Gridiron Recruiting: RB Dontae Strickland
Justin Roe
No matter what has been happening in terms of wins and losses over the last 15 or so years for the Syracuse football team, one area where the Orange have remained consistently solid is at runningback. Thousand yard rushers have become pretty commonplace at Syracuse, and the Orange football staff may have their next dynamic back in Dontae Strickland.
Prospect Info:
#3 RB Dontae Strickland – South Brunswick, New Jersey – South Brunswick High School
6'0, 185lbs
Offers from – Syracuse, Georgia Tech, West Virginia, Rutgers, Virginia, Wake Forest, Indiana, Temple, UMass,
http://www.hudl.com/athlete/424922/highlights/187598384
We've talked before about how important it is for Syracuse to recruit the state of New Jersey. Back when Syracuse was at the top of the Big East, former head coach Paul Pasqualoni had a regular presence in the Garden State. Flash back to June 7th, 2014; assistant coach Bobby Acosta showed his New Jersey prowess when the #1 running back in the state of New Jersey, Dontae Strickland, committed to the Orange. With the Orange grabbing two highly recruited prospects (with the hopes of grabbing two more), Dontae Strickland was an important get. In looking at Dontae's highlight tape, I'm blown away by his stats. Dontae averaged 11.8 yards per carry, but only averaged 10 rushing attempts and 1 reception per game. Now, it's important to know that when you're in a Wing T offense like Dontae, carries need to be spread around a couple of different backs, but there's no excuse for an athlete like Dontae to only touch the ball 11 times per game. When you have an athlete that has a chance to "house it" whenever he touches the ball, you feed the machine. Dontae has great size at the running back position and shows great speed when getting away from defenders. While there is no published 40 time for Dontae, its apparent he shows exceptional speed, and accelerates quickly after planting his foot in the ground. Dontae shows us in this video that he has potential to see playing time for the Orange immediately in the fall.
Let's take a look at some highlights from Dontae Strickland.
:31 mark – APB – All.Purpose.Back. What does it really mean? There are some people who think all-purpose means someone who can carry the rock and catch balls out of the backfield, enabling them to stay on the field for any offensive situation. While they aren't wrong, I tend to think certain skills make a running back an all-purpose back. What are those skills? Vision, strength, acceleration, and speed. As the balls is snapped, we see a cross block between the left tackle and tight end, often used to create a bigger gap for the running back to run through into the second level of the defense. We also see motion from the other running back to set up option. This gives the outside linebacker something else to account for, which could bring another defender outside the box, creating a mismatch for Dontae as he is handed the ball for what looks to be a 35 read option (Dontae being the 3 back, with the cross-block intending to open up the five hole for him, and the QB having the option if the defenders flow inside). Now that we've broken down what the play is, let's look at how Dontae uses what I called earlier are the skills that make an all-purpose back.
Vision – He sees the defensive end and linebacker have the left side of the line sealed, and also sees his right guard engaged with his defender, leaving a small hole. He plants his outside foot and makes his way towards the hole, picking the right angle so the unblocked right-defensive end can't get to him cleanly in the backfield.
Strength – As he approaches the small hole, he is met by the unblocked defensive end that gets two hands on him, but Dontae possesses excellent strength to get through that arm tackle. He is then met by a defensive tackle who disengages from the offensive lineman, but Dontae keeps his hips low and feet moving to power through defender. This shows Dontae is a potentially powerful runner.
Acceleration – As Dontae runs through the missed tackles, we see him start to straighten his torso (what we see throughout the tape as he accelerates). He gets through a small opening to start his burst and attempt to beat 4 defenders to the end zone.
Speed – As his torso and body become more upright, the jets kick in, and he is on his way to pay-dirt. He shows impressive speed to get away from the defense and pulls away very nicely. Like a sprinter on a track making his way from low to high on starting blocks, when Dontae kicks his speed into second gear, we see this motion that allows him to pull away from the defense.
Like I said above… All.Purpose.Back.
2:06 mark – An important trait for a running back to possess is the ability to keep his feet moving when they absorb contact. This allows you to get more yards after contact, and can even help when getting tackled if you can keep your feet moving and fall forward. We saw this trait exceptionally well with former Syracuse running backs Jerome Smith and Delone Carter. On this play, Dontae takes the pitch and tries to get to the outside. When the linebacker cuts off the outside lane, Dontae is forced to cut up towards the middle of the field. When he does this, he is met by defenders who are running to the ball. Upon contact, we see Dontae bend his knees and bring his shoulders down lower to the ground. He is met by a good thud brought with the defender, but he keeps his feet vigorously chopping, which allows him to run through two defenders to get into the end zone. When running the ball in the red zone, it's very important to possess the trait of keeping your feet moving and staying low. It's how you church out positive yards. Dontae shows great strength throughout the highlight in playing behind his pads and not taking big hits while running the ball. It's very important for a running back to have so he stays in the field.
3:15 mark – If you blink, you may miss why this is such an important highlight. When coming around on a buck sweep, or any play that brings you outside the tackle box, many players fall into the habit of trying to use pure speed to out run anyone. Now if you are Chris Johnson in your prime, that may work out quite nicely. For most players though, outrunning your blockers is a deadly vice for a running back. When Dontae receives the pitch on this play, you see him bow his run backward for two very quick steps. This two-step bowing motion allows his blocker to get just enough of the defender to create a positive angle for the runner. Dontae bowing his run out is a way of allowing the block to get set before he tries to accelerate up field. Once he sees that his block is there, Dontae gets vertical and is off to the races. When in the open field, he is a long stride runner and shows that quick acceleration and great speed. As you can see on the tape, he has a quick safety that is chasing him down with a sound angle. Unfortunately for the defense, there wasn't an angle that could be taken to keep up with Dontae's great speed.
We also see something that Dontae needs to work on in this play. Throughout the highlight, Dontae holds the ball away from his body when near defenders trying for the tackle. If you watched any NFL football this season, it's a very similar ball holding style to Demarco Murray from the Dallas Cowboys. When you hold the ball away from our body, you can be prone to fumbles being caused by defenders who are trailers on the play. Dontae needs to make sure the ball is being tucked into his body and being cradled into his bicep.
4:58 mark – Again, Dontae does a tremendous job at waiting for his blocks to develop. He slows down his momentum and heads towards he sideline until he sees daylight. Once the hole opens up, he plants his foot in the ground and is off to the races. He runs a little high for my liking, but it doesn't affect him negatively at the moment. When he cuts, he stays low and powerful, showing very good "one-cut" burst.
5:18 mark – This is probably my favorite play of Dontae's highlight. Upon receiving the handoff, Dontae stays horizontal towards the sideline waiting for the hole to open up. He is keeping his eyes downfield, which helps him easily set up his next move. One he sees daylight; he starts to get vertical into the second level. He sees the linebacker approaching and sets him up perfectly to leave him in a cloud of dust. While the linebacker is pursuing, Dontae says diagonal. Once the linebacker puts weight on his outside foot while stepping towards the outside, Dontae plants and is gone like he was shot out of a rocket launcher. Donate then shows great vision and bounces the run to the outside again to take it to the house for 6 points. It's a play like this that shows how Dontae has a plethora of moves at his disposal. He doesn't overthink what's in front of him or what he's doing with the ball. He relies on instinct and ability to set himself free in the open field.
Final Analysis
Strengths – Dontae is truly a back that can stay on the field for 3 downs a series. He possesses the skills you want in a complete running back. His defensive highlight shows he has great hands, his special team highlights show his already exceptional vision, and he shows great power/speed/acceleration in his highlight tape. If he can stay healthy, he could be an all-star for the Orange.
Areas of Improvements – Dontae runs high, which could cause him back issues in getting hit at the second level. He needs to make sure he is in open space before turning into his long-stride motion that he relies on to separate himself from defenders. He also needs to work on cradling the ball a bit better, as stronger players at the next level of football could make him fumble the ball more than he would like. I think Dontae also needs to work on his lower body strength. He looks well put together from the waist up, but could become thicker from the waist down. Once he gets into a strength and conditioning program, there is no reason why he can't become a 6'0, 205lb running back who you don't want to take off the field. Strengthening the lower body will also make Dontae more difficult to tackle and faster in the open field.
In conclusion, while Dontae's composite ranking is a 3 star running back; there is one recruiting site that has Dontae as a 4 star player. He shows a lot on his highlight tape that makes you believe he could be a potential stud at the next level. When you have a talent who you don't want to take off the field, there are many reasons to be excited. With the loss of Prince-Tyson Gulley, there is a starting running back position open for Syracuse. After underwhelming seasons by believed incumbents George Morris and Devante McFarlane, Dontae could find himself competing for immediate playing time for Syracuse as a true freshman. One thing is for sure; Dontae and his New Jersey swagger will have the opportunity to show the coaching staff he has what it takes to be a producer from day one.

Q: how skip some specific files in multiple subfolders in matlab? I need to skip some specific files in different sub-folders. So I tried by line "if filename"  in the snippet that if the filename not contains raw, info, do some operations, but it doesn't work. I really appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction how can I skip these filenames which does have specific character like "raw" or "info."..
input_dirName = dir('D:\Neda\Pytorch\CAMUS\training\');
Output_dirName = 'D:\Neda\Pytorch\CAMUS\data\';
GT_dirName =  'D:\Neda\Pytorch\CAMUS\GT\';

dirName = 'D:\Neda\Pytorch\CAMUS\training\';
fileList = SureScan_getAllFiles(dirName);

foldername = fullfile({input_dirName.folder}, {input_dirName.name});
foldername = foldername(3:end);

for k = 1:length(fileList)-50

filename = fileList{k};

if filename ~= contains(filename,'raw') | filename ~= contains(filename,'Info_') | filename ~= contains(filename,'sequence.mhd')| filename ~=contains(filename,'_sequence')

% do some operation
end
end

A: The output of contains is either true or false and hence it will never be equal to any filename.
To skip filenames that have any of 'raw', 'Info_', 'sequence.mhd' or '_sequence', use:
if ~contains(filename, {'raw', 'Info_', 'sequence.mhd', '_sequence'})
   %do some operation
end

First of all I would like to thank you all No life people like me that you all are gathered here to create Awesomeness.
This one is a very first project i will be posting.
Disclaimer :- you will be responsible for your own actions.
well its always awesome to achieve wireless electricity right??
Here is what you need to make one for yourself.
2.28-32 Gauge many around 250M Enameled copper wire.
6.Few Resistors, Caps and UFDiodes.
Lets start with a complex part. Start winding the secondary wire to the PVC pipe from either side. And by secondary i mean the 30AWG wire. It will gonna take hours but it will look awesome when is finished. DO around 1000 turns tape it totally so it wont move. keep both ends open for now.
Next you must wind the Primary that is the thick wire around the secondary, it must be insulated. 5-6 turns are enough.
Plug the top end of secondary to a round surface covered with foil. Do check if it is going below the winding, it must not.
Now time for the Power part. The driver circuit.
Here is the schematic you must do on your board.
Make the circuit on a General purpose board, or Breadboard.
Give it the Power. And Voila!! you will have your own Slayer Exciter. Awesome right??
U can build the circuit on multisim and the paste it in Microsoft office o paint . Nice work though.
Can i use the TV picture tube magnet wire. I guess its 32 gauge. .. Every thing ok . But where is the spark gap? we do not need the spark gap on this projects? which resistance can use?

10 Good Manga That Needs an Anime Series
By Emily Auten Updated Apr 9, 2018 09:55 AM EDT
Like many heroes in American comic books, series start out on the pages and eventually make it to the big or small screen in the form of live action films, Netflix originals, or animated cartoons. In Japan, it isn't much different. Many beloved anime begin as good manga, or comics that publish in magazines and book volumes. Although a manga's success is highly dependent on if it will eventually be animated, some very great series have never gotten a show that they deserve. The list below covers 10 great manga series that should eventually get an anime adaptation in the future.
So, here are 10 good manga that needs an anime series:
Note: The series listed here are just a fraction of the many manga that deserve an anime, especially older titles.
1. Psyren
Shounen Jump is known for publishing some of best known manga in Japan, including the "big three", One Piece, Naruto, and Bleach. Besides the big three, Shounen Jump has released many memorable titles featuring action packed scenes, memorable characters, and long-running plot lines. Psyren, a SJ manga that ran from 2007-2010 in 16 volumes is a fan favorite that surprisingly does not have a show, or even an animated feature film. In Psyren, a teenager is selected to participate in "Psyern games", in which those who are chosen must fight to get back to their world. Giving off a definite dystopian death game vibe that has been present in many series the past few years, Psyern would definitely be a good candidate for the next new animated show.
2. Noblesse
Manhwa, or manga-style comics produced in China or Korea, have been gaining popularity in the Japanese/anime world. Noblesse, one of the most popular manhwa/web toons, follows a noble figure who wakes up centuries later in modern times, having to deal with new technology and school life, all while uncovering his mysterious past. The series has gained quite a following online, and it has even received an animated movie that released this February. However, many fans expressed that they would like to see Noblesse as a full length animation. Hopefully with the success of the movie this can be a possibility.
3. Horimiya
Published by Square Enix, Horimiya is a delightful school life romantic comedy featuring two characters who are very different than they appear to be in day-to-day life. Hori, a high school girl, takes care of her brother in her parent's absence, having a nonexistent social life. However, no one knows her secret, assuming she's a normal girl. One day she meets Miyamura, a strange glasses-wearing student who also has "another life". It's really interesting how the series depicts the struggles of teenage years, all while presenting a fantastic story. With shoujo comics are getting more adaptations, Horimiya definitely deserves a spot one day.
4. DOUBT series
Rabbit Doubt, a mafia-like cell phone game, becomes part of real life when six participants must find the "wolf" among a "herd of rabbits" or be killed off one-by-one. Although this genre is overdone to an extent, Doubt offers an interesting spin that isn't too generic or predictable. Besides this, death game anime have been popular, so it is surprising that this popular comic hasn't seen a small screen adaptation. It's also important to note that Doubt is a series, with a sequel called Judge. This offers plenty of content for at least a 12 or 24 episode anime.
5. 7 Seeds
One of the most popular manga in Japan, 7seeds is set in a post-apocalyptic universe due to a meteor crash into the earth. After waking up from being cryogenically frozen, groups of young adults and one trained survivalist must decide how to survive in the new world with animals and creatures that have evolved, facing threats every day. The relationships between the characters are a great point of the series, as well as the setting and narrative. 7seeds currently has 30 volumes of good manga and is still ongoing, making it a great candidate for a long series.
6. Cage of Eden
After a plane crash on an uncharted island, middle school students in Cage Of Eden find themselves in a predicament. They are are in a land with no rules, government, and deadly prehistoric animals out for blood. Akira, the protagonist of the story, is very interesting and is different than the generic shounen hero. Instead of having a special power or being "exceptional", he considers himself worthless. However, when faced with many situations, Akira is brave and levelheaded, saving several lives throughout the course of a story. Cage of Eden would be a good show due to its action packed scenes. It's also complete, so the entire manga story could be adapted. Hopefully one day this good manga series will get the anime it deserves.
7. Oresama Teacher
Not your typical shoujo manga, Oresama Teacher follows the life of Mafuyu Kurosaki, a delinquent girl who's notorious for fighting gang members and leaders. However, she is in trouble and threatened to be disowned by her mother after being caught by the police. She is forced to go to a new school and become a member of the "public morals club". Adding to the mix, Mafuyu's childhood friend, a former delinquent, is now her homeroom teacher. This makes for an interesting storytelling experience. Since comedy shoujo anime are a great addition to animation lineups filled with serious, and often edgy plots, Oresama Teacher would be an awesome break from the usual show. Despite being in publication since 2007, Oresama Teacher has never gotten an adaptation.
8. Kiss Him, Not Me
Update: An anime has been announced!
Fujoshi, a common name for girls and women who are obsessed with homosexual romance stories in manga and anime, is a term that is common in Japanese and anime culture today. Usually used jokingly or to mock others, women who are fujoshis fawn over male characters, often imagining or fantasizing about them being in various romantic situations. However, what if there was a story about one? This comedy/parody follows Kae Serinuma, a fujoshi who loses a bunch of weight after her favorite character dies. Once friendless, she now has a harem of boys following her, longing for her affections.
However, in the true nature of a fujoshi, she literally wants them to be together, hence the title. Although this series sounds shallow, it has some depth to it. Not only does it shed light on typical shoujo stereotypes, it can be analyzed in a variety of ways. Although some of the boys are shallow/close-minded and only wanted Kae when she was "skinny", there are a few students who like her for how she is, no matter what her size, which is truly admirable and progressive in some ways. Every page is laugh out loud funny, and it's exciting that an anime was recently announced. Because it has been confirmed so close to the writing of the list, it's the only exception to the established rules.
9. Itsuwaribito
Utsuho, a troublemaker, was raised by monks after unfortunate events in his childhood. However, he decides to travel the world to use "talents for mischief, and deception for good" (Wikipedia).He has several unique skills, ranging from medical aid to combat proficiency. The story is very unique, with a vibrant cast of characters and interesting situations and a morally gray main character. To this date, it is finished with 23 volumes and ran from 2009-2013. Walking into Barnes and Noble, one would find nearly the entire series in the manga section, proving it's popularity. For now, there is no plans of an adaptation, but we can only hope for the future.
10. High School Debut
Although there are a few shoujo manga on this list, one of the ones that has surprisingly not received much recognition is High School Debut, a charming story about a tomboyish girl who goes to great lengths to find a boyfriend. Literally reading Cosmo-like magazines, she takes fashion tips that usually end in awkwardness and disaster. However, she meets one of the cutest boys (but also reserved) in school, he agrees to be her romance coach, helping her get dates. Not only is the series hilarious, it explores high school life, desperation for that storybook romance, and falling in love. Although the main character can be over-dramatic, this series has enough charm to receive a tv spot.

Q: Running multiple queries on linked servers with sqlalchemy There are ~150 linked servers and I have to run a query in each linked server. I have to run this as fast as I can.
The way I'm doing today:
def get():
    p = Pool(20)
    stores_sales = p.starmap(function, parameters)
    p.close()

def funtion(parameters):
    engine = create_engine(connString)
    connection = engine.connect()
    session = sessionmaker(bind=self.engine)
    connection.execute(query)
    connection.invalidate()

The problem is that TI guys still want that we make less connections. If we reduce the number of pool (from 20 to 10, for example) we lose a lot of performance if we do that.
I'd like to know if there is a way to run theses queries in parallel using one connection? Or if you have any other suggestion?

When you skate in New York, it's all about getting creative, and fourteen-year-old Dylan Crow considers himself a street artist. You won't catch him tagging alley walls. Instead, he paints the streets with his board. He wants to be seen grinding rails in Brooklyn, doing ollies at the Chelsea Piers, and launching kickflips in Manhattan. But when Dylan starts running with the wrong crowd, his future quickly becomes a lot less certain . . . until he discovers a new destiny.
The shot came fast and silent. It struck the chosen target with maximum force and velocity. A clean hit. Well, as clean as a saliva-drenched spit wad could be.
Thwap! Mr. Greenberg slapped at the back of his neck. He wiped the warm, moist piece of notebook paper from his hairline. The Spanish teacher's nostrils flared. His top lip curled. He spun around from the whiteboard to face his class of freshman students. They had started laughing uncontrollably.
Dylan! the teacher growled, eyeing the young man in the back row of the classroom.
The fourteen-year-old boy looked up without fear.
Dylan's blond hair shadowed most of his face, covering his high cheekbones and strong jaw. "It's Slider, Señor Greenberg," he answered.
His name was actually Dylan Crow. The nickname didn't come from his smooth skateboarding moves as Dylan liked to pretend. It came from his ability to slide out of trouble — at least most of the time.
Not in this class, Mr. Crow, said the teacher. Besides, I'm more concerned with who shot that spitball at me.
Just then, a red and white straw fell out of Slider's coat pocket and onto the classroom floor.
Busted, Mr. Greenberg said with a grin.
Slider stood and nodded, acknowledging his fate.
Dylan, one of these days you're going to be faced with a decision, the Spanish teacher added. You're either going to straighten up and do what's right, or you'll continue down this road and crash and burn. It's your choice. Now get out of my classroom!
As Slider gathered up his books, the girl sitting next to him leaned over. You're not going to the office, are you? she whispered.
Slider looked up at her and grinned.
She was his best friend in the whole world. Smart and fun, not to mention cute. Five feet tall, caramel complexion, and sandy-blond hair that Dylan imagined would feel like the inside of his favorite cotton hoodie.
Slider smiled as he picked up his bag. I'll meet you at the mall after school, he said.
How did I know? she said, returning a smirk.
She was right. At least once a week, Dylan got kicked out of class on purpose. He didn't need a reason to leave.
Try not to get into any more trouble, okay? Juliet added.
Hey, said Dylan. Staying out of trouble is my specialty.
Now, Slider! Mr. Greenberg barked, holding up the hall pass.
Dylan snatched the paper from the Spanish teacher's hand. He slid out of the classroom and into his element.
A moment later, Slider opened his locker. Inside, his skateboard sat crammed between never-opened textbooks, crumpled sheets of notebook paper, and stacks of detention slips.
Slider grabbed the front truck of the board between his fingers. He snatched the deck out of the mess.
He threw the board onto the floor, hopped on, and kicked toward the school's front entrance.
Hasta la vista! he shouted, speeding past the Spanish classroom, out the school's front exit, and onto the streets of NYC.
Outside, on the rugged concrete, Slider learned all the lessons he needed. Here, he was in total control of everything around him. He was good at this subject. Really good.
Dylan had grown up in foster care, popping in and out of other people's lives, never really fitting in with any of them. School was a chore. He had to make new friends every few years — if he was lucky enough to stick it out with a family that long.
At first, Dylan would always try to behave. But eventually he'd screw up somehow, and the family would kick him back into the foster system.
Each family was another roll of the dice. Maybe this time, Slider thought. Maybe I'll actually be with a family that gives a crap.
Finding a family got harder and harder as he got older. Parents-to-be wanted babies to mold. They didn't want D+ students who shoplifted pastries and broke open parking meters for arcade money.
Besides uncertainty, only one thing had ever been constant in Dylan's life. His foster brother Mikey.
Mikey was older — nearly seventeen — and he looked out for Slider. They'd been placed with the same family several times and formed a bond. If anyone picked on Slider, they had to deal with his big bro.


After I had the chance to interview Courtney Trop of Always Judging, I wondered about her specific morning and nighttime routine. I figured, as an influencer with a huge following (and low-maintenance attitude toward most things), she must have a curated collection of favorites that really work. And guess what. I was right.
We had Trop take over our Instagram, and she went through each and every step—from her go-to cleanser and serums to her redness-reducing secrets. We listed out each product she mentioned, with links to buy and reasons she (and we) love them for good measure. Below, find your new favorite products with an editor and influencer stamp of approval.
After waking up, the first thing Trop does is ice her face for one minute to tighten, reduce pore size, and de-puff her face. This technique has been long practiced (we've all heard of applying a refrigerated spoon or cucumber slices on our eyes), but there's actually science behind it. When you apply ice to your skin, it causes blood to rise to the surface (imparting that rosy glow you'll notice afterward), which soothes and tightens your skin. It can also work to reduce inflammation if you're having an especially gnarly breakout.
Right now, Trop's go-to cleanser is Youth to the People Superfood Antioxidant Cleanser ($36), which offers up cold-pressed kale, spinach, and green tea. Each ingredient works together to infuse your skin with antioxidants, phytonutrients, and vitamins C, E, and K. Post-cleanse, your skin will feel soothed, cooled, and conditioned.
Trop uses this mask as a spot treatment for breakouts, but it can also work as a full-face mask if you have oily or congested skin. The zinc, bentonite, and sulfur blend balances oil, reduces swelling, calms irritation, and can even reduce inflammation caused by acne, rosacea, insect bites, or waxing.
Trop has been using this hydrating serum for eight years, proving its effectiveness in spades. The formula is designed to sink into your skin as quickly and deeply as possible, imparting a blend of Australian berries including pepperberry, riberry, and muntries to retain moisture and support your skin's natural barrier, as well as hyaluronic acid and coconut extract. It's made specifically for those with sensitive or eczema-prone skin, so it won't irritate or cause redness.
According to one of our favorite estheticians, Renée Rouleau, the most important anti-aging product is sunscreen. Apparently, Trop agrees, as she offers up two of her favorite formulas. The first, from SkinCeuticals, provides broad-spectrum sun protection as well as a universal tint to enhance your skin's glow.
Glossier's serum-like, transparent sunscreen comes in a water-gel formula for those who hate the feeling or look of traditional physical sunscreen. Though it is a chemical sunscreen, it does help to prevent sun damage and neutralize harmful free radicals with no greasy residue.
Fortified with Azelaic acid found in grains, the formula brightens the overall appearance of skin tone, as well as improving skin's texture. Blemishes and areas of uneven pigmentation are visibly reduced. Working as an antioxidant, the suspension leaves the complexion visibly bright and uniform.
This is an Amazon favorite, as it's made to support healthy skin function, rejuvenate collagen, and help reduce fine lines and wrinkles—and all you have to do it spray it on and let it soak in.
Azelaic acid is produced naturally by yeast that lives on your skin, and, in this formula, it works to brighten, clear up and prevent breakups, and help maintain an even skin tone. As such, it's a great option for smoothing acne scars.
A budget-friendly cream modeled after the iconic La Mer formula, Glossier's nighttime moisturizer packs ceramides, fatty acids, a red algae complex, and murumuru butter, all of which serve to hydrate the skin and protect its moisture barrier. It's super rich and smells like lavender.
Trop uses two eye serums, making sure to delicately tap them on rather than rubbing to protect the thin skin beneath her eyes. This one from Tatcha, a mix of red algae and green tea, firms, reduces fine lines, and nixes puffiness.
Brimming with amino acids to nourish, fortify, and smooth, Verso's eye serum also offers up a potent dose of retinol to help firm and soften crow's-feet without the irritating effects of traditional retinol formulas.
Trop alternates between serums and facial oils at night based on what she feels her skin needs in that moment. SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense ($98) uses 3% tranexamic acid to minimize the recurrence of discoloration, 1% kojic acid to boost your skin's brightness, 5% niacinamide (which is vitamin B3) to further reduce skin discoloration, and 5% hepes, which activates natural enzymes in your skin to help break the bonds that bind dead skin cells to the surface for a thorough, even exfoliation.
In fact, in a 12-week clinical trial, participants noticed an average improvement of 60% in the appearance of their stubborn brown patches. It's a favorite among Byrdie editors as well, both myself and our editorial director, Faith, use it each night before bed.
Purslane and skullcap, the brand's signature ingredients, target inflammation, which is one of the key causes of aging. This serum is great for before travel or exposure to the sun, wind, or even excessive air-conditioning, as it'll prevent inflammation from happening in the first place. It offers up hyaluronic acid, antioxidants, and protection from free radicals.
This foaming mask works to purify your pores, lifting out dirt and toxins and locking in moisture, and Trop uses it to keep breakouts at bay. It offers vitamin C, soy protein, and sweet almond oil to brighten, cleanse, and soothe your skin all at once.
An exfoliating, smoothing, and brightening blend of 6% glycolic and 2% lactic acids boosts your skin's clarity and balance, sloughing away dead skin cells and improving the texture and tone of your skin after just one use.
Trop, along with our assistant editor Erin, is a huge fan of the anti-aging, tightening properties of the Hanacure mask. After applying the treatment and letting it sit for 30 minutes, you'll remove it and reveal rosy, toned, super-smooth skin.
FYI: Here are the hydrating masks that will take your winter skin on vacation.


One of two Grand Concert 12-strings offered within Taylor's 300 Series, the cutaway 352ce features sapele back and sides paired with a Sitka spruce top. The lap-friendly body is a welcome antidote to the bigger body styles traditionally used for 12-strings; the result is more physically accessible option, especially with the 12-fret neck and slightly condensed 24-7/8-inch scale length.
The smaller body makes it easy to set the strings in motion, and sonically, the controlled acoustic voice won't overpower a mix, making it a wonderful choice for adding 12-string texture to a recording or accompanying other instruments live. Compared to the mahogany-top 362ce, this spruce-top edition will tend to produce a slightly brighter sound, with appealing dynamic range and crisp articulation.
Taylor's onboard ES2 electronics capture all that natural 12-string detail for amplified playing applications. The guitar comes with a Taylor deluxe hardshell case.

OPUWO, 15 DEC (NAMPA) – Various churches in Opuwo have committed to cleaning the regional capital every second month.
This was revealed to Nampa during an interview with Mayor Albert Tjiuma on Monday following a clean-up campaign at the town last week.
The Opuwo Christian Church, Church of the Nazarene, Uniting Reformed Church, Fill the Gap Ministries, Apostles, Followers of Christ and members of other churches participated in the clean-up.
Pastor Safoomundu Kalusha Petrus told Nampa they came together as churches and thought of cleaning the town as part of their social responsibility.
"We also thought that it will convince other members in society to do the same," Petrus added.
According to Tjiuma the dirtiest areas in Opuwo are the Otuzemba and Ouranda settlements and the Epupa informal market.
Tjiuma said residents need to be made aware of how dangerous it is to live in unhygienic surroundings.
Health Inspector at the Opuwo District Hospital, Barbara Kahiha blamed the situation on the town council.
"There is no waste management plan in the Opuwo Town Council and there are no adequate dust bins," Kahiha told this news agency.
She also said the dump site is not fenced resulting in dirt being blown back into town by the wind.
Commenting on the Epupa informal market which according to Tjiuma is one of the dirtiest areas in Opuwo, Kahiha said there is a need for a fully-facilitated open market where vendors can trade.
"We don't have public toilets in this town resulting in people sitting everywhere when nature calls," a worried Kahiha said.
Asked to comment on the allegations, Tjiuma said the town council is planning to buy 200 dustbins to be distributed in the Otuzemba settlement and that plans are underway to sensitise the community on the health risks of living in an unhygienic environment.

Modification and Validation of the DREIDING Force Field for Molecular Liquid Simulations (DREIDING-UT).

https://dx.doi.org/10.1021/acs.jcim.0c01169
In this study, we modified Lennard-Jones (LJ) parameters and point-charge parameters of the DREIDING force field (the modified force-field model is named DREIDING-UT). While the original LJ parameters of DREIDING were derived through an analytical formula to reproduce the potential depths and the equilibrium lengths of the Buckingham potentials of DREIDING/X6, the modified LJ parameters were derived through the least square fitting of the Buckingham potentials. Because the Gasteiger-Marsili (GM) charges of the original DREIDING underestimated electrostatic interactions, we replaced it with the restrained electrostatic potential (RESP) charges calculated from the ab initio wavefunctions, taking the dynamic electron correlation and solvation effects into account. To confirm how the modified force field works, we conducted molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of typical liquids. It was found that the densities and self-diffusion coefficients of the DREIDING-UT model agreed with the experimental ones much better than those of the original model.

South African Police Issue 'Red Alert' To Stop Grace Mugabe From Leaving
African News News
18 August 2017 African News News
Police in South Africa have issued a red alert to stop Zimbabwe's first lady, Grace Mugabe, from leaving the country after she was accused of assaulting a model at a hotel in Johannesburg.
The African News Agency (ANA) reported that South Africa's police minister, Fikile Mbalula, had ordered border staff to prevent Mugabe from leaving until the matter was resolved.
Speaking to reporters in Pretoria on Thursday, Mbalula said: "We have already put tabs in the borders in relation to her leaving the country so there is no question about that. The red alert has been put."
The move comes after Mugabe – the wife of the 93-year-old Zimbabwean president, Robert Mugabe – failed to appear in court to face charges of assault. Robert Mugabe travelled to Pretoria on Wednesday night in an apparent attempt to help his wife, arriving early for a summit of regional leaders.
Grace Mugabe, 52, is accused of attacking 20-year-old Gabriella Engels with an electrical extension cord after the model went to see the Mugabes' sons Robert and Chatunga at the Capital 20 West hotel in Johannesburg's upmarket Sandton district on Sunday.
On Wednesday it was reported that Grace Mugabe may already have returned to Zimbabwe, but Mbalula insisted she had not tried to leave the country.
South African police said Harare had since requested "diplomatic immunity cover".
"She has her own version of the events … It is for our investigators who have the case and to engage with her to come and answer in relation to this matter," Mbalula told ANA.
He said police had to treat her differently from an "ordinary person" because of her diplomatic status. "If it was somebody else, in relation with being a suspect … we could have long moved and raided on her in terms of the issues," said Mbalula.
Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe
Pictures posted on social media after the alleged assault appeared to show a cut to Engels' forehead. She claimed to have more injuries on the back of her head.
"We were chilling in a hotel room, and [the sons] were in the room next door. She came in and started hitting us. She flipped and just kept beating me with the plug, over and over," Engels told local media.
The South African model said she had no clue who her attacker was until the alleged assault was over. She had "no idea what was going on … I was surprised. I had to crawl out of the room before I could run away," she said.
Accusing the first lady's bodyguards of standing by and watching during the alleged assault, Engels said: "The front of my forehead is busted open. I'm a model and I make my money based on my looks."
Engels has been offered legal help by Gerrie Nel, a lawyer who prosecuted Oscar Pistorius for murder.
Nel told reporters there was a "possibility of political interference" in the case. He said diplomatic immunity could not be used to "escape prosecution from grave crimes".

Motherhood, Breastfeeding May Affect Long-Term Weight
TUESDAY, July 10 (HealthDay News) — How many children a woman bears and whether or not she breastfeeds them may affect her weight decades later, according to new research.
Childbearing is linked with an increased risk of obesity, but breastfeeding cuts that risk by about 1 percent for every six months of nursing, the researchers found.
"Women who are in their childbearing years can take from our and other research that breastfeeding is good for them and their children and that the benefits for their own health may be extremely long-lasting," said researcher Kirsty Bobrow, a clinical researcher at the University of Oxford in England.
The study is published July 10 in the International Journal of Obesity.
While the reduction in body mass index (BMI) associated with breastfeeding is small for an individual woman, it is substantial in terms of obesity-related diseases across the population, Bobrow said. BMI is a measurement of body size based on height and weight.
For the study, Bobrow and her colleagues evaluated information on about 740,000 postmenopausal women participating in Britain's Million Women Study between 1996 and 2001. Their average age was 58.
All reported their height, weight, childbearing history and other data. They also answered questions about breastfeeding.
Average BMI inched upward with the number of children a woman had, the researchers found. (A normal BMI is 18.5 to 24.9. A BMI of 30 or more is considered obese.)
Among those who had no children, average BMI was 25.6 — slightly overweight. For women with four or more deliveries, average BMI was 27.2.
Among the women who had given birth, 70 percent had breastfed and did so for an average of 7.7 months. The researchers found that for every six months of breastfeeding, average BMI was about 1 percent lower. They called this a "relatively small, but important, persistent reduction."
The study doesn't prove that breastfeeding will make you slimmer; it merely shows an association between the two. However, the link held even when the researchers took into account smoking, physical activity and other factors that can affect weight.
Researchers have several hypotheses about why breastfeeding helps control weight over the long term. One is the so-called "reset" hypothesis, Bobrow said. It says that breastfeeding "may be involved in re-setting various metabolic control centers in the brain after childbirth," Bobrow explained.
Erica Gunderson, a research scientist with the Kaiser Permanente Northern California division of research in Oakland, Calif., said the research is unique partly because of the many women studied. "This type of cross-sectional study has never been accomplished with this sample size," she said.
That's a definite strength of the research, she noted. But it would have been helpful to know the women's BMI earlier in life, she added.
For women who have not yet given birth, the study suggests that it's important to consider breastfeeding and to ask your doctor how much weight you should gain.
Getting advice about nutrition is a good idea, too, Gunderson said. "When you get pregnant, get very good advice about what to eat," she suggested.
To learn more about breast-feeding, visit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Environmental conditions are perfect for being outside, which is why we're so excited that Bryant Park's Winter Village is opening this weekend around the corner! Host to the best ice rink in the city (enormous enough to accomodate mini-olympians and wall-clingers alike), and dozens of boutique vendors peddling everything from cheeky holiday cards to delicate jewelry to ornate persian rugs. Its charm draws tourists and locals alike and for that we love it. So go and mingle amidst the holiday spirit and when you're worn out from shopping or twirling (or falling) or strolling, sneak around the corner for a drink up top. See you soon!

i feel (and many others feel) that this game is unike, and awesome (maybe because it has almost NO ads) but it does need some work here and there... but besides that, one of the best time killer games ever made. P.S if you have lag or "too many ads" just turn on airplane mode.
The game is actually very addictive, it's also still very fun to play! I would give five stars. There are ads, but I just turn on airplane mode. Suggestion - I've played all levels...until level 25. If you manage to get there (like me), you can't play level 26. Soooo...why not make a creator contest where a player can click the locked levels, the game will take said players to an editor. When finished, those players can submit their levels for a chance to have their levels in the main game.
It's a fun game but for the levels on my game the 7th level there's a part were it doesn't switch to the right color and you go through the blocks and you lose. Its been happening every time I get to that part of the level and I hope you could fix it

Arya Jeipea on "our existence is our truth"
This is part of a series of interviews in celebration of #PrideMonth and as part of the #VisibleWikiWomen campaign.
Arya Jeipea Karijo, Kenyan trans gender woman feminist and activist. Image by Arya Jeipea Karijo, CC BY-SA 4.0, via Wikimedia Commons.
Is the content you find online affirming to your multiple selves? What is the role that Wikipedia and other online platforms play in telling the stories of trans people and their communities? How can we create trans feminist and intersectional memory online?
In this episode, Kenyan transgender activist and feminist Arya Jeipea Karijo, guides us through a fascinating path of unraveling the complexities of online representation of trans people from marginalized communities.
Starting from her own personal quest for affirming content at a young age, Arya ended up in the radical stance of recognizing that her own embodied experience and positionalty are knowledges.
"My lived reality is also knowledge, and this was a big difference from the point I was figuring out my identity, because I was seeking knowledge from outside […] but also it can be the other way around."
But these forms of knowledges are hardly recognized as such. Historically — Arya sustains —, trans people in Africa have been portrayed through the lens of colonizers and their anthropological account of trans people is the one that has prevailed as "legitimate" published knowledge. As a result, current online public knowledge platforms such as Wikipedia, reproduce those dominant colonial perspectives, and fail to put trans people's embodied experience at the center of knowledge production:
"I think the first draft of a Wikipedia article should come from the people living the reality, after that, editing could take place. But that whole idea that [an article] doesn't exist until the skewed sources are mentioning us, I think that's wrong, because those skewed sources will make sure our existence is erased."
Owning our narratives also serves to make our communities more visible online, continues Arya. Visibility is crucial because it counteracts this dominant and monolithic narrative of the world where difference is not celebrated but is persecuted and feared.
"Visibility is important not just for me as a trans woman or for younger people who are trying to figure themselves out […], it is important for the world to become a more humane world, difference is part of being human."
Indeed, Arya reminds us that when we live in a world where truth is being challenged, our own existence is our truth.

VOD film review: The Big Short
Condescending financial explanations
The Big Short is a patronising, awkward and uneven comedy about the financial crisis. And, against all the odds, that's a good thing.
Ivan Radford | On 16, May 2016
Cast: Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Brad Pitt
Watch The Big Short online in the UK: Netflix UK / iTunes / Prime Video (Buy/Rent) / TalkTalk TV / Rakuten TV / Google Play / Sky Store
What are the odds that someone would make a piece of light entertainment about the US housing market crash? What are the odds that it would be a comedy? And what are the odds, even then, that it would be funny, accurate and nominated for multiple Oscars?
It's the kind of thing only a madman would bet on. Fortunately, Adam McKay's The Big Short is full of them. Top of the list is Michael Burry (Bale), a fund manager who calculates that the American economy is about to collapse. Soon, Mark Baum (Carrell), a bitter trader determined to prove Wall Street wrong at any cost, has caught wind of the same thing, thanks to a tip-off from smooth-talking Jared Vennett (Gosling). Add in a couple of rich-kid entrepreneurs, helped by a retired banker (Pitt), and you have a pack of people all gambling against the market.
Their logic? Banks have been loaning out mortgages to people who can't afford them, which means that the bonds made up of them being flogged around are destined to crumble. Shorting them – betting against them – is not only a chance to get one up on the banks, but also to get rich.
Lost yet? That's OK, because The Big Short isn't afraid to explain the maths behind it. In fact, the film regularly pauses the action to spell it out for you like you're an idiot monkey, roping in celebrity guests to spout increasingly ludicrous analogies. You might not know what a subprime mortgage is, the film decides, but you do understand the sight of Margot Robbie in a bathtub. It's an inspired move, turning the movie's explicit exposition into a joke itself; The Big Short is condescending, but it looks down on itself for it.
That smugness is part and parcel of the film's carefully judged tone. It's angry, but amusing. It's dumb, but smart. Look back through Adam McKay's CV and you'll find The Other Guys, a silly buddy cop flick that ended with a stack of Wall Street stats – it's not so surprising, then, that he's returned to the same territory with equal rage. (Alongside The Wolf of Wall Street, 99 Homes and Margin Call, The Big Short marks a modern triple-bill of films all outraged at the property market's fraud.) How intentional was the deception? McKay's screenplay, co-written with Charles "Moneyball" Randolph, stuffs the screen full of stupid middlemen and women, who are only too happy to rack in the cash without question and pass the buck up the corrupt chain of power.
"Why are they confessing?" cries Carell's crusader, after interviewing two hapless estate agents. "They're not," comes the reply. "They're bragging."
There's a delightful skewering of that attitude towards money that defined the boom period before the bust, right down to the slicked hair and sharp suits. Between the set and costume design, it's almost like watching a period piece, but one that's still painfully modern. Suddenly, you can see why The Academy admired such a production.
The cast are all excellent at pretending they know what's going on. Carell, despite his dodgy wig, provides the emotional heart the film needs, as he struggles to comprehend that money isn't everything, but it's Bale's anti-social nerd who brings the believability; sitting at his computer, shut off from the world, it's telling that he's the one who spotted the problem, because he's nothing like the money-men surrounding him. Gosling, meanwhile, blurs moral boundaries as much as he breaks the fourth wall, daring us to be charmed but reminding us that nobody in the story is a good guy (although it's hard not to have a soft spot for the wonderful Rafe Spall as Nobu-loving trader Danny Moses).
The result is deliberately troublesome – a caper with no pay-off, a comedy with an unhappy punchline. Unemployment, unsold homes, austerity. Those aren't laughing matters. So even when we see the little people win, it still feels like we've lost – an uncomfortable sensation that exactly sums up where the world is at. (From the UK to Dubai and Singapore, housing markets are still introducing mortgage caps to try and prevent another bubble bursting.) It's not easy to pull that trick off, but McKay does it with confidence, treating his audience like simpletons just so they can grasp what happened almost 10 years ago. You'll finish watching convinced you understand Wall Street – but more importantly, you'll finish watching annoyed. Michael Moore meets South Park, The Big Short is patronising, awkward and uneven. And, against all the odds, that's a good thing.
The Big Short is available on Netflix UK, as part of an £8.99 monthly subscription. It is also available to watch online on Amazon Prime Video as part of a £5.99 monthly subscription.

The Boston Bruins have won four of their first five games this season as they travel to take on the Calgary Flames tonight. Can Boston record another victory tonight in a game listed as a pick'em on the moneyline by oddsmakers?
Compare odds from multiple different online sportsbooks and shop for the best lines at our Hockey Odds & Betting Page Odds & Betting Page.
According to oddsmakers at BetNow.eu, the Bruins and Flames are both listed at -110 on the moneyline. The total is set at 6 goals. As of Wednesday afternoon, 78 percent of public bets are being placed on visiting Boston. Check out our NHL Public Betting Page for the latest information.
Boston built a 4-0 lead through two periods en route to an impressive 8-2 victory Saturday at home versus the lowly Red Wings. Jake DeBrusk had two goals in the triumph, while David Pastrnak did him one better with a hat trick. Anders Bjork recorded a goal and an assist. Sean Kuraly and Charlie McAvoy each scored a goal. Patrice Bergeron dished out three assists, while David Krejci along with Brad Marchand and Brandon Carlo all registered two assists. Tuukka Rask made 32 saves on 34 shots to pick up the win.
Calgary improved to 3-2-0 on the season with a 3-2 overtime victory at Colorado. Johnny Gaudreau scored the game-winner with his second goal of the season 46 seconds into overtime. Sean Monahan and T.J. Brodie assisted on the goal. Sam Bennett pulled the Flames to within 2-1 in the second period, while Calgary tied it at 2-2 with 1:54 remaining in the third on a score by Elias Lindholm. Mikael Backlund and Michael Stone dished out assists. David Rittich made 24 saves on 26 shots to pick up the win.
The Bruins have won four games in a row. The over is 8-1-3 in the last 12 Boston games following a win.
The Flames are 3-13 in their last 16 Wednesday games. Calgary is 1-4 in the last five meetings.
Boston looks strong in the early going, but faces a tough test here on the road far away from home. Calgary has a strong home atmosphere, starting goalie Mike Smith will be in goal and the Flames are looking like a formidable squad so far this season. I'm going to go with the Flames to end the four-game win streak of the Bruins.

Miley Cyrus Will Win You Over With Her Wedding Dress
What Will Miley Cyrus's Wedding Dress Look Like?
December 26, 2018 by Sarah Wasilak
I don't know for sure when or if Miley Cyrus is getting married, and neither do you. While Billy Ray Cyrus posted a photo that had everyone buzzing that she and Liam Hemsworth tied the knot last year, it wasn't so. Maybe right now, Miley isn't even thinking about marriage, though she does wear what appears to be a promise ring. But in my imaginary world, she'll walk down the aisle in a pretty spectacular wedding dress.
You see, ever since I was young, I looked at Miley as someone who represented versatility. She played two different characters on Hannah Montana, and my younger sister plastered posters of Miley all over her walls, some in which she was dressed up like Hannah, others in which she was just herself in jeans and a three-quarter-sleeved tee. But even when she was just being Miley, the actress and singer looked unique and a little bit quirky.
She's gone through many stages, but there has never been a time when Miley's paid attention to trends. During her rise to fame, she wore flares and cowboy boots, maybe because they were representative of where she came from: Franklin, TN. Post-breakup with Liam Hemsworth (the two have now rekindled their relationship), Miley kind of went HAM with her wardrobe. And I liked it. What she wore, or didn't wear, was all a part of her personal revolution.
I'm Ringing In 2019 in Miley Cyrus's Sexy, Plunging SNL Dress — Mark My Words
Miley's style could at one point be described as costume like. She dressed as a twerking teddy bear and supported LGBT rights in rainbows and big, furry coats. Then, at the 2015 Met Gala, the industry's elite gathered on the red carpet, but Miley stood alone in a cutout Alexander Wang gown. It ended up on some "worst dressed" lists, but I think it was my favorite outfit of the night. It didn't seem like Miley was trying to appear sexy or edgy but just to look like herself.
So now, as outsiders speculate on whether Miley and Liam are getting hitched soon, I can't help but imagine her would-be bridal look. I doubt Miley's wedding dress will be all white. It might be neon or a mix of colors or come with an inflatable skirt. Maybe it'll be plain black, if her recent wardrobe is any indication. Miley might not wear a wedding dress at all, should she get married. Maybe she'll go naked. She did reveal on the Today show that she prefers to stay out of the fashion conversation: "I don't want people to talk about what I'm wearing. That's usually why I don't wear too much," she said.
One thing's for sure: if Miley gets married, her look won't include a ballgown so glamorous that everyone focuses on the pretty (or crazy!) details. They won't be talking about The Dress, because god knows it won't be wearing her. It'll be all about Miley. Read on to see why we know Miley will hit it out of the park on her special day.

Authentic leadership comes from inside - a place where logic meets emotion, where people connect with people, where character is contagious, strategy is simple, and people believe they are making a difference and are changing the world they live in.
Criminals quaked at the name The Secret 6. And for four glorious issues, this team of six crimefighters took on some of the weirdest and most fantastic antogonists that ever reared their heads in the pulp magazines. It was where weird menace met six normal men with no strange gadgets or outlandish skills. But after four issues, the over-the-top action came to an end and Popular Publications pulled the plug on the series. These vintage pulp tales are now reissued for today's listeners as audiobooks.

SEATTLE—There was a revealing moment the other night, after the resounding "no" vote from Boeing's Machinists, when Gov. Jay Inslee was asked if he respected the decision they'd made.
Who is this "us"? Because the people who build the planes didn't feel it included them.
I'm not trying to be overly flip here. This answer from Inslee — his implication that he didn't respect the workers for their decision — goes a long way to explaining why the rank-and-file Machinists were so put off by this entire exercise that it ended in a debacle.
After the vote I talked to or corresponded with a dozen Machinists. As might be expected, they hold widely varying opinions on the contract they were just offered (some thought it OK, some hated it), on Boeing (some love the place, some don't trust it) and on politics (most vote Democratic, a few said they're more conservative or don't care). All were exasperated at their dysfunctional union leadership, for "setting us up to fail," as one said. And they were left feeling "disrespected" — not so much by Boeing as, surprisingly, Inslee, Sen. Patty Murray and the rest of the political class in the state.
HUNTSVILLE, ALA. — State and local leaders are working to lure a Boeing Co. aircraft assembly plant to the Huntsville area, which already has a heavy technological and engineering base.
Gov. Robert Bentley, Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle and economic developers met Tuesday in Birmingham with representatives of the aircraft manufacturer.
Battle said Huntsville is one of several cities being considered for a 777X assembly site, and Bentley said the company likes Alabama.
Boeing said it would consider a new location to build the airplane after union members rejected a proposed contract in Seattle last week.
A gubernatorial aide in Washington state has said that state will likely get competition from places including Alabama, where unions have less of a foothold.

Q: Is it possible to create a spring-boot custom parent pom this is also a multi module project? I would like to know how to set up a parent pom that handles my spring-boot dependencies as well as builds a few client jars.
Parent Project
|- client-jar-1
|  |- src/main/java/MyPojo.java
|  |- pom.xml (parent super pom? <package> type is jar)
|- pom.xml (parent is spring-boot-starter-parent <package> type is pom)

Child Project
|- pom.xml (parent pom is custom parent-project, includes client-jar-1 as a dependency)

My thought process is the the parent project can handle common dependencies across multiple independent spring applications and also build a few custom client jars or utility jars, that the child project could include at their own discretion.
Here is my first attempt at my pom files:

In my Child project when I try and access the client-jar-1 MyPojo I get a compilation error. Here is the expanded dependency from the child project

I can even get my IDE to import the MyPojo class, but there is a problem with the packages and it can't truly resolve the class.

A: Yes it is possible, in your parent pom add :
<modules>
    <module>child1</module>
    <module>child2</module>
</modules>

And in your child1 and child2 pom add :
<parent>
    <groupId>yourorganization</groupId>
    <artifactId>parent</artifactId>
</parent>

The parent pom will contain the spring-boot-starter-parent

Q: Unable to toggle between two CSS styles I'm trying to implement a dropbox menu for a project I'm working on. I've tried to follow this method down below, but I am running into issues.
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/tryit.asp?filename=tryhow_css_js_dropdown
Below is my javascript code where it uses it adds an event listener to the button. For context, MenuView consists of a button, a div that contains two input fields, and an unordered list to view the menu items.
MenuView.prototype.initEvents = function() {
    console.log('initEvents MenuView');
    /* When the user clicks on the button,
    toggle between hiding and showing the dropdown content */
    document.getElementById("dropbtn").addEventListener("click", function() {
        console.log('Showing menu');
        document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList.toggle("show");
        console.log(document.getElementById("myDropdown").classList);
    }, false);

    // Close the dropdown menu if the user clicks outside of it
    window.onclick = function(event) {
      if (!event.target.matches('.dropbtn')) {
        var dropdowns = document.getElementsByClassName("dropdown-content");
        var i;
        for (i = 0; i < dropdowns.length; i++) {
          var openDropdown = dropdowns[i];
          if (openDropdown.classList.contains('show')) {
            openDropdown.classList.remove('show');
          }
        }
      }
    }
}

The following is the output to the console when the button is pressed:
DOMTokenList(2) ["dropdown-content", "show", value: "dropdown-content show"]

CSS
/* Dropdown Button */
#dropbtn {
  background-color: #3498DB;
  color: white;
  padding: 16px;
  font-size: 16px;
  border: none;
  cursor: pointer;
}

/* Dropdown button on hover & focus */
#dropbtn:hover, #dropbtn:focus {
  background-color: #2980B9;
}

/* The container
 - needed to position the dropdown content */
#menuView {
  display: inline-block;
  background-color: white;
  margin-left: 10px;
  margin-top: 40px;
  z-index: 0;
  position: sticky; /* Allocates space for the element, but moves it with you when you scroll */
  position: -webkit-sticky;
  top: 0; /* specifies the start position for the sticky behavior - 0 is pretty common */
}

/* Dropdown Content (Hidden by Default) */
.dropdown-content {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #f1f1f1;
  min-width: 160px;
  box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  z-index: 200;
}

/* Links inside the dropdown */
.dropdown-content div ul{
  color: black;
  padding: 12px 16px;
  text-decoration: none;
  display: block;
}

/* Change color of dropdown links on hover */
.dropdown-content div ul:hover {background-color: #ddd}

/* Show the dropdown menu (use JS to add this class to the .dropdown-content container when the user clicks on the dropdown button) */
.show {
    display:inline-block;
}

I've tried different combinations of my CSS and I have no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You Are Here: About Us >> Being Shepherds - Where We Serve January 20, 2021
One of the unique things about Good Shepherd is that each one in our community is in some way a "shepherd". We are called to reach beyond ourselves, to serve those both in and outside our parish community. Our ministries are not separate from our lives but both life and ministry merge into one. We are individuals who have made our way to Good Shepherd Parish where together we worship and offer support to each other as we continue our journey and continue our ministry to be "shepherds" to others.
These ministries take many forms and touch all parts of God's creation. Some of these ministries are more public – serving in the parish, in one of the many non-profit organizations, or in medical and psychiatric fields. Others are hidden- in our daily prayers and contact with others in our families and neighborhoods, in caring for the environment, and providing love and companionship for abandoned and abused animals. When possible, the parish as a community provides financial assistance to small non-profit organizations to help them in their ministry.
Below are just a few of the organizations where you can find Good Shepherd members serving and some of the organizations we support. We invite you to come and be part of our community and a shepherd for all God created.
Without passing judgment, and in a spirit of love and hospitality, Loaves & Fishes feeds the hungry and shelters the homeless. We provide an oasis of welcome, safety, and cleanliness for homeless men, women and children seeking survival services.
Francis House Center
Francis House Center is a soulful place that provides assistance, mentoring and resources for Sacramento's homeless community.
Starcross Community
Starcross is a small autonomous community of lay people trying to live quiet lives in the monastic tradition and offering encouragement and affirmation to gentle folk on all spiritual paths. We attempt to lead a prayerful, monastic life and to be one of the many presences in the world affirming the value of compassion for all. We have responded as we could to the individual needs of the suffering and the struggling, particularly children.

Amir and collaborators receive best paper award!
With the use of many integrated smart devices, an app-driven home environment is now a reality. But this young technology faces many new challenges, in particular, how users grant apps permissions to operations on devices. Prompting user for permission to every individual operation can cause usability issues (too many approval prompts) while grouping permissions by, say, function or device can cause an app to be too powerful and become a future security or privacy risk.
To remedy this, Prof. Amir Rahmati and his collaborators from Michigan have proposed Tyche, a safer app permissions system for smart homes and the Internet of Things. Their paper on this project, "Tyche: A Risk-Based Permission Model for Smart Homes," received a Best Paper Award at the IEEE Cybersecurity Development Conference.
Currently, app permission models are inspired by smartphone operating systems – permission levels that group access to different operations by either device or by functionality. For example, in device-level grouping, an app that needs to only monitor battery status of a door lock is also granted dangerous permissions to lock and unlock the door. In function-level grouping, an app designed to automatically lock all doors at night may also get rights to more dangerous permissions to unlock the doors. At the other extreme, users can be prompted for each individual permission, but that can cause user annoyance or users ignoring the prompts and approving everything.
The researchers presented the paper at the 2018 IEEE SECDEV Conference in Cambridge, Massachusetts on October 2.
