BkiUdjw5jDKDyKYv5pUw | Maria Bauer Melinn Rewrites History: Inserts Herself into Suffrage Movement & More
"A mother can not stop fighting for the safety of her children, nor can a protective father or grandparent!!!!" – Maria Bauer Melinn
A History of the World According to Maria Bauer Melinn…
CHAPTER 1: Maria becomes QUEEN.
According to male admirer Babuhai Patel, "The best girl in the entire facebook is her highness Maria."
Abdul Raoof Mughal:"You belong in Bollywood films.."
CHAPTER 2: Maria inserts herself into the Women's Suffrage Movement, highjacks the name of a legitimate organization, the National Women's Party, and then. uses it for her own selfish purposes. Maria compares herself to Susan B. Anthony and other notable women, inserting herself into the spotlight of women's history.
Let's be clear, Maria stole the National Women's Party's name, historical images, and written descriptions of its history and leaders then made this significant organization that has contributed to increasing the rights and equality of women, ALL ABOUT HERSELF!
CHAPTER 3: Maria compares herself to Anne Frank: http://thekcajapreview.blogspot.com/2013/12/maria-melinn-compared-herself-to-ann.html
Anne Frank was a teenager who was murdered in the Holocaust, perishing in a concentration camp with her sister—and most of her family. If Maria does not have respect for Anne's memory, and how the Frank family has chosen to honor Anne's life—then how can Maria be trusted to advocate for anyone else or protect her own children?
CHAPTER 4: March 2012, Maria becomes president of the American Mothers Political Party (AMPP), an organization created by fellow narcissists who strive to be the center of attention, attempting to alter reality if necessary.
Just two examples, Lorraine Tipton aka Mama Liberty compares herself to a gun toting Statute of Liberty.
Lorraine Tipton imagines herself to be a gun toting "Mama Liberty"
And Claudine Dombrowski has rewritten the Wizard of Oz to give herself a starring role in it.
Chapter… Do you really want another chapter? History repeats itself until we learn from its mistakes.
Look at the pattern of Maria's actions; that proves she has a strong need to seek attention without any remorse for using people or hurting people in the process. She even goes so far to steal historical names and the identity of historical figures to feed her own ego. And yet so many people come to Maria, and the others like her for help—Claudine, Lorraine, AMPP, Abused Swan and Mothers of Lost Children (MOLC) etc.
What can be learned from this?
*If you have a history of abuse or trauma, you could be vulnerable to attracting other abusers into your life while missing the red flags. This does NOT mean that you are a bad person but that abuse has left its mark on you, and you must be more diligent in educating yourself or seeking support to protect yourself.
*Just because someone portrays themselves as an "advocate" does not make them one. And just because an advocate is a female does not mean she is a trustworthy person. Abusers can be male or female, come from all backgrounds and cultures, and are skilled at manipulation to hide who they really are. You have to look at actions and patterns of behavior to determine if a person can be trusted.
*For more tips on how to protect yourself, and what red flags to look for to detect abuse, here are some links that may be helpful:
Advocate Qualities and Choosing the Correct One for You: http://www.iidc.indiana.edu/?pageId=376
This link above includes child disability advocacy for schools, but there are some helpful tips that could apply to advocacy in general, including family court advocacy, such as:
How long has this person been involved in advocacy?
Does this person understand YOU, YOUR child and YOU and YOUR child's needs?
Will this person be sensitive to the fact that YOU have the ultimate final decision making power?
Can this person be objective? What evidence is there of this fact?
Can this person maintain a professional demeanor?
Does this person seek win-win solutions?
Does this person understand his/her professional limits?
What references are available and what is the reputation of this advocate?
Narcissism on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narcissism
A 2012 popular book on power-hungry narcissists suggests that narcissists typically display most, and sometimes all, of the following traits:[7]
An obvious self-focus in interpersonal exchanges
Problems in sustaining satisfying relationships
A lack of psychological awareness (see insight in psychology and psychiatry, egosyntonic)
Difficulty with empathy
Problems distinguishing the self from others (see narcissism and boundaries)
Hypersensitivity to any insults or imagined insults (see criticism and narcissists, narcissistic rage and narcissistic injury)
Vulnerability to shame rather than guilt
Haughty body language
Flattery towards people who admire and affirm them (narcissistic supply)
Detesting those who do not admire them (narcissistic abuse)
Using other people without considering the cost of doing so
Pretending to be more important than they really are
Bragging (subtly but persistently) and exaggerating their achievements
Claiming to be an "expert" at many things
Inability to view the world from the perspective of other people
Denial of remorse and gratitude

PKD Health Note: Soda Pop and PKD
"There are some things that are easy to figure out: how to run a microwave, how to cook ramen noodles, and donating cars to a good cause. But other things can be confusing and feel like a minefield when navigating the available information. Like understanding the IRS tax code, picking apart what is canon and what isn't in the Marvel Comic universe, and knowing whether or not you should drink soda pop when you're dealing with kidney disease."

World Kidney Day is March 12th 2020!
"Burden of kidney disease
Kidney disease is a non-communicable disease (NCD) and currently affects around 850 million people worldwide. One in ten adults has chronic kidney disease (CKD). The global burden of CKD is increasing, and is projected to become the 5th most common cause of years of life lost globally by 2040. Chronic kidney disease is a major cause of catastrophic health expenditure. The costs of dialysis and transplantation consume 2–3% of the annual healthcare budget in high-income countries; spent on less than 0.03% of the total population of these countries. In low-income and middle-income countries, most people with kidney failure have insufficient access to lifesaving dialysis and kidney transplantation.
Crucially, kidney disease can be prevented and progression to end-stage kidney disease can be delayed with appropriate access to basic diagnostics and early treatment. However, while national policies and strategies for NCDs in general are present in many countries, specific policies directed toward education and awareness about kidney disease as well as CKD screening, management and treatment are often lacking. There is a need to increase the awareness of the importance of preventive measures throughout populations, professionals and policy makers.
What we call for
This year World Kidney Day continues to raise awareness of the increasing burden of kidney diseases worldwide and to strive for kidney health for everyone, everywhere. Specifically, the 2020 campaign highlights the importance of preventive interventions to avert the onset and progression of kidney disease."

Toronto Marlies Zamboni Driver and Kidney Transplant Recipient Gets Called Up to the NHL Against the Maple Leafs
"A 42-year-old goaltender who practices with the Maple Leafs, beat them on Saturday night in their own arena.
David Ayres, who used to drive the Zamboni at Toronto Marlies games and also practices with them, was pressed into service as an emergency goaltender and made eight saves in the Carolina Hurricanes' 6-3 victory at Scotiabank Arena.
Ayres is the first emergency net-minder to be credited with a victory in NHL history. He wore a Marlies face mask, blue and white goalie pads, mitt and blocker, and a Leafs T-shirt beneath the Carolina sweater he quickly threw on before entering the game after injuries sidelined both of Carolina's goalies."

What Would the People Ask?
investigative journalism Watchdog conference
Andrew Kohut, Director of The Pew Research Center for The People & The Press, addressed the question of 'What would the people ask?' by sharing results of a September 1999 survey. In that survey a sample group of Americans was asked to describe what they would like to know—and what they don't want to know— about the candidates running for President. Their answers are instructive as reporters consider coverage of the campaign.
Views About the Press
Survey participants were asked, "Is press scrutiny of political campaigns worth it?" A 53-36 percent majority endorsed the press's watchdog role in election campaigns. As Kohut noted in reporting this finding, "That's a horrible endorsement of this basic function of the press." By a similar margin, 59 percent to 34 percent, survey respondents said they think editors care more about the opinions of politicians and other political insiders than their own audiences when deciding which stories to cover in an election.
Reporting on the Personal Lives of Candidates
"The public doesn't want more exposés of the personal lives of candidates and doesn't want more inside baseball reporting," Kohut said. "Unlike tabloid audiences, ordinary people are not anxious to pry into the private lives of politicians. In a highly heterogeneous news market, you can't judge broad public opinion by what makes the needle move on cable chat shows or their print equivalents."
For example, interest in campaign news dropped from 53 percent in late July to 46 percent in early September following weeks of reporting about George W. Bush's possible cocaine use. Decline was sharpest among Republicans who normally follow campaign news more than Democrats or Independents.
The Pew Survey tested 13 hypothetical stories about presidential candidates' personal lives. Clear majorities held the view that the press should report on four of the possible 13 personal issues or situations:
Tax cheating
Exaggerating military record
Exaggerating academic achievements
The survey revealed similar clarity about what the press should not report:
Past drinking
Past drug use or use of antidepressants
Old affairs
Assessing the Character of Candidates
"Reporting about personal qualities is a very tricky game for the press in most elections and in this one in particular," Kohut observed. "On the one hand, Americans say they strongly reject press inquiry into most avenues of a candidate's life. On the other hand, they place pretty high priority, according to our survey, on knowing certain things about a candidate."
Fully 82 percent said it's very important to learn about a candidate's reputation for honesty.
Almost as many, 71 percent, said the same about getting a sense of how well the candidate connects with average people.
Most Americans say they are not as interested in other personal characteristics. Among the personal information they say they are not as interested in knowing is:
A candidate's church membership
A candidate's clubs and associations
A candidate's experiences growing up
What a candidate's spouse is like
Military service (except among men over the age of 50)
They claim to be somewhat more interested in learning about:
Campaign contributors
Reporting on Campaign Issues
"People say they want to hear about issues," Kohut said, "…but when no big issues dominate the national consciousness and divide the candidates, the default is personal qualities."
The survey revealed that Americans want journalists to focus on coverage of issues. However, when respondents were given a list of six or seven issues and asked what they want to see the next President focus on, nearly equal percentages chose many different topics. "None of them overshadows others," Kohut said, pointing to the top three:
Shoring up Social Security
Protecting Medicare
Keeping the economy strong
Significant mention went to:
Improving the educational system
The nation's moral breakdown
Improving the health care system
Of 11 issues tested, the survey found only two that people had heard a lot about:
The debate over whether U.S. troops should be used to go into another country to stop the killing of innocent civilians in a civil war (This was because of Kosovo.)
Health insurance for the uninsured (This was because several weeks prior to the poll Bill Bradley had unveiled his health care proposal.)
When asked, "Which of these issues do you talk about with your friends and family," other issues rose to the surface aside from the use of force and the medically uninsured:
How to fix Medicare and whether premiums or age eligibility should be increased
Whether to put a portion of Social Security funds into the stock market
How to make the workplace more flexible for parents
How to reduce the gap between rich and poor generally and with regard to school districts in particular
Issues provoking less discussion and having less resonance were ones which people described as having "more interest to Washington elites than ordinary people":
Whether the United States has more of a responsibility than less developed countries to deal with global pollution
Whether to ban soft money contributions to political parties
How to reform the international financial system to make it more stable
How to ensure Internet access for the poor
"Can these issues and others change what appears to be a campaign headed in the direction of a focus on candidates and their personal qualities? I think the answer is maybe," said Kohut. "There's at least some hope that if the campaigns or if the media stress issues, then the public will follow. But it's an environment in which issues will have to be brought to the public. They're not going to come from the bottom up, with regard to national issues at least."

BkiUdAA5qoaAwtECZADo | From November 8th to 11th 2017, the 25th Annual Conference of Croatian Psychologists "Psychology in the promotion and protection of human rights and social justice" took place in Zadar, Croatia. The conference was organized by the Croatian Psychological Association, in cooperation with the Croatian Psychological Chamber, Zadar Psychologists Society, and the Department of Psychology, University of Zadar.
At the opening ceremony, the conference theme was introduced by Vera Ćubela Adorić, the chair of the Programme Committee, Mirjana Krizmanić, the conference president of honour, and Furio Radin, the vice-president of the Croatian Parliament and a member of the Parliament's Committee on Human Rights. The opening keynote "Children's Rights: A Burden or Challenge for Psychologists?" was given by Maja Gabelica Šupljika, the Croatian Vice-Ombudsperson for Children. Inspiring keynote speeches were delivered on consecutive days by Dominic Abrams of the University of Kent ("In the Balance? Psychology, Human Rights, and Social Justice"), Polli Hagenaars of the EFPA Board on Human Rights and Psychology ("State of the Art of a Human Rights Based-and-Oriented Psychology"), Jan-Willem van Prooijen of the International Society for Justice Research ("Belief in Conspiracy Theories"), and Tom Warnecke of the European Association for Psychotherapy ("Psychology – As if People Mattered").
The conference offered a forum for the exchange of research findings as well as of the professional experiences and insights into the role and competencies of psychologists in promoting and protecting human rights and social justice by more than 370 psychologists. With 187 active contributions, including nine symposia, 13 roundtables, ten oral and two poster sessions, the conference covered a range of issues such as education of psychologists about human rights and social justice, the inclusion of children with disabilities, gender equality in education and labour market, intergenerational justice and solidarity, stigmatization, integration of immigrants and minorities, sexual harassment and violence at the workplace, LGBT parental rights, destigmatization of mental health problems, and the ethical and professional responsibilities of psychologists for the promotion and protection of human rights. The conference activities resulted in the initiative to establish a committee for human rights within the Croatian Psychological Association, which was announced at the closing ceremony. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 1 |

Trump Tower fire injures three people
A heating and air-conditioning system in Trump Towers, located in New York City, caught fire and injured three people on Jan. 8, 2018.
"The injuries were to a firefighter who was hurt when debris fell on him, an engineer who attempted to put out the fire with an extinguisher and inhaled smoke, and another civilian whose injuries were not immediately disclosed," according to CNN. The firefighter and civilians were treated for their injuries, which were non-life threatening.
According to the New York Fire Department, "The fire started around 7 a.m. Monday at the building that contains President Donald Trump's home and business offices." The fire took an hour to put out, according to WCTV.
Eighty-four firefighters were on the scene at the time of the fire. Half an hour later, only a few remained on the roof.
According to New York Magazine, "President Trump was not in the building, and nobody was evacuated." After the fire was extinguished, President Donald Trump's son Eric Trump tweeted his thanks to the fire fighters for doing "an incredible job."

BkiUdejxaL3Sugla02Dt | Contraceptive choices among a Canadian cohort of HIV positive women
1 February 2014. Related: Conference reports, Women's health, Intl Workshop on HIV and Women 4th 2014.
Polly Clayden, HIV i-Base
Contraception use is high and barrier contraception use moderately high in a Canadian cohort of HIV positive women.
Malika Sharma presented findings at the 4th International Workshop on HIV & Women 2014, from a substudy conducted to understand associations between demographic and HIV-related data and contraceptive choices among women participating in the CTN236: HPV Vaccine in HIV trial.
For the substudy, data on contraceptive use were abstracted for sexually active, pre-menopausal women. Variables included demographics, use and type of ART, CD4 count, viral load, hepatitis B coinfection, details on substance use and sexual history.
Data were available from 377 girls and women of whom 168 women did not meet the inclusion criteria for the substudy: 24 (6.3%) were pre-menarchal, 36 (9.5%) had never had intercourse, 29 (7.7%) were post- menopausal, and 79 (21.0%) had not been sexually active in the past year. The remaining 209 women aged 15 to 57 were included in the analysis.
Of these women: 87% reported a previous pregnancy: 89% reported at least one method of current contraception; 82% reported barrier protection: and 73% reported condom use (with or without other methods) most or all of the time.
Over half (53%) used barrier contraception; 15% barrier plus other; 15% barrier and hormonal; 8% other; 5% none (personal or partner sterilisation) and 4% hormonal contraception.
The majority (80%) of the 17% of the cohort using hormonal contraception did so in combination with barrier protection and 75% of women reported hormonal contraception use in the past.
The median age of women using hormonal contraception (alone or with barrier protection) was 31, while that of women using no contraception or barrier protection alone was 39 and 37 years, respectively.
Of the 34 women using combination HC and barrier methods, 45% were white, 29% were black, 13%) were Aboriginal and 4 13% belonged to other ethnicities. Almost half (48%) of women using barrier methods alone were black. Almost half (46%) of all hormonal contraception users were currently smoking.
Women using hormonal with or without barrier contraception had higher CD4 counts 515 cells/mm3 and 660 cells/mm3, respectively, than those using no contraception 330 cells/mm3. But 82% of women using no contraception had an undetectable viral load compared to 55% of those using hormonal contraception and 48% of those using combined barrier and hormonal contraception.
The majority of women had received prior ART, but 11% were not on ART at study entry. Thirty-one of the women reporting hormonal contraception had received ART (i 11 currently on a PI and 4 an NNRTI based regime), which Dr Sharma noted raised the potential for drug interactions.
Contraception use was high in this cohort but the investigators highlighted high rates of smoking and inconsistent condom use (31% every time and 34% most of the time) as findings of concern in this analysis.

BkiUc-45qsBC-7ALuZNu | What Would It Take to Make Nepal the Next Great Ski Destination?
High hopes and high slopes, but few skiers.

In 2014, Dachhiri Sherpa placed 86th out of 87 athletes who completed the 15-kilometer cross-country skiing race at the Sochi Winter Olympics. He didn't go to Russia with any illusions about winning gold, or even placing in the top 50. As Nepal's only Winter Olympian, Dachhiri just wanted to represent his country. In an interview with NBC Sports, he said "the placing is not important if I can teach young people in Nepal about the Olympic spirit. This spirit is in my heart."
Sochi was Dachhiri's third and final Olympics and, for now, the end to Nepal's participation in the quadrennial event (another skier competed in 2002 as well). The country that holds eight of the 10 tallest mountains in the world doesn't have anyone competing in PyeongChang. So why, when winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding are developing in places such as Kashmir or Kazakhstan, doesn't Nepal have a growing winter sports industry?

Craig Calonica first went to Nepal 37 years ago, and to say he isn't afraid of heights would be an understatement. He has helicopter skied—dropped down onto untouched slopes from a hovering whirlybird—across the Annapurna region in the east and Humla region to the west. In 2001, he helped found Himalayan Heliski Guides with an eye toward building the industry there. Seventeen years later, Calonica cautiously holds on to this hope.
"It's a little better now, but the government is very stuck on an old, outdated system on how they do business," he says. Calonica cites inefficiencies in the conservation park permit process, corruption, and expensive maintenance costs as obstacles preventing things from really taking off. Plus helicopter skiing runs at least $2,500 an hour.
Besides the political and economic challenges, Nepal's main tourist attraction—its mountains—present another hurdle. Interested skiers need to trek at least 12,000 feet up valley passes and hills to reach areas with sufficient snow. And they need to do this in particularly remote areas—even popular trekking regions such as Annapurna are not easy to get to—during a short season, from mid-January and late March. They also must be fearless and experienced, and they need cash—lots of it.
"To really do it [skiing] right you need a chairlift and a gondola, and then a place for the people to stay," says Calonica. "Right now, the only place to do that is Humla." Snow consistency is key and Humla, Calonica says, can get up to 12 feet a season, which makes it a dependable location. However, the lack of infrastructure and direct flights means it is difficult and expensive to reach.
Calonica sees a challenge as big as a mountain, but he thinks that it can be climbed. "You really need to have a nation that has skiers, you can't depend on skiers from all over the world going there to fill up ski areas," he says. There are few Nepali skiers and he estimates that it would take 10 to 15 years to build that community, at least $80 million to develop ski resorts with lifts, and more time for those resorts to break even. "You could probably do it in Nepal, but it's going to take a lot of effort and money," he adds. Winter sports are also expensive and equipment-intensive, which puts them out of reach for many Nepalis.

To achieve these results will require an increase in sports education, development, tourism, local business involvement, and a solution to the long-standing issues related to governance and investment. It seems, to Calonica, like a never-ending cycle.
That isn't stopping Utsav Pathak from trying. In 2016, he founded the Ski and Snowboarding Foundation Nepal (NFSS) to develop a ski culture. He encountered initial skepticism from friends. "Everyone was afraid," he says. "They told me skiing is a very dangerous game." But Pathak, a student at the Nepal Academy of Tourism and Hotel Management University, still believes it is possible, and with the help of German skier Jalle Seidenader, he began to organize group events.
In February 2016, NFSS held its first "Ski for Nepal" event on 15-degree slopes in Na village, in Rolwaling, near the Tibetan border. Seidenader taught 45 Nepalis, including two women, with 12 pairs of skis total. It was the first time for many, including Pathak. The next year, Red Bull sponsored NFSS's training and produced a highlight reel, which garnered some local interest on social media. NFSS also trained Nepali army officials in ski emergency rescue, and on January 25, 2018, held its first ski festival in Kalinchowk, in northeastern Nepal.
As a model, Pathak has studied the success of Nepal's biggest tourism sector, the trekking industry, as well as its pitfalls. One of the most glaring issues in that business is the lack of women at all levels of the industry (with the exception of a few female-owned trekking companies, such as 3 Sisters). So he is courting women specifically with his skiing and snowboarding effort. "Last February, there is an increasingly number of girls participating," he says. "In 2016, there was only two girls, but in 2017 there was eight girls."

Fenchoke Chuttin Sherpa is one of those women who joined Pathak from the beginning. "My family owns a mountaineering business and father summited Everest. From a childhood, I had interest in hilly areas" and traveling, she says. Despite adventure sports being in her blood, her parents were against this new adventure, especially after the deadly earthquake on April 25, 2015. It took some time for her to convince her family, but they saw her passion and now fully support her. Today she helps NFSS with programming, local outreach, and ski rescue awareness.
"Last time when the earthquake hit Himalayan areas, many people died in avalanches and it was very hard to find people, as helicopters are very expensive, and many people lost their lives," she says. That's why NFSS's training with the Nepali army is important. It could help boost rescue efforts in areas that are largely inaccessible. In addition, she wants to make sure that women like her can feel comfortable and empowered in this new arena. With world-renowned Nepali runners such as Mira Rai and mountaineers such as Pasang Lhamu Sherpa Akita, Sherpa sees the possibility for female skiers with Olympic dreams to break through. "We can't think backward with this kind of sport for women," she says, "if you push yourself everything is possible."

Like Calonica, Pathak and Sherpa are fully aware of the challenges they face. But they also see in advantages in Nepal that Sochi, PyeongChang, or the Alps don't have—such as trekking, unique mountain views, Nepali culture, and, perhaps one day, the bragging rights of shredding on the roof of the world.
Himalayan Ski Trek, another young company offering ski trips for the adventurous, recently held its fifth annual international ski competition in Muktinath, Mustang, and plans to hold more competitions. The company's founder, Krishna Thapa Magar, is also planning a new indoor ski facility, and is working to incorporate sports education into Nepal's school curricula. Magar and NFSS look with hope to skiers such as Safal Ram Shrestha, who has qualified for international races in the slalom and giant slalom, as a candidate for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Perhaps Dachhiri Sherpa's aspirations are inching closer.

But there will need to be changes for that to happen. Sherpa, Nepal's last Winter Olympian, lives in France full-time and visits Nepal every so often. When asked about his quest to find Nepali winter sports talent, he sighs. The Nepal Olympic Committee asked him several times to be a coach, but he had trouble when he tried to follow-up with them in person. One time he met with them, they brought two professional boxers and told him to coach them. Sherpa was flabbergasted.
"I am hopeless because the people in the Committee have never put their feet in the snow," he says. Though he's seen the push from Himalayan Ski Trek, NFSS, and others, he says he's grown weary of false promises and lack of support. "I had a lot of dreams, but it's difficult in Nepal."

BkiUdmc5qsBDH82z6uhc | Everybody in Mysteries of Lisbon has a story to tell, and over the course of the film's 4½-hour running time, Raúl Ruiz is going to tell every single one of them. To watch Ruiz unravel the interlocking stories within stories that this sumptuous film consists of is to watch a master filmmaker at work, confidently unfurling his film at a pace that is guaranteed to transfix an attentive audience. The film begins simply enough, in a 19th century Portuguese college where a young orphan has been taken under the wing of a kindly priest, Adriano Luz's Father Dinis. The boy longs for his mother and, as he recuperates from a fever, Ângela (Maria João Bastos) suddenly appears at the side of his sickbed. She presents him with a toy theatre, a touch that reminded me of Ingmar Bergman's similarly expansive Fanny and Alexander.
Little cardboard characters appear on this stage occasionally, as more stories are recalled (and fresh mysteries created) by Father Dinis. He is the key figure in Mysteries of Lisbon; the cog around which the movie elaborately revolves. Father Dinis appears to know everybody's secrets and histories, even popping up in their stories in various guises and intervening to turn the tide of events. Keeping track of this character's switches of identity and functions within the plot(s) would be challenging enough, but in Mysteries of Lisbon there are so many revelations that completely upend our understanding of the characters involved in this drama and their relationships with one another. For much of the film, you simply have to follow the various narrative trajectories as best you can and trust that it will all add up to something in the end. What holds our attention throughout Mysteries of Lisbon, however, is less the stories being told than the manner in which Ruiz is telling them.
Mysteries of Lisbon is one of the most fluid and mesmerisingly beautiful films I have seen in a very long time. Every shot is ravishingly designed and the director gives us plenty of time to admire the scene he has set, as he allows the film to play out in long takes with very little cutting. Within those takes, André Szankowski's camera glides around the characters, circles them, rises above them or sneakily peeks at them from behind the furniture. When Ruiz observes two lovers the morning after their scandalous tryst, he does so between the crack in a door, or half obscured by curtains, as if we have crept into the room unbeknownst to the players in the scene. His camera continues to rove curiously along corridors as of seeking out further dramatic disclosures, and every such directorial flourish is carried off with a remarkable lightness of touch, the whole film being imbued with this sense of mischievous playfulness.
Ruiz certainly appears to be in his element here, and if Mysteries of Lisbon is about anything then it's surely about the sheer pleasure of storytelling. Characters often say things like "That's another story" or "I'll explain later" and every time the film takes us off on another tangent the whole picture feels revitalised, as a new set of characters add fresh layers of complexity and drama to the film. Somehow, it makes sense that the revenge-fuelled plotting of a French aristocrat in the film's most modern sequence is linked to a love triangle involving two Napoleonic soldiers decades earlier, or that the two crooks who almost killed the child that Ângela was carrying should later become such significant figures in young João's life. Ruiz withholds key information from us throughout, allowing us to get to know the characters from one perspective before he offers us another take on who they are.
When you make a film that runs for 4½ hours (Mysteries of Lisbon was edited down from a six-hour TV series), you'd better justify that running time, and Ruiz does so magnificently. This might be the swiftest and most consistently engaging 4½-hour film I've ever seen; Ruiz can't afford to let the pace flag with so much incident to cover and so many mysteries to solve. Raúl Ruiz died this year at the age of 70 and although he was already working on another film, Mysteries of Lisbon feels like a fitting swansong. It feels as if all of the storytelling techniques the director learned during his long and eclectic career have been utilised here; the film is a summation of everything that Raúl Ruiz loved about movies and moviemaking. It's one of those rare films that feels like an instant classic even as you are watching it, and although Ruiz's passing came too soon, his final film is a gift to us all. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 5 |
BkiUdJ45qhDACudDNZ6P | Since the mini bear market/correction finished up at the end of 2018, the volatility index (VIX) has been smashed down. However, now that the VIX is low, it's time to be cautious. I'll explain why in a minute.
First, let's take a look at the steep drop on the VIX chart. As the markets rallied 22% higher, volatility plummeted. Remember when the VIX sat in the mid 30's on December 24? It's now in the low teens in less than three months, a truly historic move. The VIX is back to the low levels from last summer and fall. During that time, complacency built up. As a result, the correction in December caught many off guard.
For the most part, the market complies with the direction of volatility. Short pops in the VIX often mean brief and potentially scary dips in the markets. We saw that earlier this month. Take a look at the chart, and you will see that the VIX rose from 13 to 18 in about five sessions.
Just as the stock indices embark on a breakout move in price, the VIX indicates complacency. As I mentioned above, complacency means we will see a pop in volatility and a drop in prices. Are you ready for it?
The cost of buying some insurance for your portfolio is negligible. A SPY 280 put that expires next week was less $1 at the close on March 15. If you had strong gains last week, it would be a shame to give them up. I suggest looking at SPY, QQQ, IWM and DIA puts. If we're wrong and the markets head higher, you didn't pay through the nose for protection – but you did sleep well at night. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbvPxK4sA-9F9jIJr | THOUSAND PALMS – Adoption fees will be waived for the first 25 dogs adopted during Saturday's Boots and Paws Adoption Event, an event that will offer discounted adoption rates and contribute to nonprofits serving veterans and shelter pets.
Supervisor V. Manuel Perez will welcome adopters to the inaugural Boots and Paws Adoption Event, which takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 3 at the Coachella Valley Animal Campus. The shelter is located in Thousand Palms, 72-050 Pet Land Place.
Boots and Paws is among a series of countywide events to honor veterans who have served in war zones, and place shelter dogs into loving, forever homes. This event is hosted by Supervisor Perez in partnership with the Riverside County departments of Animal Services and Veterans' Services.
The first 25 dog adoptions will be free, thanks to a sponsorship by SOAR (Society's OutKasts Animal Rescue). The next 25 dog adoptions will be offered at a discounted rate of $24.50, courtesy of the Palm Springs Kennel Club.
After the first 50 dog adoptions, subsequent adoptions will be $49, a lower rate than the regular adoption rate of $105 for dogs.
Of that special rate, $20 from each adoption will go to Reaching New Heights Foundation, a nonprofit organization that assists veterans transitioning from active duty and homelessness. Another $20 of the adoption fee will go to the Animal Solutions Konnection (ASK) Foundation, which provides direct support to the county's shelter pets through volunteer and fundraising activities. The remaining $9 of the adoption fee will offset some of the shelter costs associated with caring for the pet.
Each person who adopts a dog or makes a cash donation will receive a personalized dog tag. Adopters will also receive toys and treats in the adoption bag, as well as camouflage bandanas on the dogs, compliments of SOAR.
The $49 special adoption rate will also be honored at the county's Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter in Jurupa Valley, the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus in San Jacinto and the Coachella Valley Animal Campus during other Homeless Pets & Combat Vets adoption events planned for June 10, June 17 and July 8.

Children who enter kindergarten without all of the skills they need often stay behind and struggle in school. Quality pre-kindergarten (pre-k) prepares children not only for reading and math but also for paying attention, following directions and getting along with others.
Pre-K Counts gives children a chance to learn, become excited about school and be better students. They also have a better chance of being ready for kindergarten — a strong start that means they have a better chance of doing well in school, going on to college or career training, and getting a good job. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUaVHxK6mkyCKCyFky | DONEGAL ladies slumped to their third defeat in a row when going down to a rampant Dublin in Convoy on Sunday.
The 2010 All-Ireland champions were on top throughout with full-forward Sinead Aherne tormentor in chief as she hit two goals and five points of her sides total.
Eilish Ward, with five points, and Karen Guthrie with a goal and a point carried the main scoring threat for Donegal.
Dublin led by five points at half-time before really turning up the heat in the second half as they posted to quick goals within six minutes of the start.
With Dublin 4-11 to 0-7 in front and the clock ticking Donegal did finish with a late scoring burst as Ward pointed from a free and Guthrie converted from the penalty spot after Rose Boyle was fouled.
But Dublin were not finished and they struck for their fifth and final goal in the dying minutes with substitute drilling past Roisin McCafferty, to give the scoreboard an even more painful look to it from a Donegal perspective.
With just one win from four to date Donegal are in relegation bother and must get at least one a win from their games with Tyrone and Meath.
Donegal: Roisin McCafferty; Orla Carr, Olive McCafferty, Kelly Wilson; Kate Keaney, Ciara Hegarty,Therese McCafferty; Aoife McDonnell, Grainne Houston; Karen Feeney, Roisin Friel (0-1), Emer Gallagher (0-1); Eilish Ward (0-5), Karen Guthrie (1-1), Niamh Friel. Subs: Orla Furlong, Rose Boyle.

BkiUdjw5qWTA_aC0QRaz | A group called Save Oak Hill is pitching a new concept for Oak Hill Parkway that would have an Old Town Oak Hill and local access road.
A 12-lane highway project in Southwest Austin passed another hurdle Jan. 14 , moving one step closer toward construction.
The Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization policy board, which comprises area elected officials, unanimously approved adding the Oak Hill Parkway project to its 2019-22 Transportation Improvement Program. This plan outlines which projects will start construction in that four-year timeframe.
Of the 17 residents who addressed the board Monday night, eight spoke in favor of the project and nine opposed it for a variety of reasons, including the scale and impact on the environment.
Newly elected state Rep. Vikki Goodwin, who lives in Shady Hollow, said she would love to see the project be completed sooner. Construction could begin in 2020 at the earliest.
Other residents said they support the project because it would increase the accessibility and ease of getting around the Y at Oak Hill area.
Hays County Commissioner Walt Smith told the board he supports the project because "this project means prosperity to my county," adding thousands of county residents are affected by delays in this area.
The contentious project has also drawn opposition. In December, several residents approached the CAMPO board with their own plan called Livable Oak Hill that would have a smaller footprint, present fewer environmental issues and save more than 280 protected, heritage and legacy trees.
At the Jan. 14 meeting, many of those residents reiterated their concerns, including Angela Richter, executive director of Save Barton Creek Association. She said she worries how the scale of the project will affect Barton Springs, citing an example where the city closed Barton Spring pool last month after waters became cloudy from drilling of a nearby well.
"What effect will digging out an Astrodome's worth of dirt have on the springs? I don't want to find out," she said.
Residents who support the Livable Oak Hill proposal want to see a project that occupies a smaller footprint and urged the CAMPO board to reconsider voting on Oak Hill Parkway until CAMPO can vet the new proposal.
"It's not an either/or between solving our traffic problems and preserving the Oak Hill community and environment," Richter said. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 3 |

BkiUdcLxK3YB9m7_-oDc | Dwyane Wade Feared For Gabrielle Union's Health After Multiple Miscarriages
December 6, 2018 | 6:54pm EST
Basketball star Dwyane Wade became deeply concerned about the health of his actress wife Gabrielle Union as they continued to pursue their baby dreams after suffering multiple miscarriages.
The couple welcomed daughter Kaavia James via a surrogate mother last month (Nov18), but before successfully expanding its family, Gabrielle underwent extensive in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, only to endure "eight or nine miscarriages," news she first shared in her 2017 memoir, We're Going to Need More Wine.
Despite the heartache of her failed pregnancies, the Bad Boys II beauty refused to give up hope – although her husband Dwyane admits he began to question how much of a toll it was taking on Gabrielle's body.
"It came to a point where I started to feel a certain way about that (continuing to try) because I didn't want something to happen to her and it was getting dangerous," he tells Oprah Winfrey, in a clip on breakfast show Good Morning America.
"We was (sic) trying so much and so many things and so many different methods and it was getting dangerous and I was getting nervous."
The stars opened up about their journey to new parenthood in upcoming U.S. TV special Oprah at Home with Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade & Their New Baby, and in another preview of the interview, the athlete explains how disgusted he was with the backlash they faced after announcing their child's arrival with a series of touching hospital photos online.
Some critics attacked Gabrielle, claiming the images gave the impression that she had given birth to Kaavia herself, but Dwyane puts the ignorant comments down to a lack of education about surrogacy.
He says, "I think for me, the most hurtful thing was once we had our baby and everyone started to talk about, 'Why is she (Gabrielle) in a bed holding a baby? Why she got a gown on? Why she acting like she just had a baby?' and it's like, once again, people are uneducated on the process."
A previous teaser for the chat had shown Gabrielle breaking down in tears over the nasty remarks.
Fans will get the chance to see the full interview on Oprah at Home with Gabrielle Union, Dwyane Wade & Their New Baby when it debuts on Saturday (08Dec18).
Kaavia James is the first child for couple, which wed in August 2014, while Dwyane also is dad to sons Xavier Zechariah, five, Zion Malachi Airamis, 11, and Zaire Blessing Dwyane, 16, from previous relationships. He also raises nephew Dahveon Morris, 17. | commoncrawl | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUa_M5qX_AYzDLruOR | This will be much easier if you know what you're looking for.
Whether that's flexibility, low rates or security, take the time to have a good look at where you are now, and where you want to be long term.
In For the Long Haul!
This means you need to have at least a vague idea of how your finances are likely to shape up long term – no one can predict the future, but good planning is one way to help ensure you meet the challenges to come.
Check bank statements to make sure you have included all your usual expenses.
However, what you would need to do is be honest with yourself in answering some personal questions in an attempt to plan ahead for financial reasons.
Do you expect your income to rise over the next few years, or will it stay the same? Do you have dependents, or are you planning a family? While some things are uncertain, you should be able to tell whether your needs will stay constant for the next five years, or are likely to change substantially.
Your budget should give you a fair idea of how much you can afford in repayments each month – bear in mind there will be other costs incurred when buying property, such as legal fees and stamp duty. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUbDE4ubnjorKKrndT | 9 June 2016 - PuriCore plc (AIM: PURI), an emerging specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on leveraging its proprietary immunomodulatory technology, today announces that it has successfully completed a pre-Investigational New Drug Application (Pre-IND) Meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for its lead candidate PR022, which is being developed for the treatment of Atopic Dermatitis.
The Company announced in February a new strategic focus on drug development of novel therapies in Dermatology, Ophthalmology and potentially rare diseases. This successful meeting paves the way for submission of the first IND application to the FDA for Atopic Dermatitis, earmarked for Q1 2017.
Atopic Dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease which poses a significant burden on patients' quality of life and on the overall health care system. AD affects up to 20% of children and up to 3% of adults and prevalence numbers continue to increase. PR022 is a proprietary topical hydrogel where the active moiety is hypochlorous acid. The Company has demonstrated that PR022, a patented high dose concentration of hypochlorous acid, is associated with a statistically significant therapeutic effect in animal models of dermatitis. PR022 leverages the Company's patented technology for the generation and stabilization of hypochlorous acid solutions.
"We are extremely pleased with the progress we have made in advancing our new strategic focus as an emerging specialty pharmaceutical company and the development plans for our platform technology remain on track. The successful completion of our Pre-IND Meeting for PR022 builds on a continuing, constructive dialogue with the FDA. We are confident that our IND will be filed on schedule by Q1 2017, and that our clinical trial plan will be straightforward."
PuriCore is an emerging specialty biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel immunomodulatory therapies to protect and improve the lives of adults and children. The Company has initiated a drug development program, based on its proprietary hypochlorous acid technology at high concentrations. The Company believes their formulations have novel immunomodulatory activity with potential application for the treatment of diseases in a number of therapeutic areas such as Dermatology, Ophthalmology and potentially rare diseases. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 2 |

Telemedicine Services Now Available to the School District of Palm Beach County Employees
Employees of The School District of Palm Beach County now have access to convenient, cost-effective telemedicine services with the HealthSpot® station, a health care kiosk at the Fulton-Holland Educational Services Center, the district's main administration offices.
The HealthSpot station is a private, 8-foot-by-7-foot enclosure outfitted with touchscreens, medical screening devices and videoconferencing capabilities that enable Nicklaus Children's Hospital medical providers to see and treat adults and children age 2 and older. It has two-way, high-definition video screens that deliver a unique face-to-face experience between patients and care providers, and features digital medical devices, including a stethoscope, scale, blood pressure cuff, pulse oximeter, thermometer, otoscope and magnascope, that stream medical information to the care provider and patient.
School District employees can make an appointment or walk into the administration office and use the HealthSpot station to seek treatment for minor common conditions such as fever, colds and flu, skin conditions, earaches, sore throat, sinus and upper respiratory infections, and seasonal allergies.
The HealthSpot station is launched through a partnership between Nicklaus Children's Hospital, part of Miami Children's Health System, and UnitedHealthcare.
"The partnership between UnitedHealthcare and Nicklaus Children's Hospital has made it possible for our employees to take advantage of a convenient and cost-effective option as part of their total health care package," said Dr. Robert Avossa, superintendent of The School District of Palm Beach County. "Many of our employees will benefit greatly from this resource, and I encourage them to learn more about the options and capabilities it can provide to them and their families."
"At Nicklaus Children's Hospital, we continuously seek opportunities to serve children and families wherever the need arises," said Dr. Narendra Kini, president and CEO of Miami Children's Health System. "Through our program MCH Anywhere, which includes initiatives such as the Healthspot station, we offer convenient access to board-certified clinicians capable of serving adults and children. We believe that this unique service will be a valued convenience to employees of The School District of Palm Beach County."
For School District employees enrolled in UnitedHealthcare benefit plans, the cost of a visit at the HealthSpot station will come with significant savings when compared to costs for similar minor medical needs treated at a doctor's office, urgent care facility or emergency room. UnitedHealthcare plan participants pay a portion of the cost, subject to deductibles, copays and out-of-pocket expenses based on their specific benefit plan. UnitedHealthcare is one of the largest health insurance providers in the state with more than 3.1 million people enrolled in employer-sponsored, individual, Medicare and Medicaid health plans.
"We are grateful for the opportunity to work with The School District of Palm Beach County and Nicklaus Children's Hospital. These community leaders are embracing innovative options for providing people with convenient and cost-effective access to health care," said Nicholas Zaffiris, CEO of UnitedHealthcare of South Florida. "We believe The School District of Palm Beach County employees will appreciate the HealthSpot station and the technology and quality care it provides."
Consumers are taking advantage of mobile health and telemedicine services in greater numbers each year. More than 10 million people benefited from using telemedicine services last year, according to the American Telemedicine Association, and a recent Harris Poll survey found that more than a quarter of consumers (27 percent) would choose a telemedicine visit if the option was available to them.
"HealthSpot's patient-centered platform will help control costs for employers and employees, while enabling better health and wellness for the workforce of The Palm Beach County School District and their children," said Steve Cashman, HealthSpot founder and CEO. "The HealthSpot station brings convenience to the employees while uniquely connecting them to Nicklaus Children's Hospital care providers for the highest quality care."
In 2013, Miami Children's Health System launched MCH Anywhere, the first pediatric program of its kind in South Florida. Miami Children's Health System telehealth access helps eliminate barriers of time and distance to support families in receiving timely health care guidance. The program is supported by a state-of-the-art Telehealth Command Center, located at the hospital's main campus and designed by doctors and consumer experts to support review of diagnostic information by board-certified clinicians through sophisticated videoconferencing.

BkiUboQ4uzki0w6oNE_j | Several machine learning and knowledge discovery approaches have been proposed for count data modeling and classification. In particular, latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) (Blei et al., 2003a) has received a lot of attention and has been shown to be extremely useful in several applications. Although the LDA is generally accepted to be one of the most powerful generative models, it is based on the Dirichlet assumption which has some drawbacks as we shall see in this paper. Thus, our goal is to enhance the LDA by considering the generalized Dirichlet distribution as a prior. The resulting generative model is named latent generalized Dirichlet allocation (LGDA) to maintain consistency with the original model. The LGDA is learned using variational Bayes which provides computationally tractable posterior distributions over the model׳s hidden variables and its parameters. To evaluate the practicality and merits of our approach, we consider two challenging applications namely text classification and visual scene categorization. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUd5U5qhDBcOf_c9II | In her fourth post about her travels, she'll introduce you to the culinary highlights of Thai cuisine.
I love Bangkok! Why? Because to me, Bangkok is also a city of crazy-lively-organised chaos – and one that has the best street food anywhere on every street corner! Walk past even the tiniest stand on the streets, and the smells are simply heavenly. A city of millions that never sleeps, and has more than enough for anyone. Whether a temple or a party, fashion or food, culture or the very latest in art or fashion, everyone lives and loves what and whom they like. Somehow, everything in Bangkok is completely abnormal and yet entirely normal at the same time. A Thai curry in Thailand is not just a Thai curry, but the flavours and spiciness in it are far more intensive than anywhere else! Of course, the whole atmosphere is extremely important. At 11 in the evening, you can be sitting on a little plastic chair with countless other people on a tiny street, Thais and tourists all mixed up, with the thermometer reading 30 degrees, and the many different spices and flavours appear to be dancing in the air around you – you can immerse yourself in them completely. A city where sheer curiosity has you longing to see, experience and try more and more of it!
The sunset from the SO Sofitel Hotel over Lumpini Park. Unbeatable!
An ultra-cute restaurant with MEGA good food is the Feuang Nara Thai at BTS Chang Nonsi station. Be sure to order the tom yum with coconut milk & crevettes, green curry, som tam & water spinach with garlic.
Late-night street food on Silom 38 Street – pad thai and mango sticky rice.

"Rut & Lek Seafood" for the best seafood in Chinatown, Bangkok.
Massages! Available cheaply on every street corner, and particularly welcome if you've been on your feet all day.
… The "tuktuk" drivers drive so fast and so wildly that you would think they are driving for their lives! It's best just to switch off mentally and trust them – the chances of arriving safely at your destination are excellent!
… Even if you think you like really spicy food, if you order "Thai spicy" it's seriously, seriously hot.
If you want to say hello to someone, men say "Sawadee kap" and ladies "Sawade kha. Why? The Thais add the words "kap" and "kha" at the end of almost every sentence because it is considered polite. So for a man it's "kap", and for a woman "kah". THANK YOU = "Kop kuhn kap" for a man, and "Kop kuhn kha" for a woman. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbKg5qsNCPdQKsqn6 | A sterling silver cuff bracelet, made by the important American-modernist silversmith Ed Wiener. This two layer bracelet is an early, rarely-offered design, and I have not seen another example with a question mark overlay— usually the cutaway on the top layer is a blackened, empty space. The silver sheets used in the fabrication of this cuff are soldered together only at the cuff ends— there is space between the layers where the bracelet curves at the center. This is unique and impressive in wear . . . a gem in any advanced collection of modernist jewelry. Marked Ed Wiener, Sterling.
Excellent. Metal shows light surface wear, consistent with normal use.
Inside measures 6" end-to-end (measurement is taken with a soft tape). Gap (opening) is 1 1/4". Bracelet measures 22.75 mm high in the center (at the narrowest point), and 46.3 mm at the widest point. This fits a 6 1/2 - 7 inch wrist. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUfQo4uzliCsUqrMVv | Bath ran in six tries as they made light of Sam Burgess's return to rugby league by beating 14-man London Irish.
Wales international Rhys Priestland's early penalty, followed by conversions of tries for both Leroy Houston and Ollie Devoto gave Bath a 17-0 lead.
Despite Irish scrum-half Brendan McKibbin's red card, Scott Steele's try whittled it back to 17-7 by the break.
But Bath ran in four second half-tries from Alafoti Faosiliva, Kyle Eastmond, Priestland and Nikola Matawalu.
Irish were always up against it from the 20th minute onwards after Australian scrum-half McKibbin was sent off for stamping on prop Henry Thomas's head.
And their only second-half response was a try from Fergus Mulchrone 11 minutes after the break, also converted by Shane Geraghty.
Former Exiles full-back Tom Homer, playing against his old club for the first time, then England fly-half George Ford took over Bath's second-half kicking duties.
Homer converted the first two before Ford came off the bench to also get on the scoresheet by improving the last two.
The fourth of Bath's six tries earned the visitors a bonus point as they recorded their eighth win in nine visits to the Madejski Stadium to hand the Exiles a fourth straight Premiership defeat.
Along with Newcastle, who were beaten at Worcester, Irish are one of two teams at the foot of the table still seeking their first point.
Bath confirmed on Friday that they had "settled on agreeable terms" to allow rugby league convert Burgess to return to the 13-man code and rejoin Australian side South Sydney Rabbitohs.
The momentum appeared to swing London Irish's way in the 20th minute when Bath flanker Alafoti Fa'osiliva was yellow carded for a late tackle and the Exiles were awarded a penalty try.
However, replays showed that in the build-up, Irish scrum-half McKibbin had stamped on Henry Thomas - for which referee Tom Foley brandished a red card and the penalty try was chalked off.
The effect of the extra man was not immediately apparent as, within five minutes of Faosiliva's return, Ollie Devoto was then sin-binned too for a late shoulder charge on Shane Geraghty.
But Bath raced out of the traps after the break when Fa'osiliva and centre Kyle Eastmond touched down within two minutes of each other.
Once fellow centre Devoto had returned to bring the visitors back up to their full complement of players, there was no doubt about the end result.
A first try for the club from Priestland after a strong diagonal run followed and, when Asaeli Tikoirotuma failed to deal with Semesa Rokoduguni's chipped kick, Nikola Matawalu finished things off.
"I didn't have a chance to go back and view (the red card) closely so I'm not going to comment about what happened.
"We're going to have to look at the discipline from our point of view.
"I would have liked to have got a couple of bonus points from some of our losses but you have to be realistic about where we are.
"I haven't come over here to sit around and lose. We've just got to be careful that we don't get ahead of ourselves. We're a team that has been under achievers and we're desperate to prove ourselves."
"Myself and (captain) Stuart Hooper spoke to Sam Burgess on Monday. He said he would address the team and at no point did he mention he wanted to leave.
"Whether I was naive or not I was hoping that he'd get through that week, but we never got that chance.
"We're pleased after everything that's happened. We got some good tries from the backs and we're looking forward to Toulon now.
"We couldn't handle their drive. The discipline of our defence was poor, and then the turning point (McKibbin's red card) was massive. That turnaround is good fortune for us, bad luck for them."

"Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" Star Mary Cosby Married Her Dead Grandmother's 2nd Husband to Take Over the Family Business
GOT Staff
Published September 9th, 2020 at 8:01 pm
Bravo has a new show called Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, and it has been revealed that one of their castmates has a VERY interesting backstory.
According to the bio of cast member Mary Cosby, who is described as a proud "Pentecostal First Lady," she married her late grandmother's second husband in order to take over the family business.
And not only did she wed her dead grandma's husband, but they also share a teenage son and have been in marital bliss for the past two decades.
Cosby's cast bio reads:
With a penchant for God, couture and only the finest champagne, Mary Cosby is a Pentecostal First Lady who inherited her family's empire of churches, restaurants and more.
The caveat in her taking over the family business was that she marry her late grandmother' s second husband, Robert Cosby Sr. They have since been married for 20 years and have one teenage son together.
Small but mighty and always dressed to the nines, her unconventional past has made her guarded and she quickly finds herself on shaky ground with some of the ladies.
Well, that's one way to move up in the world, ain't it?!
Watch the trailer for RHOSLC, which is set to premiere on Bravo Wednesday, November 11th at 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT below:

BkiUd3A5qdmDGQAJYyFr | The photoreading technique (which we usually call 'downloading') is one-step in the PhotoReading Whole Mind System. Jan Cisek is a certified PhotoReading instructor, and on the speed reading/photoreading courses you will master photoreading as well as speed reading techniques. In short, the PhotoReading Whole Mind System is basically a five-step speed reading system with just one different technique ie the photoreading/downloading step.
The photoreading/downloading step is the only technique which relies solely on the non-conscious mind, and it is the technique which enables you to take in information at speeds of up to 20,000 words per minute. Please note that photoreading/downloading is not reading in a conventional, sequential, one word at a time, way.
On our speed reading courses, you will learn all aspects of the PhotoReading Whole Mind system, as well as speed reading techniques, in a way which allows you to use them in whichever combination most suits your requirements.
What is the difference between the PhotoReading Whole Mind System and Spd Rdng?
The PhotoReading Whole Mind System, as developed by Paul R. Scheele, is a five-step sequential speed reading system that includes 1. Preparation 2. Preview 3. PhotoReading 4. Postview and 5. Activation.
Spd Rdng, developed by Jan Cisek and Susan Norman, is a flexible speed reading system based on 37 speed reading and photoreading/downloading techniques. Spd rdng can be used in a sequence ie in four steps: 1. Preview 2. Work session 3. Rapid read 4. Review. In many ways, Spd Rdng goes beyond traditional speed reading and photoreading techniques and offers more choice, flexibility and effectiveness for anyone who wants to read more and faster.

The second in Jaclyn Moriarty's brilliant, acclaimed fantasy trilogy, The Colors of Madeleine!
Picking up where A CORNER OF WHITE left off, Elliot is more determined to find his father than ever, now that he knows he's still alive. But first he must help Princess Ko find her own missing family, as the secret search for the royals of Cello begins. As part of the Royal Youth Alliance, Elliot will travel all over the Kingdom of Cello looking for any clue or detail or spell that could bring them (and maybe his own father) home. But once he learns that the royal family has been trapped in the World all this time, with no memory of their former lives, his real value to the Alliance becomes clear: He's the only one with a connection to the World, through Madeleine.
Together, through notes, letters, and late nights, Elliot and Madeleine must find a way to travel across worlds and bring missing loved ones home. The stakes are high, the writing both hilarious and heart-poundingly suspenseful, and the experience of reading it, sheer pleasure

Missouri teachers: No talking to students on Facebook
By Tech
Monday Aug 1, 2011 8:54 AM
You won't find teachers in Missouri friending their students on Facebook, or any other social network for that matter, this school year — not unless they want to violate a new law in the state that prohibits such contacts.
Senate Bill 54, signed into law by the Gov. Jay Nixon and taking effect Aug. 28, is quickly becoming known as the "Facebook law" in Missouri, although the bill is creates what is known as the "Amy Hestir Student Protection Act." Hestir was a Missouri public school student who was molested by a teacher decades ago; the law basically requires school districts to report any allegations of sexual abuse to state authorities within 24 hours.
School districts will also be liable if they fail to disclose suspected or known abuse by past employees to other public school districts that make inquiries about those workers.
But buried deep in the bill is Section 162.069 is a mandate that references social networking sites, as well as teachers not being allowed to have a "nonwork-related website that allows exclusive access with a current or former student":
By January 1, 2012, every school district must develop a written policy concerning teacher-student communication and employee-student communications. Each policy must include appropriate oral and nonverbal personal communication, which may be combined with sexual harassment policies, and appropriate use of electronic media as described in the act, including social networking sites. Teachers cannot establish, maintain, or use a work-related website unless it is available to school administrators and the child's legal custodian, physical custodian, or legal guardian.
Some teachers think the law is overkill for what's needed to ensure student safety.
Randy Turner, Joplin East Middle School communication arts teacher, wrote on her blog that "hundreds of teachers across the state who have effectively used Facebook and other social networking sites to communicate with students, and I am one of those, will have to trash years worth of work, because all teachers are potential criminals" in the view of the author of the bill, State Sen. Jane Cunningham.
"The teachers I know who communicate with students through Facebook have a large number of parents as 'friends' and most of the communication with students is done on the Facebook wall," Turner wrote.
And, she noted, the bill went through "in spite of the positive effect that teachers and students being Facebook friends had on Joplin Schools' effort to locate students after the May 22 tornado."

BkiUbPc4eIXgu2VZm6w8 | You must have seen most people use metal for their building these days, but you wonder why they can't choose other materials.
It is no secret anymore, people, especially business people are choosing metal building over other materials because of their consistency and durability.
Everyone's wish is to cut cost, but the problem is that most people don't know the tricks on how to reduce costs. But what if someone could give you the hack? Is that something you'd love? If yes, let's proceed.
Have you ever known that it is way much costly to build a house using bricks and wood than when you use metals? Well, that's the truth. You can procure and cast metals at a lesser cost compared to bricks and wood.
When you finally complete your building, your roofs will be made of metals, which probably will be coated with heat-deflectors. That means that the amount you will use to heat and cool will be way less compared to the traditional buildings. Besides, metals are not easily damaged by termites. That also means, you will save more money that you would have used for maintenance.
Metals have a higher strength to weight ratio – that's when you compare them with other building materials. So, metals are durable and stronger; hence they can last for a very long time before you even think of doing some repair. Don't you think that'll save you?
During winter seasons, most people do repairs on their roofs because they know their roofs will be blown, but that's not what someone with a metal roof will think of doing. Because of the strength that metals have, storms can't blow your roof away. If you need steel buildings, this company can help you.
Another reason why people are choosing metals over other materials is that they can be prefabricated. That means you can ship framed metal structures to your construction site. This will help you save time.
If you need metal frames, you can inquire from your relatives or friends to recommend their best company and purchase some for your building. If you come from Columbia, JDG construction can assist you.
The environment is, and therefore, you must make sure that you conserve it. When you erect a wood house, there is a possibility that you are going to generate waste of 50 cubic feet. With metals, that is not the case.
Damages characterize traditional homes from insects, cracks or even other natural disturbances. With metal homes, this isn't the case. First, insects can't damage metals as they do to wood. Secondly, it's almost impossible for metals to crack.
Lastly, you don't have to inspect your house every time as you'd do with a traditional home. Metal buildings remain strong and intact no matter what condition.
If you are living in areas prone to natural disasters like strong winds, hurricanes, then you deserve a house made from metal. Metal houses are less likely to be affected by such calamities. That's why you should go for a metal building.
If you are a business person, you wouldn't like to hear that your shop was affected by wind. Instead of all that loss, why can't you go for a metal building?
Generally, metal buildings are better than the traditional buildings – starting from security all the way to durability. Try metal building today and get the experience. | c4 | 2 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdq05qhDACtS7g9aq | At a health care town hall last year, our representative said that US citizens have not given Congress a mandate for health care.
Expensive: any ER visit costs more than a whole day of visits to my rural family medicine clinic.
Last minute: the emergency room doesn't do chronic care. Their purpose is to 1. try to stop someone from dying and 2. decide if the person should be hospitalized or should follow up in clinic. They do not do prenatal care, treat high blood pressure, treat diabetes, depression, high cholesterol, alcoholism. They do not do chronic care and aren't meant to.
Cruel: you can go to the emergency room to try to keep from dying. Say you go coughing blood. They find a lung cancer. Now, you have a choice: be treated and maybe you will survive or maybe you will die anyhow and your house will be sold to pay for the medical care. Do you choose to go home instead and die so that your family inherits the house?
The United States spends twice as much per person as the next most expensive health care system in the world and they have universal health care and we don't. We care more for corporate profit then US citizens and visitors health. I cringe when the discussion is about health INSURANCE not health CARE.
I am a physician but I also own my own business. As a small business owner, I think that I will soon have to close. Why? I am in my 50s with a daughter. I think that within two years my HEALTH INSURANCE will cost more than I pay myself. And I will close the clinic.
We need health CARE not health INSURANCE. The Obamacare law said that health insurance companies can ONLY keep 20 cents of every health care dollar they collect, down from 22.5 cents. They have to spend 80 cents on health care. For medicare the overhead is 2-3 cents per dollar.
Medicare for all, single payer. Put 97 cents of every health care dollar to health care instead of only 80 cents. Or shall we continue down the road to small business and local government collapse and citizen health collapse?
Congress, you can't wheel and deal your way out of this one. We want health care for our dollar not insurance.
For the Daily Prompt: wheel.
This entry was posted in adverse childhood experiences, children, financing healthcare, health care costs, health insurance, mental health, rural doctor, rural medicine, your health care dollar and tagged care, Congress, deal, health, Health Care, health insurance, mandate, photography, wheel.
I just heard that the nation's wealthiest Americans would get a hefty tax cut from the Senate health care bill. Those in the top 0.1%, earning $5 million or more, would receive an average tax cut of nearly $250,000 in 2026, according to a new analysis by the Tax Policy Center. Those in the top 1%, who earn $875,000 and up, would see an average tax savings of $45,500 a year.
Yes, and meanwhile my disabled and poorest and elderly poor would lose coverage….great, it's CongressHood, robbing from the poor, to further enrich the richest. So greatest country in what sense? Greed?
I can't press "like" because I am so angry at Congress and the greed of the top 0.1%. What, they need solid gold bathroom fixtures?
Trump thinks that he is doing a great job at draining the swamp, but from where I stand it seems to be getting bigger and deeper.
Very thought-provoking post. My family has dealt with all kinds of issues with healthcare. It's just not right.
Thank you. I think it is not moral to say people can go to the emergency room but have to lose their house and descend into poverty to get cancer treatment or heart treatment or help them after a car wreck. It is a heartless cruel immoral system. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 4 |
BkiUd185qhDBaN64SSxI | In the late 1880s, a teenage Marcel Proust (July 10, 1871–November 18, 1922) received a curious questionnaire from a friend named Antoinette as part of her "confession album," a Victorian version of today's popular personality tests. Proust's original manuscript, titled "by Marcel Proust himself," wasn't discovered until shortly after his death. It was auctioned in 2003 for over 100,000 euros.
In 1993, Vanity Fair started publishing various celebrities' and public figures' answers to the Proust Questionnaire on the last page of each issue. Among the most delightful of all their installments was that by David Bowie, published in the magazine in August of 1998.
The Proust Questionnaire is a time honored approach to exploring the intersection of work and personality. To honor the recent passing of the great, cultural icon, David Bowie -- he died on January 10, 2016, at the age of 69 -- and as prelude to posed2's adaptation of this tradition -- we present here a transcript of Bowie's Proust Questionnaire.
In future installments, we plan to feature questionnaires completed by the rising stars of Generation Z. Download the posed2 app; play posed2 games; and get your name on the posed2 leader board. Perhaps you will be the next star of posed2's "3 Minute Proust"!

BkiUdWw5qg5A59Bh1Cs_ | The last business to reopen its doors following the Upper Street flooding last year has done so just in time for "Angel Day" – the official reopening of the shopping district.
Thai Square sits right in front of the water main that burst on December 5 and devastated shops and homes.
Six businesses were forced to close completely and many homeowners are still involved in drawn-out insurance claims with Thames Water.
The restaurant was forced to close for 11 months due to the damage caused by the flood, and manager Mannuthat Tanpradit said it was a good feeling to finally be able to open its doors again on Thursday.
"Our basement is the kitchen area and the whole thing was flooded," he said. "We were only meant to be closed for a few months but there were delays with the insurance and we had to make sure everything was dried out.
"But we are here now! There's a very energetic, excited feeling for us here. But we had a dilemma with the opportunity to re-do everything.
Thai Square's reopening came shortly after the Thames Water workers packed up and left after months of road closures to fix the Victorian pipe.
And the Angel.London business improvement district plans to celebrate in style with Angel Day on November 18.
The event has even attracted Father Christmas himself, who will be joined by his elves and reindeer when he switches on the Christmas lights at 5pm.
Musicians will also be playing and there will be hot chestnuts in Chapel Market, mulled wine and hot cider tea in Camden Passage and the cast from Hoxton Hall's Puss in Boots will also be making an appearance.
As promised, Thames Water has contributed "significantly" to the entertainment, as well as the Christmas lights and signposts for the district, which will be erected next year.
As well as the usual sparkling Christmas lights, there will be new illuminations in Camden Passage and 40 trees along Upper Street will also be lit up. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdeA5qrqCyw_Jg2_1 | Paula was a fantastic guide. I had so much fun!
We had a wonderful adventure with Lima Home Cooked. Our market visit was very informative and spending time in the home of our host was a special treat. We learned how to cook several Peruvian dishes, a hands on activity! We would highly recommend this cultural experience!!!!!
Hungry for Peru? Get a taste for local life and local cuisine with this Lima food tour that takes you out of the touristy restaurants and into a local home. Learn to make ceviche and the perfect pisco sour, and get your shopping fix in a local market filled with foodie goodies. Then settle in for a fun family meal with new friends.
The Front Door of the Virgen Milagrosa Church, next to Miraflores City Hall in Kennedy Park.
Learn more about Peruvians (and Peruvian food!) with a home cooked Lima food tour that will teach you to prepare traditional recipes handed down over generations. Even if you're a novice in the kitchen, we'll have you whipping up a classic ceviche in no time.
This Lima food tour takes you to a local family home in Chorrillos (south of Barranco and Miraflores). But before you go, you'll stop at a local market to discover some Peruvian treasures (yes, we mean food — the best kind of treasures!). Explore a huge variety of fruits, vegetables, and fiery spices, and maybe make a purchase or two. From aji limo to aji mirasol and aji panca to cumin, plus the wonderful fresh limes, chirimoya, and lucuma fruits, this place really is a feast for your senses.
Next, you'll travel like a local and take a city bus to Chorrillos in the south corner of Lima, a residential neighbourhood free from touristy traps. Your Lima food tour takes you to the house of a local family, where the star is Doña Mechita, a caring Peruvian mother and the best cook in her family. She'll share her family recipes and traditions with you in her home, and you'll learn about culinary practices that reflect generations of local women.
You'll learn to prepare a classic ceviche, Peru's national dish, made with fresh fish caught that day and a yummy mix of limes, onions, coriander, and a few other secret ingredients. You'll also try a surprisingly good Maracuya drink. Never heard of it? This passion fruit drink is typical of Lima and is one of the most consumed beverages by limeños. Doña Mechita will also teach you to prepare a delicious causa limeña made with potatoes, chilies, and lime to accompany your ceviche. And to round it all out, you'll enjoy a pisco sour, with a demonstration on how to make them just right using an original recipe just for you.
For Peruvians, sharing cuisine represents more than just eating — it represents knowledge, tradition, home life, and, of course, fun. So fancy learning how Peruvians cook? There's no place like home to start.
Dress standard: Latin Americans can be very conscious of appearance so try to be casual but conservative in your dress. Outside of beach areas halter tops and very short shorts should not be worn. When visiting churches or religious sites shoulders and knees should be covered.
Additional Information: Due to Peruvian tax regulations, you must bring your original passport and Andean immigration card along with you on the tour. If you do not have these, you will be charged a tax of USD 15. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUcWXxK4sA-5Y3rqkv | Akron Rubberducks infielder Ronny Rodriguez returns to action after missing the first part of the season with a wrist injury.
AKRON, Ohio -- Akron RubberDucks infielder Ronny Rodriguez is glad to be back. He returned to Akron on Tuesday for his first game of the season after suffering a wrist injury in spring training.
"I was down inside when that happened to me the last week of spring training,'' Rodriguez said earlier this week. "I was ready for the season."
Now, after he has finished rehab, Rodriguez is ready to go. "I have been swinging the bat now for three weeks,'' he said.
Rodriguez, 23, is a welcome addition as last season he had 25 doubles and five homers, even while hitting .228. According to manager Dave Wallace, the undrafted free agent is about to see a lot of action all over the diamond.
Rodriguez has played in three games since his return, getting one hit in nine plate appearances. But the defensive value he brings to the infield defines what could be a successful track to the major leagues.
Getting hot: It may have taken longer than anticipated, but outfielder Anthony Gallas, a Kent State product, seems to have found his groove. He takes a six-game hitting streak into the weekend which includes home runs in three straight games.
Gallas has had nagging injuries, but over the last four games has gone 8-for-14 with three homers and seven RBI. The three straight games with a homer marks a first in Gallas' career. He has five homers on the season.
Parking services: Gallas was not the only RubberDuck who homered last week. Yandy Diaz, the singles-hitting third baseman, hit his first homer. But he had to leave Wednesday's game after taking a pitch off the wrist. He did not play Thursday and is day-to-day for a weekend road series at Reading, Pennsylvania.
Before the injury he had hit safely in 15 of 17 games and had seen his average rise to .294. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUgBw5qhDCtKbND5fb | Alberta dealers raised $800K to help Conservatives win provincial election
Harry Pegg
Retuers
Auto dealers in Alberta believe Premier-elect Jason Kenney, above, will be more business friendly than outgoing NDP Premier Rachel Notley.
Alberta's auto dealers who financially backed the United Conservative Party in a big way are applauding political party's overwhelming victory in this week's provincial election.
Denis Ducharme, president of the Motor Dealers Association of Alberta (MDA), which organized a fund-raising campaign aimed at defeating the NDP government, said "I'm ecstatic."
The MDA raised $800,000 for the campaign, money Ducharme said was well spent.
The unprecedented anti-NDP action by auto dealers was spurred by what the MDA viewed as "increasingly restrictive measures imposed by the government without consultation with the industry."
"We were being labelled as though we want to eliminate consumer protection rules and worker safety legislation," Ducharme said at the time the campaign was launched. "That is simply not true."
The final straw was the provincial carbon tax. Dealers said the levy increased heating, cooling and lighting costs at stores. They also said the tax increased the price of fuel for purchases and for demo vehicles.
"I was amazed at the number of people I met who were aware of the dealer involvement and who said they were happy that the auto industry got involved," said Ducharme, who was at the campaign victory celebration of Premier-elect Jason Kenney.
He said he expects the new government to "stick to their mandate" regarding the economy and getting people back to work.
The new government, he added, will become more open to communicating with the dealer group.
"We have some issues we'd like to talk to them about regarding regulations the NDP brought in. We'd like to bring the dealer-customer relationship back to a more balanced experience."
Perry Itzcovitch, of the Hyatt Auto Group and chairman of the Canadian Automobile Dealers Association, said the vote result is "fantastic."
"We now have a leader familiar with the federal platform and who is bilingual. The future is brighter than it has been in four years," he said.
Itzcovitch said he had delivered a speech to MDA members supporting donations to the anti-NDP fund.
"I said, quite simply: 'Think of what your business will look like in another four years of the NDP.'
"Automotive guys stepping up was a call to arms for other industries," he said. "I'm super happy with the outcome."
He expects the new government to "fight for what we need to fight for – to restore Alberta's place in the economy, to bring back the Alberta advantage."I expect him to stand up to Ottawa."
Calgary Motor Dealers Association Executive Manager Jim Gillespie, described the UCP win as "a home run for small business in Alberta."
He said he foresees less regulatory red tape, less government interference and measures to get people back to work.
His expectations for the new government: "We need to wake the province up and get business moving again." | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

BkiUdYU4uzqh_OyQcYTx | Astronauts Complete Fourth Spacewalk
HOUSTON – Restoration of a failed computer system returned life to a regular rhythm on the international space station Sunday, as two astronauts completed the fourth spacewalk since space shuttle Atlantis docked with the outpost a week ago.
"We're slowly moving back into a normal mode of operations," station commander Fyodor Yurchikhin radioed Mission Control in Moscow.
• Click here to watch live coverage from NASA's Mission Control.
Click here for FOXNews.com's Space center.
The "normal mode" included the last spacewalk of the mission, a previously unscheduled fourth trip outside the space station that finished up tasks originally scheduled for last Friday's third spacewalk. Astronauts on the third spacewalk had the unplanned job of repairing a thermal blanket, which had peeled back near Atlantis' tail during the June 8 launch.
The nearly 6 1/2-hour spacewalk ended with astronauts Patrick Forrester and Steven Swanson completing nearly all of their tasks.
They activated a rotating joint — their top priority — on the outpost's newest segment so a new pair of solar wings can track the sun and provide power to the station. The solar arrays were delivered to the space station by Atlantis.
The astronauts also set up a new camera stanchion outside the station's newest segment and a computer network cable between the United States and Russian sides of the space station. They were not able to bolt down a problematic debris shield and instead secured it in place with tethers.
At the end of the day, flight controllers on the ground planned to give the rotating joint a small test by moving it 5 degrees. A more thorough test to see whether the solar arrays track the sun was in store on Monday.
Flight controllers on Monday planned to test the space station's thrusters, which haven't been used since the crash last week of the Russian computers, which control orientation and oxygen production.
Yurchikhin and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kotov got four of the six computer processors operating again on Friday. The remaining two were brought back online on Saturday but then flipped back off to be "in cold standby mode" so that they could be used if needed.
"We can report that things are still improving," said flight director Holly Ridings.
With the exception of an oxygen generator, all of the space station systems that were powered down when the computers failed were back running.
Mission managers will decide after the station's thrusters are put to the test whether Atlantis needs to spend another day at the outpost. During the computer meltdown, Atlantis' thrusters were used to help the station maintain its orientation.
Atlantis is set to undock on Tuesday and land Thursday in Cape Canaveral, Fla.
"We're going to give it a checkout," Ridings said. "We'll make sure the computers are still talking to the thrusters and prove to ourselves that we've got everything we need in order to undock safely."
While the seven-member crew of Atlantis and the three-man crew of the space station spent Father's Day 220 miles above Earth, the holiday didn't slip the minds of the nine fathers at the outpost who collectively have 24 children.
"Happy Father's Day to everybody downstairs," said U.S. astronaut Clay Anderson. | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 4 | 1 |
BkiUdZU4uBhiwapZwb7I | Q: What kind of f(n)'s make the limsup statement is true? What kind don't? What kind of $f(n): \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{N}$'s make the ff statement true? What kind don't?
$\limsup A_{f(n)} \subseteq \limsup A_n$ where $n \in \mathbb{N}$ (*)
Well obviously the answers to each are:
$(f(n) \ | \ \limsup A_{f(n)} \subseteq \limsup A_n)$
and
$(f(n) \ | \ \limsup A_{f(n)} \subsetneq \limsup A_n)$
respectively, but I am wondering about some possible subsets of each.
For instance
$3n^2 + 5n \in (f(n) \ | \ \limsup A_{f(n)} \subseteq \limsup A_n)$?
or in general
$(f(n) = \sum_{i=0}^{m} a_in^i\ | a_in^i \in \mathbb{N}, m \in \mathbb{N}) \subseteq (f(n) \ | \ \limsup A_{f(n)} \subseteq \limsup A_n)$? If this is right then I guess all polynomial functions whose range $\in \mathbb{N}$ make (*) true.
What if $m = \infty$?
What about continuous functions whose range $\in \mathbb{N}$?
What about some counterexamples to (*)? I think a simple piecewise or discontinuous function will do, but I can't think of any.
A: Not a full answer to your question, but maybe this can help.
For any $x$ define $A_{x}:=\left\{ n\in\mathbb{N}\mid x\in A_{n}\right\} $
and $B_{x}:=\left\{ n\in\mathbb{N}\mid x\in A_{f\left(n\right)}\right\} $.
Then $x\in\limsup A_{n}$ if and only if $A_{x}$ is infinite, and
$x\in\limsup A_{f\left(n\right)}$ if and only if $B_{x}$ is infinite.
Note that $n\in B_{x}\iff x\in A_{f\left(n\right)}\iff f\left(n\right)\in A_{x}$
showing that $B_{x}=f^{-1}\left(A_{x}\right)$.
Now we can say that
$\limsup A_{f\left(n\right)}\subseteq\limsup A_{n}$ is true iff the
implication: $$A_{x}\text{ is finite}\Rightarrow f^{-1}\left(A_{x}\right)\text{ is finite}$$
is true for each $x$.
It is immedeately clear that $f$ will satisfy this condition if it is injective and this can be weakened.

BkiUexLxK7kjXIdHAGWy | Adding Criminal Law And Procedure To Your Fiction
V.S. Kemanis
The Case for Getting it Right
For my novels about a female prosecutor, much of the "legal research" is in my head from a career in criminal justice and the court system. Police work and courtroom drama are great for building suspense. I also strive for accuracy under the law.
Authors: Should you be concerned with accuracy? After all, you're writing fiction. If you get it wrong, the lawyers and law enforcement professionals reading your stories are likely to notice—but does it matter? I actually enjoy yelling "Objection!" at the abominable mistakes of TV lawyers. It's kind of fun.
Popular entertainment is full of inaccuracies. In an earlier Sidebar Saturdays article about Cops and Robbers and Lawyers by Brian Thiem, the thriller author and veteran detective points out that NYC Detective Danny Reagan in Blue Bloods is outlandishly unrealistic because of his disregard and ignorance of the law. Danny's sister, Manhattan prosecutor Erin Reagan, is very by-the-book and forever reining him in. I find that Erin usually gets the law right, and the D.A.'s offices in Blue Bloods are exactly like my old trial bureau at 80 Centre Street in Manhattan. But Erin seems to be prosecuting her cases in the wrong court—the civil courthouse at 60 Centre Street, a much prettier building than the real Criminal Court Building at 100 Centre with its bizarre ziggurat. (Now, there's a word for you.)
It's your choice, but there's something to be said for doing your legal research. Today's savvy reader has a basic understanding of legal concepts. Probable cause. Miranda rights. Accuracy and detail could boost your creds. Obvious mistakes could turn some people off. Could. We don't know. As I said, I kind of enjoy them. If nothing else, reading up on criminal law and procedure can kick-start ideas for your crime stories and novels.
In this article, I'll pose fictional scenarios and tie them to legal principles under the U.S. Constitution. The 50 states are free to afford their citizens additional rights and protections. For example, New York has very liberal right-to-counsel rules; where an attorney has interceded, a defendant may not waive the right to counsel except in counsel's presence, whereas a knowing and voluntary waiver outside of counsel's presence is valid under the U.S. Constitution. So, if accuracy under state law is important to your story, you'll need to research the particular jurisdiction.
Search and Seizure: The Fourth Amendment
The Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution protects us against unreasonable searches by government officials. Search warrants must be based on probable cause. Under the exclusionary rule, evidence collected in violation of this constitutional right is not admissible in court.
If you want the evidence in your story to be admissible against your fictional suspect, ask yourself a few things:
Who is conducting the search?
Does the suspect have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the area searched?
Is there an exception to the warrant requirement?
Crime Scene I:
Police Officers, without a warrant or exigent circumstances, search Sheila's house because they've seen her with Bob, a suspected narcotics kingpin. While there, they seize a piece of paper that Bob left behind on his last visit—a cryptic note of narcotics deliveries.
Admissible against Bob: The Fourth Amendment right is personal. Bob doesn't have a "legitimate expectation of privacy" in Sheila's house and doesn't have "standing" to contest the illegal search.
Note: Here are some other great places to collect evidence against a suspect who has no legitimate expectation of privacy: Suspect's garbage; phone numbers the suspect dialed (pen register); smells detected by a trained police dog; a car in which the suspect is merely a passenger.
Note also: Because the Constitution protects us from government action, evidence gathered by a fictional amateur sleuth or private citizen P.I. would be admissible in court. But, watch out! Your protagonist may be committing crimes like trespass and burglary while snooping around!
Fruit of the Poisonous Tree
The U.S. Supreme Court first coined this phrase in 1939. Basically, where an ostensibly legal search is based on information obtained through illegal means, the evidence seized is tainted and inadmissible.
Crime Scene II:
Detective X arrests Suspect A for a jewelry heist, without probable cause or Miranda warnings. Hoping for favorable treatment, Suspect A rats on Suspect B as the mastermind who came up with the plans for the heist. Detective X applies for a search warrant, omitting any reference to his unlawful methods. The plans for the heist are seized from Suspect B's house pursuant to the warrant.
Inadmissible: Although the search warrant looks legit on its face, the evidence is tainted by Detective X's unlawful methods in obtaining the information for the warrant.
Note: Exceptions to the poisonous tree may come into play if the purpose of the exclusionary rule—to deter unlawful police conduct—is not present. Basically, the evidence might be admissible if it was discovered, or inevitably would have been discovered, by means independent of the taint, or if the officers conducting the search acted in good faith without knowledge of the taint.
When police are lawfully in a location where evidence is in plain view, they may seize it without a search warrant. The incriminating nature of the evidence must be immediately apparent, and the police must have a lawful right of access to the object.
Crime Scene III:
Detectives obtained a warrant permitting the search of a house for evidence of an illicit firearms business. While executing the warrant, they find a cache of automatic weapons in a bedroom and several plastic-sealed pounds of cocaine in a clothes closet.
Admissible: If the warrant authorizes them to search every part of the house, the drugs are in plain view where they are lawfully present.
Vehicle Exceptions
Searches of vehicles and closed containers within them may fall under a variety of exceptions to the warrant requirement, commonly called the "automobile exception," "search incident to arrest," and "inventory search." That said, the police cannot search a car just because it's a car. Whether an exception applies is often a nuanced inquiry based on the specific facts.
For your purposes, if you want the evidence seized from a vehicle to be admissible against your fictional perp, you will be in the legal ballpark if you remember these things:
an objectively legitimate reason for stopping the car;
probable cause to believe it contains evidence or contraband; and
a search limited in scope to the specific circumstances.
Crime Scene IV-a:
The body of Anne's husband has been discovered. Anne is a suspect, but the police have no evidence. Police Officers tail her car, hoping she'll commit a traffic offense, and lo and behold, she runs a red light. They pull her over, ask for her license and registration, and Anne calmly complies. An Officer tells her to pop the trunk, where they find a gun, the murder weapon.
Inadmissible: The true motivation for stopping the vehicle doesn't matter if there's an objectively legitimate basis (i.e. traffic infraction) for the stop. However, a traffic infraction alone does not give probable cause to search, and Anne did nothing during the encounter to give rise to probable cause. She can't be arrested for running a red light, so the search is not justified as incident to a lawful arrest.
Crime Scene IV-b:
Same as above, except that, after the stop, Officers ask Anne to step out of the car. At that point they see, through the open door, the butt of a gun sticking out from under the driver's seat. Anne is arrested, the gun is recovered, and then they open the trunk, finding blankets soaked with the husband's blood.
Admissible: Asking Anne to step out of the car is proper procedure for police safety. The gun is in plain view when the Officer is lawfully in the area from which it was observed. At that point, Anne's arrest is based on probable cause. The search of the trunk would fall under the automobile exception, incident to the arrest.
Crime Scene V:
Let's say that Police Officers do have probable cause to believe that Anne has murdered her husband and that the murder weapon or other evidence is in her car. They go to her house and find the car unoccupied, parked in the driveway next to the house. Without a warrant, they search the car and find the murder weapon.
Inadmissible: The automobile exception does not allow Police Officers to intrude on the "curtilage" (the area immediately surrounding the home) to gather evidence without a warrant.
If you'd like a starting point for further research, try these websites: Nolo and Justia. In future articles, I'll explore concepts of Arrest, Identification Procedures, Indictment, Guilty Plea, and Trial.

BkiUelA5qWTA6f4qEbmR | 1In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land, and a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to live in the country of Moab, he and his wife and two sons. 2The name of the man was Elimelech and the name of his wife Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion; they were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. They went into the country of Moab and remained there. 3But Elimelech, the husband of Naomi, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4These took Moabite wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. When they had lived there about ten years, 5both Mahlon and Chilion also died, so that the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.
6Then she started to return with her daughters-in-law from the country of Moab, for she had heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had considered his people and given them food. 7So she set out from the place where she had been living, she and her two daughters-in-law, and they went on their way to go back to the land of Judah. 8But Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go back each of you to your mother's house. May the Lord deal kindly with you, as you have dealt with the dead and with me. 9The Lord grant that you may find security, each of you in the house of your husband." Then she kissed them, and they wept aloud. 10They said to her, "No, we will return with you to your people." 11But Naomi said, "Turn back, my daughters, why will you go with me? Do I still have sons in my womb that they may become your husbands? 12Turn back, my daughters, go your way, for I am too old to have a husband. Even if I thought there was hope for me, even if I should have a husband tonight and bear sons, 13would you then wait until they were grown? Would you then refrain from marrying? No, my daughters, it has been far more bitter for me than for you, because the hand of the Lord has turned against me." 14Then they wept aloud again. Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her. 15So she said, "See, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law." 16But Ruth said, "Do not press me to leave you or to turn back from following you! Where you go, I will go; Where you lodge, I will lodge; your people shall be my people, and your God my God. 17Where you die, I will die— there will I be buried. May the Lord do thus and so to me, and more as well, if even death parts me from you!" 18When Naomi saw that she was determined to go with her, she said no more to her.
19So the two of them went on until they came to Bethlehem. When they came to Bethlehem, the whole town was stirred because of them; and the women said, "Is this Naomi?" 20She said to them, "Call me no longer Naomi, call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt bitterly with me. 21I went away full, but the Lord has brought me back empty; why call me Naomi when the Lord has dealt harshly with me, and the Almighty has brought calamity upon me?" 22So Naomi returned together with Ruth the Moabite, her daughter-in-law, who came back with her from the country of Moab. They came to Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest.
2Now Naomi had a kinsman on her husband's side, a prominent rich man, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz. 2And Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, "Let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain, behind someone in whose sight I may find favor." She said to her, "Go, my daughter." 3So she went. She came and gleaned in the field behind the reapers. As it happened, she came to the part of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

BkiUeKvxK1yAgYaM3U6v | Chicago Patchwork Farms is an urban vegetable and egg farm run by Katie Williams and Elise Robison across three pieces of land in the city of Chicago. We manage about an acre and a half of land, with about 3/4 of an acre in diversified vegetable production.
We run a 50 household CSA on site as well as a farm stand. We use these programs to connect our neighbors to healthy food and agricultural practices. On the farm, we also have a public garden and event space that is always open to the public so that people can relax and commune with our farm as well as our flower garden. We also go to 2 farmers markets within the city and sell to a handful of restaurants and grocery stores.
Beyond the human impact, our farm has an enormously positive impact on the ecology of the site. Just like most vacant land in Chicago, the site we built our farm on tested toxically high for lead before we started the farm. The levels averaged over 700 ppm across the entire area. The EPA's standard for bare soil in children's play areas is 400 ppm. Over the years we added large amounts of organic matter to the entire site, and now the growing areas test around 25 ppm, and the border areas measure around 70 ppm. Since we maintain native plantings around the borders of our growing areas, we have also seen a dramatic increase in insect and bird life on the farm--including monarch butterflies, hawks and kestrels! As it stands, the farm's very presence impacts the health of our community by increasing ecological diversity and by removing the threat of lead. Also, we only use OMRI-listed and organic soil amendments. We believe in cultivating a diverse and vibrant soil community in order to grow healthy and nutritious plants.
This year we began researching what it takes to start an urban farm in Chicago. We are interested in the financial, material, and social investments necessary to start a farm that will ultimately become financially self-sufficient. Currently, there are so few models of successful and sustainable urban farm businesses in Chicago we are conducting this research so that we can ultimately create a guide to starting a farm in Chicago. Our guide will also include instructions on navigating the city's laws and regulations as well as using the city's records to find farm-able land.
So far, we have gathered the contact information of all of the farm business in Chicago, including farms that are just getting started last year and this year. We have reached out to all of these farmers to let them know about our research and have sent them initial surveys. From these surveys, we are setting up interviews with the farmers. We are going to interview the farmers at the beginning and end of the 2018 season. We are looking to hear about their major barriers to running a successful farm as well as their best successes. We are going to find out what their initial investments were, what they used the money for, and how they have used that investment to grow a business. So far, we have been very encouraged by the support and participation of the other farmers. We are still very excited about this project and looking forward to creating the resource.
With this project, we hope to create a comprehensive resource so that people interested in starting a farm have a guide to follow, resources to consider, as well as contacts for other farmers who run successful farms. We plan to share this resource widely and to maintain it and update it as more farms start up and forge the way to self-sustaining urban agriculture.
We began by spreading the word about our research project and asking the community to put us in contact with all of the urban farmers they knew of in Chicago. Then, we reached out to each farm with a letter that described our project and included one of three surveys–a survey for established farms, a survey for farms in their first 3 seasons, or a survey for aspiring farmers.
This winter we have been following up with these surveys with interviews. We will interview each participant this winter and again in the fall. We will follow up with one last, final survey that will ask any questions that popped up during the interviews.
We won't have the final results from our research until we are done with all of the interviews and final surveys.
We are in the process of building an installation for the upcoming Midwest Urban Farmers Summit. This installation will be a way for farmers to contribute to our survey as well as review anonymized results from the survey as they come in.
At the summit, we will also be conducting interviews and further spreading the word about our research. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUaQnxK6wB9dbuQ_HL | Quick & Easy Healthy Sweet Treats!
I'm not a fan of depriving yourself in the quest to achieve the perfect body but I do believe in moderation. Rather than remove the sweet treats you love from your diet entirely, try a healthier, low sugar version! By allowing yourself a healthy sweet treat here and there you are less likely to get fed up with clean eating and binge on sugar filled nasties.
These days a quick google search should be able to find you a healthier alternative to your favourite dessert. Below are three tried and tested healthy sweet treat recipes that I love. Give them a go next time you feel a sugar craving coming on, I promise you won't be disappointed!
This mousse is super simple to whip up and has a silky smooth texture! Enjoy it with some blueberries, strawberries or dark choc chips for true indulgence.
Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes and enjoy!
This cake is a must try! The recipe comes from Grace, one of our BodySwitch 12 Week Challenge participants who introduced me to the 'mug cake' phenomenon. Like the mousse it is extremely quick and easy to make, has a nice moist texture and tastes great.
Serve with yoghurt and fruit and enjoy while warm!
If you're the type of person who gets sugar cravings at 3pm then these are the perfect solution! You can even have one before gym for a little energy boost.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor, or mix together with a wooden spoon (don't add water yet).
Gradually add cold water until the mixture reaches a doughy consistency.

BkiUcMPxK0-nUh8iI18i | Growing up, if your parents were anything like mine, we were disciplined. Alright, that's "frou-frou" for "we were spanked." Of course that wasn't the only form of punishment, but we soon learned that to do wrong brought with it very unfavorable consequences. Put simply, we associate pain with punishment. But, pain in some forms is not punishment at all, rather a reminder that we're human, and part of our condition, in addition to the joys, there will be pain.
Job sought for purpose behind his pain believing he had wronged God and was being punished for it. Nothing could have been further from the truth. In fact, he had the distinct honor of being considered by God as a "perfect man who shuns evil." Essentially, this was God's vote of confidence. This runs contrary to our human logic, but God created you and knows what you're fully capable of…even if it stretches us beyond the scope of human reason.
We may not always be able to make sense of our pain, but knowing God has the confidence in us to achieve victory, it's almost as if God has faith in US, while at the same time helping US build OUR faith in HIM! | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUfb85qhLBr1LtGG7f | More Consumers, Both Vegetarian and Omnivores, are Eating Plant-Based Protein
"Case shipments of plant-based protein from broadline foodservice distributors to foodservice operators increased by 20% in the year ending November 2018 compared to year ago with all Census regions showing double-digit growth, reports The NPD Group. The West Census Region represents the most plant-based protein volume and case shipment growth followed closely by the South Census region, according to NPD's SupplyTrack."
"About a quarter of the U.S. population, many of whom aren't vegan or vegetarian, say that they eat and drink plant-based beverages and foods as well as animal protein on a regular basis. Among the reasons why plant-based proteins have mainstreamed is that consumers, in addition to adding protein to their diets, perceive them as being a 'better-for-you' option. There are also plant-based fans who have concerns around animal welfare and they want to know how products are brought to market. These consumers have the belief that plant-based protein provides 'clean meat' and eliminates many of these barriers."
"Burgers represent the largest plant-based foodservice category and have year-over-year double-digit growth in pounds shipped to foodservice operators, and it's plant-based burgers that are showing up the most on many restaurant menus. Although plant-based burgers are popular across demographics, an analysis done with NPD's receipt mining service, Checkout, shows that smaller, more affluent ($100,000 and up) households are the top buyers of plant-based burgers."
Before Vegetarian Restaurant Diners head out to a restaurant to eat or a grocery store to buy food, they'll probably do their research to see which local restaurants and retailers have the best selection of plant-based protein. According to AudienceSCAN, within the last month, 53.1% of these consumers used a search engine to research a product they were considering for purchase. They were probably using Google, the preferred search engine of 90.7% of these consumers. However, only 20.5% will go past the first page of results."'Plant-based proteins are no longer just a meat replacement, it's now its own category,' says David Portalatin, NPD food industry advisor and author of Eating Patterns in America. 'It's possible that protein overall is evolving into a category, whether animal meat, beans, nuts, soy, wild game or other proteins, in forms ranging from beverage to center-of-plate.'"
Restaurants and grocery stores can promote their plant-based meat substitutes to Vegetarian Restaurant Diners digitally. Last year, according to AudienceSCAN, these consumers took action after receiving email ads (64.2%) and after either seeing an ad on their smartphone apps or after receiving an ad via text message (61.6%). They're also 63% more likely than other adults to click on text link ads on websites and 79% more likely to find ads on social networks useful. In the last year, 53.8% took action after seeing an out-of-home ad and 54.2% reacted to a cinema ad they'd seen.

BkiUdDc5qdmC6Srl9EZJ | Listed in the POD from 1834, as a stone carver, John Park's workshop was situated in Wellington Street.
He signed a number of early monuments in Glasgow's most famous cemetery, the Necropolis, and others in burial grounds around the city, such as Sighthill Cemetery and the Southern Necropolis.
These were carved in sandstone and include the Necropolis monuments the Gould Family (1834); the merchant John Hervey (1834); William Munzie; George Lyon Walker; and James Mackenzie of Craigpark (1837).
His best known work in the Necropolis, however, are the Jacobean facades of the cemetery's Catacombs (1835) and the Jews' Enclosure (1836).
The Catacombs facade is his largest surviving structure in the city, and was built to a design by the prominent Glasgow architect, John Bryce.
Park's work on the building included the carving of the arms of the Merchants' House (a ship on a globe) above its arch, which is now badly worn, and several ornamental urns, which have since disappeared.
Bryce was also the architect of the Jews' Enclosure, which has a tall column surmounted with a crown and a gateway with a scrolled pediment, which originally had ornamental gates cast by Thomas Edington's Phoenix Foundry.
As well as building the facade, Park incised lengthy inscriptions in Hebrew and English into its stonework taken from the scriptures. The design for the facade is reputedly derived from the ancient Absolom's Column in King's Dale in Jerusalem, but is an entirely free interpretation of the original column itself.
Park lived at 60 Carrick Street, and was possibly related to the sculptor Patric Park, and the monumental sculptor Samuel Park.
(Patric Park is known to have come from a family of sculptors in Glasgow, and the Parks were the only ones trading in the city as 'masons and statuaries' in the early years of the 19th Century, when he was active). | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbkM4eIXgu113IgjD | Last time, I used to board the Seremban bus at Pasar Seni. This involved only LRT (Kelana Jaya Line).
Now, the whole bus operation has moved to Hang Tuah Station.
You have few options…you may take LRT (Kelana Jaya Line) to KL Central. Then, walk some distances to the KL Monorail.
From there, you take Monorail to Hang Tuah. If everything going on smoothly, it will take about 20-30minutes. Well, if you aren't that lucky, it may take up to 30-45minutes, or even longer time.
From my work place to KL Central, it costs RM1.60.
And from KL Central Monorail to Hang Tuah, it costs RM1.60.
Instead of just RM1.60 to Pasar Seni, now I have to incur another RM 1.60.
It will be really jammed around Hang Tuah area, passed by the Pudu Station.Therefore, Both, time and money, are wasted.
Another alternative, from my work place to Masjid Jamek RM1.60.
And from Masjid Jamek to Hang Tuah RM1.20.
It may seem a little bit cheaper. BUT, the queue is really terrible.
And, there are limited counters with unlimited passangers.
Either you have Touch n'Go or you just have to queue.
From Hang Tuah (Ampang Line), you need to walk further down (not too far), and cross the busy road with the over-head bridge.
It will be super inconvenient when you are carrying luggage/bags.
So, I would prefer the Monorail way.
Anyhow, either route has already caused too much trouble to reach the bus station. Meanwhile, during someday, someone asked me, why don't you take the KTM back to Seremban?
Haha~you must be kidding me.
This someone should go and try the KTM during the after-work hours.
It will be an unforgetable "GOOD" experience – to experience the sardine-in-a-can type of feel.
It's HOT, uncomfortable and stuffy.
You can hardly breath and it's better than sauna which you can sweat like hell. Even better, when you're carrying luggages, it'll be a challenge.
You need to possess some skills to balance yourself in a shaky moving train, with LIMITED places and no where to hold-on. The brilliant internal design of the train makes me wonder do those designers ever take train at all?
Don't get me to start with the punctuality for the KTM.
Forget about the time shows at the platform, it's merely some sort of digital decorative device.
The train will never appear on time, seriously, NEVER.
If you are in a rush, with no other means of transport, just pray hard that it will not delay too long.
To be safe, be there as early as possible. Don't take things for granted.
From KL Central to Seremban, it will cost RM6.00, around 1.5 hours.
Things are getting complicated nowadays.
Lost of time and money.
One thing for sure, the public transport has much room to improve.
However, I doubt when will the room be filled up with improvements. 10 years? 20 years?
No other way but to continue to use public transport (unless car-pool with friends sometimes).
Why? I cannot afford to own a car (and with my lousy driving skill, for the sake of other road users, not to drive).
So, even though the public transport is lousy, sadly but true, I'm still depend much on it.
This is my life, with the public transports.
Sad sad also need to live with it.

BkiUd23xK6mkyCKC1erP | Five decades ago, a young scholar named Robert Darnton followed up on a footnote that took him to the archives of the "Typographical Society of Neuchatel"(S.T.N.) in Switzerland, not far from the French border. Many years, and thousands of documents later, Professor Robert Darnton has published a new book, A Literary Tour de France: The World of Books on the Eve of the French Revolution (Oxford University Press, 2018). Apart from illuminating the everyday life of the trade that enabled and shaped French reading practices, the book is a methodological feat that mines an impressive array of sources to access the financial, legal, political, and cultural history of book distribution before the French Revolution.
Following the trail of Jean-Francois Favager, a sales rep of the S.T.N. who toured France in 1778, Darnton's thirteen chapters trace his journey from Neuchatel, across the border into France, down the southeast to Lyon and Marseille, west towards Bordeaux, then north before crossing back to Besancon and home (with many stops in between). As the book pursues Favager's story, the reader learns about the challenges of travel by horse in this period, including border-crossings, the network of roads that connected French towns and cities in the eighteenth century, and the many obstacles that arose along the way. A history of the movement of foreign books into a French market, A Literary Tour de France also explores the histories of smuggling, piracy, contract and business law and values. Focused on the world of books in the French provinces, rather than Paris, this study offers today's reader insight into the demands and supplies of their eighteenth-century counterparts and the range of booksellers who sold their wares. The result is a rich and textured account of how and what many French people were able to read in the decades before the upheaval of 1789.
I encourage all of you to visit the books companion website, including a treasure of primary sources that will enhance and extend the reading of A Literary Tour de France.

BkiUdzTxK7ICUuXelF8J | The son of the boxer who killed Adonis Creed's father challenges him for his heavyweight belt.
For over 40 years now, in his various guises as actor, writer, producer and occasionally director, Sylvester Stallone has shepherded the Rocky franchise through multiple cultural eras, and the films in the series reflect the climate of Hollywood at the time of their production. 1976's Rocky was a quintessential 'New Hollywood' film, a low key drama focussed on its characters. '79's Rocky II was slightly less grounded, yet still relatively subdued compared to the '80s entries, Rocky III and Rocky IV, which reflected the empty excess of that decade. In the '90s, the franchise returned somewhat to its roots with the under-rated Rocky V, before making a surprise return in 2006 with Rocky Balboa, which overcame its ludicrous premise of a sexagenarian Italian Stallion returning to the ring and proved a compelling late expansion of the series.
Rocky Balboa seemed to mark the end of the enduring franchise, but in 2015, with Hollywood reviving every property it could get its mitts on, the series was rebooted with Creed, which saw the gloves passed to Michael B. Jordan's Adonis Creed, son of Carl Weathers' Apollo Creed, with Rocky himself moving into the role previously occupied by Burgess Meredith's Mickey, a grizzled trainer dispensing working class wisdom to the young pretender. The movie charmed audiences and critics alike, and the Rocky franchise was back on its feet.
A followup movie was inevitable, but when it was announced that Creed II would see the return of Dolph Lundgren's Ivan Drago - the sociopathic Russian boxer who killed Apollo Creed in Rocky IV before being defeated on his home turf by Rocky - a collective groan issued from fans of the franchise. While some may view Rocky IV through a forgiving nostalgic lens, it's by far the stinker of the series, a movie that's almost 90% montage, like watching '80s MTV for two hours, and it's a cheesy, cringeworthy relic of its time. Would Creed II ruin all the good work of its predecessor with a brain dead followup?
I'm delighted to say my fears were unfounded, as Creed II is a worthy continuation of what might be Hollywood's greatest franchise.
This eighth film finds all well in Philadelphia. Adonis has just become the heavyweight champion of the world. His girlfriend, Bianca (Tessa Thompson), has accepted his marriage proposal and her music career is taking off. And Rocky seems to have found an inner peace, though he still can't persuade the council to put a new bulb in the streetlight outside his house.
Meanwhile in the Ukraine, Ivan Drago has spent the last few decades exiled from his native Russia, cast out after his loss to Rocky. Desperate for acceptance from Mother Russia, Ivan sees a new hope in his son, Viktor (Romanian boxer Florian Munteanu), who has been destroying opponents on the local boxing scene. When an American promoter takes the Dragos under his wing, the stage is set for a dramatic face-off between Adonis and the son of the man who killed his father.
Creed II's greatest victory is in taking Ivan Drago, a cartoon character from one of cinema's most brainless blockbusters, and transforming him into a sympathetic and human figure without sacrificing any of the character's menace. Credit must go to Lundgren for a performance that subtly sees his ice cold facade gradually melt over the course of the drama, but also to director Steven Caple Jr, who knows just how to use the muscular star's limited talents to best effect. He makes equally great use of Stallone, playing on our familiarity with the actor's signature role and exploiting the star's ability to convey more emotion with a drop of his shoulders, a twitch of an eye or a twist of the hat he awkwardly carries in his hands than most actors might with six page monologues. In his acting debut, Munteanu also does some quietly impressive work, and the look on his face during a moment involving a vacated seat draws so much sympathy for his character that you may find your allegiances torn in the climactic bout.
If there's a weak link among the characters here it's ironically Creed himself. Jordan is just as likeable as in the first movie, but this sequel tends to play out around his circumference, with the subplots involving the Dragos, Bianca and Rocky more compelling than the central narrative of Creed once again battling to preserve his father's legacy. Switching focus to the travails of the Drago clan might be the best direction for the series to go in the next instalment (Brigitte Nielsen returns here as Ivan's ex-wife and Viktor's estranged mother, setting up another potentially fascinating future story of parental acceptance).
Creed II is essentially a father/son story, and as such it's packed with tearjerking moments that will have grown men reaching for their hankies. The final fight has so much riding on it emotionally, both in and out of the ring, that it really puts you through the ringer, yet somewhat subversively, the film doesn't simply set up an easy hero/villain dynamic, as both Adonis and Viktor are fighting for the same reason, the pride of the names they inherited from their fathers.
Creed II is in UK/ROI cinemas November 30th. | c4 | 5 | 3 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUdSDxK6wB9jjDgI2S | The what, why and how of website SSL certificates.
There's a growing trend among websites. It's not flashy graphics or live chat agents. It's not promotional videos or a new social media platform. It's just a tiny, green padlock in the address bar of your web browser — and it's becoming one of the most integral parts of any website, no matter the size.
This small green padlock indicates that a website has an SSL certificate. But what is an SSL certificate, and does your site really need one?
SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. SSL encrypts sensitive data between a browser and a server so that malicious parties — i.e., hackers — can't steal it. In simpler terms, it keeps your website safe and protects your site visitors' personal information such as credit card numbers, email addresses, usernames, and passwords.
An SSL certificate shows your website is protected and transmits information securely.
While the technical details go beyond what we've explained here, the bottom line is that SSL keeps data secure, and an SSL certificate indicates that your website has been verified as secure for your visitors.
A green padlock next to the URL.
An added "s" in the URL, displayed as HTTPS rather than HTTP.
For many years, few websites had them. Over time, online retailers began to recognize the need to secure customers' personal and financial data. Today, with automated hacking and the increased exchange of sensitive information online, it's crucial for any online business — retailer or not — to have a secured site.
SSL certificates pose an added cost for website owners. Depending on how many sites you own and the nature of your website, the price tag can range widely from free (included with your web hosting) to upwards of $350 a year for multiple sites and subdomains. All websites hosted by Integritive are protected with an SSL certificate.
Search result rankings (SEO). This one is a big deal for businesses and should be your #1 motivation to implement an SSL certificate. Google places such high value on website security that it has been giving preferential ranking to websites with an SSL certificate since as early as 2014. With the ever-changing nature of SEO and results rankings (not to mention the impending need to optimize for voice search), it's critical that your site is poised for search-ranking success. An SSL certificate is a must-have.
Customer confidence. Browsers have started identifying unsecured sites with a red, unlocked padlock. If Google thinks your site should be secure and it isn't, the visitor will be met with a red screen alerting them that your site may not be safe and encourages them to "Go back to safety" by clicking away from your site. This is alarming to potential customers; who wants to visit an unsafe website?
Protection against hacking. Only big websites get hacked, right? This is a common misconception. Yes, there are hackers who purposely target large websites. However, many hacking instances are executed by bots, not humans, meaning any size website can be compromised.
Data security. Does your website have a newsletter sign-up form? Do you require users to register with an email address and password? Do you sell merchandise, take payments via credit card or offer online scheduling? Then you need an SSL certificate.
The best way to ensure you have a secured site is to purchase an SSL certificate from your web host. When you purchase a hosting package, be sure to research the availability and price of a certificate. You'll need to renew it yearly.
With Integritive's web hosting, we not only secure your site with an SSL certificate, but we also provide daily on-site backups, monthly backups to a remote server and 24/7 site uptime and customer support. We can host any website, whether we designed and built it or not.
If you still have questions about SSL certificates or are ready to get that little green padlock on your website, contact us. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdDY5ixsDMS2a5p3s | Fixing the Leaks: Retaining Female Talent in the Water Sector
Rating: 4.8 (9)
Despite the efforts to promote and encourage women's participation in the water sector, water institutions face challenges with retention of their female workforce. Women in STEM fields tend to leave jobs at higher rates than those occupying other positions, and a study from water sector showed that in the case of water utilities, female engineers were almost twice as likely to exit their jobs, compared to their male counterparts. This hurts not only female employees but also companies as high staff turnover is costly and inefficient. Under COVID, these dynamics have become even more pronounced as women drop out of the labor force to take care of children and family, or are more likely to be let go under economic contraction.
This means that diversity and inclusion efforts should focus not only on hiring and attracting female workforce, but also on providing an adequate work environment. Childcare support, flexible work arrangements, family-friendly HR policies and women-friendly facilities can all help address the barriers faced by employees and improve female retention.
This third webinar of the "Getting to Equal Aqua" webinar series, organized by the Equal Aqua Platform, has showcased findings from the recently published global database on gender diversity in water and sanitation utilities and has demonstrated what data from 96 utilities shows us about this "leakage" of female talent. The discussion has delved deeper into some concrete strategies used to retain female talent drawing from the experience of Lilongwe Water Board in Malawi. This session had participants from US, UK, India, France, Nigeria, Ghana, Canada, Indonesia, Germany, Romania, Serbia, Austria, Trinidad and Tobago, and Pakistan, among others.

BkiUfow5qhDCykklLoZ0 | Colette Sulcer was swept away by strong flood water currents while trying to save her daughter.
#HurricaneHarvey takes another one ….
A Texas mother drowned while trying to save her 3-year-old daughter from rising flood waters in Beaumont, Texas, People reports.
Colette Sulcer, 41, was swept away by strong currents while trying to carry her daughter Jordyn to safety. According to reports, Sulcer was driving when she suddenly became surrounded by flood waters. She pulled into a parking lot alongside Interstate 10 and her car became trapped. Sulcer escaped the car with her daughter, but strong currents pushed the family further into danger.
Spokesperson for the Beaumont Police Department, Officer Carol Riley, said rescuers spotted the toddler in the canal clinging to her mother.
"[Sulcer] absolutely saved the child's life," Riley stated.
"They were in the water for quite some time. The mother did the best she could to keep her child up over the water. The baby also had a backpack that was helping her float on her back and she was holding on to her mom," she continued.
The child is currently in stable condition and will be released into the care of her family.
In the wake of the tragedy, $60,00 has been raised on GoFundMe to support the 3-year-old survivor. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

Land management ministry's secretary of state Theng Chansangvar speaks at a press conference on the ministry's five-year achievements, held at the Council of Ministers on August 24. LAND MANAGEMENT MINISTRY
Voun Dara
As of June 30 this year, 6,584,578 out of roughly seven million plots of land have been registered, with their titles handed over to the rightful owners, according to a senior official.
Theng Chansangvar, secretary of state at the Ministry of Land Management, Urban Planning and Construction, revealed the figures during a press conference on the ministry's five-year achievements, organised by the Government Spokesperson Unit at the Council of Ministers on August 24.
"Since the first implementation of land registration in the early 2000s, the ministry has registered and issued land titles for 6,584,578 plots of land, or 94.06 per cent of the total," he said.
Nearly six million plots of land were registered through the systematic registering mechanism, while more than 624,000 others were registered separately. There have also been a total of 2,121 state land plots, or 921,903ha, registered in the same period.
During the period from 2018 through the first half of this year, a total of 1.69 million land plots, or 24.16 per cent of the roughly seven million, were registered, mostly through the systematic registering mechanism, with only 11,731 plots registered separately.
Over the past five years, Chansangvar said his ministry has significantly contributed to the government's rectangular strategy, especially through land management and construction as well as on social land concessions for the people.
A total of 948 land titles for 3,652 people from 37 ethnic communities covering over 38,718ha have also been registered to date.
Regarding land disputes, Chansangvar said that in the past five years, a total of 5,853 such cases were presented to the ministry for resolution, 3,620 of which were resolved with the rest pending due process or negotiations.
He noted that since 2000, there have been a total of 14,308 land dispute complaints received with 10,919 of those cases solved.
Am Sam Ath, deputy director of rights group LICADHO, said most of the conflict in Cambodia over land is caused by ELCs that displace the communities already present on them.
He said if the ministry can register land titles for the remaining plots of land in a timely manner, it would reduce land disputes, especially in communities whose members are protesting and seeking government intervention and help.
According to Chansangvar, a total of 2,524 households affected by economic land concessions (ELCs) to sugar cane companies in Koh Kong, Oddar Meanchey, Preah Vihear and Kampong Speu provinces have been relocated and compensated through social land concessions and cash payments, with a total of over 5,661ha and more than $2.16 million provided to them.
The ministry is currently working on negotiations in the long-standing dispute arising from the investment project of Union Development Group involving 1,333 families in Koh Kong province's Botum Sakor district. So far, a total of 1,231 families, or 92 per cent, have accepted compensation totalling over 1,758ha of land and over $1.43 million in cash.

BkiUd2s5qhLACAkxBTsr | In 1997, IBM's Deep Blue computer defeated chess champion Garry Kasperov. The event inspired computer scientist Omar Syed to invent a new game that was simple to learn but so strategically complex that no computer could master it. In 2002, he published the rules to Arimaa and offered a $10,000 prize to anyone who could develop a computer program that could defeat the best human players [source: Arimaa]. Arimaa has attracted many fans since, although no one had won the prize as of early 2010.

A player can push or pull opponents' pieces with a stronger piece of his own.
On average, there are 17,000 possible moves on each turn of Arimaa [source: Arimaa]. Unlike in chess, the game has no set opening. Players find it more of a strategic challenge than chess, which often revolves around tactical battles. Pattern recognition and global thinking are important. Arimaa sets are available for about $40, and the game can be played online as well.
A computer can beat the best human in chess, but Bulgarian grandmaster Kiril Georgiev pulled off an impressive feat in February 2009 when he played a total of 360 games simultaneously in one large room. The marathon lasted more than 14 hours -- Georgiev lost only six of the games [source: World Records Academy]. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |

By Teen Vogue
Meghan McCain—the 23-year-old daughter of Republican nominee John —has been a bit more politically involved than past presumptive first daughters, especially when it comes to the printed word: the recent Columbia grad has taken to blogging on the campaign trail and, as of Tuesday, has penned a children's book about her father's life called My Dad, John McCain.
The move from political blogging to children's book writing was a big jump, and not surprisingly it came with some reservations. Meghan said, "When Simon and Schuster approached me to write a children's book about my dad's life, I initially thought I wouldn't be very good at it. However, after giving it some additional thought and thinking about how powerful my dad's story is, I realized that this could be a great opportunity to communicate that story of patriotism and bravery to younger Americans in a way that would be accessible."
And it certainly is accessible —Meghan manages to translate some of the more tumultuous parts of McCain's life into child-friendly prose. For example, she makes light of the fact that the Arizona Senator spent years being tortured as a prisoner of war in Vietnam: "My dad and the other prisoners were treated badly. He didn't get the right kind of medical care for his broken bones, and the food was really bad —once he found a chicken foot in his lunch."
Though she says she currently has no aspirations to enter the political arena, plans for another book may be on the horizon. Meghan's considered expanding her blog: "I have thought about writing an account of what my life has been like on the trail. There are many stories that simply didn't fit into the medium of the blog I write, and there's certainly enough material there to be able to sit down and try to work it into a novel."
Check out the almost daily updated McCain Blogette for a look at what's going on behind the scenes in the Republican party. Her insider info-packed posts are often accompanied by a song of the day —she uploaded Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle" to set the tone for her write-up on the RNC, and hits ranging from indie up-and-comers Augustana to soulful crooner Johnny Cash to glam rockers T. Rex have also graced the website. There's even a McCain Blogette store now open, which is full of apparel and other memorabilia stamped with the slogan "Lovin McCain." And, is it just me, or does the layout of the slogan on the t-shirts, hats and travel mugs almost look like they are promoting a McLovin/McCain ticket? Could this be a veiled shout out to the Superbad star?

BkiUd945qoYAy-NzTwP2 | Last Wednesday Tim and I took a day trip from Victoria BC, past Sooke, almost all the way to Port Renfrew to Mystic Beach. We chose Mystic Beach as part of the Juan de Fuca trail because it has a fabulous suspension bridge, covered forest trails and a beautiful beach with waterfalls at the end.
Mystic beach is about an hour and a half drive from Victoria B.C. We stopped at Shirley Delicious in Shirley for a little treat.
The windy roads and hills make for kind of a pukey ride for a passenger.
The trail to Mystic Beach starts at China Beach. The entrance is gorgeous with beautiful forest with a windy road. Our timing was impeccable because they are closing the trails for some maintenance over the next few weeks.
The suspension bridge goes over Peter Wolfe Creek. It is so high, you can bounce on it and look down over the creek below.
The waterfall on the beach was stunning. What an incredible beach.
If you watched all the way to the end say, "I am mystified by mystic beach." in the comments. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 5 | 1 |

A chance to equality in health: Is people's health determined by ancestral environmental exposures?
Patrick Allard,
Amander Clark
Toxic substances can alter your epigenome— and might alter your grandchildren's as well
When a baby is born the world is, metaphorically at least, created anew. The French enlightenment philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau famously argued — in contrast to the Catholic doctrine of original sin — that a new child represents a tabula rasa, a blank slate free from the curses of prior generations. Twentieth century genetics offered another version of this blank slate narrative: we inherit our genes from our parents, but in a new combination largely untainted by our parents' (and their parents') life experiences. Life experience and environmental exposure sometimes alter which of our genes are switched on or off, but when reproductive cells are formed, this accrued information — the epigenome — is cleared in two resetting events (the first when the egg and sperm are produced, and again shortly after conception) that were until recently thought to wipe the epigenetic record clean.
Recent studies have shown, however, that the presumed blank slate may not be so blank after all. Sometimes epigenetic information survives the resetting events, suggesting that environmental exposure can change our offspring (and our offspring's offspring), without directly alter the genes themselves.
PRIMORDIAL GERM CELLS
Biologist Patrick Allard at UCLA has been investigating the connections between genetics, development, environment, and health. Some of the recent work from his lab has shown that environmental exposure to the common plastic ingredient Bisphenol A (BPA) can induce heritable changes in gene expression in C. elegans, a tiny worm used as a model organism in genetics research.
Allard wondered if the same effect might be found in humans, but realized research on this question exceeded the expertise and resources of his own lab. The needed help, however, was just across campus. Allard's UCLA colleague Amander Clark had built a leading laboratory specializing in the reprogramming of human primordial germ cells, the parent cells of sperm and eggs. Since primordial germ cells undergo one of the major epigenetic resets, a careful study of those cells could show whether or not the effects of environmental exposures are passed on. Clark had also been working on cutting-edge techniques to take already-differentiated cells and effectively roll back the developmental clock to a stem cell state from which they can be coaxed into becoming primordial germ cells.
"These stem cell models enable us to study these reprogramming events," Clark says. "They also enable us to screen for environmental agents that impact the epigenome of these germ cells we make in the lab. These are not direct human studies; rather, they give us information on how humans might be affected. Then we can develop strategies to minimize harm in the population that potentially arise from these ancient exposures."
FROM THE LAB TO THE PUBLIC SQUARE
Even though Allard and Clark's work is basic scientific research, they are working with Hannah Landecker, director of the UCLA Institute for Society and Genetics, to think through the social implications of these epigenetic findings. Trained in anthropology, sociology and the history of science, Landecker has done influential work tracing the way that early stop-motion microscopic films showing cell division helped build public acceptance of the not-so-intuitive idea that our bodies are made up of billions of individual cells. She believes that epigenetics will require similar sorts of public education — and a set of new ways of understanding how the choices we make might affect our offspring. "Those scientific questions have a really profound impact on how we think about the environment, who regulates it, what's in it, and whose responsibility it is to know about what's in it," Landecker says. "These scientific issues will never be isolated from the social lives that we have. It's Important to think about the impact of the results, but it's also important to think about the narrative through which science is communicated."
AN EXPANDING VIEW
Together the UCLA team hopes their research on BPA's ability to induce heritable epigenetic change in germ cells will spur further research, both of other potential toxins and of other somatic cell types that may experience similar changes. "The big question that we really want to try to answer is, how much of our environmental past stays with us through the different generations," Allard says. "This means going back to the question of how much of a clean slate we get in each generation, and to what extent our environmental ancestry is potentially shaping our present and future health." | commoncrawl | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUdTrxaL3Sui42W0Bd | iSchool will host Web 2.0, computer-mediated communication, convergence scholar Susan Herring Nov. 2
Wednesday, October 28, 2009, By News Staff
Susan C. Herring will speak at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies (iSchool) on Monday, Nov. 2, at noon in the Katzer Room, Room 347 of Hinds Hall. Her lecture, "New Analytical Lenses for New Media: Web 2.0 and CMCMC," is part of the iSchool's ongoing Brown Bag Presentation Series.
Herring is a professor of information science at Indiana University-Bloomington. She studied linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, and was one of the first scholars to apply linguistic analysis to computer-mediated communication. Her early research focused on gender issues. Herring went on to create computer-mediated discourse analysis, which she has used to analyze politeness, interactional coherence and change over time in Internet communication. Her current research interests include multilingual and multimodal computer-mediated communication with an emphasis on convergent media.
Herring's guest lecture at the iSchool will critique Web 2.0 as an analytical lens through which to view, understand and advance predictions about the Web. Herring will compare Web 2.0 to convergent media computer-mediated communication (CMCMC). CMCMC includes numerous Web 2.0 phenomena, such as blogs, wikis, social network sites and media-sharing sites, but is not limited to Web-based platforms.
Herring's comparison reveals the advantages and biases of both Web 2.0 and CMCMC. Her comparison also presents an argument for a broader approach to understanding new media—an approach that includes technological convergence.
In addition to her role as professor of information science at Indiana University-Bloomington, Herring is an adjunct professor of linguistics. She is co-editor of "The Multilingual Internet: Language, Culture, and Communication Online," published in May 2007 by Oxford University Press. She is also the editor in chief of Language@Internet, an open-access, peer-reviewed, scholarly electronic journal that publishes original research on language and language use mediated by the Internet, the World Wide Web and mobile technologies.
