Carriera
Paola Frani è nata in una città romagnola e fin da piccola è stata appassionata di moda. Ha studiato al liceo artistico di Ravenna e al Centro professionale per progettista d'abbigliamento a Modena. Paola Frani debutta nel campo della moda appena ventenne, a metà degli anni ottanta, fondando insieme a Davide Fusaroli la linea di abbigliamento Scrupoli S.n.c.. La sede è a San Mauro Pascoli. Nel 1986 presenta nel corso di Pitti Immagine a Firenze la sua prima collezione Paola Frani e nel 1987 viene nominata "migliore stilista emergente" da una commissione di esperti del settore, che attira sulla stilista l'attenzione di Alberta Ferretti, a cui seguono importanti collaborazioni con il gruppo Coin, con Les Copains, Crimson e Casadei Calzature.

Nel 1992 la nuova collezione Paola Frani sfila a Milano, città dove l'anno seguente verrà anche aperto il primo show room del marchio. Nel 1996 nasce PF, seconda linea di Paola Frani rivolta ad un target più giovane.

Dal 1999 vengono aperte nuove boutique in Italia, Francia, Giappone e Cina. Nel 2000 viene firmato un accordo con il gruppo giapponese AOI. Dal 2001 Scrupoli S.n.c. diventa Paola Frani S.r.l., che cambierà nuovamente denominazione sociale dal 2007, diventando PAOLA FRANI S.p.a.

La stilista romagnola ha da sempre sviluppato uno stile fortemente riconoscibile, con un'identità marcata e una personalità d'impatto. Numerose le ispirazioni di altri mondi, come cinema e arte contemporanea, sono infatti visibili riferimenti alla Pop Art, al futurismo, o ad artisti come Schifano e Schnabel.

Referee assistants (VAR) once again drove the teams crazy and this time it was Aston Villa, as they were denied a goal in stoppage time in the defeat to West Ham in the late 10th round of the Premier League. English class.
VAR rejected Aston Villa's goal
Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins missed a penalty in the 74th minute but later redeemed the equalizer in stoppage time. However, the 24-year-old English striker's goal was rejected by the VAR for a narrow offside error.
After Watkins' scoring situation, the VAR technology and the referee took three minutes to consider whether the Aston Villa striker's outstretched arm was offside. In the end, the referee decided to disappoint Watkins and the Aston Villa players.
In this phase, Watkins may have stretched his arms because he was trying to use his hands to avoid West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna, who held the striker tightly in the box.
VAR turned down an Aston Villa goal
The late match of round 10 of the Premier League last night ended with a 2-1 victory for West Ham. With this victory, the London team climbed a circuit to 5th place in the standings with 17 points, only 2 points behind the 3rd ranked Chelsea team.
VAR rejected the goal of Aston Villa recently
Liverpool lost points because of VAR, Man City won jubilantly
After the draw of Brighton & Hove Albion 1-1, Liverpool temporarily returned to the top of the Premier League while Manchester City won a jubilant 5-0 victory over Burnley.
VAR 3 times disadvantaged Liverpool in the draw of Brighton & Hove Albion
Liverpool had to pity to leave The American Express Community Stadium with just 1 point after a regretful 1-1 draw against Brighton & Hove Albion in the 10th round of the Premier League. Diogo Jota put The Kop up 1-0 in the 60th minute but failed to defend the result when the home team equalized 1-1 from 11m in the 90 + 3 minute by Pascal Gross.
Notably, in this match, VAR technology continues to become an obsession with The Kop, when three situations create a disadvantage for the "Red Brigade." According to statistics, Liverpool is the team that is most disadvantaged because of the VAR in the Premier League this season with 8 times.
With this result, coach Juergen Klopp's army temporarily rose to the top of the rankings with 21 points. However, it is difficult for Liverpool to keep this position after the 10th round of the Premier League closes.

being MVP: Cariloha Bamboo Products & Giveaway!
Cariloha Bamboo Products & Giveaway!
I love Bamboo Products so I was excited to receive a set of sheets and towels from Cariloha for review.
I am really into clean, white sheets now whereas previously, I would lean toward darker colors. These bamboo sheets are divine - softer than 1,000 thread count cotton and silky smooth on my skin. The fitted sheet has depth as it easily goes around our thick King memory foam mattress and stays put unlike some that come right off when we move around. Bamboo sheets are hypo-allergenic which is great for my allergies with dust. My kiddos seem to like it as they sleep better on these sheets than their own, at times. This bedding is actually very cool in the weather we are experiencing right now so guess how happy this heater body of mine is? The set washes well without falling apart in the washing machine. Yes, I have had some sets fall apart even after the first wash - very disappointing and a waste of money. However, this bamboo bedding is fantastic and I just want to stay cozied up in bed all day long!
The bamboo towel set is equally as great in that they are fluffy like the thickest plush towel and made of a blend: 50% Viscose from Bamboo/ 50% Turkish-combed cotton. For being as luxe as these towels are, they are not heavy which is fantastic. I like how clean the white is with simple gray lines running around the towel. These are also snag proof which is perfect for lasting a while. Drying time is cut literally in half with these towels for they are super absorbent Each set comes with a generously sized bath towel, hand towel and washcloth. I like to also use the small washcloth for the kids because it is super soft and great to use for smooth baby skin.
Cariloha also offers a full line of bamboo clothing for both men and women with reasonable prices. Isn't it time you tried out bamboo?
Buy It: You can purchase the King Size Bamboo Sheets for $199 and Towel set for $69.

Juve should show some faith in under-fire Pirlo, says Cannavaro
By	Sports Desk	April 06, 2021
Juventus knew exactly what they were getting when hiring Andrea Pirlo and would be wrong twice if they decided to make a change now, according to Fabio Cannavaro.
Despite winning Serie A for a ninth successive season, Juve reacted to the team's shock Champions League exit to Lyon last year by sacking head coach Maurizio Sarri.
Pirlo was promoted from within to the top job, the former Italy international - who had only just been appointed as the club's new under-23 boss - signing a two-year deal to take charge of the first team.
His debut campaign has been tough, both at home and abroad. Juve's dominance in the league looks set to come to an end, while their hopes of European glory were dashed again at the last-16 stage, this time unexpectedly losing over two legs to Porto.
Pirlo's position has come into question as a consequence, yet former team-mate Cannavaro insists the club must show faith in the decision they made to appoint him in the first place.
"When Juve chose Andrea they knew very well that he had no experience," Cannavaro said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport
"It is logical that he should have his time to mature, even in the relationship with the team. There are still 30 points at stake, so it is right to leave it.
"And he did good things, throwing young people and managing a complicated dressing room, one full of people who have won a lot. Of course, some things don't work, he was wrong: he is a human.
"It's a heritage that must be protected. After all, if Juve don't confirm his position, what did they choose him to do last summer?
"They would be wrong twice if they take that decision now. And the blame can't only be his if the players make mistakes on and off the pitch."
Pirlo's Juve have a 57.14 per cent win percentage in Serie A, having scored 56 goals and conceded 25. The team averages exactly two points a game, considerably lower than the 2019-20 season.
They face a fight just to qualify for the Champions League again: Saturday's 2-2 draw against Torino saw them slip to fourth in the table, with a crucial home game against Napoli - who sit fifth, albeit level with Juventus on 56 points – to come on Wednesday.
As for Sarri, his solitary campaign in charge averaged out at 2.18 points per game, the former Napoli and Chelsea boss winning 68.42 per cent of his league fixtures as he secured the title again.
However, both slip below the lofty standards set by Massimiliano Allegri in his final year in the job. In 2018-19, his squad won 73.68 per cent of their Serie A outings, conceding just 30 goals as they picked up points at a rate of 2.37 per game.

« Milan showed belief in win over Hellas Verona – Pioli BREAKING NEWS: Juventus confirm Allegri return after Pirlo departure »
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has stated that Caoimhin Kelleher will start for the Reds in next month's EFL Cup final against Chelsea, fitness permitting.
The Irish goalkeeper is the understudy to Alisson at Anfield, but has played in three of their five EFL Cup games this season, including Thursday's 2-0 semi-final second leg victory at Arsenal.
Kelleher has played 15 times in all competitions for Liverpool, with former Republic of Ireland international Shay Given recently suggesting that the 23-year-old should leave the club to seek regular football.
However, Klopp insisted before the first leg against Arsenal that the EFL Cup was "his competition" and explained that Alisson only played in last week's 0-0 draw at Anfield because the Brazilian needed "rhythm" after a spell out with COVID-19.
Speaking at a news conference ahead of Sunday's trip to Crystal Palace in the Premier League, Klopp was asked whether Kelleher would retain his place for the Wembley final on February 27, to which he replied: "Caoimh will play, if he is fit.
"We consider Caoimh as an outstanding goalkeeper and we want to keep him here, and to keep him here you have to make sure a few things.
"It is all about how you perform, and if he didn't perform the way he did I would maybe see it differently. He shows that he deserves all the trust and faith we have in him.
"I don't see any reason why Caoimh won't play. He deserves it, he brought the team there."
Klopp was also effusive in his praise for Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose two assists for Diogo Jota in the win against the Gunners took his tally for the season to 14 in all competitions.
In the top five leagues in Europe, only Bayern Munich's Thomas Muller (18) has more, with the German having played four more games than Alexander-Arnold.
"I don't know anyone who is like Trent, who is a right-back and is that decisive," Klopp said. "On the bus on the way home the television is on and you hear people talking and they say 'yeah defensively he is not that good'... honestly I thought he played outstandingly well defensively last night.
"[Gabriel] Martinelli, we will talk about this player in the future. If he avoids major injuries he will have a proper career, so he's really good and what he did there against [Alexander-Arnold] and how he kept him busy defensively and where he showed up and all these kinds of things... the [overall] package of Trent is insane.
"It's not that he delivers every day, there are still departments where he can improve and has to improve and we work on that... he still has 15 years or whatever to play, to create and to score and to learn and to improve. The last five years were a good start in the career I would say."
Titans star Henry cleared to return for Bengals showdown
Derrick Henry is set to make his long-awaited Tennessee Titans return against the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday after he was activated off the injured reserve.
The running back has not played since injuring in his foot in a win over the Indianapolis Colts back in Week 8.
Henry endured a frustrating spell on the sidelines following surgery, but is back for the Divisional Round showdown with the fourth-seeded Bengals at Nissan Stadium.
The 2020 NFL Offensive Player of the Year came through contact training this week and is ready to make a timely comeback.
Henry said: "I felt great. I just wanted to get some pads on. Haven't had them on in a while and got some contact going."
The two-time Pro-Bowler rushed for 937 yards and 10 touchdowns in 219 carries in his eight regular-season games for the top-seeded Titans this season.
Henry was leading the league in rushing when he sustained the injury.
He made 112 yards from 18 carries, scoring one touchdown when the Titans last faced the Bengals in November 2020, a game that was won 31-20 by Cincinnati.
Nagelsmann warns 'entire system could suffer' if Bundesliga brings in US-style play-offs
Julian Nagelsmann has dismissed the idea of the Bundesliga adopting play-offs in the style of American sports – predicting Bayern Munich would still be likely champions.
The concept was proposed by former Bayern technical director Michael Reschke, who now works for a leading player management group.
Reschke, speaking to German sports show Ran this week, suggested a system that would see the top four in the league battle it out for the title in a mini tournament, claiming it would add an extra edge to the season's end.
He said play-offs should only take place in years when there is no summer international tournament.
Yet Nagelsmann says adding more games to the calendar would likely do more harm than good.
The Bayern head coach said in a news conference on Friday: "Despite the play-offs, things would technically stay the same.
"It's not like you'd have to pick someone, draft someone or comply with a salary cap or whatever. Even with play-offs, we would still have a good chance to win this.
"I said many times that you have to be cautious that there is not too much sport on TV. Or not more than currently. A demand can become over-saturated if there's too much of it.
"Football lives from its fans and spectators. That is the emotional side, but also financially, too many games or a model with more games could be more stress for the players, the quality of the games then decreases.
"Ticket prices become too expensive because of too many games. But people don't want to pay for it anymore because it's no fun to watch anymore.
"The entire system could suffer from this, so you would have to think carefully. But I am always open to new ideas, expressing my opinion, even though it will not have much influence on what will actually happen."
Bayern have won nine consecutive Bundesliga titles and lead the way again this season, holding a six-point lead over second-placed Borussia Dortmund going into this weekend's programme.
This is Nagelsmann's first season in charge of the Bavarians.

Another paycheck movie for the once great Robert De Niro in which he pretends to care about the movie or his audience. Jeffrey Dean Morgan plays a father who has to pay for his daughter's medical treatment. His boss, played by a phony De Niro, refuses to help. So Morgan and his co-workers decide to rob a casino and hijack a city bus. Sounds familiar? Of course it does, unless you've never seen the classic 90's action movie "Speed" starring Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock. But unlike the much superior "Speed", "Bus 657" seems outdated and well…horrible. What the hell was De Niro thinking?

Website will link manufacturers, schools
next-work.org
NextWork will help students in Lake and Geauga counties learn about opportunities in the manufacturing industry.
A new website will connect manufacturers and Lake and Geauga county schools, helping students learn about the opportunities available in the industry and companies prepare the next generation of workers.
NextWork, which was started under the direction of the Wickliffe City School District, is just one of many programs working to close the skills gap in manufacturing. The approach NextWork is taking is a collaborative one that allows companies and schools to get involved at whatever level works best for them.
NextWork grew out of Wickliffe City School District's workforce and career development program, which helps students in fourth through 12th grades connect with resources ranging from classroom speakers to job fairs to shadowing and internship opportunities. The idea is to get them to think about what comes after high school, said superintendent Joe Spiccia.
About two years ago, the district posted a thank you to a local company on social media for hosting a worksite visit, Spiccia said. That employer then started getting calls from other local districts seeking similar opportunities. Spiccia said it wanted to help but wasn't able to handle all the requests.
Wickliffe's leadership saw an opportunity.
The district reached out to the Alliance for Working Together Foundation, with which it already had a strong relationship, and began discussing ways to create a centralized process for scheduling activities like site visits, Spiccia said. But this process wouldn't just be for the Wickliffe schools; it extends to all districts in Lake and Geauga counties. Collaboration is important, Spiccia said.
"We think it's the way the world should work," he said.
Right now, those kinds of connections happen more informally, but NextWork could create one cohesive system for the schools and companies in the region, said AWT Foundation executive director Alice Cable.
The group behind NextWork brought in other partners, like the Geauga Growth Partnership Inc., Magnet and Lakeland Community College, and began seeking funding. Spiccia said what's now known as NextWork received $55,000 from the Cleveland Foundation to get the website off the ground and $200,000 — $100,000 this fiscal year and $100,000 the next — that was included in the state budget. The site will be free to browse, Spiccia said, but companies that want to add events and job opportunities will be charged $300 per year. The Lake County Educational Service Center is serving as the fiscal agent for NextWork, and Spiccia said the group is in the process of putting together a governing board to oversee NextWork's growth.
Julie Ramos, director of strategic innovation at the Wickliffe City School District, said businesses will be able to put as much or as little on their profiles as they want. That way, schools will be able to go online and immediately see which companies are willing to provide speakers, or which ones are open to site visits. And companies will be able to offer these options without having to field countless calls, she said.
There are a lot of students — and people in education, generally — who don't know all that goes on in a modern manufacturing plant, said Scott Seaholm, chairman and CEO of Universal Metal Products Inc. There's the shop floor, sure, but companies also need employees in areas like human resources, sales and marketing.
The NextWork program is a way to get the word out and bring more people into manufacturing, Seaholm said. The Wickliffe-based metalforming company has been involved in putting it together. NextWork will give the schools and the companies a dedicated way to communicate. Seaholm said it also will serve as a way for companies to better spread out opportunities and to plan for when they will be hosting events.
Roger Sustar, CEO of Mentor-based precision machining shop Fredon Corp., isn't the biggest fan of technology, but he knows manufacturers have to do a better job of embracing it if they don't want to become obsolete. The students are the future, he said, and he thinks NextWork could help parents and students see what factories are all about.
Though the participating districts are in Lake and Geauga counties, there is no geographic restriction for companies that want to take part. Spiccia said the group wants to make sure students have as many options as possible, even if those options are in other counties.
"If we keep the talent at home, the economic prosperity grows," Spiccia said.
On the academic side, participating students will have a digital portfolio of all of their experiences through the program, Ramos said.
While NextWork is beginning with a focus on manufacturing, where it knows there is a high demand, there are plans to expand it to other industries like health care and information technology, Spiccia said. And Ramos said other districts already have expressed interest in learning about the model.
The official launch of the NextWork website will be Dec. 7. It will be marked with a celebration at the Auburn Career Center.

Irish Leaders End Deadlock, Make Deal for New Government
SHAWN POGATCHNIK Friday, 29 April 2016 05:18 PM
DUBLIN (AP) — Ireland's age-old political enemies struck a historic deal Friday night to create a fragile new government following an inconclusive election and two months of deadlock.
The potential three-year agreement between negotiators from the governing Fine Gael and the opposition Fianna Fail parties means it's likely that caretaker Prime Minister Enda Kenny, Ireland's leader since 2011, will be re-elected next week atop a minority Fine Gael government.
To survive, Kenny's government will require vote-by-vote support from the opposition benches, because Fianna Fail has refused to join the coalition and would wield the power to pull the plug on cooperation at any time.
Such minority governments are common in some European countries but a novelty in Ireland, where Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have alternated atop majority governments for nine decades — but never shared power.
"The days of majority rule in absolute terms ... are gone. We are entering into a new era in Irish politics, where the views of everyone need to be taken on board," said Fianna Fail negotiator Michael McGrath.
"It is going to be a very challenging scenario for everybody involved, but we have to make it work," McGrath said.
The Feb. 26 election weakened Fine Gael, leaving Kenny's center-right party without a viable coalition partner in a politically fractured 158-member parliament. Fine Gael holds 50 seats while resurgent Fianna Fail came second with 44.
Friday's deal requires formal ratification in separate meetings of lawmakers expected to take place within three days, followed by a parliamentary vote to elect a new prime minister, possibly Wednesday.
Kenny failed to receive a majority of support from lawmakers in three previous parliamentary votes. Friday's deal means that next time, Fianna Fail will decline to vote for their own party leader, Micheal Martin.
If Fianna Fail lawmakers abstain, Kenny will be certain to receive most votes cast and win re-election as premier, giving him authority to form a new Cabinet.
The fallout from the Feb. 26 election already has produced the longest period of governmental limbo in Ireland since its 1920s independence from Britain.
While Fianna Fail and Fine Gael share similar politics, they remain fierce rivals dating to their origins as enemies in Ireland's 1922-23 civil war that followed independence.

The raspberry has very little storage capacity and reserves due to the very small nature and size of each drupelet which make up the raspberry in total. Think for example of an apple or orange, how much larger they are and by size, have more reserves to draw on.
Mould or rot on the raspberry shows itself on an individual drupelet of the raspberry. Usually it does not spread past one or two drupelets and generally only a few raspberries per punnet can be affected. Hot days, high night time temperatures, humidity sees ideal conditions for development of a rot infection.
Soft raspberries can be a result of being over mature or having been over-watered. Over maturity is tricky as we pick our raspberries at just prior to their optimum peak. This allows for several days in retail and then onto the consumer. Sometimes delays in the retail section can cause a few extra days than what would otherwise be ideal. Raspberries do ripen in the punnet as well.
Over-watering also causes a soft raspberry. This can be more easily identified at picking time as usually the raspberry loses its flavour because of the raspberry having plus optimum levels of water. At Raspberries Tasmania, we are constantly adjusting our irrigation water to match the weather conditions, a tricky task.
Sunburn on the raspberry drupelet can also be of concern. It can lead to a small mould or rot. Unusually hot autumn weather can cause an incidence of this problem.
At picking time any raspberries deemed not suitable for fresh fruit sales are snap frozen for future use in jam, ice cream and many other things.

Palestinian Refugees Suffer in Lebanon
Amnesty International has just published a series of reports on the living conditions of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon since 1948. There is an argument that if Lebanon and other neigbhoring countries provide better conditions for the refugees, then Israel will ultimately benefit because the refugees will no longer need a home called Palestine to return to. Another recent Amnesty International story covers the predicament of Palestinian refugees in Iraq.
Unfortunately as things stand, the Palestinians really don't have any friends or enemies to turn to. Here is the summary of the reports:
Palestinian refugees in Lebanon face discrimination in employment and a lack of access to adequate education and housing.
A new Amnesty International report: Exiled and Suffering: Palestinian refugees in Lebanon, examines the wide range of restrictions that continue to impact on the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian refugees.
More than half of the 300,000 Palestinian refugees residing in Lebanon live in 12 official Palestinian refugee camps. The area of land allocated for these camps has remained largely unchanged since 1948 despite significant population growth. In some households, families of 10 share a single room.
They continue to be denied the right to adequate housing, due to unacceptable levels of habitability and restrictions on property ownership.
In camps in the south of Lebanon, unreasonable restrictions have been imposed on refugees' right to repair or improve their homes. Some refugees have been intimidated, fined and detained simply for seeking to build a brick wall to protect their home from the elements.
Palestinians continue to suffer discrimination and marginalization in the labour market, contributing to high levels of unemployment, low wages and poor working conditions.
The Lebanese authorities recently lifted a ban on 50 of the 70 jobs not permitted to Palestinians, but refugees continue to face obstacles finding employment in such jobs.
This lack of employment prospects has led to a high drop-out rate for Palestinian schoolchildren, who also have limited access to public secondary education. The resultant poverty is exacerbated by restrictions placed on their access to social services.
The Lebanese government must take concrete steps to end all forms of discrimination against Palestinian refugees and to fully protect and uphold their human rights.
The international community must also attempt to find a durable solution for refugees that fully respects and protects their human rights, including their right of return. This may involve providing financial and technical assistance to Lebanon, helping it provide the best possible human rights protection to its Palestinian refugee population.

If the project, called fastMRI, yields the desired results, it will make MRI technology available to more people, expanding access to this key diagnostic tool, Facebook said in a blog post on Monday.
MRI scanners provide doctors and patients with images that typically show a greater level of detail related to soft tissues - such as organs and blood vessels - than is captured by other forms of medical imaging.
But they are relatively slow, taking anywhere from 15 minutes to over an hour, compared with less than a second or up to a minute, respectively, for X-ray and CT scans.
These long scan times can make MRI machines challenging for young children, as well as for people who are claustrophobic or for whom lying down is painful.
Additionally, there are MRI shortages in many rural areas and in other countries with limited access, resulting in long scheduling backlogs.
Making MRI scanners faster has several benefits, including increased access to these devices for patients.
Sufficiently accelerated MRI devices could also reduce the amount of time patients must hold their breath during imaging of the heart, liver, or other organs in the abdomen and torso.
Increased speed could let MRI machines fill the role of X-ray and CT machines for some applications, allowing patients to avoid the ionising radiation associated with those scans.
This NYU-Facebook project will initially focus on changing how MRI machines operate.
Currently, scanners work by gathering raw numerical data in a series of sequential views and turning the data into cross-sectional images of internal body structures that doctors then use to evaluate a patient's health.
The larger the data set to be gathered, the longer the scan will take.
Using AI, it may be possible to capture less data and therefore scan faster, while preserving or even enhancing the rich information content of magnetic resonance images.
The key is to train artificial neural networks to recognise the underlying structure of the images in order to fill in views omitted from the accelerated scan, Facebook said.
The Facebook Artificial Intelligence Research (FAIR) group, believes that though this project will initially focus on MRI technology, its long-term impact could extend to many other medical imaging applications.
For example, the improvements afforded by AI have the potential to revolutionise CT scans as well.
Advanced image reconstruction might enable ultra-low-dose CT scans suitable for vulnerable populations, such as pediatric patients, Facebook said.

Q: subordinate clause I'm looking for a grammatical explanation for this clause

Men tend to talk about fewer subjects, the most popular being work, and sport.

In other words, we could say "..., among which, work and sport are the most popular". But I can't find a grammatical explanation for the first one ".. being work and sport."

A: If you want to phrase it in grammatical terms "being" is a present participle that can replace the finite verb (in this case "are") of a non-restrictive relative clause. The latter is not a subordinate clause but an adjunct (that is it provides supplementary information).

Hey guys ive been squating for over a year. And i know i can bust out reps at around 300lbs but the problem is it seems whenever my legs are at around 90 degrees or lower i almost tip over because my back has trouble holding the weight. I know proper form and how to stay relatively on your heels but it seems the more weight i put on no matter if my legs can handle it my back has trouble.
Do you mean you're having trouble keeping your body upright or do you mean you're going onto your toes and falling forwards?
well in waiting for your reply, if your think its due to strength in your back muscles.... think of trying lower weight without a belt? this would help strengthen your core strength and maybe you would have better control? just one tip I can think of off the top of my head. also i know you might think you have propper form but try videotaping yourself or asking someone who knows what they are doing to watchyou, just for another referance.
yeah im permanent logged on so im always online if im not here sorry..
Try squeezing your shoulder blades together tightly before you get the bar on your back (also gives the bar a nice 'shelf' to sit on). Take a really deep breath before unracking the bar to keep your chest high. Keep shoulder blades squeezed after the bar is unracked, make sure lower back is arched before you start the rep. Hold your breath as you lower yourself down and breath out when the eccentric becomes difficult. Don't look down. Make sure you push your hips back and down.
rows and reverse flys arnt going to be the exercises to help your stability for the squat. I seriously would give goodmornings a try unless you have a problem with them, just remembre. PLEASE start light till you get a feel for them and dont substitute good form for more weight.


On this ninth day of October AD 1832, personally appeared in open court before the Court of Common Pleas in and for the County of Herkimer, now sitting Peter Eckler a resident of the Town of Warren in the County of Herkimer and state of New York, aged seventy-eight years who being first duly sworn according to law doth on his oath make the following declaration in order to obtain the benefit of the Act of Congress passed June 7th 1832.
That at the commencement of the Revolutionary War he resided at a settlement called the * Kyle about sixteen miles south of the Mohawk River within the territory now included in the County of Herkimer above mentioned.
That he was then enrolled in a company of militia commanded by Capt. Henry Eckler and whereof Conrad Olindorff and Timothy Frank were successively Lieutenants, and Adam Staring Ensign. That said company was attached to the regiment of militia commanded by Col. Peter Bellinger.
That he resided at the above mentioned place about three years after the commencement of the war, during which time he was frequently called into actual service to guard the frontier against the ravages of the Indians, that he was constantly equipped and in readiness for service. That he was first called out to Johnstown distant about thirty miles from his then place of residence; this was in the winter season when Capt. Eckler's entire company was called out.
That they staid (stayed) there but a short time and returned there being no fighting at that time. That he was afterwards on several occasions called out and went some times as a volunteer and some times being drafted to Fort Stanwix, a distant about thirty-five miles. On these occasions the company, to which he was attached was commanded by Capt. Eisenlord. That these were alarm occasions and were three or four in number during his residence at the place above mentioned. On these occasions he was sometimes detained at the fort a week and sometimes two weeks, doing duty on guard and otherwise until the alarm subsided. That he with Capt. Eckler's whole company on several occasions of alarm marched to the German Flatts, a settlement on the Mohawk River distant about fifteen miles where they generally made a short stay and returned.
That in the summer of 1777, the whole of Capt. Eckler's company was called out to Fort Stanwix on the Oriskany Creek, that eh went with them and was in the battle at that place at that time when General Herkimer was killed.
That in the spring of the year after the Battle of Oriskany near Fort Stanwix, he with all the inhabitants living at the Kyle abandoned their homes and removed with their families to the Mohawk River, where he assisted under the command of Capt. Abraham Coapman in erecting Fort Plank.
That he was here enrolled in Capt. Copeman's Company of Militia. That Major Joseph House residing at the fort commanded at the fort and in the regiment to which the claimant belonged. That he resided here until the termination of the years when he with those who removed thence with him returned to their farms at the Kyle where their habitations had all been burnt off by the Indians a short time after he and his associates had left them.
That during his residence at Fort Plank he constantly performed his duty in garrisoning the fort by turns and performing other military service when called to other stations and places being constantly equipped and ready for duty.
That he was with Col. Willett at three different battles during his residence at Fort Plank one at Turlock, one at Johnstown and one at West Canada Creek. On these occasions as on many others an alarm was given and all the militia that could be mustered turned out. Col. Willett commanded in the regular service and was at Fort Stanwix at the time of the battle above mentioned at that place.
That during his stay at Fort Plank, he was also frequently called out in pursuit of the Indians and Tories who were constantly committing depredations upon the frontier settlements and in other places, was at Cherry Valley at the burning and murders committed there where he arrived immediately after the enemy had fled. That he helped bury the dead at that place and then returned again to the fort on this last mentioned occasion. Capt. Coapman commanded the company and was also present.
That he verily believes he served in the whole during the war as a soldier at least two years.
That he has no documentary evidence of his services, neither is he able now from recollection alone to state all the instances of his actual engagement, but during his residence at Fort Plank when not abroad on services he was almost exclusively under arms in the fort.
That recollects another instance while residing at Kyle above mentioned and before his removal to Fort Plank when this claimant was out on engagement at Fort Ticonderoga on Lake George where this claimant was engaged in the winter of 1777 in assisting the soldiers in building a bridge across Lake George. That he was out about one month.
That he was at that place under the command of Col. Cox and Capt. Eisenlord. That he also remembers that immediately subsequent to the Battle of Johnstown this claimant with a band of Oneida Indians and militia pursued and overtook Butler the celebrated Tory leader of the Indians and was present when he was shot at West Canada Creek.
That he was born at Fort Plain on the Mohawk River NY, A.D. 1754. That he never has seen any record of his age.
He hereby relinquishes every claim whatever to a pension or annuity except the present and declares that his name is not on the pension roll of the agency or any state.
That since the revolution he has resided at the Kyle in Otsego County NY at the Osquago, Herkimer County NY and at Warren in the said County of Herkimer where he now resides.
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year afore said in open court.
We Jacob A. Young a citizen residing in the Town of Stark and County of Herkimer and State of New York and John Shall residing in the same place hereby certify that we are well acquainted with Peter Eckler who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration. That we believe him to be seventy-eight years of age.
Next is a deposition by his widow, Hannah Eckler aged 80 years of age on 3 November 1852. She states Peter Eckler died 28 November 1834. They were married the 20th day of March in 1818. On Aug 30, 1856 Hanna applied for Bounty Land, she was 85 years old.
Contains all that part of the county bounded northerly by Danube; easterly and southerly by the bounds of the county; and westerly by a line drawn from the easternmost lock of the old canal, on the north side of the Mohawk river at Little Falls, to the head waters of Lake Otsego.
Burr's map of the county shows that parts of Henderson's, L'Hommedieu's, Vaughn's, McNiel's, J. Vroman's, C. Colden's, Livingston's and Lansing's patents are in this town.
This town, before 1817, constituted a part of Minden, Montgomery county. Before the revolution and at the close of that war, before the organization of towns in this state, this territory lay within the limits of Canajoharie district of Tryon county. All the lands in this town, except a portion of L'Hommedieu's and J. Vroman's patents, which lay within its boundaries, were granted by the colonial government before the revolution. As will be seen by a reference to the table of titles, several of these grants were made about one hundred years ago, and a considerable time before the colonial difficulties commenced with the mother country.
There were two small European settlements near the southerly line of the town, before 1775; one on the Otsquago creek, called the Otsquago settlement, comprising, among others, the Shalls (Schalls), the Bronners and Fetherlys, whose descendants are yet found enjoying the fruits won by the martyrdom of their ancestors. The other settlement was at the Kyle, so called. This may have been within the limits of Springfield, and a short distance from the east line of the town of Warren. A family by the name of Eckler or Ecklar, had seated themselves at this place on Henderson's patent, or rather, perhaps, Petrie's purchase. Both of these settlements were broken up during the revolution, and the inhabitants compelled to fly for refuge and protection to Fort Plank, where they remained till the close of the war.


After wanting a bicycle for the longest time, I got for myself one yesterday. It's a B-Twin Elops 3, has a 5 speed gear and it has a dynamo light in front of it which I thought was really functional. At about 200 euro, I thought that it was quite expensive compared to the ones I see sold in Singapore, but I guess it's the standard here.
It's been a while since the last time that I've been cycling but it's a skill that you never lose. In no time at all, I was up and around the neighbourhood. It's really nice being able to reach a place in just a few minutes compared to probably 3 times longer when you're on foot.
But the thing that I didn't expect was how my neighbourhood is full of slopes which can be quite tiring when you're going uphill. You don't feel it so much when you're walking leisurely. But I felt it today! My thighs are surely going to be sore tomorrow. At this point of time, I don't feel too confident of straying too far away from my neighbourhood much less even think of joining a duathlon.
The bicycle that I have is a women's version – the crossbar is lower so that the woman could cross her legs over daintily and wear a skirt if she fancied. But I noticed that on my bicycle, you need to pedal more compared to a regular bicycle. And considering that it's a women's bike, it's quite heavy at 17 kg. I don't trust leaving it outside and lifting it up the stairs is a bit of a pain since it doesn't fit in the elevator. I'll just think of it as a form of strength exercise.
Isn't it absolutely gorgeous? In a sea of industrial looking pannier bags, these look so feminine and charming. It also comes in blue and black, as well as other designs but I find the red one particularly striking.
This bag is from a company in the Netherlands called Basil and they specialise in bicycle assortment from bicycle baskets, bags to accessories.
From the site, I also found side-bags which doubles up as regular shoulder bags. There is a hidden flap in each one which reveals a hook which you attach to your carrier.
I think it's a genius idea and I wouldn't mind getting one of that. It looks roomy enough for me to stuff a lot of things inside.
And there is also the milk-basket which gives you the convenience to put which ever bags and items you want in. And it still looks cute.
Which one would you get? At first I wanted the pannier, then I thought the bag would be great, then the basket … I can't make up my mind!
What cute bags! Now that I'm getting comfortable on my bike, I'm thinking I should start using it for commuting (though that'd be a bit of a long ride, I think almost an hour), or at least for running errands. Having storage like that on my bike just might be enough motivation to make me do so!
Hi Margaret! They are so cute aren't they? I still can't choose which one to get … hahaha … Anyway, I think you could get them from the states. I'm sure that there are several retailers there. I was popping in your blog for a bit and wow, I'm so impressed that you're doing triathlons!


Everything we do, we believe is an expression of our passion for art.
The way we do this is by making great art boxes, packaging peoples art with care, and making sure we deliver your artwork safely.
Our involvement in the Arts started over 3 decades ago, building and selling art. We began by making our own stretchers out of cedar. When we sold artwork overseas, we encountered our first real challenge, finding professionals who were easy to work with, passionate about art, and could handle our work with care.
Frustrated by the lack of appropriate professionals, we began making our own crates and ended up designing a unique custom made artbox that fulfilled all our personal requirements.
Others got to see what we were doing and they loved our boxes. Soon we developed close relationships with key people in our industry and started to use our unique custom made artbox design to suit their requirements. When we started out everyone knew us as Picture Packaging, now know as Picpac, we are considered an integral support to the art industry in this country.
Picpac has since grown into a significant art logistics company. Now we provide an important service to dealer galleries, art institutions, museums, auction houses and private collectors. Please be assured that we love your art as much as you do, because our passion is art.
Our team is experienced, dedicated, and passionate about providing our customers with a completely integrated, confidential and personalised service. We ship both nationally and internationally.
It's our job to keep your artwork safe and secure at all times. Let us take care of your artwork.


When Donald Trump first declared his candidacy for President of the United States, most analysts predicted that he has an incredibly small chance of becoming the Republican nominee. Probably the most prominent of these was Nate Silver from FiveThirtyEight. He estimated that Trump had a 2% chance of winning the nomination. This estimation was based on multiple significant historic data points about past candidates, such as the background they came from, whether they were widely endorsed by the party, and their past successes and failures. This is a standard prediction approach based on the underlying assumption that what you are trying to predict (Trump) is comparable to its historical antecedents (past GOP candidates) and thus can be evaluated according to their performance. However, as it is clear to us now, in some unique cases like the Trump phenomenon, we could only learn little from recent direct history.
A similar problem crops up in polling. Political analysts use polls in order to estimate the likelihood of a candidate's success. However, polls are not perfect, and usually suffer from multiple types of biases — such as the effect of non-responders, the tradeoff of polling by calling landlines versus cellphones, and changes in voting turnout trends. To overcome these obstacles, political statisticians build models that try to correct polling errors by using data from previous elections. This method is based on the underlying assumption that current and historical polls suffer from the same type of errors. For example, analysts might assume that the population of non-responders is distributed similarly across time — an assumption that may or may not be true.
Compounding both problems, since presidential elections are a relatively rare event, our historical data is limited; in other words, the sample size is relatively small and outdated.
Predictive statisticians in the private sector face similar problems when trying to predict unexpected events, or when working from flawed or incomplete data. Simply turning the work over to machines won't help: most machine learning and statistical mining techniques also hold the assumption that historical data, which is used to train the machine-learning model, behaves similarly to the target data, to which the model is later applied. However, this assumption often does not hold as the data is obsolete, and it is often expensive or impractical to get the additional recent data that holds this assumption.
Thus in order to stay relevant, statisticians will have to get out of the purist position of fitting models that are based solely on direct historical data, and to enrich their models with recent data from similar domains that could better capture current trends.
This is known as Transfer Learning, a field that helps to solve these problems by offering a set of algorithms that identify the areas of knowledge which are "transferable" to the target domain. This broader set of data can then be used to help "train" the model. These algorithms identify the commonalities between the target task, recent tasks, previous tasks, and similar-but-not-the-same tasks. Thus, they help guide the algorithm to learn only from the relevant parts of the data.
In the example of the U.S. presidential elections, we might use this method to understand which international economic and social phenomena might predict the rise of an unexpected candidate like Trump. For instance, while the Trump phenomenon is new to the recent American political climate, on a global level political scholars have been observing this trend for quite a while. In "Trump, Brexit, and the rise of Populism: Economic have-nots and cultural backlash" Ronald Inglehart and Pippa Norris examine the recent rising support of populist parties in many western societies. In Britain, for example, while the UK Independence Party won only one seat in the May 2015 general election, its populist rhetoric fueled anti-European and anti-immigration sentiment, which later led them to win the EU Brexit referendum. Inglehart and Norris find many similarities between the populist rise in different countries; the same effects of economic insecurity in post-industrial economies and a backlash against diversifying societies have driven the same groups of voters to the ballots.
Politics offers only one case study that highlights the increasing need for novel statistical techniques that can adjust to frequently changing data. The problems that arise from using historical data are also prevalent in many other sectors. While businesses tend to make strategic investments using historical data, for example, we often ignore the possibility that the reality has already changed.
The small-sample-size problem crops up in other places, too. Consider a company with a successful operation in the U.S. that wants to expand to the German market. How can they translate the knowledge they've gained in the U.S. market and apply it to the German expansion? Is there any way to minimize the costs or the risks? Transfer learning methods can help the model to overweight the similarities between the U.S. and the German markets, such as population groups that share similar demographic and economic characteristics, and to underweight the dissimilarities. From a business perspective, this will enable decision-makers to simulate the performance of the company in an environment similar to that of the target market.
It's true that historical data is enormously valuable in making predictions. However, the ability to use more advanced techniques in data science will help leverage information from current comparable events, which is crucial for making more accurate predictions – especially when the historical data is limited, or the environment is uncertain. To avoid critical mistakes in prediction, data analysts need to adopt new methods that will enable them to translate knowledge from different time periods and domains.

Q: Which openbox config file to use in Lubuntu? In Lubuntu 22.04, I found two config files for openbox at  /etc/xdg/openbox/rc.xml and /etc/xdg/xdg-Lubuntu/openbox/rc.xml, respectively. (And neither of them are symlinks). So I wonder:
Which one is the openbox config file actually used by Lubuntu? (or are they used by Lubuntu at all?)
Also, if I want to change the config file, e.g. to disable a shortcut key, should I change one of the above files, or copy the openbox/ folder above to ~/.config/, and then edit in there? (, as suggested in the question: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1243088)
I searched around, but couldn't find a definitive answer except the fragments above. Also, by default, I don't seem to have ~/.config/openbox folder.

A: You will find an answer to your question here:
https://discourse.lubuntu.me/t/lubuntu-22-04-1-lts-is-released/3528/7
Just create an openbox directory in ~/.config/.

Gun shop owners react to handgun ruling
June 28, 2010 (CHICAGO)
In northwest suburban Elmwood Park the owner of Illinois Gun Works says business has picked up since the decision. People at the shop's firing range are pleased with the ruling.
The firing range was busy Monday at Illinois Gun Works in northwest suburban Elmwood Park.
"We live in a city with a very high crime rate. It's well known that a lot of the criminals have access to illegal firearms and I think it's only fair that the citizens should have the right to defend themselves," said Luke Lavecchia, gun owner.
The shop's owner says he's been flooded with calls and emails all day. He says Chicago's plans for more gun regulations won't work because criminals will still get guns.
"I think the law abiding citizen suffers through it all because they have to abide by all of the rules and regulations. And it doesn't really do much for the criminals. I don't see anything that they've done as far as any gun control measure has any great impact on crime," said Don Mastrianni, owner, Illinois Gun Works.
Mastrianni says he supports making training for gun owners mandatory.


The Long Island Section of the NY Metro Chapter of the APA recently marked the twentieth anniversary of the Arthur H. Kunz scholarship fund—a program that has become an important tool for professional development in the region. The fund was established to memorialize Arthur H. Kunz, a noted Long Island planner who died suddenly in 1993 at the age of 59. Arthur was the assistant director of the Suffolk County Planning Department starting in 1969 and become the director in 1989. He also served in neighboring Nassau County where he was appointed chief planner in 1958. He served at a time of significant development on Long Island when the population of the two counties more than doubled to almost three million people. Professionally trained at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Arthur was committed to preserving and enhancing Long Island by balancing growth and development with environmental protection.
News of his death stunned the planning community. Arthur was a highly respected professional who was universally viewed as competent, nonpartisan and a man of great integrity. In addition to his knowledge and experience in the planning field, he had a friendly personality and was always willing to help others. Most notably, for many budding planners he was a mentor and role model.
Arthur was a long-time member of APA and an enthusiastic attendee of the annual national planning conference. He greatly enjoyed mobile workshops and seeing new ideas in practice. He always enjoyed showing a slideshow of the photographs he had taken on mobile workshops upon return from each year's conference and sharing what he had seen so that others could learn from his experience.
In 1993 the LI Section decided to memorialize Arthur in a manner fitting his contribution to the planning profession. According to then Suffolk County planning director Stephen M. Jones, a memorial fund was established to help in the purchase of books and other resource materials for a research library located in the offices of the Suffolk Planning Department. The Arthur Kunz Memorial Library is still an important asset for planners and researchers across the Island and includes many unique historical documents, as well as reference books and PAS Reports. In 2005, the LI Section turned to the Long Island Community Foundation, nonprofit, charitable organization, to manage the scholarship fund and guarantee permanence for this important legacy.
The memorial fund was expanded in the mid-nineties to also provide scholarships to planning students. This awarding of the scholarships became an annual event of the LI Section that remains a highly popular program. In addition, the scholarship was expanded to also provide opportunities for new planners (up to five years on the job) to attend the APA national conference. Typically, up to three scholarships of $1500 are awarded each year to cover the cost of the conference, APA membership and expenses. The only additional requirement is that awardees attend at least one mobile workshop at the conference. "Arthur spent most of his time at national conferences attending mobile workshops. He believed that one could learn so much more by seeing good planning in action," says Tom Isles, AICP, a longtime colleague of Arthur's.
Left to right: 2015 Arthur Kunz Memorial Scholarship recipients Gabrielle Alper, Emily Humes & Megan Porter, with Section Director Sean Sallie, Treasurer Kathy Eiseman and Secretary Ann Fangmann.
One of the 2009 recipients was Maxwell Sokol, AICP, at that time a planning student at the Columbia University Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation. Mr. Sokol reflected on the experience by saying "I have a profound appreciation and respect for the work of the Arthur Kunz, and I was honored to have the opportunity to attend the 2009 APA National Planning Conference in his memory. My experience at the Conference not only reinforced my commitment to making Long Island a more sustainable live/work/play destination, but it also inspired me to give back to the planning profession by immersing myself in the admirable work of the APA NY Metro Chapter and Long Island Section." Kathy Eiseman, AICP, who is the Treasurer of the Long Island Section recalls Max' enthusiasm following the conference. "The excitement he radiated when speaking about the conference was really inspirational! I felt that the scholarship had made a meaningful difference for Max and his future career in planning." Perhaps this is true, since today, Max is a Lead Planner with WSP│Parsons Brinckerhoff and President of the APA NY Metro Chapter.
Members of the American Planning Association's Long Island Section of the New York Metro Chapter are private and municipal planners, public officials, and concerned citizens that work or reside in Nassau or Suffolk Counties. The Section offers numerous educational and social events including workshops, panels, guest speakers, and joint meetings with other professional groups.

Someone made a music video with Shawn and Oscar! LOL! So I uploaded it. heh!
I didn't think there's a need for Shawn and Oscar fan made music video, if anything there should be one for Shawn and Huang Xuan. Any who it's still funny.
That girl looks so much like Ady An!
I definitely agree with you that SFHY is not suitable for ruling the world. We can fantasize it and use it to dramatize the plot but when it comes down to it I would not want SFHY to be the ruler of the whole country. I don't even think he's thought it all out yet. He's still probably just bent on getting revenge and justice for his dead family and not even thinking about the future good of the country as a whole (his clansman and the empire). It would be bad if the world did fall into his hands because he hasn't display the qualities of a good and civil leader because he grew up under the tribal way where everything is survival of the fittest. He wouldn't be able to rule and judge fairly for everyone. I would definitely prefer someone like Hanjiang to be the ruler because he's noble and fair to everyone he meets. He cares for them regardless of their background. The only problem is that he could care less about being the ruler because he has such a carefree personality. I think MYS would be good because he doesn't like hurting people but he's too withdrawn and it would be hard for people to trust in him unlike Hanjiang, who's personality allow him to establish good relationships with everyone. I would prefer SFHY as the ruler of the unified. He can establish a unified system where all the tribes share goods and prosper together while hanjiang rule the country.
Also not a fan of General Muru. He's loyal to the emperor, not to the people. He basically said that he was willing to let all his soldiers die to preserve his honor and the emperor's face. The emperor isn't the worst ever in terms of policy, but I think it was mentioned that the economics aren't the best. The problem with trying to make these shows reflect modern values is that I start thinking, why not overthrow the monarchy and start democratically electing leaders?
The younger generation seems to be better and I hope they bring some change! Overall, still a much better drama than the recent ones.
Don't even get me started on the emperor's moral values or lack thereof! Even in a paraplegic state he was declaring his love for Yi Rong to the scroll with her painting. He chose to ignore Yi Rong's physical body and allowed the empress to torment the woman at will. I will never understand that hypocrisy! It would have been kinder to kill her instead of leaving her to be tortured for 20+ years. I am looking forward to him being overthrown or aging out.
Finished ep 43! The Hanzhou storyline is still my favourite. I like how SFHY pulling out the sword was just the very beginning of him becoming the Tieqin. There's still a long way to go, he isn't a leader atm and would not be able to unite the tribes based solely on a supposed prophecy. It makes sense that he wanted the word to be spread that Helan Tieyuan was the destined one and not him. Really rooting for all the tribes to become unified and regain their freedom in Hanzhou. Oh and grown up Shuqin Ziyan has finally appeared and wow she is one tough lady.
Love watching Prince Ye and Muyun De, so sly and evil but somewhat humorous in how they interact with each other. Such as one scene where a serious convo ends with Prince Ye telling Muyun De he's stepping on his robes lol.
Haven't seen much of MYS in the latest eps I've watched. Will be interesting to see what happens next and how he'll become a more active player in the grand scheme of things.


derailment (just above the Hydo Visitor Centre).
Maybe this post would be better placed in the News section.
Message obsolete.... Now it's the Crianlarich to Tarbet road (A82) that is closed nightly, 10pm to 6 am, weeknights, for an extended period.


In August 2018, Assistant Superintendent for Business and Management Services Patrick Cahill presented a proposed Capital Improvement Plan to the Monroe-Woodbury Board of Education. The proposed plan would replace the outdated air conditioning system in Monroe-Woodbury High School and implement many updates to the high school athletic fields. The $8.4 million dollar project would have ZERO increase on the tax levy and no impact to taxpayers. Monroe-Woodbury residents would be asked to approve a resolution to use capital reserve funds to help cover the cost of the project.
