Lessons from Rhode Island: How to Effectively Blend, Braid, and Use Block Grant Funds to Improve Public Health
December 12, 2017 /in Uncategorized Rhode Island Annual Conference, Blogs Accountable Health, Blending and Braiding Funding, Chronic Disease Prevention and Management, Health Equity, Population Health, Social Determinants of Health /by Chris Kukka
When Rhode Island health policymakers read the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Healthy People 2010 report, they realized their children's generation could face a shorter life expectancy than their own unless they changed their approach to public health. In response, Department of Health officials doubled down on their commitment to address health disparities and improve the social factors that directly affect health, such as housing and nutrition.
At the same time, they understood they needed a new financial approach to support their growing focus on improving health and health equity and reducing obstacles such as poverty, discrimination, poor education, and unsafe environments. Their solution: braided funding from a number of sources to help realign staff, break down organizational silos, and promote cross-sector collaboration.
The department first tested its innovative, collaborative approach through integrated projects, such as bringing together staff from diabetes, obesity, and maternal and child health programs and recruiting community partners to work on a shared initiative. When those initial projects proved successful, they took stock of their funding sources and looked for opportunities to divest from disease-specific funding sources and invest instead in more community-focused funding.
Ana Novais, executive director of health in Rhode Island's Department of Health
"Where is the funding for doing this kind of work?" observed Ana Novais, executive director of health in Rhode Island's Department of Health. "There is no health equity funding being given to us, but nearly every proposal or grant we receive mentions health disparities."
Rhode Island ultimately designed a method for "braiding" together funds from several sources to support its work to improve health equity. Officials wove together federal funds from the Maternal and Child Health Bureau of the Health Resources and Services Administration, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the Preventive Health and Health Services Block, and two different chronic disease grants from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They combined these federal funding streams with state funds, designed their work plan to meet both the department's health equity goals as well as the various federal grants' requirements, and then requested proposals from community organizations to improve health equity.
Novais explained the proposal asked communities to define themselves as health equity zones and submit proposals to prevent chronic diseases, improve birth outcomes, and improve the social and environmental conditions of neighborhoods across the state. See NASHP's In the Zone for more about Rhode Island's work to advance health equity and community health.
Novais recently shared her expertise and experience when she chaired a session on braiding and blending funds for improved population health at the annual 2017 NASHP state health policy conference held in late October. The session, presented in partnership with the de Beaumont Foundation, also featured state officials from Louisiana, Vermont, and South Carolina. Each state uses innovative braiding or blending models to address non-clinical health needs that affect public health through programs such as supportive housing and nurse home visiting for low-income, first-time mothers.
These innovative strategies may become even more important — and more widespread — in the wake of federal proposals to create block grants and cut state public health funding. A number of state health policymakers expressed concern that the flexibility provided by block grants may not adequately compensate for cuts to already lean public health budgets. To help state health policymakers prepare for and respond to such proposed changes, NASHP, the de Beaumont Foundation, and the Association of State and Territorial Health officials recently convened a group of state health policymakers from 11 states to strategically address opportunities and challenges that may result from potential changes to the federal funding landscape.
A new NASHP report, Blending, Braiding, and Block-Granting Funds for Public Health and Prevention: Implications for States, charts a way forward for states interested in maximizing their abilities to coordinate work and resources across programs. It distils ideas from the recent meeting of state leaders and explores state responses to possible federal funding scenarios. The report also:
Surveys historic and existing sources of block grants and disease- or condition-specific federal funding;
Examines how states currently use those funds; and
Poses key questions for officials to ponder in the months ahead.
In this time of rapid policy changes, it is important to learn from states working to align their funding sources to advance their population health and prevention goals. "This paper is an important and much-needed resource for state officials seeking to improve health and health equity by investing in building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities during this time of change," said Novais.
Presented in partnership with the de Beaumont Foundation.

BkiUesLxK0wg09lKDzVX | This article was excerpted from "Saudi America: The Truth about Fracking and How it's Changing the World," published by Columbia Global Reports on Sept. 11, 2018.
His death, like his legacy, was a hotly contested subject. On March 2, 2016, just after 9:00 a.m., Aubrey McClendon slammed his Chevrolet Tahoe SUV into a concrete viaduct under a bridge on Midwest Boulevard in Oklahoma City, dying instantly. He was speeding, wasn't wearing a seatbelt, and didn't appear to make any effort to avoid the collision.
In the fall of 2008, Forbes had ranked McClendon number 134 on its list of the 400 richest Americans, with an estimated net worth of over $3 billion. But because he borrowed so much money, and secured business loans with personal guarantees, two years after his death, lawyers were still wrangling over the remains of his estate, trying to figure out which debts would be paid—from the $500,000 he owed the Boy Scouts of America to the $465 million he owed a group of Wall Street creditors, including Goldman Sachs.
Many think that without McClendon's salesmanship and his astonishing ability to woo investors, the world would be a far different place today. Stories abound about how at industry conferences, executives from oil majors like Exxon would find themselves speaking to mostly empty seats, while people literally fought for space in the room where McClendon was holding forth.
A buffoon, a visionary — and a fraud?
Some of his peers, along with some on Wall Street, considered him a buffoon, a con man of sorts, and maybe even a fraud. "He was a catalyst and a visionary, sure, but he tried to kiss all the girls," says one old-time oil man. "He was a whirling dervish." "America's Most Reckless Billionaire," Forbes once called McClendon, and for many in the industry, that headline defined the man.
But if it was a con, he was conning himself, too. Because he believed. He was, in many ways, the embodiment of a transformation that has changed the face of not just the oil and gas industries but of geopolitics as well.

BkiUc2g5qoTAnFx7DwHd | Critical internet fault patched
By Patrick Goss 2008-07-09T11:33:00.19Z Operating systems
DNS flaw could have brought web to its knees
www.malware.com?
A security flaw in the way computers looks up web addresses could have brought the internet to its knees, according to researchers, who have worked with major companies to patch the problem.
A DNS flaw involving the way in which someone could effectively re-route a request for a webpage to a malware 'trap' site was spotted by IOActive's Dan Kaminsky – who took the problem to major players like Microsoft, Sun and Cisco.
The companies collaborated on a solution and the latest software updates should patch the problem, according to the US Computer Emergency Readiness Team.
Cache poisoning
"An attacker with the ability to conduct a successful cache poisoning attack can cause a nameserver's clients to contact the incorrect, and possibly malicious, hosts for particular services," CERT said.
"Consequently, web traffic, email, and other important network data can be redirected to systems under the attacker's control."
Kaminsky told AFP that the problem was on a scale not seen in the past.
"People should be concerned but they should not be panicking," Kaminsky said. "We have bought you as much time as possible to test and apply the patch. Something of this scale has not happened before."

BkiUeC85qoTBG46msuBD | I have often stated that I am so old that there weren't drugs in high school when I was there. Unfortunately the absence of drugs is no longer the norm although our law enforcement is doing a very good job of trying to eliminate the epidemic of drug use that has plagued our schools since the 1970's. The argument for marijuana since the 1970's has been that it is less damaging than alcohol and is not addictive. Well, the evidence does not support that idea.
A new study looking at alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use among adolescents gives some interesting and helpful conclusions. Well, helpful conclusions if people will be willing to remove their cultural blinders concerning marijuana. Since the politically and culturally popular thing to do is to extol the virtues of the recreational use of marijuana, the study's sharp gateway-drug implications will most likely be a warning that is derided and unheeded.
I don't understand why there is a push to legalize marijuana at the same time there are campaigns to end smoking or use of tobacco products. Are we trading one bad health habit for another? If marijuana has legitimate medical uses, it should be used for that purpose, but I see no value at all in legalizing marijuana as a recreational drug. I am simply not convinced that anyone needs to use a recreational drug–particularly one that has a negative impact on the brain and a possible impact on genes. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUdYA5qYVBeaTuDNN- | Why the extortion of Vastaamo matters far beyond Finland — and how cyber pros are responding
The unusual extortion of a prominent Finnish psychotherapy practices is turning heads.(Getty Images)
Oct 29, 2020 | CyberScoop
Even for veterans of cybercriminal investigations, the recent extortion of a psychotherapy practice in Finland has been unusual — and disturbing.
Rather than sticking only to the common tactic of trying to shake down a breached organization, the attackers who stole tens of thousands of patient records from Vastaamo also demanded ransoms from individual people. In doing so, the thieves have been leveraging some of the most sensitive medical data imaginable, and making it difficult for victims to respond collectively.
"Therapeutic notes are at a different level of privacy problems," said Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at Finnish cybersecurity company F-Secure. "I know of a handful of cases where patients were blackmailed for their health data, but those were much smaller breaches. There's never been a crime in Finland with so many victims as in this one."
While the incident has rocked Finland, prompting an emergency government meeting and costing Vastaamo's CEO his job, it could also have repercussions far beyond the Nordic country. At issue are the obligations of health care organizations to defend their computer networks, and victims' ability to hold organizations accountable for failing to do so.
In Vastaamo's case, the cause wasn't ransomware, as has been so common with health care organizations in the U.S. and elsewhere in Europe. The initial breach reportedly took place in 2018, with another hack following in 2019. But victims only began receiving messages demanding payment in cryptocurrency in recent weeks, underscoring how the targets of sensitive data heists are sometimes forced to look over their shoulders for years.
"This sort of extortion scheme makes it apparent that the risk to organizations lies not only in protecting corporate data, but ensuring that sensitive information of customers [in this case, patients] is protected to minimize the risk of what could become a dual extortion scheme," said Lindsay Kaye, director of operational outcomes at threat intelligence company Recorded Future. "If this is financially successful, it may inspire other threat actors to do something similar."
For Ryan Louie, a U.S.-based psychiatrist who focuses on the cybersecurity industry, the Vastaamo incident is a cruel reminder of what's at stake in the cybersecurity of mental health practices.
"When there is such a visceral threat and damage, I think the term 'violated' that I often hear mentioned by victims of data and privacy breaches can also apply to the mental health care system overall," Louie said. "It's a direct hit on not just cybersecurity, but also on 'psybersecurity' — that junction of feeling secure in mental health and in the digital world."
In the months since the coronavirus pandemic erupted, there have been numerous digital extortion schemes aimed at health care organizations, from small clinics to big hospitals. But the Vastaamo case shows that the potential consequences of such attacks sometimes aren't fully appreciated until the most sensitive data is stolen.
Help from the infosec community
Much about who was behind the breach and how they carried it out remains a mystery in the public eye. Finnish police are still investigating. The long interval between breach and extortion demands only complicates the matter.
"We cannot be sure the one behind the breach is the one extorting victims," Tero Muurman, a spokesperson for the cybercrime center at Finland's National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), said in an email. "We don't know whether the suspect/s is/are based in Finland or abroad."
Vastaamo, which has practices throughout Finland, has apologized for the breach and offered a crisis hotline and other forms of support for the victims.
The country's tight-knit cybersecurity community also is rallying in response. KyberVPK, a volunteer group of cybersecurity professionals, has published a guide in Finnish and English for how victims of the breach can recover. It includes mental-health advice ("take care of yourself; "you are not alone") and tips on setting up two-factor authentication to secure accounts.
"I've witnessed many of us come together to help the victims of this despicable crime," said Sami Tainio, a Finnish cyber professional.
As KyberVPK's work has become known to victims, the members are getting more requests for technical help. People are "worried whether they might get malware on their computers if they open the ransom email, or even if their emails might have been hacked as a result of the breach," KyberVPK's Markus Räty, Anu Laitila, Ossi Väänänen and Mikko Kenttälä told CyberScoop in a joint email.
KyberVPK is planning to stream a question-and-answer session on social media to explain a technically complex situation to the public. The police have thanked the white-hat hackers for their help.
"Many of our members have high technical skills and previous connections with the official agencies, and we have been helping the NBI by engaging in open source intelligence gathering and reporting our findings to them," the KyberVPK representatives said.
The legal ramifications of the Vastaamo breach are still unfolding. There are demands for stricter data regulations in Finland, given the pain the incident has caused. The European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), under which authorities can fine companies for breaches, applies to Finland.
Jukka Lang, a Helsinki-based lawyer focused on data privacy, said there have only been a handful of incidents in which Finland's data protection authorities have fined organizations for breaches. "The general awareness on the importance of GDPR obligations is still on a developing level," he said.
Compounding matters, Finnish procedural law does not allow for class-action lawsuits, Lang said. That means the type of solidarity offered in the security realm by KyberVPK could be elusive in the court room.
"Many of the victims are nevertheless contemplating legal action," Lang said. "Time for that may, however, be in distant future where the authorities have first investigated the matter."

BkiUdxg5qoTDtvejzxbn | Bob Saget 911 Call, Police Report Released: New Details Emerge on Actor's Unexpected Death
by Hilton Hater at January 11, 2022 6:38 am .
We have an update on the tragic and unexpected death of Bob Saget.
On Sunday, the actor was found dead in an Orlando hotel room just hours after completing a stand-up set in Jacksonville, Florida.
The star was best known for his role as Danny Tanner on Full House, along with his many years of hosting America's Funniest Home Videos.
He was 65 years old.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed Saget's death after deputies were called just after 4 p.m. local time.
"Earlier today, deputies were called to the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for a call about an unresponsive man in a hotel room.
"The man was identified as Robert Saget and pronounced deceased on scene.
"Detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case," the office wrote on Twitter.
No cause of death has been confirmed, although TMZ insiders now speculate that Saget may have passed away from a stroke or a heart attack.
Late on Monday, meanwhile, police released the 911 call made by a Ritz-Carlton staffer, which detailed the moment he found Saget's body and called to report an "unresponsive guest in a room" who had "no pulse" and was "not breathing."
The official police report was also made public.
In the report, Deputy Adrian Gonzalez wrote that Jody Lee Harrison (a member of the hotel security team) entered Saget's room to "check on his well-being.
The actor had been "due to check out" from his ninth-floor room, this document states, and "his family had been unable to get a hold of him."
According to the report, Harrison "received no response after knocking several times and attempted to gain entry."
Once inside the room, where all the lights were off, Harrison found Saget's body in bed "in a supine position" with his left arm "across his chest while his right arm was resting on the bed."
"Mr. Saget was 'cold to the touch, yellow and clammy'," the report reads.
"He checked for breathing and a pulse but none were detected."
Gonzalez emphasized in the report that "no signs of trauma were seen" nor were any signs of foul play.
"The room itself was orderly with items owned by Mr. Saget on the nightstand, television stand, closet and bathroom," he wrote, adding that hotel officials determined that Saget last used his room key to enter his room at 2:17 a.m.
Hotel cameras also reveal that Saget arrived at the hotel around this time and went "immediately to his room, alone."
Per this report, hotel management later spoke with Saget's wife, Kelly Rizzo, to inform her of his passing... before turning the scene over to the police's homicide detectives.
In the wake of this tragedy, close friend and former co-star John Stamos expressed his shock and sorrow on Twitter.
A day later, he joined the rest of the Full House cast in making a joint statement about Bob Saget.
"Thirty-five years ago, we came together as a TV family, but we became a real family. And now we grieve as a family," the Instagram statement says.
"Bob made us laugh until we cried. Now our tears flow in sadness, but also with gratitude for all the beautiful memories of our sweet, kind, hilarious, cherished Bob.
"He was a brother to us guys, a father to us girls and a friend to all of us. Bob, we love you dearly.
"We ask in Bob's honor, hug the people you love. No one gave better hugs than Bob."
Full House, which aired for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995, starred Saget, Stamos, the Olsen twins, David Coulier, Jodie Sweetin, Candace Cameron Bure and Lori Loughlin.
The statement was signed:
"John, Dave, Candace, Jodie, Lori, Andrea, Scott, Jeff, Ashley and Mary-Kate."
Saget's wife and three daughters also released a statement on Sunday, saying they are "devastated" by his sudden death.
"He was everything to us and we want you to know how much he loved his fans, performing live and bringing people from all walks of life together with laughter," the statement read.
"Though we ask for privacy at this time, we invite you to join us in remembering the love and laughter that Bob brought to the world."

BkiUbZk5qoYDgZl6NYxx | Open House is an American sitcom that aired Sunday at 9:30 on Fox from August 27, 1989 to April 8, 1990. The series was a spin-off of the Fox series Duet.
Synopsis
Open House starred Alison LaPlaca as Linda Phillips, the former studio executive who brought the same zeal pushing costly houses for Juan Verde Real Estate as she did working at World Wide Studios. The series also starred Mary Page Keller and Chris Lemmon continuing their roles as Laura Kelly and Richard Phillips. Newly separated from her writer husband Ben Coleman, Laura also quit catering, and became an apprentice agent. Richard, Linda's husband, was a pianist at Jasper's, but left the hangout — and his wife — by mid-season. Among Linda's eccentric co-workers were Ted Nichols (Philip Charles MacKenzie), her main rival; Scott Babylon (Danny Gans), a talented impressionist; Margo Van Meter (Ellen DeGeneres), the sassy, man-hungry secretary; and Roger McSwain (Nick Tate), the manager of Juan Verde.
The premise of the series had originated in the series finale of Duet, in which Linda was introduced to Ted, who brought her to Juan Verde to start her new career. LaPlaca and MacKenzie had been dating for several years by the time they worked opposite each other on Duet and Open House (they first worked together on a 1985 episode of MacKenzie's former series, Brothers). In 1992, two years after the cancellation of Open House, LaPlaca and MacKenzie were married.

BkiUe7I5qhDCeKz25kew | 1. Hi!! We'll start as always with a short bio of yourself and your band.
2. You started way back in 1993, why did it took you so many years to release something?
3. You call your music black/heavy metal, why did you wanted to mix both style?
4. You've released two 7" until now, do you have an album in preparation or will you release another 7" before? And also do you prefer CD releases or good old vinyl?
5. What are your main influences? Are you crazy about old heavy/trash/death/black bands (like me!) or do you prefer nowadays scenes? What would be for you the main differences between those two eras in the metal history if there are any?
Tue: I'm not sure about what you mean with the 'old scene', that could be both the eighties & nineties scene you're referring to (and I can't really consider myself part of the former), but it seems that the 'scene' has become less & less interesting and unoriginal. Too much samey stuff done in a very set way. We are definitely against such conformity, and will always ignore any trends and do our own stuff in our own way!
6. Even if Denmark is right next door to Norway, Sweden, etc there are not so many black metal bands coming out of your country like for the above ones, how could you explain that?
7. Is there a big underground scene in DK with many fanzines, small labels, etc or nobody cares about anybody?
8. What do you want to do with your life?
9. What are you doing with your life right now?
10. I've been in Copenhagen sometimes and enjoyed my stays quite a lot, do you have some special dark, creepy, perverted places to recommend to me or those who could visit your city?
11. This is the end for this interview, any last words you want to spit?
Henrik: "Yes, Thank you for the interview and support! The "Superstitionis Maleficiae" Ep will probably be sold out from us when you read this, but many distros have it. Otherwise you can hear free mp3s and check up on news on our homepage. There are is talk about some different releases and maybe also a cd version on "Superstitionis" or something. All serious drummers should contact us, as we really want to record our songs and play live. | c4 | 2 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdcDxaKgTwZRrJMRg | Pullman Record Minute Books, from the Midwest Manuscripts Collection.
Ordnance Survey materials for use in cartographic and genealogical research.
The Newberry has actively collected research and reference materials since its foundation in 1887. From the mid-1890s on, its collecting activities have focused on the humanities, with an emphasis on original sources for the study of European and Western Hemisphere history, literature, and culture since the late medieval period. The Newberry has also continued to build its collection of secondary books – including reference works, monographs, periodicals, and other serials – and more recently digitized reproductions to support the use of its original sources.
Today, the library's evolving collections include more than 1.5 million books, five million manuscript pages (15,000 cubic feet), and 500,000 historic maps. Look at Recent Acquisitions to see examples of what has been added to the collection during the last few years. Our History and Timeline pages offer further details on individual collections and people in the Newberry's past.
As the collection has been built by a combination of gift and purchase across the past century and a quarter, the following special areas of strengths have developed. (See Core Collections.)
Manuscripts and Archives
The Newberry's founding donor, Walter L. Newberry, did not leave any books for the library because his personal goods were destroyed by the Chicago Fire of 1871. But his financial legacy made it possible for the Newberry to buy much material in its earliest years, including Florentine Count Pio Resse's great music library (1889), the magnificent collection of rare books and manuscripts assembled by Henry Probasco of Cincinnati (1890), and the 17,000-volume collection of language and linguistic material of Prince Louis-Lucien Bonaparte (1901). Genealogical resources began to be purchased regularly before 1900. During the 1920s and 1930s, the Newberry year after year purchased incunabula, a process that has continued into the present.
The largest single expenditure to acquire a collection came in 1964, with the purchase of the Louis H. Silver Collection of English and Continental early and first editions. Other notable purchases of entire collections in that era included the Franco Novacco Collection of European maps and views and the Francis Driscoll Collection of American sheet music, as well as a 35,000-item collection of French Revolution-era pamphlets. Among the most notable recent purchases of large collections have been the Klaus Stopp Collection of printed German-American birth and baptismal certificates and a substantial group of maps and books with maps from the collection of the Chicago History Museum.
The gift of two major collections in the years after 1910 permanently shaped the Newberry. In 1911, Edward E. Ayer began giving the library his extraordinary collection of materials related to American Indians. In 1918, John M. Wing left the Newberry his equally exceptional collection related to the history of printing and the book arts. Both men bequeathed funds that have allowed their collections to grow mightily since that time. The same was true of William B. Greenlee and Everett D. Graff, who gave both extremely important collections related, respectively, to Portugal and Brazil and to the American West, and funding for future purchases. The Rudy L. Ruggles Collection, focusing on key elements of American constitutional history and literature, was also supplemented by a purchase fund.
One of the most active areas of collecting at the Newberry since the mid-twentieth century has been manuscript materials and archives related to Chicago and Midwest businesses and journalism and cultural organizations. Major railroad companies are especially well represented, as are the history of dance (the Ann Barzell Collection), news organizations (Chicago Daily News, Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Reader, City News Bureau), and Chicago clubs.
Maps and map-related materials have come to the Newberry in abundance in recent decades. These materials have included the maps and atlases published by the Rand McNally Company since 1876, as well as the archives of Rand McNally, the General Drafting Company, and the H. M. Gousha Company. From the Roger S. Baskes Collection of books with maps have come some 10,000 items already, with support for cataloging.
During the last two decades, the Newberry has worked closely with other Chicago-area institutions to bring items from their collections into ours. Thousands of items related to European and American religion, which are today part of the Sister Ann Ida Gannon Collection, have come from Mundelein College, the Divine Word Society, the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Albert the Great, Concordia University, the Passionist Monastery of Chicago (Northside), the McCormick Theological Seminary, and the Catholic Theological Union.
Today the Newberry's curatorial and professional library staff and the representatives of our Research and Academic Programs Division, including research center directors, work collaboratively to develop the collection further, in partnership with our Society of Collectors, other individual donors of materials, and those who give funds for the purchase of materials. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUeRs4eIOjRwCobsz0 | What a day in Urridafoss!
here below is the news day after the opening last summer, but to morrow, we will open Urriðafoss waterfall which is 5 days earlier than a year before. Let's hope the salmon has arrived, we will keep you updated.
We can surely say that we have some very happy anglers after yesterday's fishing in Urridafoss waterfall on Thjorsa river. The first salmon was caught very early in the morning, at noon there had been caught 8 salmons. The final number for this opening day was 18 salmons, all were big and beautiful or between 80-88 cm.
It was a great day in Urridafoss, great atmosphere and definitely a good way to start the season. Urridafoss will be one of the hot spots this summer, that is for sure. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

My quiz-team friends will confirm that I "don't do Shakespeare", but I know from CODA's production of Much Ado About Nothing in 2016 that it is possible to enjoy his works when you're not worrying about memorising quotes for your O level (GCSE, in old money). This year's CODA production Romeo and Juliet was one of the plays that I actually studied, the other being Julius Caesar (N.B.: CODA, this is not a suggestion for next year). Two things struck me during the evening. Firstly, a lot of the innuendo in the dialogue had gone right over my teenage head. Secondly, the themes of forbidden love and blind hatred resonate across the centuries and did not seem out of place in 21st-century Wandle Park. In fact, I was slightly worried at one point that Mercutio's energetic curse on both houses would elicit an unexpected response from park users outside the bandstand.
Liz Fox as Lady Capulet, Megan Claridge as Juliet, and Phoebe Dunster as the Nurse.
CODA actors delivered the word-perfect performance that we have come to expect from them, but there didn't seem to be quite as many opportunities as usual for innovative uses of the bandstand (my personal favourite has to be soldiers arriving on scooters). Using red and white was a simple but effective way of distinguishing between Montagues and Capulets; helpful if your knowledge of supporting characters was a bit rusty. An acoustic version of 'Why Must I Be A Teenager In Love?' was a fitting accompaniment to Romeo and Juliet's earnest flirtation.
Casting a young pair in the title roles was a shrewd move, and Luca Crawford and Megan Claridge gave their characters the youthful intensity necessary to carry the narrative along. Some of the remaining cast seemed more comfortable than others in their roles. As well as Tom McGowan's Mercutio, we particularly enjoyed the performances of Phoebe Dunster as the no-nonsense Nurse and Danielle Perrimon as the Reverend Mother (Friar Lawrence in the original), dispensing comfort and advice in equal measure. On such a hot evening it was challenging at times to maintain concentration during a first act that lasted nearly two hours, but that's what the man wrote, and CODA delivered faithfully against a backdrop of even more distractions than usual. These included dog walkers, cyclists, commuters, trams, children in the play area and a police helicopter. We learned via social media during the interval that there had been a grass fire on the opposite side of the park earlier, but thankfully that had been dealt with before curtain-up.
CODA and the bandstand are a great combination. I shall crack open the Pimm's again next year, as long as they don't decide to put on Julius Caesar.
Sue Harling moved to Croydon from Leicester twenty-three years ago via Bath, Krefeld and other parts of London. She lives with her family in Waddon, where there is plentiful access to her favourite pastimes: tribute bands, cafes, choral singing and quizzes. In her spare time she's a civil servant.
A highlight of our summer. It was a wonderful setting and appreciated how the actors made full use of the space available. Fantastic performance and agree with Sue on the casting choices of Luca and Megan for the key roles. This was my daughters first experience to Shakespeare and they loved it. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

COOPERATIVE CONSERVATION CASE STUDY
Appalachian National Scenic Trail
Location: Southeastern
Project Summary: Eighty year-old public/private partnership manages the 2,175 mile-long Appalachian Trail from Maine to Georgia.

Resource Challenge
The Appalachian Trail is a continuous footpath along the Appalachian Mountains from Maine to Georgia. It was conceived in 1921, completed in 1937, and designated as the first National Scenic Trail in 1968. It is the nation's longest, most accessible National Park, passing through or near more than 100 communities along the eastern seaboard and serving nearly four million hikers a year. Its 2,175-mile stretch makes partnership and collaboration a necessity in the Trail's management and upkeep.
Following more than three decades of land protection by state and federal agencies and private land conservancies, the Appalachian Trail corridor now forms a slender greenway that connects more than 75 public land areas in 14 States. It is a haven for biological diversity, protecting more than 2,000 occurrences of rare plant and animal species.
Examples of Key Partners
Seven National Parks, eight National Forests, one National Wildlife Refuge, Tennessee Valley Authority, Smithsonian Institution, 60 state agencies and private partners, coordinated by the nonprofit Appalachian Trail Conservancy (ATC).
Results and Accomplishments
In 1984, the USDI National Park Service (NPS) entered into an unprecedented agreement, delegating most responsibilities for management of NPS lands along the trail to the non-profit ATC. This cooperative agreement, which was renewed in November 2004, serves as the cornerstone of the decentralized, volunteer-based ATC Management System. The NPS and ATC have entered into similar agreements with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service, the 14 states through which the Trail passes, and ATC's 30 Trail-maintaining clubs.
Through long-standing collaboration, the managing partners have successfully conserved the trail and its corridor, providing opportunities for millions of visitors to experience and enjoy the Appalachian Mountains. Recent accomplishments include:
Some 5,000 volunteers in 30 clubs contribute 200,000 hours of labor each year to maintain, manage, and protect the Appalachian Trail.
Agreements with more than 100 public and private management partners ensure consistent Trail management across many jurisdictions.
A 12-year project inventoried more than 2,000 occurrences of threatened, endangered, and sensitive species.
The Ridgerunner Program, staffed by volunteer hikers, educates visitors about appropriate use of the Trail.
A new volunteer-based conservation program helps monitor rare plant species, water quality, air quality, forest social impacts to the Trail.
Dozens of shelter renovations, footpath relocation and rehabilitation projects, footbridges, and other projects are completed every year.
Innovation/Highlight
The private non-profit Appalachian Trail Conference coordinates maintenance of the 2,175-mile trail through the use of volunteers.

BkiUd5c5qYVBZEfUi61q | Brazil's biggest private sector lender Itaú Unibanco Holding SA said its card processor unit Rede will continue to be profitable despite a decision to stop charging interest rates and repaying merchants using its machines in two days, a bank executive said on Thursday evening. Rede CEO Marcos Magalhães told Reuters the card processor decided to advance payments to merchants in as little as two days, compared with the usual 30-day period, in order to close the gap with international practices. The decision is effective May 2 and includes zeroing interest rates.
Deutsche Bank (DB) decides to set up its ARC in India as it seeks to make profits by buying and reorganizing non-performing credit.
Brazil's state-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA has hired the investment banking unit of Banco Santander Brasil SA to revive efforts to sell its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) distribution unit, four sources with knowledge of the matter said on Tuesday. Petrobras, Santander and Itau did not immediately comment. Petrobras, as the company is known, had agreed in 2016 to sell Liquigas Distribuidora SA to local rival Ultrapar Participações SA in a process managed by the investment banking unit of Itau Unibanco Holding SA.
Brazil's real fell 0.2 percent, declining for the seventh consecutive session. Much anticipated pension reforms in Brazil have been on hold as Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro recovers from a surgery. You Na Park, analyst at Commerzbank said risks for the real remain elevated.
Chile's peso rose 0.4 percent and led gains among regional currencies, while the Colombian peso tracked oil prices higher. Christian Lawrence, a senior market strategist at Rabobank, attributed the day's currency moves to a bit of squaring up of positions heading into the weekend. Brazil's real was down slightly after gaining earlier in the session, while the Mexican peso was up 0.2 percent, extending gains from the previous session when it rose after the country's central bank held the benchmark borrowing rate steady.
Banco Itau (ITUB) has been upgraded to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), reflecting growing optimism about the company's earnings prospects. This might drive the stock higher in the near term.
Yesterday, JPMorgan released a report that said Brazilian stocks are due for a "healthy pause" after a huge rally following the election of it's new pro-business President Jair Bolsonaro. Brazilian stocks have gain 18% since the first round of the elections, and JPMorgan sees it going up as much as 28% more. With the global economy still grinding forward, investors looking at emerging market stocks have plenty to like about Brazil. And now, with prices about to "pause", it might be a great time to buy Brazilian stocks. Overall, the market is trading for a dirt-cheap P/E of just 12. * 5 of the Best Biotech Stocks to Buy Now With that, here are for Brazilian stocks to buy today. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Source: Felix Carmona via Flickr (Modified) ### CPFL Energeia S.A. (CPL) One of the best ways to avoid any possible volatility is by investing in "safer" sectors of the market -- sectors that provide plenty of cash flows and dividends. One of the best happens to be utility stocks. Well, this theory works the same when it comes to emerging market stocks. For investors looking at Brazilian stocks specifically, that means top utility CPFL Energia S.A. (NYSE:CPL). CPL is one of Brazil's largest electric companies and has assets that span more than 679 municipalities to more than 9.5 million customers. This includes key states like Brazilian economic powerhouse of Sao Paulo. And this is a good position to be in as it's allowed CPL to pull in some pretty steady and hefty revenues. During its latest reported quarter, CPL managed to see a nice 4% jump in its revenues. Meanwhile, its net income managed to see a big 60% year-over-year increase. That's not too shabby at all and is representative of its continued debt reduction program and stability of Brazilian currency/economy. Like many U.S. utilities, CPL has undergone some initiatives to boost margins further. The Brazilian utility has added plenty of renewable generation assets as well as begun the initial steps to add smart-meters/grid operations to its core areas. All in all, this should help drive profits higher. And CFL hasn't been scared to share those profits either. The firm has a long history of paying dividends. Today, shares yield 1.7%. Source: Shutterstock ### Arcos Dorados Holding (ARCO) McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) is a global institution and one of the top 10 brands in the world. And while you certainly could buy MCD stock, a better bet could be Brazilian-based emerging market stock Arcos Dorados (NYSE:ARCO). Arcos Dorados -- which means Golden Arches -- is the world's largest McDonald's franchisee in terms of system-wide sales and number of restaurants. This includes over 2,100 restaurants in Latin America and the Caribbean. Brazil is top on that list with 910 stores. But ARCO owns Big Mac shacks in Mexico, Peru, and even French Guyana. This dominance has made ARCO a revenue machine. Last quarter, consolidated revenue jumped by 8.3%, on a constant currency basis, while net income increased by over 68%. One of the big drivers of that was results from Brazil. Thanks to the economy beginning to even out and inflation are tamed, ARCO's managed to see a huge jump to its earnings. Those stores in Brazil managed to realize an adjusted EBITDA increase of 37% year-over-year. And when looking at a constant currency basis, that number spikes to a 73% year-over-year gain. These results show that as the Brazilian economy has improved, ARCO's has directly benefited. It should continue to benefit as well. * 7 Stocks That Won Super Bowl Sunday As for shares itself, ARCO trades at forward P/E of 21. While that's not super cheap, it could still be a bargain as Brazil's growth is only getting restarted. Source: Shutterstock ### Itau Unibanco Holding SA (ITUB) For investors looking to snag-up emerging market stocks, financial institutions and banks are often some of the best places to go shopping. In Brazilian stocks, that's no different. In fact, Brazil is home to one of the largest banks in the southern hemisphere: Itau Unibanco Holding SA (NYSE:ITUB). ITUB was created through the merger of banking giants Banco Itau and Unibanco back in 2008. Since then, the firm has continued to grow through an aggressive, yet smart, acquisition strategy. This included snagging several Lat Am units from Citigroup (NYSE:C) as well as other regional banks in Brazil and Latin America. These buyouts have made ITUB one of the largest banks in the world and it currently controls about 11% of Brazil's retail banking market. The firm also owns the second largest Brazilian card payment company, Rede. This makes Itau Unibanco a prime play on the growing consumer base in the nation. Meanwhile, the bank is very conservatively run and features a solid balance sheet. Recent higher revenues and lower loan provisions underscore Brazil's recent economic strength -- as does ITUB's small monthly dividend and its continued stock dividend bonuses. ### iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (EWZ) For some investors, buying individual emerging market stocks -- even those from a top market like Brazil -- is a bit daunting. There is still plenty of risks. Perhaps the best way to own the potential of Brazilian stocks is through an ETF that holds a bunch of different firms. The still reigning champion is the iShares MSCI Brazil ETF (NYSEARCA:EWZ). The $9 billion ETF tracks the MSCI Brazil 25/50 Index. This measure holds a collection of large- and mid-cap emerging market stocks domiciled in the nation. The ETF's 57 holdings read like a who's who of top Brazilian names and include all of the stocks on this list. This provides plenty of diversification benefits and allows investors to easily tap into the nation's long-term potential. And Brazil does have plenty of potential. But just be aware that the ETF is pretty volatile. EWZ's average annual year-to-date, one-, five- and 10-year returns have clocked in at -1.79%, 25.20%, -0.30%, and 4.15% respectively. Since the fund's inception in 2000, the ETF has managed to produce an average annual 6.51% return. As you can see, the ride has been bumpy. * 10 F-Rated Stocks That Could Break Your Portfolio But the ETF is still the best way to play both the short and long-term trade in Brazil. With an expense ratio of 0.59% -- or $59 per $10,000 invested -- it's a cheap option as well. Disclosure: At the time of writing, Aaron Levitt did not hold a position in any stock mentioned. ### More From InvestorPlace * 2 Toxic Pot Stocks You Should Avoid * 10 F-Rated Stocks That Could Break Your Portfolio * 5 Fintech Stocks to Buy As This Mega Trend Gains Steam * 10 Cold Weather Stocks to Heat Up Your Returns Compare Brokers The post 4 Brazilian Stocks to Buy as the Emerging Market Pauses appeared first on InvestorPlace.
Brazil stocks retreated from all-time highs on Tuesday as shares of the country's largest private lender, Itau Unibanco Holding SA, weighed, while Mexico's peso was on course for its best day in two weeks. Bucking a rise in broader emerging markets and global stocks, Brazil's Bovespa stock index slipped 0.4 percent as shares of Itau Unibanco fell 2.8 percent after its loan growth guidance disappointed analysts. Brazilian food processor BRF SA rose after it announced the appointment of former Petrobras Chief Executive Ivan Monteiro as its new chief financial officer. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 4 | 2 |

That's not true. They assign free seat by themselves and proceed with web check-in.
Bro it's 1500 goto airport.
It really depends on the flight I guess. I read the news too but recently when I checked in for my flight(last week), I didn't pay anything for the seat selection.
Go to airport around 1-1.5 hours before ….do webcheckin through kiosk and select available seats for free…there are good chances you can get window or aisle seat. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 1 |

BkiUcHjxK1ThhCdy7VqG | Our faces are often the very first areas to show signs of aging. Diminished collagen production can cause lines and wrinkles, as well as lax skin. If you are living with signs of facial aging that make you feel older than you are, there are a number of facial rejuvenation treatments that can help. Read on to learn more about facial rejuvenation options in Brandon.
When considering facial rejuvenation treatments in Brandon, be sure to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Shiebaum to help ensure optimal results. Some of the most popular facial treatments include eyelid rejuvenation, facelift, Botox and fillers.
Eyelid Rejuvenation- Individuals who have loss of volume in the face that leads to sunken eyes and sagging skin can often benefit from this procedure. This procedure can address the upper eyelids, the lower eyelids, or both for a more alert appearance.
Facelift- A facelift can help to tighten and eliminate excess facial skin to restore a more youthful appearance. This procedure focuses on facial harmony, for a younger-looking version of you. There are many techniques that can be used to achieve a facelift, which can be discussed during your consultation.
Botox- Botox is a nonsurgical rejuvenation option that can smooth unwanted lines and wrinkles. Botox is most commonly used to treat forehead lines, lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet. However, it can also be used to treat skin bands on the neck.
Fillers- Fillers are another nonsurgical treatment option that restores lost volume in the face, and/or smooths lines and wrinkles. There are many different types of dermal fillers, including Restylane, Juvederm, Radiesse, and Sculptra. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUe3U5qhDCYT-7hIPQ | I have been matched with my Little Brother Shamain for a year and a half. It has been one of the most worthwhile, yet challenging experiences, of my life When we first met I asked him what he wanted to be when he got older, He answered: "a police officer." I knew that he would either end up in the front or the back seat of the police car. From that day on I was committed to keeping him in the front seat.
We have been rollerblading and ice skating. We have gone to sporting events, court, the circus, etc. Shamain can always count on a weekly dose of lectures including, but not limited to, the importance of getting good grades and having solid values. I have seen a significant growth in him physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I, too, have learned a great deal. I get to relive my childhood as I share some of my experiences with him. The Herald has more than adequately documented the problems with juvenile delinquency in Dade County.
Homicide is the leading cause of death among African-American males ages 15 to 24. Thirty-five percent of the nation's students identify fighting gangs in their schools and describe gang activity as getting worse. Experts believe that the cause for this social epidemic may be the lack of parental supervision and role models, a high dropout rate, and the increased availability of drugs and handguns.
One solution, implemented nationwide, is the mentoring program of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America. Based on a recent public-private study, mentored youths were 46 percent less likely to begin using drugs, 27 percent less likely to begin alcohol use, and 52 percent less likely to skip school.
Unfortunately, the local waiting list for mentors is in the hundreds. Our community's children need more adult mentors. The time commitment is not overwhelming. A couple of visits a month can make a huge difference. The rewards will be tremendous and gained by everyone involved.
To learn more, call Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Miami at (305) 644-0066, 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday through Friday. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdeY5qWTBD5_PlI_B | There is a lot that's being said these days about doing dramatic radical things for Jesus. That has merit, but sometimes it is good to read of what it means to live faithfully in the midst of normal life. Carolyn Weber's new book Holy is the day explores finding God in the normal things of life with incredible beauty, wisdom and intelligence.
Carolyn's first book, Surprised by Oxford, tells the story of discovering Christianity and meeting her husband while an international student studying literature at the historic Oxford University. Holy is the Day picks up later in the story as she navigates pregnancy, facing the challenges of being a Christian employed in academia and moving home to Canada. As in her first book, the stories are vividly and beautifully told. As cliché as it sounds, reading her story made me feel like I was there amidst it all. The book also shines for the depth of the theological reflection, something I think she has grown even more in since her first book. She articulates a lot of big and thoughtful ideas while still maintaining beautiful prose. I was particularly struck by her reflections on how the difficult challenges of working through the aftermath of trauma. This is definitely something that could use more and better discussion among Christians.
I strongly commend this book to you. I hope it is widely read because it has much truth and beauty to communicate. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUd5LxK19JmhArEFMB | Hello~ how are you today?
Anyway my shopping list for beauty products recently only involved around skincare products (things that I will always repurchase. Lately, I used Kiehls, Erha Clinic, and SKII for my skincare) and some cosmetic that I use frequently and already empty (eyeliner and powder). Aside from that, I don't try new cosmetics at all (except freebies that I got from event). So, to make a haul post like this one, I need to wait for several months so I can have enough things to show you hehehehe.
First, Hair products! My favourite hair mask from local brand, Ellips. It can be found easily at supermarket and the price is around IDR 8-9k. As for the hair vitamin, Lucido-L, I just try it recently and I think the smell is very good~ it also sold at supermarket, the price is around IDR 35K.
Daiso Makeup Puff. If you need a good quality puff with affordable price, you maybe want to consider Daiso. I've been a loyal customer for this product since I knew make up several years ago. With IDR 25K you can get 12pcs puff. Maybelline baby lips is one of my favourite lipbalm, the price is around IDR 22K, pretty cheap right?
Maybelline White Superfresh cake powder (Price around IDR 50K) and Revlon Touch and Glow Face powder (Price around IDR 40K). Actually I bought these for my mom. Usually we share the cosmetic (my mom and sis don't really do make up so they just use everything they can found on the table, and mostly are mine hahahaha) but for the powder, they use loose powder while I prefer the compact powder. So far I like the coverage from Maybelline white superfresh, but I still haven't try the revlon one.
So, I went to Bali for the Eid Fitri Holiday and I bought these two at Krisna (souvenir shop). The body mist has the best green tea scent everrr. I really love the fragrant scent, it is fresh, relaxing and long lasting. The candles, haven't try it yet and bought mostly because of the design hahaha.
Hair tools! I bought a new hair straightener because my old one was broken during my trip to Bali. It is a 2 in 1 product, it can curl and straighten hair (Price IDR 275K). Also bought a new hair dryer from Vidal Sassoon, it has 2 different blow, cool and hot (Price IDR 320K from Luxola). And the last thing is the hair brush. Bought this because the color is matching with my straightener and hair dryer lol (IDR 149K from Kay Collection). It has sturdy handle and works really well for my thick hair.

BkiUd0E4eIfiUSz0sjD3 | Teen charged with killing 8-year-old emotionless in court
FOX 2 News (KTVU) - Dressed in jailhouse khakis and a green shirt, a 15-year-old accused of kidnapping, raping and murdering his 8-year-old neighbor showed little emotion during his first court appearance Thursday.
Police say Adrian Jerry Gonzalez lured Madyson Middleton into his family's apartment from a courtyard where she had been riding her scooter over the weekend. Once inside, he tied her up, sexually assaulted and killed her, according a charging document.
Gonzalez wearing handcuffs gave two soft "yes" answers to the judge before his arraignment was continued to Sept. 21st.
Outside the courtroom, prosecutors said they would be seeking a life sentence with the possibility of parole at trial.
Gonzalez remains in custody at the Santa Cruz County juvenile detention center, where he has been held since the girl's body was found in a recycling bin Monday evening.
Meanwhile, a memorial outside Madyson's home continued to grow Thursday.
She had a little, black dog named "Lucy" and tearful children at the Tannery placed pictures and notes on the growing memorial overflowing with bouquets, stuffed animals, balloons and candles.
"It was nice how you were so perky," wrote one.
"We all miss you," wrote another, next to a picture of the slain girl with wings and a halo.
A local resident, Kirby Scudder, described Madyson as a typical 8-year-old, alternately shy and gregarious.
"She was very smart, and I thought she was going to be an engineer," he said. "She had a great sense of humor."
Neighbors at the Tannery Arts Center where both the suspect and Madyson lived said they were stunned by the death. The center is a public-private nonprofit that includes 100 affordable loft apartments for artists and their families. About 250 people live in the complex, including about 50 children.
"It's a great community because it's a bit unusual," Geoffrey Nelson, a photographer and Tannery resident, said. "You share the joys of people, their children growing up. Their art shows, their recitals. But you also share the sorrows."
Nelson said he's known Gonzalez for several years and described him as shy, though they often chatted. "He was a yo-yo-expert, so he was oftentimes showing you tricks," Nelson said.
Residents have been heartbroken to learn that he is suspected in the death, he said.
"It wasn't somebody from the outside," Nelson said. "It was somebody we all knew. It was someone we all knew and liked."

BkiUc_E4eIfiUSUPWvwN | When you're laying out hundreds of dollars apiece for iPads, iPhones and other iOS devices, keeping them intact is an investment in itself. All the more so if kids are involved. Cases and skins offer differing degrees of protection — and customization — for your Apple mobile products. If you're in the market for something to wrap your iOS device in, here is a trio I recently spent some time trying out.
I've written about GelaSkins a number of times. In my opinion these adhesive skins are one of the best ways to add a unique flair to your electronics. Apple may offer you a choice of black or white, but GelaSkins now has over 1,000 different designs available, ranging from classic art collections to the cutting edge, comic books to National Geographic. There's a section just for kids too.
The one thing lacking with the skins is real protection from bumps and drops. They certainly help to prevent scratches and general wear and tear from being carted around in a pocket or knapsack, but the skins don't do much (other than than hold the shattered pieces together) if you drop a device.
However, GelaSkins recently introduced a new line of hard cases for the iPhone 4 and 4S (also available for the iPhone 3G and 3GS), called — appropriately enough — the HardCase. There are 300+ designs offered, plus the ability to upload your own artwork (the company sent the sweet GeekDad case you see in the photo). The case is a one-piecer that fits over the back of the iPhone, leaving the display exposed. While this case is far from the ultimate protection for an iPhone, for those looking for a compromise between sturdiness and style, it's not a bad choice. It's easy to pop the iPhone in and out of the case, the cutouts give easy access to all the phone controls, the HardCase doesn't add much in the way of bulk and there was no interference with any of my docks. Like other GelaSkins products, a matching wallpaper can be downloaded for each design as well.
The GelaSkins iPhone 4/4S HardCase is priced at $34.95 through Gelaskins' website, or you can usually find a limited selection on Amazon.
DomeSkin also offers adhesive skins for portable electronics, but with a twist. Although they also use a 3M adhesive that makes them removable and reusable, DomeSkins differ significantly from other adhesive skins in that they aren't thin, sticker-like applications. The DomeSkins use a raised, puffy "dome" design (thus the name) that actually adds an element of protection to a device. I tested a skin that was applied to my daughter's original iPad.
Anyone who's applied a skin to a device knows that they can be a little fussy. When you combine a thin, sticky piece of plastic and a device with all sorts of buttons and bezels, the positioning can get a bit tricky. Because the Domeskins are thicker, I found the application process to be more forgiving and lining up cutouts for the display and home button was easy. The large sticker protecting the back of the iPad is a solid rectangle, so that was pretty much a no brainer. But if you don't get it right the first time, the adhesive is forgiving enough to let you pull it off and try again.
Once applied, the Domeskin definitely improved the iPad experience for my daughter, who has had some past mishaps with electronics. The soft skin makes gripping the device easier and provides cushioning without making it feel bulky. In fact, holding the iPad feels more sure and comfortable with it. I would be pretty much holding my breath on the odd occasion she used her iPad without its case, but with the Domeskin on, I feel much less apprehensive (and it still fits in the case). I wasn't about to drop the iPad off a counter to find out for certain what would happen, mind you, but having it is at least some insurance. Applying a Domeskin isn't a replacement for a case, but for anyone who wants to add a customized look to their iPad while incorporating a better gripping surface and gaining protection from scratches and minor bumps, this would be a good option. Going the skin route also means that buttons and ports are completely unobstructed so docking and operation is not an issue. On purchase of a Domeskin, a matching wallpaper will be e-mailed.
Domeskins are available in a variety of designs for iPhones, iPods, iPads and BlackBerry Devices through Domeskin's website. The iPad skin reviewed is priced at $29.99.
I've reviewed a number of M-Edge products before, but until now, the company has primarily been focused on cases and accessories for e-readers and tablets; the Alter Ego Skin is its first foray into iPhone territory.
I've seen a lot of iPhone cases and the Alter Ego is a pretty basic one. It's a flexible silicon skin that's easy to pop on and off and it's inexpensive. It will provide basic impact and scratch protection without adding much in the way of bulk or weight, and the silicon combined with a stamped hexagon pattern means your hands can get a good grip on the iPhone — unfortunately, that grippy texture means it can attract dust and dog hair too, but that's probably a bigger hazard in my house than most.
The novelty factor with the Alter Ego I was sent is its glow in the dark capability. And it really does glow, especially if you leave it in the light for a few minutes. My kids were all over this one because of that glowing. It's not the most stylish iPhone protector out there, but then again it's inexpensive and gets the job done.
Alter Ego for iPhone 4/4S is available in seven colors (three that glow) and priced at $19.99 through M-Edge.

BkiUgAc5qhDC0kZMYpJG | A couple of months ago I posted an article about OLED monitors and laptop displays in which I discussed why there isn't any such product on the market yet. Today the Korea Times reports that Samsung Display will today unveil new 14" OLED panels at the IMID 2014 tradeshow in Korea.
If this report is correct, this is very interesting - as it probably means that Samsung Electronics is finally developing a laptop device with an OLED display. This could also be used in a large tablet (perhaps with a keyboard attachment) or a laptop/tablet hybrid device. We'll probably know more later when we have a real report from IMID.
Even though a laptop or monitor display may not be the best market for OLED displays, I still think there's a lot of sense in that. I'm sure there's a real market for premium laptops and customers that will be ready to pay out an extra $200-$300 for a lighter and slimmer laptop with a fabulous OLED display.
Samsung has been showing similarly sized OLED prototypes before. But we're way past the "OLED prototype demonstration phase" - and I think that if SDC will indeed show a panel it means they intend to turn it into a product soon.
Are there any additional news on that?
We had OLED prototypes in our lab for nearly 2 decades now (Xmas'14). Initially suffering from a variety of 'childhood diseases', e.g., non-equal RGB efficiencies, lifetime, remanence/burn, costs etc. - most solved already a decade, others being fixed and improved still today.
Well, the '01 and '08 crises have generally affected all our plans economically, plus the fact that the BRIC and developing countries aren't early adopters of high end technologies.
Perhaps the reviewers and market alike lacking in education or interest for the finer 'details'? Or the coupling between HDTV and computer screens, keeping our monitors/panels stuck at 1080p and arguably wrong aspect ratios for PCs?
All these until the field was shook awake by Jobs' push for Retina high DPI screens... Then the UHD / 4K, all pushing for the welcomed higher resolutions. All achievable in xPS, IGZO, xVA, even TN LCD technologies at lower costs than OLED. While the black- and color-depth, static contrast, speed, energy etc. are still too subtle "details" for the high end.
Also the shift to mobile phone and tablet, with a slump in PC/laptop interest, have caused or contributed to the lack of 14-31" OLED panels. As mobile devices are predominantly used for content consumption AD 2014, the PC/laptop are perceived as either low-end (no margin for OLED costs), or business (office) apps.
The engineering and pro markets for 14-31" OLED panels are considered still a niche, after tablets (Samsung still has problems selling its Tab S series at premium price for AMOLED) and TVs (expensive vs. the TN-based 4K).
Where are the OLED monitors and OLED laptops? Likely in economics, and the lack of market education - driven by reviewers and opinion-leaders. What % of these have blogged about the need for OLED ?
I doubt the burn-in issue is going to go away quickly. If there is a real problem beyond the burn-in, it's probably to do with some specifics I haven't pinpointed - eg. my old LG 15" oled tv is pleasing to watch. I'm not convinced that all OLED products are equal in terms of how easy they are to watch but sensitive people could be sensitive in different ways so all one can hope is to have choice and ability to try out the product. I'm moderately happy with the cheap VA Benq I had to get after my CRT went kaput - I can view it full day but I easily feel that my eyes are more stressed out than when looking elsewhere or at the OLED TV. Not as bad as my first ccfl LCD though - with that it got so bad I couldn't watch it for more than a couple hours.
Because of the burn-in I suspect the biggest OLED market outside TV's is for secondary monitor for gaming or videos etc, so you can have 2 monitors in 1 pc such that the lcd is tweaked for "paper bright", while the OLED is "large dynamic range". Maybe there is another solution for the problem where web sites use rgb ff as background thinking that it equals to paper bright - and then you go and see some game screenshot where rgb ff is assumed to be "sun bright". I'm not sure what the solution is though. | c4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 |

BkiUeBjxK0wg0_74_bXz | Weekly Planning is a method of tracking the weekly activities of your company. It is an important, but often understated part of the OKR Process. Alongside Objectives and Key Results you also need to keep your weekly plans or initiatives in mind, and think about how what you do each week contributes to your larger goals.
By running Weekly Planning alongside OKRs, you can instantly understand what high-level plans are achieved each week and see how they relate to your company's long term goals. It serves as a replacement for weekly stand-up meetings with quick and simple check-ins. This lets you know what plans were assigned at the beginning of the week, and what was accomplished at the week's end.
Weekly Planning lets your team focus on the most important tasks while keeping your long term goals in mind. The success of Objectives increases when Weekly Planning is actively used since people will review and update their OKRs more frequently.
Weekly Planning only takes about 10 minutes during the beginning of the week and 10 more at the end to implement. When you first set your OKRs be sure to think of what related initiatives and tasks you need to work on and write them out.
As a rule, try to set between 3-7 plans you need to accomplish every week while keeping your Objectives in mind. As you complete these items, you can share them with your team and update your OKR progress.
It is also an excellent idea to hold a weekly meeting to see where any problems occurred during the week and what you can do next week to fix them. With Weekly Planning, you can get an instant status overview of all the weekly activities planned for your team and quickly identify if any problems occur. Going through the status report during weekly stand-up meetings is also a common way to keep your meetings short and focused on the most important things so you don't waste any time.
It is important to use OKR software that incorporates Weekly Planning into its flow in order to see the most long-term success with OKR. Weekdone is one such system that was designed with both aspects in mind, making OKRs more accessible to both managers and employees. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdEI4eIXhqCi86jw9 | Directed by: Rupert Wyatt
He wrote and directed The Escapist in 08, and Subterrain in 01, but mostly he's an unknown in Hollywood, it's likely this movie will put him on the map.
Notable cast:
James Franco: Willl Rodman
you know him from being James Franco, but if you don't, then he was also in: 127 Hours, which he was nominated for an Oscor for his very fine performance of cutting his own arm off (based on a true story). He was also in all the recent Spider Man movies, Eat Pray Love, Pinnaple Express, Flyboys, but he is probably best known for his role on Freaks and Geeks (I never got into that, but a ton of those actors went on to do very fine things.).
John Lithgow: Will's father, Charles Rodman
you may not know who he is, but he's a fantastic actor and has been in front of the camera for years. He is best known for the TV series 3rd Rock from the Sun, but was also very excellent in Harry and the Hendersons.
You may not know Andy Serkin's name, but you know his work. In this movie, he played the main ape, Caeser, but in Lord of the Rings, you know him as Gollum, he also played his voice.
Tom Felton reprises his role from the Harry Potter series as a super big jerk.
One sentence review, ready? Acting, directing, plot, character development, action, CGI so good you don't even notice, all good, go see it right now.
Multiple sentence review, commence.
You do not have to have seen the original Planet of the Apes movies to enjoy this one. It's fun for the whole family at a PG-13 rating, but a little scary for the little one's probably. I thoroughly enjoyed the fun action stuff that doesn't require high cognitive awareness, but also really enjoyed the sci-fi themes questioning whether or not it's a good idea to be improving our cognitive abilities.
This theme is reminiscent of a few stories, one of them is a short story called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flowers_for_Algernon&;rct=j&q=flowers%20for%20algernon&ei=zbJiTvCYNcbG0AG7psSrCg&usg=AFQjCNHMeij2j6ZAxpEd7fBXhV4MKzMzxA&sig2=8R5I5qAtGNxceAaT8TlMIg&cad=rja">Flowers for Algernon, where a mentally handicapped man's intelligence is increased through a surgical procedure. His intelligence continues to increase even after the procedure, and other complications arise later on.
Another is The Lawn Mower Man, with Pierce Brosnan, based on a short story by Steven King. In it, another man's IQ is increased by science, this time with the use of virtual reality. It all goes to crap when he becomes much smarter and gains psycho kinetic powers and starts lighting people on fire with his mind.
One more movie the sci-fi theme in Rise reminds me of is Awakenings with Robin Williams and Robert De Nero. This one is based on a true story of real people who have a brain disease where they become immobile. William's character experiments with drugs to see if he can wake them up. It works, and they actually wake up out of their coma, but the drug begins to wear off and they need more and more of it to stay awake.
Getting back to the movie I'm ACTUALLY writing about, James Franco's character, Will, has a live in father (played by John Lithgow) with Alzheimer's who is degenerating quickly and is difficult to live with, even though Franco's character loves him a great deal. Will also happens to be a scientist working on a cure for Alzheimer's disease, and is getting very close to human testing, after having testing it on apes and improving their IQ dramatically. I have so many things I want to say about the plot, the interesting turns and themes and problems with improving the IQ of a stronger species capable of using tools and speaking in sign language, but I don't want to ruin it for you.
Let me just say this, not only is this just a good dang fun movie (if you've seen the trailers, then you know what I'm talking about) but this is a perfect example of a GOOD sci-fi flick. It asks the hard questions like, SHOULD we be doing this, not just IF we can (sounds kinda like Jurassic Park actually, thanks Ian).
There are NO actual apes in this movie, all CGI. This was done by the improvements in cinema since Avatar, making it possible for a body actor like Andy Serkis to be wearing those markers all over his body on the suit, and not have to be in the studio, but the camera can still pick up his movements and differentiate between him and the background. This makes for a better movie, just 'cus.
The two big evils in this movie are the money hungry business men (hm...Aliens, Resident Evil, etc...) and, well, jerks. Caesar, the super intelligent ape, would have been fine had it not been for the jerk from Harry Potter (seriously, what jerk).
I recommend seeing this in the theater, if not, rent it, but here's my only thing on that. We need to tell Hollywood what we want to see by spending money on it. Unfortunately, there are a lot of, um, people who are in need of the procedure referred to in this movie that would improve their IQ who spend ALOT of money on movies like Saw 1-18, Final, Final, we get it, we're all gonna die, Final Destination 1-26, and others.
I generally hate prequels, since it usually ruins an other wise fine franchise, especially when George Lucas is involved. However, just like X-Men First Class, or Star Trek, the new, prequel can be really good, and, maybe even better than the original.
Here's where Nate goes off.
I love movies like this when it brings up a big, heady subject like, should we mess with the IQ's of apes or even ourselves? In my opinion, the fear is not the possibility of a race of ape's taking over the world (though, lets not rule that one out entirely, apes are very dangerous, people's faces have literally been torn off by their pet apes...no seriously, I'm not kidding).
But the real fear, in my opinion, is that...there are NO problems with it. That this kind of research IS safe with little or no side effects. Can you think why this might be a problem?
Well, if you can't, let me spell it out for you. If we can increase our intelligence by a pill, or injection, or procedure, who will be able to get it? Everyone? Probably not, that'll be too expensive. And not everyone will want to do it. And if/when this happens, the pharmaceutical and insurance companies will likely be very similar to how they are run now. Which means, only the people with really good jobs will be able to afford improving their IQs and their childrens'.
This is BAD. This will mean that the gap between the rich and the poor will only grow exponentially. Us dumbies will continue to be mediocre at stupid things like taking pictures, making websites, and writing about movies no one cares about, meanwhile, the super rich will be running the world and making boat loads of money off us all because they're all just dang way more smarter than us.
But maybe, by that time, a group of sentient apes will befriend us lower humans and rise up against the proletariat in the French Revolu...ahem, I mean, the Ape/Stupid Revolution. | commoncrawl | 3 | 2 | 4 | 4 |

BkiUdL_xK0zjCrsN_xaW | Does it seem like you can never get rid of your split end problem? Well, part of this because to an extent you never really will. Let me explain.
Most likely, you may have heard of herbal infusions for health purposes. Because of the cancer-fighting properties of many herbs, many people regularly prepare and enjoy herbal concoctions for relaxation and medicinal purposes and also to satisfy their palates. But did you know that herbal infusions can also be used to strengthen and beautify hair?
Does an Itchy Scalp Mean Your Hair is Growing?
Well, it's true that your hair was growing, but an itchy scalp is not a sign of hair growth. Itchiness can actually signify that your scalp is not at its healthiest, which can negatively impact hair growth. Whether it lasts days or weeks, the cause of an itchy scalp can usually be tracked down. You just have to put on your detective hat to figure it out. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbhjxK0wg09lKAvuF | MACHAKOS, Kenya, Mar 28 – A Machakos court has ordered the detention of a 23-year-old man accused of sodomising nine boys at the Martyrs of Uganda Children's home in Machakos County.
David Mutuku Katuku pleaded guilty in the first charge but denied eight more counts when he appeared before a Machakos court.
The prosecution sought orders for the accused to be denied bond arguing that the charges against him are sensitive and he is facing a hostile environment, noting his life will be in danger.
The prosecution also told the court that the conduct of the accused of going into hiding after a warrant of arrest was issued clearly indicates that he is likely to abscond court.
Resident Magistrate Eric Analo directed the prosecution to file a report which is to be presented in court to enable it make an informed ruling whether to allow the accused be released on bond.
The accused was nabbed by detectives while on the run at Muthesya Village in Masinga after the shocking revelations went public.
Reports says that Katuku, a cook, lured the victims with food into the institution's kitchen during lunch hour where the acts happened on condition that it should be kept secret.
A total of 47 children were rescued from the home after the allegations and are at Katoloni Rescue Centre.
The matter was fixed for mention on April 4 at 11am. The accused will remain in police custody. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Not only does Seth MacFarlane spout off the title of his comedy western in the new red band trailer for A Million Ways to Die in the West, but he plays a fun game of shadow puppets with Liam Neeson. If you're not a fan of MacFarlane's previous work with Ted and "Family Guy," then this likely isn't for you, but there hasn't been a comedy like this set in the Old West since Blazing Saddles. However, this is something different entirely, because it's not exactly a spoof as much as it injects contemporary humor into a genuine western setting. It looks hilarious! Watch!

BkiUatzxK4sA-9zR-Sl7 | Feinstein, Boxer Introduce Water in the 21st Century Act
Washington—Senators Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer (both D-Calif.) today introduced the Water in the 21st Century Act, a bill to help communities nationwide better prepare for the future by providing new incentives and investments to help residents, businesses and local water agencies to conserve, recycle and manage limited water supplies.
The legislation would expand rebates and grants for water conservation and efficiency; support local investments in water recycling and improved groundwater management and storage; invest in research into water-saving technologies and desalination; and establish an open water data system. The measure would also help local communities take steps to become better prepared for drought.
"I am pleased to cosponsor the Water in the 21st Century act. It includes practical, effective programs for conservation, recycling, research and water projects that are important elements to help meet California's water challenges," Senator Feinstein said. "This bill complements the Emergency Drought Relief Act – which we are currently negotiating with the House – to help California and the West confront this and future droughts."
"Anyone who knows California knows that we have forever fought about water and it's time to change the story," Senator Boxer said. "We're doing just that with 'W21: Water in the 21st Century,' which will help us prepare for the future by conserving, recycling and better managing our precious water supplies."
The legislation includes a number of important provisions that would help communities in California and across the country:
Efficiency and conservation
Strengthens EPA's WaterSense program, which promotes water conservation in products, buildings, and landscapes through information and rebates. The bill authorizes $50 million to administer the program and $700 million for rebates, through FY2019, and then funds them at FY2019 levels adjusted for inflation thereafter.
Creates a new grant program within the Environmental Protection Agency for local water systems to conserve water, increase water efficiency or reuse water; modify or relocate existing water system infrastructure made or projected to be made inoperable by climate change impacts; preserve or improve water quality, and other projects.
Water recycling, storage, and integrated water management
Leverages federal financing – through loan guarantees and matching grants – to help support projects on a regional scale, including water recycling, ground water management, water storage and water conveyance infrastructure.
$250 million over five years for secured loans.
$150 million for integrated regional water management, reclamation, and recycling projects grants.
Innovation through research, data and technology
Establishes an open water data system at the Department of the Interior.
Reauthorizes the Water Resources Research Act at $9 million a year through 2020.
Reauthorizes the Water Desalination Act at $3 million a year through 2020.
Directs the Secretary of the Army to review reservoir operations and assess whether there is a benefit in adjusting operations to take into account improved forecasting data.
Drought preparedness
Establishes Drought Resilience Guidelines for state and local agencies through EPA in coordination with USDA, Commerce and Interior.
Directs U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in consultation with state and federal agencies, to prepare a salmon drought plan to address the impacts of drought on the salmon population.
The legislation is supported by the Western Recycled Water Coalition, WaterNow, the Clean Water Construction Coalition, the Northern California Water Association, the North Bay Water Reuse Authority and the WateReuse Association. For the text of the legislation, click here.
Senators Feinstein and Boxer have also introduced the California Emergency Drought Relief Act of 2014, an emergency measure that would provide immediate relief to communities that are suffering from the historic drought impacting California and other Western states. | commoncrawl | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUbA_xK3YB9raXx6SW | Major Oil Companies Making Double Profits from Oil Spills
An investigation led by a former Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) engineer and an environmental and civil rights attorney is uncovering evidence that major oil companies are being paid twice for cleaning up toxic oil spills. Multibillion-dollar companies like Chevron, ExxonMobil, and BP are being paid for cleanup efforts with state government funds and again, in secret, by insurance companies, Reuters reports.
Thomas Schruben, a Maryland environmental engineer who was involved in drafting government pollution rules while working for the EPA, had long suspected oil companies of double-dipping when dealing with the cleanup of toxic leaks from underground tanks. Schruben has worked as an environmental engineer for over 30 years, specializing in underground storage tanks.
The EPA has noted that leaking underground storage tanks are one of the greatest threats to the nation's groundwater. Underground storage tanks store "enormous quantities" of petroleum and other toxic substances and are found everywhere, "as close as your nearest gas station." Leaks and spills due to corrosion or other tank failures can contaminate soil and groundwater, which is the source of drinking water for nearly 50 percent of Americans.
The vast majority of states in the country have special funds to cover the costs of replacing old tanks and extracting polluted soil and dirty groundwater. Although oil companies have not claimed any wrongdoing, their scheme essentially allows them to be paid double when they are responsible for a spill or leak.
Schruben, attorney Dennis Pantazis, and a team of lawyers, investigators and experts are conducting an ongoing investigation into the scheme. They have brought around 20 cases to state governments, showing how oil companies have essentially defrauded states by collecting both state special funds and insurance money for the same tank cleanups.
"It appears this was a really common practice and it's very disconcerting," Colorado Attorney General John Suthers told Reuters.
Chevron, for example, was accused of receiving insurance payouts to clean up and monitor a gas leak in Artesia, New Mexico. However, on the application to receive state funding for the cleanup, Chevron indicated that it did not have insurance. "When I first saw these cases, I thought this is kind of incredible," New Mexico assistant Attorney General Seth Cohen, who handled the case, said. "The oil companies have, in effect, profited off polluting."
Just last week, BP was sued by the state of Minnesota for double-dipping into the state's tank cleanup fund. The state alleged that BP violated the Minnesota False Claims Act by fraudulently collecting more than $25 million from its tank fund while being reimbursed by insurers as well. BP has denied any wrongdoing and claims its acquisition of tank funds have been proper.
Reuters found that nine states have won settlements against oil companies, including Chevron, ExxonMobil, and ConocoPhillips, in the past three years. There are currently lawsuits pending in at least seven other states.

BkiUdOc5qoTA-75ci4vm | Ties with Saudis at stake as US releases findings on Khashoggi killing
FILE - In this Oct. 27, 2011 file photo, then U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, right, offers his condolences to then Prince Salman bin Abdel-Aziz upon the death of his brother Saudi Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul-Aziz Al Saud, at Prince Sultan palace in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. President Joe Biden is expected to speak to Saudi King Salman for the first time in Biden's just over a month-old administration. Coming as soon as Thursday, the conversation between the two strategic partners will be overshadowed by the expected release of U.S. intelligence findings on whether the king's son approved the killing of a U.S.-based Saudi journalist. (AP Photo/Hassan Ammar)
The United States has pledged to tell the world its conclusions on what role Saudi Arabia's crown prince played in the brutal killing and dismembering of a U.S.-based journalist, but as important is what comes next — what the Biden administration plans to do about it.
Ahead of the release of the declassified U.S. intelligence report, and announcement of any U.S. punitive measures, President Joe Biden spoke to Saudi King Salman on Thursday for the first time since taking office more than a month ago. It was a later-than-usual courtesy call to the Middle East ally, timing seen as reflecting Biden's displeasure. Still, a White House readout made no mention of the killing or the report.
The conversation was overshadowed by the expected imminent release of findings on whether the king's son approved the Oct. 2, 2018, killing of Jamal Khashoggi, a critic of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's authoritarian consolidation of power, inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. U.S. intelligence agencies concluded in 2018 that the prince likely ordered the killing, a finding reported by news media but never officially released.
The White House said Biden on Thursday discussed with King Salman the two countries' "longstanding partnership" and welcomed the kingdom's recent releases of an advocate for women's rights and some of its other political detainees.
The language came in contrast to Biden's pledge as a candidate to make Saudi Arabia "a pariah" over the killing. The White House offered no immediate explanation for his milder tone with the king.
The kingdom's state-run Saudi Press Agency similarly did not mention Khashoggi's killing in a report about the call between Biden and King Salman, instead focusing on regional issues such as Iran and the ongoing war in Yemen.
The king and Biden stressed "the depth of the relationship between the two countries and the importance of strengthening the partnership between them to serve their interests and achieve security and stability in the region and the world," the report said.
The prince's critics, including a rights group founded by the slain journalist, want him to make good on that pledge with sanctions or other tough actions targeting and isolating the prince. They fear Biden will go with condemnation instead, eschewing a lasting standoff with the likely future ruler of an important, but often difficult, U.S. strategic ally, valued both for its oil reserves and its status as a counterbalance to Iran in the Middle East.
The killing drew bipartisan outrage. Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas said Thursday that he hopes Biden talks to the king "very straight about it, and very emphatically, and says that this is not acceptable." Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia said he understood the administration to be considering new sanctions to accompany release of the report. "So it's a day of reckoning, but one that's long overdue."
The report's findings, and Biden's resulting next steps, at a minimum will set the administration's tone for dealing with the ambitious 35-year-old prince.
Critics blame Mohammed bin Salman for the kingdom's imprisonment and alleged torture of peaceful rights advocates, businesspeople and other royals at home and for launching a devastating war in neighboring Yemen and a failed economic blockade against neighboring Qatar, among other actions.
Mohammed bin Salman has consolidated power rapidly since his father, Salman bin Abdulaziz al Saud, in his 80s, became king in 2015. Salman is one of the last living sons of modern Saudi Arabia's original founder.
Given his age and Saudi royals' longevity, the prince could rule for the next half-century, if he follows his aging father to the throne.
"This was in the span of two or three years — just imagine what will happen in the next 40 years if they allow him to rule," Abdullah al Oudh, a Saudi man who has received asylum in the United States after Saudi Arabia imprisoned al Oudh's father in 2017 over a tweet urging Saudi reconciliation with Qatar, said Thursday.
"This guy ... sees the world as a stage for his botched operations," said Oudh, a Gulf research director for Democracy for the Arab World Now, a rights group Khashoggi founded shortly before his murder.
The Saudi Arabia Embassy spokesman in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday. Saudi officials have said Khashoggi's killing was the work of rogue Saudi security and intelligence officials.
The prince said in 2019 he took "full responsibility" for the killing since it happened on his watch, but denied ordering it.

A court in Saudi Arabia has sentenced five people to death for the killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was murdered in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in October 2018 by a team of Saudi agents. Saudi Arabia's state TV reported Monday, Dec. 23, 2019 that three others were sentenced to prison. All can appeal the verdicts. (AP Photo/Lefteris Pitarakis, File)
U.S. intelligence findings are coming out more than two years after Khashoggi walked hand-in-hand with his fiancee to the Saudi consulate in Turkey. He planned to pick up documents for their wedding.
The errand was recorded by surveillance cameras that tracked his route and those of his alleged killers in Istanbul in the hours leading up to his killing.
Inside the consulate, Khashoggi died at the hands of more than a dozen Saudi security and intelligence officials and others who had assembled ahead of his arrival.
A Turkish bug planted at the embassy reportedly captured the sound of a forensic saw, operated by a Saudi military colonel who was also a forensics expert, dismembering Khashoggi's body within an hour of his entering the building. The whereabouts of his remains remain unknown.
Much of the damage from the killing of Khashoggi, a gregarious and well-regarded Saudi journalist with influential supporters in the United States and around the world, has already been absorbed by the U.S.-Saudi relationship.
Once in office, Biden said he would maintain whatever scale of relations with Saudi Arabia that U.S. interests required. He also ordered an end to U.S. support for the Saudi-led bombing campaign in Yemen and said he would stop the sale of offensive weapons to Saudi Arabia. He's given few details of what weapons and support he meant.
Asked how the release of the findings would affect Biden's approach toward Saudi Arabia, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Thursday that a range of options was on the table.
"There are areas where we will express concerns and leave open the option of accountability," Psaki said. "There are also areas where we will continue to work with Saudi Arabia, given the threats they face in the region."
Congress in 2019 demanded the release of the report's findings, but the Trump administration refused. The Biden administration agreed to release a declassified version.
Saudi Arabian courts last year announced they had sentenced eight Saudi nationals to prison in Khashoggi's killing. They were not identified.

A: edited to top-link a solution - see https://medium.com/javascript-everyday/when-to-use-an-attribute-selector-for-angular-components-7e788ba1bfe7
While I completely understand Kuldeeps suggestions and agree many of them I disagree with his final outcome.
I also have the problem you seem to have.
I want to write good clean html5 with good semantic markup, and no extra tags.
Your code should be able to generate...
<article class="publication">
<header>
<h1>Publication Title</h1>
</header>
</article>
(although your use of header is - I think - incorrect - it's for the page, not an article - but I'm not an expert)
I'm not aware of any way in angular to do this - I found your question while searching for an answer to the same.
I wonder if using an attribute mapping for the component might allow it, so you could use...
<article app-publication>
and
<header app-publication-header>
and have them picked up as components as if you'd used
<app-publication>
and
<app-publication-header>
It looks like this is done by setting your selector to be attribute based.
So instead of
selector: "app-publication",
which looks for
<app-publication>
you use
selector: "[app-publication]",
which looks for
<{anytag} app-publication>
I'm about to go try to see if you can do
selector: "article [app-publication]",
to limit it to only applying on articles.
Please reply if you found any better solutions - you are trying to use html5 correctly so don't be put off if angular limits you.
A: I strongly recommend you to write your code in such a way that it is very readable and manintainable
You have to make sure you don't pollute your html.
You should always components based structure to make your code loosely coupled. So as to reuse it if necessary.
All the classes and styling should be private to component.
For using nested styling, use decorator pattern, so that the component remains configurable.
I would suggest you to use code like below,
<app-publication>
<app-publication-header>
<app-publication-title>Publication Title</app-publication-title>
</app-publication-header>
</app-publication>

BkiUaxs25V5hZMvJmz4g | A Honda generator broken down to its component parts is an engine and an alternator to convert power from the Honda engine into electricity. The quality of Honda's engines is only matched by the quality of the alternator components in Honda generators.
Honda produces two distinct types of generators which to the first time customer can be confusing. There is the conventional Honda generator and the Honda Inverter Series generator.
The conventional Honda generator operates with copper coils to generate electricity. The Honda engine spins the alternator at a constant speed to produce AC power. It is spinning at top speed regardless of the load on the Honda generator. Of course, this consumes more fuel and makes more noise, leading to increased pollution (both noise and environmental).
The other issue is that the conventional Honda generator does not produce the cleanest type of power. Although they are excellent for the job sites and tools, the conventional Honda generator is not recommended for power sensitive electronics such as laptops, stereos and televisions. That is where the Honda Inverter Series generator comes in as the ideal solution.
The Honda Inverter Series generators use a different type of alternator to more cleanly convert the engine power into AC power, which can be used for power sensitive electronics, such as laptops, stereos and televisions.
The Honda Inverter Series generators are also smaller and lighter and do not have to run at the same constant engine speed to save money on fuel and reduce both the noise pollution and environmental pollution.
Our Honda Inverter Series generators are very popular with Canadian RVers and we have seen a recent spike (no pun intended) in sales of the Honda Inverter Series generators as they present the best solution for today's technologically demanding RVer.
In conclusion, alpinelawn.com will try and help you decide which Honda generator is right for you. Whatever the size of your appliances, buying a Honda generator that's large enough and has enough power to handle the job will make sure you have enough power on hand when you need it most. Check us out at alpinelawn.com or drop in and see us at our Toronto location @ 2921 Kennedy Road, Toronto for a no obligation, no hassle demonstration of all these Honda generators to see them in action.

BkiUbRc25V5hdn6rP6_x | I don't normally do posts dedicated to parenting or my son on this blog. (I have a whole other blog dedicated to that...) I can't help it though. He is my favorite little guy and his presence in my life is the biggest blessing I have ever received. Gabriel is the absolute light of my life (not to diminish the light and love that my husband brings into my life, because he is absolutely amazing!). A mother's love for her child is like no other thing on this planet. It is almost tangible.
I am incredibly happy to be a mother. Even more so to be a mother to a son. And even more so to be MY SON'S mother. He is such a funny, adorable, interesting person. Like most parents, I love to just sit and watch him....just to see what he will do. This only works for a small period of time before they realize that you're watching them and then they either stop acting natural, or they want to involve you in whatever they're doing.
One day, McKay and I took Gabriel to the park near our house. Gabe LOVES to be outside. We set him down and just let him wander. I decided to follow him with my phone and these are the pictures of his little boy adventure.
And, of course, the journey ended with Dad. Gabriel is always down for some guy time.
I really just can't imagine my life without my little squirt running around acting crazy and making messes. I don't even want to.
I keep seeing this quote and I can't help but agree whole-heartedly: "Having a child is to forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."
He is my heart. My joy. My life.

BkiUd6LxK1yAgWt7-8a3 | About 60 people in the West Coast Swing class Saturday morning at the Monterey Hyatt Regency Hotel & Spa. They followed the direction of instructor Yvonne Wayne.
Wayne and her husband Jason were teaching an intermediate class at the 25th annual Monterey Swingfest. The four-day event concludes Sunday. As many as 1,000 people attended the festival.
Some of the top instructors in the U.S. came to teach the dance, which was declared California's official state dance in 1988 by the state legislature. The dance form came out of the 1930s and has spread around the world. It draws a wide arc of participants, from children to seniors.
Swingfest, started by John Wheaton of Santa Maria, is the longest, continuously running event at the Hyatt. Jeanne Jackson of Prescott, Arizona, is the event coordinator. She said Swingfest has been successful because Wheaton gives attendees what they want.
That includes bringing in top instructors and building a lot of social dance time into the festival, Jackson said.
It's not as easy as it looks. There are set patterns beginners must learn, then more sophisticated moves are added.
At Saturday's intermediate class in the main ballroom, attendees learned how to do the sugar push, with a few added moves. They appeared to pick the moves up fairly quickly.
Swingfest attracts people from across the U.S. and from as far away as Europe. Leah Lawrence, a project manager from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was attending for the first time. She's been swing dancing for about three years.
What does she like most about West Coast Swing?
"I think I enjoy being able to connect with my partner and create something through music," Lawrence said.
Lisa Sandoval and Angela Canham of Palmdale came to Swingfest with their sons: Christopher Moss, 13, and Cory Sandoval, 14. The women run a nonprofit youth ballroom dance program in Palmdale called Dance Force. The program also offers swing dancing.
Most of the competition is done in Jack & Jill format. Couples sign up as individuals and are then matched up. The competitions are meant to test social dance skills, while fixed partner competitions test performance dance skills.
The Jack & Jill format was created by Jack Carey at Hank & Stans in Norwalk in the early 1950s to encourage a variety of dancers to enter competitions.
There will be more classes offered Sunday, and open dancing will last from 6 p.m. to dawn. The dance competition finals (novice, intermediate, masters and Jack & Jill) begin at 1 p.m. The advanced championships (all stars Jack & Jill) will begin at 3 p.m. Awards will be presented at 5 p.m. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbdLxaKPQokFda9Ms | BRIAN STELTER (HOST) And there's another version of access we should talk about as well. The president's lack of interviews. This was a notable weekend because it's been one full year since [NBC's] Lester Holt's interview with the president. We can show the video from that. Ever since then, well, you see here, zero interviews for ABC, CBS, NBC, or CNN. And the president has called into Fox a couple times since the beginning of this year 2018. But it's been 12 full months since we had one of these sit-downs, in-depth, TV interviews. Really a remarkable drought that we're going through. And April, I guess the reason is, his aides and lawyers don't trust him not to slip up and give [special counsel] Robert Mueller more ammunition. Is that the belief there?
APRIL RYAN (CNN POLITICAL ANALYST, AMERICAN URBAN RADIO NETWORKS): Yes, this president definitely hurts his own self. He gets comfortable and just lets loose, for better or for worse. But not only has he not given a news interview in a year to any other major news organization other than Fox, he hasn't had a full-blown press conference since that February when he said that his administration was a well-oiled machine. But we're seeing all the cogs fly out. And this is one of the examples of the cogs just flying out. This president is a president of all America, and one great thing about it is different news organizations may come at stories differently. And I've been asking for an interview myself and I'm still making that request, no matter what happens in that White House. Everyone has a different take on a different issue. And if you just give an interview to Fox, considered conservative, what about if you gave -- give -- don't give it to someone else who may be considered another -- has another political view, but yet still people of America watch that network? He is not giving a broad spectrum, a broad scope to all America, just by giving it to Fox, it's one-sided. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

*create a byte[] large enough (either estimate it or calculate by adding the sizes)
*loop through the values, using System.arraycopy for each.
*If the array was to long, use Arrays.copyOf to shorten it.
*
*
*Create a ByteArrayOutputStream
*loop through the values, write each byte[] to the stream.
*get the array.
By the way, if your CommonEnum values are always of the same order (and you can use this order as the order in the enum definition), you can use an EnumMap instead.
A: I'm a fan of ByteArrayOutputStream -- you could iterate through the entries in the map, and for each Byte[] value, iterate through the members, write()ing them to the stream. Then call toByteArray() at the end to get the flat version.
A: Depending on the number of elements and the size, the fastest way might be to first calculate the total length, create a new byte array, and copy the values using System.arraycopy. However, using ByteArrayOutputStream is also good.

BkiUdhHxK2li-LM1R1Zk | Marla Krolikowskii, 60, was fired after 32 years of teaching at St. Francis Catholic high school in Queens.
She was summarily dismissed after coming out as transgender to school officials.
St. Francis Prep Attorney Phil Semprevivo claimed in court "She was fired for appropriate non-discriminatory reasons. She was insubordinate" asking that the judge dismiss her lawsuit.
The judge did not buy it.
"Insubordination after 32 years of teaching? And the insubordination seems to coincide with the expression of being transgender?" Judge Hart said.
Judge Hart then rejected a separate motion by the school that Krolikowski's was essentially a minister, and that religious institutions have the right to hire and fire those employees without court interference. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUdsY4uzlh5XI9oBZ6 | Cindy Hurtado, vice-president of BioS was just given the "Carlos Ponce Award" in the category of young outstanding professional. She obtained this award because of her work towards research and conservation of mammals. She stood out among the other nominees for her tangible efforts to raise awareness about the importance of the Pacific Forest through her project "Meet the Pacific tropical rainforest". Also, she has publications describing the mammal community of this forest with emphasis on threatened species.
Her efforts are now focused on the dry forest of Peru, where she recorded for the first time three species of major mammals in the Cerros de Amotape National Park in Tumbes. Currently, she will develop her doctoral thesis (at the University of British Columbia) evaluating the connectivity of the Protected Natural Areas of the dry forest of Peru and Ecuador. Congratulations Cindy!
Cindy M. Hurtado is the first author of the most recent publication from BioS: An updated analysis of the distribution of CITES-listed Peruvian carnivores for conservation priorities, published in Mastozoologia Neotropical journal.
This article presents historic and contemporary records of 22 species of carnivores. Also, it identifies several localities for priority research.
We are really proud to see the photograph taken by one of our members, Cindy M. Hurtado, in the front page of the second 2016 volume of the Revista Peruana de Biologia journal. This photograph shows the Ecuadorian White-fronted capuchin monkey Cebus albifrons aequatorialis.

'Cobra Kai' Ending With Season 6: Netflix Promises 'Biggest' & 'Baddest' Final Chapter (VIDEO)
'The Crown,' 'Stranger Things' & More of Netflix's Best Shows in 2022
YouTube Premium's Cobra Kai may include original Karate Kid stars Ralph Macchio and William Zabka returning as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence, but there are even more nods to the original film than you might realize.
As the show prepares for a special limited collector's edition DVD release, which includes a double-sided headband, TV Insider has an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at one major Easter Egg.
For anyone familiar with the original 1984 film, they'll recall the famous scene between Daniel and Mr. Miyagi (Pat Morita) in which the mentor has his student learn a lesson by means of "wax on, wax off."
Well, in the clip above, you'll see that the YouTube Premium show is honoring the Karate Kid by using the 1948 Ford Super Deluxe from the actual film. "Ralph actually got to keep Miyagi's truck," star Jacob Bertrand reveals in the featurette.
"That's the original car from the movie," adds executive producer Josh Heald . "It was gifted to Ralph after the movies and it was loaned to us for production."
(Credit: YouTube)
As the clip continues, stars Tanner Buchanan and Mary Mouser recount their experiences in the iconic vehicle and tease more behind-the-scenes moments. Check it out above and pick up the special limited collector's edition DVD on November 12.

BkiUdg3xK4tBViZLFyme | Q: Vue js vuelidate cannot read custom validation inside the dynamic validation schema
I have this UI. If user check the All dates it will set the Boolean variable is_all_dates to true.So that means user don't care a date range he/she wants all the data without filter it by a date range.
On the other hand if user doesn't check the All dates I need to validate 3 things.
*
*He/she enter a from date (required)
*He/she enter a to date (required)
*From date < To date (custom validator)
For achieve this requirement I use dynamic validation schema.
I only need validate if All dates is equals to false. otherwise I don't need validations at all.
validations() {
if (!this.is_all_dates) {
return {
from: {
required
},
to: {
required,
date_greather_than
}
};
}
},
I declare my date_greather_than validation like this.
<script>
const date_greather_than = (value, vm) => {
let from = new Date(vm.from);
let to = new Date(value);
return from < to;
};
export defaults:{
validations(){},
data(){return{}}
}
</script>
But the problem is I got an error
TypeError: Cannot read property 'date_greather_than' of undefined
My custom validator is not recognize inside the validations() function
I can use the keyword this like this. It's syntax error.
to: {
required,
this.date_greather_than
}
A: I found the answer. The problem here was I only specify the if part only. By specifying both if part and else part my code works as expected.
validations() {
if (this.is_limit_by_range) {
return {
to: { required, date_greather_than },
from: { required },
status: { required }
};
} else {
return {
status: { required }
};
}

BkiUfR05qhLBkuIjTkEs | In celebration of International Women's Day, we're talking to a few of the women of Unacast about how they got into the industry, who inspires them the most, and the best advice they've ever gotten.
Want to know more about how we're working to close the gender gap in tech? You can read about it here, and check out our Diversity Dashboard here.
Linn: We got a PC at home when I was nine and I was hooked from the beginning. I loved creating webpages and simple games and since I also loved maths and science in school I never considered anything else than a technical degree. And thanks to the women who have paved the way in the '70s and later, I can honestly say that my gender has never been a disadvantage for me anytime in my career. Rather the opposite.
Julie: I guess one can say I've been a computer geek most of my life. I started gaming at an early age and was always interested in computers. My favorite school subject was math and IT. That's how I become to study computer science.
Cindy: I trust data. It leaves little guessing when proving things out. It's tangible, real, justifiable information that powers all industries and types of jobs.
Mathilde: Physics and maths were my favorite subjects in school, so I knew I wanted to study engineering. During my studies in physics I got a summer internship at an IT consulting company even though I didn't know much about programming at that time. The learning curve was very steep, but thinking of all the possibilities you have when you know how to code was really motivating. So when I was offered a job at the same company, I accepted it straight away.
Rachel: I studied English and creative writing in school, so a career in tech wasn't on my radar until I made a move into marketing technology from advertising a few years ago. The pace of innovation is incredible, and now I'm pretty sure I would be bored anywhere else.
Which woman has inspired you the most in your life?
Linn: It may sound cliché, but I would say my mother. She has a academic background, started her own business and always was always very independent. In my professional life through university and work, all of my professors and bosses - and most of my peers - have been men. Fortunately, so many of them have consistently encouraged and promoted women, so while my mother is my greatest inspiration, I also want to recognize the strong male role models in my working life who have supported me.
Cindy: My Mom! She grew up a farm girl in Guyana. Had 4 kids while getting a bachelor's & master's degree with 3.9 GPA, working 2 jobs. It inspires me because I know the amount of resources I have now means I can do what she did, but it'll be way easier on me.
Mathilde: My mom. She was one of very few women who studied engineering in her time and she has always been very passionate about her work.
Rachel: My mother has always been a huge inspiration - she taught me to stand up for myself and trust my gut. I've also been fortunate to meet so many driven, successful women in my professional life. Seeing their achievements inspires me to keep pushing toward my own goals.
What's the one piece of advice you would give young women going into technology today?
Linn: Be opportunistic and embrace new opportunities and challenges. Don't underestimate yourself, even if everyone else seem very impressive, they have weak spots too!
Rachel: First, be open-minded. There are so many career paths within this field! Second, believe in what you have to offer, and don't be afraid to stand your ground and be confident. Sometimes you may have to fight to be heard, but the fight is worth it.
Linn: To really identify what is important to me and pick my battles.
Rachel: Never be afraid to ask. Ask for the opportunity, ask for a coffee meeting with someone you admire, ask for help, ask for what you need to succeed. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUeMw4eIOjRwCobnWh | Navarro: Homer, Dallas are the leaders Hurricanes' offense needs to get past Thomas fiasco
By Manny Navarro Nov 26, 2018 3
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — One silently leads by example, is 31 yards shy of his first 1,000-yard rushing season and 21 yards short of becoming the 11th running back in Miami Hurricanes history to eclipse 2,000 career rushing yards.
The other taunts opposing crowds on the road, pushes the sled after practice with the offensive line when they get in trouble, and went to see a sports psychologist recently to overcome a rare case of fumblitis.
Travis Homer and DeeJay Dallas were by no means perfect this season. But their performance in Saturday's win over Pittsburgh was another reminder things could have been a lot worse had the Miami Hurricanes not had them around.
Together on Saturday they more than made up for the sudden loss of leading receiver Jeff Thomas, who parted ways with the team last Wednesday.
Homer, a 5-11, 205-pound junior, became only the 10th FBS running back since 2000 to run for 165 yards or more on fewer than eight... | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

The attorney-author of this blog, Michael Brown, and co-counsel colleagues have represented underpaid H-1B workers with a number of legal cases across the U.S., including a class action case pending in the Southern District of Indiana federal court.
This federal class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of a proposed class of H-1B workers against Access Therapies, Inc., RN Staff Inc. d/b/a Rehability Care, and an associated representative of the companies. The lawsuit alleges that Access Therapies and related entities systematically "bench" and underpay H-1B workers (and force workers to pay visa fees) as part of a scheme that violates civil laws including wage laws, contract law, and the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).

BkiUenfxK7Tt6AlxFIW5 | Arctic winds chill the South, threaten Fla. strawberry, tomato crops; blanket East in snow
By Jeffrey Collins, AP
Fla. farmers scramble to save crops from cold
COLUMBIA, S.C. — Subfreezing temperatures across the South have Florida farmers worried that strawberry, tomato and other crops could be destroyed, with temperatures in even usually balmy Miami only in the 50s on Tuesday.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist signed an executive order that gives the state's Division of Emergency Management and other agencies the authority to provide growers with assistance. Throughout central and south Florida, farmers are trying to salvage millions of dollars worth of citrus and vegetable crops, spraying them in protective layers of ice and covering them in plastic.
"The problem now is that we have a weeklong freeze predicted," said Ted Campbell, executive director for the Florida Strawberry Growers Association. "It's an endurance test."
Forecasters say the Southern deep freeze will last through the weekend, likely breaking records for continuous cold temperatures in many parts of Florida and elsewhere.
The eastern U.S. was not only dealing with subfreezing temperatures, but parts of New England were under record snowfall. In Burlington, a storm dumped more than 33 inches, breaking a single-storm record of nearly 30 inches set in 1969.
In northeast Ohio, forecasters say snow will continue to fall in areas that already have 2 feet or more on the ground. The National Weather Service said areas in the region's "snow belt" could receive up to 8 more inches of lake-effect snow on Tuesday.
Four deaths were blamed on the cold in Tennessee.
The duration of the cold snap is unusual, especially in the South, where the weather is typically chilly for just a day or two before temperatures rebound into the 50s.
Waves of Arctic air pushed into central Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle. Many Southern homes aren't built to handle that type of cold, with uninsulated pipes and heat pumps that will have to run all the time just to keep things barely comfortable.
In Miami, the game-time temperature for the Orange Bowl between Georgia Tech and Iowa was 49 degrees, which FOX-TV announcers said was a record for the annual college football game that started in 1935.
Miami Meteorologist Dan Dixon said Miami, Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach were expected to approach or set record-low overnight temperatures Wednesday morning.
Vacationing college students from Ohio, Tara McCourry and Stephen McFarren, walked hand-in-hand along picturesque Pensacola Beach Tuesday, one of the few people braving the 27-degree wind chill. The couple watched pelicans, admired seashells and adjusted their hats and gloves as they buffered themselves against the wind.
"This is my first time in Florida and Florida is not supposed to be cold like this," McCourry said.
Charleston, S.C., was expecting subfreezing overnight lows all week. Parts of West Virginia could see 4 to 8 inches of snow by Wednesday morning. A dusting of snow fell in western and central Kentucky overnight, heralding 3 to 5 inches expected in those areas, with some locally heavier amounts.
Searchers in Wisconsin found the body of a 7-year-old boy who fell through ice into a river while sledding with friends Monday.
The weather caused hundreds of school closings and delays in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, the North Carolina mountains and elsewhere.
Wrecks on icy roads killed at least two other people.
Homeless shelters, especially in the Southeast, braced for a crush of people and said they would not turn anyone away.
Reginald Richardson of Columbia hates shelters but said this might be the week he caves in and spends a few nights.
"Yes, Lord, it has been cold," said the 55-year-old, who has been homeless on and off for the past 25 years. "It got so cold last night, I thought about sleeping in a trash can."
Contributing to this report were David Dishneau in Hagerstown, Md.; John Curran in Montpelier, Vt.; Tamara Lush in Tampa, Fla.; and John Raby in Charleston, W.Va.

BkiUdsg5qoTDtsJtAyhl | It's that time again! VEGFEST TIME!
I've talked about my love of VegFest just once or twice (or 22 times…) before, it's something I look forward to every year, and love going to both the London and Brighton events.
Remember the 'cheese' I tried in Brighton? Oh my.
And the 'egg mayo' and coleslaw?! So good. I can't wait to pick up a few more tubs in London.
THESE DONUTS AND CREAM BUNS AND CHOCOLATE TWISTS.
If you love the sound of all that, you're going to have to go to experience it for yourself. Because it's even better than you can imagine.
Tickets are currently Buy One Get One Free (gotta love a bargain!) with the idea of bringing a non-vegan friend and introducing them to the wonderful world of vegan food. Or you could bring a fellow vegan to try new brands and products. Or you could both be non-vegan, and fancy giving it a go together. Whatever which way, VegFest London is always a super fun event.
Enter my VegFest Rafflecopter giveaway!
This competition is open to UK residents only and will end at midnight on Saturday 22nd August 2015. I'll contact the winner by email shortly afterwards. If you don't respond within five days, I will unfortunately have to pick another winner. Good luck!
Would to take my boyfriend, might inspire him to be more creative in the kitchen!
Ah I already have tickets for the London event, otherwise I would've entered. SO excited to be going!
My son. He's been a veggie since birth. I think he'd enjoy seeing all the food on offer.
Hello :) I first found out about VegFest thanks to you and this blog! I've been twice and both times were absolutely great, actually this year in Brighton was a truly great day as I decided to pursue a career in environmental sustainability. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 3 | 1 |
BkiUf-_xK1yAgYaM5HXJ | Weigh out 12.5g of coffee using your digital scales.
Put the plunger into your tube and invert the two. If you'd like to pre-heat now's the time!
Weigh your coffee into the inverted AeroPress. As a base recipe we're looking for 12.5g.
Pour 210g of 95 degrees water into your inverted tube, making sure all the coffee is evenly saturated. This should take 15 seconds or so.
Give the coffee a vigorous stir.
Screw the cap on and play the waiting game until 1.45 seconds.
Place the cup (and hand) on the bottom of the AeroPress & flip over.
Push down using gentle pressure while saying "One elephant, two Elephants"…. Until there are say 30 Elephants in the room. Aiming for a finish time of 2 min 15 seconds.
NB: Everyone's got their own way to brew, so play around a little. If you like your brew stronger, try grinding a bit finer or brewing for slightly longer before adding more coffee. For those seeking less acidity, espresso roast coffee will deliver a more 'traditional' cup profile. If you want to get real clever try some 'third wave water' like our Owner Dion likes to use! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdag4uzki04H6kFaB | In October 2012, Ffotogallery and bildkultur jointly presented the exhibition Helen Sear: Beyond the View at bildkultur Stuttgart.
In October 2012, Ffotogallery and bildkultur jointly presented the exhibition Helen Sear: Beyond the View at bildkultur Stuttgart. This exhibition brought together works reflecting the artist's exploration of the relationship between colour and form, figure and ground, the visible and the unseen.
David Drake: "The eye and its surrogate the camera lens are recurrent motifs in Helen Sear's work, both as a means for fine demarcation of the forms, patterns and textures of the exterior world and as a portal to the interior realm of dreams and mystery. Sear's work challenges the dominant view of photography as a documentary medium, questioning its indexical relationship with the world. Photography, whether in its analogue or digital form, may enable us to view up close the surface details of objects, but in doing so our perceptual experience of them becomes more ambiguous and fragmented, belying their apparent unity and coherence. Therein lies the paradoxical nature of visual perception, in particular, and our sensory experience and apprehension of the world more generally." | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

Strauss\nMarch 25, 2019 10:33 am ET\nPhotograph by Johannes Plenio\nDividend stocks should get a near-term boost from interest rates staying in a trading range, says Chris Senyek, chief investment strategist at Wolfe Research.\nIn a note dated Monday, Senyek asserted that \"longer-term rates are likely to remain range bound\" for now.\nThat includes the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note, a widely followed proxy for interest-rate movements.\nThese 6 Mid-Cap Stocks With Sustainable Dividends Look Inviting\nRaytheon and Williams-Sonoma Boost Their Dividends\nThe Yield Curve Just Inverted. That's Not as Scary as You Think.\nOn Monday the 10-year note was yielding 2.44%. Since the end of 2018 it has mostly traded between 2.4% and 2.7%. And the yield has dropped significantly since last November when it was north of 3.2%. Concerned about economic growth, many investors have poured into Treasuries. (Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.)\nLate last week, the yield curve inverted, meaning that the yield on the 10-year note was lower than three-month and one-year yields. The inversion of the yield curve has long been seen as a sign that a recession is on its way.\nBut the good news for dividend stocks is lower bond yields mean less competition.\nThe ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF (ticker: NOBL) has returned about 9.6% year to date, trailing the S&P 500's result of 12.3%. These stocks have had annual dividend increases for at least 25 straight years.\nSenyek, however, doesn't see this tailwind lasting that long. He expects longer-term rates to \"increase around the globe in the second half of the year on the back of a U.S.-China trade deal and as Chinese policymakers' stimulus measures begin to take hold.\"\nHigher rates would put more pressure on dividend stocks.\nAs for dividend investing strategies, Wolfe Research maintains that a smart investment strategy combines stocks with high dividend growth and high free cash flow yields. Among the stocks that meet these criteria are Morgan Stanley (MS), Citigroup (C), Synchrony Financial (SYF), AbbVie (ABBV), Lam Research (LRCX), KLA-Tencor (KLAC), and Starbucks (SBUX).\nWrite to Lawrence C.

BkiUc2o5qdmC8Q-W6w0U | Contact with Los Pozitos was maintained throughout the following two years, and the Fund was able to deliver donations of musical instruments, books, toys and small amounts of money from High Street School in Plymouth to the people of Los Pozitos. Although the £290 worth of dollars that the Fund delivered to the committee of parents in Los Pozitos is pitifully small in aid terms, for the little school with only one teacher, such a sum is enormous and the community is able to make more use of it than we could ever imagine. The Nicaraguan Ministry of Education used to pay the salary of Melvin, the one qualified teacher, but the school received nothing else from the state for materials or expenses.
I applied for a sabbatical in December 2002 and was lucky enough to be awarded this opportunity. The sabbatical scheme was offered to schools in challenging areas, with a high level of deprivation, such as High Street School in Stonehouse, Plymouth, where I teach. The time taken could be up to six weeks and how the money was spent was very flexible. The main criteria were that it should have some benefit to the teacher, pupils and school. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdvk4dbghezubFRvm | Heathcotes Group enjoyed an overwhelming response as a sponsor appearing at the 2018 Transition Event, a conference dedicated to the future of young people with disabilities and associated needs.
Held last week at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry, a full day of conference and interactive workshops discussed the various challenges involved in planning and assisting the transition into adult life. Specialising in person-centred residential care for people with learning disabilities and mental illness, Heathcotes Group was one of a variety of organisations providing expert guidance on key issues such as education, health and care plans, social services, employment and housing. The event attracted an extremely high attendance from care practitioners, parents and young people.
"The high footfall at this year's Transition Event certainly reflects the value of gathering a comprehensive range of expertise in one place as a collective resource. Enabling the transition to a more independent life involves many considerations, from finding suitable education and employment to ensuring that care plans are transferred at age 18. Addressing these challenges can be daunting and many visitors have welcomed the opportunity to receive vital guidance on all areas of planning.
Heathcotes Group has been a trusted partner to over 50 local authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups since 2004. Last year the company helped a total of 25 service users to achieve a transition into more independent living. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUay3xK0zjCxN_rAlc | SACRAMENTO, Calif. - Sacramento Republic FC announced today the signing of defender Jordan McCrary to a USL Championship contract for the 2019 season with a club option for 2020, pending league and federation approval.
"Jordan is a welcome addition to our backline with his versatility, especially at left back," said Republic FC General Manager Todd Dunivant. "We value his national championship-winning pedigree, as well as his MLS experience, including the Concacaf Champions League and playoffs. Jordan brings a lot to the table and we look forward to his integration into the team."
McCrary joins Republic FC after spending the 2018 season with Major League Soccer's Seattle Sounders FC. The fullback, who can play on either wing, made 20 appearances for Sounders FC across all competitions last season, including league play, MLS Cup playoffs and the Concacaf Champions League. McCrary also made four appearances for their USL affiliate, Sounders FC 2 in 2018, including their September 2018 match against Republic FC at Papa Murphy's Park.
Prior to his arrival in Seattle, McCrary spent the 2017 season with Toronto FC II, playing alongside current Republic FC defender Mitchell Taintor. McCrary started 19 of his 27 appearances for the Canadian side, tallying two assists in that span.
Born in Alpharetta, Georgia, McCrary attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where he helped the Tar Heels to an NCAA College Cup during his freshman year. He was the 10th overall selection in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft by the New England Revolution, appearing in two Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup matches for the club, in addition to one game with the Revolution's USL affiliate, the Rochester Rhinos.
Republic continue their 2019 season this Sunday, March 24, at home against OKC Energy FC. Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. and tickets to the match are available via Ticketmaster.com and the official Republic FC app.

BkiUdVQ5qX_AY1mDIe-a | Q: Comparing "better" and "best"
Possible Duplicate:
Use of the superlative when only two items are present
Is the word better used in comparing two things, or do you use the word best?
Example used in a conversation:
A: Is there any way to get over the anxiety?
B: Drink a shit ton of alcohol or caffeine.
A: I like the first suggestion better/best.
Are they both correct to say?
A: Usually, when there are two options, one of them is better than the other. If there are multiple options, you can choose the best among them. I think the underlying reason for this is that when there are only two options, the better of them is also the best.
Who's better at math: Beth or Seth? Seth's better. He's the best in class.
I think this is true for all adjectives. Imagine there are two boxes. Someone asks you which one you want. You say:
I want the larger one.
On the other hand, if there were 10 boxes, you could say
I want the largest one.
Although technically you could say I want the largest one in the first scenario, don't be surprised if the other person starts looking around to see if there aren't any other boxes apart from these two.
A: When you use best, you say it in absolute terms. While better is used in relative terms.
When something is best, its position is uncontested. While better suggests 'compared to others, this is one is good'
A: "Better" is a comparative, i.e. it is a relationship between two things. "Best" is a superlative, i.e. it states the position of this one thing compared to all the other things under discussion.
If I have three choices, A, B, and C, all the following statements could be true: A is better than B. B is better than C. A is better than C. A is the best. If one thing is better than another, others could be better still. But if one thing is the best, than nothing can be better.
Note: The above assumes that "better" is a rating on some sort of scale. Of course A might be better than B in some contexts but not as good in others, for example an orange is better than a flashlight if I'm hungry but the flashlight is better if I'm stumbling in the dark. And one can imagine relationships like rock/paper/scissors where there is no best, just pairs of non-transitive relationships.

BY ARIZONA SPORTS
The Arizona Cardinals on Monday placed a transition tag on Kenyan Drake, giving them the option to match a contract another team offers the running back who starred for Arizona in the back-half of 2019.
The transition tag is a one-year tender that is set at a fixed amount based on the past market. That amount for a running back is set at $8.5 million after the new CBA was approved on Saturday, and that dips into Arizona's leftover cap space.
The Cardinals will not be awarded compensation if Drake leaves for another team after it chooses not to match an offer. Drake can work out a long-term deal with Arizona or another team and has until July 22 to do so.
Arizona had until 8:59:59 a.m. on Monday to tag Drake and cannot tag another player.
Drake, 25, was acquired the day after a Week 8 loss to the New Orleans Saints in exchange for a conditional fifth- or sixth-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. At the time, the Cardinals were desperate for healthy bodies at running back with Chase Edmonds, David Johnson and D.J. Foster injured.
Reports: Cards get DeAndre Hopkins, trade David Johnson to Texans
David Johnson, players, fans react to Cardinals' trade for DeAndre Hopkins
Rapid reaction: Cardinals agree to acquire DeAndre Hopkins
Arizona signed Alfred Morris and Zach Zenner to join Drake in the backfield, but it was all Drake in Week 9 against the San Francisco 49ers, as he rushed 15 times for 110 yards and a touchdown while also catching four balls for 52 yards.
It was Drake's job from there. Even as Edmonds and Johnson returned from injuries, Drake dominated the touches. He had 79 in the last four games, far more than the other two combined.
Drake led the team in rushing with 643 yards on the ground and eight touchdowns, adding 28 catches for 171 yards as a receiver. His 123 carries were the most on the team and he was fifth in receptions.
"I thought he made big steps," head coach Kliff Kingsbury said of Drake a day after the season finale. "I think with an entire offseason in our system, he has a chance to really, really take off."
Drake teased his extension on Feb. 10, when he posted an image of himself wearing a Cardinals jersey and beanie with the comment, "#NewProfilePic" to his Twitter account.

Drake spent his previous three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, who selected him in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Counting the six games he played in 2019, Drake's three-plus years with Miami amounted to 1,532 rushing yards and nine touchdowns.
Cardinals general manager Steve Keim told Doug & Wolf on 98.7 FM Arizona's Sports Station on Nov. 1 that the team had internal discussions about signing Drake next offseason. Those talks were prior to any trade considerations, Keim said.
"We did our homework on him and more than anything, I think organizationally we felt like he was the perfect fit for this scheme, a guy who could get isolated in space, had tremendous footspeed, straight line explosiveness, caught the ball extremely well out of the backfield," Keim said.
On Dec. 20, the general manager said he would "love" to re-sign Drake and insinuated he'd like to get a deal done before free agency begins with the start of the new league year in March.
The return of Drake to Arizona would add even more questions to the future of David Johnson, who quickly faded to the background of the Cardinals' long-term picture after his below average play and the emergence of Drake.
General manager Steve Keim said in February that Johnson would not be cut.
Johnson, a First Team All-Pro in 2016, had 94 carries for 345 yards with two touchdowns last season. He makes a base salary of $10.2 million in 2020, and $2.1 million of his $7.95 million salary for 2021 fully guarantees on March 20, per Spotrac.
If Drake were to be the Cardinals' leading rusher next year for the second straight season, he would be the first Cardinals running back to do so since Edgerrin James topped the team for three seasons in a row from 2006-08.
