Monday Morning Coffey: U SPORTS Hockey's One-Year Wonders
Toronto,ON- When a player comes to U SPORTS to play Varsity Hockey and ostensibly also get an education, the typical idea is that they'll be committed to their program for at least four seasons (the amount of time it normally takes to get a bachelors degree). Oftentimes, players also stretch their degree to use the fifth year of eligibility they're granted. However, sometimes the opposite happens, a player comes to U SPORTS, only to move on within a year.
Today we try and answer the question: What is the best team we could make out of players who came into their program for one year only?
A couple ground rules for this exercise:
Players who were freshman in 2019-20 aren't eligible unless they have de-committed and moved on from their school for the 2020-21 season
Players who had a strong second season and left, no matter how few games they played in the first season don't count (so no Mikkel Aagaard and no Anthony Beauregard)
We are looking for two goaltenders, six defenders and twelve forwards
We are going to look back as far as possible but the direct info on U SPORTS hockey in general gets fuzzy after the early 2000's
Let's kick this U SPORTS Hockey History trip off with some goalies who found success in recent years.
Charlie Graham – Ryerson Rams/2016-17
(Ryerson Rams Athletics)
The Numbers: 16GP – 13-1-2 | 2.14 GAA | .924 SV%
How did he do?: After a five year OHL career split between Belleville, Hamilton and Sarnia, Graham stormed onto the scene at Ryerson in 2016-17 and took firm hold of the crease winning his first four starts in the blue and gold. He ultimately finished his one season at Ryerson with a 13-1-2 record, a 2.14 GAA and a .924 save percentage, earning an OUA Second Team All-Star nomination. He still holds the Ryerson single season GAA record.
What has happened since: 2016-17 was the last recorded hockey season of Graham's career so at the very least he went out with a strong season.
Logan Thompson – Brock/2018-2019
(Brock Badgers Athletics)
The Numbers: 24GP | 18-3-3 | 2.22 GAA | .934 SV%
How'd he do?: Thompson arrived in St. Catharines after four years with the WHL's Brandon Wheat Kings and immediately made an impact winning his first five starts. He went on to lead the OUA in wins and finish in the top three in GAA and SV%. The trophy case filled fast, winning the OUA West Rookie of the Year, OUA West Goalie of the Year, OUA First Team All-Star and OUA All-Rookie Team Honours, but no Queen's Cup as the Badgers, (who had made the final in 2018) were bounced 7-1 in Game Three of their OUA West Semifinal vs the Western Mustangs.
What happened after?: Thompson finished the rest of the 2019 season with the Adirondack Thunder of the ECHL before moving to the South Carolina Stingrays and having a strong 23-8-1 campaign which led to him receiving a two year entry level contract from the Vegas Golden Knights this past July.
John Vandenburg – Laurentian/1972-73
(HockeyDB)
The Numbers: 17GP | 7G| 17A | 24PTS
How'd he do?: Vandenburg took a long road to get to Laurentian. A five year career with the Peterborough Petes was followed by a year in the CPHL, a year in the AHL and two years in the IHL before landing in Sudbury. Once he got to Sudbury the talent that got in 74 points in 1967 on that Petes team was on display as he finished 3rd in team scoring. He helped guide Laurentian to 2nd in the OUA East with 23 points but was unable to topple the University of Toronto dynasty that picked up its 8th consecutive Queen's Cup in 1973.
What happened after?: Vandenburg wound down his career after his year in Laurentian, playing one final year in 1973/74 with the Toledo Hornets of the IHL with just two games of OHA Senior A hockey in 1977 serving as the last recorded games of his career.
Raymond Delarosbil – Moncton/1994-95
Raymond Delarosbil as Head Coach of St Georges Cool 103.5 FM in LNAH
The Numbers: 26GP | 7G | 24A | 31PTS
How'd he do?: Delarosbil came to Moncton after five years in the QMJHL including two years quarterbacking the powerplay of Chicoutimi and Drummondville respectively. When he reach Moncton he took over that quarterback position dishing a team high 27 assists. He helped star winger Jean Imbeau hit a team high 51 points and helped Moncton each their 8th AUS Title and first since 1990. At the U SPORTS Championships his strong play only continued which helped lead Moncton to their first National title since 1990.
What happened after?: Delarosbil had a long and winding career after his year in Moncton. He spent the next three seasons in the CHL, split a year between the UHL and the WPHL, spent five seasons in the QSPHL and then eight seasons in the LNAH. After hanging up the skates in 2012 he joined St Georges Cool 103.5 FM of the LNAH as Head Coach for one season.
Martin Roy – Ottawa/1994-95
How'd he do?: Roy came to Ottawa after three years in the QMJHL and instantly made an impact. His 28 points not only paced all defenders on the Gee-Gees but led the entire team in scoring.
What happened after?: Roy pushed on to semi-pro hockey after his year in Canada's capital. He spent parts of two seasons in the ECHL with the Richmond Renegades including 22 games in the IHL with the Manitoba Moose in 1997 before calling it a career.
Mike Byrd – Carleton/2009-10
(Carleton University Athletics)
The Numbers: 28GP | 14G | 11A | 25PTS
How'd he do: Byrd was a shrewd recruiting pickup for the Ravens in 2009. Not an OHL player he instead played for the Brockville Braves of the CCHL where as a defenseman he peaked at an incredible 111 points in 59 games the season prior to joing Carleton. When he got to the Ravens, the production didn't stop as he registered 25 points en route to finishing fourth on the Ravens in scoring.
What happened after?: Byrd spent most of the next two seasons in the FHL with the 1000 Island Privateers and included a six game cup of coffee in the SPHL with the Huntsville Havoc before hanging up the skates professionally.
Derek Holden – Laurier/2012-13
How'd he do?: Holden didn't put up a spectacular offensive season when he arrived at Laurier following five years with three OHL teams. He only registered 6 point in 15 games in first semester, but a strong run 9 points in 9 games in second semester capped off by a 1G 3A game vs Waterloo in Jan. 2013 helped establish Holden as a strong rookie force on the Golden Hawks blueline. It wouldn't be enough for Laurier though as they fell in the 1st Round of the 2013 OUA Playoffs to the Guelph Gryphons. For his strong rookie season Holden was given OUA West All-Rookie Team Honours
What happened?: After he left the Golden Hawks, according to his LinkedIn Holden left Laurier altogether and is last known working as a Sales Rep for TLCK Equipment in Lombardy, Ontario
Dominic Cormier – Ottawa/2019-20
(University of Ottawa)
How'd he do?: We close the defenders section with another Gee-Gee. Cormier arrived in Ottawa after four strong years with Rimouski and Victoriaville of the QMJHL. He made a solid contribution across the entire season peaking with a four game point streak in January where he tallied seven assists. OUA recognized him for his work with a spot on the OUA East All-Rookie Team for 2019-20.
What happened after?: Cormier's after has actually not happened yet but according to the Ottawa Gee-Gees signing tracker he has signed with the Reading Royals of the ECHL where he will continue his professional career.
Maurice Biron – Western Mustangs/1974-75
The Numbers: 17GP – 11G | 24A | 35PTS
How'd he do?: After two seasons in the German second division with Cologne and Duisberg where he scored 73 goals, Biron came to Western and managed to take over the scoring lead from at the time third year vet Peter Fraser. Western was not very successful in 1975, after finishing as finalists for the Queen's Cup in 1973, and 1974 they didn't make the final and had to watch the University of Toronto win another Queen's Cup.
What happened?: Maurice Biron's Hockeydb page says he played for the London Kings of the CSAHL in 1979 but it has no statistics so this is the last year we know of an example of the skill of Maurice Biron.
Don McLaren – York Yeomen/1984-85
How'd he do?: McLaren was actually a Vancouver Canucks draft pick, taken in the 9th Round, 179th overall in 1982. After four OHL seasons including a 113 point 1983-84 season with the Ottawa 67's on a team that also included current Boston Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy and NHLer turned fitness guru Gary Roberts, McLaren went to York. His incredible season helped lead the Yeomen to their first Queen's Cup victory beating the Western Mustangs.
What happened?: After leaving York, McLaren spent 1985-87 with the Canadian Men's National Team racking up 137 points in 136 games, 16 games with Moncton in the AHL in 1988 before bouncing around Switzerland and Germany for five more seasons before calling it a career.
Ken Petrash – Manitoba Bisons-1985-86
How'd he do? Petrash's season with the Bisons is the first season of his hockey career on hockeydb but before that he had a 135 point season with St Boniface Saints of the MJHL. He was strong in his one since in Manitoba as well leading the Bisons in assists and points. He wasn't able to take them to the Canada West championships however as they lost to the Calgary Dinos in the semi-final.
What happened after? Petrash bounced around Germany after leaving the Bisons. He played for six teams across eleven seasons and hit a peak with a career high 115 points playing for Regensburg in the German 2nd Division in 1997/1998.
Duane Dennis – Acadia/1993-94
How'd He Do: After an incredible three year career with the Vernon Lakers of the BCHL where he won two Mowat Cups, an Abbott Cup and a Doyle Cup, Dennis crossed Canada to join Acadia. He became the team's superstar with his 3 point per game and was award the Senator Joseph A Sullivan Trophy as Player of the Year at the end of the season.
What happened?: After his amazing season Dennis split the 1994/1995 season between the AHL and ECHL before moving on to Germany. He spent seven seasons in Germany including four with Riessersee SC of GerBun2, where he led them in scoring for three seasons.
Grady Manson – Brandon/1996-97
Thomas Friesen/Brandon Sun
How'd he do?: Manson arrived at the Brandon Bobcats after a strong five year career split between Moose Jaw and Tri-City of the WHL. He immediately made an impact, taking the team lead in points by 22 and recording the best season for a forward in the Bobcats program since 1990-91. His efforts were often for not as the Bobcats finished an anemic 5-21-2 but for his strong play Manson become the first and so far only Bobcat to win U SPORTS Men's Hockey Rookie of the Year in 1997.
What happened after?: Manson spent parts of the next four seasons bouncing around six different Central Hockey League teams. In a powerful article written by the Brandon Sun last month (Click Here) Manson detailed his battles with alcoholism whilst playing and subsequently afterwards, his life now sober and his new job at Wheat City Golf Course in Brandon.
Carl Mallette – Dalhousie/2002-03
Mallette spent three seasons as an Assistant Coach with the Victoriaville Tigers (QMJHL)
How'd he do?: Despite a strong five year career with the Victoriaville Tigers of the QMJHL which led to him being drafted 107th overall in 2000 by the NHL's Atlanta Thrashers, Mallette couldn't catch on with the organization and moved to Dalhousie in 2002. He immediately made an impact, pacing the Tigers with 20 goals which they rode to a 2nd place finish in the regular season and a first round bye. The magic wouldn't last in the playoffs as StFX upset them in three games including a 6-4 win in Dalhousie in Game Three.
What happened?: Mallette pushed onward with three strong ECHL seasons with Florida, Roanoke, and Greenville before moving across the Atlantic to spend six of the next seven seasons with Rouen in France until he hung up the skates professionally in 2012. He followed that up by spending three seasons as an Assistant Coach for the same Victoriaville Tigers that he played so well for years ago.
Mike Stathopoulos – Western/2003-04
How'd he do? In Western's second addition to this list, Stathopoulos joined the Mustangs after four strong seasons across town with the London Knights of the OHL. He joined a potent top six for Western that already included fifth year veteran Justin Davis (who matched Stathopoulos with 51 points) and fellow freshman Mike Rice who added 37 of his own. For his efforts he was award an OUA First Team All-Star slot and co-Rookie of the Year honours with UQTR's Pierre Luc Emond.
What happened?: Like many before and after him Stathopoulos left U SPORTS to join the ECHL. He put up two strong seasons with the Gwinnet Gladiators and the Columbia Inferno but that would be all for his professional hockey career.
Karl Gagne – Concordia/2005-06
Gagne with the Moncton Wildcats of the QMJHL in 2004 (QMJHL)
How'd he do? Gagne came to Concordia after three strong seasons in Moncton and one with the Quebec Remparts. He quickly became the cog in the Stingers offense, leading the team in goals and points but wasn't enough alone to carry the Stingers who finished last in their division with a 7-11-3-3 record.
What happened?: After leaving Concordia Gagne spent a season in the LNAH, followed by three years in Europe including a 101 point year in Italy, finishing with three more seasons in the LNAH with Thetford Mines Isothermic. He has happily moved on from hockey and is now the General Manager of Lévis, Quebec's Sheraton Hotel, as well as the city's convention and exposition centers.
Adam Chorneyko – Lethbridge/2009-10
Chorneyko during his junior career with the Saskatoon Blades (Saskatoon Blades)
How'd he do?: Chorneyko came to Lethbridge after a long five years in the WHL. He started slow with just two points in his first four games but a five point game vs UBC in Oct. 2009 cemented his place among the Canada West elite. He ended up 4th in league scoring and for his efforts won Canada West Rookie of the Year as well as got a place on the Canada West Second All-Star Team. His efforts unfortunately were not enough for the Pronghorns though who missed the playoffs finishing 5th in the league.
What happened?: Following his year in Lethbridge, Chorneyko moved on to spending parts of three seasons bouncing between the Central Hockey League (CHL) and the ECHL. He peaked with 32 points in 40 games for the Colorado Eagles of the CHL in 2010-2011.
Anthony DeLuca – Concordia Stingers/2016-17
How'd he do?: DeLuca wasn't exactly a fresh out of junior rookie as he spent the previous season in the ECHL with the Alaska Aces and Wichita Thunder, after scoring 101 goals in three season with the Rimouski Oceanic of the QMJHL. Nevertheless he joined Concordia and proceeded to show very quickly he was too good for the level. A 10 game point streak in first semester and a seven point game in second semester were just some of the strong moments in his season. His efforts were rewarded with an OUA First-Team All-Star and U SPORTS All-Rookie Team nomination as well as being named U SPORTS Rookie of the Year.
What's happened since?: DeLuca has managed to find success overseas. After leaving Concordia for a strong season in Denmark in 2017-2018, he crossed back over the Atlantic for a cup of coffee with the Brampton Beast of the ECHL and the Thetford Assurancia of the LNAH before landing in Britain with the Sheffield Stars. It is there that this past season DeLuca broke out for 47 points in 42 games to finish 3rd on the Stars in scoring.
Michael St Croix – Manitoba Bisons/2017-18
(Manitoba Bisons)
How'd he do?: Manitoba was the last stop on St Croix's career trajectory. After a five year career with the WHL's Edmonton Oil Kings and being drafted in the 4th round 106th overall by the Rangers in 2011 St Croix only managed a 13 game stint with the Hartford Wolfpack otherwise spending three seasons in Greenville of the ECHL. Thus he moved on to Manitoba and instantly took over. Three assists in his first game vs UBC showed he was ready to dominated and he ended up third in Canada West scoring.
What happened?: 2017-18 was St Croix's last season so just like Graham he went out with a strong campaign.
Jake Smith – Carleton Ravens/2018-19
What'd he do?: Not long ago in late 2018 Jake Smith took his first laps around the Carleton Ice House and then promptly spent a season dominating there. Leading the Ravens in goals and points, Smith put up a strong season including 20 points in 13 games at the Carleton Ice House. His strong season was reward with OUA East Rookie of the Year honours.
What happened?: Smith left Carleton to continue his professional career in 2019-2020 split on two sides of the Atlantic. First potting 30 points in 33 games with the Evansville Thunderbolts of the SPHL and then crossing the Atlantic to join the Rosenheim Star Bulls of the German Third Tier.
So here is our final lineup if I in my obviously infinite wisdom had to stack these talented players into lines.
Forwards:
Don McLaren (YRK) – Ken Petrash (MTB) – Duane Dennis (ACA)
Grady Manson (BRA) – Mike Stathopoulos (WES) – Maurice Biron (WES)
Anthony DeLuca (CNC) – Jake Smith (CAR) – Adam Chorneyko (LET)
Carl Mallette (DAL) – Michael St Croix (MTB) – Karl Gagne (CNC)
Mike Byrd (CAR) – Martin Roy (OTT)
Raymond Delarosbil (MON) – Dominic Cormier (OTT)
John Vandenburg (LAU) – Derek Holden (WLU)
Goalie:
Logan Thompson (BRK)
Charlie Graham (RYE)

Key Provisions of the Justice Department's Consent Order With ABInBev and SABMiller
October 24, 2016 admin Alcohol Regulation Guest Columns
Guest Column by Paul Pisano, NBWA
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has proposed a Final Judgment approving a settlement (Proposed Final Judgment or PFJ) between the DOJ, ABInBev (ABI) and SABMiller (SAB), which allowed the parties to consummate the largest beer industry merger in history. While the deal is already closed, the settlement agreement has not yet been finalized. The proposed settlement is now in the Tunney Act review process where interested parties and members of the public have submitted objections and questions to the DOJ regarding the language in the PFJ. The DOJ is required to respond to all public comments in a court filing with the United States District Court of the District of Columbia. Simultaneously with this filing, the DOJ will urge the court to approve the PFJ. Judge Emmitt Sullivan, the presiding judge over this matter, will ultimately decide whether to enter the final judgment as an order, reject the PFJ or require modifications to the PFJ before approving it. This process will likely play out in December 2016 or January 2017.
After review of comments received during the Tunney Act review process, the DOJ and/or the court could ultimately modify the PFJ, but for purposes of this article it is important for industry participants, local regulators, and the public to understand what the DOJ has done, what the PFJ requires and what the next steps will be.
Results of the DOJ Investigation
In its investigation of the merger, the DOJ looked at both traditional horizontal (supplier vs. supplier/market share) concerns and delved into vertical (distribution) concerns to more fully understand the competitive implications of the merger and how it would harm the U.S. beer market.
Based on the concern that the merger would eliminate head-to-head competition between the two largest beer brewers in the U.S., the PFJ requires ABI to divest all of SAB's equity and ownership stake in MillerCoors to Molson Coors. The DOJ's Competitive Impact Statement (CIS) states the "divestiture will not only maintain MillerCoors as an independent competitor, but will protect MillerCoors' competitiveness by giving MillerCoors…perpetual, royalty-free licenses to products….and ownership of the international rights to the Miller brands of beer."
The DOJ further examined and highlighted how independent beer distribution helps bring the diversity and variety of consumer selection via independent brewers and how ABI had used its market power to disadvantage rivals through efforts to disrupt distribution. Indeed, the CIS noted, "[e]ffective distribution is important for a brewer to be competitive in the U.S. beer industry." The Complaint alleges that the elimination of competition between ABI and MillerCoors will increase ABI's incentive and ability to disadvantage its remaining rivals—in particular, brewers of high-end beers that serve as an important constraint on ABI's ability to raise its beer prices — by limiting or impeding the distribution of their beers.
As a result, the DOJ proposal includes many remedies to help level the playing field for the benefit of consumers by keeping beer distribution independent. These sections are mostly contained in Section V of the PFJ.
Section V Provisions Supporting Independent Beer Distribution
Section V of the PFJ embodies many important provisions designed to safeguard distributor independence, market access for smaller competitors, and consumer choice and variety. These provisions include:
Neither ABI nor MolsonCoors can terminate a distributor as a result of the transactions resuling from the acquisitions. This was not a speculative concern as following the 2008 formation of the MillerCoors Joint Venture, MillerCoors attempted to use that transaction to terminate 40 independent beer distributors. The PFJ prohibits any such termination.
The order provides whistleblower/protective order protection for anyone that cooperates with the DOJ or the Monitoring Trustee. ABI cannot discriminate against, penalize, or otherwise retaliate against any independent distributor because such distributor raises, alleges, or otherwise brings to the attention of the United States or the Monitoring Trustee an actual, potential, or perceived violation of Section V of this Final Judgment.
ABI cannot acquire any equity interests in or ownership or control assets of an independent distributor if it would result in the distributor becoming an "ABI owned distributor" and would result in more than 10% of ABI's sales being distributed through "ABI owned distributors" nation-wide. This provision requires ABI to self-report data on its beer volume, via BudNet system, to the DOJ.
ABI cannot unilaterally or pursuant to any agreement provide any reward or penalty to or in any way condition its relationship with independent ABI distributors based upon the distributors' sales of third party beer or its marketing advertising promotion or retail placement of such beer. The restrictions on ABI include but are not limited to:
Conditioning availability of ABI's beer;
Conditioning prices, services, product support, rebates, discounts, buy backs, or other terms conditions of ABI's beer sold to distributor based on distributor's work for a third party brewer;
Conditioning any program with distributor based on the fact that distributor sells third party beer outside ABI territory;
Requiring a distributor to offer ABI the same incentive that distributor offers for selling a third party brewer's beer;
Preventing a distributor from using best efforts to sell, market, advertise, or promote a Third Party Brewer's Beer.
As the CIS notes, "the remedy seeks to preserve and promote competition in the U.S. beer industry by maintaining MillerCoors as an independent competitor and by reducing the influence of ABI on the distribution of beer in the United States."
One area where the DOJ notes concern is on how ABI interferes with management and ownership of independent beer distributors. Therefore, the PFJ provides that ABI shall not disapprove an independent distributor's selection of a general manager or successor manager based on a distributor's sale of a third party brewer's beer nor interfere with the sale of a business because of a distributor's relationship with a third party brewer.
Additionally, the PFJ highlights a DOJ concern that ABI was acquiring information about its smaller rivals via distribution mandates and requests. The PFJ prohibits ABI from requesting or requiring an independent distributor to report to ABI, whether in aggregated or disaggregated form, the independent distributor's revenues, profits, margins, costs, sales volumes, or other financial information associated with the purchase, sale, or distribution of another brewer's beer. ABI should not compel or request data on other brewers from independent distributors.
According to the PFJ, ABI is required to provide the DOJ with a compliance plan within ten (10) business days after receiving the court approval of the merger. Moreover, ABI shall provide a paper or electronic copy of the Final Judgment, to any Independent Distributor that distributes ABI's Beer.
Future Disputes?
While the above referenced provisions of Section V of the PFJ promote competition by protecting distributor independence and level the playing field for third party brewers, there remains confusing "carve out" language that will invariably raise numerous questions.
The language reads:
"Nothing in the final judgment shall prohibit Defendant ABI from entering into or enforcing agreement with any distributor requiring distributor to use best efforts to sell ABI beer which may be defined as to achieve and maintain the highest practicable sales volume and retail placement of Defendant ABI's beer in a geographic area. ABI may condition incentives, programs, or contractual terms based on an Independent Distributor's volume of sales of Defendant ABI's Beer, the retail placement of Defendant ABI's Beer, or on Defendant ABI's percentage of Beer industry sales in a geographic area (such percentage not to be defined by reference to or derived from information obtained from Independent Distributors concerning their sales of any Third-Party Brewer's Beer), provided, however, that any such incentives, programs, or contractual terms may not require or encourage an Independent Distributor to provide less than best efforts to the sale, marketing, advertising, retail placement, or promotion of any Third-Party Brewer's Beer or to discontinue the distribution of a Third-Party Brewer's Beer. Defendant ABI may require an Independent Distributor to allocate to Defendant ABI's Beer a proportion of the Independent Distributor's annual spending on Beer promotions and incentives not to exceed the proportion of revenues that Defendant ABI's Beer constitutes in the Independent Distributor's overall revenue for Beer sales in the preceding year."
This language seems to conflict with many of the protections outlinered earlier in Section V. Unless the DOJ and the court provide further guidance, there will certainly be disputes in application about the interpretation and reach of the Section V conditions particularly in light of this carve out language.
Monitoring Trustee- New Cop on the Beat?
To help enforce the provisions of Section V of the PFJ, the DOJ has appointed a Monitoring Trustee, Bill Berlin. Mr. Berlin is authorized to investigate the parties, seek information and provide DOJ with requests for sanctions for violating the order. He is a recent veteran of beer mergers having served as a monitoring trustee for the settlement agreement obtained in the DOJ's review of ABI's acquisition of Grupo Modelo (the brewer of Corona),which called for the divestiture of brewery assets to Constellation Brands and also regulated some distribution issues.
Anyone with concerns about ABI's compliance with or the enforcement of provisions in the final judgment that apply to ABI and/or MillerCoors should contact Bill Berlin at (202) 370-9582 or wberlin@hallrender.com
Concluding Thought
The decision whether the final PFJ changes in substance rests with the DOJ's and the court's hands. In the interim, however, the clock is already ticking on compliance. The parties are bound by the current consent order. The Monitoring Trustee has been appointed and is up and running. Industry Members, regulators and the public are encouraged to read the PFJ, espectially Section V, to understand its terms and the impact on daily operations. Once the PFJ becomes final, industry particants and local regulators will have very little time to get up to speed so it important to have a grasp of the issues in the short-term so when the order is final they are prepared to work with the Monitoring Trustee, Bill Berlin, and the DOJ to enforce its terms. | RedPajamaCommonCrawl_-7999135226524169276 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
Hockey bet values on both teams, incredibly enough, have been outstanding as both clubs have posted bet on hockey profits so far this year. The Tampa Bay Lightning had an overall hockey bet record of 17-23-3-7 straight up and a profitable 26-24 against the hockey odds.
A big reason for Tampa Bay's surprising hockey bet success is that the average fan considers them a pariah and won't go near them. Nobody, in fact, has a worse hockey bet reputation on "the street" than the Lightning.
It all started when they fired head coach Barry Melrose about a month into the season after hiring him away from ESPN in the summer. The ownership has been unstable and lacking vision and the team morale has been poor.
Despite all of that the Lightning have turned a hockey bet profit because they are so completely undesirable that when they win, it is a huge payoff since so few gamblers want them. The Lightning have posted just 9 bet on hockey wins in 26 road games. 14 of those games went over the total.
About the only team that can match Tampa Bay's horrible hockey bet reputation are the New York Islanders. The Isles had an overall hockey bet mark of 14-29-3-2 straight up but were 30-18 against the hockey odds.
As is the case with Tampa Bay the Isles make huge money any time that they get a rare hockey bet win because they are such massive underdogs on the board.
When teams such as Tampa Bay and New York take the ice the oddsmakers will do everything they can to attract action their way which means that they have to sweeten the hockey bet with added value. In this bet on hockey matchup, however, the perception is even so the value should be as well.
New York has posted just 8 hockey bet wins in 23 home games with 13 of those games going over the total.

photos/Cotton Estes
Rigby Yard in South Portland is the largest rail yard in New England, and a good case could be made that it's also the dumpiest.
The yard and its structures were built in the early 1920s on the site of Rigby Trotting Park, a one-mile horseracing track renowned in the late 19th century as one of the fastest in the country.
The Portland Terminal Company, a joint venture of the Maine Central Railroad and Boston & Maine Railroad, constructed the switch yard and roundhouse during a period in which rail barons were merging and consolidating their facilities. The yard was quite active for most of the past century, with upwards of 75,000 cars arriving and departing annually by the 1980s.
Guilford Transportation Industries (now Pan Am Systems) bought the Portland Terminal Company in 1981, and then snapped up several railroads (including Maine Central and Boston & Maine), ultimately acquiring a rail network that stretched across New England and into Canada and New York.
The freight rail company eliminated a number of lesser-used Maine Central routes in the mid-1980s. More recently, the decline of Maine's paper industry and a shift toward trucking have further reduced the amount of rail traffic through the yard, though it is still operational.
The 205-acre site has an appraised value of over $9 million, according to South Portland tax records. Add in the value of the railroad tracks (over $4 million) and a few buildings and the property's worth tops $14.5 million. But unless you plan to play life-sized choo-choo there, it's not an attractive buy (nor is it for sale).
The landscape around the yard is most accurately described as "post-apocalyptic." Piles of weathered wood and rusty metal dot the grounds, as do several abandoned sheds, broken-down vehicles and pieces of heavy equipment long past their productive lives.
There's a functional (and un-dumpy) brick office building on the site, but it faces the semi-circular roundhouse and its accompanying turntable, which date from the days of steam engines and show the wear of every year that's passed since. The roundhouse — a ramshackle structure of wood, brick, sheet metal and glass block — is mostly empty, its ghostly spaces strewn with debris, though a section on one end is being used to maintain equipment.
"It's a huge piece of property in the center of the city," observed South Portland Planning and Development Director Tex Haeuser. "From the city's point of view, we wish [Pan Am] would do a lot more with it."
In addition to the remaining rail links, Haeuser noted that the site has good access to I-95 and has a rail spur to the Turners Island marine-rail cargo terminal in South Portland. A facility that integrated rail, truck and marine cargo operations would "make sense" there, he said.
Other than a couple relatively minor oil spills at the yard and a 2003 incident in which rail cars containing radioactive cement from the decommissioned Maine Yankee nuke plant collided, there have been no serious incidents at Rigby and few complaints from neighbors.
Pan Am Railways president David Fink did not return a call seeking comment on the property's current use and its future.

On February 1, 2017, C. L. Brumback Primary Care Clinics became an Honoree recipient of the 2017 80% by 2018 National Achievement Awards, a program designed to recognize individuals and organizations who are dedicating their time, talent and expertise to advancing needed initiatives that support the shared goal to regularly screen 80% of adults 50 and over by 2018.
Belma Andrić, MD, MPH is the Chief Medical Officer of the Health Care District of Palm Beach County. Dr. Andric is responsible for quality and patient safety across the Health Care District and directly supervises the Trauma, Aeromedical and Quality and Patient Safety departments, with indirect oversight over the District's other physician leaders. Previously Dr. Andric has served as the Medical Director of the Health Care District's C. L. Brumback Primary Care Clinics that serve over 30,000 unduplicated patients annually. She was in charge of quality and clinical performances at eight clinics locations.
Hi, Dr. Andrić! We're excited to feature your work on the 80% by 2018 Blog. Can you tell us a little about yourself and how you ended up working on colorectal cancer screening?
I have worked as a medical director with C. L. Brumback Primary Care Clinics since their founding as a federally qualified health center (FQHC) in 2013. Early on, we realized we needed to work on establishing solid clinical preventive services to improve the health of all our patients. We adopted "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" as part of our mission. We also knew our efforts would require widespread application of primary and secondary prevention guidelines, as well as intensive data collection, analysis, feedback and ongoing quality improvement (QI) initiatives. Not to mention, being a new FQHC, we had to work to improve many quality indicators simultaneously. With all this, a realization set in that an ounce of prevention is a ton of work. To overcome these challenges, we formed separate working groups for different QI initiatives, including one with a goal to improve our colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates. This group began by looking for best practices among peer clinicians and staff. We also applied for a CHANGE grant from the American Cancer Society to provide more resources for a project focused on CRC screening. We received the award at the end of 2014, and that was the beginning of our successful journey on the road to reach our goal of 80% by 2018.
Tell us a little bit about C. L. Brumback Primary Care Clinics.
When and why did C. L. Brumback Primary Care Clinics decide to focus on increasing colorectal cancer screening?
Our CRC screening rate in 2013 was 21%. It was a "no brainer" that something needed to be done, but where to start? Our small QI department started meeting regularly to brainstorm about possible CRC screening interventions. During these meetings, we decided to apply for the CHANGE grant, and that was the "game changer" for us. Once we received the award, we started working closely with our local ACS liaison, Jennifer Bustamante, Florida's primary care health systems manager, to understand what strategies work in community health centers like ours.
What activities and systems changes did you implement, and how did you choose them?
Early on we learned the power of patient navigation, so as a first step we hired a patient navigator. And we did not go far away for that: we promoted one of our front-line registrars since we needed someone who knew our patients and knew the "beat" of the clinics. This proved to be one of the best decisions we made. The patient navigator completely owned the program. Her success was built on her knowledge of clinic procedures and work flows, as well as being able to establish trusting relationships with patients. Our patient navigator also navigates all of us toward mutual goals. She organizes "lunch and learn" meetings dedicated to CRC screenings, runs weekly/monthly reports that keep us up to date on how we are doing, leads process improvements, develops tools, etc.
Next, we started by identifying barriers to screening among the unscreened and learned a top barrier is that their doctors did not tell them they needed to be screened. So we worked hard to create a culture in which we always "think CRC screening." In our clinics, patients are offered screening at each visit regardless of the reason for their visit. Today, in our clinics, patients can expect they will be offered CRC screening the same way they expect their blood pressure would be checked. In other words, it's become second nature. We implemented numerous interventions, including care team education and training, optimized clinic flows, morning huddles and monthly staff meetings focused on CRC screening, standing orders for MAs and providers, optimized EHR documentation and data collection, and transparent sharing with providers on where we stand regarding CRC screening rates. Know your numbers became our new mantra; each month we share our current rates as a group and for individual teams. We celebrate our success and identify champions, and we create healthy competitions among care teams (hint: doctors are very competitive! J) As a result, we've seen steady rate improvements month after month.
I understand you piloted a strategy you call "poop on demand." What is this?
During "lunch and learn" meetings, we share best practices between clinics and adopt innovative ideas that staff share. A great example of thinking out of the box came from one of our nurses: instead of giving FIT tests to patients to take home with them, politely and a bit humorously, we simply ask patients to try to use clinic restrooms and collect their stool specimen during that visit. And to our surprise, many patients cooperated! So we incorporated this into our FIT test guidance for medical assistant and nurses and adopted it across the board. This increased our overall FIT test compliance rates by 30-40%. We called it "poop on demand" – a tool with a funny name but powerful results. We also discovered that some FIT tests were unsatisfactory upon return due to too little or too much (leaking kits) stool in the specimen, so we developed "stool models" out of Play-Doh for medical assistants to demonstrate proper stool collection.
What success have you seen? How did you measure that success?
As a direct result of all these interventions, we've seen a four-fold increase in our screening rates in three years, at the same time that our denominator (number of patients eligible for screening) doubled. This also means we are removing more and more precancerous polyps. To date we have diagnosed two patients with CRC after routine screening. These results are powerful motivational tools for all of us in community health centers since it is proof that CRC screening programs not only detect cancers early in people who do not have obvious symptoms but also prevent cancer from ever developing. It is also especially motivational for us since we serve as a safety network for patients with limited resources and who would otherwise not have access to screening.
What lessons learned would you share with others that are working to increase colorectal cancer screening in primary care settings?
nurses on the bowel prep procedures and developed patient instructions, as well as standing orders for colonoscopy prep for providers. One of the unanticipated problems was poor prep. Luckily, our very first patient's prep was inadequate, so we learned this valuable lesson early on and added additional layers of patient navigation. On the day of bowel prep, patient navigators call the patient up to a few times to ensure good understanding and compliance with instructions. We simply could not waste a valuable colonoscopy spot to poor bowel prep. As a result, the more than 80 colonoscopies conducted in the next 18 months had excellent prep, and we've seen 100% compliance with transportation that's arranged by the patients themselves.
Were there tools, trainings or resources that you found helpful?
Early on, NCCRT's guide, Steps for Increasing Colorectal Cancer Screening Rates: A Manual for Community Health Centers, became an indispensable resource in our work. Currently, one of the most important tools we're using is our population management platform. This platform gives us the capacity to analyze data down to the physician and patient level and provides us performance feedback and comparative benchmarking information. In my opinion, this very user-friendly, close-to-real-time physician-level reporting is the most important tool for program sustainability. This make us all "own it" and be responsible for the population we serve.
"The healthcare provider never suggested I get this test" has been cited as the primary barrier to CRC screening among those who have never screened or are overdue for screening. This is the reason we focus on training our staff on the importance of CRC screening as well as putting the systems in place to make screening an easy choice for patients in all our clinics. We found that once we put our act together, patients trusted us and complied with recommended screening recommendations. We led them, and they followed us.
Thank you for sharing your story with us! We look forward to hearing more about your work and C. L. Brumback Primary Care Clinics' progress in the future. | RedPajamaC4_6553033311865799259 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Atropates (Greek Aτρoπάτης, from Old Persian Aturpat "protected by fire"; c. 370 BC-after 321 BC) was a Persian nobleman who served Darius III, then Alexander III of Macedon, and eventually founded an independent kingdom and dynasty that was named after him. Diodorus (18.4) refers to him as 'Atrapes', while Quintus Curtius (8.3.17) erroneously names him 'Arsaces'.
Towards the end of the Achaemenid Empire, Atropates was governor (satrap) of the Achaemenid province of Media. In the decisive Battle of Gaugamela (October 331 BCE) between Darius and Alexander, Atropates commanded the Achaemenid troops of Media, Caucasian Albania and Sacasene (part of present-day Armenia ).
Following his defeat in that battle, Darius fled to the Median capital of Ecbatana , where Atropates gave him hospitality. Darius attempted to raise a new army but was forced to flee Ecbatana in June 330 BCE. After Darius' death a month later at the hands of Bessus, Atropates surrendered to Alexander. Alexander initially chose Oxydates as satrap of Media, but in 328-327 BCE after Alexander lost trust in Oxydates' loyalty, Atropates was reinstated to his old position. In 325-324, Atropates delivered Baryaxes (a sought-after rebel of the region) to Alexander while the latter was at Pasargadae . Alexander's esteem for the governor rose "so high" that soon afterwards Atropates' daughter was married to Alexander's confidant and cavalry commander Perdiccas at the famous mass wedding at Susa in February 324 BCE.
Later that year, Alexander visited Atropates in Ecbatana with his good friend and second-in-command Hephaestion, who fell ill and died in October 324 BCE. At this time, "[i]t was related by some authors, that Atropates on one occasion presented Alexander with a hundred women, said to be Amazons; but Arrian ([Anabasis] vii. 13) disbelieved the story."
Alexander himself died eight months later on June 10, 323 BCE, and Atropates' new son-in-law Perdiccas was named regent of Alexander's half-brother Philip III. Following the "Partition of Babylon" in 323 BCE, Media was divided into two parts: the greater portion in the south-east was to be governed by Peithon, a general of Perdiccas, while a smaller portion in the north west (principally around the Araxes River basin was given to Atropates. At some point thereafter, Atropates refused to convey allegiance to the diadochi and made his part of Media an independent kingdom, while his son-in-law Perdiccas was eventually murdered by Peithon in the summer of 320 BCE.
The dynasty Atropates founded would rule the kingdom for several centuries, at first either independendantly or as vassals of the Seleucids, then as vassals of the Arsacids, into whose house they "are said" to have married. They became, however, the new House of Parthia through the marriage of the Arsacid heiress to the Atropatenid heir.
The region that encompassed Atropates' kingdom come to be known to the Greeks as "Media Atropatene" after Atropates, and eventually simply "Atropatene". The Arsacids called it 'Aturpatakan' in Parthian, as did also the Sassanids who eventually succeeded them. Eventually Middle Iranian 'Aturpatakan' became 'Azerbaijan', whence the Republic of Azerbaijan and the Iranian province of Azerbaijan get their name. | RedPajamaC4_7179430804585272279 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
Sleepy Hollow Season 2 Finale – "Tempus Fugit" Review.
Since the beginning of season two, Sleepy Hollow has taken us an adventurous, albeit tumultuous, journey filled with mystery, intrigue, doubt, and betrayal. While there have been occasional moments of laughter and joy, even brief reconciliation, the irreparable damages inflicted by the choices of our main characters come to a decisive head in "Tempus Fugit," forever altering and destroying relationships.
As we witnessed in the penultimate episode "Awakening," Abbie (Nicole Beharie) unwittingly follows Katrina (Katia Winter) back in time when Katrina casts the "traveler spell" to change the past after her son Henry (John Noble) is killed. Katrina's blinded by her remorse and guilt but Henry's death in "Awakening" is much her fault as it is Abbie's for pulling the trigger. Ultimately, Henry brought this fate upon himself when he chose to side with Moloch (Marti Matulis) instead of seeking the truth about his abandonment by his mother. Henry chose to ignore the fact his father Ichabod (Tom Mison) had no knowledge of his existence but instead acted on impulse and hurt to get back at his parents. And now Henry is dead and Katrina follows in her son's footsteps letting her grief obstruct the truth regarding her part in his demise.
This whole season, Katrina's actions and demeanor have led her down a path of self-destruction. Her lies and secrets she kept from her husband began to ebb away at the shaky foundation of their relationship. I wanted so desperately for Ichabod and Katrina to find a way back to each other but it was clear in "Heartless" the differences of opinion between Ichabod and Katrina, Katrina and Abbie, and Ichabod and Abbie about Henry's redeeming qualities were permanently rooting themselves to later sprout and spread venomous doubt among them.
As Abbie seeks Ichabod in the past to warn him of the dangers, Katrina finds an ally of her own to help her cause. Abraham (Neil Jackson), aka Horseman of Death, already had a mission to kill Ichabod but now Katrina has added another to this list. Katrina's magic is more powerful now that she's tapped into the dark side but it may not be enough to fight fate.
Ichabod and Abbie venture to enlist the help of one of our nation's founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin (guest star Timothy Busfield). Abbie gets quite a history lesson meeting Franklin but time is of the essence. Franklin believes Abbie's story of her time travel and tells her "…for a brief period, all spells can be undone." Aside from the obvious, Abbie must employ the help of her ancestor to reverse the traveler's spell but it proves to be a challenging order.
Throughout "Tempus Fugit," there are glimmers of hope for Sleepy Hollow to return for another season. When Grace Dickson (Onira Tares) tells Abbie about the blank pages in her journal and telling her the battle against evil isn't done, it gives me hope the writers will be able to create an elaborate plot for another season. While there is death in "Tempus Fugit" of key characters, the one thing that puzzles me is the vision Katrina has in the final scenes of the episode.
I enjoy the historical aspects of Sleepy Hollow and truly hope the series is renewed but with the way things end in "Tempus Fugit," the scales can be tipped in either direction with relative ease. There is so much potential for an amazing third season for Sleepy Hollow. There are several story lines that have opportunity to be elaborated on, particularly the Hawley (Matt Barr) and dark angel Orion (guest star Max Brown) story arcs. Ichabod and Abbie still face all the evil that escaped purgatory when Moloch was slain in "The Akeda." Let's just hope the powers that be see the potential as well.
What did you think of "Tempus Fugit?" Do you want Sleepy Hollow to return for a third season? Leave me a comment below and/or tweet me @judybopp.

Last night, after the Porthleven Town Council meeting I attended the Bickford-Smith Institute (large clock building in Porthleven) Christmas Concert, held at St. Bartholomews Church. This is a yearly concert helps fund a certain part of the building.
The Moushole Male Voice Choir and Porthleven Town Band provided the entertainment. I have to say it was a fantastic concert and well worth the £4 entry fee. I have a small confession in I have a soft-spot for the songs from male voice choirs, even though I cannot muster an in-tune note!
Porthleven Town Band were also excellent, and it was good to see the band made up of so many young people; which bodes well for the future success of the town band. A great evenings entertainment. Well done to all who made it so. | RedPajamaC4_1056128961362136911 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
Q: Proving that ord $(g, \frac1{z_0}) = n$ where $z_0 > 0$ and $g(z)=f(\frac{1}{z})$ Proving the following relation:
Suppose that $\operatorname{ord}(f,z_0)=n$ with $z_0$ not $0$. So letting $g(z)=f\left(\dfrac1z\right)$, I have that $\operatorname{ord}\left(g,\dfrac1{z_0}\right)=n$.
Does I have anything to do with singularities of $g$?
Is there a simple proof of this. I need help proving that it is a valid statement. Thanks.
A: $f$ has zero of order $n$ at $z_0$ iff there is an open disk containing $z_0$ in which $f(z)=(z-z_0)^{n} g(z)$ for some holomorphic function $g$ in the disk with no zeros.
If $z_0 \neq 0$ this gives $g(z)=\frac {z_0^{n}} {z^{n}} (z-\frac 1 {z_0})^{n} g(\frac 1 z)$ in some disc around $\frac 1 {z_0}$. This proves that $g$ has a zero of order $n$ at $\frac 1 {z_0}$.

The Diversity Café series brings together staff from the WA health system, other government agencies, non-government and community organisations and consumers to share knowledge, connect ideas and ask questions about health matters as they relate to people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CaLD).
A person who identifies as LGBTI+ and who also comes from a CaLD background often has to negotiate multiple and interwoven expectations and social codes relating to gender, sexuality, faith and ethnicity in the communities or groups that they belong to. This could lead to isolation and loss of identity. These and other factors such as inability to speak English, lack of available and appropriate support and knowledge of health care and other services can strongly impact on their health outcomes. All of these need to be considered when developing and implementing health policies, programs and services to ensure their inclusion and improve health equity.
In this Café, a health consumer, a service provider and a clinician will share their perspectives and experiences around improving health equity for LGBTI+ people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Challenges and concerns for service providers, staff and consumers will also be discussed. | RedPajamaC4_-802142692354518649 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
In recent years, the American Studio Movement has picked up the interest of museums across the country. Now, the Michener Art Museum opened "Paul Evans: Crossing Boundaries & Crafting Modernism," the first comprehensive survey of Evans's work, placing his achievements in the context of the history of furniture design. He worked with metal in a way no other designer had ever done before or since, arranging metal panels into rich quilt patterns, turning intricate textures into his own signature expression, a mode that corresponded with the Brutalist Architecture that was sweeping America. | RedPajamaC4_720258856256203386 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
I love soup. L-O-V-E it. It's so comforting to have a big old pot of soup simmering away on the stove. It warms the home and smells so good, too. My mom made soup a lot. Not only because it's a good way to stretch your food budget, but it's a great way to get a healthy hot meal to your family with little effort. Pair it with a sandwich, crusty bread, or even a nice salad--and you've got a delicious lunch or dinner. And leftovers the next day? | RedPajamaC4_490388776729528485 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
Il nome Eluro («gatto» in greco) gli fu attribuito per la sua combattività e la costituzione piccola.
Di dottrina miafisita, fu consacrato patriarca di Alessandria in seguito a sommosse popolari ad Alessandria d'Egitto contro le decisioni del concilio di Calcedonia del 451. Era un acceso sostenitore di Dioscoro I, precedente patriarca morto nel 454 e difensore del monofisismo.

Water.org Cofounders Matt Damon & Gary White: Corporate Partnerships Are The Future Of Charity
Seth Porges Contributor
Since 2009, Water.org has sought to bring clean water to millions people who don't have access to this basic necessity. The new hope for the nonprofit, which was founded by actor Matt Damon and Gary White: By creating longterm relationships with consumer-facing brands, it can reduce reliance and on big-money donors and instead drive public giving and public conversation on a massive scale.
To test this model, Water.org partnered with beer brand Stella Artois for the Buy A Lady A Drink campaign, which promises consumers that the purchase of a single chalice will provide clean water for somebody for five years. We sat down with Damon and White to talk about this model for charitable giving, and how corporate partnerships could be increasingly key to engaging customer bases for giving and for good.
Tell me a little bit about this campaign in your own words, as if to an alien who has no idea what it is?
Matt Damon, actor and cofounder of Water.org: Well, we started working with Stella a few years back, and we did a one-year deal with them. Today, we've reached 800,000 people with clean water through this initiative with Stella. It went so well that we all kind of came back the next year and said, "Let's do this again. This is going great for everybody. The dating was great, but let's get married."
So we did this big four-year deal with them, and it's just really big. We'll reach 3.5 million people at least with clean water by 2020 through events and raising awareness, but also through the direct connections our consumers can have with this issue. Stella came up with these really clever ways to activate their consumer base. Everything from the sales of the chalices, which are these beautiful art pieces, to walking into a bar and ordering a Stella in the United States or the UK—which will bring one person clean water for a month in the developing world. Also, buying a six-pack or a 12-pack in a grocery store will bring either six months or 12 months respectively of clean water to somebody in the developing world. It's a really great way for a customer who is interested and wants to know that what they can do can have a direct impact. You can walk into a bar on Saturday night with your friends and buy a round of drinks and know that you just brought someone clean water for a year.

It seems like this could be a model for charities to engage with consumers in ways outside the traditional donation model. Is that the idea?
Gary White, cofounder and CEO of Water.org: Yeah. That's part of it. That's what we're calling for here. We would like other brands to join us and form a collaboration to get this done because we know that as powerful as this campaign is, it's still not going to be enough to get it done. As we've brought in more brands, we've been very fortunate. We have worked with lots of other brands like PepsiCo and their foundation, Ikea, Mastercard, Bank of America, and others, but none of those have activated quite in this way. They brought great resources to us, but I think this can be a model for how we can work with so many other brands.
Matt Damon: What they report back to us is that it really matters to their customers. That's something that you could really feel changing, and we definitely felt it this year. There was a marked difference from three years ago. These companies are now talking about engaging with their customers and the morality of their customers in a totally different way. People vote these companies in and out of business with their pocketbooks, and this matters. Issues like this are on the radar of the millennials.
The campaign promises that if you buy a chalice, it's five years of clean water for somebody. Can you break down how you get that figure? How does that black box work?
Matt Damon: You're asking the exact right person.
Gary White: A typical water project, like a hand pump on a well, will last about 20 years. It costs about $25 per person to get that installed for a village. If you look at that $25 and break it down over the 20 years, it comes out to about $1.25 a year. When you buy one chalice, $6.25 of the chalice comes to water.org to make that happen.
Matt Damon: There you go.
A part of what water.org does involves microfinancing. Can talk about that model for charitable projects and why you guys are kind of drawn to it.
Matt Damon: This is a real innovation. It was an insight that Gary had years ago by spending his entire adult life interacting with the poorest of the poor and spending time with those communities. He made the observation that these people were paying for water already, whether they were paying a local water vendor or whether they were paying with their time and leaving jobs in order to go stand in a line with a jerry can at the assigned moment in any given week and standing around with thousands of other people waiting to fill their jerry can too. It was tremendously unproductive.
He said, "Okay. These are people surviving on one dollar, two dollars a day. They don't have any savings. What if we could figure out a way to front them the money for a water connection?" In a lot of these urban and peri-urban areas—take India for instance—in a slum you've got immiscibility piping water right under their feet. They're just not connected to the infrastructure. If you could just front them the money for a tap, you could put a faucet right in their house and essentially buy back their time.
It's not an income-generating loan, like classic microfinance, but it is an income-enhancing loan because you're buying the time back. Rather than have to ever go stand in this line again, they can work those extra hours and pay the loan off. His hunch proved to be, his hypothesis proved to be more right than we ever could have hoped. I mean, these loans pay off at more than 99%. We've brought safe water and sanitation solutions to over 5.3 million people at this point. Its a scalable and sustainable idea.
It seems like there's some level of dignity associated with it, too. People probably have more pride in the project.
Matt Damon: I was just going to say. They're participating in their own solution.
Gary White: So many water projects fail. Nobody is going to take out a loan for a toilet or for a water connection if they don't want it and if it's not right for them. That really builds the whole layer of sustainability with this. I think it's important to look at the leveraging, too. We've put about $16 million into water credit to kind of jumpstart these markets with our microfinance partners. That's now leveraged more than $220 million of commercial capitol. We're seeing this demand increase, but we also see that we could be doing even more. That's why we created water equity for just social impact investing. Our impact capitol now has a targeted financial return to investors between two and three percent. Then we take that, help people get safe water, then people get their investment back with interest. That, I think, is the key to bringing in more investors in the US and Europe so that we can scale even faster.
Water.org has gone in a very short time from being nothing to being one of the better-known charitable organizations in the world. Why do you think that is? Do you think it's the story resonated or do you think it's Matt's involvement or something else?
Matt Damon: Our programming works. I think that's the most important thing, and that's what people really respond to. When they poll Americans on this issue, on all these issues, whether it's gun ownership or whether it's extreme poverty, what polls the highest is when things work. Americans want things that work. If it works, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or you're a Republican. You're all for it. This has the benefit of being a nonpartisan issue. There are people who embrace it on the right and the left, but also, it just makes a lot of sense. Americans like to know that they're not throwing their money down a rabbit hole.
Last question here: If you make a movie about the water crisis, what would it look like?
Matt Damon: If I knew I would have made it by now. If you have any ideas, I'm open.

Virginia Public Schools Using SOL's to Indoctrinate Children in Islamic Theology and Purge Christianity – Part III | Virginia Right!
This is the third and final chapter on the Virginia SOL's and the heavy handed left wing agenda driven propaganda put out by the Virginia Department of Education.
Who is to blame for this? Ultimately, we all are. For becoming complacent and not watching carefully what the schools are teaching our kids. This is revisionist history at it's worst. And it is pushing a politically correct agenda, but this goes far beyond simply PC babble. This is dangerous and powerful psychological warfare being used to indoctrinate our kids and prepare them to accept American mediocrity and one world government where the whole world shares everything. In other words, Socialism.
These kids will be completely brainwashed and America will be lost forever by our silence.
This is a wake-up call that is years overdue.
The documentation is all here. You can read it for yourself. Taken individually, these changes can easily be explained away. But when you look at them as a whole, there is an unmistakable, radical, far left agenda at work. There simply is no other explanation.
First, call your kids school. Let the Principal know that you are aware of what is being taught. There is little the local schools can do, but many teachers are themselves products of the far left indoctrination they now zealously pass on to our kids. They will push the envelope of they think no one is watching. Let them know you are watching.
Call your School Board. Your councilman. Your county supervisor. They all need to know what is going on.
But to fix this, it is going to have to go to the State Government. That is, obviously, Governor McDonnell, although I doubt he is aware of the issue at this point. And I am sure he would not approve anything like this, if he knew. But the real fault is with the Virginia Department of Education.
You need to call your Delegate and and your State Senator. They are in a position to really take action, although not until next year – after the elections. So this is an important issue to bring up to all of the people running for office. Every seat in the Virginia House and Senate is up for reelection in 2011. Make sure that anyone who supports changing history to push a Socialist agenda and Muslim teachings is not representing you.
What we need is a complete purge of the people responsible for the Virginia Standards of Learning. These were supposed to be a tool to make sure every child receives a quality education, not to allow a uniform indoctrination of our youth into the virtues of one world order.
And Virginia should have an oversight board comprised of parents – not teachers and administrators. That is how we ended up with this mess.
We must stop this and remain vigilant. There are those who believe America should be a country of mediocre people bowing to the will of the rest of the world, robbed of our treasure, our resources and drained of our birthright of excellence.
Pick up[ the phone and and pick up your pen.
Virginia needs you to be involved.
At the M'ville Tea Partry meeting, you indictaed a pdf of the strikethrough version.. It would be useful when approaching local school officials, teachers, parents, etc… where is this document???? | RedPajamaC4_-5168987034698076552 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
Two elections
As announced by the Commission on Elections (Comelec), the official election season began last January 10 and will end on June 8 this year. It includes a campaign period starting February and ending in May; election day itself on May 9; the counting of the ballots; and the official proclamation of the winning presidential and vice presidential candidates and their inauguration.
Some cynical souls lament that the results of the triennial exercise—the election of the same scoundrels, incompetents, crooks and clowns and/or their clones—do not justify the 150 days allocated for it. But the unofficial period for campaigning for office is actually far longer, in many cases consisting of the entire three years between congressional and local government elections, and, for the presidential election, the six years during which the previously elected president sits in Malacañang.

Microsoft's Surface Neo is a revolutionary dual-screened, foldable super-tablet
Whoa, indeed
by Andrew Hayward
Follow @ahaywa
03 October 2019 / 9:56IST
The Surface Pro has led the wave of transformable tablets, but Microsoft will take things in a new direction next year with the Surface Neo. As the name suggests, it's something very new from the PC giant – a dual-screened, foldable tablet that supports a variety of form factors. And it's not solely about touch: it also has a fold-out (and detachable) physical keyboard that can position anywhere atop one of the screens, as well as a magnetic stylus that attaches to the back. The Surface Neo has two 9in displays that combine into one large 13in view if you please, or you can use them individually in different positions. It's gorgeous, but also sure to be wildly expensive. We don't have any specs or release details, however, aside from a planned holiday 2020 rollout.

Apple Music Streaming on the Apple Watch is a Mixed Bag
November 15, 2017 James Rogers
Before diving into the details, I will say right off the bat that Apple Music streaming on the new LTE-enabled version of the Apple Watch Series 3 works. The music sounded the same over my AirPods that it would if I were using my iPhone or iPad, which is good. Searches with Siri were performed quickly. I never had any issues with tracks skipping, even though I only had two "dots" of LTE where I was doing my testing. So functionally, it works fine and is a welcome addition to the Apple Watch. Also, it's good to keep in mind that this feature is still in beta, so things could change a little here or there before full release.
However, when I also say that streaming Apple Music on the Watch is a mixed bag right now, I'm not kidding around. It is functional in the way that the original Apple Watch was- useful and novel, but also scattered and confusing at times. The interface and experience are spread out over two different apps, a leftover from watchOS 1, and Siri. At the end of the day, I am glad to have it, since it extends the Watch beyond the bounds of the old iPad Nano and Shuffle as a mobile music player. However, Apple Music integration doesn't come without its share of growing pains.
The Spirit of Radio
When you install the latest watchOS 4 beta, you will get a new Radio app as part of the deal. This new app serves a few different functions, most of which relate to Apple Music. At the top of the interface under the Now Playing tab, you have good old Beats 1, which any LTE-enabled Watch owner is free to stream anytime they choose to.
Underneath that, you have a link to a listing of several different genre and decade-based streaming radio stations. I appreciate that Apple gave us a pretty comprehensive list for searching on the Watch, so you don't necessarily have to use Siri to start the ball rolling if you prefer not to.
Below the Stations link, you have an collection of custom stations that you have created and listened to in the past.
Similar to synced playlists and albums in the Music app, these are represented by album covers that can be swiped through, or navigated with the Digital Crown.
The new Radio app works just fine in and of itself. However, the fact that it is separated off from the main Music app with no meaningful link between them is a little strange. I guess I understand the impetus to try and cut down on interface clutter by segregating these different listening experiences. However, this brings in a certain level of confusion when different music requests end up in different places. More on this in a minute.
Where Are Those Millions of Songs?
I'll tell you where they aren't. They will not be on found on your Watch, at least not unless you have put them in your music library at some point. I realize that I'm knocking over a straw man here, because it would be completely unrealistic to expect the capability to search all of Apple Music from a Watch interface. However, what does that leave us? You guessed it- our old friend Siri.
To be fair, Siri actually handles Music requests pretty well. As long as I'm in a place where I can speak up and there isn't too much background noise, the accuracy is very good. Also, with the enhancements coming to HomePod, this should only get better, so being locked to Siri isn't a terrible.
In my opinion, the biggest limitation is going to be location and situation. Voice searches just aren't acceptable in all situations and even when they are, they can still be awkward in public. I would appreciate it if Apple would add a Scribble text search interface for the Watch's Music app for such occasions, but Siri is it for now.
If you want to limit your reliance on voice commands, your best bet is to set up radio stations and playlists with the content from Apple Music that you are most interested in. Between this and the stations in the Radio app, you should have enough to make it without hitting Siri up too often. Also, even with the ability to stream, it still pays to sync some of your favorite albums and playlists over to local storage on the Watch, which will really save you on both data usage and battery life in the long run.
This is the point where we get to the confusion with using Apple Music. I did a little bit of testing and found that similar requests may actually take you in different directions. For example, I asked Siri verbatim to "Play Rush Greatest Hits." I was taken to the Music app and I got a selection of what I would consider to be some of their greatest hits.
However, since they don't have a single greatest hits album or set, I'm not sure why the particular album it chose was the one selected. I half expected to end up in the Radio app, because this is exactly the kind of general music request that a custom station is designed to handle. Conversely, if you ask Siri to just play music from a particular artist without any qualifiers, you do end up in the Radio app with a new custom station.
Then we get to another level of confusion, because the Now Playing interfaces are different between the Music and Radio apps. The Music app has traditional playback controls, as well as a handy button that reveals a track listing.
In this case, I am looking at an Apple Music playlist that I save a while back. Since it is curated based on a genre, I like the fact that I can easily pull up the track list and see what's ahead.
The Radio app's Now Playing interface omits the back button for a star icon that allows you to tell Apple to play more or less music like the current selection.
The link to the track list is replaced with a + button that allows you add the current song to your library. While I understand that this fits the concept of discovering new music through the Radio feature, this is where I would really like to see the upcoming track list and get an idea of what's ahead. I can see what's next up on deck on the iPhone, but the Watch's interface is definitely more limiting.
While I do understand that these are important features for the Radio app, it would be great if Apple could figure out a way to consolidate all of this into a single unified Now Playing interface. The fact that I basically got the same song selection with my two Rush requests, but ended up in two different apps with two different interfaces is just a bit strange and kludgy.
Since we are on the subject of the way that Apple has chopped up the Music experience on the Watch, now is a good time to talk about Now Playing. Not the Now Playing in Music or Radio that I already mentioned. The Now Playing that still lives in limbo on the Watch. Confused? So was I at first.
As already discussed, both the Music and Radio apps have a dedicated Now Playing section that are completely separate from each other. If you are playing a song in one app, the Now Playing in the other app falls silent and still displays the last track that was played there. I guess this makes sense because the apps don't have any connections between each other that I can perceive.
What is really strange is that we have a leftover bit of watchOS 1 that is still hanging around in watchOS 4. There is a stand-alone Now Playing "app" that is separate from the Now Playing inside each of the Music and Radio apps. You may have noticed it in the past, and that you could add it to the Apple Watch's Dock separately from the full Music app. I believe that this interface element is a throwback to the Glances system that was replaced with the Dock in watchOS 3 last year.
I think this is the case because this stand-alone version of Now Playing is not present in the full App List on the Watch. Whether you look in "Honeycomb" Mode or the new List Mode, it does not show up there.
You can't launch it directly unless you put it in the Dock or on a Watch Face as a Complication.
However, if you do, it can be used to monitor whatever is playing in either the Music or the Radio apps. It is also capable of showing other media from third party apps playing on the Watch, as well. In fact, this is the "app" that pops up by default on your Watch screen in watchOS 4 when you play music through the Apple Music app on your iPhone. So what is this black magic, exactly?
The Headless Zombie App
The existence of a separate Now Playing app wasn't as confusing in the past, because there were only two things you could do music-wise on the Watch. You could play music synced to your Watch via a Bluetooth output device, or you could control music playback on your iPhone. I've actually been a very big fan of this capability since I first got an Apple Watch. I never cared to dive through menus or search for music to play on my phone with the Watch, but having the playback controls on my wrist at all times is very handy.
It seems like Now Playing May have been reworked after watchOS 1, but was upgraded from a mere Glance (which were nothing but links to apps that displayed some information for quick access) to bridge the gap between what was on the Music app on the Watch and what you were remotely controlling. Again, I never found this setup particularly confusing before, probably because it never got in the way.
All of that has now changed with the latest version of watchOS 4 because of the addition of the Radio app to the mix. Honestly, if the Music and Radio apps just linked out to the stand-alone Now Playing app instead of each having a separate version of its own, there really wouldn't be much of an issue here. No matter what, all of your currently cued up tracks in both apps and on the phone would be visible in one place, no matter where in the Watch interface you access it from. In fact, if you stick to using the stand-alone Now Playing app, you can avoid a lot of the confusion I am talking about.
As you can see above, it looks exactly like the Now Playing section inside the Radio app except for one detail- the Watch indicator at the top. This lets you know that the media you are listening to is coming from the Watch, rather than your phone.
If you tap the Watch indicator, you get a selection screen where you can switch between controlling music on the Watch or the iPhone.
The only thing missing here is the ability to see what song both the Music or Radio apps have cued up, or link out to either of them. Right now, whichever was used to play music last takes the Apple Watch spot. If I go to the Music app and start a song there, you can see that the result here changes to match.
However, another monkey-wrench comes in if you are using the app with an LTE- enabled Watch disconnected from the iPhone, which is kind of the entire purpose of Apple Music integration with the Watch in the first place. As you can see below, the interface of the stand-alone Now Playing app changes, and an the icon for whichever app on the Watch you are playing from appears in place of Watch or iPhone. This part actually makes sense with the phone no longer being an option for playback.
However, if you tap the Radio icon, you are taken to, you guessed it, the Now Playing inside of the app, which doesn't link back to the stand-alone Now Playing app. This part DOES NOT make sense. I'm actually chuckling while writing this. I mean, these are straight up Inception-level interface rabbit holes I am coming across here. I REALLY hope that Apple tightens this up before public rollout.
What is going to confuse the hell out of some people is the fact that the stand-alone Now Playing app behaves differently than what they will get if they go to Now Playing inside of Radio or Music on the Watch. The fact that they are so close to each other but have these small differences will drive some users crazy. If Apple will just take the step of unifying around one Now Playing interface, most of the problems above immediately disappear.
No Escape Pod
Podcasts have been with us since early on in the lifecycle of the iPod, but they have absolutely exploded over the last few years. Everyone is getting into the act, including an ever-increasing number of established media outlets and individuals. A stand-alone Podcasts app would seem like a no-brainer for the LTE version of the Watch, as many people prefer to catch up on the spoken word rather than listen to music while exercising. Unfortunately, we don't have this yet. For whatever reason, Apple has either decided to wait this out, or worse, doesn't see a need to add it to its iPod replacement. There are a couple of third party apps that we can use to fill the gap for now, but they don't sync to your existing subscriptions and none that I have tried offers a great user experience at this point.
There is a News and Sports section in the new Radio app, which is a step. However, it still isn't quite the same, as you get what you get from a streaming content channel. The beauty of podcasts is having everything broken down into tidy installments with descriptions. Due to their popularity elsewhere in the iOS ecosystem, I'm inclined to believe that Apple will be bringing Podcasts to the Apple Watch within the next year. That said though, I have no idea why they have waited this long.
Does Apple Music streaming for the Apple Watch work? Yes. Is it confusing? Yes. Is there room for improvement. YES. I tend to look at it this way- the people who want or need this feature are going to figure it out and use it. They will get past the quirks and confusion and that will be that. I will do the same. None of my criticisms above amount to more than mild irritation and a learning curve, so don't read too much into any of this.
As with watchOS and the original Apple Music and News apps on the iPhone, I am betting that Apple will quickly go back to the drawing board on this and get it figured out. This seems to be how they handle interface challenges these days. They roll out a first version that I'm sure they know is flawed, they take user data and a little time, and then they make a far better version 2.
I'm not sure that I love the fact that Apple seems to be ok rolling out beta versions of new products without calling them what they really are. All of us Apple users would be a little better served if they could do a little better job of getting closer on the first try, because all of the above: watchOS 1, the original Music and News apps, and now Apple Music on the Watch, have been pretty rough at the outset. There's no getting around that. However, the way they handled those earlier challenges gives me confidence that Apple Music Streaming on the Apple Watch won't fall through the cracks. It will get polished up in version 2, and I expect all of this interface confusion to disappear. Until then, what we have works, and I guess that's fine for now.

PM UPDATE: The 2014 hurricane season doesn't start until May 15 in the eastern Pacific, but the National Hurricane Center began tracking the first area of disturbed weather with potential for development today.
Forecasters gave the system, dubbed 90E, a 30 percent chance of becoming the season's first tropical depression, or Tropical Storm Amanda, over the next two days as it moves north and then northeast toward the southwest coast of Mexico. They said conditions were "marginally favorable" for development but that heavy rains would begin to affect Mexico over the next few days.
A few early computer models show the system — or its remnants — moving into the Gulf of Mexico late in the week.
ORIGINAL POST: The National Climate Assessment (NCA) was released today, focusing on climate change in the U.S. with a look at various regions of the country, including the Southeast and Florida.
The U.S. government report notes that sea level rise "presents major challenges to South Florida's existing coastal water management system due to a combination of increasingly urbanized areas, aging flood control facilities, flat topography, and porous limestone aquifers.
"For instance, South Florida's freshwater well field protection areas lie close to the current interface between saltwater and freshwater, which will shift inland with rising sea level, affecting water managers' ability to draw drinking water from current resources.
Here's an interesting commentary on the NCA rollout from Marshall Shepherd, a member the NOAA Science Advisory Board, on the Washington Post's Capital Weather Gang website.
ANTARCTICA AS A WILD CARD: Massive amounts of ice locked up in East Antarctica could be released into the oceans and trigger a 13-foot sea level rise over the next thousand years if a rim of ice currently holding it in place melts away, researchers said Monday.
ON THE RISE: The chance of an El Niño this summer or fall exceeds 70 percent, Australia's Bureau of Meteorology said in an assessment released today. The phenomenon of warmer-than-normal water in the tropical Pacific Ocean — which has a major impact on weather in North America and elsewhere — could begin as early as July, analysts said.
In the U.S., the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) put the probability of an El Niño starting in July at just over 50 percent. Its report was released Monday.
Speculation continues among meteorologists that this year's El Niño could be the strongest since the 1997-1998 event. | RedPajamaC4_-7356029990360550694 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what guidance his Department has issued on the erection of wind turbines on common land. (323149)
Huw Irranca-Davies
DEFRA has published guidance setting out its policy in relation to the determination of applications to the Secretary of State for consent under section 38 of the Commons Act 2006 to construct restricted works on common land in England, and under section 16(1) of the 2006 Act to deregister and exchange common land in England.
The guidance is published on the DEFRA website at:
www.defra.gov.uk/rural/protected/commonland/protect-consent.htm#guide
The guidance explains the Secretary of State's view, in relation to the erection of wind farms on registered common land, that:
"4.13 The Secretary of State wishes to promote sustainable energy generation in an appropriate setting, but equally, his policy is to ensure that the stock of commons is not diminished, that works on common land must maintain or improve the condition of the common, and the use must be consistent with its status as common land. To balance these issues our expectation is that applications for such infrastructure projects on common land are more likely to be successful under section 16 of the Act, so that an exchange of land is proposed and can be taken into account. An application for consent to such works under section 38 will rarely be granted unless there are convincing reasons why an application under section 16 cannot be pursued." | RedPajamaCommonCrawl_-6831100928112503480 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Hunt Trucks Wimbledon Britain, a future transport leader?
The Queen's Speech recently announced a new Autonomous and Electric Vehicle Bill, which aims to make Britain a world leader in future transport. For the uninitiated however, these words are mere jargon and have little impact on our everyday driving – or do they?
Autonomous vehicles, simply put, are those driverless cars you see Google and Uber trialling – or the vehicles that have been skittering around Greenwich over the past year. They're gathering pace quite rapidly, and there is expected to be 10 million self-driving cars on our roads by 2020.
Whereas autonomous vehicles exist in beta trials and prototypes currently, electric vehicles are far more commonplace. There are now more than 2 million electric vehicles globally – particularly in Norway and China. To drive adoption further, under the new Bill, all motorway service stations will be required to have electric charging points – which removes one of the main barriers to electric car adoption: the ability to re-fuel with ease.
The Government's stance is not a surprising one, given the benefits of both technologies. Electric cars produce fewer carbon emissions, obviously, and could even save drivers money in the long run. The main downside to electric vehicles at the moment is the availability of charging points. It is still a developing technology; so fuelling points aren't as widespread as petrol stations. That said, the Autonomous and Electric Vehicle Bill will solve a big part of that problem.
Autonomous vehicles are a little more left field. The technology is still in its infancy and monopolised by large tech giants. The benefits of autonomous vehicles lie in their efficiency and safety. Take the human element out of driving and you remove the human error that can cause accidents; human endurance that means you cannot drive for long periods of time and human inefficiency – it's far easier for a computer to know exactly when to change gears to save on fuel consumption, for instance.
Whatever the future of our roads, the UK Government has made it clear that it intends for Britain to be miles ahead of the competition. As for what that means for the future of the automotive industry in the UK, well, we can only wait and see. | RedPajamaC4_-4637493111519404012 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Looking back at the New York Mets career of the franchise's greatest shortstop, Jose Reyes.
A former New York Mets All-Star and one of my personal favorite players has officially ended his MLB career. Shortstop Jose Reyes recently announced the end of his major league career after sitting out during the 2019 season and the shorted 2020 campaign.
While Reyes was a polarizing player during his tenure in New York but was always a remarkable athlete. In fact, he is widely considered to be the best shortstop in the history of the franchise. He currently holds the club record with 408 stolen bases and 113 triples. He is also the single-season franchise record holder in at-bats (262) and steals (78).
He finished his 16-year career with 2,138 hits, 145 homers, 719 RBI, 517 steals, and a .283 batting average. His career steals mark is the 33rd best in MLB history. When you add in his four All-Star appearances, 2011 NL batting champion title, and 2006 Silver Slugger award, you see the full extent of his phenomenal career.
While he was not able to compile a resume worthy of serious consideration for the illustrious MLB Hall of Fame, Reyes will likely earn an honorable mention. In fact, some credible analysts have placed his chances as high as 23.2%.
The Mets Legacy
Reyes spent 12 of his 16 major league seasons in blue and orange. He began his career as a Met and made the transition from an interesting prospect to superstar. While he developed into a dangerous hitter, it was Reyes' blazing speed that set him apart from most of the league. He was a truly electric talent.
While he was never able to achieve great postseason success during his tenure in New York, Reyes paired with fellow superstar David Wright to form a fun era team history. He was a key member of the 2006 squad that reached the NLCS, as well as a member of the NL Wild Card team in 2016.
Reyes' presence on the roster made the team worth watching. He was one of the rare players where, if you blinked, you feared that you might miss something great. The shortstop's speed and athleticism allowed him to make incredible defensive plays. While he lacked overall consistency with his glove, he has an incredible highlight reel.
He was also an absolute terror on the base paths. He could turn routine grounders into hits and perceived singles into doubles and triples. And he was a constant threat to steal a base. It seemed as though he as a virtual lock to swipe second every time he made it to first.
After a brief whirlwind that saw Reyes play as a member of the Toronto Blue Jays, the Miami Marlins, and the Colorado Rockies, the longtime Met made his way back to Queens for a second stint with the team from 2016-2018. He served as a valuable utility player and pinch hitter/runner during his time back in New York.
Thank You, Jose
While some may remember Reyes for his inconsistency, his lack of postseason success, or the perpetual feeling that he could have reached greater heights, I choose to remember him for what he was: an icon on the team and a ridiculously fun player to watch.
A look back at the 2015 Yoenis Cespedes trade. Next
I wish him the best in his post-playing career, and hopefully, look forward to reminiscing about his greatness the first time his name comes up on a ballot for Cooperstown. | RedPajamaCommonCrawl_-4631897429527775066 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

I am in love with color, movement, and energy. I paint with passion, standing up at an easel, listening to loud music. I work spontaneously to generate excitement and action. Then I stop and stare at the painting until it tells me to begin again. After many days and layers of paint, the discovery is complete. | RedPajamaC4_3762242355777720145 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
In the late 1930s, despite a lingering Great Depression and a looming World War, my father had it made. He had recently completed a three-year apprenticeship to become a first-class machinist, and he had a good job at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard where his father, as a Spanish-American War veteran, had enjoyed guaranteed employment and had risen to become the superintendent of the shipyard paint factory. Then too, Leger Joynes was a very handsome, trim-figured, dark-haired man who drove a brand new Ford Coupe.
The Joynes homestead in the Fairmount Park section of Norfolk, Virginia was not glorified by class because the family maintained acres of garden crops and fruit trees, as well as coops of egg-laying chickens. The family was thus considered prosperous during the Depression, even to the extent that they had a tennis court in the side yard of the house.
The approaching "Golden Age" of the middle-class working family allowed my father the luxury of owning two tuxedos, one with a white dinner jacket. And although he was not a member of the Cavalier Beach Club, he was a frequent guest at the highly regarded Cavalier Hotel for their "Big Band" dance weekends. In those days, Dad was very well known in Virginia Beach through a web of family interactions that crossed several social classes.
revelers from Norfolk to Virginia Beach. To begin the weekend, they planned to dine and dance in the hotel ballroom, lie around the pool and beaches the next day, and then party all Saturday night to the big band likes of Tommy Dorsey. What lifestyle could be better for young people of their age and social class where they mingled with the truly rich and privileged?
While Dad's date and friends checked into the hotel, he went to the manager's ornate grand hotel office wondering what could be the matter. Dad and the GM were on a first name basis through mutual family friendships, although the formally dressed man behind the desk was old enough to be the 21-year-old's father.
The mechanical repair was a filthy, greasy job down in the dark pit of a pump room. While Dad's friends partied at the best table in the ballroom, he worked throughout the night to fix the pump and fill the swimming pools by morning. Pools filled, the GM's gratitude to Dad was boundless. Even Dad's car was returned to him washed and simonized. Every expense for the weekend incurred at Dad's table was covered. He was treated like a celebrity by the hotel staff wherever he turned.
Soon enough the ebullient times for Dad and his Fairmount Park pals and girlfriends ended. The World War arrived like an Atlantic hurricane, and some of them were lost in the storm of the military violence. Dad tried to join the Navy three different times, but the government would not release him from his job as a leading man in the Naval Yard machine shop. For lack of rationed tires and gasoline, the snazzy Ford Coupe was put up on blocks in the driveway, and Dad took a shabby commuter bus that picked him up on a slow roll in front of his house and delivered him directly to the shipyard. Busses like that ran through almost every working-class neighborhood in Norfolk and Virginia Beach to service the war effort.
I was born in September 1941, about three months before Pearl Harbor and the US entry into the war. My early childhood memories are filled with food rationing and the massive flyovers of military aircraft en route to the war. I did not get to the Cavalier Beach Club until a date took me there to a Sunday afternoon tea dance when I was in college. The old and faded Cavalier Hotel that set high on the sand hill across the coastal road from the Beach Club beckoned to me that day, and I insisted that my date take me in her Impala Chevrolet convertible for a brief tour of the grand dame where my father had celebrated his glory days.
"Maybe we're supposed to tell their stories," she wisely replied. | RedPajamaC4_6453022725496947039 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
Q: javascript window.open in safari I've run into an issue with opening a new window in safari (both ipad and desktop versions) that revolves around the popup blocker. Basically I've found that if window.open isn't called from a click event, safari will block the popup.
The event that is calling window.open is currently onchanged from a list box.
Is there any way other than switching which event we handle to trick safari into allowing a popup in this scenario? (the onchanged event)
A: The safari has a pop-up blocker silencer not show when a link is blocked.
To check if the pop-up blocker is active, go on safari settings > security > something like blocking pop-ups.
To cross it in a simple way, since I can not open a new window, I display an alert showing pop-up blocked.
In my case, I use select inputs to open external links:
HTML
<select id="retailer" class="windowOpen retailer-submenu">
<option value="null">Select one</option>
<option value="http://amazon.com">Amazon</option>
<option value="http://ebay.com">eBay</option>
</select>
Javascript
<script type='text/javascript'>
$('select.windowOpen').change(function(){
var url = $(this).val();
var open = window.open(url);
if (open == null || typeof(open)=='undefined')
alert("Turn off your pop-up blocker!\n\nWe try to open the following url:\n"+url);
});
</script>
The code to check if a pop-up is blocked is just this:
var open = window.open('http://google.com');
if (open == null || typeof(open)=='undefined')
alert("Turn off your pop-up blocker!");
PS: the jquery trigger did not work with me.
A: I don't think there is a way to open a new window in mobile safari other than from a button click. Refer to this StackOverflow Question which is similar. I'm not sure if it will work, but you can look at triggering a button click programatically using jquery's trigger() function.
You might also want to look at options of showing a dialog within your own page, maybe using tools like jquery ui.
HTH!
A: When Safari block the pop uo even if you click the link it appears as its not clicking.you can use below in your capabilities to enable safari popup
"safariAllowPopups": "true"
To Click on the Allow button in Safari Pop up use below code:
((IOSDriver<IOSElement>) driver).context("NATIVE_APP");
((IOSDriver<IOSElement>) driver).findElement(By.id("Allow")).click();
try{
Thread.sleep(5000);
}catch (InterruptedException e){
System.out.println(e);
}

For those whose fingers are far from the pulse, A Man Called Adam blew us away with the release of their first album since 1998, rekindling that Balearic, emotional, pop-not-pop feel they are famous for over 11 sumptuous tracks. Here they get into the RSD swing with a sampler 12" featuring three remixes, one from the band themselves, the others from Brazil's Carrot Green and Norwegian hero Prins Thomas. It's the Full Pupp boss who starts this party, transforming the already ace "Paul At The Disco" into one of his sprawling fireside jams. More mushrooms than MDMA, this trippy transformation makes adept use of the fx units, flips out with spacey synths (think his Jape remix) and keeps on grooving. Next up Carrot Green rocks the acid disco with his version of "Ou Pas", pairing a gurgling acid line with a thick synth bass and those almost Bollywood vocal motifs. Deep disco house for the carnival crowd. Finally, A Man Called Adam take to the desk for their own "Too Much" dub of title track "Farmarama", cutting the vocal to a hypnotic mantra and reinforcing their low slung arrangement into a jazzy house bomb a la Versatile. | RedPajamaC4_-2518505159547115776 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |
"George Zimmerman 6 mugshots since 2012," read the meme the outspoken radio host's team uploaded to his official Instagram account Friday, Feb. 8.
Then, a list of violent incidents and charges against him followed. They include domestic violence, aggravated assault, threatening to kill a motorist and pointing a gun at his girlfriend's father.
"And Trayvon Martin was the THUG?" the meme concluded.
Outrage and protests followed, as well as a trial in 2013 that saw Zimmerman get acquitted of second-degree murder charges.
Since Martin's killing, Zimmerman has racked up a host of other mugshots and headlines related to his violence. In 2015, he was arrested for aggravated assault when he threw a wine bottle at his girlfriend.
A year later, he was accused of breaking an iPad during a dispute with his estranged wife. Initially, she told a dispatcher her husband had a gun but withdrew her claim later. A lack of evidence led to no charges being filed.
However, Zimmerman's history of domestic violence dates back to his 2013 arrest on charges of aggravated assault, battery and criminal mischief after Samantha Scheibe, his girlfriend at the time, said he pointed a gun at her face while they were arguing. Zimmerman also smashed her coffee table and pushed her out of their home. But since Scheibe didn't cooperate with officers, a case wasn't launched against him.
Most recently, Zimmerman evaded jail time in a stalking case involving a private investigator working on Jay-Z's documentary about Martin's death. | RedPajamaC4_675455793815708840 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

How to claim the expenses of the mortgage and receive the return of the money that corresponds
The Supreme Court decided on October 19 that it is the bank and not the client who must pay the tax on legal acts documented in the signature of a mortgage , thus correcting its previous doctrine .
The consumer associations, upon hearing the news, celebrated and encouraged the clients that might be affected to claim . But shortly after the Supreme Paralyzed the effects of the sentence and has postponed on Monday the final decision on it to the House of the next November 5 .
However, it is worth asking what are the keys that lie behind this decision of the high court:
What is the mortgage tax?
It is the Tax on Documented Legal Acts of mortgages. It is the most important cost when we talk about a mortgage and it is not the same in all of Spain. Each autonomous community has its own, which normally varies between 0.5% and 1.5%. Until now, the client was the one who had to face that expense. If we use as a reference a deed of 150,000 euros, it moves between 750 and 2,250 euros.
Why did the Supreme correct?
It takes into account, to make this decision, that the registrable business is the mortgage and that the only interested party in the elevation to public deed and the subsequent inscription of those businesses is the lender, that is, the bank. This could also mean a high economic cost for the bank, which would be around 4,000 million euros, according to Moody's agency.
The new ruling corrects what was reflected in February, when the court ruled that the person who had to face the tax of documented legal acts was the client and not the entities with which the loan is subscribed; unanimously, the plenary session of the Civil Court ruled out abuse in the application on the borrower of the tax, something that has now decided to rectify.
Is it retroactive?
20minutes as regards the Voyadefenderte lawyer association, Yaiza Muñiz, "persons claiming from now can benefit from this ruling." Adicae, meanwhile, argues that being an abusive practice "there is no possibility of prescription."
What does the sentence say?
The ruling responds to the appeal filed by the Municipal Housing Company of Rivas Vaciamadrid against a ruling of the Superior Court of Justice of the Community of Madrid in June 2017. The ruling annuls an article of the regulations on property transfer tax and legal acts documented . And it is that it considers that the expression "in the case of deeds of constitution of loan with guarantee will be considered purchaser to the borrower" is contrary to the law.
Who can claim?
According to Muñiz, he can claim "anyone who has formalized a mortgage loan, and who has paid, who are all, the expenses of formalization, among which is not only the tax of Documented Legal Acts".
And should it be claimed now or later?
Facua advises that those who mortgaged between September and October 2014 urgently demand from the Autonomous Treasury the refund of the Tax, before the term expires. According to the organization, it is "fundamental" that the users who signed their loans four years ago claim the reimbursement of the tax to the regional tax administration before the expiration of the statute of limitations period of four years.
According to the Tax Law, the statute of limitations of four years to claim the Treasury begins to be counted within 30 business days from the signing of the deed, but the consumer federation advises that users submit the claim even if they have doubts about whether the term a prescribed.
How can you claim?
It is still not clear. According to some experts, the claim to be effective would have to be made before the courts and foreseeably against the administration that collected the tribute. In this case, the hacienda or tax agency of each Autonomous Community. It would be done with an instance in which reference is made to the fact that the passive subject is the bank and not the user. The claim must be accompanied by a copy of the self-liquidation form of the IAJD, but in the case that they do not have it, they can provide all the possible data for the tax administration to determine the liquidation of the tax.
According to other experts, you would first have to file a claim with the bank and then with the courts. The necessary documentation must be collected. Then, locate the deed of mortgage loan whose expenses are claimed claim, along with notary invoices, property registration, appraisal of the property, agency and this tax. The next step will be to draft a claim document requesting the amounts paid. Asufin calculates that some eight million Spaniards have contracted a mortgage, and on average those affected could claim around 3,000 euros.
Can this decision make mortgages more expensive?
"To the extent that the bank would have to assume the amount of the tax, they will take that money from another side", wields Muñiz. They can do so, he says, "by expanding the conditions of opening or establishing another type of commission." He considers that the consequences may be that the loans are increased, although in a few years a court may question the mortgage clauses again.
What do consumers think?
Among consumers, Facua celebrates the change of criteria and urges the Government and the autonomous communities to "take action" to monitor the reaction of the bank. According to this association, this "excellent news" must change the meaning of the thousands of sentences that will be issued in the coming years. Since Asufin encourage the claim but believe that banks should make the return without a complaint.
And the bank?
Banks, credit unions and credit unions defend their position and claim they have never received "any amount" for mortgage tax and ask for "more legal security and clear rules." The entities, the statement said, have always complied with current regulations, "approved more than 20 years ago," and with the settled case-law of the third chamber of the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court, "unanimous, and maintained until very recent dates. ", principle that otherwise has always presided over the relations of the entities with their clients.

Global Ethylene & Propylene Market to Surpass US$ 520,251.9 Million by 2027 - Coherent Market Insights
The global Ethylene & Propylene Market was valued at US$ 325,264.5 million in 2018, and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 5.5 % over the forecast period (2019-2027)
Coherent Market Insights
SEATTLE, Nov. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Key Trends and Analysis of the Ethylene & Propylene Market:
The market of ethylene and propylene is expected to experience significant growth over the forecast period owing to expansion of production capacities by key players in the global market. For instance, in 2017, key players in Asia Pacific announced the expansion of their ethylene and propylene production capacities, including, Jiangsu Sailboat (China - 320 thousand tons per year), KPIC (South Korea - 330 thousand tons per year), Shenhua Ningmei (China - 430 thousand tons per year), Lotte Titan (Malaysia – 92 thousand tons per year), and Shaanxi Yanchang (China - 300 thousand tons per year). However, the introduction of stringent regulations by governments all over the globe on the use of plastic is expected to hamper the growth of the market.
The ethylene & propylene market is also expected to experience growth opportunities with the introduction of green ethylene. Green ethylene is produced by dehydration of bio-ethanol, which is produced using corn, sugarcane, cellulose or agricultural waste. This method serves as an alternative for fossil fuel-based ethylene production. The method is called 'green ethylene' as it uses renewable resources as raw materials.
Key players in the market are focused on adopting various business strategies such as acquisitions in order to enhance their product portfolio. For instance, in June 2019, Chevron Phillips Chemical acquired Nova Chemicals, a company owned by UAE-based Mubadala, for US$ 15 billion. This acquisition is expected to help Chevron Phillips strengthen its position in North America as a producer of high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Moreover, in May 2017, ExxonMobil Corporation acquired Jurong Aromatics Corporation which has ethylene production capacity of 1.9 million tons per year.

Christopher Rea was born in Middlesbrough in the North Riding of Yorkshire in a Roman Catholic family[12] to an Italian father, Camillo Rea (died December 2010),[13] and an Irish mother, Winifred Slee (died September 1983),[14] as one of seven children.[15] The name Rea was well known locally thanks to Camillo's ice cream factory and café chain.[4][13][16] During his childhood Rea went almost every summer for a few months to Italy, and at the age of 12 started to work as a table clearer in the coffee bar, and soon in making the ice-cream in the factory. Initially he was interested to learn about and improve the business, but his ideas did not get support from his father, and he eventually left and was replaced by one of his brothers.[17] His early ambition was to be a journalist and he went to St Mary's College in Middlesbrough.[18]
1970s–82: Early career and "Fool (If You Think It's Over)"Edit
It was at the comparatively late age of 21–22 that Rea bought his first guitar,[15][19] a 1961 Hofner V3 and 25-watt Laney,[20] after he left school.[21] With regard to his guitar playing technique, "bottleneck" also known as slide guitar, and music style, Rea developed it with inspiration of Charlie Patton (who he heard on the radio and initially erroneously thought his playing sounded like a violin),[19][22][20] but also Blind Willie Johnson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe,[22] as well by the success of then contemporary Ry Cooder and Joe Walsh.[19][23] He was also listening to Delta blues musicians like Sonny Boy Williamson II and Muddy Waters,[24] especially gospel blues,[20] and opera to light orchestral classics to develop his style.[14] He recalls that "for many people from working-class backgrounds, rock wasn't a chosen thing, it was the only thing, the only avenue of creativity available for them",[24] and that "when I was young I wanted most of all to be a writer of films and film music. But Middlesbrough in 1968 wasn't the place to be if you wanted to do movie scores".[24] Due to his late introduction to music and guitar playing compared to Mark Knopfler and Eric Clapton, Rea commented how "I definitely missed the boat, I think".[19] He was self-taught,[21] and soon tried to join a friend's group, The Elastic Band, as the first choice for guitar or bass, but according to his father's advice he did not start because the payment was not enough to pay the costs. He found himself working casual labouring jobs, including working in his father's ice cream business.[25] Rea commented that at that time he was "meant to be developing my father's ice-cream cafe into a global concern, but I spent all my time in the stockroom playing slide guitar".[22]
In 1973 he joined the local Middlesbrough band Magdalene, which at a different time featured David Coverdale who went on to join Deep Purple.[4][15][21][26] He began by writing the band's songs, and only took up singing because the singer in the band did not show up.[15] Rea then went on to form the band The Beautiful Losers with which in 1975 he received the Melody Maker Best Newcomers award, but as he secured a solo recording deal with independent Magnet Records,[23] and released his first single entitled "So Much Love" in 1974,[27] the band split in 1977.[25][28] In 1977 he performed on Hank Marvin's album The Hank Marvin Guitar Syndicate and also guested on Catherine Howe's EP The Truth of the Matter.[1] In the same year was recorded his first album, but according to Michael Levy (co-founder of Magnet) it was started all over again because it did not capture his whole talent.[29]
In 1978, Whatever Happened to Benny Santini? was Rea's debut studio album. It was released in June and was produced by Elton John's record producer Gus Dudgeon.[30] The title of the album was a reference to "Benjamin Santini", the stage name that Rea sarcastically invented but the record label insisted that he should adopt.[1][24] The album peaked at No. 49 on the Billboard Hot 200, and charted for 12 weeks.[31] The first single taken from the album, "Fool (If You Think It's Over)", was Rea's biggest hit in the US, peaking at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary Singles chart.[32][33] Like most of Rea's early singles, "Fool (If You Think It's Over)" failed to appear on the UK Singles Chart on its first release and only reached No. 30 when was re-released in late 1978 to capitalise on its U.S. achievement.[5] The overall success was Magnet Records' major breakthrough and their first Top-10 success in the U.S., making Rea their biggest artist. Levy remembers him as "more of a thoughtful, introspective poet than a natural pop performer" which stopped him from becoming not only a major star, but a megastar.[29] However, as the record label had the idea of him being a mix of piano-playing singer-songwriters Elton John and Billy Joel,[24] it gave the record buyers a different impression of him than what he felt was correct for three or four years.[19] Rea noted that the hit song "is still the only song I've ever not played guitar on, but it just so happened to be my first single, and it just so happened to be a massive hit",[19] and that he "always had a difficult relationship with fame, even before my first illness. None of my heroes were rock stars. I arrived in Hollywood for the Grammy Awards once and thought I was going to bump into people who mattered, like Ry Cooder or Randy Newman. But I was surrounded by pop stars".[34][35]
Dudgeon went on to produce Rea's next studio album Deltics (1979), then Rea was able to record the third Tennis (1980) with members from Middlesbrough, which received positive reviews.[25] He soon became married, and as both albums failed commercially the record company refused even his artwork cover for the fourth album Chris Rea (1982), which was untitled.[25] The albums did not manage to enter Top 50 in the UK, and failed to provide further hit singles, as "Diamonds" reached No. 44 and "Loving You" No. 88 on the Billboard Hot 100.[36][37] Rea has since spoken about the difficult working relationship he had at the time with Dudgeon and other "man in suits" who he felt 'smoothed out' the blues-influenced elements of his music.[24][38][25] He recalls that "always thought that they [producers] knew best. I never thought for a minute that they might have another agenda", and "all of a sudden [since 1978] I was the goose that laid the golden egg, and it was hell for me",[22] however that "can't blame anyone but myself. I gave them what they wanted rather than what I wanted".[39]
1983–2000: European breakthrough and success, The Road to Hell and AubergeEdit
Chris Rea in the 1980s
Since 1983, his music began to sound according to his wishes and capabilities, mostly because he was in a situation of pressure from the record company, due to the accumulated costs of the production for his previous four albums that they accepted his demo tapes of his fifth studio album Water Sign. After finding out that Dudgeon made more money than he did, Rea changed manager and went on a UK club tour, and then on to a 60-date tour as a support act for Canadian band Saga.[25] Suddenly, even to his record company's surprise,[25] the album became a hit in Ireland and Europe, selling over half a million copies in just a few months and the single "I Can Hear Your Heartbeat" lifted from it entered the top 20 across Europe.[27] With the album's success and following Wired to the Moon (1984), which was his first Top 40 in the UK (#35[40]), Rea began to focus his attention on touring continental Europe and built up a significant fan base. He particularly became popular in Germany, and believes this audience saved his career as there was no "image-led market", but only "by music and by word of mouth".[25] It was not until 1985's million-selling Shamrock Diaries and the songs "Stainsby Girls" (a tribute to the girls – including his wife – that he knew from Stainsby secondary modern school near Middlesbrough[41]) and "Josephine" (a tribute to his daughter) that UK audiences began to take notice of him.[25]
His following albums were also million-selling On The Beach (1986), and Dancing with Strangers (1987), including his first Top 20 UK single "Let's Dance" (No. 12[40]),[4] with the latter album reaching No. 2 on the UK albums chart, being behind Michael Jackson's Bad.[25] It was not until 1987 that he could pay off the amassed £320,000 debt to the record company, and start to receive significant revenue.[42] In 1986 he was a support act along The Bangles and The Fountainhead for Queen at Slane Concert for an estimated 80,000 audience,[43] and The Dancing with Strangers tour in 1987 saw Rea sell out stadium size venues for the first time across the world, including Wembley Arena twice,[25] as well as having concerts in Japan.[29] In early 1988 for the first time he was in Australia, while in America signed with Tamla Motown, however, being told that I 'should stay and tour there for three years', on behalf of his family he did not accept it. He commented that at the time he realized that "I could be as big as I liked, if I was prepared to do the touring".[25]
His following album was his first compilation, New Light Through Old Windows (1988), which reached No. 5 in UK,[40] was another million seller and included re-workings of his then hit singles.[4] Some of them were successful in the US, as new song "Working On It" reached No. 73 on Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Mainstream Rock chart,[32][44] while the re-recorded version "On the Beach (1988)" reached Top 10 on the Adult Contemporary chart,[45] also No. 12 in UK.[40] It was followed by an international tour with over 45 dates.[25]
His next studio album was Rea's major breakthrough.[4] The Road to Hell (1989) enjoyed massive success and became his first No. 1 album in the UK, being certified 6× Platinum by BPI until 2004.[46] This accomplishment could not be mirrored in the US where it only reached No. 107[47] in spite of the single track "Texas" achieving extensive radio airplay, and single "The Road to Hell (Part 2)" peaking at No. 11 on Mainstream Rock chart.[48] The title track was Rea's first and only UK Top 10 single.[40] Rea appeared and performed on the Band Aid II project's single "Do They Know It's Christmas?" in December 1989.[4] His next album Auberge (1991) was also a No. 1 UK and European hit album, including the single of the same title which reached Top 20 in UK.[40]
After Auberge, Rea released God's Great Banana Skin (1992) which reached No. 4 in the UK,[4] while the single "Nothing to Fear" gave him another Top 20 hit.[40] A year later album Espresso Logic hit the Top 10 and "Julia", written about his second daughter, gave him sixth and last Top 20 single position.[40] The album was partly promoted by Rea taking part in the British Touring Car Championship, although he was eliminated in the first round.[4] In 1994 was released another million-selling compilation The Best of Chris Rea, which peaked at No. 3 in UK,[40] and in 1996 released soundtrack La Passione. In 1998 released fourteenth studio album The Blue Cafe, and it made to the UK Top 10. In 1999, 10 years after Road to Hell, Rea released electronica album The Road to Hell: Part 2, which never made the UK Top 40. In 2000, he released King of the Beach, which hit the UK Top 30.[40]
2001–05: Illness and return to bluesEdit
Rea's health problems started in 1994 with stomach ulcers. A year later he had peritonitis, and several operations followed.[34][49] In 2000 he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Between 2000 and 2001 he underwent a Whipple procedure[22][39][50][51] by which he lost the head of the pancreas and part of duodenum, bile duct, and gall bladder.[21][34] Since having his pancreas removed, Rea had problems with diabetes and a weaker immune system and had to take thirty-four pills and seven injections a day.[52] He has undergone several operations.[21][34] Nevertheless, he found greater appreciation for life, his family, and the things he loves.[21][34][53]
In an interview he said, "it's not until you become seriously ill and you nearly die and you're at home for six months, that you suddenly stop, to realize that this isn't the way I intended it to be in the beginning. Everything that you've done falls away and you start wondering why you went through all that rock business stuff."[21] A record company offered him millions of dollars to do a duets album with music stars.[14] But having promised himself that if he recovered he would return to his blues roots,[22] he started the record label Jazzee Blue to free himself from the company's expectations and recorded Dancing Down the Stony Road (2002), which reached No. 14[40] and was certified Gold by BPI.[14][21][22] He wanted the label to be a place "where musicians came and made a record" of this kind of music, releasing several blues and jazz albums mostly by his band members.[54] He was disappointed with the music business and radio when Michael Parkinson, who supported him to do the record, told him songs longer than three minutes are not allowed to be played anymore.[42]
Rea released Blue Street (Five Guitars) and Hofner Blue Notes in 2003 and The Blue Jukebox in 2004.[21] In 2005 he released Blue Guitars, a box set of 11 CDs and 137 blues-inspired tracks with his paintings as album covers.[35] Rea said, "I was never a rock star or pop star and all the illness has been my chance to do what I'd always wanted to do with music [...] the best change for my music has been concentrating on stuff which really interests me".[35]
2006–present: Continuation of blues albums and toursEdit

In February 2008, Rea released The Return of the Fabulous Hofner Blue Notes, dedicated to the dedication to the 1960s Hofner guitar, with 38 tracks on three CDs and two vinyl, which included a hardback book of his paintings.[21] The release of the album was followed by a European tour.[55] visiting various venues across the UK, including the Royal Albert Hall in London.[56]
In October 2009, Rea released the compilation Still So Far to Go which contained some of his best known (and lesser known) hits over the last thirty years, as well as songs from his "blues" period.[35] Two new songs were included, "Come So Far, Yet Still So Far to Go" and the ballad "Valentino".[35] The albumreached No. 8[40] and was certified Gold by BPI. In January 2010 Rea started the European tour, called "Still So Far to Go".[35] His special guest on stage was Irish musician Paul Casey. The tour ended on 5 April at Waterfront Hall in Belfast.[35]
In September 2011, Chris Rea released Santo Spirito Blues, which contained two feature-length films on DVD written and directed by him and two accompanying CDs of the soundtracks, and one regular CD of studio album songs.[57] In October and November, he underwent two surgical procedures.[58] On 3 February 2012 the Santo Spirito Tour started at Congress Center Hamburg in Hamburg, Germany, with additional visits to Poland, Russia, Ukraine, Hungary, Switzerland, Netherlands, Belgium and France. The United Kingdom part of the tour commenced in the middle of March and finished on 5 April at Hammersmith Apollo in London.[57]
In November 2014, Rea embarked on a European tour called The Last Open Road Tour, while the UK part of the tour commenced on 1 December in Manchester and ended on 20 December in London.[59][60] He also performed at the 2014 Montreux Jazz Festival.[61][62]
In 2016, Rea suffered a stroke, which left him with slurred speech and reduced movement in his arms and fingers. Soon afterwards he quit smoking to deter further strokes and recovered enough to record and tour.[63] In September 2017, he released his twenty-fourth album, Road Songs for Lovers, and embarked on a European tour starting in October until December.[64][65] On 9 December, Rea collapsed during a performance at the New Theatre Oxford, the 35th concert of the tour.[66] He was taken to hospital, with his condition stabilized,[67] and the last two concerts cancelled.[68]
GuitarsEdit
Rea playing his Italia Maranello "Bluey" at the Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam, 2010
Rea's first guitar was Höfner Verithin 3, which he bought in a second-hand shop because at the time there was not a great guitar choice in Middlesbrough.[22] He played V3 until 1979, although it was a "dreadful guitar with an appalling action, but playing slide it didn't matter".[69] During his career, the most recognisable guitar was 1962 Fender Stratocaster called "Pinky", which he bought after a Ry Cooder concert at the City Hall in Newcastle. The guitar once was submerged in water for three months and was more mellow in sound compared to the classic hard Stratocaster sound. Since 2002 Dancing Down the Stony Road, his main guitar was Italia Maranello called "Bluey".[20][69]
Personal lifeEdit
Family lifeEdit
Rea is married to Joan Lesley, with whom he has been in a relationship since they met as teenagers on 6 April 1968 in their native Middlesbrough.[25][35] They have two daughters, Josephine, born 16 September 1983, and Julia Christina, born 18 March 1989.[19] Josephine lectures on Renaissance art in Florence and Julia is at University of St Andrews.[53] Rea used to live at Cookham, Berkshire, where he owned Sol Mill Recording Studios and produced some of his later albums.[21][22]
Cars and motor racingEdit

Rea is a fan of historic motor racing and races a Ferrari Dino,[52] a Ferrari 328,[70] and a 1955 Lotus 6,[70][71][72] and managed to race at Monza circuit.[73] He owned and raced the 1964 Lotus Elan 26R,[70][74][75] and the well known Caterham 7 from the Auberge album cover,[76] until it was sold in 2005 with all proceeds (£11,762) going to the charity NSPCC.[77] He also owned Ferrari 330 which was used as a donor car for the replica of Ferrari 250 Le Mans used in the 1996 movie La Passione.[78] In 2014, he was completing a 22-year restoration of an original replica of a Ferrari 156 Sharknose Formula One racing car.[19] He also joined Historic Racing Drivers Club, where he drives a 1957 Morris Minor 1000 police car.[63]
He has taken the opportunity to get involved in Formula One on a few occasions, including as a pit lane mechanic for the Jordan team during the 1995 Monaco Grand Prix.[79] He recorded a song, "Saudade", in tribute to three-time Formula One world champion Ayrton Senna. It featured prominently in the BBC documentary movie.[80]
PoliticsEdit
In August 2008, it was erroneously reported that Rea had donated £25,000 to the Conservative Party.[81] This was followed by further claims in 2009 by The Times that Rea has been a longtime supporter of the Conservative Party,[82][verification needed] and incorrect reports in April 2010, just weeks before the UK general election, that Rea had donated a further £100,000 to the Conservatives.[83] The donations were in fact made by a businessman called Chris Rea and not the musician.[84] This error has been acknowledged by The Daily Mail newspaper, which printed a retraction.[85]
In an interview in 2012, Chris Rea denied those claims and noted that this was a classic example of how dangerous the internet can be, while criticising the politicians and government of the UK and EU as remote from the common people.[58] He is sceptical about the idea of unification of Europe because with a common European market "you cannot force different people to live together [when] they simply do not want to",[58] recalling the downfall of Yugoslavia.[58]
Other interestsEdit
When he is not writing songs, other interests include gardening and particularly painting.[73] Rea says that he likes to "read a lot and even though I chose music, journalism was my first passion. I wanted to be a journalist and write about car racing [...] somewhere deep down I believe I could have been a decent journalist".[58]
FilmographyEdit
One of his childhood dreams was to become a film writer and film music composer.[15][24] Rea wrote the title track and music score for the 1993 drama film Soft Top Hard Shoulder,[86][87] 1996 film La Passione, and had a cameo role in it.[4] Rea was the lead actor in the 1999 comedy film Parting Shots, alongside Felicity Kendal, John Cleese, Bob Hoskins and Joanna Lumley.[15] Rea, ironically, played a character who was told that cancer gave him six weeks to live and decided to kill those people who had badly affected his life.[4][15] Afterwards, two feature-length films were made for the Santo Spirito Blues project, just "so that I could do the music".[15]
References in lyricsEdit
Rea has acknowledged that several of his songs were "born out of Middlesbrough", his hometown. The verse "I'm standing by a river, but the water doesn't flow / It boils with every poison you can think of" from "The Road to Hell",[21] the songs "Steel River" which refers to a nickname for River Tees,[88][89] and "Windy Town,[21] reflect Rea's feelings about the industrial decline of Middlesbrough and the re-development of the town centre while he was out of the country touring through the years:
"I went back to see my father after my mother had died and the fuckers had knocked the whole place down. I'd been gone three years, hard touring in Europe. I literally went to drive somewhere that wasn't there. It was like a sci-fi movie. The Middlesbrough I knew, it's as if there was a war there 10 years ago."[25][90]
"I miss the bits of Middlesbrough that aren't there any more. It's very hard to accept that Ayresome Park no longer exists. I know I sound very old when I say things like that. Those terraced streets are no longer there. But I miss the old character of the place, the guys with the fruit barrows and all that."[21]

'Young Justice: Phantoms' Fashions New Take on Adolescent Heroes
For executive producers / showrunners Greg Weisman and Brandon Vietti, their Emmy Award-winning series is about teenagers first, spies second, and superheroes a distant third; new Season 4 episodes air each week through December 30 on HBO Max.

The DC Universe has produced a lot of teen and young adult-focused hero shows, from Teen Titans to Legion of Super Heroes. But the Emmy Award-winning Young Justice, now in its fourth season and currently airing on HBO Max, still found a place to belong – and shine - in a long line of successful series.
"We decided that this was going to be a show about teenagers first, a spy show second, and then a superhero show kind of a distant third," says Greg Weisman, executive producer and showrunner with Brandon Vietti on the series. "Instead of making it about five characters in a tower, with no sense of where they'd come from, or who their family was, we really got into their backstories. It's a spy show, so we thought, 'What if we make this about secrets and lies? And what if this is a show that encompasses the entire DC Universe, but just from the point of view of these younger heroes?'"
And that became Weisman and Vietti's show. Taking place in an alternate DC universe known as Earth-16, Young Justice follows the lives of teenage superheroes and sidekicks - such as Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Superboy, Red Arrow, Miss Martian, Artemis, and others - who are part of a covert operations group attached to the well-known Justice League. In this world, superheroes are a recent phenomenon, and supervillains have begun conspiring together on behalf of a group of key baddies known as The Light.
The newest season, Young Justice: Phantoms, which proceeds Young Justice: Outsiders, began airing episodes in October with one episode releasing weekly every Thursday through December 30. The series is produced by DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation.
"We've tried very hard every season to give each season its own unique voice," says Vietti. "Greg and I both like shows that reinvent themselves while also respecting everything that came before, so that you still get the show you love but with a slightly different flavor than the season before."
He continues, "There's an evolution that's happening through the show that echoes exactly what we're trying to do with the evolution of our characters. With our fourth season, I think the biggest thing fans will notice, and have begun to notice, is that we are creating arcs with our stories. And we're giving our core characters from Season 1 their own space to tell a larger and more contained story in small arcs as the season progresses. And this allowed us to try some different things with story structure that we've never done before. I can't reveal all those things. But as the structure continues to unfold through the season, I think fans will start to see what we're doing and hopefully be entertained."
Since it first premiered in 2010, Young Justice has been making waves in the superhero spheres for its originality and mature storylines. It's hard to believe Weisman and Vietti - both amply experienced in superhero shows such as The Batman and Spider-Man the Animated Series - were highly opposed to the idea of the show at first.
"Going back to 2009, Brandon and I had been teamed up by our boss Sam Register [President of Warner Bros. Animation] to develop one show that didn't go and then another show that didn't go and then Sam suggested Young Justice, and our immediate reaction was 'No,'" says Weisman. "At the time, Teen Titans and Justice League Unlimited had just finished up and were very much in everyone's minds. And they were great shows, very different from each other and seemed to cover that territory between them. And we were like, 'What would we do that would make this different?'
It was Vietti's idea to make the series into a spy show rather than primarily a superhero series. That, according to Weisman, got the gears rolling and was the start of a revolutionary show in DC's television arsenal.
"As always, the best idea comes from Brandon," says Weisman "And when you throw in on top of that the art styles of Phil Bourassa, who was our original character designer for the first three seasons and the art director last season, it really felt like, suddenly, we had our own space, or could carve out our own space and have a fresh take on all this."
While the spy angle certainly got production off the ground, both showrunners say it was their team's commitment to adding "heightened realism" that had never been seen before in a superhero series that gave Young Justice its notoriety.
"Greg, Phil, and I sat down at the beginning and together tried to come up with different textures that would add to the reality that we were trying to depict on screen that would help separate us from the great superhero shows that came before us," says Vietti. "We knew that we wanted to tell the story in a very realistic way and wanted our audience to feel time passing. We wanted to age the characters as we went. That's when Greg came up with timestamps, tracking real time through every episode, through every season."
"Which is something I've regretted ever since," jokes Weisman. "There's just way too much math involved. But I do think it helped the show."
Vietti and Bourassa did their part in making sure that, from Season 1 through Season 4, each character also had their own unique wardrobe and didn't look like every hero and villain in the show, as Weisman puts it, "shopped for their costumes at the same store."
"But we've actually moved a little bit away from that very consciously," he continues. "Because now that the heroes are teaming up and the villains are teaming up, they do have access to each other's finds and discoveries. For example, I saw a lot of tweets about how - spoilers for anyone who hasn't seen the show yet - when Connor goes into the lava in Episode 4 of this new season, his shirt, pants, and shoes burn off, but his underwear doesn't. That seems like a cheat, except Connor knows Fire from the Justice League who has clothing that doesn't burn off."
Vietti adds, "We also worked with the art directors and storyboard artists to take a more cinematic approach to the storytelling, avoiding shots that might be too anime, too extreme in the drawings with speed lines in the background and those kinds of things that just don't feel realistic. They're awesome graphically. But again, we're trying to depict a realistic world and tell realistic stories."
Of course, there are still blueprints and hidden Easter eggs of classic DC animations - the series even opens in Season 1 with a visit to the Hall of Justice, taken from Super Friends. But with the timestamps on the show, their approach to costume and character design, as well as the cinematography, Vietti and Weisman's goal is to try to have audiences forget that they're watching a cartoon and, instead, make them feel like they are experiencing something very real.
"It really comes down to character," says Weisman. "We have tried to go in-depth into characters to show where those characters start and where those characters grow. Sometimes where those characters backslide. It's one of the great advantages of having a show that moves through time. I grew up on comic books and 70s TV and I love that stuff. But one of the disadvantages is that you're doing season 33 of The Simpsons, and Bart is still 10 years old. What if Bart were 43 now? Wouldn't it be really interesting to see what's going on with Bart and his kids and how Homer is as the grandfather?"
Halting age is also a common characteristic in the superhero genre, and Weisman says he and Vietti have gone against that stereotypical path with each new season of Young Justice, by not only creating a diverse and inclusive group of young heroes that fans have come to adore but using Weisman's timestamps to the fullest to create even more full characters.
"There's a need that comics have to make Superman and Batman consistently 30-years-old or 29-years-old, and never really age," Weisman explains. "That inhibits what you can do story-wise with these characters. But we're not doing that. In our little Earth-16 corner of the DC Multiverse, our character's age and grow in real-time, just like all of us do. And that allows you to really see change. I think that's the thing our audience relates to and cares about. It is the one sort of inherent advantage that we have over a lot of other shows. We have the freedom thanks to DC and Warner Brothers and this season on HBO Max, to let our characters grow."

Revolution from Bulkypix can be said as a new endless game that you can play on both the iOS and Android devices.
This game will test your fast reactions of your tap to go up through each spinning ring while avoiding red to gain a point and score.
In related to the tap, do never wait too long with your tap to move or the walls will crush you.
Here, the circles will give all manner of different challenges, so must try to put up consistent high scores.
To play this game, just send your square through the blue part of the circle while avoiding the pink part of the circle.
During the process, if you hit the pink wall on either circle, you will go back to the beginning and start all over again.
In the mean time, some will not spin at all.
It means that, you can shoot in or out of them anytime you want without having to worry about hitting anything there.
At this point, you will see the one that you are inside of and the one that you are trying to get inside of will also spin at at time.
To solve this, you must wait a little bit of time to get these ones right.
The main point is that you will not have to go into the next circle in hurry, as long as you are not close to the walls before you can jump over it. | RedPajamaC4_8547382950342034291 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Scientists discover link between climate change and biological evolution of phytoplankton
International team's findings follow the astronomical pacing of Earth's orbit
image: Emergence of new species of the coccolithophere (calcite producing marine algae), paced by approximately 400,000 year variations in the shape of Earth's revolutions around the sun (eccentricity shown in inset) has been documented by the changes in the shape and size of their internal calcite plates shown here in photos obtained from scanning electron microscope. view more

New Brunswick, N.J. (Dec. 1, 2021) – Using artificial intelligence techniques, an international team that included Rutgers-New Brunswick researchers have traced the evolution of coccolithophores, an ocean-dwelling phytoplankton group, over 2.8 million years.
Their findings, published this week in the journal Nature, reveal new evidence that evolutionary cycles in a marine phytoplankton group are related to changes in tropical seasonality, shedding light on the link between biological evolution and climate change.
Coccolithophores are abundant single-celled organisms that surround themselves with microscopic plates made of calcium carbonate, called coccoliths. Due to their photosynthetic activity, mineral production and widespread abundance throughout the world's oceans, coccolithophores play an important role in the carbon cycle.
Scientists have long thought that climate changes' effects on plants, animals and other organisms occur in cycles, which are reversed when each cycle is completed, thus erasing any small evolutionary changes during each cycle. In contrast, evolutionary changes, as known from the fossil record, are non-cyclic trends that occur over millions of years.
But the researchers' new study shows that evolutionary cycles in coccolithophores are attributed to changes in tropical seasonality related to shifts in the Earth's orbit that occur about every 400,000 years. The study may also offer a new understanding of the approximately 400,000 year-long variations in records of the oceans' carbon cycle.
"The production of calcium carbonate by these prolific coccolithophore species likely impacted the chemistry of seawater and the oceanic carbon cycle, which in turn could have significant consequences for Earth's climate through the ocean influence on the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide," said the study's co-author Yair Rosenthal, a Distinguished professor at Rutgers.
The researchers used AI techniques to study the shape of nearly nine million coccoliths from more than 8,000 samples, each representing a point in geological time or space, tracing coccolithophore evolution over 2.8 million years. The samples came from tropical sediment cores from the ocean floor recovered during scientific drilling expeditions.
Automated optical microscopes captured the images, from which species are recognized and their size and weight measured. These size and weight records revealed the presence of cycles lasting 100,000 years and 400,000 years, which correspond to variations in the shape of the rotation of the Earth around the sun, known as the eccentricity of the Earth's orbit. Unexpectedly, these cycles are not the same length as those followed by global climate cycles and glaciations over the last 2.8 million years.
"The eccentricity cycles have multiple effects on the earth," said Luc Beaufort, a lead author of the study. "One of the little-known effects is the periodic appearance of seasons at the equator. At the present time, when Earth follows an almost circular orbit, the equator experiences a very weak change in seasons, but when the orbit is eccentric and shaped more like an ellipse than a circle, seasonal changes in tropical regions become stronger."
This effect on tropical seasonality is different than the cause of seasonality at higher latitudes, which is driven primarily by the inclination of the earth's axis of rotation.
"We modelled the effects of changing seasonality driven by eccentricity in the tropical ocean, demonstrating that the effects on marine ecosystems are significant and could explain the adaptation of coccolithophores to new niches created by these cyclical seasonal conditions," said Clara Bolton, a co-author of the study.
The study included researchers from Rutgers-New Brunswick in the USA and the Centre for Research and Teaching in Environmental Geoscience (CEREGE) in France.

Sonia Rykiel's Quirky Lexicon of Style
by Rykiel, Sonia
Publisher: Flammarion
This high-spirited glossary, illustrated with the designers previously unpublished sketches, is a witty, insightful, and highly personal self-portrait of one of the worlds leading fashion icons. Ordinary? Thats not a word in Sonia Rykiels vocabulary. The one-of-a-kind fashion designers name evokes mystery, luxury, and French elegance. Her career, unique in the history of fashion, has stood the test of time, spanning the blossoming of the feminist movement through the turn of the twenty-first century. Incredibly, her style has remained eminently modern and timeless throughout. For Sonia Rykiel, fashion is not simply a way of dressing, it has become a way of calling things into question, of living, and of taking a stand. This book, presented as a jumbled dictionary of terms, reflects Rykiels maverick, sensual, and impertinent personality and style. From her definitions of everything from dresses to chocolate, through love, her signature stripes, revolution, and perfume, from red and black to obsession and scandal, she invites us inside her vividly imaginative stratosphere in order to understand her unique vision of the world and of fashion. Poetry, narrative, and anecdote combine, along with ninety-one of Rykiels previously unpublished drawings, to produce a beautiful book that is a bold expression of the designers creative universe. | RedPajamaCommonCrawl_-5590249191510618833 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Chicago Cubs' Kris Bryant has giant night with three HRs, two doubles
By Jeff Wallner, The Sports Xchange

CINCINNATI -- Following his third home run on Monday night, Kris Bryant wasn't about to take a curtain call. Not on the road, not at Great American Ball Park.
Even as teammates urged him on and the roaring of thousands of Cubs fans reached a crescendo, Bryant steered clear of the dugout steps.
"I've never been the type to show up an opponent, or anybody," Bryant said. "I don't think that's ever happened in baseball. I definitely didn't want to be the first. I'm not that type of player. I'm glad there were that many Cubs fans there and my teammates were having fun with it."
Bryant already had achieved plenty of firsts on Monday night.
RELATED Arizona takes Game 1 of College World Series title series
He went 5-for-5 while becoming the first player in major league history to hit three home runs along with two doubles, and he also collected a career-high six RBIs, lifting Chicago to an 11-8 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.
Bryant's 16 total bases were a franchise record.
"I'll remember this night for a very long time," said Bryant, who now has 21 homers on the season.
RELATED Minnesota Timberwolves sell shares to China's Jiang
He is also the first player in baseball history to hit three home runs while playing three different positions in a game. Bryant played third base, left field and right field on Monday.
"That has to take it over the top, right there," manager Joe Maddon said. "The question was asked earlier this season if his offense is affected by where he plays defense. I'd say no."
Bryant homered in consecutive at-bats, including a three-run homer in the fourth, then went deep again in the eighth when he and first baseman Anthony Rizzo hit back-to-back homers off Ross Ohlendorf.
RELATED Jury finds Mike Budenholzer not guilty of DUI
Jake Arrieta (12-2) also homered as part of a 17-hit outburst by the Cubs as they overcame a rough outing for their right-handed ace. Making his first start against the Reds since no-hitting them on April 21, Arrieta gave up five earned runs and walked five in five innings.
"I was my own worst enemy tonight," Arrieta said. "Beating yourself in a game like that can't happen. Kris was the reason we won that game."
The Cubs led 8-3 after four innings, but the Reds pecked away at the Chicago bullpen to make it a one-run game heading into the eighth. But that was before Bryant and Rizzo helped Chicago extend the lead and ultimately give Arrieta a victory.
Joey Votto homered twice for Cincinnati, which has lost seven of eight games this season to the Cubs. For Votto, it was his 12th career multi-home run game.
Hector Rondon got the final out for his 14th save of the season.
Dan Straily (4-5) took the loss for Cincinnati, allowing a career-high seven earned runs in 3 2/3 innings.
"So much of it comes down to pitch accuracy," said manager Bryan Price. "You saw it with Arrieta tonight, too. He just wasn't crisp with his command. Same with Dan. You saw a lot of balls on the barrels."
The first inning lasted nearly 30 minutes as Straily and Arrieta struggled.
Jason Heyward singled with one out in the first and scored on Bryant's double into the left-field corner to give the Cubs a 1-0 lead.
The Cubs loaded the bases with one out and Miguel Montero's sacrifice fly drove home the second run.
Adam Duvall doubled in two runs for the Reds to tie the score 2-2.
Bryant untied it in the third when he launched a 1-0 pitch from Straily into the home bullpen in left-center. It was Bryant's 19th home run this season.
His second homer, a three-run shot in the fourth, traveled an estimated 444 feet into the second deck of the left-field bleachers, putting the Cubs ahead 7-3.
It was his second multi-home run game of the season and fifth of his career.
Straily allowed a career-high seven earned runs in 3 2/2 innings.
Arrieta's solo homer to the opposite field, the fifth home run of his career, made the score 8-3 in the fifth.
Votto got in the act for Cincinnati, clubbing his 12th homer of the year, a two-run blast off Arrieta to make the score 8-5.
Bryant handed his bat to a Cubs fan who was celebrating a birthday on Monday night. But, not THE bat.
"I'm using that one tomorrow," Bryant said. "I've never been the superstitious type. But, I ripped my pants in the first inning sliding into third. I'm wearing those until they're done."
NOTES: Per Elias, 3B Kris Bryant is the third player in modern major-league history to have an extra-base hit in each at-bat in a game, with at least five at-bats and three home runs in that game. The others were Josh Hamilton (2012) and Joe Adcock (1954). ... The Cubs selected the contract of RHP Joel Peralta from Iowa on Monday and optioned LHP Gerardo Concepcion to the Triple-A club. Peralta faced two batters in the ninth inning Monday and allowed one home run. ... Reds RHP Jumbo Diaz was recalled from Triple-A Louisville on Monday, filling the roster spot of RHP J.C. Ramirez, who was claimed off waivers by the Los Angeles Angels on Sunday. ... Cubs C Tim Federowicz, who was designated for assignment last week, cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A Iowa. ... Reds RHP Caleb Cotham threw 20 pitches on Monday and plans to begin a minor-league rehab assignment later this week.

Now that the leaders have had an opportunity to get settled in to their new home during the first two months, each has been paired up with a mentor who will accompany them during their time in Seattle and beyond.
Each of the five leaders has been paired with a member of the NPH family in Seattle to be their "friend for the journey." These friends will be companions and mentors that will walk alongside our leaders during their year in Seattle, and continue to be in contact with them in the years to come. One of the program's core goals is for the leaders to make lasting relationships with people they could then turn to in complete confidence to talk about the joys and challenges of their time in Seattle, and the joys and challenges of being a leader in NPH in the future.
Each of the mentors have varying ties with NPH and Friends of the Orphans and serve a particularly vital function of talking about the different experiences the leaders are having in their time living away from NPH and living outside of their own country. Each of the leaders will set up agreeable times to meet with their mentors on a regular basis to be able to chat over a meal, a coffee, or a walk. These mentors will be like many other friends the leaders have and will make here in Seattle, but they will be friends that know NPH and Friends of the Orphans well, and who the leaders know they can talk to in confidence.
The mentors and leaders alike have great hopes for this component of the leadership program and getting to know each other over the course of the year.
Happy Thanksgiving from the NPH International Leadership Program!
May your holiday be blessed with God's grace and love!
by word and deed those who cry out for what I take for granted.
This morning, we had the opportunity to attend the Women in the World breakfast, put on by the Seattle International Foundation (SIF) which supports worldwide poverty alleviation efforts through grant-making and other activities, with a strategic focus on Central America.
Julissa, Wendy and Digyana had the opportunity to meet and talk with grassroots women leaders from around the globe including several from their home countries of Guatemala and Honduras! We were also pleased to chat with Pennye from Etta Projects about a potential leadership project in collaboration with NPH Bolivia.
The words of one of the speakers should remind us all of the purpose in our work with the NPHI leadership program in Seattle. She spoke of standing in the "tragic gap" – of standing in the space between the difficult realities of life and the potential and knowledge of what is possible. As our year here continues, we hope to stand carefully and wisely in that space, empowering these emerging young leaders to return to their home communities better equipped to love and serve well.
Last Tuesday, November 8, 2011, we went to a gathering at iLEAP to hear about Youth Empowerment. iLEAP is a nonprofit organization with a mission to cultivate and inspire a new generation of global citizens and also to collaborate with community leaders throughout Asia, Africa and Latin America. So in this meeting, we met three different people who work in different areas and different countries. When we arrived, we were separated into different groups to listen to the leaders as they explained their projects.
The first leader that I listened to speak was Lucy Luna from El Salvador, she works for an organization called "ASAPROSAR". This organization works with low-income families in El Salvador to improve life quality through healthcare, youth leadership training, environmental and nutritional education, micro-credit, and community development. ASAPROSAR focuses on providing services to children, youth, and women in rural and marginalized urban areas.
Then I heard about Genesis Group from Nicaragua, the person who spoke about the organization was Lidieth Alvarez, she works with local woman entrepreneurs, and she is also active in Youth Training Educational Development, which empowers youth and keeps the community clean and this group also is active in encouraging recycling and composting.
Finally I heard about Claudia Vanesa from Honduras, she works with the "GOJoven organization". This organization gives support and empowerment to young leaders to act as catalysts for social change. These leaders aim to vastly improve and expand adolescent health choices, and programs, both on a community and regional level. They also work in different countries like: Belize, Mexico, Honduras, and Guatemala.
To conclude with the night, we came together one more time in the larger group, and different people talked about their views. I think it was an excellent night and we learned about different projects that are in Central American and how they support young people to create a better future in their countries.
Sunday Morning after a beautiful mass at Our Lady Guadalupe church Emir, Juan, Kristen and I, went to downtown to EMP (Experience Music Project museum). As my first sight, it was a big advertising of the avatar movie (exhibition), which is one of my favorite movies. Inside was an exposition of extraordinary music instruments, the gloves of Michael Jackson, a thousand guitars stacked on top of each other, an exposition of Jimmy Hendrix and of Nirvana, and a story about them and their success in music and other people who were and are important for music.
But my interest was Avatar. Inside there was technology everywhere, everything that they used in the movie, It was very surprising to see how advanced the technology is and so incredible to see how this movie was made. I appreciate the ton of work that they have been made and that I felt in the movie. It was really exciting to me because I really like this movie however I didn't see the actors, producer, or the flying mountains but I saw some pictures of them. I was really excited about this exhibition, I loved it. | RedPajamaC4_-561089659128830134 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

We drove through some torrential rain. I know Great Britain has a reputation for lots of rainfall, but it's usually drizzle or a light shower, and doesn't really have any effect on our daily lives. What we've had so far this "summer", though, has been frequent heavy rainstorms, with big, fat droplets- complete with thunder and lightning, which are uncommon here!
We drove straight through Glasgow, which I loved! Despite the fact that we weren't stopping there, it was nice to see the city I enjoyed so much!
I always think the lowlands look a lot like Georgia, if you exchange the English ivy for kudzu. Oh, and the directions of traffic!
We drove alongside Loch Lomond for quite a while. It's often called the most beautiful loch in Scotland, and, while it is gorgeous, I have a hard time calling it the most beautiful when the Lake of Monteith is nearby- not to mention Loch Awe, Loch Shiel, Loch Leven, and of course Loch Ness!
Dunstaffnage Harbour, outside of Oban. We've arrived!
I feel like I just went on a little roadtrip with you. love it! and I'll take the rain ... I can't get enough of rain. or snow.
this dry, hot weather is not for me.
And that ivy pic totally does look like Georgia! Except the cars coming at you the wrong way. I don't know how I would get used to that.
This rain has been something, hasn't it? It isn't just the normal misty/sprinkly/drizzly rain, but torrential rain for hours. Unbelievable! | RedPajamaC4_3000116344867316895 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Miss West platform promotes positivity

Being positive is something that most would love to be. But it's not always easy, especially if you're struggling with adversities that seem bigger than you can handle.
One young lady from Portsmouth West, however, wants to help those who need that positivity to help them through their struggles.
Molly Taylor, the River Days candidate from Portsmouth West High School, is preparing for her community service event, to be held June 5. Taylor's event is called "Rising Up for Positivity," scheduled fro 6 to 8 p.m. at Portsmouth West High School. It will be presented in two sections. The first will be about an hour. "I will have various guest speakers coming in and talking about the adversities they've faced, and how well they've coped with each of the negative things that have happened in their lives. The second half we will be filling up bags of encouragement called 'Rising Up Bags.' Some of the items we will be filling them up with are bubbles, journals, mirrors, colored pencils, markers, crayons, just anything that people can use to kind of encourage themselves. Along with these there will be signed notes on what positive ways these items can impact them," Taylor says.
Upon first impression, Taylor comes across as a wonderfully positive young lady with a drive and passion that will help her on her journey as Miss West. She has a goal to help people when they do not always feel the slightest bit positive.
Taylor says her platform is called UP, which stands for Ultimate Positivity, that leads to Unlimited Possibilities. What that is is promoting positivity for people who have been through a lot of heartaches and a lot of adversities in their lives. She wants people to see that not everything is bad, to help them realize there is always a rainbow after the rain.
She is partnering with the Southern Ohio Medical Center Cancer Center, Hillview Nursing Home and The Counseling Center, because those "are the kind of people who are down in the dumps and need a little lifting up." The origin of her platform, she says, comes from her grandfather, Tony Taylor, who passed away last year from cancer and was the most positive person she had ever met.
"I really wanted to get the families of those who are also going through that something to look forward to, and to tell them that, although this is happening, there are still other things — good things — that can come out of them."
As for her audience, Taylor is hoping to have a mixed audience, as she will have a younger guest speaker along with an older guest speaker. "That way, anyone who attends my event can relate, not specifically, with what's going on in their lives. I am not raising any money, because my bags are what is going to be sent to facilities like the Cancer Center, Hillview Nursing Home and The Counseling Center. That's kind of my way of giving back to the community." The audience can contribute to the bags, as she will have baskets at the entrance, and if they want to bring anything, they can donate their items. Actually, those wanting to donate don't even have to attend the event. They can just drop off the items and leave. "This will help me with my community service." She says her mother has also been collecting monetary donations from those who prefer not to select items, and they will use money to buy what they need to fill the bags.
Taylor plans on dropping the bags off toward the end of the summer, allowing her to collect throughout the summer. "My goal is 50 bags per facility, but I'm hoping and gunning for more." She says she went to the elementary school and talked to some of the classes that might be interested in bringing in things to help her cause.
When asked how she stays positive, she says, "My key is, I have a really close relationship with God, and that is honestly where this comes from. I attend church, and my youth group and my Bible studies and that kind of gives me my 'click' for the week and to help other people, I can't help other people if I'm hurting myself. I think it's a really good way for me to spread positivity, since I'm such a positive person myself." Taylor has a Facebook page called Miss West 2018.
Taylor spoke of being selected as Miss West and how she felt about it. "My student body selected me as the River Days candidate. I wasn't originally into River Days, but I've known a lot of people who have done it, and it looked fun. But I have a crazy summer schedule. I am a youth counselor at a church camp, I have a mission trip, my family vacation, so I knew it was going to be really hard, but I figured if it was meant to be, then it would be, and obviously it was meant to be. I think this is something I can really promote by being positive." And, if all of that doesn't keep her busy enough, she will continue to work at The Happy Pot on Second Street in Portsmouth.
Being positive, especially when in a nursing home or suffering from cancer or struggling with addiction seems impossible at times. Taylor just wants to bring a little sunshine in the lives of those people, even if it is just for a little while. The youth of today could learn a lot from her.

We demonstrate an optical method to detect calcium ions in an ultracold plasma. We probe the plasma with a 397 nm laser beam tuned to a calcium ion transition. The probe laser beam is focused to a 160 µm waist allowing fine spatial resolution. Ions are detected by measuring fluorescence using a Photo-Multiplier Tube (PMT). The signal, an average of 4000 acquisitions, has a temporal resolution of 120 ns. We present the details of this method, potential improvements, and prospects of imaging the expanding plasma ions. We also present preliminary work on spatially resolved absorption measurements, as well as additional studies.

When Professor David Morris introduced a life-saving surgery to Australia in 1995, he started out doing about three a year. Last week he did four of the procedures. Peritonectomy is now a common surgery at St George Hospital, saving many lives each year. The surgery takes 12 hours on average and removes a cancer, called peritoneal mesothelioma, from the abdomen. The cancer is strongly linked to asbestos exposure. "It has been a really interesting 20 years in that we have kind of taken something that everybody thought was crazy, and now we can cure half of the patients in many of the types of tumours that we treat," Professor Morris said. "And all of those patients would otherwise die. There is no other curative treatment for them. So it has been good fun. "It has become a more mainstream treatment, and we have been involved in developing that, and we have a kind of collaboration with a number of units around the world." Recently, St George Hospital addressed a growing list of patients waiting for peritonectomy surgery, which sat at about 25 patients. Mr Morris said the goal was to clear the list by the end of the year. "The problem has been that during the winter our ICU has filled up with patients with pneumonia and so on, and so we lose operation days because we don't have beds to put the patients in afterwards, so we got quite behind and our waiting list blew out," he said. "But the hospital is trying very hard to address that … and I'm confident we can get on top of the waiting list." The main cause of peritoneal mesothelioma is ingestion of asbestos fibres. However, Professor Morris said a growing rate of female patients were being diagnosed with peritoneal mesothelioma and there was a possible link between the cancer and certain talcum powder products. He said manufacturers had already changed their talcum products to no longer use dangerous mineral fibres, but there was a lot more research to be done in that field. St George Hospital is still the leading centre for peritonectomy surgery in the country, led by Professor Morris. He said there were small practices in Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth as well. "We are by far the leading unit in the country for peritonectomy. And it was something that in the early years we perhaps did three in a year, and I have done four this week." He said of the peritoneal mesothelioma patients who were operated on, the cure rate was about 50 per cent. Professor Morris said he had a great team to work with at St George Hospital. He said there were two surgeons capable of doing the surgery at the hospital, himself and Dr Nayef Alzarani. A large team of medical practitioners also work alongside them including oncologists, anesthetists and nurses. Professor Morris also works with a team of researchers to develop drugs, and he was excited about a couple of promising projects they were looking at implementing. Professor Morris said they had a great relationship with Saudi Arabia, and he often trained surgeons from that country who were sent to Australia to learn the procedure. Professor Morris said he had done well over 1000 peritonectomy surgeries now, since moving from the UK in the 1990s. Professor Morris also operates on other cancers in the abdomen, such as colon cancer and appendix tumours.

Some of my old friends are highway robbers now – Sammie Okposo
Gospel Singer, Sammie Okposo made a new revelation that has never been heard before. He claims if not for the intervention of God, he would have been dead as mot of the friend he started life with are highway robbers and some are dead.
The gospel made the revelation in an interview and he mentioned that despite being born into a spiritual family, he decided to derail from the 'path of righteousness' to experience what the world had to offer.
Sammie Okpose said:
"I was born in church but I had my fair share of experimenting as a youth. My father was an elder in church while my mother was a deaconess; so I went to church every Sunday. I was part of the Sunday school and junior church. Sometimes when our parents are talking, it is good for a youth to go out and see the world so that you can make some informed decision. I got out of line and thought I could take care of myself.
I was a youth who wanted to experiment and that is what happens to young men who want to know everything. I always tell people that I am not a saint. I have done it all; I have stayed in Ajegunle, I have lived in the jungle and I have shared a room with about eight other people. I tell people who look at me and think I have always been like this. I have made some wrong decisions; I had been in wrong places at the wrong time. So my being alive today is by the grace of God. I tell people that the best way to live life is to listen to those that are ahead of you. This would enable you to avoid some mistakes."
He added,
"I did not do any of the crazy stuff like drugs but I was generally stubborn and I moved with the wrong set of people who almost lured me into a wrong environment. I have been around guys who ended up becoming highway robbers. My mother would tell me that she did not like the guys I moved with.
When we got out of school, one day I turned on the television only to see that those my friends were wanted by law enforcement agents who later caught up with some of them and they are dead. It made me ask myself, what if I had followed those guys?
I would probably have been dead by now. I share some of these stories so that people would know that everything about me is real. I did not just appear. I have seen it all. In fact, I did a lot of secular music but I did not record any of them as an artiste. I was playing with all the top artistes in Nigeria.
It is great to be able to say that I have seen it all. If I was going to be a secular artiste, I would have been the best so it is not as if I chose gospel music because I cannot do secular songs, it was my choice."
He said his parents were eventually glad that he retraced his steps and came back home, but his dad was not happy that he ventured into music:
"When I returned home, my parents were very glad because they had been praying for me. They were happy because they did not have to identify my body if anything had gone wrong. However, they were not very happy that I ventured into music because my father wanted me to be an accountant.
Twenty years ago, you could not tell your parents you wanted to be a musician. Of all the awards I have received in my life, the biggest would be when my father looked at me and told me he was proud of me before he died," Okposo said.

Bill Nighy Plays Quatto In TOTAL RECALL Remake. No, I Didn't Spell It Wrong
Nighy joins the sadly de-Martianized remake, and he's playing a rebel leader who spells his name differently.
By Devin Faraci May. 26, 2011
I guess it's good news that Bill Nighy is joining the remake of Total Recall. After all, Nighy is great and he usually elevates whatever he's in. But this is the remake of Total Recall, which is already a problem, and he's playing Quatto.
No, not Kuato. You know and love Kuato as the head of the Martian resistance who has his twin growing out of his side. Since this movie stupidly gets rid of Mars, it's unclear if Quatto will be as cool as Kuato. It's also unclear why the hell they changed the spelling of the name. Fucking Len Wiseman.

Grindr says it will stop sharing users' HIV data with third-party firms amid backlash Grindr Grindr, a gay dating app launched in , has more than 3 million users. Grindr, a gay dating app launched in , has more than 3 million users. Grindr Kristine PhillipsWashington Post Grindr, a popular dating app for gay men, said it will stop sharing users' HIV data with third-party companies that analyze mobile and Web apps. The decision comes after BuzzFeed reported Monday that Grindr, used by 3. The report prompted a backlash among some users and advocacy groups that saw the sharing of data as a breach of users' trust. Bryce Case, Grindr's head of security, said that sharing information with Apptimize and Localytics is "standard industry practice for rolling out and debugging software" and was done so securely to test and optimize the app's features, such as HIV testing reminders.
A recent study by Travel Gay Asia and Gay Star News has revealed some very interesting stats on the use of gay dating apps and some of the dangers users report to.
SOCIAL Dating apps allowing people to filter by race reinforces racial bias Scientists at Cornell University have taken a very serious look at the way dating apps sort people by race – and the impact it has on desire Sanadi is the first website designed to facilitate access to HIV testing. They have taken a long, hard look at the way dating apps work, and the racial preferences people sometimes express.
Several dating apps allow people to filter search results based in race. However, the researchers say this can result in those seeking connections missing out on potential partners. It could also lead to users fetishizing particular groups. The results have been published in the paper: It then looks more deeply at three design strategies used by dating apps popular in the US.
Instead of simply asking users for their serostatus or that of their preferred partners, the pledge signals to users that understanding and openness are important platform norms. The authors say these simple designs measures can have a big impact on the way marginalized or discriminated groups are treated online.
Grindr launched its Kindr initiative last month. Scruff also recently announced that it was no longer compulsory for users to state their race when creating a profile. In this way, interacting online can offer the potential to meet a diverse range of people — far more than if you go to a bar. The authors suggest that this is leading to displays of sexual racism.
Dating site for gay – Is the number one destination for online dating with more relationships than any other dating or personals site. Men looking for a woman – Women looking for a woman. If you are a middle-aged woman looking to have a good time dating man half your age, this article is for you.
As of April , the leading dating website in the United States was Match. Closest competitors were eHarmony. As of the first quarter of , the Match Group had 3.

Breck Dumas New study says dating apps are racist, recommends redesigns to be more inclusive A new study by Cornell University says dating apps that allow racial filters are discriminatory, and recommends platform redesigns. What are the details? The paper, titled "Debiasing Desire: Addressing Bias and Discrimination on Intimate Platforms" asserts that racial divisions and biases are reinforced by apps that give romance seekers the option to narrow their pool of dates by such preferences.
Lead author Jevan Hutson explained, "Serendipity is lost when people are able to filter other people out. Dating platforms have the opportunity to disrupt particular social structures, but you lose those benefits when you have design features that allow you to remove people who are different than you. Hutson went on to make his case further, saying, "A random bar in North Dakota with 10 customers a day is subject to more civil rights directives than a platform that has nine million people visiting every day.
That's an imbalance that doesn't make sense. While the authors of "Debiasing Desire" don't anticipate dating apps will be regulated any time soon, several platforms have already voluntarily incorporated non-discrimination policies into their designs and user agreements. Some apps base matches according to compatibility in political views, education and relationship background, omitting race metrics altogether.
But many platforms are resistant to do away with racial filters, arguing that they are a useful tool. Landen Zumwalt, head of communications for gay dating app Grindr, told The Guardian last year, "While I believe the ethnicity filter does promote racist behavior in the app, other minority groups use the filter because they want to quickly find other members of their minority community. | RedPajamaC4_-3762304814677289057 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Elon Musk's Twitter, a tool at the service of the alt-right?
Since the official takeover of Twitter for 44 billion dollars on October 28 after months of procrastination, Elon Musk has become the main political and media attraction in the United States. strong of nearly 120 million subscribers on one of the most important social networks, the billionaire multiplies controversial announcements and releases, so much so that his compulsive use of the platform is reminiscent of that of the most famous ex-twitto – Donald Trump – and worries shareholders of Tesla.
The one who explained a few weeks ago that he had made this acquisition to help humanity, as a good messianic techno-solutionist, is gradually revealing another objective: the fight against everything that directly or indirectly relates to progressivism and the promotion of confusionism appreciated by alt-right circles.
If all this was expected, as long as one is interested in the evolution of the character, the speed of implementation is surprising. This online hyperactivity coupled with chaotic management seriously tarnish the image of visionary genius that he had succeeded in shaping over the past fifteen years.
Twitter favorable to the left, a deliberate error of analysis
One of Elon Musk's first announcements was the promise to restore a political neutrality on Twitter, which he considered plagued so far by wokism and far-left ideas. If the political proximity of tech employees with the Democratic Party is rather true, its caricatural postulate is largely contradicted by the large study carried out by the network in 2021 in seven countries and on millions of tweets.
This indeed demonstrates that the algorithm unwittingly favors right-wing political content and conservative media in all the countries studied except Germany (United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Spain).
By openly freeing himself from these conclusions, the new owner of Twitter favors his perception and makes an opinion a fact to justify a sudden change of course, even if it means endangering the durability of his new toy.
This deliberate error of analysis, which could easily be described as manipulation, has largely guided Elon Musk's risky and biased strategy for almost two months now. It also explains why all the measures announced seem to be overwhelmingly favorable to the radical right.
From the reinstatement of accounts banned in the wake of an online survey, to the desire to reduce moderation to a strict minimum, to paying certification at $8 per month without identity checks, and the suspension of journalist accounts. covering his news, the "Chief Twit", as he calls himself, gives all the tools to extremist and/or conspiratorial movements to fully flourish on the platform and reinforces disinformation (already very present in the past).
A leader far from impartial
The woke mind virus is either defeated or nothing else matters
The political positioning of Elon Musk is no longer in doubt since he came out in favor of the presidential candidacy of the Republican governor of Florida and ex-protege of Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis. A change of camp for the one who claims to have always voted Democrat but who says he is disappointed by the too leftist anchoring of the Biden administration and repelled by wokisma portmanteau word that he never defines.
His attitude could be explained, at least in part, by the fact that the White House snubbed Tesla during a ceremony promoting electric cars in August 2021, but also by the fact that one of his daughters does not don't talk to him anymore "because of the 'neo-Marxists' in the universities".
This support and these criticisms are questionable, while Elon Musk daily attacks the old leadership for its supposed bias. In addition to leading a policy that is rather favorable to the reactionary sphere and supporting an ultra-conservative candidate, the billionaire seems to welcome anything that could negatively impact the Democratic Party.
For example, he recently welcomed the label change of the very controversial Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema, who became independent after being elected in 2018 with the Democratic logo and on positions marked on the left, which she then renounced to satisfy her donors. A decision "in the interest of the people", according to him.
The "Twitter Files", a tool at the service of a narrative
But that's not all. The saga of the "Twitter Files," a so-called transparency operation aimed at making the former leadership's internal documents about moderation public, also appears to have been designed – in part – to destabilize the Democrats. If they reveal absolutely nothing that could directly put them in difficulty, the serialization, promotion and orientation of these "Twitter files", as well as the innuendoes of Elon Musk, make them political tools made available to them. disposition of the opposition to corroborate the narrative of pro-left censorship.
When studied a little more closely, they show above all the difficulties faced by the moderation teams during the 2020 presidential election campaign, in an unprecedented context of conspiracy, misinformation, threats and attacks. incitement that culminated in the attack on the Capitol. If one can legitimately question or criticize the decision-making process and the moderation architecture of the post-Musk network, the silence of the events that led to certain censorships, by the journalists selected by the new boss of Twitter to publish this series, questions.
It should also be noted that the employees still in place after the great wave of layoffs are now threatened with legal action if they deliver information to the press on the management of Elon Musk. Total transparency, yes, provided that it does not concern the current management.
Conspiratorial positions
To get an overview of Elon Musk's report on information, the press and disinformation, just regularly consult the tab "tweets and replies" of his profile. Thus, we quickly notice his aversion to the major American dailies and journalists. Conversely, he appears very receptive to the narrative of many highly controversial political influencers and sometimes favors alternative facts.
The most striking recent example of this is the publication of an article from an openly conspiratorial blog, the Santa Monica Observer, in response to a tweet from Hillary Clinton about the attack on the husband of the elected Democrat. Nancy Pelosi by a conspiracy theorist in San Francisco.
In it, Paul Pelosi is portrayed as an alcoholic who often uses male prostitutes and is said to have had a fight with one of them. A counter-narrative straight out of the imagination of the author, already known for his propensity to create grotesque false information worthy of the QAnon movement. The relay of this article, having resulted in tens of thousands of shares, has largely contributed to the conspiratorial effervescence around this affair.
"It is madness to allow disinformation to proliferate like this."
Elon Musk in 2018
Already pinned down for several months – even years – for his problematic relationship to the facts, Elon Musk has accelerated his confusionist mutation since he took the reins of his new company. His latest target is none other than Doctor Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and health adviser to Presidents Trump and Biden.
Hated by the conspiracy and the far right since the start of the pandemic, Fauci is regularly threatened with death and lives under police protection. By sharing dubious photomontages with his 120 million subscribers, suggesting through a tweet that he deserves to be dragged before the courts and by using extremist language, Chief Twitt excites a little more the most radical fringe of the American right. Above all, he gives him the green light to continue his campaign of harassment.
This method was also used against the former security director of Twitter, Yoel Rothwho had to move after Elon Musk implied that he had argued for the sexualization of children in his university thesis, which is not true.
To conclude, remember that in 2018, the main character of this article said he was in favor of the regulation of social networks to fight against misinformation: "Normally I am not an advocate for regulation and supervision, but this is a case where there is a very serious danger to the public. Whenever there is something that affects the public good, there needs to be some form of public oversight. It is madness to allow misinformation to proliferate in this way."
While wine is said to improve with age, it's hard to say the same for Elon Musk. Since he took out the checkbook to acquire Twitter, the platform has gradually become the new Eldorado of American extremist conservatism, whose appetite for disinformation and hate speech is well established. | RedPajamaCommonCrawl_-2040379770058357129 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

New Volvo 'C60' coupe inspired by P1800 on the way – report
Brett Davis May 02, 2013
Car News, Volvo
As Volvo strengthens its showroom range and market competitiveness, more and more desirable models are being slotted into the pipeline. A new XC40 SUV, a Golf-sized sedan and hatch, and a striking 'C60' coupe are reportedly in the works.
(S60 concept shown)
Starting with the C60 coupe. According to a recent Automobile Magazine report, Volvo has already begun work with clay modelling tools to come up with some pre-concept designs.
It's understood the C60 will be a modern interpretation of the classic and rather beautiful Volvo P1800 from the 1960s (below). Using a variation of the company's upcoming Scalable Product Architecture (SPA), which will be used for all vehicles upwards of the V40, the sports coupe will likely borrow its mechanical components from the S60 sedan.
It is only early days though. The all-new S60 range isn't set to appear until around 2017, which means the C60 could appear by 2016 at the latest. A concept version might be shown earlier.
In other segments, Volvo is said to be working on a new 'XC40' SUV which will reportedly sit between the upcoming V40 Cross Country and the larger XC60 SUV. It's set to take on the likes of the Audi Q3, BMW X1, and the upcoming Mercedes-Benz GLA-Class.
Finally, to really tackle the popular markets, Volvo is apparently also working on a Golf-sized hatch and sedan. The model will be designed to steal some of the sales away from the Audi A3 hatch and sedan, and the BMW 1 Series hatch.
We can't wait to see how the sporty C60 turns out. At the moment, Volvo doesn't offer an elegant two-door sports coupe.

Jennie Finch was honored by the La Mirada High softball program by having her uniform retired.
Jennie Finch is arguably one of the top softball players of all time.
She set a NCAA record with 60 consecutive wins from 2001-02. She won the NCAA 2002 Honda Award for the nation's top player and won gold and silver medals for Team USA in the 2004 and '08 Olympics, respectively.
Tuesday, she was honored at La Mirada High School, which paid homage to her hometown hero by retiring her "No. 27" jersey in pregame ceremony before the Matadores' Suburban League opener against rival Mayfair.
"There are so many amazing memories here, it's incredible to be back here," Finch said. "Both my brothers are here. I grew up watching them play basketball in the gym. Then I had the opportunity to follow them, playing volleyball, basketball and softball. There's just so many amazing memories.
Finch is the first softball player to be honored with a retired jersey number at La Mirada.
She also has had her number retired at the University of Arizona, where she led the Wildcats to the 2001 NCAA Women's College World Series title. She will be inducted into the ASA/USA Softball Hall of Fame in November during a ceremony in her current home state of Louisiana.
Santa Fe alumnus Joey Davis, who finished his high school wrestling career with two consecutive CIF State titles in 2011 and '12, didn't miss a beat while in college.
Davis completed a perfect record during his four seasons at Notre Dame College in South Euclid, Ohio. He finished 131-0 and secured his fourth consecutive NCAA Division II championship with a 3-1 victory over Pitt-Johnstown's Travis McKillop at the national championships on March 13.
Davis is just the third wrestler in NCAA history to go undefeated for a career and win four division titles. The other two are Iowa State's Cael Sanderson (1999-2002) and Ausburg-Minnesota's Marcus LeVesseur (2004-07).
"I'm really at a loss for words," Davis said. "I worked tremendously hard and the coaches worked me hard, but it has all been worth it.
Na'lon Smith helped the St. Paul girls basketball team win its first CIF Southern Section title this season with a Division 4AA crown.
The sophomore was rewarded for that accomplishment this week, receiving division player of the year honors.
St. Paul coach Robert Smith, who was coaching in his fifth title game, was picked as the division's coach of the year.
Smith was one of eight area players to be selected All-CIF.
The other girls are Sonora's Meghann Henderson and Marissa Dunn, who were first team Division 3AA; St. Paul's Adriana Gonzalez in 4AA and Cantwell's Lily Perkins and Valeria Lizarraga in 4A.
Boys players Ian Carter, of La Mirada, and Miguel Salazar, of Whittier, all earning Division 2AA. | RedPajamaC4_7182832853046221522 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

Before year 500, there wasn't any country called Norway. There were small "kingdoms" called Rogaland, Hordaland, Reidgotaland, etc.
http://www.hostkingdom.net/scand.html
In year 200 there could also have been a "kingdom" called Kvenland inhabited by Scandinavian I1a, but today nobody knows where exactly it was or who exactly lived there, just like nobody knows where exactly Reidgotaland was in year 500.

Very much later the Kvens came into the picture when they migrated from northwestern Siberia. A few Kvens from Siberia seems to have migrated into the Saami areas from early on, they have a distinguishable subgroup of hg N3 (H16). But it was in recent history that the greater migration waves of the Kvens came from the east and also brought with them some mtDNA hg D and hg Z to the Saami gene pool. Therefore you find more Kven genes in the areas of their migration path into The Gulf of Bothnia, from Siberia to Karelia and in Finland. And much later in Norway. I find this very interesting, because I also have Kven ancestors.
How do you know the Kvens came from northwestern Siberia or from the east at all? Even Finnish researchers admit they don't know who the Kvens were and where they came from, and after all it should be them who are eager to claim that the Kvens were Finno-Ugric. I know you don't trust Wikipedia, but here:
Kven - Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kven#Historical_origin
The land inhabited by the Kvens was historically referred to as Kvenland -- Kainuu or Kainuunmaa in Finnish. Its exact whereabout are uncertain, but was likely around the coastal areas of the Gulf of Bothnia. It is uncertain how much of the inland was considered Kven territory. Possibly, Kvens referred to all Finnish people. (Suomen historia (History of Finland), page 27, Jouko Vahtola, Professor of Finnish and Scandinavian history. ). According to for instance history professors Seppo Zetterberg and Allan Tiitta (Suomi kautta aikojen - Finland Through All Times - 1997) , the Karelians themselves began to call the Kvens by the Finnish language term kainulainen, based on the area they lived on, Kainuu. However, that Kven is equal to the Finnish kainulaiset (or kainuulaiset) and Kvenland to the Finnish Kainuu has not found full etymological acceptance among researchers.
In literature, the first known occurrence of the Kven in the Account of the Viking Othere, a chronicle in the time of King Alfred the Great in the 9th century AD. It is later found in in writings of Adam of Bremen in the 11th century, and in Egils saga from around 1240.
It is possible that some early historians who mentioned the Kvens, such as Muhammad al-Idrisi, confused the Samis with the Kvens. The relationships between the historical Samis, Finns and Kvens are in any case unclear.
Archeologically the Kvens are obscure. Many prehistoric burials are known from the Finnish side of Gulf Of Bothnia to the 8th century, but afterwards only a handful of burials are known. It is so far unclear if the area had a permanent inhabitation of farmers until the 12th century, when settlers from Southwestern Finland were present in the northern riverine valleys.
Before the 8th century there are scarsely any remains of the Kvens. A possible explanation is that "Kvenland" was inhabitated only by hunter-gatherers (with possible Sami affiliation), whose archeological remains are notoriously elusive. Possibly the later were called the Kvens at that time. The hunter-gatherers were apparently called Finns in many contemporary sources, although this name was later transferred to the predominantly farming groups from Southern Finland.
Read the article of Rootsi et.al (2004) it gives more valid information than any Saga on the migrations of genes.
"Phylogeography of Y-Chromosome Haplogroup I Reveals Distinct Domains of Prehistoric Gene Flow in Europe"
http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/AJHG/journal/issues/v75n1/41100/41100.web.pdf
Look at the I1a map in the Rootsi et al article and you'll notice that the frequency of I1a (about the same as in central Norway) is identical on both sides of the northern part of Gulf of Bothnia (Österbotten in Finland and Vesterbotten in Sweden). That might imply that Kvenland in fact was located around the coastal areas of the Gulf of Bothnia as Wikipedia says is likely, and that the original Kvens might have been predominantly I1a.
Before year 500, there wasn't any country called Norway. [
Eki, hg I1a in Scandinavia do not have a German origin except for some immigrants particularly after the Black Death. It is supported that the Saami people are very old in Scandinavia. As you saw from one of my earlier postings in this tread there is a positive correlation of hg I1a and the mtDNA hg U5b (corr 0.6) and hg V (corr. 0.47) at a significance level of 0.999.
Both these mtDNA haplogroups are observed in extreme values in the Saami people, and U5b that correlates the most with yDNA I1a is time estimated to be between 15.000 and 10.000 years old. It means that hg I1a was a haplogroup that came with the Saami ancestors. There is scientific support for this theory, and I do not find any support or not even indications for that these very old post-glacial migrations had nothing to do with Germanic people or "Kvens"(meaning non-Saami people populating Finland today).
The prehistorical yDNA I1a in Scandinavia has nothing to do with Germanic people (i.e. related to people in the areas around present Germany) or Kvens. Immigrations of these groups of people are very recent in comparison, but hg I1a that are found in the Saami seems to have migrated northwards in the postglacial period from Iberia and the Middle eastern near areas.
I did not say that Norway existed as a defined nation before year 500. What I said was that the Saami people originally populated huge areas in today's Scandinavia and Russia down to Estonia. It might have been their areas that previously were called Kvenland, and even before written history it is known that the Saami were called "Finns" even though they are not the ancestors of all people living in present Finland.
Not even agriculture/ farming started here in Norway before about 1500 years ago when new technologies came into use. It manifested in what we call the Viking age, and because a lot of changes occurred in Scandinavia at this time it might be explained by new immigrations. That is why I believe in the theory of Heyerdahl and Snorre Sturlasson that wrote about the Vikings migrated from areas further east where Odin was king and where the Romans attacked. If this happens to be true we Norwegians and Scandinavians have deep roots in very old cultures, and probably also have matching genes in those areas. How exiting it would be to explore this.
I do not believe that the Vikings and their culture were of German origin, such ideas were a product of Hitler's fantasy.
Eki wrote: "What I was saying was that Kvens might have been Germanic Scandinavians of haplogroup I1a before Finno-Ugric mostly of hg N3 moved to the same area in the 1800s and became to be known as Kvens. If researchers find that hg I1a is very old in northern and central Scandinavia it supports that theory, not debunk it."
How do you support these ideas?
Eki wrote: "It could also better explain the sagas of Norwegian kings descending from the kings of Kvenland. Don't you think people are more likely to accept a king of their own tribe (I1a) than from a strange tribe (N3)?"
As I have pointed out, I1a is not only related to Germans. It sounds like navel-gazing (I guess you are German). To repeat, the Saami people have a high frequency of I1a and they are not Germans. And I would not say that N3 is strange, it has a high frequency in Russia, Finland and Scandinavia.
Eki, please do not refer to the Wikipedia. That article is erroneous and skewed, therefore I do not comment on it.
I will try to explain why the Kvens must be of eastern origin.
Take a look at the maps of haplogroup distribution in the following sites:
Error: 404 Article not found
http://www.scs.uiuc.edu/~mcdonald/WorldHaplogroupsMaps.pdf
http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/290/5494/1155?ijkey=x50siGBF3JB0I
http://www.sciencemag.org/content/vol290/issue5494/images/large/se4308962001.jpeg
There you will se that yDNA hg N could only come from the east to the Scandinavian areas and to Finland. The areas of northwestern Siberia have extreme frequencies of N and N3 (H16). From what I know these areas also match on hg N3 at a nuclear level and differs more from males with hg N further south as for instance on the Balkans.
If you additionally look at the mtDNA hg of northwestern Siberia you will observe that they have observable frequencies of hg D and hg Z, haplogroups that increases in frequencies the further east in Asia you go. These haplogroups are also observed in low frequencies in the Saami population and in Finland. Then when you know that the Saami have specific motifs of hg U5 and hg V, those genes are not found in significant numbers in the populations of north-western Siberia (for instance in the Komid People of Russia). From that you can conclude that the Saami or people from northern Scandinavia have not brought their particular genes to northwestern Siberia, but the people from Siberia have clearly brought some genes to the Saami areas. This fits with registered data, because the Kvens sometimes came with their women, but very often Kven men married with Saami women. Not so often the other way around. In this way the hg U5b1 and hg V frequencies among Saami women have remained very high, while the yDNA haplogroups got more diversified. In addition to Saami I1a and R, the genepool got a very high frequency of hg N3.
While studying genealogy I have observed that people with very eastern sounding names lived in the Gulf of Bothnia in 1700-1600, and some of these families changed those names to more familiar Scandinavian ones during 1700-1800. You cannot always trace these families very far back in Torneå or in Finland.
Additionally, I have first hand knowledge about Kvens and their culture in my family and from the Kven areas in Norway. Their traditions have been very much like Russian ones mixed with culture traditions from Finland. The Saami are reindeer people, and it is also known that many of the Kven settlers had this knowledge and some started herding reindeers. This fits with for instance the Komid people that also are reindeer herders in Siberia. The Komid people and other northwestern Siberian cultures were also farmers, so they intensified agriculture to the Saami areas. Take a look at the following URL's and you get a glimpse into the Komid culture, it is very familiar:

I find this theory very interesting and hopefully the Genographic Project will come up with some answers, with the result that many people would learn even more about their roots. Forget about constructed and erroneous crusader theories.
It's not Wikipedia's fault. The article just echos what Finnish researchers think. I haven't heard any researcher say the pre-historic original Kvens (whom Finnish researchers call Kainulaiset) never lived east of western Finland, although nobody knows who they were or where exactly they lived. I think you are talking about the historic Kvens (whom us Finns call Kveenit to distinguish them from Kainulaiset). It's a historically well known fact that the modern Kvens (Kveenit) are descendants of Finnic immigrants in Northern Norway, but the mystery of the ancient Kvens (Kainulaiset) is still unsolved.
You have not answered my question of why you think the ancient Kvens were Siberians of haplogroup N3. Look at the distribution map of hg N and you'll notice the highest frequency of hg N in Finland is not in the northeastern coast of the Gulf of Bothnia (the suspected location of the mythical Kvenland or Kainuu) but in central and Northern Finland:

Ok Eki, are you are the one that wrote the Kven article in Wikipedia?
I do not think the Kven question is much of a mystery and it is expected that northern and central Finland have very high freq of N3. Northern and central Finland is in the midst of the pathway towards the Gulf of Bothnia where many Kvens settled before some of them migrated to the northwest and to Norway. The problems for some of the Finns are that they will never solve that mystery, because the truth does not fit the Kven crusader histories that some of you have constructed and sustain.
Such grandiosity always baffles me, but I guess this is some kind of a compensating activity, a craving for an unique history and a national identity.
http://www.relativegenetics.com/geno...N_large_RG.jpg
The map you sent additionally show a high freq of N3 in the areas I already mentioned in north-western Siberia, and other maps and studies show a much higher freq of N3 in north-western Siberia than in Finland or anywhere else.
If you read my text over again you will see that I actually did give you several answers of why I think that the Kvens migrated from northwestern Siberia to Karelia, Finland, Sweden and Norway mainly between 1500 and 1600. Most Kvens are not of ancient origin in Finland and Scandinavia, only a very small fraction of them have very old genetic markers.
What I said was that the Saami people originally populated huge areas in today's Scandinavia and Russia down to Estonia.
That is why I believe in the theory of Heyerdahl and Snorre Sturlasson that wrote about the Vikings migrated from areas further east where Odin was king and where the Romans attacked.
Look dictionary for the word "germanic". It doesn't mean only Germans and Germany.
Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland and Britain are also considered Germanic. In a same way, "Finno-Ugric" doesn't just mean Finland, it also means Estonians, Karelians and Saami. This is what dictionary says about "germanic":
Definition of germanic | Dictionary.com
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=germanic
Germanic definition, of or containing germanium, especially in the tetravalent state. See more.
germanic
adj 1: of or relating to the language of Germans; "the Germanic sound shifts" [syn: Germanic] 2: of or pertaining to the ancient Teutons or their languages; "Teutonic peoples such as Germans and Scandinavians and British"; "Germanic mythology" [syn: Teutonic, Germanic] 3: of a more or less German nature; somewhat German; "Germanic peoples"; "his Germanic nature"; "formidable volumes Teutonic in their thoroughness" [syn: German, Germanic, Teutonic] n : a branch of the Indo-European family of languages; members that are spoken currently fall into two major groups: Scandinavian and West Germanic [syn: Germanic, Germanic language]
As I have pointed out, I1a is not only related to Germans. It sounds like navel-gazing (I guess you are German).
No, I'm Finnish but the highest percentage of my close matches in the FtDNA Recent Ancestral Origin database after Finland are from Norway and Iceland, and I want to know why. I think one possibility could be that people from Norway settled in Finland in pre-historic times. Like I wrote before and the haplogroup maps show, the frequency of I1a on the Finnish Österbotten (part of the suspected location of the ancient Kainuu or Kvenland) is higher than elsewhere in Finland, about the same as in central Norway. That's why I think that part of Finland could have been settled by Norwegians in pre-historic times.
To repeat, the Saami people have a high frequency of I1a and they are not Germans. And I would not say that N3 is strange, it has a high frequency in Russia, Finland and Scandinavia.
What I meant earlier by "strange" was that the I1as and N3s might have been different tribes. So, I1a tribes were maybe familiar to other I1as because they spoke the same or similar language and looked similar. On the other hand N3 tribes may have been "strange" to I1a tribes because they spoke a totally different language and maybe even looked different.
You probably don't believe these researchers either, even when they talk about the Asov-project, Thor Heyerdahl and "The Thor Heyerdahl Research Center in England", but they say the Kvens (Kainulaiset) were in Scandinavia and Finland already 10,000 years ago:

5. Kainulaiset - The Kvens
5.1 From Europe's oldest historic sources we find "The Arctic Treasures" mentioned; like tar, seal-oil, skins of fur and leather, arctic ivory, hunter-falcons, etc. In earlier times these goods - mainly produced in the Barent region - where highly regarded in the Middle and Southern Eurasia. Thus the arctic where seen as rich and resourceful and at the crossroads of our waterways there must have been a highly organized net of production, transport and trade. In the middle of this "inter-continental" network we find a 10.000 year old culture of arctic production and trade called "Kvens" or "Kainuulaiset".
As you saw from one of my earlier postings in this tread there is a positive correlation of hg I1a and the mtDNA hg U5b (corr 0.6) and hg V (corr. 0.47) at a significance level of 0.999.
No, I'm Finnish but the highest percentage of my close matches in the FtDNA Recent Ancestral Origin database after Finland are from Norway and Iceland, and I want to know why. I think one possibility could be that people from Norway settled in Finland in pre-historic times.
If I1a in southern Finland came from the Swedes, the explanation is simple. They are Swedes and thats why they are related. Second explonation is that the actually mutation rate is much slower than what FTDNA suggest to us. I have seen statistical relatedness within 2000 years / 76 generations for 12/12 exact match, then the extentent of relatedness is much further back in time and ancient populations had more time to expand. Third explonation is that your I1a have a common factor, what later become the Saami people. For Saami people the mutation rate might be much slower than for a peasent population because of lower birthrate.
Look at this link, a hunter and gathering population would have few surviving children so their probability of having a mutation would extend much in time with a vertical profile while a peasent population would have many surviving children or higher possibility of mutation events distributed over short time, a more horisontal figure. This way a peasent population would appear more diverse quicker than a hunter and gather population even if the latter is quite old.

Of my 11/12 matches, 8 are from Finland, 4 from Norway, 2 from England, 1 from Germany and 1 from Campania in Italy. I have no matches in Sweden. The Italian match is probably explained by that Normans conquered Campania in the 11th century and made it part of the Kingdom of Sicily.
Of my 10/12 matches, 18 are from Finland (7.3% of all Finns tested), 16 are from Norway (4.4% of all Norwegians tested), 8 are from Iceland (6.5% of all Icelandic tested), 5 are from Denmark (2.5% of all Danes tested) and 11 are from Sweden (2.4% of all Swedes tested). So, of all the Scandinavian countries Sweden has the lowest percentage. That's why I think my ancestors didn't spend much time in Sweden.
Other countries I have 10/12 matches include:
- Scotland 25 (0.7%)
- England 25 (0.3%)
- Ireland 13 (0.3%)
- Shetland 3 (2.2%)
- Isle of Man 1 (3.3%)
- France 6 (0.6%)
All those are places that are known to have been visited by Norwegian Vikings, which is one more reason why I believe my ancestor came from Norway.
Here's an other reason: If you compare population of Southern Norway and Finland, you'll notice that the most common haplotype in Southern Norway (my haplotype) is the same as the third most common haplotype in Finland. About 8% of men in Southern Norway have that haplotype and about 3.5% in Finland:

Some researchers think that the ancient Kvens were from central Russia, lived in southern Österbotten and mysteriously disappeared around year 800:
Eget.net
http://sydaby.eget.net/gen/kyro.htm
"We have knowledge of the racial characteristics of the ancient Kyro people because of the discovery of about 100 skeletons that were found in the Levähuhta springs in Storkyro and in Keldomäki in Vörå. How the dead ended up in the springs is unclear, but archaeologists think it probably was a normal burial site.
The skeletons of the ancient Kyro people were small young people, thought to be Lapps. Their skulls were long and narrow, which is a deviation from the form of the Lapps' heads and their physical structure separates them from the larger build of the Finns and Scandinavians.
One who later researched the skeletons of the ancient Kyro people is Tarja Formisto who received a Doctor's degree at the University of Stockholm in 1993. She completed her research that compares her own results with information of different people who lived within a radius of 100 kilometers. The results showed that the ancient Kyro people greatly resembled the people who lived in central Russia, around the area of the rivers Volga and Oka. They were of the Fatjanovo culture from the Bronze Age.
The linguists Jorma Koivulehto and Asko Parpola, together with archaeologist Christian Carpelan, found that during the Bronze Age people from the Fatjanovo culture moved to the interior of eastern Finland — a people who talked the Finno-Ugric language, but used many words that belonged to the Aryan language group of the Indo-European language. It is thought that some of these Aryans moved, perhaps as a [blow] to their leadership. It is possible that during the Bronze Age a part of this folk group came to southern Österbotten and lived there in the Iron Age without associating much with other people. This should solve the riddle of the origin of the ancient Kyro people. As far as I know, genealogists do not think so." | RedPajamaCommonCrawl_-2841692399492043000 | Slimpajama627bTrain/chunk1 |

You're young, have little in savings, and might not have anyone relying on you, financially. So, why do you need to think about estate management?1
Here are four great reasons:
Estate Strategies: They're Not Just for the Elderly
You need a will. You may ask yourself why a will is important if you don't have much to pass on. A will is not just about transferring assets. It can be used to accomplish other tasks, such as naming who should manage your social media accounts once you're gone or inherit items you've accumulated, like collectibles or your car.
Don't burden others with burial expenses. Funerals can be expensive, and if you don't have the savings to meet those costs, that burden gets shifted to others.
Consider a medical directive. This important document states your wishes for end-of-life care. In the case of an unfortunate accident, a medical directive provides instructions about the level of care you want, e.g., palliative care only.
Create a durable power of attorney for health care. In the event that you are unable to make medical decisions for yourself, this gives the individual of your choice the legal power to act as a health care proxy for you.
A medical directive and health care durable power of attorney can ensure that you are provided the level of care consistent with your wishes. They can also prevent family discord in the event of differing opinions.
Though the multiple financial goals of many young adults often require more resources than present earnings can meet, these important planning steps can be accomplished at a small cost.
A windfall from a loved one can be both rewarding and complicated.

Continental Army Regiments - Pennsylvania
10th Pennsylvania Regiment
The 10th Pennsylvania Regiment was an American infantry unit that served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. Raised in September 1776 in the strength of eight companies, it was assigned to George Washington's main army in December 1776. Led by Colonel Joseph Penrose, the regiment fought under Thomas Mifflin at Princeton. In 1777 the unit was in action at Brandywine, Paoli, and Germantown during the time Adam Hubley was lieutenant colonel. At Monmouth in June 1778 Colonel George Nagel was in command. A few days after Monmouth, the regiment absorbed the 11th Pennsylvania Regiment and Colonel Richard Humpton took over the unit, which grew to nine companies in size. In 1780 the 10th fought at Springfield and Bull's Ferry. In January 1781 the 10th Pennsylvania merged with the 1st Pennsylvania Regiment and ceased to exist.
The 10th Pennsylvania Regiment was raised on 16 September 1776 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for service with the Continental Army. The regiment saw action during the Battle of Brandywine, Battle of Paoli, Battle of Germantown, Battle of Monmouth, Battle of Springfield, and Battle of Bull's Ferry. The regiment was disbanded on January 17, 1781 at Trenton, New Jersey.

JVC and M3 Media shoot Music Muster
02 November, 2009 by IF
Press release from JVC Professional
Once a year a strange pilgrimage takes place at the Amamoor State Forest near Gympie in Queensland, Australia. The Gympie National Music Muster (aka Muster) is set within the tranquil state forest whose population swells to over 30,000 people by the end of the festival. Muster has a 25 year history of showcasing some of the best Australian and international artists and has been a launching pad for some of the best in the business including Keith Urban and Casey Chambers. At this year's six-day event there were 16 stages hosting musicians playing the best in country, blues, folk and rock music.
Parked behind the main stage, as it was at the last six festivals, was Brisbane based production specialists M3 Media's OB Van capturing the sights and sounds of the live concerts each afternoon and evening.
M3 Media's Marty Hankins described the event and his company's involvement. "With a capacity crowd on the hill, the van video output fed large projection screens, various back stage plasma screens and the corporate boxes. As well as the IMAG requirements, various record formats were also incorporated and distributed to multiple media outlets. At times we have had numerous formats recording simultaneously including: XDCAM, BETACAM, DVCAM, Direct to Hard Drive, H.264 recording and DVD recorders, all taking an output. This year, as with the previous six years, we have provided broadcaster WIN QLD with programme content which they packaged into a broadcast special to air on their network later in the year."
Each year the Muster's Rural Aid Appeal, which is organized by the APEX club, raises funds to give to a chosen charity. This year's charity was Blase Aid which assists survivors of the devastating Victorian bush fires. As part of this fund raising, ABC Landline was there to tell their story.
Hankins continued, "ABC Landline utilised our footage in an hour long special, of which we contributed 45 minutes of its final content. Another major part of the job was the audio production. Main stage is actually two stages side by side. This allows for quick band changeovers; while 'band one' is performing on 'stage one', the curtain is closed on 'stage two' where 'band two' is sound checking. The OB Van took a full audio split of 80 plus inputs and crowd mics. Not only were we doing a multi-track record (48 track) but also a complete live mix that fed all the record VTRs. We then provided live audio mix to a local narrowcast that serves the Muster grounds, regional radio stations, and over 100 ABC radio national stations. From dusk till around 10:30pm our four cameramen were kept busy chasing band after band."
The changing light from day to night is always an ongoing challenge for the M3 Media crew at Muster, but once fully dark, other lighting issues became apparent. The main stage venue, as a structure, also presented a challenge as its very low fly points for the lighting rig meant that some lighting fixtures were only a few metres from the performers' heads. This caused some very intense hotspots throughout the stage. The front thrust of the stage, which was out beyond the lighting rig itself, also meant a total reliance on spotlights.
Hankins added, "The variation in intensity of the lighting challenges the camera sensors. This year a combination of two JVC ProHD GY-HD251E and two JVC GY-HD101E cameras were used with great success. As a golden rule, the bigger the sensor, the better it will cope in such harsh concert lighting situations. The JVCs are built with a 1/3" sensor and responded amazingly well in these conditions. We really did get some incredible footage from these cameras which have always punched way above their weight. I have always really loved the way the JVC GY-HD251E produces its black levels — the depth of the blacks tend to accentuate the saturation in the colours. This is really important in a live situation where the audience can compare what they see on stage to what is captured and projected on the screens. Another big plus with these cameras is their battery efficiency. We are "on air" from 4:00pm till 10:30pm and they easily make it through on two V-Lock batteries. In addition to the great cameras we had an excellent crew and everyone was delighted with the results we achieved."
For the past six years at the Muster, M3 Media has provided all the OB services for the event's production company Balls and All Media.
