NEWPORT, R.I. — Rearrange a few walls, create an open, user-friendly floor plan, order custom-built cabinetry, uncover and restore a trio of fireplaces, spruce up all of the family heirlooms, and top it off with new wiring, paint, lighting, and carpet.
Sound like a typical home-remodel project?
Well, add in several state-of-the-art multimedia displays, including a hologram featuring a future Hall of Famer, and a multimillion-dollar budget, and you can call this Extreme Makeover: International Tennis Hall of Fame edition.
What started three years ago in the planning stages comes to fruition Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. when the Hall of Fame reopens its doors after six months with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to show off its $3 million project.
The goal of the redesign, the museum's first since the late 1990s, was to create a cohesive story of the history of tennis and better personalize the 243 members of the Hall of Fame, said museum director Doug Stark.
"We designed the exhibits in a way that people could participate in the learning process together,'' Stark said. "We want to showcase our collection, introduce new technology, and also highlight the architecture of the building."
A veteran visitor to the grounds noticed a change in the windows above the arched entry during a recent luncheon and tour.
"Yes," said Stark with a smile. "For the first time in a long while, they're clean."
A lot of elbow grease went into refurbishing the former home of the Newport Casino, which opened its doors in 1880, became the home of the National Lawn Tennis Hall of Fame in 1954, and was recognized by the International Tennis Federation in 1986. In '87, the building was designated as a national landmark.
Part of the museum's challenge was making the best use of its 12,000 square feet of space.
"Because of the building's national landmark designation, it's not like we could just add a third floor,'' said Anne Marie McLaughlin, the Hall's director of marketing and communications.
The museum's grand staircase entry and the Woolard Family Enshrinement Gallery, which pays tribute to the Hall of Famers through interactive kiosks, remain largely unchanged. The rest of the museum, though, received a complete facelift and is now broken down into three main areas: The Birth of Tennis (1874-1918), The Popular Game (1918-68), and The Open Era (1968-present).
About 1,900 pieces are now on display, compared with about 1,100-1,200 items in the previous design. McLaughlin said the museum has some 25,000 artifacts in its collection.
Every artifact on display received a new mounting and information card, and the cabinetry, which features drawers filled with programs, medals, ticket stubs, and even a tennis-themed Ken Doll from the 1960s, was built to match the existing woodwork.
"We want people to enjoy and touch,'' Stark said.
Along with the history of the game and the on-court changes in technology, fashion and artwork are also a large part of the new displays.
The museum has two lithographs by American artist George Bellows, and an Andy Warhol work featuring Chris Evert that was completed in 1979. Dotted throughout the displays are shoes from Serena Williams and Andy Roddick, a Bjorn Borg outfit from 1976, and the "Sugar Daddy" windbreaker that Bobby Riggs wore when he faced Billie Jean King in the Battle of the Sexes match in 1973.
And no tennis fashion collection would be complete without an item from longtime Globe tennis writer and Hall of Famer Bud Collins (Class of '94), and the Hall doesn't disappoint with a pair of orange pants that feature two serpent-like creatures.
"We've tried to include something for everyone, even if they're not a tennis fan," Stark said. "We were looking for the most fun and interesting pieces to help make tennis more relevant for a worldwide audience."
The biggest — and most expensive — additions were in the area of technology.
A unique addition is a 5-foot, touch-screen interactive table, where visitors can "serve" trivia questions at one another or learn about the personalities, fashion, and evolution of the game. Nearby is a "You Call The Shot" broadcast desk, where visitors can take on the behind-the-mike role of John McEnroe or Mary Carillo in recording their own call of a point.
The highlight of the redesign, though, is the holographic theater that features Roger Federer, the world's No. 2-ranked men's player.
"We talked about wanting to feature a current, international player, and Roger was a natural choice," Stark said.
Federer quickly agreed, and the process started with a filming session in a warehouse in Dubai in mid-February. "I agreed to take one for the team," chuckled Stark, who traveled to the UAE with a team from Cortina Productions.
In the eight-minute movie, in which a three-dimensional Federer appears to be swinging his racket at you just a few feet away, the 17-time Grand Slam champion shows a lighter side to his personality that weaves in old photos and home movies as he narrates the 10 reasons why he loves the game.
"We wanted a unique and memorable experience," Stark said of the hologram, the first at a sports museum in the US.
The technology doesn't end with the hologram, though. A large, rotating globe is another interactive exhibit that will highlight ongoing matches from around the world, and two live tickers in the other galleries also will keep visitors up-to-date on live matches.
While Wednesday's ceremony is the museum's icebreaker, it's just the tip of the iceberg for the facility's future. The three-year capital campaign has raised $14.8 million of its $15 million goal that also will result in a new indoor tennis facility, new office and retail space, and new grandstands in the Bill Talbert Center Court in 2015-16.
The Hall's feature annual event is the induction ceremonies, and this year's class is headed by former world No. 1 and two-time major winner Amelie Mauresmo. Joining Mauresmo for the July 18 festivities will be David Hall, a six-time Paralympic medalist, and Nancy Jeffett in the contributor category.
In conjunction with induction week, the grounds' grass courts will play host to the Hall of Fame Tennis Championships from July 11-19. John Isner (No. 17) and Jack Sock (No. 36), the highest-ranking American men in the latest ATP rankings, are scheduled to play, along with 18-year-old Rhode Island native Jared Donaldson, at No. 156 the top American teenager in the rankings.Marty Pantages can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

RL Easter Eggs: Sarpbc In Rocket League!
Psyonix has talked about this subject now, and it has finally been explored. After following unclear instructions for a while, I finally got it to work. The following video will show you how to unlock this Easter egg.
You need to access in the Konami code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, O, X) while you are starting up the Rocket League PC game. When the starting screen shows up, you have to press the Options button. The SARPBC logo will display instead of the Rocket League logo. The SARPBC theme song will begin playing, and the SARPBC original map (in Wasteland) will be loaded. They have unlocked the Easter egg successfully on the PC version using a DualShock 4 controller. We tried it on a PlayStation 4, but with no luck. On Rocket League PS 4, use this code instead: (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, X, O), then press 'Options' once. The Rocket League online game will tell you to press any button to start.

In August 1858, one of the most remarkable feats in the history of global engineering was achieved when the Atlantic Cable Company connected a cable linking Valentia Island in County Kerry to Heart's Content in Newfoundland. The US President James Buchanan, whose father hailed from County Donegal, dispatched an ecstatic message down the cable to Queen Victoria declaring the transatlantic link to be 'a triumph more glorious and far more useful to mankind than any battle'. It was his great hope that this would 'prove to be a bond of perpetual peace and friendship between the kindred nations, and an instrument destined by Divine Providence to diffuse religion, civilization, liberty, and law throughout the world.'
It took seventeen hours for President Buchanan's message to get down the wire. But when it arrived, the western world went into throes of jubilant ecstasy. Church bells rang across Ireland, England and America. One hundred canons saluted the New York skies. Streets were bedecked with flags. It was all deeply exciting and revolutionary.
And then, about two weeks later, the cable stopped working and the revolution subsided. It took seven years to fix the cable. Think about that next time your broadband goes down. But fix it they did and the shimmering new 1866 cable from Ireland to the USA could transmit messages at a super-zippy eight words a minute.
The importance of the transatlantic connection between Ireland and North America was phenomenal. Prior to the telegraph, a message took approximately ten days to cross the Atlantic because the only possible carrier was a ship. Now you could send a message from the Old World to the New World within minutes. An entire community evolved around the three transatlantic cable stations that were built in southwest Kerry at this time and these form the basis of a chapter in this book on the people of Ballinskelligs.
In 1902, the transatlantic cable was superseded when the Italian-Irish inventor Guglielmo Marconi transmitted a wireless message across the Atlantic from Connemara to Glace Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada. The impact of Marconi's pioneering visit to Galway is still being felt over a hundred years later, as we discovered when we interviewed the people of Connemara for this book.
Connemara was also the destination for the next gigantic link between Ireland and North America. In June 1919, Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten Brown completed the first ever non-stop transatlantic flight between America and Europe. The utterly fearless duo flew in an open-cockpit Vimy meaning that every time they passed through a band of rain, hail, sleet or snow – which they did frequently - it 'chewed bits out of our faces', to quote Brown. When their plane safely crash-landed onto a bog near Clifden, the world once again celebrated as the older generations reeled in amazement. The voyage to America had always taken weeks. Yet this flying machine had done it in sixteen hours.
We've come a long way, no doubts. The cable, the radio and the airplane were all stepping stones that made this world of ours so small that even the remote wilds of Ireland's Atlantic coast could no longer hide from the evolution of the global community. It will be hard, if not impossible, for my two small daughters to imagine that people once lived without mobile phones, remote controls and high-speed broadband. Such changes should be embraced for their immense ability to enhance our lives.
I am particularly excited to think we are moving into an age when it will be completely normal for our elders to communicate with their geographically distant children and grandchildren by email, Facebook, Skype and whatever new forms of communication come our way, as well as 'old fashioned' face-to-face encounters. Likewise, as people get a better understanding of how to use technology, the possibilities it affords to the sick, the aged, the lonely and the bored could and should be profoundly uplifting.
And yet I also feel a massive tug for those who cannot adjust to this new world. I think of my late grandfather who, born in 1910, reckoned that the Ireland of his childhood was little different to that which had existed for hundreds of years. Fields were tilled by man, horse and plough. Seeds were scattered by hand. Crops were harvested by sickle and scythe. The community united to help with the harvest. Birds twittered in every hedgerow and church bells rang when the harvest was complete.
For my grandfather, the villain of the piece was hydraulics. They paved the way for the tractor that so rudely shoved the workhorse into the hedge. Likewise, the combine harvester, which could do in an hour what took an entire community could achieve in a day. Or the robotic sprayers who roamed the land, suffocating birds and insects with their poisonous fumes. My grandfather was appalled by such things but he understood that sometimes to achieve what we believe to be progress, other things must take a hit.
Not everyone mourned the passing of the old world. There were plenty who loved the idea of a tractor with the pulling power of a herd of workhorses. No need for daily harnessing and endless hay. No anxieties for the animals in bad weather. Simply hop up in the tractor seat, twist the key and you're away.
As we advance into the future, we will all of us lament the manner in which we are obliged to leave certain aspects of our past behind in deference to progress. The pace of life continues to accelerate so that we no longer give one another the time of day like we did in decades past. So perhaps we should take a deep breath and relish what we enjoyed in the past.
Life is all about magic moments and trying to make them last as long as possible. We do that best when we are in the company of others. Making eye contact and exchanging banter, sharing crummy jokes and tall stories, gossip, memories, recipes, hardships, adventures, childhoods, melancholy, laughter. We interact because humans thrive on friendship. In decades past, we formed communities because we worked better as a pack.
Our sense of community is under threat. The disconnection between neighbours is palpable. Disappointing as it may be, it is an inevitable consequence of a society that lives within increasingly private comfort zones.
Maybe things will come full circle. I once met an elderly farmer called Dan Mackey at the Harp Inn in Ballitore, County Kildare. 'You might call me mad', he said. 'But, I'm telling you now, the wheel will keep turning and the horse and cart will be back'.

- Pyeloplasty (surgical reconstruction to drain and decompress the kidney)
- Full or partial nephrectomy (kidney removal)
- Gallbladder and hernia repair
Preparing for your surgery
As you prepare for your procedure at Retreat Doctors' Hospital, it is important to follow these guidelines, unless otherwise instructed by your doctor:
- Bring a small bag with things you need for an overnight stay, including pajamas, comfortable shoes or other toiletries
- The night before your surgery, stop eating or drinking at midnight
- Do not take insulin the day of your surgery
- Bathe or shower prior to your procedure, but do not apply make-up or lotion
- Wear clothing you are comfortable in and remove all of your jewelry (including body piercings)
- Leave your valuables, including credit cards and money, at home
- Take any prescribed heart, blood pressure, asthma, thyroid, seizure or pain medications with just enough water to swallow them, and inform your doctor and care team if you are taking blood thinners for any reason
What to expect after your procedure
After your surgery, your doctor will inform your designated caregiver about the details of your procedure. Depending on anesthesia usage, you may be taken to a post-anesthesia area unit (PACU) to recover and have your blood pressure continuously monitored. If you experience any symptoms after your surgery, let your nurse know—even if they seem normal, such as blurred vision or a dry mouth.
Your doctor or nurse determines when it is appropriate for you to return home or be moved to a postoperative room to continue recovery. Prior to discharge, you'll be given instructions on how to care for yourself at home and to call with questions.

The Secret Service says a man has been arrested for trying to unlawfully enter the White House, less than 24 hours after a fence-jumper made it all the way into the building.
Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan says a man showed up at one of the White House gates on foot, then showed up in his a car at another gate and pulled into the vehicle screening area. He refused to leave and was arrested for unlawful entry.
The arrest comes the day after a 42-year-old man scaled the fence and managed to get through the North Portico doors before agents were able to apprehend him. The Secret Service is reviewing that incident.

The "Rebel" in me says: Don't do anything more than necessary. Especially when it only serves to accentuate another portfolio. Or only to show off. Or to demonstrate a capability the world could do without. Don't stress over the small things that others can worry about. Take care of your well-being, because you still have a long way to go. Look at the big picture and see that by not sweating the small stuff you are allowing yourself more energy to run the whole distance without burning out. Let them do what they want, you don't have to play by their rules. Protect and strengthen your inner resources for the work that really matters to you.
The Rebel is complemented by the Zen One, the one who says: You can feel that you don't want to be here, that you don't want to work in this system for the rest of your life, but you owe it to the 40 souls that come in every lesson – you owe it to them to be fully present, to give your best, to see their beauty, feel their pain, experience life to its fullest in that 1hr and 10minutes with them.
It is my hope that these 2 sides will continue to be developed evenly and complementarily.


text: There was a time when I had a few plants in the garden and a year or two later, half the garden was full of them. I removed them all, because they were taking over. In the area where I live every garden and field has golden rod somewhere. It seems that one plant survived in my garden and so I let is grow as long as it remains by one plant. They have a lovely colour and attract all sorts of insects.

Legal Manufacturing, LLC's NIB BATTLEWORN® Patent-Pending Nickel Boron Plating
The color of NIB BATTLEWORN® is a dark shade of gray with an aesthetically distressed, modern "battle" finish. NIB BATTLEWORN® creates a smooth and uniform plating barrier without adding significant dimension to the metal part, increases the surface hardness of the plated part, and produces a product that is superior to competing plating systems.
- HARDNESS: 70+HRc (1076+ HV)
- LUBRICITY: Low static coefficient of friction without lubrication
- More than twice the wear resistance of hard chrome; NIB will outlast the life of the part in most cases
- Extremely ductile plating. NIB will not crack and chip like hard chrome
- Temperature resistant to 1100°F
- Four times the wear resistance of electroless nickel phosphorus
- Improved impact resistance
- Plated parts can run lubrication free, reducing the cleaning, care, and maintenance without sacrificing reliability
- All final thickness measured with XRF instrumentation technology
The eagerly anticipated subcompact model of the acclaimed Heckler & Koch VP Series handgun, VP9SK (in 9 mm) has all of the sought-after characteristics of larger frame VP pistols but in a more concealable design.
The highly-rated HK VP precision strike trigger is also found on the VPSK. The VP trigger surpasses those found on competitors. It has a short, light take-up with a solid, single action type break followed by a short positive reset. The net result is trigger quality unmatched in production striker fired pistols.
A small-scale interpretation of the completely adjustable VP grip feature — consisting of interchangeable backstraps and lateral grip panels — is replicated in the compact grip frame of the VP9SK. This allows the pistol to be easily modified to fit any individual user and is a feature found only on Heckler & Koch handguns. Molded finger grooves in the front of the pistol's grip also instinctively position an operator's hand for optimal shooting.
The VPSK has the features of the latest, state-of-the-art handgun. All controls are completely ambidextrous. Slide releases are present on both sides of the frame and the paddle style magazine release can be easily activated by left- or right-handed shooters.
HK's patented charging supports, found on full size VP pistols, are also present on the VPSK. The charging supports are simple components that are mounted on each side of the rear of the slide and provide better gripping leverage for racking the slide rearward. The charging supports speed reloading and make operating the VP easier for shooters with reduced hand strength.
VPSK pistols can use a variety of proven HK magazines, including compact double stack 10-round and 13-round with either flat or extended floorplates for a more ergonomic grip. The VPSK can also use the same high capacity 15-round magazine used by the full size VP and P30 handguns. Magazine sleeves that replicate the grip profile of the VP handgun are also available.
VPSK pistols have an abbreviated Picatinny MIL-STD-1913 rail molded into their polymer frame for mounting lights and accessories.
VPSK pistols use a proprietary captive flat recoil spring that helps reduce the recoil forces affecting the operator and the handgun, improving shooter control during rapid firing and prolonging component life span.
HK's famous cold hammer forged barrel — made from cannon grade steel — ensures a long service life. Similar HK barrels on 9 mm P30 models have fired more than 90,000 rounds in endurance tests in 2010. The polygonal bore profile, with no traditional lands-and-grooves rifling, contributes to longer service life as well as a slight increase in muzzle velocity.
The VPSK's machined steel slide is protected from corrosion and wear by HK's hostile environment finish and all metal components, including springs and pins have superior metallurgy.
Despite their small size, VPSK subcompacts have excellent weight and balance making them naturally pointable, easy to control, and accurate to shoot. VPSK models are currently available in 9 mm.
The HK VP9SK includes VP9SK semi-automatic Striker Fired Pistol 9MM, 2x 10Rd Magazines, and standard iron sights, black polymer grip.

Reba Giants is on tonight!!!!!!!
I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!! CMT Giants are on tonight!!! It is in honor of Reba McEntire!!!! Here is some of the info. I recieved on the show. Check it out!!! Reba revelry — Trisha, Faith, Martina and more sing her praisesThe stars come out to pay tribute to country's fiery redhead in 'CMT Giants' showBy PETER COOPERStaff WriterLOS ANGELES — Twenty-one years ago, Reba McEntire signed autographs for a crowd at RiverGate Mall. When one awestruck young woman got to the front of the autograph line, she stood frozen in front of her singing hero, unable to think of anything to say.After several moments of pregnant pausing, McEntire initiated conversation, saying, "What's your name, honey?" The shy 19-year-old answered back, softly, "Trisha Yearwood.""I'd never stood in line and gotten someone's autograph before," said Yearwood, backstage at Hollywood's Kodak Theatre, where she and other star vocalists were preparing to honor McEntire in song. The occasion was the live concert taping of "CMT Giants," a show that airs at 7 p.m. Saturday on Country Music Television.Once Yearwood got a record deal — on McEntire's MCA Records, where the younger singer could have been considered a challenger to the star's throne — McEntire helped guide her through some of the more confusing business aspects of a burgeoning professional life."She taught me about owning your photographs, about keeping in charge of your own career," Yearwood said. "And then she also led by example, because she's someone who has stayed so true to herself. She doesn't care what someone might say about what she's doing, or how she dresses or how she does her hair. She does whatever she wants."McEntire's "whatever" has included 33 No. 1 country singles, 29 albums, a couple of Grammys, a critically acclaimed stint in the star role in Broadway's "Annie Get Your Gun," the title role in sitcom "Reba," a signature clothing line and charity work for Habitat for Humanity and other organizations. The CMT special is a celebration of such efforts, and it features Yearwood, Dolly Parton, Faith Hill, Martina McBride, Wynonna Judd, Kelly Clarkson, LeAnn Rimes, Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland and Megan Mullally singing songs and praises.The praise-singing came easy to these performers, the song-singing not so much. McEntire has a knack for choosing songs that provide a full showcase for her multi-octave voice. Even for singers who regularly tackle tough melodies, singing McEntire songs can be a struggle."This is a hard song," said Hill, during rehearsals, after a run through "You Lie." "Lord, my intestines are crawling up into my throat."After the rehearsal, Hill said, "Of course I'm a fan, and Reba is so great. But after singing that song, I have even more appreciation for what she does. Her gift is just huge."McBride, who cites McEntire as one of her prime influences, performed two songs on the show. One was the rangy "Whoever's in New England," and the other was a cat-fight duet with pop star Kelly Clarkson on "Does He Love You."In rehearsals, Clarkson was wide-eyed at her chance to sing with McBride, while McBride's children seemed thrilled to be in Clarkson's presence. The duet was a meeting of two singers clearly in control of their powerful voices and of their substantial stage presence. Backstage, McBride was quick to turn the talk from her singing summit with Clarkson to her admiration of McEntire."I just want to do a good job while Reba's watching," said McBride, who used to tour as McEntire's opening act. "She's an influence on all of us, and she has always done songs that matter. I think, for my generation, she's one of the only true stylists. We're friends, now, and she's always open and kind and real. But whenever I see her, I still have that reaction like a fan. I still think of her going on the CMA Awards, singing a Patsy Cline song and blowing everyone away."Clarkson, by the way, didn't use a Teleprompter for her duet with McBride or for her romp through "Why Haven't I Heard From You." A fan of McEntire all of her young life, she had no need for lyrical prompts.With rehearsals done, the cast reconvened the next night for the show, this time walking a red carpet filled with shouting media members wielding cameras. Though the concert was a television taping, there weren't many stops and starts: Mullally did "You Can't Get a Man With a Gun," a song from "Annie Get Your Gun" twice, and Judd's false start seemed to galvanize the audience and land them squarely in her corner during her version of "Is There Life Out There."The theater itself is the same one used for the Emmy awards show. In person, it appears grander and more intimate somehow than on television. As the show began, McEntire took a seat beside her parents, her husband and her son and watched as the others delivered her songs, and as non-musicians including her "Reba" show co-stars and Goodlettsville-reared James Denton of "Desperate Housewives" talked of her achievements outside of music. McEntire often leaned to her family members and expressed her surprise at what was going on: She knew who was going to be performing, but not what they would perform or what they would say about her."I was knocked out," she said. "After Kelly sang 'Why Haven't I Heard From You,' I told her, 'That's your song now,' " McEntire said.By night's end, though, McEntire said it was difficult to stay in her seat. She closed the evening with her own version of "Fancy," a hit for her and for Bobbie Gentry."You know when you were a kid at school and you got held in class during recess, because you were talking too much or something?" she asked. "Then, finally, maybe when recess is almost done, the teacher says, 'OK, you can go out and play now'? That's how I felt. I loved listening to them sing, but I wanted to get out there so bad." • If you love any of these singers...YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS!!! I will give you a review after It's over...K......

Front won't kill email at work; it will save it for all of us.
At Social Capital, our mission is to advance humanity by solving the world's hardest problems. With more than 50% of our waking hours spent working, it becomes incumbent on us to make how we work more productive and gratifying. We love software companies that allow us to communicate and collaborate more effectively in business settings. That's why we have been early investors in companies like Box, Yammer, Slack, Intercom and others whose products have become core parts of everyday workflows. We believe that Front has the potential to become one of the core apps that knowledge workers live in, and for that reason, I'm excited to share that Social Capital is leading Front's Series A.
Front is rebuilding the anchor of business communication: email. While many have called for the death of email, it remains the primary mode for workplace communications:
- 100B business emails are sent and received every year, growing 10% a year. That's 25 emails per knowledge worker a day.
- There are substitutes for business communications (Slack, IM, etc), but business email volumes are still increasing since more business is done online now than ever before, producing more email; this is especially true for external-facing roles (sales, support, recruiting, etc.).
- On the other hand, consumer email traffic is decreasing due to the plethora of simple substitutes like iMessage, Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, WhatsApp, etc. This is the right thing and a good thing.
As early investors in Slack and Intercom, we see Front as a crucial part of the stack that will absorb and improve communication that has traditionally happened over email. As we look at the changing ways people are working, we believe that:
- A vast majority of internal email communications will move onto Slack.
- Many types of customer communications will get sucked into Intercom.
- Most types of external email communications will move into Front.
So how is Front re-imagining email? While we've seen redesigns and facelifts of email clients, they fundamentally haven't adapted to modern workflows, keeping email the app we all love to hate. Email needs to be:
- Triage-able, assignable, and trackable.
- Collaborative and shareable with colleagues who work together on the same tasks.
- Integrated with all kinds of software and data products.
Front's shared inbox app for external email communications is a wedge for a broader takeover of traditional business email software. What has traditionally been un-monetizable software (email clients) is being used by and paid for by 1000+ companies including LVMH, MailChimp and Hubspot because it bolsters email with workflow and productivity software.
What really got our heads turning is that 50% of all monthly active users (MAUs) were also daily active users (DAUs), an engagement level we had heretofore only seen when we invested in the Series A of Slack. And Front today has roughly the same number of users as Slack did at that time. Furthermore, DAUs spend half their working days inside the app, with an average of 3.6 hours.
As is common for products that are thoughtfully designed, loved by their users and used incessantly, there is a special group of people behind them — in this case, Mathilde, Laurent and their team of 16, many of whom who packed their bags and left their native France to build a company that will last a lifetime (and save email for all of us).
We're excited to help them on this rescue mission.

Celebrate the solstice with a few sun salutations. The United Nation's International Day of Yoga returns on June 21 to champion the multifaceted benefits of the exercise. In honor of the big day, we've searched around Boston for a few off-the-beaten-path, exciting yoga options that you can try out this summer. Roll up your mat and head to these spots to find your Zen while also having a whole lot of fun.
Starlit Stretching
Trying to spice up your after work exercise routine? Some al fresco evening yoga might just do the trick. The Street at Chestnut Hill shopping center will be hosting "Yoga Under the Stars" as part of the Yoga Day festivities. Lead by YogaWorks studio, this mild practice invites yogis of all levels and will feature a live DJ as well as complimentary refreshments from Juice Press and DavidsTea. Online registration is encouraged for this free event, but is not mandatory. Allow 30 minutes for check-in and mat setup.
June 21, 7 p.m., The Mews at 49 Boylston St., Chestnut Hill, free, eventbrite.com
Paint Your Practice
Let your flow manifest itself into literal artwork with Izzy VanHall's "Paint Your Practice" yoga series. While starting off with traditional poses and breathing, paint and various brushes are then brought out as students begin to color the canvas they're on top of as the exercise continues. "We often tell ourselves 'No, we can't be creative,'" says VanHall. "I want to establish that space for people to really feel free." VanHall, a painter herself, has taught this class at festivals as well as super intimate six-person sessions.
June 24, 1:30 p.m., Coolidge Corner Yoga, 1297 Beacon St., Brookline, $65, coolidgeyoga.com
Hip-Hop Yoga
Also instructed by VanHall, Hip Hop Yoga is a traditional vinyasa spiced up with the beat of modern day hip-hop and remixes. Perhaps not the best choice for the first time yogi, this class creates a flow that many people can follow while integrating more difficult offerings for advanced students. VanHall says, "It's about listening to fun music, getting out of your head, and feeling sexy without having to wear some glamorous getup."
Weekly, various times, YogaWorks Back Bay at 364 Boylston St., Boston, yogaworks.com
Salute the Sun
Another free of charge public event, Coolidge Corner Yoga wants you to soak up the sun with weekly outdoor yoga in July and August. A vinyasa will be hosted every Sunday morning in an inviting park environment. Stroll over at any time and start off your day right, surrounded by friends and community.
July 9 to August 27, 8 a.m., Minot Rose Garden, Browne and St. Paul streets, free, Brookline, coolidgeyoga.com
Barnyard meets backstretch at this funky workout session. Heifer Farm in Rutland, perfect for a weekend day trip, has joined the peculiar yet adorable nation-wide movement of integrating goats into yoga. For $20 dollars, participants are led through entry-level yoga while the farm's own goats flit around the room and even perch on your back. Watch out for a rogue horn or hoof though.
Through June 26, 10 a.m. and noon, Heifer Farm at 216 Wachusset St., Rutland, $20, heifer.org

Optimization Problems in Computational TopologyPDE and Applied Math Seminar
|Anil N. Hirani, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
|Start time:
|Tue, May 29 2012, 3:10PM
Computational topology is a relatively new field for quantifying topological information in images, meshes, and other types of data. I will describe several related optimization problems which extend the reach of computational topology in new directions. One problem is the computation of harmonic forms. The computation of harmonic 1-forms on surfaces has been addressed by a number of researchers in computer graphics with applications to texture mapping and vector field design. More generally, harmonic forms are a crucial ingredient for solving vector eliiptic PDEs. I will describe two methods based on finite element exterior calculus. One of these is based on eigenvector computation and the other is based on a discrete version of the Hodge-deRham theorem: the differential form in a cohomology class which has the smallest L2-norm is harmonic. This problem is thus L2 minimization subject to a cohomology constraint using rational values. Another class of problems is one in which the minimization is in L1 norm, the constraint is homological, and the values are integers. I will describe the solution of a previously open problem of finding the least spanning area surface of a knot in polynomial time when the knot is embedded in certain special spaces like the ordinary 3-space or 3-sphere. This may be useful as a preliminary combinatorial step for minimal surface computations.

If you've been thinking about moving, we've got 8 reasons to make 2018 the year you build a new home.
- Fast build times. It's currently taking an average of just six months to build a new Plunkett home, from the time the slab goes down, to the day we hand you the keys. That's really good news if you're paying rent while you build.
- Great deals on land. There's a still a ready supply of titled blocks to choose from, with attractive pricing and value-packed incentives. You've probably noticed that house and land packages are looking better than ever, too.
- Great deals from builders. What's not to love about the abundance of offers, deals and packages on offer at the moment?
- Quality trades assured. Having the pick of the trades means you'll never have to compromise when it comes to quality.
- Low mortgage rates. It's never been cheaper to borrow money to build a home thanks to interest rates sitting at record lows.
- The market is on the up. Savvy investors anticipate market cycles, knowing the bottom of the market is a great time to invest in bricks and mortar.
- Future-proofing. Advances in technology, construction methods and design thinking will keep you ahead of the game.
- Styles ready to go. Whatever your style – from farmhouse to beach house, from Hamptons to New York loft – the looks you love are ready and waiting.

Reigning Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton felt he redeemed himself by ending a run of poor starts at the Chinese Grand Prix.
The Briton had vowed to work hard on his getaways after losing out to Mercedes teammate Valtteri Bottas off the line at the opening two rounds of the season in Australia and Bahrain.
It was roles reversed in China, however, as Hamilton got the better of polesitter Bottas to beat the Finn into the lead at Turn 1 and set up the 75th win of his career.
Asked how much work he had put into his starts this season, Hamilton - who was plagued by bad starts on his way to being beaten to the 2016 title by Nico Rosberg - replied: "No more than I did in the previous year, but it clearly is an area that I've struggled with and it's not like it's only this year.
"It's been something I've struggled with over the years - 2016, you could say, was one of the worst. Probably back in 2007, 2008 was also really poor period of time for starts, particularly against the Ferraris who were very, very strong with it.
"Last year was actually a really strong year for me. I think I just finished second overall of quickest starts throughout the year to, I think it was Carlos Sainz or something like that. Arguably it was first – but it's dependent on the GPS.
"The first few races have been difficult for me off the line, so it's nice to finally kind of redeem myself and rectify that. Naturally the next 18 races can still be up and down, just have to keep working at it."
Hamilton had struggled to match the pace of Bottas throughout the weekend in Shanghai, but credited changes to his driving style in qualifying as being key in enabling him to close the deficit as he narrowly lost out on pole, before dominating the race.
"Once I got the start done, I was like it has to be good enough," Hamilton explained.
"Valtteri was really quick, he has really stepped up this year and done an exceptional job, so we're both delivering on the weekends.
"It was a little bit of a struggle this weekend for me, but once I got into qualifying, a little bit of a shift in driving style enabled me to unlock a bit more potential with the car, which Valtteri was clearly able to do.
"The changes that I made in qualifying, driving style-wise, enabled me to be able to deliver fairly decent performance to at least match Valtteri but once you're in the lead, you gauge it a little bit more, you can utilise your pace, you can see where your weaknesses are and you can build and work on them lap after lap.
"But after I got probably the first couple of laps, then all of a sudden I started to get in the groove and I was like OK, I've got the pace today, let's see how I can keep these tyres alive and deliver to the strategy.
"The start was obviously great, which was really the decisive moment I'd say for the race. And then after that it was fairly straightforward. I managed to have quite good pace today compared to the long run pace in practice two, so I'm really, really happy with it."

FedEx Office, a unit of package delivery giant FedEx Corp., is collaborating with RushMyPassport to offer expedited passport services in the U.S. to travelers, beginning this summer.
The services will benefit travelers short on time and who required rushed passport processing services.
According to the companies, the services being offered by them include processing and renewal of passports, as well as updating government-compliant passport photos. These services will be offered from 2,000 FedEx Office locations or through the company's website.
Additional services include overnight shipping for rushed passport applications, full-tracking visibility throughout the approval process, and free 24/7 assistance from passport specialists.
In comparison, routine passport processing time for the U.S. State Department has recently increased from four to six weeks earlier to six to eight weeks currently, the companies noted.
People planning to travel in less than four weeks will need expedited services that FedEx Office and RushMyPassport are offering.
"Many of us have experienced the distress of realizing our passport isn't ready for an upcoming trip and, as a result, scramble to find a last-minute solution. This convenient service will help eliminate the confusion and common errors that often arise and help simplify the process," said Kim Dixon, chief operating officer of FedEx Office.
The services are being offered among six tiers, but do not come cheap. These include a 24-hour service for a baseline price of $449, next-day service in two business days for $349, priority service in three to five business days for $249, and rush service in six to seven business days for $169.
Customers will have to pay $119 for a standard service in eight to ten business days. To get a rush renewal on their passports, customers will have to pay $99.
In addition, customers can purchase two government-compliant 2 inch by 2 inch photos to submit with passport applications.
According to the Department of State's website, the fees for a first-time passport book will cost $145. Expedited processing will cost $60.

Safe And Sound: How To Keep Our Kids Safe While Sleeping
Parents have the last word when it comes to providing the best and most reliable tools for their children. This fact is particularly the case when it comes to first-time mothers and fathers. These people are so eager to bring their kids home, that the environment back home is ready for the newly born baby.
With the looming threat of SIDS or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, parents take that extra caution in providing comfort for their babies. Mattresses have to be firm for children not to turn in their bellies. The risk of SIDS happening to babies who sleep on their stomachs are high, compared to those who sleep on their backs.
Stuffed toys, pillows, and blankets should be kept to a minimum because they are also causes of SIDS in children. Hanging Mobiles are great for stimulation of a baby's brain. However, mobiles are hazardous to a sleeping baby. Untoward incidents of mobiles falling on infants have been known to happen and cause severe injuries.
Although the risk of SIDS from happening is considerably low when parents sleep with their babies, injuries can still result from doing the practice. The weight of an adult can displace the mattress which can cause infants to roll on their stomach. Parents could also inadvertently cause injury to their young because of involuntary movements during sleep.
The transition of an infant to a toddler is much better when it comes to sleep. Toddlers are much more manageable. They will also demand a bed, preferably a kid's king single bed. Even if toddlers understand some warnings, it is always important to keep an eye on them. Toddlers are also known to be very mischievous and curious, all of which could lead to danger or injury.
Here are some tips to provide the best beds for toddlers.
1. Avoid double-deckers
Always avoid double-deckers because the risk of falling off from it is high despite its side rails. Serious injuries such as broken bones and head trauma are injuries that can result from high falls.
2. Don't go for hand-me-downs
When it comes to children, hand-me-downs or second-hand items such as beds are no good for them. Old Mattresses may harbor harmful bed bugs or other creatures that can be very damaging to kids and adults alike. Ticks, another small bug that feeds on human blood, can cause Lyme disease. Lyme disease is an infection in the body which causes fever, headaches, and malaise.
3. Cushions
If your toddler insists that he or she doesn't need any safety rails, observe the height of the bed from the floor. If it's too high, then explain to your kids why they need such device. If it's low, you can safely remove the safety rails and place a cushion or a soft matt on the floor around the bed. This cushion is to lessen the impact of a fall, should it happen.
Infants demand the utmost care and attention from their parents. Parents often provide the very best they can to meet that demand for their babies to grow properly. When the transition of infancy into toddlers begins, parents should keep in mind that old mattresses are not good items to pass down.
For parents to keep their children safe and sound, precautions should always be the priority. The height of the bed, safety rails, and all other necessary details should be properly addressed and carried out.

Many industry professionals were certain Respawn Entertainment was working on Titanfall 3, but after the studio released Apex Legends out of nowhere this week, those theories started to crumble a bit. The free-to-play battle royale game garnered a ton of attention and managed to reach one million players within eight hours of it being available. With that success, it's not uncommon to receive a ton of fan feedback, with cross-play being on the minds of many players. While the game doesn't have that feature at this time, it looks like it very well could.
EA CEO Andrew Wilson had some noteworthy things to say about this matter during a February 2019 earnings call:
We think cross-play and cross-progress is going to be a very important part of our future, and you should anticipate that we'll be doing more in that space. What our information would suggest to us is that there isn't a tremendous amount of play across devices, but that overall liquidity in any gaming community is a good and positive thing, even if it's only a few people or a small portion of the community that utilizes that.
We absolutely are looking into that in the context of Apex, and we'll be looking at that across our portfolio over time. We think about franchises with tremendously large communities like FIFA, and we think that they would absolutely benefit from cross-play and cross-progress, as more and more people come into these big communities.
As cross-play becomes more prevalent, it will likely be a more utilized feature. The reality of playing with friends across different platforms is still new, so it should gain more traction as time goes on. Fortnite and Rocket League both have jumped into the cross-play scene and have received much praise for doing so. It's only a matter of time before a lot of other games follow and it becomes the norm.
At this point, it's unclear what the future of Titanfall looks like. Head of Respawn Vince Zampella posted a tweet that said, "We are also working on more Titanfall for later in the year." Based on the wording, it may not be a mainline Titanfall game, like we'd expect.
It's great that EA and other companies are considering jumping aboard the cross-play train. It'll be exciting to see how the future of cross-play looks when the next generation roles around.
Apex Legends Cross-Play Could Be Considered, Says EA CEO

While conducting research and other ideas it is helpful to use triangulation to help determine the validity of a finding. In general, triangulation includes the use of two or more data points to references and cross-check the conclusion. This cross-validation helps in ensuring accuracy and lends additional support of the findings for implementation.
If you are working in for a business and want to conduct a study on how a company can improve employee perception you will not want to use a single data sources. The same can be said of using data to determine the effectiveness of a particular skill in the market.
If you were an executive making a decision on how to invest money, or what strategic choice, or where to move your business you are likely to want research. That research can be supported by a single data source or multiple data sources that are triangulated. If it was me....I would want multiple data sources before I make a big mistake!
