Do you ever wake up in the morning and see a deal that makes you want to scream for the rooftops and tell everyone how great it is? No? Just me? Well, today I woke up to several incredible deals on Amazon that I just have to share. Right now there are incredible prices on things like robot vacuums, essential oil diffusers, and tax software—you know, the things you actually want to buy. We've been price tracking popular products for a while now, so we know when something is a good deal like these ones we found today.
Vacuuming is arguably the worst chore. Not only do you need to pick up your floors beforehand to do so, but you need to do it every single day if you really want your floors clean. Thankfully, robot vacuums exist to keep things nice and tidy before deeper cleanings, and right now you can get a Eufy Robovac 11+ for just $117 if you clip the coupon code below the price. That's frankly insane an insane price for any robot vacuum, especially for one we like.
Essential oils almost immediately make your space feel more zen. With scents like eucalyptus and lavender, how can you not feel just a little more relaxed? To waft these smells throughout your home, you're going to need an essential oil diffuser, and this one from InnoGear is the best essential oil diffuser we've ever tested. This version is a bit smaller than our favorite, but it's should still last up to 8 hours and glows seven fun colors to create a nice ambiance. Right now, you can get it for its lowest price.
Duct tape is something you don't think you need until you actually need it, which is why you should always have it on hand. You can use it to quickly patch something up until you actually get around to repairing it much, much later. After testing some of the strongest duck tapes on the market, we gave Duck Tape Max Strength our Best Value award. We loved that it's good for light-to-moderate tasks at a reasonable price. Right now, it's even more affordable at the lowest price we've ever seen.
I love having a super bright flashlight on hand. They're essential for any emergency like when the power goes out or you're just walking the dog late at night. To really get your money's worth out of a compact flashlight, you're going to want one that's bright but still affordable. This one from Anker is the upgraded version of our favorite affordable flashlight, the LC40 ($19.99 on Amazon), and has all the same features we love, like a tough, waterproof exterior, bight lights, and a rechargeable battery. But the LC90 is also zoomable and has 900 lumens, which is more than double the brightness.
Get the Anker Bolder LC90 Rechargeable Flashlight on Amazon for $20.50 (Save $7.49) with the code "ANKERLF8"

Georgia Tech Falls to Maryland, 61-50
Box Score | Quotes
Follow Georgia Tech Basketball on Twitter
COLLEGE PARK, Md. (AP) – Sean Mosley scored 18 points Sunday to lead Maryland past Georgia Tech 61-50 for its second straight conference win.
The Yellow Jackets (8-9, 1-2 ACC), bidding to win their second straight road game in the ACC, got a team-high 11 points from Kammeon Holsey but lost for the fifth time in six games. Tech returns home to host 16th-ranked Virginia Thursday night at Philips Arena.
Daniel Miller and Jason Morris added eight points apiece for the Jackets.
Maryland prevailed in the defensive battle in which both teams shot under 34 percent, but the Terps hit 6-of-14 threes and went 19-of-23 from the free throw line.
Mosley scored all but two of his points in the second half, and was 10 of 10 from the foul line, as he led Maryland (12-4, 2-1) to its ninth win in 10 games. He went just 3-of-8 from the floor, but one of those was a 3-point basket from well beyond the arc at the 2:36 mark after Tech had closed to within 54-50.
Terrell Stoglin, the ACC's leading scorer, added 14 points for the Terrapins. He had seven points in a row during an early second-half run and scored in double figures for the 15th time this season. James Padgett scored 14 points and led Maryland with nine rebounds.
Maryland has beaten Georgia Tech (8-9, 1-2) in 11 straight regular-season games, the only loss since 2004 coming in the 2010 conference tournament.
Nick Faust also played a big role for Maryland, converting three steals into layups. The first of those conversions came at the end of the first half and gave Maryland a 24-19 lead.
The Yellow Jackets' 19 points were their lowest output in a half this season.
Kammeon Holsey scored 11 points to lead Georgia Tech, which has lost five of its last six games.
Georgia Tech blocked nine Maryland shots, holding the Terps to 33.3 percent (18 of 54) shooting, but shot poorly from the field itself, making just 33.9 percent (19 of 56), including only 3 of 17 3-point tries.
Stoglin started despite his sore back. His four-point play early in the second half – a 3-point basket and free throw – and his 3-pointer that preceded it started a 9-2 run that ended with Maryland leading 36-26 with 16:30 to play.
Both teams struggled in the first half, with Maryland making more free throws (8 of 9) than field goals (7 of 27, 25.9 percent), while the Yellow Jackets shot 24.1 percent (7 of 29) and were 2 of 10 behind the arc. Maryland had nine turnovers and Georgia Tech seven.
Faust's layup at the end of the half completed a 6-0 Maryland closing run in which Padgett and Mosley each hit a pair of free throws. Georgia Tech failed to score in the final 4 1/2 minutes of the half.

For many companies, IoT-enabled asset tracking and monitoring is the Holy Grail of their digital transformation initiatives, enabling them to streamline supply chain operations, accelerate product delivery times, avoid supply chain and delivery bottlenecks, reduce damage to assets, optimize inventories, prevent theft and even adopt usage-based "equipment-as-a-service" business models. Yet, when these companies try to actually build and deploy IoT asset monitoring applications, they have often been frustrated.
The infrastructure needed to test, commercialize and scale these applications requires many different types of expertise—in IoT device hardware, wireless networking, embedded software, wireless connectivity, back-end cloud software, IoT protocols and cybersecurity—that are difficult for these companies to acquire. This complexity makes it very difficult for companies to focus on building innovative new applications, as they have to devote significant resources to building out their own IoT infrastructure from scratch.
In addition, companies find that this complexity makes it difficult for them to scale proof of concept IoT applications from a few types of devices in one geographic area to thousands of different types of devices located around the world. In building their own infrastructure, they also have to build their own connections to different ERP, CRM and other business applications if they hope to fully realize the value of these applications. This disconnect between proofs of concept and scalable, production applications that can be easily connected to on-premises or cloud-based business applications is one of the main reasons so many IoT asset monitoring projects have stalled or been abandoned.
However, at MWC Barcelona last month, HCL Technologies and Sierra Wireless demoed an IoT beer tap demo to showcase how Sierra Wireless' recently previewed device-to-cloud (D2C) data orchestration platform, OctaveTM, finally provides companies with the platform they need to easily develop, rapidly commercialize, globally scale and quickly connect IoT applications to their IT infrastructure.
Connected over the Sierra Wireless LTE-M LPWA cellular network, the demo included mangOH Red open source hardware and the Octave platform to securely extract, orchestrate and act on data collected at the edge and integrated into the SAP Cloud Platform.
Real-time monitoring of data collected by sensors attached to the keg provides answers to key questions, such as – has the keg been opened, is the beer cold enough, how much beer has been consumed, does the brewery know when a refill is needed and is the brewery invoicing only for the beer consumed – enabling an exact pour every time and the ability to replace the keg before customers are waiting.
From the point of view of companies looking to launch their own IoT initiatives, the most important characteristic of this IoT beer tap demo is that all the elements required to move it into production are already in place. Using Octave, HCL was able to quickly connect mangOH to the beer dispenser, an LPWA cellular network, the cloud, the SAP business application and even a blockchain ledger in just a few hours. In addition, this system could be scaled globally with only a few modifications.
Octave, in combination with mangOH, makes it simple for companies to pilot, put into production and scale applications to monitor their assets securely – without requiring development teams to acquire or hire for IoT device hardware, wireless connectivity or other highly specialized skillsets. With Octave, companies can focus on building applications beneficial for their core business instead of building IoT infrastructure from scratch.
Octave provides the entire IoT infrastructure, everything from the device to the network, and enables the complete orchestration of data, from the assets at the edge to the enterprise applications, whether in the cloud or on-premises. It enables the integration of IoT application data into ERP, CRM, data analytics and other business applications, while also enhancing the functionality and value of this data with blockchain. In the case of the MWC demo, for example, data on the dispenser's location – whether a keg is in the dispenser, the amount of beer in the keg and the temperature of the beer in the keg – is integrated into the cloud-based SAP business application, and attendees were able to view this data via a monitor in the booth. The chain of custody for the data is also established using blockchain. A key benefit of adding this connectivity to containers is that companies can track whether an asset has been opened or used, so they can invoice immediately, rather than waiting for months as is necessary with current billing strategies.
The demo also showed how Octave can make these applications more powerful, adaptable, secure and cost-effective by eliminating much of the complexity around securely extracting, orchestrating and acting on data from edge devices, as well as the complexity related to sending the right data from these devices at the right time to cloud-based business applications.
Start with Sierra to learn more about how Sierra's Octave D2C data orchestration platform can help you reimagine your future with IoT applications and accelerate the time to market for making that future a reality.

Fifth-year Francis Penafiel was named Player of the Game for Capilano in her final game with the Blues. Photo courtesy the CCAA.
The 2017-18 season came to a close for the Capilano University Blues women's basketball team on Saturday morning, as they fell 83-66 to the Collège Montmorency Nomades in the bronze semifinal at the CCAA Nationals hosted by Mount Allison University in Sackville, NB. CapU finishes the tournament in 5/6th place, as no game is played between the teams who lose in the bronze semifinals. The winners advance to the consolation final later that day.
Montmorency came out quickly, as if making a statement after their tough loss to Humber the night before. However, their 10-2 advantage out of the gate was erased by the determined squad from Capilano, who squared it at 15 with a run of their own. MoMo was able to get the ball down low to Torres and Ibata-Pondza to take advantage of mismatches against the smaller Capilano guards, and Montmorency led at the half 26-17.
The Nomades put on a full-court press to open the second, pressuring the ball and creating offence from turnovers. The Blues called timeout to regroup. Unable to consistently get the ball inside, Capilano attempted to get back in the game with mid- and long-rang shots, but points were hard to come by. The Blues shot 11% from the three-point line, compared with the Nomades' 33%. MoMo stretched their lead to 19 at the half, 46-27.
The Blues came out with more energy in the third, but sustained pressure from the Quebec squad prevented Capilano from making much headway in the third. When a last second 3 by Jael Kabunda from just over half dropped, the Nomades had a 66-42 lead and Capilano seemed deflated.
They weren't. Although the Nomades stretched the lead to 29, the Blues never gave up. Sparked by outside shooting from Dela Cruz and Dosanjh, Capilano pulled within 12 with two minutes left. It was a valiant effort, but the seasoned Montmorency team controlled the game to the final buzzer, thereby earning a spot in the Bronze medal game against MSVU with an 83-67 victory.
Top scorers for MoMo were Andrea Torres and Juliette Gauthier, 12 each, Ibata-Pondza, with 8. The Blues were led by Simrat Dosanjh who made four three-pointers en route to 13 points, and fifth-year forward Carmelle M'Bikata who tallied 12 points. Francis Penafiel had 11 points, five rebounds, three steals and two assists, and was named Capilano's Player of the Game. Ashley dela Cruz Yip also had nine points and nine assists in her final game with the Blues. Each of Capilano's three graduating fifth-years -- Penafiel, M'Bikata, and dela Cruz Yip -- earned Player of the Game honours at the tournament.


Finn Erling Kydland (born 1 December 1943) is a Norwegian economist. He is the Henley Professor of Economics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He also holds the Richard P. Simmons Distinguished Professorship at the Tepper School of Business of Carnegie Mellon University, where he earned his Ph.D., and a part-time position at the Norwegian School of Economics (NHH). Kydland was a co-recipient of the 2004 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics, with Edward C. Prescott, "for their contributions to dynamic macroeconomics: the time consistency of economic policy and the driving forces behind business cycles".
Kydland grew up as the eldest of six siblings at the family farm in Søyland, Gjesdal, which is located in the Jæren farming region in Rogaland county, southwestern Norway. He recalls having had a liberal upbringing, his parents not imposing many limitations on their children. Finn Kydland became interested in mathematics and economics as a young adult, after he did some bookkeeping at a friend's mink farm.
With a freshly awakened interest in theoretical economics, Kydland earned a BSc from NHH in 1968 and a Ph.D. in economics from Carnegie Mellon in 1973, dissertation: Decentralized Macroeconomic Planning. After his Ph.D. he returned to NHH as an assistant professor. In 1978 he moved back to Carnegie Mellon as an associate professor. He has been living in the United States since then.
Kydland's areas of expertise are economics in general and political economy. His main areas of teaching and interest are business cycles, monetary and fiscal policy and labor economics. He joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University in 1977, where he served as a Professor of Economics until 2004, when he became a faculty member of the University of California, Santa Barbara and founded the Laboratory for Aggregate Economics and Finance (LAEF) at this same institution. He is a Research Associate for the Federal Reserve Banks of Dallas, Cleveland and St. Louis, and a Senior Research Fellow at the IC2 Institute at the University of Texas at Austin. He is also an Adjunct Professor at the NHH, and has held visiting scholar and professor positions at, among other places, the Hoover Institution and the Universidad Torcuato di Tella in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Kydland was married to Liv Kjellevold in 1968 with whom he had four children; sons, Jon and Martin, and daughters, Camilla and Kari. He is now married to Tonya Schooler.

BluSolar and GHI are the first members of the 2017 ISA cohort. ISA plans to invest in up to 10 companies in 2017 as part of its fourth cohort. In total, ISA has invested in 26 companies so far.
"We're excited to work with teams that have such clear ties to industries Iowa is strong in. We have several targeted resources that we can use to help accelerate both of these teams," Accelerator Program Manager Molly Monk said.
Recently, BluSolar had an impressive showing at the Cleantech University Prize (UP) Pitch Competition on Feb. 9, finishing in second place. The competition, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy, was held at the Polsky Center for Innovation at the University of Chicago, and featured eight innovative university-based cleantech companies in the Midwest competing for a chance to win $50,000.
As one of the top three finalists from the Midwest region pitch competition, BluSolar has advanced to the DoE National Cleantech UP competition in June for a chance to win $100,000. All three teams will also be featured at Clean Energy Trust's (CET) annual CET Challenge investment program in May.
BluSolar is a joint venture between students from the Millikin Institute for Science Entrepreneurship (ISE) and students from Millikin's Center for Entrepreneurship (CFE). The students are working under the guidance of Julie Shields, director of Millikin's Center for Entrepreneurship, and Dr. Casey Watson, associate professor of physics and astronomy at Millikin.
According to Estefano Martinez, a sophomore business major from Zionsville, Ind., and CEO of BluSolar, when certain materials are cryogenically treated, molecular structures are permanently realigned in a way that can improve overall performance. BluSolar has increased the efficiency of solar cells by anywhere between 2-15 percent, depending on the quality of the solar cell, providing the best return on investment in the industry.
"There are a whole host of positive benefits that we're exploring," Martinez says. "These types of treatments are very popular in the manufacturing industry and the impact of these treatments are irreversible. By cryogenically treating these cells, once they are operating at normal temperatures, the molecular realignment has made them more efficient."

A Military Wife Can Survive: The Inspiring Story Of One Fallen Veteran's Wife and Her Family
There are few things in this world as resilient and resourceful as a military wife – in fact, there might not be anything tougher out there. That said, what is perhaps more impressive than the hardiness of the military wife's strength is the depth of her ability to love.
We discovered all this and more during our conversation with Tessa Marrow, a remarkable young woman who has endured so much in her time as a military wife, yet still so clearly loves with all her heart her husband, the late Cpl. Kristopher Marrow.
She offered to tell us her story in hopes that sharing what happened to Kris might prevent the same thing from happening to somebody else.
Born in August 1991, Kristopher was the epitome of a true southern gentleman and was a country boy through and through. He knew the answer to any question about farming, taking care of animals (any animals), soil, feed, planting and gardening. He knew how to both shoe and tame a horse, and could work on a farm, on houses, on barns, cars, bikes and more.
"Anything in the world, you name it and he could do it," Tessa told us. "Kris was a diehard man. Whatever he chose to do, he did it with all of him."
This ambition led the jack of all trades country boy to graduate high school early at 17-years-old and shortly after join the Marines.
"Excuse my language, but Kris was a certified badass, always looking for the next badass thing he could do. He was a gun-slinging, beer-drinking American patriot and thought it'd be so cool to be a marine. He thrived on the idea of having a family, and he thought the Marines would provide him a real brotherhood like he hadn't yet known."
Just as he excelled in everything else in life – "he could sell air conditioning to an Eskimo or tell a joke that could get the devil roll over laughing" – Kris was a born Marine. He aspired to be great at whatever he chose, and he always succeeded. Shortly after graduating from the Marine Corps recruit depot at Parris Island, Kris was deployed to Africa and his life as a Marine officially began.
Eventually, love would also find its way into the Marine's life, and an 18-year-old Tessa would fall for that tall, dark and handsome southern gentleman with the green eyes that could stop the world.
"I fell in love with him the first time I saw him, sitting on a kitchen island at a friend's Halloween party. The first time he made eye contact with me, I knew it was right then. That's where our love story began."
Kris called Tessa the next day. Though they were each at the party with different dates, their connection was immediate, the kind of love that movies are made of, and he drove through the pouring rain to pick her up at her friend's house after they got off the phone. Soaking wet, they talked and talked long into the night until he brought her back to her friends'.
"We married in 2011 and had our daughter in 2012. Kris had already had a son, and the two became best of friends. Kris was a remarkable husband who showed me love every opportunity he got. He would surprise me with random hugs, kisses when he knew I was feeling down, flowers and candy when he felt like I needed it."
As he did for his country, Kristopher did for his family, and worked his fingers to the bone to provide for them by all means. He was a devoted father who loved his children more than anything in the world, and coached them t-ball and wrestled them in the yard every chance he got.
"He was the best dad you could possibly imagine. He was a very hands-on daddy and taught the kids something every opportunity he had. He was a big kid himself. Every child in the world loved Kris, he was goofy. He's the man in the yard rolling around in the mud with the kids or tossing them across the pool. He melted for our daughter though and would take her on dates. He was tough until he would see her cry."
As a true southern gentleman, Kris was also a God-fearing man and taught Tessa and the kids everything they knew about God, she says. He'd pray with them every day, said blessings before every meal, and even prayed and thanked God when he killed an animal while hunting.
"He was truly and impeccable man, who left a hole in this world greater than anything I've ever known. He will be missed every second of every day for the rest of my life."
He was home and no longer active-duty for about two years before his death. On December 24, 2015, Cpl. Kristopher Leon Marrow passed a way, a victim of the immeasurably difficult conditions that drive too many brave veterans to take their own lives.
"The day Kris died, he set me up on the kitchen counter and told me how proud he was to be married to me. He said, 'You're a tougher man than I am.' He said that no matter the hard times we went through, 'Even the times I gave up, you stepped up and pulled my slack.'"
After his passing, Tessa's family understandably was in shock. They didn't know what to do, where to turn, and the world around them continued to spin even if theirs had been turned upside down forever, until a wealth of warmth was extended to Tessa from her military family.
"Marine wives I've never heard of called me, asked me how my daughter was doing, asked me if I was sleeping, if I had food, and told me where to go from there. They told me to strap my boots on, put my feet on the ground, and let's go."
Though Kristopher was the marine, Tessa still had a family through his service.
"Seven days after his death, a military wife called me and said I had to go to the social security office to get the benefits in order. She told me, 'Kris's life ended and yours did not. You have to make sure you're taken care of now.' I started crying and she told me, 'Wipe your face, you can cry later.'"
Tessa told me that Kris's favorite song was "A Country Boy Can Survive" by Hank Williams Jr. As we share her story, I find myself once again amazed by the resilience of Tessa and her family of military wives, so much so that I think a version called "A Military Wife Can Survive" is long overdue.
"Three months later, I took my daughter to school and came home. I sat down and realized it was the first time I had been alone since he died. I cried for a minute, and then I was done. I had done everything I had to do, and I had pulled through."
According to Task and Purpose, a military news outlet, veterans have a suicide rate 50% higher than those who did not serve in the military. Pair that with the terrifying fact that over 20 veterans take their own lives each day, per a July 2016 Veterans Affairs study, and you have a deplorable situation that requires immediate remedy.
"No suicide is more important than the other, but when 22 veterans are taking their own lives every day, that's a real situation, a real trend, that demands attention. Marines live their life on the line constantly. It's never a thought for them to say 'I don't want to go' when they get the call for a new mission. They have their bag packed every day are prepared every day to serve."
"When civilians see homeless vets, they think, 'Oh, just get a job and everything will be fine.' We don't understand the stress they experience every day as a soldier and every day when they come home. We don't know what they've seen, what they've done, so we don't know what is going to trigger them: a loud noise on the street, a baby crying at the home, someone yelling at them at work. We can't know so we can't judge."
Like many young men and women who serve, transitioning to civilian life is difficult to say the least, if not impossible. As Kris told Tessa shortly after his final return home, "What am I if I'm not a soldier? I don't know how to be a civilian."
That is a question that these brave soldiers should not have to answer alone, Tessa says.
"These veterans have nowhere to go when they're done serving. They give everything for us. The least we can do is take care of them."
As humans, we all mourn the passing of a loved one differently. Personally, I don't think there are any right or wrong ways – each unique relationship requires its unique process. Nonetheless, I've yet to encounter any individual maintain their strength like Tessa and her daughter, just based from her demeanor during our conversations.
"My daughter is her father all over again. She is the most adaptive and resilient person I've ever met," Tessa says. She continues the precedent that Kris had set before and takes their daughter out on dates frequently, a special note that she picked up on in the song lyrics to the song, "CPL. Kristopher Marrow."
"As soon as she heard her daddy's name, her eyes lit up, and she said, 'That's daddy's name!" When the part about her daddy taking her on dates came on, she said, 'MY daddy used to take me on dates.' After awhile she finally pieced it all together and said, 'This song is about my daddy!' We listened to the song about 10 more times in a row after that!"
"We talk about daddy every day. I still take her on dates, just like her daddy did. And when something nice happens, she says, 'I wish my daddy was here, but I know that he's in my heart.' And I remind her, 'Yes, he's always in your heart, and he's always watching you from there.'"

Gabriel Magalhaes set to join Arsenal after £27m fee agreed with Lille
Centre-back to leave Lille after three-year stay that included loan spells at Troyes AC and Dinamo Zagreb; Brazilian in London to complete medical
Tuesday 25 August 2020 11:53, UK
The latest news from the Emirates as Arsenal move a step closer to completing a deal for Lille defender Gabriel Magalhaes
Gabriel Magalhaes is set to join Arsenal after they agreed a £27m fee with Lille for the defender.
Arsenal have beaten off competition from Premier League rivals Manchester United, who held late discussions with the player's representatives, Everton and Italian club Napoli to sign the 22-year-old.

Juventus interested in Lacazette
Arsenal handed daunting start to season
Premier League 2020/21 fixtures
The player watched Lille's opening day 1-1 draw with Rennes from the stands on Saturday and it is understood he is now in London to complete a medical.
Gabriel was a key member of the Lille side that finished fourth in Ligue 1 last season and started each of their games in the Champions League, including twice against Chelsea.

Image: This graphic shows Gabriel's distribution in the Champions League this season, revealing the majority of his passes are played just inside his own half down the left flank and directed upfield
The Brazilian centre-back is set to join a revamped Arsenal defence that will also be boosted by the arrival of William Saliba, 19, who was signed from St Etienne for £27m last summer, but was loaned back to the French club for the 2019/20 season.
Drinkwater joins Turkish club Kasimpasa on loan
In June, David Luiz signed a new one-year contract at Arsenal, while Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares made their loan moves permanent from Flamengo and Southampton respectively.
In addition to the deals for Mari and Soares, Arsenal have also signed Brazilian winger Willian. The 32-year-old signed a three-year deal with Arsenal following the end of his contract with Chelsea.
Transfer Centre LIVE!
Why was Gabriel Magalhaes so sought after?
Transfer Talk: Arsenal defence sorted for a decade?
It is the second time in 12 months Arsenal have signed a player from Lille, following Ivory Coast international Nicolas Pepe's £72m move to the Emirates from the French club last summer.
Who is Gabriel Magalhaes?
Image: Gabriel attracted interest from a host of European clubs this summer
Sky Sports' Nick Grounds takes a closer look at the defender:
Gabriel started his career at Avai, a side who currently play in the second tier of Brazilian football.
After 21 appearances, he made the move to Europe in January 2017, signing for Ligue 1 side Lille for a fairly modest fee of £1.5m.
Gabriel initially struggled to adapt to senior football at Lille and went out on loan twice. First to Troyes, where he spent the first half of the 2017/18 season, before a temporary move to Dynamo Zagreb in January 2018.
First-team opportunities continued to evade him, moving between the reserve and senior sides before returning to Lille for the start of the 2018/19 season.
Gabriel took his time to cement himself in the side, not starting a Ligue 1 game until February 2019. But he has not looked back since; forging a relatively successful partnership with former Southampton player Jose Fonte at centre-back.
After a seven-year absence, Gabriel helped Lille qualify for the Champions League in 2018/19, finishing second in Ligue 1 to PSG.
Gabriel has continued his ascent this season, with a string of impressive performances both domestically and in the Champions League.
Lille president: Gabriel a real fighter
Image: Lille president Gerard Lopez says Gabriel is "a real fighter"
Lille president Gerard Lopez spoke to Sky Sports News about Gabriel's move before it was formally agreed, and said the Brazilian is "at the start of something big" in his career.
"He is a great kid and that is one of the most important things," Lopez said. "He didn't have an easy start with us given the fact that the coach at the time didn't trust him because of his age.
"He is a real fighter and has immense physical presence but knows how to use it smartly. He is still raw and I know the Brazil national team are looking at him very seriously for the A-team.
"I think he is at the start of something big, and he does everything to succeed."
Image: Centre-back Gabriel can cover a rampaging left-back, with the majority of his defensive actions made down that flank, while also clearing things up in his own penalty box
Gabriel, William Saliba could be Arsenal pairing for 'best part of 10 years'
If Arsenal complete the signing of Lille's Gabriel, he could form a defensive partnership with William Saliba for 'best part of 10 years', French football expert Jonathan Johnson told the Sky Sports Transfer Talk podcast.
Paris-based Johnson believes the pair could provide the defensive stability the Gunners have needed in recent seasons, with both well-suited to the physical side of the Premier League.
"It would be a pairing of two very good, very promising central defensive talents and potentially a partnership which could serve Arsenal for the best part of the next 10 years," he said.
What else have Arsenal got planned?
Image: Dani Ceballos is believed to be eager to stay on at Arsenal
Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth gives his insight on some of the other deals Arsenal have planned this summer:
Following the arrivals of Willian, Gabriel, Pablo Mari and Cedric Soares at the Emirates Stadium, it's understood Dani Ceballos signing on loan for Arsenal again next season remains a possibility.
Talks are ongoing between the Gunners and his parent club Real Madrid over securing another loan deal for the midfielder, with Ceballos believed to be keen on staying at Arsenal.
Ceballos is expected to link up with Zinedine Zidane's side for pre-season training, ahead of the 2020/21 La Liga campaign, while negotiations continue.
He is under contract at Real Madrid until 2023, and has featured in 56 games for the club since his arrival at the Bernabeu from Real Betis in 2017.
Mesut Ozil has previously indicated he is staying at Arsenal for the remainder of his contract but it is clear he is not in Arteta's plans.
Image: Ozil appears to be happy to see out his Arsenal contract despite not being part of Mikel Arteta's plans
Ideally, Arsenal would like to offload the former Germany international to get his huge wages off the payroll but that is easier said than done. Ozil has entered the final year of his contract and appears happy to see it out.
The 31-year-old has not played a single minute for the Gunners since the Premier League restarted, the club have maintained that he has been absent from matches with a back injury.
An agreement is close between Arsenal and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang over a new three-year contract for the Gabon international.
The player sent out a cryptic tweet of an hourglass emoji as the forward is close to ending speculation about his future with his current contract set to expire at the end of the season.

At Age 9, The Late Ronald McNair Was Kicked Out Of A Library That's Now Named After Him
in Best of Africa, Featured Posts, Geeky & Smart, Inspiring, Technology
by How Africa News December 1, 2022, 11:15 am
Ronald McNair was kicked out of the library when he was nine years old because he was Black. That same structure is now named in his honor.
In 1959, police were called to a segregated library when a Black 9-year-old boy trying to check out books refused to leave, after being told the library was not for Black people.
The boy, Ronald McNair, went on to became an astronaut. The library is also now named after him. pic.twitter.com/vds2OYn6RU
— AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY (@AfricanArchives) November 24, 2022
McNair's Legacy
Throughout his life, McNair was confronted with the harshness of racism, and his resilience against the times he lived in lives on even decades after his death.

Due to segregation in the South, McNair was denied the ability to check out books from his local library in 1959. As a young man raised in South Carolina at the time, this type of behavior was not unusual; however, McNair took a stand against the ill treatment he received because of the color of his skin.
Rather than leaving the facility, as the librarian had advised, a 9-year-old McNair doubled down on his desire to check out the books and sat on the counter, refusing to leave.

Ultimately, the police were called and they told the librarian to allow him to check out the books.
The rest is, as one would say, history.
Crew Challenger mission Christa McAuliffe Gregory Jarvis November 1985
From sports to music, McNair excelled at everything he put his mind to. Therefore, it came as no surprise when he set the goal to obtain his Ph.D. 10 years after high school graduation.
After graduating from MIT, he worked as a staff physicist at Hughes Research Laboratories in Malibu, California.
McNair's work included "the invention of lasers for isotope separation and photochemistry, employing nonlinear interactions in low-temperature liquids and optical pumping techniques," according to his NASA profile. He also studied electro-optic laser modulation for satellite-to-satellite space communications, the development of ultrafast infrared detectors, ultraviolet atmospheric remote sensing, and the scientific foundations of martial arts."
His physics expertise, combined with his numerous achievements in the field, ultimately led NASA to choose McNair from a pool of thousands of applicants to join its 1978 space shuttle program.
He became the second Black person to fly into space in 1984.
Still Making History
McNair was honored just one day after the 16th anniversary of his death in 2011, at the same library that turned him away as a child because of the color of his skin.
A post shared by Josh Eilberg (@rocketmanjr26)
The Ronald McNair Life History Center was renamed on January 29, 2011.
It includes a timeline of his life up until his untimely death in 1986, when he was one of seven people killed when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded shortly after takeoff over the Atlantic Ocean.

The Benedict Foundation of Southport will sponsor a Christmas in July Holiday Tablescape Workshop from 2-4 p.m. Thursday, July 24, at the Foundation's conference center at 1013 E. Moore St., Southport.

Warm season grasses are now going "full steam ahead" and you should care for them likewise. Seed, sprig, plug or sod right away for best results because later plantings may not have enough time to establish properly before cold weather returns in the fall season.
Don't forget to fertilize, water and mow according to the various plant needs.
Glyphosate is one of the great weed control success stories of the last 50 years. More commonly known as Roundup, this material revolutionized the way we approach weed control in the landscape and garden as well as in agriculture. And, it's safe for critters, humans and the environment because it attacks a protein synthesis chain that animals don't have and breaks down quickly once it reaches the soil.
These true bugs have lace-like wings and backs. They are found on the undersides of leaves, but cause a blotched or spotted appearance on the upper leaf surface. Black varnish excrement spots appear on the underside of leaves and are characteristic even when adults are absent.
Severely infested leaves may yellow and drop prematurely.
Southerners drink iced tea year-round, and have been drinking iced tea since the 19th century when ice became generally available.
If you order tea in a restaurant in the South, you'll get iced tea, probably sweetened, so if you want it hot or unsweetened, you'd better say so!
Do we really want freedom for all?
It was Independence Day and I was sitting in my office gazing at the serenity of Sasspan Creek. The sea creatures seem to be living peaceably with each other. They give space and place to one another without squawking, fighting or jealously guarding their spot in the water or on our dock. I watched them and wonder why we humans cannot seem to share our earth in such an equitable manner.

IoT: What's in it for Me?
It's become almost trivial for companies to add smart voice integration to their products. But the growing sophistication of smart homes is fueling a market for integrated suites of sensors and new attention to home infrastructure. We look at the core of the smart home today and assess its value.
Despite pockets of success, most companies in the smartwatch market continue to struggle with a product that relies mostly on notifications and health tracking. Still, the past year has seen major watch companies jump in and the category continues to see improvements in areas such as battery life, display brightness and versatility. In our panel, we'll look at the state of wearables and whether they can move beyond the early adopters.
Every month, more consumers turn away from traditional pay TV subscriptions to an assortment of on-demand and increasingly linear options filled with billions of dollars' worth of original content investment. Broadband TV can be enjoyed nearly anywhere but consumers must navigate a fractured landscape that can pile on subscriptions. A panel of industry leaders will discuss the progress of broadband TV and how the customer experience can be improved.
As cars go electric, the door has opened for a host of other products that can help get people around town. They range from battery-powered skateboards, scooters and e-bikes to one-person vehicles that all offer tradeoffs in size, weight, safety and ease of use. Meanwhile, many municipal laws still don't allow for many of these personal transporters. We'll discuss the explosion in new forms of short-commute personal vehicles and how they might create new commuting options.
CE Week will take place at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, June 20-21, 2018. To register for CE Week 2018 and see the full schedule of events, visit www.ceweekny.com. Follow CE Week on Facebook and Twitter, and use the official CE Week hashtag, #CEWeekNY.

Bonny Corn - Principal's Secretary, Eastview Middle School
In her 22 years with U-46 as the secretary to the principal at Eastview Middle School, Bonny has made lifelong friends including some with whom she vacationed. "We shared family celebrations and we would talk through trials in our lives," Bonny said. "We solved the District and world problems while
floating in a pool, overlooking the ocean and sipping a cold drink! We kept saying 'What is so hard about doing it like this? Or that?' The more we 'floated,' the problems got easier to solve!" As a student, Bonnie attended Garfield Elementary, Ellis Middle and Elgin High School. She plans to spend more time with family, friends and pets, and volunteering at the Anderson Animal Shelter.


A slice of pizza can go upto 285 calories or even more depending on if you've caved in for that extra cheese bit 😀 or a little less if the toppings are only veg. But lets be honest who doesn't like a pizza ?? Though the guilt of having the refined flour base and so much cheese hardly lets one enjoy a piece at 'peace'. This exactly is the issue with a usual pizza – refined flour and not so healthy toppings not the calories per se. If the same calories come from healthy sources they will hardly do any harm to you.
2. Make dough with flour, sugar, salt, oil and the yeast mixture. Prove it for 20 minutes in a warm place by keeping it covered with a moist cloth.
3. Press the dough and divide into 2 portions. Roll each into rounds, prick each circle evenly using a fork. Place them on greased baking tray and bake in preheated oven at 180*C for 8 minutes.
4. Remove and spread desired sauce and toppings and cheese. Bake again till cheese melts. Serve hot.
You can use a variety of veggies to make sauce more healthy. Like adding some spinach puree, adding carrots etc.
Add watermelon to a blender and pulse until well pureed (there should be about 4 cups).
In a large pitcher whisk together water, lemon juice and sugar until sugar has dissolved. Stir in pureed watermelon. Stir in ice and mint (alternately add ice and mint directly to individual cups and pour lemonade over). Store in refrigerator.
This meal combo is a total winner over a weekend when you don't want to spend time in kitchen but enjoy the meal with family. Absolutely healthy for kids too…What more could you ask for?? Enjoy and tell me how it was.

The Acoustic Legacy Sessions


Corporate litigator Mia Shaw suffers the shock of her life when she finds her colleague and friend brutally murdered. Grief-stricken and furious, Mia vows that she will do anything to seek justice and make the killer pay. The man accused of the murder is a friend of security tech guru Noah Ramirez, but the evidence just doesn't add up. To save his former ATF partner, Noah needs to convince Mia that the real killer is still on the loose. Mia soon has more than the criminal prosecution to worry about, however.
Another great book by this author!!!!
The dangerous beauty of Lavender Tides is harboring secrets that reach around the world. Ellie Blackmore is making a name for herself as a house flipper. But when her sister, Mackenzie, disappears, Ellie can't focus on anything but uncovering what happened. Her only clue is the bloodstain on the deck of Mackenzie's boat. Ellie knows her sister isn't on the best of terms with her ex-husband, Jason, but he wouldn't kill her - would he? Coast Guard intelligence officer Grayson Bradshaw believes Mackenzie faked her own death after stealing a seized cocaine shipment.
It's not every day you see your childhood friend and one-time crush on national news. Jackie Sellers just wishes that it were under different circumstances. She can't believe that Ian Lockwood is wanted in connection with a terrorist plot, and she's determined to find him and help him clear his name. But she's not the only one looking. The FBI wants him captured. The bad guys want him dead. Ian just wants to stay alive long enough to save thousands of innocent lives.
Investigative reporter Jillian Carter knows that it's time to put the past to rest. She's tired of looking over her shoulder, letting a killer go free. She's no longer the scared kid who changed her name and disappeared. Now, no matter what the cost, Jillian must do what she is trained to do: ferret out the truth and expose it. Senator Frank Hoffman committed murder 10 years ago, and Jillian watched it happen - didn't she?
As a medical examiner, Serena Hopkins is used to dealing with death. But that doesn't make it any easier when she's called to the eerie scene of a murder - especially when Serena realizes that she knows the victim. Nearly as unnerving is the presence of FBI agent Dominic Allen, her childhood crush. As evidence mounts and points to a serial killer with disturbingly familiar methods, Serena and Dominic must work to find a pattern and stop the killings before the murderer strikes again.
She'd been told her fiancé died in a military training accident, but Gina Santino's gut told her otherwise. Still, she never imagined his killers would come after her. Now she is dodging bullets and running for her own life, not sure who to trust. Her fiancé had left specific instructions for her to contact fellow US Army Ranger Ian Masterson should anything happen to him. But how could she trust a man who abandoned his team years ago? With no other choice, Gina must place her life in his hands in order to stay alive long enough to find the truth.
With the public eye fixed on the governor's new Missing Persons Task Force, Detective Evie Blackwell and her new partner, David, are under pressure to produce results. While they investigate two missing persons cases in Chicago, Evie and David's conviction that justice is truly possible for all will be tested to the limit.
Best-selling and award-winning author Lynette Eason sends listeners on a race for the truth in this heart-stopping story of risk, regret, and redemption.
I listen to 5 audible books a week! I am so disappointed because Lynette Eason is my favorite! I could barely get through this because of the narrator!!!! Terrible , Sounds likes she is whining and shaking her goice constantly!!!
The book was wonderful and in contrast to other reviews, I love the narrator Callie Beaulieu!
This book is so good! The family of characters is wonderful. The suspense grabbed me and held me all the way through and the romance added a warm touch. The narration is very good.
Love these stories! Callie Beaulieu is a wonderful reader! Lynette Eason is one of my fav authors!
Loving this series about the St. John's family. The suspense and romance are wonderful. The narrator is outstanding. Looking forward to the next in the series.
Too many characters- but still great book!
I was a bit distracted when i listened to the book, but it seemed there were so many "bad" men for lack of a better word lol! The book seemed to go on a bit, but i liked her setting, the diving seemed a different twist. I find this narrator hard to get used to. She speaks fast, then slow, and pausing awkwardly, unnaturally accenting the sentences and conversation...still all in all a good listen. I'd definitely listen to it again. I really like LE's books!
Lynette has done it again!
From the very beginning you're trapped in the world of Emily and Brady. When Emily's friend goes missing and Emily's life is in danger because she's gotten information, will Brady get to her in time? Lynette has woven the story so that you don't know who the main villain is until she wants you to. She keeps you guessing throughout the book.
Loved the book!! At times it was a little hard to keep all the characters straight, but a fabulous story nonetheless. I loved the fact that Emily wasn't a perfect size 2, and had scars and "issues", just like the rest of us, and that didn't matter to Brady. A beautiful story of God's love, faithfulness and redemption. Love the St. John family and can't wait for the next book!
Please Re-edit this book for future buyers!


April 24 is the deadline given by the Trump administration for the Venezuelan government to remove all diplomatic staff. If attempts to seize the embassy are made by police and/or supporters of U.S.-puppet Juan Guaidó, we will mobilize in San Francisco the following day at 5pm in front of the Federal Building at 7th & Mission Street.
On Dec. 9, 1,000 activists from all over the Bay Area joined together at UN Plaza in protest of Trump's speech earlier that week, in which he announced that the U.S. would be the first country to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the state of Israel.
Can you give just $5 to help stop the horrific Trump Program?
Can you donate just $5 today to help build the people's movement, the only force that can turn back the Trump attack?
Trump calls for "greatly expanded" nuclear weapons – We say NO!
Help Build the SF Jan. 20 Protest on the Day of Trump's Inauguration!
The demonstration, sponsored by ANSWER, was the latest among hundreds of marches, rallies, and school walk outs.


Is there presently any substantiated scientific research proving the benefits of Structured Water?
The scientific community around the world abounds with various research, findings, articles and analysis of water structure, its enhancement, its quality and the immense value of it's energetic effects on living things.
For those of you requesting more info, more answers about the effects of Structured Water on plants, animals, bacteria, virus, and other microbial life forms as well as analytical observations of water's energetic effects on molecular structures, chemical reactions, enzymes and mineral substances in non living components of the world around us I can only say yes, the data is immense, it is overwhelming but equally quite incomprehensible.
Despite the countless fortunes being spent in furthering scientific understanding of water and it's energetic structure, the most effective and greatest analyzers remains the human mind and body. Our senses are tens of thousand times more sensitive than the most expensive and elaborate analyzer. Despite the great advancements in scientific research, the analysis drawn from our basic human senses are what the worlds fortunes most rely.
Personal experience remains the truest test and the highest value is placed on that experience. The analysis of our worlds oldest and largest industries like medicines, food, cosmetics, wine and beer depend almost exclusively on the final word of personal experience, personal observation, personal taste, personal touch. Our health and the health of the world's population and industry depend on our five senses, our personal analyzer and it is to this ultimate scrutiny we submit our Structured Water Units.
We will continue to test, to gather data, and expand our understandings and applications. We will continue gathering collaborations with the worlds top scientific minds and expand existing studies and related research to add to our own in an effort to help meet the needs of those wishing to use, promote and expand the implementation of these remarkable life enhancing, world changing devices, but in the end much of this material both (officially) published and non-published research data is and will remain highly complex and in many if not most cases make little sense to anyone outside these scientific fields of inquiry.
So here in the end as in all new beginnings it is you who must determine what is good for you. It is you we most trustfully rely. It is your experience, your insight, your personal experience and results we most implore. We and all those using and researching these devices know their value, we see the results but it is you who most ultimately determine its value to you. The only true failure is to fail to try, to fail to inquire, explore. What is of most value for you can truly be best determined by you yourself. We can offer our experience and findings but you are your own best resource, best advisor and best personal counsel for what is good, healthy and beneficial for you.

Its popularity has been growing strong since 2000, with significant sales growth noted every year of the decade … that is until now. In 2008, the gallons of bottled water consumption went down by 1 percent, for the first time this decade. And whereas in 2007 Americans drank 29 gallons of bottled water each, in 2008 that went down to 28.5 gallons. It's a small decrease, but perhaps a sign of larger changes to come.
That BPA can leach out of plastic during everyday use, causing health problems, is hardly news. It's now widely known that BPA mimics the female hormone estrogen and may affect fertility and promote cancer. And just last year it came out that BPA may also lead to heart disease, diabetes and liver problems.
The researchers recruited Harvard College students for the study in April 2008, and all 77 participants then began a seven-day "washout" during which they drank all cold beverages from stainless steel bottles in order to minimize BPA exposure. For the next week, participants were given two polycarbonate bottles and asked to drink all cold beverages from them.
"We found that drinking cold liquids from polycarbonate bottles for just one week increased urinary BPA levels by more than two-thirds. If you heat those bottles, as is the case with baby bottles, we would expect the levels to be considerably higher. This would be of concern since infants may be particularly susceptible to BPA's endocrine-disrupting potential," said Karin B. Michels, associate professor of epidemiology at HSPH and Harvard Medical School and senior author of the study.
The end result is this: if you drink out of plastic water bottles, you can pretty much guarantee that you're increasing your levels of BPA, which is very risky for your health.
"An expert panel of scientists has concluded that exposure to extremely low doses of bisphenol A is strongly linked to diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, and diabetes, and to reproductive and neurological development," the Sierra Club reported.

Inspirational boat building
WOUNDED, injured and sick (WIS) veterans are helping to build a unique rowing boat which will be used to compete in a world championship race next year.
Participants in the project, at the National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, are putting together a Cornish pilot gig which will be given to a Help for Heroes team competing in the Pilot Gig World Championships on the Isles of Scilly in May 2016.
The programme brings together skill training and sport as a merged pathway to rehabilitation for WIS soldiers or veteran, and is supported by a range of military charities including BLESMA, Help for Heroes, The Soldiers' Charity, Combat Stress and others.
An inspired project
Project manager Mike Selwood said: "We have managed to get together a dream team who will take until next April to build the gig. Andrew Nancarrow, one of Cornwall's foremost gig builders, is leading the team.
"He is supported by Dan Scully, formerly on the boatbuilding staff at Falmouth marine school, and Al Henderson, a former Royal Marine, who sustained serious injuries in Afghanistan resulting in the loss of a leg. Al has become an excellent woodworker and is in many ways the inspiration for the project.
"We know some will come just for a taster day, others will want a longer term commitment and many will have ongoing medical priorities. What we can do is help everyone to try woodworking as a skill."
Once built, the gig will be rowed, weather dependent, to the isles of Scilly in stages, fundraising for military charities along the way.
Jock Easton, general manager at Help for Heroes Plymouth, said: "We're delighted to be part of this. Some of the participants in the project competed for Help for Heroes in the World Pilot Gig World Championships this year – brilliant for them to have a hand in building the gig they will compete in next year."
The National Maritime Museum Cornwall has funded the project with the help of the Armed Forces Community Covenant Grant programme and the generosity of other sponsors.
If you know a WIS veteran who would like to take part, visit www.nmmc.co.uk or you can follow the gig build on Facebook.
