LONDON – The imam of a Muslim center in London has been hailed hero for his "bravery and courage" in protecting the terrorist who ploughed the car into worshippers leaving mosque.
"The imam came from the mosque and he said, 'Listen we are fasting, this is Ramadan, we are not supposed to do these kinds of things so please step back,'" Mohammed, one of three men who held the suspect down, told The Independent on Monday, June 19.
"For that reason this guy is still alive today," added Mohammed, a 29-year-old cafe owner. "This is the only reason. If the imam was not there he wouldn't be there today."
A 48-year-old man drove his van into a group of worshippers as they left the Muslim Welfare House, which is around the corner from Finsbury Park Mosque in London.
Described as a 'potential terrorist incident' by Prime Minister May, one congregant has died with ten others currently injured in hospital.
The imam, named by the Muslim Welfare House as Mohammed Mahmoud, urged the crowd to remain calm.
Footage from mobile phones at the scene when the man was being held on the ground captures the voice of a man shouting: "No one touch him – no one! No one!"
Adil Rana, 24, who was outside the mosque when the van drove towards the crowd, said that initially some people had attacked the suspect.
"The driver jumped out and then he was pinned down to the floor and people were punching him and beating him, which was reasonable because of what he's done," he said.
"And then the imam of the mosque actually came out and said: 'Don't hit him, hand him over to the police, pin him down.'"
Hussain Ali, 28, said: "The leader of the mosque said: 'You do not touch him.' He was sitting and holding him like that, people kept holding him."

e-commerce store
hi there,
I have started a e-commerce store and made three items available for customers to add for 2018.
I'm unsure how to make sure people can pay using PayPal.
Then, how do I have our customers find this? I will send them a newsletter, but is there a link?
To choose your checkout settings, go to - Sell --> Configure --> Checkout and just choose the "paypal only" option if you want to force everyone to pay online or you can choose the "paypal or invoice" if you want people to be able to pay offline as well.
The direct link you can use for your new department is: http://warnerfarm.csasignup.com/store/fall-bulk-share-2018

El Altar de la Patria, or The Altar of the Homeland, is a white marble mausoleum in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic that houses the remains of the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic: Juan Pablo Duarte, Francisco del Rosario Sánchez, and Ramón Matías Mella, collectively known as Los Trinitarios. Within the mausoleum there are statues of the founding fathers, carved by Italian sculptor Nicholas Arrighini; there is as well an "eternal flame" that is kept lit in memory of the patriots. The Altar is within the Baluatre del Conde and is the main attraction of the Parque Independencia (Independence Park).
From left to right, the tombs of Francisco del Rosario Sánchez, Juan Pablo Duarte, and Matías Ramón Mella, the founding fathers of the Dominican Republic
In 1912, the Puerta del Conde was redesigned by architect Antonin Nechodoma to its present state; no longer was there a street passing through the park. This redesign later facilitated the construction of the Altar de la Patria in 1976. The Altar was located at the center of El Parque Independencia by architect Cristian Martínez Villanueva.
Prior to being placed in the Altar de la Patria, the remains of the founding fathers were kept at Capilla de los Inmortales de la Catedral de Santo Domingo (Chapel of the Immortals of the Cathedral of Santo Domingo). From March 27, 1943, they were kept at La Puerta del Conde for 33 years, before they found their final resting place in the then newly built Altar de la Patria.
Puerta del Conde
La Puerta del Conde (The Count's Gate) is the site in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic where Francisco del Rosario Sánchez, one of the Dominican Founding Fathers, proclaimed Dominican independence and raised the first Dominican Flag, on February 27, 1844.
The gate is part of a structure called El Baluarte del Conde (The Count's Bulwark), a fort in Ciudad Colonial, the colonial area of Santo Domingo. The fort was part of a larger system of fortifications that ran along a defensive wall which surrounded Ciudad Colonial. The Altar of the Fatherland and Independence Park are located there.
Colonial era
The construction of this site began in 1543 and the site was originally named Fort San Genaro. It was designed to defend Santo Domingo from invading armies and attacks by pirates and corsairs.
The murralla (defensive wall) was modified in 1655 after the English, led by William Penn and Robert Venables, undertook the Siege of Santo Domingo. The invasion was thwarted by Spanish troops commanded by the Captain General of the Colony, Don Bernardino de Meneses y Bracamonte, Count of Peñalva. Due to his valor, the site was named in his honor La Puerta del Conde. The muralla was appended to Fort San Genaro and the structures became indistinguishable and known since 1655 as La Puerta del Conde.
El Baluarte del Conde was a typical model of the school of 17th-century bastion fortresses of Italian influence, which are preserved in the Caribbean as a major legacy of 17th-century fortifications. The city's defensive wall reached its full footprint by about the 18th century with the addition of various defensive structures, effectively enclosing Colonial Santo Domingo in a pentagonal wall. La Puerta del Conde was the western entrance into Colonial Santo Domingo. Not much remains of the defensive walls which once surrounded the entire city, except for several sections with gates and forts, including: La Puerta del Conde, La Puerta de la Misericordia, Fuerte San Jose, Fuerte Santa Barbara, Fuerte San Gil, etc.
Contemporary Dominican Republic
Today, La Puerta del Conde serves as the main entrance to El Parque Nacional (The National Park), also referred to as Independence Park. Inscribed above the arch of La Puerta del Conde is "ỉDulce et Decori est pro patria moriḯ", in Latin, which means "It is indeed sweet and honorable to die for the fatherland". El Baluarte del Conde is a symbol of independence and contains several monuments and structures which attest to the Dominican struggle for freedom. It is common to refer to the fort as La Puerta del Conde/Parque Nacional, being that these are the two most visible and relevant symbols of the Dominican Republic; the park is where the Altar de la Patria (the Altar of the Fatherland) is located.
Parque Independencia
El Parque Independencia (Independence Park) is a historic park within the confines of El Baluarte del Conde so named because it contains the site where Dominican independence was proclaimed in 1844. The Altar de la Patria (see below) is located in the Park. Parque Independencia is nowadays only bound by a section of the original defensive wall, La Puerta del Conde. In 1912, the Park was redesigned by architect Antonin Nechodoma to its present state; no longer was there a street passing through the park. This redesign later facilitated the construction of the Altar de la Patria.

Watch the Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald world premiere live stream
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
- Movie
Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will hit theaters next Friday, but you can get a taste of the (Hollywood) magic a week early. The world premiere is happening Thursday at the UCG Ciné Cité Bercy Cinema in Paris, and you can watch the red carpet from anywhere on PeopleTV. The live stream will start at 1:15 p.m. ET/10:15 a.m. PT.
French radio personality Genie Godula and British broadcaster Edith Bowerman will host the event. Since Crimes takes place primarily in Paris, the premiere's location is fitting, but fair warning: overseas streaming might result in a delay by a few minutes.
The film, which is the latest installment in the Harry Potter cinematic universe, stars Eddie Redmayne as Newt Scamander, the Fantastic Beasts series' protagonist, and Jude Law as a young Albus Dumbledore. Johnny Depp will reprise his role as dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald, and several other characters from Potter lore — including Tina Goldstein (Katherine Waterston), Queenie Goldstein (Alison Sudol), Credence Barebone (Ezra Miller), Leta Lestrange (Zoë Kravitz), and Nagini (Claudia Kim) — also appear in the film.
Directed by Harry Potter veteran David Yates, Crimes is the second installment in Fantastic Beasts' five-film franchise, and it will focus on Dumbledore (who, in this time period, is still just a professor at Hogwarts) fighting alongside Scamander, his former student, to defeat Grindelwald. Watch the trailer below.
Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald hits theaters Nov. 16.

|[ant2] Optional and Core designations
|Thu, 21 Jun 2001 19:38:09 GMT
I just finished reading through the summary of the ant2 features and it looks good. Now come the questions. :-) [1] Are we planning on having the ant2 optional and core tasks continue to be part of seperate packages ? I would love to see another mechanism used to distribute these. Having done many rebuilds of ANT in which I have had to remove/add core/optional tasks I would love to have a cleaner mechanism to define what is included in a current configuration of ANT. The idea of changing a package name when an optional task becomes partt of the core seems awkward. This may already be handled/covered in the revised task definition mechanism. Is it ? [2] Has any consideration been given to BuildID and VersionID tasks ? One of the awkward things about components is that they often need to be versioned separately from the build number so both IDs are needed. Thanks for listening , Jim JM

Aca está el anuncio de mi libro Python for Bioinformatics
"Python for Bioinformatics"
Amazon: http://www.tinyurl.com/biopython
Publisher: http://www.crcpress.com/product/isbn/9781584889298
This book introduces programming concepts to life science researchers, bioinformaticians, support staff, students, and everyone who is interested in applying programming to solve biologically-related problems. Python is the chosen programming language for this task because it is both powerful and easy-to-use.
It begins with the basic aspects of the language (like data types and control structures) up to essential skills on today's bioinformatics tasks like building web applications, using relational database management systems, XML and version control. There is a chapter devoted to Biopython (www.biopython.org) since it can be used for most of the tasks related to bioinformatics data processing.
There is a section with applications with source code, featuring sequence manipulation, filtering vector contamination, calculating DNA melting temperature, parsing a genbank file, inferring splicing sites, and more.
There are questions at the end of every chapter and odd numbered questiona are answered in an appendix making this text suitable for classroom use.
This book can be used also as a reference material as it includes Richard Gruet's Python Quick Reference, and the Python Style Guide.
DVD: The included DVD features a virtual machine with a special edition of DNALinux, with all the programs and complementary files required to run the scripts commented in the book. All scripts can be tweaked to fit a particular configuration. By using a pre-configured virtual machine the reader has access to the same development environment than the author, so he can focus on learning Python. All code is also available at the http://py3.us/## where ## is the code number, for example: http://py3.us/57
I've been working on this book for more than two years testing the examples under different setups and working to make the code compatible for most versions of Python, Biopython and operating systems. Where there is code that only works with a particular dependency, this is clearly noted.
Finally, I want to highlight that non-bioinformaticians out there can use this book as an introduction to bioinformatics by starting with the included "Diving into the Gene Pool with BioPython" (by Zachary Voase and published originally in Python Magazine).

The change of seasons marks the time when many people review their goals. Talk to a neighbour or friend, and you're likely to come up with at least one person who wants to 'improve their fitness' or 'lose some weight'.
Goal-setting is considered normal, but just how beneficial is it? How helpful is going on a diet or starting to exercise only to dump it two or three months down the line?
Rather than these short term goals, instead your aim should simply be to… live a healthier lifestyle (over the long term).
The mistake many people make in setting diet and exercise goals is that they think in the short term. Ask them why they are enrolling in fitness programs or doing some healthy meal planning, and you'll probably get an 'I-want- to-lose- a-few- kilos' explanation.
Don't get me wrong; this is a good and worthy goal. However, it only looks at the short-term benefits of these lifestyle changes, making it difficult to follow through with the changes in the long term.
1. Eat more 'real food'… things that grew in the ground, on a tree, came out of the sea, ran on the land, or flew through the air. Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits are all great examples of REAL food.
2. Drink lots, and lots, and lots of water… every day!
3. Eat something green… every day! Leafy greens are extremely low in calories, yet super high in nutrients. They help your weight, your skin and your brain.
4. Get a workout buddy (and a backup one)! A spouse, friend, or neighbour is a good start.
5. Mix it up! In conjunction with Resistance Weight Training, engage in other activities including walking, running, dancing, biking, paddling, swimming, skiing, mowing the lawn. It's all exercise. Just keep moving!
• Build your immunity. Performing exercises such as strength training and eating healthy protect people from numerous diseases, from blood pressure problems to cardiovascular complications. The longer you keep them up, the more likely you'll live a comfortable life, though this also depends on your genetics.
• Protect brain function. Exercise and nutrition promote formation and retention of long-term memory, fighting diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's when individuals are older.
• Live happier. Exercise and nutrition doesn't just apply to being healthy. Exercise releases endorphins that keep depression at bay whereas healthy foods (and to some extent exercise too) provide the nutrients necessary to balance your hormones. So, there you have it. Do you really need any more reasons to live healthily?

Next up: The Credit Card Bomb
"But if unemployment breaches 10 percent, as many economists predict, the rate of uncollectible balances at some banks could far exceed that level. At American Express and Capital One Financial, around 20 percent of the credit card balances are expected to go bad over this year and next, according to stress test results. At Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, about 23 percent of card loans are expected to sour.
Even the government's grim projections may vastly understate the size of the banks' credit card troubles. According to estimates by Oliver Wyman, a management consulting firm, card losses at the nation's biggest banks could reach $141.5 billion by 2010 if the regulators' loss rate was applied to their entire credit card business. It could top $186 billion for the entire credit card industry."
Addendum: We haven't even discussed the looming specter of commercial property defaults, the dirty secret the banks are holding onto to limit losses on their books, something that must eventually be reported if they are to be considered as viable business entities in this rapidly contracting economy.

JNN 12 May 2012 Peshawar : The van carrying Shia passengers was on its way from Parachinar to Peshawar when the terrorists attacked it with automatic weapons.
The incident sparked panic among the locals, who said the unabated acts of terrorism had raised serious questions about the efficiency of the FC and other security agencies.
Toori and Bangash tribes summoned an emergency meeting after the incident, declaring it an attempt of genocide against the tribes.
The elders of the tribes declared that the attack was part of a series of such incidents being carried out in the presence of FC troops, who merely stood as silent spectators. People of Lower Kurram had been left unprotected, they said.
They expressed disappointment that the checkposts the government had promised to establish at the Tal Road in Lower Kurram were instead being established in less-threatened areas of Upper Kurram.
The elders urged the government to deploy troops in Lower Kurram, saying terrorists had been carrying out their criminal activities in the area because of government's failure to ensure proper security arrangements.
They said if the government faced a shortage of troops, it could re-locate those in Bahrain area.

Susan says…
In the coming weeks, I will be posting a series of reviews from my recent visit to Baltimore, Maryland.
My tour began on a Thursday evening with a visit to The Dogwood in Hampden and then out for a drink at Brewer's Art. Friday saw lunch at The Ambassador Dining Room, wine tasting at Boordy and DeJon vineyards, dinner at Pazo, a special snack at the Capitol Grille (which most certainly deserves its own blog post) and drinks with friends at Tapas Teatro and Club Charles. Volunteering and sightseeing on Saturday was fueled by lunch at Red Star in Fell's Point and concluded with dinner at Woodberry Kitchen. Mr. Rain's Fun House served my brunch on Sunday and after being caught in a surprise summer rainstorm at the Inner Harbor that afternoon, I ended the day with dinner at Mi Viejo Pueblito.
I ate about all a gal could possibly eat in those three and a half days. Whew! What a great trip. I came home with a few bottles of Maryland wine, 300+ photographs, and some extra pounds.
Do you know why they call it "Charm City", by the way? Visitors found the neighborhoods and friendly residents…well, charming.
I agree.

Raptors fan launches fundraiser to benefit Durant foundation Field Level Media/Reuters Posted at Jun 14 2019 07:48 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter LinkedIn A GoFundMe page launched by a suburban Toronto man has raised nearly $30,000 for the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation, a gesture he made "on behalf of the level-headed and true fans of Raptor Nation." John E. Sokolowski, USA Today Sports/Reuters A GoFundMe page launched by a suburban Toronto man has raised nearly $30,000 for the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation. The organizer, Hamzah Moin, said he started the fundraiser to support Durant after some Toronto Raptors fans seemingly reacted with joy when the Golden State Warriors star ruptured his Achilles in the second quarter of Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Monday night. Durant had surgery to repair his Achilles on Wednesday. The Raptors lead the best-of-seven series 3-2 heading into Game 6 on Thursday night in Oakland, Calif. "On behalf of the level-headed and true fans of Raptor Nation — from Toronto to Vancouver to Iqaluit to St. John's, and any fans living outside Canada: we wanted to say 'sorry'," Moin wrote. "We're sorry that some fans of Raptor Nation at the Scotiabank arena, Jurassic Park, and in some bars/restaurants showing the game, displayed an ugly side of fandom when they cheered on the injury of Kevin Durant. "This isn't cool. This isn't right. This isn't what I expect from fellow Canadians." Moin set a goal of $40,000 for the fundraiser. Through mid-day Thursday in Toronto, it had taken in $27,649 from more than 1,000 donors. On its website, the Kevin Durant Charity Foundation says its mission "is to enrich the lives of at-risk youth from low-income backgrounds through education, athletic and social programs."

What We Do Differently
Our mission at Paradyme is to create an entire platform of investments that is accessible to everyone. Until recently, real estate investing has only been utilized by a small select percentage of the investor population.
Paradyme has separated itself into a league of its own by using a REG A+ Tier II to operate. The REG A+ allows anyone to participate in building wealth through investing into real estate. Obtaining a REG A+ is a huge milestone and acts as a branch of trust between us and our investors. It takes many years of building wealth for investors for a company to even be considered for the REG A+. The SEC then begins a scrutinous process to heavily assess this company and awards the REG A+ to only the top private equity firms in the country.
Paradyme is a company who goes the extra mile for their clients and leaves no stone unturned when bringing you the highest return on your investment.

For Coachella and other lucrative live music events, there's no fiddling around in enforcing protections for brands, merchandise
Summer's quickly approaching, and that means the music festival season soon will be rocking and rolling in its full glory. But there's more than meets the eye in staging successful—read that highly lucrative—events, besides getting throngs out in Mother Nature's splendor for a splendid series of hot performances by top artists of the moment.
For Entertainment Law counsel, protecting a festival's name, brand, intellectual property, and associated merchandise can require a lot of non-musical movements, year-round overtures in copyright and trademark enforcement. They're playing a big score, with events and goods representing a sizable part of pop music's revenues these days.
That's the prelude for this post, now on to seeing some of how it's done, with a sampling of the legal fugues performed by a major player, the Coachella Music Festival LLC:
What's at stake?
Even a quick online scan offers evidence of Coachella's battles not only to attract top bands but to protect its brand.
The stakes are high: For the music industry, live music has been a key revenue generator, especially as music sales have dropped nearly 50 percent since the turn of the century. And Coachella has been a big money hit, raking in $84.26 million with a total of 198,000 attendees over the two day weekend, the most of any festival in 2015, according to Forbes. There's no telling how much those numbers may have increased in 2016.
For an artist, the two-weekend event can mean paydays as spare as $15,000, though they skyrocket to seven figures for the more notable acts.
Live music is keeping performers working, and the music business thriving, as music lovers are more enthusiastic than ever to attend a concert-social event that also provides an experimental, destination weekend with friends or even family. Coachella has contributed to significantly to the local economy, totaling in the Indigo area, more than $700 million in economic activity, making area businesses eager to get a share of festival benefits.
But the festival's lawyers sometimes have to draw a line in the desert sands as to how others try to tap into Coachella's luster.
What's in a name?
Part of the legal protective regimen covers a crucial fundamental: the festival's very name.
A year ago, Coachella Music Festival LLC sued the organizers of "Hoodchella," asserting in federal court that they had willfully infringed on the event's trademark. In seeking a preliminary and permanent court order, treble damages, and attorneys' fees against Hoodchella, Coachella claimed the newcomer event deliberately diluted and infringed on a now famous brand, and that the two companies potentially were direct competitors in an industry in which they both would market to similar consumers, food vendors, bands, and artists in Southern California in the spring time.
The claim was aggressive, considering that Coachella, which has run since 1999, is regarded as one of the biggest and most popular music and arts festivals, and it is one of the top such events being advertised for 2017. Before Coachella filed its federal mark suit, it noted that it had sent cease and desist letters to Hoodchella organziers for two months before. Its legal claims were answered by Kamil al-Ahdali, a Hoodchella organizer and advertiser, just with a Tweet: "@coachella @AEGLiveSW you want hoodchella.com contact me. Big money only…You know where I live."
The defendants had to back down from their social media bravura. They avoided what might have amounted to significant legal costs, settling instead and agreeing to change their event's name to "Noise In The Hood."
How valuable's that 'merch?'
Festival lawyers also have slapped back at makers who may cut into a major revenue source for live music: merchandise. It's one of multiple revenue streams—at least 42 of them (?!)—that performers and the industry have identified and focus on these days when paying attention to the bottom line. Merch has become an increasingly lucrative, with artists taking in a percentage of sales at live events (roughly 30 percent), and events charging them "hall" fees to sell all manner of goods.
Stop thinking it's just about T-shirts any more. The merch can include branded earphones, candy, barbecue sauces, ice packs, toothpastes and toothbrushes, wigs, pillowcases, lamps, and skull or lip sculptures.
In 2012, Coachella sued vendors for selling knock-off T-shirts and hats during the festival. Its lawyers also won from U.S. District Judge Audrey B. Collins a court order for "state police, local police, local deputy sheriffs, off-duty officers of the same, and any person acting under their supervision" to "seize and impound any and all unauthorized merchandise bearing any or all of the festival's and/or artists' trademarks." That was a powerful ruling for not only Coachella but also for other music and arts festivals. It sent a message that not only would the events themselves crack down on their grounds on unauthorized merch sales, the courts and law enforcement also would play a prominent role in enforcing marks registered and received from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Earlier this year, Coachella sued Urban Outfitters and Free People, asserting in a federal trademark action that these retailers are selling unauthorized clothing, wrongly appropriating the Coachella name on catalog items. The retailers purchased a "keyword," allowing their products and website to appear in search results when consumers type in the festival name, Coachella argues in its suit. The festival also accuses the clothiers of exploiting "festival-chic" in their ads and products to attract Coachella concert goers and other shoppers. Coachella notes that Urban Outfitters' website has an exclusive section dubbed, "The Festival Shop," and it has carried ads for "Coachella Street Style" on its company blog. This all can create confusion as to whether there is any association between the retailers and the festival; Coachella say there is none. The festival says it does not endorse the clothes line, and the retailers lack legally required licenses or sponsorships. The litigation is pending and the defendants have not issued a statement about the case.
Meantime, Coachella also recently updated its website's Terms of Use, highlighting topics that include Restricted Activities (covering infringement issues) and Dispute Resolution (calling for arbitration in disputes over their Digital Services). Although many consumers may blithely skip over these online legal declarations, they do so at their later litigation peril, as this blog has noted recently and often.

Thorns frustrated by draw with Sky Blue
Sky Blue FC is known to play some of its best soccer at Providence Park.
The team at the bottom of the National Women's Soccer League did it again on Saturday, battling the Portland Thorns to a 1-1 draw in a game that will be remembered more for the officiating of Mark Allatin and his crew than for the soccer.
Portland's only goal came from a Christine Sinclair penalty kick in the 39th minute, but the Thorns felt they deserved two or three more kicks from the spot on a frustrating night for the home team and its 19,070 fans.
Portland appeared to have control of the game, but Imani Dorsey — a forward playing left back — got to a ball that skipped through the Portland box and scored in the 69th minute.
The draw with the league's bottom dwellers left the Thorns second in the NWSL standings, a point back of the North Carolina Courage. Portland is 7-2-6 (27 points). New Jersey-based Sky Blue FC, a club without a head coach, is 2-10-3 (9).
The night was frustrating on several levels for Portland. Yes, the Thorns deserved more penalty kicks. Yes, Allatin was inconsistent with his whistle and the result included several dangerous tackles that went unpunished. But the Thorns failed to score from the run of play in spite of a lot of promising possession.
"It was a game we dominated. Should've won," Sinclair said. "We didn't put away our chances when we had one, and then they get one towards the end and they bury it. Just not good enough from the Thorns tonight."
Sinclair credited her Canadian national team teammate and Sky Blue goalkeeper Kailen Sheridan for two tremendous saves, including a sprawling effort to get to a Simone Charley close-range header in the 89th minute.
"I might be a little biased, but I think Kailen is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and you saw that tonight," Sinclair said. "Against any other goalkeeper in the league, that's in the back of the net and we walk away with three points."
Sinclair and Thorns coach Mark Parsons each gave credit to Sky Blue for again making the game difficult for the home team.
The visitors were the better team at the start of each half, with significant time in the attacking third.
"Sky Blue put in an incredible shift and made things very, very difficult and played very well," Parsons said.
He said his side had some good moments, but "should have produced more good chances and goals and didn't. And if you let anyone in this league hang around, it can punish you."
Those comments came after Parsons answered a question about the officiating by avoiding specific incidents but arguing that this was another example of officials being unwilling to make big calls the Thorns deserve at Providence Park.
"Do the Thorns do too many good things as a club that we've got to make sure we try and balance things out?" Parsons asked. "The trend specifically in this stadium (is) things don't add up when you go through and you're seeing decisions."
After noting that he hadn't seen the controversial non-calls on replay, the coach said: "Am I absolutely delusional? Which is a possibility. Or is there another problem?"
On this night, there was a problem as far as Parsons' Thorns and their partisans were concerned. And those replays won't change those opinions.
Portland forward Midge Purse was knocked down three times without drawing a penalty kick. In the course of two minutes in the first half, she fell to the turf as she and defender Gina Lewandowski battled.
First, they went for a cross and Lewandowski pushed Purse. Purse then was plowed over after sprinting past Lewandowski. The first of those was a judgment call for the official and not a clear penalty. The second was missed as Lewandowski clumsily ran over Purce without making a play for the ball.
The penalty kick that Sinclair converted felt like a make-up call. Hayley Raso was knocked to the ground by Estelle Johnson after making a cross attempt, and Allatin's decision to award a penalty appeared to surprise everyone in the stadium.
Sinclair easily beat Sheridan for her team-high seventh goal this season. She has scored in four consecutive matches.
The Thorns thought they deserved another PK in the 85th minute, when Dorsey slid through the back of Purce, knocking the Portland forward to the turf as she broke free in the box thanks to a wonderful Raso feed.
Sinclair and Meghan Klingenberg pleaded with Allatin to look at the replay screens as Purce writhed on the field in pain.
Purce, who amazingly did not win a foul against Sky Blue despite some rough treatment, took five shots, including one that caught the post and another that floated just high.
"Midge caused them troubles all night. As a 9 (striker), that's what life is like," said Sinclair, who has played much of her career in the forward role. "You get beat up every game. She'll just need to bounce back. Physically, I think she's fine."
The Thorns don't have much time to recover. They face two rivalry games over the next eight days, traveling to Tacoma for a 7 p.m. Wednesday match with Reign FC, then coming home to meet North Carolina at noon on Sunday, Aug. 11. Portland's next three home games are against the Courage, the Washington Spirit and the Chicago Red Stars, all battling for one of the top-four playoff spots.
• Tobin Heath, Lindsey Horan and Carli Lloyd — three players who would have been in Portland in not for the U.S. victory tour — scored the goals in the United States' 3-0 win over Ireland on Saturday in the Rose Bowl. Thorns Heath, Horan and Emily Sonnett played for the U.S. in the first of five exhibitions to celebrate the World Cup championship. Goalkeeper Adrianna Franch was on the bench.

I am fond of biography as a genre. I have engaged in it in article form.
However, see this post from The Historical Society:
The Historical Society: Michal Jan Rozbicki on "The Rise of Learned Hagiography".
Reviewer Michal Jan Rozbicki identifies an important trend that needs to be named and resisted. Learned hagiography reinforces another trend: heroification, i.e., the bestowing of the status of hero to anyone who does anything "good." Life and human nature are more complicated than that. Historians, of all people, should be about reminding us of this.

How to Keep Tenants Happy and Healthy During the Holiday Season
The holiday season is upon us and while that can mean extra cheer in the air, it can also spell extra stress for landlords and multifamily operators.
While property owners are always worried about safety issues, there is no better time than the holiday season to remind tenants of some basic tips to keep themselves and their property safe.
From dealing with guest parking to enforcing existing exterior/interior decoration policies, here are a few tips to keep tenants happy and safe while minimizing wear and tear on units during the holiday season.
Spread the Word
While existing holiday policies are most likely already in your tenant's lease, it helps to send a reminder.
Try sending a friendly holiday greeting via e-mail or direct mail with reminders on existing policies. You can also post on the community board or in shared spaces at the property like the front office, gym or elevators. Or, if you regularly send a newsletter to tenants, holiday safety is a perfect topic to include.
Providing a written notification allows you to cover all necessary information for tenants, leaving no room for confusion. It also creates a reference for tenants to refer back to. This will also ensure that the relay of information is the same from unit to unit and removes room for interpretation.
When communicating policies with tenants, earlier is always better so you can have time to respond to specific questions from them such as where they are able to put up string lights outside their unit or why they aren't allowed to put up decorations on their balcony or porch.
For example, turkey fryers are especially popular during Thanksgiving but are an extreme fire hazard. Establishing guidelines for turkey fryers is vitally important for the safety of all tenants as well as their property and yours.
Indoor Christmas lights are another serious fire hazard. String lights that are more than a few years old have small wires that are easily damaged through normal use. Broken and cracked sockets as well as bare, damaged or frayed wires can present a dangerous situation waiting to happen. The National Fire Protection Association reports that each year, one quarter of Christmas tree fires are caused by the presence of a flame or other heat source and 35% of fires are caused by electrical equipment.
Another example would be if your property has a designated spot for Christmas tree disposal. That is something that should be communicated to tenants early so that they don't dispose of trees in improper areas after the holiday. It also can make having and disposing of a Christmas tree easier for tenants.
Above all, make sure to promptly respond to questions from tenants, even if it is just to acknowledge that you received the question. Remember to always remain calm, kind and as flexible as possible when dealing with tenants.
Important Policies
Common items that should be addressed before the holidays include:
- Guest parking for tenants hosting holiday parties
- Noise policies for holiday parties
- Decoration and safety policies for common areas, balconies, doors and the interior of units
- Cooking policies for grills, outdoor smokers and turkey fryers
- Smoking policy
- Chimney and fireplace cleaning policies
- Package delivery guidelines for tenants sending and receiving gifts, especially for smaller communities without publicly-accessible common areas for UPS and other carriers
- Cleaning policies for interior and exterior of units to avoid excessive wear and tear
The end goal during the holiday season is to keep your renters happy and safe as well as keeping your property protected from excessive wear and unnecessary damage.
Also, consider giving a small gift to tenants before the holidays such as a gift card or even a small end-of-year rent reduction. The small effort on your part may last throughout the year and can help with future turnover. The rewards can be well worth it.

Trenekis crossed the spacious central room and pushed open the wooden door separating it from the smaller bedroom further on. Turof, one of the counselor's caretakers, was sitting next to the man's bed. She greeted Trenekis as he entered.A scratched and dented lightstick, hung horizontally from ropes, was attached to the ceiling. The room seemed bright and cheery, in sharp contrast to what Trenekis saw laying in bed. The counselor lay under a thin sefa blanket, his head propped up by several pillows. The room was quiet except for the soft whirring of the fan at the end of the duct which supplied the room with fresh air.The counselor looked much older than his fifty-six years. Votig's normally light brown skin had become pale over the last several weeks. A week ago, he had become bedridden and was no longer able to carry out his normal day-to-day activities on Hiera's small law council.The counselor's eyes were closed when Trenekis entered the room. He opened them now and focused on the youth. Tren's shoulder-length brown hair, lightened in streaks by long hours in the twin suns, perfectly complemented his bright deep-green eyes. An even tan covered the boy's body. The dark grey-brown drel skin shirt Trenekis wore was unlaced, exposing the middle of his chest and stomach. The light down that covered Tren's belly had only recently begun turning into a man's darker hair. The same soft drel skin had been fashioned into trousers as well. Laced up the side and form-fitting, its thin leather had molded itself to his body. His close-toed boots were laced at the top just above his ankles."Tren, you're here," Counselor Brem said. Then to Turof, "You may leave." He smiled wanly at her as she pulled the door shut behind herself."Why did you have her leave?" Trenekis asked. He wasn't sure if he was going to be asked to tend to the counselor or not."Because I have something important to tell you."Trenekis took a seat on the stool Turof had just vacated."I have, at most, four months left," the man told him.Tren did his best to fight the tears. He had known the counselor had been sick for some time now. He had known this man his entire life. Although not related to his family, he considered Votig his uncle. Votig had been one of the original founders of Hiera. The counselor had been a close friend of Tren's father since before Tren was born. Votig considered Trenekis the son he never had."But we have medicines, equipment. There's Bosh. My mother can help!""Yes, we have all of that, Tren. But you, of all people, know the equipment is old and worn out. Much like me, it seems. The med scanners are the only things that work well nowadays. That's how Bosh knows I'm dying. I have tumors he can't remove. Your mother delivers children. She can't help me. The best that can be done is to sustain my life for as long as Bosh can do so. Then it will be over. Perhaps it's for the best.""No! It's not for the best," Trenekis said, his head shaking.Brem reached out, took Tren's hand and squeezed it. "I must tell you something far more important. Check the door." He pointed toward it.Tren noted that despite his sickness the man had plenty of strength left. Perhaps he might still pull through, Tren thought. He rose and made sure the door was firmly shut, then returned to the stool. What could possibly be more important, he wondered."Who are your parents?" the man asked."My parents?" Perhaps he didn't hear the counselor correctly."Who are they?""Ayvik is my father. Ellu is my mother. You know that." Perhaps this sickness is causing him to ask stupid questions."Tren, they're not your parents." Votig watched confusion sweep across the youth's face. "We swore to keep it from you. You were just an infant when I… found you.""You're ill, counselor.""No, Tren. They're not your birth parents. They took you as theirs before you were even a year old. I-I asked them to. It's the truth, Tren. I'm sorry we've kept this from you. It was for the good of the village. But you turn twenty in five weeks. It's only right you were told before you reach the Age of Inclusion. Since I was the one who found you – saved your life – I asked to be the one to tell you."Trenekis was stunned. This was impossible. His parents were his flesh and blood. No one had ever alluded to anything else. There were no clues to say otherwise. No one had ever even hinted at it, least of all his mother and father. "Why did no one ever say anything? Ever?""Because of your father. His name was Arasen Vatch."Alarmed, Trenekis stood, nearly knocking over the stool. "What?""Him," Votig replied, nodding.Tren could barely breathe. "No…""It's not spoken of except by a few who are still alive who used to live in the city. There is very little need to discuss those days. They were filled with many painful events. The Path Holders were ruthless. Are ruthless. And nearly mindless in their fanaticism to this day."Trenekis was overwhelmed. "W-why was I brought here?""I found you as we abandoned the city. I couldn't let an infant die. It wasn't until later that we determined who you were. That's why we kept this from you. No one wanted you to be burdened by it, or ashamed. Tren, you've turned out to be more than we could have hoped for. Far more."Trenekis sat back down in stunned silence, now barely able to think.

Attacked chairman still hopeful of Mansfield sale
Keith Haslam, the Mansfield Town owner, insists the assault on him by a supporter following the defeat by Rotherham will not have any bearing on the protracted takeover at the Coca-Cola League Two club.
Haslam was attacked by a fan who had managed to gain entry to the Field Mill boardroom after Saturday's 1-0 home loss, a result that leaves Mansfield's Football League status hanging by a thread. The owner required hospital attention and a 45-year-old Mansfield man has since been arrested on suspicion of carrying out the assault.
The controversial owner has been in negotiations to sell the club for about 18 months but has turned down three offers from James Derry, the former chairman, while John Batchelor, the former York owner, expressed an

I'm sure you may have come across a number of content marketing articles in the past, this is another one :)
Have you ever imagined why content is always the most discussed topic?
Content marketing isn't new, however, with the evolution of eCommerce and technology online shoppers are constantly finding ways that can allow access to products and information in the most engaging way.
In this crowded market, are you earning maximum visibility for your products? Despite your best offerings, not having an appropriate content marketing strategy can hamper your eCommerce business growth.
Therefore, I decided to come up with this article to help sellers focus on those content boosters that will be preferred by online shoppers in this year 2016.
Let's take a look at them:
1. Mobile
In a report by Statista, the mobile internet users resulted to 52.7 percent across the globe. It also estimated an approximate 10 percent more users will access online content through their mobile devices by 2017.
If you overlooked the importance of mobile in your content marketing strategy, try and offer the content layout that can best sync to an individual's devices.
- Offer more and more content in the form of videos
Like any other sellers, you may be running an SMS content marketing campaign. But, instead of offering information in words, why not market it over small video clips and send it as an attachment.
Allowing access to your products and offers in the form of a video can trigger customer's mind to take action on-the-go.
2. Social commerce
Rewind a decade and you'll realize that social media platforms were merely looked as sites to make new friends and chat with them. Today, as per another report by Statista, over 70 percent of the United States population had a social networking profile, which is expected to reach approximately percent by the end of this year 2016.
Considering the above figures, I'm sure you would not like to overlook the importance of offering great
content across your multiple social business accounts.
- Be present on multiple social media sites and automate content management
Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest have already increased its popularity among online shoppers. However, ignoring the important of running your content marketing tactics across other popular social media platforms can lose your audience who may not be present on other leading platforms.
Automated content can offer a win-win situation
Hootsuite- a social media management tool is sound among successful sellers that is helping them to automate and manage content and post while offering powerful insights on performance for each strategy you'll perform on your social media business accounts.
3. Website blogging
Considering the returns of a blog page to be not so instant, many sellers avoid this long-term engagement source in their content marketing strategy. Ecommerce owners with limited budget often overlook the importance of this source, however, it can make wonders if it compliments your online store.
What you can do?
The uniqueness of your content will determine the performance of your blog page, however, the way you present will add-on the customer's engagement level. You may cover the best topics and trends; however, adapting a boring theme for your blog page can lose you admirers.
Lookbooks can be an alternate of a blog page, which has been adopted by leading fashion brands from across the globe.
Example of an innovative content-offering page from Forever21
4. Visuals/photos
As shoppers are unable to feel and touch the product while purchasing online, the impact of visuals and images will continue to be major elements to influence their purchase decisions.
Considering the fact more and more sellers are seen to be offering visual-impact shopping experience, displaying irrelevant, or even, excessive images can annoy online shoppers.
What you can do?
Try and offer personalized visuals and images in your product descriptions and call-to-action buttons across your selling website. Relating your products to one's routine instead of only showcasing your products, will add personalization to your content marketing strategy and improve performance.
Example of visual merchandising from Victoria Secret
5. Sign-ups
Last, but the one of the earliest content marketing methods, email is still the king. You will see a number of sellers offering pop-up boxes to allow online shoppers subscribe and stay in line with their latest content and offerings.
Are you one of them? Do you get sufficient sign-ups?
Allowing online shoppers a sign-up box for your email subscription is surely helping sellers many opportunities to re-target customers, however, not offering a reason for sign-up will automatically lead to poor conversion rates.
What you can do?
Small discounts are helping sellers improve their email sign-ups, however, using the strategy repeatedly can eat up capital, as many online shoppers do so in order to take an advantage of the discount and may not be interested in your email marketing campaigns.
Apart from offering monetary benefits, why not trigger the customer's mind with content that reflects a value and makes them feel worth to sign-up for your email marketing campaigns.
In addition, contact management software will help you organize your customer's details at one place, allowing to analyze the demand and offer excellent content to your customers, always!
Example of an effective sign-up content layout from Gap Factory
Wrapping up
Keep measuring:
I'm sure every online seller produces content to attract and engage shoppers, however, the way you offer your content is essential.
With the above tips, you can ensure your focus in offering content in a way that really matters to any online shopper, however, constant tracking and measuring your content performance against those areas will help you understand what is missing.
And, that's the key to the whole content marketing fuss!

SCOTUS Renders More Wrong Decisions: Lack of Respect for US Institutions Justified
Recently Gallup put out a poll showing that faith in the institutions in the US has fallen to all time lows. And with good reason. The President lies about Obamacare and everything in between. Congress passes Obamacare using the most heinous and ridiculous parliamentary tricks and dodges imaginable. The Supreme Court twice upholds what is clearly unconstitutional in the individual mandate and then says the statute did not mean to apply subsidies only to state exchanges as the statute says but to anyone. They will undoubtedly find state failure to recognize gay marriages as unconstitutional. It seems as if nearly every SCOTUS decision coming out is flat out wrong on both the law and the equities.
Whether it is because Roberts has been threatened by the black helicopter crowd by Obama and his evil minions or that he is plain stupid, the curse of W (the worst President ever before the current President raised the bar considerably and took the honors) comes back to bite us again and again. It was W after all who appointed the now obviously moronic traitor John Roberts as Chief of the Supreme Court. And he is young. We can only hope he finds an accident or chooses to resign to spare the country decades of his incompetence in the highest judicial chair in the land.
The power and prestige of Nations wax and wane over the course of history. I see little hope for the US, which is now well down the slope or into a considerable period of waning. It will take a crisis of unprecedented magnitude to allow for a reset that can break the back of the government as it now exists and to put things on a better path so the fortunes of the nation wax again. The ongoing loss of faith in our degrading institutions is part of that long drawn out process.
