Dental implants are a bespoke treatment used to replace missing teeth. A dental implant is made of titanium and is designed to replace the root of the tooth. Attached to this is a porcelain crown. Implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or several missing teeth. It can even be used to support a full denture. Although they have a high success rate of more than 95%, correct treatment planning is crucial to ensuring long term success and stability of the implant supported prosthesis. Planning is complex and strong considerations are given to the amount of bone, quality of gums, oral hygiene and the occlusion (how your teeth bite together). A sound understanding of these aspects and more is what ensures optimal aesthetics are achieved. All these factors are considered when creating a quote for your dental implant cost. Payment plans are available to facilitate you receiving the treatment you desire. Dental implants have created a paradigm shift in dentistry and have fast become the high-end alternative to false teeth. The blending of science, biology and art to create incredibly beautiful, long-lasting aesthetic restorations. If you have missing teeth, click here to book a personal consultation with Dr Khan.

Justia Patents Tortuous PathUS Patent for Disposable fluid filters Patent (Patent # 4,334,994) Disposable fluid filters Dec 21, 1978 - Fleetguard, Inc. A disposable, oil filter cartridge is described. The cartridge comprises a shell of circular outline within which a stack of interconnected filter discs of octagonal outline are held in preloaded, compressed condition by an end cap attached to the outer, or open, end of the shell. The stack of filter elements has a plurality of tortuous passageways through which oil flows and is discharged, after filtration, centrally of the stack of filter elements, through the end cap. A compression spring maintains the integrity of the tortuous passageways which might otherwise be lost due to the expected reduction in thickness of the filter elements during use. A second embodiment of the invention illustrates a similar cartridge in which the filter discs are of hexagonal outline which facilitates their fabrication from a sheet of filter material. Latest Fleetguard, Inc. Patents: Exhaust Venturi apparatus, system, and method Apparatus, system, and method for regenerating an exhaust gas treatment device Acid-neutralizing filter media Precat-NOx adsorber exhaust aftertreatment system for internal combustion engines Centrifuge rotor-detection oil-shutoff device The present invention relates to improvements in filters of the so-called stacked disc type which remove particulate matter from fluids passed therethrough, and more particularly to disposable, or "throw-away" cartridge filters of this type. The present invention is particularly directed towards providing a low cost, disposable oil filter for internal combustion engines. While disposable oil filters have long been used for internal combustion engines, particularly in relatively small gasoline engines for automobiles, their introduction into the market place for larger engines and Diesel engines in particular has been relatively recent. One reason for that is that, for the most part, Diesel engines require a larger volume of oil fuel flow and, in many cases, operate in an environment which requires a capacity to filter greater amounts of particulate material than in the usual gasoline engine which powers an automobile. In this connection it should be noted that, for Diesel engines, the so-called stacked disc filter has demonstrated itself to be superior in most engine applications. A stacked disc filter is characterized by a plurality of discs of filter material assembled in stacked relation within a shell. The filter cartridge has entry posts through which oil passes to surround the exterior of the stack of filter discs. The oil then flows, by way to tortuous passageways through the stack of discs and through the thickness of the filter material to a central passageway from which the filtered oil is discharges. Stacked disc filters are well known to those skilled in the art and have been proposed in many different forms, primarily varying in the manner in which the tortuous passageway means are formed. In usual practice, the stack of filter discs is separately assembled. That is the stack of discs is a separate sub-assembly which is held in compression by bolts or the like prior to being inserted into the cartridge shell. In some cases the filter is a disposable cartridge and in other cases the design is such that the stacks of discs is replaceable. The primary object of the present invention is to provide an improved, disposable oil filter cartridge of the stacked disc type which is not only less expensive, but meets the functional requirements of such oil filters, particularly as are used on larger, heavy duty Diesel engines. A further object of the invention is to provide an improved assembly of filter elements which can be economically produced and are readily assembled into the shell of a filter cartridge. Another object of the invention is to achieve the above ends and more particularly to provide an improved filter cartridge which retains its effectiveness over a long period of use. The foregoing objects are attained in accordance with the broader aspects of the invention by a filter cartridge comprising a shell of circular outline having an end plate which is attached to the open end of the shell and pre-loads in compression a stack of filter elements, or discs, against the bottom of the shell. The stack of filter elements is of polygonal outline and has a plurality of tortuous passageways through which the fluid flows, through the thickness of the filter elements to a central discharge passageway. The stack of filter elements forms a sub-assembly which is preferably of hexagonal outlet for economical fabrication from a sheet of filter material. This sub-assembly is readily assembled in the shell of the cartridge and cooperates therewith to define longitudinal fluid flow passages. Preferably, the filter discs are formed in pleated "paper doll" fashion and have apple-shaped cut outs arranged in sequential, rotated relationship to each in the stack of discs, to provide the tortuous passageways, as is more fully set forth hereinafter. Another preferred feature is found in the provision of a compression spring between the bottom of the stacked filter discs and the bottom of the cartridge shell. This spring maintains the several filter discs in compressed relation, one against the other to prevent fluid flow therebetween as the filter material tends to compress and have a lesser thickness over an extended period of use. The above and other related objects and features of the invention will be apparent from a reading of the following description of a preferred embodiment thereof wherein reference is made to the accompanying drawings, and the novelty thereof pointed out in the appended claims. FIG. 1 is an elevation, with portions broken away and in section, of a filter embodying the present invention; FIG. 2 is a top view of the filter seen in FIG. 1; FIG. 3 is a section taken on line 3--3 in FIG. 1; FIG. 8 is a view, on a reduced scale, of the filter element employed herein, in its unfolded or strip condition; FIG. 10 is a section taken on line 10--10 in FIG. 4; FIG. 12 is an elevation with portions broken away and in section of an alternate embodiment of the invention; FIG. 13 is a section taken on line 13--13 in FIG. 12; FIG. 15 is a view, on a reduced scale, of the filter element employed in the alternate embodiment of the invention, in tis unfolded or strip condition; and FIG. 16 is a plan view, on a further reduced scale, of a sheet of filter material, illustrating the manner in which filter elements are cut therefrom. Referencing first FIGS. 1 and 2, the disposable fluid filter cartridge of the present invention is designated by reference character 20. The general configuration of the cartridge 20 is well known and particularly adapted to be attached to the block of a Diesel internal combustion engine. When so connected, the filter cartridge becomes a part of the engine lubrication system. Oil flows to the filter cartridge, is filtered and then discharged to the lubrication distribution system, all in a fashion well known to those skilled in the art, though varying in details from engine manufacturer and between engines of different design. The filter cartridge 20 comprises a shell 22, an end cap 24 and a stack of filter elements 26. The end cap 24 is held in place on the outer end of the shell 22 by a sheet metal ring 28 which has a rolled rim 30 sealingly gripping the outer end of the shell 22. The filter cartridge 20 is connected to the engine block by threading a central hub 32, formed on the end cap 24, onto a pipe (not shown) provided on the engine. As this is done a gasket 34 carried by the ring 28 sealingly engages an oil cavity on the engine. Oil then flows into the cartridge 20 through ports 36 formed in the end cap 24 and fills the shell 22, surrounding the stack of filter elements 26. The stack of filter elements 26 has a plurality of tortuous passageways, later described in detail, which cause the oil to pass through the thickness of the filter elements to obtain a highly efficient filtering of the oil. The filtered oil flows to a central passageway extending lengthwise of the stack of filter elements 26 and is discharged from the cartridge 20 through the central hub 32. Oil flow through the cartridge 20 is generally indicated by arrows in FIG. 1. The stack of filter elements 26 is initially formed as a continuous strip of die cut filter material economically formed by a rotary die cutting machine. A portion of such die cut strip is illustrated in FIG. 8. It will be seen that the individual filter elements 26 are of octagonal outline and that the individual discs are connected to each other at their adjacent sides, which sides are defined by score lines 38 which are alternately formed on opposite sides of the strip. Each of the discs 26 has four equi-angularly spaced apple-shaped openings 40 which have stems 42 and 44 alternately extending inwardly and outwardly within the confines of the disc. On the sides of the discs between the apple-shaped openings 40, inlet slots 46 are formed. Each disc 26 is also provided with a central opening 48 having four discharge slots 50 extending outwardly between the apple-shaped openings 40 and towards the inlet slots 46. It will also be seen that the pattern of openings and slots is angularly offset, or rotated, 45.degree. from one disc 26 to the next. From the strip of filter material formed as described, the stack of filter discs is readily assembled by folding the strip in "paper doll" fashion into a stack comprising the desired number of filter elements. The discs, when folded into stacked relation, remain interconnected by what are, in effect, hinges 47 formed by the score lines 38, as is indicated in FIGS. 4-7. When so folded the apple-shaped openings define chambers closed at top and bottom by the filter material of the next adjacent discs. Oil flows into two of such chambers in a given disc by way of the inlet slots in the adjacent discs which are registered with the outwardly projecting "apple stems" 44. From these chambers the oil flows through the thickness of the next adjacent discs and into chambers defined by apple-shaped having inwardly projecting "stems" 42. These stems register with the discharge slots 50 formed in the next adjacent discs and provide for flow of the filtered oil to the central passageway which is compositely formed by the openings 48. The foregoing description of the tortuous flow passageways is further illustrated in FIGS. 4-7 and 9-11 wherein arrows are provided to indicate oil flow directions. The stack of filter elements 26 is confined between plates 52 and 54 at its upper and lower ends respectively. The plate 52 has downturned tabs 53 which embrace the upper portion of the stack of filter elements on alternate sides of its octagonal configuration, thereby positioning the end plate relative to the stack. Similarly, the lower end plate 54 has upbent tabs 55 which embrace alternate sides of the lower portion of the stack to position it relative thereto. This arrangement facilitates assembly of the stack of filter elements into the shell 22. Thus the assembly of filter elements 26 and end plates 52, 54 may simply be inverted on a fixture and will be generally stable due to the lateral stability provided by the end plate tabs and hinged connections between the individual elements 26. A shell 22 may then be simply telescoped downward over this assembly and with the other components properly in place, the rim 30 secured. When assembled, the stack is centralized within the shell 22 by the unbent portions of the end plates 52, 54 which have diameters approximating the interior diameter of the shell at the upper and lower ends as will be apparent from FIGS. 3 and 7. At the same time, from FIGS. 1 and 3, it will be noted that the downbent tabs 53 of the upper end plate 52 provide flow passageways for oil to enter the shell 22 and surround the stack of filter elements 26. In this connection it will also be seen that the end cap 24 has a downwardly projecting annular seat 56 which engages the upper end plate 52. This allows for free flow of oil through the ports 36 and at the same time seals the incoming oil from the filtered oil being discharged from the cartridge by way of the central passageway in the stack of filter elements and an opening 58 in the end plate 52 which is registered therewith. The octagonal outline of the filter elements not only contributes to the facility of assembling the cartridge, but, in combination with the circular outline of the shell 22 forms longitudinal passageways for the flow of oil to the entrances 46 for the tortuous passageways through the filter elements. When the shell 22 is telescoped over the remaining components of the cartridge seen in FIG. 1, a relatively high compressive load is exerted to compress the filter elements, first against a spring 60 disposed between the lower end plate 54 and the recessed lower end of the shell and positioned by a cone 62 projecting downwardly from the end plate 53. This compressive load is applied until the spring bottoms and is continued to further compress the filter elements as the lower end plate 54 engages the lower end of the shell as indicated. The amount of compressive load required is well known to those skilled in the art. With the compressive load still being maintained, the assembly is then processed by a conventional seaming machine to form the crimped rim 30 on the ring 28 and secure it to the upper end of the shell 22. Reference is next made to FIGS. 12-15 for a description of an alternate embodiment of the invention which is distinguished from the first embodiment just described, primarily by the hexagonal outline of its filter element. Referencing FIGS. 12-14 in particular, the alternate disposable filter cartridge is identified by reference character 120 and is likewise adapted to be attached to the block of a Diesel internal combustion engine for purposes of filtering the oil of the engine. The filter cartridge 120 comprises a shell 122 and end cap 124 and a stack of filter elements 126. The end cap 124 is held in place on the outer end of the shell 122 by sheet metal ring 128 which has a rolled rim 130 similarly gripping the outer end of the shell 122. A threaded central hub 132 is formed on the end cap 124 to provide for connection of the cartridge 120 with the engine, as before. Similarly, a gasket 134 seals the oil entry connection from the engine block. Oil flows into the cartridge 120 through ports 136 formed in the end cap 128 to fill the shell 122 which surrounds the stack of filter elements 126. The stack of filter elements 126 is formed with a plurality of tortuous passageways which causes the oil to pass through the thicknesses of the filter elements, obtaining a highly efficient filtering action. The filtered oil, similarly, flows to a central passageway and is discharged from the cartridge 120 through the hub 132 as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 12. The stack of filter elements 126 is formed from a continuous strip of die cut, individual, hexagonal filter elements which are connected to each other at their adjacent sides. These sides are defined by score lines 138, formed alternately of opposite sides of the strip, reference also FIG. 15. Each of the elements or discs 126 has three equi-angularly spaced apple-shaped openings 140, which have stems 142 or 144 projecting respectively inwardly and outwardly from the openings 140. Inlet slots 146 are formed in the sides of each disc between the openings 140. Each disc is also provided with a triangle-shaped, central opening 148 having discharge slots 150, at its corners which are registerable with the inwardly extending stems 142, of an opening 140 in an adjacent disc 126. It will be seen that in die cutting the filter discs, the inlet slots are formed by removal of a tab 151 which remains attached to the sides of the discs adjacent to the openings 140. The tabs 151 are left attached in this fashion simply to reduce the amount of scrap in fabricating the filter elements. From such a strip of filter material, as illustrated in FIG. 15, a stack of filter elements is readily assembled by folding in "paper doll" fashion into a stack comprising the desired number of filter elements. Flow of fluid, through the filter elements 126, form the openings 146 to the central passageway comprised of the several openings 148, through the thicknesses of the discs is, in essence, the same described in connection with the stack of filter elements 26, above. The stack of filter elements 126 is confined between plates 152 and 154 which are disposed at its upper and lower ends respectively. The plate 152 has down turned tabs 153 which engage the upper portion of the stack of filter elements on alternate sides of its hexagonal outline to thus be positioned laterally relative to the stack of filter elements. Similarly the lower end plate 154 has up bent tabs 155 which engage alternate sides of the lower portion of the stack of filter elements 126 to position it laterally of the stack. This arrangement similarly facilitates assembly of the stack of filter elements 126 into the shell 122. Thus, for example, the stack of filter elements 126, with the end plates 152 and 154 in place may be positioned on a fixture with the plate 152 to the bottom. A spring 160 may then be positioned on top of the plate 154 and then the shell 122 telescoped downwardly over this sub assembly to compress both the filter elements 126 and spring 160. The end cap 124 may be added and held in place by the addition of the ring 128 in a similar fashion. It will also be seen that the upper end plate 152 is provided with outwardly projecting tabs 162, which facilitate positioning of the stack of filter elements, and particularly the upper end thereof, centrally within the shell 122. The advantages of the first filter cartridge 22, above described are likewise found in the filter cartridge 122. This is particularly to be noted in that the polygonal outline of the filter elements functions alone or in combination with the end caps 152, 154 to facilitate assembly of and in positioning the stack of filter elements within the shell 122. At the same time, the straight sides of the outline of the filter elements and the circular outline of the shell, provide flow paths for the oil to flow the several openings 146 for the tortuous passageways through the stack of filter elements, and eventually through the filtered passageways back to the engine. A further advantage of the hexagonal outline of the filter elements 126 is that they can be more economically formed from a strip of filter material, illustratively shown in FIG. 16. This sheet of filter material is identified by reference character "F" and for representative purposes is illustrated with a width sufficient to provide five, filter element forming strips. Because of the hexagonal outline of the filter elements they may be nested so that there is no waste filler material between the strips. The only waste material form the sheet will be along its edges and, of course, the portions which have to be removed to form the openings 140. There are several advantages to both of the above described stack of filter elements. The tortuous passageways thereby provided, in addition to being highly efficient in providing effective filtration over an extended period of time are formed in such a way that there are portions of filter material which extend in solid relationship throughout the length of the stack. That is, viewed in composite, the openings and slots do not extend over the entire area of discs, leaving structural "columns" of filter material extending lengthwise of the stack. Thus it is possible to exert a substantial compressive load on the stack to preserve the integrity of the tortuous passageways without impairing the integrity of these passageways. Another advantage in the strip arrangement is that proper registration of the several discs is assured. Thus there is no possibility that one disc would be rotated to allow a portion of the oil to bypass the proper measure of filtration or to block oil flow through a portion of the stack of filter elements. Further, the hinge connections, between the discs, prevent lateral offset of the discs relative to each other. A further advantage of the hinged connections between adjacent discs, is that the discs are more readily maintained in stacked relationship during their assembly into the filter cartridge. The assembly of either stack of filter elements is further facilitated by the diameter of the shell, 22 or 122, being somewhat greater at its upper end while its inner, lower end diameters approximates the maximum cross wise dimension of the filter elements. This minimizes the accuracy required in initially aligning a shell to telescope over a stack of filter elements. The shell is guided into alignment with the stack as it is telescoped thereover and, then the upper end of the stack is centralized either by the unbent portions of the end plate 52 or the tabs 162 of the end plate 152. In each case the polygonal outline of the filter elements combines with the circular outline of the shell to define the inlet flow passages to the filter elements. A further point to note in connection with both embodiments is that, even with the high compressive preload applied to the filter elements, they have a tendency to lose thickness during use. The spring 60 or 160 provides additional and continued compressive loading on the stack of filter elements so that even with a loss in disc thickness the filter elements are held in firm contact with each other and the integrity of the tortuous passageways maintained. The filter material itself may be any one of several available materials which are well known to be suitable for the purposes herein described. The filter elements 26 or 126 are described as integral components of a disposable filter cartridge. However, it will be apparent that filter elements so stacked and configured could also be advantageously employed alone or in combination with the described end plates as replacements where the remaining elements of the cartridge are not to be disposed of. While a disposable oil filter cartridge, and replacement sub assembly therefor particularly adapted for use in Diesel internal combustion engines has been described herein, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that filters for other application and other fluid mediums could be devised within the spirit and scope of the present inventive concepts, which are therefore to be derived from the following claims. 1. A disposable fluid filter cartridge comprising, an elongated shell of generally circular cross section having an integral closed end, closure means sealingly connected to the open end of said shell, a stack of porous filter elements disposed within said shell, rigid end plates at opposite ends of said stack of filter elements, said stack of filter elements having a polygonal outline with the corners thereof in contiguous relation with the interior of said shell, thereby defining fluid flow passageways along the length of the stack of filter discs between the sides thereof and the interior of said shell, said end plates having tabs extending into embracing relation with the end portions of said stack of filter elements, said tabs embracing a plurality of the polygonal sides of said stack and having edge portions engageable with the interior surfaces of said shell to laterally position said stack within said shell while providing lengthwise flow passages for the fluid, said stack of filter elements having, on its exterior surface, a plurality of entrances, a central discharge passageway and a plurality of tortuous passageways connecting said entrances, by way of flow through the thickness of said elements, with said central passageway, said closure means having at least one inlet port through which fluid passes to surround the exterior of said stack of filter elements and an outlet port in fluid communication with the central passageway of stack of filter elements for the discharge of filtered fluid from said cartridge, said filter cartridge being further characterized in that the closure means holds the stack of filter elements in compressed relation by engagement with one of said end plates and exerting a compressive force through said stack and the other of said end plates which engages the closed end of said shell, thereby maintaining the integrity of said tortuous passageways. 2. A disposable fluid filter cartridge as in claim 1 wherein the closed end of said shell is recessed and a compression spring is disposed in said recess and maintains a compressive force on said stack of filter elements to thereby maintain the integrity of the tortuous passageways therethrough as the thickness of the filter elements is reduced during use. the filter elements are interconnected one to another by a scored portion of the filter material, thereby facilitating their being maintained in stacked relation during fabrication of the filter cartridge. each filter element has a plurality of apple-shaped openings with stems extending alternately inwardly and outwardly within the outline of the filter elements, and, between said apple-shaped openings there are provided inlet slots extending inwardly from the outer perimeter of the element and discharge slots extend outwardly from a central opening which is a portion of the central discharge passageway of the stack of filter elements, said openings and slots being angularly offset from one filter element to another in the stack of filter elements to thereby form said tortuous passageways. the upper end portion of the shell has a somewhat greater diameter than its lower end portion, the filter elements are interconnected one to another by a scored portion of the filter material, whereby assembly of the filter elements into the shell is further facilitated while maintaining the filter elements centrally within the shell upon completion of such assembly. the filter elements have a hexagonal outline. 2359475 October 1944 Gauthier 2836302 May 1958 Buckman 2856076 October 1958 Whipple 3425563 February 1969 Wilansky 3481472 December 1969 Petri 3690460 September 1972 Lindboe 817906 October 1951 DEX Filed: Dec 21, 1978 Date of Patent: Jun 15, 1982 Assignee: Fleetguard, Inc.

Although several extenuating circumstances factored into this absurd deficit – and might lead to another one in FY20 – it'd be inexcusable for UConn Athletics to continue sporting such a nasty deficit. An exponential rise in annual operating expenses looms large. A 2017 University Budget Committee report noted that "between 2005 and 2017, expenditures for the AD grew 70% from $47 million to $80 million." This falls in line with 2019's total of $79,070,708 in operating expenses, which is due to increase by approximately $1 million in 2020, according to the University Senate. Such circumstances have forced UConn to provide a greater subsidy to its athletics department, contributing nearly $36 million in 2019. While said university subsidy – in conjunction with student fees – has offset the deficit somewhat, it isn't a sustainable solution to UConn Athletics' budgetary issues. Many factors can be attributed to this predicament. Chief among them is UConn's affiliation with the American Athletic Conference (AAC), which has reduced TV revenue and increased recruiting, travel and game expenses significantly. UConn's recently fired coaches, particularly those of its football and men's basketball teams, have exacerbated the university's athletics budget woes via severance packages and an arbitration case, respectively. Ticket sales have also been dropping, although this appears to be an issue for college sports nationwide. Despite such setbacks, UConn Athletics has great potential to avoid trouble moving forward. For one, UConn hopes to reduce its AD subsidy, which is one of the highest among NCAA-eligible institutions, within the next few years. The university's return to the Big East, which'll incur additional short-term expenses, should attract more TV revenue and alleviate operating expenditures. And barring unforeseen circumstances, UConn shouldn't have to buy out any more high-profile coaches within the near future. According to a university statement, "Athletics-related donations increased 42% between FY18 and FY19 (from $10.4 million to $14.4 million) … While FY 20 projections point to athletics requiring a similar amount of University support, we project that athletics revenue will increase and we will be in a much improved situation financially in FY 21." Before long, UConn Athletics should stop dropping the ball and get it rolling in money once again.

Your précis should be emailed to me by 8 am the morning you will present the memo. I create a file of the memos for that day and email them to be copied so memos received after 8 am will not make the copy order and you will not receive full credit. Please create and save your document as a Word file, without any formatting. At the top of the document, center the title of the article you will write on and your name. The rest of the document should be 1 or 1.5 spaced (not double spaced) in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font with no page numbering. Do not include a heater, footer or any other document formatting. I edit your document and cut and paste it with others so the document needs to be clean without any odd margins, formats, or other issues. Documents that contain such formatting will be docked in the grade given for not following these technical instructions. Along with your analysis and summary, you should include at least 3 questions to provoke class discussion. These may be included in the narrative of your document or you may set them off at the end. The précis is at best a well-reasoned, thoughtful analysis which brings issues to light and raises questions about the reading and how it connects or disconnects with other readings/ideas discussed in the course. It is not the place to engage in heavy criticism or attempts to undermine theorists or their ideas which would be impossible to do given the limited scope of the assignment. It is also not a book report or a summary, we can all read, a précis isn't the place to present lengthy quotes or outline the reading. These are low level tasks to be done on one's own to prepare and review. It is also appropriate to raise ideas you are exploring in your other class, recent events or other ideas that seem related. Try to have fun with it and allow yourself the time to ponder what you are writing, revise and reframe.

Angela Grant Plant-Based Ethnopharmacological Remedies for Hypertension in Suriname By Dennis R.A. Mans, Angela Grant and Nicholaas Pinas Hypertension is the most important modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, and renal diseases which are together among the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality in the world. Despite the availability of a wide range of effective medicines, many individuals suffering from hypertension use plant-derived preparations for treating their disease. The choice for these alternatives is often associated with the closer relationship of such approaches to specific social, cultural, and religious perceptions about health and disease. However, in most cases, the scientific evidence for clinical efficacy of such medications is scant. The Republic of Suriname is a middle-income country in South America with a relatively high prevalence of hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. This country harbors descendants of all continents, all of whom have preserved their cultural customs including their ethnopharmacological traditions. As a result, many Surinamese are inclined to treat their diseases including hypertension as they have done for centuries, that is, with plant-based preparations. This chapter has compiled the plants used for treating hypertension in Suriname; extensively evaluates 15 commonly used plants for potential efficacy on the basis of available phytochemical, mechanistic, preclinical, and clinical literature data; and closes with conclusions about their potential usefulness against the disease.

'Thirsty' for More B-52 pilot logs historic 10,000 flying hours in B-52 Bomber March 16, 2017 in Defense When he first began his U.S. Air Force career, Lt. Col. Steven R. "Thirsty" Smith never expected to be flying the Boeing B-52 Bomber, let alone flying it for 30 years. Yet on March 3, 2017, he exceeded more than 10,000 flight hours in the iconic bomber, more than any other aviator currently serving in the Air Force. In fact, it's a milestone that has not been accomplished since the Vietnam era. With 496 combat hours beginning during Operation Desert Storm, Lt. Col. Smith describes the B-52 as a solid jet he will enjoy flying for several more years. Now an instructor with the 93rd Bomb Squadron, he's training the next generation who will fly the aircraft into the future. Because the United States Air Force and Boeing are partnering to modernize and transform the B-52 for today's flight, the aircraft, with accomplished pilots like Thirsty Smith at the controls, will continue to serve as the backbone of the nuclear and conventional bomber force for many years to come, to 2050 and beyond. Lt. Col. Steven Smith has been in the Air Force for 30 years. He recently celebrated his 10,000th flight hour in the B-52 at Barksdale Air Force Base, in Louisiana.

L'Aimant was created for François Coty by Vincent Roubert. Roubert had become Coty's lab director in 1923 and had absorbed much of Coty's thinking about perfume. L'Aimant was a solid success and it is said that the wife of Jacques Guerlain — creator of Shalimar and one of the all time great perfumers — prefered L'Aimant over her husband's more complex creations.

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?

Why Support Israel? News from the Land Nahala (Inheritance) Heartland Stories Reflections from Israel Word to the Nations Children and Youth Projects Emergency and Security Projects Support our Israel Office Heartland Highlight Seasonal Projects Meet Israeli Pioneers Meet Christian Zionists Settlement Map Visit Judea and Samaria Interesting Presentations 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 © 2017 All rights reserved. Christian Friends of Israeli Communities About CFOIC Heartland Christian Friends of Israeli Communities was established in 1995, in response to the Oslo Process, which ceded land to the Palestinian Authority in the heart of Biblical Israel.

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.

Carmen Skarulpka contributed to this report. 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);

You are here: Home / Profiles / Interviews / A Mix of Sarah Bareilles Meets Adele: Interview with Up-and-Coming Singer Samantha Aurelio 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.

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 *the length of the horizontal line and the length of the vertical line of the arrow (and whether the vertical line goes upwards or downwards) *and the position of the text node (whether right or left of the vertical line and vertical alignment of text node with the top or bottom. \documentclass[twoside, openright, 10pt]{book} \usepackage{listings} \usepackage{tikz} \usetikzlibrary{arrows.meta, tikzmark} \begin{document} \chapter{TiKz} \begin{lstlisting}[caption={[MeetKarel]{MeetKarel}}, label={lst:meet_karel}, escapechar=ß] import stanford.karel.Karel; public class MeetKarel extends Karel { public void run() { move(); move(); move(); ß\tikzmark{b}ßpickBeeper();ß\raisebox{2.6pt}{\tikzmark{a}}ß turnLeft(); move(); move(); turnLeft(); turnLeft(); turnLeft();ß\raisebox{2.6pt}{\tikzmark{c}}ß move(); putBeeper(); move(); } } \end{lstlisting} \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay] \draw([shift={(12ex,10ex)}] pic cs:a) ++ (0.05, 0) % shift just a little to the right % set inner and outer to 0 so that text is alighed with the beginning of the vertical line node[inner sep=0,outer sep=0, fill=yellow!80!black,text width=5cm, anchor= north west] {Shifted a little above so that the arrow head points to the middle of the line.}; \draw[thin, gray, arrows = {-Stealth[inset=0pt, angle=45:7pt]}] ([shift={(12ex,10ex)}] pic cs:a) -- ([shift={(12ex,0ex)}] pic cs:a) -- ([shift={(0ex,0ex)}] pic cs:a); \draw([shift={(12ex,-10ex)}] pic cs:c) ++ (0.05, -0.05) % shift just a little to the right and down % set inner and outer to 0 so that text is alighed with the beginning of the vertical line node[inner sep=0,outer sep=0, fill=yellow!80!black,text width=5cm, anchor= south west] {I want to align base line of this text to the `c` node nicely. }; \draw[thin, gray, arrows = {-Stealth[inset=0pt, angle=45:7pt]}] ([shift={(12ex,-10ex)}] pic cs:c) -- ([shift={(12ex,0ex)}] pic cs:c) -- ([shift={(0ex,0ex)}] pic cs:c); \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} 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.

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! Let's Get Personal: My Shower Care Routine a.k.a. Keepin' It PG!

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 | | 8 | boxa | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 2017-03-02 10:49:35 | | 9 | boxa | 2 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 | | 10 | boxa | 3 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 | | 11 | boxa | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 | | 12 | boxa | 5 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 | | 13 | boxa | 6 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 | | 14 | boxa | 7 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 2017-03-02 10:49:36 | +----+----------+---------+--------+----------+---------+---------------------+ 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 | +----+----------+---------+--------+----------+---------+---------------+---------------------+ | 7 | boxa | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 3 | 2017-03-02 10:49:35 | | 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 | | 11 | boxa | 4 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 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()

ANDP Loan Fund Policy & Engagement Neighbors Together Home South DeKalb NeighborWorks Week ASFPI 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.

Tag Archives: Wrestlemania 33 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. Brock LesnarGoldbergVince McmahonWrestlemania 33 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.

Tag Archives: Marian Hossa 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." Tagged as Chris Pronger, Marc Savard, Marian Hossa, philadelphia flyers, Roberto Luongo, Vancouver Canucks 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.

Place Beauvau (English: Beauvau Square) is a public square in the 8th arrondissement of Paris, at the intersection of the Rue du Faubourg-Saint-Honoré, Avenue de Marigny, Rue des Saussaies and Rue de Miromesnil. It is located in the La Madeleine neighbourhood, next to the Élysée Palace. Hôtel de Beauvau Place Beauvau is best known for the Hôtel de Beauvau, built by the architect Nicolas Le Camus de Mézières around 1770 for the prince, Charles Juste de Beauvau-Craon. In 1859, the Government of France purchased the building and installed the French governor-general of Algeria there. However, Victor Fialin, the duke of Persigny, who was Minister of the Interior under Napoleon III, arranged for his ministry to be moved from the Rue de Grenelle, in the 7th arrondissement, to this location. The Hôtel de Beauvau has housed the Ministry of the Interior since 1861; "Place Beauvau" is often used by French news-gathering organisations as shorthand for the ministry. The buildings to the north of the square are devoted to various services of the ministry. Nearby places of interest The Elysée Palace (Palais de l'Elysée), located on the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, is the official residence of the President of the French Republic, where the president's office is located, and the Council of Ministers meets. Important foreign visitors are hosted at the nearby Hôtel de Marigny (not a hotel in the English sense, but a palatial residence.)

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.

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"). Some text here is taken from a 1911 encyclopedia ...

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.

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.

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.

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? Christine Blasey Ford: "The laughter, the uproarious laughter between the two, and their having fun at my expense" https://t.co/x71KG2LMVL #KavanaughHearings pic.twitter.com/rqqEAOYYni — 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. Dean Gerken Joins the ABA in Calling for Further Investigation. pic.twitter.com/SYAsVHwsi7 — 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. Previous PostPrevious The best Buddhist music ever!

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.

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. Donald Moore Jeremy Eierman hit eight home runs for Vermont / Photo by Greg Bessette 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.

British based charity Team Kenya have named Lucy Bronze as their first ambassador. The 26-year-old is an English footballer plays for French club Olympique Lyonnais Féminin and England, primarily as a right-back. However she can play anywhere in the defence or midfield.

According to Team Kenya, Lucy is articularly interested in the charity's Brighter Futures project which is using football to tackle violence against women and girls.

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. Arke.com: Marketing Services vs. Products: Is There a Difference?

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.
