(CNN) -- Italian giants Juventus have completed the signing of Brazil playmaker Diego from German Bundesliga club Werder Bremen in a $34 million deal.
Brazil playmaker Diego, right, has completed his $34 million move to Juventus from Werder Bremen.
The 24-year-old, who missed the recent UEFA Cup final defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk because of suspension, has penned a five-year contract with the Serie A giants.
"I am enthusiastic and delighted to be a part of such a prestigious club," said Diego, whose contract at Werder Bremen was due to run until June 2011. "I have dreamed of this moment since I was a child.
Diego joined three seasons ago from Porto and his Werder farewell will be in the German Cup final against Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend.
"After an experience in Portugal and in the Bundesliga, I will be able to prove my worth at a high level but difficult competition," he added.
"It is the right time for me to take this important step and I am convinced that at Juventus I will be able to achieve great results."
Last week, Juventus announced that Italy captain Fabio Cannavaro is rejoining them after three years at Real Madrid.
News of Cannavaro's return came less than 24 hours after the club sacked coach Claudio Ranieri and replaced him with former player and youth coach Ciro Ferrara.
Ferrara's appointment had an immediate impact and Juventus are now level on points with AC Milan in second position after a 3-0 weekend victory at Siena.
It was their first win in eight matches and guaranteed them Champions League action next season.
The 35-year-old Cannavaro was voted world player of the year after leading Italy to World Cup glory in 2006 and has helped Real to achieve two title triumphs during his stay in Spain. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 300 |
Cinema Reviews Thoughts
Although it barely made a dent at the US box office the story of ex-CIA agent Valerie Plame makes for an impressive political drama.
Although it barely made a dent at the US box office, the story of ex-CIA agent Valerie Plame makes for an impressive political drama.
Despite being one of the key world events of the last decade, the Iraq War has proved to be box office poison for films attempting to deal with it.
Films such as In the Valley of Elah (2007), Body of Lies (2008), Stop-Loss (2008) and Green Zone (2010) have all shunned by mainstream US audiences who presumably don't want to dwell on the painful consequences of a politically divisive conflict.
So it proved with Fair Game, which explores how the Bush White House leaked the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts) in retaliation for an article her diplomat husband Joe Wilson (Sean Penn) had criticised the justification for war in 2003.
But despite the lack of interest from US audiences it is an expertly assembled piece of work and easily director Doug Liman's best film in years.
After an opening which establishes Plame's background as an undercover operative the drama begins when Wilson is asked to travel to Niger in order to ascertain whether they have sold uranium to Iraq.
After concluding that there's no substance to the claim, he is enraged when the White House use his report as part of their justification for war, prompting him to write an angry counter-blast in the New York Times.
This then triggers a rebuttal by syndicated columnist Robert Novak which outs Plame and triggers not only the end of her career but a political scandal involving Vice President Cheney's chief of staff, Scooter Libby (David Andrews) and undercover operatives endangered by the leak.
Some will have issues with the details of the script by Jez Butterworth and John Butterworth, which is largely based on the Wilson's two memoirs.
But whatever the interpretations it weaves reporting, details and anecdotes to powerfully evoke the heady rush to war in 2003 when the Bush White House was keen to steamroller any dissent regarding the invasion.
It is also a powerful depiction of a marriage thrown into turmoil as many in the media establishment initially side with the White House having swallowed the justifications for war.
Watts is convincing as a working CIA agent, conveying her frustrations with agency politics and the consequences for her life and career.
Penn inhabits his role effectively, as one might expect, even if his performance does involve a fair bit of scenery chewing as he seeks to defend his wife and principles.
In small but significant supporting roles, Sam Shepard, Noah Emmerich, Michael Kelly and Bruce McGill are all good value as Washington insiders.
The real star though is Doug Liman and the film represents a new creative lease of life for him after making studio fare such as Mr and Mrs Smith (2005) and Jumper (2008).
Serving as his own cinematographer for the first time since Go (1999), the visuals have a compelling immediacy and the narrative moves at a decent pace despite cramming in a lot of material into the 105 minute running time.
The world of Washington circa 2003 is also effectively evoked by Jess Gonchor's production design.
It may be some years before mainstream US culture is ready to digest the Iraq War – it took a decade before films like Platoon (1986) revisited the deep scars of Vietnam – but Fair Game is an honourable and well made reminder of the nature of the government who engineered the conflict.
Fair Game opens at UK cinemas on Friday 11th March

Warts Q & A
What causes warts?
Warts are caused by a viral infection that occurs when the tiny virus bodies enter the skin through a small opening like a blister, tiny abrasion, or even a soft area around the nail bed. Once the virus enters the skin, it establishes its "roots" deep beneath the skin. The visible portion of the wart above the skin is just the "tip of the iceberg," so to speak, with the majority of the wart buried beneath the surface. Like the fungus that causes athlete's foot, the virus that causes warts prefers warm, damp environments like public locker rooms and showers and public pools, and going barefoot in these areas can increase the chances of developing an infection. People with compromised immune systems are more likely to contract warts since the body isn't as well-equipped to ward off the viral infection. Circulation problems including those associated with diabetes also increase the risk of developing warts.
How are warts treated?
Because of their deep roots, warts can be difficult to treat, and over-the-counter preparations are rarely strong enough to penetrate to the deeper layers to destroy the entire viral population. Plus, stronger over-the-counter preparations can wind up injuring surrounding tissues, causing scarring and even increasing the risk of infections. Professional wart care uses medications and other techniques to reach the deeper layers of tissue where warts hide so they can be destroyed at their source. In addition to topical medicines, oral medications may also be prescribed to fight the virus systemically. Many warts can be successfully treated with electrocautery ("burning" them off with electricity) or cryotherapy (using liquid nitrogen to freeze them off). Depending on the depth of the wart and how many warts are present, multiple treatments may be needed to completely eradicate the virus.
Can I prevent warts?
The best way to prevent warts is to avoid being barefoot in warm, damp, public areas like gym locker rooms and showers, and to avoid wearing other people's shoes and socks. It's also very important to schedule an office visit at the first sign of a wart, when treatment tends to be much simpler.

At UN, Trump threatens 'total destruction' of North Korea
By The Associated Press on September 19, 2017
ShareTweetShareShareShareShare
(AP photo)
UNITED NATIONS – President Donald Trump vowed Tuesday to "totally destroy North Korea" if the U.S. is forced to defend itself or its allies against the renegade nation's nuclear weapons program, making his case in a combative debut speech to the U.N. that laid out a stark, good-vs-evil view of a globe riven by chaos and turmoil.
Trump's broadsides against "rogue regimes," North Korea chief among them, drew murmurs from the assembled world leaders and served as a searing salute to his nationalism during diplomatic prime time. He said it was "far past time" for the world to confront Kim Jong Un, declaring that the North Korean leader's pursuit of nuclear weapons poses a threat to "the entire world with an unthinkable loss of human life."
"Rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and his regime," Trump said, mocking the North Korean leader even as he sketched out potentially cataclysmic consequences. The president himself decided to work the nickname into his speech just hours before he took the dais, according to aides.
Trump spoke of his own nation's "patience," but said that if "forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea."
Trump's overheated language was rare for a U.S. president at the rostrum of the United Nations, but the speech was textbook Trump, dividing the globe into friends and foes and taking unflinching aim at America's enemies. North Korea's ambassador and another top diplomat left the General Assembly chamber before he spoke to boycott his speech, leaving behind two empty chairs.
The president urged nations to work together to stop Iran's nuclear program and defeat "loser terrorists" who wage violence around the globe. He denounced "radical Islamic terrorism," an inflammatory label he had shied away from in recent months after trumpeting it on the campaign trail. He called Syrian President Bashar Assad's government a "criminal regime." He said violence-plagued regions of the world "are going to hell." He made little mention of Russia.
For all of that, he said there was still hope the United Nations could solve "many of these vicious and complex problems."
But he focused more on the problems than the hopes.
His lashing of North Korea was a vigorous restatement of what's been said by U.S. leaders before, but delivered with new intensity in the august setting of the General Assembly. After a litany of accusations – the starvation of millions, the abduction of a Japanese girl and more – he questioned the legitimacy of the communist government by referring to it as a "band of criminals."
Trump, who has previously warned of "fire and fury" if Pyongyang does not back down, claimed that "no one has shown more contempt for other nations and for the well-being of their own people than the depraved regime in North Korea." And he scolded that it was "an outrage" to enable and trade with North Korea, seeming to point a finger at China, although he did not mention it by name.
Despite the speech's bombast, it signaled little in the way of policy change. Trump stopped short of demanding regime change, which North Korea regards as the ultimate American intention and treats as a reason for its development of nuclear weapons. That may offer some reassurance to China and Russia, which have urged the U.S. to tone down its rhetoric and restart dialogue with North Korea.
Trump, who frequently belittled the U.N. as a candidate, urged the world leaders to embrace their own "national sovereignty to do more to ensure the prosperity and security of their own countries.
"I will always put America first. Just like you, the leaders of your countries, should and always put your countries first," he said. "We can no longer be taken advantage of or enter into a one-sided deal in which the United States gets nothing in return."
Trump's blistering speech came just minutes after U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres put "nuclear peril" as the gravest threat facing the world and warned that "fiery talk can lead to fatal misunderstandings."
On Iran, Trump called the government a rogue state whose chief export is "violence, bloodshed and chaos." He accused Tehran of squandering Iran's wealth by supporting Syria's Assad, Lebanon's Hezbollah militia and Yemen's Houthi rebel group.
Trump called the U.N.-backed Iran nuclear deal "an embarrassment" to the United States and suggested it was one of the worst international pacts ever struck. And he hinted that his administration, which has accused Tehran of aiding terrorism in the Middle East, could soon declare Iran out of compliance with the deal, which could unravel it.
"I don't think you've heard the end of it," Trump said. "Believe me."
The administration must decide in mid-October whether it will certify that Iran is still in compliance with the agreement.
He also decried the "disastrous rule" of Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro and urged the U.N. to step in
The speech drew varying reactions from leaders on the two sides of Trump's black-and-white ledger. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a Trump ally, wrote on Twitter, "In over 30 years in my experience with the UN, I never heard a bolder or more courageous speech." Javad Zarif, the foreign minister of Iran, wrote that "Trump's ignorant hate speech belongs in medieval times-not the 21st Century UN -unworthy of a reply."
On Twitter late Tuesday, Trump claimed he met with "leaders of many nations who agree with much (or all) of what I stated in my speech!"
Domestically, reaction largely broke down along party lines: Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California said Trump used the U.N. "as a stage to threaten war." Onetime Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney tweeted that Trump "gave a strong and needed challenge" to the U.N.
Outside of an oblique reference to a threat to Ukraine's sovereignty, Trump made no mention of Russia or its president, Vladimir Putin. He chastised the U.N. for what he said was a bloated budget and bureaucracy but did not reiterate previous threats to cut Washington's commitment to the world body. Instead, pledged the United States would be "partners in your work" to make the organization a more effective force for world peace.

Mammography in women aged 40 to 49 years- Harms outweigh benefits, states new American College of Physicians( ACP) guidance for Breast Cancer Screening in average-risk women.
American College of Physicians has published guidance statements for screening breast cancer targeting clinicians the women who are asymptomatic by are at average risk of breast cancer. The purpose of the guidance statements is to provide advice to clinicians on breast cancer screening in average-risk women based on a review of existing guidelines and the evidence they include. The statement is inferred from an appraisal of selected guidelines from around the world that address breast cancer screening, as well as their included evidence.
The guidance appeared in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
The ACP committee noted that, in general, the magnitude of reduction in breast cancer mortality associated with mammography screening is small, a point it believes most guidelines did not emphasize.
All national guidelines published in English between 1 January 2013 and 15 November 2017 in the National Guideline Clearinghouse or Guidelines International Network library were included. In addition, the authors selected other guidelines commonly used in clinical practice.
In average-risk women aged 50 to 74 years, clinicians should offer to screen for breast cancer with biennial mammography.
Clinicians should discontinue screening in women aged ≥75 or those with life expectancy ≤10 years.
Age is the single most important risk factor for breast cancer. Included guidelines generally define average-risk women as those who do not have a personal history of breast cancer or a previous diagnosis of a high-risk breast lesion, are not at high risk for breast cancer due to genetic mutations known to increase that risk (such as BRCA1/2 gene mutation or another familial breast cancer syndrome), and were not exposed to radiation therapy to the chest in childhood.
Rather than developing a new clinical practice guideline in these circumstances ACP instead prepares and releases guidance statements that rely on evidence presented or referenced in selected guidelines and accompanying evidence reports. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 304 |

Sport South Africa victorious in the year the World Cup reached new heights
South Africa victorious in the year the World Cup reached new heights
A victory for rugby, if not for England
Alice Bruce
South Africa's victory in the 2019 world cup has ended a magnificent tournament, marking a new, exciting chapter for world rugby. South Africa's third world cup win, their last against England in 2007, was a true triumph for the Springboks who brought renewed energy and power to their play after a narrow victory against Wales in the Semi-final. This win is particularly important to the trajectory of South African Rugby with Siya Kolisi leading the side as their first black captain. A month prior to the start of the world cup Springbok legend Chester Williams, the only person of colour in the famous 1995 winning side, passed away. This final and the tournament as a whole can be seen as reflecting the progress made in world rugby since that match, both in terms of the diversity in the South African team and the tournament as a whole. Whilst the globally connected rugby family of supporters will remember and cherish the lives of many rugby greats, including Williams, Lomu, van der Westhuizen and Small who have all passed away since the last world cup, the future of the game has been showed to be in safe hands, and moving in an exciting direction.
For England, the final was a sour ending to their near perfect tournament, after last week displaying one of their best ever performances to beat New Zealand. Coming into the final the young side seemed primed and ready, with an unchanged starting fifteen appearing to be perfectly reaching their apex after four years of hard work and transformation. Star performer Ben Curry was supported by twin Tom who was allowed by his club Sale Sharks to fly out at the last minute, but it was another Shark's star playing in green, Faf de Klerk, who stole the show on Saturday. With Farrell missing an important penalty and mistakes creeping into England's play, the occasion of the game seemed to rattle the players, particularly after Kyle Sinckler was knocked out in the opening minutes of the match. Despite this loss England managed to reach their first final in 12 years and many of the players visibly upped their game in this tournament, with the likes of Itoje and Underhill showing themselves to be up there with the best in the world.
One of the most important reflections on this world cup has to be that the decision ten years ago to hold the Rugby World Cup in Japan, the first in Asia, has been completely vindicated and an unqualified success. Japan has been the perfect host for this world cup, we've seen respect, compassion and international friendship reinjected into the game, thanks in large part to the incredible atmosphere brought by the host nation's fans. Bowing at the end of games in recognition of the crowd's support has been just one example of the best of rugby which has been brought out this autumn. Whilst everyone wants to win it is a great inevitable, invaluable life experience to learn to lose or fail with dignity and good grace – which the teams in this competition have clearly expressed. Rugby has captured a new national fan base, with half of the Japanese population watching their team's games as they skilfully made their way to the quarter finals for the first time. With a tragic typhoon hitting during the end of the qualifying round matches, the Japanese have handled with great skill and expertise an almost unmanageable set of tragic circumstances. Despite this they have ensured the safety of the players, the international supporters and also safeguarded and maintained the integrity of the competition. It may be years before the full impact of this tournament is fully known and appreciated but hopefully we can look forward to many years of top class, global rugby to come. Ex-Welsh rugby International Gareth Thomas believes that the increasingly multicultural tournament has proved an invaluable vehicle for improving and enriching diversity in general. The warmth of the welcome, the generosity of the Japanese people, the indomitable spirit will live long in the collective memory.

Social Media: A Path to Societal Decadence?
With the public promulgation of the internet in the wake of 1990's, a new era dawned upon humanity. What once used to be a time of familial gathering after dinner to savor stories from the past became the internet surfers lone time. Today, as one strolls along roadside cafés, subway trains, or sits at the campus cafeteria, the so called "social arenas", all that he'd come across are familiar faces entangled in a world of their own. Headphones covering their ears and faces lit with the bright glare from their electronic devices, they have isolated themselves from society. The social engineers say that we are more "connected" to everyone with the help of the social media, but sadly the truth is that we may have a thousand friends on facebook, but at the end of the day we are still alone, sitting at some Starbucks, head buried in our laptops, scared to even talk to the person sitting right next to us.
The foremost predicament that one faces at the hands of social media is unwanted exposure, little known fact is that we have almost next to no control over the information we share over social networking websites such as Facebook, My Space or Hi5. Although the websites do accommodate privacy settings but these settings can be easily over-ridden or bypassed by experienced computer hackers in a matter of seconds. Leaving most users highly susceptible to identity theft and fully exposed with critical information such as place of work, school, family members and sometimes even the place where they are at, at any given moment in time.
With there being limited or almost no control over personal information online there comes a huge risk of security at hand, according to Daily Mail it has been estimated that 12,300 cases of murder, sex predation and rape…...

...The Student Journal for Media Literacy Education is published twice each year, and includes articles by undergraduate college students studying media literacy. Social Media Impact and Implications on Society By Nick Pernisco, SJMLE Editor In the past five years, social media websites have become ubiquitous, giving young people a new way to interact with each other and communicate with the world. This new form of communication depends on usercreated content, not mass produced messages coming from large media companies. But as with other media before it, social media's rise to prominence has experienced some very serious growing pains. Companies like Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter have struggled to balance an inviting interactive environment with the ultimate pursuit of profits. Thanks to these sites, our expectations of the web, as well as society, have changed. This issue of the Student Journal for Media Literacy Education aims to explore some of the issues related to social media, and a generation fully engaged in this interactive world. The main focus is popular social media sites such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube, and LinkedIn, but other social networking sites are explored as well. All articles in the Journal have been written by college students in Santa Monica College's Reading The Media course in Spring 2010, under my supervision. The students selected from a list of topic related to current issues in social media. I reviewed all of the......
Economic Effect of Social Media
...Executive Summary Social media, online social networking service, has been existed for a long time. In that time, people use social media as an effective way to expand our social circle. People who use these sites form a social network, which provides a very strong and powerful way to connect, share interests, and keep in touch with others across the miles. However, as "the valuation of Facebook raised in a significant way, settling at figures in excess of $80 billion just after the company's developer conference in September, 2011" (O'Dell, 2011). This valuation of the social media is only ranked second to Google's. Even an obtuse CEO can realize the important impact on the business industry that social media will bring. Such a high valuation is not only because Facebook provides more than 600 million users a platform to communicate with each other, both in their leisure time and at work. Therefore, it is obvious to observe the social media's economic impact. The economic impacts of the social media are increased work opportunities, decreased business cost, positive push in consumers' purchasing behavior, increased opportunities for small businesses, and increased employees' productivity. However, one thing should be noted that there may some different economic impacts in different countries because each country has their own cultures, economies, and business structures. Introduction of Social Media Social media, online social networking service, is among the most......
Social Media Effects on Business
...Social Media Effects on Business Contemporary Business – Dr. Professor March 10, 2010 Social media is a popularity tool for individuals and business. As an experiment in the infancy of globalization it has outgrown its original hypothesis'. If sites such as Facebook were their own countries, they would be placed in the podium of power internationally. (Divol, R., Edelman, D., & Sarrazin, H. 2012) So, it would be safe to assume that star power is worth its time spent creating. By publishing high quality work and building a massive amount of followers; your audience will share your information with their audience. (Gunelius, Susan. 2013) However, from a marketing stand point business can't rely on social media alone. "If you spend all your time on the social Web directly promoting your products and services, people will stop listening. You must add value to the conversation. Focus less on conversions and more on creating amazing content and developing relationships with online influencers. In time, those people will become a powerful catalyst for word-of-mouth marketing for your business." (Gunelius, Susan. 2013) Gaining popularity in the business landscape of the twenty first century is quite different than that of the past century, and adversely more evolved than the nineteenth century. Prior to the industrial revolution consumers learned of new products and services by word of mouth, the occasional publication, and pounding the ground beneath their soles. The...

Topic 1) Research question: How has social media affected the standard for social interaction amongst one another? 2) Working thesis: There are more than two hundred social networking websites. Some people have no idea about the dangers of social networking. If not monitored, social networking can be dangerous. 3) Angle: Cyber bullies, pedophiles and scam artists are making social networking dangerous. As a society we have allowed interactions amongst one another to resort to social media without verifying whom sits behind the other device you communicate with. B. Context 1) Recently there has been an increase in cyber bullying leading to increase suicides among adolescents as social media has become an avenue to emotionally assault one another. 2) Cyber bullying is a danger that is becoming more popular with the use of social networking.

Social media not only aids in communication, but changes how one may interact with another in daily life. Social media is now of eloquent importance within today's modern civilization. It is an attribute which shows how integrated ones social interactions have turned into. Whether for good or bad purposes, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and YouTube are current examples of how interactive platforms hold the capability to change the future (Guha 1). The world which one lives in is constantly being impacted by various advances in technology through social media. News, a source of such valuable information, is being passed around faster than before. General interaction has increased significantly, even with distance and time inconveniences. Political unrest in Egypt, elections in Iran, and President Obama's reelection have all been influenced by social media. Social media has created both considerable political awareness and organization (Guha 1). "As social media becomes more normalized, we'll stop seeing it as changing things and start seeing it as the way things are. As a society we'll be OK. We've always adjusted to new technology. So whether it's wearable communication media, or more cloud computing, we'll change and adapt" (Keller 1). Social platforms......
Negative Effects of Social Media
...Negative Effects of Social Media Although created to allow people to keep in contact, social media is a ticking time bomb that has adverse effects. The negative effects from social media sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, range from misinformation to arguments and depression. There is nothing that goes unsaid when it comes to online communication. Numerous hot topics are hit every single day leading to resentment, hate and the ending of friendships. False Information The commonality of false information on social media is unreal. Every day I skim through my Facebook feed, I see the most ridiculous things being shared by my friends that are assumed to be true. I can't help but to subconsciously look down on people who share such things. Users of social media are much too quick to share information without first verifying their sources. It is 2014 and in this day and age, we are only as smart as our ability to use the internet correctly. Establishing the validity of everything shared is something that should be done more often, yet is rarely done at all. There are countless bogus websites, such as The Onion, who post ridiculous articles that prey on the emotions from recent events. Current, trending topics are Robin Williams' suicide and the case of Michael Brown. People are getting extremely worked up reading false articles that lead to their misguided opinions on topics that aren't even real. It's no secret that when emotions and social media mix, fire is ignited. ...

We employ case study methodology to track and compare games across several user communities, analyzing content and discourse in structure, representation of identity, use of the system, and genre development. Examining individual and group dynamics in play, we extract models for their transmission and formation. Framing tag games as contemporary folklore, we examine how video sharing technology has become subject of folklore as well as an a vehicle for it. As the research suggests, games studied exhibit not only play in sharing and showing details, but in organizing and structuring ideas and identities, thus revealing a complex informal information infrastructure. In conclusion, we consider how this infrastructural model compares to formal systems of indexing. #2: Andres Monroy-Hernandez, MIT Media Lab 'Copyrights and copycats: understanding young people's remixing practices' Digital technologies have made it easier for people, youth in particular, to copy and reuse other people's songs, pictures, code and other forms of digital creations.

Effect of Social Media
...Introduction Social media had been a massive part in every household. Technology had given us a great deal and helped us with our tasks and made everything easy. We know that social media sites like (Google+, Twitter, Facebook and Yahoo) had introduced us in many methods that can connect people easier. Social media sites had been a popular means to connect with other people over the Internet. During the 1980's home computers were becoming more common in every household and social media sites were becoming more refined. According to Hendricks, (2013) The Internet relay chats, or IRCs, were first used in 1988 and were popularized into the '90s. The first popular social media site, Six Degrees, was created in 1997. The site enabled its users to upload a profile and make friends with the other users. By 2006, Facebook and Twitter both became available to users throughout the world. These sites still remain as the most popular social network on the Internet. After the success of these social media sites, other sites like Tumbler, Spotify, Foursquare and Pinterest began appearing to fill specific social network niches. Furthermore, Hendricks (2013) emphasized that, "there are a tremendous variety of social networking sites, and many of them can be linked to allow cross posting. This creates an environment where users can reach the maximum number of people without sacrificing the intimacy of person-to-person communication. We can only speculate about what the future of social......
Negative Effects of the Social Media
...Negative Effects of the Social Media Nowadays with the development of advanced technology, social media become more and more popular. There are about 2 billion social media users around the globe. By social media, people can share and receive updated information whenever and whatever they do. Many people are keen on the social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube because they can connect people with each other conveniently. However, these social media bring many potential dangers. In my opinion, social media do more harm than good. It is no doubt that social media provide people lots of conveniences. For example, if students encounter difficult questions in homework, they do not need to use telephones or mobile phones any longer. They just need to log in their Facebook and discuss the problems with friends. This method not only saves time but also saves a telephone charge. That's why social media are so popular that billions of people use them. Although the social media have benefits, they bring many harms. The problem that students are addicted to the social media is becoming more and more severe. For example, many students who have lots of friends in the Facebook spend much time on chatting with friends and ignore their studies. In addition, the flash games on Facebook are like drugs. The games make students addicted so that they can not concentrate on studying. Spending several hours is very common for them. Social media is also harmful to the social......

Social Media and Its Effects on Society
...John Drozd Writing 101 04/07/2016 Social Media and Its Impacts on Society One of the biggest invention in the world is social media. A tool that changed our society and the way we communicate with others. The aspects of social media both have a positive and negative impact on life. Websites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter has made it easier for people to communicate with other people all over the world. However, this type of technology might be doing more harm than good. The downfall of social media is that it prevents people to have a face to face interaction. Without that face to face interaction, false information can be used such as identity. Social media reflex a negative influence in school, relationships, self-influence, and interaction with others. Social media has expanded and became more popular not only to teens but to adults as well. Meeting new people may seem like it has become a good concept because of social networks, but it is the complete opposite. For example, when a guy compliments a girl, the possibility of a girl responding back to a guy in person is way higher than the possibility of a guy leaving a compliment on a girl's picture. People usually tend to respond to people to attractive people and to people that they know personally. The sad truth is that growing up with social media, people feel more comfortable talking behind a computer than in person. This......
The Effects of Social Media on Education
...Discuss, with the use of examples, two negative ways in which the social media has been affecting formal Standard English use in the Jamaica classroom and one methodology that a teacher of English might employ to combat these negative effects. The social media craze is one that affects most if not all persons today. Whether we are old, young, from different races or cultures, we have been exposed to these channels of interaction in some way. Not only that but we have a wide range of these Medias to select from. While some operate one or two accounts, there are those with multiple social media accounts for example Facebook, Twitter, Tagged, Viber, Whatsapp and so on. These types of media serve many different purposes including the replacement of traditional news forms, keeping in contact with friends and family members and to promote businesses and social events. The reality of it all, however, is that everything has both advantages and disadvantages. In this case we examine the negative effects of social media on the use of Standard English in the Jamaican Classroom. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to emphasize the extent to which the use of social media has contributed to the inappropriate use of the Standard Jamaican English and the poor expression in written language among our Jamaican students. Jamaica has been described as a bilingual society with the Jamaican Creole (JC) and Standard Jamaican English (SJE) being the major and minor languages. However the......

...The Effects of Social Media on Generation Y Abbigail Bronkema Chamberlain College of Nursing Abstract This paper explores the effects of Social media on today's Millennials. Social media has created an environment that allows for communication and sharing posts with friends and even someone unknown. This paper also explores three published books and three articles that report on the effects of Social media on social and personal behavior. In the first section of this paper it examines the difficulty of interpersonal communication, that has been created by Social media, for Generation Y. Keller (2013) suggests that we are more social and more interactive with other but the style of communication has changed. This paper also looks at the ability to interact with anyone through different media sites. Cabral (2008) reports that younger generations are changing how the society communicates on many different levels. The last section of this paper examines the fulfillment without delay that Social media provides to Millennials. Alsop (2014) supports that social media supplies instant gratification whenever Millennials need it. Keywords: Social media, Interpersonal communication, Instant gratification The Effects of Social Media on Generation Y There are many influences that shape today's Millennials lifestyles and behaviors. Families, friends, and environment are the main factors that shape a person as they grow, but today social media has begun to make its......
The Negative Effects of Social Media
...The Negative Effects of Social Media Christine M. Boyd University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Social media is something that has become a part of the lives of millions. Every day we see people constantly posting on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Some think that these media outlets unite people together, but I'm beginning to think the contrary is closer to the truth. It's common to see multiple people in a room glued to their phones instead of actually engaging with each other. In this paper, I will investigate why people have developed an obsession with social media, how social media creates a false reality, and how social media can be harmful to our mental health. There are a variety of reasons why people have developed an obsession with social media, making it harder to cut ties with it. According to the article Technology Addiction in Adolescents by Vivek Agarwal and Sujit Kumar Kar, "Companies making mobile phones, made them compatible for other technologies like – games, videos, internet browsing and many other applications which facilitate their wide circulation and making them more addicting objects" (pg. 171). When people have constant internet access through their smart phones, it makes it extremely difficult to avoid social media. Smart phones usually vibrate or make a noise when you get a Facebook or Twitter notification, which can increase your likelihood of checking the application. Along with constant internet access, excessive social media use has been......
...Social networks and effect on society People don't realize how social networks are negatively affecting our professional life and social life. Now days everybody is on some kind social networking, whether its FaceBook, MySpace, Twitter, or Instagram, etc. Have any one realize that the negative effects of social networking is extending to people private, professional, and social lives. Social networking is affecting areas of life such as social activity, low productivity, and the loss of privacy. Some people don't realize that there isn't any privacy on social networking sites. A lot of people may not beware that the information they post is public, along with photos and texts that can be retrieved after its been deleted. Consequences such as being vulnerable to sexual or financial predators and it can cost you your job or potential employment opportunites, because now days most jobs check to see if you're on a social network site, embarrassing photos or comments can really hurt your self image. On most social networking site, they don't have a way to verify who people say they are. This leaves people more vulnerable to solicitations from sexual predators who covering their true identity. In February 2009, MySpace identified over 90,000 accounts on their site that were sex offenders. Facebook didn't reveal how many they found on their site. The sites can remove sex offenders, but they cant identify all of them or stop them from creating new accounts. The public......

Q: How to find out child tables for a given table I have a table 'A ' in MSSQL. It is the parent table for many other tables. there are about atleast 200 tables depending on this table. ( These 200 tables have foreign key references to 'A'. I thought all 200 tables have on-delete -cascade clause with table 'A' .
There is a query in my application which deletes records from 'A' based on two parameters in 'WHERE' Clause. But It is throwing Caused by:
com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: The DELETE statement conflicted with the REFERENCE constraint
Now I realize that not all tables are connected with 'ON DELETE CASCADE' WITH TABLE 'A'. It is tedious to see all tables having foreign key references to table 'A' or ON DELETE CASCADE link to Table 'A'.
Is there a short cut to know all dependencies, instead of generating DDL's of all tables and see.

Random musings on style and substance
Good News Monday: Yes, Vaccines Work!
Encouraging news from today's New York Times (Sorry, the formatting is a little wonky):
Why the vaccine news is better than you may think.
By David Leonhardt
Preparing the Pfizer vaccine in Phoenix.Adriana Zehbrauskas for The New York Times
'We're underselling the vaccine'
Early in the pandemic, many health experts — in the U.S. and around the world — decided that the public could not be trusted to hear the truth about masks. Instead, the experts spread a misleading message, discouraging the use of masks.
Their motivation was mostly good. It sprung from a concern that people would rush to buy high-grade medical masks, leaving too few for doctors and nurses. The experts were also unsure how much ordinary masks would help.
But the message was still a mistake.
It confused people. (If masks weren't effective, why did doctors and nurses need them?) It delayed the widespread use of masks (even though there was good reason to believe they could help). And it damaged the credibility of public health experts.
"When people feel as though they may not be getting the full truth from the authorities, snake-oil sellers and price gougers have an easier time," the sociologist Zeynep Tufekci wrote early last year.
Now a version of the mask story is repeating itself — this time involving the vaccines. Once again, the experts don't seem to trust the public to hear the full truth.
This issue is important and complex enough that I'm going to make today's newsletter a bit longer than usual. If you still have questions, don't hesitate to email me at [email protected].
'Ridiculously encouraging'
Right now, public discussion of the vaccines is full of warnings about their limitations: They're not 100 percent effective. Even vaccinated people may be able to spread the virus. And people shouldn't change their behavior once they get their shots.
These warnings have a basis in truth, just as it's true that masks are imperfect. But the sum total of the warnings is misleading, as I heard from multiple doctors and epidemiologists last week.
"It's driving me a little bit crazy," Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown School of Public Health, told me.
"We're underselling the vaccine," Dr. Aaron Richterman, an infectious-disease specialist at the University of Pennsylvania, said.
"It's going to save your life — that's where the emphasis has to be right now," Dr. Peter Hotez of the Baylor College of Medicine said.
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines are "essentially 100 percent effective against serious disease," Dr. Paul Offit, the director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said. "It's ridiculously encouraging."
Here's my best attempt at summarizing what we know:
The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines — the only two approved in the U.S. — are among the best vaccines ever created, with effectiveness rates of about 95 percent after two doses. That's on par with the vaccines for chickenpox and measles. And a vaccine doesn't even need to be so effective to reduce cases sharply and crush a pandemic.
If anything, the 95 percent number understates the effectiveness, because it counts anyone who came down with a mild case of Covid-19 as a failure. But turning Covid into a typical flu — as the vaccines evidently did for most of the remaining 5 percent — is actually a success. Of the 32,000 people who received the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine in a research trial, do you want to guess how many contracted a severe Covid case? One.
Although no rigorous study has yet analyzed whether vaccinated people can spread the virus, it would be surprising if they did. "If there is an example of a vaccine in widespread clinical use that has this selective effect — prevents disease but not infection — I can't think of one!" Dr. Paul Sax of Harvard has written in The New England Journal of Medicine. (And, no, exclamation points are not common in medical journals.)
On Twitter, Dr. Monica Gandhi of the University of California, San Francisco, argued: "Please be assured that YOU ARE SAFE after vaccine from what matters — disease and spreading."
The risks for vaccinated people are still not zero, because almost nothing in the real world is zero risk. A tiny percentage of people may have allergic reactions. And I'll be eager to see what the studies on post-vaccination spread eventually show. But the evidence so far suggests that the vaccines are akin to a cure
Offit told me we should be greeting them with the same enthusiasm that greeted the polio vaccine: "It should be this rallying cry."
The costs of negativity
Why are many experts conveying a more negative message?
Again, their motivations are mostly good. As academic researchers, they are instinctively cautious, prone to emphasizing any uncertainty. Many may also be nervous that vaccinated people will stop wearing masks and social distancing, which in turn could cause unvaccinated people to stop as well. If that happens, deaths would soar even higher.
But the best way to persuade people to behave safely usually involves telling them the truth. "Not being completely open because you want to achieve some sort of behavioral public health goal — people will see through that eventually," Richterman said. The current approach also feeds anti-vaccine skepticism and conspiracy theories.
After asking Richterman and others what a better public message might sound like, I was left thinking about something like this:
We should immediately be more aggressive about mask-wearing and social distancing because of the new virus variants. We should vaccinate people as rapidly as possible — which will require approving other Covid vaccines when the data justifies it.
People who have received both of their vaccine shots, and have waited until they take effect, will be able to do things that unvaccinated people cannot — like having meals together and hugging their grandchildren. But until the pandemic is defeated, all Americans should wear masks in public, help unvaccinated people stay safe and contribute to a shared national project of saving every possible life.

I agree with your points, but there was news that 55 people in the US died form the vaccine. What do you think of that one?
adguru101 Post author January 18, 2021 at 6:09 pm
Thanks for writing, Betul. I have tried to look up that statistic and not found anything. But if more than 5.9 million have received the vaccine in the US (per the CDC on Jan 7) 55 deaths would be an extremely low percentage (.000009%). Many COVID deaths have been in the elderly and those with underlying conditions so I guess it's possible these populations would be most vulnerable — and they were also among the first to be vaccinated.
So I remain optimistic! Alisa

It leaves me lost for words that there are people who are refusing to have the vaccine.

April ice storm cost Hydro-Quebec $14 million due to damage, overtime
Hydro Quebec workers repair power lines in Laval, Que., on April 10, 2019 after an ice storm hit the area. The ice storm that plunged hundreds of thousands of Hydro-Quebec customers into darkness in April cost the provincial utility about $14 million, according to data it provided toRyan Remiorz / THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — The ice storm that plunged hundreds of thousands of Hydro-Quebec customers into darkness in April cost the provincial utility about $14 million, according to data provided to The Canadian Press.
In comparison, Hydro-Quebec said previously that tornadoes that swept the Gatineau area in September prompted about $8.4 million in damage-related expenditures.
At the height of the outages, which occurred from April 8-12, some 316,000 residential customers in Montreal, Laval, the Laurentians and the Lanaudiere region lost power.
During peak periods, Hydro-Quebec had up to 1,000 employees in the field, alongside teams from Hydro-Sherbrooke and Vermont's Green Mountain Power.
Workers — mainly line labourers — put in nearly 45,500 hours of overtime at a cost of about $3.6 million.
Hydro-Quebec says it's making efforts to limit overtime, but the Crown corporation will likely see its bill continue to rise in 2019.
Last year, it paid nearly $165 million in additional hours, owing in part to the Gatineau tornadoes and a winter storm in the Iles-de-la-Madeleine. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 315 |

All types of servers — volume, mid-range and high-end enterprise — saw gains. Demand for x86 servers remained strong and IBM saw gains for its Power systems and System z servers. The quarter was so strong for servers that even Unix servers showed sales gains for the first time in 11 quarters.

Q: Flash frame-rate is different in browser than it is in flash player I am using Flash CS4 and when testing my application my frame rate changes as it is programmed to do so. When I try to run the application in a browser (tried Firefox 4, Opera 10.5 and IE 8) the frame rate does not change.
Why does the frame-rate not change? How do I fix it?
A: Set your HTML so that the Flash Object's wmode is "opaque" (or transparent if you really need to). If you don't specify it, it will interpret it as some other default parameter which gives you that drop in frame-rate performance.
Sample:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data=
"YourFlashMovie.swf" width="640" height="480"
id="flash_id_1" style="visibility: visible;">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="allowScale" value="never" />
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" /> <!-- THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST SET -->
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="" />
<param name="scaleMode" value="" />
<param name="menu" value="false" />
</object>
Hope that helps.
A: The newest Flash Players are capped at a maximum of 60fps, no matter what number you use to set the framerate. That could be one issue... But if objects on the screen are slowing down there's nothing to be gained by changing the framerate. It means that your swf isn't well optimized, and the player is struggling to render the assets.

Gabe Catabran is the lead baritone on American River College's vocal jazz ensemble.
Catabran is a part of VJ1, the audition-required section of the jazz team.
He has been attending ARC for three years and "plans on transferring soon, maybe in about a year or so" said Catabran.
He started singing in an ensemble in high school, then eventually he joined the choir at ARC.
Catabran originally sung classical music, and was a part of ARC's classical group the Chamber Singers.
Arthur LaPierre, the director of the vocal jazz ensemble, worked as Catabran's personal voice coach.
"Gabe is steadily improving, his overall musicality has much improved this year," said LaPierre.
LaPierre was a big part of Catabran's decision in making the switch to jazz.
"I really like both of them but I like jazz more. My ear likes the thicker cords," said Catabran.
On Apr. 10, ARC will be one of the six ensembles in the country performing at the Monterey Next Generation Jazz Festival.
"This will be my first time going, and I'm really excited." said Catabran.
He credits Kurt Elling, American jazz vocalist, as his biggest musical inspiration at the moment.
"(Elling's) musical achievements are incredible. I even drove to Stanford to see him perform," said Catabran.
Joe Gilman, professor and occasional pianist for ARC's vocal jazz ensemble, has been working with Catabran for a little over three years.
Catabran will also be performing in the vocal jazz ensemble concert at ARC on March 16.

This week on the podcast, explorations of persona, which in Latin means "mask" or "character," and in the context of literature refers to the narrator, sometimes associated with the author and other times not. We're joined by dynamic poets Anthony Madrid and Duriel E. Harris.
"It's curious where different people think their mind is. I guess a lot of people believe that their mind is in their brain, in their head. To me, the mind seems to be spread out in the whole body -- the senses are part of the brain. I guess they're not where the thinking is done. But poetry is so physical, the music of it and the movement of thought. Maybe we can use a metaphor for it, out of dance. I think for many years I was aware of the need, in dance and in life, to breathe deeply and to take in more air than we usually take in. I find a tendency in myself not to breathe very much. And certainly I have noticed, over the years, when dancing or when running, that ideas will come to my mind with the oxygen. Suddenly you're remembering something that you haven't thought of for years.

1) In Blueprint 1, create two static meshes and a physics constraint between them.
2) In Blueprint 2, with a child actor component of Blueprint 1 and a static mesh.
3) In Blueprint 2 using OnEventPlay, use the Attach Actor To Component to attach Blueprint 2's static mesh to Blueprint 1.
4) Note that the physics constraint in Blueprint 1 is no longer functional.
Could you post a screenshot of your setup? The AttachActorToComponent node didn't work with the ChildActor and StaticMesh for me. I used an AttachTo node and everything worked fine.
Ill give the AttachTo node a shot tonight. Appreciate the feedback!
Did the AttachTo node work for you?

Explored and claimed by Christopher COLUMBUS on his first voyage in 1492, the island of Hispaniola became a springboard for Spanish conquest of the Caribbean and the American mainland.
In 1697, Spain recognized French dominion over the western third of the island, which in 1804 became Haiti. The remainder of the island, by then known as Santo Domingo, sought to gain its own independence in 1821, but was conquered and ruled by the Haitians for 22 years; it finally attained independence as the Dominican Republic in 1844.
In 1861, the Dominicans voluntarily returned to the Spanish Empire, but two years later they launched a war that restored independence in 1865. A legacy of unsettled, mostly non-representative rule followed, capped by the dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas TRUJILLO from 1930-61.
Juan BOSCH was elected president in 1962, but was deposed in a military coup in 1963. In 1965, the United States led an intervention in the midst of a civil war sparked by an uprising to restore BOSCH. In 1966, Joaquin BALAGUER defeated BOSCH in an election to become president.
BALAGUER maintained a tight grip on power for most of the next 30 years when international reaction to flawed elections forced him to curtail his term in 1996.
Since then, regular competitive elections have been held in which opposition candidates have won the presidency. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 322 |

Blog me on Eye Contact
No, I mean blog me about Eye Contact.
Charlie Thompson, CT
I have noticed that, as a people, we are far less willing to make eye contact, even with people we know well. When I was a kid, I was told that it is imposable to hold eye contact when I lied. As I grew, I noticed an earnest desire to prove sincerity when involved in passionate debate to prove my point of view. Now, I see not only that a majority of people avoid eye contact but they tend to talk over each other. I have even recently had conversation when the other person said "I am going to talk over you because I want to make my point." It seems that the simultaneous reduction of trust and the increase in rudeness are connected. Thom, I like your writing, the way you carry a story and I hope you will continue to work at your craft.

I bet there are plenty of lying, conniving people who know enough to maintain eye-contact to help sell the lie they're telling. I also once was told that "That's the way people have a discussion." She was referring to interrupting people in the middle of their making a point and talking over them. I'd argue that if you can't allow someone with whom you disagree to make their point, you must not have much confidence in your own opinion.

Counseling Not Your Thing? You Got This.
Oct 13, 2016 | Perspectives
Often, one of the toughest jobs a pastor has to do is counsel others. Preaching? It's in the bag. But counseling . . . "Um . . . I'll pass," you say. Why is that? Oh, kindhearted pastors would probably offer a variety of reasons, but let's be real: With preaching, you don't really have to deal with anybody. They're faces in the pews. But with counseling, the people—and their troubles—are in your face. Congregants have problems—and they expect you to solve them.
So, you offer wisdom. And they don't like it. Sometimes they listen. But other times they don't. And when they don't, they often "reap the whirlwind," having gained even more problems . . . then you get the joy of having to deal with them—again. How frustrating.
Sometimes it's a couple, and they're fighting. He says—she says. Occasionally, couples take your advice, and their marriages are spared. Other times, you sadly witness a divorce in the church body.
But I don't have to tell you. This is what you do.
But maybe you'd rather not.
Let's face it: some pastors are drop-dead-awesome preachers, great administrators, but they hate counseling. I know one pastor (I'm a PK, so actually, I know dozens) who absolutely refuses to counsel. He'll tell anybody, with complete candor, that he has a short attention span and little patience. So, he has qualified associates on his staff who do counseling for him. He takes care of all the other pastoral responsibilities, and they counsel with parishioners. That's a great system—if you can make it work for you.
But what if your church is smaller, and you don't have staff to whom you can turn to counsel church members? Or worse, what if you really want to counsel, but you don't feel qualified?
I once heard a pastor's wife say she didn't feel qualified because she didn't have a "testimony." She'd never used alcohol or drugs, didn't have any "real" sins on her record, so how could she help anyone? she wondered. Of course, her true testimony was God's "keeping grace"—His ability to spare people from ever indulging in grave sins in the first place. But she didn't see it that way. Her lack of past transgressions actually made her feel inferior when accompanying her husband in counseling sessions, or attempting to offer counsel herself. Some pastors feel the same way. Say, you've been married to the same wife for 30 years; how are you expected to counsel a young, divorced man? Or, growing up, you were as "pure as the driven snow," so to speak, and now you're face-to-face with someone with a drug problem, a sex addiction, or a rebellious teenager (and you only have toddlers). What do you do?
Of course, one doesn't have to have firsthand experience with every sin a congregation ever committed or every situation the members have faced in order to counsel. Dr. Phil could tell you that. Of course he hasn't done all the things he hears about in his counseling sessions. Neither has he "lived" every situation with which he comes in contact. But he is university-trained and degreed to offer counseling. Many pastors these days are also getting counseling degrees, in addition to their seminary training.
But not everyone can do that. Small-church pastors may not even be seminary-trained; my father wasn't. He certainly didn't have a counseling degree. What then?
First, we must never forget the power of God's Word. Second Timothy 3:16 says Scripture is "useful for correcting faults and teaching the right way to live" (erv). And whether or not we have walked the road of another, the Word doesn't change. What it says about sin is true for all, and the counsel it gives is for everyone. Even so, a pastor without firsthand knowledge of a particular struggle or lifestyle can still feel ill-equipped to help someone facing that struggle or trying to overcome an errant lifestyle.
One of my pastor friends has a smaller congregation; he doesn't have a lot of paid staff to turn to. But what he does have are some very mature board members/elders from various walks of life. One had been a drug addict in his younger days and can now speak with both empathy and authority to those struggling with addiction. Another was divorced as a young man, but his second marriage has been long, lasting, and happy, and he has raised good children. Still another once had a foul, violent temper but today is a model husband who long ago overcame his rage. You get the idea. These men are not ordained or degreed. But each has some past experience, which, coupled with his present spiritual maturity, qualifies him—accompanied, of course, by a pastor—to counsel individuals who are walking the same difficult road he once walked. Perhaps that is an option for you to consider: a qualified elder—accompanied by you or another staff member—offering counseling in areas where you may feel weak. Or perhaps a counselee could meet with a group of such seasoned elders, with a pastor serving as spokesperson. The Bible does say that "in an abundance of counselors there is safety" (Prov. 11:14 esv).
Of course, if none of these are options, there are always professional counselors. Where I once lived, churches of one denomination referred some parishioners to a licensed, master's-trained counselor whose husband, now retired, had planted one of the largest churches in the area. She was not only a former pastor's wife, but a mother, a grandmother, and an MSW (or NCC, or whatever the letters are). Maybe there are similar counselors where you live.
In short, if counseling has become an issue for you, know that the Lord is with you. He will give you wisdom where you lack it, even giving you the right words to say. Or, as He did for Moses, He may provide you an "Aaron" to speak for you. Either way, God is for you—and He's for your flock. Ask; seek; knock. He will show you the best way to handle the unique task of counseling.

SOMEONE PLEASE GET FRESH WITH ME NOW!
first thought is always FARMER'S MARKET!
if they took some tips from the city slickers!
to slowly fail and then finally close. Somebody local needs to figure this out.
they seem to fetch high prices!
I said PORK jerky and trust me... it's delicious!
of farm stands that bring the most amazing cheeses to Union Square every weekend. Every single one seems tastier than the one before. Not only beautiful to look at, they are amazing to consume. What about Lewistown?! We've certainly got cows, goats, and even Lhamas. So why can't someone local milk the opportunity and mold this into a chance to build a new cash cow? Get moooooooving!
In the end, the most popular booths at Union Square give out free samples. You can walk through the market and devour a meal bite by bite, booth by booth. While I have no desire to dig into a common bowl, it's obvious that hundreds are willing. One thing is certain, samples drive sales! Come on Lewistown, give, give, give! If only Mrs. "N" (left) would open up a jar of her Chokecherry jam, her apron pockets would overflow with cash!
Can't wait to ride the open range!

that one of us was being hunted.
he was one hundred percent MAN!!
After dinner, I noticed Gilbert was at the bar sipping a cognac. So, I insisted "T" and I have an after dinner drink! The resulting repartee was like watching the mating rituals of a rare bird, Viva la finesse Francais!
that I had a very beautiful wife.
we were best friends not lovers.
beautiful she thought Jerry was.
are pretty but I prefer... brunettes."
Our chat continued until "T" announced she was going home to her husband and two boys. Gilbert gallantly kissed her hand and bid us adieu. While nothing ever happened, neither of us will ever forget that electrical night.

For people running online stores, event management businesses, travel websites as well as any other sites in which online transactions take place, a payment gateway is essential. Often people confuse payment gateways with payment gateway service providers. Take an example of PayPal. PayPal is a payment gateway service provider whereas a payment gateway is a location on your website from when a transaction can take place.
You can think of it as a cashier's desk. The only difference between it and a cashier's counter is that you need not be present because the website can handle the payment on your behalf.
Given the importance of the transactions taking place on your website, you must take caution to ensure that things run smoothly. There are various types of payment gateway integration systems in the market, and they all have their good and bad sides. Knowing the features of each will enable you to make a decision that will protect the interests of your business.
This system is also known as the offsite payment, and it is a smooth integration mode. With this system, you integrate the payment gateway as an external service such that when a customer clicks on the 'buy' option, they get redirected to a payment gateway service provider such as PayU. From the service provider's site, they are then able to complete the transaction in a secure environment. The system is the simplest way to integrate a payment gateway to your site.
With the simple checkout system, you do not need to make your website PCI compliant which reduces the amount of hassle required to set up a payment mode. You also do away with the task of maintaining a payment gateway as you are outsourcing the services. Best of all, you will not have any security concerns as the payment gateway service providers will take care of this.
Your clients will have to leave your site to make the payment. Many people have security concerns when it comes to money issues, and this may make them back out of the process. Another obstacle that you will face is that network errors can lead to failures in redirection to your site on completion of payment. This system is also prone to eavesdropping.
It works best for small firms, subscriptions, and other small-sized transactions.
This integration system, also known as the transparent redirect, does not handle any customer information on your website. Instead, a form accepts the information and details of the payment on your server and forwards them to a secure payment gateway where the final transaction takes place.
In this system, you also get to do away with PCI compliance, making your transactions a breeze. You also get to maintain your branding.
What are the disadvantages to this mode?
As is the case with the simple checkout system, this system is vulnerable to external interference and is not entirely secure.
It works best in a case where you wish to enhance your branding.
This system also goes by the name 'onsite payment,' and it allows you to handle transactions on your site. However, the final process gets dealt with by a payment gateway service provider. It works by displaying the forms on your site while the provider works on data collection, submission of information as well as responding to users.
The user, however, will not be aware of the service provider and this gives you an avenue to customize the receipt page.
You are in a position to maintain data sensitive to your customers, and you can use the system as an opportunity to work on your branding.
With this mode, PCI compliance is a must. In a case where you lack one, you can make do with an SSL certificate. You also have to work at improving your security as you will be handling sensitive information.
It works best for mid-sized to large companies which have a reliable brand.
With this system, you can host a secure payment form on your website and forward transactions to a payment gateway through the use of an end-to-end SSL connection. Shopping cart developers use this system to give the site owner control over each phase of the transaction.
Based on your branding levels, size of your business and need for control over the transactions, you will decide on the best payment system integration for you.

Ok, so I'm about to put something that's cheaper than the stamps and envelopes for the whole order onto the most delicate portion of my DSLR, and not only expect no damage to result, but expect it to clean as well as a cleaning system costing 15 times as much ? Well, when it's put like that it all seems rather far fetched doesn't it ?
The system is identical to the bigger Lenspen, but with a much smaller triangular head that is totally flat, rather than concave, and the sponge in the end cap is rather longer although that's the end of the physical differences. To be fair, I also bought a Kenro Hurricane dual valve blower at the same time as the pens (so it's only 7 times cheaper than the brushes), as the recommended cleaning instructions suggest not using the Sensor Klear brush on the CCD but to reserve that for the chamber and mirror.
Using the blower first didn't really change the dirt on my sensor: I had previously tried an Arctic Butterfly a couple of weeks ago (thanks Ben), and whilst it had removed at least half of the dirt, the remaining portion had merely been redistributed so I was looking at a wet cleaner to get the last of the marks off. The first pass of the pen managed to create a smudge in the very centre of the image area that ran for half the height of the screen… Not a good start. Back to the blower, and another pass with the pen didn't make any difference.
After that, I paused for a while, and in doing so put the lid back on the pen. In hindsight, I think it's important to put the cap back (with a quarter turn) much more frequently when cleaning the sensor compared with a lens or filter, and to keep the head as flat as possible relative to the sensor. The third pass did the trick, and after a final blow to make sure the last of the particles were removed I had a nicely clean image at f/32. There are still a couple of spots, but they're pale grey rather than black at f/32, and given that I normally shoot no lower than f/16 I'm happy with that level of cleaning: I'd rather do some retouch (and batch apply it to a whole day of images) than risk scratching anything.
So is the current CCD cleaning ethos wrong ? Well, I have no idea: I've only used the pen three times, and have not taken anything except test shots in order to prove that the dust spots have been reduced. I am, however, beginning to think that the 'delicate and easily damaged' line is pretty much the same as the warning about re-flashing BIOS images: if you're careful then there's no need for excessive panic, and having read of some of the things people have been using (off the shelf makeup brushes; cotton buds; etc.) then this pen is really rather tame.
I may also end up with a wet cleaning kit at some stage – the instructions for the pen do say that stubborn marks may require that, as degrees of delicacy aside, scrubbing with anything at a stubborn spot will cause permanent damage, but for the moment I'll happily use this pen and have no problems at all if I need to discard it 6 or even 3 months from now. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 329 |

The GenPlex™ HID System (Applied Biosystems - AB) offers typing of 48 of the 52 SNPforID SNPs and amelogenin. Previous studies have shown a high reproducibility of the GenPlex™ HID System using 250-500pg DNA of good quality. An international exercise was performed by 14 laboratories (9 in Europe and 5 in the US) in order to test the robustness and reliability of the GenPlex™ HID System on forensic samples. Three samples with partly degraded DNA and 10 samples with low amounts of DNA were analyzed in duplicates using various amounts of DNA. In order to compare the performance of the GenPlex™ HID System with the most commonly used STR kits, 500pg of partly degraded DNA from three samples was typed by the laboratories using one or more STR kits. The median SNP typing success rate was 92.3% with 500pg of partly degraded DNA. Three of the fourteen laboratories counted for more than two thirds of the locus dropouts. The median percentage of discrepant results was 0.2% with 500pg degraded DNA. An increasing percentage of locus dropouts and discrepant results were observed when lower amounts of DNA were used. Different success rates were observed for the various SNPs. The rs763869 SNP was the least successful. With the exception of the MiniFiler™ kit (AB), GenPlex™ HID performed better than five other tested STR kits. When partly degraded DNA was analyzed, GenPlex™ HID showed a very low mean mach probability, while all STR kits except MiniFiler™ had very limited discriminatory power. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 331 |

Q: Does F# have the ternary ?: operator? I'm learning F# coming from C# and I've just tried compiling an expression like
let y = Seq.groupBy (fun x -> (x < p ? -1 : x == p ? 0: 1))
but see 'unexpected integer literal in expression'. Does F# have a ternary operator? If not, what should I use instead?
A: If you want to save the typing you can define your own
let (?=) (q: bool) (yes: 'a, no: 'a) = if q then yes else no
Note that you can't use : in operators so ?= is the nearest you can get.
Usage: maybe ?= ("true", "false")
A: Yes, it's called if .. then .. else
In fact in F# everything is an expression, even an if .. then .. else block.
In C# var x = true ? 0 : 1;
In F# let x = if true then 0 else 1
So in your case:
let y = Seq.groupBy (fun x -> if x < p then -1 else if x = p then 0 else 1)
you can shorten it a bit with elif
let y = Seq.groupBy (fun x -> if x < p then -1 elif x = p then 0 else 1)
Another option to consider in F# specially when you have more than 2 cases is pattern matching:
let f p x =
match x with
| x when x < p -> -1
| x when x = p -> 0
| _ -> 1
let y = Seq.groupBy (f p)
But in your particular case I would use the if .. then .. elif .. then.
Finally note that the test-equality operator is = not == as in C#.
A: You can also implement this using pattern matching with function using guards:
let y = Seq.groupBy (function |x when x < p -> -1
|x when x = p -> 0
|_ -> 1)
Pattern matches may seem longer ternary operator but they are much easier to read when logic gets more complex.
A: For more examples of C# expressions and statements in F# you can refer to this page. For example:
Ternary operator
C# has the ternary operator "?:" for conditional expressions:
condition ? trueVal : falseVal
F# has the same operator, but its name is if-then-else:
if condition then trueVal else falseVal
(Note that "if" is used much less frequently in F# than in C#; in F#, many conditionalexpressions are done via pattern-matching rather than if-then-else.)
Switch statement
C# has a switch statement. It looks something like this:
switch (x)
{
case 1:
SomeCode();
break;
default:
SomeCode();
break;
}
In F#, this is just one of many things that pattern matching expresses more succinctly:
match x with
| 1 -> SomeCode()
| _ -> SomeCode() // _ is a 'catch all' default

The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
Ghosts were once less disagreeable on the big screen than they are today. Compare the specter in, say, Paranormal Activity, with the spook in Joseph L. Mankiewicz's The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947; 7 pm). He's the sexy, pipe-smoking, bearded sea captain (Rex Harrison), who proves erotically titillating to the widow (Gene Tierney), when she moves into the quaint cottage he haunts. This bittersweet charmer is screening at the Harvard Film Archive with Mankiewicz's debut feature, the rarely screened Dragonwyck (1946; 9:15 pm), which also stars Tierney, in this case as a farm girl wooed by a land baron played by Vincent Price, who would probably have made a creepier ghost than Rex Harrison. It screens on Friday, August 19 in the Carpenter Center, 24 Quincy St, Cambridge | $9; $7 students, seniors | 617.495.4700 or hcl.harvard.edu/hfa.

De Orthodoxe Partij (Spaans: Partido Ortodoxo, ook wel Partido del Pueblo Cubano genoemd) was een Cubaanse politieke partij die in 1947 door de politicus Eduardo Chibás werd opgericht. In 1959 werd de partij opgeheven.
De Orthodoxe Partij verzette zich tegen Amerikaans imperialisme op het eiland, pleitte voor een geheel onafhankelijke economie en sociale hervormingen. Tijdens de algemene verkiezingen van 1948 eindigde de partij als derde. De partij won vier zetels in het Huis van Afgevaardigden. Bij de verkiezingen van 1952 won Chibás' neef Roberto Agramonte, maar Fulgencio Batista pleegde een staatsgreep nog voordat de winnaar van de vrije verkiezingen bekend werd gemaakt.
Voordat de jonge advocaat Fidel Castro zich om praktische redenen bekeerde tot het communisme en de Communistische Partij van Cuba oprichtte, was hij actief lid van de Orthodoxe Partij. Hij deed in 1952 mee aan de parlementsverkiezingen. Na de staatsgreep van Batista koos hij voor een andere weg dan de democratie om de dictator te verdrijven.

Why Did Han Fake His Death?
Answred by. Pete Gatchell
In Golf, Updates
Han tragically died at the end of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift/Fast & Furious 6, but fans finally received justice for Han when he returned, alive and well, in F9. As it turns out, his death was a ruse meant to keep him hidden away for good reason.
Then How did Han survive the accident? There's been one question that's been plaguing fans' minds since they first realised Sung Kang is returning as Han in Fast 9. How did Han survive? … It turns out that Han faked the crash with help from Mr Nobody in order to get him out of harm's way. They'd met through Gisele who had also been working for him beforehand.
Furthermore, Why does Han eat?
According to Fast & Furious canon, Han's penchant for munching stems from his past as a chain smoker. His deceased girlfriend, Giselle (Gal Gadot) explains that to help him permanently curb this bad habit, Han constantly needed to have something for his hands to do.
Is Mr Nobody alive in F9? Mr. Nobody is alive. He has to be. In any case, none of the other characters seem to be too concerned about it.

Han faked his death and never alerted Dom or his friends about his whereabouts in order to steal a device (Project Aries) that's at the center of "F9." Instead, Han stumbled upon a young girl, Elle, connected to the device and had to protect her for the safety of the world.

In F9 we learn that it wasn't Takaski who killed Han in Tokyo Drift, nor was it Deckard Shaw in Fast and Furious 6 and Furious 7 because Han isn't actually dead. … While at the compound, the crew learn that Han is actually alive and was working with Mr. Nobody since they saw him last.
However, it turns out Han helped faked his own death with the help of Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell), proving he was in on the plan the entire time. With Tokyo Drift taking place after Fast & Furious 6, Han ended up in Japan after making plans to stay in the country with Gisele Yashar (Gal Gadot) before her tragic death.
Sung Kang is returning as Han in F9, and he's reflecting on Tokyo Drift 15 years after it first came out. He talks about what make Tokyo Drift a fan favorite, Han's origin story as a character and why Han is always eating chips.
Yet he then reappears in the next three Fast and Furious movies, which were set before Tokyo Drift. The circumstances of his death were clarified in Fast & Furious 6. Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw killed Han.
"The Fast & the Furious" franchise nearly went straight to DVD after the third film, "Tokyo Drift." The studio turned to Vin Diesel to help reboot the franchise starting with the fourth film. In exchange, Diesel received the rights to his "Riddick" franchise.
Fast & Furious 9 post-credit scene: Explained
The credit scene then features a man in a grey hoodie training with a "human punching bag," which is literally a human inside the bag. The man turns out to be Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw from Hobbs & Shaw, Furious 7, and The Fate of the Furious.

However, F9 reveals that Han never died during that race. Instead, he faked his death with the help of Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell). … Nobody arranged his staged death to make the world believe he — the last possible connection to Elle, secretly the key to activating the device — had perished.
Han was then retconned to have died in Tokyo Drift's conclusion at the hands of Shaw's vengeful brother Deckard (Jason Statham). However, F9 reveals that Han never died during that race. Instead, he faked his death with the help of Mr. … He plopped Han in her place, giving the bereaved man a new purpose in life.
Furious 7 (2015) would later reveal that the race between Dom (Vin Diesel) and Sean (Lucas Black) was won by Dom.

Nobody accompanies Dominic and Brian O'Conner to the warehouse where Deckard was staying. Not long after their arrival, they were ambushed by the surprise arrival of Jakande and his men, who've allied themselves with Deckard. While fighting Deckard and Jakande, Sheppard is killed and Mr. Nobody is shot.
At the end of 2006's "Tokyo Drift," Han was presumed dead after his Mazda RX7 was hit by a Mercedes and his car subsequently exploded in a fiery rage. … He traveled to Japan in order to get revenge on Han for putting his little brother, Owen Shaw (the villain of "Fast 6"), into a coma.
He talks about what make Tokyo Drift a fan favorite, Han's origin story as a character and why Han is always eating chips.
And let's not forget — Better Luck Tomorrow is unofficially part of the Fast & Furious universe. To many, it's considered a prequel to the first Fast & Furious movie which debuted in 2001.
So, while Tokyo Drift was the third film released in the franchise, the correct chronological order of the films is (deep breath): The Fast and the Furious, 2, Fast 2 Furious, Fast & Furious, Fast Five, Fast & Furious 6, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Furious 7, Fate of the Furious, and F9: The Fast Saga or 1, …
Paul Walker wasn't asked to return because the studio felt he was too old. The first draft of the script featured the return of Diesel's character, Dominic Toretto. This is only Fast and the Furious film not to star Paul Walker (prior to his death).
The 'Fast and Furious' star decided that eating snacks would be a better character trait for Han. After watching a bunch of older films that also featured "cool" characters similar to Han, Kang realized they all had one habit in common. He knew instantly that Han would have to be a snacker.

We awoke yesterday to particularly unpleasant weather, but we had to get up early and brave the snow being driven into our faces on the icy wind and the slippy conditions underfoot. I emptied the dogs and then we set off for the market as we were down to onions, shrivelled potatoes and half a leek. We knew we'd have to go early or, as Kevin Too said, they'd have packed up and gone home. The market, fortunately, turned out to be indoors and consisted entirely of produce, with fabulous vegetable stalls – amazingly the first decent market we've come across (except Metz, but that's permanent and doesn't count), all the others, contrary to my expectations, have been pretty manky and rather dismal affairs.
We returned to the boat laden with wonderful veggies, cold meats, pates, fish and meat (although we resisted the oysters – they do love them here).
No messing about, I dumped the perishables in the fridge whilst G cleared the car of snow and we set off to Lidl for dairy, cat food, beer and wine and home again before the witching hour of 12.00! Unheard of. I even had time to muck out and clean the fridge and root out those UMOs (Unidentified Mouldering Objects), whilst G made lunch, and walk the dogs again and still be in time to watch the world bowls semi-finals – a sport we were both passionate about when we were static landlubbers.
Now I have a confession to make. We are moored opposite the station and at the station is a big 'M' sign, so we had a McDonald's for supper. It must be at least 4 years since I've had one and the French version is identical to those I remember – the menu board looks a tad different though and, 'to go' is replaced by, 'emporter'. The chips were nice and so was not having to cook or wash-up.
G was making Yorkshire pud to go with the lovely beef tournedos that we bought at the market when a lady knocked to say she was putting the water on for an hour. That was nice and so was the fact that I understood what she said (for once). So we're full of water and delicious provisions and the weather can do what it likes now, providing we can get through the stoppage and pick up the No Problems at Vitry on the 9th February, but we can always get them by car.

One of the questions I'm asked most frequently is how the special section is determined for each issue of the Journal. The short answer is-it emerges. Manuscripts on an amazingly wide variety of topics are submitted for review. Underlying that variety, however, is the "deep structure" of Extension work that connects us. This issue features a special section on approaches to economic development.
Volunteer activities give older adults opportunities to share their experience, wisdom, and skills with youth, adults, and other older adults. The long-held notion that older people lack interest and willingness to serve as volunteers has changed. Today, older adults are actively sought to serve as volunteers.
A 1987 study of Ohio Cooperative Extension Service surveyed Extension clientele who had been involved in a variety of Extension programs. Five factors emerged from the principal-component factor analysis of responses to items related to participation. They were: low anticipated difficulties with arrangements, high commitments to the Extension organization, anticipated positive social involvement, anticipated high quality of the information, and possession of high internal motivation to learn.

Consumers need to know how to manage their credit. Yet, many barriers keep people from participating in consumer credit classes. These barriers include lack of time and money, inconvenient scheduling or location of classes, and even lack of confidence. To meet the educational need while also addressing barriers to participation, University of Wisconsin-Extension faculty developed Using Credit Wisely, an audio- and print-based consumer credit distance education program.

How much farmers use their computers is influenced by many factors. The ways in which a person with unique attitudes and preferences goes about learning the computer may be a particularly powerful influence. If farmers don't learn successfully, they can't efficiently use computers. Moreover, if the learning methods used in the task are distasteful, the chances of upgrading skill beyond a rudimentary level dwindle.
With the increasing dependence on local organizations for the provision of housing services, Extension professionals have an important opportunity to use their knowledge and skills to benefit their communities. This poses a challenge not only to individual organizations and Extension units, but to the whole Extension System. To meet this challenge, the system needs to re-examine how it can fulfill its mission and develop a flexibility to reach down into American communities to help them respond to the challenges they face in the '90s.

This article outlines a technique to estimate regional economic impacts of production-oriented Extension programs. The methodology is a valuable tool to use in the effective allocation of scarce Extension resources. Extension programs can focus on economic development objectives. Understanding regional economic structure is an important part of analyzing the options available to Extension planners. This understanding is fundamental to developing programs addressing unemployment, underemployment, or substandard per capita incomes.
Fish farming, or aquaculture, has strong potential to become one of America's growth industries in the coming decades. It offers Extension an opportunity to play a leading role in the development and dissemination of much-needed, localized technology. For Extension, aquaculture demonstration can mean a challenging new program of applied research and teaching that brings new faces into the ranks of Extension clientele.
A county-based marketing program, which includes a "Sonoma County Select" seal, has recently been created to increase consumer demand for these products by enhancing awareness of the great diversity and quality of the county's agricultural products. Extension provided Sonoma County's agricultural community with an opportunity to work together. Similar cooperative marketing programs could be successful in other areas of the county.

In response to a reduction in the number of regional textile and apparel management specialists serving Missouri communities, the Extension Textile and Apparel Management Program was redirected to provide support primarily to apparel manufacturers and retailers. An open state specialist position was filled in the Spring of 1991 to lead the newly established Missouri Textile and Apparel Center (MO-TAC). The mission of MO-TAC is to positively affect Missouri's economy by helping manufacturers and retailers of apparel and sewn products improve their competitive position.
A multicultural organization is built on both diversity and pluralism. The emphasis on diversity isn't a repackaged version of Extension's Civil Rights programs. There's much talk about diversity throughout the system. Now is the time to convert talk to action.
...all actors in the educational arena will have to play their roles well, from those above the Extension director or administrator level to agents on the firing line...Those setting policy and making decisions about Extension will also reflect the diversity of our nation.
While it's convenient to wall ourselves off from the "thems" who have or cause problems elsewhere, the reality is that the problems are everywhere that racism, intolerance, and negative attitudes toward anyone different are allowed to flourish. I'm proud of the Cooperative Extension System for explicitly tackling diversity.
An international perspective helps us understand and appreciate the present institutional re-evaluation and evolution occurring in the U.S. Cooperative Extension System. As this brief introduction suggests, the reasons underlying the critical attack on financing the system aren't only a national phenomenon, but part of larger forces for change operating internationally.
The rapid expansion of technical contracts in China reflects fundamental changes in the rural economic system. Agricultural technical contracts likely will accelerate the spread of technology, boost output, and change supply and demand conditions in China, which will affect U.S. agricultural trade.
Knowledge of the success of a program in agriculture should enable agricultural policy makers and government agencies to strengthen or re-adjust existing programs to enhance greater program efficiency. The primary purpose of this study was to determine the level of effectiveness of extension agents in Nigeria with respect to selected abilities.
Educating the Individual or the Collective?
Most of Extension's educational efforts since World War II have centered on changing individuals. Extension's current focus on issues-based programming is forcing a re-examination of this approach and the consideration of additional options. The expert-to-individual model of education can benefit the person who interacts with the expert, but Extension doesn't have the resources to use that model everywhere a need exists.
The young people participated in a developmental process they can use again and again in their clubs, schools, and communities on any problem or issue. They shared some creative, silly, brave, new, harebrained, brilliant ideas with the adults in the group to create something new and valuable. Both the process and the report have implications for all of Extension's National Initiatives-not just Youth at Risk.
"Lower Your Cholesterol" helps the consumer understand the nature and digestion of fats/cholesterol in the diet. The Mr. Oilbee character emphasizes an increase in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables accompanied by a decrease in total dietary fat. Examples of teaspoons of fat in foods helped participants visualize adding fat in the daily diet. The program makes learning fun by adding some humor to a serious subject. Humor revitalizes the attention span, increases subject-matter retention, promotes comprehension, reduces anxiety, and enhances the effectiveness of Extension teaching.
...agents were able to examine the 19 leadership competencies and some of the data reported in the study. It generated discussion among staff from different disciplines and helped them evaluate their leadership education work. This simple activity is one way for professionals throughout the system to review the impact study report and evaluate the way they spend time working with leadership education.
The rural elderly are at great nutritional risk because of poor economic and social conditions, inadequate services, and the presence of at-risk subgroups, such as widows and people in poor health. Peer NETWORK, an acronym for Peer Nutrition Education Training with Older Resource Knowhow, was developed by Iowa Extension to address the needs of homebound elderly.
The significant and persistent loss of 4-H Club members in the teen years suggests the 4-H incentive system may not be effective. The purpose of my study was to explore the motivational characteristics of former 4-H members in relation to their length of time and success in the program.
Because of the small size of the northeastern states and the similarity of forest conditions and ownership patterns, there are often common regional forest resource issues. To further explore the opportunities for regional cooperation, a study using the Delphi technique was initiated in 1989.
Single-parent households have increased in both rural and urban areas. Because these households have one less person to handle resource management than two-parent households, using recommended time and money management practices may be the only way to stretch limited resources. This study examined differences in frequency of resource (time and money) management practices in the two household types.

Decalogue & Covenant – Does God Need Individuals Immediately to Obey the Regulation of Moses?
The brief reply is not any: God intends for everybody on this planet to undergo Christ beneath the New Covenant, which doesn't embrace the Regulation of Moses, although it shares with Moses basic ethical values as a result of each are primarily based on the unchanging character of God Himself (examine Leviticus 19:1-2 with Matthew 5:48 and Luke 6:36). To go deeper than the floor, we now have to take a look at what Jeremiah, Jesus, Paul, and the writer of Hebrews say in regards to the previous and new covenants.Prophecy of the New CovenantAbout 600 years earlier than Christ, the prophet Jeremiah predicted the brand new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34). He mentioned the brand new covenant could be totally different than the previous (specified because the one God made with the homes of Israel and Judah when he introduced them out of Egypt–definitely referring to the Mosaic Covenant). This time, the legal guidelines could be written on the folks's hearts, all of them will know the LORD, and He'll utterly forgive them. The New Testomony guide of Hebrews says that is the covenant Christ launched (Hebrews 8:7-13 and 10:15-18, on which extra is alleged under).Authentic topics of the Regulation of MosesAccording to the Hebrew Scriptures (what Christians name the Previous Testomony), the Regulation of Moses constituted the covenant God made with the Israelites. Its ethical code, priesthood, festivals and different particular days, and sacrificial system had been all designed for the Hebrew nation. Important to the covenant the Israelites made with God was their settlement to obey the stipulations of the Regulation of Moses and to change into the objects of its blessings in the event that they obeyed and its curses in the event that they disobeyed. As initially delivered, no different nation was known as upon or anticipated to maintain the Regulation of Moses. In response to Jewish custom, the remainder of the nations of the world had been nonetheless beneath the covenant God made with Noah.What change, if any, happened when the New Covenant got here alongside? How did it have an effect on the appliance of the Previous? Did it take what make common what as soon as utilized solely to the Israelites? Or did it nullify the Previous Covenant in order that it not utilized even for the nation of Israel?Jesus' educating in regards to the Regulation of MosesAccording to Galatians 4:4, Jesus was "born under the Law," which apparently implies that He was sure to obey the Regulation's commandments and ordinances. As an Israelite, He was simply as obligated to maintain the Regulation as each different Israelite. Within the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:17-18), He denies that His function is to "abolish" the Regulation and the Prophets. The Greek phrase translated "abolish" (kataluo) is "destroy" with an intensifying prepositional prefix, which means "utterly destroy." Slightly, He says, His function is to meet the Regulation, and He says heaven and earth would sooner disappear than the Regulation, till all the pieces is fulfilled. He says that the individual breaking or educating others to interrupt the least of the commandments will likely be known as least within the kingdom of heaven, whereas those that apply and educate its commandments will likely be known as nice within the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:19).His mission in fulfilling the Regulation appears to have three elements. First, He calls on His disciples to maintain the Regulation much more strictly than the Pharisees and lecturers of the legislation, probably the most scrupulous non secular observers of His time (Matt. 5:20). Within the verses that comply with (the remainder of the Sermon on the Mount — Matthew 5:21-7:27), Jesus reveals what He means: giving to God the obedience of 1's coronary heart, not only one's actions. Fulfilling the Regulation then, on this first sense, means explaining it in its fullest which means. Jesus taught the Regulation of Moses, however He additionally stored it completely. He fulfilled it, not solely by giving its full which means, however by obeying it absolutely Himself. On this approach qualifying to change into our excellent sin providing (see John 8:29, 46; Acts 10:38; Hebrews 3:2,6; 4:15; 1 Peter 1:19; 2:22; 1 John 2:2).This leads us to the third half: when God accepts Christ as our substitute, His righteousness turns into ours (1 Corinthians 1:30; 2 Corinthians 5:21), which incorporates His excellent obedience of the Regulation. As a result of He stands in our place earlier than the throne of God, we who've absolutely dedicated ourselves to Him–heart, thoughts, soul, and strength–are thought to be absolutely obedient beneath the Regulation (Romans 8:3-4; 13:10).But even whereas upholding the Regulation, Jesus claims to have an authority above the Regulation, as when He proclaimed that the Son of Man (an oblique reference to Himself) is Lord of the Sabbath (see Mark 2:23-28; parallels in Matthews 12:1-8; Luke 6:1-5). The examples He provides verify that He sees His mission to hunt and save the misplaced as claiming a better precedence than the maintaining of the Sabbath. He factors out the irony of those that used the Sabbath to plot His homicide whereas accusing Him of breaking the Sabbath to heal a person (Mark 3:1-6; parallels in Matthew 12:9-14; Luke 6:6-11). On one other event (Mark 7:1-23; parallel in Matthew 15:1-20), He notes that concern for inside purity ought to declare a better precedence than concern for ritual cleanness, and the gospel author observes, "In saying this, he proclaimed all foods clean" (Mark 7:19).On the Final Supper, Jesus tells his apostles that wine represents the blood He's about to shed. In Mark 14:24, He calls it "the blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many." (Matthew 26:28 provides "for the forgiveness of sins," and Luke's wording is "the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you" (Luke 22:20; examine 1 Corinthians 11:25). This assertion of Jesus is an apparent reference again to the second when Moses mentioned, "This is the blood of the covenant" (Exod. 24:8) throughout a ceremony confirming the Mosaic Covenant. Jesus says His personal blood is what institutes and confirms the New Covenant.Jesus additionally demonstrates an openness to Gentiles just about distinctive among the many Jews of His time. He praises the religion of a Gentile as being better than any in all of Israel (Matthew 8:10; parallel in Luke 7:9). He likewise praises the sturdy religion of a Gentile girl (Mark 7:24-30; parallel in Matt. 15:21-28). He predicts the acceptance of Gentiles into God's kingdom, even on the expense of the Jews (Matthew 8:11-12 and in parabolic kind, Luke 14:23-24; 20:16; John 10:16). Though He beforehand restricted His disciples' proclamation to "the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matthew 10:6), after His resurrection, He instructions them to evangelise to all nations and to all creation (Matthew 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-16; Luke 24:46-47; Acts 1:8). Jesus tells His apostles to require of their converts religion, repentance, baptism, and persevering with obedience, however makes no point out of circumcision as a situation of discipleship or salvation.God led the apostles to a brand new understandingIn fulfilling Christ's fee, the apostles first proclaim the gospel solely to Jews and Gentile converts to Judaism (known as "proselytes"). Solely by a sequence of miracles does God persuade Peter to share the Good Information with a Roman centurion named Cornelius (learn Acts 10:1-48). When Peter defends his actions to the opposite believers again in Jerusalem, they're satisfied that "God has granted even the Gentiles repentance unto life" (Acts 11:18).After this, Christians begin evangelizing the Gentiles (Acts 11:19-21), particularly Saul of Tarsus (later known as Paul) and his coworker Barnabas (Acts 13 – 14) on what is called the First Missionary Journey. Their success among the many pagans causes some Jewish Christians to demand that all the Gentile converts be circumcised and required to maintain the Regulation of Moses. Paul and Barnabas deny that this be required, and the talk turns into so heated {that a} convention is known as of the apostles and Jerusalem elders (Acts 15:1-18). The convention confirms the educating of Paul and Barnabas, requiring solely that Gentile converts observe a number of guidelines that can make their fellowship with Jewish believers much less contentious (Acts 15:19-31).Although many Jewish Christians continued to look at the Regulation even after this (see Acts 21:20), the Gentiles weren't required to be circumcised (see Galatians 2:3-5), since Gentiles in addition to Jews discover acceptance earlier than God by grace by way of religion, not by works of the Regulation (Acts 15:9, 11; Galatians 2:16). In different phrases, they may come to Christ immediately, with out first changing into converts to Judaism. The apostles acknowledged that each these whose flesh is circumcised and people whose flesh is just not can have a circumcision of coronary heart (Romans 2:25-29; 4:9-17; Colossians 2:11-13). That is what counts to God (Galatians 6:12-16); even the Regulation and Prophets acknowledged coronary heart circumcision as extra vital (see Deuteronomy 10:16; 30:6; Jeremiah 4:4; 9:25).Accepting uncircumcised Gentiles into the fellowship of the redeemed, nonetheless, was a basic departure from the Mosaic Covenant, which required circumcision on ache of excommunication (persevering with what had been instituted within the covenant with Abraham, Gen. 17:13-14 — see Exodus 12:48-49, Leviticus 12:3, and Joshua 5:2-8). In the course of the interval mirrored within the second half of the Ebook of Acts, a transition of the covenants was happening, during which apply was lagging behind educating. The New Covenant had begun, however many had been nonetheless clinging to the Previous.The change course of seemingly paralleled what occurs at the moment with regard to the adoption of latest expertise. Some had been early adopters who led the best way in adopting the change, comparable to those that already had been abandoning bodily circumcision and Jewish customs (see Acts 21:21). Into this group we should always most likely put Stephen and later Paul, who had been on the main ("bleeding"?) edge. Others, comparable to Peter and John, had been middle-of-the-road: they acknowledged the change however didn't push it like Paul did. Nonetheless others had been late adopters, like James the Elder (half-brother of Jesus), although it might be that James remained on this group solely to assist the others alongside (Acts 15:12-21 and 21:22-26; but see Galatians 2:12).Paul's educating in regards to the Regulation of MosesAs one who maybe noticed the change extra clearly than others, Paul sought to elucidate the transition in as forceful a approach because the scruples of his Jewish fellow-Christians would permit. If he had not struggled with this concern, his teachings could have been extra express. Nonetheless, he actually was plain sufficient for us to know a change within the covenants was underway. The next are among the clearest passages, taken in chronological order.In Galatians, maybe the earliest of Paul's letters (c. 50 CE), Paul says the legislation was our "pedagogue to lead us to Christ" (Galatians 3:24). In Greek tradition, the pedagogue was a household slave assigned the duty of getting the kid to and from faculty every day. He was additionally anticipated to impart sensible ethical ideas that will assist the kid mature. Paul says the Regulation had for us an identical perform: making ready us for the approaching of the Messiah. Within the subsequent verse, Paul provides, "Now that faith [i.e., the object of our faith] has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law" (Galatians 3:25). On this metaphor, Paul footage the connection between the Regulation and the Christ as a cooperative one. The Regulation performs its perform, accomplishes its purpose, after which steps apart.Within the subsequent chapter of Galatians, Paul turns up the warmth. He compares the 2 covenants, the Mosaic Covenant and the New Covenant, to the connection between Hagar and Sarah (see Genesis chapter 16 and 21:8-21). He depicts a stormy relationship between the kids of the 2 covenants: "The son born in the ordinary way [representing the unbelieving Jews] persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit [representing the Christians]. It is the same now." Then Paul unleashes a thunderbolt: "But what does the Scripture say? 'Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son.'" For the reason that slave girl represents the Mosaic covenant, Paul is utilizing the quoted verse, Genesis 21:10, to say, "Get rid of the Mosaic covenant and its adherents [the Jews who have rejected Jesus as Messiah], for the ['children' of the Mosaic covenant] will never share in the inheritance with the [Christians, the 'children' of the New Covenant]."Paul wrote First Corinthians in about 55 CE. In chapter 9 he describes his willingness to be "all things to all men" for the sake of saving a few of them. Specifically, he says, "To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law" (verses 20 and 21).In Second Corinthians, written round 55 CE, in chapter 3, Paul compares the previous and new covenants by recalling the shining face of Moses (see Exodus 34:29-35). The Previous Covenant he calls letters written on tablets of stone and "the letter" and the ministry of demise and of condemnation. Against this, he describes the New Covenant as written on tablets of human hearts and "the Spirit" and the ministry of righteousness" (verses 3, 6-9). Paul compares the Old Covenant to the radiance on the face of Moses, which was glorious at first and then faded away. In contrast, under the New Covenant, we experience an ever-increasing glory, which comes from our God (verses 9-18). At the time Paul wrote Second Corinthians, then, the Law, represented by the radiance, was fading away.Paul wrote Romans around the year 57 CE. In chapter 7, verses 1-6, Paul pictures the Christian as a woman and the Law as her husband. The couple fails to have any children, and after the husband's death, the widow marries a new husband, who symbolizes Christ. With her new husband, the woman has a baby, which apparently represents a righteous heart and life (the "fruit to God" of verse 4). Paul does not directly say that the Law has died, only that she is bound to her husband as long as he is alive and is released from her ties to him when he dies. He then speaks of her release but carefully avoids saying that the Law has died, only that she died to the Law.This reflects the situation at the time Romans was written. Even though the New Covenant had already been in force for 25 years (ever since the resurrection of Christ and the outpouring of the Spirit on that first post-resurrection Day of Pentecost), people, even Christian Jews, were still clinging to the Law–offering sacrifices, paying tithes, keeping festivals, obeying the kosher laws, circumcising their sons. Yet the Law was dead. Not only was it dead, but it had failed to produce "fruit to God" in the body of the believer. To remain married to a corpse is a grotesque situation Paul does not linger to contemplate. He merely says, "We've been launched from the legislation in order that we serve within the new approach of the Spirit, not within the previous approach of the written code" (Romans 7:6).Paul wrote Ephesians in about the year 63 CE, some six years after Romans. In chapter 2, Paul just comes out and says that Christ united Jew and Gentile by destroying the "barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the legislation with its commandments and rules" (2:14-15). As a result, Jews and Gentiles connected to Christ are "fellow residents" and "co-members of God's family," built together as a new temple for God "during which God lives by His Spirit" (2:19-22). The verb translated "abolishing" (katergeo) means "to eliminate, dissipate, render ineffective."In Colossians, written at about the same time as Ephesians, Paul says that Christ "canceled the written code, with its rules, that was in opposition to us and that stood against us: he took it away, nailing it to the cross" (2:14). Christ's death on the cross is what canceled (exaleipho–wiped out, removed, destroyed) and took away (airo–removed, set aside) the "written code, with its rules." We know this "written code" is referring to the Law because of the verses that follow, which refer to the observances required by the Law: "Subsequently don't let anybody choose you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a spiritual pageant, a New Moon celebration or a Sabbath day. These are a shadow of the issues that had been to come back: the truth, nonetheless, is present in Christ" (Colossians 2:16-17). Because Christ's death canceled the Law and took it away, these regulations no longer apply.Hebrews on the Change of CovenantsNo book of the Bible more clearly teaches that the Law of Moses is no longer binding on God's followers today. In fact, that is the basic message of the Book of Hebrews, probably written shortly before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Its original readers were tempted because of persecution (see Hebrews 10:32-34) to forsake Christ and return to Judaism. The message of Hebrews is that Christ is better than Moses, better than the angels who mediated the Mosaic Covenant, better than Aaron the high priest under Moses, and offers a sacrifice infinitely better that those offered under Moses. Hebrews 8 calls up the prophecy of the New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34), concluding in verse 13: "By calling this covenant 'new,' he has made the primary one out of date; and what's out of date and growing old will quickly disappear."This prediction of the disappearance of the covenant of Moses found fulfillment when the Jewish nation rebelled against Rome in the war of 67-73 CE. (You can read about this war in the detailed, eye-witness account. The Jewish War by Flavius Josephus.) The Jewish nation lost its temple and its priesthood in that war. Afterwards, it was impossible to keep the Law of Moses. The covenant curses for the nation's disobedience, as recorded in Deuteronomy 28 and Leviticus 26, came true.Conclusion about the Law of MosesSome scholars argue that the Law of Moses continues to be valid as far as its moral code is concerned even though its temple, priesthood, and sacrificial system has ceased to exist. But there is no biblical basis for cutting up the Mosaic Covenant, throwing part of it away while trying to keep the rest of it on life support. In fact, James 2:10-11 argues for the integrity of the whole law and against attempts to keep only part of it (see also Galatians 5:3).The New Covenant has reaffirmed the morality of the Law of Moses in almost every detail, including all of the Ten Commandments except the Sabbath and the general principles of loving God wholeheartedly and one's fellow human as oneself. A few moral precepts found in the Law are not explicitly repeated in the New Covenant, such as the command against sacrificing one's children (Leviticus 18:21) or having sex with an animal (Exodus 22:19; Leviticus 18:23; 20:15-16; Deuteronomy 27:21), but these are covered in the more general imperatives against idolatry, murder, and sexual immorality (e.g., 1 John 5:21; 3:12-15; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20).Yet the New Covenant is not a law in the same sense in which the Mosaic Covenant was. Paul says, "we serve within the new approach of the Spirit, and never within the previous approach of the written code" (Romans 7:6). We've freedom in Christ to stroll in His footsteps, to comply with His instance, to mimic His priorities, His views, His coronary heart. His love evokes us, His energy humbles us, and His sacrifice makes us pure. We attempt to be obedient to Him, not simply to a rule-book. Our obedience is the measure of our loyalty and like to Him (John 14:15).

How Will the Tax Act Affect You?
Concerned about how the new tax laws will affect your 2018 tax bill? You aren't the only one.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act includes a number of tax changes that could impact you. According to Alverno alumna and financial advisor Sherry Plevak '94, the most important act to take right now is to review your financial situation and determine how the new law will affect your tax burden. She says now is the time to do a mid-year check in with your tax preparer.
The tax changes will affect each household differently, from working investors to retirees. For example, people with mortgages on second homes and those who have a large Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from an IRA may be affected.
Because of these changes, some of the tax planning strategies you have used in the past may need re-evaluation. If you are philanthropically minded, one option for people 70½ and older may be to gift all or part of their annual RMD to charity. The charity doesn't pay a tax, and the donor doesn't pay taxes on the portion of the distribution that is gifted.
For example, if your RMD is $10,000, and you make a direct gift of $5,000 to Alverno, you only pay taxes on the $5,000 that you keep, thus reducing your tax burden. Of course, this only applies if you don't need the entire RMD for living expenses because you have other financial resources such as a pension. Learn more about IRA charitable gifts.
Plus, it's easy. Simply contact your financial advisor or IRA or 401(k) plan administrator and ask for your RMD or a portion of it to be directly sent to the charity of your choice. You will want to track your charitable gifts for tax purposes.
Two additional strategies may reduce your tax burden. By setting up a charitable gift annuity or charitable remainder unitrust , you can make a gift to charity that will also provide you with annual income, a charitable income tax deduction and potentially favorable capital gains treatment. Your specific benefits will depend on your personal circumstances, including whether you itemize or take the standard deduction.
You can also make a gift of an asset, such as stock or property, that has significantly appreciated. This strategy allows you to generate a charitable tax deduction and potentially save on capital gains taxes. Itemizers and non-itemizers will see tax benefits with this strategy.
The most important thing is to review things now so you can make the best financial decisions for your situation before the end of the year. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 353 |
Bellbrook began as a village that grew its way into a city. The growth of this village was by the annexation of territory. When the town was first annexed, the population increased significantly and thus began the growth of the city.
The area was not very developed, and there was a lot of land in the city in early 1974. It led to the building of over 1000 housing units in the area. Once the building began, the city's growth picked up and today, there is little land left since most of it is built.
As the development continues, it is clear that the future of this town will have the 20th and 21st-century architecture to celebrate since there is little space left for any future building. Sugarcreek is the area that development is now at a high in the city.
We also inspected this home in Bellbrook in 2016.
The other major point of the city's development was the pork business. The city was actively involved in this business since the slaughter houses were near the city after which the pork was transported to Cincinnati. The earliest tavern in the city also brought companies and travelers to the region since it was known as the entertainment hub.
The city got its name from one of the founders Stephen Bell. When a post office named Bellbrook was established, the name of the town also changed in 1895. Besides the city's founders, there have been many notable people who come from this city. Their achievements have given the city recognition and pride.
Andrew Byrd from Bellbrook discovered the fountain of youth in the town while digging he found water that had been magnetized and had medicinal qualities which led him to open a sanatorium to treat diseases. Jesse Sanders is another outstanding individual from the town who designed the first wheat reaper.
When it comes to culture and arts, Bellbrook celebrates their heritage. It has been known as little sugar creek in the past, and there is a sugar maple festival held in the city every April. Every August in Bellbrook is time to celebrate the Lions Club festival. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 354 |

Blog: Hydrogen and First Nations: a long haul
January 11, 2023 // First Nations LNG Alliance
It's 1766. British scientist Henry Cavendish is experimenting in his laboratory. Almost by chance, he discovers something he terms "combustible air."
As The Energy Blog of RWE adds: "Back then, no one suspects that the gas will someday become one of the great hopes of energy supply: introducing hydrogen."
Hydrogen is a darling of clean-energy fans, a gas that when burned produces only water, and not the carbon emissions associated with fossil fuels.
A great hope indeed, but getting there isn't that easy. We have a long way to go, and there are carbon costs in producing the hydrogen.
Still, hydrogen is of much interest to a number of First Nations in Canada, and some are involved in the early stages of developing Canadian hydrogen.
The federal government issued a hydrogen strategy in 2020 that said: "Hydrogen might be nature's smallest molecule but its potential is enormous. It provides new markets for our conventional energy resources, and holds the potential to decarbonize many sectors of our economy, including resource extraction, freight, transportation, power generation, manufacturing, and the production of steel and cement."
Ottawa spoke of "positioning Canada to become a world-leading supplier of hydrogen technologies," reducing emissions, offering "unique opportunities for Indigenous communities and businesses," generating more than 350,000 jobs, and "employing hydrogen as a key enabler to reach net-zero emissions by 2050."
Ottawa's hydrogen strategy declared: "This will position Canada as a world-leading producer, user and exporter of clean hydrogen, and associated technologies."
But the strategy was in essence "a call to action" with 32 recommendations. It was more of a plan to develop a plan. Much the same can be said, too, of provincial hydrogen strategies such as BC's "sustainable pathway" of 63 actions. There is indeed a long way to go before Canada becomes a world player.
Hydrogen can be produced from sources that include natural gas. Canada is the world's fifth-largest producer of gas. Its has reserves that are No. 18 in the world, and could last us for a couple of hundred years.
The feds note that "Canada is already one of the top 10 global hydrogen producers." But only a little is exported, with the main usage being domestic, in oil refining, ammonia production, methanol production and steel production.
When German chancellor Olaf Scholz visited Canada last summer with hopes of securing long-term supplies of LNG, Prime Minister Trudeau declared that "there has never been a strong business case" for LNG exports to Europe. He talked hydrogen instead, and took Scholz to a hydrogen trade show at Stephenville NL. The two then signed a "declaration of intent" to collaborate on the export of clean Canadian hydrogen to Germany. Germany then bought long-term LNG from the U.S. and Norway.
Canada intends to start shipping "green hydrogen," produced by wind farms, to Germany by 2025. (We're now up to 11 "colours of hydrogen" depending on how the hydrogen is produced and the carbon intensity of production processes. See the graphic below.)
The Miawpukek First Nation and an Australian company have signed an MOU for a hydrogen project on the Atlantic coast.
It would be developed in and around the Port aux Basques, St. George's and Stephenville areas, producing almost a million tonnes of green ammonia per year. (Ammonia can be burned directly in an internal combustion engine with no carbon emission, or converted to electricity directly in a fuel cell, or cracked to provide hydrogen.)
Chief Misel Joe called the Miapukek's inclusion in green energy projects "historical and transformational," and cooperation in the spirit of reconciliation.
The Miawpukek Nation is also working with two other green energy developers on proposed wind to green hydrogen projects at three other sites. The Pabineau Nation is also pursuing hydrogen development in the same region.
The Miawpukek and Pabineau are not alone. In BC, the Fort Nelson First Nation and Hydrogen Naturally Inc. are working together to study the feasibility of a project to produce up to one million tonnes of "bright green" hydrogen a year.
It would process forest waste into "carbon-negative hydrogen." The partners see their hydrogen going to utilities and heavy transportation sectors, and offsetting the equivalent of emissions from about 85,000 cars each year.
Australia's Fortescue Future Industries, which signed the MOU with the Miawpukek, also has an MOU with the Lheidli T'enneh First Nation in BC to investigate the potential for producing green hydrogen.
(The Lheidli T'enneh also support Hydra Energy's hydrogen production facility and refuelling station that is being built at Prince George to serve the transportation industry. It's billed as the world's largest hydrogen refuelling station, and is to open in 2024.)
The Sundance Hydrogen project in northeastern BC would produce hydrogen that it says would be added to the natural gas in the current Enbridge/FortisBC transmission system. It would also partner with a First Nation greenhouse business, Sundance Produce, that would use waste heat from the hydrogen plant in Chetwynd.
At Prince Rupert, Ridley Terminals has in mind a hydrogen and ammonia pilot project that would involve the Lax Kw'alaams Band and Metlakatla First Nation.
The Haisla and Nisga'a nations, developing LNG projects, have signed an agreement with the Halfway First Nation in the Fort St. John area that addresses the negative impacts natural-gas extraction has on Halfway River territory. That could eventually lead to projects such as carbon capture and storage — and hydrogen production.
And there are other hydrogen projects proposed or being explored in other provinces with First Nations partnerships or support, such as the Frog Lake Nation in Alberta and the Saugeen Nation and the Six Nations of the Grand River in Ontario.
Alberta's Industrial Heartland Hydrogen Task Force proposes that Canadian hydrogen has a wholesale market potential of up to $100 billion a year.
It identified the Edmonton region as the best launch point for a pan-Canadian hydrogen economy. And, with the Enoch Cree and Alexander First Nations, it is working to develop a $1.6-billion hydrogen hub, with more than 25 projects related to the production, transportation and end use of hydrogen.
Says Chief Billy Morin of the Enoch Cree: "Our goal is to do right by Mother Earth, but also find a balance between making money and creating business and doing so in a sustainable way that honours Mother Earth and our traditional teachings. That is what hydrogen represents."
All in all, it's going to be a long haul to establish Canada as that "world-leading producer, user and exporter of clean hydrogen, and associated technologies."
But at least First Nations will be a part of it all.

For Scottish film fans, February means one thing: Glasgow Film Festival is upon us. You'll struggle to find a more welcoming or carefully curated festival on the circuit, and this year's edition is particularly lively. As the festival hits its 15th year, there's a suitable level of teen angst and coming of age on screen. The festival's bookends both take us back to those heady years, and particularly to the pre-digital era of the mid-90s.
The opener is – appropriately enough – titled Mid90s. The directorial debut of Jonah Hill, it follows an introverted 13-year-old who finds an escape from his crumby homelife by taking to the streets of LA and falling in with a group of skaters. Word is this is a soulful and assured debut, suggesting Hill was paying attention while acting for master directors like Martin Scorsese and Gus Van Sant.
There's a real buzz, too, for closer Beats, an adaptation of Kieran Hurley's electric stage show about a boy coming of age during the fag end of the 90s rave scene. Written by Hurley, directed by Black Mirror alumnus Brian Welsh and with music by JD Twitch, we've seen Beats described as "Trainspotting meets Dazed & Confused, set 1994 West Lothian" and feeling like a gig as much as a movie. This looks set to be a very special GFF closing night, especially as the Arches is said to be reopening for one night only as the afterparty venue, with JD Twitch on music duty.
Tickets for these gala screenings have long been snatched up, but there are plenty of other eye-catching marquee titles in the programme. There are mint-fresh films from the likes of Asghar Farhadi (Everybody Knows), Jacques Audiard (The Sisters Brothers), Carol Morley (Out of Blue), Werner Herzog (Meeting Gorbachev) and Michael Winterbottom (The Wedding Guest). Stephen Merchant, meanwhile, serves up the fun-looking wrestling comedy Fighting with My Family, which features Florence Pugh, Jack Lowden and bona fide wrestling icon Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, who's playing himself.
If you saw Philippe Lesage's striking debut The Demons at GFF a few years ago you'll know that his new film Genesis, an imaginatively structured coming-of-age film about three teens reaching out for love, is a must-see. Marilyn Edmond's Connect, reportedly a heartfelt exploration of suicide among young men in Scotland, is one of the intriguing-looking world premieres in the programme. We're also taken by the idea of Gerard Butler and Peter Mullan as lighthouse keepers caught up in a spot of trouble on a storm-swept Scottish island in thriller The Vanishing.
Rep fans are also in for a treat at GFF this year. As well as the great-looking End of Innocence retrospective, documenting the American films of 1969 that saw the old guard of Hollywood give way to the counterculture and the burgeoning New Hollywood of Easy Rider and Midnight Cowboy, there's a full retrospective of the features by comic genius Elaine May. All four of her films are wonderful – even the notoriously derided Ishtar (the critics got it wrong: it's a goofy laugh riot) – but if you can see only one we'd suggest the masterful cringe rom-com The Heartbreak Kid, which remains stubbornly unavailable to home viewers in the UK.
If it's GFF's famous immersive pop up screenings you love most, they've got some doozies this year including Fight Club, complete with some live 'fight club' action beforehand; The Matrix at the Arches, complete with mind-twisting immersive installations and an afterparty; a screening of seminal space horror Alien with a game of laser tag; and, most intriguing, The Blair Witch Project in a spooky secret location.
Word is ...Barbarians is another triumph for talented Romanian filmmaker Radu Jude (Aferim!, Scarred Hearts); a darkly comic, politically timely meta-drama, it concerns an idealistic theatre director preparing to stage a grand outdoor historical pageant based on 1941's Odessa massacre, one of the darkest moments in Romania's turbulent history. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 363 |

Everyone supports good teaching in our universities. How could we not? UK universities have a global reputation for the high quality of learning offered here – and they attract greater numbers of overseas students (14%) than any other country in the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, except the US (which hosts 21%).
Teaching is, at its core, a human endeavour and the fact that so many people want to study in this country is a tribute to the 200,000 staff who teach in our universities, as well as the thousands more who support them. Yet successive initiatives from the government seem to ignore the impact of this critical group, choosing instead to focus upon structures. Sadly, the proposed Teaching Excellence Framework (Tef), continues this pattern.
If the absence of the academic is striking in the Tef proposals, so too is the failure to appreciate how important the underlying employment model pursued by universities is in relation to quality.
More than 100,000 teaching staff (more than half of the total), are in insecure employment. The lucky ones have one-year contracts, tens of thousands more are on hourly paid contracts and 20,000 on some form of zero-hours contract. This endemic casualisation, is, in the words of one lecturer I met last week, "higher education's dirty secret".
Does it matter that those who teach our children at university are likely to be employed on a term-by-term basis, often living from hand-to-mouth and with little access to facilities or training and professional development?
The Tef is being consulted on until 15 January, but the outline for it provided in the green paper proposesusing student satisfaction, student retention rates and graduate job prospects to measure teaching quality. Those that score highly in these measures will be allowed to raise tuition fees in line with inflation (which will eventually rise).
There's a continuing lack of consensus about what constitutes sensible evidence for measuring teaching excellence but the student satisfaction survey is definitely not seen as a credible tool for the job.
There are methodological and pedagogical deficiencies with student satisfaction surveys. A UCU member who is an education lecturer in London told me that she has yet to find anyone who views the NSS as a valid measure of teacher effectiveness.
She pointed out that satisfaction is influenced by a whole host of factors, many of which are wider processes beyond their control, such as funding. Her department is struggling with a much-reduced budget after government reforms shifted teacher training to schools.
The marketisation of higher education has, of course, brought graduate prospects into sharp focus for students – now thought of as consumers. But making a direct link between post-study work and teaching is disingenuous. Choice of course, institution, and sadly, prior schooling and social background, are equally big predictors of job prospects for students.In addition, as an economics lecturer at a south coast university, said, the state of the economy has the biggest bearing on job prospects for her students.
The University College Union has long argued that the conditions teachers work in are effectively the conditions that students learn in. So although it is hidden away on page 33 of the green paper, the suggestion that universities should be held to account for career, staff training and engagement and the numbers of staff in permanent employment is one that we welcome.
As a union, we have made the case for the introduction of clear agreed promotion criteria for teaching staff, based on the national academic role profiles or locally agreed variants of them. Good teaching needs to be recognised in a clear career structure for university staff. I repeatedly hear from members that this is the obvious incentive to improve teaching, supported by appropriate training, support and professional development.
In the longer term, the link between the Tef and tuition fees risks creating a high-stakes assessment regime which will increase the likelihood of institutional game-playingat the expense of students themselves. This kind of behaviour has already been illustrated through the Research Excellence Framework, where the goal of publishing on specific subjects in specific journals has become all-encompassing for some. Teaching-focused staff have expressed concern that pay will become more arbitrary, undermining our national pay scales as managers look for the "right" to improve their Tef score.
Everyone recognises the importance of high-quality teaching, but the Tef will fare far better in the long run if government and institutions place staff at the centre of the process and finally address underlying issues such as casualisation, the lack of a defined career progression and inadequate funding. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 365 |

Good Things are Happening in Baltimore
After nearly two decades of investing in U.S. education, our team at the Gates Foundation has learned a number of lessons that inform our current work and strategies. One of those lessons can be boiled down into three words: local context matters.
We don't believe in a one-size-fits all approach to education, and we've seen time and again how solutions work best when they apply teachers' and other school leaders' local knowledge and experience.
My recent visit to Baltimore City Public Schools (City Schools) was a powerful reminder of this lesson. Under the leadership of CEO Dr. Sonja Santelises and her team, the City Schools team is putting in place a vision for improvement that truly reflects the community they serve. And while it's relatively early in the work, after visiting with district and school leaders I came away inspired and energized by what I saw in "Charm City."
It's almost impossible to visit Baltimore and not acknowledge the different ways inequity has marked the city. The legacy of systemic racism and "redlining" housing policies are still visible on the map. Challenges like concentrated poverty, opioids, and violence have contributed to a decline in the population across the city and are often leading the headlines we see on mainstream news about Baltimore.
Daily inspiration in a classroom
A panel of educators from across City Schools share their thoughts and experiences
But Baltimore is also a diverse city with unique neighborhoods, world-renowned universities and hospitals, a growing tech and cyber sector, and loads of untapped potential. Reconciling these two realities is a challenge for a school district serving more than 80,000 students — the vast majority of whom come from low-income backgrounds — and that is chronically underfunded (though a statewide commission has recently put forward recommendations that would go a long way towards addressing that gap).
Upon taking the helm as CEO in 2016, Dr. Santelises came face-to-face with many of the signs of the "opportunity gap" in Baltimore: declining enrollment, low test scores across grades, neglected buildings and a significant budget shortfall. These are the results of decades of systems and structures that have perpetuated inequity and shaped how Baltimore residents and students see themselves.
The question is, how do you turn around trends that have been decades in the making? Here's how Dr. Santelises and her team are working to answer that question:
Building a vision with the community. Dr. Santelises began her tenure by engaging the community to collectively decide what the priorities for the school system should be. The data made the challenges clear — for example, fewer than 1 in 5 students were meeting grade level expectations in English Language Arts (ELA) — but improving education for all students requires more than just focusing on a few subject areas. Conversations with families, students, community members, and local employers led to a multi-year strategic plan, called the Blueprint for Success, that focuses on three key themes that came from the community conversations:
· Student wholeness. This means looking at students as whole people with unique circumstances, needs and talents. It also means engaging students with a well-rounded curriculum, counseling, and other opportunities that support their learning and social and emotional development. As Dr. Santelises has said, "Yes, we want test scores to rise; yes, we want our kids to get what they need. But the reality is, they're whole people and whole people don't just do one thing."
· Literacy skills. Not only did the data make this need obvious, but employers in Baltimore made their voices heard in calling for more focus on fundamental communication and writing skills that are important to success in their workplaces.
· Leadership. This means a focus on developing leadership at all levels in a school, and making sure school leaders have opportunities to grow professionally through coaching and mentoring, as well as chances to collaborate and learn from their peers. It also applies to engaging students to lead and use their voices to shape the work of the district.
Changing the narrative for students and schools. To combat deeply entrenched stereotypes and empower students to be a voice in shaping their own city's narrative, City Schools has also begun piloting a social studies curriculum that seeks to connect students to the rich history, legacy, and realities of Baltimore. BMore Me features units like 'What Makes Us Baltimore?' and 'How can we build a better Baltimore?' that help students learn about their community's history and think deeply about how they fit in and how they can affect Baltimore's future.
In one classroom I visited, 7th graders were talking about everything from empty homes they pass by every day to how Baltimore was impacted by the War of 1812. They weren't being fed a narrative of what Baltimore is or should be. It was clear they were engaged and invested in defining their Baltimore.
When I think about Baltimore City Public Schools, this is what I think about: I think about students being surrounded by adults who believe in them and who are continually getting better at their craft; I think of students being challenged to meet high expectations and having the support to reach them; and I think of students forming their personal identities while also developing an understanding of the identity of their community. They have a Blueprint that makes me believe progress is possible. I look forward to coming back to Baltimore and seeing even more of what I saw in that 7th grade classroom.

Why Do You Care About Special Education, Anyways?
Skylar L. Primm (he/him)
Why Teaching Outside Builds an Ecosystem of Community and Collaboration | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaCommonCrawl'} | 369 |
Today's collect is a perfect outline of the Gospel. "O Lord, we beseech You, mercifully hear our prayers, and having set us free from the bonds of sin, defend us from all evil." This is precisely what Jesus does for the blind man of Jericho and what He does for you.
We tend to think of the Parable of the Sower as a commentary on evangelism. As congregations spread the Word of God, the majority of our work will not result in a harvest. A remarkable 75% of the effort appears to be wasted as faith is either never created at all, or quickly meets its demise. Only 25% of the Word yields a harvest. While this does give some insight into why every congregation isn't bursting at the seams and planting new churches every year, it's not the main reason why Jesus tells the Parable. Three verses after the Parable Jesus tells us why He told it. He said, "Take care, then, how you hear." That's a sobering sentence. "Take care, then, how you hear." The Parable of the Sower isn't about analyzing everyone else and how they responded to the Word. The Parable of the Sower is about me taking a look at my own life to realize that I have not been careful in how I heard and received the Word.
God has promised to give everyone what is appropriate, what they need to sustain this body and life. Christ Himself reminded us God takes care of the birds, the flowers, the grasses, and everything else. If He knows the plight of something as seemingly insignificant as grass, which grows wherever and however it wants, how much more will He take care of us?
This Sunday was also the kickoff for Epiphany's 25th Anniversary celebrations.
'Tis good, Lord, to be here! We sing what St. Peter spoke, a confession that it's good to be in the presence of Jesus, to get a glimpse of heaven. It's good to see an end to the sin and misery and junk that is a part of life in this world. But what about when we have to leave that glimpse? What about when we, like Peter, James, and John have to go back to the plain? Today we have Jesus' promise that He goes with us to the plain, through the valley of the shadow of death. Today we hear His promise that what we glimpsed for a fleeting moment will be ours eternally.
Today Our Lord teaches us about the importance of faith and prayer and the connection between the two. The two always go together. Just like Frank Sinatra taught us with "Love and Marriage"—you can't have one without the other. Both the leper and the centurion present us with the image of faith and prayer. Both believe. Both confes that God alone can answer prayer. Through them we see that it's faith that motivates us to pray, to reache out to the One it knows can and does answer all prayers. And it's faith that accepts the answer, regardless of what it is. So, we see that it is very important to pray for the one thing we truly need, that is, faith to accept the answer God gives us when we pray. And when we pray for the thing that we need the most, the thing that guarantees our entrance into heaven because it receives all that Christ has done for us, God always answers that with a yes.
Baptism is a good thing. Paul Gerhardt, a 17th century Lutheran Pastor wrote a Baptismal hymn, "All Christians Who Have Been Baptized." In its fifth stanza he writes: "O Christian, firmly hold this gift and give God thanks forever! It gives the power to uplift in all that you endeavor. When nothing else revives your soul, your Baptism stands and makes you whole and then in death completes you." When life is miserable, we as Christians get to say what we'll sing during the Distribution: "I am Baptized into Christ!" Sin, disturb my soul no longer! Satan, hear this proclamation! Death, you cannot end my gladness! I am Baptized into Christ. As we look at the Baptism of Our Lord, we understand a little more why Baptism is so central to our faith and our Christian life.
Actions speak louder than words." This is a phrase and a concept we all know. Another person can speak a promise to you, but his action of keeping that promise says much more than the mere promise. A spouse can say, "I love you," but unless those words are backed up by actions of love and commitment, then the words ring hollow. "Actions speak louder than words." Even without the expression, we all know how true it is.
Blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord." This is part of Elizabeth's conversation with Mary just a few months before Christmas, as Mary visits her relative ahead of the birth of John the Baptist. What Elizabeth is saying is that God always keeps His promises. He has never let His people down. What He says, He does. He may not fulfill His promises immediately, but when the time is right, He does. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 370 |
Well-healed London Lightning prepare to face Island Storm
The London Lightning enjoyed a luxury in practice Wednesday rarely seen in the first few weeks of their National Basketball League of Canada season.

The Bolts had 11 players available for workouts at the Centre YMCA as they prepared for their first meeting of the season with the Island Storm Thursday at Budweiser Gardens.
The team was down to eight players for the most part in their last four games, with Maurice Bolden, Omar Strong, Marvin Binney and Jaylon Tate out with injuries. Still, the Lightning managed their fifth straight win Saturday and could sweep their home stand with a win over the Charlottetown-based Storm.
"We haven't even been able to practise with 10 guys," said Lightning coach Doug Plumb. "I would have to jump in and walk through stuff."
Bolden and Tate were back for Saturday's 99-91 win over the Windsor Express, but Tate, coming off an ankle injury, sprained his other ankle five minutes into the game and is expected to be out for two to three more weeks.
The six-foot-three guard, who was NBLC rookie of the year in 2018 with the Niagara River Lions, had been looking forward to making his regular-season debut on home court after leading the Bolts with 25 points in a preseason game against the Express in Chatham.
"In the moment, I was really upset because I was excited and anxious to get back on the court," Tate said. "It was really frustrating, but my teammates have been encouraging and helping me through this process, so everything is going to be OK."
Bolden, who had 13 points and 11 rebounds in 25 minutes against Windsor Saturday, and Strong will be back Thursday, which should give the Bolts a 10-player bench.
Binney practised Wednesday, but Plumb wasn't sure if the six-foot-three guard from Toronto would be cleared in time to play Thursday.
Plumb said the Storm, second in the Atlantic Division at 5-3, like to dictate a fast pace.
"Quick shot, offensive rebound is what they are extremely good at," he said. "They want to make it a track meet; we want to execute our game and make them defend us. . . . It's a contrast in styles, but we will see who is more disciplined and who can do what they want to do."

European Productivity Gaps Is R&D the Solution?
Christoph Meister
Bart Verspagen
This paper investigates the potential impact of increased business R&D efforts in Europe on the total factor productivity gap between European and U.S. industry. The paper addresses Europe's ambition, expressed at the 2000 Lisbon Summit to become "the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world", and the 3% R&D intensity target for Europe formulated at the 2002 Barcelona Summit. Based on existing empirical models from the literature on productivity and R&D expenditures, we provide projections on the expected productivity impacts of increased R&D in manufacturing industries. The results suggest that raising European R&D is not a complete solution to the European productivity backlog relative to the U.S. We also find that the most dramatic impacts may be expected from raising R&D in so-called low-tech sectors.

Q: WSO2BAM REST stream input to BAM/Cassandra; can't get to the EVENT_KS data using hive query? The background for this question is essentially an article written by Sachini Jayasekara @ WSO2 called Using Different Reporting Frameworks with WSO2 Business Activity Monitor . I am doing more or less exactly the same, but using rather the REST API to define a data stream and invoke the REST WS API to push data into BAM. Then use the HIVE queries to get to the data. However, it seems that I have missed something, as the attribute data is not shown. Hence the query.
Currently using the REST api which is invoked through a Perl based daemon. This invokes the REST API using the following streams definition and payload:
{
"name":"currentcostRealtime2.stream",
"version": "1.0.6",
"nickName": "Currentcost Realtime",
"description": "This is the Currentcost realtime stream",
"payloadData":[
{
"name":"sensor",
"type":"INT"
},
{
"name":"temp",
"type":"FLOAT"
},
{
"name":"timestamp",
"type":"STRING"
},
{
"name":"watt",
"type":"INT"
}
]
}
.. and payload definition ..
[
{
"payloadData" : [SENSOR, TEMP, "TIMESTAMP", WATT] ,
}
]
I should note that the payload is string replaced before its committed; e.g. the actual payload that is committed looks like:
[
{
"payloadData" : [1, 18.7, "2014-06-15 16:15:56", 1] ,
}
]
The queries execute with no apparent problem, but I am having now an issue with the HIVE query in BAM, which gives me entries output, but not the values. E.g. trying to now execute the following HIVE query:
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS CurrentCostDataTemp ( sensor INT, temp FLOAT, ts TIMESTAMP, watt INT )
STORED BY 'org.apache.hadoop.hive.cassandra.CassandraStorageHandler'
WITH SERDEPROPERTIES ( "cassandra.host" = "127.0.0.1",
"cassandra.port" = "9160",
"cassandra.ks.name" = "EVENT_KS",
"cassandra.ks.username" = "admin",
"cassandra.ks.password" = "admin",
"cassandra.cf.name" = "currentcostRealtime2_stream",
"cassandra.columns.mapping" = "payload_sensor, payload_temp, payload_timestamp, payload_watt" );
select * from CurrentCostDataTemp;
.. but this gives only the following (see specific picture below) - e.g. that there is NO attribute level data that is shown. However, it is evident that there are EVENT_KS entries given it outputs 4 rows.. so question is how do I reference the data to extract the values, or is there something else going on here that I am not aware of?:
key sensor temp ts watt
1402816273765::192.168.1.106::9443::52

1402815280532::192.168.1.106::9443::50
Have verified that the data is in Cassandra by checking with Cqlsh - see here:
cqlsh:EVENT_KS> select * from "currentcostRealtime_stream";
key | Description | Name | Nick_Name | StreamId | Timestamp | Version | meta_ipAdd | payload_sensor | payload_temp | payload_timestamp | payload_watt

Most likely a minor issue only that I have overseen, but would be great if someone else have seen this and could respond as well..
When adding in a remote table definition to MySQL DB externally, the tables and all are created, but it seems like the problem is getting to the attribute data in the EVENT_KS table itself, and having that created and accessed through the HIVE script.
Thanks in advance!

A: Try changing the 1st line of the script as follows.
CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE IF NOT EXISTS CurrentCostDataTemp (key STRING, sensor INT, temp FLOAT, ts TIMESTAMP, watt INT)
(Remove key STRING part if it gives errors.)
Note: May be you will have to run DROP TABLE CurrentCostDataTemp before running above, in case it is already created, when you run it before.

Life is too short to be doctrinaire about my cocktails or deliberately set myself up for disappointment. At least not when there are bubbles to be drunk.
This piece first appeared in issue #56 of our Gravy quarterly. The author, Kat Kinsman, is the editor-in-chief of Tasting Table. Thanks to SFA members for supporting the work of Gravy.
You will never make my favorite drink incorrectly. I will not allow that to happen. Not in a didactic, bossy, or witchy way—I don't have printed recipe cards in my purse or the proportions tattooed up my forearm. I'm just fully prepared to enjoy whatever version of a French 75 you'd care to serve me. Life is too short to be doctrinaire about my cocktails or deliberately set myself up for disappointment. At least not when there are bubbles to be drunk.
I have a thing for this drink. It hits all my buttons: tart (usually lemon juice, sometimes lime), sweet (sugar, simple syrup, or orange liqueur), fizzy and fancy (Champagne or a reasonable analogue), strong—and here's where it gets interesting. By the reckonings of most old-tymey bar books and fellas with with wax-tipped moustaches, the hard booze used can be either gin or Cognac. Either is right, so neither is wrong—and I might as well try plenty of 'em just to make sure. It's not just because I love to sip a French 75 in the cool of a hotel lobby in a city where I've never been before, pair one (or two), with a rare, long weekday lunch that makes me feel like I've thieved an hour from the gods, or nurse one at a sleek, bland airport bar as my flight time gets shoved back, and back again.
It's not just the drink; it's the conversation and surprise that's served alongside it, especially at a place where they're not often ordered. I'm not a jerk, strolling into a beer hall or a honky tonk, demanding my twee little beverage. But if I see the makings on the bar, maybe a lightly abused piece of citrus and a stab at a cocktail list, I'll take my chances.
"Uh, what's in that?" the bartender might ask.
I rattle off the ingredient list—minus any proportions or serving suggestions—any way they interpret it is fine by me. I'm used to the look of alarm, and I'm quick to quell it. No, seriously, make it however you want to, and I guarantee I'll love it.
The hundred or so that I've drunk have ranged from good to sublime, poured into flutes, coupes, snifters, Martini glasses, goblets, garnished with lemon peels that range from a waning crescent of zest to a meticulously carved Cthulhu that threatened to breach the bounds of the glass. Sometimes there's fruit: A rookie bartender at a favorite local tavern stirred an orange wedge and a few brandied cherries into the mix after pouring my French 75 over ice in a pint glass.
His manager came scurrying over—Oh, god, I didn't realize he was making that for you. Is it OK? I can always….
Are you kidding? It's a triple serving of my favorite drink with a straw jammed into it. If you have to carry me home, I'll be smiling and singing "La Marseillaise" the whole way there.
Not that a French 75 (it's actually the name of a piece of WWI field artillery) is definitively French—there's much debate over its place of origin. Some say it came into being at Harry's New York Bar in Paris, or possibly the Hotel Chatham down the Rue Daunou. Others maintain that it came from an American fighter pilot or the Buck's Club in London. Maybe a variation on a Tom Collins or a Champagne Cup, but possibly an upgrade on the popular French combo of Cognac and Champagne.
Should you be lucky enough to nab an empty stool at Arnaud's French 75 Bar on Bienville Street in New Orleans, Chris Hannah—the (non-moustached) bartender who has likely poured more of them than anyone else on the planet—just might hand you a four-page, typewritten, imagined conversation with the long-dead and legendary bartender Harry Craddock, wherein they muse over those very origin stories.
I don't recommend that, though. Not at first. Not until you've gotten a few dozen under your belt (not all at once) and fully appreciated the range of expression, the possibilities of of the mixological palette that can create a French 75. Because the one Chris will pour you might ruin you for the rest. It starts with a frosted tulip glass. Then Courvoisier VS, sugar, and lemon juice shaken and strained, then topped off with Moët and Chandon. Then a twist. Then bliss. Then regret.
When I visited Arnaud's on Easter morning this year, I chased Hannah's French 75 quickly with a cup of coffee and a massive seltzer, needing to lightly mar the memory. I get to New Orleans increasingly frequently, so I'm confident it won't be my last, but knowing it's out there makes me have a bit less abandon in my explorations. Like meeting the love of your life when you're in high school and still have so much misguided kissing, screwing, and crushing to do. I'm not ready to settle down yet. I still have many years of wandering and tippling ahead of me, but now I know I'll always have that taste of Paris. Or possibly London. And definitely New Orleans. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 374 |

Ettore Pesetti (Etto')
Home » Virtual Collections » Artisti » Ettore Pesetti (Etto')
"He exhibited both in Italy and abroad without ever forgetting his Apuan origins, preserving his culture in his terracottas, tangible trace of all the memorable examples he witnessed or that he carried in his veins, from the anthropomorphic stone tablets to the Romanesque sculptures disseminated throughout the parish churches of Lunigiana and the Alta Versilia area."
Giancarlo Caldini, Ettore Pesetti at Barbaroux, Eco d'Arte, Florence, May 1972
Ettore Pesetti, aka Ettò, was born in Pietrasanta, Lucca, in 1903.
A highly specialised master sculptor who worked with hard materials like marble and stone, he had an innate gift for 'sculpted sculpture', as described by Giancarlo Cerri, curator of the Museo Pesetti, who knew Ettò personally during the last years of his life.
Pesetti was born into a family of artists and artisans. His father, Manfredo, was a sculptor and decorator who often worked on non-Italian commissions. His brother Giulio was a well-known and esteemed teacher in Milan. His other brother Cesare, who died in Belgium a few years before Ettò and was also a master sculptor, began working at the tender age of twelve in the workshops of Pietrasanta masters, learning the 'trade' in the highest sense of the word. In his youth, Ettò attended the Pietrasanta School of Art, earning his diploma with full marks.
When he was 24, he moved to Brussels to work with his father Manfredo and older brother Cesare on Desmaré's great monument to the Unknown French Soldier in Belgian Territory. He remained in Belgium for several years, and this period was foundational for his professional and cultural development.
While there, he held his first solo show at the renowned Fievez Gallery in Brussels.
In the early 1930s, he returned to Italy and opened a studio in Milan, a city where he had many personal contacts in the art world, particularly Francesco Messina, Fausto Melotti and Eros Pellini, who suggested that he teach at the Brera Academy. He thanked them for the advice, but did not follow it: a reserved man, his life was dedicated to his work and his work alone. During that period, he became an acknowledged portraitist, producing splendid works in white marble from the Apuan Alps and pink marble from Candoglia. At the end of the decade, Ettò and his brother Cesare decided to move to France, where their father was based, and precisely in Paris – the point of reference for the arts in Europe at the time. But they never made the move, since Ettò was called to arms as Italy stood on the brink of World War II.
After the war, and especially from the 1960s on, Ettò displayed his work in and attended group and solo shows at the famous Milan gallery Barbaroux, located in Via Santo Spirito, near Via Monte Napoleone.
Piera Barbaroux, the widow of Vittorio Emanuele Barbaroux, who died young, was a renowned gallerist in Italy and abroad, and held Ettò in the highest esteem, considering him to be a true great master sculptor.
Among his last exhibitions in Italy: 'Rassegna Maestri Contemporanei', Galleria Barbaroux, Milan 1972; solo shows at the Galleria Barbaroux, Milan 1972, 1975, 1977; a solo show at 'Il Centro', Pavia, 1974; a solo show at the Galleria Internazionale, Varese, 1975; a solo show at the Galleria Locatelli, Bergamo, 1976. Finally, in the early 1980s, he set up a permanent exhibition of his work at his new studio in Milan, and dedicated himself entirely to his work, often creating pieces using the 'direct cut' method.
After his death in 1987, when he was still working on a sculpture, later titled 'Incompiuta", two major solo shows were dedicated to his work: one in 1988 at the Galleria Cortina in Milan, in the central Piazza Cavour, and one in 1997, on the ten-year anniversary of his death, in Pietrasanta at the prestigious Sala delle Grasce, testifying to the strong tie the artist always had to the city where he was born.
In 2011, also in Pietrasanta, the Museo Pesetti opened with a special ceremony presided over by the mayor and professor Domenico Lombardi. The museum is located in the Sala dell'Annunziata/Chiostro di Sant'Agostino in the Via dei Piastroni, in the historic town centre.
The Milanese painter Giancarlo Cerri, who is the curator of the museum, described Ettò as "a kind, amiable, polite man, well-spoken, even reserved, but steadfast and confident before a block of marble, often creating his works based on no more than an idea or a preliminary sketch. I met him between the late 1960s and the early 1970s, when I was holding my first solo shows at the historic Galleria Barbaroux, which he had already been connected to for years, showing his work in solo and group shows that won the deep admiration of the art critics linked to the Barbaroux. Among them, Mario Monteverdi, (Corriere Lombardo), Mario Portalupi (La Notte) and Mario Lepore (Corriere d'Informazione), to cite just a few. That was the period during which Ettò had arrived – after years of creating highly figurative, which is to say traditional, sculpture – at a stripped-down, extremely modern style where the figure was only the starting point, then translated into compositions that already hinted at his subsequent phase, the last period of Ettò's art: the abstractionism of the final years of his stunning creative output. His brand of abstractionism was exceptionally based on the plastic values of forms expressed in admirably opposed solids and voids, which give the work tremendous grace and highly personal formal elegance.
Now, with no wish to detract from Ettò's multi-decade artistic path, I believe that his final work – that of the abstract period – was the most fundamentally important of his entire exceptional artistic career, as well as the most astonishing, for the creative energy he poured into it up to the final days of his life."

Anheuser-Busch is planning to shut down its downtown Manitowoc malt facility later this year.
Plant manager David Luckow said the company performed an extensive review of current and future malting needs, according to a media release issued Thursday by the company.
"Based on current market forecasts, location of raw material supply and more efficient malting processes, the company determined that current malting needs are being sufficiently met through other sources, including its malting facilities in Idaho and Minnesota," Luckow said.
The Manitowoc plant is expected to remain in operation for an estimated six to nine months as production winds down. The plant has 13 employees.
There are no plans to change operations at any of Anheuser-Busch's other plants. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 377 |

NCDPI receives millions in grants to address students' mental health needs
Public domain image from Shutterstock.com
The North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI) recently received approximately $17 million in grant funding from the U.S. Department of Education to help meet the mental health needs of students in the state's public schools.
The funding comes at a time when school-age children, including teenagers, are facing possibly the worst mental health crisis in the country's history, thanks in part to the pandemic, social media pressures, and cultural shifts.
The 2021 N.C. Youth Risk Behavior Survey, a joint project between DPI and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, showed an upward trend in mental health problems among young people.
According to a DPI press release, the grants entitled the Mental Health Service Professional Demonstration (MHSP) Grant and the School-Based Mental Health (SBMH) Grant Program will help DPI to leverage partnerships with universities and 15 school districts that will increase the number of mental health service providers in high-needs schools, including school counselors, school social workers, and school mental health clinicians.
The grants, which will begin to help students starting this month and continue through 2027, were pursued by DPI last fall. The applications cited data from the newly released 2021 Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS), presented to the State Board of Education (SBE) on Jan. 4 as the primary need for the funding. Findings included how mental health challenges hurt students' achievements and showed an ongoing need to address the continued negative impact on students' mental health post-pandemic.
"This funding is so important in terms of building capacity for mental health service professionals in schools," State Superintendent of Public Instruction Catherine Truitt said in the release. "As an awardee of both grants, the agency is able to increase mental health support for students in designated North Carolina schools while strengthening the future pipeline of school-based mental health providers through recruitment, retention, and incentives."
DPI's Mental Health Service Professional Demonstration Grant, named "Project Adding Direct Support (ADS)", will serve over 120,000 students in eight school districts, including Pitt, Pender, Wayne, Harnett, Scotland, Alamance-Burlington, Charlotte-Mecklenburg, and Catawba.
Project ADS aims to increase the number of licensed school-based mental health providers by a minimum of 60 within five years. Project ADS will incentivize local generalist counselors and social workers to "re-specialize" or complete additional work to become licensed to practice in schools as designated school counselors and/or school social workers.
Project ADS will partner with The University of North Carolina-Charlotte (UNCC), The University of North Carolina-Pembroke (UNCP), and N.C. State University (NCSU), all of which have approved school counseling and school social work licensure programs to accomplish the goal.
In partnership with the universities, Project ADS will recruit, train and re-specialize school-based mental health providers, provide travel stipends for internships in identified local education agencies (LEA), and provide stipends for internship supervisors. The total funding for this grant is approximately $5.54 million across five years.
DPI's School-Based Mental Health Grant called "Project FAST" will serve approximately 73,000 students in six school districts: Cabarrus, Davidson, Guilford, Randolph, Scotland, and Stanly. Project FAST, which has a similar goal as Project ADS, looks to increase the number of school-based mental health providers to 30 over the project's five-year period.
With an emphasis on recruitment, re-specialization, and retention, the project plans to ensure that staff remain in place and provides incentives to professionals to ensure that students' growing mental health needs are met.
Districts participating in Project FAST will have a project consultant to assist in crafting a plan to increase the number of mental health service providers in their schools based on individual priorities, gaps in services, and current student-to-provider ratios. Districts can select among recruitment mechanisms such as offering stipends to graduate interns, providing tuition assistance and costs associated with re-specialization, and/or offering signing bonuses and supplement increases.
Incentives for extending contracts and providing intensive professional development and/or training opportunities are ways in which retention will be addressed.
Funding for the grant is approximately $2.84 million beginning in 2023 and $2.37 recurring each calendar year until Dec. 31, 2027, for a total of roughly $12.3 million.
The grants enhance funding that DPI received from the N.C. General Assembly in the 2021 budget that allows for each school district in the state to have one full-time, permanent school psychologist.

An early growth response 1 (EGR1) gene fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH) test system for specimen characterization is a device intended to detect the EGR1 probe target on chromosome 5q in bone marrow specimens from patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The assay results are intended to be interpreted only by a qualified pathologist or cytogeneticist. These devices do not include automated systems that directly report results without review and interpretation by a qualified pathologist or cytogeneticist. These devices also do not include any device intended for use to select patient therapy, predict patient response to therapy, or to screen for disease as well as any device with a claim for a particular diagnosis, prognosis, monitoring, or risk assessment.
(b) Classification. Class II (special controls). The special controls for this device are:
(1) Premarket notification submissions must also include the following information:
(i) A detailed description of all probes included in the kit;
(ii) Purpose of each probe;
(iii) Probe molecular specificity;
(iv) Probe specificity;
(v) Probe limits;
(vi) Probe sensitivity;
(vii) Specification of required ancillary reagents, instrumentation, and equipment;
(viii) Specification of the specimen collection, processing, storage and slide preparation methods;
(ix) Specification of the assay procedure;
(x) Specification of control elements that are incorporated into the recommended testing procedures;
(xi) Specification of risk mitigation elements: Description of all additional procedures, methods, and practices incorporated into the directions for use that mitigate risks associated with testing;
(xii) Specification of the criteria for test result interpretation and reporting;
(xiii) Device analytical sensitivity data;

Q: Registering multiple Perl sub references for a C library in XS Both perlcall (in the "Strategies for storing Callback Context Information" section) and Extending and Embedding Perl (in the "Callback" section) lists 3 different ways to handle calling Perl sub routines from XS/C:
*
*Immediately: XS calls
*Deferred: saving the sub ref as an SV* for later
*Multiple: save n sub refs for later
The example and details listed for #3 above use a hash in XS to associate the sub ref with a particular C function, but they predefine a fixed number of C functions which is not adequate.
I'm working on an XS interface to a C library that uses callbacks/function pointers with optional arguments e.g.:
blah(custom_type *o, void (*func) (void *data, int more_data), const void * data);
The C blah in this library will end up calling the function passed to it along with the data passed in.
If possible, I'd like to do a 1-to-1 mapping of the C API to the Perl one. e.g.
blah($o, \&func, $data);
Currently, I have #2 above, but another call to blah() would overwrite the saved SV *.
How would I implement #3 above?
A: This is the solution I came up with:
Most of the callbacks in this C library will take a user supplied void * and pass that as the first argument. So I save the SV * and user supplied data in a struct:
typedef struct __saved_callback {
SV *func;
void *data;
} _saved_callback;
My XS function will allocate a _saved_callback struct and pass that as the first argument to call_perl_sub() with the Perl sub reference and that user supposed data.
void
blah(obj, func, data)
whatever *obj
void *func
void *data
CODE:
_saved_callback *sc = NULL;
Newx(sc, 1, _saved_callback);
sc->func = (SV *)func;
sc->data = data;
blah(obj, call_perl_sub, sc);
Then call the Perl sub reference (I've omitted the stack manipulation for the user supplied data argument):
void call_perl_sub(void *data) {
dSP;
int count;
_saved_callback *perl_saved_cb = data;
count = call_sv(perl_saved_cb->func, G_DISCARD);
if ( count != 0 )
croak("Expected 0 value got %d\n", count);
}
A: I can't give you a complete answer, unfortunately. Instead, let me give you a few pointers:
*
*You can't map a Perl code reference (technically a CV*) to a C function. Perl code references are really data (a tree of OPs) with some function pointers attached for doing the specific bits of work in each OP. (Cf. perl guts illustrated for details on OP structures).
*What you may be able to get away with is write your own C function with the required signature, pass it to the C-level blah. Then in your XS code, get the Perl callbacks (which gets passed in as a Perl scalar (SV)). See "perldoc perlapi". Look for svtype and the SVt_* bits.) Store those SVs somewhere. Then, when you want the C library to do the callbacks, your C callback gets control and can dispatch to your Perl-level callbacks. Cf. "perldoc perlcall".
Good luck. You're about to do strange things.

Bajaj Could Soon Be Developing A New Electric Motorcycle
The Indian automaker has trademarked the "Freerider" name.
Jun 24, 2021 at 9:21pm ET
By: Enrico Punsalang
Indian automotive and motorcycle giant Bajaj has recently filed a trademark for what could be its own iteration of the Husqvarna E-Pilen, an electric motorcycle it is helping co-develop with Husqvarna. Dubbed the "Freerider", this new electric motorcycle will certainly serve as a breath of fresh air in the rapidly growing electric two-wheeler segment in Asia, which continues to be dominated by electric scooters.
The Bajaj Freerider could in fact be the first electric motorcycle to be launched by a mainstream motorcycle manufacturer in India. It's more than likely, however, that the Freerider will be built on the same platform as the Husqvarna E-Pilen, and share quite a lot of componentry with the European electric motorcycle. After all, Bajaj plays a large role in the development of the E-Pilen, as well as a lot of other bikes from Husqvarna and KTM. As far as the Husqvarna E-Pilen is concerned, production is expected to start towards the tail end of 2021, with the official launch of the E-Pilen on the global stage slated either at the end of 2021 or early 2022.
The Bajaj Freerider will likely be based on the Husqvarna E-Pilen.
As we're already well aware, the Husky E-Pilen is likewise based on the Vitpilen and Svartpilen street bikes, which share the same chassis as KTM's Duke range of bikes. That said, we can expect the Bajaj Freerider to carry over some of that nimble and agile riding character for which the Husky and KTM street bikes are so loved. Now, diving into the meat and potatoes, the Bajaj Freerider is expected to share the same electric powertrain as the Husqvarna E-Pilen. This means that it'll likely be equipped with an 8kW electric motor which pumps out the equivalent of around 11 horsepower—just a bit less than that of 125cc gas-powered machines.
The electric motor will be juiced up by a lithium-ion battery pack which is expected to return around 100 kilometers, or 62 miles of range on a single charge. It's also interesting to note that KTM and Husqvarna have been working on the development of swappable batteries for their electric vehicles. With that, it won't be surprising if the Bajaj Freerider will feature the same type of swappable battery technology.
At the moment, the Bajaj Freerider has yet to be officially announced by the Indian manufacturer. Other than recent trademark filings, we have yet to see any teasers from Bajaj. However, given the fact that the company already has a solid electric motorcycle platform in the form of the upcoming E-Pilen, don't be surprised if the Bajaj Freerider will make its debut a lot sooner than expected. After all, there are some pretty juicy incentives for manufacturers to roll out electric two-wheelers, particularly in the Indian market.

Such a great base for fall. I'd wear as is or play with layering a printed collar.
Obsessed with this rich green. It's got more structure than a poncho but it's breezy and cool.

With Easter being two sleeps away, I thought I would give you a little bit of inspiration for your Easter table setting! Opt for a white table cloth for a fresh and natural style table setting that will work in any style of home. Coloured eggs and other decorations look stunning against a crisp backdrop such as this! Creative floral arrangements are always a true standout display no matter the occasion! As summer is on its way out, celebrate the natural beauty of autumn with season appropriate flowers or plants that will bring life to your Easter lunch. Fill a trifle dish with delightfully dyed eggs; this is a quick and cost-effective way to spruce up your table setting. Choose colours that will enhance the food you will be serving or the napkins you will be using in order to create a harmonious ambience that is visually appealing. I have organised an Easter egg hunt in the garden for my son so hopefully the weather will be good! Happy Easter everyone! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 388 |

Credit Card Online - For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express. Remember, in certain situations we reserve the right to only ship to the billing address on the credit card.
Paypal - If you wish to pay by credit card or though your checking account, you may use PayPal. It's fast and efficient. We get our money almost instantaneously and you get your cards quickly. Also, if we buy cards, we can also pay you via PayPal if that is your preferred method. Paypal payments will usually ship same or next day, but could take up to 3 business days in some instances for order processing. Paypal is unavailable to any international customers placing their first order over $100 with us. You must choose another payment method if this is the case. We reserve the right in certain situations to only ship to a PayPal confirmed address.
Credit Card by Phone - For those of you that would prefer not to give your Credit Card number online, you can call or fax us with your credit card number. Simply place your order like you normally would, then choose the "Check/Money Order" option. Then, call us at 562-694-9500 to pay (a $2 processing fee may apply). For those who do not wish to use the Internet for placing your order, you can call us at 562-694-9500 and we can take your order over the phone (a $5 processing fee may apply).
Money Orders or Personal Check - Money orders will generally result in next-day shipping. Please allow up to 7 business days for personal or business checks to clear. Please allow up to 2-3 days for processing of all orders received through the mail. Money orders are easily purchased through your local post office, Wal Mart, your Local Bank or Supermarket, among other places.
Cash - We don't recommend this since it's at your own risk. If you choose to pay via cash, make sure you conceal it well. Do not send coins in the mail, as it can damage the envelope in shipping and cause the money to be lost.
Shipping charges vary based on the type of service used. Normally we will ship orders via the US Postal Service. Your cost for this depends on how many cards you buy. Domestic first class mail is $0.99, and Priority Mail and Express Mail are also available. International shipping starts at $7.55.
Customers from the countries of Brazil, Greece, Italy, and the Philippines are restricted to Express Mail International for their shipping method. You can click here for more information on this policy.
Additionally, due to problems with lost packages, we no longer ship products (such as sleeves or sealed product) internationally. Customers outside the US are limited to single cards only.
If it has been at least 7 days since the order was placed and payment was received, you can call us at 562-694-9500 or email us to check on the status of the order. 99% of the time, your order has already been shipped and is simply taking longer in the mail. Once in a while, though, an order might have been held up for one reason or another. In this case you should have received an e-mail stating this, but on the email may not have been received (please check your "spam" bin for legitimate emails).
You can sign up for an account on our website, and then you can go to the my account/order history page, and by clicking on the link for "Missing an order? Click here to search for all orders placed with your email.", it will recover all orders placed with your email address. Your order status for all orders can be reviewed there.
Tracking information, where available, is emailed when the package is shipped. If you do not receive an email with tracking information, and your order history shows that the order was shipped, then no tracking information is available for that order.
At Shuffle & Cut Games we take the utmost care to insure your cards are properly packaged and shipped on their way in a timely manner. All items purchased from ShuffleAndCut.com are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to the carrier. Once your package leaves our hands, we assume no responsibility for the safe delivery of uninsured packages.
Any taxes, duties, or fees related to your order are your responsibility. Please check with your local government if you are unsure if your order will be taxed by them or at what rate they will tax it. Complaints about the amount you have to pay in taxes should also be directed toward your government, as we play no role in setting those rates.
Any requests for us to put a lower amount on the package will be ignored. For multiple reasons, we must put the full value of the package on the package.
If your order is delayed, please check with your customs department. 99% of the time an international package is delayed or lost, is it actually in customs, and they are waiting for you to contact them.
Any packages sent back to us because they did not clear customs or were refused will be issued a store credit for the amount of the cards ordered (not including our shipping costs) less a 15% restocking fee.
It is not possible to add cards to an order, as the order is finalized when payment is made. Please be sure you have ordered all of the cards you wish to order before making your payment.
If you wish to order more cards after you have made your payment, you will need to place another order for them.
All orders are charged shipping on a per order basis. This means once you check out, the order is placed and shipping is charged. Doing it again will cause the cart to charge you shipping a second time.
Any unshipped order may be canceled for a 15% handling fee ($3.00 minimum fee) by emailing us. Once an item has been shipped, it can not be canceled.
You are an International customer, placing a large, first-time Credit Card order, or your order was placed via Paypal, which is not allowed for large international orders. You will need to go through a verification process in this case. Please check your email for details on how to verify your account.
You are placing a large order with a Credit Card or PayPal and are attempting to ship it to a non-billing or non-confirmed address. You may need to go through a verification process - please check your email for details on how to verify your account.
There is an error in your stated address or other information you have provided us.
In these cases, orders will be held for 10 days from the day we e-mail you back. At the end of 10 days, if the email has not been responded to, we reserve the right to treat the order as though it is canceled, in which case it may be refunded, minus a 15% ($3.00 minimum) handling fee.
If you have not yet sent payment, don't. There is no need to inform us you will not be sending payment. If you have already sent payment, we will allow you to change the contents of the order, but it cannot be canceled entirely.
We are extremely conscious to make sure that every card we ship stated as NM condition is actually in NM condition. That said, very rarely something may slip past our grader that is not in the stated condition. If you feel that the condition of the cards you have received significantly differs from what our Grading Chart outlines, please feel free to contact us with your concerns so we may address them. Usually we will ask you to send back misgraded cards for our inspection. If we agree with your assessment, we will replace the cards at our expense.
If you are a collector, and require cards in a hand picked condition, feel free to call us at 562-694-9500 or email us before placing your order so we may better serve you (an additional charge for hand picked cards will apply).
Our orders all are checked and double checked for accuracy, and we almost never have a problem with incorrect orders or missing cards. However, if you feel something you ordered was missing or incorrectly filled, please contact us immediately upon receipt so we may address the issue.
Because the secondary singles market tends to be rather volatile, there is usually very little we can do, unfortunately. We always attempt to ship the cards out quickly so that you will still "want them" by the time they arrive. If you feel you have a legitimate reason for wanting a refund on an order, you are always free to call or write us and ask, but all refunds are done solely at our discretion.
The pictures shown for each item are for informational and textual purposes only, and are not of the specific card you will receive in the order.
Sometimes the cart won't appear or function correctly because you have your Internet Browser security settings set too high. In order for the cart to function, it must be able to utilize cookies on your browser. You may want to drop your preferences just a bit, enough to allow the cart to appear and accept items into it. In Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Privacy and set to "Medium".
A card in Near Mint condition should look very clean, though may or may not have some minor flaws on the edges, corners, or surface. The vast majority of cards we sell will fall into this category.
A played card may show anywhere from slight to moderate signs of playwear, including but not limited to, whitening on the edges or surface, dings, chips, scratches, pro-tour stamps or other flaws. Most cards we list in this category are very close to NM, although others do have noticeable play.
A heavily played card can have heavy playwear (heavy whitening of the surface and/or all four edges). It may or may not have damage, including but not limited to, moderate bends, creases, writing or other pen marks, or other significant flaws.
Cards that are heavily played are not eligible to be returned due to condition of the card.
A Poor card will either be extremely played and/or have heavy damage. Anything goes, though we do guarantee you will be able to identify the card.
Cards that are in poor condition are not eligible to be returned due to condition of the card.
We first reduce any people that have ordered more than a playset of a card down to one playset.
Preference is then given to orders that automatically generate an invoice in the ShuffleAndCut.com system over orders that we have to put in manually.
Still tied orders are ordered according to shipping method: Express Mail first, then Priority Mail, then First Class mail.
Additionally, we reserve the right to limit the quantity of an individual item purchased to two (2) playsets for any game, regardless of how many our site may let you put in your cart.
Occasionally, we will offer an item in advance of the date it is released. When this occurs, we call it a "presale."
Any orders with one or more presale items will have their entire order held until the date the presale items are released.
If you wish the non-presale items to ship right away, you will need to make two separate orders (one containing presale items, and the other containing non-presale items) and pay shipping twice.
You will be charged for presale items when you order them.
The currency converter is not supported any more. You will want to clear the cookies and cache in your browser to return the display to US Dollars.
If you wish to know the exact amount you will be charged in your local currency, please contact your bank to ask for the exchange rate that they will apply to this transaction.
Also, an error may occur with the converter that shows the prices for one currency as 0. Note that you will be charged the price shown in US Dollars, regardless of what any other currency may show. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 391 |
Download R-Linux Data Recovery and File Undelete for Linux & Windows – Sometimes, we accidentally delete certain files. Deleting this can mean deletion operations, or overwrite (overwrite), or delete part of the contents of the file intentionally or unintentionally. Well, it turns out there are ways to do recovery on these files. You just need to download and install R-Linux. It is one of the best data recovery apps for Linux and fortunately this software also available for Windows OS.
Basically, there are two basic Linux commands used, namely grep and dd. First, we need to search with certain search keys using the grep command. Here's an example of the command: sudo grep -a -b "search-key-here" / dev / sda1. The -a parameter means that the search is carried out with the assumption that the file type sought is a text file. The second parameter -b is used to display the byte offset that will be used in the next command. The third parameter is the search key that you must adjust to the search key that you are doing. Finally, / dev / sda1 is the name of the hard drive partition where the file is located.
However, since these tips are too much for some people, we think that it's better for you to use software whenever you want to recover data. Here is a way to restore deleted data on PC by using the application. The data recovery application works similar to the way the Recycle Bin works on a computer in general. This app is one of the best applications that can be used to restore accidentally deleted files on your device. This app is also very easy to use thanks to the user-friendly interface. If you check on the internet, there are many reviews that said this app is very great to recover data on Linux and Windows. This is why we recommend you.
Here's how to use this data recovery software to restore deleted data on your PC device.
The first thing you need to do is download this application and then install it.
Open R-Linux and select the menu in the left sidebar.
After that, select the "Recycle Bin" section and then tap to activate it.
Now, if you want to restore deleted files, you only need to tap the Recycle Bin from the left sidebar and this application will bring up all the files that you have deleted. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 392 |

Q: Best way to access a database I'm relatively new to Java. I'm tinkering with a small program which uses a JFrame with a few fields to query and insert into a database.
I currently have a class which does nothing but creates the database connection. From there, I have other classes which perform the SELECT or INSERT database functions. Each of these starts by creating a new object for the database connection class. The connection does get closed when finished.
Being new to this, I just wanted to see if this was the best way to access the database, ie: creating and closing a brand new connection each time a button is pressed. It performs the task needed, but if there's a more efficient or sensible way to do this I'd love to know.
I can provide whatever code you may need to see. Thanks!
A: Usual way to access database from java is connection pool. I recommend you this one: http://jolbox.com/
In you database interaction code you simply creates connection from pool (actually it borrows connection from the pool) and after requests simply close connection (actually it returns connection to the pool).
public class DAO {
private final DataSource ds;
public void foo(...) {
Connection connection = ds.getConnection();
try {
// do work there
} finally {
connection.close();
}
}
}
public class MainPanel extends JPanel {
private final DAO dao;
public MainPanel(DAO dao) {
this.dao = dao;
}
// ...
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Class.forName("org.hsqldb.jdbcDriver");
BoneCPDataSource ds = new BoneCPDataSource();
ds.setJdbcUrl("jdbc:hsqldb:mem:test");
ds.setUsername("sa");
ds.setPassword("");
DAO dao = new DAO(ds);
MainPanel mainPanel = new MainPanel(dao);
// ...
}
}
A: You can create a connection once and then use it how many times you want. There are two standard ways to do it: singleton and dependency injection. Since singleton is usually not a good solution for multiple reasons, I'd stick with a dependency injection.
Here we go.
*
*Database class (pseudo-code):
public class Database implements Closeable {
private final DBConnection connection;
public Database(String url, String db, String user, String password) {
// TODO: establish connection
}
// TOOD implement methods for working with DB, for example:
public void add(String foo, String bar) {
// TODO
}
@Override
public void close() throws IOException {
connection.close();
}
}
*GUI working with database:
public class GUI extends JPanel {
private Database db;
public GUI(Database db) {
this.db = db;
}
// TODO implement GUI, use `db` to access the database
}
*Initialize the application:
public static void main(String[] args) {
Database db = new Database(...);
GUI gui = new GUI(db);
// TODO: create JFrame, add GUI to it
}
This might be used for most of the cases. For more complicated or long-running software, where database connection is not used all the time (or you need more of them), it might be better to actually close connection when it's not used etc. For such case, use connection pool as shown by Denis Borovikov: https://stackoverflow.com/a/29395796/2709026

Boy grows up on an insular cult compound in Montana. Boy meets girl from the other side of the fence. Big love, big sky.
Check out the unboxing video.
What do boys really want? Lita blogs about it on her anonymous blog, while her best friend Adam decides to put the answers in a best-selling book. Funny things happen.
The Big Crunch is a love story, pure and simple. Well, okay, maybe not so pure and simple. It's about a year-long romance without vampires, dragons, secret societies, mysterious grandparents, unexplained deaths, violent psychopaths, drug addicts, or elves. I am putting all my elves in another book. Seriously, I am.
Rash is set in the USSA (United Safer States of America) circa 2074, where french fries, football, and fighting are illegal, Bo Marsten must learn to live within the rules. He fails, and is sentenced to five years of making pizzas for McDonalds in a prison camp located near the arctic circle. There are polar bears.
Dougie Hanson is the kid everybody loves to hate, but why? Dougie can't figure it out. He thinks there must be something wrong with them.
"I'm not only disturbed, I'm obsessed."
Godless won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature in 2004. It's about some teens who start their own religion worshipping a water tower.
Godless is not what you think it is.
Sweetblood is a vampire novel...only not really. It's the only "vampire novel" I know of that has no supernatural or science-fictional elements.
Also, here's an essay I wrote about the genesis of Sweetblood.
The first book in The Klaatu Diskos trilogy. Tucker Feye sees his father disappear and all sorts of freaky stuff happens.
This was my first "YA" novel. I'm putting it up here by The Obsidian Blade because the two books are loosely connected. Both are time travel stories, both feature time-and-space portals, and both have a character named "Mr. Boggs."
Think of it as Shane set in a modern day high school, with motorcycles instead of horses, tasers instead of revolvers, and a five-foot-nothing Haitian-American overdresser named Mikey in place of Brandon De Wilde.
This book didn't win anything. Can you believe it?
I love this book. It's about a fifteen-year-old girl who steals cars. Ever see Gone in 60 Seconds? Ever play Grand Theft Auto?
It's nothing like that at all.
No Limit is about a teen named Dennis Doyle who discovered within himself a talent for winning at poker.
A deadly Flu virus has ravaged the earth. Of those infected, only one in two thousand lives, and those who do—the "Survivors"—are forever changed. | {'redpajama_set_name': 'RedPajamaC4'} | 399 |
