You see, neither of us are very big pork fans, so last summer we thought we'd cheat a little and use chicken instead. They turned out to be delicious, so we thought "who needs pork anyways, when you can just make these?" But after that meal the idea of making real pulled pork started marinating (pun intended) in our minds. Fast-forward several months to our family raving about this Memphis Barbecue place and the whole idea was brought back to us again. The only problem was that since our family doesn't really eat a whole lot of pork, we never really it in our freezer. But when we arrived home from school for the summer and found a giant pork rib roast sitting in the bottom of our big freezer, it was like a sign from the universe!
And you know what? We're pretty certain that if pork always tasted like this, we would have no problem eating it on a regular basis, because it was a-maz-ing!
So there you have it, folks! A pulled-pork feast for a crowd! Great for a Sunday dinner, but if you make the coleslaw and corn bread in advance, you could even have this on the table in 20 minutes for an easy weeknight meal, too!
Trim most of the excess fat off the roast (if you can't get it all off don't worry, a little is ok). Place the pork into the bottom of the slow cooker and sprinkle the onion over top.
In a separate dish, combine all of the sauce ingredients and pour over top of the pork and onions.
Cook on high for 6-8 hours, until the pork tears easily with a fork.
When the pork is done, remove it from the slow-cooker and shred with two forks. Return the meat to the pot and stir so that the sauce is evenly coating all of the pork. Turn the pot to low or the "keep-warm" setting if you have one, and allow to sit with the lid on until you are ready to serve.
Do you like pork? Have you ever had pulled pork before or tried to make it yourself?

Robin George – A Tender Heart for Israel
Mrs. Robin George
Robin George is a refined, genteel woman from Arkansas, who knew little about lsrael. She always loved history and "as an adult I wanted to figure out what was going on over there. It was so hard balancing what I read in the news with what I read in the Bible.? While searching for the truth, Robin discovered a love for the people of Israel. "I see prophecy being fulfilled and my heart is tender for the people who came back to their land.? When this soft-spoken Southerner starts talking about Israel, there is fire in her speech and passion in her voice.
Back in 2009, Robin's good friend, Jan Shaddox, introduced her to Sondra Baras. After hearing Sondra speak at an event in Minneapolis, Robin realized that CFOIC Heartland was exactly the kind of organization she wanted to support. She consulted with Kim Troup, Director of CFOIC's American office, and together they decided on just the right project: a traditional Shabbat dinner for Christians. Robin enlisted Dr. Steve and Jan Shaddox and David and Cathy Evans and together they launched the project.Robin had a dream… a picture in her head, and by paying attention to every detail, she made this event glorious. She needed a space that would accommodate a crowd. "I trusted in the Lord that people would want to come. Christians are becoming more and more interested in Israel, in figuring out the truth, in putting pieces together.?
Naturally, the color scheme was Israeli, with blue and white tablecloths. Robin thought of the perfect centerpiece, though it wasn't easy finding a source for flowering olive branches in the middle of May in Arkansas! The florist promised her that if necessary, she would personally glue on the olives! "It was very important to me for my guests to see the people of the Biblical Heartland, to feel daily life in the communities.? So Kim Troup sent her pictures and Robin laminated and hung photos from the branches, of the people of Judea and Samaria. Robin insisted on round tables and family style service instead of a buffet. "Passing dishes from hand to hand is more in keeping with the feeling of a Shabbat meal in a home.?
The menu for the evening started with the traditional braided Challah loaves. "The bread wasn't kosher, but it was Challah!? For dessert, Robin commissioned individual cakes for each table, frosted white, topped with blue-icing Stars of David. One hundred eighty people showed up to the Fellowship Bible Church on May 18th, 2011. Kim Troup introduced CFOIC Heartland and then Sondra Baras and Rabbi Naphtali Weisz from Columbus, Ohio presided. They walked everyone through the Shabbat meal, explaining the rituals, the blessings, the songs. Sondra then gave an in-depth analysis of current events in the Middle East and opened the floor to questions.
All proceeds of the evening went to benefit Jewish communities of CFOIC Heartland. Robin modestly explains: "Sometimes it's hard to think that one homemaker can do much. But G-d does things to people's hearts. If I was a Jew in Israel it would comfort me to know that I was loved and that people were praying for me. I never want the people of Israel to feel alone."
Robin enjoys going to CUFI, where she listens to speakers on Middle East issues. While there, she takes the opportunity to visit with her congressmen, who are pro Israel. "Let them see our faces; let them know we appreciate what they are doing. It's a pity, because sometimes negative is louder than positive and I long for a turnaround." Robin and her husband Gary have four grown children and six grandchildren, all of whom live nearby. "I am blessed," says Robin. Robin, we too are blesse

CORRECTION: Groundwater contaminants were found in Annapolis at 1000x safe limits in what is now a residential development on top of a former Naval Weapons Facility.
A March 2018 report by the United States Department of Defense shows test results of military sites in Anne Arundel County and other national and international locations to have man-made chemical contaminants in drinking water supplies that are believed to cause cancer, birth defects and other diseases.
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the two contaminants, perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), are products of industrial processes and are known to bioaccumulate in humans and wildlife. They are extremely persistent in the environment and cannot be mitigated by standard city and county water treatment methods.
In the DoD study, which was presented as a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee in March, four wells were tested in areas surrounding Fort Meade in 2017. While the EPA Lifetime Health Advisory (LHA) level for PFOS/PFOA is 70 parts per trillion (ppt) in water, the wells tested have between 300 and 87,000 parts per trillion PFOS/PFOA. The locations of the wells tested were not listed in the report.
At a former United States weapons facility in Annapolis, drinking water supplies were also tested. In 54 out of 68 wells tested, concentrations of PFOS/PFOA were between 70 ppt (the upper limit of LHA) and 70,000 ppt, which is 1000 times the EPA lifetime limit levels.
Both the City of Annapolis and the Naval Academy pump drinking water from the Patapsco Aquifer.
Although Anne Arundel County and the City of Annapolis list man-made organic chemical contaminants including "synthetic and volatile organic chemicals which are byproducts of industrial processes and petroleum production and can also come from gas stations, urban stormwater runoff, and septic systems," as an issue in groundwater, the City does not test for these contaminants.
Barry Zvimbleman, an environmental remediation specialist for over 30 years with a company in Naples Florida called Onion Equipment, works on installing treatment systems for water on military installations that have been found to that contain PFOS/POFA. Zvimbleman was not aware of the DoD report and has not worked on sites in Maryland. Zvimbleman said that the concentration of PFOS/PFOA in the Naval Academy, Fort Meade and Chesapeake Beach groundwater samples are extremely high and very concerning.
The problem, Zvimbleman said, is not only for those who are drinking from well-water; standard water treatment facilities do not remove PFOS/PFOA.
The County lists only three man-made contaminants in its water quality report for 2016: Ethylbenzene, Tetrachloroethylene, and Diphthalate. However, only 2 of 24 sites were tested. Anne Arundel County Program Manager for Water Operations Eddie Cope said that the county does not currently test for PFOS and PFOA and he was unaware of the DoD report.
The Naval Academy, which treats its own water independent of the City water treatment system, also did not address any volatile organic man-made chemicals in its testing. The Naval Academy 2016 water quality report can be found here.
Two other military facilities in Maryland tested above the EPA's LHA limit. In Chesapeake Beach in Calvert County, 9 of 18 wells tested between 190 ppt and 241,110 ppt, far exceeding safe limits. In Silver Spring, 8 of 16 wells at the Former Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division Detachment in White Oak tested above LHA limits.
PFOS/PFOA were developed in the 1970s and used in many industrial and consumer products to make the products resist heat, stains, water, and grease. Examples include Teflon cookware, waterproofing fabric, carpeting and coating on fast food wrappers. On military bases, the most common use is in firefighting foams at airfields and in other industrial processes. Zvimbleman said that the chemicals are sprayed to put out fires and then washed off with water into the environment, sometimes stored in leaky containers, or even dumped into the environment.
According to the DoD report, limited human studies show PFOS and PFOA may be associated with developmental delays in fetuses and children, decreased fertility, increased cholesterol, changes to the immune system, increased uric acid levels, changes in liver enzymes, as well as prostate, kidney, and testicular cancers.
The EPA reports that the compounds are readily absorbed after oral exposure and accumulate primarily in the blood serum, kidney, and liver. Toxicological studies on animals indicate potential developmental, reproductive and systemic effects. Potential exposure pathways include ingestion of food and water, use of consumer products, or inhalation of PFOS/PFOA-containing particulate matter (e.g., soils and dust).
In 2015 studies, the EPA and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry found PFOS and PFOA in the blood samples of the general human population and wildlife, indicating that exposure to the chemicals is widespread. Reported data indicate that blood serum concentrations of PFOS and PFOA are higher in workers and individuals living near facilities that use or produce PFOS/PFOA than for the general population.
The chemical company 3M was the primary manufacturer of PFOS. 3M began a voluntary phase-out of production in 2000 following the release of studies that showed a significant accumulation in the environment. By 2006, eight other companies followed suit and agreed to end production and use of PFOS and PFOA, but the chemicals were still in use as of 2015.
According to the EPA, there is no way to treat groundwater contaminated with PFOS and PFOA in situ. After removal, the contaminated water is resistant to most chemical and microbial conventional treatment technologies.
The most common water treatment method for PFOS/PFOA is extraction and filtration through granular activated carbon filters and ion exchange resins, according to Zvimbleman, who says a typical home costs $3000 for a filtration system.
The City of Annapolis water treatment process does not use either of these methods because of cost, and PFOS/PFOA are not regulated by the EPA, so costly carbon filter or ion exchange technology was not implemented when the water treatment facility was upgraded last year, according to Jarrell. The county also does not use carbon filter or ion exchange technologies in water treatment.
The DoD report said that the EPA has so far failed to address a Maximum Contaminant Level for PFOS/PFOA (MCL) which is the highest level of a contaminant allowed in drinking water. The Lifetime Health Advisories for PFOS and PFOA concentrations at 70 ppt are non-enforceable and non-regulatory. They serve only to provide technical information to state agencies and other public health officials.
Water systems should quickly undertake additional sampling to assess the level, scope and localized source of contamination to inform next steps.
If water sampling results confirm that drinking water contains PFOA and PFOS at individual or combined concentrations greater than 70 parts per trillion, then water systems should promptly notify their State drinking water safety agency (or with EPA in jurisdictions for which EPA is the primary drinking water safety agency) and consult with the relevant agency on the best approach to conduct additional sampling.
Drinking water systems and public health officials should also promptly provide consumers with information about the levels of PFOA and PFOS in their drinking water. This notice should include specific information on the risks to fetuses during pregnancy, and to breastfed and formula-fed infants from exposure to drinking water with an individual or combined concentration of PFOA and PFOS above EPA's health advisory level of 70 parts per trillion.
In addition, the notification should include actions being taken and identify options that consumers may consider to reduce risk, such as seeking an alternative drinking water source, or in the case of parents of formula-fed infants, using formula that does not require adding water.
The DoD study tested 2,668 groundwater wells on military installations and found 1,621 to be above safe levels of PFOA and PFOS. The DoD also tested 2,445 public and private drinking water systems adjacent to military bases with 564 drinking water systems testing above the EPA LHA maximum.

This article is a correction from the previous article which cited the U.S. Naval Academy as the location of the Annapolis contaminated wells tested by the DoD. According to Ed Zeigler, spokesperson for the U.S. Navy, the location is in Annapolis near the Woods Landing development in the St. Margarets area which was a former Naval Weapons Facility. Drinking water was not tested at the U.S. Naval Academy for PFOS/PFOA as part of the DoD report. The Academy is approximately 7 miles from Woods Landing, by the Department of Defense.
The Arundel Patriot is continuing to follow this story and will update with developments on precise well locations and further testing.

Q: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined on useState value I'm new to react, I'm getting this error constantly and after google some I can't find the reason why the useState value can't be read as array :( ... this the error I'm getting: 'TypeError: team.map is not a function'
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
const SportTeams = () => {
const [team, setTeam] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
const getSports = async () => {
const response = await fetch("https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/all_sports.php");
const data = await response.json();
setTeam(data);
console.log(data);
}
getSports();
}, []);
return (
<div className="myClass">
<ul>
{team.map((sport, index) => {
return <li key={`${sport.strSport}-${index}`}>{sport.strSport}</li>
})}
</ul>
</div>
);
};
export default SportTeams;
A: Just update setTeam like following, your error will be resolved.
setTeam(data.sports);
A: It is because you are setting the team state with the data without checking if its undefined. If the data is undefined your state team become undefined as well. So make sure to check the data.
import React, { useEffect, useState } from "react";
const SportTeams = () => {
const [team, setTeam] = useState([]);
useEffect(() => {
const getSports = async () => {
const response = await fetch("https://www.thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/1/all_sports.php");
if (response) {
const data = await response.json();
if (data) {
setTeam(data);
}
}
console.log(data);
}
getSports();
}, []);
return (
<div className="myClass">
<ul>
{team.map((sport, index) => {
return <li key={`${sport.strSport}-${index}`}>{sport.strSport}</li>
})}
</ul>
</div>
);
};
export default SportTeams;
There might also be the chance that your response is not what you expected and the actual data might be inside your response. In that case you need check what your response first then proceed to set the data.
A: As I said in my comment. the value you are setting to teams isn't an array.
const data = await response.json();
setTeam(data.sports);

A Mix of Sarah Bareilles Meets Adele: Interview with Up-and-Coming Singer Samantha Aurelio
February 6, 2013 Collaj
Filed under Profiles / Interviews
By Amanda Deltuvia —
Hailing from the East Coast, Grammy nominated singer Samantha Aurelio is petite but she can hit those notes with strength and prowess. With a Sarah Bareilles-infused piano style synced with a voice comparable to Adele's amazing pipes, it's clear that Aurelio is a tour de force.
Samantha Aurelio received a Grammy nomination for her work with the well-known jazz organist Joey DeFrancesco on his album "Never Can Say Goodbye" in 2011, and has been on the move ever since. The 5-foot-tall performer has been actively singing and performing for the last eight years. Recently, she released her first self-titled EP with producer Joe Buscema and is gaining fans from coast-to-coast. Here is Aurelio in her own words.
AD: You just released an EP. Which is your favorite track on it and why?
SA: My favorite track is "Fly Away," because I didn't trust that song when I first wrote it. So the creation of that song means a little more by seeing the transformation process. I'd like to call it "The Little Song that Could."
AD: What're your top three favorite songs of all time?
SA: I'd probably have to go with "Don't Stop Me Now," by Queen. That's a really hard question, I like the craziest music. Let's see, "Fire and Rain" by James Taylor. "Blackbird" by The Beatles. Those are definitely top three. Little eclectic, old school. Newer stuff would be "Let the Rain" by Sarah Bareilles.
AD: Are there any new artists that people may not know about that have tickled your fancy lately?
SA: I am on a huge Ellie Goulding kick lately. I'm going to see her when I go out to L.A. And Allen Stone.
AD: Speaking of L.A., when are you going?
SA: February 6th.
AD: Where will you be playing?
SA: I am playing Feb 11th, which is a Monday, at 8pm at Room 5 in West Hollywood. And I believe that there is a "Songwriter's Night" after my set. It's my set, then open mic after. If you go to my Facebook page, you can pull up the address.
AD: What are your favorite things about L.A. and Hollywood?
SA: Besides the weather? I love the life of it. The dream of it all. It's like the "Goldenland." It's a little more packaged than New York is. New York is the promised struggle, and L.A. is all wrapped in gold, always sunny, a little bit happier.
AD: What are some of your favorite spots in the L.A. area?
SA: I'm pretty fond of the Starbucks in LAX. I go there every time I fly (laughs). I have to stop at the beach every time I go out to the West Coast, either Santa Monica Pier or Manhattan Beach. Frida Mexican Cuisine I believe is the restaurant I went out to before the Grammys. I also love Malibu Seafood and Health Nut.
AD: What is an interesting fact about you that not many people would know?
SA: Hmm… I really love Olympic lifting and gymnastics. I've been doing Crossfit for about four years and before that I was a runner and did karate. Basically, my mom wanted me to be really tough for my size!
AD: Do you have a favorite quote?
SA: "I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for." I feel like John Mayer wrote that about me.
AD: Top three passions in life?
SA: Music, writing and cooking. I love cooking.
AD: You always have a slew of love songs and breakup songs, are these solely based off of your experiences or have you pulled interesting relationship stories from friends into your music?
SA: The stuff that I released is all personal. I have stuff that I have not released, that is in the making that is of other peoples' relationships.
AD: Do you find it easier to write about your own relationship experiences or other peoples'?
SA: Me. 100%.
Samantha Aurelio with her band crew
Well, it depends on where I start. Because sometimes I start at the piano and sometimes I start with the words. Lately, I'd say I end up in a coffee shop for a couple of hours and write a whole lot. Sometimes you'll catch me singing quietly into my phone recording melodies and then, coming back later to my piano and work from there. Usually it involves a lot of writing before I do any musical accompaniment. Lots of time in the coffee shop. (laughs) They know me there, it's cool.
AD: When you get stumped on music or lyrics, what do you do to get inspired?
SA: Spotify everything.
AD: Spotify?
SA: Because there's so much music there! Usually where I hear the melody in my head, is usually the genre of music I start to listen to. Because if I try to write an upbeat song, I'm not gonna listen to a ton of really slow stuff. (laughs). In a perfect world I'd like to go see a show whenever I'm stuck. That's really inspiring. Every time I leave a show, I'm like "I wanna write an album!"
AD: What's the next step? Are you going to record an album?
SA: We are writing the album. That's what's happening. My producer and I are going to co-write and produce a full-length masterpiece. It's very exciting. We're in the writing process now, so it's just a little baby. We have to nurture it and let it grow. Just like a seed.

Iam working on Report which will transfer the data to Application server .
My selection screen contains the Language option in which the user want to see the role descriptions.
when i try to download the data with Chinese language ,i could see '#' or junk values , as the Code Page conversion was not happening.
So i have changed my "open Dataset " to OPEN DATASET lv_path FOR OUTPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE 8404.
As Code page of Chinese is 8404.
Still i could not see the correct text of chinese even after this change.
Please guide me where iam wrong.
do you still get hashes (#) in this case (legacy mode) ?
I assume your system is based on Unicode - please confirm.
I will go through this Note and will get back to you .

Almost right on queue, as soon as a proposal for a new bike trail is on the table, disclaimers immediately follow. This particular network of trails was jointly announced with the disappointment that the trail couldn't be built to full width.
The greenway is proposed to be a 10- to 12-foot-wide, ADA-accessible trail, though this may not be feasible in some sections of the corridor due to environmental, right-of-way, and topographical constraints.
This needs to stop. I'm all for protecting sensitive lands and being as environmentally friendly as possible, and we all understand that building through such areas come at a cost. But we also build six lane super-highways above & through environmentally sensitive areas, so we should be able to build a simple 12 foot wide path that would ultimately be more useful than the six lane highway 25 years from now. I'm thinking about the ICC where the bike lane was promised for the full length of the toll road, but remains unbuilt on account that it would cause too much environmental damage. We need to look at the big picture and stop cutting these really small corners. If the ICC right-of-way, for example, was such an environmentally sensitive area, perhaps they should have only built four lanes and allowed for the bike lanes, saving more than 24 feet of roadway instead of just 12 feet of bike trail.
The above quote is from the "concept" plans for the Patapsco Regional Greenway. Concept, to me, means it should be time to dream and plan what the network should be like, without restrictions and short changing bicyclists. Bike and pedestrian networks should be planned and implemented with the same priorities as large roadway projects, including public input that would have a process of vetting the concept ideas and selecting the most sensible. All of this needs to be supported with investment to make the project a success. This is no time for dismissing and skimping on trail design. Make a concept that would serve the needs today and 25 years from now.

The Gutenberg Cave is regarded as one of the most beautiful dripstone caves in the Swabian Alb. Just like the Gußmann Cave nearby, this is also a fissure cave, although it is located in the higher transitional level between bedded limestones and massive limestones of the Lower Chalk formation. There are six fairly large chambers in the cave which are connected to one another by narrow, high passageways. There is a remarkable collection of stalactites, stalagmites and sinter deposits, particularly at the back of the cave.
May to October: Sat von 1 p.m. - 5 p.m., Sun and public holidays 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
The Gutenberger cave is a geopoint since September 2016.

Hospitals that are aiming at improving their postoperative pain therapy and that are honestly interested in evaluating their own patients' outcome compared to national averages are our project's target group.
As QUIPS includes all patients who have undergone surgery (and not only those who are cared for by acute pain units or who are equipped with PCA-pumps), the hospitals' persons in charge of the project should not be members of the particular departments (e.g. anesthesiology, surgery, nursing) but build a team out of all clinical partners who are involved in postoperative patient care (for example, an interdisciplinary task force 'acute pain' could be established).
From experience we know that the best way to start QUIPS is to choose two or three surgical departments with no more than 5 - 6 wards at the beginning.

Q: How to use listing, tikz and tikzmark packages together to annotate source code listing? I'd like to annotate code listing something like this:
Below is what I've attempted so far. I am a little worried about having to use raisebox so that the arrow tip doesn't point to the base of the line. How can I avoid this hardcoding? I would also appreciate any advice on improvements so that it's easier to handle a few varieties of annotations as seen in the screenshot.
It would be nice, to get the desired results, if I can just specify the following:
*
*the distance between the end of source line and the arrow tip

Result:
A: Here's a slightly simplified version of your code.
*
*By using the tikzmark special listings library then you don't need to specify tikzmarks in your code, they are all provided for you.
*The arrows start at (0.5,.5ex) away from the corresponding tikzmarks. The .5ex is half the height of an x, and looks a good vertical height to me.
*The lines and nodes are drawn together and the -| path construction is used to make the line bend nicely.
*A little bit is added to the outer xsep of the label nodes to move them away from the joining line. Other ways of achieving the same effect do seem to cause issues with the arrow placement.
All of this contrives to make the code much shorter. Various numbers could be hard-coded into a style to make it even more simple and a bit more flexible.

This isn't a recipe post, but it's still a great one because trust me when I say you'll want this cleanser in your life! Today, I bring you my review of the Algenist Anti-Aging Melting Cleanser: This is an oldie but a goodie! I used this cleanser for a few months last year & re-incorporated it into my morning routine a little over a month ago & I" mso happy that I did!
For me, this product is a "kill two birds with one stone" sitch. Not only does it leave my skin smooth & soft immediately after I use it, but overtime, I've seen an improvement in the clarity & brightness of my skin.
It's specifically designed to non-drying (unlike a lot of other cleansers, which are full of soapy ingredients that actually dry out the skin).
It's made with alguronic acid, micro algae oil (so you get the benefits of an oil cleanser: washes away impurities but leaves behind the skin's natural oils so it won't strip your skin of moisture), It also has tons of nourishing anti-inflammatory, skin-glowing & healing fatty acids from oils, such as sweet alone, chlorella, avocado, bilberry & olive oil (the oleic acid in olive oil is amazing for preventing moisture loss also).
What sold me on this cleanser initially was the texture. It starts off as a gel, turns into a silky lightweight oil & when you add warm water, it turns into a milky formula & leaves my skin feeling refreshed, clean & smooth.
PSA: It contains no parabens or sulphates, it's soap-free, non comedogenic, hypoallergenic & dermatologist tested.
I highly recommend picking it up if some of the things I mentioned are what you're looking to accomplish with your cleanser! I personally like it in the morning & I oil cleanse at night. You can get it at Sephora! 🙂 Thank me later!

Q: How to get number of matching colums count in the same table as another column? I have a table like below.
+----+----------+---------+--------+----------+---------+---------------------+
| id | box_name | diIndex | diMode | diStatus | status | last_updated |
+----+----------+---------+--------+----------+---------+---------------------+
| 7 | boxa | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2017-03-02 10:49:35 |

+----+----------+---------+--------+----------+---------+---------------------+
Now I want to add a new column in the table which will get me the total number of each matching record of status column like below.
+----+----------+---------+--------+----------+---------+---------------+---------------------+
| id | box_name | diIndex | diMode | diStatus | status | status count | last_updated |
+----+----------+---------+--------+----------+---------+---------------+---------------------+

| 8 | boxa | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2 | 2017-03-02 10:49:35 |
| 9 | boxa | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 |
| 10 | boxa | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 |

| 12 | boxa | 5 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 |
| 13 | boxa | 6 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 |
| 14 | boxa | 7 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 1 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 |
+----+----------+---------+--------+----------+---------++--------------+---------------------+
Here you can see that for status value 1 there are 3 records so value for status_count for columns having status as 1 will be 3 and so on..
How can I achieve this?
A: With window functions, this would be almost trivial to add as a column in a query:
COUNT(*) OVER (PARTITION BY status) AS status_count
Since MySQL hasn't implemented them (you'll have to wait, they may be in the next version), you'll need something more complex now. It can be done with a derived table - to calculate these counts - and then join to the base table:
SELECT
t.id, t.box_name, t.diIndex, t.diMode, t.diStatus, t.status,
g.status_count, t.last_updated
FROM
tableX AS t
JOIN
( SELECT status, COUNT(*) AS status_count
FROM tableX
GROUP BY status
) AS g
ON
t.status = g.status ;

\section{Introduction}
\noindent The vertical dynamics of a free falling ball on a moving racket is considered. The racket is supposed to
move periodically in the vertical direction according to a regular periodic function $f(t)$ and
the ball is reflected according to the law of elastic bouncing when hitting the
racket. The only force acting on the ball is the gravity $g$. Moreover, the mass of the racket is assumed to be large with respect to the mass of the
ball so that the impacts do not affect the motion of the racket.
\noindent This model has inspired many authors as it represents a simple model exhibiting complex dynamics, depending on the properties of the function $f$. The first results were given by Pustyl'nikov in \cite{pust} who studied the possibility of having motions with velocity tending to infinity, for $\df$ large enough. On the other hand, KAM theory implies that if the $C^k$ norm, for $k$ large, of $\df$ is small then all motions are bounded. On these lines some recent results are given in \cite{ma_xu,maro4,maro6}. Bounded motions can be regular (periodic and quasiperiodic, see \cite{maro3}) and chaotic (see \cite{maro5,maro2,ruiztorres}). Moreover, the non periodic case is studied in \cite{kunzeortega2,ortegakunze}, the case of different potentials is considered in \cite{dolgo} and recent results on ergodic properties are present in \cite{studolgo}.
In this paper we are concerned with $(p,q)$-periodic motions understood as $p$-periodic with $q$ bounces in each period. Here $p,q$ are supposed to be positive coprime integers. In \cite{maro3} it is proved that if $p/q$ is sufficiently large, then there exists at least one $(p,q)$-periodic motion. This result comes from an application of Aubry-Mather theory as presented in \cite{bangert}. Actually, the bouncing motions correspond to the orbits of an exact symplectic twist map of the cylinder. The orbits of such maps can be found as critical points of an action functional and the $(p,q)$-periodic orbits found in \cite{maro3} correspond to minima. Here we first note that a refined version of Aubry-Mather theory (see \cite{katok_hass}) gives, for each couple of coprime $p,q$ such that $p/q$ is large, the existence of another $(p,q)$-periodic orbit that is not a minimum, since it is found via a minimax argument. This gives the existence of two different $(p,q)$-periodic motions for fixed values of $p,q$, with $p/q$ large.
We are first interested in the stability in the sense of Lyapunov of such periodic motions. This is related to the structure of the $(p,q)$-periodic orbits of the corresponding exact symplectic twist map, for fixed $p,q$. It comes from Aubry-Mather theory that the $(p,q)$-periodic orbits that are minima can be ordered and if there are two with no other in the middle then they are connected by heteroclinic orbits. In this case they are unstable. On the other hand, $(p,q)$-periodic orbits can form an invariant curve. In this case they are all minima but their stability cannot be determined as before since we are in a degenerate scenario. However, if we suppose to be in the real analytic case, a topological argument (see \cite{ortega_fp,ortega_book}) can be used to deduce instability. More precisely we will use the fact that for a real analytic area and orientation preserving embedding of the plane that is not the identity, every stable fixed point is isolated. Therefore, the hypothesis of $f$ being real analytic comes here into play.
Concerning the structure of the set of $(p,q)$-periodic motions we prove that in the real analytic case they can only be either isolated or in a degenerate case, in the sense that the corresponding orbits form an invariant curve that is the graph of a real analytic function. As before, in the isolated case at least one is unstable and in the degenerate case they all are minima and unstable. Note that this result differs from Aubry-Mather theory since we are not requiring the orbits to be minima of a functional. To prove this result we need the $q$-th iterate of the map to be twist. For $q=1$ this is true for every real analytic $f$, while for the general case $q>1$ we need to restrict to $\norm{\ddf}$ being small.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section \ref{sec:theory} we recall some known facts about exact symplectic twist maps together with the results for the analytic case. In Section \ref{sec:tennis} we introduce the bouncing ball map and describe its main properties. Finally, the results on the existence of two $(p,q)$-periodic motions, the instability and the structure of the set are given in Section \ref{sec:per}.
\section{Some results on periodic orbits of exact symplectic twist maps}\label{sec:theory}
Let us denote by $\Sigma=\RR\times(a,b)$ with $-\infty\leq a<b\leq +\infty$ a possibly unbounded strip of $\RR^2$. We will deal with $C^k$ ($k\geq 1$) or real analytic embeddings $\tilde{S}:\Sigma \rightarrow \RR^2$ such that
\begin{equation}\label{def_cyl}
\tilde{S}\circ\sigma=\sigma\circ \tilde{S}
\end{equation}
where $\sigma:\RR^2\rightarrow\RR^2$ and $\sigma(x,y)=(x+1,y)$. By this latter property, $\tilde{S}$ can be seen as the lift of an embedding $S:\Sigma\rightarrow\AA$ where $\AA = \TT\times \RR$ with $\TT = \RR/\ZZ$ and $\Sigma$ is now understood as the corresponding strip of the cylinder. We denote $\tilde{S}(x,y)=(\bar{x},\bar{y})$ and the corresponding orbit by $(x_n,y_n)_{n\in\ZZ}$.
We say that $\tilde{S}$ is exact symplectic if there exists a $C^1$ function $V:\Sigma\rightarrow \RR$ such that $V\circ\sigma=V$ and
\[
\bar{y} d \bar{x} -y dx = dV(x,y) \quad\mbox{in }\Sigma.
\]
Moreover, by the (positive) twist condition we understand
\[
\frac{\partial \bar{x}}{\partial y} >0 \quad\mbox{in }\Sigma.
\]
A negative twist condition would give analogous results. The exact symplectic condition implies that $\tilde{S}$ preserves the two-form $dy\wedge dx$ so that it is area and orientation preserving.
An equivalent characterization is the existence of a generating function, i.e. a $C^2$ function $h:\Omega\subset \RR^2\rightarrow \RR$ such that $h(x+1,\bar{x}+1) = h(x,\bar{x})$ and $h_{12}(x,\bar{x}) <0$ in $\Omega$ and for $(x,y)\in\Sigma$ we have $\tilde{S}(x,y) = (\bar{x},\bar{y})$ if and only if
\[
\left\{
\begin{split}
h_1(x,\bar{x})&=-y \\
h_2(x,\bar{x})&=\bar{y}.
\end{split}
\right.
\]
Moreover, $\tilde{S}$ preserves the ends of the cylinder if, uniformly in $x$,
\[
\bar{y}(x,y) \rightarrow \pm\infty \quad\mbox{as }y\rightarrow \pm\infty
\]
and twists each end infinitely if, uniformly in $x$,
\[
\bar{x}(x,y)-x \rightarrow \pm\infty \quad\mbox{as }y\rightarrow \pm\infty.
\]
Finally we will say that an embedding of the cylinder $S:\Sigma\rightarrow\AA$ satisfies any of these properties if so does its corresponding lift.
These maps enjoy several properties and many interesting orbits are proved to exist. Here we recall some results concerning periodic orbits. We start with the following
\begin{definition}
Fix two coprime integers $p,q$ with $q\neq 0$. An orbit $(x_n,y_n)_{n\in\ZZ}$ of $\tilde{S}$ is said $(p,q)$-periodic if $(x_{n+q},y_{n+q})=(x_n+p,y_n)$ for every $n\in\ZZ$. Moreover, we say that it is stable (in the sense of Lyapunov) if for every $\varepsilon>0$ there exists $\delta>0$ such that for every $(\hat{x}_0,\hat{y}_0)$ satisfying $|(x_0,y_0)-(\hat{x}_0,\hat{y}_0)|<\delta$ we have $|\tilde{S}^n(\hat{x}_0,\hat{y}_0)-({x}_n,{y}_n)|<\varepsilon$ for every $n\in\ZZ$.
\end{definition}
\begin{remark}\label{rem_periodic}
Note that $(q,p)$-periodic orbits correspond to fixed points of the map $\sigma^{-p}\circ \tilde{S}^q$. This follows from the fact that $\tilde{S}$ is a diffeomorphism defined on the cylinder. Each point of the orbit is a fixed point of $\sigma^{-p}\circ\tilde{S}^q$ and a fixed point of $\sigma^{-p}\circ\tilde{S}^q$ is the initial condition of a $(p,q)$-periodic orbit. Note that different fixed points may correspond to the same orbit but not viceversa. Moreover, if an orbit is $(q,p)$-periodic then it cannot be also $(q',p')$-periodic unless $p/q=p'/q'$. Actually, let $\xi=(x,y)$ and suppose that $\xi=\sigma^{-p}\circ\Phi^q(\xi)=\sigma^{-p'}\circ \Phi^{q'}(\xi)$. Then $\sigma^{p}(\xi)=\Phi^q(\xi)$ and $\sigma^{p'}(\xi)=\Phi^{q'}(\xi)$ from which $\Phi^{qq'}(\xi)=\sigma^{pq'}(\xi)=\sigma^{p'q}(\xi)$ and $pq'=p'q$.
Finally, the stability of a $(q,p)$-periodic orbit corresponds to the stability in the sense of Lyapunov of the corresponding fixed point of the map $\sigma^{-p}\circ\tilde{S}^q$.
\end{remark}
A particular class of periodic orbits are the so called Birkhoff periodic orbits.
\begin{definition}
Fix two coprime integers $p,q$ with $q\neq 0$. An orbit $(x_n,y_n)_{n\in\ZZ}$ of $\tilde{S}$ is said a Birkhoff $(p,q)$-periodic orbit if there exists a sequence $(s_n,u_n)_{n\in\ZZ}$ such that
\begin{itemize}
\item $(s_0,u_0)=(x_0,y_0)$
\item $s_{n+1}>s_n$
\item $(s_{n+q},u_{n+q})=(s_{n}+1,u_{n})$
\item $(s_{n+p},u_{n+p})=\tilde{S}(s_{n},u_{n})$
\end{itemize}
\end{definition}
\begin{remark}
Note that a Birkhoff $(p,q)$-periodic orbit is a $(p,q)$-periodic orbit since
\[
(x_{n+q},y_{n+q})=(s_{np+qp},u_{np+qp})=(s_{np}+p,u_{np})=\tilde{S}^n(s_0,u_0)+(p,0)=(x_{n}+p,y_{n}).
\]
\end{remark}
The existence of Birkhoff $(p,q)$-periodic orbits comes from Aubry-Mather theory. Here we give a related result \cite[Th. 9.3.7]{katok_hass}
\begin{theorem}\label{birk_orbits}
Let $S:\AA\rightarrow\AA$ be an exact symplectic twist diffeomorphism that preserves and twists the ends infinitely and let $p,q$ be two coprime integers. Then there exist at least two Birkhoff $(p,q)$-periodic orbits for $S$.
\end{theorem}
\begin{remark}
The Theorem is proved via variational techniques. The periodic orbits correspond to critical points of an action defined in terms of the generating function. One of this point is a minimum and the other is a minimax if the critical points are isolated.
\end{remark}
In the analytic case, something more can be said on the topology of these orbits.
\begin{proposition}\label{unstable}
Let $\tilde{S}:\Sigma\rightarrow\RR^2$ be an exact symplectic twist embedding satisfying condition \eqref{def_cyl} and admitting a $(p,q)$-periodic orbit. Then there exists at least one $(p,q)$-periodic orbit that is unstable.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
The proof is essentially given in \cite{maroTMNA,ortega_fp,ortega_book}. We give here a sketch. It is enough to prove that there exists at least one unstable fixed point of the area and orientation preserving 1-1 real analytic map $\sigma^{-p}\circ \tilde{S}^q$. Let us first note that since $\tilde{S}$ is twist, the map $\sigma^{-p}\circ \tilde{S}^q$ is not the identity. Actually, it is known (see for example \cite{herman})) that if $\tilde{S}$ is twist, then the image of a vertical line under $\tilde{S}^q$ is a positive path, i.e. a curve such that the angle between the tangent vector and the vertical is always positive. This implies that $\tilde{S}^q$ cannot be a horizontal translation.\\
By hypothesis the set of fixed points of $\sigma^{-p}\circ \tilde{S}^q$ is not empty so that applying \cite[Chapter 4.9, Theorem 15]{ortega_book} we deduce that every stable fixed point is an isolated fixed point.\\
Hence, if there exists some non isolated fixed point, it must be unstable. Finally, suppose that we only have isolated fixed points that are all stable. From \cite[Chapter 4.5, Theorem 12]{ortega_book} they must all have index $1$. On the other hand, the Euler characteristic of the cylinder is null, and by the Poincar\'e-Hopf index formula we have a contradiction. Hence, there must exists at least one fixed point that is unstable.
\end{proof}
\begin{corollary}
In the conditions of Theorem \ref{birk_orbits}, if $S$ is real analytic then there exists at least one unstable $(p,q)$-periodic orbit.
\end{corollary}
In the analytic case, the twist condition gives information on the structure of the set of $(p,q)$-periodic orbits. Actually the following result has been proved in \cite{maroTMNA,ortega_pb}
\begin{theorem}\label{maro_teo}
Consider a $C^1$-embedding $\tilde{S}:\Sigma\rightarrow\RR$ satisfying property \eqref{def_cyl} and suppose it is exact symplectic and twist. Fix a positive integer $p$ and assume that for every $x\in\RR$ there exists $y\in (a,b)$ such that
\begin{equation}\label{maro_cond}
\bar{x}(x,a)<x+p<\bar{x}(x,y).
\end{equation}
Then the map $\sigma^{-p}\circ\tilde{S}$ has at least two fixed points in $[0,1)\times (a,b)$. Moreover, if $\tilde{S}$ is real analytic then the set of fixed points is finite or the graph of a real analytic $1$-periodic function. In the first case the index of such fixed points is either $-1$, $0$, $1$ and at least one is unstable. In the second case, all the fixed points are unstable.
\end{theorem}
\begin{remark}
Aubry-Mather theory gives a description, for fixed $p,q$ of those $(p,q)$-periodic orbits that are global minimizers. They can be ordered and if two of them are neighbouring, in the sense that there is no other minimal $(p,q)$-periodic orbit in the middle, then there are heteroclinic connections between them (\cite{bangert,katok_hass}). In this case, the $(p,q)$-periodic orbits are unstable. On the other hand, they can form an invariant curve. We stress that in the analytic case Theorem \ref{maro_teo} gives the description of the set of all $(p,q)$-periodic orbits, not only those that are action minimizing.
\end{remark}
\section{The bouncing ball map and its properties}\label{sec:tennis}
Consider the motion of a bouncing ball on a vertically
moving racket. We assume that the impacts do not affect the racket whose vertical position is described by a
$1$-periodic $C^k$, $k\geq 2$, or real analytic function $f:\RR\rightarrow\RR$. Let us start getting the equations of motion, following \cite{maro5}. In an inertial frame, denote by $(\to,w)$ the time of impact and the corresponding velocity just after the bounce, and by
$(\Pto,\bar w)$ the corresponding values at the subsequent bounce.
From
the free falling condition we have
\begin{equation}\label{timeeq}
f(t) + w(\Pto-\to) - \frac{g}{2}(\Pto -\to)^2 = f(\Pto) \,,
\end{equation}
where $g$ stands for the standard acceleration due to gravity.
Noting that the velocity just before the impact at time $\Pto$ is $w-g(\Pto-\to)$, using
the elastic impact condition and recalling that the racket is not affected by the ball, we obtain
\begin{equation}
\label{veleq}
\bar{w}+w-g(\Pto-\to) = 2\dot{f}(\Pto)\,,
\end{equation}
where $\dot{}$ stands for the derivative with respect to time. From conditions (\ref{timeeq}-\ref{veleq}) we can define a bouncing motion given an initial condition $(t,w)$ in the following way. If $w\leq\df(t)$ then we set $\bar{t}=t$ and $\bar{w}=w$. If $w>\df(t)$, we claim that we can choose $\bar{t}$ to be the smallest solution $\bar{t}> t$ of \eqref{timeeq}. Bolzano theorem gives the existence of a solution of \eqref{timeeq} considering
\[
F_t(\bar{t})=f(t)-f(\Pto) + w(\Pto-\to) - \frac{g}{2}(\Pto -\to)^2
\]
and noting that $F_t(\bar{t})<0$ for $\Pto-\to$ large and $F_t(\bar{t})>0$ for $\Pto-\to\rightarrow 0^+$. Moreover, the infimum $\bar{t}$ of all these solutions is strictly larger than $t$ since if there exists a sequence $\bar{t}_n\rightarrow t$ satisfying \eqref{timeeq} then,
\[
w - \frac{g}{2}(\Pto_n -\to) = (f(\Pto_n)- f(t)) /(\Pto_n-\to)
\]
that contradicts $w>\df(t)$ using the mean value theorem.
For this value of $\bar{t}$, condition \eqref{veleq} gives the updated velocity $\bar{w}$.
For $\Pto-\to>0$, we introduce the notation
\[
f[\to,\Pto]=\frac{f(\Pto)-f(\to)}{\Pto-\to},
\]
and write
\begin{equation}
\label{w1}
\Pto = \to + \frac 2g w -\frac 2g f[\to,\Pto]\,,
\end{equation}
that also gives
\begin{equation}
\label{w2}
\bar{w}= w -2f
[\to,\Pto]
+ 2\dot{f}(\Pto).
\end{equation}
Now we change to the moving frame attached to the racket, where the velocity after the impact is expressed as $v=w-\dot{f}(t)$,
and we get
the equations
\begin{equation}\label{eq:unb}
\left\{
\begin{split}
\Pto = {} & \to + \frac 2g \vo-\frac 2g f[\to,\Pto]+\frac 2g \df(\to)\textcolor{blue}{\,}
\\
\Pvo = {} & \vo - 2f[\to,\Pto] + \df (\Pto)+\df(\to)\textcolor{blue}{\,.}
\end{split}
\right.
\end{equation}
By the periodicity of the
function $f$, the coordinate $t$ can be seen as an angle. Hence, equations \eqref{eq:unb} define formally a map
\[
\begin{array}{rcl}
\tilde\Psi:
\RR & \longrightarrow & \RR \\
(\to,\vo) & \longmapsto & (\Pto, \Pvo),
\end{array}
\]
satisfying $\tilde\Psi\circ\sigma=\sigma\circ\tilde\Psi$ and the associated map of the cylinder $\Psi:\AA\rightarrow\AA$.
This is the formulation considered by Kunze and Ortega
\cite{kunzeortega2}. Another approach was considered by Pustylnikov in
\cite{pust} and leads to a map that is equivalent to
\eqref{eq:unb}, see \cite{maro3}.
Noting that $w>\df(t)$ if and only if $v>0$, we can define a bouncing motion as before and denote it as a sequence $(t_n,v_n)_{n\in\ZZ^+}$ with $\ZZ^+=\{n\in\ZZ \::\: n\geq 0\}$ such that $(t_n,v_n)\in \TT\times [0,+\infty)$ for every $n\in\ZZ^+$.
The maps $\Psi$ and its lift $\tilde{\Psi}$ are only defined formally. In the following lemma we state that they are well defined and have some regularity.
Let us introduce the notation $\RR_{v_*}=\{v\in\RR \: :\: v>v_* \}$, $\AA_{v_*} = \TT\times \RR_{v_*}$ and $\RR^2_{v_*}=\RR\times\RR_{v_*}$. We will denote the $\sup$ norm by $\norm{\cdot}$ and recall that $f\in C^k(\TT), k\geq 2$ or real analytic.
\begin{lemma}
\label{well_def}
There exists $v_*>4\norm{\df}$ such that the map $\Psi:\AA_{v_*}\rightarrow \AA$ is a $C^{k-1}$ embedding. If $f$ is real analytic, then $\Psi$ is a real analytic embedding.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
The proof is essentially given in \cite{maro5}. We give here a sketch.
To prove that the map is well defined and $C^{k-1}$ we denote $v_{**}=4\norm{\df}$ and apply the implicit function theorem to the $C^{k-1}$ function $F :\{(\to,\vo,\Pto,\Pvo)\in \AA_{v_{**}} \times \RR^2 \: :\:\to\neq\Pto \} \rightarrow \RR^2$
given by
\begin{equation*}
F(\to,\vo,\Pto,\Pvo):=
\left(
\begin{split}
& \Pto - \to - \frac 2g \vo + \frac 2g f[\to,\Pto]-\frac 2g \df (\to) \\
& \Pvo - \vo + 2f[\to,\Pto] - \df(\Pto)-\df(\to)
\end{split}
\right),
\end{equation*}
This gives the existence of a $C^{k-1}$ map $\Psi$ defined in $\AA_{v_{**}}$ such that $F(\to,\vo,\Psi(\to,\vo) )=0$. If $f$ is real analytic, we get that $\Psi$ is real analytic applying the analytic version of the implicit function theorem. \\
One can easily check that $\Psi$ is a local diffeomorphism since
\[
\det \Dif_{\to,\vo} \Psi (t,v) =-\frac{\det (\Dif_{\to,\vo} F(\to,\vo,\Psi(\to,\vo) ))}{ \det (\Dif_{\Pto,\Pvo} F(\to,\vo,\Psi(\to,\vo) ))} \neq 0 \quad\mbox{on }\AA_{v_{**}}.
\]
To prove that $\Psi$ is a global embedding we need to prove that it is injective in $\AA_{v_*}$ for $v_*$ eventually larger than $v_{**}$. This can be done as in \cite{maro5}.
\end{proof}
\begin{remark}
Note that we cannot guarantee that if $(\to_0,\vo_0) \in \AA_{v_*}$ then $\Psi(\to_0,\vo_0) \in \AA_{v_*}$. This is reasonable, since the ball can slow down decreasing its velocity at every bounce.
However, a bouncing motion is defined for $v\geq 0$
\end{remark}
\begin{remark}
From the physical point of view, the condition $\Psi^n(\to_0,\vo_0)\in\AA_{v_*}$ for every $n$, implies that we can only hit the ball when it is falling. To prove it, suppose that $\to_0 =0$ and let us see what happens at the first iterate. The time at which the ball reaches its maximum height is $t^{max}=\frac{\vo_0}{g}$. On the other hand, the first impact time $\Pto$ satisfies,
\[
\Pto \geq \frac{2}{g}\vo_0 - \frac{4}{g}\norm{\df}= t^{max}\left( 2-\frac{4}{\vo_0}\norm{\df} \right) > t^{max},
\]
where the last inequality comes from $\vo_0\in\RR_{v_*}$ and $v_*>4\norm{\df}$.
\end{remark}
The map $\tilde\Psi$ is exact symplectic if we pass to the variables time-energy $(\to,\Eo)$ defined by
\[
(\to,\Eo) = \left(\to,\frac{1}{2}\vo^2\right),
\]
obtaining the conjugated map
\[
\Phi :\AA_{\Eo_*}
\longrightarrow \AA, \qquad \Eo_*=\frac{1}{2}v_*^2
\]
defined by
\begin{equation}\label{eq:unbe}
\left\{
\begin{split}
\Pto = & \to + \frac 2g \sqrt{2\Eo}-\frac 2g f[\to,\Pto]+\frac 2g \df(\to)
\\
\PEo = & \frac{1}{2}\left( \sqrt{2\Eo} - 2f[\to,\Pto] + \df (\Pto)+\df(\to) \right)^2,
\end{split}
\right.
\end{equation}
that by Lemma \ref{well_def} is a $C^{k-1}$-embedding or real analytic if $f$ is real analytic. More precisely, we have the following
\begin{lemma}
\label{lemma:exact}
The map $\Phi$ is exact symplectic and twist in $\AA_{e_*}$.
Moreover, $\Phi$ preserves and twists infinitely the upper end.
\end{lemma}
The map $\Phi$ is not defined in the whole cylinder. However, it is possible to extend to the whole cylinder preserving its properties. More precisely:
\begin{lemma}
\label{extension}
There exists a $C^{k-2}$ exact symplectic and twist diffeomorphism $\bar{\Phi}:\AA\rightarrow\AA$ such that $\bar{\Phi} \equiv \Phi$ on $\AA_{e_*}$ and $\bar{\Phi}\equiv\Phi_0$ on $\AA\setminus\AA_{\frac{e_*}{2}}$ where $\Phi_0$ is the integrable twist map $\Phi_0(t,e)=(t+e,e)$. Moreover, $\bar{\Phi}$ preserves the ends of the cylinder and twists them infinitely. If $f$ is real analytic, then the extension $\bar{\Phi}$ is $C^\infty$.
\end{lemma}
Due to Lemma \ref{well_def} and the fact that the maps $\Phi$ and $\Psi$ are conjugated we can consider the lift $\tilde{\Phi}:\RR^2_{e_*}\rightarrow\RR^2$ and give the following
\begin{definition}
A complete bouncing motion $(t_n,e_n)_{n\in\ZZ}$ is a complete orbit of the map $\tilde{\Phi}$.
\end{definition}
In the following section we will study the existence and properties of periodic complete bouncing motions as orbits of the map $\tilde{\Phi}$ defined in \eqref{eq:unbe}.
\section{Periodic bouncing motions}\label{sec:per}
The existence of periodic complete bouncing motions follows from an application of Aubry-Mather theory. In this section we prove it and in the analytic case we give some results on the structure of such motions and their stability.
We start saying that a complete bouncing motion is $(q,p)$-periodic if in time $p$ the ball makes $q$ bouncing before repeating the motion, more precisely:
\begin{definition}
Given two coprime integers $q,p\in\ZZ^+$, a complete bouncing motion $(t_n,e_n)_{n\in\ZZ}$ is $(q,p)$-periodic if the corresponding orbit of $\tilde{\Phi}$ is $(p,q)$-periodic. Moreover, we say that it is stable if the corresponding orbit is stable.
\end{definition}
The existence of two $(q,p)$-periodic complete bouncing motions comes from an application of Theorem \ref{birk_orbits}.
\begin{theorem}\label{pre_bouncing}
For every $f\in C^3$ there exists $\alpha>0$ such that for every positive coprime $p,q$ satisfying $p/q>\alpha$ there exist two different $(q,p)$-periodic complete bouncing motions. Moreover, if $f$ is real analytic, then at least one of the $(q,p)$-periodic complete bouncing motion is unstable.
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
By Lemma \ref{lemma:exact}, the map $\Phi$ defined in \eqref{eq:unbe} is a $C^2$ exact symplectic twist embedding in $\AA_{e_*}$ for some large $e_*$ depending on $\norm{\df}$. Moreover $\Phi$ preserves and twists infinitely the upper end. Its extension $\bar{\Phi}$ coming from Lemma \ref{extension} satisfies the hypothesis of Theorem \ref{birk_orbits} and admits for every coprime $p,q$ two Birkhoff $(q,p)$-periodic orbit. Consider the Birkhoff $(q,p)$-periodic orbits for $p,q$ positive and $p/q$ large enough such that
\begin{equation}\label{choice_pq}
\frac{p}{q}-1-\frac{4}{g}\norm\df>\frac{2}{g}\sqrt{2e_*}.
\end{equation}
Since Birkhoff periodic orbits are cyclically ordered, from \cite[lemma 9.1]{gole} we have that they satisfy the estimate $t_{n+1}-t_n>p/q - 1$. On the other hand, from \eqref{eq:unbe},
\[
t_{n+1}-t_n\leq\frac{2}{g}\sqrt{2e_n}+\frac{4}{g}\norm\df
\]
so that it must be
\[
\frac{2}{g}\sqrt{2e_n}+\frac{4}{g}\norm\df>\frac{p}{q}-1.
\]
By the choice of $p/q$ in \eqref{choice_pq} we have that $e_n>e_*$ for every $n\in\ZZ$ so that these Birkhoff periodic orbits are all contained in $\AA_{e_*}$ and so they are orbits of the original map $\Phi$. If $f$ is real analytic the result on the instability follows from Proposition \ref{unstable}.
\end{proof}
Theorem \ref{pre_bouncing} gives the existence of $(p,q)$-periodic bouncing motions but does not give information on the topological structure of the set of $(p,q)$-periodic bouncing motions for fixed values of $(p,q)$. This is a complicated issue and some results comes from Aubry-Mather theory. However, here we will see which results can be obtained using Theorem \ref{maro_teo}. To state this result we give the following
\begin{definition}
We say that the set of $(p,q)$-periodic complete bouncing motions is (analytically) degenerate if there exists a real analytic curve $(t(s),e(s))$ such that $(t(s+1),e(s+1))=(t(s)+1,e(s))$ for every $s\in\RR$, the function $t(s)$ is bijective for $s\in[0,1)$ and $(t_n,e_n)_{n\in\ZZ}$ is a $(p,q)$-periodic complete bouncing motion if and only if there exist $n_0,s_0$ such that $(t_{n_0},e_{n_0})=(t(s_0),e(s_0))$.
\end{definition}
The following result is a quite direct consequence of Lemma \ref{lemma:exact}.
\begin{proposition}
If $f$ is real analytic, then there exists $\alpha>0$ such that for every $p>\alpha$ the set of $(p,1)$-periodic complete bouncing motions is either finite or degenerate. In the first case at least one $(p,1)$-periodic complete bouncing motion is unstable. In the degenerate case, all $(p,1)$-periodic complete bouncing motion are unstable.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
By Lemma \ref{lemma:exact} the map $\tilde{\Phi}$ is exact symplectic and twist on $\RR^2_{e_*}$. Moreover, let us choose $a$ such that $e_*<\sqrt{2a}$ and $p$ such that
\[
\frac{gp}{2}-2\norm{\dot{f}}>\sqrt{2a}.
\]
Let us start with the following estimates for the lift $\tilde{\Phi}$ that can be easily proved by induction on $n$ from \eqref{eq:unbe}:
\begin{equation}\label{stim_t_e}
|\sqrt{2e_n}-\sqrt{2e}|\leq 4n\norm{\dot{f}}, \qquad \left|t_n-t-\frac{2}{g}n\sqrt{2e}\right|\leq 4n^2\frac{\norm{\dot{f}}}{g}.
\end{equation}
These give
\[
\bar{t}(t,a)-t\leq \frac{2}{g}\sqrt{2a}+4\frac{\norm{\dot{f}}}{g}<p.
\]
On the other hand, Lemma \ref{lemma:exact} also gives that $\tilde{\Phi}$ twists the upper end infinitely, i.e. $\lim_{e\rightarrow +\infty}\bar{t}(t,e)-t=+\infty$ uniformly in $t$. Hence, condition \eqref{maro_cond} is satisfied in the strip $\Sigma=[a,+\infty)$ for every $p$. The conclusion comes from the application of Theorem \ref{maro_teo} and the fact that $(p,1)$-periodic complete bouncing motions corresponds to the fixed points of the map $\sigma^{-p}\circ\tilde{\Phi}$.
\end{proof}
This result is not trivially extended to $(p,q)$-periodic motions for $q\geq 1$ since $\Phi^q$ need to be exact symplectic and twist. The twist condition is in general not preserved by composition, while the exactness is, as shown in the following result, inspired by \cite{bosc_ort}
\begin{lemma}\label{lemma_isot_exact}
For every $q>0$ there exists $e_\#\geq e_*$ such that for every $p>0$ the map $\sigma^{-p}\circ\tilde{\Phi}^q:\RR^2_{e_\#}\rightarrow\RR^2$ is exact symplectic
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
Since the map $\tilde{\Phi}$ is defined in $\RR^2_{e_*}$, the image $\tilde{\Phi}(\RR^2_{e_*})$ could not be contained in $\RR^2_{e_*}$ so that the iterate could not be defined. From \eqref{eq:unb} we have that $|\bar{v}-v|\leq 4\norm{\dot{f}}$ from which, the map $\tilde{\Psi}^q$ is well defined in $\RR^2_{v_\#}$ with $v_\#=v_* + 4 q \norm{\dot{f}}$. Hence passing to the variables $(t,e)$, the map $\tilde{\Phi}^q$ is defined in $\RR^2_{e_\#}$ with $e_\#=\frac{1}{2}v_\#^2$.
Since $\Phi$ is exact symplectic, there exists $V:\RR^2_{e_\#}\rightarrow\RR$ such that, defining $\lambda=e dt$ we have $\tilde{\Phi}^*\lambda-\lambda=dV$. Hence, denoting $V_1=V+V\circ\tilde{\Phi}+\dots+V\circ\tilde{\Phi}^{q-1}$ it holds that $V_1\circ\sigma=V_1$ on $\RR^2_{e_\#}$ and
\begin{align*}
dV_1 &= dV+\tilde{\Phi}^*dV+\dots+(\tilde{\Phi}^{q-1})^*dV \\
& = \tilde{\Phi}^*\lambda-\lambda + (\tilde{\Phi}^2)^*\lambda-\tilde{\Phi}^*\lambda +\dots+(\tilde{\Phi}^q)^*\lambda-(\tilde{\Phi}^{q-1})^*\lambda \\
&= (\tilde{\Phi}^q)^*\lambda-\lambda
\end{align*}
from which $\tilde{\Phi}$ is exact symplectic. Finally, we conclude noting that by the definition of $\sigma^{-p}$, $(\sigma^{-p}\circ\tilde{\Phi}^q)^*\lambda = (\tilde{\Phi}^q)^*\lambda$.
\end{proof}
Concerning the twist condition the following technical result holds.
\begin{lemma}\label{twist_q}
Let $f$ be $C^2$. For every $q\geq 1$ there exist $\epsilon_q>0$, $e^q>e_\#$, such that if $\norm{\ddf}<\epsilon_q$ then
\[
\frac{\partial t_q}{\partial e}=\frac{2q}{g\sqrt{2e}}(1+\tilde{f}_q(t,e))
\]
where $|\tilde{f}_q(t,e)|< 1/2$ on $\RR^2_{e^q}$.
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
To simplify the computation, let us perform the change of variables $y=\sqrt{2e}+\df(t)$ so that \eqref{eq:unbe} becomes
\begin{equation}\label{eq:unby}
\left\{
\begin{split}
\Pto = & \to + \frac 2g y-\frac 2g f[\to,\Pto]
\\
\bar{y} = & y - 2f[\to,\Pto] + 2\df (\Pto).
\end{split}
\right.
\end{equation}
Since $\partial t_q/\partial e=(\partial t_q/\partial y) (\partial y/\partial e)$ it is enough to prove that for every $q\geq 1$ there exist $\epsilon_q>0$ and $y^q$ large, such that if $\norm{\ddf}<\epsilon_q$ then
\begin{equation}\label{new_th}
\frac{\partial t_q}{\partial y}=\frac{2q}{g}(1+\tilde{f}_q(t,y))
\end{equation}
where $|\tilde{f}_q(t,y)|< 1/2$ on $\RR^2_{y^q}$.
Let us start with some estimates that hold for every $q\geq 1$. It comes from \eqref{eq:unby} that
\begin{equation}\label{y_q}
y_q=y+2\sum_{i=1}^{q}\df(t_i)+2\sum_{i=1}^{q}f[t_{i-1},t_{i}]
\end{equation}
so that
\[
|y_q-y|\leq 4q\norm\df.
\]
Using it,
\begin{equation}\label{t_q}
|t_q-t_{q-1}|\geq \frac{2}{g}y-\frac{2}{g}(4q+1)\norm\df,
\end{equation}
from which there exists $y^q$ large enough and $C_q$ such that
\begin{equation}\label{fqq-11}
\left|\partial_{t_q}f[t_{q-1},t_q]\right|=\left|\frac{\dot{f}(t_q)-f[t_{q-1},t_q]}{t_q-t_{q-1}}\right|\leq
\frac{g\norm{\dot{f}}}{y-(4q+2)\norm{\dot{f}}}<\frac{C_q}{y} \qquad \mbox{on } \RR^2_{y^q}
\end{equation}
and analogously
\begin{equation}\label{fqq-12}
\left|\partial_{t_{q-1}}f[t_{q-1},t_q]\right|<\frac{C_{q-1}}{y} \qquad \mbox{on } \RR^2_{y^{q-1}}
\end{equation}
Now we can start the proof by induction on $q\geq 1$. For $q=1$ we have, differentiating the first equation in \eqref{eq:unby}
\begin{equation}\label{t_1_y}
\frac{\partial t_1}{\partial y}\left(1+\frac{2}{g}\partial_{t_{1}}f[t,t_1]\right)=\frac{2}{g}y
\end{equation}
from which, using \eqref{fqq-11} we get the initial step taking a suitably larger value of $y^1$.\\
For the inductive step, let us suppose \eqref{new_th} to be true for $i=1,\dots,q-1$. By implicit differentiation
\begin{equation}\label{t_q_e}
\frac{\partial t_q}{\partial y}\left(1+\frac{2}{g}\partial_{t_{q}}f[t_{q-1},t_q]\right)=\frac{2}{g}\frac{\partial y_{q-1}}{\partial y}+\frac{\partial t_{q-1}}{\partial y}\left(1-\frac{2}{g}\partial_{t_{q-1}}f[t_{q-1},t_q]\right)
\end{equation}
From \eqref{y_q} and the inductive hypothesis we have
\begin{align*}
\frac{\partial y_{q-1}}{\partial y}&=1+2\sum_{i=1}^{q-1}\left(\ddf(t_i) \frac{\partial t_i}{\partial y}-\partial_{t_{i}}f[t_{i-1},t_{i}]\frac{\partial t_i}{\partial y} -\partial_{t_{i-1}}f[t_{i-1},t_{i}]\frac{\partial t_{i-1}}{\partial y}\right)\\
&=1+2\sum_{i=1}^{q-1}\left(\ddf(t_i) (1+\tilde{f}_i)-\partial_{t_{i}}f[t_{i-1},t_{i}](1+\tilde{f}_i) -\partial_{t_{i-1}}f[t_{i-1},t_{i}](1+\tilde{f}_{i-1})\right).
\end{align*}
Since by (\ref{fqq-11}-\ref{fqq-12}) for every $i$ $|\partial_{t_{i}}f[t_{i-1},t_{i}]|$ tends to zero uniformly as $y \rightarrow +\infty$ and $|\tilde{f}_i|<1/2$ for $y$ large, we can find new constants $C_{q-1}$ and $y^{q-1}$ such that on $\RR^2_{y^{q-1}}$,
\begin{equation}\label{stim_y}
\frac{\partial y_{q-1}}{\partial y} = 1 + \bar{f}_{q-1}(t,y) \qquad \mbox{with } |\bar{f}_{q-1}|\leq C_{q-1}\norm\ddf.
\end{equation}
Using it and the inductive hypothesis in \eqref{t_q_e} we get
\begin{align}\label{final}
\frac{\partial t_q}{\partial y}\left(1+\frac{2}{g}\partial_{t_{q}}f[t_{q-1},t_q]\right)&=\frac{2}{g}(1 + \bar{f}_{q-1}(t,y))+\frac{2(q-1)}{g}(1+\tilde{f}_{q-1}(t,y))\left(1-\frac{2}{g}\partial_{t_{q-1}}f[t_{q-1},t_q]\right)\\
&=\frac{2q}{g}\left(1+ \tilde{f}_q(t,y)\right)
\end{align}
where,
\[
\tilde{f}_q(t,y)=\frac{1}{q}\bar{f}_{q-1}(t,y)+\frac{q-1}{q}\tilde{f}_{q-1}(t,y)+\frac{2(q-1)}{gq}\partial_{t_{q-1}}f[t_{q-1},t_q](1+\tilde{f}_{q-1}(t,y)).
\]
Now (\ref{fqq-11}-\ref{fqq-12}) and \eqref{stim_y} imply
\[
|\tilde{f}_q|<\frac{C_{q-1}}{q}\norm\ddf+\frac{q-1}{2q}+\frac{C'_{q-1}}{y}
\]
so that we can find $\epsilon_q$ and $y_q$ such that if $\norm\ddf<\epsilon_q$ then $|\tilde{f}_q|<\frac{1}{2}-\frac{1}{2q}$ on $\RR^2_{y^{q}}$. Plugging it into \eqref{final} and using again (\ref{fqq-11}-\ref{fqq-12}) we get the thesis, eventually increasing $y^q$.
\end{proof}
This is used to prove the following result
\begin{proposition}
Suppose that $f$ is real analytic. For every $q>0$ there exist $\alpha>0$ and $\epsilon_q>0$ such that if $p>\alpha$ and $\norm{\ddf}<\epsilon_q$ then the set of $(p,q)$-periodic complete bouncing motion is either finite or degenerate. In the first case at least one $(p,q)$-periodic complete bouncing motion is unstable. In the degenerate case, all $(p,q)$-periodic complete bouncing motion are unstable.
\end{proposition}
\begin{proof}
We would like to apply Theorem \ref{maro_teo} to the map $\tilde{\Phi}^q$, noting that $(p,q)$-periodic bouncing motions correspond to fixed points of the map $\sigma^{-p}\circ\tilde{\Phi}^q$. Let us fix $q>0$. In Lemma \ref{lemma_isot_exact} we proved that $\tilde{\Phi}^q$ is exact symplectic in $\RR^2_{e_\#}$ for some $e_\#$ depending on $q$. Moreover, by Lemma \ref{twist_q}, there exist $\epsilon_q$ and $e^q>e_\#$ such that if $\norm{\ddf}<\epsilon_q$ then $\tilde{\Phi}^q$ is also twist on $\RR^2_{e^q}$. Now choose $p>0$ such that
\[
\frac{gp}{2q}-2q\norm{\dot{f}}>e^q.
\]
Hence, there exist $b>a$ such that
\[
e^q<\sqrt{2a}<\frac{gp}{2q}-2q\norm{\dot{f}}<\frac{gp}{2q}+2q\norm{\dot{f}}<\sqrt{2b}.
\]
This choice for $a,b$ gives condition \eqref{maro_cond} on the strip $\Sigma=\RR\times (a,b)$. Actually, from \eqref{stim_t_e},
\begin{align*}
t_q(t,b)-t & \geq\frac{2}{g}q\sqrt{2b}-4q^2\frac{\norm{\dot{f}}}{g}>p \\
t_q(t,a)-t & \leq\frac{2}{g}q\sqrt{2a}+4q^2\frac{\norm{\dot{f}}}{g}<p.
\end{align*}
This concludes the proof.
\end{proof}

Q: How to reset all components in Vue.js I'm trying to restart my component when the route changes:
beforeRouteUpdate (to, from, next) {
Object.assign(this.$data, this.$options.data())
console.log(to.query);
next();
}
but it doesn't work; it only prints the console.log. I've also tried this.$options.data.call(this) and apply.
A: In order to force Vue to re-render same component upon route query change, it is possible to assign a key to the <router-view it mount's into and push router to the page with the same route name or path.
Example:
Mounting point:
<router-view
:key="$route.fullPath"
/>
Component navigation, assuming route name is blog
<router-link :to={ name: 'blog', query: { count: 10 } }>Link to the same route</router-link>
This is assuming that you want to reset data of page component while navigating to the same page component with different data.
If component that you want to reset is not the route component, it is possible to reset it's data with watch option, while saving original data.
Example:
data () {
return {
initialData: {
// some initial data
},
data: {}
}
},
watch: {
'$route.fullPath': {
immediate: true, // Immediate option to call watch handler on first mount
handler () {
this.resetData()
}
}
},
methods: {
resetData () {
this.data = Object.assign({}, this.initialData)
},
},
Note, that any $route options can be watched and additional conditions added to handler via next and previous arguments.
A: Try
this.$router.reload()

Opportunity in the Marketplace
In the next five years, ANDP will invest more than $50 million into Black-owned residential contractors, subcontractors, and vendors in the form of partnership investments, direct contracts, and low-cost loans.
"Working with ANDP we know one thing for sure - get the project right and we will be taken care of. This trust is crucial in the residential construction business. The more trust we have in a relationship, the more efficient we work."
- Van Hardimon, Van Hardimon Construction, ANDP Single-Family development partner
Addressing Atlanta's Equity Crisis:
Building Wealth & Economic Opportunity
Why it Matters: Read why ANDP works to create economic opportunities for small, locally owned Black businesses in the affordable housing sector. Learn More.
THE PROBLEM: Atlanta ranks first in economic inequality and nearly last in upward mobility in America.
The typical Black household currently has less than a quarter (23.3%) of the wealth of a typical white household, down from more than a third (34.6%) before the Great Recession. Almost 40% (38.4%, or $1.18 trillion) of the $3 trillion wealth gap is attributable to homeownership rates and home values.
WHY IT MATTERS: Centuries of systemic racism in America's homeownership delivery system, including the development of our modern mortgage finance system, have led to deep racial disparities in homeownership rates, economic opportunity, and historical gaps in wealth.
Black and minority families are disproportionately affected by the affordable housing shortage due to a history of institutionalized racism. From unequal access to funds for Black veterans under the G.I. bill to decades of redlining and unfair lending practices, it is difficult to find a more systemic form of racism than in the housing sector. Despite efforts to outlaw housing discrimination, a vast divide remains between the rate of white homeownership (75%) and the rate of Black homeownership (44%).
This homeownership gap is a leading source of the wealth gap. Nationwide, Black-owned homes are typically worth about 18% less than white-owned homes. If the typical Black-owned home were worth the same as the typical white-owned home, Black wealth would more than double (from $930 billion to $2.1 trillion). Research by the Brookings Institution finds, "Most people start their firms using their personal wealth – most often, the equity in their home." This direct link between homeownership rates, home values, and economic opportunities for Black families demonstrates the importance of investing in affordable homeownership and Black-owned businesses engaged in affordable housing - contractors, construction partners, property managers, and more.
SOLUTIONS: To create economic opportunity and equity in the marketplace while building critically needed housing supply to bridge metro Atlanta's homeownership and wealth gaps, ANDP is investing $50M in Black-owned small businesses.
ANDP's vision for racial equity motivates and informs every phase of its work: in its development, policy, and lending capacities; the geographic focus of neighborhoods served; the selection of contractors and partners; and the makeup of its staff and Board of Directors. Through its campaign to create and preserve 2,000 units of affordable housing by 2025, ANDP estimates it will be able to invest more than $50 million into Black-owned residential contractors, subcontractors, and vendors in the form of partnership investments, direct contracts, and low-cost loans.
OUR IMPACTWith an intentional focus on working with locally-based, Black-owned businesses, ANDP has grown its scale in producing homeownership opportunities while growing Black-owned companies in the process.
Prioritizing Black-owned businesses - ANDP's work is having a lasting impact on the capacity and longevity of locally-based, Black-owned businesses. Through partnership investments, direct contracts, and low-cost loans, ANDP is investing tens of millions in local businesses. Currently, 50% of ANDP's contractors and construction partners are Black-owned.
Developing 100 homes annually - In the last five years, ANDP has doubled its production to 100 homes annually. Since 2009, we have developed 700+ single-family homes, creating much-needed homeownership and single-family rental options.
Building Small Business Scale - Since partnering with ANDP, two developers have been able to add staff and significantly expand their company; another has reported a 35% increase in revenue.
Increasing down payment assistance - Rising rents and stagnant wages make saving for a down payment on a home a challenge. ANDP has deployed DPA to nearly 1,000 homebuyers in the last decade.
Building Black wealth through homeownership - A study of ANDP homebuyers, 76% of whom are from households of color, demonstrates a five-year wealth gain of nearly $89,000 in homeowner equity. Approximately 93% of ANDP homebuyers are still in their homes. This longevity comes with a host of benefits to the family and the greater community, including increased civic participation, better educational outcomes for children, better health outcomes tied to quality housing conditions, and generational wealth.

The most appreciatable component about Sano Sansar is its visualisation and cinematography. Kathmandu looks beautiful from Alok's camera, and he has successfully shown us the beauty that lies in the places we always see. St. Xaviers never looked like this before.
I think we all must go to the theater and watch this movie, so that better Nepali movies come up. We really need to appreciate this gem in between the potatoes :P.

Thoughts on Undertaker retirement and Wrestlemania 33 review…
April 3, 2017 Kev Brock Leave a comment
Wow. What a Wrestlemania. So the Undertaker retires by losing match against Roman Reigns last night? I notice some wrestling fans are disappointed and angry with that but hey, I actually loved that! Undertaker retires in style! It's just his way of going out with a bang. That's going out on a positive note. I'm sure the Undertaker himself only chooses of who he loses matches to. It was his decision to lose Wrestlemania streak to Brock Lesnar and now it's his decision to lose his final match to Roman Reigns. It was a great match, though! Undertaker matches are always thrilling and exciting. Last night, I grew more respect to Roman Reigns even more as he is my favorite wrestler now.
A lot of wrestling fans are going, why does 'Taker's final match have to be against someone like Roman Reigns instead of another well known icon like Kane? Ya know, I think it was a smart move that 'Taker would lose his final match to a new superstar we don't know much about. 'Taker just helped Roman Reigns get the opportunity of a lifetime. Give someone else a chance for the spotlight and recognition. I'm tired of all these old stars hogging the spotlight and it's about giving someone new and young a chance. I'm willing to bet that it was 'Taker's decision to lose his final match to Roman Reigns (not Vince McMahon's decision), that is what he wanted. It's a smart move to lose your final match. Maybe 'Taker himself respects the hell out of Roman Reigns and wanted to help him boost his career some?
Anyways, I know a lot of wrestling fans are disappointed and sad that this is Undertaker's last match but it doesn't surprise me. An Undertaker retirement was bound to happen anyways. I mean, Mark Calloway is 52 years old and I'm pretty sure his body can't take it anymore since he is aging. On top of that, Undertaker just had major hip replacement surgery earlier this year and that's another reason for him calling it quits. His body can't take it anymore 'cause he had a 26 year career in the business.
Plus, Undertaker is a family man as he is married to Michelle McCool (former WWE Diva) and they have a daughter together. One powerful moment after Undertaker's match got over with, he took off his wrestling gear and left it in the middle of the ring. After that, he celebrated his retirement and career with his fans then he gave his wife a kiss at ringside. Undertaker went totally out of character after the match which was amazing.
Anyway, on with the rest of Wrestlemania… it was a great show except the only match I didn't care for at all was Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt. That match was pretty boring. It was also strange and very bizarre. I was hoping the match would be a lot better than that but it turned out to be pretty stupid.
I thought the best matches of the night were AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon, a lot of high flying stuff as you would expect. Very entertaining match. Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens was great but I was hoping that Jericho would win and retain but of course, Jericho loses again.
The Fatal 4 Way RAW Women's championship was awesome and I'm glad Bayley won. I think you're going to see Bayley as women's champion for a long while 'cause she's getting really popular I see. She's my favorite too.
The Best thing that happened last night at WM was the Hardy Boys coming back. No superstars from the past returned except for the Hardys, Matt and Jeff. The iconic tag team. The most talented high flyers of all time! I love Matt and Jeff. They're my favorite as well. Looks like the Hardy Boys are back in a full time run now they are tag team champions. Hope the Hardy's stick around for a long while. Matt and Jeff were looking good last night as they were looking clean and healthy (both had a problem with drugs over the years). That's probably why they finally returned to WWE 'cause WWE saw they got themselves clean and healthy. In the ring, the Hardy Boys still got it after all these years, they killed that match. It was amazing. One of the best ladder matches I've seen in a long time!
As far as the John Cena and Nikki in-ring proposal goes, that was pretty cool as it does bring back memories of the Macho Man and Miss Elizabeth love story.
Triple H vs. Seth Rollins was good and I'm glad Seth won.
Lesnar vs. Goldberg was okay but predictably another short match. Goldberg matches always seem to be a short match, not sure why. Maybe it's his age maybe?
One thing I find strange about last night's show, was that they didn't do any entertaining backstage segments at all. They usually do that every year too but they didn't this year. Each year at WM they usually have a bunch of wrestling legends doing silly things and then Ron Simmons comes up and does his usual, "Damn" catchphrase but they didn't do that this year. Like they didn't have time for that this year.
It was a really good Wrestlemania. Other than the Hardy Boys returning, no other superstars from the past returned. No Hogan. No Sting. I'm sure those two guys will return soon, though. Not the best Wrestlemania but I've seen better.
Roman ReignsThe UndertakerWrestlemania 33
Tonight is Wrestlemania night so I will be watching that all evening later…
So it's Wrestlemania weekend and I'll be watching WM-33 all evening later. WM-33 doesn't start 'til 7 and will probably go on 'til midnight tonight. There's a lot of matches on the card so it's looking like it'll be a 5 hour ppv tonight.
Matches on the card I look forward to most are: Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens, AJ Styles vs. Shane McMahon, The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns, Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt and the RAW Women's Title Fatal 4 Way (w/Charlotte, Bayley, Sasha and Nia Jax).
To be honest, I'm not really looking forward to Brock Lesnar vs. Goldberg. That match will probably be the main event, the final match tonight so hopefully that match is not gonna be another quick one. We all know Wrestlemania tonight will end with Brock Lesnar winning the belt from Goldberg. It'll be a predictable Wrestlemania ending for sure. If Goldberg ends up winning again, that'll be shocking.
Will there be any surprise superstar returns tonight? Yes, absolutely. I think there will be a few for sure. Even though Kurt Angle is scheduled to be a part of the Hall of Fame thing tonight, I think he will get himself involved in a match and interfere but which one?
I also think the icon Sting could make a return tonight. There are a lot of talks and rumors that Sting isn't done with wrestling yet and he didn't rule out a return. I don't think he's retired yet. If Sting interfered in a match tonight which one will it be? I would think Triple H and Seth Rollins. Remember, Sting lost to Triple H at WM-31 so will Sting get his payback tonight? I can't see Sting retiring to losing against Triple H. So if Sting makes Triple H lose to Seth Rollins tonight, that could lead to a Triple H vs. Sting rematch and I can see that happening. Would make a lot of sense.
I'm sure there will be other surprising superstar returns as well.
Hopefully it'll be a good Wrestlemania tonight and I'm sure it will be. I'm gonna start watching it at 6 for the kick off show.

Wrestlemania 33… winner predictions…
March 22, 2017 Kev Brock Leave a comment
So Wrestlemania 33 is coming up in a couple of weeks and yes, I'll be watching it definitely and here are my winner predictions for the card…
Bray Wyatt vs. Randy Orton for the WWE Championship: Bray Wyatt is currently WWE championship and I think Bray Wyatt would win and retain the title with some outside interference possibly by Erick Rowan and Luke Harper. Bray Wyatt just won the WWE title at the last Elimination Chamber ppv and it would be unfair if Bray lost it. Bray retaining the title would help him become a monster main eventer for a long while. I don't really want to see the belt back on Randy Orton again. Time to give someone else a chance for the spotlight.
Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar for the Universal Championship: Goldberg is now the Universal Champion and I think Lesnar will get the win 'cause this could be Goldberg's last match. I have a feeling that this match will be a pretty quick one 'cause all Goldberg matches are usually quick. Lesnar winning the Universal champion from Goldberg will be Lesnar's revenge. WWE needs to build Lesnar back up to a monster again 'cause they've been making Lesnar look weak for a while so I think Lesnar will win this one for sure.
The Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns: Honestly this is the match that I look forward to the most 'cause I'm a huge fan of the Undertaker. Who doesn't like the Undertaker, ya know? His matches are always exciting! I think this match will be exciting too. I would like Undertaker to win this one but I have a feeling that Roman Reigns will probably get the win with some possibly outside interference by Braun Stroman. He could interfere anytime. I wouldn't be surprised that Roman would get the win 'cause WWE has been so high on Roman for a long while now. Don't get me wrong, I do like Roman Reigns though and thinks he's a badass. Roman might get the win 'cause this could be Undertaker's final WM match. There's a lot of talk that 'Taker maybe on his way to retirement soon. It'll be awesome if 'Taker wins, though.
Shane McMahon vs. Aj Styles: I think this is another match I look forward to. Should be another exciting match. There will definitely be a lot of high flying for sure. I think AJ Styles will get the win easy.
Chris Jericho vs. Kevin Owens for United States Championship: Another match I look most forward to as I think this will be a good one. I think Jericho will win and will retain the title 'cause WWE has been making Jericho look weak for the past month or so. This will be Jericho's chance to get on top again. It would be an awesome way for Jericho to get his revenge since Owens betrayed his friendship.
Dean Ambrose vs. Baron Corbin for the IC Title: I think Baron Corbin will get the win here. Corbin is awesome and it'll be a nice buildup if he won the IC title from Ambrose. Corbin is a pretty new guy and WWE seems to be giving the new guys the spotlight a lot.
John Cena & Nikki Bella vs. The Miz & Maryse: Cena and Nikki will win easily. Of course Cena will win 'cause he has won pretty much every Wrestlemania so far.
Bayley vs. Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax for Women's title: I think the WWE will shock the wrestling world and let Bayley retain. She's like a female version of John Cena and I think she's going to keep the women's title for a long while. I think Bayley will win this one for sure. I really like her too.
Alexa Bliss vs. Carmella vs. Natalya vs. Becky Lynch vs. Mickie James… WWE Women's Smackdown championship: I haven't been watching a lot of Smackdown but I think Mickie James would probably win this one. She just returned in the WWE after a long hiatus and I think another title run is up for her.
Neville vs. Austin Aries for the Cruiserweight title: I predict Austin Aries will take the title from Neville 'cause WWE has been pretty high on Austin Aries as of late.
Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson vs. Enzo & Big Cass vs. Cesaro & Sheamus for WWE RAW Tag Title: I think WWE will surprise fans and give Enzo & Big Cass the win. Cesaro & Sheamus just had the titles not too long ago.
Andre the Giant Battle Royal: I predict Apollo Crews will get the win.
Triple H vs. Seth Rollins: No doubt Triple H is gonna win this one. It's gonna be game over for Seth Rollins. When Seth wants to call out Triple H, you mess with the wrong guy. Wrestlemania has always been Triple H's yard, so watch out Seth!
Damn. That's a lot of matches. It's probably gonna be a 4 hour ppv but I'm sure a lot of these matches are going to be real quick so they can give more time for the big main events. The main event matches will probably be the longest. Goldberg vs. Lesnar will be quick. I think Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns will be the long one and so will Triple H vs. Seth Rollins.
Hope it's a good Wrestlemania 'cause honestly, I'm not so thrilled with this card. Only looking forward to like three or four matches this year.
Vince McmahonWrestlemania 33
What the Wrestlemania 33 card is looking like so far and what the rest of it will look like…
So far the confirmed matches for Wrestlemania 33:
Bray Wyatt (c) vs. AJ Styles or Randy Orton Singles match for the WWE Championship[74]
Goldberg (c) vs. Brock Lesnar (with Paul Heyman) Singles match for the WWE Universal Championship[75]
Chris Jericho (c) vs. Kevin Owens Singles match for the WWE United States Championship[76]
Bayley (c) vs. Charlotte Flair vs. Sasha Banks Triple threat match for the WWE Raw Women's Championship[77]
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson (c) vs. Enzo Amore and Big Cass or Cesaro and Sheamus
Here's what I think the rest of the WM-33 card is gonna look like, these are unconfirmed matches but probably will be confirmed soon:
Triple H vs. Seth Rollins
Undertaker vs. Roman Reigns
Big Show vs. Shaquille O' Neal
Shane McMahon vs. Aj Styles
Those are the matches that I know will for sure happen. It's looking like a pretty good Wrestlemania so far. A lot of new guys this year but there's only a few legends wrestling in matches this year like Goldberg, Triple H and Undertaker.
I've been watching RAW every Monday night and yes I did watch the WWE ppv "Fastlane" last Sunday night which was pretty good.
I'll be watching this year's Wrestlemania for sure as I watch Wrestlemania every year. The next Wrestlemania is just a few weeks away. I like this new generation of WWE with all new superstars. I like a lot of them too. So far out of the new superstars that I like the most lately are: Roman Reigns, AJ Styles and I'm already liking Samoa Joe even though he's pretty new. I'm liking the new direction WWE is heading. Good stuff. This year's Wrestlemania is gonna be exciting, I think.

Brooks: Pronger deal cleared by NHL
According to Larry Brooks of the NY Post, the NHL has issued an ultimatum of sorts to the NHLPA, demanding compliance with a new set of rules concerning high-end, salary cap circumventing contracts or else face the editing of current rule-bending contracts.
Either way, it looks like Chris Pronger's deal with the Flyers is safe.
After specifically calling out the contracts of Roberto Luongo, Marian Hossa, Ilya Kovalchuk and possibly Mark Savard, it was mentioned that Pronger's deal will be passed on by the league.
Tagged as Chris Pronger, Ilya Kovalchuk, Marian Hossa, Mark Savard, NHLPA, philadelphia flyers, Roberto Luongo
Kovalchuk ruling could put Pronger extension in jeopardy
On Monday, arbitrator Richard Bloch made the ground-breaking ruling to uphold the NHL's right to abolish Ilya Kovalchuk's 17-year, $102 million deal with the New Jersey Devils, based on the grounds that the deal was created to circumvent the salary cap.
But as the official news spread, general managers around the league began to tremble, because this ruling didn't just set a precedent for future deals — it could even change the past. For not only did Bloch tear apart the Kovalchuk deal, he mentioned, by name, the deals for Vancouver's Roberto Luongo, Boston's Marc Savard, Chicago's Marian Hossa and Philly's Chris Pronger, as example of infraction.
Bloch wrote …
"While the contracts have, in fact, been registered, their structure has not escaped League notice: those SPCs [standard player's contracts] are being investigated currently with at least the possibility of a subsequent withdrawal of the registration."

Sporting News: Pronger deal under league investigation
One day after news broke that the NHL was looking into the 12-year deal that brought Marian Hossa to Chicago, a league insider told The Sporting News that the NHL has turned its omnipotent head toward Chris Pronger's seven-year deal with the Philadelphia Flyers.

Traditionally, literary beasts of the colonial era tended to reflect visions of an exoticised other, feared or desired. They provided texts with aesthetic but passive images, tropes of human desire, but were rarely displayed as creatures considered as themselves. Leconte de Lisle's poems, for example, abound with creatures that evoke nostalgia for civilisations gone-by; attraction to far away countries; and a yearning to escape from modernity and the day-to-day realities of western societies.

Posted November 26, 2014 by La Lune Collection & filed under Rustic Beds, Rustic Bunk Beds, Rustic Furniture.
Since 1978, La Lune Collection has been making fabulous beds for some of the most notable humans in the country, such as Ralph Lauren, Oprah, and Disney.

When two dog friends want to rest together, Dog Bunk Bed #5134 is the natural choice to accommodate their wishes!

I'm only slightly freaked out that there is only a month until Christmas, especially as my making is ever so massively running behind and I still have LOADS to do. Thank goodness I don't have a crazily busy few weeks ahead of me* and can just sit back and relax.
But never mind, because it's almost time to get thinking about Share Advent, the wonderful idea thought up by Anna of Skin and Blister Blog. What could be better than taking part in some festive activities all the way to the big day?
How great does this list look? I can't wait to get all festive with this list.
*massive lies. I'm not freaking out about the busy-ness of the next few weeks at all! Honest.
I LOVE share advent. I really hope I can do it next year as this is the SECOND year I have missed out!
Missed out? Why? I think anyone can join in. But if you are moving you might not have time to i guess.
Not at all, although you might be better linking back to Anna's posts.
It is - join in!
Oh, there is NO WAY i'll be blogging it all. that would push me over the edge ;) I might not even instagram the days I do do wither, but i'll be there in Christmas spirit!

Back in March we had the incredible opportunity to tour Japan for 6 days and the country made a lasting impression on all of us. Never have we been so welcomed into another community or treated so hospitably. From the start, we all were blown away by the beautiful sights and culture of Japan--some of the highlights were seeing the Toyko fish market, riding on the Bullet Train to Sendai, and walking the Philosopher's Path in Kyoto with the Cherry Blossoms in full bloom. But even more so, we were overwhelmed to witness firsthand the amazing bluegrass history and community in Japan. It was inspiring to see audience members mouthing the words to old Stanley Brothers tunes that we played at our performances, or to listen to eyewitness stories of bluegrass legends coming to tour Japan in years past, and especially to hear the incredible caliber of local bluegrass musicians around the country. It felt like they all knew more about bluegrass than we did!
We can't thank Toshiaki Shimada enough for making this tour happen. He was delightful to work with, and we couldn't have dreamed of doing this without his vision and generous support. Also, we are so grateful for the tireless efforts of Takumi Kodera, Fumitaka Kato, and Tomoya Kawakatsu for traveling with us and making sure every detail was taken care of. We felt like we were in such good hands for the entire tour! And thanks to all of the wonderful people who came to our performances, drove us to gigs, and jammed with us after shows. It feels great knowing that we have such lovely friends on the other side of the world now. Needless to say, we are all anxious to come back. Some of us have even started to learn Japanese in anticipation of our next visit!

Notebook: Greenlief's balancing act; Cup season & more
by Julie Williams of AmateurGolf.com
see also: U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur Championship, Forest Highlands Golf Club
Lauren Greenlief (left) with Four-Ball partner Katie Miller (VSGA/Facebook photo)
Lauren Greenlief plays golf for herself. It may seem like a simple statement, but it's a world of difference from college golf and professional golf to amateur golf.
"There's less pressure and the game becomes more fun," said Greenlief, who, at 28, has a firm grasp on how to juggle this game with a full-time job as a management consultant at the Boston Consulting Group.
At the heart of Greenlief's success – and there has been plenty this summer – is a sheer love for competitive golf. She calls that realization "the big unlock" for her in terms of prioritizing commitments and opening the door for as many tournaments as possible. As a college golfer at the University of Virginia, Greenlief always planned to establish herself in her career so that with a firm footing, she could go back to golf.
Now is that time.
"I realized that I love playing the game and I wanted to find a way to do it," Greenlief said simply.
Every two years, Greenlief tries to recommit time to her game, whatever that may mean at the time. Earlier this summer, Greenlief moved to an internal role at BCG. With no client meetings, Greenlief went from traveling four days a week to being at home in Ashburn, Va.
"I could work around my hours and practice five or six days a week," she said.
The fruits of her practice are noticeable. In July, Greenlief defended her Virginia Women's Amateur title. She advanced to the quarterfinals at the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur and perhaps most notably, also advanced to the quarterfinals at the U.S. Women's Amateur. It was the first time in six tries that Greenlief had made it to match play at the event. And then she kept winning.
Most recently, Greenlief competed in the Virginia Men's Mid-Amateur, made the cut and finished T-23 at Winchester Country Club. There is no Women's Mid-Amateur in Virginia, so for Greenlief, it was an obvious decision to play in the men's event. Fellow competitors welcomed her, and she fit right in.
"It's one of the hardest 6,400-yard golf courses you'll play in Virginia," she said of the venue.
Greenlief did a similar drill in 2015, only that year she dropped her workload from her usual 100 percent capacity to 50 percent. That was the year she won the U.S. Women's Mid-Amateur, and became the youngest player to do it.
Winning a national title put Greenlief on her coworkers' radar. Golf wasn't just a hobby, it was a serious commitment outside of work. After the Women's Mid-Am, Greenlief recommitted to her job once again, found a way to balance work with the game, and has been able to comfortably juggle six to eight tournaments each season. She's still looking at options for 2019 that might free up the summer months to play the elite women's amateur events.
Greenlief was ranked No. 1,288 in the World Amateur Golf Ranking when she made her Women's Amateur run this summer, which shows that ranking is not everything. It can be tough to hold a good position if you compete relatively infrequently.
"I didn't really feel like I played like the 1288 player in the world," she said, "going head to head with some of the top college players and top juniors and playing against them in match play and proving to myself that I am good enough to compete and win in this environment regardless of my world rank."
Greenlief, whose brain is built for numbers, is already looking ahead to what a better ranking might set up for 2019. She has climbed to the No. 427 position.
Greenlief's goals for her game are big, but doors are opening all the time – especially as she establishes herself as one of the nation's top female mid-amateurs. A 2020 Curtis Cup bid is in her sights, and the Augusta National Women's Amateur caught her attention immediately.
Expect Greenlief to continue creating her own opportunities.
OUR CUPS RUNNETH OVER: As the competitive amateur season winds down, for many associations, that means it's bragging-rights season. Over the past week, several associations have sparred against each other in season-ending matches. The highlights:
Tri-State Matches: Connecticut broke Massachusett's 14-year winning streak in the two-day event that dates to the early 1900s and features the top players from Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
Hudson Cup: These matches between the top amateurs and professionals in the Pacific Northwester are conducted by the Pacific Northwest Section of the PGA of America in cooperation with the Oregon and Washington State Golf Associations. Remarkably, this year's matches ended in a draw. The Pacific Northwest PGA (PNWPGA) professionals retained the cup considering they won the event in 2017.
Hanna-Wehrman Cup: NCGA amateurs found themselves on top, as usual, after defeating NCPGA professionals. The pros won last year, but it was the first time in 10 years that the amateurs had lost the cup.
Staedler-Jetter Cup: The senior version of the Hanna-Wehrman. The NCGA won this one, too, but much more handily. The NCGA rolled to a 20.5-7.5 victory after winning blitzing the NCPGA seniors on the first day, 13-1.
Captain's Putter: Top North Carolina and South Carolina players joined forces to take down players from Virginia and West Virginia – and on Virginia soil, no less. The win was the third straight for the visiting team in the annual series.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: ON GIVING BACK
"I think my motivation has been, golf was there for me when I needed it the most in my life. This is where I've done my volunteer work. I just love the game, I think it's the greatest game. It can be enjoyed by so many."
-Frank Ford, on giving back to the game (click here to read Ford's story after winning his first super-senior title last week)
TWEET OF THE WEEK: ON AMATEUR STATUS
Many players apply to have their amateur status reinstated every year. Here's how the process works. pic.twitter.com/jwoOCMgml0
— USGA (@USGA) October 18, 2018
Q&A WITH…Gail Rogers, vice president of the Northern California Golf Association, who captained the NCGA teams at last week's Hanna-Wehrman and Staedler-Jetters cups. Rogers is a longtime rules official who has garnered tremendous respect in her work with the NCGA, Women's Golf Association of Northern California and the USGA. Rogers' legacy in the game has been about knowledge of the rules and giving her time to help run various amateur events.
1. The NCGA team defeated the NCPGA team in both cups last week. What was the highlight of the matches for you?
What was fun for me was the senior players, some of the gentleman who have played golf against each other since they were junior players. There's a really long history there which is just wonderful. They're all friends but they love beating each other.
Gail Rogers with the winning NCGA team
2. What does it say about these two groups of amateurs who were able to beat the NCPGA teams in both events?
When you look at the swings of all of them, anybody could have won. It comes down to making a few putts or getting a lucky bounce. Sometimes it comes down to the first part of it, it's a modified Chapman so they each hit a drive then they switch, then they pick and play alternate shot in from that point. That's a hard format, sometimes you're paired with the right person, your personalities click, and sometimes you have a round where your upper body and lower body aren't really being friends. I think golf is in a very good state, whether it's for the pros or the amateurs.
3. You'll be the next NCGA President. You have done a lot of service to the game through the NCGA, being on the USGA Women's Committee, being a rules official. You see the game from a lot of angles and have given a lot back. Why has that been important to you?
I'm not sure how it all got started, but it was intriguing to learn the Rules of Golf when I discovered the decisions book and being able to volunteer and help people with rules. It was academically interesting to me. I was more of a book worm than an athlete, so that's maybe what got me started. I really loved the players and being out there with them. I think I'm a really good cheerleader. I always approach the rules as they're there, but they're really there to help us.
4. As you get ready to take over the NCGA presidency, what is the biggest issue facing the organization – something coming down the pipe or at least a priority?
Well, the USGA made a policy a couple of years ago, they changed their associations that issue handicaps. So we have allied golf associations now, so that means that we needed to work with the two women's golf associations and try to come up with one grouping of all of us that will work well for everybody. So that's our big challenge this next year as we combine the Pacific Women's Golf Association and the Women's Golf Association of Northern California under the umbrella of the NCGA. I think we're in a good spot to do that. We all listen to each other and everybody has had plenty of time for comment and input and thoughtfulness and so I think the best thing that's happening is probably for the players, that they really won't notice much of a difference in what's happening. Then the other aspect is that we're really looking at a group that's really been underserved. Our working women, there hasn't been a huge number of opportunities for them to play competitively on the weekends. Starting in 2020, when we're merged, hopefully this will be one of the things that we can do for the mid-amateur women who are working, who have left college and have jobs now and can only play on a Saturday or a Sunday.
5. What's the best golf course in Northern California and why?
I'm sitting at Pasatiempo right now, which is my course. How could it be any better than this one? We have done a lot of great things, so why? First of all, it was established by a woman, so that makes me feel really good about it. Marion Hollins was very much ahead of her time in terms of what she did for women's golf and golf in general. She was the first captain of the Curtis Cup and she was also on the first women's committee for the USGA. She did a lot of things – she helped figure out where the famous 16th hole should be at Cyprus Point when she dropped a ball in the weeds and hit it to where the green is now, over the water. She was a U.S. Amateur player. I have a lot to be proud of to be a part of this legacy at Pasatiempo, and I was on the board here and we worked on – and finally I got, after I left – recycled water for our golf course. That's been a huge accomplishment for our course in taking care of the environment. We have a wonderful superintendent for that, we have an Audubon Society program here so besides just a championship course, it's never boring. Every day is different. I couldn't find a better place to be than this one.

Katniss leaves District 13 with Gale and Finnick and sets out to assassinate President Snow and liberate the nation from his tyrannical rule. The team has to navigate around traps set up by the Capitol's gamemakers, making the journey another Hunger Games, just outside the arena. On top of saving the world, Katniss also has to rekindle her relationship with the brain-washed Peeta, and maintain a friendship with the jealous Gale.
The film was a huge box office success, making $101 million in its first weekend. This marks the first ever film franchise with four $100m+ debut weekends.

Working with older people including those living with dementia, we have seen first hand how our original poems trigger reminiscence and encourage conversation. Our nostalgic poetry engages people through rhyme, rhythm, metaphor and alliteration.
We have published three books of our original poetry for sharing with older people. Each poem draws on reminiscence themes from the post-war period. Alongside the poems there are ideas to encourage conversation and activities to engage and stimulate.
The books have been tried and tested in care and nursing homes. Our books are an excellent resource for professionals; Activity Co-ordinators of residential and nursing homes, carers and club organisers. They are also ideal for relatives and friends to share with older people.
Save hundreds of hours of preparation time with our original poetry books.

Encyclopedia > Jacobin
Jacobinism
Redirected from Jacobin
In the context of the French Revolution, a Jacobin originally meant a member of the Jacobin Club (1789 - 1794). But even while the Club still existed, the name of �Jacobins� had been popularly applied to all promulgators of extreme revolutionary opinions. In this sense the word passed beyond the borders of France and long survived the Revolution. Canning�s paper, The Anti-Jacobin, directed against the English Radicals, consecrated its use in England; and in the correspondence of Metternich and other leaders of the repressive policy which followed the second fall of Napoleon in 1815, "Jacobin" is the term commonly applied to anyone with Liberal tendencies, even to so august a personage as the emperor Alexander I of Russia.
The English who supported the French Revolution during its early stages (or even throughout), were early known as Jacobins. These included the young Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and others prior to their disillusionment at the outbreak of the Terror. Others, such as William Hazlitt and Tom Paine remained idealistic about the Revolution.
Do not confuse Jacobinism with Jacobitism (note the "t").

Q: Most PowerApps users getting error "you don't have permission to view this data" I am a beginner in powerapps. I am trying to create app which can be used by employees of my organization and all are having Office 365 accounts. I have shared app with all user but only 3 users (including myself) are able to work on apps and other users are getting below error on first screen of my app.
Error occurred when user open app:
you don't have permission to view this data. server response : The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme "Anonymous".The authentication header received from server was 'browser error in powerApps
A: I had this problem trying to access MS Outlook and MS Teams. The error is extremely misleading. The problem was NOT that some administrator had disabled access in certain situations. The problem was resolved by going to the windows "Credential Manager" and deleting all the old credentials, forcing the MS apps to log you in again, and that then allows me to access those systems.
No idea if this is your situation or not, but anyone receiving this error should first try deleting all the old credentials for that service.
A: This typically means that your users do not have access to a Data Source used by the PowerApp.
When you click File/Share and enter a person/groups name, you will see on the right hand side something to the effect of:
Here are all the data sources your users will need permission to.
Heed this. Otherwise issues like this will ensue.
A: Whenever I encounter this problem, I just go to the SharePoint site, explore the site permissions from the setting, and add the user to the pre-created SharePoint site members group.

Q: How join annotate value of QuerySet and property field of Model to one logic in Django? I have this situation. I calculate a diameter in two ways: annotate of QuerySet and property in Model.
class CircleQuerySet(models.QuerySet):
def annotate_diameter(self):
return self.annotate(diameter=models.F('radius')*2)
class Circle(models.Model):
radius = models.DecimalField(max_digits=11, decimal_places=2)
objects = CircleQuerySet.as_manager()
@property
def diameter(self):
return self.radius * 2
How can I join this two ways to one? Is it exists?
A: You can add a setter for the diameter property so that you do not get errors when trying to add an annotation of the same name
@property
def diameter(self):
return self.radius * 2
@diameter.setter
def diameter(self, value):
return
As for only having the calculation in one place, it is not possible because the annotation is a database instruction and you still need the property for objects that are not retrieved from the database. You could add the annotation to every query by overriding the get_queryset method of the manager so that even .get() will return an object with the annotation.

Skirted Lounger is rated 2.7 out of 5 by 3.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diane from Nice look! Received our lounger today and Love it! Just what I was looking for our coastal bedroom!
Rated 1 out of 5 by Judy from Disappointed. Allergic. Can't use. It did not say 'foam' anywhere in description. But the cushions ARE made of FOAM. And the upholstery is scratchy. I am allergic to the fumes from the foam. But it's too big to return. I don't know what to do. Guess I'll have to pay someone to pick it up and donate it somewhere.
Rated 2 out of 5 by CMM from Disappointed Quality is what you would expect being made in China. Smaller than what I thought. Package arrived with box having several tears from carrier abuse. Dirty spot on lounger. Cleaned with spot remover and material started pilling up. Lounger is not comfortable.......hard cushion. Will not buy furniture online again. I regret this purchase.
What color is this piece?

Gingy's Corner
Wander No More/Written in the Sky
By Gingy Gibson • January 31st, 2020
This week, let's talk about two visual novels and a few problems inherent to writing short VNs.
Wander No More follows the story of Kouichirou the "samurai" after he leaves a group of bandits called the Kodokushi (that's what they are, even if he won't outright acknowledge this) in a pseudo-feudal Japan setting. His departure from the bandits results in a village he passes through being burned to the ground, killing almost every resident therein. He stumbles across a girl named Chiyo and, driven at least in part by guilt, takes her in under his wing, ostensibly as his daughter (even though he's only about 10 years her senior).
I really loved Wander No More for the majority of its run. There's no greater goal motivating Chiyo and Kouichirou than a simple desire to rebuild the village to a functional level and survive, a daunting challenge in no small part due to their limited survival skills. Neither of them know a thing about weaving or carpentry, for example, which makes repairing the houses or making new fabric an uphill battle. Even when they begin to take in outsiders nothing gets easier, since half the refugees are elderly or children with limited skills and abilities to offer in rebuilding Hotsu village. In this environment, you can appreciate their measured optimism in the face of a decidedly disadvantageous situation, particularly Chiyo's attempts to gather food and happily watch over the younger children when she's down two parents and one hand.
All of the characters grow on you as the story progresses, whether it's Chiyo, the local boys who idolize Kouichirou, the elderly woman trying to help Chiyo reconstruct and then work the loom, or Kouichirou himself. You get to watch the village heal, to see Kouichirou become increasingly worried about their settlement drawing unwanted attention from the Kodokushi (especially when one of their scouts stumbles in), and witness how interpersonal conflict between just a few members of the community can have a lasting, rippling effect throughout the whole village. Everything about Wander No More is well-paced and well-written, with bouts of melancholy or suspense perfectly broken up by tiny moments of humor. It's beautiful and heartwarming.
And then it all goes up in smoke.
We'll come back to this in a moment, but first I need to talk about the other visual novel I read this week, Written in the Sky. Written could probably best be classified as a sci-fi romance, following the story of the teenager girl Azure over the course of three days. Azure is a loner who hates school, has (at best) a lukewarm relationship with her father, and seems to lack so much as a hobby to pass the time. One day she accidentally stumbles into a warehouse and discovers a magic ring, which makes her the king of Mars (provided she marries the Martian queen, who obviously looks like a well-endowed teenager and can't quite figure out how planet Earth or its language works). The pair of them marry after knowing each other for less than two days, have a skeevy sex scene (by which I mean Azure has the whole "looks 12 BuT Is AcTuAlLy 18" thing going on, thank god the VN lets you shut off the adult content) and then Azure goes to Mars. That's it. That's the whole story.
Here's where I'm going with all this. I read a lot of visual novels that never end up being reviewed on Unwinnable, or even brought up in causal conversation with friends. Most of the time it's because they were so short that I left the experience with nothing meaningful to say about them, since the VNs failed to leave any kind of lasting positive or negative impression on me. Both Wander No More and Written in the Sky clocked in at ~30 minutes to read each (not much time in a genre known for 60-80 hour behemoths) and were both kinetic VNs (greatly diminishing their replayability among VNs, unless you're particularly wowed by the story). Typically with visual novels that short, I'll wait until I have a pair that share similar themes and put them in a review together, because I simply can't drum up enough to say about only one.
It's unfortunate that longer visual novels can garner more attention just by having more content, even if they are objectively worse in all aspects. Two of my favorite VNs, Perceptions of the Dead 1 and Juniper's Knot, both require less than an hour to read, and I struggled to find enough to say about either of them to merit a review (incidentally, go check them out, they're fantastic examples of good storytelling in this genre and had beautiful art and music besides). On the other hand, Notch – The Innocent LunA: Eclipsed SinnerS was a VN so wretched I still go back to it as an example of all the failings this genre could possibly stuff into one written work, and that ended up being one of the longest reviews I've ever written. I want to bring attention to the darling little stories you can find buried among longer VNs, but it's so very easy for them to be shut out or "eclipsed" by other titles, which are perhaps less worthy of your attention but leave more of a lasting impression directly because of your length of exposure, much like tuberculosis. In the world of VNs, more words means more content to critique, and unfortunately lengthy, subpar VNs will typically get more attention than the best short VNs, which themselves are a rarity.
That's another big issue I've found after years on the lemmasoft forums or browsing visual novels on itch.io. There's nothing wrong with starting small and working your way up to bigger pieces in writing, but most visual novels with a sub-60 minute read time aren't exactly the Flowers for Algernon or The Most Dangerous Game of this genre. Often I'll encounter a story where character backgrounds or details of this specific universe are hinted at in a few brief lines, but never expounded upon in any meaningful fashion. Written in the Sky, for example, has a throwaway line about Azure's mother being shot by someone with a grudge against her detective father, which is never brought up again in the story, likely because it has no bearing on Azure's personality or personal choices. In another example, Written ends with Azure observing a giant gundam that she'll be expected to pilot in the war against Mars, but we never get more insight or details than that bare bones information.
Visual novels like Written in the Sky don't feel like half-hour stories, but rather half-hour snippets forcibly carved out of adventures which could only have been properly conveyed over a few hours. Perhaps the author felt they couldn't delve into the details any deeper, or perhaps they lacked the skill or patience to create something longer or more nuanced than the bits and pieces of plot thrown our way in the actual finished project. Whatever the case, the result is a lackluster VN which unfortunately merely offers the unrealized promise of being something better. Throwaway lines or blink-and-you-miss-it details do not count as meaningful world-building, and oftentimes would have been better left on the editing room floor so more energy could be spared for tightening up other facets of the story. Written in the Sky especially felt like something that might have been an enjoyable ride if more work was devoted to flushing out Azure and Queen Sienna's relationship on Earth, or giving Azure more of a personality than "I'm bored with life," maybe even showing Azure trying to adjust to life on Mars. But there's so little here, it almost feels like the what-ifs eclipse the story we were actually given.
It's as though writers sometimes forget that when you set out to make a short story, it's not about telling as much as you possibly can in a limited period of time, but using that time to espouse the pertinent details as best you can and leave your audience satisfied with the work. Much as you might like to, oftentimes it's not in your best interest to hint at all the subtle nuances of your fictional world if you don't want to take a few more hours to properly flush them out. You don't have to pack the story with characters who ultimately don't merit even two minutes of screen time, or bury the audience under exposition that will never be brought up again or contribute to the narrative in any clear, discernibly meaningful way way. It just leaves the reader disappointed, not unlike what one feels after watching a movie adaptation of a book series which really would have been better told over the course of a longer TV run.
Wander No More, on the other hand, manages to operate within a tight framework and satisfy the reader from start to finish. Originally, I hated the ending for Wander No More; it felt almost cheap to have the mood shift so abruptly from happy village to everything is destroyed, and the few lines of dialogue meant to deliver a twist about Kouichirou had little impact given that the twist had been hinted at earlier. But looking back on it now, I can see that a darker turn was pretty strongly foreshadowed even from the start, and the ambiguous ending sits a little better with me now. On a second read everything flows together quite well, and truly feels like a properly crafted short story.
Wander No More keeps itself limited to a very small geographic area. Any personal details revealed about the character always tie in to some important aspect of the overarching narrative, and we only delve into in-universe lore when it's specifically relevant to the plot. Our cast is small and tight-knit; we're given just enough details about each of them to understand who they are as people without becoming smothered in unnecessary, shoehorned-in backstory. Because of choices like these, Wander No More can focus on flushing out its limited cast and simple narrative in a way that's actually satisfying to the reader. Unlike Written in the Sky, Wander No More seems to understand that there's only so much you can do with a story bound by a 30-minute time limit, and manages to flourish within those limits.
The visual novel genre needs shorter stories; you cannot honestly expect someone to jump into a completely new gameplay/reading experience like this if the best you can offer is a 6-hour endeavor (which, it's fair to point out, may only pick up after the first hour of reading has come and gone). And that's not even taking into consideration that even the most seasoned veterans of VNs don't always want to read epic-length novels. Sometimes, all you want is a quick little read that you can both start and finish while on a commute or sitting in the waiting room in your doctor's office. But having short VNs with questionable plotlines, incomprehensible plot twists, flat-as-cardboard characters and unsatisfying resolutions certainly isn't enough to entice anyone to stay and try the more demanding stories like the Fate series or Hashihime of the Old Book Town, or perhaps give a chance to newer writers who are only beginning to experiment with the VN genre and smaller projects. Writers have to work within their limits; it's absolutely possible to make a mind-blowing story which takes less than an hour to read, but only with proper editing and a good sense of what elements matter, versus what ought to be trimmed away. Clearly, that's easier said than done.
Written in the Sky and Wander No More are both available on Steam and itch.io I'd strongly recommend reading Wander No More as a good example of what VNs can do in just half an hour.

This storm damaged home in Prospect, Connecticut needed repairs pronto to prepare for the harsh Connecticut weather. In came Weathertite, we worked hand-in-hand with this client's insurance to provide a well-protected home to withstand temperatures far better than it had before. Weathertite provided a new roofing system, new gutters, and protection. The choice of the Desert Tan shingles really allowed the homeowner to give her the original look she had before, without the possibility of storm damage. The customers were extremely pleased with the turn-out and felt content and safe with the new installations.
This home's roofing was damaged by weather. The homeowners contacted Weathertite to get their new roof and make their home feel like a home again. The crew worked a quote out with the family and we came to a number the homeowners that worked for them. They chose Harbor Blue for their new shingles. A good choice too!
I'm looking to get a quote for fixing me deck.
Gutter Cleaning and Minor Repairs Moved into home this past year in Prospect, 1 story Ranch, about 1800 sqft with attached 2 car garage, Hipped Roof, with 5-6 downspouts around home. House has some gutter slope issues and water does not drain properly in some sections. I cleaned a majority, but I think we could use a proper gutter cleaning and some minor repairs to fix gutter slope in some areas from a professional service.
Pricing and evaluating types of roof replacement for 24 yo home.
I have a leak around the chimney. Water runs down the chimney into the basement when it rains.
We have a leak coming into our laundry room when there are severe ice dams. We have had the roofing fixed in that area, but with a large ice dam, it leaked again. There is a crack in the vinyl siding where there may be entry. It is an area of the roof that traps leaves easily and we get rather large ice dams.
Roof Replacement or repair. Leaking in two spots.
Everyone from Day 1 were very professional.
This is the only Company I trust in !
The house never looked better!
Outstanding company who does outstanding work!
We are glad that we called Weathertite Systems LLC.
This is the only company I trust in all its employees.

Edgar, our project manager, answered all of my questions and was very polite and professional.

Great service from start to finish. Outstanding customer service. Thanks for a job very well done!
Walter and his helper were excellent!
The quality of the installation was great. Pablo was a pleasure to work with. Tito, the sales manager was super helpful in our purchase!
Having work done on your home is stressful at best. In today's climate you never know what your going to get. My House is over a hundred years old and had about five courses of roofing material put on over the years. I did my vetting of contractors through homeAdvisor then got quotes for the job from six different roofers. I gave the quotes to a knowledgeable friend in the contracting business and he advised me to go with Weathertite . I asked him why he liked Weathertite systems. And I was informed that they used the best materials and had all the insurance and a very skilled work force. I met with Weathertite's sales man Dave and we worked out A plan I could afford.
We set a date and on that day at the crack of dawn Joe and Edger From Weathertite were at my door. They introduced me to there very well mannered grew chef Edwin. Five minutes later the work began. It was truly amazing watching this crew. They were so efficient and skilled it was almost like watching a new form of art. Within 20 minutes the house was stripped to the bone. As the crew worked non stop putting the new roof on. There chimney man Ed showed up. He had to rebuild the chimney from the attic . Ed had his work cut out for him because my chimney was a mess. I was lucky because Ed is a very skilled mason and some how he managed to build me a beautiful chimney. The roofing crew was very polight and totally self sufficient. They never asked me for anything and in two days I had a beautiful roof complete with new cutters on my Home. But my kitchen roof had a few problems after they had finished. I informed Joe and Edger of this and they came right over and did a detailed inspection. They decided to do that part of the job completely from scratch with a new approach. Most companies would have made me live with it. But not Weathertite. Unlike many companies they took great pride in there work . And I was very grateful that I chose them to do my roof. I would recommend them to anybody . And I would like to thank all the staff at Weathertite systems for a stress free painless job done right.
Thanks guys you made it easy.

Donald Trump, USA
Kavanaugh confirmation hearing: Here's what Christine Blasey Ford said and how everyone responded
Blasey's
By Prarthana Mitra
Under historic, dramatic and extraordinary circumstances, professor Christine Blasey Ford and Brett Kavanaugh testified before the US Senate Judiciary Committee to address Ford's sexual assault allegation against the US Supreme Court nominee. Ford, a college psychology professor, has alleged that Kavanaugh attacked her during a party in the 1980s when they were high school students. Notably, two other women have also accused the judge of assault. Despite the allegations and calls for his nomination process to be halted until an investigation is conducted, the Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11-10 to forward Kavanaugh's nomination to the Senate – but on the condition of an FBI investigation into the sexual misconduct allegations.
As a result, a full Senate vote on Judge Kavanaugh's confirmation has been postponed by a week.
What is Kavanaugh accused of?
According to Ford, in the summer of 1982, a drunk teenaged Kavanaugh ambushed her at a house party, pinned her to a bed groping and trying to disrobe her, placing his hand over her mouth to silence her and keep her from screaming. Mark Judge, Kavanaugh's friend and classmate from Georgetown Preparatory School, was allegedly present in the room at the time and amused by the incident, until he collapsed on top of the two, enabling Ford to escape.
Judge's memoir records that they were heavy drinkers at the time, although Kavanaugh has categorically denied this. Ford first came detailed the alleged assault to Democrat Diane Feinstein and later in an interview with The Washington Post.
Prior to this, she had discussed the alleged assault with her therapist in 2012 and her partner when they met in 2002, long before Kavanaugh was in the running for Supreme Court judgeship.
In addition to Ford's accusations, Kavanaugh is also accused of assaulting Deborah Ramirez while in college. Ramirez claims that he exposed himself to her and pushed his genitals in her face at a party when they were both studying at Yale University in the 1980s.
A third woman, Julie Swetnick, has also come forward to claim that Kavanaugh attended parties where women were drugged, assaulted and raped. Swetnick says she was raped at one of these parties where Kavanaugh and Judge were present, although she did not accuse the former of her rape.
Kavanaugh has denied the allegations.
What Ford said at the hearing
On Thursday, after a long campaign that saw her derided (importantly by US President Donald Trump and his family) and supported in equal measure (giving rise to the #WhyIDidn'tReport movement), Ford was invited to testify before the committee. She asserted that although it was tough for her to speak, it was her civic duty that had driven her to take the stand.
"I believed he was going to rape me," she said of the alleged assault, delivering a powerful testimony before answering their questions with logic and composure.
Sen. Patrick Leahy: What is the "strongest memory" of the incident?

— ABC News Politics (@ABCPolitics) September 27, 2018
"Indelible in the hippocampus is the laughter — the uproarious laughter between the two, and their having fun at my expense," she said. Ford responded to all the questions put forward by Rachel Mitchell, a veteran prosecutor appointed by the Republicans, concerning the grizzly details and the vile epithets hurled at her since she came forward.
She also addressed concerns regarding her political motives. "I have been accused of acting out of partisan political motives," she said. "Those who say that do not know me. I am a fiercely independent person, and I am no one's pawn. My motivation in coming forward was to provide the facts about how Mr. Kavanaugh's actions have damaged my life, so that you can take that into serious consideration as you make your decision about how to proceed."
What Kavanaugh said
Kavanaugh vehemently denied the charges and gave non-committal answers to the questions posed to him. This comes after he expressed having regrets about his choices in high school.
In his opening statement, he spoke about his childhood, family, school life and his illustrious career, which he maintained was clean. He broke down speaking of his daughters who he said had prayed for Ford night before, and asserted his innocence based on a calendar he maintained during his teenage years.
Kavanaugh could also not refrain from lashing out at the Democrats, saying, "This confirmation process has become a national disgrace."
"The Constitution gives the Senate an important role in the confirmation process, but you have replaced 'advice and consent' with 'search and destroy,'" he continued. Some were unnerved by his lack of humility, especially when he said, "You may defeat me in the final vote, but you will never get me to quit. Never."
While Ford has passed a polygraph test on the alleged assault and has asked for an independent FBI probe into the facts, Kavanaugh has categorically refused both (despite saying he favours due process), even claiming that he was not present at the party where Ford claims the assault occurred. In fact, Kavanaugh even declared before the Senate that hers was a case of mistaken identity even as she testified that her memory serves her right, citing clinical reasons for why she was absolutely right about it.
Thousands came out in support of Ford during the testimony, with many gathered across the country, including outside the Senate and near the schools Ford and Kavanaugh attended.
Democrat Kamala Harris acknowledged Ford's courage and thanked her for her patriotism and for testifying against a powerful man when she had nothing to gain from it.
Republican Senator Lindsey Graham echoed Kavanaugh's thoughts on the confirmation process when he addressed his opponents across the dais, saying, "What you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold this seat open and hope you win in 2020," he said. He told his Republican colleagues, "If you vote no, you're legitimising the most despicable thing I have seen in my time in politics."
The American Bar Association and the dean of the Yale Law School, which Kavenaugh attended, have called for an investigation the allegations.

— Yale Law School (@YaleLawSch) September 28, 2018
Meanwhile, soon after Kavanaugh's testimony, Trump tweeted that "Judge Kavanaugh showed America exactly why I nominated him" after the hearing adjourned, urging the Senate to vote immediately. He later acknowledged Ford's account as credible.
The testimonies were followed by a discussion where each senator put forward their takeaways from the nine hour-long session and voiced their decisions to vote for or against the nominee. When the senators reconvened, Republican senator Jeff Flake backed Kavanaugh but stood up against taking the final vote without an independent FBI investigation. The Democrats now need another defection to overturn this nomination (50 votes), unless the FBI finds concrete evidence during their "limited" inquiry and background check. Considering how important this nomination is for the Republicans, who desperately want a more conservative judiciary, Kavanaugh may have crossed his first hurdle but continues to be on trial.

Me and a Guy Named Elvis
My Lifelong Friendship with Elvis Presley
by Jerry Schilling and Chuck Crisafulli
Jerry Schilling
Chuck Crisafulli
Ona lazy Sunday in 1954, twelve-year old Jerry Schilling wandered into a Memphis touch football game, only to discover that his team was quarterbacked by a nineteen-year old Elvis Presley, the local teenage whose first record, "That's All Right," had just debuted on Memphis radio. The two became fast friends, even as Elvis turned into the world's biggest star. In 1964, Elvis invited Jerry to work for him as part of his "Memphis Mafia," and Jerry soon found himself living with Elvis full-time in a Bel Air mansion and, later in his own room at Graceland. Over the next thirteen years Jerry would work for Elvis in various capacities-from bodyguard to photo double to co-executive producer on a karate film. But more than anything else he was Elvis's close friend and confidant: Elvis trusted Jerry with protecting his life when he received death threats, he asked Jerry to drive him and Pricilla to the hospital the day Lisa Marie was born and to accompany him during the famous "lost weekend" when he traveled to meet President Nixon at the White House.
Me and a Guy Named Elvis looks at Presley from a friend's perspective, offering readers the man rather than the icon-including insights into the creative frustrations that lead to Elvis's abuse of prescription medicine and his tragic death. Jerry offers never-before-told stories about life inside Elvis's inner circle and an emotional recounting of the great times, hard times, and unique times he and Elvis shared. These vivid memories will be priceless to Elvis's millions of fans, and the compelling story will fascinate an even wider audience.

Let me start by saying that I am a supporter of Wikipedia, I contribute articles and information wherever I think I have sufficient knowledge. I also contribute annually a certain amount to Wikipedia donations. Having said that, it does hurt me sometimes when people rubbish you if you quote them something from wikipedia or you give them a wikipedia link in an attempt to prove your point. People who don't know how wikipedia works or have very little surface knowledge seem to disregard it with much ease. I read somewhere about an article that how teachers in most school discredit any wikipedia sources of research. Yes they dislike it because in many cases it contradicts their text books. In reality, Wikipedia is a mighty flattener of the world by providing free access and authoring capability of information to general public. Let me quote an example, have you heard of the famous saying, "History is written by conquerors"? Not anymore. With rising popularity of Wikipedia, every piece of historical article is being subjected to views from all directions. One such example would be the role of "Aryan Invasion Theory" in Indian history. For more than one century we have heard the Aryan Invasion theory and taken it as practical history, of course until now. Without going into the details, you will notice Wikipedia article on the subject seems to stay neutral by presenting both sides of the argument.
Now coming to the original intention of writing this article, I propose to write first an algorithm and then a practical implementation of the algorithm as a web service/site that other applications can use. Yes, everything will be open source and free. The purpose of the algorithm would be to present the reader with a version of the wikipedia page (or for that matter any wiki page) that the algorithm thinks is the most stable/reliable version. How the algorithm will work is a set of steps that I will be detailing next.
Check if the author has made edits to other pages, if yes, look at the activity interval. If there are rapid edits, the author could be spammer. If the edit made was very recent, mark it as "Recent Edits" and "Candidate for Removal".
This could just turn out to be the quick moderator you need while browsing the excellent and superb Wikipedia! And this doesnt just apply to wikipedia, it also applies to Technical wikis we use at work. There are many people writing and modifying wiki pages. If its a big organization, I bet there are many new joinees and interns who are not necessarily the most trusted people to edit wikis. However, the best use of it is on public wiki sites where trust worthiness of an article becomes a big question for few.

New Jets Uniforms Coming Spring 2019
Eric Allen
The Jets will have a brand new look in 2019. The franchise will unveil new uniforms next April and the Jets will wear their ensemble beginning in their 60th season of play.
Nailed it. #JetsNewUnis https://t.co/lyJUf2uE7c
— New York Jets (@nyjets) July 29, 2018
After starting as the Titans of New York and sporting a navy, gold and white combination from 1960-62, the team was renamed the Jets prior to the 1963 season and kelly green and white became synonymous with the upstarts from the American Football League. There have been three major uniform alterations since. The last one came prior to the 1998 campaign when Bill Parcells oversaw a color change from kelly green to hunter green and removed black as an accent color while paying homage to the Super Bowl III championship team with a modified version of the oval on the helmet that was used from 1965-77.
Suspense will build in the months prior to a highly anticipated reveal. As far as all the details, we'll have to wait until April. But change is on the horizon.
Note: There will be no changes to the current uniform for the upcoming season. The Jets will wear their "Color Rush" uniforms one time in 2018 as they'll be in all green when they host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 7.

My name is Andraž and I´m 21 years old.
I´ve just seen one of your presentations on youtube about glucosamine and I have one question. I´m training gymnastics and I was operated on my shoulder - the diagnosis was SLAP LAESIO or slap shoulder. So they fixed my sinew of long head of biceps brachii. I had this operation about 4 years ago. It is quite ok now, but I was thinking about taking glucosamine as a dietary supplement.
But I don´t know which product to choose. Should I take glucosamine in combination with higher amount of chondroitin or the one with higher MSM? Because I don´t know which component is better for ˝repairing˝ sinew (because it differs a little bit from cartilage). So, is it better to take (beside glucosamine of course) higher doses of chondroitin or MSM?
Andraz, while glucosamine will not directly benefit the particular joint injury you have suffered (You have damaged the joint capsule and tendons - not the cartilage joint surfaces) it will certainly do you no harm. This is because glucosamine and chondroitin do assist with maintaining healthy collagen of which your damaged tissues mainly consist of.
MSM will assist with restoring collagen to good health and has a healthy natural anti-inflammatory effect.
Probably the best combination for a young person in your situation is the Balance Joint Repair for Athletes. This covers all bases.
Add Active Elements 2.1 - 2-4 tablets per day to supply silica and calcium flouride which maintain strong and flexible collagen. Deficiency in these shows in the body as hard and inflexible tendons and ligaments, poor skin, hair and nails, including heels that crack.
Ensure your diet is rich in a wide range of unprocessed fats and oils. Each meal should have a little quality protein in it rather than all the protein being lumped into a single meal.
Combine this nutrition with a weekly sports massage of the shoulder girdle and regular stretching. Review progress in about three months and adjust therapies accordingly.

Tricks And Tips On How To Make The Most Out Of Your LandscapeDoes everyone in your neighborhood seem to know the intimate details of your yard? Are they discussing the fact that it's unsightly? If that is true for you, turn things around by sprucing up your yard. Keep reading to find some great yard tips.Make a sketch of your landscaping project ideas before you start digging. This drawing can help you figure out what the final result will look like and start listing what kind of materials you need. It is a lot easier to fix your sketch than it would be to adjust the yard.Clay soil makes working with a shovel difficult. The clay is hard and sticks to the shovel. Coat the shovel with floor or car wax, and buff it with a clean rag to make the job a lot easier. This will both make the clay fall off of the surface, and prevent the surface from rusting.
TIP! For a garden that thrives, choose the right type of soil. Depending on what type of plants you have, your soil may or may not be adapted.
Make your yard look beautiful all year by creating a garden that incorporates all seasons. Select different plants that flower in different seasons, paying attention to what will grow well in your area. You can also pick trees with nice foliage or evergreens which make your yard look alive all year long.People often forget about the many online options when shopping for landscaping materials or equipment. Shopping online is faster and more convenient, and also provides you access to unusual plants that may not be in stock at a local store.When fall arrives, it's time to plant your autumn vegetables. Try planting your fall veggies, especially leafy greens, inside of a pumpkin! Scoop the insides out of the pumpkin, and don't forget to spray the inside with Wilt-Pruf. This will prevent your pumpkin from rotting. After that, your pumpkin planter is ready to use!
TIP! You can use boiling water to get rid of weeds naturally. The safest herbicide that you can probably find is a cup of boiling water.
Take time to accurately measure the area you are landscaping prior to visiting your garden center. By having correct measurement it will be easier to determine the amount of plants you need. This will help you not buy too much or too little of your materials.As you begin your landscape design journey, think about getting some advice from a professional before you make any major decisions. Seasoned experts have the ability to offer useful, cost-effective ideas for your outdoor space. The $75 or so that you will spend on it can be worth every penny by helping you prevent costly mistakes.If you would love to have access to fresh and healthy mint leaves from your own back yard, but dread the way the plant spreads so quickly, worry not. Stunt their growth a little by planting your mint into a garden container or large pot instead. Then, you can plant the container into the ground. However, the container walls will keep the roots held, and prevent the plant from consuming too much of your garden space.
TIP! It is important to follow the instructions on your chemicals and tools closely, especially if you are new to gardening. Some of the chemicals in these products can cause skin irritation, or worse, if you fail to take this simple precaution.
Landscaping need not be done just by professionals! You can beautify your yard, as long as you put the time in and learn the right skills to do it well. Your accomplishments will have all your neighbors looking at your yard enviously. That is something that every homeowner wants!

Q&A with Oakland Athletics competitive balance round pick Jeremy Eierman
The 70th overall pick in the 2018 draft, Jeremy Eierman hit eight home runs in his pro debut season.

Editor's note: These interviews took place midseason, but personal circumstances prevented us from publishing them at the time of the interviews. We still wanted to share them even if they are a few months after the fact. Thank you!
Going into the 2018 MLB Draft, Jeremy Eierman was one of the most talked about college shortstops available. After hitting 23 home runs and posting a 1106 OPS for Missouri State as a sophomore, he entered his junior season as a potential top-15 pick. Eierman endured an up-and-down junior season with MSU, hitting 10 home runs in 56 games and swiping 21 bases but also seeing his OPS dip to 895. The A's picked up the power-hitting middle infielder with the 70th-overall selection.
Eierman spent his pro debut season with short-season Vermont and he played 62 games. Eierman showed prodigious power and hit eight home runs in a league not known for power. He also stole 10 bases. However, Eierman struck out 70 times and posted an overall slashline of .235/.283/.381.
Donald Moore spoke with Eierman during the season about his transition to pro ball.
Donald Moore: Hi Jeremy, how is everything going for you so far this season?
Jeremy Eierman: It's going good. Getting used to the live pros right now and I'm just two weeks into it now, so having a lot of fun and getting to know the guys and everything, so it's good.
DM: What are your goals for this year?
JE: To get used to the pros a little bit and learn everyday and just go out and have fun.
DM: What do you feel is your greatest strength as a ball player?
JE: I feel as though I can do everything well. My power kinds of stands out for me and playing a power position keeps my skill set pretty intriguing.
DM: What would you'd like to improve on?
JE: A little bit more consistency at the plate . Sometimes I get a little off my power so I'm trying to get more consistent at-bats.
DM: How are you acclimating to professional baseball?
JE: Good and the main thing is getting used to the grind. It's not like college. Pro ball is everyday and you make adjustments a lot faster, and that's the main thing when it comes down to it. Making your adjustments much quicker.
DM: What do you like best about being a professional athlete?
JE: Everything about it is great. Being a professional baseball player has been a dream of mine my whole life. Finally being able to do it and now I'm giving it my best shot. It's a dream come true.
DM: What is the hardest thing about being a pro?
JE: I don't think everything is crazy hard. It's nothing I have never seen. But that's the main thing, it's baseball and have fun.
DM: Any pre-game routines?
JE: Not really. I just do the same thing every day.
DM: Any hobbies?
JE: Hunting and fishing. I'm an outdoorsman, so that's basically it.
DM: Favorite baseball team growing up?
JE: Probably the Royals. I'm from Missouri, but I'm not huge on the Cardinals/Royals rivalry. That's kind of a split deal in Missouri, but other than that, I'd probably lean towards the Royals.
DM: Where are you originally from?
JE: Warsaw, Missouri.
DM: If there is one person that taught you the most about baseball, who would that be?
JE: Probably my dad. He's been there for me my whole life and brought me into the game. (His father, John, played in the minors for the Red Sox, and his brother, John, was drafted by Rays in 2011.)
DM: Craziest thing you have ever seen on a baseball diamond?
JE: We (Missouri State) had a bench clearing brawl against Kansas. It was the craziest thing I have ever seen. It was wild.
DM: Any off-season plans?
JE: Just working out and doing some hunting and fishing.
DM: I want to thank you for your time and the best of luck to you and your career.
JE: Thank you.

Choeun Panha, 33, a resident of Phnom Penh's Rik Reay community, watches from her window as developers move in Sunday.
LINKING arms to form a human chain, about a hundred residents of Phnom Penh's Rik Reay community stood in front of four machines dumping sand into their community in an attempt to prevent development work on Saturday.
Undeterred, workers for Bassac Garden City turned on the machines - pushing sand around and over the feet of the protesters, while others aimed guns at them, a local resident said.
"They pointed guns to get us to unlock our arms, and then they proceeded to push dirt at our legs because we refused to back down," said Chan Bunthol, 39, a community representative and one of the protesters.
Rath Kumnith, a legal adviser to Canadia Bank, which is providing a loan toBassac Garden City to fund the development, was unavailable for comment on Sunday.
Chan Bunthol said as a result of his protests he fears for his safety. "They want to arrest me because they've accused me of being a gangster, but I am only trying to protect my home," he said.
Heng Samphos, another community representative who has lived in Rik Reay since 1990, said the protesters also placed a giant Cambodian flag on the ground but that the development machines drove on top of it - proof, Heng Samphos said, "that they look down on our nation".
Sim Vay, the deputy chief of Village 8 said, "It is very hard to help people here. ... They asked me to talk to the Bassac Garden City owner to get a higher price [for compensation], and after I talked with the owner they agreed to increase the price by US$1,500, but people rejected it."
The deputy chief said the protesters "did not want to help our village but only to make trouble by themselves".
Khat Narith, the Tonle Bassac commune chief, said that Bassac Garden City filled their own property: "It is not related to residents' land," he said.
"Now, there are only about 50 families out of 219 who refuse compensation because they want to get between $100,000 and $150,000 for each family," he said, adding, "The company has the land titles to the land - which the people do not - so people don't have rights to that land. I think the company's compensation is enough for them because their houses are small, wooden and dilapidated," he added.
But Bunn Rachana, a monitor for the Housing Rights Task Force, said the company's actions were illegal, even if the company did hold the land title.
"What the company did with the Rik Reay community is against the people's housing rights because it is under negotiation. But the company filled up the land ... [to] put pressure on people to accept their compensation," Bunn Rachana said.
The Housing Rights Task Force released a statement on Sunday calling on the Bassac Garden City company to negotiate in good faith with the community and to halt all activities on the land.
The statement said the filling of the land was "in direct violation of the possession rights of community members, as guaranteed in the 2001 Land Law and the 1993 Constitution of Cambodia".
In its submission to the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights from early April, Amnesty International wrote: "Cambodian law does not include a clear prohibition on forced eviction and only provides a limited and weak degree of protection against forced evictions."
Amnesty International's submission highlighted a dearth of effective legal remedies for villagers like the ones at Rik Reay community who feel they were unlawfully evicted, saying it was "not aware of any instance in which victims of forced eviction have been able to acquire restitution through litigation".
The Amnesty submission specifically mentioned the alternative housing offered to the Rik Reay community as "inadequate" and called the compensation "insufficient".

[Leaflet] Only Socialism Beats Trump!
US Section of the IMT
Americans are sick of the status quo and want a change. They want to take their destinies into their own hands.
Millions of workers and young people are digesting the bitter pill of the failure of lesser evilism. They are truly traumatized, genuinely saddened, and understandably disturbed. They cannot imagine a world in which a bigoted billionaire bully is the top official in American political life. But countless others are outraged, viscerally affected, and ready to fight. While the liberal apologists for the crimes and failures of Clinton and the Democrats panicked and despaired, the instincts of the radicalized youth have come alive. This is the Sanders movement 2.0, no longer attempting to transform the Democrats through primaries and caucuses, but pouring into the streets to make it clear that we refuse to live in a country where racism, sexism, homophobia, poverty, unemployment, and homelessness are allowed to fester.
The enthusiasm and élan of these protests is a sight to behold. It shows the revolutionary potential that exists in hundreds of cities large and small across this continent of a country. The demonstrations and meetings must and should continue. However, if the workers and youth of America and the world are to have a better future, protesting will not be enough. Our historic task is not merely to register our discontent with the system, but to end it once and for all.
Trump is neither the genuine face nor the future of America. Nearly half of all eligible voters abstained from the election altogether. Millions fewer bothered to vote this time around than in 2008 or 2012, despite a growing population. Barely 25% of the voting population cast a ballot for Trump. Many of them did so to protest the status quo, despite his bigotry, not because of it.
Life teaches and we learn from experience. Trump's victory will serve as wake-up call, a harsh reminder that change cannot merely "believed in" or "hoped for" in the abstract. It will not come by voting for the parties of the status quo. It will have to be fought for. Americans are sick of the status quo and want a change. They want to take their destinies into their own hands. They want quality jobs, healthcare, education, security and a rising quality of life for themselves and their loved ones. Under capitalism, none of this is possible. Whether they know it yet or not, what they want is a socialist revolution. That is the path we are now on.
It won't be easy, and it won't be overnight, but we can make this a reality in our lifetimes. The clear lesson of Tuesday's election is that, in the words of Frederick Douglass, "if there is no struggle, there is no progress." Life is struggle and we should embrace it. What lies ahead is an exciting era of struggle for a better life for all. This should fill us with enthusiasm, resolve, and optimism for the future. Join the International Marxist Tendency in the struggle for a better world!

'I Was Interested In How Taylor & Axe Were Going To Get Along': Asia Kate Dillon On Season 5 Of Showtime's 'Billions'
Filed Under:Asia Kate Dillon, Damian Lewis, DJ Sixsmith, Maggie Siff, Only CBS, Paul Giamatti, Showtime
(CBS Local)– "Billions" is back on Showtime for season five and things are about to get interesting as Taylor Mason is back at Axe Capital.
Asia Kate Dillon has been a trailblazer in their portrayal of the non-binary character Mason and Dillon is excited for fans to check out season five of the series.
"We got through shooting seven episodes and we were shooting episode eight when we shut down production," said Dillon in an interview with CBS Local's DJ Sixsmith. "The first seven episodes are going to come out and we still have to film the back half of the season. I went into this season like I do every season with excitement and curiosity. I know very little about what's going to happen ahead of time. Certain things the producers will let me know, but for the most part I like to be surprised. This season, I was particularly interested in how Taylor and Axe were going to get along, now that Taylor is back at Axe Capital. Also, I was really interested in how the relationship between Taylor and Wendy Rhoades was going to develop."
While the relationship between Bobby Axelrod, played by Damian Lewis, and Chuck Rhoades, played by Paul Giamatti, is the headliner of the show, the relationship between Mason and Maggie Siff's character Wendy Rhoades is one of the most fascinating of the series.
"That relationship has really suffered some serious blows," said Dillon. "Last season was a game of cat and mouse and who was the cat and who was the mouse and we were both cats. This season, I was excited to see those relationships developed. Taylor and Wendy… they can't get away with anything with each other. Even last season, when Taylor is pulling one over on Wendy or Wendy is pulling one over on Taylor, I think they're both always aware that's a possibility. They've thought about the contingency plan if that's a possibility. I think every time Wendy double crossed Taylor last season, Taylor was both deeply hurt and very impressed. They both respect and love each other to some extent."
Watch a new episode of "Billions" this Sunday, May 10 on Showtime at 9pm EST/PST and on stream the series on Showtime Anytime.

Depression screening rates remain extremely low. Even with the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPTF) recommending that all adults over the age of 18 should be screened, depression screening numbers remains minuscule.
Estimates from a recent report published in Psychiatric Services signal to less than five percent of adults currently being screened in America. Even as the primary care setting is often the first entrance into interacting with the health care system, many people are not being appropriately identified to start receiving the care that they need.
"The findings suggest missed opportunities for depression screening in the general population," said Ayse Akincigil, co-author of the study.
When nearly one out of five Americans are battling some form of mental health condition, it is imperative that people can quickly assess whether they are experiencing depression. Estimates also point to the fact that over half of those with mental health conditions receive some form of care. Of those people who do receive care, it is estimated that only about 13 percent receive something that is effective for them to feel better.
There is a way to better align and connect the primary care physicians along healthcare's continuum of care with the needed assessments that are not currently being taken. These conditions, when not dealt with properly, are connected to tremendous costs to the system.
A leading health policy publication, Heath Affairs, named mental health conditions are the costliest medical condition in America.
Depression screenings have been suggested since 2002. Often the screening is covered by Medicare and private insurers, however the existing model of assessment is not effective.
There is a new, potentially easier, and more accessible way to screen for depression. Thanks to a partnership with the National Science Foundation, Chicago-based Prevail Health has developed an online behavioral health solution that begins with a clinical and demographic assessment to build a robust profile of the User.
The health assessment is known as a health quiz that can easily be done on any phone, tablet, or computer that it is internet-enabled. Tens of thousands of Users have already taken the health quiz to have a better understanding of their current situation, as well as begin receiving care to improve.
Want to take a health quiz to find out your health status? Try it here now.

We were very privileged to be introduced to the Fashion entrepreneur, trends guru and media personality Craig Jacobs just a few weeks ago, when the organiser of The East Rand Wedding Show turned to us and said – "do you think you can fit him in?". Fit him in…fall over ourselves to fit him in is more like the expression we have in mind. Have a look at the Shoot….
I had better paint a picture for you before we all get lost in this Blog. We are producing the Fashion Show at the inaugural Wedding showcase to be held at Emperors Palace this winter – 12/13 July 2014 to be precise. The event promises to set a new bench mark in the industry as it is the first event of its kind to be held in the East Rand of Johannesburg, but in particular because it is hosting the first ever #PowerHalfHour Fashion Show, an idea conceptualised by FranklyWild. If you're wondering what it is, and how it all works, you'd better make sure you book yourself a ticket. We will tell you though that it is going to be the 'FashionWeek' of Wedding Shows!
So Who is Craig Jacobs and what does he do?
This is the part where everyone always takes three long paragraphs to tell us what we already know, so we're not going to do that. Let's keep it simple, and let's keep it real. Craig popped into our Studio for a Photo Shoot on Thursday.
Let's tell you in one sentence about the man – he is uncomplicated, really easy to chat too, and can't do enough for you. If you want to know more about Craig, and what he does, and what Fundudzi is, then pop past the East Rand Wedding Show at Emperors Palace in a couple of weeks and we'll show you during our #PowerHalfHourFashionShow…! You may even get to chat to him at the Fashion Installation.
Before I sign off on this Blog, we're really excited to be hosting Craig as one of the designers during our Maiden PowerHalfHour shows, and even though we didn't know we'd have Craig at the time we conceptualised it, this is exactly why we came up with the idea!

The Saratoga Performing Arts Center will receive $1.75 million in state funds to pay for improvements to its amphitheater. Due to be completed before the beginning of next summer's season, the upgrades will include new surfaces, railings and panels for the ramps from the SPAC lawn to the amphitheater balcony, and new lighting that will preserve SPAC's signature globe lamps but will be more energy efficient.
News of the funding, provided by the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, was announced Wednesday at SPAC's annual members meeting, held in the Hall of Springs, adjacent to SPAC's grounds in the Saratoga Spa State Park.
In other news from the meeting, two public radio stations, Troy-based WMHT and WRTI in Philadelphia, will broadcast four Philadelphia Orchestra concerts that will be recorded at SPAC this summer. The recordings also will be available for listening on the orchestra's website. Elizabeth Sobol, SPAC's president and CEO, said it will be the first time in the orchestra's 52 years of SPAC residency that SPAC concerts will be broadcast on WRTI and the first time that WMHT has dedicated a series to SPAC performances.
Sobol also announced that SPAC is partnering with miSci, the Museum of Science and Innovation in Schenectady, to present the "Out of this World Festival," which will explore art and the cosmos. Related events will take place throughout August, starting off with the Philadelphia Orchestra's performance of Holst's "The Planets," complete with NASA space footage shown on screens. Audiences will be able to star-gaze with at telescopes around SPAC's reflecting pool and attend events for adults and children, including a new speaker series featuring thinkers engaged in the arts and sciences.
In another collaborative effort, SPAC, SaratogaArtsFest and Saratoga Shakespeare Company will present "Shakespeare in the Pines" on July 20, which will feature a one-hour musical adaptation of "Romeo & Juliet" prior to that evening's New York City Ballet performance.
Finally, Sobol said SPAC will host its first Festival of Young Artists on June 3 on SPAC's grounds. The free festival will bring 450 young dancers, musicians, singers, poets and visual artists from around the Capital Region with events including a poetry slam, student art show, pop-up performances and large concert featuring the Empire State Youth Orchestra, the Capital District Youth Chorale and Northeast Ballet Company.

Traumatized veteran's spouse debates her future in DeVita play
MADISON - Learning that her husband has survived a roadside bombing in Iraq with apparently minimal, shrapnel-induced damage, stateside wife Elise Sabato can be forgiven for counting her chickens before they've hatched.
"I find myself watching random homecoming videos on YouTube," Elise tells us in "Learning to Stay," a world premiere from Forward Theater that opened over the weekend under Jennifer Uphoff Gray's direction.
Adapted by James DeVita from the novel by Madison-based writer Erin Celello, "Learning to Stay" is set in 2010 Madison. It chronicles what happens after the celebratory homecoming video ends and real life begins again.
In the case of Elise (Kat Wodtke) and Brad (Jeb Burris), real life doesn't mean the old life, back when Elise saw Brad as "the kindest, smartest man I've ever met, equal parts patient and handsome" as well as a surefire winner as a future Dad.
That description comes from the novel.
Although DeVita follows Celello's lead, giving us a memory play told from Elise's point of view, his adaptation doesn't convey much sense of the Brad who was. That makes it harder to grasp why Elise might stay with the Brad who is: a "ghost" wounded in body and mind who drinks too much and is prone to frightening violence.
Burris accurately channels the rage consuming the new Brad; late in the play, he'll provide us with back story of an all-too familiar sort, confirming anew that war is indeed hell. But this isn't really his story.
"Learning to Stay" belongs instead to Elise, with Wodtke toggling between narration of the scenes she describes and reliving them in real time.
Those narrative passages are insufficiently dramatized, in the script or on stage; ditto many moments belonging to a four-person chorus, playing multiple, singly dimensioned characters and saddled with too many earnest and sometimes chalky expository passages.
There's also an unfortunate subplot involving the law firm where Elise works; its stereotyped characters and environment don't track the way people behave in an actual law firm, particularly in a city like Madison.
More important, that subplot pulls focus from the story that counts, here: Whether Elise should stick it out with Brad or start over. Watching Wodtke actually interact with Burris plays to Wodtke's strength as an actor: an ability to capture the tension between ostensible calm and underlying despair that's all the better and more poignant because it's not overplayed.
Dramatizing that story, amplified by further attention to the stories of two other women – one who lost her husband in Iraq (Malkia Stampley) and another leaving the damaged man who returned (Karen Moeller) – would give DeVita's script more focus. In its current iteration, its commendable attention to the details of Celello's novel is stifling its emergence as a play.
"Learning to Stay" continues through April 9 at the Overture Center, 201 State St., Madison. For tickets, visit forwardtheater.com/. To read more about this production, go to TapMilwaukee.com.
Filed Away and Forgotten: The huge towers of upstage filing cabinets in Mike Lawler's scenic design conjure many images. The law firm where Elise works. The perimeter of an embattled Iraqi safe zone. The nightmarish bureaucracy couples like Elise and Brad must navigate in seeking medical help. The "cabinet full" of medications that Brad must now take. The way we reductively pigeonhole veterans and categorize the mentally ill. And the way soldiers like Brad are trapped within their minds, reliving experiences they don't know how to share.
A Foundation Made of Sand: Lawler has rimmed Forward's thrust stage with sand. That suggests Iraq, always surrounding and lying beneath the seemingly stable American world to which Brad returns. Those desert sands also suggest the shifting and unreliable foundation on which Elise and Brad must now try to build a new life.
A Greek Chorus: When they're not each busy playing multiple characters, the four ensemble members surrounding this play's central couple serve as a Greek chorus, particularly effective in moments in which they underscore and further dramatize Elise's ruminations – as they do, for example, immediately after Elise's opening monologue. They also often remain onstage between scenes in which they're appearing as characters; as Uphoff Gray pointed out in a talkback following Sunday afternoon's performance, doing so allows them to bear witness to a story that affects all of us. As Uphoff Gray additionally noted, keeping the ensemble onstage also facilitates transitions, in a script with many – too many – truncated scenes. In addition to Moeller and Stampley, this production's ensemble members are Di'Monte Henning and Michael Herold.
An Iliad: DeVita's play follows his unforgettable performances in two productions of "An Iliad," in which he plays the Poet, struggling to make sense of war while cataloging what it's done to who we are and the world in which we live. Interviewing him before the first of those productions at the Milwaukee Repertory Theater in 2014, it was clear that this reliably thoughtful artist had already given considerable attention to the phenomenon of war and its tremendous collateral damage. He and Uphoff Gray deserve kudos for deciding three years ago to write and stage a play like this one; they did so long before the "theater of war" became a hot-button topic in the theater world (it's featured on the cover and in several articles in the current issue of American Theatre, which has profiled DeVita's play).
A Performance for Veterans: Consistent with the commitment that gave birth to this play, Forward has scheduled a private performance of "Learning to Stay" that's intended exclusively for veterans, their families and service providers. It will be followed by an in-depth discussion with Uphoff Gray, her cast, and Veterans Administration personnel. It's free; details and registration for those eligible to attend are available here: www.wisvetsmuseum.com/events/?ID=191.

The company who makes Narcan will chip in in order to off set costs of the opiate blocker.
The producers of the opioid overdose reversal drug Narcan, will pay into a new state trust fund to help make the medication more affordable to first responders in Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced.
Since the beginning of the heroin and pain medication crisis, the price of Narcan(Naloxone) shot up given the high demand. Healey announced that her office has come up with a solution by partnering with Amphastar Pharmaceuticals, making a $325,000 deal to offset the costs of the drug.
This program is the first of its kind payment from the manufacturer that will go into the Commonwealth's Municipal Naloxone Bulk Purchase Trust Fund, which will provide the nasal spray version of Narcan at a bulk equivalent to 10,000 units. The initial fund made 15,000 doses available with $150,000 in state funding. But the demand continues to increase in order for first responders to stand a chance at the growing opioid epidemic.
The cost of Narcan jumped from $15 a dose to about $44 in 2014. Healey hopes that buying the opioid blocker in bulk will stabilize the costs.
New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's office struck a similar deal with Amphastar cuts the wholesale price by 20 percent, and includes a $6 rebate per dose in February 2014. Last spring, the NYPD began training officers on how to use naloxone, and outfitting officers with kits. Eventually, 19,500 officers will carry the kits.
In less than a year, Schneiderman's office gave $1.8 million to state police departments for naloxone kit reimbursements.
Monday's announcement came as the world marked International Overdose Awareness Day.
Since August, Narcan has been used to save 129 lives in Worcester alone. Quincy became the first city in the nation to require police officers to carry Narcan, and has saved 95 percent of the victims treated. Statewide, first responders used 11,000 doses of Narcan last year.

LS&K is the project of us, Nina and Bek –a Sydney-based sister duo who shared a joint love of all things green and beautiful objects – hence the tag line 'wild green things, domesticated'.
We wanted to create vessels that would enhance internal spaces but be flexible; that would work equally for renters (who can't put hooks in walls) or homeowners. Our ceramics can be hung off picture rails, sat flat on tables, exist in pairs, bunches or individually. And we love having fun with the up-cycled pieces. We adore traipsing antique stores and op-shops and gathering our friends to write entertaining stories around them, for example, meet Mary.
We are just five months old – we participated in our first ever market in November last year. It was a great market test and we got awesome feedback that we've taken back into our business.
Allow plenty of prep time and try not to be anxious – you'll be amongst one of the most supportive communities we've encountered. On a practical level – get the Paypal handset – so simple and transacts directly via your phone. We couldn't have lived without it.
Tell us something exciting that you have planned for Leafsmith & Kin this year?
Figuring out the next level of logistics – going online! We've also got a few product ideas that are sitting at the concept stage that we're keen to realise.
The creative people around us. So fun to bounce ideas off.
That's hard – overall the diversity of application – the ability to sneak a cheeky pot in any space, whether that be on a window sill or hanging from a picture rail.
Having said that we both love the story-telling aspect of the Will & Blanche series – we only had a handful at the last market but we're planning to have a lot more for this next market.

Products and services are marketed in surprisingly similar ways.
Both products and services flood the marketplace to meet the needs and desires of diverse consumer groups. While many companies focus on either products or services, many begin with a singular focus and then add either services or products to further meet their customer's needs and enhance their company's sales. However, while there are both similarities and distinctions of goods and services in terms of what consumers purchase, the general approach in your marketing strategy can be strikingly similar.
Although there is a difference between product and service offerings, they are similar in a number of ways. Products are generally physical items, such as automobiles, tissue paper or personal computers. Services, on the other hand, are intangible and are derived from an individual's action, such as tax preparation services, car washes or guided tours.
Still, both products and services exist to meet needs in the marketplace and both rely on demand from target customer groups. Both products and services attempt to provide value to individuals, families or businesses, and both rely on marketing to stimulate demand and motivate consumers to make purchasing decisions.
Marketing comprises a range of specific activities, all of which can be employed to promote either products or services. As far as strategies are concerned, product and service marketing are highly related activities. Marketing comprises a range of efforts, all of which can be employed to promote either products or services. Advertising, promotional drives and public relations activities are among the tools used to drive sales.
Advertising is the most visible component of marketing, comprising one-way messages sent over mass market and other media.
It begins with a specific purpose and seeks to communicate a primary message to the consumer.
Advertisements can be created to inform customers of new offerings, remind customers about established brands, encourage repeat purchases or brand switching or to stimulate momentum for upcoming promotional activities.
Promotions is the branch of marketing concerned with encouraging customers to try products or services or to make repeat purchases.
Promotions offer perks like discount coupons, in-store sales and loyalty reward programs.
Promotions may combine product and service offerings. For example, with the purchase of a new appliance, customers may receive a free service cleaning or a discount on accessories.
Public relations is the arm of marketing concerned with managing relationships with public entities, including the government and news organizations.
Monetary donations to local charities and sending press releases to the local media and newspapers detailing the donation creates good will within the community.
Maintaining a positive relationship with the community has the intent of ultimately driving sales for the company.
Products and services are not always mutually exclusive. Innovative companies learn to bundle products and services to diversify and strengthen their income statements. Examples of product and service bundles include software packages with technical support contracts or salons that sell their own cosmetic products. For these businesses, products and services can often be effectively marketed together.
Despite the similarity of products and services in marketing efforts, there are some differences in how consumers directly relate to each. Services tend to be more interactive and personal since the end user is often directly interacting with the service provider, whereas products are ordered online or picked off a shelf without any personal interaction taking place. Consumers can also customize their service experience by stating preferences. Products, however, are mass produced and do not often offer customers the opportunity to give input. For this reason, service marketing needs to allow for the human component, marketing the person in addition to the service.

Covid 19: How Safe is the Stock Island Homeless Shelter? What More Can be Done?
KOTS sleeping arrangements before COVID-19
So far, the Florida Keys have had 40 people test positive for Covid-19. Thursday saw the first local death from the virus, a Key West man who was only 55-year-old.
Among the particularly vulnerable are those who live in senior citizen group homes and the local homeless shelter.
There are approximately 119 people living at the Stock Island homeless shelter (KOTS). What if one of them contracts the virus in town, comes back that night to eat dinner, watch tv, and sleep, all in very close quarters with the other "clients" assisted every night at the shelter? In all probability he (or she) would infect a very large number of his brethren who, in turn, would go back to town the next morning to work, as many do, or simply to stroll the streets.
The dangers created by this situation are obvious.
According to the 2019 Homeless Population Point in Time Survey the Keys has a population of about 500 homeless people on a given night with 190 of them living in various emergency shelters.
If the virus was to spread through this very vulnerable population and 20% of them needed hospitalization those additional people, all getting sick more or less simultaneously, could contribute to maxing out the Keys' hospital capacity. And once infected, the homeless population could also contribute to spreading the virus.
When we asked Key West Mayor, Teri Johnston, a week ago, about the clustered conditions at the shelter she told us she was working with Sheriff Rick Ramsay to add more ground, along with some tents that could be used to add distance between beds. We were able to verify today that this has been done. Two military-style tents have been set up, so beds are now at least 6 feet apart.
But the situation is far from perfect, according to Michael Riley, who works at the KOTS homeless shelter. "I can't really keep people from sitting together to watch TV or from gathering together if they want to."
There's only one television at KOTS and every night it plays from a stock of donated VHS tapes and DVD's. When we were last at KOTS (before Covid-19) we witnessed between 20 and 30 people crammed together after dinner to watch Sylvester Stallone be "Rambo."
Elicia Pintabona, the Executive Director who runs KOTS for the City, through the Southernmost Homeless Assistance League (SHAL), said that much has been done at KOTS to respond to the Covid-19 health crisis.
"KOTS just put new measures in place to ensure clients are social distancing appropriately. If they can't or won't take the precautions, they simply can't stay," said Elicia.
Additionally, every KOTS client must now wash hands before being admitted, clients are sleeping "head to toe," and the city has provided hand washing and sanitizing stations.
"We have instituted a once a day only policy regarding coming and going. We found that clients were leaving and coming back multiple times a day. This increased the risk and vulnerability of the facility, so we've limited that to once a day. And again they must wash their hands upon entrance."
The shelter is now open 24 hours a day in an attempt to keep the homeless safely sheltered "at home." SHAL provides breakfast and has teamed up with the SOS community kitchen which is now providing daily lunches. St. Mary's Soup Kitchen is providing dinner, as it has for years.
However, when it comes to Covid-19, some key concerns remain.
Elicia says the shelter currently has enough face masks for its staff and clients. However, when we asked people on the ground, they said KOTS' clients are not wearing the masks. While the CDC's Covid-19 guidance up until today told members of the public to wear a face mask only if they are sick, today that guidance changed. CDC is now recommending that everyone "wear cloth face coverings in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain."
In Asia, the ubiquitous use of masks is credited as an essential part of how Hong Kong manages to stay relatively open, including restaurants, while keeping the epidemic in check. (Masks of infected people will block the virus. Since the virus can be spread by people who do not yet know they are infected, everyone should wear a mask, thereby protecting others.)
Wearing mask at KOTS would protect the group from rapid contamination. Alicia agrees, "We actually just requested a large quantity of masks from a local sewing group and also from the City's Emergency Management Liaison in order to stay ahead of the demand."
But the shelter does have a "wish list" of items that would help make KOTS even safer: The shelter needs at least one 'no-contact thermometer' to test people's temperature at the door. Two or three more televisions with DVD capacity would help divide the people into smaller groups every night. And Liquid Hand Soap is high on the list.
Elicia told us KOTS has long been using 25 cases of bleach a month, under normal conditions, to keep KOTS clean but is now additionally using hospital virucide disinfectant to disinfect the shelter twice a day. She said they are also waiting for an additional stock of virucide foggers and spray foggers in addition of the ones the shelter has been using.
And Elicia is also hoping to get some of those 5-minute Covid-19 testers we've all been hearing about as soon as possible.
Florida Keys residents have always had mixed feelings about the local homeless population; however, it is clearly in everyone's best interests to assist the shelter in every possible way. People can also donate to the shelter directly by clicking on the donate button on the home page of SHAL's website.

Cairo, Egypt | LOUIS JADWONG | If Uganda Cranes deny the Egyptian Pharaohs maximum points Tuesday night, they will be within reach of the "Promised Land" of World Cup Russia 2018.
After stand-in coach Moses Basena said he was the Biblical Moses, ready to lead his team to Canaan, the Uganda Cranes team dared to dream, and by the final whistle on Thursday, had beaten Egypt's Pharaohs 1-0 to top World Cup qualifying Group E.
It was Uganda's first victory over the Egyptians since 1965, and in biblical terms, can be equated to Moses parting the waters of the Red Sea for the Israelites to cross. "I'm the Moses to lead Cranes to the Promised Land" said Basena early last week.
Reaching the Promised Land as the Israelites discovered, was fraught with difficulties. That is what Cranes face at Alexandria's Borg El Arab stadium from 9pm.
In African football terms, no task is as big as playing the Egyptian Pharaohs at their own home-ground. Uganda -Egypt battles have been far between, and have mainly been friendlies but still always ended with the Pharoahs winning.
Since their first meeting in 1962, a Nations Cup match that Egypt won 2-1 in Ethiopia, Uganda has faced their North African opponents 17 other times, with nine of those being friendlies. Egypt have won 13 of those, lost only two (1965 and 2017) and drawn 3.
The last time Uganda visited Egypt in a competitive match was in 1995, a Nations Cup qualifying match that the Pharaohs won 6-0.
"We picked up a good result against Egypt. We need to build on that. It is this group that will do the job," said Basena, flanked by Ibra Sekagya and goalkeeping coach Fred Kajoba, at one of the team's last briefings in Egypt.
Basena will hope the experience of many of his players who have faced Egyptian opposition in the past year will count in this key World Cup Africa zone qualifying group match.
The stadium is the same venue where goalkeeper Denis Onyango lifted the CAF Champions League with South African side Mamelodi Sundowns in 2016. The likes of striker Derrick Nsibambi helped KCCA beat Egyptian side Al Masry in April.
"I know the stadium very well. It will be my second time here but I have great memories on this ground. I hope we can enjoy more great memories as Uganda Cranes on Tuesday" said Onyango on Monday.
Basena has travelled with the entire XI that started against Egypt last Thursday, including livewire Emmanuel Okwi who scored the only goal, and Farouk Miya who has shaken off an injury.
Egypt's 44-year-old goalkeeper Essam El Hadary is a doubt for the game but Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah will get a second chance after some missed chances in Kampala, and will be the main threat.
The other strike options Argentine coach Hector Cuper will have are Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny and City winger Ramadan Sobhy.
Egypt have not been to the World Cup since 1990 and anything other than a win Tuesday will put Cuper under immense pressure.
Uganda has not been to the World Cup before. Defeat will not completely rule out their hopes, but will raise fears again that the best they can achieve is to get near the promised land, but like the Biblical Israelites, still need a Joshua to go all the way.

The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) campaign group has welcomed commitments by signatories of the Montreal Protocol to tackle concerns over high levels of emissions containing the ozone depleting substance CFC11.
The conclusion of the latest meeting of parties singed up to the Montreal Protocol in Ecuador last week set out new steps to understand the source of the CFC11 emissions that an EIA investigation attributed to a number of factories in China.
The campaign group said it welcomed the reaction to an investigation it had undertaken into "widespread and pervasive" use of CFC-11 for construction purposes in China. It argues the investigation has raised important questions over the wider effectiveness of existing monitoring and enforcement of greenhouse gas emissions.
Information will now be required during the next meeting of the parties concerning CFC11 levels in the atmosphere and an analysis of existing monitoring work and reporting on the substance as part of the protocol, according to the EIA.
EIA UK climate campaigns leader Clare Perry said the organisation commended China over its stated commitments for trying to tackle illegal production of CFC11. However, she said that the latest commitments from the Chinese and other parties signed up to the Montreal Protocol still faced significant challenges.
The campaign group added that all signatories had agreed during the meeting to introduce provisions for reporting details around HFCs under the Kigali Amendment to the protocol. This will take effect in January 2019.
Agreement was also reached during the meeting to consider making use of a financial mechanism under the protocol to provide extra funding for energy efficiency initiatives in low volume consuming countries, the EIA added.
Avipsa Mahapatra, who leads the EIA's US climate campaign, said that China's response to enforcing CFC11 production on the back of its campaigning reflected the importance of the Montreal Protocol.

Group Of Tulsa Business Owners File Lawsuit Against Mayor Bynum, City Council Over Mask Mandate
Tuesday, August 18th 2020, 12:17 pm
TULSA, Okla. -
Some local doctors and citizens are suing Tulsa's Mayor over the mask mandate.
The lawsuit includes Tulsa Health Department and city councilors, saying the masks can make people sick and the mandate should be lifted.
One of the things the lawsuit said is that people are not wearing masks properly and could be causing more harm by spreading bacteria on the masks each time they are used.
"Lots of people have respiratory diseases and disabilities and genetic changes that make wearing a mask uncomfortable inducing anxiety, dizziness, brain fog, etc. and we have to understand that and we need to allow those people with those disabilities to make a decision for themselves," said Dr. Jim Meehan, MD.
Dr. Meehan along with several Tulsa business owners filed the lawsuit. Back in July when the mask mandate passed, Mayor G.T. Bynum said it was the right decision based on the advice of health experts.
"We're hearing from doctors from around the state that something like this should be put in place. We're hearing from the superintendents of all three of our school districts now that we need this in place," said Mayor Bynum.
The lawsuit said the mask mandate puts the burden of enforcing the ordinance on business owners, which puts them at risk for a potential lawsuit.
"They were made to be enforcers of the city ordinance. So when an employer is forced to enforce a mask mandate in their employees and they are also violating OSHA occupational safety and health administration regulations that's a set up for a real problem," said Dr. Meehan.
News On 6 reached out to Mayor Bynum's office, Tulsa City Councilors, and Tulsa Health Department for a comment, but they said they cannot comment at this time since this is ongoing litigation.

"For years, people have been asking those of us who study cooperation about the motive that is behind an action," said Harvard Professor Martin Nowak. Nowak (from right), Moshe Hoffman, and Erez Yoeli have developed a first-of-its-kind model, dubbed the "envelope game," that can help researchers to understand not only why humans evolved to be cooperative but why they evolved to cooperate in a principled way.
Aside from the obvious, what is it that distinguishes Mother Teresa from Sean Penn? Both performed charitable acts. Mother Teresa worked for decades in the slums of Calcutta, and Penn was among those who traveled to New Orleans to help victims of Hurricane Katrina.
But while the late Mother Teresa is today recognized as a near saint, Penn was widely mocked for bringing an entourage — including a publicist and a personal photographer — to document the aid effort.
Martin Nowak, professor of mathematics and biology and director of the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics (PED), Moshe Hoffman, a research scientist at PED, and Erez Yoeli, a visiting scholar at PED and a researcher at the Federal Trade Commission, might argue that the difference between the two could be chalked up to what the public perceives as contrasts in motivation. While Mother Teresa's efforts were seen as purely altruistic, Penn's actions suggested his aid might amount to little more than a publicity stunt.
To understand why it matters to people what Mother Teresa's motives were, Nowak, Hoffman, and Yoeli have developed a first-of-its-kind model, dubbed the "envelope game," that can help researchers to understand not only how cooperation evolved, but why people care so much about others' motives. The model is described in a paper recently published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The solution, Hoffman explained, was to add a new wrinkle to the traditional "cooperation game" used by researchers, one that offers players the chance to consider the costs of cooperation.
As outlined by Nowak, Hoffman, and Yoeli, the game works this way: Before deciding whether to cooperate, one player has the option of opening an envelope telling him or her whether the cost of cooperation is high or low. Based on that information, that player can choose whether to cooperate or not, and the second player — who knows whether the counterpart looked in the envelope — can then decide whether to repeat the interaction, with a new envelope, or end the relationship.
The model can also help to explain why a New Orleans rescue mission ultimately became fodder for criticism.
That's not to suggest, Nowak said, that that sort of cooperation is bad.
That analysis, Hoffman said, revealed the conditions under which people are more likely to trust those who do not open the envelope — that is, those who are true altruists — more than those who do.
Since authentic altruists, he continued, never look in the envelope, they cooperate regardless of the cost.
Understanding how motives affect cooperation, Hoffman said, is more than just an academic exercise. The model described in the paper also offers insights into a host of real-world situations ranging from politics to the boardroom and beyond, clarifying when people should care about motives as well as whether policymakers should respect these considerations.
The new model could also be applied to the business world, Yoeli said, where managers could benefit from demonstrating their principles to employees. Yoeli adds that the model suggests when people should care if businesses are principled: when the firm's temptation to misuse personal data or reduce the quality of their products varies considerably over time, and users will have already given up their sensitive information or be locked into the firm's products.
The model sheds light onto laws banning practices such as prostitution or selling organs. According to Yoeli, this model suggests that laws banning the sale of organs enables policymakers or voters to signal their trustworthiness at the cost to those who are in need of a kidney.
Most importantly, the authors hope, this model can bring principled behavior and authentic altruism out of the domain of philosophy and theology and provide an evolutionary explanation for such phenomena.

As the technology and economic is developing, the environment problem is becoming a severe problem, and the people are seriously affected.
The sustained damage to the environment has caused a serious problem, such as air pollution, sand storm, extraordinary weather, and diseases etc., people suffer from what they have done to the environment.
However. People have realized that it will be too late if they don't do anything to prevent things from getting worse. For example, there is an "Earth Hour" on a Saturday of March of each year. It is a global movement, usually it lasts from 8:30pm to 9:30pm. It is also called "Light-off for One Hour". During this hour, all the light will be turned off. The purpose of this movement is not only to save energy, but also to warn the people to realize the importance of protecting the mother earth, and to stop violating the environment.
Anyway, people and the environment have to keep a balance relationship. People take from the environment, and have to protect it too.
Shen Xing moved to study diligently, just to see Shen Sihai to the accounts to check in advance. He saw the meaning of his father, as if do not want to continue cooperation with Dominique, and thought his proposal has finally worked.
At the time of Shen Sihai's visit, Du Mingli brought good news. After the incident was over, under the invitation of Beller, the empress dowager and emperor allowed Shen Xing to escalate to any of them. Even after all the Shen family business, Beller must invest in stocks. Although Shen Sihai think this connection is worth 30% of shares, but still was out of Dominic Wu's move impressed. He knew that with this booklet, Jingyang all business will be attributed to its own.
Du Mingli again spoke of the people who were dismissed last time were dismissed, the adults of the Ministry of Punishment were sent back to the country, and even Zhao Baishi was reduced from four to seven. Shen Sihai Beller's strength more confidence, could not help but be happy.

I did genetic tests with a very famous genomics company, and they gave me a 14-megabyte document full of genetic code which I could not decipher by myself.
The test taken by Ran's child cost 6,500 yuan ($940) and was developed by DaAn Gene, a Guangzhou-based genomics company that only began offering personal genetic testing products in 2015. Affiliated with Sun Yat-sen University, DaAn had been focusing on research-related gene studies and working with institutions. It was only in the past two years that it started targeting members of the public as customers.
In China, there are over 150 genomics firms. Currently, 70 percent of them mainly offer gene-testing services, and an increasing number of them have started to offer tests to individual consumers. With attractive advertisements and mysteriously advanced technology, genomics firms have become attractive choices for investors. A rough calculation by CN Healthcare says that 40 Chinese gene companies received investment in 2016, worth over 80 billion yuan in total.
According to the National Human Genome Research Institute in the U.S., genome sequencing costs started to fall sharply in 2007, when the cost per genome was around $10 million. By 2015, that number had dropped to less than $1,000.
As these businesses increasingly target the public, two types of gene companies have emerged: On one side, there are the traditional gene technology companies that entered the market before 2012; on the other side are the startups targeting individual customers and promoting the commercial use of genomics.
But at the same time, there are also companies like DaAn Gene that cover both professional and personal tests. "As a leading company in the genomics industry, it's our responsibility to help more people learn about gene studies, with lower prices and from a simpler angle," a spokesperson at DaAn Gene told Chinese business newspaper 21st Century in 2015.
China has strict rules for public hospitals hoping to distribute gene products developed by private companies: An official approval from the China Food and Drug Administration is needed, but in a general sense, the official attitude appears to favor the wider use of gene technology in medical fields. In 2015, the Chinese health ministry for the first time allowed 107 hospitals to conduct non-invasive prenatal tests (NIPTs). One year later, the ban was lifted, and all hospitals with an obstetrics department could do the test.
Worldwide, DNA-based tests are available for over 1,500 diseases in people of all ages, yet so far in China, the NIPT, which costs about 2,000 yuan per test, is the most common and screens for three kinds of genetic disease.
Although the government has allowed nearly all hospitals to conduct NIPTs, these tests which involve widely accepted science, still aren't a direction many startup companies plan to specialize in. This is largely because two companies, Berry Genomics and BGI, basically dominate the NIPT service market, leaving slim opportunities for newcomers.
If a parent forces their child whose genes showed athletic ability to play sports even though the child prefers piano, there are obvious ethical problems.
Zheng Hongkun founded Biomarker Technologies in 2009 after working at BGI for nine years. With an estimated market value of 1 billion yuan, his company develops sequencing technologies and provides data and sequencing services for research institutes. Zheng says Biomarker will put more effort into developing genetic applications for early tumor detection and more precise medical treatment. "Apart from reproductive health, tumors are the other area in which genomics can play an important role," he adds.
After doing two genetic tests, Huang Jinzhang, the former editor-in-chief of Phoenix Weekly, decided to start his own genomics company, Gese DNA, which focuses on providing "readable content." The aim is to present information in a straightforward way, without technical jargon or figures.
"I did genetic tests twice in 2013 with a very famous, very professional genomics company, and they gave me a report: a 14-megabyte document full of genetic code which I could not decipher by myself," Huang told China Newsweek magazine in December 2016. Afterward, he decided to develop a more user-friendly alternative.
The package offered by Gese DNA, which costs 499 yuan, claims to answer questions relating to six aspects of health and character — for example, how fast you can learn new things, whether you're easily addicted to something, or if you have an introverted personality. If you're a man, it can even tell you the probability that you'll go bald.
Compared to medical uses like NIPT and tumor treatment, personal genetic tests, which purport to answer people's questions about their health, lifestyle, and personality, tend to be more explicit, have less scientific backing, and be less regulated.
On Taobao, China's largest online e-commerce platform, there are clear rules banning the sale of these genetic products, although gene-testing packages, ranging in price from 99 to 2,999 yuan, can still be found at over 40 stores. Most of these target parents who want to find out more about their children's talents.
Though recognized by many people and favored by startups and venture capitalists, genetic tests remain controversial. "If a parent forces their child whose genes showed athletic ability to play sports even though the child prefers piano, or if an employer wants to see the test results, there are obvious ethical problems," says Huang Shangzhi, a professor at Peking Union Medical College Hospital in Beijing.
But ethical issues and accuracy are not primary concerns for many businesspeople. WeGene, another personal genetics company, not only generates talent reports, but also gives health resolution packages that include advice on losing weight or curing insomnia.
Once you part with your genetic information, there can't be guarantees of privacy and anonymity.
Selling health solutions to consumers is a common business model applied by companies, but there is also another approach: data collection.
California-based 23andMe has become a role model for many Chinese genomics companies. Initially a personal genetics startup, 23andMe has now become a research company that partners with drug developers and medical institutions. In 2015, it announced a deal with Pfizer, giving the giant drugmaker access to data it collected from 650,000 individuals.
Will 23andMe's Chinese acolytes follow a similar path to monetization by selling data? Cheng says that companies like Gese DNA and WeGene can certainly accumulate a lot of data, which is a core component for genetic research.
Personal genetic testing startups can see a path to becoming data-oriented research companies, provided they can get enough private data and permission to use it. Alternatively, they can try to develop their medical teams, becoming more service-oriented by partnering with hospitals and medical institutions to offer health solutions.
The qualifications to decode genes could be a determining factor for startups, Professor Huang says. For talent tests, accuracy might not be vital, but medical treatment is different — and Huang says China lacks trained genetic consultants. "The genetic test results are useful tools for clinical diagnosis and treatment, but only people with both genetic knowledge and clinical experience can make sense of the data," he says, adding that only an estimated 5 percent of doctors in China are qualified to do this.

This is a software issue that has been bugging me these past few weeks. I put my computer to sleep, I wake it up, and everything boots up but the backlight. The problem is not hardware because the light does come on eventually.
Problem is, that this issue is not reproducible, but it most likely happens when the laptop is not attached to the AC. Now the only reason I'm posting about this issue now, is that I've rebooted my A1211 many times and the backlight is still stubbornly off. It may turn on again eventually, but at this point, I don't know.
Here's what I've found online.
If anyone can add more to this issue, please do.
Start it up in "Safe Mode" by holding down the "Shift key". This failing boot from the system installation disk by inserting the disk and restarting holding down the "C" key. If the problem persists, then it's a hardware issue.
While using my friend's monitor, the backlights magically turn back on again! I didn't even touch the LCD, maybe the wiggling of my typing did something, but what hardware issue does that point to?
I'll try your reboot method next time the lights go out. I'm hoping this is due to the software issue I posted, but so far, I really haven't come across any evidence of what the source of the problem might be.
It really is a random issue. It comes and goes when it pleases.
Isn't there a diagnostic test I could perform? I really don't want to jump the gun and spend money on a replacement until I'm sure it's the inverter.
I agree with reMacberlin for the inverter board issue or a flaky inverter cable connection but if you want to explore the software issue boot the MBP from another source than your hard drive and check if the problem persists. If one of your friends has a Intel Mac just connect to his Mac via firewire target mode and boot your MBP from his hard drive or boot from an external firewire or USB drive.
Well I am getting a firewire external HDD soon. (I can fresh install 10.6 on it right?) So unless there is another test I could perform, I'll go down that road.
I found these solution on the Apple forums.

Datsun Go fails crash test, dismally
Industry news / 6 November 2014, 09:27am / Jason Woosey
The Datsun Go's structure performed so badly that fitting an airbag would be futile, says Global NCAP.
The Maruti Suzuki Swift, it was concluded, would perform better with airbags. Luckily SA models are fitted with these essential safety items.
The Datsun Go recently hit South African streets with a refreshingly affordable price tag of just R89 500, yet it also came under fire for not offering basic safety features like airbags and ABS. Now it appears that airbags might not help much anyway.
In a recent crash test conducted by Global NCAP's new Indian division, the Go's structure collapsed during the 64km/h frontal offset test.
According to Bharat NCAP, the crash test dummy's readings "indicated a high probability of life-threatening injuries." While the lack of airbags ensured that the driver's head hit the steering wheel and dashboard, even having them on board might not have made much of a difference as the organisation also remarked that "the failure of the body shell makes fitting an airbag redundant."
ZERO STARS ACROSS THE BOARD
Little surprise then, that the Datsun Go received an adult occupant rating of zero stars. Bharat NCAP also announced the crash test results of the Maruti Suzuki Swift and although it also failed to gain a single star, its structure performed better in the tests. It appears that main problem here was a lack of airbags, causing the dummy's head to hit the steering wheel. The structure did show some signs of collapsing in the frontal offset crash test, however the crash testing authority concluded that "the fitting of airbags would improve occupant protection."
Suzuki South Africa sources its 1.2-litre Swift models from India and thankfully our cars do have airbags fitted across the range.
Providing that the structure remains relatively stable, these explosive cushions actually do appear to make a big difference. Earlier this year, Global NCAP crash tested a batch of compact hatchbacks, including the Ford Figo and VW Polo, and all of them were slapped with a zero star rating. However, the Polo was later retested with airbags, after they were made standard, and the car suddenly achieved a four-star rating.
IS IT SCAREMONGERING?
However, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers has dismissed the crash test reports as "scaremongering". Its director general, Vishnu Mathur, said: "Global NCAP can do what they want. We have our own safety road map that we are going to follow and are already following." Mathur accused Global NCAP of not considering that average speeds are lower in India than in more developed countries, as a result of bad roads and heavy traffic.
Strange then, that these conditions have not prevented India from having one of the worst road death tolls in the world, with around 1.2 million deaths recorded in the last decade, according to Reuters. And if it's ok for cars to be less protective because of India's 'slow' roads what are the implications, then, when these cars are imported to the not-so-slow streets of South Africa? Do we even matter?
THREE PILLARS OF PROTECTION
The moral of the story is that a seatbelt alone is not going to stop you from striking the steering wheel during a frontal crash, although it will most certainly soften the blow of the impact and you really have to be an idiot not to wear one. But to maximise your changes, you need a seatbelt, airbag and a decent structure around you.
And if you're going to Go for the Datsun, it is a rather solid and affordable car, just make sure you never have an accident.

Agents Of SHIELD Season 8 Release Date And Spoilers
in Web Shows
by Ritika Negi December 7, 2021, 8:00 pm
Marvel's Agents of SHIELD has entertained the fans in a marvelous way. Though all the fans have one question in common will there be a season 8? sadly, according to the sources chances of season 8 happening are fairly low.
Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is an American television series created by Joss Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, and Jed Whedon based on the Marvel Comics organization S.H.I.E.L.D. ABC Studios, Marvel Television, and Mutant Enemy Productions collaborated on the project. S.H.I.E.L.D was the first in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
If you're wishing that the ABC series will bring it back for season 8, we're sorry to inform you that there's a slim chance that the superhero show will return in the near future for a new season of the show.
Agents Of SHIELD Season 8 Release Date
The cast of SHIELD thought the series would come to an with the 5th season. Even the last episode of the 5th season was titled "The End". Marvel threw in a surprise, as expected, and it was later renewed by ABC for two more seasons. While season 8 is unlikely, a possible remake could take the Agents of SHIELD storyline beyond season 7.
Last May, after mentioning a number of remakes rumors that were shot down in recent months, Deadline asked Loeb and his fellow executive producer Jeffrey Bell if the series is "genuinely over" after its very last episode. Season 7 marketing consistently emphasized this as the team's final battle. It even became a major part of the plot when the Chronicom Enoch predicted the team would break up after winning the Time War. The team has split up, as evidenced by a one-year-forward scene in the season 7 finale. This means that Season 8 of Agents of SHIELD is unlikely.
Agents Of SHIELD Season 8 Cast
The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. deal with a wide range of exceptional cases and enemies. Including Hydra, Life Model Decoys, Inhumans, alien species such as the Kree and Chronicoms as well as time travel. Numerous episodes have direct intersections with MCU films or other television series. Most notably Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014), which had a significant impact on the series during its first season. In addition to Gregg, other actors from the MCU appear in cameo roles.
The SHIELD team became embroiled in a Time War with an alien race known as the Chronicles. The expedition revealed the secret history of their platform at the Lighthouse, the history of their allies the Koenigs, and several new Barbarous menaces. It was a wise strategy, transforming Agents of SHIELD season 7 into a true "Last Gasp" for what had become Marvel's iconic TV series.

The series premiered on ABC in the United States on September 24, 2013, and ended with a two-part series finale on August 12, 2020, with 136 episodes aired over seven seasons. It stars Ming-Na Wen as Melinda May, Brett Dalton as Grant Ward and Hive, Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson and Sarge.
Chloe Bennet as Daisy Johnson, Elizabeth Henstridge plays the role of Jemma Simmons, and lain De Caestecker plays Leo Fitz. Nick Blood stars as Lance Hunter, Adrianne Palicki stars as Bobbi Morse, Luke Mitchell stars as Lincoln Campbell. John Hannah stars as Holden Radcliffe, Natalia Cordova-Buckley stars as Elena Rodriguez andJeff Ward stars as Deke Shaw.
Agents Of SHIELD Season 8 Story
Season 8 of Agents of SHIELD is complete, but that doesn't mean none of these characters will return. The timeline is clearly no longer linked to the mainstream MCU. But a mention of the Quantum Realm in the Agents of SHIELD season 7 finale was significant. It identified Agents of SHIELD as existing in the same Multiverse as the films. The multiverse might play an important role in Loki and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
Aside from a possible prequel, it's possible that some of the Agents of SHIELD characters will make the leap to the big screen. After all, a link to the Quantum Realm in the season 7 finale made it abundantly clear that the TV show and the movies are both parts of the same Multiverse.
Season 7 of Marvel's Agents of SHIELD concluded on Wednesday night. If you're wishing that the ABC series will bring it back for season 8, we're sorry to inform you that there's a slim chance that the superhero show will return for another season of the show in the near future.

Every year around this time in the Berkshires, it seems like spring may have sprung. Even though it was 60 degrees out last week, we're now fully back to winter, so we will continue our winter cleaning tips and suggestions.
Our family here at S&S Janitorial Services have collected a list of ways to help you clear the clutter out of last year! Tips and suggestions that will keep you ahead of your cleaning routines. We're here to help make Spring-cleaning a bit easier, especially when mother nature decides to tease us with warmer weather, only to bury us with snow the next day.
We may have mentioned some of these same tips in the past, but as a professional cleaning company, we see these topics come up often.
First, it's time to clean out those closets! If you want to eliminate clutter, this is an easy step. Organize your clothing and decide what is a keeper, and what to give away. Not only will this help you, but donating clothing that doesn't fit you, or that you don't wear, will help the community. The best way to tell if you can give away that favorite sweater or coat is time – if you haven't worn it in two years, it's a giveaway. The keepers? Wash, mend, or send them to the dry cleaners.
Next, pair up your mittens and gloves, and stack them neatly where they can be easily found. Single ones can be thrown out, or mismatched to similar singles. Just be sure that you actually use the singles, and don't just hang on to them "just in case".
Our third tip is to clean any boots and winter shoes thoroughly, and spray with a protective solution to keep them ready for the next year. If they don't fit, or you have not worn them in two winters, donate them. If you have a few pairs that need it and you have to keep; polish and clean shoes. Put them where you can readily find them, and keep them organized.
The end of the year means taxes, and taxes most often means paperwork. Get your tax papers together now, if you start early, there will be plenty of time to go after missing receipts and add up deductions. If you have everything that you need, you can send your return to your accountant earlier (fi you use one) and get your refund faster. When this is done, you can avoid any last-minute roadblocks, and this will clean up some of the office clutter. You may even find that you can hire professional cleaners to assist you with some of the chores you really don't want to do your self!
If you do a lot of work at home or make your living there, inevitably piles of papers, books and files can be a major eyesore. Now is the time to go through them systematically. File what needs filing, and recycle what doesn't. If you're not sure of something, ask yourself: Do I need it? Will I need it? Is there a better place for it?
While you're at it, do the same with your computer and laptop. Delete old files, empty the trash, store files you want to save on disks or a hard drive, organize your desktops. If you really want to deep clean your keyboard, take a look here. Taking this time now will put the finishing touches on a clean and organized work space. You'll notice a clear difference in the way you feel, too, as studies have found a connection between stress and office clutter.
If your dishes, silverware, pots, and pans tend to end up in a jumble, perhaps you have too many. Consider a more convenient storage system for frequently used pans, such as a hanging rack (or drawer) near where they're used. Pans that are used less frequently can be stored further away, or even in another room. The same can be said for dishes, or dinnerware that is saved for special occasions. You don't need your holiday platter taking up space with your daily dishware!
Go through your spices and throw away any that are expired. Add to those the containers that have just a teeny bit left in the bottom. A good trick is to add a note to the label of the date you bought them, and then after six months, which is when most dried spices lose their oomph. Return them to the rack in alphabetical order, making retrieval much easier.
The Clutter is almost gone – You CAN do it!
Pull all those cans and boxes of food out of cupboards and reorganize them. Some things get shoved to the back over time, and you end up with multiples. Who needs three cans of baby beets? If it's still good but you really are never going to eat it, give to the food bank.
If you need help, remember, we are always just a call or email away. We can provide free estimates on all of your cleaning needs, from entire office buildings to single rooms in your home. Keep coming back for our cleaning tips and suggestions for home and work!

Bundle of holding have a couple of offers up just now for Ars Magica, the magical fantasy RPG from Atlas Games. It was originally published by Lion Rampant and then by my beloved White Wolf. Indeed, it was created by Mark Rein-Hagen, who also created Vampire: The Masquerade and, with it, the World of Darkness. What a pedigree!
Bundle of Holding have two bundles at the moment. One should be considered the 'core' bundle, whilst the second goes into detail on Mythic Europe.
The first bundle was originally put out a few years ago and has been re-released a few times, since. The first tier of the bundle – priced at $14.95 – contains the core rulebook and a few supplements. The rulebook is really nicely put together – I have the physical copy sitting next to me as I type this! Of the supplements included in this tier, the True Lineages book and the Apprentices book are the most interesting. Apprentices lets you start out at a lower magical ability, as an apprentice or child. The True Lineages book outlines four hermetic houses, along with just more content such as magic, flaws, virtues and rules for undertaking research.
The second tier of this bundle is priced on a threshold that is currently sitting at $25.78. It includes a further five books. The two Houses of Hermes books expand on the Hermetic Houses, whilst the Broken Covenant gives you a pre-made adventure to play through with your group. This tier, though not essential, does add a lot more content for you to use in your games.
The first bundle is pretty solid, but it doesn't have anything new. It gives the same books that the old bundle did and so there's nothing there for those who have already bought into this game.
As with the first bundle, the second tier of this offer is priced on a threshold. At the time of writing, this threshold is $27.23. As with the first tier, this one consists of four supplements, each further fleshing out the setting. I'm particularly interested in Antagonists, which gives you well-defined and developed villains for your stories, and Grogs, which helps to flesh out minor characters in your games.
Whereas the first tier of this bundle is about the setting, the second is focused more on the characters who live there. Between the two tiers you've actually got a really strong, fleshed-out setting, vibrant with interesting organisations and characters.
As usual, part of the proceeds of this bundle will go to a charity. In this case, some of your money will go to Doctors Without Borders – a very worthwhile cause!
If you're interested in picking up one or both of these bundles, you can click here to visit the first, 'core' bundle or you can go ahead and click here to visit the second bundle, on Mythic Europe.
If you do pick it up, let me know! Or if you have already played Ars Magica, also let me know, as I've got my copy here, but have not been able to play it yet. Would love to hear about the experiences of others.

Sharp increase in violations of religious freedom worldwide
BUDAPEST (27 November 2018) – From 27 to 28 November, the 11th Budapest Human Rights Forum is taking place in the Hungarian capital. Recognizing the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the event focuses on current human rights violations across the globe. The two-day conference is dedicating one of its three panel discussions to the protection of religious minorities and freedom of religion. Amongst the speakers are Fernand de Varennes, UN Special Rapporteur for Minority Issues, Tristan Azbej, Hungarian Secretary of State for the Aid of Persecuted Christians, and Paul Coleman, Executive Director of ADF International.
"No-one should be persecuted because of their faith. Beginning with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the international community has woven freedom of religion into the fabric of international law and freedom of religion is now recognized almost universally. At the same time, we see the persecution of religious minorities on the rise across the globe. The recent treatment of Asia Bibi serves as a telling example, though there are sadly countless others," said Paul Coleman, who will address the current state of religious freedom across the globe at the Forum.
Religious freedom in particular need of protection
The conference highlights some of the attacks on religious freedom worldwide and calls for greater action by the international community. The Forum will address issues such as the role of education in the protection and promotion of human rights, increasing the efficiency of the UN Human Rights Council, and the protection of religious minorities.
"As we move forward in protecting the rights of religious minorities, we must recognize that unjust laws preventing the free exercise of religion, must be repealed or modified. Those countries most dedicated to being beacons for religious freedom must lead the way," said Coleman.
ADF International is commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration with the I'm Human, Right? campaign and The Geneva Statement. Supported by tens of thousands of signatures the campaign urges the international community to uphold the fundamental right to life, family, and religious freedom, as recognized by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

William Carey cheerleader drains an unbelievable back-flip bomb.
Give William Carey University cheerleader Ashley Arnau credit. What many skeptics initially suspected was a cleverly doctored viral ad campaign—for Coke, maybe?—is, apparently, the real thing. Arnau has reportedly attempted the stunt at every WCU home game for the past two months. Last night, she finally sunk it.

Q: Migrating an ASP.NET app to Java I'm trying to migrate a small ASP.NET MVC 2 app to Java on Tomcat 6. I know the basics of JSPs and servlets. I don't know any MVC Java web framework. So I'm trying to determine how to proceed in a way that will keep the migration effort to a minimum. I know I'll have to rewrite the app in Java but how do I map ASP.NET concepts to Java world? What Java web framework should I choose given my lack of experience and my deadline of 4 weeks from now? What's the most agile way to go about this? Note that I can't use Grails or JRuby or anything like that. This port must be done using standard Java web frameworks. I also won't have admin access on the production Tomcat server that this will eventually deployed to.
Are there any migration guide that would be useful? Among other things, I need to understand how best to rewrite the security [current using ASP.NET profiles] and database access [currently using LINQ].
A: Why "This port must be done using standard Java web frameworks"? Is it your boss' requirement?
If really so then it looks like you have not much choice. Strictly speaking a "standard" framework is the one supported by Oracle. Below is what I found on oracle site: http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/bnadp.html
It looks like currently only JSF is mentioned and thus recommended. I recall more technologies were recommended before?

A: As far as I know, Scooter framework is a rapid web application development framework which just requires developers to know basic JSP/Servlet and MVC concepts. Since your deadline is only 4 weeks away, you can try it. It comes with many examples. See the Hello World example and Blog example. The downside is it may not support LINQ. It does support Oracle, MySQL and PostgreSQL.
