Rookie pitchers get nod as White Sox host Royals
In a normal year, Kansas City Royals rookie Kris Bubic probably wouldn't have made his major league debut by this point in the season. In a normal year, after starting the season 0-4 with a 5.96 ERA through five starts, Bubic likely would have been sent down to one of his team's minor league affiliates.
But 2020 is anything but a normal year.
Bubic and the Royals will conclude a three-game series in Chicago Sunday afternoon as the Royals try to win a series against the red-hot White Sox. Even though the Royals defeated the Sox 9-6 Saturday afternoon, Chicago is 10-2 over its last 12 games.
The White Sox will send rookie Dane Dunning (0-0, 6.23 ERA) to the mound. Dunning came to the White Sox with Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez in the trade that sent Adam Eaton to the Washington Nationals following the 2016 season.
Bubic had not pitched above Class A in his brief professional career before this season. But with two starting pitchers, Brad Keller and Jakob Junis, beginning the season on the injured list as they built up strength from positive COVID-19 tests during the summer training camp, the Royals' rotation was thin.
When Mike Montgomery went on the 60-day IL after just one start, Kansas City had little choice other than giving Bubic a shot. He made his major league debut July 31 against the White Sox, going four innings, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits. The Royals have yet to win one of Bubic's starts.
"Hopefully, by the end of the year, I can look back on a day like this and laugh at it," he said after his last start, in which he allowed four runs on nine hits in 3 1/3 innings against the Twins. "(I'll) figure out how much I learned, and not worry about the results of it. I don't want to dig too deep into it."
The 2018 first-round Royals draft pick has allowed multiple runs in all five of his starts. Part of the problem has been walks, as he has given 10 free passes in 22 2/3 innings.
Compared to Dunning, however, Bubic is a wily veteran. Dunning has made one only appearance, a start against the Detroit Tigers on Aug. 19. He allowed three runs on five hits in 4 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out seven. The next day, he was optioned to the club's alternate site. He will have to be activated prior to Sunday's game.
"We want to keep him working, and then we'll see where we're at when we get to that point again," White Sox manager Rick Renteria said of the decision. "We've always liked him, and unfortunately, the injury bug got him a little bit, but I thought he showed very, very well."
If the game gets close at the end, the Royals may be scrambling for a closer. Besides Saturday's trade of Trevor Rosenthal, who was 7-of-7 in save situations this season, the Royals also probably lost Ian Kennedy with a calf injury. Kennedy was fielding a slow roller up the first base line when he appeared to pull a calf muscle.
Manager Mike Matheny said that a stint on the Injured List is likely.
"It's the same calf that bothered him before, but he got it pretty good this time," Matheny said. "I'd say it's a potential (IL move) for sure."
NEW YORK (AP)The New York Yankees and AL batting champion DJ LeMahieu worked Friday to put in place a six-year contract worth about $90 million, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the agreement is subject to a successful physical.
CHICAGO (AP)The Chicago White Sox have finalized a $54 million, three-year deal with Oakland Athletics closer Liam Hendriks, another big move as they set their sights on a championship run.


This afternoon, we're having a vape on a new E-liquid out by a UK company, this is Kooky by The Rochford Project. The Rochford Project, formerly known as The Demon Vaper, is ran by Jay in Essex, UK. He has a really well designed website with the current range of 5 E-liquids, including this one. Due to the popularity of his E-liquids, you need to be quite quick to order sometimes as they can go out of stock.
My bottle of Kooky is in a 30ml glass dripper bottle and there is also options on the website for 50ml and 100ml. There is a zero Nicotine option or you can top up the mix in the bottle with the supplied Nicotine shot. The 30ml bottle is in dark glass with a child safety screw cap with the juice dripper built in. An Orange label wraps the bottle with Kooky printed over the top of a Biscuit graphic. Alongside are printed warnings, The Rochford Project's contact information, Batch number with expiry date and the E-liquid's ratio of 75VG/25PG. Like the other flavours in his range, Jay has worked well with the presentation of the E-liquid, with a nicely styled bottle and label.
Kooky is described on The Rochford Project website as based on a soft/gooey butter cookie with the added marshmallows to add to the sweetness. I spent some considerable time trying to get that authentic butter taste that you get from those cookies that you take straight out of the oven or straight from a bakery, most cookie flavours I experimented with ended up tasting like the hard/general biscuits that you get out of a packet but what I wanted was a flavour based on the soft cookies that taste the best, this wasn't an easy task but I'm pleased to announce that I finally cracked it and with many weeks of experimenting I now present to you Kooky! Like others in the range, it's clear Jay has worked hard on this flavour and since it arrived in the post last week, have been itching to give it a vape. I've seen a few Youtube reviewer's post up Kooky reviews but have intentionally avoided watching any until trying out the juice.
On smelling from the bottle, it's a rich scent of a butter Biscuit. There is also a deep Marshmallow sweetness smell to it. I first thought that it might be a bit like Marshmallow² by Aureum that was reviewed last week, but it smell's nothing like it. This smells much like a Biscuit, as opposed to a Cereal type scent.
On the vape, it's an amazingly moreish Buttery Biscuit mix. I thought it was going to be over-sweet and too rich judging on the scent, but it's a perfectly smooth well rounded E-liquid. There is just enough richness and sweetness packed into the vape, to not make it sickly. First, the Buttery Biscuit is the leader and then on exhale, more of the deep Marshmallow pops out. The aftertaste hangs around for a while without any synthetic-tasting flavourings. It is a really great unique-tasting E-liquid and is definitely one that Dessert or Bakery vapers will love. Easily an all day vape! Cloud production is good at 75VG. Another great juice from The Rochford Project and it's clear that Jay works hard perfecting each juice before release.
My score: 9/10 – A unique-tasting moreish buttery Biscuit!
You can buy Kooky via the links in the opening of the review. You may need to be quick! If out of stock, follow The Rochford Project Twitter page for stock updates.
Edit in February 19: The Rochford Project have now changed the bottles on 'Kooky'. The range now come in 60ml unicorn shortfill bottles. The same great flavour now resides in these bottles with the usual great design on the labels.


March was a great month for picture book deals, but there were almost no deals for middle grade and YA books. My fellow blogger Cindy L. Rodriguez recently highlighted 10 Latinx middle grade books in 2017, but unless publishing steps it up, 2018 is going to be sadly lacking by comparison. I am hoping for a better report in April!

McGee. Publication is planned for fall 2018. Illustrator agent: Adriana Domínguez and Stefanie Von Borstal from Full Circle Literary.

Publication is slated for 2018. Author agent: Zoe Sandler at ICM.
Marissa Moss at Creston Books has bought world rights to Nancy Churnin's Irving Berlin: The Immigrant Boy Who Made America Sing, to be illustrated by James Rey Sanchez. The nonfiction picture book tells the story of the boy who grew up to become the prolific songwriter who wrote "God Bless America" and gave every penny the song earned to the children of the land that he loved. Publication is planned for spring 2018, to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the year Berlin wrote the song.
Amy Novesky at Cameron Kids has bought world rights to Los Angeles, written by Elisa Parhad and illustrated by Alexander Vidal, a board book featuring the sights and delights of Los Angeles in simple rhyme. Publication is set for spring 2018.

Illustrator agent: Adriana Domínguez at Full Circle Literary.
So happy this platform exists!


I had Max in the back yard this morning. It was WHIZZO time…for those of you who don't know what that means, it was time to throw the frizbee. I became frustrated that yet again, Max eventually turned the game of fetch into the game of keep-away. Lately he has been sensing the last throw and I wonder, 'how is this even possible?' The guy is too smart for his own boots and I'm just missing something about growing into the Alpha skin. It's always been a struggle for me, but never so much as this morning.
Defeated, I went over to a cement structure that sits in the middle of the yard, a vent of some sort. Almost immediately the cool air blew onto my back, small ants moved in a frenzy to my right, and wee black frogs (I've never seen so many of these little guys as I have here) hopped in the grass at my feet…lots to observe…particularly those amazing trees, huge 150-year-old giants that have consumed me all summer. I was so drawn into the green, the thick foliage, the huge hulking arms of such a variety of trees, that it was as though everything was green. Then, from no where, a bright flash of red!
I vocalized. "Oh thank you! Thank you! You are so beautiful!" The cardinal flitted from branch to branch and spent almost ten minutes with me. I am amazed sometimes that a bird can be so spectacular in it's colouring and it's detail! It was a blessing-morning!
The gothic architecture is just one of the breath taking features of St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church. The interior offers a feeling of stepping into the past…a bit more formal than what I am used to, but a real sense of time having passed, prayers having been spoken, God's presence made known to his people.
A beautiful restored church of Norman style, Max and I enjoyed the gardens and the way the light of evening exaggerated the angles of the building. St. Thomas Anglican Church history can be read here.
I took a right off of Bridge Street on the East hill, onto Church Street (I go a longer distance from my parents' home each day) and enjoyed spending time at each church location. Given that I've been reading about Belleville's history, it has been awesome to look at the buildings, with that history in mind. First, St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church and this extensive history.
Ok…so, it's one in the morning and I know that I've been reading/writing/thinking too much. I tried to sit in front of a dark and disturbing episode of Criminal Minds, as a distraction from my own MIND, but no such luck! I came upon a blog and was totally charmed by the adventure of it all and the challenges that Catherine Jaffe takes on with her quick wit, amazing desire to learn and her love for all things BEES!
It brought to mind a friend of mine, Verna Reid, and her book, Construction of Self in the Work of Sharon Butala, Aganetha Dyck, Mary Meigs and Mary Pratt. One of the women who assisted her in the exploration of women's identity was Aganetha Dyck. I was wondering if perhaps Catherine had explored the amazing art works of this inspirational and strong woman. I DO find Aganetha's work inspiring! In a few short minutes, I found another blogger who has featured some images of her work and also, a short biography. BEE inspired!
While on the subject, I've got to recommend Sue Monk Kidd's, The Secret Life of Bees and Gail Anderson-Dargatz' A Recipe For Bees, both excellent books!

Performance on drums is all about keeping time, the sound and the feel. It is important to develop ones own style of playing and I have mine. If you are looking for a drummer with sticks being thrown in the air and flailing arms then I am not what you need. However if you need a drummer who can be creative, solid and reliable, then I am your man.

STEP 1. Begin the first step by drawing a few shapes. One for the head, another for the large body and then two more for the hands. Sketch in the facial guidelines as well as the guides for the arms and legs. STEP 2. In this step, we will draw the actual shape of the head which is also the helmet. Add the detailing to the helmet as well. STEP 3. We are still working on the helmet for PEKKA so having said that, draw the large horns and then add more detailing to create the lining of the open face part. STEP 4. Up next, draw in the shapes of the eyes and then draw in and color the nose solid. Add a seam line on the base of the helmet as you see here. STEP 5. For the fifth step we will work on the armor or body for your drawing of PEKKA. Start by drawing the large shoulder pads, then draw in the chest plates and spike on the left shoulder. STEP 6. We will add detailing to the body armor. This includes a nice patterned design and trimming along the bottom of the chest plates and shoulder padding. Draw in a couple more spikes as well. STEP 7. Begin drawing the left arm which is drawn in sections because it's a platted design. Add more spikes and then proceed to step eight. STEP 8. You are almost done drawing PEKKA from Clash of Clans. All you have to do here is draw in the rest of the torso shape which is also the belly. The belly is also armored so draw the plate the way you see it drawn for you here. When that is done you can draw the hand and detailing along the wrist. STEP 9. Draw the right arm and hand next, this will be a bit easier because it's just the wrist and hand to draw. STEP 10. Up next, draw the length of his undergarment which is worn under the platted armor. STEP 11. Finish the body by drawing the legs and then the feet which are shoe worn. We will then add detailing to the shoes and move to step twelve. STEP 12. Add your detailing to PEKKA's clothing and then when that is finished you can proceed to step thirteen. STEP 13. And finally, draw the broad sword and then draw the hand guard along with the curled fingers. Add the plate on the sleeve or cuff and add that one visible spike. Erase your mistakes and move along to step fourteen. STEP 14. That's it, PEKKA is ready to color in. Now that you have created another drawing on a Clash of Clans figure you can show off your work. Step 1. Step 2. Step 3. Step 4. Step 5. Step 6. Step 7. Step 8. Step 9. Step 10. Step 11. Step 12. Step 13. Step 14.


After my disappointing failure to run on Friday, Saturday went well. Set out for a pleasant 10k, it was one of my favourite type of running days, sun shining, clear blue sky with a gentle breeze to take the heat out.
Unfortunately, I'm not really a morning person and it does take me a few miles to relax and properly enjoy the run. So, when I got to Finsbury Park, only 1.5 miles in, I had a big moan about the huge fences that were up after the gig the night before.
Ok, it's not the glorious open countryside of the Lake District but I do like to look across the park and pretend I'm not in the middle of urban London. The prospect of just getting to stare at hoardings was a bit disappointing, so I had a little out load moan, not a shout, just a miserable mumble and set off.
I was cheered up pretty quickly as it was only a small bit of the park that was covered up, so I felt a bit guilty for moaning, apologised to the Stone Roses and set about cheering up.
I felt a bit more cheered after leaving the park, but became vexed by the second issue of the day. My hair, fringe now too long to be a fringe but just not long enough to tuck, I'm going to have to root out the Kirby grips.
Well, after all that, Saturday's run wasn't too bad, timing a fair bit over the 50 minute mark, but that was mostly waiting to cross a few roads – and of course the wasted moments stood in the park with my hands on my hips. I shouldn't come up against these things on a race.

MUSIC PROMO
Cash Cobain 'Slizzy Timing'
by Aidan C Werder on January 03, 2022
NYC's favorite artist-producer and sample god, Cash Cobain, brought in the New Year with the release of his new project, 'Slizzy Timing' - a 14 track showcase of his distinct, forward-thinking, and quietly influential style defined by its expertly incorporated soulful samples, punchy drill-inspired drums, and its unorthodox and extremely catchy flows delivered with a healthy dose of New York City swagger… as well as the frequent reminder that "This beat from Cash not from YouTube".
Cash Cobain (affectionately referred to as "Slizzy") has outdone himself yet again, with little notice dropping off his new project at midnight on New Year's Eve - officially declaring "Slizzy timing" for all of 2022. The project is largely self-produced - with assists from Natt Carlos and T Blossom x EP Ondabeat x Pvyso - and unapologetically committed to the very particular drum patterns and sample-based production that Cobain and company are helping to bring to the forefront. Always one to put his boys on, Cash is also joined by features from Baby Wick, 2219, and Bay Swag - not to mention three separate verses from the incredibly talented Chow Lee who's been making waves with his own take on the groovy, sample drill sound.
'Slizzy Timing' does an excellent job of bringing you into the world of Cash Cobain, rather than creating moments here and there, his strongly defined style creates a cohesive vibe that - once you've acquired a taste for it - could really make you forget any other type of music exists. If one had to pick some standout moments though, it would probably be the uncannily catchy guitar-led opener, "Down", the flipped Meg Thee Stallion sample on "She Know", the Wunna-inspired "Wunna" feat. Bay Swag, or the Chow Lee assisted "2 Slizzy 2 Sexy". However, to fully appreciate the vision the project should really be listened to from top to bottom to get the full effect.
The Bronx's Cash Cobain has quietly become one of the most influential new acts in New York and a pioneer of the soulful, sample drill wave that we've already seen incorporated into the Bronx drill sound - and will continue to see incorporated and innovated on in new ways as the incredibly compelling style further catches on. Despite some decidedly savage punchlines, on the whole Cobain's fresh and unquestionably New York style is refreshingly playful against the backdrop of increasingly dark music that's been dominating the NYC sound.
In 2021, Cash dropped the featured-filled project, 'Nirvana' - packed with nothing but brilliantly executed sample-driven tracks like "Alone", "Nightmare", "Keep That Same Energy", and "Body Party" feat. Chow Lee - not to mention the wildly catchy lead single "Boi", the video for which contains a very notable cameo from DaBaby during the height of his 2021 controversy. He followed that with "What It Mean", the closest thing to a theme song that serves as an excellent starting point to introduce a new listener to the blossoming genre that is Cash Cobain.
Proving himself to be a dangerous, forward-thinking double threat of tomorrow, Cash also had a big year on the production side of things, proliferating his hyper-specific style around NYC and far beyond as the mastermind behind big songs like B-Lovee's viral Mary J Blige flip "My Everything" (and its two remixes featuring G Herbo and A Boogiewith a combined total of 8M+ Spotify streams), Lucki's "Stop the Act", countless tracks from Shawny Binladen and company, and not one but two huge moments with Lil Yachty - the nostalgic Ne-Yo flip "Lexy Sove", a clear standout off Boat's 'Birthday Mix 6', as well as the unorthodox and hugely viral straight-to-YouTube single, "Cortex" with over 7M views to date. To top off the year, we also heard Not-from-YouTube production on LouGotCash's "Poppin" and King Combs' nostalgia-inducing "A Dream" featuring a Slizzy-sampling of DeBarge's 80s classic of the same name.
Overall, Cash Cobain is a serious force to be reckoned with both in the booth and behind the boards - receiving high marks for originality and creativity at every possible turn. From the looks of it, the NYE release of 'Slizzy Timing' is just the start of another big year for Cash Cobain - and it will be exciting to watch as he takes his hugely compelling sound to new heights.
Check out the brand-new project, 'Slizzy Timing' below - and if you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and get familiar with Cash Cobain.

Donald Trump's December 6th decision to shift the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and his announcement last week that the ambassador would move to the holy city in mid-May in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the proclamation of Israel could shore up, at least temporarily, the increasingly challenged premiership of Benjamin Netanyahu. He is set to meet Trump on March 5th in the Oval Office in a lovefest choreographed to improve the Israeli's chances of surviving scandal on his home front.
Netanyahu faces criminal indictments in no less than four cases of bribery and fraud investigated by the Israeli police and submitted to Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, a Netanyahu appointee who has yet to press charges. In the first case, the police found Netanyahu and his wife Sarah had received gifts of cigars, champagne, jewellery and other items worth $283,100 between 2007 and 2016 from Australian businessman James Packer and Israeli-born Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan, who are said to have received political favours and financial benefits in return.
Packer is said to have provided Netanyahu's son, Yair, free flights and luxury hotel accommodations, as well as tickets for the entire family to attend a concert by Packer's ex-fiancée Mariah Carey. Packer argues he is acting as a friend.
However, Netanyahu stands accused of intervening with US officials to obtain for billionaire Milchan a ten-year US visa and promoting a law to extend for repatriating the Israelis a ten-year tax exemption on income earned abroad. The effort was obstructed from the finance ministry. Netanyahu also advanced Milchan's interests in the Israeli television sector and boosted a deal benefiting Milchan's Indian business partner.
A second case involves a proposal from Netanyahu to Arnon Mozes, publisher of Yediot Ahronoth newspaper, to promote legislation that would undermine rival daily, Israel Hayom, in exchange for positive coverage of the prime minister's actions and policies.
The third case implicates close Netanyahu aides in bribing Israeli defence officials to get them to purchase German submarines and other naval vessels. One of the accused, Michael Ganor, testified in exchange for a year in prison and a $2.8 million fine that an attorney enjoying close relations with Netanyahu used his influence to convince him to approve the deal.
In the fourth case, unveiled last month, he is charged with providing favours to Israel's Bezeq telecommunications company in exchange for favourable coverage on its Walla! news portal. This case became a fresh threat to Netanyahu when Communications Ministry Director-General Shlomo Filber, the man who handled the deal, turned state's witness.
Netanyahu has dismissed all the charges. Under Israeli law, he would only be compelled to resign if he is convicted, and the conviction is upheld at the appeals level, a lengthy process likely to outlast his present term and, even, next term in office.
However, a conviction would escalate public pressure on him to step down as well as encourage rivals to bring him down. So far, his right-wing Likud party and even more right-wing coalition partners have stood by Netanyahu, although a December television poll revealed 60 per cent of Israelis thought he should resign if the police call for indictments. These are set to begin with the first two cases.
The attorney general could delay issuing indictments, but if he takes too long to investigate the charges or refuses to press charges, he could be challenged in the Supreme Court. If indictments appear imminent, Netanyahu could call for fresh elections, which his Likud party would be expected to win, giving him another term in office.
Netanyahu, like his chum Donald Trump, can count on the loyalty of his political base and the erosion of popular expectations over the behaviour of politicians. In 1977, Yitzak Rabin resigned during his first term when it was revealed his wife Leah had maintained a foreign bank account containing a few thousand dollars after the couple had left Washington, where he had served as Israeli ambassador. In 2008, Ehud Olmert stepped down after his indictment for taking bribes while he was mayor of Jerusalem. He was cleared of this charge but imprisoned for over a year for breach of trust and witness tampering.
While Netanyahu's supporters remain enthusiastic, his opponents and critics have rallied in Tel Aviv every Saturday over the past few weeks. For them, the agenda includes his government's harsh treatment of the Palestinians, expanding land expropriations, house demolitions, and plans to annex portions of the West Bank. Analysts suggest Netanayhu could shift rightward to maintain his grip on power. This would deepen the already-deep divisions between right and left in Israel.
Trump has already shifted to the hard right ahead of the findings of investigations into connections between his presidential campaign and Russia, and he and his entourage are constantly telling flagrant lies. By contrast, in 1974, President Richard Nixon was compelled to stand down due to lies, rather than the illegal break-in at Democratic party headquarters at the Watergate complex by burglars hired by his re-election campaign. Unlike Nixon, Trump has escaped accountability for his thousands of lies since he entered the White House, and his base does not find this distressing. Trump and Netanyahu, as they say, "birds of a feather" getting together, can be expected to grin for photographers when they meet in the White House next week.

Uber And Modo Labs Team Up To Provide Alternative Transportation On Campus
Whether they're heading to class or going home post-party, more college students are turning to Uber to get where they need to go.
While students are often a key audience for Uber, they're not the only ones concerned about a safe and convenient experience. Colleges and universities have provided on-campus transportation options to ensure that students aren't walking alone at night nor drinking and driving; and as mobile technology evolves, many campuses are now teaming up with Uber to provide expedient and reliable transportation around the clock.
Why Uber?
Uber has the same goals as universities: It aims to provide safe and efficient methods for students to get around campus at the touch of a button.
Before, during, and after a ride, Uber provides a safe and reliable experience:
Prior to pick-up, students are ensured that they're riding with a pre-screened driver and can view the drivers license plate, ratings, and vehicle type.
During the ride, students' locations are tracked on a map, and their ETAs can be shared with friends and family.
When the ride ends, the safe and secure experience continues. Students pay with cash-free transactions, and they can provide feedback and ratings about their driver. If there's ever a question after the trip, Uber's 24/7 support team is there to help as well.
Uber is working with institutions of higher ed to implement Safe Ride Programs, which allows Universities to offer subsidized rides directly to their students. Today, Uber has teamed up with Modo Labs to create a more integrated solution for campuses.
Uber and Campus Apps
Uber and Modo Labs have partnered to enable students to request rides from within their campus apps. With Modo Labs' Kurogo Publisher Collage screen type, universities can add an Uber ride request to their apps. The administrator has the option to set a pre-established pick-up location or enable the Uber app to geolocate users. Once a ride is requested from the campus app, the Uber app launches with the pick-up location and destination already populated.
"Uber is committed to making transportation more affordable and reliable for students in cities and towns around the globe. We are excited to work with Modo to develop innovative solutions that address transportation challenges while making our campuses and communities safer and more accessible, said Chris Taylor, Uber Boston General Manager.
Students "Test Drive" Uber
Ahead of the official Uber launch in Kurogo Publisher, participants of the Great Mobile Appathon, a mobile hackathon for student non-developers, had the opportunity to build an app on the Modo Labs platform and "test drive" the Uber integration before it went live.
Team Appid Fire, the national winning team from Harvard University, opted to utilize the Uber functionality within their app, bliss, a resource to connect students to mental health resources and destigmatize mental health issues.
Juan Cuan-Martinez, a member of Team Appid Fire, was a regular Uber user prior to the appathon. "I personally have used Uber on various occasions that vary from needing a quick ride to the airport to making sure I get home safely after a party," he said. "I view Uber as a reliable app by which I can expand my immediate environment without the fear of locations being 'too far.'"
His teammate and Harvard classmate, Catherine Bousquet, felt similarly. "I typically use Uber when it might be unsafe to take public transportation or walk. I would definitely consider Uber a 'must-have' app for college students."
As for integrating the Uber functionality into bliss, Cuan-Martinez commented, "The main purpose of bliss is to ensure that anyone that needs [mental health services] or would like help receives it—no matter what the obstruction is. No one should be denied aid because it is too far away. For this reason, we decided to integrate Uber into our app in order to make sure that distance was as small of a barrier as possible."
For students and universities, Uber does more than allow one to "hitch a ride" or crowdsource one's commute. It's also about having peace of mind and staying safe on campus.

The Battlax Sport Touring T31 is Bridgestone's new flagship tyre for safety and performance, with a new pattern design, compound upgrades and improved low temperature and wet weather performance.
Part of the development includes molecular level R&D on increasing silica dispersion in the rubber, while a larger contact patch for lean angles ensures higher camber thrust. The new front compound offers better rubber flexibility, ensuring vastly improved contact feel, with up to a 7 per cent larger contact patch.
There's been no sacrifice on wear life either, with enhanced neutrality and lighter handling, while water dispersion is increased thanks to the new pattern design, and a 3LC and Cap & Base construction ensuring strong feel.
Bridgestone are claiming much stronger wet weather performance in comparison to the T30 Evo, in grip, traction and braking performance, while moderate dry performance gains are also found. Wear life should also be comparable to the T30 Evo, with no trade-offs made.

How to onboard teams and build strong connections with distributed working
7 December 2020 |
X minutes
The last year has shown us that remote and distributed working is here to stay. Businesses have had to adjust to a new way of working, and with many realising the benefits of this new approach, it's unlikely we're going to revert back to the office life we once knew – even when the pandemic is over! Indeed, with more flexible working hours and the ability to hire talent beyond the traditional commuter range, it's no wonder that companies are expecting approximately 40% of their employees to make use of a remote working model in the future.
With this shift in mind, organisations are re-evaluating many of their traditional processes to reflect this new model. At Healx, we believe that one of the most important team processes is that of onboarding new employees. After interviews, it is the first time new employees see the company culture in action and it is a critical moment to bring people on board, and up to speed. We've learned a lot over the last few months about how to onboard people remotely and how to build a digital programme that engages, empowers and educates new starters – ensuring that they can hit the ground running and make a difference as quickly as possible.
In this blog, we have outlined ways in which our onboarding processes have evolved over the last few months and the top ways you can make the process a success for your business, whether working remotely or in the office.
Shifting processes to accommodate change
At Healx, like so many other companies, our onboarding processes have had to evolve to accommodate remote and distributed working. We've had to think more creatively about how we introduce new joiners to our culture and help them build lasting relationships within the team. It is with this in mind that we switched from an individual induction programme to a cohort-based programme. People are inducted at the same time each month, and each cohort takes all of their induction sessions together, helping to create an instant bond between them. In order to fully immerse themselves in Healx's culture, new hires take part in multiple sessions over the course of a week, from values and mission talks, to team lunches and virtual yoga. They're also assigned a buddy to help guide them through their first few weeks and be on hand to answer any questions that might arise during the induction process. Every joiner also has a Zoom lunch with our CEO and founder, Dr Tim Guilliams. While this is all taking place virtually at the moment, our onboarding process has been developed to ensure our new hires feel fulfilled within their roles and connected to their colleagues, despite not being in the same physical location.
Retaining communication, at work and beyond
Remote working is unlikely to be successful in the long-term unless there is effective and transparent communication across the business and among peers. When distributed, setting realistic expectations and being open about availability helps the whole workforce, as well as new employees, to understand what their teammates are working on and where their attention is focused. As well as implementing Slack as our single platform for conversation around work-based matters, regular meetings allow everyone to remain updated. For example, we have a weekly All Hands meeting on company-wide announcements and virtual Team Weeks where all colleagues come together for a week of bonding, collaboration and strategising for the next quarter.
As well as encouraging a culture of communication and transparency through regular conversations, the culture of connectivity cannot be overlooked. We encourage our teams to learn more about each other by participating in casual coffee chats via a Slack extension called Donut. This allows people to connect on a more personal level, so water cooler moments can be recreated at home and new hires can get to know their co-workers as people, not just colleagues.
Education is the key to success
Since March, Healx has hired and onboarded 22 new employees. This scale would never have been possible without thorough investment of time and money into the right training and tools to support our team and leaders to grow. We have used a wide range of resources, to provide new joiners with as much knowledge as possible in their first few weeks and empower them to educate themselves about our work and culture. Lessonly has been one of the most helpful tools in our tech stack, helping teams build out self-curated mixed-media online lessons so that new joiners can learn at their own pace.
One of our new members of the team is Sunny Sandhu who joined Healx in November as a Product Manager, and had to onboard completely remotely due to the pandemic. Reflecting on his experience, Sunny said: "Onboarding onto any new position or company can be a mix of emotions at the best of times — usually excitement with a little apprehension. Healx's approach made me feel welcome before I had even walked through the door (or in my case, flipped open my laptop). The People Team stayed in regular contact with me over the weeks leading up to my start date, meaning that I felt equipped with the right tools and supported before my first day. My highlights from the first week were having coffee with the Exec Team, playing two truths one lie with the CEO, and the thorough team inductions!"
Without the help of technology and an emphasis on education, we never would have been able to onboard new joiners like Sunny as seamlessly and thoroughly as we have succeeded in doing.
Although remote working has required a shift in most day-to-day business operations, it has also empowered companies to take a step back and identify which processes can be adapted to provide a better experience for the entire company. At Healx, we take pride in our onboarding process – although we know there is always more to learn and do! Whether it's circulating information to the wider team to keep everyone up to date, or encouraging a no-meetings-over-lunch policy, we have undoubtedly experienced learnings that will be implemented for the long term. By reshaping how we onboard people, we have helped to educate our new hires and fully immerse them in Healx's culture, giving them an experience that has been positively adapted, rather than tarnished by remote working.
Below are some tips on how all businesses can succeed to onboard new joiners, even when remote.
5 top tips for successfully onboarding during distributed working:
Don't be afraid to tear up the rule book and evolve processes as needed
Over-communication and transparency is key
Don't compromise on culture
Invest in the right technologies and training
Immerse new joiners in key company values

Q: After form validation, how do you redirect to a new url w/ PHP I'm very new to back-end web work and I'm trying to create a form for my theatre wherein someone can submit a space inquiry form.  I have the form made, it works, but what I want it to do is after they hit 'submit' and the form is validated and emailed to us, they'll be redirected to a "thank you" page.  I've tried using the behaviors in Dreamweaver CS3 but if I use onClick->goto URL, it will go, but if the page doesn't validate, I'll still get the incomplete warning and they have no chance to fix it.  Right now, the validation works, but I don't have the onClick->goto URL in place and it just refreshes with a blank form.
Here's the PHP I've been using:
<?

if(sizeof($_POST)) {
$body = "";
while(list($key, $val) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS)) {
$body .= "$key: $val \n";
}

mail("rentals@woollymammoth.net",
"Rental Request",
$body);

?>

here's the Javascript:
   <form action=<? echo $PHP_SELF; ?> method="post" name="rentalRequest"  onSubmit="MM_validateForm('firstName','','R','lastName','','R','organization','','R','emailAddress','','RisEmail','phone','','R','address1','','R','city','''R','guestNumber','','RisNum','timeStart','','R');return document.MM_returnValue">

I've spent the better part of the day researching this online and cannot find an answer.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  I'm willing to send cookies to whomever can help me out.

A: You have to send an HTTP Location header ; this can be done, in PHP, with code such as this example :
header('Location: http://www.example.com');
exit();

A couple of notes :

*

*The header function must be called before any output is sent to the browser.

*The exit() call makes sure that your script really ends immediatly after the call to header()

*In theory, you should use an absolute URL (such as http://www.example.com/test.php), for the HTTP Location header -- even if a relative URL (such as test.php) generally works in browsers.

A: In PHP, you can redirect using this code:
header("Location: thanks.php");

Add this after you have handled the form submission. For completeness, consider adding exit(); after the header() function to prevent any further execution.

A: You can use the header() function in php to change the 'location' variable, read more @ http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php :-)

I have been looking at the comments from across all University of Southampton FutureLearn courses in an attempt to understand the place that the Archaeology of Portus learners fit within the wider community of learners on other University of Southampton FutureLearn courses.
As a first step I have aggregated the comments from all of the UoS courses that have run to date and then produced a simple network visualisation using the wonderfully easy to use NodeXL. The network diagram above shows connections between pairs of courses on the basis of a single learner having commented on both courses. I have excluded learner enrolement (i.e. learners who are enrolled on both courses but may not have commented on either) and concentrated on those learners who have posted comments. This will also allow me to look at the types of comments posted and the learner demographics in the hope that we can in turn improve courses better to reflect the needs of the UoS learner community. For example, what cross-references would it help to put in place (as we have with Hadrian's Wall)? Should we provide specific advice or areas of further study based on potential previous courses?
The edge symbology in the network is based on a comparison between the number of unique authors posted on both courses in any pair, and the maximum possible unique authors who could have posted (in this case based on the lower of the two total numbers of learners who posted comments). I then scaled this percentage to match the symbology requirements of NodeXL with respect to line width and opacity.
The network shows a clear cluster of learners, not surprisingly, around the topics of maritime archaeology (Shipwrecks), the archaeology of ports (Portus, Rome, Ostia etc.) and Oceanography (Oceans). It is also interesting to note that the other courses are proportionally much less likely to share learners, including learners moving from one "run" of a course to another.
Drilling down into the statistics demonstrates that of those learners who have commented on more than one course, nearly a fifth had commented on at least three. Looking at the raw figures this is far more than one would expect were these members of the UoS teams. If you look at these learners in terms of the courses on which they are commenting Shipwrecks emerges again as the key bridging course. You can then go on to look at the behaviour of these learners in comparison to others. For example, we have already looked at the distribution of comments in terms of the proportion of liked comments or proportion of comments which are responses to others, as a coarse reflection of the kinds of behaviour seen on each course. Learners who have posted on three or more courses are considerably more likely to have their comment "liked" and so perhaps these learners are playing a role as intermediaries? This is supported by the fact that these learners are more than twice as likely to post a comment in response to a previous comment, than learners who are involved in only one or two courses.
We will certainly be using these simple analyses as part of the continuing design of the Archaeology of Portus course. For example, how can we harness this behaviour to encourage rapid spread of updated information?
As ever it is wonderful to be able to thank so many learners who are contributing their thoughts, suggestions (and criticisms!) so generously. Now that I have nearly completed a second run of Portus the power of analytics to improve learning is, not surprisingly, obvious.

Hi Graeme, How very interesting.
In my case my Father was an Admiralty scientist who' worked with Cousteau and developed sonar for submarines (asdic as it was called in the post war era). He also was based at the Embassy in Washington in the 70s being involved with the submersible drift vehicle which followed the Gulf Stream.
His love or archaeology and history has by osmosis been transmitted to me. Boats and the sea are in my blood ……so as a result my wife and I cannot get enough of the Classical period and if it involves anything to do with water, ports shipping and the ancient world we would love to be informed. Many thanks for a superb course, many questions still remain.
That is interesting analysis. At my own university Portus was a key topic in the introductory subjects to maritime landscape and maritime based terrestrial archaeology. There is a strong connection between the two. This led to my own interest in the course as there are no local topics on offer. It would be interesting to see the demographics of participants from Southhampton University as I believe the quality of instruction in these fields is second to none.
Many thanks to you and your colleagues for a fabulous course! No way in my whole career have I been involved in archaeology in any shape or form, but I have been inspired by the enthusiasm exhibited by all.
How many people started the course and how many finished it?
How many finished the course and made no comment?
I have always wondered how "massive" a MOOC really is! 100s? 1000s?
I found this an interesting post.
I am one of the oddballs that have done Web Science, Portus-1, Portus-2 and Hadrian's Wall. It might have been interesting to have included Hadrian's Wall in the graph but I recognise that there are issues involved in doing so.
The links that have been provided between Portus and Hadrian's Wall are interesting and useful. Additionally they provide different viewpoints on some issues and I am planning to look at these relationships in more detail.
Doing Portus for a second time was a different experience to doing it for the first time and I feel that I have gained a lot from it. I am finding it difficult to imagine what I would gain from taking Web Science again but I cannot specify why I am taking this position.

Recording Location
Ezee Studios, London, England
AllMusic Review by Eduardo Rivadavia
To the casual observer, Warfare's second album, 1985's Metal Anarchy, would seem like nothing more than a carbon copy of their first. But the welcome presence of heavy metal icon Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister in the producer's chair was just the first of many subtle difference-makers on hand. Besides putting his personal imprint on the material by giving it a distinct crunch and Motörhead-like echo, Lemmy may have also had a hand in helping Warfare fully embrace their metallic tendencies while putting their punk rock habits behind them once and for all. Its two-faced title may have hinted otherwise, but the lyric choices and consistently ferocious attack inside were dead giveaways to this new focus. Borrowing a page from Accept's book of tricks (their classic tune "Fast as a Shrak," to be precise), Warfare kicked off Metal Anarchy with a misleading snippet of the Sound of Music soundtrack before rudely interrupting it with their most vicious thrasher yet, the apropos-named "Electric Mayhem." Ensuing standouts like "Death Vigilance," "Living for the Last Days," "Military Shadow," and the title track never waver in intensity, yet they remain surprisingly accessible thanks to their clear, uncomplicated arrangements. All of which helped ensure that Metal Anarchy would go down as Warfare's finest LP, but would also make it an impossible act to follow.

Currently building out a number of 2012 R2 SCVMM standalone servers for a customer. The SCVMM server also hosts it's own local SQL DB and WSUS for patching of the hosts and the local SCVMM infrastructure.
Today I ran some tests, patching the SCVMM server via remediation in the console. All went well until after reboot where I rescanned the SCVMM server, nothing had updated, still not compliant. I then noticed that the WSUS service was not running, the WSUS console would not show my server and there were lots of 7053 errors for the WSUS service.
After some digging I found one of the installed updates had broken WSUS (KB3159706). Removed the update, rebooted and all is well again.
Oh and I have not declined the update and updated the base lines in SCVMM.
Follow the instructions in the article above and WSUS will spring back into action.

Guyana's trade markets limited to few WTO members
An analysis of Guyana's trade relations reveals that it has conducted trade with 67 members of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Among the 67 are the 14 other member states of CARICOM.
Since CARICOM is treated as a single market, one is in effect talking about 53 other member states of the WTO with which Guyana does business.
Despite having trade relations with 41 percent of the membership of the WTO, Guyana's trade remains stubbornly undiversified, particularly on the export side. Only five of the 53 markets impacted the country significantly between 2006 and 2015.
Those five markets account for 73 percent of Guyana's GDP, 70 percent of its exports and foreign revenues and 47 percent of its imports. They are CARICOM, the United States of America (USA), Canada, the United Kingdom (UK)/European Union (EU) and Venezuela.
CARICOM accounts for 25 percent of Guyana's GDP. Trade is concentrated between Barbados, Jamaica, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago which collectively represented 92 percent of total trade with CARICOM in 2014 and 2015. The USA accounts for 24 percent, Canada is responsible for 12 percent, the UK contributes seven percent and Venezuela accounts for five percent of our GDP.
The remaining 27 percent of the GDP comes from 48 other WTO-member countries none of which individually has a significant bearing on the national output. What this indicates is that the diversity in our trade relations is more on the import side.
MAIN TECHNOLOGICAL TRENDS
The age of information technology is here. Whilst efforts are being made to bridge the digital divide in Guyana, globally, e-commerce and the digital economy generated $2,272 billion in revenues in 2015, an increase of 19.9% over the previous year and $2,671 billion in 2016, a 17.5% increase over 2015.
The Private Sector needs to take note of these developments and move towards using digital platforms to market their products.
On the agricultural commodity side, the recent focus has been on organic cultivation and production, and investing in research for more resilient seed species.
REMOVAL OF TRADE BARRIERS
There has been minimal progress in the removal of trade barriers globally. Majority of countries seek to address these issues via the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement, as well as via other multilateral, continental and/or bilateral trading arrangement.
With regard to non-tariff barriers these are usually addressed by regulatory reforms and should be non-discriminatory. In recent times, some countries, Mexico for example, have sought to be creative in addressing regulatory reform: encourage wider use of IT tool, use of international standards for technical regulations, etc.
To address some of these barriers, the Government of Guyana is working with counterpart agencies in destination countries for the removal of these barriers as these initiatives continue.
In addressing concerns of small developing countries, alternatives thus far include joint public-private involvement, cooperation in health and safety matters as well as in agronomic and biological research.
At the regional level there could be effective public-private coordination, outreach/education activities, training and inspection, and in many cases the adoption of common standards as in the case of CARICOM.
There are also efforts being made to access technical assistance for the Private Sector to meet entry and standards requirements at destination markets.
These requirements also have implications for lab and testing facilities required to ensure that our exports reach certain standards required by destination countries. To this end, the government has taken initiatives aimed at the establishment of up-to-date testing facilities to improve the quality of exports.

JOHN KANE
Full Name: John Kane
Codename: Cain
Occupation Freelance Agent
Creator: Ralph Dennis
John Kane is a freelance assassin.
That's what he has been doing for a couple of years now, operating more or less out of Atlanta. Kane would take only the cases that interested him but when he toke one on, he saw it to the end and that end was usually final for someone. Kane was very, very good at dispatching people, especially when they deserved it and deserving it was the deciding factor as to whether Kane would accept the job.
The jobs came to him via his broker, Jackson Carter, CPA. At least Certified Public Accountant is what the lettering on the door says but as his secretary and receptionist, Sarah, could tell you, she is instructed to turn away any new business with a friendly "no new clients at this time". And she might admit that there have been no old clients for the two years she has worked there. Carter was really the sort of man that someone who knows someone who knows someone would be contacted when there was a special sort of work needing doing. And Kane was the man that Carter would often call to do it.
But Kane had not always been Kane. Before, he was Cain, a codename for the man he had once been. Edward Starke, born about 35 years before the first recorded adventure. Raised in Virginia with a good family life, attended college on a football scholarship until an injury ended that. Denied military service because of that injury. Then while working at a gun store, came to the attention of Whistler.
Whistler was a big wig with the Agency. He saw in Starke a talent for killing and looked further into him. Eventually a job offer was made and after the requisite training, Starke became Cain and then followed several years of solid service. Then the explosion, the physical and mental trauma that would alter him. But he knew too much. In some circumstances, he might be marked for elimination but Whistler chose not. What Kane was given, unknown to him, was a second choice.
Chemically induced amnesia, followed by sessions to "give" him a new identity with a past of its own that did not include the Agency. Now named John Kane, he was put out on the street but monitored. His new history had him with a different but still happy childhood, service in the Army, a good past.
But when someone has been trained and trained to be a killer and had killed on numerous occasions as part of his 'normal' life, can that be forgotten? The answer is no. So Starke became Cain the government killer who became Kane the contract killer.
1 Deadman's Game
Written by Ralph Dennis
Kane accepts a contract to find what happened to the brother of a woman and to exact vengeance if warranted. With help he tracks the man to a small city in the South and learns of the man's murder. His path is then clear but following him is a CIA agent ordered to take Kane out for good.
2 Kane (working title)
An unpublished manuscript written sometime around 1978.
2.5 A Talent For Killing
Written by Ralph Dennis, Lee Goldberg
This is a newly released merge between Deadman's Game and Kane, edited and partially rewritten by Goldberg, Lee to make one story. The plot of this rewrite is: "Kane was a top CIA assassin until he suffered traumatic physical and psychological injuries in a mission that went horribly wrong. The Agency wiped his memory, gave him a new identity, and retired him to a life of mundane, anonymous domesticity. But his training, and his talent for killing, came back with a vengeance. He created a new life for himself as a killer-for-hire, righting wrongs for people who can't find peace or justice any other way. He doesn't know that his memories are fiction, or that he is always being watched, or that he's been targeted for death by a rogue faction within the Agency."
Back in the day, I would not have added Ralph Dennis's spy novel, Deadman's Game, even if I did read a few years ago in a Mystery File article that there had been an unpublished sequel. I mean, of course, I could have but unpublished meant just that.
Then Lee Goldberg, champion of all things Ralph Dennis and the man who resurrected the terrific Hardman series of private detective adventures, got permission to also dust off that unpublished yarn and, according to him, clean it up with some editing and needed tweaks and voila!
I was fortunate to get a sneak peak at the finished combination and absolutely loved it. Once I saw that work was itself released to the public, I jumped at the chance to rave about it on Amazon via review and to add this entry. I recommend the book strongly to anyone who likes both spy novels and private detective novels with a nice twist of assassin thrown in. Fun fun couple of books merged into one.

An impromptu question in class led to most of our discussion last night - We've heard Joe and Cornell Dupree do instrumental versions of I Ain't Got You now; how should a player think about converting a vocal tune into an instrumental? And in particular, is there such a thing as too much repetition of a melody like the vocal melody in I Ain't Got You?
A good discussion ensued and Joe and Shoji both agreed melody is king and repetition is good. Play the melody well; allow for tiny color and tonal variations in it, and then remember the solo section allows for looser play.
Shoji demonstrated with an off-the-cuff guitar version and we'll look into this topic more next week with a couple examples.
Next week is the last class of the session. Be sure to sign up now for the next eight weeks.

My friend and owner of Dutchman Customs, Bill Ade, has been part of how I got involved with cares and just finished a 3 year build on a very rare 1956 Cadillac Miller-Meteor Combination coach.
had the parts just sitting in my back yard for years. We had a brainstorm one day and got a tape measure out and started measuring things, did up some sketches and cut up a scale model to see if I liked it. Showed it to a client and he liked the idea.


When MAC Cosmetics announced that they would be launching a Selena Makeup Collection, inspired by the late Latin music icon, Selena Quintanilla, I was stoked! I could only imagine what the colors would be like (the brightest red matte lipstick ever!)…and the names (Bidi Bidi Bom Bom or Como La Flor). It got me thinking about the influence of our culture on the beauty industry and how our culture is becoming part of (and transforming) the mainstream, including the beauty industry (yes, we do buy–and wear–more lipstick!). So, in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, here is a nod to some amazing Latin-inspired beauty products.

Q: How to handle pagination using python requests? I need help on how to use python requests GET to get data from api that have multiple page.
Lets say the api returns below response for current_key=223132
{
 "result":[
    {
    "aaa": 123,
    "bbb": 456,
    ...,
    ...
    }
  ],
  "next_key": 889182
 }

Next for current_key=889182
{
 "result":[
    {
    "aaa": 789,
    "bbb": 0,
    ...,
    ...
    }
  ],
  "next_key": 188192
 }

As you can see, the value of next_key indicates the next page/latest page with latest data. current_key indicates current page.
What I want to do now is every time I run requests.get it will always retrieve data for the next page.
I tried with below script but it always retrieve the data for current_key=223132
import requests
import json

data_set = []

url = "https://flespi.io/gw/channels/all/messages"
headers = {"Authorization":"MyToken"}
data = {"limit_count": 100, "limit_size": 1000}

query = {'data': json.dumps(data, separators=(',', ':'))}

r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=query)

I am thinking maybe I can put the parameter for page at data like this
data = {"limit_count": 100, "limit_size": 1000, "current_key": next_key}

but I think I might need to do requests.get without current_key parameter first before redo the requests.get with current_key parameter. In other words, get the value for next_key first then insert it on the next requests.get. That seems like a bad practice.
Is anyone have better idea?
Thank you for your help and suggestion. I really appreciate it.

A: If your service does not provide total page, count for you:
use another solution
In this situation (that does not support pagination and Pager), you can implement load more, it requests data every time you need more data, like pinterest, instagram


Being in love is one of the best feelings ever and when you are sure about the person you are with, you want to take things to the next level. Recently, Pooja Bedi shared a post on Instagram and announced her engagement to her boyfriend, Maneck Contractor.
Pooja and Maneck have known each other since their school days and reconnected last year. Pooja was earlier married to Farhan Furniturewalla and they have two kids- Alaia and Omar. Both her children seem to be fond of Maneck.
In an interview with Bombay Times, she shared that she got divorced on February 14, 2003, and got engaged on February 14, 2019. She added that she has had relationships in between and her kids have liked the person she's been with but with Maneck, things are very different, they adore him! She also shared that Omar and Alaia are happy that she is finally settling down.
As per reports, the couple will be tying the knot this year. Congratulations, Pooja and Maneck!
