BkiUeV44eIOjSMCf8kaq | If you're a family on a budget, it can be tough to find cheap family activities everyone can enjoy. How do you please everyone and keep the costs manageable?
Here are some ideas for creative, fun, and cheap family activities that will keep your kids entertained without breaking the bank.
One of my favorite childhood memories is a day my entire family spent at a local park. It was a park that we didn't go to very often, which I guess made it more special because the playground was new and different from our regular park.
The parents played games with the kids like Twister and volleyball, we had hot dogs, hamburgers, and watermelon, and the kids spent hours exploring the playground.
It was such a fun-filled day for our entire family, and it didn't cost a penny except for what was spent on food.
Plan a picnic in the park with local families and make it a potluck. Have each family bring a game to play like horseshoes or Bocce ball.
There are very few kids who don't like camping, but the hassle of packing everything can oftentimes be more stress than necessary for parents who just want a simple vacation. Enter the backyard campout.
Set up your tent in the backyard, create a mini campfire with an outdoor stove, and roast your hot dogs. Of course, you should also cap off the evening with s'mores and scary ghost stories. Children love creative activities that lets their imagination do most of the work.
A day at the beach, lake, or pool can provide entertainment for hours with the help of a few silly water toys. Just make sure to pack plenty of snacks for those kiddos that burn off energy in the water. Meanwhile, mom and dad can relax poolside once they've tired out from trying to keep up with the kids.
Don't live near a beach, lake, or pool? Invest in a slip and slide and turn those sprinklers on.
Show your kids the outdoors by taking them on a hike to new location. It will be even more exciting if you can spot some wildlife and teach your children about the local animals. Incorporating some lessons into the hike will help keep children from getting bored.
Use the farmers market to show your children where produce comes from. Make it into an activity and give them the shopping list so they can decide which booth to purchase groceries at. This will help them engage more and feel like they're helping rather than just tagging along on an errand.
A lot of cities offer free activities in the summertime, like movies in the park, concerts in the park, free bowling nights, and more. Search Google for free family activities in your city, or check your city's calendar to see what kind of activities you can take advantage of.
Too often, parents make the mistake of assuming a ton of money needs to be spent in order to take part in activities their whole family can enjoy. It's simply not true.
You can continue to live a budget-friendly lifestyle with kids if you just make more of an effort rather than shelling out big bucks to go to the movies, or your local amusement park.
What are some of your favorite family activities that are cheap?
Check with your local library. Most of them have a summer reading program with great activities for children and adults. And remember, libraries aren't just for books. Most of them have DVDs and CDs that you can check out, and computers you can use. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdHw5qoTAkOJ5BW7l | A blend of the Wairau (Southern Valleys) and Awatere Valley (43%), the vines were three and four cane VSP pruned. The grapes were picked on the flavours, trying to balance the nice grassy notes with the more tropical passionfruit flavours, then gently pressed to stainless steel tanks for fermentation. The fermentation was done at cool temperatures with specially selected yeast that maximised the aromatics in the juice. After fermentation the tanks were graded and this wine is a selection of the best tanks.
The grapes for this wine are from three different vineyard blocks, two in the Wairau Valley and the third in the Waihopai Valley. All were VSP pruned and shoot thinned before a light leaf plucking, followed by a colour thinning of the bunches later in the season. 2017 was a wonderful year, flavours developed early allowing us to pick the grapes at slightly lower sugar levels than normal resulting in elegant, concentrated wines. The grapes were in pristine condition, they were gently pressed before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The fermentation was conducted at low temperatures (12-14C) to retain the wines beautiful aromatics, the tanks were lees stirred post fermentation to encourage yeast autolysis to provide extra palate weight. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUcerxaKPQonPpKzu2 | I am interested in the interplay between species' environmental and spatial occurrence patterns, and how such interaction are manifested in species' distributions in the context of current and future climates under increasing anthropogenic influences. My research covers both theoretical and applied aspects of these questions of distributional biology, including issues such as remote sensing applications to mapping biodiversity, predicting areas at risk of invasive species, conservation of data-deficient species, and seasonal variation of species' distributions.
The main drivers of my current research are: 1) to understand distributional patterns for individual species across broad spatial scales, using empirical ecological niche modeling tools, and 2) to derive local-scale ecological models that take into account seasonal variation of vegetation and its effects on animal distributions.

BkiUd7E4dbghRguYJjZf | Bătălia de la Soledar este o serie de angajamente militare aflate în desfășurare în apropierea orașului Soledar din regiunea Donețk, între Ucraina și Rusia, în timpul Bătăliei din Donbas din 2022.
Liderul grupului de mercenari Wagner Evgheni Prigojin a anunțat că orașul ar fi sub ocupație rusă din 10 ianuarie 2023.
Cucerirea orașului are ca scop înconjurarea Bahmutului, aflat la 10 kilometri la sud. Cele două orașe fac parte din linia ucraineană de apărare din fața zonei urbane Sloviansk și Kramatorsk.
La jumătatea lunii ianuarie 2023, forțe de elită (mercenari Wagner și trupele aeropurtate ruse) au reușit să captureze, prin lupte grele, zonele rezidențiale și au început să se deplaseze spre zona industrială. Din 16 ianuarie 2023, armata ucraineană a fost respinsă din oraș, dar armata rusă nu a reușit să taie autostrada Т 0513, care ar fi permis o ofensivă rusă spre Bahmut. Linia defensivă a Ucrainei este de-a lungul autostrăzii Т-0513, iar luptele grele continuă între autostradă și periferia orașului Soledar.

BkiUbLXxK1Thg98UeDNe | Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research Awards $5 Million to Launch Public-Private Effort to Address Water Scarcity with Irrigation Innovation
The Foundation for Food & Agriculture Research (FFAR), a nonprofit organization established through bipartisan congressional support in the 2014 Farm Bill, today awarded a $5 million grant to launch the Irrigation Innovation Consortium, a collaborative research effort to accelerate the development and adoption of water and energy efficient irrigation technologies and practices through public-private partnerships. The $5 million FFAR grant was matched by participants for a total initial investment of $10 million to support research and collaboration costs over five years. The Consortium is composed of the following initial founding members:
Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute at the University of Nebraska (DWFI)
Irrigation Association (IA)
Jain Irrigation
Kansas State Research and Extension, Kansas State University
Lindsay Corporation
Northern Water
Rubicon Water
Texas A&M AgriLife Research
Public sector researchers and industry partners will co-develop, test, prototype and improve innovations, equipment, technology and decision and information systems designed to equip "farms of the future," with cutting edge technologies and optimization strategies to enhance irrigation efficiency. Initial research priorities include water and energy efficiency, remote sensing and big data applications for improving water management, irrigation technology acceleration and technology transfer. University scientists will collaborate with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service on some components of the research.
The new Irrigation Innovation Consortium unites top university research talent with industry to promote practical advancements in irrigation technology and water management practices. We are optimistic that outcomes from this collaborative effort will help producers grow more food with smart water management and strengthen the resilience of our food supply. Sally Rockey, Ph.D.
Executive Director Emeritus
Initial participants are working to create a platform for other universities, federal agencies including the U.S. Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service and the private sector to work together on the critical water challenges facing agriculture, municipalities and industry. The goal is to create an internationally recognized, self-sustaining center of excellence that promotes and enhances water and energy efficiency in irrigation, ultimately creating greater resiliency in food and irrigated landscape systems.
"The IA thanks FFAR and the university partners for their leadership in the creation of the new Irrigation Innovation Consortium," said IA's CEO Deborah M. Hamlin, CAE, FASAE. "We are confident that the research stemming from this collaborative effort will drive new advancements in efficient irrigation and keep the irrigation industry at the forefront of innovation."
Specific research priorities will be determined by an executive committee, with representation from FFAR and academic and industry consortium participants. Irrigation industry involvement will help accelerate research and development for rapid application in the field.
Knowledge gained will be shared publicly through publications, workshops and seminars and appropriate data-sharing mechanisms.
Plans for the consortium began at a FFAR-hosted convening event held at the Daugherty Water for Food Institute's Global Conference in Lincoln, Nebraska in April 2017. Approximately 25 representatives of private companies participated in the discussion, which helped shape the initial research focus of the consortium.
Organizations interested in joining the Irrigation Innovation Consortium are invited to contact Stephen Smith, Ph.D., executive director of the Irrigation Innovation Consortium and FFAR advisory council member: swsmith@buenavidafarm.com.
The Irrigation Innovation Consortium is being formally launched today at the Water in the West Symposium hosted by Colorado State University.

Cross-platform locking that works across multiple threads and processes can be complicated. A simple solution is to use 2 level locking based off of mkdir (which fails on all attempts except the first). It works across threads and processes (or even servers), since only one will get to do mkdir. | github | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUd4zxK7kjXLSrGCJO | I have had several scenarios where a user has pressed the back button and the information in a session has been lost.
Explain a bit more what happens. Do you logout? or Session variables are null?
If the user clicks the back button it won't clear the session. What you may be experiencing is if the user sits on the page for an extended period of time, the session may have timed out.
I have a wizard which has 5 steps. At step 5 all the information that is saved in a session gets saved to a database.
Sometimes and I can't reproduce it when a user gets to the final step the information that was stored to a session in previous steps (You can't go to the next step unless all information is filled in) is not there anymore and the user gets taken back to normally the first step because all the information in a session has disappeared.
It maybe a timing session, but the session has 15 minutes.
add this in ur page..
i hope u re looking for cache..
It may be a timeout issue. Users may sit on the page for longer than 15 minutes.
Another avenue to check is if you're using an Application pool in IIS, that could be recycling itself and cause the session to be cleared.
Increase the session time and check if you have somehow disabled the ViewState property.
Clearing the session when the Internet browser back button is clicked.
Keep values on a web form when click button back?
How do I clear the contents of a form when the user clicks the back button on the browser?
How to preserve values in a web form when navigating to a different page and then going back to the original page using the back button ?
Bushfire information, many questions and searches for answers.

Professor Nigel Laing
Laboratory Head, Neurogenetic Disease
ACTA1 Locus specific database
Prevent severe recessive disease survey
The Neurogenetic Diseases Laboratory is one of the world's foremost research groups in the investigation of the genetic causes of muscle diseases.
Disease gene discovery
One major part of the Laboratory's work is discovering new disease genes. The International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC) aims to find all the causative genes for Mendelian disease genes by the end of 2020. The IRDiRC estimates that the final number of such disease genes will be around 6,000 genes. Currently 3,500 genes are known, which means around 2,500 are yet to be found. This means that all of us around the world trying to find these disease genes need, between us, to find more than one new disease gene a day, if the goal of finding them all by 31st December 2020 is to be reached.
Since 2013 the Neurogenetic Diseases Laboratory has published seven novel disease genes CYC1, KLHL40, KLHL41, SPEG, LMOD3, MTOR and GPR126. The Laboratory is currently validating another five candidate novel disease genes. We are playing our role in the principal goal of IRDiRC.
The Neurogenetic Diseases Laboratory was the first in the world to identify a gene for one sub-group of muscle diseases present at birth (the congenital myopathy nemaline myopathy) and has been part of identifying eight out of the ten genes now known for this disease, including KLHL40, KLHL41 and LMOD3 in the list above.
The Laboratory's disease gene discoveries have helped families all round the world know the cause of their children's disease.
Development of improved diagnostics
The Perkins Neurogenetic Diseases Laboratory is closely associated with the diagnostic Neurogenetic Unit in PathWest, the laboratory arm of the Western Australian Department of health. Since 2012, the Neurogenetic Diseases Laboratory has been a member of the NH&MRC Centre for Research Excellence in Neuromuscular Disorders, with the role of developing next generation sequencing based diagnostics for neuromuscular disorders. This goal has been achieved and implemented in the PathWest Neurogenetic Unit, resulting in a much higher percentage of neuromuscular disorder patients receiving an accurate molecular diagnosis than was possible previously.
Development of therapies
Development of clinically applicable therapies is another major goal of the Laboratory. We are researching possible treatments for diseases where we have identified the genes, most notably the skeletal muscle actin (ACTA1) diseases, where we have shown experimentally that heart actin is a candidate to use for treating the skeletal muscle actin diseases.
Prevention of genetic disease
Couples who have had a child with a severe neuromuscular disorder, wish to avoid further affected children. The only way this can be achieved is through knowing the precise molecular cause of the disease in the family through either improved diagnostics or novel disease gene discovery. In certain countries, preconception carrier screening has been implemented as a public health measure to reduce the burden of genetic disease. (In Western Australian society nearly 50% of deaths before age 1 result from rare diseases, most of which are genetic.*) The Perkins Neurogenetic Diseases Laboratory, along with the Department of Health Office of Population Health Genomics, led a satellite workshop on preconception carrier screening at the European Society of Human Genetics Annual Scientific meeting in Glasgow, Scotland in 2015, aiming to inform possibilities for preconception carrier screening in Australia. The Satellite Workshop was a notable success, with subsequent policy and planning in progress.
The Perkins Neurogenetic Diseases Laboratory is thus playing a leading role on multiple fronts in a worldwide consortium of groups working towards defeating neuromuscular diseases.

BkiUddY241xiEnW_49g7 | We love products that come with apps. The app provides an easy-to-use interface that puts the power of the product at our fingertips. But what do you do when the product stops working, or the user struggles setting it up? RevTwo provides a complete remote support stack that connects to both apps and smart products. Avoid costly product returns and ensure your customer's satisfaction.
Smart products present very unique support challenges, Combining a high value product, large product quantities, and technical complexity, it is difficult to give your customers the attention they require. Answer Bot addresses this support burden by answering user questions / problems with unprecedented accuracy. Utilizing both user description with actual product data, RevTwo is able to look under the covers and figure out solutions to many problems, all without human intervention, saving your customers time and your organization money.
Your agents are facing a never ending torrent of issues. Conversing with customers one at a time can be inefficient and costly. RevTwo provides a high volume chat interface that lets your agents manage many conversation simultaneously. Answer Bot integration puts answers right at their fingertips, while attached metadata provides important customer context. Faster call resolution times yields improved customer satisfaction and lower costs.
RevTwo provides a closed loop system between you, your customers, and their smart products. Customers can report problems from right within the app. Agents can chat or talk with the customer. Agents can even perform diagnostic sessions with the devices themselves. RevTwo makes it easy for agents to identify the customer's attached devices, from right within the tickets themselves, and while still conversing with the customer troubleshoot them.
Your app is a goldmine of useful information. It knows your customer. It knows about your attached smart products. It even knows what your customers are doing! RevTwo lets you attach this information to a ticket, view it at the agent workbench, and even utilize it during Answer Bot diagnostic sessions.
In addition to user reported problems, RevTwo lets you report tickets directly from the embedded product itself. When a product detects a problem in the field, they are able to create a ticket, attach useful information to it, and then submit the problem to RevTwo. The problem can even be tagged in a special way to prevent it from hitting the support queue. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Background/Context: Research indicates that across democratic societies, teachers face numerous intellectual and emotional challenges when handling controversial topics in the classroom. Less attention, however, has been paid to how teachers� willingness to teach controversial topics intersects with political and other societal factors in different sociopolitical milieu and, in particular, in an authoritarian�democratic and culturally diverse state like Singapore.
Focus of Study: This study focused on constraints to the teaching of controversial topics relating to diversity and the manner in which teachers navigated their personal beliefs amidst the evolving contours of public and official discourses in Singapore. By attending to the intersections of teachers� beliefs, state policies, and other sociopolitical factors, we aimed to inform scholarship on the teaching of controversial topics and illuminate states� powers to demarcate the discursive spaces of teachers.
Research Design: The study adhered to the qualitative case study design. We collected data from interviews that featured various elicitation tasks to describe 35 social studies teachers� perceptions and practice of controversial issues discussions relating to topics of diversity. Additionally, we drew on policy and curricular documents to portray the evolving contours of public discourse in Singapore.
Findings/Results: The findings highlight how the participants, influenced largely by state policies, differentiated between topics that were controversial-appropriate and controversial-taboo. In spite of the numerous legal constraints limiting the nature of public discussion of race and politics, the majority of the teachers regarded these topics as controversial-appropriate. There was, conversely, a consensus among the participants that topics related to sexual orientation were controversial-taboo even though there were no similar laws constraining public discussion of this issue.
Conclusions/Recommendations: This study challenges conventional assumptions about the impact that state-imposed constraints and controls have on the teaching of controversial topics in schools. Under some circumstances, state controls and constraints can result in teachers having more freedom to discuss controversial topics because of the clearly demarcated political and social boundaries. However, if the state�s position is ambiguous, this may result in a Kafkaesque situation in which teachers become even more conservative in their curriculum decision making due to a heightened sense of uncertainty and insecurity. Ultimately, the study brings to light the nuanced ways that state control and censorship influence the spaces and limits of issues-centered discussion, and underlines the need for research that attends to various social forces that frame the teaching of controversial topics in different democratic settings.

BkiUbHDxK6nrxrSHdb9C | Vancouver, BC - Radial Engineering Ltd. is pleased to announce the Tonebone Headlight, a compact guitar amp selector, is now shipping.
The Headlight is able to sequentially activate up to four amps using a single footswitch. A second muting footswitch may be used for quiet on-stage tuning or switching instruments between songs. It can also be set up to turn all of the amps on at once.
According to Radial's head of Artist Relations, Jim Rhodes: "Radial has been making guitar and amp switchers for years. But with more and more artists traveling on airplanes, concerns regarding extra baggage costs have become commonplace. We hear this regularly from the artists we work with and this resulted in our working to come up with a solution that is both compact and super easy to use. Depending on how many outputs are in use, the Headlight lets you advance through them using a single footswitch, while ignoring the ones that are not connected. This eliminates the typical four or five switches that are usually employed and reduces the size to accommodate a smaller pedalboard."
The design begins with Radial's legendary Class-A buffer circuit to eliminate distortion and artefact. This is coupled with Drag™ control load correction to deliver the natural tone and feel of the instrument. From there, each output is optimized to eliminate the hum and buzz that is commonly associated with ground loops. A series of ultra-bright LED indicators provide visual status feedback for the active outputs and mute function. The Headlight is made from 14-gauge steel to ensure the protection against outside stress. This also shields the inner workings from external magnetic fields. Power may be supplied by any standard 9V PSU (not included) or by a typical multi-pedal power brick.
Radial Engineering Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of fine products used by audio professionals and musicians around the world. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdns5qhLAB-QFvnCm | In both cases the manual download link resulted in a usable zip file.
Thank you for the report we are looking into the matter and will have it resolved momentarily.
seems the download is still broken. Neither manual download seems to work properly.
Could you please suggest me a workaround?
The manual download works for me in Chrome but here is a link. Also it should be known that the OE Player is not compatible with latest framework releases and therefore, should not be used in either Windows or Mac until we have updated it. Though the player is nice for authoring exclusively in CML, building custom applications most likely will require some level of AS3 development. We recommend exploring our tutorials and examples with a Flash IDE. Not only will an IDE make the player unnecessary, but it will also provide the power to customize and publish a flash application. See the Development Environment Setup section of the Open Exhibit tutorials to configure and use one of the supported Flash development tools. We will update the player as time permits but, in any case, developing with an IDE is more beneficial. | c4 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUbNI5qhDACtS7fj_s | OBJECTIVES: Autoinflammatory disorders are disorders of the innate immune system. Standard genetic testing provided no correct diagnosis in a female patient from a non-consanguineous family of British descent with a colchicine-responsive autosomal dominant periodic fever syndrome. We aimed to unravel the genetic cause of the symptoms. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was used to screen for novel sequence variants, which were validated by direct Sanger sequencing. Ex vivo stimulation with peripheral blood mononuclear cells was performed to study the functional consequences of the mutation. mRNA and cytokine levels were measured by quantitative PCR and ELISA, respectively. RESULTS: Whole exome sequencing revealed a novel missense sequence variant, not seen in around 6800 controls, mapping to exon 8 of the MEFV gene (c.1730C>A; p.T577N), co-segregating perfectly with disease in this family. Other mutations at the same amino acid (c.1730C>G; p.T577S and c.1729A>T; p.T577S) were found in a family of Turkish descent, with autosomal dominant inheritance of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF)-like phenotype, and a Dutch patient, respectively. Moreover, a mutation (c.1729A>G; p.T577A) was detected in two Dutch siblings, who had episodes of inflammation of varying severity not resembling FMF. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from one patient of the index family showed increased basal interleukin 1beta mRNA levels and cytokine responses after lipopolysaccharide stimulation. Responses normalised with colchicine treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Heterozygous mutations at amino acid position 577 of pyrin can induce an autosomal dominant autoinflammatory syndrome. This suggests that T577, located in front of the C-terminal B30.2/SPRY domain, is crucial for pyrin function. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUdps5qsJBjm66_Uy7 | Willoughby-Eastlake schools explain reason for lockdown
Posted 12:27 pm, October 1, 2019, by Talia Naquin, Kara Sutyak and Alex Stokes, Updated at 06:00PM, October 1, 2019
WILLOUGHBY, Ohio - Willougby-Eastlake schools were locked down for a short time Tuesday by order of the police department. All students are safe.
According to a letter from the district that went out to parents, the Willoughby Police Department asked that all the schools be placed on lockdown.
According to Willoughby police, the Lake County Central Emergency Center received an open 911 call at around 10:30 a.m.
The dispatcher overheard a male making comments about constructing a pipe bomb, police said. A track of the call led authorities to believe the call was made just outside of Eastlake North High School. Police said, due to the location of the call, the schools were placed on lockdown as a precaution. And, there was a strong police presence at the school buildings.
Eastlake police officers tracked the caller and explained what happened on the department's Facebook page:
"This morning the power went out for a short time at North High school and a conversation took place with some students. This conversation began after a phone connected to 911 on default after it was put away (pocket dial). During the conversation it was discussed about the "wires being cut" "we would all have to go to South"'"what about an active shooter." Additional conversation continued about prior threats that have been discussed and handled within the district.
As soon as the open line was discovered by the student they self-reported to the assistant principal prior to EPD officers even arriving. The student was contrite, apologetic, and meant no harm. This incident will be turned over to the school with no charges being filed by the department. The department is satisfied with the outcome of the investigation.
We take this incident and everything related to the safety of our children in the schools very seriously and will continue to work with the district to make the schools as safe as possible."
Earlier Tuesday at around 7:30 a.m., police responded to Willoughby South High School for a large group of students fighting in the cafeteria area. The students were separated and nine students were arrested for assault and taken to the Lake County Detention Center. A short time later, officers were on standby at the high school due to social media rumors of another fight. No other incidents occurred.
Police said neither the fights nor the 911 call were related.
Steve Thompson, superintendent of Willougby-Eastlake schools, released the following statement to FOX 8 News:
"Unfortunately, there was a physical altercation between students at South High School this morning. These matters are always taken seriously and will not be tolerated.
Police were immediately called to the scene. The district will work with law enforcement agencies to ensure that all procedures are followed regarding consequences for this event. Students engaging in fights in school can be and have been suspended and at times expelled for these poor decisions. The local police depart can also file charges against them for their actions.
The focus of Willoughby-Eastlake is to maintain a safe environment that is conducive to learning and we will not tolerate disruptions to this goal. We will continue to place student safety and a quality education for all at the forefront of our daily practices."

BkiUbJY4eILhQCVbdG-s | An upcoming Back Bling in 'Fortnite' showed some hints suggesting that a previously leaked LTM may arrive in the game.
The game "Fortnite" continues to evolve, as Epic Games dropped a new update (V4.5), where it introduced a new Limited Time Mode, the Dual Pistol, and a heap of upcoming cosmetics and features that were discovered in the game files. Data miners have examined some of the leaked intel and found some interesting stuff about what's likely going to happen in the game's Battle Royale version.
The data mining duo of @TwoEpicBuddies took to Twitter yet again to point out something interesting in one of the upcoming Back Blings, known as the Cluefinder.
They took notice of the small notepad that was attached alongside the said cosmetic, as it contained some scribbled notes and a sketch of what could be a dinosaur footprint.
This made them believe that the previously leaked Leviathan 50v50 LTM may actually come to fruition in "Fortnite" BR. They further theorized that the massive rocket in Snobby could be a weapon to bring down the yet to be seen behemoth. Players might recall an old post, from way back, detailing the events that are going to happen at the tail end of Season 4.
Per the alleged leak, this Leviathan LTM will be some sort of a tweaked 50v50 mode, where a member of one team will take control of the monster while the opposing team will do whatever they can to stop it from reaching its destination of either Wailing Woods or Greasy Grove. The leak also stated that lives will be infinite in this game mode, though players will be barred from building structures.
They also tweeted out that a few of the data mined audio files have some hidden Easter eggs within them, as one showed a skull (which is the shape of the villains' lair), while the other has a series of digits and characters.
Epic Buddies then claimed in the succeeding tweets that they have figured out what these codes meant and revealed that these are coordinates for Moisty Mire and a so-called highest hill.
Another data miner - @FNBRLeaks – also took to Twitter to show what he dug up.
If the game files are anything to go by, it looks like the Battle Royale map will either get a massive update or an extension. Whatever the turnout is, this will definitely get "Fortnite" fans hooked on the game even more.
Meanwhile, at the time of writing, Epic had announced that the new Playground LTM will remain under maintenance, adding that they'll have more information on June 28. Let's just hope that everything will be fixed by then. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUfZ05qhLB3UNjqW7x | After four major albums, nu metal rockers Linkin Park are returning to their roots for their upcoming fifth album 'Living Things' (pictured). 'A Thousand Suns' took the band in a more experimental direction, but the band are keen to return to a more familiar sound and re-establish themselves in the popular sphere.
Burn It Down is the first single from 'Living Things' and, as you'd expect, it's a stonker. When the chorus kicks in you're hit by a wall of sound - guitars, keys, drums and Chester Bennington's soaring vocal. This isn't quite a return to the band's original sound though. Burn It Down contains none of the screaming metal of 'Hybrid Theory' but is closer to the softer rock of 'Meteora'. It may not hit the highs of Numb or Somewhere I Belong and it's not their catchiest track, but it's still an anthemic rock record that fans of the band will lap up, paving the way for another brilliant album. Let's hope that opening lyric "the cycle repeated" is taken to heart and the band can return to their former glory.
Listen: Burn It Down is available now and is taken from forthcoming album 'Living Things' released on June 25th.
Watch: Linkin Park will be touring Europe over the summer. Lucky Americans can catch the band in August when they co-headline with Incubus. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdCo4uzlhheeMy9cN | Or are there any better reccomandations? My maximum budget would be around 1000 euros.
I'd prefer the dual fans on the MSI over the blower style on the Gigabyte.
It depends, the blower style will exhaust all the heat out back but the dual fan inside the case so really it is what you want. If doing OC and heat is an issue the blower style card is better.
The Ventus is the better card is most cases. The Turbo cards are horrible, they run loud and hot.
Thank you all for being so helpful!
Do I need even a 2080 if I only use it for gaming, or should I just stick to a 2070 one?
Need? These are for gaming. A 2070 will do the same job just with lower fps.
The difference from what I've seen from Youtube videos comparing these two isn't that great, around 10 fps I guess.
But what version of 2070 would you reccomend? The GeForce RTX 2070 VENTUS 8GB GDDR6 256-bit one or MSI GeForce RTX 2070 ARMOR OC 8GB GDDR6 256-bit ?
The Ventus has a way better cooler than the armor. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 2 |

BkiUdTs5qX_AY5k-ywjb | This one hundred year old floor needed some serious cleaning; these Orange and Black Victorian tiles installed in the hallway of a period house in Skipton, North Yorkshire had paint, glue and around twenty years of ingrained dirt on them due to previously being covered in carpet.
To restore the tile surface we used a process we call the Blanket method which involves covering the floor in a mixture of Tile Doctor Remove & Go and Nano Tech Ultra Clean. The whole floor was covered very liberally with the chemical mixture and then sheeted over with polythene and sealed all the way round with water proof tape. There must be a perfect seal so no chemicals can dry out by oxidation and is left over night to soak into the tile.
The next day the polythene was removed in sections and the chemicals were first cleaned off with rags and then rinsed of many times with warm water. The whole floor was then scrubbed with a rotary machine fitted with a black pad and Tile Doctor Pro-Clean mixed 1 to 4 parts warm water to remove all the residue of the chemicals and any dirt. Pro-Clean is an industrial strength cleaning product that is safe to use on Tile, Stone and Grout.
The next day I returned and checked the floor for dampness using a Damp Meter which indicated the floor was dry and ready for sealing. Three coats of sealant was used and for Victorian Floor tiles I recommend Tile Doctor Seal and Go which provides a low sheen finish whilst offering great stain protection.
The 100 year old floor now looks almost as new and I think you will agree it has been transformed. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

Conflicting Internet Regulations Could Kill Technological Innovation
posted Sunday Jul 1, 2018 by Scott Ertz
2018 might just be the year of bad internet regulations being passed globally. A little over a month ago we had the implementation of GDPR, which requires that a citizen of the European Union can request that a company delete all personal data they have collected about that person. Conceptually, the law makes sense: you may not want a company like Facebook to know everything that you have ever done. And when you delete your account, you would like to know that it is actually gone.
Now we have new laws coming around that are going to implement different sets of regulations on internet traffic and usage. For example, California has passed what is being called CCPA, which is essentially California's version of GDPR. The law was rushed and never fully considered because it was a knee-jerk reaction to the Cambridge Analytica issue from earlier in the year. The law will certainly not be the last of its kind in the US and is a sign of a problem.
California is proof that not thinking about a law can cause drama, but the EU continues to prove that even long consideration can produce garbage. Between GDPR and their newest legal disaster, they show a complete misunderstanding about how the internet works. Even worse, they, along with California, are producing an environment in which technological innovation is going to come to a screeching halt.
GDPR had the unfortunate side effect of essentially making blockchain, which is designed to prevent centralization, a liability. Once you store profile information in a block, it is there. You can make adjustments, but you can never remove content from the ledger, or it will never validate. That means that whole parts of blockchain usage is officially illegal in the EU. However, the new law is about to make memes illegal. If you use any piece of content that is copyrighted, a platform will be required to autonomously remove it. So, no more Rick & Morty memes about a long day at work.
In addition, the wording of the law could also try to implement a link tax. This concept has been tried and failed spectacularly in the past because implementing it is impossible. Imaging the government trying to charge Facebook because you shared this article on the platform. Neither Facebook nor PLuGHiTz Live had anything to do with your actions, but both of us have to be involved now. Pure insanity.
If these types of laws continue to pop up around the world, we will see one of two results. Either we will see companies implementing different rules for each global area, which means only big companies with large legal departments, will be able to compete, or we will see companies block these regions entirely. We've seen the latter happen before when Google News pulled out of Spain for a similar type of link tax. I fear that we will see a result somewhere down the middle, where fewer startups will be able to succeed and the big companies will punish the EU in particular for their laws.

This week, Apple and Samsung finally settle their differences, regulations could be strangling the internet and Fox is ghosting Comcast.
Apple and Samsung Finally End Patent Debate
This story has been a long time in the works. In 2011, Apple sued Samsung, claiming that Samsung had violated a number of Apple's patents. While some revolved around interaction and OS design, which was mostly Google's doing, the most memorable aspect of the suit was definitely the design patent. It is one of the most mocked suits in technology history because Apple claimed that Samsung had violated a patent involving rounded corners on a rectangle.

Fallout 76 Won't Have Cross-Console Play, Sony Says Solution Coming
The topic of cross-console play has been huge in the gaming industry for over a year. Microsoft committed to allowing Xbox owners to play their games with players on other consoles. Their first major project was allowing cross-play on Minecraft , a game that is all about interaction with others. As of this moment, the game can be played on every major platform, and players can all play with one another - almost. If you have an Xbox, PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad, Android phone or even Switch, you can play together. Unfortunately, PlayStation players are still forced to play in the Sony walled garden. Microsoft and Nintendo have gone so far as to run cross-branded ads promoting their cross-play capabilities.
Disney Gets Government Approval to Purchase Fox Assets, Comcast Still Fighting
What happens when two different companies, both bent on owning everything, bid on the same company? You end up with the epic three-way that is Fox-Disney-Comcast. It all started when Disney bid to purchase Twentieth-Century Fox. Their bid, which was the only one, was $52.4 billion, which seemed like a clear decision for Fox.

BkiUdV05qX_Bhxbdqqh6 | Vogue nabs top honor at National Magazine Awards
Anna Wintour's Vogue snagged Magazine of the Year honors at the National Magazine Awards, also known as the "Ellies," Monday night.
However, in a clear sign of the industry's transition, digital publications were also scoring key awards and creating a lot of excitement as the American Society of Magazine Editors handed out 18 awards in 24 categories. The digital insurgents have not totally elbowed aside the traditional legacy winners just yet, but the ASME judges are clearly looking to open the door wider.
The biggest Ellie winners were print stalwarts: Adam Moss' New York magazine and David Remnick's New Yorker, which tied for the lead with three awards each. The event, held at the Marriott Marquis, was hosted by David Muir, anchor of ABC News' "World News Tonight."
The upstarts are clearly leaving their mark in an industry that is in a state of transition. Janice Min, president of Guggenheim Media, was on hand to accept the first-ever award won by The Hollywood Reporter — for general excellence in the special-interest magazine category.
Min pointed out that event was being held the same night as THR's Oscar nominees party. "Winning this makes me feel much less ridiculous for not being there," she said.
As Min's thank-yous dragged on, music began playing to let her know she had reached the end of her allotted time. "Now I'm being played off. This really is the Oscars of magazines," she quipped.

BkiUfWc25V5jRAvtX9iM | Earth's Magnetic Rhythms
By loveripple
In Blog, Consciousness, Science
Earth has a strong internal magnetic field that appears to be generated by electrical currents in the liquid outer iron core that are driven by internal heat sources. The magnetic field resembles that of a bar magnet or "dipole field" with an axis tilted about 11.5 degrees from the spin axis, so, the magnetic poles are not the same as the geographic poles. Earth's magnetic field strength was first measured by Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1835 and has been measured repeatedly since then. The field has shown a relative decay of about 10% over the last 150 years. The locations of the magnetic poles are not static; they wander as much as 55 kilometers every year.
The geomagnetic field is influenced by the sun and moon's rotations, solar flares and probably interplanetary influences. Animals, including birds, can detect Earth's magnetic field and use it to navigate during migration. It has been shown, for example, that cows and deer, when grazing, tend to align their bodies north-south in response to the earth's magnetic field.
The forces of the solar wind include charged particles that push against Earth's magnetic field. Because of the solar wind, the portion of the geomagnetic field facing the sun is pushed in toward the earth's surface and flattened when the portion of the field facing away from the sun, known as the magnetotail, is pulled away from Earth. (See figure below.) A visible phenomenon of the collision of charged solar particles with Earth's magnetic field is auroras, or the northern and southern polar lights, which are commonly known as the aurora borealis and aurora australis.
When the solar wind meets the earth's magnetic field it causes various types of complex oscillations in the field that often are referred to asmicropulsations and field line resonances. Based on their waveforms, magnetic pulsations and field line resonances have been classified as pulsations that are continuous (Pc) and pulsations that irregular (Pi). Because their frequencies are so low, they are usually characterized by their period of oscillation rather than frequency.
There are a variety of mechanisms that produce these oscillations, such as interactions of solar wind and the earth's main magnetic field lines; sudden solar wind pressure changes that move/push the field in or allow it to expand out; and sudden changes in solar wind direction that cause the magnetotail to stretch and snap back.

BkiUdg7xK7Dgs_aSUxOV | Passenger drags seizure victim off train in 'disturbing' scene
By Joshua Rhett Miller
August 3, 2018 | 1:13pm | Updated August 3, 2018 | 1:59pm
An investigation is ongoing into a "very disturbing" incident caught on video of a man removing an unconscious passenger from a commuter train in California, transit officials said.
A 6-minute video shot by a passenger late Wednesday aboard a Metro train shows a white man dragging an unconscious black man onto the platform at the Blue Line's Wardlow Station in Long Beach.
"So this dude is passed out on the train and this motherf—ing white boy is doing the motherf—-ing most," a man who recorded the incident says. "This motherf—er just yanked him off the f—ing train so he won't have to stop and miss his f—ing ride."
The unconscious man had just suffered a seizure on the train, according to the witness.
"So hopefully we'll see authorities called and they deal with this motherf—er the way they deal with everybody else," the witness continued. "Dude just had a seizure but this white boy is going to drag him off the damn train so he don't miss his ride."
No one else on the train complained of having to wait for paramedics to respond, according to the witness, who accused the man of removing the man for his convenience.
"That's that bulls—t white people do because y'all feel y'all can get away it," the witness said.
The white passenger, clad in a suit, is later seen exiting the train and kneeling down to check the man's pulse.
"Don't try and act like you give a f— now, you the one who dragged him out here," the witness said.
The white passenger then said he was "being responsible" by removing the unidentified man from the train, a claim the witness flatly rejected. The white passenger also questioned whether the man definitely had a seizure, saying he possibly could've been intoxicated.
"It don't matter what the f—k you thought," the witness said. "He had a f—ing seizure."
The white man then touched the unconscious man's face as he lay on the platform.
"Bro, are you responsive?" he said. "OK. He needs paramedics. Can somebody call him paramedics?"
In a statement obtained by The Post, transit officials said an investigation is ongoing. Police in Long Beach are trying to identify the man in the video and will determine if any criminal charges are warranted, spokesman Rick Jager said.
"Obviously, this is very disturbing and we never want to see this on our system," the statement read. "We're getting all the facts including reviewing the video from the train and the platform, and we'll share more details when they're available. If someone is in distress, we encourage people to call 9-1-1 for medical assistance."
An officer assigned to the Metro Blue Line responded to the platform at about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, a Long Beach police spokeswoman confirmed to The Post. Detectives are reviewing the video and will coordinate with the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office to determine if any criminal negligence took place.

BkiUf7E25V5jgpkz29K1 | An FL-D filter is a color correcting filter to make fluorescent lighting appear more daylight-ish to your film/sensor. An ND (neutral density) is for reducing the amount of light seen by your film/sensor with no (ideally) color modification, which is why it's termed neutral. Most FL-D filters I've seen have a noticeable color tint to them, while an ND filter is just gray.
FL-D (and other color correction) filters are not used as much in digital photography as they were in film days. Furthermore, there many different types (and hence color casts) of fluorescent lighting today than were available thirty years ago. Unless a fluorescent color correction filter is matched to the color of the fluorescent light, it can have a different color cast result than intended. It's so much easier to control white balance in camera (or in post, if shooting raw images) than it is to deal with filters, in general.
That's not to say that color correction filters are useless. I'm generally an advocate of getting the shot as correct as possible in camera, to reduce what needs to be done in post. There are plenty of situations where it might make sense to use color correction filters. See also: Are there reasons to use colour filters with digital cameras?
ND filters just reduce the amount of light coming into the lens, with (ideally) no color cast. Say you are shooting outdoors on a bright day, and want to capture an image with shallow depth of field. That requires you to shoot your lens with a wide aperture. But that means there's a lot of light coming through a wide aperture. You can't get your ISO usefully much lower than 100, so your only means to control exposure to use a fast shutter speed. But if your shutter isn't fast enough (or for some reason you want a slow shutter, such as trying to create some blur), then you need a way to reduce your exposure. That's where ND filters come in. Think of ND filters as the real-world exposure control slider in Photoshop.
Is a fluorescent filter worth using, and how and when?

BkiUf2PxK7Tt52mM_s2a | Your sacrifice beads consist of 11 beads, 10 are moveable. The beads will be a type of stone, such as jasper and also, pearls. Beginning with the cross or crucifix, which currently are solid bronze cast replicas of antique french pieces, represents the'Apostle's Creed' prayer when praying the rosary. Below the cross sits one immovable Our Father bead, which will represent the 'Our Father' prayer when your beads are used as a rosary.
You'll notice an inch or so of space below the Our Father bead. This extra space gives room to slide the remaining 10 moveable beads up and down the cord when using your beads as reminders of sacrifice during your day. These moveable 10 beads also represent the 'Hail Mary'prayer when praying the rosary.
Below the 10 beads is a medal. These medals are usually representative of a saint, Our Blessed Mother, the Sacred Heart of Jesus, etc., usually with a quote or short prayer on the front or reverse of the medal. The medal, like the crucifix is a solid cast bronze replica of various antique pieces.
The inspiration for Mary's Hands was St. Therese of Lisieux who used a set of beads similar to yours when she was a child. Given as a gift by one of her older sisters, she kept them in her pocket to remind her to give selflessly to others throughout her day. This daily practice helped bring her into communion with God and a habit of constant mental prayer.
It's a game of love vs. selfishness. The game is simple, but can have a great impact in your life. Each of the 10 moveable beads represents a sacrifice. Each time you make a sacrifice, slide a bead toward the cross. Your goal is to move all ten beads close to the cross by the end of your day. Don't be overwhelmed in thinking a sacrifice has to be large. Think small. Take one moment at a time, one day at a time. For example, if you buy a daily cup of coffee, set aside the money for the coffee and drop the cash in the donation box at the grocery store on your way home. Another example might be that if there is someone at work you're at odds with and you normally avoid, make an effort to spend some positive time with that person. Each time you make a sacrifice, reach in your pocket or purse and slide a bead toward the cross.
View each day as a new beginning, with a sincere resolve to give as much as you can, but with love.
So the next time someone cuts in front of you on the road, or the next time you see a homeless person on the sidewalk, begging for money, a hungry stray cat, lost dog, or the person at work who drives you crazy, simply remember the biggest sacrifice anyone has ever made for you - Jesus, tortured and dying for you on the cross. Forget any feelings of disgust, frustration or anger. Remember how much He loves you - that He was willing to die for you. Then take that spark the memory of His love will ignite, and in the middle of your distress, fan that flame of compassion, mercy and love and pass that light to someone else. Even if they don't know of your sacrifice, such as the driver who cuts you off on the freeway; even if they don't hear your prayer that they arrive safely to their destination without harming themselves or others; rest assured, your prayer of love has made a difference.
Make a difference in your own little way. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUcRrxK3xgpfdGPNnH | Q: DAX Filter Table To Replace Relationship I have two tables that I'm looking to create a DAX measure from.
DimProject
ProjectID EmployeeID StartDate
5 2 2017-08-01
6 2 2017-07-01
DimEmployee
EmployeeID Name
2 Nick
I need to return the MAX StartDate where the StartDate is on or before today. The kicker is, I cannot have a relationship between these two tables in SSAS directly, because there's already a relationship between these tables through a fact table. Here's what I have so far, but, it errors on the last EmployeeID reference.
When Placed Into Work:= CALCULATE(MAX(DimProject[ProjectStartDateKey]), FILTER(DimProject, DimProject[ProjectStartDateKey] < TODAY()), FILTER(DimProject, DimProject[EmployeeID] = DimEmployee[EmployeeID]))
EDIT:
I've tried an alternate method of creating the join between the two tables. However, while this formula compiles, it can't be used because it states that multiple values are being returned.
MAXX(DimProject, CALCULATE(VALUES(DimProject[ProjectStartDateKey]), FILTER(DimProject, DimProject[EmployeeID] = DimEmployee[EmployeeID]), FILTER(DimProject, DimProject[ProjectStartDateKey] < TODAY())))
A: 1) may I suggest you to flatten the 2 dimensions? means that you merge the dim tables like this:
ProjectID EmployeeID StartDate EmployeeName
5 2 2017-08-01 Nick
6 2 2017-07-01 Nick
then returning the highest date becomes trivial.
2) you can make a non active relation between the two table and in your DAX formula you can force to use the non active relationship with USERELATIONSHIP
Hope that helps!

BkiUfCPxK0wg05VB9IXr | Getting negative feedback from a client is inevitable. Let's just get that out of the way: you are going to get negative feedback and so is every other interior designer out there. You're not alone. But sometimes it feels like you're alone if you hear anything but rave reviews. It can feel like a giant spotlight is on you. Or like it is written on your face and everyone knows. But none of this is true.
Sadly, negative feedback will probably stick with you much longer than the rave reviews. At least it does for me. In a way, I think this is because we don't expect our clients to have criticism. We expect our clients to love the work we've done for them. This kind of feedback can make you question your talent and maybe even question why you are in interior design.
Below I've detailed some things you can do to deal with negative client feedback.
The most important thing to keep in mind when navigating these waters is to keep calm, cool, and collected. Don't let the criticism set you off when you can't think clearly or if it does, give yourself time to calm down before dealing.
Put on your CEO hat and look at the criticism objectively. Is there any truth to it? Without getting pulled into the drama take a look at the core of the statement. Try to look at the comment as if it wasn't about you or your work. Attempt to push past the anger or frustration in the way it was said and examine the words and intent of the feedback. Here is an example: Client says to Designer, "I hate the sofa, the shape is awful, the cushions are uncomfortable, and the fabric is scratchy and is purple! I know I didn't approve a purple sofa." Now it is up to the Designer to look at that statement at try to find if there is any truth to the statement. Essentially the Client didn't get the sofa they were expecting. Had it been awhile since it had been ordered? Did the client see and test out the sofa before purchase? Did they see the fabric in person? Next to other colors? In what kind of light? Could something else in the room be causing the fabric to look different? In examining the facts behind the negative feedback you will be better equipped to handle the situation. Alternatively, there may be no truth behind their comments because they may just be lashing out at someone.
Is it about the work?
Interior design is personal, you are deeply embedded in client's lives and their private space. Often I see clients take out their frustrations with their spouse, their kids, their mother-in-law or another part of the project out of their designer. When clients feel like some aspect of their life is out of control, they often go for something they feel like they can control at home - their interior design project. True story: There was a designer whose client loved everything and signed off on the final installation. She was raving compliments the whole walk-through. Then when Monday rolled around, the designer received a huge email detailing everything that was wrong. Later the designer found out that the client had her friend over and the friend had criticized the design choices, making the client question them. Grimace. Sometimes there are outside influences at play.
I heard about this from another female entrepreneur. She creates a smile file for when negative feedback happens. The idea is to create a folder in your email where you put all the happy, thankful feedback you receive. All the emails that tell you that you're doing a good job. So when you do receive that inevitable negative feedback you can pour yourself a glass of wine, open your smile file and read through comments of people telling you that you're great. This helps remind you that there is far more positive feedback than negative.
The best thing you can do is to properly set up client expectations. I talk about how to do that in this post. Most issues arise from unmet expectations, there was a disconnect in communication and something turned out differently than what the client had in mind. Expectations on fabric color, on the timeline, on how quickly you'll respond, for how much clients will pay, and the list can be endless. There are unspoken expectations and ones just mentioned in passing. Yes, this makes our job difficult. If you receive negative feedback, I suggest you take a look at it and see what you can do to prevent it in the future. Could you create a system? Maybe update your contract? Perhaps you make sure to tell a client something in the initial meeting. You could create a more in-depth new client questionnaire to help identify expectations and know your client better. Ultimately take a look at the feedback and ask yourself (again with that CEO hat on) What can be done so this doesn't happen again.
Sometimes clients just want to know that they are being heard. The best thing you can do when you receive negative feedback is to acknowledge the way that the client feels (right or wrong this is the way they are feeling at that moment) and be sympathetic to their position. This doesn't mean that you have to agree with them. Just listen and be understanding. Take initiative to fix the issue. I find that usually a call or in-person meeting is better than an email in these situations. Emails can be too impersonal and get misconstrued. Create a plan together to move forward. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUaevxK02iP4Y2sZfF | D2L Shutdown Plan
As part of the University of Iowa's adoption of Canvas as the new LMS that powers ICON, the previous version of ICON (Desire2Learn, aka D2L) was set to read-only mode on July 1st 2017, and will be replaced by the ICON Archive system.
Thursday, June 1, 2017 - 11:22am
As part of the University of Iowa's adoption of Canvas as the new LMS that powers ICON, the previous version of ICON (Desire2Learn, aka D2L) will be replaced by the ICON Archive system,
When the Office of Teaching, Learning & Technology made the move to Canvas (the new LMS that powers ICON), we understood that access to previous Desire2Learn (D2L) content would be of value to instructors. For this reason, the ICON Team has built an ICON Archive system that stores old course content that once lived in D2L. The ICON Archive system will be available near the end of the fall 2017 semester and will include copies of previous courses, as well as instructor and student data.
ICON Archive, located within the ICON Dashboard, will allow course instructors to peruse multiple areas of their courses that previously hosted by D2L. Students wishing to access D2L course content—files they uploaded to the D2L Dropbox, or other information from D2L, they will need to contact their instructors.
Please see this page for what has been archived and what has not been. https://teach.its.uiowa.edu/news/icon-archive-new-home-d2l-course-content
You will also be able to download "instructor content" and import it into a Canvas course.
If you have any questions as we continue to archive D2L content into the ICON Archive system, please contact the ITS Help Desk at its-helpdesk@uiowa.edu or 319-384-4357. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdHU4dbgg5rq9q3fP | After collecting our accreditation credentials, we went straight to the track. Even though on a Friday its mostly free practice, the track was buzzing with activity. On our way there we heard over the news that Regis Laconi had an almighty crash in the first practice session, and that he was airlifted to hospital with broken vertebrae and a head injury.
Once there, we decided to shoot up and into Wesbank corner, which is an off-camber left hand corner with a fast downhill sweep, not dubbed "the mineshaft" for nothing. It was on this fast straight where Laconi came off.
We started off on the inside of turn 2. Normally a very bad place to be early morning having to shoot into the sun, but as it was overcast it wasn't a problem at the time, and being a corner I never had the opportunity to shoot from I embraced the overcast conditions. We proceeded to shoot from various corners as the clouds and light rain was present throughout the day.
For this head-on shot I deliberately set a fast shutter speed since there was no side view of the wheels, and minimal track visible. Thus no need for a slow shutter speed to show movement in wheels and background.
In this side-on panning shot of Johnny Rea I opted for a slow shutter speed to emphasize the sense of motion/speed.
Here Max Biaggi is accelerating out of "the bowl".
In the proceding before the first race we had a few incidents at turn 3, first Max Biaggi went off into the kitty litter and fell right in front of us. Then in the warm up lap of the local 1000cc support race, two riders touched, then crashed and the sparks ignited the fuel when the one bike's fuel spilled.
For the first race we opted for turn 2 and 3 with the sun over our shoulders. There we met up with Simon du Plessis from Action-image, a guy both of us turn to for wisdom and advice.
The second race I decided to move up into "clubhouse", an uphill lefthander. I've seen a few riders lean so low around that corner that their elbows would touch the apex. One of them being South African rider Sheridan Morais lucky enough to be riding with the Kawasaki factory team for the weekend.
Noriyuki "Nitro" Haga went on to win both races, with his team mate Michel Fabrizio second in both.
My 400 f2.8L was at times a bit short on the 1.3 crop 1D MkII body, even with the 1.4x TC attached I struggled to get the riders full frame. I shot the testing sessions last year with a 500 f4L + 1.4x TC and it worked better, since I don't like to crop excessively. For support I used a Manfrotto 681 Pro Monopod, with the Arca Swiss compatible Wimberley QR clamp fitted onto the Manfrotto 234 tilt head. Simon introduced me to the belt pouch when I first started with Sports Photography, and I've used it ever since. Using your hips and bending your knees to compensate for upwards or downwards tilting rather than to move the whole setup forward, and backward when using a monopod on the ground.

BkiUcOg5qhLACAkxAKCg | How Two Young Filmmakers Surfed Across America | #50StatesofArt
Jonno Durrant and Stefan Hunt traveled across the United States with a camera, a rickety ice cream truck, and several surfboards.
by Sami Emory
In the late 2000s, two young Australians traveled across the United States with a camera, a rickety ice cream truck, and an idea. Jonno Durrant and wanted to surf in , document their adventures, and maybe get their names in the . Durrant and Hunt did not, however, set out to make a documentary that would grace film festivals worldwide, garner multiple awards, and lead to further films, TV shows, and commercials. According to them, they were just two "Aussie kooks" up for an adventure.
Stefan Huntall 50 statesGuinness Book of World Records
Surfing 50 States is part indie documentary, part road trip narrative, and part surf flick—with a very broad working definition of the word "surf." While traversing the landlocked states of America's heartland, Durrant and Hunt were compelled to redefine surfing as, "standing on a surfboard with some kind of momentum." This came in handy when it came to surfing down the Rocky Stairs in Philadelphia, over the set of The Wizard of Oz in Kansas, or through a mountainous pile of sugar beets in Idaho.
Durrant and Hunt's film is goofy and lighthearted, with more than its fair share of wipeouts and gangly dance moves. Wherever they go, the two Aussies burrow boyishly down into the hearts of the people they meet, leading them into welcoming homes and local eats.
It was this shade of America that inspired Durrant and Hunt to seek similar experiences in their subsequent co-produced endeavors, Somewhere Near Tapachula , about the life and surf culture of a Mexican orphanage, and Surfing 28 States , an episodic "remake" of their original film across the states of India. As with these two later works, Surfing 50 States casts a hopeful light on the everyday warmness of average people—in this case, Americans—which is why watching Durrant and Hunt's film today, perhaps more than ever, is an unexpectedly redemptive experience.
As part of our year-long project 50 States of Art , Creators caught up with Durrant and Hunt to reflect back on their first film and the experience of America as filmmakers, surfers, and Australians.
Creators: How did you get the idea to surf your way across the US?
Jonno Durrant: We wanted to go to all 50 states and have a challenge, but weren't confident enough with girls for "50 Dates in 50 States."
Stefan Hunt: It was 2005 and I was finishing my final year of high school itching to travel while Jonno was travelling in Portugal and reading Jack Kerouac's On the Road. He hit me up asking if I wanted to travel with him across the U.S.A. to all 50 states the following year. We figured if we completed a challenge in every state—like surfing—we'd make the Guinness Book of World Records, which is every kids dream. We completed the challenge but never made it in the book. Their criteria is pretty tough.
Did you decide before you started that you would be making a film out of the experience?
Durrant: Yep, we bought a good camera, but we had no clue what we were doing. We watched Endless Summer II and Long Way Round for inspiration thinking they were real documentaries.
Hunt: Haha, yeah we were completely green to the world of doc filmmaking, so while the production quality was reasonably poor, the authenticity of Surfing 50 States is so genuine and [this is] why it had such a positive response. Our goal was to document the trip for our friends and family, we had no intention for it to go further than that.
Had you done documentary film work previously?
Durrant: Only filming and editing my mates surfing and making terribly long travel vids. Stefan filmed his mates Extreme Walking (an embarrassing version of parkour).
Hunt: Yeah, I was fresh out of high school so had an extensive collection of homemade VHS, Jackass-inspired videos. Nothing you'd consider proper experience in the film world.
Had either of you spent much time in the US?
Durrant: Stefan had been for a school trip and I'd met a lot of Americans while traveling, so we guessed we had a few floors we could crash on.
Hunt: Prior to the trip I'd spent one month there but growing up consuming US pop culture there was an odd comfort about traveling there. I felt that I already knew the accents, the food, the music, and every NBA team so nothing would be that much of a culture shock. The more you travel there though you begin to discover this other side to the US, which is I why I keep going back.
What were your pre-judgements of the US?
Durrant: We had mostly met really friendly, generous and fun people from the States, but in Australia the reputation is otherwise. So we went to see for ourselves.
Hunt: 2006 were the days of George [W.] Bush so America and its people had such a bad rap. I remember so much of the world stereotyping Americans as close-minded, redneck Bush supporters and that intrigued me to experience it firsthand.
What surprised you about the people, the land, or the culture?
Durrant: So many different environments from, black-sand beaches in Alaska, bright red sand in Arizona, superb Rocky Mountains, rocky coast Maine, palm-lined Cali, and tropical Hawaii!
Hunt: Meeting hospitable, loving humans who were proud to share "their America" with me and finding out they had opposing political views initially shocked me. Having only been exposed to extremist supporters in the media it was so refreshing to know that so much good existed in those people and there is hope for the future.
How did it shape your lasting impression of the country?
Durrant: I now have a wife from Minnesota who lives with me in Melbourne...so I've got a pretty good impression!
Hunt: The USA is an energizer bunny of entertainment and extremes. It's a country of the good, bad, and ugly but beyond all the hype and paparazzi it has some of the most hospitable and good hearted humans I've ever come across.

NSLog(@"Playback: %f", appDelegate.appMusicPlayer.currentPlaybackTime);
I always got "Playback: nan". The application gets the currentPlaybackTime correctly when running (not debugging). The LLDB debugger also gives the correct currentPlaybackTime.
Does anyone know what going on with this property?
A: I would have commented on this but since I don't have enough reputation to do so...

BkiUeqnxK0zjCsHecFgf | SUN VALLEY, Idaho, July 6 (Reuters) - Hulu's current joint owners are seeking the highest possible value in a sale rather than focusing on who a new owner might be, Walt Disney Co Chief Executive Bob Iger said on Wednesday.
The popular online TV video site is jointly owned by Disney, News Corp , Comcast Corp's NBC Universal and private-equity firm Providence Equity Partners.
The owners have agreed to put the site up for sale. Disney and News Corp recently renewed new programming licenses to aid that process.
Iger said all the owners are committed to selling the site, but declined to comment on the timing of a deal.
"I don't think it matters to us, we just need to get the best value," Iger told Reuters on the sidelines of the Allen & Co conference attended by some of the biggest names in technology, media and deal financing.
The owners have begun preliminary sales talks with about a dozen potential buyers, including Google Inc and Microsoft Corp a source familiar with the situation said last week. . | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

The Green Wave: a new breed of eco-councillors
With more than half of the seats now filled in the local elections, it is clear that a Green Wave has washed over Ireland.
While the traditional twin power players of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail have so far racked up half of the first preference votes, the Greens have easily seen the most significant bounce in the share of the vote compared to 2014.
With 35 councillors elected so far, Kayle Crosson takes a look at some of the eco-friendly faces elected to local authorities across the country.

Ciaran Cuffe
Dublin City Councillor Ciaran Cuffe is now re-elected in the North Inner City district with 1,386 votes and is currently on track to secure the largest share of votes in the Dublin MEP constituency.
He has previously served two terms in the Dail and was a Minister of State, where he was responsible for Climate Change, Planning, and Sustainable Transport. Cuffe is also the party Spokesperson for Transport & Cities.
In addition, he co-chaired the committee that established the Climate Change Action Plan 2019 – 2024 for Dublin City Council.
Cuffe has consistently campaigned on investment in public transport and wants to bring Dublin City Council homes from a D to an A energy rating.
Speaking on Claire Byrne Live, Cuffe also said he would like to see the introduction of free public transport, starting with children. "I'd move onto reduced fairs, and eventually, make it free," he said.
He has also proposed allowing for the sale of surplus electricity generated by homes, business and farms back to the grid.

Claire Byrne has been re-elected as a Dublin City Councillor with almost 2,000 first preference votes, and will retain her seat in Dublin South East Inner City. She is also the Green Party spokesperson for Arts & Culture.
Byrne has expressed her intention to "continue to create a clean, vibrant, green and climate-ready city" if re-elected as well as to "create a safe, calm, cycling and child-friendly city".
As a councillor, she introduced a ban on single-use plastics in Council offices, cafes in parks and public events, and helped to deliver the new climate action plan for Dublin City.
She also pushed for measures to address litter and dog waste, advocated for trials of public recycling bins and drinking water fountains, and monitored the activity of the Poolbeg Waste to Energy facility through the Council's environment planning committee.
Byrne also recently secured an agreement for 900 social and affordable homes and has proposed motions to introduce rent controls.
In addition, as a councillor Byrne also reintroduced a cycling and walking officer for Dublin City and proposed the pedestrianisation of Suffolk, South William, and Drury Street.
If you asked us after that nasty letter if we thought @Costellop would get elected we would have said unlikely since we genuinely thought so.

Patrick Costello
With over 20 per cent of the Kimmage-Rathmines vote, the Green Party's Patrick Costello has been re-elected to the City Council. A former social worker, Costello is the Party's spokesperson for Social Protection.
Costello campaigned for sustainable transport, particularly in relation to walking and safe, affordable cycling. He argues that it allows Dublin to play its part in tackling climate change, as well allowing a cleaner, more accessible place to live. He has also advocated for a "strong executive mayor" to deliver on public transport.
In order to reduce daily traffic, Costello has proposed creating "school streets" which would allow streets with entrances to schools open only to cyclists and pedestrians at opening and closing school times.
Costello pledged that if re-elected he will push for public housing on public land and to work on the city's Climate Action Plan.
"And I want to see the Council equip its own buildings with micro-generation technologies to reduce its carbon use, and help reduce costs," Costello recently wrote on his candidate website. "A Green voice at the Council is essential," he added.
So it seems quota is 2051 & I got 4069 first preferences out of 12,598 votes. So that's 33.3% of the votes. #Pembroke #Dublin #Internet I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ you!!!!

BkiUbsA5qoTDt1xDZ2c5 | I don't watch much TV but I do know how some talk shows are run. I watched how Pam and Linda were treated on Leeza. I talked to both of them after the show and they are sorry they made the effort to be heard in that format. I had never heard the Erin Hart show but I have heard the Peter Boyles show and I know how he treats HIS guests - especially those he disagrees with. Why would any sane person volunteer to do THAT to themselves? I certainly would NOT.
Lance approached me and said he wanted a show with both sides represented. I said no, thanks. He persisted. What were my concerns? He really wanted both sides there. I told him my concerns. I would not go on a show where I would be cut short or screamed over. I would not enter a "pis*ing contest" with the forum flamers. I was willing to go on and talk to him, I was not interested in talking to people like Beanie and gsquared.
You have a problem with that? Tough.
And yes, Lance did announce early in the shows that they were to be respectful, informational and not confrontational.
You ask why he didn't ask where the name "jameson" came from. I don't know. I would have answered. No secret. Um - was it because I am John Ramsey and my father's name was James? or was it really that I am John Ramsey and JA (is) ME SON ? Maybe it was because we live near BURKE County! Seriously, it is the same name I used for years, well before the murder. Nothing "Ramsey" about it.
You said, " you are passing off your POV and at the top of your TimeLine you should clearly state that." I do, quite clearly. Official documents are in blue. News reports are in black and my personal comments are in brown. Perhaps you should read before you criticize.
change to: As far as what Dave or Lance said about the Redd Herring site - I don't tell Dave or Lance what to say............I do believe Lance had said that his favorite site WAS the Redd Herring site. He said he "thought it was the best Ramsey site."
You said, "Last year when posters asked you about your personal involvement in the next documentary, you, yourself posted ...... "The project is not about me as a poster, why I am following the case. It is not about "Ramsey Forums" or on-line wars. It is not about the TimeLine. None of these things deserve media attention, IMO. I wouldn't be involved if that was what they wanted." This is true - the documentary is not about me or the TimeLine. We are involved, but not the subject. The post was a response to many flame posts demanding to know why I was the subject of a documentary - why wasn't anyone else called. Well, I am NOT the subject of the documentary.
You ask why I am "plugging the TimeLine". Well, why not? I didn't say it doesn't deserve media attention. I said it wasn't the basis for the documentary.
You want an explanation from me as to why I went on Dave Lucas' show after criticizing the "Snoop Sisters" for going on Leeza? Nope, I owe you no explanation. I have my reasons and owe no one an accounting.
You wanted a show with both POV represented? Mrs. Brady was on, Chris was on, Dr. Hodges was on, Darnay Hoffman was on, The "lie guy" was on. I think the show was balanced. I appreciate the fact that it was a controlled show. Everyone had his/her time to speak unmolested. Apparently, you like confrontational shows. I don't. I rather listen to everyone speak so I can decide for myself what they have to offer.
You said I am too involved with this case. OK, whatever.
You don't like me promoting my TimeLine or POV. OK, I can live with that.
I do not owe anyone here an explanation. And I am not about to start pretending I do.
I understood that everyone was going to be invited on the program to discuss their own involvement on the net. Basically there was a list of questions that Claudia and Chris answered and I was asked the same questions. I understood that the different forums and their flavors would be discussed. Nothing wrong with that. But I also understood that it was not going to be a "Jerry Springer" type show where there would be lies and accusations against other posters.
I agreed to go on a show that was informational, not confrontational. Dminor was calling into the confrontational show and knew just what she was doing. | c4 | 1 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

Survival for Bay Area artists gets tougher all the time. You need talent, but more importantly you need chutzpah, ingenuity and the ability to improvise and adapt.
Favianna Rodriguez has all of that. At 22, she opened her own web design business. She took workshops on the business of art, learned how to craft a strategic plan and a budget, and bought Apple stock in 2007, reaping a tidy return on her investment.
Artist Favianna Rodriguez prepares colorful pieces of paper to create a new collage piece at her studio space in Oakland.
She works in a variety of media: printmaking, collage, installations, jewelry and textiles. Rodriguez also runs a nonprofit called Culture Strike, which empowers artists to advocate through their work for immigrant rights, racial justice and combatting climate change.
"I have three full-time workers, and I pay health insurance, too," Rodriguez said.
One staffer books the 20-odd speaking engagements that Rodriguez does each year, flying cross-country to colleges and foundations to talk about the role of art in social justice and the importance of bringing art to communities of color and women.
"Like any artist, I have to do other things," Rodriguez said.
Grants and fellowships sometimes keep her afloat.
Artist Favianna Rodriguez arranges colorful pieces of paper to create a new collage piece at her studio space in Oakland.
An Oakland native, Rodriguez lives in the Fruitvale neighborhood house where she grew up. She bought it from her parents in 2014 after a successful fundraising campaign.
Although she identifies strongly with her mother, Margarita, as a fellow entrepreneur and strong survivor, Rodriguez says much of her life is mystifying to her mother: her politics; her queer identity; her use of the gender-neutral term Latinx instead of Latina; her choice to not marry or have children.
Favianna Rodriguez prepares to create a collage at her studio. It was a revelation for her to discover Latin-American art.
In high school, she says, "they were not teaching me about artists who looked like me or that had anything political. The artists I was learning about were, like, Rembrandt and Monet and Matisse. White male European artists." It wasn't until she went to Mexico at age 12 and spent a year living with her uncle that Rodriguez discovered Latin American artists.
Rodriguez dropped out after three years, and won an internship at the Center for the Study of Political Graphics in Los Angeles, a large archive of political posters. "I saw work from the women's rights movement; posters on segregation; posters from the Chinese Revolution, the Cuban Revolution, Paris in 1968. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

I don't use notifications for anything (that I am aware of). How do I stop the sound?
The weirdest thing is that I can't find evidence of anyone else having problems with this.

Uncheck it to silent your Mac. Regarding iPhone, there is no such option until and unless you've set the notifications for an app to behave like that.
Please check the image below for reference
A: One possibility ... in OS X
in System Preferences > Date & Time > Clock, you can set such notifications.
A: If your "Date & Time" setting isn't set to "Announce", the culprit could be a login item. In Systems Preferences, go to Users & Groups, and then Login Items for your user. In my case, I found that someone had long ago installed something called Cuckoo which chimed on the hour.

BkiUbAU5qoYDgbhImAXQ | Search warrant affidavit sufficient to establish probable cause in child pornography case despite deficiencies
In United States v. Miknevich, 09-3059 (March 1, 2011), the Third Circuit was asked to determine whether an affidavit prepared by a law enforcement officer in child pornography case supported the district court's finding of probable cause. Defendant was charged with possession of child pornography after police executed a search warrant at his home and seized his computer. He entered a conditional guilty plea, reserving the right to challenge the district court's probable cause determination on appeal. In challenging the sufficiency of the affidavit, the defendant noted the following deficiencies: (1) the affidavit did not indicate that any investigating officer actually downloaded the suspect video file, (2) the affidavit did not indicate that anyone, including any other officers or the magistrate judge, ever actually viewed the suspect file, and (3) the affidavit contained no description of the suspected images or actions in the file.
While the Third Circuit agreed that parts of the affidavit were "imprecise" and "inartfully drafted," it nevertheless found that, even given the infirmities identified, the affidavit still contained information sufficient to support a finding of probable cause. The Court rejected any suggestion that a magistrate judge must review the contents of the actual files or that a search warrant must include copies of the images giving rise to the request for the warrant in order for probable cause to be established. Nor does the investigating officer necessarily need to review the images himself, although this remains, in the Court's view, the best procedure for investigating officers to follow. Instead, the Court found that the title of the computer file at issue, which contained highly graphic references to specific graphic sexual acts involving "6yo" and "7yo" children, coupled with the file's SHA 1 value (i.e., a digital fingerprint identifying the file as one known to contain images of child pornography), provided the magistrate judge with a substantial basis for finding probable cause to issue a search warrant. Accordingly, the Third Circuit affirmed the defendant's conviction and sentence.

BkiUbkrxK2li-DeXyoem | An artistic climate in which technological progression has forced photography to enter a (relatively) new phase of its development, namely the digital, the medium itself is faced with the possibility to re-evaluate its means and modes of production. Through self-critique and self-reflection it is possible for photography to do this. What is the medium-specific character of photography? Why do artists choose this medium and what forms of meaning can photography produce in a contemporary art context? | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUa7bxK4tBVhat11cB | Description Historical plaque located in the entrance corridor of Sumner Hall. Plaque reads: "Sumner Hall - In honor of her singular devotion and unfaltering courage during the early years of struggle which gave this college birth and character, this building, since the year 1893, has borne the name of Mary Louisa Stedman Sumner wife of Charles Burt Sumner. Erected in 1887 as a hotel in the prospective town of Claremont and located at that time on the western edge of what is now Marston Quadrangle, this building became the first home of Pomona College in 1889. With repeated additions and modifications it at first housed all the activities of the college, later was the residence and dining hall of the entire student body and then for many years was the sole women's dormitory. The original structure was rebuilt upon this site in the year 1922 by friends of the college who desired to perpetuate the influences here established and made sacred by these associations." | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUfmY25V5jS9ZhZbnd | One Direction's "Best Song Ever" is a power pop song released on July 22nd, 2013 as the lead single of Midnight Memories. The band members of One Direction are Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, and Louis Tomlinson. They received a total of 137 nominations and 76 awards, including Billboard Music Awards and MTV Video Music Awards, and set a Guinness World Record. The song alone won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Song of Summer, was nominated for a Rockbjörnen prize for Best International Song, and is pending for World Music Awards for World's Best Song and World's Best Video. The accompanying music video broke the VEVO 24 hour record with 12.3 million views and currently has over 133 million views on YouTube.
The first thing the viewer would recognize in both the lyrics and the music video is that the members of One Direction are singing about their youthful experience of being in love and enjoying being young. Overall, the lyrics can be interpreted as a story about the boys falling in love with a girl and dancing with her all night, and the music video can be interpreted as the band members simply having fun and being themselves. However, the music video, with the lyrics, sends an important message to Hollywood, society, and their fans (the Directioners). Throughout the music video, One Direction deconstructs the way Hollywood and society has become throughout the music video and the lyrics. The primary purpose of the music video is to show what Hollywood has become, and that the members of One Direction will not let themselves become puppets of Hollywood management.
In the lyrics and the music video, the explicit argument is mostly about being young and truly happy. The lyrics describe a scene where the girl is telling the boy that he has a dirty mouth, most likely as in talking dirty, but she kisses him anyway. This represents the idea of general teenagers' concept of being young and having fun no matter what. One Direction also shows their way of true happiness throughout the music video. When the members of One Direction vandalize the offices, their facial expressions clearly show that they are having a blast. Towards the end of the music video, the choreography is rather lightly structured and playful. One Direction again shows bright facial expressions while dancing, displaying that different from other boy bands that are more serious, the One Direction members know how to enjoy being young and be truly happy.
The very first thing that can be seen when the music video starts is the Hollywood landmark. This is symbolical because One Direction is showing the way Hollywood and society has become and breaking it down and walking staying away from it. The music video begins at a Hollywood office where two executives are talking to each other; one of them is boasting about what happened between him and Angelina Jolie. This shows that society has come to believe that money can do anything and everything including buying happiness and success, because obviously, the two executives do not have a single thing to put in front of them other than the fact that they make millions of dollars in a snap. When the assistant walks in to tell the executives that One Direction is here to discuss the new movie, they do not know who One Direction is, but they let them in anyway because they know they will make money off of them. This, again, shows that all society thinks about is money. Throughout the meeting, One Direction points out that even through all of the pressure upon them; they remain true to their original identities. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 3 |
BkiUcerxK1ThhCdy7tLE | Ouch! The I Want You Gets All Beat Up
In Boston Bands, Indie Music
Have you ever felt that life just keeps punching you in the face? Jim Gerdeman of the Boston band The I Want You knows that feeling well. Their new song "All Beat Up" was written as part of the annual RPM Challenge that has artists writing and recording an entire album in the month of February. The video portrays singer/songwriter Jim Gerdeman getting the sh*t kicked out of him. But no worries, kids, this was an entirely artistic and not physical brawl, conceived and directed by the band's 8-string bassist and producer Blake Girndt (who is also a member of Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys. The video features some very realistic and disturbing "makeup" from violence artiste JoJo Lazar (also of the Broken Toys). It's upsetting to watch, but as the protagonist readily admits, it's his own fault.
As Gerdeman explains,
In a world of so much conflict and social media hosility I think it's easier than ever to feel beat up by it all. But for me personally I tend to beat myself up worst of all and it's impossible to get a restraining order on oneself.
The latest incarnation of The I Want You includes Gerdeman on vocals, Girdnt on 8-string bass, Jeff Norcross(Weisstronauts, Betty Goo, Paula Kelley) on guitar and drummer Chris Walsh(Speedfossil, Bittter Bastids). They'll be releasing more singles and videos in the coming months. You can see their other inventive videos on YouTube.
You'll find the "All Beat Up" single on Bandcamp, along with two interesting B-sides. "Come On' was inspired by the Marjory Stoneman Douglas students in Florida and their gun control activism, while "The Rise and Fall" is a very clever tribute to David Bowie. It's a comprehensive biography in song that encorporates elements of his life, music and stylistic phases. Very nicely done, boys.

BkiUeCE5qYVBjcNb2ay1 | NIGP | News/Resources » Periscope Holdings, Inc.
Today's blog was written by Ryan Moore, Periscope's Director of Product Management. It is the first in a series of blog posts about the Digital Services Playbook created by the U.S. Digital Service, a team focused on improving and simplifying the digital experience that people and businesses have with their government.
In 2013 the Federal government launched one of the cornerstone initiatives under President Obama, HealthCare.gov. The ambitious website was plagued with early technical problems, and it quickly became evident that the old-school practices for expensive development projects were not compatible with building highly technical digital systems in the ever evolving information technology landscape. As a result of these early stumbles, the Administration sought out those in the private sector that had the skills and experience to both turnaround HealthCare.gov, and to proactively lead the public sector in the fast paced digital services environment.
Providing accountability to ensure agencies see results.
In an effort to achieve this mission, in August the Administration released the Digital Services Playbook, a guidebook for agencies and developers that lays out 13 best practices that will help deliver more value from the digital products and services we all heavily rely upon today.
As thought leaders at the intersection between technology and public procurement, Periscope has been an early adopter in the move towards more agile and lean development practices. We were excited to see this acknowledgement that agile development and the government sector not only can be compatible, but are actually the best practice for building digital services that bring the most value for every dollar spent.
Over the next few months, Periscope will be highlighting some of the key plays in the Digital Services Playbook that help drive our day-to-day decision making. We hope to use this opportunity to educate our clients and partners on how these plays can be used to build better eProcurement solutions. We also want to establish a dialogue with other procurement professionals and to hear your feedback on how these plays are working, so we can continue to improve the products and processes you use every day.
Please check back in two weeks for the next blog in this series which will explore how Periscope is using these plays as we work with our clients and partners to eradicate waste and maximize the value of every dollar spent.
You can click here to read all of the blogs in this series. When you think about your future as a procurement professional, which skills and capabilities will you focus on developing?
Periscope works with procurement professionals every day, and we are in awe of your diverse skills and expertise. We applaud your hard work and leadership, and we stand with you.
Last week the Austin Business Journal hosted the Fast 50 Reception & Awards Presentation. The ABJ Fast 50 list recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in Central Texas. In order to qualify for the Fast 50, companies must show dramatic revenue growth over the past three years. Revenue numbers are verified by a third party, and the companies are then ranked in 2 categories – above $10 million in revenue and under $10 million in revenue.
Periscope ranked #12 on the Fast 50 list of companies with more than $10 million in revenue, with an annual compounded growth rate of 56.3% between 2011 and 2013. Our raw growth rate during that timeframe was 144%. We are honored to be recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in the fastest growing U.S. economy.
How have we achieved this level of success after 13 years in business? The #1 key to Periscope's growth is our steadfast focus on our purpose. Going through the process of understanding our purpose rapidly accelerated our growth. It was truly a turning point for our organization. We now grasp the power of what we do – we sell more than just eProcurement software and services that transform public procurement; we sell a reason to take action. We focus on helping our customers – states, counties, cities, school districts, special districts, non-profits, and institutions of higher education – recognize that the savings they realize from our solutions can be reinvested in achieving their organization's purpose. Knowing your purpose is powerful, and it has profoundly impacted the way we approach our work.

A newly released report from Meals on Wheels America and Quantified Ventures, supported by Nonprofit Finance Fund, Effective Partnerships Between Community-Based Organizations and Healthcare: A Possible Path to Sustainability describes a first-in-kind attempt to develop a Pay for Success project between a Medicare Advantage plan and Meals on Wheels America. The project resulted in the Medicare Advantage plan paying for the Meals on Wheels services directly, bypassing the need for the Pay for Success approach. The process of methodically structuring the Pay for Success project led Meals on Wheels to build the trust and confidence with the Medicare Advantage plan required for a direct contract – which is the main goal of Pay for Success.
This experience unearthed previously unknown challenges and enablers of how Medicare Advantage plans can creatively finance, through Pay for Success and other outcomes-based financing approaches, initiatives focused on prevention and addressing the social determinants of health.
Join Grantmakers In Aging as we explore these learnings and provide tactical guidance for how social service providers and health plans can partner to push forward this important work. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbSzxK0wg09KOVNHn | This was a cool moment in the new Avengers trailer, Hawkeye appears to have embraced his dark side and become Ronin. I'm assuming that his family were dusted in the snap.
In the comic books this happens after Civil War, it's a samurai term and generally means going at it alone. Looks like he's after a particular person or group in the trailer.
He does go back to Hawkeye in the comic books but it'll be interesting to see where it takes him in the movies and his relationship with black widow.

Hi my name is Sabrina and I work at Town & Country Gardens. I just wanted to let you know I was delivering a wedding at prominent St.Charles hotel today, and your employee Eric was also delivering.

Midwest Salt has been our 'go to' salt supplier for all of our N. Illinois locations. Fast, hassel free, great prices and always on time delivery, are just a few reasons Midwest Salt is the Best!
It has been my pleasure to conduct business with Johnny Angulo of Midwest Salt for the last few years and hope to continue to do so in the future. Johnny has continually gone the extra mile for me when everyone else was too busy during the season. He returns calls promptly, doesn't attempt to sell me products I don't want, always works hard to secure the best possible prices for me and always follows through to make sure that I'm happy with the end result. He is now the first person I call during the "crazy salt season" and I see no reason to change it.
Two years ago, I received a contact from Tony, who at the time was trying to expand the brand of Midwest Salt. Always being interested in new distributors to expand my availability of resources, I decided that it would be worth giving them some of our business. It has by far been one of the best decisions I have made and I rely on them heavily throughout the winter season. Not only is Tony friendly and professional, but he and the entire Midwest staff go above and beyond to "make it happen" for their customers. Their product selection and availability are fantastic and they have bailed me out multiple times when there is an unexpected and rapid drop in my inventories. They truly understand their customers and will do whatever is possible to be sure I am satisfied. I would recommend Midwest Salt to anyone because of their great products and ability to get me what I need, even when the market is strained.

BkiUbYE5i7PA9AjsOcbk | RSVP for Stephen Fletcher Lecture!
In collaboration with The North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Curated by George Dimock.
Light and Air: The Photography of Bayard Wootten makes a strong case for Wootten as North Carolina's most versatile, prolific, and culturally significant photographer in the first half of the twentieth century. These images – modern prints made from her original large-format negatives selected from The North Carolina Collection Photographic Archives (UNC-Chapel Hill) -- reveal her to have been inspired by the American pictorialist movement. They consist of landscapes, portraits, and genre scenes set in her native North Carolina and neighboring states. Additional photographs depict the Cone Mills in the 1930s thereby underscoring her ties to Greensboro where she kept a studio from 1925 to 1927. Bayard Wootten's pictures are delicately poised between photography's technological imperative to authoritatively represent things as they are and her life-long commitment to use the camera as a means of artistic expression.
Stephen J. Fletcher is the North Carolina Collection Photographic Archivist in Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Prior to his appointment at UNC in February 2003, he worked in curatorial positions at the California Historical Society and the Indiana Historical Society. He also worked as a consultant to the Sierra Club, organizing and providing access to its library's photographic collection. Fletcher received a BFA in Photographic Illustration in 1982 from the Rochester Institute of Technology. He began his archival/curatorial career in 1981 while attending RIT through three independent studies and as a summer employee at the International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. He then attended the John F. Kennedy University's Center for Museum Studies in San Francisco, obtaining his MA in 1992. Fletcher is an active leader with the Visual Materials Section of the Society of American Archivists, having twice chaired the section. He is also a member of the Steering Committee of the Photographic and Audiovisual Archives Working Group of the International Council on Archives. Fletcher is also an active photographer; he is a member of Visual Artists Exchange in Raleigh, and has an exhibition title "Some Semblance" at The Framers Corner in Carrborro, N.C.
The cataloguers and archivists of the Wootten collection faced the daunting task of preserving, storing, organizing, and identifying over 600,000 prints and negatives. They had neither the time nor the resources to research this particular group of images. Wootten, herself, was known to be lackadaisical in her labeling and dating. Proximity Manufacturing Company was, at one time, the corporate name embracing a diverse array of Cone Mills enterprises. We would like to know more. Which mills are these – White Oak, Revolution, Proximity? Who are the workers depicted here? When, precisely, were these photographs made? What technical aspects of the manufacturing process are being enacted? The Greensboro community constitutes a vast resource of local knowledge. We invite you, the audience -- local informants with knowledge of the textile industry, family histories, and personal memories -- to contribute to our evolving understanding and appreciation of these images. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUezQ5qhLBeMNHluZd | Bike donation, giveaway encourages young readers
Dylan Savela, Manistee News Advocate
KALEVA — An active body deserves an active mind, certainly in childhood.
Through the generosity of an anonymous donor, the Manistee County Library's Kaleva branch has 10 bicycles to give away to active young readers in the area.
"It seemed unbelievable at first," said Kaleva branch manager Pamela Papenfuss, who recently received a call from a resident proposing a bicycle giveaway that encourages local children to visit their local library and increase their reading at home.
"It's not every day someone just drops this sort of kindness into the library's lap," Papenfuss said, "but the library seeks to be a center of community, and (the donor) has opened this opportunity to kids across the county by going through us."
While wanting to remain anonymous, the donor wishes to credit Kmart for selling the 10 Pacific-brand multi-gear bikes (five boys and five girls in various sizes) at a discounted rate in the name of the proposed project.
Papenfuss said the giveaway is simple: any child with a Manistee County Library card, along with their guardian, may fill out a simple entry form after completing a book, submit it to the Kaleva branch — located at 14618 Walta St. in Kaleva — and that will serve as a ticket in the upcoming drawing for the bicycles, which will be spaced out throughout this year and next. There is no limit to the amount of entries a child turns in.
The Kaleva branch will be closed today through Oct. 12 for a re-carpeting project, but the first bike drawing (for one boys bike and one girls) will be held Oct. 19. The rest of the fleet will be given away (two a month) from May through August as part of the 2017 Manistee County Library Summer Reading Program.
"It was a nice surprise and an incredible gesture on their part," said Manistee County Library director Chuck Haemker of the donor. "We hope that the recipients will appreciate the gift, which is twofold.
"The first is the bike, obviously, but the other is the gift of reading and the important role it plays in their lives," he said. "It's good for us to know that people out there care about the kids and their reading, without wanting the personal recognition directed their way."
Papenfuss said the program has already had an impact.
"Since we displayed the first two bikes two weeks ago, I've had 10 new children get library cards," she said. "My entry boxes are just stuffed to the gills. This bit of kindness is already working."
The program also honors the library's roots and purpose in the community.
"Computers and Wi-Fi are obviously wonderful reasons for people to visit," Papenfuss said, "but we never want to get away from the beginnings of a library, which is the magic of reading a book.
"There is nothing that increases literacy as much as reading and discussing a book with a child," she said. "I hope to see our readership and our literacy increase as a result of this."

Nana Confirmed To Join Go Hyun Jung In New Webtoon-Based Drama
by L. Kim
Nana will be joining Go Hyun Jung in the upcoming drama "Mask Girl" (literal title)!
"Mask Girl" is based on the webtoon of the same name which gained great popularity for its unique characters and refreshing plot. The drama will be about an ordinary employee named Kim Mo Mi who is insecure about her looks. Every night, Kim Mo Mi is active as an internet broadcasting jockey (BJ) who works while covering her face with a mask. "Mask Girl" depicts Kim Mo Mi's turbulent life story that unfolds when she unintentionally gets swept up in an incident.
Previously, it was confirmed that Go Hyun Jung, Ahn Jae Hong, and Yeom Hye Ran will be starring in the series. Go Hyun Jung will be playing the leading role of Kim Mo Mi. Ahn Jae Hong will be playing Kim Mo Mi's coworker Joo Oh Nam who harbors a one-sided crush on her, and Yeom Hye Ran will be taking on the role of Joo Oh Nam's mom Kim Kyung Ja.
Nana will also be starring as Kim Mo Mi. She will play the Kim Mo Mi who has changed her appearance beyond recognition after being involved in an unexpected incident, and Go Hyun Jung will play the Kim Mo Mi who races towards another goal after some time. The two actresses will present the same role with different styles, creating an intriguing character.
In addition, a rookie female actress will take on the role of Kim Mo Mi, who works as a BJ by hiding her face due to inferiority complex, in the beginning of the story. Expectations are high for Kim Mo Mi, who will be expressed by three very different actresses, and her unpredictable, tense story.
"Mask Girl" will be helmed and written by director Kim Yong Hoon, who won the Tiger Competition special jury award at the 49th International Film Festival Rotterdam for his crime thriller "Beasts Clawing at Straws." The series will be produced by Bon Factory of "True Beauty," "Encounter," "What's Wrong With Secretary Kim," "Master's Sun," and more.
The series will be released via Netflix.
Are you excited for this new drama?
In the meantime, watch Nana in "Into the Ring":

BkiUak3xK5YsWTJsNObb | Q: Is visual inspection the only way to compare large datasets? I have two large data sets, in fact, one of them is even much larger than the other.
Visually, there doesn't seem to be that much difference between them:
The actual data underlying the box plot isn't normally distributed and doesn't normalise well to transformations. They are roughly the same distribution (i.e. the YES and NO distributions for each algorithm), but the large data size differences make other tests a bit useless. I have applied the Two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, however this is probably wrong and it gives extremely significant results.
My questions are:
1) Do statistical tests on large datasets produce significant results given even slight differences between the two samples? The 'slightness' being magnified given huge data points.
2) Is visual inspection better with large datasets rather than applying non-parametric and parametric tests in which certain underlying assumptions may be violated.
3) For this data, what is the best course of action?
Edit
My data has structure like :
My data is of the form:
Name Bind miRNA
a 300 NO
b 500 YES
c 140 YES
d 2345 NO
A: *
*Yes. This is one key problem with standard goodness-of-fit tests on large datasets.
*I would prefer visual inspection, as well as measures of effect size. Even if there is a large overlap in distributions, a 15% improvement in some KPI may be very useful. I wouldn't care too much about specific distributions, depending on your specific application. In addition, boxplots are rather crude ways of displaying data. Here are a few alternatives.
*Hard to say, since we don't know your data... My suggestion about effect sizes may already be helpful.
A: There is nothing wrong with statistical summaries of large data sets. If a method would be appropriate with N = 100 then it is appropriate with N = 100,000 or 100,000,000.
There is, however, something wrong with how most people interpret p-values. The answer to your first question is "yes", but that answer is just another indication that you should look at effect size, not p value.
Regarding your second question: Visual inspection is critical with large or small data sets. But numeric comparison is very useful with both, as well. Their utility is not a function of data set size.
Regarding your third question: Use both visual and numeric comparisons. Choose both the visual and numeric method that 1) are suited to your data and 2) are suited to the questions you want to ask about your data.
A: I suggest summarizing the difference with a general robust measure that does not depend on normality: the concordance probability that comes from the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney two-sample test. The concordance proportion estimates the probability that a randomly chosen value from group A exceeds a randomly chosen value from group B. This can be generalized to your "pairing of pairs" setting in which you can estimate the probability that method 1 provides measurements that are "more concordant" between A and B than method 2 does. This is implemented in the R Hmisc package rcorrp.cens function.

BkiUdOg4uzlgqEf1TLNN | Here are a few tips and techniques to make open water angling both enjoyable. And safe.
Pick your spots – Winter angling is best enjoyed when the temperature is hovering around zero or a little higher. When the air temperature is too cold ice formation on your rod guides inevitably occurs making casting difficult. While angling is best during the warmest part of the day when fish are most active.
Ice is always going to be an issue. Be aware of ridges, overhangs and drifting ice pans. A mid-winter dunking can not only be uncomfortable, it can be downright dangerous. Know your limits and err on the side of caution.
Go Slow or Go Home – Slow down presentations and retrieves in winter. Get your flies right on the fishes' noses. Be patient. Even if you don't catch something open water angling in January is almost like cheating.
Read the Regs – There are many different closures and other restrictions on winter fisheries that aren't around in the summer months.
Layer Up – Keeping warm in a cold climate is one of the great challenges of winter angling. Waders should be neoprene but breathables work too. Layering is the key and extra socks are a must.
A pair of fingerless gloves are an essential assets to keeping your hands warm yet still allowing the delicate finger work needed for changing flies, etc.
Freedom of movement is also important so a combo of underwear, shirts and fleeces is far better for mobility than one bulky parka.
Attitude Adjustment – Look, it's Christmas week, you shouldn't really be doing this. But you've got a rod in your hand, a silky river is flowing by you and there's a good possibility you might catch a fish. You're already ahead of the game anyway. Enjoy the moment.
If your strike indicator jerks and there's something solid throbbing at the other end, consider that a bonus. You've already beaten the odds by getting out at all. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdzo4eIOjR8Kl4U8g | Hamas Wants a Ceasefire but Israel Looks for a "Cure, Not a Band-Aid"
by Steve Balestrieri May 20, 2021
International diplomatic calls for a ceasefire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict increased on Thursday after U.S. President Joe Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday morning. In their call, Biden said that he "expected a significant de-escalation today on the path to a ceasefire," according to a release from the White House.
Hamas's Two Demands for a Ceasefire
A senior official in the Hamas terrorist organization predicted that a ceasefire could take place within days. Hamas has laid out two demands that they insist upon before they stop launching rockets at Israel. Both of their demands center around the city of Jerusalem.
First, Israeli forces and police must agree to never again enter the Al-Aqsa mosque. At the beginning of the violence, Israeli police arrested several Palestinians at the mosque. Second, that Palestinians living in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in disputed east Jerusalem not be evicted from the homes their families have lived in since the 1950s.
Hamas's second demand is a sticky one.
Palestinians have been living in the six homes in question for nearly 70 years. However, Jewish people were able to document to Israeli courts that they were living there and owned the houses prior to the 1948 birth of the state of Israel. Additionally, the Arabs are being forced out due to not paying rent.
Moussa Abu Marzouk, a Hamas political official said that an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire would succeed.
"I expect a ceasefire to be reached within a day or two, and the ceasefire will be on the basis of mutual agreement."
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel won't stop conducting airstrikes against Gaza until the lives of Israelis are safeguarded. (File photo)
A Cure Not a Band-Aid
Nevertheless, Netanyahu and the Israelis remain steadfast in their view that their operations should continue until their goals are met.
"With every passing day we are striking at more of the terrorist organizations' capabilities, targeting more senior commanders, toppling more terrorist buildings, and hitting more weaponry stockpiles," Netanyahu said.
"[I am] determined to continue this operation until its objective is achieved: to restore quiet and security to you, citizens of Israel," the Israeli prime minister added.
Israel's Ambassador to the U.S. and UN Gilad Erdan was even more forceful in his remarks. In an interview with CBS, he said that the UN should, "condemn strongly the launching of missiles and rockets at our civilians and they should back Israel's efforts to degrade and dismantle the Hamas terror machine." He added, "unfortunately, as we know, this is not what will happen."
Erdan said, "They are looking for a ceasefire, but we are looking for a cure and not a Band-Aid."
Intelligence Minister Eli Cohen denied that a ceasefire was imminent on Israeli radio KAN. "No. We are definitely seeing very significant international pressure… we will finish the operation when we decide we have attained our goals."

A Beleaguered Hamas
The Israelis continue pounding Hamas-run Gaza with airstrikes, targeting Hamas military HQs, rocket launcher positions, weapons depots, underground tunnels, and the homes of Hamas's commanders.
Their actions indicate that they want to deter the terrorist group from being able to conduct offensive operations for quite some time.
Read Next: Biden Urges Ceasefire to Netanyahu as Democrats Step Up Anti-Israel Rhetoric
However, since Hamas surrounds itself with the civilian population, the cost of targeting the group gets increasingly higher. Since hostilities began on May 10, officials in Gaza claim that 230 Palestinians, including 65 children and 39 women, have been killed and more than 1,700 wounded in airstrikes. Israeli losses are 12 dead and 336 wounded.
Hamas has launched about 4,000 rockets from Gaza at Israel in the past 11 days. However, some of their rockets have fallen short, hitting their own population areas while most are shot down by Israeli Iron Dome air defense systems.
Will a Ceasefire With Hamas Achieve Anything Lasting?
While Washington and several Middle Eastern countries, notably Egypt, have sought an end to the violence through diplomacy, any ceasefire is unlikely to address the fundamental issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
At its core, it is difficult to hammer out a peace agreement when the Palestinians who are seeking a country without Israeli interference, steadfastly reject Israel's right to exist.
Furthermore, having Gaza run by Hamas, a terrorist organization, will not be an easy sell to the majority of nations in the UN.
Thus, since the Israeli "cure" is to wipe out Hamas's ability to harm Israeli citizens with thousands of rockets the violence will continue and any truce will only be a temporary one. And terrorist groups don't appeal for truces unless they are being hurt.

America and the Soviets, by Alexander Berkman
This manuscript is part of the International Institute for Social History's Alexander Berkman archive and appears in Anarchy Archives with ISSH's permission. AMERICA AND THE SOVIETS. A great deal is being written now in the Soviet Press about the new American law against convict or forced labor. The United States has recently passed a statute according to which no goods can enter the country that are the product of unfree, forced or convict labor. The new law went into effect in January and there is much discussion in Russia, as well as in the United States, as to what effect the new legislation will [have] on Russian industrial conditions and on its foreign trade. The unusual feature of the law is that the burden of proof is laid upon the ... (From : Anarchy Archives.)

Bread Upon The Waters, by Rose Pesotta
CHAPTER 2 California Here We Come! CONDITIONS IN THE LOS ANGELES dress industry had grown steadily worse in five months. Manufacturers generally were violating the state minimum wage of $16 a week for women, and the President's Reemployment Agreement, more often called the Blanket Code, in effect until a permanent Code of Fair Competition under the NRA could be agreed upon for the industry. An appallingly large labor turnover was deliberately fostered by the employers for their own benefit. Workers who showed any inclination to organize for selfprotection were promptly fired; and the blacklist operated relentlessly against those who dared protest. I got a close-up of this from local union leaders the morning after my arrival. Something drastic must be done within the next few weeks. The City of Angels then had about 150 dress factories, employ...

Do not the M. & M. and the gentlemen of the Chamber of Commerce, who have also declared war on Labor, assure us that the Anarchists are dangerous and that they are responsible for all our troubles? Does not every skinner of Labor and every grafting politician shout against the Anarchists? Isn't that enough to prove that the Anarchists are dangerous?

Law and Order, by Randolph Bourne
Masses (March 1912). Reprinted in The Radical Will, 352–354. No incident of recent years has served to bring out so much crude thinking among supposedly educated men as the now happily ended McNamara case. A wave of hysterical passion for law and order seems suddenly to have swept over the land, a passion which one would like to believe is entirely sincere and ready to carry itself through to logical conclusions. It looks a little too much like a sudden scare, a purely physical timidity on the part of the comfortable classes, to be quite convincing. The gallant and well-worn phrase, law and order, has been worked overtime to conceal a very real fear on the part of the dominant classes for their lives and property. The law and order wh...

To Grover Cleveland: Sir, Your inaugural address is probably as honest, sensible, and consistent a one as that of any president within the last fifty years, or, perhaps, as any since the foundation of the government.

BkiUc7c5ixsDMS2a5hti | What a wonderful world of women we've found for our 4th Annual Women's issue!
In the three previous issues we featured presidents, CEOs, and founders. But as all great leaders know, it's the leadership team that makes the business world go round. So this year we set our focus on "C-Suite Women" who are not presidents, CEOs, or founders.
The 28 profiles that follow include chief marketing/brand officers, chief financial/accounting officers, chief development officers, chief legal officers, chief operating officers, chief technology/information officers, chief people/talent/HR officers, a chief communications officer, and a chief quality, supply chain, and commercialization officer. Several hold dual positions, including executive vice president, senior vice president, vice president, co-owner, co-founder, and board member.
And, suffice it to say, we didn't get 'em all. Our list on page 18 contains additional female franchise leaders beyond those we've profiled in the following pages.
Despite the impressive group we've gathered, it should come as no surprise that women are still under-represented in the C-suites and boardrooms of America. A recent study from Equilar found women in just slightly more than 15 percent of all director seats at publicly traded U.S. companies in 2015. While that number is up from 14 percent a year earlier and 12 percent in 2013, the study predicts it will take nearly 40 more years, until 2055, for women and men to share board seats equally--unless the trend toward more women on boards accelerates, something we hope to contribute to with our annual Women's Issue.
On page 20, following the profiles, we feature a story in which we asked eight other female franchise leaders for words of inspiration and practical advice for women seeking to rise to the C-suite. That story also includes a table from FRANdata showing the percentages of women in franchising occupying C-suite and boardroom positions.
But, as the saying goes, beware of what you wish for. Even when women do get into leadership positions, they tend to be subject to harsher criticism than males, especially when company performance goes south--at least in the eyes of the media. A new analysis from the Rockefeller Foundation and Global Strategy reported that nearly 80 percent of digital and print media stories about troubled companies name the CEO as the source of blame when its leader was a woman--compared with just 31 percent assigning blame to a male CEO at companies in similar situations. "Women are still a rarity at the top and they get more attention when they fail," said Judith Rodin, president of the Rockefeller Foundation.
In 2017, as the number of women in leadership positions continue its steady climb, unfortunately the old saying that a woman has to be twice as good as a man in the same position still holds true in too many parts of today's world. Yet despite the regrettably slow pace of change, there's another saying to remember: "The times they are a-changin'." | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 3 |

IND vs WI – One Day: Kohli hundred wraps up 3rd ODI and series win in Caribbean
Brief Scorecard: 35-over match India 256 for 4 (Kohli 114*, Iyer 65, Allen 2-40) beat West Indies (Gayle 72, Lewis 43, Khaleel 3-68, Shami 2-50) by six wickets

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad – Captain Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer poured on the runs again for India to beat the West Indies comfortably in the third one-day international and take the series 2-0 on Wednesday.
Kohli hit an unbeaten 114 and Iyer 65 as they made a challenging chase of 255 from 35 overs look easy. Kohli hit the winning runs from his 14th boundary for India to reach 256-4 with 15 balls to spare.
The West Indies posted 240-7 around a three-hour rain delay which cut 15 overs from its innings. Before the rain, Chris Gayle smashed a crowd-pleasing 71 from 41 balls in possibly his last ODI, and Evin Lewis added 43 from 29. Their opening stand of 115 came at a run rate of nearly 11.

But they were out to catches in consecutive overs, and only Nicholas Pooran, with 30 from 16, lashed out like they did. Medium-pacer Khaleel Ahmed took an expensive three wickets.
Just like in the second ODI on Sunday on the same ground, Iyer joined his captain with India wobbling at three wickets down. And just like on Sunday when they combined for 120 runs, they hit a match-deciding 125 together.

Iyer relieved India nerves by swatting 65 from 41 balls, including five sixes. After his second straight fifty, he was caught at long off with India on 211-4 and cruising.
Three days after knocking 120, Kohli played the anchor and brought up his 43rd ODI century, only six from Sachin Tendulkar's world record.
Kohli finished on 114 not out from 99 balls, receiving man of the match again and man of the series. He was dropped early behind the wickets by Shai Hope, and batted in pain after a lifter from Kemar Roach hit his hand. Afterward, Kohli said he suffered a split nail and didn't believe his thumb was broken.
Kohli joined his teammates in giving Gayle an informal guard of honor after catching out the cricket great with a dive at mid-off.

Gayle wore jersey number 301 to mark his 301st and possibly last ODI, and entertained a sparse crowd by toying with the West Indies attack for 12 overs. He hit five sixes, including one one-handed over long leg off Ahmed.
He and Lewis shared 114 in the first 10 overs, the highest 10-over score by a team batting first in ODI history. If this was his last ODI, Gayle finished in style.
Gayle hasn't been picked for the two-test series, which starts on Thursday next week in North Sound, Antigua.

So, afterward we had a sleepover at our apartment and some of the girls wanted to play Truth/Dare (typical high school and I loved it!).

BkiUe985qhLBkuIjTOtb | Manhattan. Born and raised. I love this place. This city. This life. I love the hustle and bustle, the mosaic of faces, the messy blur of belonging. I cherish the symphony of car horns and human hollers, the speeding of souls and yellow taxis. I'm warmed by the bright lights, the constant color, the tie-dye of time. I celebrate that I am rarely alone. There is always someone else. Someone walking by. Someone hunched over a screen. Someone reading a paper. Someone soaking up life. Someone who also dreams and struggles and curses the traffic.
But I wonder. And I know. Being surrounded does not mean being connected. It is plenty possible to be alone, and to be lonely, in a vast crowd. Maybe it is even easier to grow lonesome in a place packed with people? Maybe as people zig and zag by us, buzzing through the maze of their days, it is harder to reach out, to talk, to say it. Hello.
I think about this now. Because I am a mother. I have little girls who will one day grow up and live in the world. And I wonder what world it will be? Do I want them to live here in this exquisite urban chaos? Or do I wish for them a simpler space, full of green grass and wide smiles and robust relationships? I don't know. I don't know what I want for them because I don't know what I want for me. It is hard to figure these things out, isn't it?
Or maybe it isn't. Maybe city and country are screens just like this one into which I stare. Maybe behind it all, life is life and place is place. Maybe, in truth, we are all destined to be a bit lonesome from time to time. Maybe this is good for us. Maybe distance from others, from self even, is important. Maybe it just doesn't matter whether we float amidst tall buildings or tall trees. Maybe we are who we are no matter where we grow.
I don't know. What I do know is that I am here. Swaddled in this city that raised me alongside Mom and Dad. At this screen, my bright haven, thinking aloud, asking. Asking the big questions that come like rain, pounding down. The big questions that find us when we are good enough to let them. The questions that are bigger than we are, than we will ever be.
Who would I be if I were raised somewhere else?
Is this city part of my soul?
Is loneliness, in patches, good for us?
What do I want for the creatures I created?
Why am I here, opening up, admitting uncertainty?
Does becoming ever cease or are we always evolving into who it is we are?
The big questions alight wherever we are. City. Country. Cyberspace. Everywhere in between. They burrow in and beckon. And in their misty presence, we think and write and wonder. In our loving lonesomeness. In our tangled togetherness.
Do you think it's possible to be both lonesome and surrounded? Do you think you'd be a different person if raised elsewhere? Do you think it's important to ask big questions? Do you think that this life, this cyber life, is millions of people being lonesome together? | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUeDLxK7ICUubsz2r1 | My write-up of Mist:Chabuya ramen restaurant in Seoul was met with mixed reviews. Last night I returned to the restaurant to see if it had really gone downhill.
I went with a few friends and place was busy but not packed. I was impressed by the service which was patient and attentive. They had a new manager there that could speak English well and the whole place looked clean and professional.
The menus were laminated and clean- not torn an dirty like one commenter wrote.
I ordered the Mist Shoyu Ramen (10,000 won). The broth was rich and flavorful. It didn't look like there there was a lot in the bowl, but I left quite full. The noodles were silky and held up in the broth and the pork was melt-in-the-mouth tender. The pickles in the soup added a needed crunch. With the Mist Shoyu Ramen there were also a egg that was gently poached so the yolk inside was still creamy. This was a treat to have with the soup.
The only thing amiss was when my friends and I tried to order another round of drinks. There was a bit of confusion at first, but I think that was because they were trying to clarify what we wanted.
Overall, it was a fine meal. It's not ramen I would have everyday, but every once in a while, it's good. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

The Good Fight and other Sunday TV
no CBS All Access for me
Before The Good Fight aired in 2017, I was a huge fan of the TV seriesThe Good Wife (2009-2016). Maybe it was the premise. In real life, the US was experiencing a series of sex scandals, involving high profile male politicians.
Often, but not always, there was a wife standing by her husband. It happened in New York State, with Eliot Spitzer, the crime-fighting attorney general who became governor. But it as revealed that Spitzer, in his former role, was also prostitute-facilitating Client 9.
Likewise "Alicia [Julianna Margulies] has been a good wife to her husband, a former state's attorney [Chris Noth]. After a very humiliating sex and corruption scandal, he is behind bars. She must now provide for her family and returns to work as a litigator in a law firm."
After the run ended, there was a spinoff called The Good Fight, starring Christine Baranski as Diane Lockhart, Alicia's former boss/partner/frenemy. CBS showed the first episode. To see others, though, one had to sign onto something called CBS All Access. No thanks. The new Star Trek is on the same platform.
Now, after the third season of The Good Fight, with another one scheduled, Season 1 is being shown on CBS broadcast TV, each Sunday night. I'm excited, but not enough to have watched any of the five episodes I've recorded. I know lots of folks like to binge on these things, but it's not me.
That means the DVR records a lot Sunday nights. In addition to The Good Fight, there are also one or two episodes of 60 Minutes episodes. Of course, most of them I've already seen unless some NFL football game, NCAA basketball contest or golf tournament ran long.
The other hour is The $100,000 Pyramid. It's a game show that initially aired in 1973 as the $10,000 Pyramid, hosted by the late Dick Clark. Former NFL linebacker Michael Strahan is the current host. The game plays the same as it did decades ago. The clues in the first round may be more explicit – "horny" was a word a contestant had to convey recently.
Whereas I specifically dislike some of the other shows ABC has brought back, such as To Tell The Truth and Match Game, though I had watched them in earlier incarnations. I have no interest in seeing Press Your Luck or Card Sharks then or now.

BkiUdQA4uzqh_OyQcO4Y | Ewing Sarcoma: Cameron's Story
Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Program
Before Cameron Kaelin underwent surgery that removed his right big toe and part of his foot to rid him of cancer, he played soccer, surfed and skateboarded.
Close to three years after that surgery, guess what? Cameron has played soccer, surfed and is focusing on skateboarding.
"I'd say skateboarding is my favorite sport right now," says Cameron, 12. "I like doing tricks on the quarter pipe."
Clearly, missing a large section of his foot has not slowed him down. He's as active as he was back in spring 2014 when he first felt some pain in his foot after playing soccer. An X-ray in July "was perfect," his dad, Ross, says. Cameron played throughout the summer and fall, but the pain got worse, and after an October tournament, his foot was swollen. This time an X-ray and MRI showed a mass in his first metatarsal and surrounding soft tissue. An orthopaedic surgeon near their Salisbury, MD, home suspected a sarcoma: a malignant tumor.
The local doctor referred the family to Kristy Weber, MD, an orthopaedic surgeon who co-leads the Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Program at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). "He knew her and called her on her cell," says Ross. "Things happened quickly after that."
Biopsy: Ewing sarcoma
Within days, Cameron underwent an ultrasound-guided needle biopsy that revealed a Ewing sarcoma, a type of cancer so rare that only 250 cases are diagnosed in the United States each year. The good news: A chest CT scan and a body PET-CT revealed only the localized Ewing sarcoma and no metastatic (spread) disease.
The Bone and Soft Tissue Tumor Program, a collaboration among Orthopaedics, Radiology, Pathology and the Cancer Center, was created to treat children like Cameron. Naomi Balamuth, MD, became his oncologist and oversaw his chemotherapy treatment. Cameron would have six rounds of chemo before his surgery, to shrink the tumor, and eight rounds after it, to kill off any lurking cancer cells.
"It was obvious to us that Dr. Balamuth and Dr. Weber were in sync on Cameron's care," says Ross. "If we had an appointment with one, the other would make room in her schedule for us that same day. The way they communicated was unbelievable."
While in 90 percent of Ewing sarcoma cases the limb can be salvaged or reconstructed, Cameron was among the 10 percent where that wasn't possible.
Toe can't be saved
"The bone where the tumor was located was pretty much destroyed," says Julie Kaelin, his mother. "There was no way to save the metatarsal, the longer bone attached to the toe bone (phalange), and consequently, his big toe."
The main concern was to remove all the cancer. "Before the surgery, we told Dr. Weber to take as much of his foot as she needed to get rid of the sarcoma," says Ross. "She was adamant: 'I'll do what needs to be done.' She nailed it. She got the cancer out and left enough of his foot for him to function."
After his post-surgery chemo, he started rehabilitation. After 13 months on crutches, he was happy to finally set them aside — a week before his Make A Wish trip to Hawaii.
"Our concern was that his balance would be off," says Ross, "but he didn't really have balance issues. He struggled at first to get his normal gait back, but he walks absolutely normally now."
Cameron tried a couple of different orthotics, but none of the shoe inserts worked for him. His foot felt better with just a sock and shoe.
Resiliency rules
"Dr. Weber told us that kids are very resilient and adapt better than adults do," says Julie. "She was right. Unless you saw him without shoes, you'd never know he's missing a toe."
Throughout the whole ordeal, CHOP's vast experience treating children with Ewing sarcoma gave the family confidence and comfort.
"CHOP has spoiled us on healthcare because we've seen it done right," says Ross. "If you have a test in the morning, they give you the results that day before you leave, or call you as soon as they have them. They explain everything so well. We had no questions on the course of treatment, what would go on, what would be next. Before we even thought of something, they had already taken care of it. We know CHOP is where he was supposed to be."
"Cameron has been cancer-free for 2 ½ years, and we're so grateful for Dr. Weber, Dr. Balamuth and everyone at CHOP for helping him beat cancer. We're CHOP's biggest cheerleaders," says Julie.

Austria Sparks Uproar With 'Islam Map'
The Austrian government came under fire Thursday for a new "Islam map" showing the location of mosques and associations around the country, with religious groups saying it would stigmatise Austria's Muslim population.
Earlier, Integration Minister Susanne Raab unveiled an internet website called the "National Map of Islam" with the names and locations of more than 600 mosques, associations and officials and their possible links abroad.
But the interactive map -- compiled in collaboration with the University of Vienna and the Documentation Centre of Political Islam -- alarmed many of Austria's Muslims and the ruling centre-right OeVP party's coalition partner, the Greens, also distanced itself from it.
It "demonstrates the government's manifest intent to stigmatise all Muslims as a potential danger," said the IGGOe Muslim representative council in a statement.
The Green party's spokeswoman for integration Faika El-Nagashi complained that "no Green minister or MP was involved or even told about it. The project mixes Muslims with Islamists and is the contrary to what integration policy should look like."
Raab insisted that the map was not meant to "place Muslims in general under suspicion".
The aim was "to fight political ideologies, not religion," she said.
Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has regularly criticised what he calls "political Islam".
"Imagine if a similar map was drawn up for Judaism or Christianity," said Tarafa Baghajati, the head of another Muslim organisation, complaining that it equated terrorism with religion.
He pointed out that around eight percent of Austria's overall population of 8.9 million were practising Muslims and most of them had no links with such organisations.
"It's worrying and I'm disappointed with the government for adopting far-right ideas," he said.
Since a jihadist attack left four people dead in Vienna last November -- the first to be carried out in Austria -- a rise has been reported in the number of incidents in verbal and physical attacks against Muslims in the country.
IGGOe complained that "racism against Muslims is growing".
