Bruce Katz is the Co-Founder (with Jeremy Nowak) of New Localism Advisors. The mission of the firm is to help cities design, finance and deliver transformative initiatives that promote inclusive and sustainable growth. Bruce is the co-author of The New Localism: How Cities Can Thrive in the Age of Populism (Brookings Institution Press, 2018) and The Metropolitan Revolution: How Cities and Metros are Fixing Our Broken Politics and Fragile Economy (Brookings Institution Press, 2013). Both books focus on the rise of cities and city networks as the world’s leading problem solvers. Katz was the inaugural Centennial Scholar at the Brookings Institution from January 2016 to March 2018, where he focused on the challenges and opportunities of global urbanization. Prior to assuming this role, Bruce J. Katz was a vice president at the Brookings Institution and founding Director of the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program. About the Dayton Arcade he wrote about the need to make projects like this easier for all involved. With permission, below is an excerpt of Katz’s article. “In October 2018 I visited Dayton for the first time as part of an Opportunity Zones effort I had undertaken in partnership with Accelerator for America. I did not know then that Mayor Nan Whaley and Shelley Dickstein, her indefatigable City Manager, had a surprise in store for me. They and their colleagues took me for a tour of the Dayton Arcade, an historical gem that was on the verge of rebirth and renewal. Now comes the transformative part. Earlier this year, the city announced that a deal had been struck with Cross Street Partners, McCormack Baron and the Model Group on a first phase $90 million mixed-used project that includes housing, offices, restaurants, and retail. The Arcade’s anchor tenant will be the Arcade Innovation Hub LLC, a joint venture between the University of Dayton and the Entrepreneurs Center. (Disclosure: I have known Bill Struever of Cross Street Partners and Richard Baron for decades and long admired the quality of their work and their unshakeable commitment to cities). Now comes the sobering news. The Dayton Arcade project has 26 layers of financing (!), including $22 million in Low Income Housing Tax Credits, $15.9 million in Property Assessed Clean Energy funding, $16 million in federal historic tax credits, $12.5 million in New Market Tax Credit equity and $9 million in state historic tax credits. With all these disparate layers, some of which had layers within layers, it is not surprising that more than 35 attorneys were present at the closing. A recent Dayton Business Journal article on “The Women of the Dayton Arcade” referred to Frances Kern Mennone, Director of Development at Cross Street Partners, as “The Muscle” for her ability to push this financing through to fruition! We need to examine closely the financial structure of this transaction NOT to determine how best to replicate the capital stack from hell but rather how to simplify, streamline AND bring new patient and market-oriented investors into the mix. The Dayton Arcade is the most transformative project in America. But it should never have taken this long or been this complicated to accomplish. Opportunity Zones have unveiled the insanity and dysfunctionality of the current system and are offering some new solutions and capital stacks. But the broader messages are clear. As a country, we are not valuing the right things. Institutional investors – many of whom made their wealth in places like Dayton – are not investing in the right places. And most communities do not have the human capital – the people – with sufficient experience and expertise to suffer through the existing system and invent the new one. There is much work to do. – Bruce Katz” ← Interns Help Businesses Boost International Sales Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority Receives Two Grants Awarded by ODNR through Governor DeWine’s H2Ohio Initiative → Excitement is Growing for the Digital Futures Building’s Official Opening Sep 22, 2022 When the Digital Futures building officially opens to the public on September 23, the greater Cincinnati region will be one step closer to creating a world-class innovation district in Uptown Cincinnati.

The Senate failed to move forward on legislation to reform the National Security Agency or renew the Patriot Act early on Saturday morning, making it almost a sure bet that portions of the Patriot Act expire at the end of the month.
After a frenzied series of votes that were repeatedly knocked down, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Addison (Mitch) Mitchell McConnellWhite House pleads with Senate GOP on emergency declaration Senate Dems seek to turn tables on GOP in climate change fight Pence meets with Senate GOP for 'robust' discussion on Trump declaration MORE (R-Ky.) ordered lawmakers to return home for the Memorial Day weekend and return at noon on May 31 for a rare Sunday session and “one more opportunity to act responsibly.”
ADVERTISEMENT
That would give lawmakers just 12 hours to act before portions of the Patriot Act expire — a conclusion almost everyone has said would seriously hamper national security.
“We know what’s going on overseas. We know what’s been tried here at home,’ an exasperated McConnell told lawmakers after 1 a.m.
“We’ve got a week to discuss it. We’ll have one day to do it,” he added. “But we’d better get ready next Sunday afternoon to prevent the country from the danger by the total expiration of the program.”
Starting shortly after midnight on Saturday morning, the Senate voted 57-42 to block legislation to reform the NSA, called the USA Freedom Act.
The late vote to block the USA Freedom Act — approved by the House last week in a bipartisan 338-88 vote — was quickly followed by a vote to kill a planned two-month extension of the current law from McConnell, 45-54. Sixty votes were needed to win on the procedural motion and proceed to the bill.
Then, in a dramatic turn on the Senate floor, McConnell repeatedly tried — and was repeatedly blocked — to extend the June 1 deadline of the Patriot Act provisions to June 8, then June 5, followed by June 3 and finally June 2.
All were blocked. Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) — fresh off his 10.5-hour floor speech opposing the Patriot Act — led the charge against McConnell’s effort, and was joined by Sens. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.).
With lawmakers scrambling to find a solution to the looming deadline, there appears to be no agreed upon path forward. The prospect that the three provisions sunset at the end of the month appears more likely than ever.
“We’ve entered into a momentous debate,” Paul said in objecting to McConnell’s move. “This is a debate about whether or not a warrant is a single name of a single company can be used to collect all of the phone records of all of the people in our country.”
“Our forefathers would be aghast,” he added.
Paul is demanding that he be allowed to introduce amendments going forward, but he is clashing with GOP leaders, most notably McConnell.
Paul and McConnell have been allies in recent years, with Paul backing McConnell in his reelection bid last year. McConnell has endorsed Paul's 2016 bid for president. But their sharply different views on national security have been seen on the Senate floor over the last few days.
The Patriot Act measures expire on June 1, and contains the provisions authorizing the NSA surveillance programs.
Since the House has recessed for the month, it seems nearly certain that the provisions will expire for at least a short while after the clock strikes midnight on May 31 but before House lawmakers return the afternoon of June 1.
“Make no mistake, it will expire,” said Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.), whose state includes the NSA’s headquarters.
The Senate’s inability to act is “absolutely outrageous,” she added. “I worry about our country and I worry about our ability to govern.”
“This is as serious as it gets.”
McConnell argued that moving forward with a shorter-term bill and then allowing Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to work on their own bill was the only possible path forward.
“The two-month extension, it strikes me, would be in the best interest of getting an outcome that’s in the best interest for the Senate and the House and hopefully the president.”
Supporters of the bipartisan House bill, in contrast, are outraged.
“Let’s be clear what happened here,” Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) said after the vote was finalized. “We tried with a majority to protect this country and the Republicans objected. Let’s be clear.”
A dozen Republican senators ended up supporting the USA Freedom Act, including presidential candidate Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Sens. Mike Lee (R-Utah), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), James Lankford (R-Okla.) and Tim Scott (R-S.C.).
Saturday morning’s failure was also a serious setback for the Obama administration, which had been lobbying members of Congress to pass the USA Freedom Act so that the Patriot Act provisions do not expire.
But while President Obama aggressively lobbied members of his own party to back him on fast-track trade legislation this week, the president was not as vocal on the NSA provisions.
At the end of the month, three parts of the Patriot Act are set to expire, including the controversial Section 215 which the NSA has used to collect in bulk records about millions of Americans’ phone calls. The program was revealed by Edward Snowden two years ago, and has been the target of reform for civil libertarians ever since.
Failure of the USA Freedom Act — after a similar setback in the closing days of Democrats’ majority in the Senate last year — sends the loudest message yet that Congress is unable to agree on reforming the nation’s intelligence powers.
Senior administration officials have said that uncertainty caused by inaction on the bill would force them to wind down the NSA’s bulk phone collection program in the coming days. They also said it would present a host of operational problems for the NSA and FBI.
In addition to the phone records program, Section 215 also give powers to the FBI to collect various records, and the other provisions allow the agency to target possible “lone wolf” terrorists and people who rely on anonymous “burner” phones.
“There is no Plan B,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said earlier on Friday.
“The fact is we’ve got people in the United States Senate right now who are playing chicken with this,” he added. “And to play chicken with that is grossly irresponsible.”

People are already struggling with an out-of-control cost of living and skyrocketing inflation. Now Governor Brown’s administration wants to make life even more costly for hardworking Oregonians, all in the name of a political agenda that is out-of-touch with everyday people. “This proposal is dead on arrival.

“It’s also a huge day in Alabama: Election Day,” announced Stephen Colbert. “And now it is official: Roy Moore either is or isn’t our newest U.S. senator. Because you see, we taped tonight’s show long before the polls closed.”
That’s how The Late Show host kicked off his monologue on Tuesday night, alluding to the fact that his program generally tapes at around 5 p.m. daily—well before the votes will be tallied in the hotly contested U.S. Senate race in Alabama.
The Alabama Senate race pits the Trump-backed Republican Roy Moore, a homophobic, Islamophobic ex-judge who’s been accused of sexual misconduct by nine women (including an alleged pattern of preying on teenage girls) against Democrat Doug Jones, a man best known for prosecuting a pair of KKK members in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing that claimed the lives of four little black girls.
“One thing we do know is how Roy Moore got to the polls: He arrived on horseback,” offered Colbert. “And I just want to say to Roy Moore: Hello, you and the horse you rode in on.”
Colbert, in a Tuesday night tweet, claimed that “Roy Moore voted in the creepiest way possible”—that is, by riding in on his horse, dressed like Woody from Toy Story.
“Here’s a bit of an eyebrow-raiser: The horse’s name is ‘Sassy.’ Well, I mean, that is a lovely name for a magazine targeted at teenage girls,” said Colbert, before throwing to an image of teen-girl magazines titled Sassy.
“Hi-Hooooo, Sassy! Off to the mall!” Colbert exclaimed, before galloping around the set to loud cheers from his audience.
Then, after the results came in, with Democrat Doug Jones pulling off a shock victory over the accused child molester Moore, Colbert tweeted the following: “According to Alabama state law, Roy Moore now has to eat his horse.” | positive |

Hillary Clinton certainly had conversations with Bryan Pagliano, contradicting a statement she made under oath that she “does not recall” talking to him about managing the unsecured private email server she used to conduct all her business as Secretary of State.
Clinton talked to Pagliano — the IT staffer who pleaded the Fifth Amendment in the FBI investigation of her handling of classified materials — urgently about Blackberry trouble, according to new emails obtained by Judicial Watch.
When asked by Judicial Watch under oath to “identify all communications between you and Brian Pagliano” about the email server, Clinton dodged the request with a claim that she could not remember any such communications.
“Secretary Clinton states that she does not recall having communications with Bryan Pagliano concerning or relating to the management, preservation, deletion, or destruction of any e-mails in her clintonemail.com email account,” according to Clinton’s sworn testimony, which includes multiple objections in that answer alone.
These messages also join the pile of work-related emails that Clinton failed to turn over to the Department of State to comply with federal records-keeping laws — contradicting Clinton’s insistence that any emails she failed to produce were personal in nature.

Pagliano is accused of setting up Clinton’s secret email server, on the orders of Huma Abedin. The server was stored in upstate Chappaqua, according to most versions of the story. But in reality, it was sharing server space with the Clinton Foundation’s server in an office in New York City.
Clinton’s Blackberry and unsecured email server put U.S. intelligence at risk of exposure to foreign agents. In December 2010, her IT employees shut down security features on the server, causing top aide Huma Abedin to warn her colleagues, “Don’t email hrc (Clinton) anything sensitive. I can explain more in person.” The next month, an IT employee told Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff that he shut down the server — twice in one day — because “someone was trying to hack us.” She ignored a State Department warning telling her about a security “vulnerability” on an East Asia trip. Clinton admitted that the Chinese regularly attempted to hack her Blackberry, according to excerpts of her paid private speeches seen in Wikileaks’ release of emails from John Podesta. | positive |

The other day I found myself standing face-to-face with three young Arabs wielding butcher knives. It was late on a cold afternoon as a December darkness descended upon Jerusalem. I had just pulled my car into the parking lot of the local commercial center as the radio broadcast the news of yet another terrorist stabbing less than a 20-minute drive away. Absorbed in this latest bulletin, I took a few steps into the bright lights of the supermarket and there they were. One of them I recognized instantly and without hesitation did exactly what I knew my wife would want me to under the circumstances. “What have you got this week for a good cholent?” I ask Ahmed. “All the kids are coming for Shabbat.” He rummages behind the glass partition for the perfect piece of meat and holds it up for my approval. “Great. I’ll take two kilo,” I tell him. He weighs it, wraps it and hands it to me with a smile and wishes for a Shabbat Shalom.
I don’t know how or when it happened, but our Arab neighbors seem to have all but monopolized the kosher meat counters in the Holy City. They also seem to constitute a majority of our pharmacists. Nation-wide the percentage stands at 35%, far disproportionate to the 20% of the population they hail from, but in Jerusalem there appear to be many more. No surprise then that the next day I enter a drugstore to fill a prescription and again find myself standing in front of three Arabs in white jackets, two of them women.
Of course, the fact that my food and medicine is being handed to me by Arab countrymen (and women) doesn’t mean that there aren’t zealots among them. I recently joined a rather upscale health club only to discover that I am training regularly alongside a group of Arab fanatics — fanatic about their health, that is. They are there when I arrive and still going when I leave and it is impossible not to envy the results of their hard work and discipline.
To those who might retort that their exercising only serves to make them more formidable adversaries I have a rejoinder of my own.
A few weeks ago my wife, temporarily blinded by the setting sun, inadvertently ran a roadblock hastily placed near where she works. Other than the trauma of being stopped at gunpoint by IDF soldiers who had laid the spiked barrier at dusk across a street she navigates daily, the only real damage were two ruined tires that needed to be replaced before she could drive on. The neighborhood where all of this transpired was at the foot of Mt. Scopus, on the seam between east and west Jerusalem. A rather unsettling situation to find oneself, particularly given the rash of indiscriminate violence that the checkpoint had been set up in response to. Ironically, it was the Arab passers-by, not the Jewish ones, who came to her rescue, managing to bring help from a nearby garage.
.
Not that she was particularly surprised. A veteran librarian at Hebrew University’s schools of education and social work, she has for decades been interacting daily with dedicated and idealistic young Arabs who constitute a sizeable proportion of the student body.
More from our daily life. A ridiculous squabble with one of our neighbors — both of us Jewish — landed us in the Jerusalem Magistrates Court a few weeks ago. Correct. The judge hearing our case was an Arab.
Just before that we were blessed with the birth of a new grandson. Being our ninth, we already took for granted the presence of Arab mothers alongside our own children, being tended to by Arab doctors and being delivered by Arab midwives. Nor were we surprised to learn of an organization called Midwives for Peace set up to create dialog and understanding between Israelis and Palestinians based on the commonality of hope engendered by bringing new life into the world.
I don’t share these experiences to underplay the horror of the sustained wave of terror we have been experiencing for almost three months now, but rather to make three points.
1. Whatever take one might have of Government policy regarding the Arab sector or the pursuit of peace, it is utter and absolute nonsense to suggest that Israel is anywhere in the vicinity of approximating anything even remotely resembling apartheid. To suggest otherwise (with 13 duly elected Arabs serving in the 120-member Knesset!) is to do a gross injustice not only to the Zionist enterprise, but to the genuine suffering of millions who have lived under the cruel and deliberate repression of real apartheid regimes elsewhere.
2. Arabs and Jews don’t all hate one another. Certainly many on both sides of the divide would prefer that the other disappear, but I am confident that the majority of both of our peoples are reconciled to the fact that neither of us is going to leave and would be ready to make far-reaching compromises for a sustainable peace.
3. There is more co-existence in Israel than one is exposed to in the media. In addition to the examples brought above, Arab and Jew eat alongside one another in the restaurants of Mammilla just outside the Old City walls, enjoy the same outdoor recreational area of the Haas Promenade in Talpiot, and share space in the dorms, classrooms, and hallways of our universities.
But neither am I naïve. Just a few days after purchasing the meat for my cholent, three Palestinians from Jenin were apprehended in Afula carrying 23-cm butcher knives, undoubtedly similar to the one used by Ahmed. I know very well that had it been them that I’d come face to face with that cold winter afternoon, they’d have had no problem making cholent out of me. But in the midst of this unconscionable bestiality we face daily, it is essential that we hold fast to our humanity, resolutely uphold the legal rights and civil liberties of all, and proudly proclaim to the world who we are. | positive |

"After Extra Time" redirects here. For the Michael Nyman album, see After Extra Time (album)
Overtime or extra time is an additional period of play specified under the rules of a sport to bring a game to a decision and avoid declaring the match a tie or draw where the scores are the same. In some sports, this extra period is played only if the game is required to have a clear winner, as in single-elimination tournaments where only one team or players can advance to the next round or win the tournament. In other sports, particularly those prominently played in North America where ties are generally disfavored, some form of overtime is employed for all games.
The rules of overtime or extra time vary between sports and even different competitions. Some may employ "sudden death", where the first player or team who scores immediately wins the game. In others, play continues until a specified time has elapsed, and only then is the winner declared. If the contest remains tied after the extra session, depending on the rules, the match may immediately end as a draw, additional periods may be played, or a different tiebreaking procedure such as a penalty shootout may be used instead.
The terms "overtime" and "in overtime" (abbreviated "OT" or "IOT") are primarily used in North America, whereas the terms "extra time" and "after extra time" (abbreviated "a.e.t.") are usually used in other continents. However, in basketball, the terms "overtime" and "in overtime" are used worldwide.[1]
Knock-out contests (including professional competition) [ edit ]
In association football knock-out competitions or competition stages, teams play an extra 30 minutes, called extra time, when the deciding leg (or replay of a tie) has not produced a winner by the end of regulation or full-time. It follows a short break where players remain on or around the field of play and comprises two straight 15-minute periods, with teams changing ends in between. Although Laws of the Game states that extra time is one of the approved methods on deciding winner, competitions are not bound to adopting extra time, and each competition are free to choose any one or more methods designated in Laws of the Game on deciding winner.
In a one-off tie or deciding replay, level scores nearly always go to extra time. In games played over two legs (such as the UEFA Champions League or FIFA World Cup qualification) or even at lower levels (such as the English Football League play-offs), teams only play extra time in the second leg where the aggregate score – then normally followed by an away goals rule – has not produced a winner first. Ties in the FA Cup used to be decided by as many replays as necessary until one produces a winner within normal time rather than have any extra time or shootouts though, nowadays, replays are limited to just the one with the second going to extra time if teams are still level. Equally, CONMEBOL has historically never used extra time in any of the competitions it directly organises, such as the Copa Libertadores. Today, it uses extra time only in the final match of a competition. The score in games or ties resorting to extra time are often recorded with the abbreviation a.e.t. (after extra time) usually accompanying the earlier score after regulation time.
Ties that are still without a winner after extra time are usually broken by kicks from the penalty spot, commonly called a penalty shootout. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, many international matches tried to reduce this by employing the golden goal (also called "sudden death") or silver goal rules (the game ending if a team has the lead after the first 15-minute period of extra time), but competitions have not retained these.
U.S. collegiate rules [ edit ]
In NCAA college soccer rules, all matches that remain tied after ninety minutes have an overtime period. A sudden death golden goal rule is applied, with the game ending as soon as an overtime goal is scored. If neither team scores in the two ten-minute halves, the match ends in a draw unless it is a conference or national championship tournament match. A playoff game tied after two overtime periods then moves to a penalty kick shoot-out with the winner determined by the teams alternating kicks from the penalty mark.
U.S. high school rules [ edit ]
High school rules vary depending on the state and conference, but most will have a sudden-death overtime procedure wherein the game ends upon scoring a golden goal, although in some instances the overtime will go until completion with the team in the lead after time expires (i.e., silver goal rules) declared the winner. The overtime period length may vary, but it is commonly 10 minutes long. Depending on the state, if the game is still tied at the end of the first overtime:
As many additional overtime periods – golden or silver goal rules – may be played as needed to determine a winner.
After one or more overtime periods result in the score remaining tied, a shootout procedure may be played. In a shootout, the coaches or team captains select five players to shoot penalty kicks with teams alternating kicks from the penalty mark in an attempt to put the ball into the net. The procedure continues until each team has taken five kicks, or, if one side has scored more successful kicks, the other could not possibly reach with its remaining kicks.
If both teams make the same number of successful penalty kicks after all eligible players have taken their first kick, the procedure repeats; the teams are not required to follow the same order of kickers as was used for the first kick, and may replace one or more of the original kickers. The procedure repeats until one side has successfully converted more penalty kicks in a set of five attempts.
Depending on the state or conference, the game may go directly to a penalty shoot-out, rather than playing overtime.
The NFL introduced overtime for any divisional tiebreak games beginning in 1940, and for championship games beginning in 1946. The first postseason game to be played under these rules was the 1958 NFL Championship Game between the Baltimore Colts and New York Giants (the "Greatest Game Ever Played").
In 1974 the NFL adopted sudden death overtime for regular season and preseason games. If the score is tied after regulation time has expired, one additional period is played. Until the 2016 season, the period was 15 minutes in all games. Since 2017, it is 10 minutes for exhibition/regular season games. The captains meet with the officials for a coin toss, and then one side kicks off to the other, as at the start of a game. Under the original regular season format used through 2011, whoever scored first during the extra period won the game. Additionally, during regular season games, fourth quarter timing rules were in effect throughout the period, including a two-minute warning if necessary. In the regular season, if the overtime period is completed without either side scoring, the game ends in a tie.
Because there cannot be a tie in the playoffs, the teams would switch ends of the field and start multiple 15-minute overtime periods until one side scored, and all clock rules were as if a game had started over. Therefore, if a game was still tied with two minutes to go in the second (or fourth) overtime, there would be a two-minute warning (but not during the first overtime period as in the regular season). If it was still tied at the end of the second overtime, the team that lost the overtime coin toss would have the option to kick or receive, or to choose which direction to play; at the end of the fourth overtime, there is a new coin toss, and play continues.[2]
The longest NFL game played to date is 82 minutes, 40 seconds in the 1971–72 NFL playoffs on Christmas Day 1971 (the Chiefs' last-ever game at Municipal Stadium); Miami kicker Garo Yepremian kicked a 37-yard field goal at 7:40 of the second overtime. The longest game in all modern American professional football is 93 minutes, 33 seconds in a 1984 United States Football League playoff game, also using the true sudden death rule, in which the Los Angeles Express defeated the Michigan Panthers 27–21.
As a consequence of the 1974 rule changes, the number of tie games dropped dramatically. Only 24 NFL games have ended in a tie since then. The most recent was on 16 September 2018 when the Minnesota Vikings & Green Bay Packers fought to a 29-all tie, the 11th game to end that way since 1990.
Scoreless ties were common in the early years of the NFL, but none has happened since 1943, in part due to innovations added by Hugh "Shorty" Ray to encourage more scoring.
In March 2010, NFL owners voted to amend overtime rules for postseason games; the changes were extended to the regular season in 2012. The changes preserved sudden death with one notable exception: if the team that receives the opening kickoff scores a field goal, the team that initially kicked off gets one possession to tie or win the game; any other score on the opening possession ends the game immediately. In postseason games, if both teams are still tied after the first overtime, the procedure is repeated until a winner is declared; in regular-season games, if the score is tied after 10 minutes, the game ends. No 2010 postseason game went into overtime, so the first overtime game played after the implementation of this rule came in the wild-card round in 2011. Incidentally, this was also the shortest overtime in NFL history; Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham kicked off and the ball went out of the back of the end zone, resulting in a touchback and no time off the clock. Tim Tebow, then with the Denver Broncos, threw an 80-yard touchdown pass on the first play to Demaryius Thomas to give the Broncos the win in only 11 seconds.[3]
The first time the "first possession field goal" rule was enforced occurred on 9 September 2012, the first week of the season, in a game between the Minnesota Vikings and Jacksonville Jaguars. Minnesota's Blair Walsh kicked a 38-yard field goal on the Vikings' first drive. When Jacksonville regained possession, they failed to gain a first down, losing possession and the game on a failed fourth-down conversion. The first overtime in which both teams scored occurred on 18 November 2012, in a game between the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars; the Texans won 43–37. The first overtime game that ended in a tie after both teams scored in overtime occurred on 24 November 2013, when the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers played to a 26–all tie. On 5 February 2017, a Super Bowl went into overtime for the first time ever, with the New England Patriots defeating the Atlanta Falcons, 34–28; the Patriots scored a touchdown on their initial possession, so the Falcons never received the ball in overtime.
The Arena Football League and NFL Europe used a variant in which each team is guaranteed one possession. Whoever is leading after one possession wins the game; if the teams remain tied after one possession, the game goes to sudden death. This procedure was used by the United Football League in its inaugural 2009 season.[4] An exception is applied to second game of the 2018 AFL semifinal series, provided one team wins the first game and the second game ends with the two-game aggregate score tied, the game will continue with a standard overtime even if the score of the second game is not tied. All periods after first overtime are true sudden death periods.
The short-lived World Football League, for its inaugural 1974 season (the same year the NFL established sudden death in the regular season), used a fifteen-minute quarter of extra time, divided into two halves. It was not sudden death.
The New York Pro Football League, a 1910s-era league that eventually had several of its teams join the NFL, used the replay to settle ties in its playoff tournament. The replay was used in the 1919 tournament to decide the championship between the Buffalo Prospects and the Rochester Jeffersons. The teams had played to a tie on Thanksgiving; Buffalo won the replay 20–0 to win the championship.
In college (since the 1996 season) and high school football, as well as the Canadian Football League (since the 1986 season) and Alliance of American Football, an overtime procedure is used to determine the winner. This method is sometimes referred to as a "Kansas Playoff", or "Kansas Plan" because of its origins for high school football in that state. A brief summary of the rules:
A coin toss determines which side shall attempt to score first, and at which end zone the scores shall be attempted.
Each team in turn will receive one possession (similar to innings in baseball), starting with first-and-10 from a fixed point on the opponent's side of the field: In college football, the possession begins at the opponent's 25-yard line. Under standard high school football rules, and in the AAF, the possession begins at the 10-yard line. However, the high school rulebook only recommends the overtime procedure and allows state associations to use their own; the 15, 20, and 25-yard lines are variously used. In the CFL, where a single point can be scored on a punt, the possession begins at the 35-yard line.
The play clock runs as normal. There is no game clock, and all play is otherwise untimed.
A team's possession ends when it scores (touchdown or field goal), misses a field goal, or turns over the ball (either on downs or by the defense otherwise gaining possession).
In high school, college and the CFL, a field goal can be kicked at any time. Thus, if the first team fails to score, the opponent, already usually in field goal range, can end the game by kicking one (in the CFL, as previously noted, one can do the same with a single). In the AAF, no field goals are allowed at any time during the playoff.
As usual, a touchdown by the offense is followed by a try for one or two points. In NCAA football, starting in the third overtime period, teams must attempt a two-point conversion after a touchdown. Since 2010, CFL teams must also attempt the two-point conversion after any touchdown in overtime. The AAF requires two-point conversions after any touchdown.
attempt a two-point conversion after a touchdown. Since 2010, CFL teams must also attempt the two-point conversion after any touchdown in overtime. The AAF requires two-point conversions after any touchdown. In college football, the defense may score a touchdown on a play on which it gains possession by turnover; such a play will satisfy the condition of each team having a possession and will therefore end the game. In high school football, the defense is generally not allowed to score if it gains possession, although the Oregon School Activities Association adopted the college rule experimentally in 2005, and the two main high school governing bodies in Texas, the University Interscholastic League and Texas Association of Private and Parochial Schools, use NCAA football rules (as did Massachusetts through the 2018 season, after which it adopted standard high school rules). If scoring is not allowed or the turnover play does not end with a score, regardless of the eventual position of the ball at the end of the play, the team assumes offense and will begin their procedure from the specified position on the field.
Each team receives one charged time-out per offensive or defensive series (except in the CFL).
If the score remains tied at the end of the first overtime period, the procedure is repeated. The team with the second possession in one overtime will have the first possession in the next overtime.
In the CFL, there is a limit of two overtime procedures in regular-season games, and if the scores are still level, the game is a tie, but in playoff games, overtime periods are continued until a winner is determined. The AAF does the same, except that regular-season games end after only one overtime procedure, regardless of the score.
In American college and high school football, the overtime periods are continued until a winner is determined.
All points scored in overtime count as if they were scored in regulation. (This is in contrast to the analogous penalty shootout used in other sports, where shootout points are counted separately and only one point is awarded to the winner; however, this procedure is like extra innings in baseball.)
On two occasions, just two plays were required to determine an overtime winner in an NCAA football game: on 26 September 2002, when Louisville defeated Florida State 26–20 and on 27 September 2003, when Georgia Tech defeated Vanderbilt 24–17.
It is possible for a college game to end after a single play in overtime if the team on defense secures a turnover and returns it for a touchdown: on 9 September 2005, Ohio defeated Pittsburgh 16–10 on an 85-yard interception return by Dion Byrum on the third play of overtime. It is also possible for the defense to get a safety on the first play of overtime (which would also end the game), but this would require the offense to lose 75 yards on the play, which is extremely unlikely (such a scenario is attested in regular play from scrimmage in college football but never in an overtime period).
As of 2016, the Tennessee Volunteers have competed in the most overtime college football games, totalling 19.
The development of this "Kansas System" was implemented in 1970. The original Kansas System had each team start on the 10-yard line. Throughout the state that first year, seventy games went into overtime with one game requiring five overtime periods to determine a winner. After the system was reviewed positively by the majority of state's coaches and administrators, Kansas State High School Activities Association leadership presented the system to the National Federation of State High School Associations, who approved giving state associations the option of using the overtime system for two years. Two years later the overtime system became a permanent option for state associations use.[5]
Another type of overtime system was once used by the California Interscholastic Federation. Known as the "California tiebreaker", it was used in high school football from 1968 through the 1970s and ’80s.[6] The California tiebreaker starts with the ball placed at the 50-yard line, and the teams run four plays each (a coin toss decides who gets to go first), alternating possession at the spot of the ball after every play. If no one manages to score (field goals aren’t allowed), then the team that’s in its opponents’ territory at the conclusion of the eight plays is awarded one point and declared the winner. When the California tiebreaker was finally phased out, it was replaced by the Kansas tiebreaker.
XFL [ edit ]
The short-lived XFL used a modified Kansas Playoff, where the series would start on the 20-yard line and have four downs to score. However, if the first team to play overtime scored a touchdown in less than four downs, the second team would have to score in just as many plays (for instance, if the first team scored a touchdown on three downs, the second team would only have three downs to score a touchdown). Neither team could kick a field goal until the fourth down (a rule imposed to prevent teams from turning the overtime period into the equivalent of a penalty shootout). Although such a scenario never happened in the league's short life, the XFL rules did not explain what would happen should a turnover occur and the set of four downs end prematurely. Rather than a coin toss, the winner of the opening scramble at the beginning of the game also got to choose to go first or second in overtime.
Basketball [ edit ]
In basketball, if the score is tied at the end of regulation play, the teams play multiple five-minute overtime periods until a winner is decided. In levels below collegiate/Olympic play, an overtime period is half the length of a standard quarter, i.e., four minutes for high school varsity. 3x3 (originally FIBA 33), a formalized version of the halfcourt three-on-three game, uses an untimed overtime (the former FIBA 33 rules called for two-minute periods).[7] The alternating possession rule is used to start all overtime periods under international rules for full-court basketball,[8] while a jump ball is used under high school and NCAA rules, with the arrow reset based on the results of the jump ball to start each overtime. The (Women's) National Basketball Association, which use a quarter-possession rule to start periods after the opening jump, also use a jump ball.[9][10][11] In 3x3, whose current rules do not allow for a jump ball at any time in the game, the first possession in overtime is based on the result of a pregame coin toss; the winner of the toss can choose to take possession of the ball either at the start of the game or at the start of a potential overtime.[7] The entire overtime period is played; there is no sudden-death provision. The only exception is in 3x3, in which the game ends once either team has scored 2 points in overtime, with baskets made from behind the "three-point" arc worth 2 points and all other successful shots worth 1 point.[7] All counts of personal fouls against players are carried over for the purpose of disqualifying players (except in 3x3, where individual foul counts are not kept, but team foul counts are). If the score remains tied after an overtime period, this procedure is repeated.
As many as six overtime periods have been necessary to determine a winner in an NBA game.[12]
In exhibition games (non-competitive play), it is upon the discretion of the coaches and organizers if an overtime is to be played especially if it is a non-tournament game (a one-off event).
Starting in the 2009–10 season, Euroleague Basketball, the organizer of the EuroLeague and EuroCup, introduced a new rule for two-legged ties that eliminated overtime unless necessary to break a tie on aggregate. The rule was first used in the 2009–10 EuroCup quarterfinals (which consist of two-legged ties), although no game in that phase of the competition ended in a regulation draw.[13] Euroleague Basketball extended this rule to all two-legged ties in its competitions, including the EuroLeague, in 2010–11. One game in the qualifying rounds of that season (the only phase of the EuroLeague that uses two-legged ties), specifically the second leg of the third qualifying round tie between Spirou Charleroi and ALBA Berlin, ended in a draw after regulation. No overtime was played in that game because Spirou had won the first leg, and the two-legged tie. Although other competitions use two-legged ties at various stages, the FIBA Europe competitions are the only ones known to use overtime only if the aggregate score after the second game is tied.
A rule change in the FIBA rules effective 1 October 2017 (Article D.4.2) permits drawn games at the end of the either leg of the two-legged tie. The definition states, "If the score is tied at the end of the first game, no extra period shall be played."
In The Basketball Tournament, a 72-team single-elimination tournament held each summer in the U.S. with a $2 million winner-take-all prize, overtime has been abolished effective with the 2018 event. Games now employ the Elam Ending, named after its creator, Ball State University professor Nick Elam.[14] Upon the first dead ball (time-out, foul, violation) with up to 4 minutes remaining in the fourth period, the game clock is turned off (though the shot clock remains active). A target score is set at the current score of the leading team (or both teams if tied) plus 7 points, and the first team to reach or surpass the target wins.[15]
Ice hockey [ edit ]
Ties are common in ice hockey due to the game's low-scoring nature. If the score is tied at the end of regulation play, certain leagues play overtime.
NHL (regular season): If a game is tied after regulation time (three 20-minute periods), the teams play in a sudden death five-minute overtime period, with a goaltender and three skaters per side (as opposed to the standard five).[16] If regulation time ended while a power play was in progress, the team with the advantage will start overtime with more than three skaters (almost always four, very rarely five), and maintain its advantage for the duration of the penalty if no one scores. If nobody scores in the overtime period, the teams engage in a "penalty shootout" where three skaters, selected by the head coaches on the teams, go one-on-one against the opposing goaltender, taking the puck at center ice for a "penalty shot."[17] If the shootout remains tied after the initial three rounds, the shootout continues in a sudden-death fashion; no player may participate in a shootout twice unless the entire active roster (excluding the backup goaltender) has been exhausted.[17] The greatest number of shooters in a single shootout was 40 during a game between the Florida Panthers and Washington Capitals. Panthers player Nick Bjugstad gave Florida a 2–1 shootout and game victory on a trick move.
The 5-minute overtime period was introduced for regular season games beginning with the 1983–84 NHL season, but with teams at full strength on the ice.[18] Overtime in the regular season was reduced to four skaters a side starting in the 2000-2001 season.[18] The "shootout" was introduced for the 2005–06 NHL regular season.[18] Previously, ties during the regular season were allowed to stand if not resolved in overtime. Starting in the 2015–16 season, overtime was reduced to three skaters a side.
NHL (post-season): [19] Following an intermission, multiple full 20-minute periods are played. Teams remain at full strength unless this is affected by penalties during the third period. A goal ends the game in sudden death; if neither team scores, this procedure is repeated after the intermission. The teams change ends after each period. This has made for lengthy games in the history of the NHL playoffs, with some games going as far as five or six overtimes before the deciding goal is scored. [20]
Following an intermission, multiple full 20-minute periods are played. Teams remain at full strength unless this is affected by penalties during the third period. A goal ends the game in sudden death; if neither team scores, this procedure is repeated after the intermission. The teams change ends after each period. This has made for lengthy games in the history of the NHL playoffs, with some games going as far as five or six overtimes before the deciding goal is scored. NCAA (regular season): If a game is tied at the end of regulation, the teams play a sudden-death 5-minute overtime. Both teams play at full strength, unless affected by penalties. If neither team scores during overtime, the game ends in a tie.
NCAA (in-season tournaments): For tournaments held during the season (such as the Beanpot and Great Lakes Invitational), in which advancement or determination of a champion is necessary, organizers have the option of either using the post-season overtime procedure or using the regular-season procedure followed by a penalty shootout. Statistics from a shootout are not counted by the NCAA, and a game decided by a shootout is considered a tie for NCAA tournament selection purposes.
NCAA (post-season): Same as the NHL overtime procedure above, except that overtimes are played with the teams defending the ends of the ice that they would as if they were starting over, and repeat that pattern every three periods. Games decided in overtime are considered wins or losses rather than ties, regardless of how many overtimes are played.
International (round robin): As of the 2007 IIHF World Championship, the IIHF instituted the "three point rule", which not only awarded the winning team three points for a regulation win, but awarded them two points for a win in a 5-minute overtime period or a Game Winning Shot (shootout). Games in IIHF round robins can therefore no longer end in a tie. In the World Cup of Hockey in 2004, the NHL's tiebreaking procedure at the time was followed: there was a five-minute sudden death period at four skaters per side, and if the score remained tied after the overtime period, it stood as a tie. The game between Sweden and Finland ended in a 4–4 tie after 65 minutes. The 2016 World Cup of Hockey had the new NHL tiebreaking procedures: in round-robin play, 5-minute sudden death period with three skaters per side, plus best-of-3-round shootouts and extra rounds if needed.
International (medal rounds): Various tiebreaking procedures have been used for international tournaments, with all of them save one (World Cup of Hockey 2004) following a common theme: one period varying in length of sudden-death overtime followed by a shootout of five skaters (since 2010, 3) per side (as opposed to the NHL's three skaters per side originally; it also differs in that if the shootout does not resolve the tie, the same five skaters [now 3] then shoot again). The length of the overtime period has varied between 5, 10, and 20 minutes, and 5-on-5 and 4-on-4 formats have been used. The most recent format used was at the 2010 Olympics (particularly in the gold medal game); there were 20 minutes of 4-on-4 followed by a shootout. In 2006, it was 20 minutes of 5-on-5. All men's games ended in regulation during the medal rounds, while the women's semifinal between the United States and Sweden required a shootout to determine the winner. At the World Cup of Hockey in 2004, the NHL's postseason tiebreaking procedure was used (multiple 20-minute periods of 5-on-5 until a goal is scored). The only overtime game in the playoff round was the semifinal between the Czech Republic and Canada. Canada won 4–3 with a goal at 2:16 of overtime. The 2016 World Cup of Hockey had the same overtime procedure as the 2004 event.
Handball [ edit ]
When a tie needs to be broken in handball, two straight 5-minute overtimes are played. If the teams are still tied after that, this overtime procedure is repeated once more; a further draw will result in a penalty shootout.
Baseball and softball [ edit ]
Baseball and softball are unique among the popular North American team sports in that they do not use a game clock. However, if the regulation number of innings are complete (normally nine in baseball and seven in softball) and the score is even, extra innings are played to determine a winner. Complete innings are played, so if a team scores in the top half of the inning, the other team has the chance to play the bottom half of the inning; they will extend the game by tying the score again and win if they take the lead before their third out. The longest professional baseball game ever played, a 1981 minor league baseball game between the Pawtucket Red Sox and the Rochester Red Wings required 33 innings and over eight hours to complete. The Red Wings had scored in the top half of the 21st inning, but Pawtucket tied the game in the bottom half, extending the game.
Major League Baseball games normally end in a tie only if the game is called off due to weather conditions. In the early decades of baseball (up to the 1920s), a game could also be called off due to nightfall, but this ceased to be a problem once stadiums began installing lights in the 1930s. Two Major League Baseball All-Star Games have ended in a tie; the second 1961 game was called due to rain with the teams tied 1-1 after the ninth inning, and the 2002 game was called after the eleventh inning after both teams had exhausted their supply of pitchers.
The exceptions to this are in Nippon Professional Baseball, Chinese Professional Baseball League, and the Korea Baseball Organization, where the game cannot go beyond 12 innings (in Japan Series, first 7 games only; no such limit thereafter). During the 2011 season the NPB had a game time limit of 3½ hours during the regular season; ties are allowed to stand in the regular season and postseason ties are resolved in a full replay, extending a series if necessary. Extra innings are not played in KBO doubleheaders' first game.
In 2017, the Arizona League and Gulf Coast League served as testing grounds for the softball version of the World Baseball Softball Confederation extra inning rule that will automatically place a runner on second base to start an extra inning of play.[21]
Rugby league [ edit ]
Rugby league games in some competitions are decided using overtime systems if scores are level at full-time (80 minutes). One overtime system is golden point, where any score (try, penalty goal, or field goal) by a team immediately wins the game. This entails a five-minute period of golden point time, after which the teams switch ends and a second five-minute period begins. Depending on the game's status, a scoreless overtime period ends the game as a draw, otherwise play continues until a winner is found.
Rugby union [ edit ]
In the knockout stages of rugby competitions, most notably the Rugby World Cup, two full-length extra time periods of 10 minutes each are played (with an interval of 5 minutes in between) if the game is tied after full-time. If scores are level after 100 minutes, the rules call for a period of sudden-death extra time to be played. Originally, this sudden-death period was 20 minutes, but is now 10 minutes. If the sudden-death extra time period results in no scoring, standard World Rugby rules call for a kicking competition to be used to determine the winner. Domestic leagues may use other tiebreakers; for example, playoff games in the French professional leagues that are level at the end of extra time use a set of tiebreakers before going to a kicking competition, with the first tiebreaker being tries scored.
However, no match in the history of the Rugby World Cup has gone past 100 minutes into a sudden-death extra time period.
Rugby sevens [ edit ]
In the sevens variant of rugby union, extra time is used only in knockout stages of competitions, such as the World Rugby Sevens Series and Rugby World Cup Sevens. Extra time begins one minute after the end of full-time, and is played in multiple 5-minute periods. Unlike the 15-man game, extra time in sevens is true sudden-death, with the first score by either team winning the match. If neither team has scored at the end of a period, the teams change ends. This procedure is repeated until one team scores.
Other sports [ edit ]
Longest games [ edit ]
The longest total playing time in an AFL match is 140:49 (four quarters of 20 minutes playing time plus 60:49 of time on) in Round 3, 2016, between North Melbourne and Melbourne. A total of 41.21 (267) was kicked during the game, which North Melbourne won by five points. [25]
The longest total playing time in the three major leagues (AFL/VFL, SANFL, WAFL) is 141:34 (four quarters of 25 minutes playing time plus 41:34 time on) in Round 17, 1975 of the SANFL season between Glenelg and Central District. There was a three-minute delay during the last quarter after a crowd invasion when Glenelg full-forward Fred Phillis kicked his 100th goal for the season, and Glenelg kicked a record 49.23 (317). The score, the final margin of 238 points and the aggregate of 60.36 (396) are all records as of 2018.[26]
In the past, some football competitions also allowed successive extra times, before the use of penalty shootouts. The decision of the Campeonato Pernambucano de Futebol de 1977, which ended with the victory of Sport on Náutico during the fourth extra time of 15 minutes each, resulting in a game of 158 minutes duration.
The 1922 Final for the German Championship between Hamburger SV and 1.FC Nürnberg had to be broken off after 189 minutes at 2-2 because the coming dusk made play impossible. The rematch seven weeks later was also broken off in overtime at a standing of 1-1 due to Nürnberg being unable to field more than seven players (with the rules of the time substitutions were not allowed [28] ).
). The 1982 and 1985 NCAA Division I men's soccer finals both went to the 8th (10-minute) period of extra time before being decided, lasting into the 160th and 167th minutes respectively. [29] [30]
In Game 1 of the 1971 North American Soccer League playoffs semifinal (best of three series) between the Dallas Tornado and the Rochester Lancers, league scoring champion Carlos Metidieri of Rochester mercifully ended the match in the 6th overtime at the 176th minute, less than four minutes shy of playing two complete games. Seven days later in Game 3, the two teams also played a 4-OT, 148 minute match with Dallas winning this time. Incredibly, only four days after that, Dallas lost Game 1 of the NASL Championship Series in the 3rd OT to Atlanta in the 123rd minute. All totaled, Dallas played 537 minutes of football (3 minutes short of six games) in 13 days' time.[31]
Baseball [ edit ]
Basketball [ edit ]
Camogie [ edit ]
"Extra extra time" was played in the 2015 Ashbourne Cup final.[33]
Hurling [ edit ]
A semi-final of the 2014 Ulster Senior Hurling Championship went to 30 minutes of extra time. After Down and Derry finished level (3-23 to 4-20) after the usual 20 minutes (two periods of 10 minutes' duration) of extra time, it was agreed by both teams to play another ten minutes of extra time (two periods of 5 minutes). After this, the game was still tied: 3-28 to 5-22 after 100 minutes' play.[34]
Ice hockey [ edit ]
Lacrosse [ edit ]
Collegiate (NCAA Division I, men's) – 28 March 2009: The Virginia Cavaliers team played in the longest game in the history of NCAA Division I lacrosse—a 10–9 victory over the Maryland Terrapins in seven overtime periods.
Rugby league [ edit ]
The longest rugby league game at senior level is 104 minutes, during the 1997 Super League Tri-series final between NSW and QLD. Normal game time is 80 minutes, but with scores level a further 20 minutes was played. When the scores remained level after 100 minutes, golden point extra time was invoked, a Noel Goldthorpe field goal decided the game after 104 minutes.[39]
Tennis [ edit ]
The Isner–Mahut match at the 2010 Wimbledon Championships was a first round Men's Singles match, in which the American 23rd seed John Isner played French qualifier Nicolas Mahut. In total, the match took 11 hours, 5 minutes of play over three days, with a final score of 6–4, 3–6, 6–7(7), 7–6(3), 70–68 for a total of 183 games. It remains by far the longest match in tennis history, measured both by time and number of games. The final set alone was longer than the previous longest match.[40][better source needed]
The official longest tie-break on record, 50 points, came in the first round of Wimbledon in 1985 when Michael Mortensen and Jan Gunnarson defeated John Frawley and Victor Pecci 6-4, 6-4, 3-6, 7-6 (24). Of note is an even longer tie-break of 70 points, with Benjamin Balleret defeating Guillaume Couillard 7-6 (34), 6-1. The match, held in Plantation, FL in 2013, was only a qualifying match in a Futures event, the lowest level tournament in pro tennis. All matches in qualifying are played without any chair umpire or any lines people. Without any official scorecard, this record is not official.[41]
Since 2019, all 5th-set tibreakers for men's (3rd-set for women's) are broken using the "super tiebreaker", with the first to reach 10 points winning the match; this began with the Australian Open. If the tiebreaker game deciding the match is tied at 9–all, whoever scores two straight points wins. It wouldn't apply to the French Open.

An Illinois state lawmaker is proposing that gun owners be required to carry personal liability insurance of at least $1 million.
Rep. Kenneth Dunkin’s bill seeks to amend the state’s Firearm Owners Identification Card Act to provides that any person who owns a firearm in the state maintain a $1 million or higher policy of liability insurance “specifically covering any damages resulting from negligent or willful acts involving the use of such firearm while it is owned by such person.”
A gun owner would be responsible after a firearm is lost or stolen until the loss or theft is reported to the police department or sheriff of the jurisdiction in which the owner resides.
Police would be empowered to pull the gun license of anyone who does not submit evidence of having the required insurance.
The measure is now in the House Rules Committee. | positive |
Monday on his national syndicated radio show, while discussing San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick refusing to stand for the playing of the national anthem at a preseason football game and having said of the gesture, “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color,” host Mark Levin reacted by saying he didn’t want Kaepernick to stand and described him as “an insignificant fly.”
Levin said, “Nobody is forced to stay here. Nobody is forced to come here. People are being oppressed? Then why the hell do people come in this country from Africa, from Asia, from the Middle East, from Latin America? Why the hell do people come here from anywhere? Even more, why do people stay here with all this oppression that’s taking place? Because a dimwit with a 12 IQ, like this guy, can make $126 million in six years, based on one or two seasons, and he still sucks! When he doesn’t stand during the national anthem, it’s not because of social injustice or anything else. He’s spitting on the men and women who are in one hell hole or another all over this country, fighting for that flag and fighting for this nation — and every one of them that came before them. Every one of them.That’s why this is important. Not him. He’s unimportant.”
He added “I don’t want you to stand. I don’t want you to stand. You stay seated. You’re not allowed to stand. You stay seated, you jerk. You stay seated. That’s how you’ll honor this country, by getting out of the way and staying out of the way. You are an insignificant fly.”

The Hunt For The Elusive Running Back. - Bucs Life Skip to content September 24, 2022 Instagram Twitter Facebook Bucs Life Bringing You The Best News Primary Menu Home Players and Rumors Around the NFL Buccaneers From The Vault Buccateers Podcast Search for: Home 2019 January 30 The Hunt For The Elusive Running Back. Tampa Bay Buccaneers The Hunt For The Elusive Running Back. 3 min read 4 years ago Jay Garrison Aside from the many other needs, we certainly need on this football team, one position that many fans have been clamoring for since the Buccaneers season ended in December, is the running back. Three names have been popping up this offseason and the first is Leonard Fournette of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fournette has had some issues with the team, but is under contract until 2021. So, unless the Jags and Fournette cannot come to a compromise, it’s likely that he will remain a Jaguar for the foreseeable future. The next name that has been on the tip of virtually everyone’s tongue, is Le’Veon Bell. There is no doubt that there has been trouble in paradise when concerning Bell and the Steelers. Bell wants a long term contract, but the Steelers won’t commit other than to pay him a healthy one year salary of $15 million that comes along with a nifty franchise tag. Bell held out and is now seeking a long term deal from anyone anywhere. I believe Bell, who will be 27 in February, is a fine complement to any team in need of a successful running back, but can Tampa afford to pay him a long-term deal? Sure, I think it’s possible, and I would not mind it. Although, likely very expensive. and there had been rumors of Arians already having Bell on his mind. Unconfirmed, but fun to entertain. Enter Kareem Hunt. A dream scenario. Yes, he has the hotel incident along with two others; A Night club incident back in January of 2017, in which Hunt was allegedly involved in an altercation which a person was repeatedly hit, breaking a rib and a nose. Hunt was allegedly accompanied by two other individuals, one who was said to be with a former Chiefs running back George Atkins. The third incident allegedly occurred at Bay Lodging Resort, where Hunt allegedly punched a man during an argument. To my knowledge, no charges were filed in any of these alleged altercations. Hunt would be an asset for Tampa and could come cheap. But if Tampa were to throw their hat into the ring for Hunt, they would already have the understanding that Hunt may not play for up to SIX WEEKS, possibly more. Of course, the decision on how long of a suspension would be decided by Darth Goodell, and according to Ian Rapoport’s recent Tweet, “Commissioner Roger Goodell says the Kareem Hunt investigation should conclude “soon” and that he’ll go back on the exempt list whenever he signed, as he awaits likely suspension. … on Reuben Foster, he said just because his charge was dropped doesn’t mean he won’t be suspended.” Hunt is on the *NFL’s Reserve/Commissioner Exempt List and is likely to be suspended in the near future, however, Ian Rapoport, recently stated on the Ronnie and TKras Show on WDAE that, “I would expect teams like the Bucs with big-time running back needs and the propensity to make a splash in free agency to be linked to him,” Rapoport said. “These decisions to bring a guy like Kareem Hunt in are made by the owner. That’s where it comes down to it, do the Glazers say: ‘We are okay having this guy in the building, given what he has basically been proven to have done.’” – Via Pewter Report.Com *The Exempt List is a special player status available to clubs only in unusual circumstances. The List includes those players who have been declared by the Commissioner to be temporarily exempt from counting within the Active List limit. Only the Commissioner has the authority to place a player on the Exempt List; clubs have no such authority, and no exemption, regardless of circumstances, is automatic. The Commissioner also has the authority to determine in advance whether a player’s time on the Exempt List will be finite or will continue until the Commissioner deems the exemption should be lifted and the player returned to the Active List.

NO GIRLS ALLOWED
The University of Iowa is no fan of Girls. The hit HBO show wrapped its third season this week with a storyline in which the lead character of Hannah, played by series co-creator and star Lena Dunham, was accepted into the University of Iowa's writer's workshop program. According to a report in The Iowa Press-Citizen, HBO recently requested permission to shoot episodes at the campus but were promptly turned down by university administration. Said UI spokesman Tom Moore: "Our general practice is to not allow filming, due to potential disruption to campus." No word yet on whether Girls will seek out an alternate shooting location.

WRAPUP
The third season of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo closed with a possum and a proposal. Most of the on-screen activity in the finale took place at the Tallapoosa Possum Drop, a real-life event in Tallapoosa, Tenn., where the TLC reality series is filmed. Taking place in late December, the annual event includes such activities as bobbing for hot dogs in vats of eggnog and sledding down a hill with man-made snow. The highlight of the season-ender occurred when local teen Michael asked the couple Mama June and Sugar Bear for the hand of their teen daughter Anna in marriage (Michael and Anna already have a baby daughter together). Mama June and Sugar Bear approved, and Anna said, "Michael's gonna make a good first husband."

PRESSURE DROP
Selena Gomez has opened up about the personal issues that lead to her recent trip to rehab. The 21-year-old singer-actress appeared at a We Day conference in Oakland, Calif., this week and told fans, "I'm surrounded by people who are supposed to guide me and some of them have and others haven't. They pressure me – you gotta be sexy, you gotta be cute, you gotta be nice, you gotta be all these things." Last January, Gomez spent two weeks at an Arizona treatment centre that specializes in treating addiction and trauma in young people. Gomez closed off her We Day speech by saying, "I hope I can inspire each and every one of you to just trust yourselves and to love and be loved … Be proud of yourself."

Is Zac Efron headed back down the dark road again toward drug addiction? The former High School Musical star, who reportedly spent two stints in rehab last year for cocaine addiction, made headlines this week when he was attacked in a low-rent neighbourhood in downtown Los Angeles. Efron told police that he and a bodyguard were in the area in search of a sushi restaurant when their car ran out of gas and they were attacked by transients. The TMZ report says the bodyguard was stabbed in the face, chest and stomach and Efron was punched in the face. A source told TMZ: "Zac's a loner. He goes out rarely and the idea of him driving for miles to go to some sushi restaurant in downtown L.A. after midnight is preposterous."

Being arrested for drunk driving launched the comedy career of Chelsea Handler. The Chelsea Lately host provided details of her 1996 arrest for driving under the influence to CNN this week. Following a short stint in L.A. County jail, Handler was forced to attend drinking education classes that required participants to tell their stories. And when Handler's turn came up, she had them rolling in the aisles. "The teacher for that DUI class said, 'Listen, this isn't a stand-up comedy club'," said Handler.

'National Geographic' tracks down Afghan girl By Gregg Zoroya, USA TODAY Steve McCurry, National Geographic/AP Sharbat Gula captivated readers in 1985, left. In 2002, right, she still has the penetrating gaze. Gula's story Read more about Gula at nationalgeographic.com The beautiful and previously anonymous Afghan girl featured in one of the last century's most enduring portrait photographs and what became National Geographic magazine's most famous cover image has been found living in a remote area of eastern Afghanistan. She's weathered and aged from a life of poverty but still has the same haunting green eyes. The award-winning photographer who took her picture during a five-minute session in a Pakistan refugee camp in 1984, Steve McCurry, led a team from National Geographic that tracked her down in January. The magazine announced the discovery Tuesday and identified her as Sharbat Gula, perhaps 29 or 30 years old today she isn't sure of her age the mother of three girls and the wife of a baker. "The instant I saw her I knew that this was the Afghan girl," McCurry says. "Her eyes still have that penetrating sort of look, that kind of intensity." Her life over the years has been marred by the death of a child, the loss of her parents during the Afghan war with the Soviet Union and poverty. "I wouldn't characterize her as having lived a happy life," McCurry says. It was news to Sharbat Gula that the photograph taken years before had been so widely distributed and elicited such an overwhelming response, McCurry says. "I don't think a day has gone by in the last 17 years that I haven't gotten some kind of a letter or e-mail or a phone call request, people wanting to send her money and people wanting to adopt her, letters from men wanting to find her and marry her," he says. "It's certainly the most memorable image that we have ever published," says William Allen, editor in chief of National Geographic, which has a circulation of nearly 10 million. "I have been asked hundreds of times, whatever happened to that girl, the one with the green eyes?" Originally shot for an article about life along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, the photo has been compared in iconic significance with such other famous 20th-century images as the Iwo Jima flag-raising photograph of World War II by Joe Rosenthal; the fatal shooting of Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald captured on film by Dallas Times Herald photographer Bob Jackson; and W. Eugene Smith's picture of a child crippled by industrial poisoning being bathed by her mother in Japan. David Schonauer, editor in chief of American Photo magazine, says the brilliance of the Afghan girl lies in how it is essentially a glamour image of a refugee child what seems a contradiction. Added to this, he says, is the girl's inexplicable expression. "It's a little bit like the Mona Lisa," Schonauer says. "You don't really know what she's thinking; is she scared, is she fierce, is she bewildered, is she ambivalent, is she confident about her beauty? You can look at it and get a different feeling about it every time. A picture has got to have something like that if it's going to last." McCurry, 51, a freelance photographer who owns the rights to the photo, says that because he didn't have an interpreter on the day the photo was taken, he never got the girl's name. It wasn't until he was back in Washington, D.C., developing the film that he fully realized its unusual significance. "It was one of those incredible, amazing moments in photography where everything comes together," he says. But he was never able to find her again. He mounted a concerted effort in January when the refugee camp in Pakistan where she was originally photographed, and where leads on her whereabouts might still exist, was slated to be razed. He tracked a number of leads, all of them fruitless, until an intermediary finally arranged a meeting with Sharbat Gula. McCurry says that the woman, who is a conservative Pashtun, sought her husband's permission to lift the veil of her burqa in order to show her face for photographs to be taken. Later, sophisticated iris recognition tools and FBI facial identification techniques were used on the photographs of her then and now to verify they had the right woman. He and the magazine are keeping the woman's exact whereabouts a secret, saying this is what she and her husband requested. She was found somewhere between Jalalabad, Afghanistan, and the Pakistani border city of Peshawar. They are also working with the family to see how they might somehow benefit, financially or otherwise, from the global success of her image. "We're in the process of talking about how we can do that," McCurry says. The story will be featured in the April issue of National Geographic, which subscribers receive this week and hits newstands April 1. It will also be detailed in a one-hour National Geographic EXPLORER documentary airing Friday at 9 p.m. ET on MSNBC. The National Geographic Society is creating "Afghan Girls Fund" in response to the discovery, raising money for the education of Afghan girls. | positive |

Update: Michigan AG Bill Schuette: State employees ignored warning flags in Flint
FLINT — Six state employees were criminally charged this morning in district court in connection with the Flint water crisis.
Charged are Michigan Department of Health and Human Services workers Nancy Peeler, Corinne Miller and Robert Scott, and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality employees Liane Shekter-Smith; Adam Rosenthal and Patrick Cook, according to testimony this morning in Flint’s district court.

Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette and Todd Flood, the Royal Oak attorney heading the AG's investigation, discussed the charges at an 11:30 a.m. news conference at U-M Flint.
"Some people failed to act, others minimized harm done and arrogantly chose to ignore data, some intentionally altered figures ... and covered up significant health risks," he said.
In April, Schuette announced felony charges against two Michigan Department of Environmental Quality officials and one City of Flint official. At that time, he promised more criminal charges would be forthcoming.
Watch the press conference:
The city employee, Mike Glasgow, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor and is cooperating with the investigation as other charges were dropped. The two DEQ employees, Stephen Busch and Mike Prysby, are awaiting preliminary examinations.
He later brought a civil lawsuit against engineering and consulting firms who had consulted on the Flint Water Treatment Plant.
The civil lawsuit, filed in Flint in Genesee County Circuit Court, accuses engineering firm Lockwood, Andrews & Newnam and environmental consultant Veolia North America, plus related companies, of causing "the Flint Water Crisis to occur, continue and worsen." Both companies have denied any wrongdoing and vowed to fight the lawsuit.

Flint's drinking water became contaminated in lead in April 2014 after the city, while under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager, switched from treated water supplied from Detroit to raw water from the Flint River, which was treated at the Flint Water Treatment Plant.
DEQ officials have acknowledged a mistake in failing to require corrosion control chemicals to be added to the water. As a result, lead leached from pipes, joints and fixtures into Flint households and harmful lead levels spiked in Flint children.

Are you looking to build a new house in Auburn? We at HouseIdea are ecstatic for you! Building a home is a life-changing experience, and there are so many incredible options available. But working with an expert pays off as well. Otherwise, you'll rapidly find yourself much over budget. Fortunately, you're in good hands when you work with the experts at HouseIdea. If you're considering new house construction in Auburn, there are a few things to consider. Consider the following scenario: Prioritize Quality Over Quantity The number of homes created under your contract should not be your first goal. The quality of their job should be an essential factor. When it comes to assessing a home builder's potential, quality is crucial. Make sure the new construction contractor you hire is experienced in working within a budget but isn't prepared to scrimp on quality to save money. The same can be said about their workplace's safety. Investigate their previous work, contact former clients with whom they've worked, and inquire about how they handled each stage of the project. Thankfully, we engage with the most in-demand designers at our design-build firm, and we try to get all essential licenses and permits before construction starts, so you'll have one less reason to be concerned about. Experience Matters When meeting or researching custom house builders or new construction contractors, the first thing you should look at is their experience. If you have special needs for your home, it's best to hire a home builder who has done similar work before. Most, if not all, new construction companies and home builders have a website where you can check out their previous work and see if it's up to grade. Experienced home builders can assist you in determining what you want from your home and provide excellent advice. It will also be easy to trust them with the construction of your home, which is a significant milestone in anyone's life. We only work with the best: highly trained, experienced craftsmen and artisans, so you can benefit from having knowledgeable specialists on your side who can guide you through the entire process of designing and building your home. Keep In Mind What You'll Need In The Future When designing your new construction home, it's tempting to plan everything to meet your current life and lifestyle. For example, you might get married or have children in the future, and if that's the case, you don't want to skimp on the number of bedrooms, kitchen, or bath space! How Long Does New Home Construction in Auburn Take? Purchasing a pre-made home versus building a new home in Auburn is a time-consuming procedure. To guarantee that everything works the way you want it to, a lot of work is required, including blueprinting, brainstorming, and collaborating with specialists. Because custom house construction is our expertise, we are pretty familiar with the process. We're here to assist you at every step, whether you're seeking new construction for your growing family or want to custom design a house with all the exquisite elements that make it distinctly yours. But, if you require immediate housing, new house construction may not be the best option. In general, we aim to finish your new house construction in Auburn in 6 to 12 months. Of course, several circumstances can have an impact on this timeline. These factors include the facilities you wish to include, as well as the size of your home. Assuring That the Job Is Completed Correctly We take great care in building each new construction house as if it were our own, which is one of the reasons why our new home construction is so successful.

According to legend, a teenage girl named the town after the opening line of Oliver Goldsmith's book "The Deserted Settlement," which reads "Sweet Auburn the prettiest village on the plain." Auburn has been the center of Auburn University. Nowadays, the city is governed by a mayor-council system. The current Auburn was inside of Creek jurisdiction until 1832, when tribe officials signed the Treaty of Cusseta, ceding this to the U. S. Following the Second Creek War, President Andrew Jackson ordered the remaining Creeks to be relocated from east Alabama, such as the Auburn region, in 1836. In the same year, John J. Harper, a Methodist from western part Georgia, traveled to Alabama and established Auburn; he may have just selected the location in detail since it was near the intended path of both the Montgomery and West Point Railway. Various civil works investments made by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal were implemented in Auburn during the Great Depression. In Chewacla State Park, the Civilian Conservation Corps cleaned paths, built structures, and created a lake. Furthermore, the Public Works Administration supported API campus development projects such as the president's mansion, four female's dorms, teaching facilities, and the football pitches. Auburn, CA, grew dramatically in the decades after World War II. From 1940 to 1970, the town's population increased from less than 5,000 to even more than 22,000, while its area roughly tripled. The community grew substantially due to significant expansions in the percentage of students, teachers, and staff at API, established after Auburn University was established in 1960. Auburn's industrial job base has grown throughout the 21st century. Manufacturing businesses account for six of Auburn's top 10 industries, and around 9 percent of Auburn inhabitants work in the private sector. Manufacturers of motors and generators, automobile parts, polymers, and domestic cabinetry are among such companies. Auburn, CA, has a population density of 62,318 as per 2016 Census projections. 72.2 percent of those polled registered as white, 17.7 percent as Black Americans, 7.0 percent as Asians, 5.0 percent as Hispanics, 1.2 percent as mixed race, and 0.1 percent as American Indian. The median family income in the municipality was $38,912, while the per average spending was $25,746.

Expressway 85/US Highway 29, which extends to northeast-southwest, Interstate Freeways 14, which extends to east-west, State Highway 147, which goes north, and U.S. Highway 280, which goes to the northwest just north of the airport, are the principal highways servicing the city of Auburn. Chewacla State Park, the Donald E. Davis Arboretum on the Auburn University campus, and the Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve, run by the university's School of Forestry and Wildlife Sciences, are just a few of the outdoor leisure options available in Auburn.

Quick Start Guide – Knowledge Base Submit a request Sign in Knowledge Base Follow Quick Start Guide July 02, 2020 11:08 Knowledge Base FAQ In this Quick Start Guide we will go through the entire process of testing candidates. We will walk through: Step 1: Creating a project Step 2: Inviting candidates to the project Step 3: Viewing results Step 4: Buying credits Step 5 (optional): Review your account settings Step 1: Create a new project 1 (a) Click Projects > Create in the left-hand menu bar 1 (b) Define your project by completing the following fields: Project Name is anything you like, for example "Tests for Area Manager". Bear in mind that candidates will see the names of your projects. Description (optional) This is useful to describe what the project is, for example you could put "One numerical test and one verbal test for the position of Manager." This description will be visible to candidates. You can enter something or leave this blank. Email Reports To Me Tick the box and use this if you want candidates' results to be automatically emailed to someone when each candidate completes the project. Separate multiple email addresses with a comma like this: [email protected], [email protected] Candidate Can See Their Reports If you tick this box candidates will be able to see a summary version of their results report. The 'Pause Project' box should only be ticked if you want the project to be inactive or on hold. Most people leave this box unticked. Only tick this box to deactivate your project. Now choose the assessments that candidates will have to take. Once you've selected the Type of test you can then select the specific Test within that category. Finally chose the Norm group you would like to compare your candidates' results against. Norm groups are just who your candidates' scores are compared against.

There are three different ways to add candidates to your project: - Manually type their details (most common for small projects); or - Send an invite link using an project Access Key; or - Upload a bulk CSV file In this Quick Start Guide we will follow the first method as this is what most clients prefer to do. If you have large volumes of candidates you may prefer to follow one of the other two methods (create project Access Key or bulk CSV upload). 2 (a) Click Candidates > Create in the left-hand menu bar 2(b) Complete the following fields: Project, First Name, Last Name, Email. The Email field is where we will send the candidate's login details (username and password) so you can put your own email address if you want to receive the login details, or put the candidate's email address if you want our system to send an email direct to the candidate. Click 'Send Now' and our system will automatically send an email to the email address you have entered as the candidate's email address. You will see a preview of the message before it is sent, which you can edit if you like. To edit the email template go to Projects > List > Email Templates. The candidate will now receive an email which looks a bit like this: That's it! Your candidate has now been added to your project and they can start their test by clicking the link in the email they have just received. Now you just wait for the candidate to finish their test. As soon as they finish, their results will automatically appear in the 'Results' section of your account. Note: credits are required to start a test. If you run out of credits candidates will still be able to complete their assessments but the system will not let you see any of the results until your credit balance is above zero. You can top-up your credits at any time. Step 3: Download candidates' results As soon as a candidate has completed any of your projects you can view their results and download PDF reports. If when setting up the project you chose to have reports emailed to you these will arrive in your inbox automatically. If you want to see and download the reports on the system here is how: 3 (a) Click Results > List in the left-hand menu bar. If your credit balance is above 0 you will see a list of all the complete and incomplete assessments you are running. If there is nothing in this list then none of your candidates have been added to any of your projects yet. 3 (b) Click the download icon next to the report you want to download. The most important part of the report is the candidate's percentile score within the norm group. If you need any help interpreting the report have a look at this support article or ask us. You can also export all your candidates' results to a CSV file by going to Results > List > Export. This is a good way to perform bulk calculations and decisions using Excel. Step 4: Buying credits You may have bought an unlimited licence from us, in which case your credit balance will show 'unlimited'. If you don't have an unlimited licence you can buy more credits any time. If your balance falls below zero credits, your Results page will deactivate and Projects which have been set to automatically email you the reports will stop sending you the reports. So it's a good idea to keep your credit balance positive. Don't worry if your credit balance does fall below zero; your tests will still remain open and this won't affect your candidates in any way. All that happens is you won't be able to see the results. To buy more credits, click the the Account button at the top-right then Buy Credits. Your credit balance is updated instantly and we will email you with a full VAT receipt. Step 5 (optional): Review your account settings There are a couple of settings you should review, most importantly Data Retention settings. By default all candidate date is anonymised after 24 months. If you'd like to change this period go to Account > My Account Edit Client Details Scroll down to Data Retention Period > type number of months > Save Don't forget to save! You can also upload your logo if you like. This will appear on the assessment pages for your candidates and the PDF reports. Still in the Edit Client Details section, click Upload Logo. And click Save and finally... These are the basics to get you started, but our platform can do a lot more so feel free to explore and read through the other articles in this online knowledge base.

Submission Underground is back in Portland on Sunday, January 29th for SUG3. Chael Sonnen’s Submission Underground grappling series has been nothing short of a massive success. The first two events featured some of the best jiu jitsu practitioners and mixed martial artists on the planet. For the promotion’s third installment, Sonnen and crew have again pulled out all the stops. This card is sure to excite MMA fans and jiu jitsu nerds alike as it features multiple jiu jitsu world champions, two former UFC title challengers, and even a former Olympic judoka. In total, this event is tentatively scheduled to feature 18 matches. This card will air live on FloGrappling.com. The complete main card is listed below.
Dillon Danis vs AJ Agazarm
Jeff Glover vs Chad Mendes
Gordon Ryan vs Joe Baize
Hector Lombard vs Garry Tonon
Jeff Monson vs Ronny Markes
***As always, card is subject to change
Are you not yet sold on this card? Are you an MMA fan who appreciates jiu jitsu and just wants to see some of the best competitors in the world do the damn thing? Are you still not sure who some of these guys are? Well allow me to help you out.
Who You’ll Want to Know
Dillon Danis – Danis is a hot name at the moment. He recently garnered national attention when Conor McGregor inquired about his services as a jiu jitsu instructor prior to his second fight with Nate Diaz. With the McGregor seal of approval, Danis has quickly become known as, “Conor McGregor’s jiu jitsu coach” to some MMA fans. That isn’t the worst distinction in the world but far from why you should care about the Marcelo Garcia black belt. 2014 was truly a breakout year for him on the jiu jitsu circuit. He won the Pan American Championship (brown belt), Abu Dhabi World Pro Championship (brown), and World Championship (brown). His competition as a black belt is not as highly decorated just yet but he did win the Pan American No Gi Championship in two separate divisions in 2016. Having momentum on his side and riding a wave of popularity Danis is certainly someone to watch at SUG3.
AJ Agazarm – Agazarm is a prolific jiu jitsu competitor. His championships and competition wins are staggering. With over 80 career competition wins, he has finished nearly half of all his opponents by submission. He is a very well rounded competitor and is a former division 1 collegiate wrestler. His takedowns and scrambles are highly regarded and his control techniques (thanks to his wrestling prowess) have given him a decided edge in many of his matches. He is a beloved member of the Gracie Barra family and is a black belt under Eduardo De Lima and Carlos Gracie Junior. With a wealth of experience it is clear why he was asked to headline this card with Danis.
Joe Biaze – Here’s the thing about Joe Biaze. If you know who he is and you are about to have a match him you know that your legs are in danger. Biaze is one of those people who just have a gift for finding the leg-lock. Just ask his SUG2 opponent, Shaun Kiatvongcharoen, who was submitted by him in just 34 seconds in their meeting. If you need more assurance, as a mixed martial artist, he has 7 of his 11 career wins coming by leg-lock as well. With a specialist like him on the card, it will make for an intense match, as everyone in the room will know what to be watching for. Biaze may not be the most decorated guy in the room but he is certainly one of the most dangerous.
Garry Tonon – For fans of jiu jitsu, Tonon is a name people love to talk about and rightfully so. He is a black belt under highly regarded coaches, Tom DeBlass and Ricardo Almeida. Tonon is a no gi jiu jitsu specialist and is a multiple time no gi world champion. Additionally, Tonon has won the Eddie Bravo Invitational (EBI) three years in a row and in 2015 he won the event in two separate divisions. His experience at EBI events plays heavily in his favor as SUG uses a modified version of the EBI rules. He has won over 75% of all tournament matches he has competed in and has only been submitted twice in competition throughout his career. Tonon will be a welcomed addition to the night’s matches and is my pick for top athlete to watch at this event. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was asked back to headline SUG4.
What You’ll Want to Watch For
Finishes – The format of SUG has proven to promote the finish. In the first two events, 24 of the 32 matches ended in a submission. That is 75% of all matches being finished. Paying close attention is recommended as these submission experts can finish a fight at a moment’s notice.
The Return of Chad Mendes – Chad Mendes has been absent from major competition since his loss to Frankie Edgar in December of 2015. Shortly thereafter, Mendes was handed a two-year suspension for taking a banded substance. He will not be eligible to fight professionally until June of 2018. That being said, he is surely inching for competition. As a lifetime athlete and two-time division 1 NCAA All-American, the transition to mixed martial arts was a smooth one for Mendes. His success led him to fight for UFC gold on two occasions. Inside the cage, he is known as a wrestler with great punching power but an often-overlooked aspect of his game is his jiu jitsu. While he is certainly more of a wrestling based grappler, his attack on the neck is devastating. He has a powerful grip and if he can find a position to lock up a guillotine, he can finish just about anyone. It will be interesting to see how Mendes looks physically and just how comfortable he looks inside the cage. | positive |
The Day That Pediatricians Quit – Some Thoughts are Better Left Unsaid Skip to content Search Search for: Some Thoughts are Better Left Unsaid Menu Contact About Me Health Doctoring Parenting Culture San Francisco Mom’s Blog Open Search The Day That Pediatricians Quit Once upon a time, there was a land where parents were anxious, information was pervasive, and trust was hard to come by. Misinformed celebrities with impressive influence (despite minimal education) were spouting ideas that provided concrete solutions to poorly understood situations, and parents were clinging to them as if their (child’s) life depended upon it. Pediatricians everywhere were scratching their heads, wondering, what has happened? Why are our patients doubting us? We are not the enemy. The enemy is Dr. Google, social media, the ability for ill-informed people to spread their misplaced agendas by feeding on parents’ fears; incentivized by the number of Facebook likes and shares. We found ourselves exasperated and powerless against this Dr. Google, who had access to all information, but no reputable filter to weed out what was useful, scientific data versus that which was was inflammatory and unproven. Every time a parent presented us with an article from a doula’s blog citing “evidence” of the toxins in vaccines or a link to Autism, we would smile tight-lipped, hold their hand, and review the proven evidence-based data stating these claims were actually false. Then we would bang our heads against the wall during our lunch break knowing our own research articles would likely end up in the trash. We were reciting mantras like “the flu vaccine does not cause the flu” in our dreams to the point where our spouses threatened to smother us in our sleep. We mocked Jenny McCarthy for her ill-conceived ideas about Autism while crying at night for our infant patient – too young for vaccines – who died after contracting whooping cough or measles from an unvaccinated child at the local amusement park. We would make jokes about Dr. Google, a feeble attempt at lightheartedness while spending our precious free weekends visiting our immunocompromised patients in the PICU fighting for their lives after catching influenza from an unvaccinated peer at school. We high-fived when California passed a law stating students could no longer use “religious” reasons as an excuse not to be vaccinated, and were shocked when friends actually moved out of the state because of this. When we noticed this indisputable trend of kids falling ill and even dying unnecessarily due to the inconceivable influence of Dr. Google and these ignorant celebrities, pediatricians everywhere got angry. How can people ignore what is happening here? And to be honest, our feelings were hurt. We have nothing but our patients’ best interests at heart; why are people continuing to doubt us? Fed up, we spent countless hours wondering, “Why are our voices falling on deaf ears?” And then one day, just like that, Pediatricians everywhere were silent. Because they all decided to quit. And here’s what happened: Pediatricians had a full night’s sleep. No more pages, no more on-call texts, no sleepless nights worrying about patients. Pediatricians spent time with their families, exercised and read a book. Pediatricians saw their own primary care doctors and had their teeth cleaned. And pediatricians missed their patients. Terribly. Because patient care is the most appealing part of our job. It’s why we do what we do. To see a child healthy again, fight off a cold, prevent an illness, catch something early, support and reassure a parent. Watching your children grow from little babies to almost-adults, heading off to college and into the world, this is why we do our job. We are not the enemy. Meanwhile, our true foe – Dr. Google and social media – spread misinformation like wildfire, confusing well-intended parents and placing doubt in their minds. Don’t trust your doctor, trust me. I have all the information you need. Home schools popped up around the country to avoid the vaccination laws. The rates of influenza, measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis and influenza soared to all-time highs. Kids fell ill, parents frightened. They felt lost, uncertain where to turn. Dr. Google was not returning their phone calls at night, advising on how to manage that fever or reassuring them that their child did not need antibiotics. He didn’t present you with objective, scientifically-backed information to help guide your decisions. He didn’t do a thorough exam of your child to help determine the cause of their pain, the best treatment approach for their stomach ache or sore throat. He didn’t sit with you in moments of sadness or pain. He didn’t help you decide, together, what is the best treatment option for your individual child. So the next time you have questions, doubts or fears, don’t turn to Dr. Google. Ask your pediatrician. That’s why we are here, to help your child stay healthy, as best we can. Trust us when we say that not only do we bring thousands of hours of knowledge and experience to the table, but we also care, deeply, about each and every one of your children. This is not a battle; it’s not about taking sides. It’s about our kids’ health. And trust us, that is our number one priority.

They will say the author of this is part of the problem, that they are being brainwashed or duped with incorrect information or even worse a part of the conspiracy.

In 2015 the flu vaccine was only 11% effective, yet you were still forcing people to take this. You promote 33 vaccinations for infants, up from about 11 and some of you do not even question any of this. Parents cannot trust the science and research because of this corruption driven by greed and they are showing their outrage by looking for alternatives. Some MDs are afraid to push bak because they are being threatened with loosing there medical license for non compliance to the status quo. The public, want to trust you and partner with you, but they don’t see you standing up for their medical interest. Just sharing the reason they turn to Dr Google in th first place.

Maybe a better bedside manner and trying to understand why people are doubting MD’s will help pediatritians to have the empathy they feel for the children for the parents as well. You get nowhere by treating people as if you are better and smarter than them. LikeLike Audrey says: November 21, 2016 at 11:41 am Vaccines are not highly profitable. We don’t make money spending extra time with people showing them the evidence. If a child gets hospitalized with pneumonia because they had the flu and the flu led to pneumonia, THAT is when the pharmaceutical companies make a lot of money…IV antibiotics, IV fluid, oxygen…Thee flu vaccine is more effective than 11%.

LikeLiked by 1 person Reply rfestag says: September 24, 2016 at 1:33 am To be fair, influenza mutates very quickly, which is why the vaccine has to be modified each year (to target the predicted most common strains). In 2015, their predictions were wrong. In general though, it is closer to 50-60% effective. That is also why it is so important for everyone to get the vaccine. If 85-95% of the population received the vaccine, you would effectively achieve herd immunity (meaning those who can’t receive the vaccine are protected because it is so much harder for it to spread) Also, while children are vaccinated against more diseases now, they are actually exposed to fewer antigens (samples of the actual bug you are training your immune system against) than we were even in the 1980s, and with fewer preservatives (which you could react to). This means we are being more efficient than before (vaccinating against more with lower risk). I’m not saying there isn’t bad science out there (the guy linking vaccines to autism is actually a fantastic example of that), and it is hard to find ground truth with so many contradictory explanations and agendas. But your pediatrician is more likely to understand the research and what it means than you are. LikeLiked by 1 person Reply amberanastasi says: September 24, 2016 at 4:06 am Great article.

They only received their knowledge from proven sources and real life experiences, while anyone can write anything they want on the internet. And if you’re going to reference literature to try to demonstrate your intelligence, be sure to get the name of the main character right (John Galt).

LikeLike Reply Pingback: The Day The Pediatricians Quit | rbV3.com Dr. K says: October 6, 2017 at 2:55 am Listening to many doctors who have done a 180 on vaccines leads me to believe they are not safe or effective. Several pediatricians confessed they spent about half a day learning about the vaccine schedule and never discussed the vaccine ingredients like aluminum, Mercury, formaldehyde , etc. when in med school. the lack of reporting adverse reactions to Vaers and the frequent stories of pediatricians ” blowing them off” when the child screamed for several days after the shots, leads me to believe the science is hardly resolved. Even the vaccine inserts list possible side effects like autism, allergies, and SIDS. Do any of you pediatricians know what is in the vaccines? And when you are injecting many times the safe level of mercury(flu shot) or aluminum into a small child do you really understand the pathways to the brain? If the industry has to resort to forced vaccinations not only does it violates civil rights and informed consent, but it makes one wonder why people have to be forced to accept a vaccine? If it is so effective they would clamor for it. When the US Supreme Court declares them ” unavoidably unsafe” it makes any intelligent parent go ” Hmmmmm… So get out of the ivory tower and do some objective research. I have and I wont vaccinate my kid and I tell my patients some of the facts and then go “do your research” When you do you will find that many of the infectious diseases were on the decline long before mass vaccination came into vogue. Even ones that have no vaccine like Scarlett fever or scurvy. It’s hard to pass up the bc/bs $400 bonuses isn’t it.?

You may have seen recent media reports that wombats are under threat from a mysterious killer disease. That disease is sarcoptic mange, and while it affects the two wombat species that are not in immediate danger of extinction, it threatens to wipe out local populations.
Of the three wombat species, the northern hairy-nosed wombat is in the most precarious position overall – it is officially listed as critically endangered, with only about 200 individuals left. The other two, the southern hairy-nosed wombat and bare-nosed wombat, are both listed as of “least concern”, although all wombats have been affected by threats associated with the advent of European settlement.
Although the southern hairy-nosed and bare-nosed wombats are not in danger of extinction, both are under threat from sarcoptic mange, and some local populations are at risk of dying out.
Mange is a severely debilitating disease that affects a range of different mammals. It is caused by an infestation of mites, which burrow into the skin, causing severe itching, abnormal thickening of the skin, and loss of fur.
Usually the first sign of wombat mange is hair loss and thickened skin on the head, then progression to thickened crusty skin on the shoulders, flanks and limbs. Often the wombat will become deaf and blind due to thickening of the skin in and around its ears and eyes. Over the following months, the disease progresses to the point where all of the wombat’s skin is severely thickened, and eventually death occurs.
Tackling mange
Some wildlife groups have begun treating wombats with anti-parasitic treatments, with varying success. This typically involves invasive techniques (physically capturing the wombats and administering an injection), or administering “pour-on” products using treatment flaps. Both these techniques are very labour-intensive, as wombats require several treatments over a period of weeks or even months.
In addition, wombats can use several different burrows in a night, and some burrows are used by different wombats at different times, which makes it difficult to ensure that only the affected wombat is treated. And of course, these treatments are only possible in areas where wombats can be accessed by humans – treatment in remote areas is virtually impossible.
In the longer term, some of these treatments are likely to lead to resistance in the mites, further endangering the wombat populations. Both techniques may also raise the wombats’ stress levels over time, which can hamper their ability to maintain immunity against other parasites and diseases.
A national wombat strategy
We therefore need to develop a nationwide management strategy to ensure the long-term survival of wombats, an iconic Australian marsupial that through its burrowing activities also helps to create valuable habitat for a host of other animals.
To develop this strategy, we first need to understand how big the sarcoptic mange problem really is. Field research to assess the levels of mange in the populations is limited by the large distribution area of wombats throughout parts of southern and eastern Australia. However, in combination with data currently being collected from citizen-scientists using an online system called WomSAT, much more information can be gained.
WomSAT allows anyone to log sightings of wombats (dead or alive, and if alive their level of mange) and wombat burrows. Together, field research and citizen-science information can be used to determine the distribution and severity of mange, and to identify other threats to wombats throughout Australia.
Second, we need to learn more about why wombats are so badly affected by mange, and why their immune system fails to fight the parasites. Unbelievably, little is currently known about the wombat immune system, most probably because of a lack of funding and research on wombats in general – especially when compared with other quintessentially Australian animals such as koalas and kangaroos.
It is clear that more is needed to ensure the survival of a truly unique Australian animal, as part of the wider effort to preserve Australia’s biodiversity.

Records of the administrative unitsresponsible for the management of the General Files records center and its subsequent iterations are not included in this fonds except so far as these records were filed in Central Files. The date range of the Central Files is primarily from 1946 to 1986, however there are a small number of externally produced records dating from 1937 and the early 1940s as well as a single file dating 1987. The remainder of the 1987 files were likely handed over to the functional departments after the closure of the NRICin July 1987. The departments whose records were centralized over time and represented most prominently in Central Files include (but are not limited to): Economics, Development Services, Technical Operations, Projects (and its sector divisions), and Administration. Correspondence contained in the fonds includes letters, memoranda, cables, and other related records sent to and from the above departments and the Office of the President during the presidencies of Meyer, McCloy, Black and Woods. President records are otherwise nonexistent in the case of Meyer and are sparse for Woods, McCloy and Black in the Office of the President fonds. The Central Files also contains correspondence of the first Bank Vice Presidents which are fragmentary in the General Vice Presidents and Managing Directors fonds. Records in this fonds document significant events and studies, administrative and organizational changes, governing bodies and committees, membership and obligations of countries, financial transactions, and the Bank's administrative and operating policies and processes including lending, projects, and development policy. The fonds comprises the general (non-regional) files on all topics not specific to a region or country as well as the membership, bond, and finance files relating to IBRD, IDA and IFC. The general filing practice for correspondence between two offices within the Bank whose records were filed in Central Files was to save the copy of the document retained by the creating unit (often a yellow carbon copy) and to destroy the copy sent to the receiving unit, unless the receiving unit had annotated the document, in which case both copies were saved. Central Files Board of Governors support and reference Add to clipboard WB IBRD/IDA ADMCF-01 Series 1946 - 1977 Central Files Series consists of records relating to the functions of the Board of Governors of the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD), International Development Association (IDA), and International Finance Corporation (IFC) created between 1946 to 1977 that were maintained in the centralized files system. The records in this series primarily originated from the Secretary's Department and the Office of the President. As described in the archival history section, Secretary's Department is the custodian of Board of Governors records and proceedings, but distributed certain correspondence and related documents to the Central Files while maintaining its own official files. Types of records in the series include internal memoranda, letters and cables, and original letters from government officials. Occasionally accompanying the correspondence are Board documents, press clippings, and printed material such as booklets. A sizable portion of the series contains records related to World Bank Group Annual Meetings beginning from 1950 to 1977. Meeting files include correspondence regarding meeting arrangements, guests, consultations and briefing appointments, panel discussions, committee agendas, staffing, joint procedures, social events, public relations, and liaison and agreements with International Monetary Fund (IMF). There is also correspondence and other records relating to the President's speech to the Annual Meetings such as: proposals of topics; provision of data including ten-year figures on Bank activities; preliminary and final speech issued as a press release; and governors' reactions to the addresses in the form of letters. Summary of proceedings from 1965 are included in a portion of the files. Series also contains records relating to the preparation of IBRD, IDA, and IFC annual reports (1950 - 1977) presented by the Bank president at the Annual Meetings. Although there is no first annual report booklet for IFC within the files, the series contains IFC's second and other printed annual reports, as well as memoranda concerning the preparation and drafting of the first IFC annual report. Records of the earliest annual reports from the first to fifth reports are absent from the IBRD and IDA files, although there are memoranda and a press release summary of the sixth annual IBRD annual report and subsequent reports. Also included in the files is a statement of Bank policies for the 1950 annual report outlined in a memorandum from Martin Rosen to J. Burke Knapp and memoranda regarding submissions of text for inclusion and draft reports, and printing of the reports. General files beginning from 1946 contain mostly routine correspondence regarding travel of Governors to annual meetings, expenses, and allowances. The substantive correspondence includes discussion of procedural issues in accordance with the articles and by-laws, first IFC investment involving equity and a drafted letter to be sent by President Black to governors regarding IFC chairmanship. Series also contains records relating to early Board committees (1948 - 1950) such as the Committee on Rules and Regulations, Committee on Membership, and Ad Hoc Committee to consider provisions to duties and renumeration of Executive Directors. The Committees file contains outgoing memoranda primarily from the Bank secretary and Board committee reports and resolutions. Most of the correspondence is administrative and relates to travel and distribution of documentation. A file on the Advisory Council (1948 - 1950) includes draft notes and resolutions. Also included in the series is the Board of Governors supplementary report to United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC, 1965) and two files on Board resolutions (1969 - 1971).

Mopane Worms
Mopane worms – a staple since ancient times
Boiled, dried or fried – Mopane worms are food for all palates. A type of caterpillar, the worms are highly nutritious & have provided the people of Southern Africa with a reliable & high quality food source for thousands of years. The name & spelling may vary between people & places, but the worms themselves remain comfortingly the same. In a continent that has battled poverty & famine, they have literally been life savers. Drying them extends their availability between the short seasons of plenty.
Mopane worms : Quick facts
The name is derived from the Mopane Tree (Colophospermum mopane ) that the animals feast on. They eat leaves from other trees, but are especially fond of Mopane Tree leaves.
Mopani/Mopane worms are known by many names in this area of diverse people, languages & cultures
The worm is the caterpillar of the Emperor moth, Gonimbrasia belina. The moths live for a few days during which time they mate, lay eggs then die.
After hatching, the larva grow into caterpillars that eat, grow & moult. They are best harvested just before pupation.
Historically, they were an excellent & readily available seasonal food for humans & birds who eat them for sustenance.
Recent commercialisation & profiteering has caused over utilisation & dwindling supply
Mopane Worms as Human Food
Traditionally, Mopane worms are hand-picked from the trees when they are large & fat. The innards are squeezed out before the worms are dried in the sun/smoked to preserve them. They can be eaten in their dry state (seasoned to taste with salt & pepper), or soaked to reconstitute & cooked to feed families. The former is common in urban areas, while cooking after soaking is more efficient for feeding rural families.
Mopane worms have turned up in speciality restaurants from Johannesburg to Paris. The growth in popularity is likely driven by famine & poverty in the areas where they occur, a worldwide trend to eat natural foods, an urge to eat what our ancestors ate & the popularity of survival documentaries in the media. Commercialisation has put this food source under pressure, but re-establishing it back to abundant sustainability is relatively simple. This food source is a lot more gentle on the environment than beef or other protein production.
Mopane Worms in the UK & Worldwide
Mopani / mopane worms can be bought from South African speciality shops in the UK for around £3.20 per 100g. This seems expensive (because it IS), but a little does go a long way. I have not yet come across them in more general African grocery shops, but I expect to at some point. Like mealie / maize meal & many other items, I do expect to be able to source them cheaper. I do not eat them myself, but I do love the aroma when the cook of the house has them on the stove.
Mopane Worm – Stew Recipe
This recipe was difficult to put down here because the cook of the house changes his recipe depending on what he has to hand, & what he fancies on the day.
Ingredients:
Mopane worms (soaked in water & plumped up), 1 large potato, morogo, 1 large onion, 2 tomatoes, 1Tsp finely chopped green chillies, salt, pepper, 1 Tsp turmeric, 1 Tsp finely chopped garlic, coriander to taste, butter
Method:
Fry the onions in the butter until they go clear. Add chillies, garlic & turmeric to the onions & cook lightly until the flavours blend. Add the mopane worms, chopped potato & diced tomato with some water to cover. Allow a few minutes for the ingredients to render down, then add morog/morogo & turn the heat down. Cover the pot pan & leave it to cook for about 30 minutes. Add fresh coriander before serving.
Serve:
Over sadza / pap
Notes: In the UK, any green leafy vegetable will substitute for morogo but nettles are the closest. Add what you like, leave out what you don’t like.

A new Detroit nonprofit called Write A House has figured out something to do with Detroit's thousands and thousands of vacant and blighted homes -- fix them up and give them to writers. Write House, one of the three homes purchased by the Detroit nonprofit and writer's residency program. One of the founders is Sarah Cox, editorial director of the real estate site Curbed. She moved to Detroit from New York three years ago to begin the site's Detroit blog. Advertisement “In the past three years, I've seen incredible progress, but there is still so much room for more in the literary arts," she said in a release. Cox thinks other writers could recreate her journey. "This is a city with unique, historic and fascinating stuff happening. We think there are writers who will want to come and be a part of it," she said. The organization purchased three homes in need of repairs in a neighborhood located north of Hamtramck, a highly diverse enclave surrounded by the city of Detroit. Down the street is the Powerhouse Project, whose artist-run neighborhood organization has been regularly documented in national magazines like Juxtapoz. Write A House is currently hoping to raise $25,000 on crowdfunding site Indiegogo to restore Peach House, the first future home for a Detroit writer. Young Detroit Builders, which teaches contracting skills to young people in the city, will help get the houses back into shape. Advertisement Write A House's director said their organization is registered as a non-profit in the state of Michigan, but their 501(c)3 status is pending. Donations collected through their crowdfunding campaign go directly to Young Detroit Builders, a registered 501(c)3. “We chose this neighborhood to start because it's a smaller community and we felt we could have an impact," said Kat Hartman, acting director of Write A House. “The neighborhood has a level of vacancy that is affecting the quality of life for current residents. They need more good neighbors.” Write House during renovations. Image courtesy of Write A House. Write A House will accept applications from working, "low-income" writers in the spring, who will be asked to send writing samples and a letter of intent. The judges include former National Poet Laureate Billy Collins, poet Major Jackson, writer and filmmaker Dream Hampton and editor of the Farrar, Straus & Giroux publishing house Sean McDonald. Writers from all over the world, or living just a few miles away, are all encouraged to apply. If they win, they'll call Detroit home for at least the next two years. Writers will lease the homes from the nonprofit, a small amount to cover taxes and insurance. If they stay for 24 months, they'll be awarded the deed -- and Detroit will count another resident to its comeback. "We didn't want to create an atmosphere where people are being encouraged to flip homes," said Francis Grunow, a notable urban planner in Detroit who is on the board of Write A House.

You are on HTTPS right now Please click here to get to the HTTP version. This examples show the "Hide a part of the iframe" features which only available in the pro version of the advanced iframe. With this feature you can place one or several divs over an iframe. This can be used to e.g. hide an area of by placing a div with the background color over this section. You can even place your own images in this div by specifying a background image. The two examples below show both options. Example 8: Hide some areas of the remote page Example 9: Place your own logo on a remote page Example 21: Make an iframe readonly Example 44: Include external html with shortcode and right/bottom alignment (New 7.1) Example 45: Hide a footer (New 7.1) Example 50: Using media queries to make the divs responsive (New 7.3) Please note: The plugin does officially support the usage of fixes sized divs. Making this divs responsive for different devices is possible only with deeper css knowhow. The codecanyon support does not include custom solutions here. If you need help simply contact me directly and ask for a quote. To make it easier to copy/paste the examples most examples are fully configured in the shortcode directly. I use use_shortcode_attributes_only="true" that none of the settings from the administration are used. Example 8: Hide some areas of the remote page This example shows how to hide several areas of a remote page. If you don't have access to a remote page and the "Show only a part of the iframe" option would cut away parts you don't like you can place a div with a color you define over the iframe page. As example page www.tinywebgallery.com is used. In the example I don't use while or black divs because you cannot see them then ;). The divs hide are placed over the logo, the language selector and the google ads. New 6.4: The logo also has a link with target _blank defined to the original page. See the original page tinywebgallery.com. A nice new feature of 7.5.2 is that elements are only shown for a specific time. So if you add e.g. $hide10000 to the color this div will hide after 10 seconds. Also transparent rgb colors are now supported. This makes e.g. sense if you want to hide something which also is only shown for a short period if time or if you like to show e.g. a message for your users. You should only use this feature if you don't use any scrollbars in the iframe because the extra divs don't scroll! And the shortcode which is used is: [advanced_iframe securitykey="your key" use_shortcode_attributes_only="true" src="//www.tinywebgallery.com" id="advanced_iframe_8" height="300" width="800" scrolling="no" hide_part_of_iframe="34,9,91,85,rgba(255§255§0§0.5)$hide10000,10,http://www.tinywebgallery.com,_blank|535,5,259,72,#ff00ff,10|63,145,37,18,#ff9900,10" hide_page_until_loaded="true" show_iframe_loader="true"] Example 9: Place your own logo on a remote page This example shows how to place your own image on a remote site. You should of course only do this if you are sure that you are allowed to do this. In the next example the tinywebgallery logo is hidden and a grayscale image is placed there instead. Also the language flag ist hidden with a white div. See the original page tinywebgallery.com. You should only use this feature if you don't use any scrollbars in the iframe because the extra divs don't scroll! Also you can do some more fancy stuff here! e.g. if you want to center the logo e.g. calc(50% - 45px),9,91,85 can be used! And the shortcode which is used is: [advanced_iframe securitykey="your key" use_shortcode_attributes_only="true" src="//www.tinywebgallery.com" id="advanced_iframe_9" height="300" width="800" scrolling="no" hide_part_of_iframe="34,9,91,85,transparent;background-image:url(/img/TinyWebGallery_logo_80x80_gray.png);background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:5px 1px;,10|63,145,37,18,#ffffff,10" hide_page_until_loaded="true"] Example 21: Make an iframe readonly New version 5.6: This example shows how to make an iframe readonly by placing a transparent div over the whole iframe. Please try to click on the iframe. None of the links should work. The interesting thing here is that height and width are set to 100% which does cover the whole iframe then. Please also check example 8! You can also put a link over the "read only" iframe to link to a different location. And the shortcode which is used is: [advanced_iframe securitykey="your key" use_shortcode_attributes_only="true" src="//www.tinywebgallery.com" id="advanced_iframe_21" height="300" width="800" scrolling="no" hide_part_of_iframe="0,0,100%,100%,transparent,10"] Example 44: Include external html with shortcode and right/bottom alignment This example shows how to include custom html into the div. The html is stored in the advanced-iframe-custom folder and in the config you need to provide the key of this file: hide_<key>.html. Also shortcodes are supported in the custom html. In the example below [yasr_visitor_votes size="small"] is used. The key is attached with $key to the backround style e.g. #ff00ff$123. Also you see below that the div can be aligned right and bottom. This is done by providing the prefix r for right and b for bottom. A new feature of 7.5.2 is that if you click on the div this is hidden again. This can be used to display a message before the iframe can be used. This content is from an external file where you can include any html. Also shortcodes can be used here. As example I have added yasr what you can see below. Click to rate this post! [Total: 110 Average: 4.1] And the shortcode which is used is: [advanced_iframe securitykey="your key" use_shortcode_attributes_only="true" src="//www.tinywebgallery.com" id="advanced_iframe_44" height="300" width="800" scrolling="no" hide_part_of_iframe="r0,b0,459,172,#ff00ff$123$hide,10"] Example 45: Hide a footer This example shows how you can hide a header and a footer even if you don't have access. In this example I use the "Show only a part of the iframe" feature with scrolling to hide the header and a pink "Hide a part of the iframe " div to hide the footer. If you would use a white div than you would hardly see this. I even use a negative margin at the bottom to move the normal text over the "hidden footer". Also zoom is supported! Please note that if you navigate between pages and the content of the page is getting smaller you still can see the footer then! For removing a footer which is at different heights you need to use the external workaround! And the shortcode which is used is: [advanced_iframe securitykey="your key" use_shortcode_attributes_only="true" src="//www.mdempfle.de/examples/example45/example_dynamic.html" id="example45" height="660" width="980" show_part_of_iframe="true" show_part_of_iframe_x="0" show_part_of_iframe_y="75" show_part_of_iframe_width="650" show_part_of_iframe_height="500" show_part_of_iframe_allow_scrollbar_vertical="true" enable_ios_mobile_scolling="true" hide_part_of_iframe="r0,b0,100%,60,#ff00ff,10" show_part_of_iframe_style="margin-bottom:-50px;" show_part_of_iframe_zoom="true"] Example 50: Using media queries to make the divs responsive This example is identical to the first div of example 8 except that there are media queries used to modify the divs depending on the browser size. Please note that this is an advanced topic where you need css knowhow. If you have no idea what media queries are please read some tutorials about this topic first. e.g. http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_rwd_mediaqueries.asp. The included codecanyon support does not include that I teach you css! In the example below an external css file is included which you can generate on the "Add/include files" tab. The interested part is the id. The divs have unique ids. This is always #wrapper-div-element-<id>-<number of div starting with 0>. So in our case this is #wrapper-div-element-advanced_iframe_47-0. Please note that this id is available since version 7.3! In this example it looks like this: @media only screen and (max-width: 600px) { /* below 600 px */ #wrapper-div-element-advanced_iframe_47-0 { width: 200px !important; height:300px !important; background-color: #448833 !important; } } @media only screen and (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 601px) { /* 601px - 1000px */ #wrapper-div-element-advanced_iframe_47-0 { width: 500px !important; height:100px !important; background-color: #884488 !important; } } 2 things are important You need to use !important everywhere as otherwise media queries do not overwrite inline css! As !important is used you need to always need to define ranges that do not overlap. So in the example above: (max-width: 1000px) and (min-width: 601px) Please resize your browser an see how the size an the background color does change. See the original page tinywebgallery.com. You should only use this feature if you don't use any scrollbars in the iframe because the extra divs don't scroll! [advanced_iframe securitykey="your shortcode" use_shortcode_attributes_only="true" src="//www.tinywebgallery.com" id="advanced_iframe_47" height="300" width="800" scrolling="no" hide_part_of_iframe="34,9,91,85,#ffff00,10,//www.tinywebgallery.com,_blank" hide_elements=".info,#sidebar" hide_page_until_loaded="true" show_iframe_loader="true" content_id="#main" content_styles="margin-top:0px;width:910px" additional_css="//www.tinywebgallery.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/advanced-iframe-custom/custom_media_query_hide.css"] Have fun using Advanced iFrame Pro,Michael Copyright © 2022 TinyWebGallery Blog.

Tuan-Ahn Tran (pronounced ‘two-hand tran’) remarkably is best known for his one handed TD grabs and blonde floppy mullet.
Smith Sr. was actually angling for the Bengals to sign Tran but the always watching Dave Gettleman scooped him up first:
“Wow!!” Smith tweeted. “The #Bengals would let the fool that jump #whitehousefence play for them if he didn’t get caught!!! #Lowstandards.”
Tran displayed outstanding twitch on that jump over the fence, which is what caught Smith’s eye. The rumor is Smith exclaimed ‘Ice up Son!’ when he saw the jump live on his TV. It turns out Tran is a huge fan of the POTUS and wanted to personally deliver a couple cans of scented mace as a gift. What better way to make an impression than to jump a 12 foot barbed wire fence protected by secret service agents with Uzis? Myles Garrett’s combine performance has got nothing on this Tran guy. You can see the video of the Tuan-Ahn Tran jump here. | positive |

Poll after poll is telling Scott Walker the same thing: you are on the wrong side of public opinion. While early polling can fool you, we now have substantial data both from the nation and from Wisconsin.
There's NBC/WSJ:
Do you think public employees who belong to a union and work for state government, city government, or a school district should have the same right to bargain when it comes to their health care, pension and other benefits as employees who belong to a union and work for private companies?
There's Pew:
There's CBS/NY Times:
There's the AFL-CIO poll from GQRR:
And from Wisconsin, there's PPP:
Wisconsin closely divided, but against Walker On the biggest picture question: do you side with Governor Walker or do you side with the public employee unions 51% of voters in the state go with the unions to 47% who stand with the Governor. On another broad question: do you side more with Governor Walker or with the Democrats in the state Senate, 52% of voters go with the Senate Democrats to 47% who go for Walker. And perhaps the clearest indication that Walker has lost a majority of the voters in the state in this conflict, if only a narrow majority, is that 52% of voters now disapprove of him to only 46% who like the job he's doing. Those numbers are basically the inverse of last fall's election results.
Et tu, Rasmussen?
A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Wisconsin voters shows that just 39% favor weakening collective bargaining rights and 52% are opposed. At the same time, 44% support a 10% pay cut for all state workers. Thirty-eight percent (38%) are opposed. That’s partly because 27% of Wisconsin voters believe state workers are paid too much and 16% believe they are paid too little. Forty-nine percent (49%) believe the pay of state workers is about right.
Rasmussen is Rasmussen, no more and no less accurate than usual, but this poll may be the only one that Walker actually looks at. Ouch for him, if he does. You know you are in trouble when your pet pollster deserts you.
The bottom line is that Gov. Walker has overplayed his hand with the public. Every Republican governor who is trying to curtail collective bargaining is at risk for being seen by the public as taking rights away, not balancing the budget. That can be done with givebacks (and the public is all for that, especially through negotiation.) But trying to curtail collective bargaining is seen by the public as the power grab it really is. The polls leave no doubt.
And as TPM notes re today's Rasmussen poll:
Rasmussen is out with a new poll that is frankly just devastating for Gov. Walker. Just devastating. We'll have a full write up momentarily. (Update: Here's our write-up.) But the thing that stuck out to me was the age distribution. We've all gotten used to polls in recent years that show Democrats with their strongest support among younger voters and Republicans with their best numbers among older voters. But I think most of us sort of implicitly figure this is significantly tied to what we call social issues -- gay rights, sexual politics, racial politics, etc. Not exclusively but that's where the young / old division in our politics is.
How this helps Republicans in general and Walker in particular is beyond me.
More on Republicans being on the wrong side of a multitude of the issues from Margie Omero, and on Wisconsin from Mark Blumenthal at pollster.com. It's becoming pretty clear that Walker's union-busting antics are not a long term winning move by Republicans. | positive |

The history of artificial intelligence (AI) dates back to antiquity – intelligent robots appear in the myths of many ancient societies, including Greek, Arabic, Egyptian and Chinese. Today, the field of artificial intelligence is more vibrant than ever and some believe that we're on the threshold of discoveries that could change human society irreversibly, for better or worse.
To truly understand what AI is, though, you need to appreciate the jargon that's thrown around out there right now. For instance, you need to know that artificial intelligence is not the same as machine learning, despite the fact it's regularly used as a synonym for it. The chief difference to remember is that machine learning is simply a process by which a computer can learn a skill, whereas artificial intelligence refers to a computer that can "think" for itself without being programmed to do so.
Facebook's head of AI research, Yann Lecun explains what AI is rather eloquently in an introduction to AI education.
Now we've cleared that up, here are ten things you need to know about AI before the robots take over the world:
1. Artificial intelligence is developing faster than you think, and speeding up exponentially
Humans tend to think in straight lines, but every aspect of technological progress is actually accelerating – including AI. Futurist Ray Kurzweil calls this the “Law of Accelerating Returns”, and presents evidence that an amount of progress equal to the entire 20th century's gains was attained between 2000 and 2014. He also argues that the same amount will happen again before 2021. Understanding the exponential nature of progress and ignoring the inner tendency to think things will keep improving at the same rate is key to getting to grips with how fast we'll make scientific advances in the future.
2. You use artificial intelligence all day, every day
Siri, Google Now, and Cortana are obvious examples of artificial intelligence, but AI is actually all around us. It can be found in vacuum cleaners, cars, lawnmowers, video games, Hollywood special effects, e-commerce software, medical research and international finance markets – among many other examples. John McCarthy, who originally coined the term “artificial intelligence” in 1956, famously quipped: “As soon as it works, no-one calls it AI anymore.”
3. Robots are definitely going to take your job
Yeah, I know you're a special flower and everything, but the work you do is either already automatable or will be very soon. How soon? Most jobs will be done by robots within 30 years, says professor Moshe Vardi of Rice University, leading to unemployment rates greater than 50%. That might sound bad, but many academics studying the field believe that technological unemployment will open the door to a future where work is something people do for pleasure, not out of necessity. Proposals such as universal basic income are the beginnings of a societal support structure that could eventually allow this to become a reality.
4. About half of the AI community believes computers will be as smart as humans by 2040
In 2013, two researchers surveyed hundreds of AI experts on when they thought there was a 50/50 chance that human-level artificial intelligence will arrive. The median answer was 2040 – only 24 years from now. The average life expectancy in the UK is 82 years, meaning that there's a heads/tails chance that a 58-year-old today will see computers as smart as humans in their lifetime. Another recent study from author James Barrat simply asked researchers when human-level AI would be achieved – by 2030, 2050, 2100, after 2100 or never. The largest group, 42% of respondents, said before 2030.
5. A lot of smart people think developing artificial intelligence to human level is a dangerous thing to do
Once machines are as intelligent as a human, a lot of worrying things can happen. There's little chance that AI development would cease at that point (the AI would almost certainly begin working on improving itself) and many very smart people – including Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk – think that this situation would be very scary indeed. “If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it’s probably that. So we need to be very careful,” said Musk during a recent interview. “I’m increasingly inclined to think that there should be some regulatory oversight, maybe at the national and international level, just to make sure that we don’t do something very foolish.”
6. Once artificial intelligence gets smarter than humans, we've got very little chance of understanding it
Tim Urban, at Wait But Why, explains this really well in his pair of enormous articles on artificial intelligence, so I'll quote him here: “A chimp can become familiar with what a human is and what a skyscraper is, but he’ll never be able to understand that the skyscraper was built by humans,” he writes. “We will never be able to even comprehend the things a [superintelligent AI] can do, even if the machine tried to explain it to us – let alone do it ourselves. It could try for years to teach us the simplest inkling of what it knows and the endeavor would be hopeless.”
7. There's no such thing as an “evil” artificial intelligence
Contrary to what we see in sci-fi and movies, AI can't be evil. That's a human concept. An AI can do unspeakably horrible things, but it doesn't do them out of sheer wickedness – it does them simply because that's what it has been programmed (intentionally or accidentally) to do. Stephen Hawking explained this concept recently in an AMA on Reddit. “A super-intelligent AI will be extremely good at accomplishing its goals,” he said, “and if those goals aren't aligned with ours, we're in trouble.”
8. There are three ways a superintelligent artificial intelligence could work
AI expert Nick Bostrom, in his fantastic book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies, classifies three ways in which a superintelligence could operate. An “oracle” would be able to answer questions with a good degree of accuracy. A “genie” would do anything it is commanded to do and then await the next command, while a “sovereign” would be assigned an overarching goal and then be allowed to operate in the world and make decisions about how best to accomplish that goal. For the reasons above, the former is much less scary than the latter.
9. Artificial intelligence could be the reason why we've never met aliens
Further up, Elon Musk described AI as an “existential threat” to humanity, meaning that it could erase mankind from the universe entirely. This ties in with ideas of a “Great Filter” that kills off alien civilisations that reach a certain level of technological development. It's entirely possible that the reason we've never met aliens is because they invented artificial intelligence before they could build spaceships capable of interstellar travel, and that discovery caused their extinction.
10. Basically, there's a good chance we'll be extinct or immortal by the end of the century
The world of AI research is roughly split into optimists and pessimists. The optimists hope that we'll one day invent a superintelligence that solves every problem we can imagine and leads us into a utopian future where all of mankind's needs are met and everyone lives happily ever after. The pessimists are concerned that one tiny mistake along the way will lead to the swift end of the human race – as an AI programmed to solve climate change, for example, identifies that humans are the number one obstacle to doing so. There are also scenarios in between, of course – where would a reality such as The Matrix, where humans are cultivated as a fuel source in a state of perfect happiness, lie on that scale?
For now, you can leave your opinion in the comments section below. But it likely won't be very long until we find out for real.

Our latest unit in physics was all about energy. Students began the unit with a hands-on balloon car build. Taking into consideration prior concepts we’ve studied (Newton’s Laws and Forces), students created wind-powered cars that we then incorporated into an all-class Rube-Goldberg machine! Students were asked to calculate the initial and final energies in their systems and then determine the energy that dissipated out of the system through friction and/or air resistance. Students in Geology/Astronomy, which is mostly comprised of seniors, recently completed “legacy projects”. These projects asked students to pick a topic they enjoyed learning about and to expand upon it in their own way. Students then created a related stand-alone lesson or activity that could be utilized next year at The Link School. Projects included. . . -Creating a weather station (wind sock, weathervane, thermometer, and barometer) -Creating a Nature Walk (tree identification, rock identification, GPS use) -How To Operate Our Telescope (instructional video on how to use Link’s telescope) -How To See and Taste Success in the Greenhouse (instructional music video) It was so neat watching the legacy projects come together, as each represented students’ ingenuity, individuality, and a year’s worth of learning. – Rick Bieterman, Science Teacher Why Link?

Just when it seemed the first 14-fight card in UFC history was going to go off without a hiccup, a crucial flyweight contest has fallen off Saturday’s UFC 211 lineup.
Former flyweight title challenger Henry Cejudo has been forced to withdraw from his scheduled bout against Sergio Pettis due to a hand injury. The UFC made the announcement on tonight’s episode of “UFC Tonight” on FS1. MMAFighting.com first reported the news.
A late replacement will not be sought, and according to the report, Pettis will be paid the “show” portion of his contracted fight purse.
A middleweight fight between David Branch (20-3 MMA, 2-2 UFC) and Krzysztof Jotko (19-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) has been moved from the preliminary card to the main card, and a featherweight fight between Jared Gordon (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Michel Quinones (8-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) has moved from the UFC Fight Pass prelims to the FX portion of the event.
UFC 211 takes place at American Airlines Center in Dallas. Pettis vs. Cejudo was scheduled to open the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FX and UFC Fight Pass.
Cejudo, No. 4 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings, has had numerous issues with late-fight withdrawals over the course of his career. The Olympic gold medalist in wrestling has pulled out of seven total fights including the latest incident.
“The Messenger” was hoping to snap a two-fight losing skid to Joseph Benavidez and Demetrious Johnson at the event, telling MMAjunkie at today’s UFC 211 media day that the losing skid has been “miserable.” He will now have to wait longer to get back on track.
It’s unknown at this time if the UFC will attempt to reschedule the contest between Cejudo and No. 8-ranked Pettis.
With the change, the new UFC 211 lineup now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET)
Champ Stipe Miocic vs. Junior Dos Santos – for heavyweight title
Champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk vs. Jessica Andrade – for strawweight title
Demian Maia vs. Jorge Masvidal
Frankie Edgar vs. Yair Rodriguez
David Branch vs. Krzysztof Jotko
PRELIMINARY CARD (FX, 8 p.m. ET)
Eddie Alvarez vs. Dustin Poirier
Jason Knight vs. Chas Skelly
Jared Gordon vs. Michel Quinones
Marco Polo Reyes vs. James Vick
PRELIMINARY CARD (UFC Fight Pass, 6 p.m. ET)
Jessica Aguilar vs. Cortney Casey
Rashad Coulter vs. Chase Sherman
Enrique Barzola vs. Gabriel Benitez
Gadzhimurad Antigulov vs. Joachim Christensen

Beşiktaş JK have signed Turkish internationals Tolga Zengin and Serdar Kurtuluş on three-year deals, bringing in the duo for a combined fee of around €4.5m from Trabzonspor AŞ and Gaziantepspor respectively.
Goalkeeper Tolga, 29, came through the youth ranks at Black Sea side Trabzonspor, making 110 Süper Lig outings since breaking into the first team in 2005/06. Capped five times by Turkey, he reached a pinnacle of sorts in 2011/12, playing in the UEFA Champions League and racking up 40 top-flight appearances. However, he was used just five times in the league in 2012/13 due to injuries and the impressive form of 25-year-old Onur Kıvrak. His contract includes a 12-month extension option.
Right-back Serdar, meanwhile, rejoins the club he represented from 2006–09, when he featured in 58 Süper Lig games and won the 2008/09 title. The 26-year-old is a Bursaspor youth product and returned to his best form after a move to Gaziantepspor, posting 113 league outings for the south-east side. Following his debut in 2007, he was recalled to the national team in 2013 after a long absence and now has six caps. | positive |

Pinterest The Washington Post
Drew Magary on the firing of the Redskins GM and Dan Snyder's indefatigable twerpitude.
I have lived in the DC area for well over a decade now and I've borne witness to Skins owner Dan Snyder doing some pretty evil shit: suing season ticket holders, getting park rangers fired, banning signs, deliberately hiring a critical reporter away from the Washington Post just to fire him, emasculating Jim Zorn, sending out an army of personal Sean Spicers to defend the team nickname, and filing baseless lawsuits just to drain the coffers of people he doesn't like. Petty shitheadedness is Standard Operating Procedure over at team headquarters in Ashburn, VA, but what happened yesterday was somehow, against all odds, jaw-dropping for an organization that lives to fuck up.
If you follow the NFL, you already know the background here: Two years ago, the team hired former Niners and Seahawks exec Scot McCloughan as General Manager. McCloughan was known as a heavy drinker in his two previous jobs, but he was a respected talent evaluator, and he was supposedly given total control over the roster, which was virtually unheard of during Snyder's first two decades operating the team. Since McCloughan's arrival, the team has gone 17-14-1, with one division title. That doesn't sound particularly impressive, but these are the Skins, so that represents a quantum leap in achievement around these parts. As a result, McCloughan became the only front office exec in Washington that fans trusted. This team seemed to be, at long last, getting things right. As someone who loathes the organization, I can't tell you how discouraging it was to watch them be mildly competent.
That all collapsed this offseason, because two years is jussssst about the maximum amount of time that the Skins can go without shooting themselves in the dick. In addition to getting into a bitter and needless contract dispute with quarterback Kirk Cousins (who just personally appealed to Dan Snyder for a trade and was rebuffed), the team began to drift away from McCloughan. He was nowhere to be found at the NFL scouting combine (the team attributed the absence to the death of his grandmother, who had passed away three weeks earlier), and was effectively ghosted from headquarters during the lead-up to free agency. Former tight end Chris Cooley put out a rumor that McCloughan was drinking heavily again, and the Skins did nothing to deny it. Then yesterday, on the opening day of free agency, they fired him. And here is where it gets really gross:
An official with direct knowledge of the situation attributed the decision to McCloughan's ongoing problems with alcohol… "He's had multiple relapses due to alcohol," said the official, who spoke on a condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to comment on personnel matters. "He showed up in the locker room drunk on multiple occasions. . . . This has been a disaster for 18 months."
Eighteen months. Eighteen fucking months. You're telling me that the Skins hired an alcoholic and let him run rampant for 3/4ths of his tenure before suddenly coming to their senses at the worst possible time? Bullshit. BULL. SHIT. Someone please make a neon sign that says BULLSHIT and post it outside Snyder's bedroom window. Please note that the Skins fired McCloughan with cause, which means they don't want to pay him, and please note that the Post report above is attributed to four reporters. One of whom—Mike Jones—pretty much contradicted his own article's source on Twitter last night:
That tweet was retweeted by McCloughan's wife. As you can see, not everyone, Post employees included, was pleased that the paper gave the anonymous official in this piece carte blanche to dump all over McCloughan. Also, one of the bylines on that piece belongs to John Woodrow Cox, who contributed to this extremely favorable report on the team's racist nickname a year ago. Draw your own conclusions.
It gets worse, by the way. Here's another report on McCloughan from the local CBS affiliate, which, like the Post report, also includes scuttlebutt from a bravely anonymous source:
"[Team president] Bruce [Allen] and [head coach] Jay [Gruden] run the Redskins. Bruce and Jay's record for the team the last two years is them," the source told 106.7 The Fan. "The facade of the GM has been exposed on the outside now…But everyone on the inside and many in the NFL always knew."
Oh wow, turns out the people still in charge were the actual masterminds of the team's resurgence! FANCY THAT. That above quote has already been refuted by Jason La Canfora and other NFL access merchants who, under normal circumstances, would never call out the same people who feed them scoops:
Even if you buy that the Skins did all they could to help McCloughan, including sending him to rehab (the Post points out that McCloughan took no noticeable absences with the team prior to this spring), they still handled this with a shocking (and possibly illegal) disregard for the welfare of a man they already KNEW to be ill. As plenty of people have already pointed out, McCloughan was far from the only person in Ashburn who liked to booze:
But do you know what? Nothing I'm saying here matters. It's safe to assume that you should never trust this team to act in good faith, but a lot of people will. A lot of people will open up the paper this morning, read those anonymous quotes, and spend the rest of their lives assuming that McCloughan was an incorrigible drunk who deserved what he got. The damage to his professional reputation, and his life, will be permanent. It doesn't matter how much I, or anyone else, tries to debunk those claims. It doesn't matter if McCloughan sues the team and wins, as he ought to. The Skins will carry on making money while sucking, as always. It's yet another perfect little example of how fake news can become holy writ that benefits the powerful, and it's going to ruin a man who may not deserve it.
EDITOR’S PICK
Here's what I think: I think Bruce Allen, who runs the team through a fun mix of cronyism and nepotism, didn't like that McCloughan had become the face of the team's success, and I think, with Snyder's blessing, he screwed McCloughan over. Nakedly. Blatantly. I think the whole thing is gross. I think it's a whole new dimension of gross for a team that lives to explore such dimensions. I'm surprised that I'm so surprised they were capable of this, frankly. I should have known. I should have known that a football lifer like McCloughan was doomed the second he set foot in that viper pit. I should have known that Snyder would stand by and watch one of his own employees get hung out to dry. And I should have known that this team will always find a way to be the absolute fucking worst.

The Puggles are the result of the crossbreeding between the Chinese Pugs and the Beagles and they happen to have gained quite the fame in the world of designer dog breeds. Things about designer dog breeds are not always predictable as they are likely to inherit the gene of either of their parents or inherit from each. But things that are likely to be certain about the Puggles is that they are normally inclined to inherit the coloring of their Pug parent. And, for their body type, they are likely to inherit that from their Beagle parent. So, the coat colors Puggle comes in include solid black, solid fawn, fawn with black mask, and tri-color.

Characteristics of the Puggle So, let’s briefly look at some characteristics of the Puggle.

They can adapt to both novice and expert owners and training this dog breed can be a little easy and even fun.

Apr 16, 2016; Washington, DC, USA; Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby (70) makes a save on Philadelphia Flyers center Claude Giroux (28) in the second period in game two of the first round of the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs at Verizon Center. Mandatory Credit: Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports
The Philadelphia Flyers dominated much of Game 2 versus the Washington Capitals, but took a tough loss mostly due to special teams and goaltending
It doesn’t take a statistician to tell you that the Philadelphia Flyers probably deserved better against the Washington Capitals in Game 2 on Saturday than a 4-1 loss. Just a quick glance at the box score would show you Braden Holtby making 42 saves for the Capitals, and the Flyers piling up 19 shots on goal in the first period alone.
Alas, making Holtby work a lot harder than he did in game 1 wasn’t enough. Despite all the early pressure, the Flyers fell behind 1-0 after a power play goal. It was a case of really bad penalty killing, Nick Schultz lost his stick, and Chris VandeVelde made an ill-fated effort to hand over his stick. The end result was effectively a 5-on-2 power play and a way-too-easy-goal.
The Flyers had a great chance to tie the game a few minutes later with a long 5 on 3. The Flyers generated chances, but Holtby played really well and the Caps blocked a few shots to help him out. The biggest turning point of the game was a truly horrific goal conceded by Steve Mason. Mason had looked okay before then, and recovered thereafter, but the damage was done.

[What is Corsi rating?]
The Flyers must be pleased with Giroux and Voracek getting the better of Backstrom and Ovechkin. Simmonds led the team with 6 shots on goal, while Voracek added 4 more and a goal during 4v4.
It was another physical game, with the teams combining for 74 credited hits. Simmonds and White led the Flyers’ forward with 5 hits each.
The new second line of Gagner-Schenn-Raffl held their own, mostly against the tricky Kuznetsov line.
The new Cousins line with Scott Laughton played very well, as they did a few months ago during the regular season. Laughton had 5 shot attempts, all on goal.
Rounding out the Flyers’ performances was the 4th line, having another good game. Bellemare and VandeVelde didn’t individually get many shots, although VandeVelde hit the post late in the game.
For all the Flyers’ possession, it didn’t come from faceoff wins. The Flyers won 47% overall, and the usually dominant Giroux won only 46%.

Kyrgios was fined at last year's Shanghai Masters for a foul-mouthed outburst
Nick Kyrgios responded to fans who booed him at the Shanghai Masters by saying: "I don't owe them anything."
The Australian patted the ball over the net several times when serving as he lost 6-3 6-1 to German Mischa Zverev.
He also began walking back to his chair before a serve from qualifier Zverev had landed, argued with a fan and received a code violation for swearing.
It came a day after the 21-year-old said he was "bored" during his first-round victory over Sam Querrey.
Kyrgios admitted he "took the easy way out" and "tapped out a little bit" against Zverev in their second-round match, but said the crowd were wrong to criticise him.
"I feel like if they knew what they were talking about they'd be on the tennis court and being successful," he said.
"I can't really understand it at all. They don't know what I'm going through.
"If you don't like it, I didn't ask you to come watch. Just leave. If you're so good at giving advice and so good at tennis, why aren't you as good as me? Why aren't you on the Tour?"
Kyrgios also said he "couldn't care less" if he reached the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London, which features the top eight players in the world.
Kyrgios later adopted a more contrite tone on Twitter
Murray offers Kyrgios advice
World number two Andy Murray said it was Kyrgios' job as a professional athlete to perform at his best in every match.
"He had a great week last week and it is not easy to back it up in a different city the following week if you are feeling a bit tired and jaded," said the Briton, who reached the third round in Shanghai with a 6-3 6-2 win over American Steve Johnson.
"But obviously you have to give your best effort of what you have on that day, that is your job as a professional athlete.
"If you are feeling sick, maybe you are not going to play well or perform as good, but you have to give your best with what you have on the day.
"That is something I have been trying to do in the last few years of my career, accepting when you are not feeling good, maybe a little bit stiff or sore, or a little bit down, you just have to try to push through it."
Kyrgios is ranked 12th in the world after winning the Japan Open on Sunday.
It is the highest ranking he has reached in a career in which he has fallen foul of the tennis authorities for his behaviour.
Last year he was fined $1,500 for a foul-mouthed outburst while playing in Shanghai.
That came two months after he was given a suspended 28-day ban for making a sexual comment about Stan Wawrinka's girlfriend during a match.
Earlier this year, his attitude was questioned after he lost convincingly to Andy Murray in the fourth round at Wimbledon. | positive |
18 Walls by Teo Xue Shen: a review – 64th Opinion About Stories Vicky Cooper Common Test One Step Down Games Tulugaak Broader Collie Hippos with Jetpacks Zirgog Hates Visitors Just Borrowin’ Li’l MacDonald Had a Problem Film Stickers Birds of Play—Animated Stickers! Say It With Will! Design Blog September 8, 2019 Books, Sci-Fi 18 Walls by Teo Xue Shen: a review The release of The Hunger Games triggered a renaissance for dystopian literature. In its wake came a wave of books like Divergent, the Maze Runner and many others. And Teo Xue Shen’s 18 Walls. Its premise is simple: humanity is fighting a group of half-human half animals called the “Savages” whose hobby is to bash people’s faces in. Ren, our hero, is a child soldier part of the global coalition to stop them. With plenty of action and adventure, twists and turns, Teo’s debut novel is an impressive work. But the fact stands that it’s a debut novel by a developing author, and Teo still has a way to go. (Read it anyway though. Preferably before you read the SPOILERS BELOW.) I will readily admit that coming up with a story to last 270-odd pages is not something to scoff at, and Teo deserves praise for that. The problem was that this plot needed 800 pages. 18 Walls, simply put, is a jam packed novel. Within a hundred pages we discover the antagonists are actually good, the protagonist’s parents were murdered by his own leader, and said leader actually made the “Savages” they fight against. Most stories generally have only one of two major plot twists so their readers’ heads don’t blow up. Like the fact Professor Quirrell has Voldemort under his headdress. Or that Ginny Weasley was working with the heir of Slytherin i.e. Voldemort. Or that Scabbers was actually Peter Pettigrew. (Sorry, but J. K. Rowling really has the most epic plot twists.) The point is, you can have ten plot twists in a novel, but you need breathing room between them and appropriate foreshadowing for the plot twist not to feel forced, and unfortunately 18 Walls fails on those counts. The same problem existed in character development. While Teo’s main characters were decent, his supporting cast was too supporting—their character development either went at a snail’s pace or at light speed at the plot’s convenience. While I knew from the onset the fact April was useless at the start meant she would be useful at the end, her development felt like a quantum leap—too sudden, too large. The second problem—thankfully, a problem mostly in experience—is the disparity between Teo’s writing ability in different scenes. Hands down, 18 Walls main strength is its action. The battle scenes were smooth, easy to read and pulled off with finesse. His weakness, then, was when he or his characters attempted to discuss serious or emotional issues. I don’t think it was a problem with the interactions or his discussions to begin with—his writing is decent after all—but the situations themselves. We see Rick has a troubled past because his mother is a drunk jerk. We see Sean ran away from his privileged family because he couldn’t bear his cruel older brother. We see Ren and the crew defect to the “good guys” because clearly their own government is nuts. There isn’t a problem with those situations per se, but the problem is that past the first plot twist, the enemies are so clearly evil and the good guys so clearly righteous. Maybe for a children’s book that would’ve passed, but for YA fiction there usually is more grey areas, because in real life people are less of good and bad, but more of bad and worse, and once you’re past children’s fiction you usually represent that a little more. Instead, the book proceeds to a straightforward assassination of the Captain—the lord high poobah of the bad dudes. Under a more experienced writer, I think that the elements of action and moral grey areas could have been more blended—the last few chapters of Mockingjay, the final instalment of The Hunger Games is an stellar example of that. (i.e. that epic moment where Katniss assassinates the new president because she realises they had basically traded one dictator for another and then the people actually get to vote for their own leader. Yay for democracy.) In the end, there’s more I could say about 18 Walls, but as I said earlier, for a first novel, it’s pretty good. Are there areas for improvement? Certainly. The story needed more pages to let it breath a bit. Are there things that are good? Certainly. His command of action and army life (and since I’m serving in the same army he served in, I can confirm this) are good and entertaining. Should you read it? I would say yes. Don’t expect the world of the book, but I say this: expect more from Teo in the future. Because if a nineteen year old with little time and energy (you can read more about his story here) could write a story like this, then I can’t wait for his next novel.

You move even across surfaces that would be impossible for any other common man with ease. When you reach 18th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces, ceilings and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move. This benefit works only in short bursts; you fall if you end your turn on a surface that can't support your weight.
Your ability to move uninterrupted is improved as you learn how to deal with enemies that would try to stop you. Starting at 15th level, when your movement will provoke opportunity attack from an enemy, you can use your reaction to make one attack against this creature. If you successfully hit the creature, it has disadvantage on any attacks of opportunity against you until the end of your turn.
When you reach 10th level, your movement speed increases by 10 feet. Additionally, you gain an ability to jump over your foe to surprise them from another side. As a part of Attack action, you can forego one of your attacks and attempt to jump over a hostile creature within 5 feet of you. If you succeed on a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check, of which DC is equal to 15, increased by 5 for each size category above Medium, you move over hostile creature’s head as part of the attack. You fall right in the opposite space adjacent to the creature and your next attack against that creature will have advantage until the end of your next turn. You can use this feature only once per turn.
In addition, when you make a running long jump or a vertical jump, the distance you cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Dexterity modifier.
After enough training, your skills of moving freely are an impressive sight. At 7th level, you gain 30 feet climbing speed.
Additionally, once you gain Extra Attack feature, you can forego one of your attacks and move up to half your movement speed as a part of the same action. At 11th level, you can forgo two attacks and move up to half your movement speed for each one.
Starting at 3rd level, you ignore non-magical difficult terrain. You also gain advantage on all checks and saving throws to end a restrained condition on you, and on all Athletics and Acrobatics checks to move.
Something-something trained so hard and got so far. In the end, does it really matter?
Different fighters choose different approaches to perfecting their fighting prowess. The martial archetype you choose to emulate reflects your approach.

Answer this short survey Languages Norsk English About AHO/Contact Study programmes Projects Research Library News Archive Vacancies Calendar INTERN: for AHO staff INTERN: for AHO students Home Start semester 2018 Spring 2017 Spring 80 608 Re-store Municipal Monuments Full course name in Norwegian Bokmål: Re-Store Municipal Monuments Credits: 24 Course code: 80 608 Level of study: Master Teaching semester: 2018 Spring Assessment semester: 2018 Spring Language of instruction: English Year: 2018 Maximum number of students: 15 Person in charge Amandine Kastler Course content “Architecture involves some detective work. You look at things, you look under and through things because they are a source or knowledge, signs of momentary resourcefulness.” Irénée Scalbert In 1963, the municipality of Asker erected a building of radical international style in a rural field situated twenty-five kilometres to the west of Oslo. Rising above the surrounding agricultural landscape, Asker Town Hall and a string of other modernist town halls constructed across the country, herald a new era of municipal authority. The town halls epitomise a paradigm change in the way Norway is governed through the architecture of its newly built institutions. This semester the Re Store studio will focus on the preservation and maintenance of regional town halls. Working with Asker town hall as a case study, our initial emphasis will be on the existing – a process of surveying container and contained to appreciate how the building functions both as a symbol of local identity and an instrument calibrating the ebb and flow of everyday life. It will be our brief first to observe, record and evaluate the existing infrastructure, and only then subvert and transform our latently propositional findings into design proposals. The studio is concerned with three distinct scales: the territory of the municipality, the town hall as its nucleus, and the citizens and bureaucrats that operate within it. Municipality Empowered by the 1965 Building and Planning Act, Norwegian municipalities became key agents of local democracy. As part of the effort to build a social democratic welfare state in Norway after the war, municipalities were given new responsibilities previously handled at a national level, such as education, healthcare and planning. The municipality assumed the role as conductor of national policy into the provinces with the town hall acting as their monumental manifestation. Municipal territories originated from the informal boundaries of the church parish. Subsequently modern infrastructure connected areas previously separated by topography, sea and natural barriers. Distances shortened, and municipal mergers took place. Current governmental reforms aim to reduce over four-hundred local municipalities to around one-hundred. The reformation and consolidation will leave many town halls no longer fit for purpose or obsolete. These monumental pieces of municipal architecture stand in stark contrast with their context as isolated instances of international modernism dotted throughout the Norwegian countryside. Town Hall A microcosm of the municipality, the town hall is the civic centre, where processes of governance have a direct casual effect on the territory that surrounds it. Asker will merge with two neighbouring municipalities as a part of the national municipal reform. Whilst the Town Hall continues to represent and serve the local municipality, the impending growth of its administration means it will soon cease to be fully fit for purpose. Oddly perched on a hill overlooking the town below, the seven-storey tower flanked by two low-rise podium buildings form a classical modernist ensemble. Set against the backdrop of rolling hills and pine forest, the tower marks its importance in the landscape. The low podium grounds the building and welcomes visitors in from below. An early example of the work of Lund & Slaatto, the building is uncompromising and consistent in its construction. However, like many modernist icons, it has reached the threshold of its material obsolesce and requires costly maintenance and restoration. The studio will challenge the understanding of the Town Hall as a ‘complete architectural object’ by exploring it as an ensemble of elements embodied with their own meaning. By tracing the patterns of use from the residues of human occupation, students will develop an understanding of what has been used and how. This work will grow out of the translations between observing, drawing and making - to discover possibilities in what already exists. Bureaucrat and Citizen In a political climate that celebrates corporate prowess, the image of the public-sector worker in popular culture is one of dullness and inefficiency. In this narrative, the interaction between local governance and the public plays out in slow motion through the hatch in the wall of a grey room. From their offices bureaucrats write the policies that affect the strategic planning of their local municipality. The choreography of policy-making and its implementation has a distinct spatial dimension. Following complicated routines full of checks and balances their decisions control many facets of everyday life. Although Asker town hall is today appreciated and in many ways considered exemplary, the public reception of the building was varied. Town halls built in the post war era were frequently associated with bureaucratic inadequacy and criticized for being insensitive to their surrounding context. The studio will challenge the stereotypes of the past, to understand how technology and infrastructure can enable new forms of public interface, while centralisation aims to limit bureaucratic inefficiency. Through a series of workshops, the studio will work closely with actors in the local municipality to develop strategies that address issues such as changing municipal requirements, future governmental consolidations, and the material obsolescence of the building’s aging modernist structure. Additional Teacher Erlend Skjeseth Learning outcome The studio will provide a foundation to critically evaluate different ways of approaching the re-use and transformation of existing structures at varying scales. Students will accrue knowledge on how to formulate individual architectural proposals based on close observation and analysis of present conditions. Students will learn to analyse and adapt existing infrastructure to develop operational forms of architecture. Actively working with current issues affecting Asker Town Hall, the course will provide insights into the ongoing public discourse around the preservation and adaptation of the many town halls left affected by municipal reform in Norway. The studio will provide a basic introduction to aspects of the history and techniques of preservation. For students to develop their understanding of urban preservation, it is strongly recommended to take the Urban Preservation elective course taught by Even Smith Wergeland with this studio. Working and learning activities The studio will be divided into two stages: The first stage will use the survey as a record of the spatial relationship between the town hall, its users, and the larger urban context of the municipality. Students will collaboratively amass an index of municipal systems. Students will survey elements of the building and its relationship to the wider area through a variety of techniques of measurement and recording. Qualitative judgements will be suspended whilst quantitative research is accumulated. The survey will include urban planning, procurement processes, maintenance specifications, and most importantly the physical performance of local governance. During the second and more extensive phase, students will use these ingredients to form the basis of individual design proposals for Asker Town Hall. These architectural interventions will negotiate the scale of the user, the building, and the wider urban context. We will develop proposals for the adaptation and appropriation of the Town Hall, and in doing so, generate a personal approach to preservation. Teaching will consist of twice weekly desk tutorials, seminars, pin-ups and reviews with invited critiques. Students are expected to be active participants in group conversations, to attend all studio meetings, pin-ups and reviews, while keeping up with a rigorous level of production. In combination with the studio meetings, the course will involve numerous trips to Asker Town Hall as well as related institutional buildings around Norway. A series of joint seminars and workshops will be organized in collaboration with Asker Kommune in Norway and with the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London. The studio will be evaluated by submitting assignments and participation, judged as “passed” or “not passed” (according to AHO regulations for master studies). Mandatory coursework Courseworks required Presence required Comment Presence required Not required Attendance: Students are expected to be present and working during all studio meetings, which occur twice a week.

Santa Barbara-based Trampolines Unlimited Inc. has manufactured a wide variety of custom trampolines, vaulting boards and foam pits for gymnastics clubs, private homes and the entertainment industry since 1975. In 2008, the company started to design and fabricate custom trampoline parks. An innovator in the trampoline park industry, TUI has built 14 parks across the United States for clients, and recently decided to open Cloud 10 Jump Club in Santa Barbara as its flagship park and corporate headquarters.
Dan Moll of Hayes Commercial Group worked hard with TUI to find the right space. In addition to location, size and ceiling height were obviously crucial factors in finding a suitable building.
Having 18-foot ceilings, the 18,800-square-foot space at 187 S. Turnpike Road, formerly occupied by Craft Essentials in the Turnpike Shopping Center, fit the requirement. Even with ceilings that high, TUI will excavate the floors and build all the trampolines at ground level.
TUI has prioritized safety throughout its history, which is reflected in the design, materials and staff training at its existing trampoline parks. During the past several years, TUI worked with the American Society of Testing and Materials to set new standards for trampoline courts, which were recently passed.
“We are now ready to bring all we have learned and created to Santa Barbara and keep everyone on ‘Cloud 10,'" said Suzanne Wolfe Jewell, vice president of operations and safety.
The health benefits of trampolines include increased leg and core strength, optical tracking, peripheral vision and fear management, as well as calorie burning and weight loss.
“The inherent fun of trampoline disguises the amount of energy being expended,” Jewell said. “Trampoline training adds a youthful, fun factor, making it a great workout for all ages."
Cloud 10 will have a “Cloud Kid” area — a space just for kids with custom trampolines designed just for their size and abilities and a huge indoor play structure. The club will feature an open jump court, dodgeball and basketball courts, and a 40-foot trampoline half-pipe with a foam pit. It will also have a large spring floor used for tumbling classes, camps, clinics and volleyball on Friday and Saturday nights.
The club will be available for parties and corporate events. Cloud 10 will sell hourly jump bracelets, and “Frequent Flyer” memberships will be available for extra benefits, discounts and invitations to special events.

Cloud 10 is scheduled to open by the end of 2013.

This feature is available completely free. While we will be keeping an eye on how feasible it is to eat the costs associated, we hope to keep it that way. Just click "Listen with Drawabox"! Drawing from your wrist and shoulder This video demonstrates the difference between drawing from your wrist, elbow, and shoulder, the benefits of each, and why in this course we focus primarily on drawing from your shoulder. As always, watching the video first, then later reading through the text will help you absorb the material more efficiently than just doing one or the other. Don't be afraid to come back and rewatch or reread material either, to help refresh your memory later on. Old habits Thanks to the importance of literacy in our society, and the fact that handwriting is still an important skill in our day to day lives (at least for now), most students equate the mechanics of drawing to those of writing. We use pencils and pens, pushing the tip into the page, and we move our hand from the wrist to write. This is very effective for creating the tight twists and turns necessary for small letters, but as soon as we try to draw longer, smoother lines, we start to run up against its limitations. The pivots of the arm As you likely know by now, your arm has three major joints, and when we hold an object in our hand, we can manipulate the position of that object in space by bending our hand at any of the following pivots: Wrist Elbow Shoulder The specific pivot you choose will determine the range of motion you can achieve. Moving from the wrist will only allow you to move across a more limited distance, and will quickly start following a very obvious arc. Moving from the elbow, and even moreso from the shoulder, will allow you to maintain a straighter trajectory longer before the arc of the motion becomes more obvious. Let's keep it simple For the sake of simplification, we can ignore the elbow, and focus instead on the idea of either: Drawing only with your wrist, where your hand moves but the wrist remains pinned in place. This allows us to have very tight, stiff control, and it's good for tight details and writing. Drawing with your whole arm, where everything, including your upper arm, is moving as you draw. This is great for smooth, fluid linework, even when drawing smaller marks, because it emphasizes a consistent trajectory and minimizes erratic wobbling. Do you mean I can't ever draw with my wrist or elbow? That's not what I'm saying at all. Every pivot serves its purpose, and while the majority of this course will focus on marks that need to achieve a smooth, confident flow (which is best achieved from the shoulder), there are situations where you'll use your wrist. For example, in the few areas where we delve into texture, the wrist's capacity for stiff precision will be an advantage. And of course, when doing your own drawings outside of Drawabox, you're welcome to draw however you feel most comfortable. The rules presented here apply only to work done for this course. You'll be able to choose which parts you want to use outside of it yourself. The path of least resistance Drawing with your whole arm is, frankly, difficult. Or more accurately, it's unfamiliar and unpracticed. We've spent years writing from our wrists, and so the muscles involved are far better developed than those needed to draw with your entire arm. As such, we end up facing more resistance, especially as beginners, when we try to use it. It gets exhausting, and we get sore quickly. That muscle weakness can also make it harder to be confident with our linework. That's why when we face the choice of how we're going to use our arm to make a mark, when we're faced with two paths to choose from, using our whole arm poses far more resistance. We naturally want to go down the easier road, to draw in the familiar fashion, from the wrist. It is for this reason that this course forces you to draw from your shoulder in most cases. I cannot stress this enough: be patient with yourself. Do not rush, do not force yourself. Take breaks, and allow the work to take as long as it needs to. You only have one body, and to break it so early would be a tragedy. Hover-hand Resting some part of your arm on the page is a pretty normal thing people do, as it provides additional support and helps us draw for longer without as much fatigue. This can result in more friction and dragging, however, which can make it easier for us to fall back to drawing from certain pivots and not engaging our whole arm. Gently resting the side of your hand or a finger on the page as you draw is fine. It will drag a little, but as long as you're aware of it and catch yourself whenever you slip back to drawing from your wrist, it'll be okay. The added support is well worth it. Resting your elbow against the table as you draw however is not a good idea. It creates a very heavy anchor that basically forces you to draw from your elbow and freezes your whole upper arm. Avoid this wherever possible. Drawing with your whole hand and arm hovering will result in no such dragging or friction, but it's not always worth the exhaustion especially as we're still developing our shoulder muscles. You may want to practice this in the future, but for now, don't worry about it. How to hold your pen Some people are familiar with the 'overhand' grip one might use when drawing with a pencil, or painting with a brush. While it is often presented as "the correct grip that no one taught you!" it isn't as simple as that. The grip serves a function. Pencils for example can be used to make marks from the tip as well as from their side edges, and often you'll see artists exposing more of their pencil's lead to get more of those broad, flat sides. Using an overhand grip allows us to access those surfaces more easily while drawing. Pens on the other hand have just one point of contact - the tip - and we can vary our mark through the pressure applied to it. For this, the tripod grip-type (which is basically how you hold your pen when writing) is more suitable, and is how you should be holding your pen when drawing as well.

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list. The Science of Deciding What You Should Draw Right from when students hit the 50% rule early on in Lesson 0, they ask the same question - "What am I supposed to draw?" It's not magic. We're made to think that when someone just whips off interesting things to draw, that they're gifted in a way that we are not. The problem isn't that we don't have ideas - it's that the ideas we have are so vague, they feel like nothing at all. In this course, we're going to look at how we can explore, pursue, and develop those fuzzy notions into something more concrete. Getting Your Work Critiqued Having your work reviewed by others is critical, as those who are just starting out aren't in a position to properly judge their own work, and won't be for quite some time. Don't be afraid to show your struggles - it's by analyzing your mistakes that we can help you grow. Perfect homework is not what we're looking for; we just need it to be complete. There are currently two places you can get your work critiqued by the community - Reddit and our Discord Chat Server. Both of these are completely free. Private Patreon Critiques If you are interested in receiving extra help, I critique the work of those who support Drawabox on Patreon. All of these private critiques are done through reddit, in specific threads where students post their work as a comment, including a link to their work (often hosted on Imgur, though most image hosts are okay). My requirements are more strict than the free community critiques: You must complete the lessons in order, in their entirety, starting from lesson 1 All work for the lesson must be completed - that means all exercises in the lesson, not just those in a given section You may only move onto the next lesson once the previous has been marked complete The work must be done in the tools recommended in the lesson The minimum pledge for this lesson is $5.00/month. The orange button above will take you to the reddit thread for this lesson, you can post a link to your work there and I'll be notified. Once I catch the submission, I'll add it to this backlog spreadsheet. Pledges are collected at the beginning of the following month, but you may start submitting your work immediately.

Security services in Pakistan have found a new means to target ISIS militants - the Russian app Telegram.
They have succeeded in arresting and killing a number of ISIS militants in Peshawar after members of the group were found chatting on Telegram where a selfie uncovered the location of the plot.
Muhammad Farid, a 23-year-old ISIS militant, was arrested on June 24 during a security raid on a flour mill in the outskirts of Peshawar where the group was planning a massive attack.
Farid confessed to interrogators after arrest that he had killed 32 people including 15 policemen and five sex workers Express Tribune reported.
However, it was the Afghan citizen’s phone revealed to security officials ISIS’s preferred method of communication.
Tracking communication
“Almost all communication was through the Telegram app,” said a Counter Terrorism Department official. “The aliases they used were common names which they changed often. They were mostly communicating with their group in Afghanistan.”
Telegram, a Russian chat app, has approximately 100 million users and has been giving law enforcement headaches the world over as it has end-to-end encryption, is difficult to crack, and has messages that self-destruct.
Furthermore, Telegram has group chat options where ISIS members were sharing potential target information.
“We found a list of 12 people who the group [in the flour mill] had identified when it was busted,” said an intelligence official who asked to remain unnamed as he is not authorized to speak to the media. “Most of these targets were randomly chosen from Facebook and Twitter on sectarian grounds.”
Vanity kills
In Farid’s cell phone, investigators found a selfie. And while his face did not say much, it was the nine-pane window in the background that they picked up on, the report said.
The window panel in the background was a targeted location and security personnel found, 10 days later, after an extensive search,
Encrypted data
Data for three months from the cell phones found in the flour mill operation showed that the men had made no calls but their combined internet usage exceeded 18 gigabytes, confirming to investigators the way IS was communicating.
The men were trained to use the app in Afghanistan. Once they learnt that it was being tracked, they tried to shift to another encrypted app called Signal. “They were more advanced than some countries in their communications,” remarked one official.
ISIS has been highly effective in its use of social media and the internet in general, but it is also proficient in using old-school methods such as throwing pamphlets at the scene of an attack. ISIS graffiti was reported in parts of Peshawar a long time back, but the police initially publicly dismissed it as pranks to avoid creating panic.

This gut wrenching scene is hard to imagine.
Two Asian American men had to be held back by California Highway Patrol Officers as their van was engulfed in flames and their two wives and four children were burning to death inside, reports KABC.
The men tried to save their loved ones along the side of the road in Gorman, a couple of hours outside Los Angeles, and at one point, officers joined in their efforts.
But their valiant efforts proved impossible. The two fathers, Aaron Hon Wing Ng, 34, of San Francisco and Wei Xiong Li, 45, of Daly City, had suffered burns and officers had no choice but to end the rescue efforts.
The families were on their way to Los Angeles for vacation when their minivan rear ended a BMW. The men went outside to inspect the damage. Their minivan which was still partially in the roadway and was then rear ended by a big rig. The families’ vehicle ended up in a ravine and caught fire.
“Words can’t describe what that was like when we arrived on scene,” Officer Dan Williams said. “It was very horrific seeing them trying to get their families out, us trying to help get their families out. Like I said, the van went up in flames very, very quickly.”

When she’s not defending corporate polluters accused of releasing toxic substances, Nessa Coppinger is in court suing her neighbor for smoking in the privacy of his own home.
Coppinger is a principal of the firm Beveridge & Diamond, where she takes the lead on cases of corporations being sued for harming the environment. One example, found by Republic Report, has Coppinger defending Suncoke Energy, Inc., whose operations have allegedly produced “sludge-like deposits, strong odors, particulates, lead, mercury, arsenic, chromium, creosote, coal tar pitch, coal tar pitch volatiles” hydrocarbons, sulfur dioxide and other substances.
The 38-year-old lawyer, along with her husband, Brendan (also a lawyer) are suing their Washington, D.C., neighbor Edwin Gray because smoke from his cigarettes and marijuana was filtering into the Coppinger’s home.
Nessa Coppinger told The Washington Post that Gray’s smoking was “a health concern” for them and their child. “We don’t smoke,” Coppinger said. “We don’t allow smoking in our home.”
An inspection of the homes found a crack in Gray’s chimney was allowing smoke into the Coppinger home.
They want Gray, and his sister who owns the house, to pay them $500,000 in damages for negligence, nuisance and trespassing, saying the smoke has intruded on their property. They’ve already gotten D.C. Superior Court Judge Ronna Lee Beck to issue an order banning smoking in Gray’s house.
“I’m a nervous wreck,” Gray, who lives on disability checks, told The Washington Post. “I’m a grown man. They passed a law that says you can smoke marijuana in my house. I can’t do anything now. What if I’m in here frying chicken and they complain they smell smoke? She going to send the marshals to come get me?”

Rural areas of Washington, a bulwark of Trump support last November, face the prospect of hospital shutdowns if Republicans ram through their health care plans, with health care more difficult even for the insured, Sen. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., and Dr. Paul Ramsey, told a Wednesday town meeting.
The town meeting, the first held by a Washington senator this year, packed the Roethke Auditorium at the University of Washington's Kane Hall. It drew rambling questions, but provided Cantwell an opportunity to "Geek out" -- her words -- on the intricacies of health care.
One key argument: The Senate Republican health plan, unveiled last week, will bring political trauma to hospitals big and small.
Tom Dickerson, a physical therapist, asked Cantwell about rural hospitals closing, at the height of the opioid epidemic, if Medicaid reimbursements get cut or taken away.
"Millions of rural people, insured or not, are going to lose their access to emergency care," said Cantwell. She cited additional economic impacts, adding: "You won't want to do business in places where you can't get health care."
At some places in Central Washington, Cantwell said, "up to 60 percent" of costs are covered by Medicaid. Thirty-one states, including Washington, have expanded Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act.
Ramsey, dean/CEO of the UW School of Medicine which includes Harborview Hospital, elaborated after the meeting, speaking of impacts both rural and in America's fastest growing city.
"The Medicaid cuts could be devastating at the urban level," he said. "They would be felt by Level 1 trauma centers, such as Harborview, but also to rural hospitals."
Harborview is one of America's major trauma centers. It provides emergency care to Washington residents, but also to injured persons from Alaska and Montana. Ramsey was asked specifically about the GOP plan unveiled last week by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
"The magnitude of Medicaid cuts to University of Washington Medicine, over a 10-year period, would be over $1 billion," said Ramsey. "The majority of cuts would be to Harborview."
The town hall was, in part, a Seattle liberals venting session. Several listeners demanded of Cantwell why America can't have a single payer health system. She gently reminded listeners that Republicans control Congress, with priority now on defending the Affordable Care Act.
At the same time, Cantwell tabled a new option, for possible use if a draconian plan is rammed through Congress.
The West has a record of delivering better care at lower cost. "If we can bundle states, and form a larger market, and drive down costs, I am for it," said Cantwell, a member of the Senate Finance Committee, adding a moment later: "Washington, Alaska, Oregon, California -- I'm sure we can supply better health care."

Bride-To-Be Diary: How To Plan A Wedding (Step-By-Step Guide) Skip to content Home About Us Resources Events Get Quote April 13, 2021 Diary Of A Bride-To-Be: How To Plan A Wedding (Step-By-Step Guide) Your wedding is one of the most important days of your life. This sentence sounds cliché, but it’s true. Emotions run high when you’re getting hitched, which is why you need everything else to run smoothly. And through everything else, we mean your wedding. A wedding planner knows how to foresee and arrange for all those nitty-gritty details. But, if you can’t afford one, you can either get a wedding loan to cover the costs or plan your own. Make sure you tick the list below, which by the way, is super simple, and you won’t have to worry about any loose threads. 1. Budget You need a clear budget before starting to plan your wedding. Otherwise, you can get caught up in the spending and spin into much debt. This includes the lure of credit cards where they make it so easy to overspend. That’s why you need an honest talk with your partner and families. You have to figure out: – How much you’re willing to set aside – If you can save more money before the wedding – If you’re willing/ able to take out an affordable loan You should also consider expenses that include the start of your married life, such as: Your honeymoon; if you want to see the world, now’s your chance Purchasing your dream home and new furniture Accommodating a new baby if you and your partner are pregnant or planning to soon Getting a wedding loan to cover any of the above costs. You can easily get the lowest quote for free here. 2. Type Of Wedding Before delving into the details, you’ll have to outline the bigger picture. But, if you’re getting married, you’re probably mature enough to know your style. Do you want a loud, wonderland wedding or a quiet wedding by the beach? How elaborate do you want your wedding to be? Whether formal, bohemian, intimate, or hipster-ish, your ceremony shouldn’t be influenced by your budget. Cosy weddings with few people can become very expensive if you’re ordering caviar for everyone. Conversely, formal ceremonies can cost very little if you know where to get the best deals. For couples who are more traditional, they may want to have a Guo Da Li as well. Check out our guide on Guo Da Li planning. Still, it’s worth pondering on your setting: indoors vs outdoors, garden vs beach, restaurant vs villa. Tip: While you’re at it, consider some wedding themes too. 3. Guest List Ah, the guest list, this ever sore point of contention that tests your marriage before it begins! Good. Now you and your partner will know if you’re genuinely soul mates. Trust us, your parents or grandparents might want you to invite the entire village. Firstly, you, your partner, and your families have to draft a guest list. Put these lists together and see if the people you’ve selected fit your budget. If not, consider: – Invite your closest friends, especially those who have seen you and your partner grow. – Close family and relatives – Your siblings and cousins – Close comrades from work – Limit the number of estranged relatives you’re inviting – Ask your parents to limit their guests 4. Venue After you know your budget, wedding style, and guest list, you can select a venue that fits all these factors. Make sure you book it in advance so that there aren’t any problems with your wedding date. Here are some tips: 1) Visit several venues that fit your style. 2) Make sure you can arrange the tables in a way that makes all your guests happy 3) Check the number of bathrooms 4) Check how slippery the dance floor is 5) Ensure there’s good visibility for everyone 6) Check the lighting 7) Check the food and drinks offers. Ensure they can cater to all guests, such as vegan, children, or people with allergies After you’ve selected your venue and your wedding list, there might be one more thing to solve: transportation. This can be a problem if: – You’re holding the party in a very remote park or beach in Singapore – You’re having the party abroad – You’re inviting relatives from abroad 5. Wedding Outfits – Wedding Gowns Plan your wedding outfits by looking for excellent ideas on Pinterest. Once you’ve decided on the right style for your dress and suit, you can: – Start analysing bridal boutiques. Visit plenty to make sure they have the right style. There are many popular bridal shops along Tanjong Pagar that offers a wide range of designs. – Consider a bespoke gown or suit if you want a unique look. – If you have a reduced budget, consider: Borrowing or renting your wedding dress (well, you only wear them one), modifying your mother’s old wedding gown, purchasing a second-hand wedding gown. Tip: Set aside plenty of time for this activity. If you do it in a hurry, your wedding outfits won’t look perfect. 6. Wedding Photographer Take a picture, it lasts longer. Your photo and video album is the keeper of all your memories. So, your photographer has to be highly skilled in wedding shots. At the same time, you don’t want a photographer that’s too intrusive and overbearing. The best wedding photographer is an experienced photographer. Therefore, the best advice is to shortlist a few photographers that fit your budget and style. Analyse their portfolios and check their online reviews. Afterwards, arrange face-to-face meetings with them to see if you like each other’s visions. Tip: Remember to make your booking a few months before the wedding. 7. Entertainment Choose the right entertainment for your wedding by weighing all your options according to your budget. If you have a limited budget, it’s okay to invite a DJ or ask one of your friends to play music. Live music is always welcomed! Otherwise, you can consider live artists, performers, and musicians. Allocate at least $1,000 for this alternative. 8. Hair & Makeup You’ll also have to think about how you want to look. Hair, makeup, and nails are essential for both partners. Don’t neglect waxing! So, consider all the things you want before the wedding and know when to set them up. For example, you can’t tweeze your eyebrows, wax, or colour your hair right before the wedding. These procedures may leave your skin sensitive and sore. Besides, beauty procedures such as eyebrow embroidery will look weird for the first few weeks. It takes time to settle and look natural. Other things you can include here are: – Facials – Hair and face treatments – Brow embroidery Ideally, you’d need about a month between these beauty treatments and your wedding. However, you can schedule a relaxing massage a day or two before your wedding. That means you’ll need to plan several visits to your stylist before the wedding. You should also consider a trial hairdo and makeup to ensure you look just like you envisioned. Again, the best advice is to shortlist several saloons according to your budget. If you have a friend who “does hair” or attaches “faux nails”, let them know they’ll have to go through the same eliminatory process as everyone. 9. Wedding Stylist Some people don’t have an innate sense of esthetics. So, even if you feel that some colours or some patterns clash, you might not be able to put your finger on the problem. That’s why you should consider a wedding stylist if this option fits your budget. This person assists with expert advice about wedding design. They work with your preferences so that you can have all the details in the right places, such as balloons, flowers, and photo display. 10. Flowers A wedding without flowers is tough to imagine. But hey, if you can, feel free to skip this step. Otherwise, take into account: Your style and the type of wedding you’re planning. For example, white tulips look amazing informal settings, whereas wildflowers are better suited for bo-ho ceremonies. The flowers’ symbolism. If you’re superstitious, check out the meaning of various flowers before selecting the ones you want to include. The colours. Make sure your wedding flowers fit your wedding’s colour palette. If you have an eclectic wedding, you can wing it with a variety of colours and patterns. However, if you’re ceremony is rather formal, you’d need to pick more sober colours. Organic vs non-organic flowers. If living a green life is essential for you, take into account where your flowers have grown and in what conditions. By now, you already know you have to visit several florists before making your choice. Consider all the factors above plus your budget before shortlisting your options. 11. Officiant Who do you want to officiate your ceremony? Some people prefer pastors or priests, while others prefer solemnisers. Consider these questions before choosing: – Are you or your parnter of a specific faith? – Would you like to pay respect to an older relative or parent by choosing a specific officiant? – Would you like the religious/ spiritual ceremony in a specific place, such as the church where you were baptised or the beach you had a spiritual revelation? – What are the points where you and your partner can compromise? – Do you have a specific person that you’d prefer to solemnise your marriage? – Would you rather elope, get married at the civil office, or have a lavish ceremony? 12. Invitations Luckily, Pinterest is swarming with invitation models. You can create customised models that reflect you and your partner’s unique style, such as funny, sober, or laid-back. Just make sure these invitations fit your wedding style and budget. Make sure you mail them with plenty of time in advance so that anyone can RSVP. You can also consider e-vites if you want to protect the environment. Besides, e-vites help you keep track of your guest list seamlessly. Otherwise, if you’re creating bespoke invitations, leave plenty of time for printing, sending, and answering. 13. Bridesmaids and Groomsmen This is the fun part. You and your partner’s best friends should be involved in the wedding. Remember that there’s no rule about the size of your wedding party. However, your budget can pose severe constraints, especially if you need to pay for more people’s outfits. Also, if you have more flower girls, you’ll need to purchase more flowers. The solution is simple, if you consider renting these outfits or if your wedding party pays for their suits. 14. Rings Other than the engagement ring, you will also need wedding bands. Rings cost a lot of money in Singapore and abroad, especially if they’re made from gold. On the bright side, gold rings are not as popular as other materials today. However, depending on their carats, weight, and design, you can get away with a decent-looking $500 band. Thus, you’ll need to do your research well in advance. Look at models you like within different shops or customise bespoke bands, depending on your budget. Don’t have a lot of money? Consider melting second-hand jewellery or family heirloom rings! 15. Party Favours Many venues offer favours included in the wedding package. Often, you can choose between a few options. However, you may want to create unique party favours. Ensure these mementoes fit with your wedding style. It’s popular nowadays to feature an interactive bar where people can make their favours, such as origami or aromatic mixes. However, this alternative doesn’t fit formal wedding parties. Another affordable option is to rent a photo booth. Guests can have their pictures taken with whacky props, making your wedding a splendid and memorable one! 16. Bachelor / Bachelorette Party The bachelor and bachelorette parties offer you precious moments of respite before the wedding. You can forget all the party planning stress and lay back with your closest friends. At the same time, the hen’s and stag’s parties allow you one last hoorah before you tie the knot. Conversely, many modern-day couples prefer to unite these parties and have all their friends together in a casual setting before the big day. Tip: Plan these events at least a week or two before the wedding because you don’t want to be too hungover then. 17. Marriage License Don’t forget this step if you want to get married. You need to file a Notice of Marriage online at least 21 days before your big date in Singapore. Next, you’ll have to arrange a meeting at the Registry of Marriage to check your paperwork and sign a statutory declaration. After going through these steps, you can go ahead with your wedding solemnisation. Just make sure your officiant is licensed and that you have two witnesses of at least 21 years old. 18. Wedding Day Schedule Ensure that everything goes smoothly during your actual wedding day because trust us, you don’t want any glitches. You can handwrite a list with all the times and activities that everyone should do. Using Google Sheets is an excellent solution if you want to coordinate more people because everyone sees your updates instantly. Our advice, though, is to keep your wedding day schedule to a minimum. Just make sure everyone gets to suitable venues on time. That’s it! We’ve covered all the most critical points of your wedding planning. If you follow the advice above, you’ll have the dream wedding you envision!

European leaders are seeking growth as a way to attenuate the social consequences of austerity measures. But simply giving money to the countries of Southern Europe, which do not have the adequate economic foundations, is a pipe dream, warns a Swedish commentator.
If the picture painted by politicians is to be believed, the new aid package which will replace the old aid package will ensure conditions favourable to economic growth in the countries of Southern Europe. Yet this vision of the future resembles the missed opportunities of yesteryear. Does anyone really believe that the European debt crisis is behind us?
Until now, we've settled for pushing down hard on the brake and for treating the symptoms of the crisis. Everybody must belt tighten, willingly or unwillingly.
Once again, European leaders did what they do best: stalled for time. They intend to use it to favour economic growth, the only means to get out of the crisis. Growth that can be achieved only if everybody pulls their weight. This congenial and certainly true creed is repeated like a mantra by the major European leaders.
But is it also realistic? One sometimes has the impression that the political class only has a very vague idea of how the economy really works in some countries of Eastern or Southern Europe. There, slogans such as "reforms" or "growth" evoke nothing more than false hopes and pure fantasy.
The dilemma is particularly flagrant in Eastern Europe. When the communist regimes fell, the former economies were scrapped. The factories were closed or they went bankrupt. From one day to the next, or just about, every consumer good was replaced, from toothpaste to margarine including panty-liners, refrigerators, sofas and automobiles.
For consumers in the Eastern countries, this was a true blessing. In the blink of an eye, they went from dearth to abundance. The only problem was the Eastern countries did not have the money to buy all of these Western products. The populations of those countries were thus offered generous loans by the newly established commercial banks, they too of Western origin. The result is that these are now economies that generally produce little and rest only on the precarious perch of indebtedness.
A good part of Southern Europe finds itself in a comparable situation – with shrunken production, insignificant exports, and high debt. In Southern Europe, the introduction of the euro, paradoxically, had effects similar to that of the fall of the Wall. For the first time these countries had access to "real" – and cheap – financial loans, as if the Peloponnese or Estremadura were in the Rhineland or neighbouring on Bavaria.
Such an opportunity undoubtedly comes along only once in a lifetime. For nearly ten years, a deluge of loans flooded into Southern Europe. This money could have been used to build the foundations of self-sustaining economic growth – if investments had been made in infrastructure, in the overhaul of the State, in consolidating entire segments of industry or in education. Instead, it was thrown out the window.
Today, as new aid replaces the old, we are told it will allow the creation of conditions necessary for the expected change in the countries of Southern Europe and for their economic growth. Yet, we have already let this opportunity slip away; it is already behind us. The vision of the future sketched by European leaders resembles yesterday's lost opportunities.
Humans create more problems than solutions. [The late Swedish Prime Minister] Olof Palme used to say that the resolution of a problem – and thus of politics – is a question of will. For Karl Marx, the solution consists of becoming aware of what is indispensible. So be it. Neither of these two approaches can do any harm.
But it is undoubtedly Bismarck who was the shrewdest by declaring that politics is "the art of the possible" and that, therefore, solutions must be sought in what is concretely achievable. Even a mediocre economist or politician is able to find the miracle cure for Greece's economic woes but it would have as little chance of being adopted as one has of getting a Turkish coffee in Athens.
The question is what a number of European countries will live off of in the future given the current context of globalisation. No one seems to have the answer. All that is known is that life styles will have to change radically and that China, much more than Germany, is responsible for this situation. | positive |

The Mass Effect 3 ending protests continue, this time with a mass letter-writing campaign.
Upset fans continue to make their presence known in the Hold The Line movement. This time fans are taking a page from Miracle on 34th Street.
Operation Letter Tsunami aims to flood the offices of BioWare with fan-letters expressing their discontent with the game's ending, and attempting to point out once again just how important the extended cut DLC is in mending fences.
"We want to send letters and not just some letters," according to the Operation Letter Tsunami home page. "We want enough letters to fill the entire building. Many people have great ideas for the letters. Rather than just pick one and limit the choices, we will send them all. We will send postcards. We will send POV letters. We will send artwork. We will send them all."
As I've said previously, I certainly don't begrudge fans for doing this. All industries should be so lucky to have such passionate fans.
Still, I can't help but wonder if we're seeing diminishing returns at this point. The DLC is in the works. I'm pretty sure that no matter how much BioWare dodged and spun with their PR deflections, they still get the point, loud and clear. Whether they succeed at satisfying fans at this point is up in the air, but I don't think more counter-PR efforts are going to have much of an effect at this point.
On the one hand, making sure the issue remains at least somewhat in the public eye is important. But with each passing week it becomes less so. The utility of protests diminishes. As we drift further and further from the Mass Effect 3 release, and closer and closer toward the extended cut DLC, these efforts start to have less of an impact, reach less of an audience.
That being said, if this is what you feel passionate about - why not send a few letters? Consumer participation is important in the same way that voter participation is important. Yes, at a certain point many people will simply give up and walk away. But there's no rule that says you have to.
For my part I think the best course of action is simply to wait and see. In purely pragmatic terms, it may be the only option. The DLC is in development. BioWare has listened to its fan base and now we'll find out if they've also heard what their fan base has to say. The wheels are in motion. The plans have been made. Nothing anyone does at this point will change that.
So cross your fingers, or hold the line, or even hold your wallet. But at this point, I'd urge patience. Maybe even cautious optimism. Time will tell.

During a 1983 family vacation, Mitt Romney drove 12 hours with his dog on top of the car in a windshield-equipped carrier.[1][2][3][4] This incident became the subject of negative media attention and political attacks on Romney in both the 2008 and the 2012 presidential elections.
Road trip in 1983 [ edit ]
In June 1983, the Romney family left their Belmont, Massachusetts home on their way to Romney's parents' cottage in Beach O'Pines, Ontario for an annual vacation along the shore of Lake Huron. Seamus rode in a carrier on the roof of the family's Chevrolet Caprice station wagon for the 12 hour trip. Romney had built a windshield for the carrier to make the ride more comfortable for the dog.[1] During the 650-mile (1,050 km) trip, Seamus got diarrhea. Romney stopped at a gas station to wash the dog, the carrier and the car. With Seamus back in the carrier, the family continued on their way.[1][2]
Seamus the dog [ edit ]
Seamus ( SHAY-məs), an Irish Setter, was an active, outgoing dog, and was the Romney family's first pet dog.[5] It is generally reported that, a few years after his ride to Canada, Seamus was given to Mitt Romney's sister, Jane Romney Robinson of California, who said, "He kept ending up at the pound. They were worried about him getting hit crossing the street. We had more space, so he could roam more freely."[6] The dog's date of death is unknown, but Robinson stated that Seamus lived to a "ripe old age" on her farm in California.[7]
Family response [ edit ]
When interviewed by Chris Wallace of Fox News, Romney stated that Seamus enjoyed being in the dog carrier, an "air-tight kennel", and that he was not aware of any violations of Massachusetts law;[8] the state's animal cruelty laws prohibit anyone from carrying an animal "in or upon a vehicle, or otherwise, in an unnecessarily cruel or inhuman manner."[9] Ann Romney, Mitt Romney's wife, has stated that the news media exaggerated the severity of the incident, and compared traveling in the roof-top dog carrier to riding a motorcycle or riding in the bed of a pickup truck.[5] During an April 2012 interview with ABC News, Diane Sawyer asked Mitt Romney about the Seamus story and if he would ever do it again. Romney replied, "He loves it, it's his favorite.", after which Sawyer stated, "You said it was the most wounding thing in the campaign so far", although it's ambiguous whether Romney agreed with this statement. During the same interview, Ann Romney stated that Seamus got diarrhea from eating turkey off the table before the trip and that the dog loved the crate.[10][11] Romney stated that he loved his dog.[12]
Other responses [ edit ]
In 2007, it was reported that Ingrid Newkirk, president of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), criticized Romney about this incident.[13] Responding to PETA, Romney said, "my dog likes fresh air".[14]
Newkirk has elaborated (speaking for herself rather than for PETA) that the Seamus incident irritates her because "there are far more serious issues to talk about" regarding mistreatment of animals.[15]
During the 2012 U.S. Republican presidential primaries, candidate Newt Gingrich aired an anti-Romney attack ad that featured the story.[16][17][18] While appearing on the ABC show This Week, Republican candidate Rick Santorum stated, "As far as Seamus the dog ... the issues of character are important in this election. We need to look at all those issues and make a determination as to whether that's the kind of person [Romney] you want to be president of the United States."[19] Santorum's view was at odds with that of Bill Wasik, senior editor of Wired Magazine: "Yet looking back on the Seamus Romney story today, what is most striking is its forgettability, how indistinguishable it seems in retrospect from the idiots' parade of meaningless stories that came to define the [2008] campaign."[20]
Journalists Mike Allen and Evan Thomas assert that Romney did nothing unusual: "Overlooked in the clucking over the incident is the fact that the dog was in a crate, probably little different from the dog kennels used to transport animals in the cold-storage compartments of airplanes. Romney had erected a barrier to shield the family pet from the wind. Romney, the family man heading to the lake, didn't seem heartless at the time. But politics is a heartless business."[21]
Journalist Ruth Marcus of The Washington Post defended Mitt Romney's treatment of Seamus, stating, "Doesn't the fact that Romney chose to bring the dog on the family vacation, rather than dump him in a kennel back home, suggest that he's a dog lover, not a hater?"[22] Neil Swidey, The Boston Globe journalist who wrote the initial article about Romney's 1983 road trip, stated, "[Seamus] always struck me as a valuable window into how Romney operates. In everything the guy does, he functions on logic, not emotion."[23]
A Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey found that 74% of Democrats, 66% of Independents, and 63% of Republicans consider it inhumane to put a family dog in a kennel on the roof of a car. The poll did not mention the windshield. The poll also found that 35% of voters would be less likely to vote for Romney because of the Seamus incident, whereas 55% of voters said that it would not affect how they vote.[24] As of September 2012, New York Times columnist Gail Collins had mentioned the Romneys' car trip more than 70 times.[25][26][27]
Responding to Democrats who emphasized the Seamus story, conservative bloggers such as Jim Treacher drew a comparison between the Seamus incident and Barack Obama sampling dog meat as a child in Indonesia, where it is a local delicacy, as mentioned in Obama's autobiography.[28][29] While an Obama spokesman called it an attack on a small child, Obama himself has displayed a sense of humor about it.[A][15]
At the 2012 White House Correspondent's Association dinner, Obama poked fun at Romney releasing an "advertisement" depicting Romney and Seamus.[30] | positive |

A fourth person was arrested for reportedly stripping and molesting a girl in a busy area here even as an insensitive remark by Assam's DGP over the incident earned him a rebuke by Union Home Minister P Chidambaram.
The arrested four were among the 16 persons who were identified in connection with the incident in front of a bar on the Guwahati-Shillong Road on Monday night, which led to a public outcry after a video of the assault by a TV channel was uploaded on Youtube. After his force was slammed for delayed action, Assam DGP Jayanta Narayan Chowdhury said police is not like an "ATM machine" which can be present at the crime scene the moment one inserts a card in the machine.
Chidambaram said on Friday no one should make light of an incident of molesting a woman or molesting a child and strongly condemned if any one tried to do so. "If they have tried to make light of the incident I strongly condemn it. No one should make light of an incident of molesting a woman or molesting a child," he told reporters in Chandigarh.
The minister said he would get in touch with Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi over the incident. The Home Minister was asked by a newsman to comment on Chowdhury's ATM machine remark and another remark by a senior police officer that the incident has been played up by the media in Delhi when molestation of girls from the North East in the national capital are brushed aside and suggesting that Delhi was a "rape capital". "The remark is in poor taste.
There is no such thing as rape capital. Every incident of molestation is condemnable," he added. National Commission for Women (NCW) chairperson Mamta Sharma also slammed the state police for the 'ATM machine remark’ and condemned the delay in action. When asked to comment on the controversy generated by his remark, Chowdhury said sometimes it is immediately not possible to initiate action but he was critical of passersby and those who took the video for not alerting the police.
As soon as the video showing the minor girl being molested by a mob in full public view went viral, a hoarding showing the pictures of some of the accused was put up with a caption that they have shamed the Assamese society. "One more person has been arrested and 12 others have been identified," Chowdhury told PTI.
"Thanks to the prompt media coverage we have got the video clip of the brawl and have identified 12 of them. We will take strong action against the guilty,” the DGP said. Narrating the sequence of events, Chowdhury said, four girls and two boys, apparently known to each other, entered the bar on Monday night, where they subsequently had a brawl and were forced outside by the establishment’s security.
"When the six came out on the streets, local people taking advantage of the situation pushed and pulled one of the girls and attempted to strip and molest her," the DGP said. "The police were alerted and they reached the scene immediately after the incident and rescued the girl," he said. Asked about the safety of women in Guwahati, the DGP said, "This incident does not prove that there are predators lurking in the city".
"This is just an isolated incident when local people took advantage of the situation and indulged in the crime," the DGP said. One of those arrested earlier was a contractual employee of the Assam Electronic Development Corporation Ltd Amarjyoti Kalita, who had also acted in an Assamese serial.
The other two arrested were Dhanonjoy Basfor and Bulbul Das. They were charged under Sec 341 (wrongful restraint), Sec 143 (unlawful assembly), Sec 294 (obscene act), Sec 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), Sec 354 (assault or criminal force on a woman with the intent to outrage her modesty) of IPC following a written complaint filed by the girl's mother.
Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has termed the incident unfortunate and said it should not have been allowed to occur. He has also directed the district administration and police to monitor all bars, clubs, discos and hotels.

Every day computers make many millions of electronic trades by performing delicate calculations aimed at eking out a tiny edge in terms of speed or efficiency. Increasingly, however, more significant trading decisions are being made by smarter, more autonomous algorithms.
Both established trading firms and a handful of startups are exploring whether such trading techniques, borrowed from the field of artificial intelligence, could help them outfox other traders. And anyone with money invested might well be curious to know if the trend could alter the dynamics of markets.
Quantitative hedge funds, including Bridgewater Associates, Renaissance Technologies, D.E. Shaw, and Two Sigma, have, of course, been using advanced algorithmic approaches for some years. Many of the methods employed by these businesses are found in areas of artificial intelligence research.
But the past couple of years have also seen a tremendous resurgence of interest in artificial intelligence, thanks to new machine-learning techniques—especially deep learning (involving training a large virtual neural network to recognize patterns in data)— that have made computers capable of human-level perception of images, text, and audio (see “10 Breakthrough Technologies 2013: Deep Learning”). Now the question is whether AI can do the same for financial data.
It’s clear that this recent progress has caught the attention of engineers working in finance. At an important academic event for AI researchers, the Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS), held in Montreal last December, several thousand academic and industry researchers gathered to discuss progress in developing new machine-learning algorithms. In an area reserved for poster presentations by graduate students, big tech companies, including Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and IBM, had paid to set up recruitment tables, hoping to lure the hottest new talent to come work for them. But almost half of the companies recruiting at NIPS were not tech companies at all but hedge funds and financial firms.
One of the companies there was the large British investment firm MAN AHL, which for years has been focused on using statistical approaches to devise investment strategies. Anthony Ledford, chief scientist of MAN AHL, explains that the company is exploring whether techniques like deep learning might lend themselves to finance. “It’s at an early stage,” Ledford says. “We have set aside a pot of money for test trading. With deep learning, if all goes well, it will go into test trading, as other machine-learning approaches have.”
Trading might seem like an obvious place to apply deep learning, but actually it isn’t clear how comparable the challenge of finding subtle patterns in real-time trading data is to, say, spotting faces in digital photographs. “It’s a very different problem,” Ledford admits.
Academic experts also sound a note of caution. Stephen Roberts, a professor of machine learning at Oxford University, says deep learning could be good “for extracting hidden trends, information, and relationships,” but adds that it “is still too brittle with regard to handling of high uncertainty and noise, which are prevalent in finance.”
Roberts also notes that deep learning can be a relatively slow process, and cannot offer the kinds of guaranteed behavior that other statistical approaches offer. In general, he says, there is a certain amount of hype around the idea of AI in finance. “AI is a very broad subject,” he says. “And many standard statistical techniques used are being rebranded as AI and machine learning.”
That said, new financial firms that advertise themselves as AI-focused may be on to something. These include Sentient, based in San Francisco, Rebellion Research in New York, and a Hong Kong–based investment company called Aidyia.
One of the most promising uses of relatively new AI techniques may be processing unstructured natural language data in the form of news articles, company reports, and social media posts, in an effort to glean insights into the future performance of companies, currencies, commodities, or financial instruments.
Aidyia was founded by a well-known artificial intelligence researcher, Ben Goertzel, who is also the founder of Hanson Robotics and the chairman of an open-source AI project called OpenCog. Aidyia began trading last year, and Goertzel says his company’s approach is far more ambitious than the techniques used by most hedge funds today, taking inspiration from evolutionary programming, probabilistic logic, and chaotic dynamics.
“Our system ingests a variety of inputs, including price and volume from exchanges around the world, news from various sources in multiple languages, macroeconomic and company accounting data, and more,” Goertzel told MIT Technology Review. “It then studies how these various factors have interrelated historically, and learns an ensemble of tens of thousands of predictive models that appear to have predictive value, based on its study of historical data,” which help guide the company’s investments.
There is certainly a trend toward increasing automation among financial firms. Preqin, a company that provides financial industry data, reports that 40 percent of hedge funds created last year were “systematic,” meaning they rely on computer models for their decisions.
Not everyone is convinced that an AI revolution in finance is imminent, however. David Harding, the billionaire founder and CEO of another British trading company, Winton Capital Management, is generally skeptical of hype over machine learning and AI. “If I squinted a little and looked at Winton, I’d say that’s more or less what we’ve been doing for the past 30 years,” he says.
Harding also remembers that a similar boom in interest in neural networks resulted in many startups during the early 1990s. “People started saying, ‘There’s an amazing new computing technique that’s going to blow away everything that’s gone before.’ There was also a fashion for genetic algorithms,” he recalls. “Well, I can tell you none of those companies exist today—not a sausage of them.”
Ledford, of Man AHL, also has a few words of caution for anyone who thinks the latest machine-learning techniques could offer a shortcut to riches. “It’s important to remember how humbling the market can be,” he says. “I’d say don’t pat yourself on the back too much, but equally don’t get too disheartened.” | positive |
flickr/aigarius Eben Moglen
A few days ago I wrote a post asking whether Facebook was actively helping law enforcement track down bad guys using facial recognition technology. (The answer: Not really.)
I had to publish it before I got a response from Eben Moglen, the Columbia law professor and privacy advocate who inspired the post in the first place by telling New York Observer reporter Adrianne Jeffries that Facebook’s PhotoDNA technology was used “to find people for whom any law enforcement agency in the world is looking.”
Two things. First, I misspelled Moglen’s name (with an i instead of an e). So that’s embarrassing. Second: Moglen did get back to me after my post appeared and offered the following statement as a response.
I presented [that information] there as a rapid illustration of the underlying principle that Facebook causes people to do *ecological* harm by collaboratively destroying one another's privacy. The point is that by sharing with our actual friends through a web intermediary who can store and mine everything, we *harm* people by destroying their privacy *for* them. It's not the sharing that's bad, it's the technological design of giving it all to someone in the middle. That is at once outstandingly stupid and overwhelmingly dangerous.
Moglen likens Facebook to a hacker who launches a “man in the middle” (MITM) attack -- intercepting an apparently private communication between two parties and using that information for his own nefarious purposes.
For example: Let’s say you have an insecure WiFi connection. You log onto your bank and decide to transfer money between your checking and savings account. Unbeknownst to you, an attacker is sitting in an unmarked van outside your house sniffing your WiFi traffic. He could then redirect you to a site he controls that looks just like your bank’s Web site, and act like an invisible phone operator – capture your log ins, access your account at the bank, perform the transactions you request, and relay back information that your transaction has been completed.
As far as you and the bank know, everything went as it should. But now Mr. MITM has all of your information and can log back in later to drain your account.
Moglen is saying that this is essentially how Facebook operates. But is it really? I have a few problems with this metaphor. For starters:
* A true MITM attack happens without either party knowing about it. When’s the last time you used Facebook without knowing about it, or been forced to use it against your will?
* The attacker has a nefarious purpose in mind for your data. Moglen may argue that Facebook’s purposes are nefarious, but to me they’re pretty clear: They want to monetize your data by sending you targeted ads. Not quite the same as draining your bank account.
* You have no control over the data the MITM attacker collects. You have some controls over what Facebook collects.
Where Moglen and I agree is when he talks about how other people can do you harm by sharing too much about you on Facebook. The clearest example is indiscriminate photo tagging, which ties into the whole face recognition question.
The fact is, anybody can add your name to a photo on Facebook and there’s nothing you can do about it. All you can do is keep these pictures off your own personal timeline and tell Facebook to not “suggest” that your friends tag you when it recognizes your mugshot.
Is this quite the same as cooperating with the secret police or acting as a Man in the Middle? Not hardly. But it’s something Facebook needs to fix.

Democrats and Republicans in the US House of Representatives announced Thursday that they'd reached an agreement on legislation that will allow Puerto Rico to in effect declare bankruptcy and receive some relief from the onerous debts that are threatening to permanently wreck the island's economy. The legislation, if it passes, would mean that owners of Puerto Rico's debt receive less than 100 percent of what they are owed but would also save creditors from resorting to a costly and chaotic series of lawsuits in order to get their money.
Crucially, the bill does not entail the expenditure of any federal money and throws Republicans a bone in the form of exempting the island from the Obama administration's new overtime rules. But the bill is essentially a least-common-denominator compromise that grants the island some relief and creditors some certainty without capturing anyone's long-term vision of Puerto Rican renewal.
Passage seems likely in the wake of favorable commentary from House leaders on both sides of the aisle, but it's not entirely certain. Pressure groups representing distressed debt firms that have loaded up on Puerto Rican debt will likely oppose the bill and try to recover 100 percent of what they are owed.
What's this about a debt crisis in Puerto Rico?
If you're just tuning in, for years a quirk of US law created a tax subsidy for Puerto Rican debt that encouraged middle-class Americans to binge on loaning money to Puerto Rico without really realizing that's what they were doing. The Puerto Rican government took advantage of this situation by borrowing a lot of money, but didn't use the money to accomplish much that was useful in the long term.
Then, starting in 2006, Puerto Rico was hit with a series of economic misfortunes. At that point, its strong ties to the United States offered some downsides. Puerto Rico could not adjust to bad economic times with currency depreciation, but Puerto Ricans could adjust to bad times by moving to the mainland United States.
That has left Puerto Rico in a 10-year downward spiral of tax hikes, spending cuts, emigration, and higher interest rates. About a year ago, Puerto Rican Gov. Alejandro García Padilla announced that Puerto Rico was in a "death spiral" that he needs to halt, and he began saying that bondholders would not be fully paid.
A company or municipality facing this situation would declare bankruptcy, but federal bankruptcy law makes no provision for Puerto Rico to declare bankruptcy. A sovereign country facing this situation would declare a legal default on its debts, but Puerto Rico is not a sovereign nation — it's subject to US federal law. So there was no legal mechanism for Puerto Rico to discharge its debts.
The territory's government, however, asked Congress to create a legal bankruptcy process but warned that even absent one the money would not all be paid. Then, back at the beginning of May, Padilla started following through on his threats and skipping debt payments.
Hedge funds that own Puerto Rican debt have been arguing stridently against creating a bankruptcy process — characterizing it as a "bailout" — and insisting that they must be paid in full.
What does the new bill do, exactly?
The bill has two main provisions:
It creates a seven-member fiscal oversight board with members appointed by the president and congressional leaders that will have to approve Puerto Rico's future fiscal plans.
It allows the island to legally pay less than 100 percent of what is owed on old debts as part of a larger process to ensure that everyone gets something and the island's economy can continue to recover. This is what normally you would call "bankruptcy," except for whatever reason the bill doesn't use the word.
In addition, Puerto Rico will be exempt from the new federal overtime rule, and the law gives the oversight board the authority to lower Puerto Rico's minimum wage below the federal minimum wage level.
How much debt are we talking about?
Puerto Rico's total debt outstanding is about $72 billion, which is small relative to the overall United States economy but big pretty much any other way you slice it.
Two US states have more debt than that — California and New York — but Puerto Rico is much smaller, with approximately the population of San Diego County. New York and California are also richer than the average US state, whereas Puerto Rico is poorer.
Almost all US states have growing populations, but Puerto Rico's is shrinking. In October 2013, the Economist reported that "in America’s 50 states the average ratio of state debt to personal income is 3.4%," whereas the ratings agency Moody's says the comparable figure for Puerto Rico is 89 percent.
Hawaii, the most indebted US state by this measure, has a 10 percent ratio.
In other words, Puerto Rico's debts really are way out of line with what any state is financing, and there's no real precedent for paying down debts of this magnitude. There's no real precedent for refusing to pay them either, but default is by no means a crazy option.
Who lent Puerto Rico all this money?
A large share of the money was initially lent by people not so different from you or me — middle-class Americans, especially those living in higher tax states. As for what they were thinking, they probably weren't thinking much of anything in particular. They were just putting money away for retirement in municipal bond funds to diversify their portfolios.
Those funds, in turn, were invested in a diverse array of US public sector bonds. Since Puerto Rican bonds feature some unusual tax advantages, there was an unusually robust level of demand for Puerto Rican debt. Successive Puerto Rican governments responded to demand for their debt in the economically rational way — they borrowed an unusually large amount of money.
But none of this lending was driven by particular scrutiny of the details of Puerto Rico's economic situation, and when Puerto Rico's economic fortunes began to change about 10 years ago the dynamics became untenable.
The flip side of this mindless lending is that Puerto Rico failed to take real advantage of the financial windfall it provided. In theory, loads of cheap debt could have been used to finance incredibly useful public works projects and other social services that laid the foundations for enduring prosperity. But it didn't happen.
Instead, Puerto Rico seems to have mostly taken advantage of the opportunity to run a somewhat more generous welfare state than the island could really afford over the long term. Thus, when the easy money went away, the country was left with a huge pile of debts rather than a huge pile of enduringly useful infrastructure.
In more recent years, as it began to look like Puerto Rico wouldn't be able to pay its debts, holders of Puerto Rican bonds began dumping them and specialist distressed debt investors started picking them up at a discount. The hedge funds stand to win big if they can avoid bankruptcy and fully recoup the face value of the bonds, since they acquired the debt for much less than that.
Will the bill pass?
Passage seems likely. Treasury Secretary Jack Lew called it a "fair but tough bipartisan compromise," Nancy Pelosi praised it, and Senate Republican leaders have long insisted that if their House colleagues can pass a bill they are confident a similar measure will make it through the Senate.
Speaker Paul Ryan told the Wall Street Journal that the bill was "exactly where we want it" but wouldn't say if a majority of his caucus would vote for it.
Normally if Pelosi and Ryan agree, you would expect the bill to pass, and it probably will.
Things could fall apart, however, if enough conservative members defect from the bill that Ryan ends up mostly needing to rely on Democratic votes. If that happens, Democrats might try to insist on liberal priorities like giving Puerto Rico a more generous formula for federal health care spending or removing the conservative provisions on labor market regulation. And if that happens, even more Republicans might jump ship.
But Puerto Rico appears to really prefer bankruptcy relief over a disorderly default, and House Democrats, led by congressional Hispanic Caucus members, will probably not make too much trouble.
Isn't it a miracle that Congress is actually doing things?
Well, yes and no. On the one hand, we live in an era of gridlock. On the other hand, throughout 2015 we saw that Congress had started working again.
People didn't pay much attention, but the main federal statute governing K-12 education got an overhaul. So did the federal disability insurance system. A long-running dispute about federal highway funding got resolved, as did a long-running dispute about Medicare payments.
Last but by no means least, December saw a whole bunch of tax changes featuring good news for low-wage workers and a broad set of business interests. Congress even passed a law to ban microbeads in bath products to help protect the nation's fisheries.
These were all sort of boring least-common-denominator compromises that arguably failed to address fundamental issues, and that's exactly what happened on the Puerto Rico issue, too.
But this is a very meaningful change from the government-by-crisis mode that we saw in the 2011-'14 era of the high Tea Party. Members of Congress are sticking to their ideological guns, which limits what can get done given the White House's own ideological red lines, but Republican leaders are willing to buck their backbench purists and make deals to move low-key bills forward when possible. | positive |

They then drop five parachute companies and support elements to take the base. When the alarm is raised, Cuban units 15 miles to the south are alerted and come to their aid. However, the SAAF manage to bomb and straff them and provide time for the ground units to be airlifted out. The air transport units are available on turn 11. SAAF units are staggered to reflect refueling and rearming. The operation is controversial as it was claimed that the base was in fact a refugee camp. Whilst photo evidence detailed defences and anti-aircraft installations, a UN report stated that most facilities would have had those features and that that didn't mean it was an active base.

Fans of Sir Cliff Richard, who has strongly denied accusations of a sexual assault on a boy in 1985, are marshalling their troops to bulk-buy his music as a show of support.
Linda Calvert, 66 - a devotee of the singer since she was 12 - visited his Portguese villa while on holiday to show her support, and told The Daily Telegraph about the campaign, which begins on Monday.
"It's disgusting how he has been treated, as he's such a lovely man," she said.
Her friend Jenny Walker, 64, added: "I feel so terrible for him - what he must be going through is awful. He's a wonderful entertainer and a lovely man."
The pair - who met at a Cliff Richard concert - have spent their holidays for many years on the Algarve, once renting a villa on his vineyard estate. They have also travelled around the world to see his shows, seeing him sing in Australia, New Zealand and most recently on June 21 in New York.
And they have enthusiastically embraced the campaign to get his single "I Still Believe In You" to the top of the charts. The ballad, with its soft-focus video showing highlights of his five-decade career, was released in December 1992 and spent six weeks in the charts, reaching number seven.
His supporters hope to improve on that this time.
"Let's fight back for Cliff," was the rallying call posted on Facebook.
"To show our support for Sir Cliff, we are trying to get him to the number one spot or as close as possible in next week's chart. To do so we have agreed to download the song 'I Still Believe In You' between Monday 18th August and Friday 22nd August," wrote a post on the Cliff Richard Radio Facebook page. The post was "liked" by 114 people.
Patricia Quinn-Jones, 60, and her daughters Sophie, 27, and Samantha, 33, from Cheshire broke off from their holiday to have their pictures taken outside the singer's villa. They said they would each download the song as part of the campaign by Sir Cliff's followers to get it to number one.
Sophie said: "I will buy it on iTunes and CD - and if I could still get it on cassette I would."
Her sister added: "It is something we will definitely do. At the end of the day, when you're a fan and you believe in someone, you have to show your support."
But the leaders of the Facebook campaign cautioned that bulk-buying from the same email address would not be counted.
A post read: "We would ask all Cliff fans in the UK who visit this site to download the track. Some may try and download it several times but your download will only count once unless you follow these tips."
They then listed tricks including using different email addresses, switching IP addresses, asking friends and family to purchase on their behalf, and using a variety of sites such as iTunes, Amazon and HMV.
They said: "Please remember, do not start your downloads until Monday 18th August and no later than Friday 22nd August or they will not count toward that week’s chart. If you only intend to make one download, use Amazon. Most downloads cost from between 29p to 99p; let’s fight back for Cliff."
Bren Hop wrote on the page: "I have four email accounts with yahoo and one gmail. So it will be five downloads for me. Let's get him to number one.
"Register your new email accounts today in preparation for starting tomorrow. No excuses, if you love Cliff, then make it your goal to show everyone how proud we are of him."
Sharleen Faulknor wrote on Facebook: "Just been listening to Stronger on Cliff Richard Radio.The lyrics are so appropriate at the moment. How people talk when they don't know the truth and they're only jealous of you. Love you Cliff - always have always will." | positive |

There was no solicitation for Marvel’s Nighthawk comic in November. That’s because it is being cancelled with October’s final issue.
NIGHTHAWK #6
DAVID F. WALKER (W)
RAMON VILLALOBOS (A)
Cover by DENYS COWAN
THE BLOODY CONCLUSION TO THE
SAGA OF THE REVELATOR!
• NIGHTHAWK faces his greatest challenge: A life or death fight from which there will be no turning back.
• Can the man that defends Chicago remain a hero?
• Or must he become a villain in order to protect his city?
32 PGS./Parental Advisory …$3.99
Writer David F Walker took to Twitter to talk about the issue behind this decision, and his own feelings on the matter. He tweeted,
They deserve it & have supported it. The problem is the disconnect with the retailers & readers. It's just that way sometimes. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Thank you. I'm not angry. A bit disappointed. But at the end of the day, I did the best I could do. https://t.co/8MSj3KAwvb — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
There is enough complicity to go around, but I don't want to cast blame, some much as try to learn and move on. https://t.co/dRY6r5xG76 — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
1/2 – Some people are concerned because NIGHTHAWK was no among Marvel's solicitations for November. This is an unfortunate reality of comics — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
2/2 – Quality is not always enough to guarantee success. Comic books are an industry that is driven by money and sales. Sad but true. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Marvel has been very supportive of Nighthawk, especially Axel, who has been in our corner. But the market is not supporting the book. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
There will be a trade paperback. https://t.co/tNQ8d1yyNT — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
All I can say is this, both Nighthawk & Tilda will be around. Marvel has made it clear that they want more of both. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Part 1 – Here is the problem: often times the best reviewed comics are also among the worse selling. Personal case in point: SHAFT. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Part 2 – The first SHAFT series was one of the best reviewed titles of 2015. Sales were mediocre at best. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Part 3 – The 2016 sequel to SHAFT also got great reviews. The sales were even worse, even though it was out along side POWER MAN & IRON FIST — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Part 4 – When a well reviewed book does poorly in sales, and fails in the marketplace, we have to look at everyone involved in the industry. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Part 5 – We can throw blame around for good books that fail, but what are WE going to do about it? — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Part 6 – But I want to be clear about both SHAFT and NIGHTHAWK, I'm eternally grateful to everyone who made those books happen & showed love — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Part 7 – Dedicated fans of comics need to better understand the industry. Know why pre-orders are important. Recognize your $$$ power. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
But the book is being published by Marvel, not ignored. It is being ignored by retailers and readers. https://t.co/U9zmtn4Y52 — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Bottom line — sales figures on NIGHTHAWK were low. Books with low sales often face a grim fate. That's the nature of the business. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
Look, if quality is all it takes, 4 KIDS WALK INTO A BANK would be the in the Top 10 selling comics every issue. That shit is phenomenal. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
BITCH PLANET is easily one of the best comics out right now. It deserves to be in the Top 10, along with LAZARUS. Why aren't they? — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
How many of you read Hex11? That book is amazing. But you wouldn't know it, because it isn't in any stores. Quality must be sought out. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016

Race and gender factor in, for sure, but that's America, homie. Land of the oppressed. https://t.co/wuHeDplpAC — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
I heard your support, and appreciated. Sometimes things don't work out. Pick yourself and keep moving. https://t.co/XCNFCvBB9x — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
That's part of it, but there's more to it than that. I can't get angry. I've got to just keep on keeping on. https://t.co/lpME17HX3S — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
To be clear, I appreciate all @Marvel did for NIGHTHAWK. They supported me & published a book that pulled no punches. I thank them. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 27, 2016
When the time came for retailers and readers to spend their money, they had priorities other than NIGHTHAWK. Shit happens & I respect that. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 28, 2016
Fact is that more people read NIGHTHAWK than read SHAFT, and only about 100 people have read ARMY OF DR. MOREAU. That's the business. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 28, 2016
I'm not going to cry because my sales aren't the best, or because some people hate me, or because the industry has complex problems. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 28, 2016
I am lucky to be working in comics. I do the best job I can. The quality of my work is not measured by the revenue it generates. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 28, 2016
Personally, I feel supported. Some people would rather read Batguy or Bug-Dude, and they only have so much money. https://t.co/9DoKBeS6eB — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 28, 2016
Marvel is making a reasonable decision given the sales. We made a great book, but sales didn't warrant a longer run. https://t.co/RCvcOZ1U4G — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 28, 2016
Issue #1 started out okay, but the numbers dropped and never picked up. — David Eph Walker (@DavidWalker1201) August 28, 2016

Another is houses with front porches decorated with pumpkins, mums, pansies, just beautifully celebrating the season. In New Zealand we don’t decorate our front porches, but I had to simply to celebrate Fall with you. So enjoy the season!

Then there have grown up powerful interest groups that can stand in the way of substantial and necessary reform. Anyone who has ever tried to reform an education system, for example, knows how tough and bitter a struggle it is. The bureaucracy fights change. The teachers’ unions fight change. The public gets whipped up to defeat change even when it is in the public’s own interest. The nearest I came to losing my job as prime minister was not over policies of war and peace, but over education reforms. The effort to reform health care has similar characteristics.
Image Tony Blair
Yet since the world is changing so fast, updating government systems is essential.
The impact of the lack of reform is felt by the public. People need better services, have higher expectations, but as any politician can tell you, they don’t want to pay more for them. So the absence of reform, particularly in an era of tight budgets, is immensely challenging. Thus you have the curious paradox of modern leadership: There has to be reform to satisfy rising public demands, but the public can be easily mobilized to oppose those reforms. Therefore politicians often back off the change, which then increases voters’ disillusionment with the political process.
Look at European nations like France, Italy, Spain and Greece, which are struggling to reform their tax systems, to change how public benefits are distributed, or to decrease systemic redundancies. The public blowback against reform is intense and yet there really is no alternative. Meanwhile the European Union is unable to take measures to stimulate growth, the essential accompaniment to reform.
Examine the changes in the private sector over the past 20 years. Look at the top companies by market capitalization and how new names have displaced the old. This is the way of the world, except in government. We go along in the same old way — unable to change, due in part to top-down bureaucracies that manage the status quo instead of changing it.
Technology alone could transform the way education and health care work. It could revolutionize learning and teaching. It could create whole new pathways of diagnosis and treatment. In the best places this is happening, but not in most. It is this — the efficacy gap — that is the real cause of political disillusionment and why people go running after populist solutions that aren’t really solutions at all. This is what we need to fix.
Moreover, at the very time when leadership is needed, the gene pool of political leaders has shrunk. How many leaders and, for that matter, followers in a parliament or congress have real-life experience in responsible positions outside of politics? Today it is very common for a young person interested in politics to graduate from university, go to work for a politician as a researcher or political analyst, and then transition straight into an elected position.
I only spent seven years working in the private sector before entering politics, but it was a crucial, formative time. I learned about business and about people in a way that was greatly beneficial when I later came to govern. In particular, I learned the difference between academic political ideas and policies suited to “real world” application. | positive |
25 French Expressions and Slang You DON’T Learn in French Class
Want to learn some useful French expressions, words and slang that you probably don’t cover in French class? We compiled a list of colloquial (everyday) terms you’ll hear in France. You can sprinkle them into your conversations to sound more fluent or smile to yourself when you hear your French friends use these words.
Since this article is extremely popular there will be a followup post with an additional 25 words. So here’s the first 25 French expressions and slang words you don’t learn in French class (unless your French teacher is awesome).
Trop Stylé
This French expression is used a lot by teenagers and younger people, this is how they say something is cool, similar to « trop bien ». You can also use « stylé » (pronounced: stee-lay) as a standalone compliment for things such as clothing, tattoos, a drawing, etc…
« Hé mate-moi ça, c’est trop stylé ! »
Faire Gaffe
Recently I was surprised when my cousin kept saying this term and I had no clue what it meant. Ever since he explained it I heard it being used by my relatives, my friends in the South and even the teachers I worked with. Faire gaffe is just another way to say « faire attention » or pay attention, watch out, be careful. Make sure you conjugate the verb faire when necessary.
« Fais gaffe à la marche. »
En fait / Franchement
These two words are extremely useful. En fait (pronounced: ohn-fet) can either connect two phrases, or be used as an interjection. Franchement accentuates speech and bring attention to an opinion.
« Ah si franchement il est génial ! »
Ça y est !
Ça y est (pronounced: sigh-ay) is a little French expression that has two main meanings. It’s usually a replacement of the word “finally” in French, « c’est fait / enfin ». However it’s also an expression that can be used when you find something you were looking for.
Pompette & Déchiré
Oh man, two of my favorites words right here (not sure what that says about me). These words describe one thing: different states of being drunk. Pompette is the equivalent of being tipsy in English; when you drank enough to feel it but not enough to regret anything. Déchiré is on the other end of the spectrum and it mean’s you’re WASTED… you’re hammered. Game over – déchiré. Get ready for that walk of shame tomorrow morning.
« Oh putain, hier soir j’étais déchiré(e). »
Bosser / Taffer
These two words are colloquial ways of saying the verb « travailler », or “to work”. If you want the noun le travail can be replaced by the word le boulot.
C’est Parti !
Let’s go OR let’s get started! You enthusiastically yell « c‘est parti ! » before starting a task or going somewhere with someone.
Nickel
Nickel is French slang for the word “perfect”. When something is A-OK you can confirm it by uttering this easy French word.
Bouffer / la bouffe
These are more informal ways of saying “to eat” (manger) or “food” (la nourriture).
« Il faut que j’aille faire des courses si j’veux bouffer ce soir. »
La Vache !
This is an informal variant of “oh my god”. It’s when an unbelievable event contains compassion, surprise, and a myriad of other intense emotions. Your friend just fell down the stairs and before helping him up you scream this phrase. Then you stare in horror. Then you both laugh because he’s alright. Phew, la vache.
Bof / Bah / Euh
This is an easy way to up sounding fluent in French. Native French speakers don’t fill the silence in their speech with “um’s” and “uhhhh’s”, but rather with « euhhhh’s » and « bah’s »! These three words all are small interjections that should be incorporated into your French speech.
Bof signifies indifference, mild disappointment, or boredom in something. In English, bof is essentially the word “meh”.
Euh is the English equlavent of “um” or “uh”, it’s used to buy yourself time when trying to find your words while speaking.
Bah is another filler word, yet more often than not you’ll find it at the start of a sentence. Mais attention ! When you respond with the statement, « bah oui » to one of your friend’s questions, this indicates that he or she made an extremely obvious statement. The question was so evident that it didn’t even warrant a response.
« T’as mis la table ? »
« Bah oui »
« T’as pas mangé ? »
« Bah si, il est 14h00. »
Beuh / le Shit
I can guarantee your high school French teacher won’t let you in on these words, but they’re Snoop Dogg approved. Cannabis, Mary Jane, weed, however you want to call it, the French language also has many different terms for marijuana. Even though I’ve never smoked I decided it’s worthwhile to share these words because you hear them if/when people colloquially speak of marijuana. I heard these words quite often on the streets.
Une bagnole
Une bagnole is just a synonym for the word car in French, « une voiture ». I find it to be a bit more dated, however you’ll hear it occasionally, especially in sentences such as:
« Ah c’est une belle bagnole ! »
Mec / Nana
Used in many parts of France and is generally understood to mean “dude” and “chick”.
Sympa
Sympa is an abbreviation of the adjective « sympathique », and here I talk about how you can use this word and many others to sound more Parisian. It’s the perfect word.
Bref
I could write a whole article on this word, there’s even a TV show titled « Bref ». However me being long winded about a word which means “brief” or “in short” would be kind of ironic.
Bref is used when you want to make a long story short, instead of explaining every intricate detail of something, you simply utter the word bref and then get to the point.
Santé !
During a toast rather than saying “cheers!” we say « Santé » in French. It’s a way to wish well upon each other’s health. Make sure when you’re toasting that you look the other person in the eyes otherwise you’ll be called out on being rude!
Well there’s your 25 words. What’s that, you want a bonus word? Oh why the heck not, I’ll treat you guys to a 26th word:
OH BONNE MÈRE
This is how the typical Marseillais expresses « oh mon dieu ». You’ll encounter this word during a football (soccer) match when those poor OM supporters get scored on in the 90th minute.

Team Summaries:
The period numbers paint a clear picture of how this game progressed. Flyers dominated the lackluster Caps early, especially at even strength. Once they'd built a substantial lead on the score board, the Flyers went full turtle. Sitting back on a lead is almost never a good idea and it came close to biting the Flyers in the ass. Washington's singular strength this season has been an obscenely good power play. So of course, Berube's players dutifully made their way to penalty box in the 3rd period and paved the way for a heart attack inducing comeback. Chances in the final frame were decidedly lopsided, with the Caps going on an 8 to 3 run.
Forwards(Even Strength):
Head to Head Match Ups:
As you can see from the match-up chart, Flyers did most of their offensive damage against the Caps bottom 6 group. Giroux's line was good, the middle of the line up was okay, but the real surprise tonight was the play of the 4th line. Raffl's line dominated in both shot and chance differentials. Waffles had an exceptionally strong game and was directly involved in creating all 4 of his line's scoring chances. I'd really like to see him in Top-6 role but it seems like Berube believes he still needs some seasoning in the North American game.
Defense(Even Strength):
Grossmann and Streit really really enjoy playing against the Caps. Not sure if they're actually playing better or Washington is just that terrible of a 5v5 team. Maybe its both. Obviously everyone's interested in how MacDonald did in his first outing with the Flyers. Other than potentially notching his first point he wasn't particularly noticeable. Very low event hockey at 5v5 in terms of chances, and a stunningly average shot differential. He was neither a disaster nor a revelation. Best to revisit MacD's performances after a 10 to 15 game sample.
Special Teams
Nothing unexpected here. Flyers PP was good, Caps was better. And the Flyers PK suffered. A notable bright spot is Couturier's continued ability to generate short handed scoring chances.
Overall Team Performance: A-
A complete lack of discipline is the only major detraction of note in this game. Otherwise, the Flyers played really well against a bad team. Get ready for a rough schedule up ahead.

Mokeskin pouch Object information Usage Storage
To be worn Owners Harry Potter [Source]
Hagrid: "Mokeskin. Hide anythin' in there an' no one but the owner can get it out. They're rare, them." Harry Potter: "Hagrid, thanks!" — Rubeus Hagrid gave his present on Harry's seventeenth birthday.[src]
Mokeskin pouch is a kind of small bag made of Mokeskin that is used for storing items, which no one but the owner can get out. It appears small on the outside, but an enchantment allows it to have much greater carrying capacity than any Muggle pouch of comparable size.

History
Harry Potter received a Mokeskin pouch from Rubeus Hagrid as a birthday present.[1] Harry placed inside the pouch several possessions that initially appeared worthless and solely sentimental, but each turned out to be vitally important during the events of the following year.

OAKLAND (KPIX 5) — A new tattoo school is coming to the East Bay, but some say it’ll disrupt a long-standing tradition.
For years, Oakland has been a Mecca for quality tattoo art, but Premium Tattoo owner Matt Decker has a plan that is getting under a lot of people’s skin.
“What we did is we developed a way to train artists that we are then going to intern and hire,” Decker said.
He intends to operate a for-profit school for new artists out of his shop. He says eight students will get hands-on instruction and, once certified, a job in one of the five shops his company owns.
But that runs against the individual apprenticeship system that Oakland’s tattoo community is used to.
“We want to be able to give them education without using them as free labor and that is kind of the traditional way that things have been done.”
Oey, a co-owner of Sacred Tattoo said, “They want the money per student and that’s a big chunk of change from what I’ve been told.”
Oey says the school will flood an already tight market with new artists making it harder for everyone to make a living. And he says tattooing is a trade that takes years of one-on-one mentoring to do correctly.
Decker acknowledges his plan has angered a lot of his fellow artists.
But Decker says, “I’ve always been a bit of a maverick. I feel this is a better way.”
The tattoo school’s operator says they’ll begin accepting applications in about three weeks and they expect to have the school up-and-running in a few months. | positive |

Republicans face unexpected challenges in coastal South amid shrinking white vote
By Douglas A. Blackmon,
OXFORD, Miss. — Late on election night, a small melee erupted at the University of Mississippi here when a group of white students frustrated by the reelection of President Obama marched outside and began shouting racial slurs at African American students. Several hundred people gathered to watch as two white students were arrested.
“Mississippi still has a lot of work to do in race relations,” said Kimbrely Dandridge, an African American Obama supporter and president of the student body.
Yet even as that incident evoked ugly memories of an earlier era, Election Day in the South told a newer and more surprising story: The nation’s first black president finished more strongly in the region than any other Democratic nominee in three decades, underscoring a fresh challenge for Republicans who rely on Southern whites as their base of national support.
Obama won Virginia and Florida and narrowly missed victory in North Carolina. But he also polled as well in Georgia as any Democrat since Jimmy Carter, grabbed 44 percent of the vote in deep-red South Carolina and just under that in Mississippi — despite doing no substantive campaigning in any of those states.
Much of the post-election analysis has focused on the demographic crisis facing Republicans among Hispanic voters, particularly in Texas. But the results across other parts of the South, where Latinos remain a single-digit minority, point to separate trends among blacks and whites that may also have big implications for the GOP’s future.
The results show a region cleaving apart along new electoral fault lines. In the region’s center, clustered along the Mississippi River — where Bill Clinton polled most strongly — the GOP remains largely unchallenged and the voting divide between blacks and whites is deepening. Nearly nine of 10 of white voters in Mississippi, for instance, went for Republican nominee Mitt Romney this year, according to exit polls. About 96 percent of black voters in the state supported Obama.
The pattern is markedly different in the five states that hug the Atlantic coast from Virginia to Florida, which together hold 82 of the South’s 160 electoral votes. A combination of a growing black population, urban expansion, oceanfront development and in-migration from other regions has opened up increasing opportunities for Democrats in those states.
“Georgia is an achievable target for Democrats in 2016,” said Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, a frequent Obama surrogate during the campaign. “What you’re going to see is the Democratic Party making a drive through the geography from Virginia to Florida.”
That will be easier said than done — particularly when the Democratic nominee is not Obama — but powerful forces in the region are clearly eroding GOP dominance. The trends pose difficulties for a Republican Party that has been shifting toward Dixie since the “Southern strategy” of the Nixon era, which sought to encourage white flight from the Democratic Party.
In every Southern state except Louisiana, the population of African Americans grew substantially faster than that of whites over the past decade. The growth is fueled by black retirees from the north and rising numbers of young, well-educated blacks in prosperous cities such as Atlanta, Norfolk, Charlotte and Charleston, S.C.
The influx also includes fast-growing, but smaller, Hispanic populations and an infusion of less-conservative outsiders attracted to popular coastal areas. Together, the shifts are making the electoral landscape from Virginia and the Carolinas look increasingly like the swing state of Florida.
Obama’s 2012 numbers in the Southeastern coastal states outperformed every Democratic nominee since Carter and significantly narrowed past gaps between Democratic and Republican candidates. The lone possible exception is Georgia in 1996, which gave Arkansas native Bill Clinton 45.8 percent in 1996; Obama fell 0.4 percent short of that mark in tentative 2012 results, but ongoing revisions could close the gap.
The proportion of white voters in the South is also shrinking. Southern whites voted overwhelmingly for Romney, but in six Southern states, far fewer of them appear to have gone to the polls on Nov. 6 than the number who voted for Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) in 2008.
In Florida, the share of votes cast by whites this year fell to 66 percent, down from 73 percent in 2000. In Georgia, the number of white voters declined while African American registration increased nearly 6 percent and Hispanic voters grew by 36 percent.
“Republicans can focus all they want on Hispanics,” said John Anzalone, a Montgomery, Ala., pollster who helped analyze swing states for the Obama campaign. “But they also have a problem with whites, in this election cycle, just showing up.”
Many Republican leaders in the South say the lower turnout by whites in some areas simply reflected lower enthusiasm for Romney as a candidate, and doesn’t signal a longer term decline in GOP strength.
Prominent conservatives in the region are acutely aware of the danger posed by the trends. “We’ve got to go out and sell our ideas not just to the choir, but the whole church,” said Henry Barbour, a Republican National Committee member from Mississippi and a top Romney fundraiser (and nephew of former governor Haley Barbour). “We’re not going to get 25 percent of the black vote in four years, but we’ve got to figure out which African Americans share our core beliefs.”
Some Republicans had hoped to make at least small inroads among black voters in 2012 given lower African American turnout in the 2010 midterms, high black unemployment and the modest success of presidential candidate Herman Cain in the Republican primaries. They reasoned that winning over just a small percentage of black voters in key states such as Virginia, North Carolina and Florida could alter the outcome of the race.
The Rev. C.L. Bryant, an African American tea party activist from DeSoto Parish, La., helped lead a spirited effort by some of the most conservative GOP-aligned groups to use Obama’s support for gay marriage as an opening to appeal to socially conservative black voters.
He produced a feature-length film titled “Runaway Slave” that urged blacks to flee the Democratic Party. It was shown in more than 20 cities, while he and other conservative African Americans toured the country to blast Obama’s support for abortion rights and gay issues.
But the issues had little apparent impact on Obama’s support within the black community. Black pastors — some of whom had preached against gay marriage in the past — rallied to the president. Romney also hit a number of sour notes with minorities during the campaign, including his apparent suggestion that blacks who support Obama want “more free stuff” from government.
“Romney was real disrespectful,” said Rodney Collier, 58, a black stylist at Haywood’s Hair Images in Richmond. “How can you be so negative and nasty to a sitting president?”
By the closing stage of the campaign, gay marriage had largely disappeared from the conversation among black voters. “We don’t see any of that,” said Tiara Moore, 23, a biology student, after a day of canvassing before the election at historically black Hampton University in Virginia. “They talk about health care and student loans.”
Contrary to the expectations of many Republican pollsters, black voters came out in droves on Election Day and voted overwhelmingly for Obama — near or above 95 percent in most parts of the South.
“We were all basically stunned at the results,” Bryant said. “It is very clear that the direction of the Republican Party — the conservative movement — is necessarily going to have to include the changing face of America and address the concerns of minorities, blacks, Latinos, and even younger white women, all young people. . . . It has to happen or we’re going to be insignificant.”

Nicole Murray, left, and Marie Fitzpatrick have won a Kiwibank Local Hero award for setting up a baking charity that delivers homemade goods to people in need.
Take a good idea, add butter, sugar, chocolate, 500 volunteers, and hundreds of people in need, and you have a recipe for a local hero or two.
Wellington friends Nicole Murray and Marie Fitzpatrick had both experienced a difficult time in their lives, during which the simple and small acts were the ones that resonated the most.
So after drinking a few glasses of pink bubbly, they decided to pay it forward and start delivering baking to people who were, for whatever reason, missing out on a bit of home comfort.
"There just seemed to be a lot of people doing it tough out there and a really small thing gave you enough of a boost to get you through," Fitzpatrick said.
A day later they had 15 friends wanting to help out, a week later strangers were ringing asking to be involved, a year later they are a registered charity with 588 "good bitch" bakers in eight cities and have delivered more than 44,000 "slices of happiness" to people in need.
On Monday the pair were awarded a Kiwibank Local Hero award, one of 292 awarded nationwide for good deeds in the community.
"We have just provided a framework for people to be amazing and we are very honoured [to get the award]," Fitzpatrick said.
"We have quite the team ... and it gives us hope that the world is not going to end up as terrible as we thought."
Murray said they had been blown away by the response to Good Bitches Baking, which delivers to 75 places including Ronald McDonald houses, homeless shelters, women's refuges and the Salvation Army.
"More than the growth, has been the impact that cake has. It's sounds silly. But we get feedback that some how home baking can create a sense of home for people that don't have one, or can't be there because it's not safe or are having to travel for treatment."
The Wellington chapter has already reached capacity with 300 bakers on the roster and 70 more on a waiting list. The charity needed more expressions of interest from people to receive the baking.
The pair spent a lot of time crying because of the feedback they received from all over New Zealand, Murray said.
"Places like the refuge or shelters tell us that some people there had never had home baking in their lives.
"How does that happen? No one has never made baking for them, not even a birthday cake when they were a kid. It breaks my heart."
Without any funding, they have invested their own money to get charity up and running, started a Givealittle page, and were hoping to apply for grants now they were a registered charity.
The charity was still expanding with six more groups in the stages of setting up.
The Kiwibank Local Hero medals are awarded as part of the 2016 New Zealander of the Year awards and the winners are all eligible for the supreme
Councillor Sarah Free presented the medals and said the winners were examples of the qualities that hold the city together.
"Their charity, selflessness and generosity have touched upon the lives of so many and make our community a better place to live," she said.
Kiwibank chief executive Paul Brock said the winners were humble and outstanding citizens.
"They might not see their deeds as special. They'd be the first to say they're not special people. But we know otherwise so these awards are Wellington's way of saying thanks."

There are many different types of curtains that can be used in the home with an assortment of materials, colours, and patterns. Curtains can be used to divide rooms or create an aesthetically pleasing design. A window dressing system is a set of components that are used to control and conceal the view from the outside into a building. Window dressings may include curtains, blinds, shutters, and other types of window coverings. Every home or office needs a window dressing system. They are often thought of as the finishing touch on the interior of a room, and help to make it both practical and pleasing to the eye. Window dressings are a great way to add style and functionality to any office or home. They provide a decorative touch, as well as being useful in blocking the sun’s glare and unwanted views when needed. Junglio / Collection Vineyard / Collection The type of window dressing you choose will depend on what effect you need to achieve. For example, if you want to block out light or provide privacy, then blackout or heavy curtains are the best option for you. If you want to add decorative elements or create an illusion of space in your room, then blinds or shutters might be more suitable options. Curtains suit your needs best if washing is not a concern and you need to block out light. They can also be used to increase privacy and to add a decorative touch to your room design. Curtains come in many different colours and styles which will allow you to choose the one that suits your style best for each room. There are many factors to consider when choosing the best curtains for your home. You need to think about what type of window you have and where you want the curtains to hang. Choosing the best curtains for your home can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. Break it down to the various factors to consider, depending on what type of window you have and where you want the curtains to hang. These factors include the type of window you have, the light-blocking ability of the curtain, and if you are using them as room dividers or just as window treatments. You can even lend an illusion of space by hanging a curtain on a wall without a window, because people will naturally assume there’s a window behind the curtain! Geomana / Collection Geomana / Collection The first thing to think about when making your curtain decision is what type of window you have. There are several different types of windows, which all require different treatments. For example, a bay window or bow window would require something more architecturally significant than a simple pair of curtains. You also need to take into account the length and width of the window and how much light you want coming in from the outside. You also need to consider whether or not you need curtains that will block out light, and if so, how much light should be blocked out. Finally, you need to think about the look of your room and what colour would work for it.For example, if your room is decorated in colours of green and blue, then a yellow curtain might not go well with it. Unless you want to create a contrasting, energetic mood. This article offers some ideas for home decorating curtain ideas that can be used as part of a window dressing system: Use dark drapes and light prints for windows Consider using a single large curtain in the middle of the window Use sheer curtains for windows that are not facing the street Use dark drapes to block out the outside world and light prints to create a distraction-free space Geomana / Collection Introduction: What Makes a Great Curtain System? Curtains are an essential part of a room’s design. They can define the mood and atmosphere of a room, as well as provide privacy in some instances. Curtains can also be used to cover windows for insulation purposes, or to cover up ugly windows that you don’t like. In order to find the perfect curtain for your home you should consider what the purpose of the curtains is, how much light you would like to let into the room, and the design theme of your home. Curtains can be used to cover windows to protect them from the outside world, or they can be hung in a certain room to create a specific atmosphere. If you are looking for privacy, then there are more options for curtains that will varying levels of coverage. For a room that needs protection from light, choose curtains with a sheer curtain panel on the top and opaque or blackout curtains on the bottom. For rooms that need to let in more light, consider using panels or shades for the top and bottom of windows as well as a sheer panel for the middle sections of each window. Curtains can be one of the most important aspects of a room, since they are visually dominant and arguably the first thing people see when they enter a room.

Curtains can also be used to cover windows for insulation purposes in the winter, or to block great and dust in a tropical climate like Malaysia. There are many different types of curtains available on the market today. You can find curtains made from cotton, linen, silk, satin, synthetic materials such as polyester or nylon, and even more exotic materials such as velvet or lace. Curtains come in all shapes and sizes too – from mini-curtains for small windows to floor-length curtains for large windows, and even curtains that drape to the floor. On the other end of the spectrum, you can find garage roll-up curtains that don’t have a rod pocket at all. They’re not designed to be attached to walls or windows. Curtains and shades are also available that are motorized, which means they can be remotely opened and closed.

Festival / Collection Bouclette / Collection The size of the window: This is the most important factor in choosing whatever curtains you are going to purchase. Not only will this determine the type of curtains that you need, it will also help to determine what size of curtain rods and rings your window will require. If you are unsure, take a tape measure to your windows and write down the dimensions before you even go shopping for curtains. And when you do go shopping, consider the following. Purpose of curtain: Do you want something that blocks out light completely or filters light, allowing a gentle glow to bathe the room? Do you want heavy curtains that insulate the inside from the external climate, or do you want something light and gauzy that will allow the outside breeze in? Colours: If you are not sure about the colours, consult colour schemas that can be used as a starting point. You can also use your current paint colors or shades and see if they work with these colors. Privacy: Do you want privacy from the outside world or do you enjoy watching the world go by from inside the room? Decoration: Do you want a decorative touch to your room or do you want a minimal, understated look? Adding a Different Touch to Your Window with Curtains Window curtains are a great way to add a different expressive touch to your windows. The following 4 ways to decorate your windows with curtains will give you some inspiration and ideas for how to use them in your decor. Curtains are by far the most popular window dressing in modern homes. They’re also among the cheapest and easiest to swap out in order to change the look of your windows. Whether you’re looking for a quick way to update your décor, or you’re trying to find ways to bring some life into your living space, there’s a good chance curtains will do just the trick! Experiment with these tips: Use two different types of curtains on one window. Add some colour with a patterned curtain. Use a sheer curtain as the main design element on the window and then add other decorative elements like flowers, plants, or artwork for accents. Hang a sheer curtain from ceiling to floor and then hang another curtain below it for an elegant look that will create depth in the room.
