Two short years ago, I sat in my high school Media Coordinator's interactive space to learn all about the power of Twitter, one of her many "Technology Tuesday" opportunities that she hosted as floating events to weave technology into our staff's everyday teaching methods. Not only did she share a variety of instructional strategies with me, she shared how the NCDLCN experience had transformed her as an educator and encouraged me to participate the subsequent year.
A short blog post will never provide justice to the level of impact that NCDLCN has had on me. During my year as a participant, I worked with an incredible mentor whose wisdom and experience was invaluable as I stepped out of my classroom into a lead teacher position. My assistant principal, who oversaw my department and served as my liaison for my NCDLCN project, aligned me with opportunities at both the building and district level to lead PLCs, lead professional development in technology, and develop blended professional development in a variety of areas.
In each NCDLCN event, I gained content knowledge, curated resources, and expanded my network of educational professionals who served as critical collaborators, ready to offer their expertise and input on any idea. Through this, my vision for what building level professional development could look like came to life. Armed with a #sketchnote and an example, I pitched my idea to our leadership team. From there, magic happened. In a true collaborative effort, our building leadership revealed a year-long professional development program that targeted academic rigor immersing teachers in a continuous improvement cycle.
Prior to NCDLCN, professional development in my building was delivered in a stagnant, sit-and-get method. NCDLCN encourage us to creatively turn PD upside down.
Our goal was simple: Innovative Building Transformation through Shared Leadership.
Our three-phase approach highlighted innovative, academically rigorous, heavily differentiated practices by incredible teachers in our building. In each phase (divided by level of academic rigor), our leadership team modeled the use of technology in their instructional methods, allowing teachers to experience the technology through the lens of a student and learn an instructional technique for blended learning.
In addition, teachers participated in Learning Walks, opening the door for the sharing of ideas across grade levels and subject areas. As we advanced our capacities in technology, our Learning Walks evolved so that they, too, were delivered in a digital format. To celebrate the risks that our teachers embraced, they were awarded Badges that were proudly showcased on posters beside their doors, email taglines, and social media. In a true learner-centered model, we asked for teachers to jump in where they felt the most comfortable – aiming for 25% participation in our first year. We understood that each teacher is different – with different times available to learn more about digital technologies, different comfort levels with technology, different interest levels, and different needs for support. By allowing teachers to move at their own pace, we established a system that allowed for tailored, individualized support for each teacher.
What makes our year-long professional development plan innovative?
Intentionally embedded in consistent professional learning that targets rigorous instruction, best practices, and student engagement.
Tiered, with expected participation at the Novice Level and encouraged participation at the Apprentice and Practitioner levels.
Celebrated in print, email, and social media.
To date, 272 badges have been awarded that span from engaging in professional chatter on Twitter to creating infographics with their students. 95% of the teachers in our building have earned 7 of the 8 available badges – a statistical success that we did not expect in August. The most impressive result has been how the teachers have embraced technology tools to creatively and innovatively transform an area (or multiple areas) of their practice.
This entire building initiative started at an NCDLCN January brainstorming session with my building leader. Over time, this project evolved into where it is today – with many voices contributing to its path. While I am proud of our current product, I am more proud of the growth that took place along the journey.
NCDLCN's Professional Development days provided me with rich educational content, instructional delivery methodology, and opportunities to collaborate with passionate educators.
Each moment provided insight – an idea, a tweak, or a spark – that improved this initiative in some way. While our effort was to instill a continuous improvement cycle with our classroom teachers, this focus on reflection started with NCDLCN.
NCDLCN has empowered me to take risks, use my voice, and dream big. My vision started as a penciled #sketchnote and evolved in 272 issued badges in a small school. While the original sketch is long gone, the vision is not. More important than a vision is the journey to bring that vision to fruition. I am excited about the new relationships, opportunities for collaboration, deep reflection, and continued growth that the next leg of my journey affords. Above all, NCDLCN taught me that the growth is in the journey.

SANTA CRUZ — Saving the Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park from closing on July 1 may be as simple as pitching in and getting a little dirty.
Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, an organization aimed to protect the county"s parks from closing, is looking for volunteers to help restore the 221-year-old mission on Saturday, with the help of a $10,000 grant provided by the California State Parks Foundation. The event is part of a statewide Earth Day effort to bring attention to the 70 state parks slated to close July 1 due to a lack of state funding.
The event, hosted eight days before actual Earth Day, starts at 8:30 a.m. and will include adobe restoration, exterior landscaping, irrigation renovation and Mission Street hillside cleanup. Hoping to make it a family outing, the organization will also teach kids how to cook tortillas over a wood fire and display artifacts dug up on location.
According to Bonny Hawley, executive director of Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, the organization hopes to also draw more tourism to the mission. Hawley said it"s aiming to put the mission on the map as a popular spot for people to explore, learn and celebrate.
Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks applied in December for the $10,000 grant from the California State Park Foundation. The foundation, which donated grants to 19 different state parks this year, is the only statewide independent nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting, enhancing and advocating for California"s state parks.
Still, Emory said that while the event may put the mission on peoples" radars, the state parks need a lot more fundraising.
Regardless of the outcome, the mission"s lead restoration architect Gil Sanchez said he hoped the event would make people realize how important the park is to Santa Cruz.


Sittard will play against Groningen in another promising game of the ongoing Eredivisie's tournament., After its previous match, Sittard will be looking forward to secure a victory against visiting team Groningen and improve its position on the league table.
On the other hand, Groningen plans on defeating the hosts and reward its travelling fans by returning back home with all match's points and leaving Sittard with no points from the game. Both coaches will be starting with their best side in this decisive encounter.

Above is a collection of folks wearing this tee I was commissioned to design. It has 9 colors and a back print too. I did the drawing after being on a herbal cleanse. I really missed eating bread while detoxifying my body. I also believe that it's within "us all" to take good care of our body, mind and soul. So going without certain treats is a healthy choice once in a while.

Showcasing Live Music Events
Rainier Trio, Saturday, September 17, 7:30PM
Kevin Matheson, violin ~ Bryan Matheson, viola – Brenda Wittwer, piano
The Hampshire County Arts Council is pleased to present an evening of classical music with The Ranier Trio, at The Bottling Works, 426 E. Main St., Romney, WV.
Now in its eighth season, the Rainier Trio is an exciting and energetic group that captivates audiences with gems from the violin-viola-piano trio repertoire. A combination written for since the 17th century, the repertoire includes works by Mozart, Mendelssohn and Milhaud, bridging genres from classical to ragtime and tango.
Hailed as "two perfect virtuosos" at their international performance debut, Kevin and Bryan Matheson of the Classic Strings Duo were received with critical acclaim at their Carnegie Weill Recital Hall début as part of the Ibla Grand Prize competition winners' tour. The duo has been recognized for its mesmerizing and spirited performances – two perfect virtuosos, playing as one. They have teamed up with pianist Brenda Wittwer, a native of Charlotte, NC. She has been accompanist for Theater Charlotte, Pfeiffer University Concert Choir and Sounds of America, a musical group which toured the 48 contiguous states.
They have performed a series of concerts in Pittsburgh and on the classical radio station WQED with Alex Jones, principal clarinetist of the Pittsburgh Philharmonic. The trio has performed at Musikfest in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania and collaborated with opera singers at the Vocal Arts and Music Festival at Virginia Tech. Their CD was chosen as "CD of the week" by WQED Pittsburgh.
The Classic Strings Duo and Rainier Trio are partially supported by funding from the Virginia Commission for the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts.

real person within the shell.
Mark Jenkins has won the acclaim and the applause of many art lovers and gallerists alike, one of these institutions being the Cologne based Ruttkowski;68 gallery. The space announced an exhibition of human dummies by the author for April 5, scheduled to run for over a month until May 18. This is not the first presentation of Jenkins' play with inanimate humans at the gallery, as he already had an exhibition at Ruttkowski in 2012, and he also took over the Cologne center last summer.
The new exhibition carries the title Terrible Horrible and it will astound the public with all new works of Mark Jenkins.
Besides the heavy dose of intelligent and often dry humor his sculptures possess, Jenkins' work is amazing in execution. The pieces are so perfectly rendered, following all the rules of naturalistic contemporary anatomy, it's practically impossible to tell them apart from real people most of the time. They have been known to attract wanted and [un]wanted attention in the streets, as his most problematically placed characters inspired some bystanders to reach to fire rescue teams. His work is labeled as "reality hacking", which it is indeed. It could be also described as interactive urban art or human dummy bombing.
There was nothing suggesting Mark Jenkins will have a career in art in his early life. He graduated in science and the discovery of his talent and aspirations came as completely accidental. His first tape sculpture was made and placed in Rio de Janeiro about a decade ago and since then, the world shifted into the artist's oyster. His works are conducted in various urban areas, without an announcement or permit, questioning our views on reality and fellow humans, while raising the bar on irony, humor and normality. The artist once stated his bodies were like herpes to the city, attacking it from the inside. We are to hope the Jenkins disease will never go away serving as the push to think our society desperately needs.
Along with his public takeovers, Mark Jenkins produces studio works displayed in galleries throughout the world.

Andrea Salvadori (* 6. November 1588 in Marciano della Chiana; † 24. August 1634 in Florenz) war ein florentinischer Dichter und Librettist.

Leben

Der Vater Francesco di Marco Salvadori gehörte einer Grundbesitzerfamilie an, die in Marciano an der großherzoglichen Verwaltung der Stadt beteiligt war. Er starb schon wenige Monate nach der Geburt seines Sohnes im März 1589 und 1592 wurde Salvadori zusammen mit seiner Schwester durch den magistrato dei pupilli dem in Florenz lebenden Onkel Salvatore Salvadori anvertraut. In den dabei entstandenen Akten ist eine Abschrift der Taufurkunde überliefert, die das Geburtsjahr 1591 korrigiert, das aus den Angaben des Epitaphs rekonstruiert wurde, den die drei Söhne Salvadoris haben setzen lassen.

Seit 1608 war er Mitglied der Accademia della Crusca, in der er 1609 auch das Amt des censore innehatte. Außerdem gehörte er der Accademia Fiorentina an.

Begraben wurde er in der Chiesa dei Santi Simone e Giuda in Florenz.

Das Allgemeine Lexikon der Bildenden Künstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart machte aus ihm durch das Missverständnis eines korrekten Eintrages im Berliner Ornamentstich-Katalog fälschlich einen "Stecher und Zeichner von Ornamenten".

Industry buzz 31 October 2019
in-cosmetics Latin America breaks new records
With a total of 5,701 participants, the 6th edition of in-cosmetics Latin America, which took place last September in São Paulo was the largest in history.
The event dedicated to personal care ingredients attracted a qualified audience. Among visitors were R&D specialists and formulators from the likes of Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Natura, Johnson & Johnson, L'Occitane, L'Oréal, Avon, Belcorp, Lac, Mary Kay, Genomma Lab, to name but a few. Several Indie Brands also visited the show this year.
The show attracted professionals from all over Brazil, with 26% of Brazilian visitors coming from outside of São Paulo. In addition, hundreds of professionals from Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Colombia, Peru, Costa Rica, Ecuador also attended the show.
With 14% more stands this year and 90% of the world's top ten ingredient suppliers in attendance, the event consolidated its position as the major regional launch pad in the industry with an Innovation Zone 40% larger than in 2018.
The event also welcomed the Innovation Tour - a new experience at the show - led by Technical Advisor Cleber Barros, who guided visitors around the many innovations on display across the hall.
Two other new experiences were introduced this year. These included the Green Trail, which guided visitors to exhibitors offering environmentally conscious ingredients, and the Indie Trail, which enabled indie brands to connect with exhibitors that provide ingredients for productions up to 100kg.
in-cosmetics Latin America will be back at Expo Center Norte, in São Paulo, between September 16-17, 2020.

Why doesn't intel just take it's Iris gpu and put it on a pcie card? If Intel sold a card like that, for $100-200, I'd buy it. Intel has the best gpu drivers.

There's a lot of talk about the people at the top of the company, but to be honest it's the guys at the bottom, in large numbers, that really make the difference. Intel has been hostile to their best contributors and thus have gutted their talent and their future.

a`right guy, how's it goin`… ?
… as for the content of the video, pretty hilarious actually… if you find throwing buckets of Intel money out the window of bad products funny. AHahah, oh man… All those years of them selling us overpriced CPUs … due to lack of competition, only so they can make bad investment after bad investment , ahahha… from automotive to.. whatever other things they thought of. But I dont suppose that their investors find it very funny however… hm.

Jimster480 on August 7, 2022 at 11:53 pm
I honestly can't believe how small the Intel is. Not only. Are they stupid and do not understand how to engineer products nor how to Market them, but they actually think that they have done more for AMD than AMD has actually done? I mean if you look at their terrible Core Design, that's literally a decade-old at this point in time. It's pretty clear to see that they have no idea how to engineer. So honestly, it was just a matter of time before a company like AMD, which actually does engineered products would surpass their 10-year old engineering. Intel was just so anti-competitive. AMD was literally broke and unable to execute their designs. So we got the cheapest And easiest to manufacture chips, that could not compete with Intel's same old architecture just due to money. I think that everybody who follows lithography and architectures would understand that had even Steamroller come to Market in the form of FX desktop that AMD would have significantly more market share at this point in time. But unfortunately AMD had no money to roll out their improved or fixed designs. To anything, but the low end Market. Therefore intel was allowed to continue to sell their ancient platform again and again and again until Zen launched. The push for games to use multiple cores is really based around amd's presence in the console Market. It is not due to Intel paying companies to optimize for more cores when they are pushing products with only single core performance. This is just more Intel executive FUD spewing because that is honestly the only thing that company knows how to do.
The reality. Is that consoles? Represent the biggest part of the actual gaming Market. Outside of people using home web browsing desktops to play games like RuneScape. Actual gamers are mostly playing on consoles. Especially over the last years. While the PC market for gaming has indeed grown. It is not the same as the mass Market using consoles.
Therefore intel was simply left behind with their old designs and are still struggling to engineer something that actually works. Welcome to. Corporation for the last 25 years. Do we not remember what happened with AMD and Athlon? Intel could literally not engineer past what was essentially Pentium one optimized drunk and with additional execution units added to make Pentium 3. They instead use their dirty business tactics and anti-competitive nonsense to keep themselves in the market and sell their Cobble together a garbage while Superior engineering was drained of They instead use their dirty business tactics and anti-competitive nonsense to keep themselves in the market and sell There are cobbled-together chips. While AMD was drained of all of its funds despite having Superior engineering.
Right now Intel is doing the same thing and this video is proof of it.

Never liked Raja Koduri. Whenever I listened to his interviews, he came across as bullshiter. No wonder, if he's got great ambition… On top of that, AMD always struggled with GPUs. And software side/drivers were so abysmal, and Koduri was the one leading Radeon division.

bob humplick on August 8, 2022 at 12:00 am
finally some dirt on intel. people think i just dont want to hear anything bad about intel. but truth be told im just so tired of hearing all about amd and nothing about intel, good or bad (besides amd are gonna stomp intel for awhile, because duh, we know that). if intel get burried for good itll be a sad day. even though intels culture is steering them towards that, once in awhile (well everytime they have went off track so far) something great from within intel steers them back. for all the incompetence and ego there, they also have some huge talents. or they did anyway. maybe those days are over. but who'll keep amd from becoming the bloated elvis version of themselves (another intel).
and yes that was a fat elvis reference. we're not all millenials (well by strict definition i think i am a millenial lol).
as for intel, i hope the tigerlakeintegrated graphics team pushes ahead and eventually get to put THEIR arch on a discrete card. and hopefully Swan is smart enough to reign in raja or whomever needs it. but of course i shouldnt think too much of swan. he is ceo of intel of course. intel has succeeded in spite of its leadership often enough. i hope they can do it again. and i hope Swan isnt the ceo i think him to be.
put all the dirt you can out, as long as its unbiased and credible. i want to know if this whole clusterF#$% is the death of intel or its rebirth. i know it doesnt look good right now but the fact that leakers are talking, that legal firms are being called in, that raja and hook got broken up and raja apparently reigned in, its means somebody is taking intels situation seriuosly. i mean about 3-4 years too late, but thats intel for you.

SteveAkaGoatpile on August 8, 2022 at 12:05 am
almost always happens when a company grows too bloated. it becomes disconnected with the outside world and resources get wasted in endless internal politics and management overhead. internal fracturing happens and the focus shifts to fullfill the demands of internal corperate structure instead of the market. Sloth and Pride defines working conditions. Some major restructuring needs to happen and a lot of fat needs to be cut before Intel can seriously compete with AMD again. all this showcases just how little profit or money matter.

Man i just want a midrange GPU that wont cost 600-700$ or come with drivers on one level with a 12 year olds first minecraft mod. If only that wasnt a delusional dream or nostalgic memory of the past.
But no, here comes intel as what seems to somehow be the worst of the bunch. What a bummer even though i dont like that company.
Well, heres hoping that AMD remembers they have a team/single person that develops their drivers so they can spend some of their Zen-bucks on hiring coders. Id love to get a 5700(xt), but the mountains of people with a ridiculous number of driver issues are really diminishing the appeal of Navi as a whole.
At least the CPU market is at its best price/performance ratio for the last decade right now. Also thanks for the update even if it was bad news.

Now the real issue for Intel graphics is that GPU:s are large, including Integrated GPU:s. CPU cores are small. For same area of silicon CPU cores are just so much more valuable than GPU, and in supply constrained situation Intel will always make less money if they spend their wafers on graphics instead of CPU cores.

With Intel practically sponsoring development of multithreaded gaming, I think Intel is kneecapping themselves: As more multithreaded games come out, Intel's (admittedly slim) lead in STP (Single Threaded Performance) becomes less and less relevant.

Sabah, Sarawak High Court registry relocation to Kota Kinabalu scrapped, says chief registrar
Published 2 months ago on 23 April 2019
By Sulok Tawie and Boo Su-Lyn
It is believed that the move not to relocate the principal registry could be related to the strong objections from the state government as Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg was not consulted on the matter. — Reuters pic
KUCHING, April 23 — The relocation of the principal registry of the High Court in Sabah and Sarawak from here to Kota Kinabalu will not be implemented, the Chief Registrar of the Federal Court Datuk Sri Latifah Mohd Tahar said in a circular today.
She did not give the reason for not relocating the registry to the Sabah state capital which was supposed to be effective from May 1.
"This office wishes to inform that the relocation of the principal registry of the High Court in Sabah and Sarawak from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu will not be implemented on May 1, 2019," she said in the circular.
Senior lawyer See Chee How, who is also PKR's Lintang State Assembly, when contacted, said he does not know the reason for not relocating the registry to Kota Kinabalu.
See was among those in the legal profession who had objected to the relocation of the principal registry to Kota Kinabalu.
It is believed that the move not to relocate the principal registry could be related to the strong objections from the state government as Chief Minister Datuk Patinggi Abang Johari Openg was not consulted on the matter.
The Sarawak Chief Minister's Office (CMO), in a strongly worded statement yesterday, had said the failure to consult the chief minister was a breach of Article 121(4) of the Federal Constitution.
The CMO had said the chief ministers of Sarawak and Sabah must be consulted before any step was taken to relocate the registry from Kuching to Kota Kinabalu.
Sarawak United People's Party (SUPP) secretary-general Datuk Sebastian Ting welcomed the decision to maintain the registry in Kuching.
"I am happy that the judiciary has taken the step not to relocate the registry from Kuching," he said.
He urged de facto Law Minister Datuk Liew Vui Keong to apologise to Abang Johari and the people of Sarawak for the breach in the Federal Constitution.
"I know that he is gentleman enough to do that," he said.
Yesterday, Ting, a lawyer by profession, threatened to file court action against de facto Law Minister Datuk Liew Vui Keong, Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and the Malaysian government over the relocation.
Liew had defended the decision to move the principal registry to Kota Kinabalu, saying that Article 121(4) did not state that it must remain in Kuching permanently.
He also said that the relocation was the decision of the country's top four judges.
Liew, who is de facto law minister, today confirmed being notified of the chief registrar's decision not to relocate the registry as scheduled.
In a rare move, Sarawak Pakatan Harapan (PH) today said it supported the state government's protest against the proposed relocation.
Sarawak PH chairman Chong Chieng Jen said the federal government's decision was unconstitutional as Abang Johari was not consulted.
"In the present issue, Sarawak Pakatan Harapan is on the same page and position as the Sarawak state government ie. the decision for the relocation has to be put on hold or even withdrawn," Chong said in a statement.

A Profile of New Hampshire's Foreign-Born Population
Ross Gittell, Timothy Lord
At the turn of the 20th century, New Hampshire had over 88,000 foreign-born persons, over 15,000 more than it has today. In 1900, the state's concentration of foreign born (21 percent) was higher than the national average percentage and more than three times the current percentage of 6 percent in the state. In 1900, New Hampshire ranked 15th of all states in percentage of the foreign-born...
Children in Central Cities and Rural Communities Experience High Rates of Poverty
Sarah Savage
New U.S. Census Bureau data released in August highlight increasing similarities of poverty rates between children in urban and rural communities. This common indicator of child well-being is closely linked to undesirable outcomes in areas such as health, education, emotional welfare, and delinquency.
Urban and Rural Children Experience Similar Rates of Low-Income and Poverty
Data in this brief shows that the percentages of children living in low-income areas and poverty over the past fifteen years in rural and urban America are converging.
Population Growth in New Hispanic Destinations
Kenneth Johnson, Daniel Lichter
Natural increase—more births than deaths—is now the major engine of Hispanic population growth in many large metro areas and their suburbs, as well as numerous smaller metropolitan areas and rural communities. Hispanics now account for half of U.S. population growth, and Hispanic population growth is the reason many communities grew instead of declined.

Despite their traditional residence in U.S. urban areas, Latinos represent a large and growing segment of America's rural population.

The Changing Faces of New Hampshire
New Hampshire, with a total population of 1.3 million, gained 79,000 residents between 2000 and 2006. Most of this growth - 51,000 residents - came from migration. The migration also brought economic gains: New Hampshire gained at least $1.4 billion in income from migration between 2001 and 2005, and households moving in earned nearly $9,000 more than those leaving.

Players Who Have Crossed the El Clasico Divide
Few rivalries have captured the attention of the entire world quite like El Clasico. Barcelona's 3-1 victory in the Supercopa de España on January 15 was the 251st time that Real Madrid and their Blaugrana rivals faced off against each other in official competition, with Real winning 101 of them, Barcelona claiming 98 wins, as well as 52 draws. With 419 goals for Real Madrid and 412 for Barcelona, it could hardly be more even-keeled and competitive.
From Lionel Messi to Cristiano Ronaldo, from Pep Guardiola to Jose Mourinho, both teams have been graced with the presence of some of football's greatest players and managers. In total, there have been 37 players who have suited up for both Real Madrid and Barcelona since the first Clasico in 1902. Today, we're taking a look at eight of the best players who have crossed the El Clasico divide.
1. Ronaldo
Barcelona picked up the electric Brazilian talent that lit up the Dutch league for the past two years for a world record fee at the time ($19.5 million). His time at the club was relatively short but oh so sweet. Having signed an 8-year contract, he scored 47 goals in 49 games, as defenses seemed to have no idea how to stop him. However, at the end of the season, a contract issue meant that Inter could pay his release clause and take Ronaldo to the Giuseppe Meazza.
Cheap and Sensible Transfers that West Ham Should Consider in 2023
One Ballon d'Or, one World Cup trophy and one destroyed patellar tendon later, he joined Florentino Perez's Galacticos in 2002. His Madrid career was plagued by injuries and weight issues, especially in the latter stages, but from time to time the genius that saw him obliterate defenses single-handedly shone through. Arguably, his commercial success was even more important than his on-field performances, cementing Real's status as the kings of world football, at least from the point of view of prestige.
2. Luis Figo
Controversy surrounded Luis Figo even before his transfer to Barcelona. He signed contracts with both Juventus and Parma, which saw him banned from joining an Italian club for two years. He signed for Barcelona, but was loaned back to Sporting, due to a rule stating that Portuguese players could only move to foreign clubs during a specified timeframe. The same rule saw Manchester City miss out on signing Figo, in one of football's greatest what-if moments.
He was adored in Barcelona, having helped them to La Liga and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, but would break Catalan hearts in the 2000 summer transfer window. Florentino Perez wanted to announce himself to the world as Real Madrid president. Real met the €62 million release clause and Figo became the number one enemy in Barcelona. At his first Camp Nou appearance in the white shirt of Real the stadium was a cauldron of insults and jeers, every time he touched the ball.
Missiles would fly down from the stands, with the fans seemingly emptying their pockets in order to express their disgust. In 2002 the most iconic image of Figo's career was captured, when a severed pig's head was thrown next to him as he attempted to take a corner kick, amongst the usual projectiles made of lighters, oranges and mobile phones. To this day, some older Barcelona fans refer to him as Judas.
3. Marcos Alonso
The only currently active footballer to have played for both clubs, Marcos Alonso was a Madrid youth product and made one appearance for the club. His father had been a Real player and his grandfather represented Atletico de Madrid and Barcelona. This family history maybe had a role in his agreeing to represent Real's archrivals after signing for them in 2022.
4. Luis Enrique
Luis Enrique made over 500 appearances in a very successful career, which started out at his local club Sporting Gijon. His goal-scoring and high work rate prompted Real Madrid to sign him. Despite winning the league with Real, he stated after his retirement that he had never felt appreciated by the fans and did not have good memories of his time in Madrid.
Wolverhampton Wanderers, Champions of the USA
This became even more apparent, as, after his 1996 move to Barca where he became a fan favorite. This did not happen overnight, however, as the Cules were initially reluctant to cheer for a player that had represented their Madrid rivals. His dedication towards the club ultimately won them over, Enrique remaining in the Barcelona setup even after his retirement. This led to him becoming Barcelona boss between 2014 and 2017.
5. Julen Lopetegui
The current Wolves boss did not have a career as illustrious as Luis Enrique, only making one appearance in Real's first team and moving away from the club in 1991. After playing in goal for CD Logroñés and helping them stay in the league, Barcelona came calling. Much like with Real, Julen Lopetegui could not hold down a starting position, losing out to Carles Busquets. And yes for those of you wondering, that is Sergio Busquets' dad. And just like Enrique, he managed one of his former clubs, Real, but lasted just a few months before getting the boot.
6. Samuel Eto'o
Not many people remember Eto'o having been a Real Madrid player, partly because he spent much of his time out on loan. Having been a part of Real's youth setup, Eto'o joined Mallorca in 2000 his performances started to pick up and after four years he was hot property on the European transfer scene. Real Made an attempt to sign their former player, but Barcelona came out on top this time.
At Barcelona, he really rubbed salt into Real Madrid's wounds, becoming one of the best strikers of his generation. His time in Catalonia culminated in a treble-winning year, where a front three of Thierry Henry, Lionel Messi and Eto'o scored 100 goals between them. After another treble, this time at Inter he embarked on a journeyman career that saw him play for seven more clubs before retiring in 2019.
7. Michael Laudrup
Laudrup is weirdly loved and held in high regard by both sets of fans, despite taking part in two 5-0 demolitions, once for each club, but always on the winning side. He moved to Italy from his native Denmark and after spells with Lazio and Juve ended in disappointment, Johan Cruyff, his childhood idol, convinced him to join his project at Barca. After winning four consecutive La Ligas and one European Cup, with Laudrup playing superbly, Cruyff signed Romario.
When Dictators Stepped in the Way of Big-Money Transfers
At the time, only three foreign players were allowed in the squad at any one time. This came to mark the downfall of his relationship with the manager, as Cruyff left him out for a European Cup final against Milan, which Barca lost 4-0. This prompted Laudrup to move to Real Madrid, however he maintained at the time he was simply looking for a new challenge and did not seek revenge. Immediately after his move, Real won the title and Laudrup hung around for one more year before moving to Japan.
8. Gheorghe Hagi
Romania's best-ever player gained both of his moves, first to Real and then Barca, off the back of World Cup performances. In 1990 he signed for Los Blancos but his time at the club proved unsuccessful, only winning the Supercopa. After two years he moved to Italy with Brescia and would play a starring role for Romania in 1994 at the World Cup in the US. Barca took a leaf out of Real's book and signed him, but only won another Supecopa in his two years in Catalonia. He would ultimately find success with Galatasaray, attaining cult status in Istanbul.

Representatives of NATO Multinational Corps Northeast (MNC NE) visited the reservist snap exercise Okas 2019 currently underway in Estonia.
During their visit, the NATO MNC NE representatives were briefed on the course of the exercise and Estonia's mobilization process, spokespeople for the Headquarters of the Estonian Defence Forces (EDF) said.
The three-member team came at the invitation of Deputy Commander of the Estonian Defence Forces Maj. Gen. Indrek Sirel, and visited the 1st and 2nd Infantry Brigades as well as the mobilization depots.
"It is very important to be present during such an exercise," said Deputy Chief of Staff for Support at NATO MNC NE Brig. Gen. Dariusz Zuchowski said. "Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland are within our area of responsibility, and the ability to reach any point in our area of responsibility with very short notice to identify possible need for support is very important to us. NATO staff elements located in each country also play an important role in this."
According to Zuchowski, this snap exercise provides an excellent overview of Estonia's mobilization process, which is carried out by the EDF but also includes other important parties, such as the Ministry of the Interior.
"During the exercise, we saw a very well organized mobilization process, but the most important is the dedication and readiness of the reservists," he added.
The snap exercise Okas 2019 is serving as a readiness inspection, in the course of which the national defense chain of command is tested — from the decision made by the Government of the Republic to the rendezvous of rapid response reservists.
Altogether more than 2,200 reservists have been summed for the current snap exercise, which will last through the end of the week.

It would be very helpfull to creat server based rueles (mailfilter) using OC. If user are out of office the Inbox could get smaller. Active Synch wouldn´t sync all spam or newsletter.
Thanks for sharing your idea with us to allow server based rules to be created from Outlook Connector. MDaemon does currently support server side email rules that users can create/modify/delete from within MDaemon Remote Administration or WorldClient. Unfortunately, at this time the rules cannot be created/modified/deleted from Outlook Connector.
Currently the OutlookConnector database can be compacted using SQLLite, however there is no automated way to purge old mail from the database.
I have updated the existing request for this functionality.
Download Bar Shows the currently processed file.
Currently when you install Outlook onto an new machine for a user that already has an account, the Download bar becomes very active as it downloads through Outlook Connector all the headers and information etc. Sometimes this process can get stuck on an email or Calendar file, but there is no way to know which item is causing the problem. If the Download Bar could display the current item which it's trying to download into Outlook, we might have a fighting chance to delete or inspect that file as to why it's causing everything to hang. Thanks!
Thank you for submitting your idea. It will be considered for future versions.
Outlook connect from Outside to internal without VPN to the MDaemon Server.
Easy connection from the Outlook Connector to the MDaemon Server with out a VPN Channel. Used SSL IMAP/SMTP over the Port 993/465.
Same Function like Outlook with Exchange used call "Outlook Anywhere"
Currently, we cannot support RPC over HTTP because we do not support the use of RPC.
Your request will be considered for future versions.
Thanks for sharing your suggestion with us. It will be considered for future versions of OutlookConnector.
Thanks for sharing your idea to implement the IMAP IDLE command for OutlookConnector. It will be considered for future versions of the product.
When replying to emails in a shared folder use the recipient address as sender address.
Thanks for sharing your idea, it will be considered for future versions of OutlookConnector.
On large email accounts it would be helpful so set a number of days of emails to download (i.e. emails of last 30days), instead of processing the complete folder.
Thank you for sharing your idea with us to limit the number of days of email that OutlookConnector would download. It will be considered for future versions.
For security reasons would like to be able to remove the save password option in the Outlook connector client.
Thank you for submitting your idea to disable the Save Password option in OutlookConnector. It will be considered for future versions.
Thank you for your suggestion to encrypt the files in the attachment directory. We will consider this for future versions of OutlookConnector.
In Outlook connector we sync only mailbox, sent items and deleted items, to reduce the numbers of hits to the server..
We'd like to push public folders to the client side, but not to select client side for each.
Thank you for sharing your idea with us to add a out of office notification in the address book. It will be considered for future versions.
If users change the settings of their inbox so other users can see that folder it would be good to have the ability for Users to set the same permissions on subfolders. MDaemon has a "Set Sub" button that allows administrators to do this, it would be nice to have similar functionality in OutlookConnector.
This will be considered for future versions of OutlookConnector.

No-Fault Update—Mayor of Detroit Pursues Action to Declare the Michigan No-Fault Act Unconstitutional
Duggan v. McPharlin
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan filed an action to have the Michigan No-Fault Act declared unconstitutional under the Michigan and Federal Constitutions. Although it might seem far-fetched, it is not unprecedented—the Michigan Supreme Court declared an early version of the No-Fault Act unconstitutional in 1978. See Shavers v Kelley, 402 Mich 554, 600-01 (1978). Shavers is further instructive on the current suit filed by Mayor Duggan.
Brief Synopsis of Shavers Rule/Holding
The Shavers Court held that the No-Fault statutory scheme was constitutional under the Michigan Legislature's police powers, but it functioned in an unconstitutional manner as it could violate due process. Id. at 598, 600. "[A]t a minimum, [due process] requires that insurance rates are not, in fact, excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory." The Court found that the 1978 No-Fault scheme did not have adequate mechanisms to ensure No-Fault coverage was available on a fair and equitable basis. Id. at 580.
The Court ultimately gave the legislature eighteen (18) months to fix the problems of the No-Fault Act. Id. at 609. In 1982, the Court found that the amended No-Fault Act was constitutional simply because there was no action seeking to declare the No-Fault Act unconstitutional. The Court also confirmed that its declaration "should not be construed as foreclosing future attacks on the constitutionality of the act-based concerns expressed in our opinion" Shavers v. Attorney Gen, 412 Mich 1105 (1982).
In the present Cause of Action, Mayor Duggan argues that pursuant to Shavers, the current Michigan No-Fault Act violates due process because insurance rates are "unconstitutionally excessive." Mayor Duggan argues that Michigan's auto insurance rates are the highest in the country and that every zip code in Detroit has car insurance premiums that are unaffordable according to the Federal Insurance Office.
Mayor Duggan argues that Michigan's first-party personal injury protection ("PIP") coverage is the main culprit behind the excessive rates because No-Fault Act does not cap medical and attendant care benefits like similar statutes in other states. As a result, the price controls are lacking in the No-Fault Act resulting exceptionally high insurance rates.

UNITED NATIONS, April 24 -- As the UN Security Council prepared to begin its trip to Kosovo, Serbia and Brussels, their itinerary was presented to reporters on Tuesday by Belgian Ambassador Johan Verbeke, who is heading up the mission.
Since it seemed clear that Amb. Verbeke would not and could not answer questions about whether or not Russia would veto a Security Council resolution of independence, Inner City Press asked Amb. Verbeke about reports of planned demonstrations at the Jarine crossing point between Serbia and Kosovo. Video here, from Minute 24:02.
Amb. Verbeke said he had referred to demonstrations under the rubric of "security dimension," on which he is deferring to UN Under Secretary General for Security, David Veness. As to which Serb enclave will be visited, Amb. Verbeke said it has yet to be decided, but that at least three types of locations will be included: an "Albanian village with missing persons," a Serb enclave, and a multi-ethnic community. "Comprehensive and balance," Amb. Verbeke called it. The exact locations remain "to be worked out," depending on logistics: whether the visits will be by bus or helicopter.
And will this visit impact the votes of any Council members? Amb. Verbeke would not and could not say. It is noted that opposition is not limited to Russia. There is the Slovakian legislature, South Africa with its concern about maintaining borders, and now reportedly Indonesia.
Marti Ahtisaari was in Indonesia on Monday, meeting at the State Palace with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, working for that vote on the Council. But afterwards, state spokesman Dino Pati Djalal told reporters, "We want this problem be settled peacefully, without triggering new conflicts. For us the most important thing is a process that can be received by both Kosovo and Serbia."
Signed up for the trip, for Indonesia, is Mr. Hassan Kleib. For Italy, Marcello Spatofora. For the U.S., new Ambassador Zalmay Khalilzad, who took some few questions from UN reporters on Tuesday. For the UK, Deputy Ambassador Karen Pierce. Beyond the Council, but in the EU, Inner City Press has been told to check into the position on Kosovo of Spain, and Greece as well.
Inner City Press is also told that UNMIK has brought in those in the UN who specialize is the wind-down and close-down of missions. Is this something that the visiting Council members may check? Developing.

2011 Audi A3 2.0 TFSI car review road test: Adds 'sport' to 'premium compact'
The Audi A3 inhabits a market segment called "premium compact" and Audi claims, in fact, to have invented term. We're not about to invoke Marquis de Queensbury rules on the origin of the segment, but we will state that it's something of a misnomer for the A3. "Compact" doesn't indicate "fun" to us, and "premium" doesn't either. And fun is one of the best reasons for driving the Audi A3.
Of course, we have a certain fondness for small performance sedans, if for no other reason than they fit so well on the narrow winding roads we like to frequent. And we're also not averse to well-equipped and well-finished sedans either. The latter, of course, fits the 2011 Audi A3 that's the subject of this car review.
No shouting The exterior of the Audi A3 doesn't shout and it's clearly not the head turner that is, say, the Audi A5 (coupe or convertible) or the Audi A8. In fact, except for the distinctive Audi grille, the 2011 Audi A3 could be considered stealth, the Audi four-ring logo on the rear hatch the only indication that this well-proportioned five-door hatchback is anything but another well-proportioned five-door hatchback.
Our 2011 Audi A3 tester came in "Premium Plus" trim, equipped with Xenon headlamps with eyebrows of LED daytime running lights (not usually found on compact sedans), but that's almost like cheating when it comes to attention grabbing ability
The interior of the 2011 Audi A3 gets high marks, however, as do all Audis, for design and comfort. The dash isn't squishy soft when it comes to the soft-touch test, but instead the A3's dash is covered with a thin coat of rubbery-like plastic that almost looks like "crackle paint" except that it's not hard. With the raised dash vents, business-like buttons and knobs, and precision instrument-like gauges, the interior of the A3 has an efficient and professional look. Controls all have the proper weight and heft, not always found on the common compact car.
The play's the thing Our 2011 Audi A3 tester, however, beguiled with the playful attitude. Equipped with the 2.0 TFSI engine, front-wheel drive and the S-tronic six-speed automatic transmission, the A3 was a corner charger and deceptively quick. The transverse-mounted four-cylinder engine is rated at only 200 horsepower, a rather mild number these days for a turbocharged direct injection engine. Torque doesn't come with a particularly impressive peak output either, at only 207 lb ft. The turbo two-liter of the humble 2011 Kia Optima SX, for example, cranks out a reputed 276 horses. The redemption of the Audi A3's two-liter, however, is its broad spread of its maximum torque with a plateau from 1800 rpm to 5000 rpm. It's acceleration on demand.
The Audi S-tronic transmission is a clear bonus as well. Although capable of wholly automatic leave-it-in-drive operation, the S-tronic is a dual-clutch gearbox that, unlike a conventional automatic transmission, is a conventional manual transmission that, thanks to an electronically-controlled shift system with two clutches. Because the clutches can "overlap"–one disengaging as the other engages–the S-tronic transmission can change gears, Audi says, in as little as 0.2 seconds. Or in other words, faster than we could time with our stopwatch.
The transmission has a sport automatic mode, but for a truly sport fashion there's the full manual mode, activated via tip-shifting the shifter lever or the steering wheel-mounted paddles.
The Audi A3's shifting is not only sub-second quick but it also has a right now immediacy that doesn't require planning ahead or any anticipation where the tachometer needle will be, as with most paddle-shifted automatic transmissions. Tap the up or down paddle and the next gear is simply there, with the added fillip of a neat rev-match blip of the throttle when picking up a lower gear.
Upshifts at redline (or kick-down shifts) can be done fully automatically, even in manual mode, by pressing hard on the throttle pedal. In general driving in full-automatic mode, most shifts are kitty purr smooth though the transmission was occasionally confused by what we wanted to do at a particular moment, and it was frequently grumpy for the first couple of shifts when stone cold.
Sum of the whole The whole, as they say, is greater than the sum of its parts. That's where the A3's fun comes in. Our test 2011 Audi A3 2.0 TFSI S-tronic had the same Calvin and Hobbes-like enthusiasm for the road as the Audi A4 Avant we tested, only in a yet more pint-sized container. With the A3, "nip and tuck" isn't a surgical procedure, just the way the A3 drives.
The engine is very smooth at idle and growls on acceleration, most of the sound coming front the rear end of the car, though never feels stressed. Anyway, the 2.0-liter's torque spread makes tight back roads easy.
Our choice of Audi A3 would have been quattro-equipped, all-wheel drive negating torque steer and all that, but Audi's suspension design makes the steering wheel kick-free, with the loss of traction at a front wheel, such as on runoff at the inside of a tight corner, just means a loss of traction, not the car going off towards an alternate universe. We'd still choose quattro if it were our car–if for nothing but all-weather traction–but we were impressed by the 2011 A3's front-drive performance.
In addition to the 2.0 TFSI/S-tronic/front-wheel drive configuration we tested, the 2011 Audi A3 is also available mix-and-match with quattro all-wheel drive and with a conventional six-speed manual transmission. The 2011 Audi A3 is also offered with the 2.0 TDI clean diesel but only with front-wheel drive and the S-tronic transmission.
The Audi A3 comes standard with leather seating, "one-touch" power window front and rear and a 60/40 split-folding rear seat that unfortunately doesn't fold flat. Our tester came with "navigation plus", which we found easy to operate, unlike the standard audio which, at the very least, will require study to figure out. The Premium plus package adds killer Xenon headlamps that do for high beam that lesser Xenon headlamps do for low beam , and more, including Bluetooth, power driver's seat and special option-specific wheels. The optional "Open Sky" two-pane panoramic sun roof has translucent fabric for a sun shield that unrolls manually.
We're surprised, however, that a vehicle with a base price of $28,750, optioned up to $35,250, with standard leather seating doesn't have heated seats.
Still, we were engaged with Audi's A3 2.0 TFSI with S-tronic and front-wheel drive, but if premium compact doesn't fully describe the A3–and it doesn't–may we suggest a new sub-niche and call it premium compact sport? That's the Audi A3 and we'll even let Audi have dibs on it.

"What party are people talking about, they just played music."
Earlier this week, Saudi authorities in Jeddah shut down a local cafe because it hosted a "loud mixed-gender party," Twasul news site reported.
The woman who owns the cafe - along with the employees - were referred to the kingdom's public prosecution for investigation.
The action taken against them comes after a video capturing the event went viral on Saudi Twitter. In the footage, men and woman can be seen enjoying an ordinary gathering as music plays in the background.
The cafe's owner faces legal action if her business doesn't have a government license to host musical events.
This is due to a 2017 order passed by Mecca's governor Prince Khaled Al-Faisal, which states that any event featuring music, DJ performances or live bands is considered illegal unless it's licensed by officials.
The decision to shut down the place divided many on Twitter. Some are all for the closure of the cafe because they believe the kingdom's laws had been violated.
However, others are completely against the action, calling it regressive and completely uncalled for.
"Such great action taken against this place."
"Where are we living? We want to see these people punished."
"Oh so you think this is an achievement now?"
"And you want a vision and tourism"
"Get me out of Saudi Arabia, I am done with regression. It's pretty simple, you like this cafe, go to it, you don't, just stay at home and preach to your own family."
Last year, authorities in Saudi Arabia's Jazan Governorate ordered the immediate closure of a resort that hosted a mixed-gender concert.
The shut down came after a video capturing parts of the event went viral on Saudi Twitter and sparked public outrage.
Though the concert was licensed by the kingdom's Tourism Authority, Jazan's governor decided to take immediate action against the resort, after people reported that violations occurred during performances.
