Is the Ballon d'Or what fuels Lionel Messi? (1:34)
Ale Moreno feels competing with Cristiano Ronaldo for the Ballon d'Or is the ultimate fuel for Lionel Messi. (1:34)
Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde said the football world must get used to the idea that Lionel Messi will retire in the near future, adding that he will cherish being able to tell people he was able to coach the Argentine.
Messi, ranked the No. 1 forward in the ESPN FC 100, was crowned world player of the year for a record sixth time when he received the Ballon d'Or in Paris on Monday and set alarm bells ringing by saying in his speech "you enjoy these moments more because my retirement is getting nearer."
Is Fati the answer to Barca's post-Messi question?

"It's something natural, it seems normal, Leo is 32-years-old and although I don't think he's thinking about retiring now it's something which is in the air," Valverde told reporters ahead of his side's La Liga game at home to Real Mallorca on Saturday.
"But I don't think we should go crazy about it, we have to look at it naturally. Everyone thinks about retirement when they get to a certain age, but just because he's thinking about it doesn't mean he's going to retire in the next three days."
Valverde added that he may only begin to truly appreciate Messi's greatness in a few years' time, comparing the forward's impact on the game as that of the late Argentine Alfredo di Stefano, who led Real Madrid to five consecutive European Cups.
"I'm aware of how lucky I am but sometimes the demands of everyday life means you are not allowed to enjoy everything. I think you appreciate these things more with time," he added.
"I'm aware that I have the enormous fortune of being able to say in a few years I coached Leo.
"In the same way that older people talk about Di Stefano, we will be able to tell future generations that we lived through the Messi era and some people like me will be able to say we enjoyed it close by."
Messi has scored 11 goals this season for Barca and struck a superb winner in last week's 1-0 win at Atletico Madrid which kept the Catalans top of the standings, locked on 31 points with Real Madrid.
Barca will still be without injured trio Nelson Semedo, Ousmane Dembele and Jordi Alba for the game with promoted Mallorca, who are 17th in the standings and have lost four of their last six league outings.
Other players who will be out following training injuries will be Arthur and Ansu Fati, the latter who recently signed a new deal until 2022 with a buy-out clause of €170 million.

Q: Where to convert data to HTML-table: PHP / Javascript / I need an advice on how to write my website.
In my DB I have some data that I want to dynamically load into different frames on my website. Question is: Where do I convert the raw data to HTML-code?
I currently see the following options:

*

*convert it to HTML in a PHP function and load that via Ajax on my page

*Get the raw data via Ajax and convert it in Javascript to HTML-code

*Write a HTML-Table manually and then insert the data into it via Ajax

All three of those options have their disadvantages - for instance I need to be able to select the table rows with jQuery which I don't know how to do when the table HTML-code is loaded into the page with Ajax... to write the HTML-table manually would solve that problem, but the table needs to have a variable number of rows.
Are there options that I haven't thought about yet? Any other advice for me?

A: I would use some combination of 1 and 3 methods, with using some sort of filecache or memcache but not database(is must slower). You must generate html once for needed block with needed parameters and cache it into the file, so it would be something like(pseudocode):
$aParams = ... lets tell that this is your params here;
$sBlockKey = 'my_block_'.md5($aParams);
if (cache::exists($sBlockKey)){
  $sMyBlock = cache::get($sBlockKey);
} else {
  $sMyBlock = generateMyBlockHtml($aParams);
  cache::add($sBlockKey, $sMyBlock);
}

return $sMyBlock;

In this way you can load it by ajax then if you need.

A: It depends, but I would go with 1 or 2 unless the number of rows and columns is constant.
Option 1 has the advantage that generating HTML in PHP can be done more pragmatically than in Javascript, so if you need to make something really quick, or you have a template system in place on the server side already, try option 1. A huge downside of this approach is that you have to trust the server to send 'sane' HTML; if you don't use SSL for the AJAX calls, a simple MITM attack can easily inject exploitable XSS code, and if the server for some reason sends broken HTML, it is hard to detect and probably impossible to recover from.
So normally, I'd prefer option 2. I wouldn't even bother with HTML at this point, instead, I'd just manipulate the DOM directly, that is:

*

*loop over data rows; for each row, construct a tr element and append it to the table's body

*

*loop over columns; for each row, construct a td element and append it to the tr; use .text() to add content to the cell.

Example code:
function fillTable(data) {
    var tbody = $('<tbody/>');
    data.each(function (row) {
        var tr = $('<tr/>');
        tbody.append(tr);
        row.each(function (cell) {
            var td = $('<td/>');
            tr.append(td);
            td.text(cell);
        });
    });
    $('#myTable>tbody').replaceWith(tbody);
}

This way, you don't have to worry about HTML encoding (and thus, XSS), because you are injecting DOM nodes directly - the browser won't do any HTML parsing at all.

A: I am using this two jquery plugins http://datatables.net/ and http://www.trirand.com/blog/ it may be a kind of overload but you will get rather flexible way how to display tables on your page for dynamicaly loaded data and both they have good way how to handle rows selection, formating and so on.

Otneil was great! He was very informative and personable. He took/shared lots of photos AND gave us a list of tour stops which is most welcomed as my memory isn't that great.
Take an early evening stroll along the "Walk of Fame" and soak up the atmosphere of Old Hollywood at its iconic bars, lounges, speakeasies, and mobster hangouts. Admire the Art Deco architecture and opulent theatres flanking Hollywood Boulevard, while hearing tales of Hollywood folklore and Golden Age gossip. Fuel yourself along the way with a few drinks and a light snack.
Go behind the scenes — behind the beautiful Art Deco facades and bright neon lights — where these bars, lounges and restaurants are host to celebrity lore, ghoststories, and maybe even star sightings.
The tour, and our guide was fantastic! We weren't sure what to expect as this was our first Urban Adventure, but the evening far surpassed our expectations. We had some locals and some out-of-towners in our group and everyone learned something new and enjoyed the stops. Fun to see the bars and restaurants that were popular during Hollywood's hay day and we have added a few to the list of future dinner and drinks excursions. I can't recommended this enough--we had so much fun and know that this will not be our last Urban Adventure!


2013 and 2014 figures show that our country has ranked in the first 40 places for the first time on a global level.
Prestigious international organization "The Heritage Foundation" in cooperation with "Wall Street Journal" has published the recent figures on the index of the Freedom of Commerce for the 2016 report of Economic Freedom, which is soon expected to come out and which ranks 177 countries of the world.
In the Heritage Foundation's analysis, the countries that have received high scores in the Freedom of Commerce index are likely to have higher GNP per capital, a low level of poverty and a cleaner environment.
Albania ranks 33rd as far as Freedom of Commerce is concerned, leaving behind countries of the region and EU member countries such as Croatia and Greece.
Starting from 2006, the Freedom of Commerce index for Albania has seen a growth above the world average.The 33th place where Albania has recently been ranked, is the best ranking of all times for our country.
The Economic Freedom index is closely related to the different fees of a country which enable or not facilities in exports and imports.

Does My Child Need to Wear a Helmet in the Bike Trailer?
What Is a Bike Trailer?
To be specific, a bicycle trailer is a simple frame with wheels attached to it which is used to transport something from one place or another by a bike, be it cargo or human beings (children).
If you will search the net, there is mix response to our desired question with most of them saying YES. The underlying reason for this reaction is that the helmet will protect your child from injuries should in case the bike had an accident, and it will also help him, or she in developing the habit that he/she should always wear a helmet while riding a bike.
If you want the safety of your child, you must always buy a trailer that is designed, tested and manufactured to meet specific safety standards.
But, though they are safe, the next question that arises up after this is that, are these trailers really comfortable to ride after wearing a helmet?
The reason for putting up this question was because the trailer seems to be uncomfortable most of the times for our kids because the trailer is too small and wearing a helmet after sitting in it makes the back of the seat pushing the helmet making it a less ideal ride for your child.
To prevent this, one solution to it is just to fold a towel and put that folded towel behind his/her back where he/she sits; this will eventually set them forward preventing the push, and making the ride more comfortable.
The trailer can be made much better for your child if you support your child's head from both the sides by using padding so that the head could not bobble too much, particularly in the situation where the child dozes off, and you are not aware of it.
To be more accurate for a safe and comfortable ride for your child in a trailer, one should use a trailer with low mounted hitches. These bike trailers are more stable than the others, and we can see that most of them are now made that way only.
We also want that the trailer should be constructed in such a way that it must prevent a rollover situation. This situation is entirely dependent on how the rider rides the bike because he/she should ride it in such a way that no stone or obstacle must come in between the wheels of the trailer. Also, the roads that you travel on with your child must be smooth to have a vibration free, comfortable ride for your child.
Concluding this article, one can only say that trailers are the safest and most easy way to take your young child along with you, but this situation is right only as long as they are comfortable for them and may not injure them much if it meets up with an unavoidable situation.

Nearly a billion people are living on the edge of an emergency. It's called hunger.
How would it feel if you had to go to bed hungry every night? If every day of your life, you worried if you could provide enough food for your family? If you had to watch your children fail to grow and thrive because they didn't have enough to eat?
This is the daily reality for every seventh person in the world – and for one in every four children in developing countries.
Women and girls are particularly at risk: when food is scarce, they are the first to go short, or even go without.
The fact is that there's enough food in the world to feed everyone, but not everyone gets enough food to eat.
That's an injustice. And it has to stop.
CARE works to provide food and nutritional support to people in desperate need. And we work to help people find sustainable ways to make sure they know where their next meal is coming from, and can watch their families grow and thrive.
Nyaboth Kalang with seeds provided by CARE to people affected by the conflict in South Sudan. "I have seven children. The youngest here is one-and-a-half years old. If I am lucky, I find food for him once a day," she said. CARE distributes seeds such as cowpeas, tomato, eggplant, and sorghum to households in Jonglei state, one of the areas most affected by the conflict.
At times like these, so many forces come together at once that countries and regions become gripped in a major food crisis. In 2012, people across the Sahel region of Africa endured a food crisis that affected 18.7 million. In 2011, a devastating drought in the Horn of Africa meant more than 12 million people were in need of immediate food aid.
During both emergencies, CARE was there to help, providing life-saving food, nutrition, and medical care for hungry and malnourished people, especially children.
Every year, we respond to around 30 emergencies, from large-scale crises like South Sudan, to helping people affected by seasonal drought, storms or floods, or people displaced by conflict or political instability.
Drought in Somalia means mothers don't know where their children's next meal is coming from.

Colorado Avalanche News & Notes
Goodbye Kyle Cumiskey. Cumiskey traded to the Ducks.
By Sandie Gauthier Oct 8, 2011, 9:53pm MDT
Share All sharing options for: Goodbye Kyle Cumiskey. Cumiskey traded to the Ducks.
During the Detroit vs Colorado game it was announced that Kyle Cumiskey has been traded to the Anaheim Ducks for Jake Newton and a conditional pick. If Cumiskey plays more than 45 games for the Ducks, Colorado gets a fifth round pick. If Cumiskey cannot earn that much ice time, the Avalanche will get a 7th round pick.
Newton, 23, is currently playing for Anaheim's AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch. The San Jacinto, Calif., native was signed by Anaheim as a free agent on March 17, 2010 after playing one season at Northeastern University in 2009-10. He was selected to the Hockey East All-Rookie Team at Northeastern.
Kyle was drafted 222nd overall, by the Avalanche in the 2005 draft. Cumiskey was only able to play 18 games last year due to injury. He does have to pass a medical on Monday.
Jake Newton is, at 6 foot 3 and 200 pounds, a fairly big defenseman. He has also played in both the USHL All-Star game and USHL Second All-Star Team in '09 and in the NCAA (Hockey East) All-Rookie Team in '10.
Welcome to the Colorado Avalanche Mr. Jake Newton.

As part of the 2019 Cleveland Humanities Festival, a story of the Cleveland Institute of Art's artistic and educational commitment to the natural world will unfold on the Toby Lewis Media Mesh on the northwest facade of CIA's George Gund Building, 11610 Euclid Avenue, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Through showcasing student work from CIA's 15 majors—including the Biomedical Art and Industrial Design, and from such courses as Landscape Photography and Environment, Art + Engaged Practice—this exhibition of images hopes to open a conversation about the vital role of artists and designers in not only representing the natural world but through collaboration with professional and grassroots partners, increasing understanding of the science of nature as well as addressing one of society's most pressing concerns: the environment.
This exhibition reflects CIA's commitment to the community, through which all degree-seeking students at CIA complete a minimum of three credits of Engaged Practice, with our world-class faculty connecting students with community partners to collaborate on real-world, professional projects, thus building better futures for themselves and for the world, one project at a time. For more info, contact EngagedPractice@cia.edu.


We all have spare time. However, it's possible to be so busy, to have such a long list of things to do, that you actually feel guilty taking a bit of time to flake out in front of the television set, read a not-so-literary book or take a mid-afternoon nap.
Even visiting with family and friends is something you can check off your to-do list — the "nourishing friendships" line item that you never quite write down but feel guilty if you don't do it.
This is the typical lifestyle of a person who works and/or raises children. But what about when you retire? When you wake up in the morning and there's no place you have to be and the children are all grown and (mostly) self-sufficient?
We spend a big part of our adult lives planning and saving for retirement. This is an area where we can help. As financial professionals, we are here to help you create a retirement income strategy that you can feel confident about.
However, once you create a retirement income strategy, have you thought about a plan for how you will spend the 40 or 50 hours a week during retirement that you previously spent at your job?
Retirement isn't all leisure and social activity. With today's more transient society, more people end up in pre-retirement neighborhoods and friendships that were not lifelong. Along the way, individuals and couples start entertaining what they would like to do during retirement. Play more golf with your foursome. Spend more time barbecuing and hanging out with the next-door neighbors. Go sailing with your spouse.
The problem with these vague plan ideas is that they may not be compatible with the people you want to spend time with in retirement. It's unlikely your golf buddies will all retire at the same time you do. The neighbors might be planning to move away to their retirement dream destination. Your spouse might be prone to seasickness, or consider a weekend shopping in New York City far more preferable.
While you may need to have more conversations about those "big plans" with your family and friends, what about your day-to-day activities in retirement? Perhaps you should think about an alternative, part-time work situation that you would enjoy. Or volunteer your time for a cause for which you've always felt a special tug. After all, people retiring today at age 65 could live another 20 to 30 years.
A recent survey found that two-thirds of workers age 50 and older either plan to work past age 65 or not retire at all. If you are considering a working retirement, note that experts say you shouldn't take off too much time between jobs.
Even with retirement as an excuse, you don't want to have long employment gaps. Things change quickly in the work world — particularly with technology — and you don't want to get too far behind the curve when it comes to new processes and trends.
Experts also caution that age discrimination still exists, so your best bet is to use your network and connections to help secure a gig. If you just apply online to job postings, you could appear overqualified and too expensive for a position, or underqualified if you're thinking of changing career path.
Offering to volunteer your time and expertise can be a good way for you and a potential employer to test the waters to see if it's a good fit for a future paid position.
Whatever you do, consider that a plan for how to spend your time in retirement is just as important as a plan for your financial well-being.

Just before Christmas, the first trailer for the Sundance selected indie drama Kumiko, the Treasure Hunter arrived, just in time for the snow to start hitting the Northern part of the United States, which is perfect for the snowy setting of the film. If you haven't watched the trailer yet, the film follows a young woman from Japan, who watches Joel & Ethan Coen's Fargo on VHS, believing it's a documentary. And this inspires her to head to wintry North Dakota to try and find the buried suitcase full of money from the film. Like all good stories of buried treasure, this is about the journey, not the loot. And now we have a bright, colorful illustrated poster, which contrasts the mostly stark, snowy color palette of the film itself. Look now!

Home Literature and the Arts Literature in Other Modern Languages Scandinavian Literature Icelandic literature
Icelandic literature
Icelandic literature, the literature of Iceland. For the earliest literature of Iceland, see Old Norse literature.
With Iceland's loss of political independence (1261–64) came a decline in literature, although the linguistic tradition continued and the old writings were still venerated. In the 13th and 14th cent. the sagas of antiquity flourished; many were based on Eddic poems (see Edda). Chivalric romances appeared c.1300, emphasizing classical and ecclesiastical themes and showing French influence. From the 14th to the middle of the 16th cent. many foreign works were translated; Old Norse works were copied and compiled, and new religious poems were written in the old meters. The 14th cent. also saw the development of the rímur, metrically ingenious narrative poetry based on the sagas; it was popular until the 19th cent. and was revived in the 20th.
The Sixteenth to Nineteenth Centuries
The Protestant Reformation, reaching Iceland in the 16th cent., turned literary emphasis to hymns and illuminations of the Protestant faith. Einar Sigurdsson (1538–1626) was the great spiritual poet of the age. The first printing press was brought to Iceland in 1528 by Bishop Jón Aresson. From the Reformation until the late 18th cent. it was under church control; secular works were circulated in manuscript. After 1550, German and Danish influences were strong.
The great secular poets of the 17th cent. were Hallgrímur Petursson (1614–74), author of the Passion Hymns, and the satirist Stefan Olafsson (1620–88). Neoclassicism dominated literary style in the late 18th cent. In the early 19th cent. Árni Magnusson compiled a library of ancient Icelandic masterpieces.
The Creation of a Modern Icelandic Style
Continental romanticism and a newly aroused nationalism fed the romantic revival begun in the 1830s by the poets Bjarni Thorarensen (1786–1841) and Jónas Hallgrímsson (1807–45). The first writer of the modern Icelandic short story, Hallgrímsson also influenced Jón Thóroddsen, who wrote the first published Icelandic novel. This movement, whose practitioners created what became the classic Icelandic style of the 19th and 20th cent., was continued by Grimur Thomsen (1820–96), writer of heroic narrative poems; Benedikt Grondal (1826–1907), romantic and humorous poet; Steingrímur Thorsteinsson (1831–1913), lyric poet, satirist, and translator; and Matthías Jochumsson (1835–1920), whose plays mark the beginning of modern Icelandic drama. The towering figure of the period was the historian and statesman Jón Sigurðsson.
The periodical Verdandi [the present], founded in 1882, advanced a new realism—strongly socialistic, individualistic, and anticlerical, and influenced by the Danish critic Georg Brandes. Notable realists include the short-story writer and social critic Gestur Palsson (1852–91); the Icelandic-Canadian poet Stephan G. Stephansson (1853–1927); and the anticlerical satirist and lyric poet Thorsteinn Erlingsson (1858–1914). Einar H. Kvaran (1859–1938), at first a realist, later turned to religious and spiritual themes in his short stories about the poor in Reykjavík. Jón Trausti (pseud. of Guðmundur Magnusson, 1873–1918) in his fiction depicted medieval as well as modern Iceland.
The Twentieth Century
The 20th cent. saw the rise of a more introspective writing, influenced by Nietzsche and the French symbolists. One group of writers, part of the Icelandic colony in Copenhagen, wrote in Danish to reach a wider public. They were led by Johann Sigurjonsson (1880–1919), a romantic dramatist. Others were the romantic novelist Gunnar Gunnarsson and the cosmopolitan dramatist Guðmundur Kamban. A neoromantic movement arose in the 1920s; it had as a leading spirit the poet, scholar, and critic Sigurdur Nordal, author of the prose poem Hel (1919). Among the neoromantics were the novelists Guðmundur Hagalin and Kristmann Guðmundsson and the lyric poets Davið Stefánsson and Stefan Sigurdsson.
With the urbanization of Iceland's population came the rise of a working class and new patterns of life and thought. Kamban and Trausti early became socialists; Hagalin turned from conservative journalism to become thoroughly identified with the new socialist middle class. The most noted writer of this period was the Nobel laureate Halldor K. Laxness. The establishment of British and American bases in Iceland during World War II introduced foreign literary influence, and Icelandic independence (1944) increased nationalist and patriotic emphasis. In the 1950s the introspective "atom poets," including Stefan H. Grimsson and Hannes Sigfursson, won acclaim. Major writers of the late 20th cent. include Agnar Thórðarson, Elias Mar, Oddur Björnsson, Hannes Pétursson, and Jökull Jakobsson.
See S. Einarsson, History of Icelandic Prose Writers, 1800–1940 (1948) and A History of Icelandic Literature (1957); R. Beck, History of Icelandic Poets, 1800–1940 (1950); G. Turville-Petre, Origins of Icelandic Literature (1953); G. Jones, ed., Erik the Red, and Other Icelandic Sagas (1961).

Icelandic literature Early Icelandic literature emerged in the 13th century from the oral tradition of Eadic and Skaldic poetry, both of which were based on ancient Icelandic mythology. Other early writings (14th–16th centuries) include the sagas of Norse monarchs, translations of foreign romances and religious works. From the 14th to 19th centuries, the rímur, a narrative verse poem, was the dominant form. The 19th century was probably the most important period in the development of Icelandic literature, with the rise of Icelandic realism late in the period. Important 20th-century writers include Gunnar Gunnarsson (1889–1975) and Halldór Laxness.

Feb 10, 2016 • By Grant Moos
How can yogurt make electricity?
The boom in Greek yogurt has also led to a dramatic increase in waste. But our facility in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, may be the only Greek yogurt plant anywhere to produce electricity from that waste.
Since August of 2015, the plant has been processing its leftover whey from Yoplait Greek lines and using it to produce 10 percent (1.6 megawatts) of the plant's electrical needs.
The large "anaerobic digester" on the far right is filled with Greek yogurt whey, which serves as food for self-renewing bacteria. The bacteria breaks down the whey to produce methane, which fuels a generator to make electricity. The other tanks are part of our Murfreesboro plant's wastewater treatment facility.
In addition, excess heat from its biogas generator has reduced the plant's natural gas needs by an additional 10 percent.
"This is a win-win for everyone involved – from the community to General Mills," says David Tincher, plant manager. "Not only are we reducing our greenhouse gas footprint by about 9,000 metric tons per year, but we're also saving roughly $2.4 million annually."
Greek yogurt is made from milk which has had its cream and whey separated to achieve the right protein and density. While it takes a gallon of milk to make a gallon of traditional yogurt, it takes three gallons of milk to make one gallon of Greek yogurt.
That creates the problem of significant leftover Greek whey. And the Greek whey contains too many organic solids to send directly to the municipal wastewater treatment plant.
In the past, this waste was trucked and spread onto a farm field – more than 15 tanker truckloads a day.
In 2014, the plant constructed a six million gallon covered holding tank, known as an anaerobic digester, at the plant's waste water pre-treatment facility. The Greek whey is now sent down the floor drains to combine with the rest of the plant's process wastewater.
The whey serves as a food for the self-renewing bacteria in the digester. The bacteria breaks down the whey, purifies BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) from the water, and generates methane biogas as its byproduct.
"This sustainable energy project could be a model for other entities to follow in the future," said Mimi Keisling, environmental education coordinator for Rutherford County, Tennessee, in the Murfreesboro Daily News-Journal.
In 2015, another system was installed to collect the methane and use it to fuel a biogas engine that generates electricity.
"The system has been online since August and has been working very well," said Daren Kaiser, the plant's technical manager. "We're not aware of any other Greek yogurt plants that are using whey to make electricity on-site."
But we have been putting leftover whey to good use at other locations. At our Yoplait Liberte' yogurt facility in Saint-Hyacinthe in Quebec, Canada, leftover whey is being used to produce natural gas.
And since 2008, our Häagen-Dazs ice cream facility in Arras, France, has been generating electricity from its wastewater.
Since 2010, our oat-milling facility in Fridley, Minnesota – which supplies the oat flour to make Cheerios and other products – has been burning leftover oat hulls to generate electricity.
The efforts at the plant are part of our ongoing efforts to trim our energy use and our greenhouse gas emissions. In August of 2015, General Mills pledged to reduce its absolute greenhouse gas emissions by 28 percent across our full value chain – from farm to fork to landfill – over the next 10 years from our 2010 baseline.

How we fight hunger in Canada
How you can cut down on food waste
Our employees are a force for good


The U.S. Senate has confirmed Kosciusko County farmer Kip Tom as the nation's representative to the United Nations Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome.
The Senate approved Tom's nomination for the ambassador-level post by unanimous consent Thursday evening.
Tom, 63, described his new job with the State Department as "a humanitarian role focused on food security." He said U.N. agencies feed about 90 million people but that more needs to be done to teach sustainable agriculture practices to people in developing nations.
Tom said he expects to be sworn in early next week. He already is planning visits to Cambodia, Sudan, Nigeria and Yemen.
"We'll have a lot of boots on the ground monitoring what's going on and try to come up with solutions," he said.
Tom has been chief executive officer of Leesburg-based Tom Farms, which grows corn, soybeans and seed corn in seven northern Indiana counties and is among Indiana's largest farming operations. He has extensive experience in global agriculture ventures as well.
"As a leader in the agriculture community with significant experience in humanitarian relief, Kip Tom is well suited to represent the United States as we work to address food insecurity and malnutrition around the world," Sen. Todd Young, R-Ind., said Friday in a statement.
Young said he had recommended Tom for the appointment in 2017. Young is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee that oversees the U.N. and its agencies.
President Donald Trump nominated Tom last July for agriculture representative to the U.N., a post that has been vacant since 2016. Past representatives have included former South Dakota senator and 1972 Democratic presidential nominee George McGovern and former Peace Corps director Gaddi Vasquez.
Tom will be the U.S. ambassador to U.N. agencies that include the Food and Agriculture Organization, the International Fund for Agricultural Development and the World Food Program.
Tom said world hunger is a national security issue for the United States.
"If we can't create capacity and resilience in food production systems, I don't think we can write a big enough check to solve global hunger, especially when it's growing at nearly 10% over a year ago. The challenges are significant," Tom said.
"The reality is a lot of this is driven by civil conflict. But that civil conflict oftentimes starts with people who are food insecure and lack shelter. Then they start to migrate, and then that's when we get involved with terrorist organizations and trafficking takes place," he said.
Tom said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had been "a big champion" for his confirmation by the Senate.
Tom was believed to have been among candidates Trump considered for agriculture secretary before choosing Sonny Perdue, a former Georgia governor, in 2017. Tom had been a member of Trump's team of agriculture advisers during the 2016 presidential campaign.
He finished a close second to Jim Banks for the 2016 Republican nomination for northeast Indiana's seat in the U.S. House. Banks went on to easily win the general election that fall.
Tom has been a member of the boards of directors for the Indiana Economic Development Corp. and the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and he has been on the advisory board for the Indiana Department of Agriculture.

Stanford professor a visiting scholar at BGSU
BOWLING GREEN, O.—Noted scholar, critic and biographer Dr. Arnold Rampersad will make the first of three visits to Bowling Green State University next week as the 2005-06 President's Visiting Scholar in the Humanities.
A 1991 winner of a $300,000 MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (often called the "genius award"), the BGSU alumnus is senior associate dean for the humanities and Sarah Hart Kimball Professor in the Humanities at Stanford University.
During his visit Sept. 13-15, Rampersad will meet with students, faculty and administrators and give two public talks. He will discuss issues in sports and the humanities, two key areas of his writing and teaching.
Rampersad grew up in Trinidad and came to the United States in 1965. He earned bachelor's and master's degrees in English from Bowling Green in 1967 and 1968, respectively. He went on to Harvard University, where he received a doctorate in English and American literature in 1973.
His life's work has centered on interpreting the African-American experience through the lens of biography. His prize-winning books include "The Art and Imagination of W.E.B. DuBois"; "The Life of Langston Hughes" (two volumes); "Days of Grace: A Memoir," co-authored with tennis legend Arthur Ashe, and "Jackie Robinson: A Biography."
He also has edited several volumes, including "Collected Poems of Langston Hughes"; the Library of America edition (two volumes) of works by Richard Wright, including revised individual editions of "Native Son" and "Black Boy"; and, as co-editor, "Slavery and the Literary Imagination." He also is co-editor of the Race and American Culture book series published by Oxford University Press.
Currently he is writing a biography of the novelist Ralph Ellison.
On Tuesday (Sept. 13), he will meet with students in a history and philosophy of sport class and hold an afternoon seminar on biography and sport culture for graduate students in various disciplines.
On Wednesday (Sept. 14), he will participate in a panel discussion on "The Changing Faces of Women in Sport" beginning at 3 p.m. in 308 Bowen-Thompson Student Union. Also on the panel will be Dr. Janet Parks, Distinguished Teaching Professor Emeritus of human movement, sport and leisure studies, and Janna Blais, associate athletic director and senior woman administrator. The panelists will discuss the history of Title IX, how BGSU has addressed Title IX, and new developments and opportunities for women in sport. A reception will follow the panel discussion, which is open to all.
On Thursday (Sept. 15), Rampersad will speak at this year's first Arts and Sciences Forum. During his address, titled "The Humanities in a Changing World," he will discuss the future of the humanities and the pressures they face in both university curricula and in a world increasingly shaped by science and technology. The forum will begin with lunch at noon in 207 Union. To make lunch reservations, email mjhitt@bgsu.edu. Rampersad's talk, which is free, will start at 12:30 p.m.
Jerome Library has mounted a special exhibit in the main lobby in honor of Rampersad's initial visit. The author will return to campus in January, when his focus will be on American literature.
Rampersad was a member of Stanford's English department from 1974-83 before returning there in 1998. In the intervening years he taught at Rutgers, Columbia and Princeton, where, during his eight-year tenure, he held the Woodrow Wilson Professorship of Literature and served as director of the programs in American studies and Afro-American studies.
In addition to receiving a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, whose recipients are chosen on the basis of their talent, creativity and the potential benefit of their work to society, Rampersad's accomplishments were recognized by BGSU in 1992 when he was presented the Distinguished Alumnus Award.
The first President's Visiting Scholar was Dr. William Julius Wilson of Harvard, who visited campus in 2002.

Wauseon triumphant in home opener
Sports, Top Stories
By Max Householder - mhouseholder@aimmediamidwest.com
Noah Tester of Wauseon goes up strong looking to draw a foul during Friday's home opener with Edgerton. He finished with 17 points as the Indians defeated the Bulldogs 54-46.
Max Householder | Fulton County Expositor
Jonas Tester of Wauseon pulls down a rebound as Logan Showalter of Edgerton reaches in. He scored 11 for the Indians.
Wauseon's Connar Penrod handles the ball during Friday's game.
Wauseon struggled to find a rhythm offensively in the first half and had to deal with a stingy Edgerton team which finished with three players in double figures, but in the end the Indians would prevail for a 54-46 win in non-league boys basketball Friday.
It was Wauseon's home opener as they are now 3-0 on the young season after a 67-47 road win at Napoleon Saturday.
"Matt Ripke is an outstanding basketball coach. So defensively they (Edgerton) are gonna be in position all the time. And I thought the first half at times we rushed things, and just didn't take advantage of maybe some athleticism that we had (over Edgerton). I thought the second half we did a better job spacing the floor," said Wauseon coach Chad Burt of the game and how his team overcame their early struggles.
The visiting Bulldogs led for a portion of the first half, then took the lead on three separate occasions in the third period. The latter of those was a 30-29 advantage after Arryn Pahl's bucket at roughly the four minute mark.
However, the Indians proceeded to go on a 8-0 run – mostly from the foul line – to seize back control. Noah Tester hit a pair from the charity stripe, his younger brother Jonas Tester followed with two, then Sean Brock scored inside and added two more free throws for a 37-30 Wauseon lead.
They would eventually bump that margin to 43-33 by the end of the third.
That run continued into the fourth as Jonas Tester hit a floater 1:05 in, Connar Penrod scored on an inbounds play 40 seconds later, and Noah Tester's drive and score pushed the Indian lead to 16 with 5:32 to play.
Wauseon was limited to just five points the rest of the way, but the deficit was too steep for the Dogs to overcome.
"They got in foul trouble. That was a big turning point in the game," said Burt on how his team was able to pull away. "We attacked them a little bit. Sean Brock got a couple easy buckets at the rim. Connar got a couple easy buckets at the rim. I thought Noah Tester attacked the rim real well. It was a good complete game."
Edgerton's Jaron Cape scored 6 of his 10 points in the opening quarter, with his drive to the hoop with 42 seconds left pulling them within 11-10 after one.
Noah Tester then stole the show for the Indians in the early minutes of quarter two.
His three-pointer and open basket inside gave Wauseon a six-point edge, forcing Edgerton to call timeout. They then pushed the lead to 20-12 on hoops from Tyson Britsch and Penrod around a Bulldog putback basket by Noah Landel.
The Indians were outscored 6-2 over the final 4:50 as the Dogs pulled within four at the break.
Cape hit a pair at the line, and after a steal and score by Brock, Logan Showalter responded with two steal and scores for the Dogs, making it 22-18 at the half.
Showalter scored 17 to lead the Bulldog attack. Colin Gary also finished with 10 for Edgerton (2-2).
Noah Tester had 17 points and Jonas Tester 11 for Wauseon. Brock had 12 points, and was also instrumental on the defensive end according to coach Burt.
"The thing that goes unnoticed to the average spectator, we did a lot more switching defensively tonight than a lot of nights to be honest with you," he said. "And Sean is kind of the quarterback of the defense. Calling out a lot of switches. He's a senior, he's got some years under his belt. That's what you expect out of your seniors."
The Indians next travel to Sylvania Southview (2-0) Tuesday.

Their music is a mix of southern charm, rock and a good amount of attitude. It's nothing I haven't heard before but the band has some serious chops in a number of musical areas. The songs are well written and delivered and above all else feel quite memorable.
They open with a track called "Rollin'." The band doesn't waste any time as the song starts with the full band and short guitar solo. Once the verse hits you are treated to a saloon style piano, well-placed guitar fills and well-sung vocals. The song fits so much in within its runtime. Suffice it to say if you enjoyed the first song you will enjoy the remaining ones.

Could This Be a New Revenue Stream for Your Digital Business?
This is the web version of our weekly curated email newsletter, The Digital Entrepreneur. Get this content delivered directly to your inbox each week.
There are many ways to generate revenue with a digital business.
Selling digital products like courses and ebooks is the most obvious way. It's what we focus on at Digital Commerce Academy.
You can include affiliate links in your content. You can also strike deals with sponsors.
It's certainly not a good fit for all, or even most, digital businesses. But if you have the right kind of relationship with your audience, it can be a great way to drive additional revenue, even recurring revenue.
I've picked up a lot of experience with donations over at The Assembly Call, my side project built around a live postgame show for Indiana basketball games.
In fact, we just executed a successful donation drive in which we generated more than $1 per subscriber on our email list. This far exceeded our goal for the campaign monetarily, and there were non-monetary benefits (like increased connection with many loyal audience members) that I never imagined.
Last week, I hosted a webinar that dispensed pretty much every lesson I've learned about collecting donations for a digital business. I even included the actual emails we sent, which helped us achieve a lofty goal in less than 24 hours.
You must have a free or paid membership to Digital Commerce Academy to view this content. Click here to register for free and gain instant access to this master class and much more.
If you already accept donations or plan to, I hope this master class helps you execute your plan with more success. And if you've never considered accepting donations, but are intrigued, I hope the beginning sections provide you with insight that helps guide your decision.
Now here are this week's resources — curated by me and members of Digital Commerce Academy.
Attention is a scarce resource and SaaS products have to be much more polished to grab customers' attention, get them to pay, and keep them retained. The logical conclusion many are coming to is that because it's a more efficient market, there's less room for profit. But is that true?
This is an open letter to the developer who spent a year developing a WordPress theme and couldn't sell it anywhere.
Beyond the personality traits that can help entrepreneurs, there's also the darker side. Certain aspects of our identity and mindset makes it likely that we'll suffer from anxiety and depression — and worse, not reach out to seek help. Dr. Sherry Walling specializes in working with founders to better cope with some of the more stressful aspects of entrepreneurism, and I think you'll find her insights valuable.
Optimizing your startup for speed is the only way to keep your head above the water. The key to optimizing your startup for speed? Learn how to make rapid—but thoughtful—decisions.
That'll do it for this first edition of The Digital Entrepreneur newsletter.
I'm sure you'll see some changes and improvements in the coming weeks as we tweak the format, add sharing buttons, and consider publishing these newsletters live on the site.
And, of course, I'll fill you in on how we're using this curated newsletter as part of our funnel for both Digital Commerce Institute and the Rainmaker Platform as we move forward.

(Beaver Dam) Moraine Park Technical College recognized Don Charleston as its 2018 Distinguished Alumnus award winner. The honor was presented during the College's annual Student Awards Banquet on Friday. College officials say Charleston is the epitome of a Moraine Park success story and noted his generosity and dedication to the school. After graduating in 1974 with a degree in mechanical drafting, Charleston went on to have a successful career in the earth-moving industry working with companies like WABCO and Caterpillar. Success took him around the world, but he never forgot where he came from. Charleston says he had his Moraine Park yearbook in his work desk drawer for 34 years to remember the people and experiences that changed his life. After Charleston retired from Caterpillar in May of 2016, he established a scholarship through the Moraine Park Foundation.

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush held a "Veterans Forum" in Colorado today and tried once again to explain his comments about anchor babies. Yesterday in Texas, Bush tried to explain his earlier statement that the term was not offensive to Latinos. In the process, he alienated some Asians by saying that he was referring to Asian babies, not Latinos. Asian-American politicians have denounced Bush's remarks.
Bush spoke at a VFW hall in Englewood, a Denver suburb Tuesday. Colorado was chosen because of its large Latino population. The event was orchestrated to announce Bush's endorsement from 75 veterans to pivot the discussion away from immigration. The venue was risky because many older Veterans are more aligned with Trump on immigration than Bush.
Nevertheless, thanks to Donald Trump, immigration dominated local coverage of Bush's remarks. Trump had blasted Bush in a Tweet for speaking "Mexican" telling Bush to speak English. Bush responded with a jab at his fellow GOP candidate, implying that Trump "talks a good game" but might not be able to back it up. "I'm a doer, not a talker," Bush asserted. "There's (sic) a lot of talkers running for president. One in particular," he said, referring to Trump.
The last thing Republicans wanted this election is for the campaign to be a contest to see which candidate can infuriate Hispanic and Asian voters more. After the last election, the GOP hired a consultant that told them the Party had a problem with Latino voters because of its policies and especially its tone. Republicans do not want to change their policies; they did want to change their tone to keep their policies out of the headlines. Then along came Trump.
Recent research points out that the changing demographics, coupled with the Republican proclivity for insulting Latinos, make it a long shot to win the White House in 2016. To win the popular vote in key battleground states, Republicans would need to nearly double the percentage of the Latino vote Romney received last election. Given the anti-immigrant vitriol spewed by so many Republicans this year, that is not likely.
Latino Decisions, an opinion research organization, released a report that examines the threshold of the Latino vote Republicans would need to win the election. The news is bad for Republicans. Even if the white turnout is high and the Latino turnout low, a Republican would need to get 42 percent of the Latino vote nation-wide to win the popular vote. The reason is that Republicans lost the African-American vote long ago, and are losing the women's vote now. Romney only received votes from 23 percent of Latinos last election.
Since the election is not decided by the popular vote, but rather by electoral votes, Latino Decisions analyzed various scenarios in key battleground states Republicans need in order to win the White House. The news is even worse.
In Colorado, Latino Decisions found Republicans need 44 percent of the Latino vote; in Nevada, they need 45 percent. Republicans need 42 percent in New Mexico, 42 percent in Ohio, and 46 percent in Virginia. Obama carried all of these states twice. In Florida, Republicans need 47 percent, but they must win young Cuban-Americans to do well in Florida. Republican opposition to restoring diplomatic relations with Cuba is hurting their chances with young Latinos in Florida.
Republicans know Trump is a huuuuge problem, to use a Trumpism. This is why FOX News and the RNC tried to whack Trump in the first debate. The problem is, the base agrees with Trump. He was not punished even for insulting the idol of the right, Megyn Kelly. Trump is preventing any of the other 16 Republican candidates from getting any coverage unless they say something that further ruins the Party's brand with minorities. It is beginning to look like this election is the Democrats to lose.


Firefox Quantum is now available in Developer Edition, and this Firefox is fast.
As a reader of the Hacks blog, you may be familiar with Project Quantum, our attempt to refactor, redesign, replace, and modernize the very core of Firefox. We've shipped many incremental improvements to Firefox in the past, but this release marks the first milestone where we believe Firefox fundamentally feels like a newer, better browser.
Why does this feel like a brand new browser? Read on!
Developer Edition now includes "Quantum CSS," an entirely new CSS engine written in Rust and based on the Servo parallel browser engine project. Additionally, the "Quantum Flow" team tracked down and fixed 369 performance bugs in Firefox, with a special focus on responsiveness and UI interactions. Lastly, the "Quantum DOM" project began overhauling how Firefox prioritizes work, responding more quickly to events like user input while delaying less urgent computations until the browser is idle.
The result? Compared to Firefox six months ago, today's Developer Edition is twice as fast on benchmarks like Speedometer 2.0 that simulate the real-world performance of modern web applications.
Furthermore, Firefox is 64-bit and multi-process by default, and Firefox's unique architecture allows it to take advantage of modern, multi-core processors while still respecting your available RAM. Meanwhile, the "Quantum Compositor" project significantly reduced crashes caused by buggy graphics drivers.
You'll hear more about Photon in November, but highlights include redesigned menus, square tabs, and a new "Library" button that acts as a single place for your bookmarks, downloads, history, etc. By default, Photon combines the search and URL bars into a single widget, but the old style is only a preference away.
The "Activity Stream" project redesigned the New Tab Page to feature highlights from your recent history and bookmarks, as well as recommendations from Pocket. Of course, each of these content blocks are optional, and add-ons can completely replace the new tab page to create entirely different experiences.
We also refreshed form handling in Firefox, adding a brand new autofill feature and implementing built-in widgets for <input type=date> and <input type=time> elements.
Lastly, Firefox's preferences were completely redesigned and are now searchable.
Firefox Quantum: Developer Edition also includes a ton of refined, redesigned, and brand new developer tools.
The Console, Debugger, and Network tabs are now implemented using standard web technologies, including React and Redux, as part of our "devtools.html" effort.
The Inspector gained tons of new features for working with CSS Grid, CSS Variables, toggling classes on elements, etc.
The Console now supports grouping messages and expanding / inspecting objects in-line.
The Debugger offers completely new ways to search, navigate, and debug projects.
And that's not all. To read in greater depth about what's new in Firefox Developer Tools, check out Developer Edition Devtools Update.
Today's release is a major milestone in Project Quantum, but we're not done. Future releases of Firefox will include Quantum Render, a brand new, GPU-optimized rendering pipeline based on Servo's WebRender project, and Quantum DOM Scheduler, a new technique that ensures that tabs in the background can't slow down your active tabs.
Try out Developer Edition today, or sign up to get notified when Firefox Quantum is released to mainline Firefox. Either way, stay tuned to the Hacks blog to learn more about Project Quantum!

Q: Vertically aligning Labels and TextBlocks at Top in XAML How can I vertically align a Label and TextBlock at Top so that their first lines of text line up?
<Grid>
    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
        <ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
        <ColumnDefinition />
    </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
    <Grid.RowDefinitions>
        <RowDefinition />
    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
    <Label Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Top">Some Label:</Label>
    <TextBlock Grid.Column="0" VerticalAlignment="Top">Some text<TextBlock>
</Grid>

The above code gives me this:
Vertically misaligned Label and TextBlock text http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4940/labeltextblock.png

A: The extra space around the label comes from the Padding property. To remove the space, you can explicitly set the Padding property to "0" directly on the Label, or, of course, set it via a Style.

A: <TextBlock>
<InlineUIContainer BaselineAlignment="Top"><Label Content="Label"/></InlineUIContainer>
<InlineUIContainer BaselineAlignment="Top"><TextBlock>TextBlock Content</TextBlock>                 </InlineUIContainer>
</TextBlock>

HTH.

A: Here is a workaround: Align bottoms of text in controls.

On June 16th my brother Dave lost his battle with colon cancer. We are still stunned by his loss. Many have asked where to send donations in memory of Dave, and as a family we would like to point you towards the fund we've established in his name. We will be honoring Dave by giving a gift to two of the organizations where he had a significant impact: Hayfield Secondary School and The Pass/Tremaine Tennis and Education Foundation.
As principal of Hayfield Secondary School, Dave had a huge effect on this school and its teachers, parents, and students. If you saw him in the last few years, chances are he was wearing bright orange and showing his school spirit, and he has been credited by the community for changing the entire climate of Hayfield for the better. Working with the school administrators, we have established a scholarship in his name and will also be making a gift to the school towards the programs he was passionate about.
Dave had a lifelong passion for the sport of tennis. He played at the University of South Carolina and also coached after college. He was active in the tennis community, including serving on the board of the Bob Pass Tennis and Education Foundation, which will soon be renamed the Pass/Tremaine Tennis and Education Foundation. Donations will be made to the foundation to support its mission to provide underprivileged youth the opportunity to better their lives through the game of tennis.
As a family, we are collecting donations to one single fund and then will make our gifts from there. It's such a small thing, but it's the least we can do to further Dave's work and influence. There is no obligation here, merely an opportunity to participate.
Humanity lost one of its most exemplary definitions yesterday afternoon when Dave Tremaine passed away following a three-year bout with cancer.
Most all of us on this side of the fence met Jeff's brother on his various visits out to California, or while filming on location for jackass, Wildboyz, and Bad Grandpa when he would hit-and-run the set for a few days (often making cameo appearances), and the impression he left on all was consistently of long-lasting quality and you would always look forward to the next (likely shirtless) encounter.
Many of us knew him as Big Dave—not only because he was a towering 6' 5" in stature, but the indisputable fact his personality was even larger. He had a big smile, big laugh, big enthusiasm, and an even bigger love for his family, friends, and the students of Hayfield Secondary School in Alexandria, Virginia, where he was hands down the best principal a school could ever hope to have stationed at its head. The school held a candlelight vigil in Dave's honor last night, and the consequent outpouring of love and support was of tremendous testament to his impact on the community.
To say Dave left us too soon is a horrible understatement, but while here he gave life everything he had: full bore, non-stop, and always with indefatigable optimism and spirit—especially so throughout the past three years. We are all better people for having known him, and though there is now a sudden void left in his wake, the unforgettably awesome memories we have of him and his love for life are a welcome solace of unquantifiable proportion. He was simply an outstanding human being. And he never reneged on a bet. Ever.
You will be missed, Dave. Big time.
