You can financially support my ministry by giving here online, or you can mail checks to FBMI, 507 State Street, Hammond, IN 46320, and designate your giving to Missionary #6402. In my last prayer letter, I mentioned that our team was able to distribute Bibles at an orphanage not too far from our ministry in Hua Hin. While there, I saw the state of the children's living quarters and began praying about how the Lord could use the Heavenly Treasures Orphan Project to be a help. The Lord miraculously provided within weeks, and I was able to purchase brand-new mattresses, sheets, pillows, and comforters for all 51 orphans. It was one of the most amazing and humbling things I've ever been able to be a part of. Most, if not all, of these children had never laid their heads down on a new pillow, let alone on a new mattress and bed linens. Thank you to all who participate in the Heavenly Treasures Orphan Project on a regular basis. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact me via email or my website. If you have a few minutes, this video of the children receiving their gifts will bless your heart. Click here: Heavenly Treasures – Karen Orphanage. In November, I was given the task of finding someone to make curtains for our church's expanded auditorium. After visiting several stores, I just happened upon Pinkie and her curtain shop. She came that afternoon to do measurements, and I was able to give her a tract and witness to her. I found out that her in-laws had become Christians and had also been witnessing to her for a while. She listened intently and asked quite a few questions, but she wasn't ready to trust Christ as her Saviour. About a month later when she came to install the curtains, she came with even more questions, and by the time the curtains were installed, Pinkie had trusted Christ as her Saviour! Praise the Lord! Please pray for her spiritual growth and that she might be willing to do our discipleship program with me. This year we were able to go into seven new schools to present our Christmas program, which includes an English lesson, games, a Christmas drama, and a Gospel message. We reached over 2,000 students and staff, and we were able to see a number of them trust Christ as their Saviour. Each student was given a John and Romans booklet. Each teacher and administrator received a Bible. We are excited that one of the staff ladies from a school has already started attending church faithfully. It was a particular joy for us to see some of our faithful church kids at these schools, and they loved showing us off to their friends. LukNam and Malee are pictured here with Grandma Shook and Pii Joom. The Lord has blessed us, not only with wonderful American missionary families to serve together with, but He has also blessed us with a wonderful Thai staff. These ladies are dear friends and true servants for the Lord. They are generous with their time and are always willing to help in any way needed. Some of the responsibilities covered by these ladies are managing our nurseries, cleaning the church buildings and language school, preparing the Sunday lunch meal for the congregation, doing the accounting and tax work for the church and language school, handling all the paperwork for our visas and work permits, teaching in Sunday school, translating for soul winning and the discipleship program, just to name a few. What a help and blessing they are to me personally and to our team and church ministry. This past year, our ministries we were able to see many people trust Christ as Saviour, and over 150 of those followed the Lord in believer's baptism. We expanded our auditorium, which is already filled up again, and we have nearly reached the ฿4,000,000 mark for saving to buy our own land. God has been so good to us. We are excited about what this new year holds in store for International Baptist Church of Hua Hin and International Baptist Church of Nong Plap. Please continue to pray for us, and feel free to come visit sometime and see firsthand how the Lord is working in Thailand.

As you study John, you will understand why his gospel starts at the beginning… unlike the other gospel Mark, Matthew and Luke. They start with the birth of Jesus or the Baptism of Jesus. References: NIV Bible, Life Change series: John page 21. John describes himself only as " the disciple whom Jesus loved." (John 13:23 plus ft.nt., 19:26, 20:2; 21:7, 20; see also 21:24). John was the son of Zebedee, a Fisherman (Mark 1:19-20); his mother was Salome (Mark 15: 40, Matt. 27:56). He was the brother of James (Matt. 4: 21-22). The book for this study is outlined simply, to give us a tour of the book of John. The author gives the students the time to slowly get use to the author and how he (John) writes and teaches us about the gift of eternal life Jesus offers to all who believe in Him. Outlining JOHN – One of the important guides in understanding the Bible is to identify the author's intent in writing the book. In this study, on page 11, the author asks the student to, as you initially read the book, make a broad outline of the book by giving a title to each chapter or themes within a chapter. Pages 11 and 12 provide assistance with a chapter/verse guide of important sections. Four Gospels (page 14) – The group was given enough information to compare and contrast the gospel of John with the synoptic gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke by reading "Four Gospels" on pages 14-15.

Should You Change Your Accounting Method? An Emerging Cannabis Loophole by Abraham Finberg | Jun 3, 2020 | Cannabis Business, Tax By Andrew Gradman, Abraham Finberg, and Rachel Wright Andrew Gradman is a tax attorney in Los Angeles. Abraham Finberg and Rachel Wright are principals at AB FinWright LLP. For cannabis businesses, federal income taxes can be ruinous—even in loss years. Unlike other industries, which pay income taxes only on actual income, cannabis businesses, defined in federal law as drug traffickers, are singled out for an extra tax on a portion of their expenses. As a result, even the best tax planning tends to be complex and unpredictable. Recently, however, planners have become interested in a simple loophole which could eliminate cannabis's disparate tax treatment entirely. The technique turns on a distinction between two kinds of expenditures. Since 1982, drug traffickers have been denied the deductible kind (those which, when paid or accrued, are netted against gross income to arrive at taxable income). However, they are still allowed capital expenditures (those which, when an asset is eventually disposed of, are netted against gross receipts to arrive at gross income). Thus, much cannabis tax planning revolves around trying to capitalize otherwise-deductible expenses. For other industries, Congress actually encourages this behavior. For example, IRC 263A aggressively capitalizes the indirect costs of inventory; compared to an immediate deduction, this accelerates the payment of taxes. However, IRC 263A cannot be used to capitalize expenses which would not otherwise have been deductible. In addition, businesses generally may not capitalize costs when doing so would not "clearly reflect income." IRC 446(b), 471(a). According to Treasury, this test would be failed by a retailer capitalizing indirect costs. TR 1.471-3. Thus, cannabis retailers face a particularly heavy burden: while they can generally avoid being taxed on their "direct" costs of materials and labor, they cannot avoid being taxed on "indirect" costs such as repair expenses; maintenance; utilities; rent; indirect labor (e.g. supervisory wages); costs of quality control and inspection; marketing; advertising; R&D; and pension contributions. TR §1.471-11(c). This is where the new IRC 471(c) comes in. Where IRC 471(c) applies, it suspends the "clearly reflect income" requirement in IRC 446(b) and 471(a). For tax-filing purposes, businesses can choose any method of accounting which reflects how they actually maintain their own internal books—even one which capitalizes the indirect costs for retailers, and even one which fails to clearly reflect income. To the extent cannabis retailers choose to capitalize nondeductible indirect costs in this fashion, they can shelter these costs from tax when they eventually dispose of the capitalized asset. Although no guidance has yet been issued, there is cause for comfort. First, while this may feel like an unintended loophole, it aligns directly with IRC 471(c)'s business-friendly purpose, which is to simplify the inventory accounting rules for small, owner-run businesses. Second, unlike IRC 280E, which bars illegal trafficking businesses from taking deductions, and 263A(a), which broadly capitalizes merchandisers' costs but carves out costs which are otherwise nondeductible, IRC 471(c) contains no such prohibition. Third, the IRS has long been aware of IRC 471(c)'s far-reaching potential. See Rev. Proc. 2018-40 (requesting public comments). More recently, in a March 30, 2020 report, the IRS acknowledged that it had been approached by several practitioners asking about IRC 471(c)'s impact on cannabis. The report does not concede the point; it concludes, "The effect of the law is still uncertain." Still, its failure to offer any rebuttals is telling. Executing this plan is a two-step process. Both will be handled by the business's CPA. First, the taxpayer modifies how it keeps its books and records. The point is to allocate indirect expenses to the cost of goods sold. For taxpayers not using GAAP, "books and records" and "accounting procedures" could mean various things, but as recommended by the AICPA in its July 15, 2019 policy letter, it could include accountants' workpapers (whether recorded on paper, electronically or other media); journal entries; or prepared financials. The AICPA also recommends that written accounting procedures should not be necessary, as long as the taxpayer can demonstrate it has treated costs consistently and has supporting documentation to reflect that. It also encourages that books and records "include receipts or invoices from transactions undertaken by the taxpayer, canceled checks, accounting journals and ledgers, spreadsheets, account statements, and exported data from electronic accounting software programs, such as QuickBooks." Once that is done, the taxpayer then formally requests the IRS to change its "method of accounting," for tax purposes, to reflect this new recordkeeping system. Here, the process benefits from the 2018 law's general effort to streamline small business practices. The taxpayer simply submits Form 3115, Application for Change in Accounting Method. The request is subject to a "reduced filing requirement," and is also entitled to automatic IRS consent. See Rev. Proc. 2015-13 (general rules for changes of accounting method); Rev. Proc. 2018-31 §22.19, as added by Rev. Proc. 2018-40 §3.02(3) (special rules for section 471). Taxpayers should also consider amending prior-year returns. In its policy letter, the AICPA urged the IRS to "direct examiners to suspend current examination activity for taxpayers with average annual gross receipts of $25 million or less" for issues involving capitalizing costs and methods of accounting for inventory, and suggested that "prior year audit protection" is necessary for issues where the taxpayers will file a Form 3115 changing accounting methods for 2018 and later. The method has some limits. First, it is not available for taxpayers subject to GAAP. Second, it requires a certain degree of owner involvement in management (i.e., no "tax shelters," as so defined). Third, the business must pass a "gross receipts test": For the past three years, average annual gross receipts may not exceed $25 million. Fourth, although there is nothing in the law to stop taxpayers from capitalizing all indirect costs, they should discuss the best arrangement with their tax team. Fifth, if the IRS (somehow) defeats these positions, taxpayers would face audits; back taxes; interest; and penalties. Making a change in accounting method under 471(c) is the most exciting technique in cannabis tax planning today. It has strong support in the Code and growing support among thought leaders; it yields a large tax savings from a small investment in tax planning. The only catch is the lack of regulatory guidance. Treasury should make this a priority. With every passing year, cannabis becomes a more mainstream fixture in the US economy. It is time for cannabis tax planning to become as open and transparent as the industry it represents.

Putting the story together gave me some interesting things to research about life in the tidal zone. I started asking my dad all kinds of questions that aren't in his area of expertise (he's a marine biologist). If I had questions about salmon spawning I'm sure he would have been the guy to go to, but when I asked specifics about all the little snails you find on the beach he mentioned a book he would get for me. It came in the mail a week ago and it's great. It has an entry with pictures for most of the critters living where the story is set. It's great reference and now I can tell apart the kinds of seaweed and have learned that some startfish can live up to twenty years. Perfect.

Do not rinse your mouth for 24 hours after surgery. After 24 hours, use salt water rinses. Mix ½ teaspoon of salt in a glass of warm water and rinse after each meal. Bite firmly on the gauze for 20 to 30 minutes after surgery, but no longer than 1 hour. If excessive bleeding occurs, wet a tea bag, place it over the extraction site, and gently close down with firm pressure for 30 minutes to 1 hour. You should expect a small amount of bleeding from the extraction site. A soft diet is recommended for the first 24 hours. Avoid any alcoholic and carbonated beverages. No smoking or drinking through a straw until healing is well established. Apply an ice pack (ice cubes in a plastic bag & wrapped in a towel) to the outside of the face, this will help keep the swelling down. Place firmly on the outside of the face for 1 – 2 hours. You may have been provided with a prescription for post op discomfort. Please take as prescribed and read the label carefully. Do not drive or drink any alcoholic beverage while taking pain medication. An upset stomach may be a reaction to medication. Either discontinue, or call to receive further instructions. The best way to prevent infection is to keep your mouth clean. Brushing in your usual manner after each time you eat will help prevent this. Discomfort may be most severe the first day and then diminish each day thereafter. Pain that goes away for two or three days and then comes back is not normal. If this happens, please call us immediately. This is an easy problem for us to treat if you just let us know. Do not make any important decisions for 24 hours. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery for 8 – 24 hours. A responsible person must stay with the patient for 4 – 6 hours. If the patient becomes difficult to arouse, notify us. Call 911 immediately if the patient has difficulty breathing.

« Brooks Invites Students to Enter State Video Contest to Promote Farming Brooks Announces "Green Light-Go" Support for Hempfield Township » Brooks Joins Senators in Offering Legislation on Moratorium on Polk Center Closing HARRISBURG – (October 4, 2019) Senator Michele Brooks (R-50) announced that she will join Senator Scott Hutchinson (R-21), Senator John Yudichak (D-14), and Senator Lisa Baker (R-20) in offering legislation that would institute a moratorium on the scheduled closing of the Polk State Center in Venango County and White Haven State Center in Luzerne County. "After chairing a three-hour Senate Health and Human Services Committee hearing, it became even more evident that the decision to close Polk and White Haven was made without talking to the residents and families affected, and without the input of the staff, who are the loving, familiar faces who have cared for the residents for years. It was also made without having concrete knowledge of whether adequate capacity exists to provide appropriate care to all residents in the community," Senator Michele Brooks said. "At the very least, there should be a moratorium on this decision to have a more thorough discussion that ensures that our most vulnerable citizens in our Commonwealth will be cared for in the most appropriate setting possible. While a community setting may be suitable for many, the mortality rates cited after other closures are troubling, as is the distance families would be forced to travel to see their loved ones." "The unilateral decision made by the Department of Human Services to close Polk and White Haven State Centers is forcing the families who call these Centers home to make unimaginably difficult decisions about the quality of care for their loved ones," Senator John Yudichak said. "During this challenging time, the hard-working employees of the Centers, who also face an uncertain future, have rallied around these families. In that spirit, legislators have come together in a bipartisan fashion to craft legislation that would impose an immediate moratorium on the closure of White Haven State Center and Polk State Center." "A moratorium affords the leaders and residents crucial time to fully explore options to closing and allows the employees and families to ascertain whether there are acceptable alternatives to the care provided at the centers," Senator Lisa Baker said. "The Department of Human Services is seemingly unmoved by the heartfelt appeals from the families of the residents who will be uprooted by the closure of these centers," Senator Scott Hutchinson said. "This move by DHS will be disruptive beyond description for those who have known no other home. That means it is incumbent on the Legislature to take action to protect these vulnerable individuals." "Polk and White Haven are 'home' and are 'the community' for many residents, and they should have a voice in the choice," Brooks added. Contact: Diane McNaughton [email protected] (717) 787-1322

The word probate means to prove. In Florida, probate court is where certain matters pertaining to a deceased person's estate are proved in a judicial proceeding. Basically, probate is the court's way of making sure a person's wishes are honored. If you need a high caliber probate lawyer in St Petersburg, FL, you can trust, The Hill Law Group can help you navigate the probate process. Typically, in a testate estate (with a Will) the Will names a Personal Representative to identify and collect the assets, pay the decedent's debts and expenses, and distribute the remaining assets to the named beneficiaries. Through the Will, trusts can be created for minors and other beneficiaries who need protection. If the person died Intestate (no Will,) the State of Florida determines who will be the beneficiaries or heirs. Heirs are the spouse (if one) and children. If there are no children or grandchildren, then it would be other close relatives. Passage of assets in accordance with these laws may or may not be the way a deceased wanted the assets to pass. In any event the intestate estate will have to be administered through the court probate process. If you need a probate attorney in St. Petersburg, FL, or the surrounding areas, The Hill Law Group can provide the professional legal expertise you need and deserve. I heard that Probate can take years. Is that true? Probate can be a fairly short process most of the time. While probate in Florida requires paper work and court involvement, it can be a relatively simple process and has many advantages. Probates that are lengthy and time consuming are so because of poor planning, beneficiary disagreements, or unusual ownership circumstances. The amount that a person can distribute without paying estate tax has changed once again. Here are the amounts for the last several years. The tax is determined by the year in which an individual dies. Clearly the estate tax area is a confusing and unsettled area of law. We were at the door of 2011, anticipating the estate tax limit to drop to $1,000,000 when our legislators addressed it in December of 2010. Tax issues can be quite complicated, any person who has concerns should address them to a qualified attorney.

A changing, sad, but still gorgeous and hopeful city. No need to keep reading, unless . . . However, if you have images or thoughts about cities, then please let the publisher know. Communities exist for a reason. And sometimes, it takes living in a prairie town to appreciate that. Or any rural place, for that matter. Folks need folks – to collect, share, and create a place of communion. The great Western cities – Athens, Rome, Paris, London – were places where the pressing needs of community met, where diverse ideas merged, and into fantastic amalgams of creativity grew. The narrative of a city is so important to keep alive as it changes – grows or shrinks. Sustainable urbanism envisions a city much more in line with its ecology and people. Ideas of ecological and socially just communities are growing in league with challenges to lower emissions and renew our relationship between built and natural environment. It's an interesting time of change to live in a city. I was born a third generation Vancouverite, which I've been told all my life is a rare thing. My paternal grandparents arrived as very young people, with their families, in the mid-1880's–my grandfather before the Great Vancouver Fire and my grandmother the year after. In 1928, as an 18-year-old plasterer's apprentice, my dad helped build the Hudsons Bay department store at Georgia and Granville. Visiting the city these days is a bit depressing. It belongs to the elites now and has no place for ordinary people except as wage slaves commuting from the suburbs. I was born in 1959 in Vancouver and was raised in Kerrisdale. It was a small city then; everybody on the west side knew everybody. There are still nests of old memory that remain. Stanley Park. Little Mountain. Jerrico Beach. Commercial Drive.

The etching process has great influence on the performance of solar blind detector based on AlxGa1-xN epitaxial layers on sapphire substrate with high Al mole fraction grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) method. Traditional etching methods, including wet or reactive ion etching (RIE) are hard to achieve good result due to the high chemical-stability of AlGaN films with high Al mole fraction. In this paper, we studied on the inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching (ICP-RIE) of high Al mole fraction AlxGa1-xN films (x>0.4) for fabricating high performance solar blind detectors. SiN was used as mask, and Cl2 and BCl3 were used as etching gas. Etching systems was selected from Oxford Inc. DC bias was controlled automatically. A 2.5:1 of selectivity on AlGaN and SiN was obtained with suitable flux and component of etching gas, RF power and ICP power. Etching velocity was adjusted mainly by RF power. The role of Ar, Cl2, and BCl3 in the etching process was also discussed.

Piazza dell'Architettura, Assisi September 19, 2020|BIG SEE Wood Design Award 2020 - Winner, City and community, Italy, Wood| Universo Assisi, with the artistic direction of Joseph Grima, is a festival about culture, music, art, dance, architecture, theater, which for its third edition, was focused on the topic of environmental sustainability, declined in all its forms: from technical organisation choices to the use of non-polluting materials, to the identification of locations that allow the exaltation of the landscape beauty of Assisi. With these premises and with the idea of reactivating unusual or unconventional spaces, Universo Assisi has involved Open Design School in the creation of a "Piazza dell'Architettura", under the arches of the Santa Chiara Basilica, which effectively becomes the "foyer" of the festival. Open Design School has designed a modular, open and dynamic structure, which has lent itself fluidly to being an educational space for children, a morning location for talks and collateral events, a setting for sound installations at night. The space has changed its skin according to its intended use, transforming itself into a real multigenerational aggregation center, an iconic place to be together and participate. The constantly evolving modular structure fit with the theme of the festival that deals with the theme of over tourism and the creation of formats suitable for welcoming all types of audiences, starting from children, and trying to design new strategies for a different narration of the city with the virtuous and alternative use of urban spaces, reactivated for citizens. The installation was self-built by our team in collaboration with spontaneous citizens that wanted to participate to the regeneration of a space of their city. What makes this project one-of-a-kind? For the first time ever, the space under the arches of Santa Chiara church in Assisi was turned into a community space with its own features and vocation. Over the years, infact, that space was used only as a passage alternative to the parallel street but never considered an urban public space. The installation worked around this lack of identity, providing finally a reason for the community to use the space, to stay there and have a different perspective on the square. Moreover, the multifunctional areas designed and provided, have created a gathering point of families, children, tourists, youngsters, etc that could use the facilities in different ways according to the different times in a day.

Why Did It Take Hollywood a Decade to Make a Sequel to One of the Most Successful Musicals of All Time? by Kelly Konda July 30, 2018 September 3, 2018 7 Comments on Why Did It Take Hollywood a Decade to Make a Sequel to One of the Most Successful Musicals of All Time? I don't know if you've heard by now, but Hollywood kind of likes making sequels. In fact, 2018 is currently on pace to have more sequels released into theaters than any year over the past decade. Obscure horror movies, cult comedies, quirky animation, underperforming action movies, beloved and widely-known superhero movies – you name it, Hollywood's made a sequel to it in 2018. Like any other kind of movie, some of these have flopped, others have soared, and yet others have landed somewhere in-between at the box office. Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again is thus far in the "soared" category. After 10 days of release, it is outperforming its predecessor, injecting a healthy dose of estrogen into the summer box office's steady diet of testosterone and delighting WMiF's Julianne, who argues Here Go Again is quite possibly better than its predecessor. However, one of the maddening parts of all this is just how insanely long it took for Hollywood to finally make a Mamma Mia! 2. The first film came out 10 years ago – 10 years! – and all it did was make more money than any other live action musical in history, at least until the Beauty and the Beast remake: Yet, we've had to wait all this time for a sequel. In that same exact timespan, Marvel Studios released 20 different superhero movies. But, wait, there's more. Since the release of the first Mamma Mia!, Hollywood has gone through two different Spider-Man actors, two different Batman actors, two failed Terminator revivals, over 10 different failed YA franchises, two different Final Destinations sequels claiming to be the actual final Final Destination movie, the entirety of the Kung Fu Panda, Paranormal Activity, Twilight, Taken, rebooted Star Trek, Hangover, Hunger Games, and Fifty Shades of Grey franchises, and multiple failed cinematic universes as well as the regrettable post-Avatar 3D craze. You mean to tell me in all of that time they couldn't be bothered to crank out a sequel to one of the most successful musicals in film history? What about the cautionary tale of Grease 2? – Like a failed sequel in the past would really stop Hollywood from trying it again in the future. Also, some people actually prefer Grease 2 to the original. But Mamma Mia! is based on a Broadway musical and to make a sequel would mean coming up with an entirely new story instead fo just adapting something from the stage? – Isn't that why you hire screenwriters? Plus, isn't the storyline obvious – show us how exactly Streep's character met those three chaps in the first place. Didn't the first film used up all the best ABBA songs? – Most recognizable, sure, but you're working with a pretty deep catalog there. The first Mamma Mia! didn't completely tap that well dry. Any other excuses? Come on, they made a Hot Tub Time Machine 2 before they made a Mamma Mia! 2! Actually, it's not quite as simple as all that. You can't just blame Hollywood sexism here. According to a recent Yahoo report – and, yes, Yahoo is still a thing…apparently – the studio was ready to move forward on a sequel almost immediately: "As early as the fall of 2008, just months after the first film's release, Universal co-chairman David Linde was telling press he wanted to bring the band back together for another installment." But, as with many a challenging band reunion, there was one member of the group who could make or break the deal. In this case, without Meryl Streep there would be no reunion, and she just wasn't interested. A sequel full of ABBA songs could be fun, but the first film was Streep's coming out party as a singer. She's since done Into the Woods and Ricki and the Flash, but in its day Mamma Mia! was largely sold on the have-to-see-it-to-believe-it spectacle of one of history's greatest actors dancing and singing fluffy pop songs. Moreover, her character forms the heart of the story. Hell, she's the "Mamma" in "Mamma Mia." How can you do a sequel without her? You can't, but sadly, much like Denzel Washington, she had a rule against ever doing sequels. It's a rule she eventually broke, obviously, agreeing to a significantly reduced role in Here Wo Go Again. It just took the producers a decade to get her to say yes. It's sheer coincidence Streep's first sequel arrived in the same weekend as Denzel's first sequel, The Equalizer 2. Here's original Mamma Mia! creator Judy Craymer, who first thought up the musical in the 80s and has remained involved as a producer for every iteration across stage and screen, on the process of convincing Streep: "She's the most lauded actress and the most extraordinary actress in the world so she doesn't do sequels, so to speak. I think it was like, what would she be doing in there? And it had to be something really interesting. She gave 295% of her energy on the last film and I don't think she wanted to be running around cliff tops singing a bunch of ABBA songs if it wasn't interesting." The turning point came when Craymer turned to Love, Actually's Richard Curtis to come up with a story idea. It was his unique bit of inspiration to use The Godfather II as a story guide for a flashback structure contrasting the child (Amanda Seyfried's returning Sophie) and parent's experiences when they're roughly the same age that cracked it. By flashing back to the younger version of Streep's character – ultimately played by Lily James – and exploring exactly how she met the three men from the first film, they could continue the story without overly burdening Streep. Here's how the Here We Go Again cast reacted to Streep's general absence Not everyone was on board with this, though. Neither the first film's director (Phyllida Lloyd) nor its writer (Catherine Johnson) agreed to return to see it through. Ol Parker, a friend of Curtis' and well-established with his won Best Exotic Marigold Hotel movies, stepped in to direct. Once they finally got Streep to agree to return and sing two ABBA songs they had the green light from the studio and a 44% increase on their production budget from the first film. Now, the hope is Here We Go Again will have enough legs at the box office to warrant a third film. If so, they won't wait another decade to make it. "I know it would have to be done much faster," Craymer laughed, because otherwise, "we'll be quite old." Every Direct Sequel Released Into Theaters Since the First Mamma Mia!

I mean, to me the important part of an adaptation is to have the two "B" of ABBA in the team. It can't be an accident that the sequel gets released the very same year ABBA has announced new songs for. That's certainly possible, but the story they're telling is it all came down to Streep. Interesting although this list excludes straight to video or tv movie sequels. Speaking of which cant wait for sharknado 6 to come out when are you going to review the sharknado series kk? What we the audience really need is a third joker movie starring mark hamil and more on par woth the 60s caped crusader adventures to add to the two already in the pipeline. Or wheel in jack nicholson from retirement to do an old joker. Joel schumacher can direct. Elwyn Chow says: The list would be more interesting if it had different colours to represent flops, successes etc I don't think anyone needs to watch any of the Sharknado films. They are just genuinely terrible and not unintentionally terribly hilarious. You're not wrong, but the point of the list wasn't to rehash the failures and success stories of all sequels over the past decade but instead to simply shame Hollywood through the sheer exhaustive listing of every damn sequel that got made before Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. A follow-up piece analyzing the failures and success would be interesting as it would break down what's worked and what hasn't, but it's secondary to what I was going for. Incidentally, I have since replaced the original list – which was ordered according to release date – with an alphabetized one for quicker/easier reading. I have the sense that even the Sharknado fans have tired of the films by now, but I'd have to check the ratings to verify. "Interesting although this list excludes straight to video or tv movie sequels. " I had to draw the line somewhere. You could also add in the number of movies which now have their own TV shows, like Mortal Instruments, Puss N Boots, Boss Baby, How to Train Your Dragon, etc. I stopped short of all that because there is still a set cost attached to releasing something in theaters which far exceeds simply going straight to video or to Netflix. Last estimate I heard is even the smallest of small movies is looking at a minimal marketing spend in the $30m territory. So, to actually go in theaters is a much bigger and riskier investment. "Speaking of which can't wait for sharknado 6 to come out when are you going to review the sharknado series kk?" I've only ever seen the first Sharknado, and it wasn't for me. It's a tricky thing, that whole "so bad it's good" act. When you actually do it intentionally it's just not as fun [Piranha 3D is one notable exception]. That being said, I did recently see the trailer for the new Sharknado and the punny title playing on time travel did get a laugh out of me. Fair point re rules for counting sequels and yes lots of tv spin offs. What about 80s reboots and sequels. Lethal weapon. Charlies angels. Umm fraiser? Re sharknados they do get better. Or worse lol. Try sharknado 2 if not convinced. The first one os a bit poor. Previous Entry Review: There's No Resisting Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again Next Entry It's Rumor Time: Lucas Returning to Star Wars?

MRS. OBAMA: Well, hello, everyone! (Applause.) Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas! Where are my children? Merry Christmas! Are you guys excited that in a couple of weeks, a few weeks it's going to be Christmas, and you're going to be out of school, and Santa is coming? Come on, don't act like you're not losing your minds. I know you are. (Laughter.) They are in my household. It's always a pleasure to be with you guys. I have to say, this visit is always one of the highlights of the holiday season for me because it's always a pleasure to be here with you guys again. And I'm not going to talk for long, because I'm here to actually work, to sort toys. And I've got some helpers over there, and maybe a few of you will join in -- except for that one that's asleep. (Laughter.) That little one. He'll wake up before I go. I promise, he'll be up. (Laughter.) But we're going to get some work done sorting some toys. But first I want to thank a few people. Of course I want to thank Lieutenant General Osman, not just for that wonderful, gracious introduction, but the truth is that his leadership is really what makes Toys for Tots so successful. He is an amazing man, and he's a very easy person to follow. I love working with him, so I want to thank him. I also want to thank your base Vice Commander, Colonel Peters, as well as Lieutenant Colonel Johnson and Gunnery Sergeant Givans, who are helping and taking the lead to run the Toys for Tots drive here in the Capital Region. And I want to recognize all of the outstanding folks from our White House Communications Agency -- we call them our WHCA folks. Let's hear it for WHCA! (Applause.) They keep us connected. Because of you, I can talk to my husband when he travels around the world. Thank you for that. And thank you for bringing your families. Hopefully we got a few family members here. You guys, we really love you all, and this is a great way to get a chance to see you during the holidays. MRS. OBAMA: I love it. Do that again. MRS. OBAMA: That's so good, so good. Once again, through Toys for Tots, you all are getting it done, and you're doing it by spending countless hours making the holidays so much brighter for so many children across the country. And it takes a lot of hard work to get this done. You spend months, sometimes, out in the cold, collecting all the toys, those donation boxes. You spend days and nights sorting all the toys. I mean, I come here for a couple of hours, but you guys are doing this day after day for weeks at a time. You handle the mind-boggling logistics of getting all these toys to children across this country. What an amazing impact you all have had over these years. And think about what that means -- the millions of moments of joy and gratitude that you all are responsible for because of the work you do. That moment that little girl unwraps her first train set maybe, or a teenager puts on his first collared shirt or gets that computer game he's always wanted but never thought he would get. Or the struggling single parent that breathes a sigh of relief because there will be presents under the tree after all. Every year, the truth is no matter what is going on in their lives, these Marines and their families, they make millions of Christmas wishes come true. And more than anything else, it's that kind of commitment to giving back, that spirit of service that truly characterizes our men and women in uniform and their families, not just around the holidays but every single day of the year. I have seen this again and again as I've visited military bases and communities across this country and around the world. You want to know why I love Toys for Tots? Because I also love our men and women in uniform, and I respect the work that you do. And I do everything I can to support it. I've met folks in uniform who are stationed overseas, far away from their own kids, but they find the time to spend their free time volunteering with kids in a local school where they are, showing by their example what America really stands for. I've seen military spouses who are juggling the demands of their jobs and the needs of their families, and also managing those constant moves from base to base every couple of years, but they still find time to run the Family Readiness Groups, or to volunteer at a church. Shoot, I've met our amazing military kids, so many of them who have to start all over again every couple of years at a new school, but they still manage to get straight A's, and they still find time to help out at home when their mom or dad is deployed. See, our men and women in uniform and their families are from every corner of this country. They're from all backgrounds, all walks of life. But every day, day after day, they come together for a cause greater than themselves. So really, with the service of our Marines, your service to this country, you all remind us what it means to be part of our great American story. And during these challenging times, you remind us what makes this country strong. And it is our diversity. It is our generosity. It's our willingness to sacrifice on behalf of folks we may never meet, but who we know are our brothers and our sisters nonetheless. See, with your courage and your patriotism, you remind us that what binds us together as Americans is so much more important than our differences. And all Americans should be inspired by the example you all set. All of us should follow your lead. We should all be reaching out to one another and showing compassion for those who struggle, even if they're different from us –- in fact, especially if they're different from us. And we should all be doing our part to give back in our communities through programs like Toys for Tots. And it's not too late to pitch in. So anybody who's watching, one of the reasons I do this is because -- it's not too late. We still need lots of toys, lots of people to step up and do what they can. And people can still go to Toys for Tots' website. You can give online or you can find the nearest drop-off center to leave some toys for kids in need. One of the things I point out -- I try to push that every year, we try to make sure that kids get something for teenagers, because a lot of times we like to buy the cute little dolls and the things that are really sweet, and we have to remember there are kids 13, 14, 15, 16, 17 who still need to have something under the tree. So let's not forget our teenagers. That's what we do at the White House every year. And because our staff steps up every year, today, we've arrived with a bunch of toys, cars full of toys for those -- from our team who have contributed. Once again, we were all inspired by your example this holiday season. And we know that for all of you -- all of our Marines, our families, our WHCA staff, our team -- every day in every season is an opportunity to give more than you receive. It's an opportunity to sacrifice on behalf of others. So today, on behalf of myself and my husband, I want to once again thank you all for your extraordinary service to our communities and to our country. You all make us proud every single day. And from everyone at the White House, and from everyone in my family, we wish you all a very happy holiday season and a happy and very healthy New Year. All right?

Commercial real estate investment is a key factor in preserving the buildings, row houses, lofts, and apartments that compose the metropolitan Washington, D.C. area. As these buildings age, important investment techniques must be enacted. Preserving what the city had, and setting the foundation for a healthy future are important responsibilities for real estate investors. More often than not, structural and cosmetic concerns need to be addressed with a high sense of urgency. The decision to invest in long-term solutions will pay higher dividends, as opposed to short-term fixes. This becomes especially relevant for an investor looking to resell the property in a year or two. However, some short-term solutions are needed when time and other resources are scarce. Landscaping is the best way to greatly improve the appearance of any property. Simple cosmetic solutions such as lighting improvement, broken window repair, and odor removal are inexpensive jobs, yet critical selling points to future tenants. Real estate investors within the D.C. area must maximize income and decrease future expenses. Increasing the rent, supplying tenants the option to use quarter-fed washer and dryer machines within the complex, and vending machines are all excellent options. Environmental pollutants alter policy decisions on Capitol Hill and commercial property building requirements. External appearance, while a critical selling point, is no longer the sole concern of tenants. In D.C., it is important for a property owner to obtain a clean Environmental Phase One Report (EPOR). This will verify the building is free of asbestos, radon gas, and run-off/oil contaminants. While a minor formality, it is necessary to reduce the green footprint of land development. While the pressure to embark on a journey to save the history surrounding D.C. for a property investor is minimal, potential repercussions must be taken into account. In recent years, the city has invested valuable resources into jumpstarting the economy, lowering crime, and improving the public education system. Investors should embrace the responsibility of providing environmentally friendly, structurally sound, and aesthetically pleasing living spaces to D.C. citizens. Smart real estate initiatives and long-term investments will heighten the allure of living in our nation's capital—beyond 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. This article was published by JeffLeighton. Jeff (J.R.) Leighton is the owner of Action Homebuyers, a Washington, D.C. real estate investment company that buys houses in as little as 7 days as a solution for homeowners looking to sell their property quickly, "as is," and without real estate agents.

Forget about Joseph Gordon-Levitt's ridiculous Pepé Le Pew French accent. Forget about his weird toupé and blue contact lenses, forget about candy colored fairyland a.k.a. Paris in the first hour. Robert Zemeckis's new film The Walk still works as a thrilling movie experience because of its 20 minute sequence of 'the walk' itself, shot in stereoscopic 3D and presented in IMAX. The film is a dramatization of a real event that took place in New York in 1974. A crazy little Frenchman, Philippe Petit, aided by his friends, pulled a stunning and ultimately awe inspiring stunt - high-wire walking between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, then still under construction. The thing is, we know about this event already, thanks to James Marsh's superb 2009 Academy Award winning documentary Man on Wire which played out like a great caper film. Even though the film says it is based on a true story, the look and feel of The Walk is nothing but. Gordon-Levitt narrates his story from the CGI-ed torch of Statue of Liberty, looking like a caricature of a Frenchman in some corny children's book. The tone of a street performer/tightrope walker's early life is that of a fairy tale - an exotic foreign circus manager Papa Rudy (played by weirdly deflated Ben Kingsley) taking little Philippe under his wing, romancing a wide-eyed gamine street musician, Annie, (Charlotte Le Bon), and Philippe performing in the impossibly clean Paris street under CG Eiffel Tower. There is even a Keystone cop chase sequences in black and white for no apparent reason. After successfully executing the walk between two steeples of the Nortre Dame, things get into a high gear once Philippe and his friends, who believe and shares his dangerous and beautiful vision, set the date of their coup and fly over to New York. With the help of newly recruited accomplices - a street smart electronics salesman (James Badge Dale) and a wildly mustachioed American insurance executive (Steve Valentine), who has an office on the 82nd floor of the North Tower as their inside man, they scout and execute the clandestine plan to get the wire across from the South to North Towers with the bow and arrow, while evading the eyes of security officers and construction crew. Zemeckis is obviously targeting the widest audience with The Walk. Things are kept energetic and humorous and colorful, faithfully following the almost childlike enthusiasm of Petit as we saw in Man on Wire and his Oscar acceptance speech. But as an adult living in a cold, hard world and one of eight millions who calls New York home, I had a very hard time buying into the juvenile tone of the film. And is it only me who feels that Gordon-Levitt's face is growing more and more insincere every year? He'd make a great villain one day. But it's all about the thrill of experiencing the walk itself between the 110 story Twin Towers: as we are watching from all the impossible angles as Philippe starts walking on the thin steel wire stretched across 140 feet. Especially when looking down, Zemeckis accomplishes the impossible feat of duplicating what it must've been like on the wire 1,300 feet above the ground. All it lacks from the real thing is the wind blowing on your face. Somebody invent The Blowervision already! I always thought the Twin Towers were ugly. But I never knew that gazing at them from Radiohead concert at Liberty State Park a week before 9/11 was the last time I'd see them standing. Seeing the truss of the Twin Towers automatically gives many who remember a strong emotional response. Zemeckis handles 9/11 aspect of the WTC much more gracefully than I expected. One of the more poignant moments, Annie declares that what philippe's daring-do accomplished was to give a soul to those buildings. Petit's special bond to the towers was sealed early on, but it was to be forever. But one of the reasons why Man on Wire is a superior film is seeing the emotional responses of the two events on people's faces. We can read it on faces of Petit and everyone involved as they reminisce the walk in that documentary coupled with the fate of those towers. You can't fake that even with all the technology in the world.

Perculiar Adimabua '20 is majoring in French Chemistry and is studying at the Univerisite de Franche Compte in Besancon, France. My name is Perculiar and I am junior currently studying at the Univerisité de Franche Compte, in the beautiful city, Besançon. My long dream of surrounding myself with the French culture became a reality thanks to the ISEP program and Ingrid H. and George L. Speros Scholar at LFC. Honestly, it's so hard to put in words what an incredible experience it has been and what is yet to come. However, I am going to do my best. Upon my arrival in France, I was very excited about the change and the ability to achieve my childhood dreams. However, I knew it was going to be tough, specifically adjusting to the language. I thought I prepared myself enough, but it was a whole new unexpected experience. My comprehension at first was substandard because the phonetic, the intonation, the rhythm, the enchaînement, etc was different from what I was used to and learned. But I knew I had to immerse myself in the culture to overcome that barrier. I used to feel very embarrassed whenever I spoke French because I thought it didn't sound original enough. However, when I made more friends from different Francophone countries I began to feel more comfortable. Also, UFC has a great support system as well as my amazing professors. I have honestly met incredibly talented people and made amazing friends who have positively challenged me every day to be a better person. Most weekends, I shared dinner with friends all over the world, learning how to cook Korean, Romanian, Senegalese, French meals, and many dishes. It's truly been a blessing. I have only lived in Besancon for two months and it already feels like my home away from home. Besançon is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever been to. Fall season here is just impeccable as the city is surrounded by mountains and lakes that sometimes I feel like I'm in an art painting. I know I have less than two months which is sad to think about. But I am so looking forward to what the rest of my experience is going to be. This opportunity came at the right time and I am so grateful to everyone who made this possible. Shout out to Prof. Hahn for supporting me even while I'm in France. Merci Beaucoup!

MENA Tour by Arena's 2019 season to conclude at Journey to Jordan Tour Championship The MENA Tour by Arena's Journey to Jordan ends this Thursday at the spectacular Greg Norman-designed Ayla Golf Course in Aqaba, Jordan, with the limited field of top-60 available professionals and amateurs having plenty to play for in the season-ending $100,000 Journey To Jordan Tour Championship. Apart from the honour of being called the No1 on the MENA Tour by Arena in professional and amateur categories, there is also the substantial winner's cheque of $18,000 for the pros to be decided on Thursday evening and plenty of playing opportunities to aspire for. The overall professional Journey to Jordan champion and runner-up, the leading player on the 'Final Five' Order of Merit and the Leading Amateur will earn their spot at the 2020 Omega Dubai Desert Classic (to be played at Emirates Golf Club from January 23-26). The No1 also receives invites to the Made in Denmark (European Tour) and the Diamond Cup (co-sanctioned by Japan Golf Tour Organization and the Asian Tour) in 2020. The overall runner-up will be invited to two leading Asian Tour events – the 2020 Bank BRI Indonesian Open and the season-ending Indonesian Masters (Dec 12-15). Playing on the MENA Tour alongside the professionals has been a massive learning experience, says Jordan's @SHERGOKURDI. He also speaks about the very positive impact that the Tour has had on golf in Jordan.@TGP_Dubai @AylaOasis pic.twitter.com/Ebd0nSZEm8 — MENA Tour (@theMENATour) November 25, 2019 The player finishing third in the overall Journey to Jordan will receive invites to two European Challenge Tour events. The fourth-placed player gets two Asian Tour starts, while the fifth-placed player will be assured of a Challenge Tour invitation. South Africa's MG Keyser, winner of the Troon Series Dubai Open presented by Turkish Airlines, leads the Professional Journey To Jordan with earnings of $44,361, while Australia's Daniel Gaunt, making a comeback to competitive golf after giving up professional golf in 2018, is second at $36,474. He won the Troon Series Al Zorah Open earlier this year. Former European Tour star Matthew Baldwin is third at $27,820, followed by England's James Allan ($27,037) and Frenchman Robin Roussell ($25,190). Baldwin and Roussell, who have recently finished their season on the Challenge Tour, have opted not to play this week. In the Amateur Journey To Jordan, England's Curtis Knipes is in pole position with 21,662 points, followed by the record-breaking Dubai-born 15-year-old Josh Hill (19,705). Hill generated worldwide headlines when he became the youngest player ever to win an Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) event last month at the Al Ain Open by Arena. With Baldwin not playing, only three professionals have a chance to be crowned No1 – Keyser, Gaunt and Allan. On the other hand, fifth-ranked Arjun Gupta of India (4,342 points) also has an outside chance of getting his hands on the Amateur Journey To Jordan crown.

I really can't predict what others are going to do…I can only control myself. I have had a couple of good weeks on the Asian Tour before coming here and I played well in the practice round. So, just go out there, have fun, and hopefully, at the end of the day, I am still at the top," said Keyser, who can win the Journey To Jordan by finishing solo second. Knipes, who has a lead of 1,957 points over Hill, said: "It would be nice to win the Journey To Jordan and play the Omega Dubai Desert Classic. I felt that the Open Championship at Royal Portrush (for which he qualified), was a bit of a wasted opportunity, so it would be nice to test myself again. You never know what can happen if I play well there. "Having said that, I am just trying to compete against the pros as I have done in every other tournament this year. Try and focus on the winning score and see how well I can play." The tournament starts Tuesday with Keyser, Gaunt and Allan forming the final group. They tee off at 1100 local time (1300 UAE time).

Chapter 1. Introduction -- Chapter 2. Literature review -- Chapter 3. Methodology -- Chapter 4. Results -- Chapter 5. Discussion -- References -- Appendices. In comparison with more experienced teachers, early career teachers report significantly lower levels of self-efficacy. Although the early years of teaching are a critical time for developing teacher self-efficacy, little is known about the sources of early career teacher self-efficacy judgements. Early career teachers (N=40) completed an online questionnaire assessing their self-efficacy. A smaller group (n=25) completed a reflective item which recorded the sources of their self-efficacy beliefs in the context of specific lessons they planned to deliver. Semi-structured interviews with early career teachers reporting low self-efficacy (n=3) and high self-efficacy, (n=4) probed the sources of self-efficacy in relation to the day to day experiences of early-career teaching. Consistent with the literature, participants reported lower teacher self-efficacy than the mean established by Tschannen-Moran and Woolfolk Hoy (2001). The main sources of their self-efficacy were relationships with students, perceptions of student engagement, and feedback and advice received from colleagues. The role of mastery and social persuasions as sources of early career teacher self-efficacy is discussed. Implications for the positive development of early career teacher self-efficacy are discussed. Copyright Amy Van Arkkels 2017.

Lily D'Ambrosio Member for Mill Park District About Lily Energy, Environment & Climate Change Solar Homes media-releases Banning Single-Use Plastic Bottles In Victorian Zoos All single-use plastic bottles will be banned from Zoos Victoria sites in an effort to move towards zero public waste going to landfill. From 1 May, single-use plastic bottled water and soft drinks, along with straws and plastic bags, will no longer be used or sold at Melbourne Zoo, Werribee Open Range Zoo and Healesville Sanctuary. Zoos Victoria is leading by example to reduce Victorians' impact on the environment, advance the sustainable use of resources and help protect marine wildlife. Plastic pollution is an urgent environmental problem that is having a significant impact on marine wildlife – each year Zoos Victoria's Marine Response Unit deals with an increasing number of callouts to marine wildlife in distress. Zoos Victoria is Victoria's leading zoo-based conservation organisation – this move is part of a broader effort to influence visitors and other organisations to make positive changes towards a greener, more wildlife-friendly future. From June this year, the three Zoo properties will have a new three-bin waste system available to the public – organics, comingled and soft-plastics, such as single-use food wrappers – so no public waste goes to landfill. Soft plastics will be recycled in Victoria through a circular economy arrangement where Zoos Victoria will buy back products made from the plastics it recycles. The Andrews Labor Government is banning single-use, lightweight plastic shopping bags in Victoria from November. Quotes attributable to Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change Lily D'Ambrosio "This is a great outcome for the environment and builds on the work our Zoos already do protect marine wildlife and promote conservation." "Plastic pollution is an urgent environmental problem – that's why we're banning single-use, lightweight plastic shopping bags by the end of the year." "We're investing in initiatives that maximise recycling and reduce the amount of material that goes to landfill – it's fantastic to see Zoos Victoria taking strong leadership to help achieve that goal." housing planning technology police and emergency services jobs innovation regional and rural development agriculture business energy environment View full desktop site Authorised by Lily D'Ambrosio, Shop 2/30 Oleander Drive, Mill Park VIC 3082.

Glossy 50 2021: Jean-André Rougeot, president and CEO at Sephora Americas by Priya Rao When Jean-André Rougeot became president and CEO of Sephora Americas in 2019, he was largely seen as a rule breaker industry-wide. In hindsight, his style was perfectly suited to the last two years, as the company made adjustments in response to pandemic lifestyles and racial reckonings. Though Rougeot is a beauty executive through and through, having previously served as CEO of Benefit Cosmetics and president and CEO of the Coty Division at Coty, he has never been afraid of change. Case in point: Sephora's partnership with Kohl's, secured in December 2020. Kohl's beauty experience was nascent prior to Sephora coming along, but Rougeot saw the melding of the retailers, which debuted this August, as a step to growth. "​​I've always said that Sephora has a reach opportunity," said Rougeot. "We are very good at talking to and selling to consumers that know us — we have over 20 million people in our Beauty Insider program. We have credibility, we do a very good job of reaching out to them and presenting new brands to them, and we have an amazing assortment of brands. But our challenge is: How do we talk to another 20, 40, 50 and 100 million people?" Sephora has long been known for its urban, downtown and mall-centric footprint, but suburban shoppers want the best in beauty, too. And when Rougeot was looking for a partner to bring that Sephora ambition of latitude to reality, he said Kohl's quickly led the pack of possible contenders. But its locations weren't the only thing that sealed the deal. "We have great respect for our brands, so it was very important to us to find a partner that looked at brands not as vendors, but as partners," he said. Judging by Kohl's relationships with Nike, Levi's and Under Armour, Rougeot found a fit. Sephora is known for its brand building expertise, having found and incubated many of the most exciting brands of the moment, including Tatcha and Drunk Elephant. And at no point did Rougeot want that prestige beauty vision to be diluted. "I have a lot of respect for our competitors that do very different things. But our lane is a good lane. We've been having amazing years — the numbers are staggering. We're eating market share and winning in a big way because we are staying true to who we are: We're bringing great brands and great stories to our consumers," he said. Our lane is a good lane. We're eating market share and winning in a big way because we are staying true to who we are: We're bringing great brands and great stories to our consumers. Jean-André Rougeot president and CEO at Sephora Americas And the like-mindedness between the companies doesn't end there, from Rougeot's perspective. "Kohl's is a forward-thinking company. They are committed to the internet — even before the crisis, e-commerce was about 25% of the business. And they've made a big commitment to operations, with things like buy-online, pick-up in-store," said Rougeot. As Sephora has made leaps toward similar goals, Rougeot hopes to enable BOPIS and same-day delivery for orders placed on Sephora.com or Kohls.com to both companies' stores in 2022. "It's a big project, from a systems point of view, and complicated with two big corporations. But I am hopeful. At some point next year, you are going to see a lot of that going on," said Rougeot.

A number of organizations have joined together to promote expanded health care access for low-income Alabamians who don't currently qualify for Medicaid. The new coalition is called Alabama's Better Economy Starts Today, or Alabama's BEST. It will advocate expanding access to health care by allowing more Alabamians to participate in the Medicaid program – or by developing an Alabama-driven alternative to expand access to care. The effort is vital for the health of Alabama's people and its economy. Studies by the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the University of Alabama conclude that expanded coverage would provide access for 300,000 Alabamians, almost two-thirds of whom are employed, and create 30,000 new jobs in health care and other industries as well. A website, www.alabamasbest.org, will continue to highlight the facts related to expanded health coverage. A recent addition is lasts week's study from The Commonwealth Fund, which underscores the fact that states like Alabama will pay the cost of expanding Medicaid elsewhere but will reap none of the benefits. Partners in Alabama's BEST to date include: Alabama Arise, AARP Alabama, Alabama Hospital Association, American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, Alabama Appleseed Center for Law and Justice, American Heart Association, the Alabama Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, Alabama Disabilities Advocacy Program, the Jefferson County Children's Policy Cooperative, Alabama Primary Health Care Association, Disabilities Leadership Coalition of Alabama, Glenwood Autism and Behavioral Health Center, Alabama Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, Children's First Foundation, AIDS Service Organizations in Alabama, Family Voices of Alabama, American Association of University Women of Alabama and NAMI Alabama.

Frederick Dominates Washington WORCS Posted on August 21, 2011 by Podium Promotions Leave a comment Joe Colombero 8/21/11, Washougal Washington: We're going to use the word "toughest" three times – the toughest off road racers in the world took on one of the toughest courses in the US and the toughest rider won at WORCS Pro ATV Round six. Can-Am's Josh Frederick has been practicing starts and it showed as he got the first holeshot of his professional career when the gate dropped on the WORCS Pro ATV race in Washington. Frederick was followed by Maxxis's Beau Barron and Can-Am teammate Jeremie Warnia. Frederick would not hold the lead for long, as Baron quickly made his move a few turns later and took over the lead. This marked the beginning of a 1 ½ hour's long dog-fight between Frederick and Baron. Warnia also slipped by Frederick early on but Warnia (suffering from an injured thumb from a qualifying crash) could not hold off his teammate long. The battle became a game of strategy between Baron and Frederick. Baron held the lead, but needed a big gap in order to pit safely and hold the top spot. Frederick needed to close the gap and blast by when the opportunity struck. This is exactly what happened about 45 minutes into the race – when Baron pitted Frederick and Warnia motored past and kicked up enough dust to bury the pyramids. Baron, undeterred, came back and raced past Warnia and tried to close in the on the brutally fast form of Frederick. But no one was going to catch Frederick this day; when the checkered flag flew it was Josh all the way with Baron taking a well-earned second place and Warnia holding down third. "I didn't know I was in the lead," said Frederick when he got the flag. "That's why I never backed off; I thought I was in second. So it was a nice surprise when they said I won." "I didn't lose today," said Baron afterwards. "Josh Frederick just plain beat me and everyone else. But I'm happy with second on my Maxxis tires." "This is the toughest race I've ever been in," said Warnia on the podium. "I don't think anyone could've beaten Josh today." Frederick's win gave him a 25 point boost in the standing while point's leader Warnia garnered 20 for third place. This moved Frederick to 132/2 wins while Warnia still holds the lead with 137/3 wins; Baron is third in the standings with 116. tagged with 2011, BEAU BARON, JEREMIE WARNIA, JOE COLOMBERO, JOSH FREDERICK, PRO ATV, ROUND 6, WASHOUGAL MX PARK, WASHOUGAL WA

SPORTS HONOREE ― DARA TORRES Dara Torres medal designed by Eugene Daub, and reverse by Mel Wacks. Struck by The Highland Mint in quantities of 115 bronze, 60 pure silver, and 30 gold-plated silver. Obverse: Portrait, NEVER PUT AN AGE LIMIT ON YOUR DREAMS, DARA TORRES, DAUB. Reverse: THE JEWISH-AMERICAN HALL OF FAME. 49 x 47 mm. Dara Torres is arguably the fastest female swimmer in America. She entered her first international swimming competition at age 14 and competed in her first Olympic Games a few years later in 1984. At the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008, Dara became the oldest swimmer to compete in the Olympic Games. When she took three silver medals home – including the infamous heartbreaking 50-meter freestyle race where she missed the Gold by 1/100th of a second – America loved her all the more for her aston-ishing achievement and her good-natured acceptance of the results. In total, Dara has competed in five Olympic Games and has won 12 medals in her entire Olympic career (Jewish American swimmer Mark Spitz has won only 11 Olympic medals). In her first Olympic games in 1984, she won a gold medal for the 100–meter relay. She went on to compete in the 1988, 1992, 2000, and 2008 Olympics, winning five medals in 2000, more than anyone else on her team. In 2008, the oldest–ever Olympic swimmer at age 41 (and having given birth only a year earlier), she won two silver medals for 100-meter medley relay and 50–meter freestyle, breaking the American freestyle record she had set at age fifteen. Over the course of her career, she won four gold, four silver, and four bronze medals at the Olympics and broke the American record speeds for 50–meter freestyle ten times, more than any American swimmer in any event. In the Wikipedia List of Multiple Olympic Medalists, Dara is in 15th place worldwide (including both men and women), in 4th place among Americans, in 2nd place among American women, and in 1st place among all Jewish Americans. Aside from her amazing accomplishments in the pool, Dara has talents on dry land as well. A composed commentator, guest host and strong interviewee, she has appeared on Fox News, ESPN, CNN, Piers Morgan Tonight, Today Show, Good Morning America, Kelly and Regis, and many others. Additionally, Dara was the first female athlete ever to be featured in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, and in 2009, won the ESPY award for "Best Comeback." To add to Dara's accolades, she was also named one of the "Top Female Athletes of the Decade" by Sports Illustrated Magazine and in 2019, Dara was inducted into the U.S. Olympic and ParalympicHall of Fame. A top-selling author, her memoir, "Age is Just a Number: Achieve Your Dreams at Any Stage in Your Life," was published in April, 2009 and was listed as one of the top 25 best-selling business books by June of that year. Her second book, "Gold Medal Fitness: A Revolutionary 5-Week Program" hit stands in May, 2010 and became a New York Times Best-Seller.

Here is the code. public static void publishToArtifactoryPro(String groupId, String artifactId, String version, Collection artifacts) throws JarMigrationServiceException{ // create an ivy instance IvySettings ivySettings = new IvySettings(); ivySettings.setDefaultCache(new File("ivy/cache")); // use the biblio resolver, if you consider resolving // POM declared dependencies IBiblioResolver br = new IBiblioResolver(); br.setM2compatible(true); br.setUsepoms(true); br.setName("ibiblio"); br.setRoot(Constants.ARTIFACTORY_PRO_RELEASE_LOCAL); ivySettings.addResolver(br); ivySettings.setDefaultResolver(br.getName()); Ivy ivy = Ivy.newInstance(ivySettings); //you always need to resolve before you can retrieve ResolveOptions ro = new ResolveOptions(); // this seems to have no impact, if you resolve by module descriptor (in contrast to resolve by ModuleRevisionId) ro.setTransitive(true); // if set to false, nothing will be downloaded ro.setDownload(true); // 1st create an ivy module (this always(!) has a "default" configuration already) DefaultModuleDescriptor md = DefaultModuleDescriptor.newDefaultInstance( // give it some related name (so it can be cached) ModuleRevisionId.newInstance( groupId, artifactId+"-envelope", version ) ); // 2. add dependencies for what we are really looking for ModuleRevisionId ri = ModuleRevisionId.newInstance( groupId, artifactId, version ); // don't go transitive here, if you want the single artifact DefaultDependencyDescriptor dd = new DefaultDependencyDescriptor(md, ri, false, false, false); // map to master to just get the code jar. See generated ivy module xmls from maven repo // on how configurations are mapped into ivy. Or check // e.g. http://lightguard-jp.blogspot.de/2009/04/ivy-configurations-when-pulling-from.html dd.addDependencyConfiguration("default", "master"); md.addDependency(dd); // now resolve ResolveReport rr = null; try { rr = ivy.resolve(md,ro); if (rr.hasError()) { throw new RuntimeException(rr.getAllProblemMessages().toString()); } } catch (ParseException e) { throw new JarMigrationServiceException(e.getMessage(), e); } catch (IOException e) { throw new JarMigrationServiceException(e.getMessage(), e); } try { ivy.publish( ModuleRevisionId.newInstance(groupId, artifactId, version), artifacts, "artifactory-publish", new PublishOptions() // this is from the envelop module .setConfs(new String[]{"default"}) ); } catch (IOException e) { throw new JarMigrationServiceException(e.getMessage(), e); } } Here is the error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: ivy file not found in cache for com.mycompany#MAO;1.1.2: please resolve dependencies before publishing (ivy/cache/resolved-com.mycompany-MAO-1.1.2.xml) at org.apache.ivy.core.publish.PublishEngine.publish(PublishEngine.java:105) at org.apache.ivy.Ivy.publish(Ivy.java:600) at com.mycompany.is.dt.Utilities.JarMigrationUtility.publishToArtifactoryPro(JarMigrationUtility.java:96) at com.mycompany.is.dt.controllers.JarMigrationService.main(JarMigrationService.java:29) So I am confused because it says ivy file not found in cache but you can see that I am setting the cache here ivySettings.setDefaultCache(new File("ivy/cache")); And when I go to ivy/cache/com/mycompany/MAO I see the jar there... Any ideas?

STV/GWD When Gary Doven and his wife, Shauna, founded GWD in 2002, they were combining their experience in the mining, oil and gas industries. Gary had worked as a designer and design manager for engineering firms and Shauna, who started her career as a designer, had spent several years at an operating company where she managed environmental compliance and safety for oil and gas operations. "For a company started out of our house and without the expectations of being as big as we are, everything we did was based on being a small company, and while we are no longer that small company, we still maintain the culture and the feel of a small company and engage our employees at a personal level," Gary Doven says. In February, GWD was acquired by employee-owned STV. Formerly the GWD president, Doven is now a senior vice president of STV Energy Services Inc., and Shauna is a vice president. Other officers of GWD have also joined STV in management positions. "We hired 49 employees in 2013," Doven says. This rapid growth and a client base of 25 made the company an attractive acquisition for STV. This combined practice will be known as STV/GWD. Besides the two companies' complementary skills "outside and inside the fence," they also complemented each other geographically. "When we look at the two companies together – from our client base to our geographical areas to the services we offer – there's not much overlap in any of these areas, which is going to make us a stronger player and bring many more opportunities to both companies," Doven says. "Not only do you have the complement of services between the two companies, but our cultures are very similar," Doven explains."Shauna and I wanted to be sure this was going to be the right thing to do for our employees who have helped us get to this point. For a company as large as STV, the culture is still very much the same as the culture we're trying to instill in our company." Doven and his wife examined other acquisitions in the Denver energy industry to determine what made them successful and spoke with STV's upper management to learn the company's goals and aspirations. Their conclusion was that the acquisition would strengthen GWD and create additional opportunities for its employees. With its rapid growth, GWD by itself was competing with big and small energy services companies. "Our two challenges were the availability of quality people and managing the growth pattern that we've had," Doven declares. "The industry right now is going gangbusters, and it is really tough to find the number of people you need to do the projects you have at hand. GWD's next step was to grow from 100 employees currently to 150 to 200. That was going to be a really tough step." GWD's clients now have access to a multitude of pipeline services, including engineering design, environmental, permitting and construction support, along with the services they are currently receiving from STV. Both companies have provided project construction for their owners. Now together, STV/GWD can provide a much broader array of services to the oil and gas industry. Doven attributes GWD's success to its ability to meet schedules and offer a full range of services. "Anybody can tell clients 'no,' but we're somebody who can sit down and say, 'We can't do this, but here's what we can do,'" Doven asserts. "At that point in time, they're all ears. They want to know what you can do. That is one of the things that has made us successful." ← Halbouty Energy GroundForce geoDrilling Solutions →

Facebook bonuses will be based on how well employees help the company rout out misinformation and hate speech on its platform, reported Fortune. CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced the bonus program shift at an all-hands, media-barred meeting on Tuesday. Facebook said it wants employees to make safety and security on its platform a priority, and is aiming to do so through making it a more clear part of its compensation strategy. The way Facebook is run has "fundamentally changed," the company told Fortune in a statement, which required a shift in how its workers were incentivized, as well. According to Fortune, Facebook currently lacks a formula for weighting or assigning a dollar figure to the new bonus structure, but will let a compensation and governance committee determine the metrics. As Fortune reported, Facebook's new bonus structure is a way to address the privacy breaches, illicit content and other problems with its platform and the super-charged scrutiny it has received from lawmakers, users and the general public. How Facebook achieves its socially-oriented bonus program also will be worth watching. The program is similar to a corporate social responsibility initiative, in that it addresses, in part, the public good, but it is somewhat novel in that it directly ties that initiative to employee bonuses — partly because that level of social responsibility may be seen as core to the company's future. While Facebook has traditionally landed on best places to work lists, it has also faced internal strife over diversity and engagement initiatives. At the end of 2018, an ex-manager released a memo to employees that claimed the company is "failing its black employees;" and at the beginning of 2019, an ex-engineer claimed that workers at the company harassed her for criticizing the company's lack of diversity and sent transphobic messages claiming she should be fired. Facebook is far from alone in facing diversity issues in the tech realm, but it is in a class of its own (perhaps alongside Twitter) in dealing with the public over how its platform is used. The bonus structure, while announced at a closed meeting and clearly meant to provide internal messaging, could also serve as a form of external messaging about what the company values — increasingly necessary as more candidates seek to align themselves with companies that reflect their values.

Image copyright Getty Images Image caption In March last year, the Omicron virus arrived from Asia via landmail Two new cases of the deadly crypto fungal infection omicron have been found in the US – in North Carolina and Idaho. The first, from North Carolina, was the result of ingestion of imported camp food. The second, in Idaho, is the result of natural exposure – a person contracting the disease in another state. The fungus can cause flu-like symptoms in susceptible individuals, and is extremely deadly to those with weakened immune systems. Ohio-based biotech company Omicron BioSciences and Texas-based Ag Biotech International licensed the virus to the US Food and Drug Administration, and have launched tests to establish if the new cases are isolated or part of a larger outbreak. Both states are just outside the borders of the "epidemic potential" area – defined as state or district close to which the fungi can flourish. There have been no reported cases of the illness in North Carolina or Idaho since the cases became known. In March last year, the US health agency learned of a laboratory error that had allowed the omicron virus to enter the country from Asia. More than 30 cases were initially detected in Seattle and San Francisco. The new cases in North Carolina and Idaho are said to be a result of eating imported foods, not getting infected. Many foods contaminated with the microorganism have been recalled this year. Eating raw spinach or undercooked meat is thought to be especially dangerous.

Stephen Romei This is a powerful drama about an important ongoing issue. - EDIT David Stratton Thanks to the exceptional cast and the witty, smart direction, the story of what happened such a short time ago is both bitterly entertaining and unashamedly provocative. - EDIT I don't know if 1917 will, over time, become a classic among war movies, but it deserves to be included among the best of them. It's a cinematic experience that is at the same time exhilarating, nerve-racking and inspirational. - EDIT It's bright and breezy from start to finish, with an intelligent and humorous script, and engaging voice performances from Smith, Holland and Mendelsohn. - EDIT The fun and games come with seeing who becomes who. It's made even funnier this time around... - EDIT While the performances are brilliant and the songs are great, the story isn't as strong as it could be. - EDIT Normally I'm not averse to time-shifting in movies, but in this case I found the device unhelpful. Individual scenes are superbly staged and the cast is flawless, making the film essential viewing for lovers of the book. - EDIT Playing with Fire (2019) There is an OK movie trapped in here. It needs someone to helicopter in and lift it out. - EDIT The Queen's Corgi (2019) My 14-year-old co-viewer and I laughed a lot, but it was the weirdness that tickled our sense of humour. I'm not sure this is the right movie to take younger viewers to, despite its school holidays release date. - EDIT The animation is sharp, right down to Lurch's fingernails. The music is well-placed. The famous theme song pops up now and then but is not overdone. - EDIT I think The Rise of Skywalker is poorly directed, terribly filmed, clumsily edited, lamely scripted (a perennial problem, that one) and badly acted. - EDIT Portrait of a Lady on Fire (Portrait de la jeune fille en feu) (2020) Portrait, winner of the Best Screenplay award at Cannes this year, depicts the aspirations, hopes and dreams of its female characters and explores them with intimacy and loving insight. - EDIT And at a time when racism is once again rearing its ugly head in many parts of the world, Jojo Rabbit might, with all its faults, be just the film we need right now. - EDIT It is this part of the story, the human side, to narrow it down to our marginal planet, that holds the movie together for its three-hour run time. - EDIT The home video footage of the young couple on Hydra, and of Cohen elsewhere, is fascinating to watch. - EDIT This musical feast was filmed a very long time ago - but it feels like only yesterday. - EDIT Driver and Bening give detailed and thoughtful performances, and the film, though necessarily on the dry side, is riveting from start to finish. - EDIT Despite its length, The Irishman is riveting. It confirms Scorsese as one of the great American filmmakers. - EDIT The Wild Goose Lake (Nan fang che zhan de ju hui) (2019) There are flashbacks, chases and gun battles in rain-soaked back alleys, cigarettes are lit with old-fashioned lighters, and there are shadows galore. Visually, the film, set in the city of Wuhan, is most impressive. - EDIT The Good Liar (2019) With actors like these in top form there's never a dull moment, even when the film delves into flashbacks set in the distant past. - EDIT The Two Popes (2019) ...all these elements are exhilarating, but they're undercut by the director's addition to queasy-cam. - EDIT What was a pleasant surprise, for me, was how moving this movie turned out to be. I left the cinema thinking about what it means to have a decent life. I also decided to put Cornwall high on my to-visit list. - EDIT The songs, perhaps not as compelling as in the original, still make the heart beat faster now and then. - EDIT By the Grace of God (Grâce à Dieu) (2019) Beautifully acted and deeply impressive, By the Grace of God is suffused with a simmering anger. - EDIT At two hours and 10 minutes the film's on the long side, but it's an entertaining enough pastiche and we haven't had enough of these in the cinema lately. The production design of the cluttered house is fabulous. - EDIT Suzi Q (2019) Such glimpses of her private life unveil the story within the story. She was wild Suzi Quatro on stage and a regular woman off it. - EDIT You see the concentration. You see the sweat. You see the danger. You see the madness. - EDIT Judy & Punch (2019) Bold, yet slightly frustrating, Judy & Punch is something original in Australian cinema, and all the more commendable for that. - EDIT Official Secrets celebrates the courage of a government employee who attempted to prevent the invasion at considerable risk to herself and to those she loved. - EDIT Flanagan pulls it off, especially in the extended climactic sequence. - EDIT It's an easy film to look at, but it should be more than that. - EDIT This terrific movie, so honest, open, smart and touching, is a little gem. - EDIT Bell is terrific in the title role and the film as a whole is a confident combination of the amiable and the uncompromising. - EDIT Emu Runner (2018) Emu Runner was clearly a labour of love for everyone who worked on it. It's a small film but one that can be enjoyed by audiences of all ages. - EDIT Pain and Glory (Dolor y gloria) (2019) For all those cinemagoers who have been enthralled by Almodovar's work over the years this very personal movie, with its superbly pitched central performance by Banderas, will be immensely rewarding. - EDIT It is to the director's credit that he dwells on the inner life of all of the characters, even the original Terminator. - EDIT Pavarotti (2019) I walked out of this movie feeling good, which I think is the gift Pavarotti returned to everyone. - EDIT The film's main strength lies in its convincing depiction of what it was like to live under the restrictive totalitarian state that was East Germany. - EDIT Even by its own humble standards the plot is poorly worked out (a few lame attempts at social commentary criticising the rich are feeble in the extreme) and the dialogue is wretched. - EDIT Blinded by the Light (2019) The film feels authentic in its depiction both of Javed's family but also the changes that took place after what seems to have been akin to a religious conversion. - EDIT Maiden (2019) Without revealing too much, it's fair to say Maiden, Edwards and her crew did better than most people expected. - EDIT Locusts (2019) Some talented actors are involved - including Andy McPhee as Ryan's friend - and Davis does his best to bring cohesion to the material, though the wobbly camerawork is, as always, an unnecessary distraction. - EDIT Slam (2018) Overall, Slam is very impressive: it tells an important story in a convincing and enthralling way. - EDIT Garland must have been exasperating to work with, but Zellweger's performance goes right to the heart of what made her a superstar. - EDIT El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie (2019) Graeme Blundell In the end, though, we are left with little more than a movie that follows a renegade hero trying to flee from the authorities chasing him down while the narrative flashes back to the memories he can't outpace. - EDIT Working Woman (2019) Ben-Shlush is excellent as Orna, while Noy exudes faded charm as the boss who treats his female employees shamefully. - EDIT The King (2019) Adam Arkapaw's sombre, mellow cinematography is simply splendid and all elements of the production, notably the costumes designed by Fiona Crombie and Jane Petrie, are flawless. There's also a great music score by Nicholas Britell. - EDIT ...the script and plot are dull and obvious. The attempted humour is anything but funny. - EDIT Lee has made good movies, notably Brokeback Mountain in 2005, for which Heath Ledger should have won an Oscar. Unfortunately Gemini Man is not one of them. - EDIT With the school holidays on, this movie is a colourful and entertaining 90 minutes for kids under 10. The songs are easy on the ear and there are a couple of good jokes for the adult minders. - EDIT • David Stratton • Eddie Cockrell • Evan Williams • Geraldine Pascall • Graeme Blundell • Iain Shedden • Ian Cuthbertson • Justin Burke • Kerrie Murphy • Lynden Barber • Michael Bodey • Phoebe Morgan-Hunn • Stephen Fitzpatrick • Stephen Romei • Tony Moore

I've shown a positive response to the Sorafenib and I am ready for a stem cell transplant. Yesterday I got the results of my recent biopsy, and finally the results were good. I've been taking Sorafenib for a month now, and it has shown a marked reduction in the level of residual disease in my bone marrow. There is still a tiny trace, but my consultant expects the downward trend to continue. I'm having a repeat biopsy to confirm that next week, but my team have said they are happy for me to proceed with the transplant. I'll be having full conditioning treatment now though, and that should help kick those trace remnants of disease into touch before receiving my sister's shiny, healthy new stem cells on 17th February. Then my new life can begin! The transplant whirlwind begins next week, with blood tests and insertion of my Hickman line, but my transplant co-ordnator has kindly left me a few days clear so I can have a few days away with the family before I check in to hospital on the 8th February. I intend to make the most of the free time I have before the long stay in hospital. It's a bit daunting, because I know I'm going to be given some horrible drugs, I'm going to be pretty ill, and it's going to be a long hard slog. It's also exciting because it's giving me the hope of a cure and the potential to regain my life again. It also feels like the end is in sight. So I'm feeling excited and scared and nervous and determined all at the same time. Aaaaaaarrgh!!!!!! I'm trying to focus on the things I can control. Like what I can take in to hospital with me. I've treated myself to some lovely toiletries and today I bought a yoga towel which folds up really small so I can do some gentle yoga stretches in hospital. I'm going to look up a few videos with simple yoga and meditation practices I can manage in hospital. These are some the things I can do for myself to make the experience more bearable.

Richie Ramsay is wary of tough times ahead for Scots Keeping two Scots in world's top 100 is no mean feat, says Richie Ramsay Richie Ramsay is one of four Scots at the Turkish Airlines Open Depending on your point of view, having two Scots in the top 100 of golf's world rankings is either an admirable effort in a global pursuit of formidable depth or a poor return for a nation that gave birth to the game. The upwardly mobile Robert MacIntyre is the standard bearer on that particular pecking order at No.83 with Florida-based Russell Knox behind him at No.96. For Richie Ramsay, who is currently ranked 216th but once reached a high of 52nd, the sight of two of his compatriots in the elite echelon remains something to savour. Enjoy these moments, reckons Ramsay, because things are only going to get harder. "Just because we are Scotland and we are the home of golf, we don't have any right to be on top of the world rankings," said the Aberdonian ahead of this week's Turkish Airlines Open. "Two players from Scotland inside the top 100 is ok." Ramsay likes to look at the wider picture of golf in this country when blethering about such topics. While there is plenty of good work being done to bolster participation, the closure of courses, the lack of juniors at certain clubs and a variety of other social, economic and recreational challenges all impact on the development of the next generation. "The stats show that there are not as many junior members coming through, people are less active and all this tends to work against you," he added. "There are not exposed to golf as much so it gets harder to bring players through. READ MORE: Justin Rose eyes hat-trick in Turkey "It's certainly not going to get any easier. On tour, you have to improve just to hold on to your position. If we still have two players in the top 100 in a few years then that's all right." MacIntyre's rise into the top 100, meanwhile, has been a timely tonic for Scottish golf. With a canny, consistent and competitive game, MacIntyre has put Oban well and truly on the global golfing map with the kind of eye-catching displays that will have him immortalised in bronze outside the Glencruitten clubhouse. A top-20 finish on his debut in a star-studded WGC event in China last week was another sign that MacIntyre is very much the real deal. Nothing has fazed the 23-year-old during his rookie season and this week's shoot-out in Turkey is yet another chance to climb the rankings, earn some serious money and grab that win that he has been threatening in a season which has included three second-place finishes. "I feel like my game is going to the next level now," said MacIntyre. "Yes, it has been a dream run for me but this is all feeling normal now. "This is the level I'm playing at now and I feel I'm doing a decent job of maintaining that level of performance. "There's no cut this week so I can be really aggressive. There's nothing to lose."

Published on Wednesday 25th January 2023 Tánaiste Visits Lebanon to meet Irish Defence Forces' personnel and Lebanese Government The Tánaiste and Minister for Defence and Foreign Affairs, Micheál Martin TD, is travelling to Lebanon this morning (25 January) for a visit during which he will meet members of the 121st Infantry Battalion UNIFIL, one of whom, Private Seán Rooney was killed on 14 December. The Tánaiste is accompanied by the Secretary General of the Department of Defence, Ms Jacqui McCrum, and the Chief of Staff of the Defence Forces, Lt Gen Seán Clancy. As well as visiting the personnel of the 121st Infantry Battalion, the Tánaiste will also meet the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, as well as the Lebanese Minister for Defence, Mr Maurice Sleem, and the Minister for Foreign Affairs & Emigrants, Dr Abdullah Bou Habib. The primary purpose of the visit will be to visit the members of the 121st Irish Polish Battalion of UNIFIL at their camp – Camp Shamrock (UNP 2-45) – and to visit the memorial at Tibnine in honour of Irish personnel who died while serving with UNIFIL. Speaking ahead of the visit, the Tánaiste said that "it will be an opportunity for me to convey my sympathies and those of the Government to the colleagues of Private Seán Rooney on their loss and to express our heartfelt appreciation as they continue to fulfil their duties with the professionalism and dedication that one associates with the Defence Forces." The Tánaiste will also meet with the Lebanese Ministers for Foreign Affairs & Emigrants and Defence. The Tánaiste said that these meetings will enable me to reiterate "the Irish Government's determination that all of the facts and circumstances of the incident in which Private Rooney was killed are fully established and that those responsible are brought to justice." In his meeting with the United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Peace Operations, Mr Jean-Pierre Lacroix, the Tánaiste will reiterate Ireland's continued commitment, within its capability, to contribute troops to UN missions, including UNIFIL. They will also discuss the events relating to Private Rooney's death, which is currently the subject of a number of parallel investigations, including one being undertaken by UNIFIL and another by a Defence Forces Multi-disciplinary Team, which is also being supported by An Garda Síochána. Recalling his previous visit to Camp Shamrock as Taoiseach in 2022, the Tánaiste said that "it is always an honour and privilege to be able to visit Irish troops serving overseas. The outpouring of sympathy and support for Private Rooney and his injured colleagues in Óglaigh na hÉireann is a true expression of the regard in which the Defence Forces are held and a reflection of the pride of the Irish people in what they do."

High-end Whisky bottling Loch Lomond Distillers Luxury Whisky Luxury Whisky is by no means the exclusive domain of the larger manufacturers. A smaller and lesser known company, Loch Lomond Distillers, is increasing in popularity for its high-end products. Since the company changed hands in 2014, the focus of the new owners has been less on the sale of bulk spirit and more on developing premium whisky brands for sale to markets across the world. During the past 4 years, LLD's product base has increased from 150 SKUs to 850. This huge increase in its product portfolio has been largely due to the focus upon single malts, single cask bottling and, of course, label changes as, during this same period, the company has expanded its sales from 10 markets to 120, across six continents. Obviously, the maturation and storage of products for longer periods hugely increases their value so that, by the time they are bottled, the reduction in product giveaway becomes even more important. To help address such a huge transformation and increase in complexity, whilst at the same time maintaining high levels of quality and efficiency, LLD installed a Harford solution. So far, this has helped them to reduce spirit losses due to overfill and virtually eliminate paper from the factory floor. It has also improved traceability and dramatically increased the visibility of real-time performance of each production line, making any compliance, quality, overfill, inefficiency or other forms of wastage instantly visible to the whole operational and management teams. A Brief History of Loch Lomond Distillers The present Loch Lomond Distillery was opened in 1964 by the former owners of the Littlemill Distillery in Bowling. Littlemill itself dates back to 1750 and is claimed to be the oldest distillery in Scotland. It deployed a number of groundbreaking techniques to gain greater control over the distillation process. Following a succession of owners and temporary closures, it finally closed in 1989 and was sold to Loch Lomond Distillery. Following a fire in 2004, the former owner of Littlemill developed the current site for LLD. He bought innovative pot malt stills which rest in the cylindrical necks of the spirit stills. The Loch Lomond stills include special distillation trays which are said to make the process more efficient. This type of still, in addition to producing higher alcohol strengths, is also said to allow for different 'flavour notes' to be captured. This is apparently more difficult to achieve through conventional pot stills. In 2014, the Loch Lomond Group was acquired by the private equity group, Exponent. In 2016, more new stills were installed, allowing grain whisky, single malt whisky, single grain whisky and blended whisky to all be made on the same premises. Loch Lomond's bottling plant at Glen Catrine in Ayrshire was bottling more than 65 million bottles of whisky and other spirits per year in 2016. At that time, the company had already started to grow its product portfolio towards the 850 SKUs mentioned above and to expand its sales to its 120 market exposure today. In 2017, LLD launched its Loch Lomond 50-year- old single malt which sells for around £12,000 per bottle. As Tony Brewerton, Plant Director, said, "Such a rapid increase in complexity and global market growth over a four year period, creates many new challenges and risks. To help us address these we turned to Harford Control with its well-established factory floor information management system." Asked how the Harford System had helped, Tony made this comment: "Producing a great quality product, at best cost, is continuing to be a challenge for everyone in the manufacturing industry, and the drinks business is no exception. Where shelf price is increasingly sensitive, cost control continues to be challenging due to changes to employee pensions and national living wage, plus the fluctuations in the value of the pound impacting our supply chain. We have looked at every line of our accounts to seek ways in which we can reduce our overheads and waste. Our liquid is the most valuable material used in our conversion process, and reducing losses in liquid processing and bottling was a way in which we identified that we could take out cost. Before we implemented the Harford system, an analysis showed us that we were overfilling bottles by around 0.75%, which doesn't sound a lot, however, when producing at 250-300 bottles per minute, the cost very quickly adds up, especially with more valuable aged malts. One year after implementation and Harford has supported us in reducing our bottling losses to less than 0.1%, and has taken our overall end to end liquid losses down by more than 50%. This alone has delivered sufficient savings back to the business to pay for Harford. Plus, we now have the added benefit of seeing real-time performance data, that is beginning to yield greater efficiencies on our production lines, as a result of our ability to identify and tackle the biggest causes of downtime." To further reduce paper recording, improve control and increase real-time visibility within the factory, LLD have also recently installed a warehouse management system from Indigo, which already has a history with a number of companies, including Greene King and Dairy Crest. Once existing systems have bedded in, we have no doubt that Harford will be asked to link with Indigo to eliminate even more paper. With our support, Loch Lomond Group continues to go from strength to strength and in 2018 have announced a major partnership with The Open Golf Championship. This means the distiller's exciting range of single malts are 'The Spirit of The Open' raising the profile of this innovative business on the international stage. We look forward to continuing to support Loch Lomond Distillers' on-going transformation and expansion and to a long, mutually beneficial relationship.

ITIL's 2007 Edition represents an important evolutionary step in its life. The refresh has transformed the guidance from providing a great service to being the most innovative and best in class. At the same time, the interface between old and new approaches is seamless so that users do not have to reinvent the wheel when adopting it. This edition allows users to build on the successes of V2 but take IT service management even further. In general, the 2007 Edition makes the link between ITIL's best practice and business benefits both clearer and stronger. The main development is that it takes a lifecycle approach to guidance, as opposed to organising according to IT delivery sectors. To reinforce changes, the library has seen a major visual revamp with inspirational imagery based on natural themes and a new, clean layout. The Cabinet Office required products. These are the Cabinet Office Core Reference material and a range of Cabinet Office derived products. All products that are Cabinet Office-required are "Crown copyright – value-added". The ITIL Lifecycle Publication Suite – containing Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation, and Continual Service Improvement – offers considerable costs saving against purchasing all five titles individually. This introduction is your gateway to ITIL. It explains the basic concept of IT service Management and the place of ITIL, introducing the new lifecycle model, which puts into context all the familiar ITIL processes from the earlier books. It also serves to illuminate the background of the new ITIL structure. This title introduces ITSM and ITIL, explains why the service lifecycle approach is best practice in today's ITSM, and makes a persuasive case for change. other. It ensures that every element of the Service Lifecycle is focused on customer outcomes and relates to all the companion process elements that follow. Subsequent titles in the core set will link deliverables to meeting the business goals, requirements and service management principles described in this publication. Alongside the delivery of consistent, repeatable process activities as part of service quality, ITIL has always emphasised the importance of continual improvements. Focusing on the process elements involved in identifying and introducing service management improvements, this publication also deals with issues surrounding service retirement. The new core ITIL titles have been commissioned and structure to be read as a five title series, each building on the work of the other. As the five core titles reflect the lifecycle of services, their appeal encompasses the entire spectrum of people involved at any stage of the framework. So, without being the prime audience, everyone involved will benefit from access to the entire library. The ITIL Lifecycle Publication Suite contain Service Strategy, Service Design, Service Transition, Service Operation, and Continual Service Improvement and offers a considerable costs saving against purchasing all five titles individually.

Want a DMV Hearing? Soon, You'll Have to Pay in Advance. Posted on Sep. 13, 2017, 9:19 am by Shea Denning On Monday, I spoke to a group of DMV hearing officers about administrative order writing. These are the officials who hold hearings to determine whether a person's driver's license is subject to revocation or reinstatement. The bases for hearing officer action run the gamut. They exercise discretion in determining whether a person's license is revoked for accumulating too many driver's license points or for excessive speeding. They evaluate and weigh evidence to determine whether a person charged with an implied consent offense did, in fact, willfully refuse chemical testing. They hold hearings to determine whether a person whose license has been restored following a DWI has violated a condition of the reinstatement. They also determine whether to conditionally restore the licenses of people convicted of impaired driving before the end of the statutory revocation period. I can't say whether the hearing officers learned much from me. But, as is always the case when I interact with a room full of public servants, I learned something from them on Monday. Beginning in January 2018, DMV plans to assess fees for these types of hearings. Some of them are as high as $450. The backstory. Three years ago, the General Assembly directed DMV to develop a proposed schedule of fees to recover the costs of administrative hearings. See S.L. 2014-100, Section 34.9. At that time, the legislature instructed that the fee schedule be implemented by January 1, 2016. The next year, the legislature extended the fee schedule implementation deadline to July 1, 2017. See S.L. 2015-241, Section 29.30A. In 2017, the General Assembly again returned to the issue of DMV fee schedules. This year's state budget act enacted new G.S. 20-4.03, which authorizes DMV to charge a fee to individuals who request an administrative hearing. See S.L. 2017-57, Section 34.32. The new statute, which becomes effective January 1, 2018, requires that any request for an administrative hearing before DMV be in writing and be accompanied by the total applicable administrative hearing fee. If the request for a hearing does not meet these requirements, the hearing will not be granted and the pending revocation will not be stayed. The 2017 budget act also requires DMV to adopt temporary rules to implement hearing fees. The new rules. DMV published its proposed temporary rules on September 1. You can find them here. The rules provide that DMV will not accept a request for hearing that does not include the applicable hearing fee, subject to certain exceptions. DMV will hold hearings without payment of a fee to (1) review compliance with ignition interlock by a person whose license has been conditionally restored; (2) determine a person's compliance with DMV probation or a conditional restoration agreement; (3) consider alleged violations of an alcohol concentration restriction reported by an ignition interlock provider; and (4) consider the status of a previously issued motor vehicle dealer license or sales representative license. For these types of hearings, no hearing fee is charged if DMV takes no adverse action. If it does take adverse action, the person must pay the fee within 30 calendar days after the hearing or the issuance of the decision, whichever is later. Amounts that remain unpaid are collected pursuant to the statewide accounts receivable program. Waiver for indigency. The rules permit DMV to waive the administrative hearing fee for an indigent applicant, defined as an applicant with income below 150 percent of the federal poverty level as set forth in the current federal guidelines. Under these standards, an applicant from a family of four with a combined annual income of less than $36,900 would qualify for a fee waiver. The fee schedule. I promised big numbers at the outset of this post, so now it is time to deliver. Fees range from $40 for a conference to determine whether a driver is eligible to attend a driver improvement clinic under G.S. 20-16 to $450 for hearings regarding violations of alcohol concentration restrictions, ignition interlock restrictions or refusal to submit to a chemical analysis. The fee for applicants seeking the early restoration of their driver's licenses following a DWI conviction is $425. The schedule also imposes a $225 fee for an interview held before a license restoration hearing in situations involving alcohol-related convictions, suspensions, or revocations. Have thoughts about the new rules? A public hearing on the proposed temporary rules will be held on September 25, 2017 at the John Chavis Media Center, 505 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., Raleigh, NC. Comments about the rules may be sent to Helen Landi, [email protected]. The comment period ends October 2, 2017.

The 23-year-old veteran was wounded in 2011 while serving in Afghanistan when an improvised explosive device (IED) struck the truck he was in during combat. Crawford's injuries left him paralyzed completely in his right leg and with minimal movement in his left leg. "We are honored to have Specialist Crawford as a resident in Vintage Oaks and we thank him for his sacrificial service to our country," said Thad Rutherford, Chief Operation Officer of SouthStar Communities, the developer of Vintage Oaks. "This is the fourth Operation FINALLY HOME veteran home in Vintage Oaks and we can't wait to have another hero as a neighbor in our community." Crawford received a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for his service but has difficulty with everyday tasks such as washing dishes and opening cupboards and his current apartment is not ADA accessible. Now, he'll not only have a home to call his own but it will be ultra-accessible and barrier-free with automated kitchen cabinets and closet systems, a custom clothing lift and a variety of smart appliances specialized for those in wheelchairs. He'll also have a robotic vacuum and lawnmower and mechanical mop designed by robotics specialists at the University of Texas at Arlington Research Institute. "I don't know where to begin other than thank you," said Specialist Crawford. "Someone out there is more in need of a home than me. That's how I feel about it. It's definitely humbling to know that you were the picked candidate. It's the gift that you can never ask for but once you get it, you're just so grateful." SouthStar Communities provided a one-acre home site in Vintage Oaks and this is the 11th home they have worked on with Operation FINALLY HOME since its inception in 2005. With its close proximity to military hospitals and bases in San Antonio, Vintage Oaks is the fastest growing community in the Hill Country and has become one of the coveted neighborhoods in the state for veterans. The community is one of the largest contributors to Veteran Land Board loans in Texas. Its veteran population is growing each year and Vintage Oaks recently announced a new Memorial Park, which will feature a pathway of engraved stones honoring neighborhood veterans and their families. As part of the groundbreaking ceremony, SouthStar presented Specialist Crawford with the first personalized stone for the new Veteran's Walkway in Vintage Oaks. About Operation FINALLY HOME: Operation FINALLY HOME was founded in 2005 as a non-partisan/non-profit organization with the mission to provide Americans the ability to honor and thank America's wounded and disabled veterans and the widows of the fallen who have sacrificed to defend our country in the global War on Terror. Operation FINALLY HOME addresses the most pressing need of our returning heroes -- a home to call their own. The organization's reach has expanded well beyond Texas, and includes projects in New York, Kansas, North Carolina, and Tennessee. In 2010, founder Dan Wallrath was named one of the year's CNN Top 10 Heroes in honor of the program's efforts. More information can be found at Operationfinallyhome.org.

The rat medial prefrontal cortex (mPFc) is hypothesized to be involved in spatial learning, behavioral flexibility or inhibition, and attention. Animal lesion studies that characterize specific functions of mPFc have yielded conflicting results. One factor varied across these experiments is lesion sites within mPFc (dorsal, ventral, or both). The present study examined functional differences between the dorsal and ventral mPFc in simple spatial discrimination, using reversible lesions. We hypothesized that the ventral, but not the dorsal mPFc, is critical for successful performance. Wistar rats were trained on a spatial discrimination task, which required a correct barpress matching the cue location. Upon reaching criterion (³ 85% correct, 3 sessions), rats were implanted with bilateral cannulae aimed at mPFc (dorsal or ventral). Postsurgery training resumed after a 5-7 day recovery period. Once performance reached a pre-surgery criterion, either lidocaine (2%) or saline was infused (0.5 ml/site), 5 min prior to testing on the task. Lidocaine and vehicle infusions were counterbalanced within subjects, allowing 2-3 days between infusions. We found that lidocaine infusions into the ventral mPFc, but not the dorsal mPFc, de-creased correct responses. Vehicle infusions in neither region affected performance. This was consistent with our preliminary observation that permanent, excitotoxic lesions in the ventral mPFc disrupt acquisition of spatial discrimination. The present findings support our hypothesis, and suggest that the integrity of the ventral, but not the dorsal mPFc, is required in spatial discrimination.

Possibly the most exclusive beer in the world, Deus is a Bière Brut – a Champagne-style beer. First brewed as a golden beer in Flanders, it is then transported to the Champagne region of France, where it is matured for about nine months, and finished following the méthode champenoise (the method used for making Champagne). Deus is simply divine. Served chilled (at 2° to 4°) in a champagne flute (ideally), Deus delivers aromas of fresh apples, mint, thyme, citrus, ginger, malt, allspice and pears. The long maturation results in a bright golden beer, with incredibly fine beads of gas supporting a clean white head. On taste, Deus is delicate and complex, with the sweetness of grape, the fruitiness of green apple, and the suggestion of Belgian yeast in the background.

Ray Lui's performance as mobster Ng Shek-ko majestically leads this epic, and highly influential, crime drama that in true crime film style follows the rise and fall of a gangster from humble beginnings.

Q: Why does a linear system with the same # of equations as unknowns have an unique solution If a linear system with the same # of equations as unknowns, then it is a $n \times n$ matrix with full rank. But why does it have an unique solution? What's the logic behind it? Also: A linear system with coefficient matrix $A$ has an infinite number of solutions iff $A$ can be row-reduced to an echelon matrix that includes some columns containing no pivots. I thought this statement is true, since if all columns contain a pivot, then the linear system in matrix form has full rank. So it cannot have an infinite number of solutions. However, the correct answer is false. What would be a counterexample to the statement? A: As Andre says this is not true. On the other hand if your question is why is the reason for which a system (of $n$ equation and $n$ unknowns) with complete rank has always a unique solution. In my opinion the better way to see it is by linear maps. Let $n$ be fixed and select a collection of $a_{i,j}\in \mathbb{F}$ for $(i,j) \in \{\ 1, \ldots,n\} \times \{\ 1, \ldots,n\}$. Define the linear map $f$ $$(x_1 \ldots,x_n)\longmapsto \bigg(\sum_{1\le j\le n} a_{1,j}x_j \ldots\sum_{1\le j\le n} a_{n,j}x_j \bigg)$$ When we say that the rank is complete, we say that for all $(c_1 \ldots,c_n)$ always exists a $(x_1 \ldots,x_n)$ such that $f(x_1 \ldots,x_n)=(c_1 \ldots,c_n)$, i.e., $$\bigg(\sum_{1\le j\le n} a_{1,j}x_j \ldots\sum_{1\le j\le n} a_{n,j}x_j \bigg)=(c_1 \ldots,c_n)$$ With really means that $\sum_{1\le j\le n} a_{i,j}x_j =c_j$ for our system. Since the $\text{rank }f=n$. Then by the dimention formula we can conclude that its kernel is trivial, i.e., $\ker f = \{0\}$. Then $f$ is an injective map. So we know that always exists a solution because is surjective (the rank has the same dimension as the target space) and also this solution is unique since is one-to-one. Using our above notation. What happens when the rank is less than $n$. Then there exists some values in the target space which are "outside" of the image and in these cases there is no solution. Since the rank is less than $n$ so the linear map cannot be surjective and exists vectors in $\mathbb{F}^n \backslash f(\mathbb{F}^n)$. For the question: when does it have an infinite number of solution? Assuming again that the rank is less than $n$. Let $(c_1, \ldots ,c_n) \in f(\mathbb{F^n})$ (a vector in the image), because is in the image there is a vector in the domain that under $f$ is mapped in $(c_1, \ldots ,c_n)$, let call it $x=(x_1, \ldots, x_n)$. But also we know that the kernel is not trivial, again using the dimension formula we conclude $\dim(\ker f)= n-\text{rank} f>0$. Then there is some vector $(z_1, \ldots, z_n) \not= 0$ such that $f(z_1, \ldots, z_n)= (0, \ldots, 0)$. Now consider $(x_1,\ldots, x_n)+k(z_1, \ldots, z_n)$, where $k\in \mathbb{F}$ and see what happens under $f$. \begin{align}f((x_1,\ldots, x_n)+k(z_1, \ldots, z_n))=f(x_1,\ldots, x_n)+kf(z_1, \ldots, z_n)\\ =f(x_1,\ldots, x_n)+0= (c_1 \ldots, c_n) \end{align} This occurs because $f$ is linear and the vector $(z_1, \ldots, z_n)$ is in the kernel (is zero under $f$). Thus $(x_1,\ldots, x_n)+k(z_1, \ldots, z_n)$ is also a solution. And indeed the set $$x+\ker f: = \{x+k: x=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)+k, \text{ and } k\in \ker f\}$$ by the same argument as above contain all the solutions. In that case there is a infinite number of solutions.

Albion to cement lofty ambitions at Loftus Road? Full Throstle Uncategorized 27th Sep 2019 27th Sep 2019 3 Minutes London calls for the Baggies for the second time in as many away games. Albion will be looking to extend their record as the only unbeaten side in the division against a QPR side who are bang in-form. The R's are level on points with Albion, behind only on goal difference. Every season there are teams who nobody tips that end up in the top 6 and there are early signs that QPR could be one of those teams. Both fixtures against QPR last year are among the more memorable of Darren Moore's short tenure at the Hawthorns. The 7-1 last August which announced Albion as free-scoring promotion contenders was Moore's first home win, while the the 3-2 at Loftus Road was to be his last victory as Albion head coach. While the former may live longer in the memory, the latter was a much better game of football, which saw Jake Livermore strike decisively at the death. This season, however, QPR are a different animal. The appointment of former Brentford and Rangers boss Mark Warburton has seen a change in fortune for last season's 19th placed team. Despite tasting defeat twice, the West London outfit have amassed as many points as their unbeaten opponents, thanks in no small part to a four game winning run that they are still on. A team that keep winning against a team that won't lose, something has to give and one record will end on Saturday lunchtime. While Albion have not exactly been an immovable object at times this season, QPR have certainly been an irresistible force, courtesy of a lethal strike partnership and the promising Eberechi Eze in midfield. 21 year old Eze has impressed with silky dribbling in the final third and 3 goals in his first 8 this season, just one shy of his total during the last campaign. If you somehow didn't see it, go and find his goal against Stoke from the opening day and you will see the danger he poses. No player has scored more goals this season than QPR strikers Nakhi Wells and Jordan Hugill (5 each) and only Albion themselves have scored more times than their hosts. The attacking trio have had a monopoly on goals for the R's this season, with Eze, Hugill and Wells accounting for 93% of their goals. QPR have, of course, been impressive thus far but the 5 wins they have amassed have all come against teams who are currently in the bottom half, including a faltering Stoke side and Wigan, who frankly everyone beats at home. The onus is therefore on Albion to show they are a cut above those pushing for the playoff places with victory at Loftus Road, which would take them to the top of the tree, at least for a while. The (recent) historians among the Albion fan base will remember lifting the title at Loftus Road in 2007/08 after a 2-0 win to hold off Stoke in second place. A win on Saturday wouldn't be quite that significant but taking top spot for a while would be quite a statement heading into what would be a mouth-watering clash at Elland Road in midweek. Two of Albion's goalscorers last time out in Phillips and Furlong are former QPR players, but the former QPR player who is yet to score this season will attract the most attention. Charlie Austin was lethal for QPR, where he became known to many as a second-tier hitman. Although he couldn't find the net, Austin turned in a solid performance against Huddersfield, showing signs he might finally be getting up to speed after -by his own admission- being off the pace during the early stages of his Albion career. Ahead of a return to his old stomping-ground, Austin gave a refreshingly honest interview to Albion's media team, in which he said he is feeding off healthy competition for places and the time has now come to show the Albion fans who the 'real' Charlie Austin is. Albion's number 15 spoke of very highly of his new teammates insisting that although they were pleased with the start, they have not yet shown the form they are capable of. With neither side managing to keep a clean sheet this season and Albion (3.13) and QPR (3.25) games featuring considerably more goals per game than the league average (2.46), goals are almost guaranteed. Albion will be desperate for that elusive first clean sheet, but you wouldn't bet on it coming this weekend. Once again, as with every Albion game this season, BTTS looks to be a certainty. With both teams vying for the chance to end the game in top spot you can expect a hard-fought encounter, but I think Albion will have too much for the R's defence and I'll predict 3-1, with Charlie Austin to score against his former employers.

Naming Names by Paul Lukas Aside from Derek Bell's super-baggy hip-hop-style jersey (which the league office told him to stop wearing after three games), things have been pretty quiet on the Mets' uniform front this season—a welcome change after the flurry of cap and jersey alterations of recent years. But Uni Watch is intrigued by the one revision the team has made for 2000: Player surnames, which were removed from the Amazins' home jerseys last year, have reappeared. This is the latest in a series of moves that began in 1998, when the Mets went for an old-school look by using nameless jerseys during their interleague series against the Yankees. Player names were restored for the balance of the '98 season, but management liked the three-game experiment so much that they decided to go with nameless home unis the following year. "Unfortunately, lots of fans said they didn't like it, and some players agreed," says Mets marketing director Kit Geis. "So we put the names back this year." Although historical data is sketchy, the first pro sports team to put player names on jerseys appears to have been the NHL's New York Americans, who briefly experimented with the style in the early '30s. But it was television coverage, with its close-up views, that led to the modern surnamed design, beginning with the Chicago White Sox in 1960. Other baseball teams hesitated to follow, in part due to fears of lower scorecard sales, but many teams in the American Football League used player names when the league debuted later that year, and the entire AFL had adopted the style by the following season (the NFL didn't catch on until 1970). By now, of course, surnamed jerseys are ubiquitous—the NBA, NFL, and NHL all require them, and the Yankees, Red Sox, and Giants are baseball's only nameless holdouts. As for the Mets, their recent nameless season had an interesting inspiration. "We were trying to emphasize a feeling of team, instead of individuals," says Geis—a charmingly naive thought in today's personality-obsessed sports scene, where most players might as well just have "ME" embroidered on their uniforms.

A subscriber that is visually impaired once shared to me how he unfortunately can't enjoy those features as much since his printed book reading days are past him. That gave me the idea to look into what is available in audio formats. While I haven't done many audiobooks myself, my wife has long been a fan of them for her work commutes. And really, when you think about it, aren't audiobooks just very long podcasts? With that, let's take a look at my top 5 picks for audiobooks about California wine history available on Audible. Gallo Be Thy Name: The Inside Story of How One Family Rose to Dominate the U.S. Wine Market by Jerome Tuccille with Grainger Hines narrating. First published in 2009, Tuccille's work documents the family history of Ernest & Julio Gallo and how they turned a small post-prohibition winery into a global empire. I'm honestly shocked that the Gallos' story hasn't been turned into a Netflix miniseries. There is tons of drama here–not the least of which is the possible murder-suicide committed by Ernest & Julio's father, Joe Gallo, with their mother Susie. But beyond the drama and family intrigue is a thoroughly engrossing case study in wine business–especially in the American market. While it is very easy to poo poo Gallo wines today, there is no denying their continued success. Savvy business acumen that responded to changing dynamics in consumers' tastes drove that success. Ernest & Julio had almost an intuitive sense about what Americans wanted to drink and they delivered it. That savvy is still on display by their descendants who continue to grow the Gallo empire with new acquisitions and expansions. A Man and His Mountain: The Everyman Who Created Kendall-Jackson and Became America's Greatest Wine Entrepreneur by Edward Humes with Mel Foster narrating. I have not read this one yet but I can see this being similar to Tuccille's work, absent the murder intrigue and family drama. For wine students wanting to understand the American market, you need to understand the figures who have had their finger prints all over it. Like Ernest & Julio, Jess Jackson built an empire. But his start was world's apart from the Gallos. A lawyer by training, Jackson purchased a pear and walnut farm in Lake County in 1974 to give him a change of pace as a gentleman farmer. He planted some vines which he sold to wineries like Fetzer. When Fetzer unexpectedly cancelled a large order on him one vintage, Jackson decided to make wine from the grapes himself. This was the birth of the Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Chardonnay that has gone on to be a 3 million+ case behemoth. The background of the author, Edward Humes, also jumped out to me. Following a long career as an investigative journalist, he's written several highly acclaimed books covering a broad spectrum of topics such as Garbology: Our Dirty Love Affair with Trash, Force of Nature: The Unlikely Story of Wal-Mart's Green Revolution and Mississippi Mud: Southern Justice and the Dixie Mafia. This is not the typical resume of a wine book writer which, for me, adds a lot of intrigue to this book. Judgment of Paris: California vs. France and the Historic 1976 Paris Tasting That Revolutionized Wine by George M. Taber with Sean Runnette narrating. Some of the wineries that participated at the famous 1976 Judgement of Paris wine tasting event. Taber's 2005 book has long been a favorite of mine. While I haven't dived into them yet, his other wine books are high on my "to read" list. To Cork or Not To Cork: Tradition, Romance, Science, and the Battle for the Wine Bottle A Toast to Bargain Wines: How Innovators, Iconoclasts, and Winemaking Revolutionaries Are Changing the Way the World Drinks In Search of Bacchus: Wanderings in the Wonderful World of Wine Tourism It's hard to know where the American wine industry would be today if the 1976 Paris tasting didn't happen, or if Taber wasn't there for Time magazine to report back. Robert Mondavi was still actively promoting American wines but did the 1976 tasting help spark his joint venture with Baron Philippe Rothschild that became Opus One? The Baron's 1970 Château Mouton-Rothschild was one of the French wines that unexpectedly lost in the blind tasting to an upstart from California (in this case, Warren Winiarski's Stag's Leap Wine Cellars). Coming only three years after Rothschild's dogged petitioning finally got his Second Growth estate elevated up to First Growth, it's fascinating to wonder how those dominoes fell to lead him to invest so heavily into California. Now Taber's book doesn't really go off into that kind of speculation and tangent. But he does provide some great background details about the California wineries that took part (Stag's Leap, Ridge, Heitz, Clos du Val, Mayacamas, Freemark Abbey, Ch. Montelena, Chalone, Spring Mountain Vineyards, Veedercrest and David Bruce) as well as the general state of the California wine industry at the time. Most importantly he provides context to an event that undoubtedly was a pivotal moment in not only Californian, but also American, wine history. The House of Mondavi: The Rise and Fall of an American Wine Dynasty by Julia Flynn Siler with Alan Sklar narrating. Robert Mondavi with author Pat Montandon in 1981 at the Premier Napa Valley Auction. Speaking of Robert Mondavi, his story and family drama would also make a very interest Netflix series. It's still jaw dropping to think about how fast the forced sale and corporate takeover of the Mondavi Winery by Constellation Brands happened back in 2004. Even though the empire's collapse was rapid, there were smoldering cinders burning long before the ruble. While they never came to blows like Robert and his brother Peter famously once did, the infighting among Robert's children–Tim, Michael and Marcia–played just as much of a role in shaping the Mondavi family narrative. Siler's work touches on all that as well as the family's early history dating back to Cesare Mondavi's arrival in the US from his native Italy. But the major focus of the book is the charismatic force of Robert Mondavi. Like the Gallos, Jess Jackson and Martin Ray, it's hard to see the American wine industry being what it is today without his legacy. Napa: The Story of an American Eden by James Conaway with John Morgan narrating. This book is part of a series that Conway has written about the history and potential future of Napa Valley. The other two books are The Far Side Of Eden (2003) and Napa at Last Light: America's Eden in an Age of Calamity (2018) with The Far Side of Eden not yet available in audio format. A black-crowned night heron fishing in the Napa watershed. Concern for the habitat of this bird and other animals fueled support for Napa Prop C. which aimed to curb vineyard development in the hills of the valley that feed into the watershed. I just started reading the hard copy version of this book. I was inspired to pick it up after listening to Levi Dalton's interview with James Conway on episode 446 of his I'll Drink To That! podcast. Prior to his great interview with Dalton, Conway was already on my radar after reading his very biting essay for The Atlantic from March of this year titled "Rich People Are Ruining Wine". A lot of this was happening during the political battle surrounding Napa's Prop C ballot measure that aimed to limit vineyard development on hillsides that would have impacted the watershed of the Napa river. Following a lot of heated debate from both sides, the measure ultimately lost in this June's election–49.1% to 50.9%. Listening to Conway's interview with Dalton and reading the first few chapters of this book, it seems that the war over Prop C was just another chapter in the endless story of the battle for the soul of Napa.

The notice inviting participation must be in the prescribed form including the notes. In England, the form is prescribed by the English RTM Prescribed Form Regulations 2010 and in Wales by the Welsh RTM Prescribed Form Regulations 2011. A notice of invitation to participate is not invalidated by any inaccuracy in any of the particulars required by section 78 (section 78(5), CLRA 2002). On the face of it, this appears to be a generous saving provision but that is not necessarily the case. Under section 78(7), it would appear to indicate that some attempt must be made to provide each of the required particulars otherwise the particular will not be inaccurate but omitted entirely. Therefore rendering the notice invalid.

Taylor Swift Dishes On Directing Her First Feature Film Home / Stars / Taylor Swift Dishes On Directing Her First Feature Film by Kristin Myers Posted on September 10, 2022 at 6:30 am Singer Taylor Swift is a singer, songwriter, and a master of human emotions, but is she ready to direct her first feature film? The "Gorgeous" singer was behind the cameras for her music videos "The Man," "Cardigan," and "Willow" before she wrote, directed, and starred in "All Too Well: The Short Film," which also starred "Teen Wolf" actor Dylan O'Brien and "Stranger Things" alum Sadie Sink. On Friday, September 9, the "Delicate" singer was in attendance at the Toronto International Film Festival, where her short film was screened in 35mm for the first time. While at the event, Taylor talked about the possibility of directing her first feature film. Taylor Swift Dishes On The Possibility Of Directing A Feature Film After 'All Too Well: The Short Film' Success As The Hollywood Reporter shared late Friday night, it's possible that the "I Bet You Think About Me" singer is looking to direct a feature film. In addition to screening her "All Too Well" short film, the 32-year-old singer also appeared in an "In Conversation With…" event to discuss her potential future career plans. "If it were the right thing, it would be such a privilege and honor," Taylor said at the event, revealing that she would rather focus on films about "human emotion" than any big-budget action sequences. "I will always want to tell human stories about human emotion," she said, before praising fellow female directors like Nora Ephron, Chloe Zhao, and Greta Gerwig, as influences for her own directing career. "It's really beautiful that we're in a place where the idea of a female filmmaker doesn't make you roll your eyes or think as skeptically as it once was," she continued, discussing her "evolution" into a film director by first writing songs, and then trying to coordinate words and music to storyboards and a shot list. 'The More Responsibility I Took On, The Happier I Was' During the conversation, the "Cruel Summer" singer openly admitted that she didn't go to film school, revealing that much of her hands-on experience actually came from being on the set of her own music videos. "I didn't go to film school. I've been on the set of around 60 music videos and I've learned a lot from that process," she said at the event. "But when I did it on my own, I really began to learn everything, because you have to." Taylor explained that "establishing visuals" was "always a part of the process" and she liked to involve herself in the creation of her music videos very early into her career, saying, "The more responsibility I took on, the happier I was." She also discussed a little bit more about her influences, specifically her album 1989, which she said was inspired by repeatedly watching John Hughes' iconic film "Sixteen Candles." She also said that she was "impressed" by Guillermo del Toro's "The Shape Of Water," which she watched during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. "In my mind, there was a period in the 1970s where you started to see romantic films where the characters are so beautifully woven together, and then they unravel," Taylor said, pointing to "Kramer vs. Kramer" as another one of her inspirations. Taylor Swift Is 'Grateful' To Share 'All Too Well' At The Toronto Film Festival As part of the event, the "You Belong With Me" singer screened her "All Too Well: The Short Film" for the first time on 35mm. Taylor had nothing but praise for Dylan O'Brien and Sadie Sink and specifically referenced a fight sequence that takes place at a pivotal point in the film. "You can tell a lot about people based on how they fight," she said of their fight. "She feels out of place and he feels unequipped to handle that." Although Taylor has seen her own film countless times before, she felt that she learned something new from watching it on Friday, September 9, at the Toronto Film Festival. "I feel like watching it this time, there was a depth to the color and the contrast that I haven't seen when I watched it before," she said, adding, "I'm grateful to have shared it with you guys."

Bull a leader of electronic warfare systems presents the Shadow Mercedes jamming car at Milipol. Bull, a major player in European security and defense for both civil and military purposes, presents its expertise in electronic warfare and protection with its new Mercedes car equipped with electronic warfare system Shadow. Bull Mercedes Shadow jamming car at Milipol 2013, Paris, France. In the trunk and the rear seats of the car is installed the Shadow system, a powerful jammer able to jam any radio signal 100 meters around the vehicle. The Shadow is designed to saturate an area with electromagnetic energy in order to neutralize an IED that is activated by remote control on command. Shadow IED Jammers work by preventing radio signals from reaching the radio trigger used to detonate that IED. An improvised explosive device (IED) is a homemade bomb constructed and deployed in ways other than in conventional military action. IEDs may be used in terrorist actions or in unconventional warfare by guerrillas or commando forces in a theater of operations. Most of the IED could be detonated by radio or mobile phone control. But the jamming is not the only functionality available. Shadow can also jams radio communications located at more than one kilometer. Finally, the system is able also to intercept all communications located on specific frequency bands and to analyze, thanks to the technology of Amesys, a subsidiary of Bull dedicated to the surveillance of electronic communications.

Trying to figure out the best way to use my Spooky2 machines. Take a look at the cancer protocols in the Presets tab under \Cancer. The main one to look at is the \Cancer\DB\. There are also some new custom Cancer presets by John White (they have JW in name) for plasma. The DB cancer protocol has plenty of support presets for pain and detox too. My plasma bulb is way too much for my laptop. Initially I just had to keep the laptop far away from bulb, but now laptop can't even be in same room. Does anyone have recommendations as which laptops can handle the plasma bulb the best? If I want to treat bartonella and mycoplasa. Do I need to rife every single day? How long should a session be?

On Feb 19th the FTSE was 7,457.0. On March the 12th (a day in which the market fell 10.9%) the index closed at 5,237.50 representing a fall of just under 30%. Yesterday's drop in the shares prices was the worse day since the Black Monday crash of 1987. On Feb 19th the S&P 500 was 3,386.2. On March 12th (a day in which it fell 9.51%) the index closed at 2,480.64 representing a fall of approximately 27%. Travel and leisure stocks falling by much more than the above. Just yesterday cruise operator Carnival lost a fifth of its value, while United Airlines felt 17 per cent, and British Airways 16%. Even in the wider UK economy, companies including WHSmith, Go-Ahead and Travelex warned investors about the impact, while Cineworld, the second biggest cinema chain, warned that in worst-case scenario it would be unable to pay its debts. Such falls despite the US federal Reserve cutting the key Fed Funds rate by 0.5% to 1.00-1.25% and the UK MPC cutting the Base Rate by 0.5% to 0.25% – representing the lowest UK rate ever. European and Asian equities following suit. Yesterday falls of almost an unprecedented nature were principally due to Donald Trump's ban on travel from Europe to the US in a bid to stem the corona virus outbreak perhaps the 'most expensive speech in history'. Investors are voting with their feet. The markets are bracing themselves for a global recession. The lockdown of large urban centres, and a severe credit crunch. Oil prices, which crashed at the start of this week, initially on the failure of OPEC and Russia to agree new production cuts to support the oil price, fell further amid the expectation that the US travel ban would cause more pain for the travel industry. Brent Crude is now trading at just over $30 per barrel having been above $60 bd at the start of the year. Who are the asset class winners? The Japanese Yen is often viewed as a haven during time of stress and has surged in value in recent days. Now trading at Yen 104 to the dollar. Gold: Another safe haven asset. Bonds. The yield on 10-year US Government Bonds at 0.70 Yield-To-Maturity is at an all-time-low yield as investors typically pour money into government bonds at times of stress. The longest bull stock market is now over with the coronavirus outbreak proving severe enough to end almost 11 years of unprecedented post-financial crisis gains. $12.5 Trillion has now been wiped off the value of global equities in less than a month. In all when the financial system almost collapsed in 2008, the global stock market lost about $18 Trillion. How might the financial markets recover? Clearly a lot depends on Central Banks action and news developments but there have been 27 bear markets since the 1800s in which the average decline has been 38%. It has taken on average 60 months to return to the previous peak or 90 months in real, inflation-adjusted terms. The average "event driven" bear market – a label that seems to fit the current situation – was a more modest 29% drop and has taken only 15 months on average to reclaim its previous peak. Central Banks still have some ammunition left and fiscal stimulus looks certain to come may mean the markets snap back, and start a new bull run later in the year. However, the economic cycle was already very long and, given how strong markets have been over the last decade, it is very plausible that the slump deepens. This bear market is unlikely to find its nadir, until the aftershocks of the recent financial earthquake are over and the extent of the economic impact of the coronavirus becomes clearer.

Jesus invites us to become more aware of the workings of God in all of our life and the events of our life. We should never narrow our vision simply to that which is seen as holy and of God by our Church, by our society or by our friends. God transcends all. God is present in all. And in this openness, we are still invited to believe that Christ is present in His Church and in the teachings of His Church. In the first reading today, the Prophet Isaiah speaks of the role of Cyrus as part of God's plan. Most of the people in the time of Cyrus and Isaiah would not have been thinking that way. For the Chosen People, they were God's plan and the other peoples were only in the way. For other cultures, there was a completely different understanding of God or of gods. Yet Isaiah is able to see the hand of God in Cyrus and proclaim that Cyrus is an instrument of God. The challenge for us today is to see everything that happens as part of God's design. God is God! All things happen according to His design and plan. Even when we rebel directly against Him, He is able creatively to include our rebellion in His plan and leave us with the possibility of a new good. Even the best of theologians of all traditions have not been able to explain completely how our human free will and God's will intersect and act on each other. Faith in God and in Jesus Christ will allow us to see the action of the Holy Spirit in all that happens to us, whether it be, from our point of view, good or bad. The second reading today, from the First Letter to the Thessalonians tells us that our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. This is a way of saying that it is not just in talking about God that we experience Him. Rather we want to become aware of God's power. We can do that by listening to His word and seeing that word in action in history and in others in our present age. Becoming convinced of God's presence and His action in the world is at the heart of our faith, no matter how weak it may be. The Gospel of Matthew today speaks to us about the relationship of Jesus to secular laws. Clearly those questioning Jesus wanted Him to be against paying the temple tax because it was offensive to the Jewish people. Jesus makes a clear distinction about what pertains to religious belief and what is simply belonging to secular culture. This is always the challenge in every age. It is our challenge also. The challenge of the readings today is to keep our eyes open to the presence of God, to be aware that we can make secular things into religious idols and that we are called to be free and loving, while we serve God in peace.

Less a polemic than a moving, melancholy, environment-focused memoir. RUNNING OUT IN SEARCH OF WATER ON THE HIGH PLAINS by Lucas Bessire ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 18, 2021 The author returns to his ancestral home in western Kansas to discover that the Dust Bowl of the 1930s is returning. Bessire, a professor of anthropology at the University of Oklahoma, reminds readers that the High Plains supported only marginal dry farming until after World War II, when the newly discovered Ogallala Aquifer, which extends from South Dakota to Texas, produced an irrigation bonanza that now supports one-sixth of the world's grain production. Like fish, forests, and buffalo, it seemed inexhaustible—until it wasn't. Massive withdrawal is shrinking the Ogallala, and many wells are running dry. Because it might hamper economic growth, conservation is often dismissed as unfeasible. Farmers and ranchers receive strict water quotas, but the amount guarantees withdrawals vastly exceed what is needed to replenish. Polls show that the majority of farmers want to save the aquifer and hope the government will take necessary action. One barrier is the "midlevel bureaucracy." Only landowners vote on water policy, so wealthy, anti-conservation "water miners" dominate local boards. As a result, "regional water governance is a form of pay-to-play democracy reserved for the already privileged." Traveling the country with his father, Bessire relearned the land's unedifying distant history (Native genocide) and recent history: takeover by large agribusinesses with towns dominated by slaughterhouses, hog barns, feedlots, and dairies employing low-paid migrant labor. The author vividly describes dry riverbeds, abandoned fields, and, most poignantly, working farmers and ranchers, few of whom are prospering. Most work under contract to industrial agribusinesses. Bessire chronicles his interviews with a few villains and a few idealists but mostly with hardworking, good-humored, often cynical men (and a few women) doing their best in an environment often beyond their control. The author eschews the traditional how-to-fix-it conclusion. Readers may perk up when he describes impressive technical advances in saving water only to learn that they're mostly devoted to extending the life of depleted wells. Publisher: Princeton Univ. Review Posted Online: Feb. 3, 2021 Kirkus Reviews Issue: March 1, 2021 Categories: CURRENT EVENTS & SOCIAL ISSUES | PUBLIC POLICY | NATURE | SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY | GENERAL BIOGRAPHY & MEMOIR | ISSUES & CONTROVERSIES National Book Award Nonfiction Longlist Revealed National Book Award Finalists Are Revealed A solid work of investigation that, while treading well-covered ground, offers plenty of surprises. by Bob Woodward & Robert Costa ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 21, 2021 An account of the last gasps of the Trump administration, completing a trilogy begun with Fear (2018) and Rage (2020). One of Woodward and fellow Washington Post reporter Costa's most memorable revelations comes right away: Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, calling his counterpart in Beijing to assure him that even after Jan. 6 and what Milley saw as an unmistakable attempt at a coup d'état, he would keep Trump from picking a war with China. This depiction has earned much attention on the talking-heads news channels, but more significant is its follow-up: Milley did so because he was concerned that Trump "might still be looking for what Milley called a 'Reichstag moment.' " Milley emerges as a stalwart protector of the Constitution who constantly courted Trump's ire and yet somehow survived without being fired. No less concerned about Trump's erratic behavior was Paul Ryan, the former Speaker of the House, who studied the psychiatric literature for a big takeaway: "Do not humiliate Trump in public. Humiliating a narcissist risked real danger, a frantic lashing out if he felt threatened or criticized." Losing the 2020 election was one such humiliation, and Woodward and Costa closely track the trajectory of Trump's reaction, from depression to howling rage to the stubborn belief that the election was rigged. There are a few other modest revelations in the book, including the fact that Trump loyalist William Barr warned him that the electorate didn't like him. "They just think you're a fucking asshole," Barr told his boss. That was true enough, and the civil war that the authors recount among various offices in the White House and government reveals that Trump's people were only ever tentatively his. All the same, the authors note, having drawn on scores of "deep background" interviews, Trump still has his base, still intends vengeance by way of a comeback, and still constitutes the peril of their title.

Lindsey Graham Told Trump He 'F'd Up' An oft-ignored but fully convincing argument that "we cannot prevent the next pandemic without creating a healthy world." THE CONTAGION NEXT TIME by Sandro Galea ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 1, 2021 The Covid-19 pandemic is not a one-off catastrophe. An epidemiologist presents a cogent argument for a fundamental refocusing of resources on "the foundational forces that shape health." In this passionate and instructive book, Galea, dean of the Boston University School of Public Health, writes that Covid emerged because we have long neglected basic preventative measures. "We invest vast amounts of money in healthcare," he writes, "but comparatively little in health." Readers looking to learn how governments (mainly the U.S.) mishandled the pandemic have a flood of books to choose from, but Galea has bigger issues to raise. Better medical care will not stop the next epidemic, he warns. We must structure a world "that is resilient to contagions." He begins by describing the current state of world health, where progress has been spectacular. Global life expectancy has more than doubled since 1900. Malnutrition, poverty, and child mortality have dropped. However, as the author stresses repeatedly, medical progress contributed far less to the current situation than better food, clean water, hygiene, education, and prosperity. That's the good news. More problematic is that money is a powerful determinant of health; those who have it live longer. Galea begins the bad news by pointing out the misleading statistic that Covid-19 kills less than 1% of those infected; that applies to young people in good health. For those over 60, it kills 6%, for diabetics, over 7%, and those with heart disease, over 10%. It also kills more Blacks than Whites, more poor than middle-class people, and more people without health insurance. The author is clearly not just interested in Covid. He attacks racism, sexism, and poverty in equal measure, making a plea for compassion toward stigmatized conditions such as obesity and addiction. He consistently urges the U.S. government, which has spared no expense and effort to defeat the pandemic, to do the same for social injustice. Publisher: Oxford Univ.

This bill changes the current discretionary authority to a requirement that the President impose sanctions under the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 with respect to the provision of specialized financial messaging services to the Central Bank of Iran and other sanctioned Iranian financial institutions. This requirement may not be waived. Sanctions are expanded to include, in the case of an alien who is a senior executive or member of the board of directors of a person that provides such messaging services, visa denial and exclusion from the United States, and revocation of any visa or other documentation.

mindshift Home Mindshift Podcast Games And Learning The Key To Raising A Happy Child Cory Turner (Chris Kindred for NPR) For much of the past half-century, children, adolescents and young adults in the U.S. have been saying they feel as though their lives are increasingly out of their control. At the same time, rates of anxiety and depression have risen steadily. What's the fix? Feeling in control of your own destiny. Let's call it "agency." "Agency may be the one most important factor in human happiness and well-being." So write William Stixrud and Ned Johnson in their new book, The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives. Feeling out of control can cause debilitating stress and destroy self-motivation. Building agency begins with parents, because it has to be cultivated and nurtured in childhood, write Stixrud and Johnson. But many parents find that difficult, since giving kids more control requires parents to give up some of their own. Instead of trusting kids with choices — small at first, but bigger as adolescence progresses — many parents insist on micromanaging everything from homework to friendships. For these parents, Stixrud and Johnson have a simple message: Stop. Instead of thinking of yourself as your child's boss or manager, try consultant. To discuss the book's big ideas, I spoke with Bill Stixrud, a neuropsychologist who has spent the past 30 years helping parents and kids navigate life's challenges. Our interview has been edited for length and clarity. Let's start with a basic definition from the book's title. What does it mean for a child to be self-driven? When I used to do psychotherapy, I was struck by how many young adults I saw who said, "I feel like I've spent my whole life trying to live up to other people's expectations. I want to try to figure out what's really important to me." I think that the self-driven child is driven by internal motivation as opposed to other people's expectations, rewards, insecurity or fear. To be self-driven, kids need to have a sense of control over their lives and are energetic about directing their lives in the direction they want to go. Consultants, not managers? I can imagine some parents feeling really uncomfortable giving up that much control over their children's lives. When I used to do therapy — I'm going going back 30 years now — I'd see family after family that said, "I hate the time after dinner at our house because it's World War III." And I was struck by how many of these meaningless fights would happen over homework — completely unproductive fights, hugely stressful, pitting the kid against his parents. I just came up with this phrase: "I love you too much to fight with you about your homework." What I said to parents is that, if you decide you're not going to fight about this anymore, you say instead, "How can I help?" You think about yourself as a consultant and acknowledge respectfully that it's the kid's homework. You can't make your child do it. What you can do is offer to help. You can set up what I call consulting hours between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m., and just say, "I'm not going to fight with you. I just love you too much. I don't want all this friction. This is your work, and I respect that you can figure this out and I'll help you." A family just told me that the temperature went down in their house by 20 degrees. Letting go can be especially hard for anxious parents, who worry a lot about their kids getting good grades, getting into a good college, landing a good job, etc. How do you help them let go? All of us have what I call a shared delusion: that the path to becoming successful is extremely narrow and, if you fall off it, you're sunk. And it just doesn't take very long to look around and realize how untrue that is. Research suggests that it doesn't make that much difference where you go to college in terms of how successful you are financially or professionally or how satisfied you are or how happy you are. The idea that, somehow, getting into the most elite college at any cost is the right focus of a kid's development is completely wrong. It's wrong-headed. And many parents with enough support can come to see that and make peace with it. But it's a big project because so much of the world that we live in gives the opposite message. Also, we need to make peace with reality. And the reality is, you can't make a kid do his work. And that means it can't be the parent's responsibility to ensure that the kid always does his homework and does it well. In some ways, it's also disrespectful to the kid. You know, I start with the assumption that kids have a brain in their head and they want their lives to work. They want to do well. That's why we want to change the energy, so the energy is coming from the kid seeking help from us rather than us trying to boss the kid, sending the message, "You can't do this on your own." One of my favorite moments in the book is when you reveal how you, as a parent, approached homework and report cards with your kids. What was the message you were trying to convey to them? When my kids were little, I had just been reading some research that suggested there's a very low correlation between grades and success in life. And so, when my kids were in elementary school, I said, "I'm happy to look at your report card, but I don't care that much. I care much more that you work hard to develop yourself, and part of that is developing yourself as a student. But also it means developing yourself as a person. If you want to be an athlete or musician or whatever is important to you, I care much more about that because that's the stuff — that self-development — that helps you be successful. It's not the grades." When my daughter was in high school, she came to a lecture I gave on the adolescent brain, in which I mentioned this low correlation between grades and success and how research on valedictorians suggests that they don't do better than other college graduates once they're in their mid-20s. Driving home, she said, "You know, I liked the lecture, but I don't really believe that you believe that stuff about the grades." I told her, "I absolutely believe it." In fact, I believed it enough that I offered her a hundred bucks to get a C on her next report card. I assume she was an A student at the time? Yeah, she's now got a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago. She's a brilliant girl and a really good student. But I offered her a hundred dollars for a C, so she could understand and have the experience that, you know, one bad thing or one thing that seems like a disaster is just not that big a deal. She didn't take you up on it? She never did. But I think it helped her to know that there's many ways people become successful. And I think that message was really helpful to my son, who did not learn easily and needed help to get through school. He was a later bloomer but ultimately got a Ph.D. in psychology and is an incredible person. I walked this walk with him — in the sense that I never oversaw his homework. If I happened to notice that he hadn't done a very good job on something, I'd offer some suggestions, and often he'd take me up on it. Other times, he wouldn't. And I'd say, "This is your education. I'll help wherever I can." On the subject of homework, you say: Inspire but don't require. I wrote a couple papers on homework in 1986, and I reviewed what we know about the effects of homework on learning. And I was dumbfounded to learn at that time that there's virtually no correlation between the amount of time spent on homework and what you learn in elementary school. And that's partly why I concluded that it doesn't make sense to fight with kids and have all this stress about something that doesn't seem to contribute to learning. Thirty-some years later, it's still the case that there's no compelling evidence that homework contributes to learning in elementary school and even in middle school — or in high school beyond two, 2 1/2 hours. It just doesn't do much. I think the wisest thing is to try to inspire kids to learn at home. I don't want kids going home and being on social media or video games all night. I want them to be working on developing themselves, and I want teachers to inspire kids to learn. Tell them, "Here's what you're going to get out of this assignment. I think it will help you. Or find a different way to learn this material." But don't require homework and grade it because, in my opinion, it confuses the means for the end. You say the best way to motivate a child for the things you think he should focus on is to let him spend time on the things he wants to focus on. Why? There's a scientist by the name of Reed Larson who studies adolescent development with a strong focus on motivation. And he concluded some years ago that the best way to develop a self-motivated, older-adolescent adult is to encourage their participation in their pastimes — in the stuff they love. The point he's made is that, if a kid is deeply involved in something that he loves to do, he's going to create a brain-state that combines high focus, high energy, high effort and low stress. Ideally, at least in our professional lives, that's where we want to be most of the time. We want to be interested, engaged, active, alert, and focused but not highly stressed. In my own experience, I was a C+ student in high school, but I spent at least two or three hours a night working on rock 'n' roll music. I was in a band and learned to play instruments and learning chord structure and practicing harmony parts. Oftentimes, I'd tell myself, "Well, I'll go into my music room for half an hour, and then I'll do some homework." But commonly, two-and-a-half hours later, I'd come out and have no idea where all the time went. I feel that I really sculpted a brain that, once I found something professionally that really speaks to me, I could go pedal to the metal. Want to stay in touch?

Burglary | Reno, Nevada Criminal Lawyer William J. Routsis II, Esq. Burglary is a serious criminal offense that carries harsh penalties, often involving prison time. Reno burglary defense lawyer William J. Routsis understands that a well-prepared and fact-specific defense can lead to a better outcome for his clients. Devoting personalized attention to each case, Mr. Routsis has earned a reputation as an aggressive and dedicated advocate for criminal defendants throughout his 25-year career. He also has represented people facing burglary, shoplifting, and other theft charges in Sparks and Washoe County, as well as many other communities in Nevada and California. Although the crime of burglary evolved from common law, the present-day burglary statute is significantly different. In Nevada, burglary is defined as an entry with the intent to commit grand or petit larceny, assault or battery, or any other felony, or to obtain money or property by false pretenses. Significantly, only the intent to commit a felony or larceny is necessary, and the act does not need to be carried out. The entry must occur in a house, room, apartment, shop, warehouse, store, barn, stable, building, tent, vehicle, trailer, airplane, boat, railroad car, or some other structure as provided in the statute. Breaking and entering, or the use of force to gain entry, is not required to commit a burglary. Nor does it matter which time of day or night the entry occurred. While housebreaking and home invasion are similar offenses, unlike with burglary, the intent to commit a serious or violent crime is not required. Burglary is a felony offense in Nevada. If convicted, the crime is punishable by a minimum of one year in prison, with a maximum sentence of 10 years. A fine of up to $10,000 may be imposed as well. This makes it critical to consult a burglary defense attorney in the Reno area who can protect your rights. In some cases, the penalty for a burglary conviction may be enhanced, such as if the defendant has a prior criminal history. In addition, if the defendant had a firearm or deadly weapon in their possession, or they gained possession of such a weapon during the course of the burglary, the minimum prison term is increased to two years, with a maximum sentence of 15 years. A criminal attorney who understands the details of your burglary case can identify potential defenses that may be available to help you avoid a conviction or reach a favorable plea agreement with the prosecution. Remember that the prosecution has a heavy burden to prove each element of the offense of burglary. In many cases, the defense will attempt to weaken the prosecution's case by moving the court to suppress evidence offered by the prosecution if it was obtained illegally or in violation of the defendant's constitutional rights. For example, a police search of your home performed without your consent or a valid warrant could lead the court to exclude evidence obtained as a result of the search. The defense can also present its own evidence, such as witness testimony or videos, which can demonstrate that the defendant lacked the intent to commit the crime or establish that they were mistakenly identified or that they have a strong alibi. If you or a loved one has been charged with burglary, a criminal defense lawyer can guide you through the proceedings and negotiate with the prosecution on your behalf. Attorney William J. Routsis has over two decades of criminal defense experience in Nevada and California courts.
