Kings vs. Pistons NBA Predictions Against the Spread 11/4/17
Derek Patrick
Kings vs. Pistons Pick
Will the Detroit Pistons win a second home game in as many days Saturday night versus the Sacramento Kings? Game time is 7PM EST.
According to oddsmakers at Bovada.lv, the Pistons are 9.5-point favorites on the spread line. The over-under is 194 points.
Sacramento comes in with a 1-7 record after a 113-86 loss at the Celtics, their sixth straight defeat. Detroit is 6-3 following a 105-96 win Friday night at home over the Bucks. The Kings won both meetings last season straight up and ATS. The over-under went 1-1.
The Kings were led by Buddy Hield off the bench as he had 17 points and seven rebounds in the loss at Boston. Zach Randolph had 16 points and five boards. George Hill scored 10 points. Sacramento trailed 58-45 at halftime and were outscored 31-15 in the third quarter.
Detroit was paced by Andre Drummond in the win over Milwaukee as he tallied 24 points and 15 rebounds. He also shot 14-of-16 from the free throw line and is now 28-36 on the season, a marked improvement for someone who came into the season a 38 percent free throw shooter. Avery Bradley contributed 23 points and three steals. Tobias Harris added 13 points. The Pistons led 59-48 at halftime and held on in the second half.
The Kings are 3-0-1 ATS in the last four meetings. The over is 7-2-1 in the last 10 meetings overall in Detroit, but the under is 6-2 in the last eight meetings overall.
Bet on Bucks vs. Pistons
Detroit is playing outstanding basketball and should certainly win this game despite being on a back-to-back, but with the Kings being more rested and being a better team than maybe their early-season play indicates is a good reason to believe this will be a competitive game. Look for the Sacramento veterans to finally make a difference and the young talent such as De'Aaron Fox show there is a reason for future optimism.

NOTES ON JAZZ
A forum for jazz reviews, discussion of new jazz & blues music, the musicians, reviews of recent and historical releases, reviews of live performances, concerts, interviews and almost anything I find of interest. by Ralph A. Miriello
Martin Wind's "White Noise" w Philip Catherine and Ack Van Rooyten : A Sound Oasis.
White Noise Martin Wind, Philip Catherine & Ack Van Rooyen, Laika Records
There is a beautiful warmth and sonorous resonance to the work of bassist Martin Wind. I have heard Wind's playing musically enrich work performed with saxophonist Scott Robinson, the drummer Matt Wilson, the guitarist Ulf Meyer and the pianists' Bill Cunliffe and Bill Mays. The soloist/accompaniest has composed, played, and recorded on over ten of his own leader /co-leader releases including Get It (2010), the orchestral Turn Out the Stars, Music Written and Inspired by Bill Evans (2014), and Light Blue (2018).
Flensburg, Germany born Wind graduated from the Cologne Music Conservatory in 1995 where he studied with orchestral bassist Wolfgang Guettler. He placed 3rd in that year's Thelonious Monk Bass Competition in Washington. At the age of seventeen, Wind was exposed to the work of Belgian guitarist Philip Catherine in a duo with the iconic Danish bassist Niels-Henning Ørstead Pederson on their album The Viking and the Dane's bass work left a lasting impression. Wind came to the US in 1996 where continued studies at NYU earning a Master's degree in jazz performance and composition. His bass work has a distinctive orchestral influence. His large, warm sound and inherent sense of rhythm deftly anchor any work that he performs, and he can employ a gorgeous arco technique at will.
Philip Catherine, Ack Van Rooyen and MArtin Wind
Wind realized his wish to play with the respected guitarist Catherine in 2013 when the duo recorded their first album the duo New Folks. The latest release White Noise is an attempt by Wind to create a "Kind of sound oasis." His goal "In a world where silence is becoming more and of a luxury, I wanted to create a little acoustic opposite pole." The album succeeds and it is in no small part due to his two seasoned bandmates. Wind is the youngest of this trio at fifty-two, with Catherine at a sprite seventy-seven and Van Rooyen as the elder master at the age of ninety!
Wind opens a Kenny Wheeler composition "Canter" with a vibrating arco opening that resonates with overtones and emanates with a visceral yearning. A gorgeous melody, Catherine's gentle touch, and Van Rooyen's mellow-toned flugelhorn lead the listener to this magical world of calm and beauty, as Wind sustains the gentle rhythm of a canter. A rewarding respite to another world of tranquility and beauty.
Cole Porter's "Everything I Love" captures a nostalgic time when a good song and some swing could take you to a less strenuous time. Van Rooyen's horn is mellow and bubbly, and Catherine's guitar adds some offbeat licks that surprise. Wind's bass solo is buoyant, cheerful, and swinging.
Wind wrote the title song "White Noise" with his bandmates in mind. Catherine utilizes some subtle and effective echo and electronics to create the opening that leads you into this unknown territory. The music has an ethereal ECM feel to it with Van Rooyen's searching horn work floating over the soft accompaniment of his bandmates. Catherine's guitar work here reminds me of some of guitarist John Abercrombie's atmospheric outings. Despite being able to lose yourself in the clouds that these guys create, you never lose the beauty of the melody that sustains you throughout.
Van Heusen and Burke's standard "But Beautiful" is one of two duo features on the album with Catherine and Wind taking it slow and demonstrating a sense of familiar simpatico. Catherine's playing is just beautiful and a modicum of artistry.
"The Dream" is a moving ballad that Wind wrote for his first meeting with guitarist Pat Metheny when they played together at Jazz Baltica in 2003. Catherine's gorgeous strumming and Van Rooyen's plaintive horn work are at top form and Wind's plucky bass solo work is superb.
Ack Van Rooyen's composition "Autumn Bugle" is a searching, blues-based ballad that features the Dutchman's warm tone and Catherine's sensitive accompaniment. I've not heard this artist before, but the man's articulation and expressive emotional delivery are especially noteworthy. In the liner notes Wind called Van Rooyen an angel and the nonagenarian jokingly admits to being maybe an aging angel.
Wind wrote the "Genius and a Saint" for a friend and fellow bassist Bob Bowen who had sadly been the victim of a fatal bicycle accident. There is a somber, deliberate sense to this tune initially. Soon Catherine and Wind change the feel enlivening it with more hopeful approach. Catherine's inventive approach offers strumming his guitar like a mandolin, adds some rapid arpeggios, utilizes some beautiful fingered chording, and includes some modulated volume. Wind buoys the rhythm with a more aggressive pace that energizes the mood behind Catherine's expressive adventures.
Wind opens up with a bellowing bass solo on Styne and Kahn's poignant standard "I Fall in Love Too Easily." Van Rooyen's flugelhorn spells out the melody before Catherine's guitar harmonizes the music with his own improvised ideas to end the set.
Van Rooyen and Catherine have lived through a period of time that has given them a sage's perspective of history's vagaries. With Wind, these gentlemen lend their maturity and sensitivity to this project with this music and their artistry. Martin Wind's White Noise is a welcomed celebration of music that soothes, entertains, and delights in today's age of uncertainty and tension.

Why Is The Statue Of Liberty Green?
by Lucas Beaumont June 2, 2021, 4:40 pm 1.3k Views
Common knowledge indicates that the simple explanation is: copper. A closer look shows that, according to scientific research, the salts in copper have this blue/green color. One theory about the Statue of Liberty is that the rain washes away a thin layer of the surface and makes the color appear. Others theorize that "weathering" of the chemicals in the statue cause the color to appear. Temperature has some effect on this process, according to this theory.
The truth is something of a combination of these ideas. The metal, copper, has the familiar shining, brown/gold color that we see on a penny. With rain, snow, sunshine and wind, the copper that the statue surface is made of becomes tarnished. According to laboratory studies, natural copper will turn to this blue/green hue with regular exposure out of doors.
The statue has a copper coating that changes color and degrades slightly over time because of oxidation. This process is similar to that which makes iron rust. The metal reacts to the oxygen in our air.
Through several steps of the process, the metal surface changes color, even showing some black at times. This darker color turns green when it reacts to such compounds as sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide.
Some scientists have studied the Statue of Liberty closely to see how much the surface has degraded over time. In the 100+ years that the statue has stood in the harbor only a tiny fraction of the surface has been lost to oxidation. In fact, workers only had to reconstruct the torch and then actually had to change its color to match the rest of the statue. The copper sheeting of the Statue is 3/32 of an inch thick (2.37mm).
The Statue of Liberty and its island base are a national monument. The centennial was celebrated in 1986, so the copper surface has held up very well. This statue was originally presented to the United States by the people of France. It was sculpted by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi. The designer of the Eiffel Tower designed the framework that holds the statue.
Various fundraising efforts put the money in place by 1885 and the construction was completed the next year. The statue was transported by ship in several hundred pieces and assembled for the October, 1886 dedication.
The blue/green Statue of Liberty stands more than 300 feet high (to the top of the torch). The statue's crown contains 25 windows. The crown has seven rays.

The Olive Tree and Olive Oil
Today more than 90% of the olive oil produced in Crete is of the higher classification of 'extra virgin'
Frangokastello, Sfakia: olive tree
Greece is full of olive groves. The Olive Tree, "the tree that feeds the children" according to Sophocles, is the protagonist of the Greek nature and history as olive oil is the protagonist of the Greek diet.
The indigenous olive tree (wild olive tree) first appeared in the eastern Mediterranean but it was in Greece that it was first cultivated. Since then, the presence of the olive tree in the Greek region has been uninterrupted and closely connected with the traditions and the culture of the Greek people.
Olive oil, as it is testified by the fossilised olive trees which are 50,000-60,000 thousand years old and were found in the volcanic rocks of Santorini, has always been a distinctive element of the country. Its systematic cultivation started in the pre-historic times: the Stone and Bronze Age.
Olive oil production held a prominent position in the Cretan Minoan and the Mycenaean society and economy as is shown by excavations and findings (earthenware jars, recordings on tablets, remains of oil mills). During the Minoan Period, olives were treated and oil was produced which in turn was stored in earthenware jars and amphorae. Quite often it was exported to the Aegean islands and mainland Greece. Apart from the financial gains, though, the olive tree was worshipped as sacred and its oil, besides being offered to the Gods and the dead, was also used in the production of perfumes, medicine and in daily life as a basic product in diet, lighting and heating.
Olive harvesting on ancient pot
An undoubted native of Syria and the maritime parts of Asia Minor, its abundance in Greece and the islands of the Archipelago, and the frequent allusions to it by the earliest poets, seem to indicate that the olive tree was there also indigenous; but in localities remote from the Levant it may have escaped from cultivation, reverting more or less to its primitive type. It shows a marked preference for calcareous soils and a partiality for the sea breeze, flourishing with especial luxuriance on the limestone slopes and crags that often form the shores of the Greek peninsula and adjacent islands, like Crete.
The olive tree, even when free increase is unchecked by pruning, is of very slow growth; but, where allowed for ages its natural development, the trunk sometimes attains a considerable diameter. The olives in the East often receive little attention, the branches being allowed to grow freely and without curtailment by the pruning-knife; water, however, must be supplied in long droughts to ensure a crop; with this neglectful culture the trees bear abundantly only at intervals of three or four years; thus, although wild growth is favorable to the picturesque aspect of the plantation, it is not to be recommended on economic grounds. Where the olive is carefully cultivated, as in Crete, it is planted in rows at regular intervals, the distance between the trees varying in different olivettes, according to the variety grown. Careful pruning is practiced, the object being to preserve the flower-bearing shoots of the preceding year, while keeping the head of the tree low, so as to allow the easy gathering of the fruit; a dome or rounded form is generally the aim of the pruner. The spaces between the trees are occasionally manured with rotten dung or other nitrogenous matter.
Frangokastello olive grove
The fruit when ripe is, by the careful grower, picked by hand and deposited in cloths or baskets for conveyance to the mill; but in many parts of Spain and Greece, and generally in Asia, the olives are beaten down by poles or by shaking the boughs, or even allowed to drop naturally. In Crete the olives are collected in nets, lying on the ground. In southern Europe the olive harvest is in the winter months, continuing for several weeks.
How olive oil is made
Steps to olive oil making once you've grown and picked the olives:
1. Cleaning the olives: Stems, twigs and leaves are removed and the olives may or may not be cleaned with water to remove pesticides, dirt, etc.
2. Grinding the olives to paste: Stone rollers or wheels roll in circles on a slab of granite to grind the olives into a paste, or an electric motor attached to a toothed grinder pulverizes the olives as they are flung away from the center.
3. Mixing to increase olive oil yield: Mixing or Malaxation for 20 to 40 minutes allows small oil droplets to combine into bigger ones which can be removed in the next step. It is an absolutely necessary step. The paste is often heated to 28 degrees centigrade during this process.
4. Separating the oil and water from the fruit (pomace): using a press.
5. Separating the oil from the water: the liquid is spun by a centrifuge.
6. Processing the oil, further extraction: refining, bleeching and deodorising, to reduce acidity and improve flavor.
7. Storage and Bottling considerations: Olive Oil can be stored in containers as mundane as plastic or as indestructible as stainless steel. Oil deteriorates through the action of lipase and other enzymes in the oil and the action of oxygen. Oxidation or rancidity speeds up with light and heat exposure.
8. Tasting and rating the oil: Olive oil is graded by its acidity and also by its flavor as judged by experts.
Broadly speaking, international legislation divides the various classes of olive oil into
(a) virgin olive oils (i.e. those which have not been refined) and
(b) the chemically refined oils (called "olive oil" or "pure olive oil").
Virgin olive oil fit for consumption as is (i.e. "natural") includes:
1. Extra virgin olive oil: virgin olive oil which has a free acidity, expressed as oleic acid, of not more than 1 gram per 100 grams
2. Virgin olive oil: (the qualifier "fine" may be used at the production and wholesale stage): virgin olive oil which has a free acidity, expressed as oleic acid, of not more than 2 grams per 100 grams
3. Ordinary virgin olive oil: virgin olive oil which has a free acidity, expressed as oleic acid, of not more than 3,3 grams per 100 grams
In Crete nowadays modern equipment is being used to produce olive oil.
Olive products of the Chania region, west Crete
The Peripheral unit of Chania produced excellent quality olive oil, mainly from the fine Koroneïki olives. Most, in fact, of the olive oil produced in the county is designated as PDO (Protected Designation of Origin) and PGI (Geographical Indications).
Today in the P.U. of Chania there are 410,000 acres with cultivated olives. The average oil production during the years 2011-2013 ranged to 16,660 tonnes. At the same time the production of edible olives ranged to 150 tonnes.
The oil produced in the P.U. of Chania has low acidity and has a rich flavor, which makes it very popular. It is offered in different kinds of packaging, depending on the requirements of the consumers in each country.
There are 17 companies active in the field of olive products in Chania.
In the Cretan kitchen olive oil plays a dominating role. There is practically no dish, which is not served with olive oil. Even today in daily life Cretans prefer a vegetarian diet with beans and other pulses, greens, vegetables and grains, cheese, pasta and potatoes. Meat dishes are reserved for special events, when they host guests or go out for dinner together with friends and family.
Salads are drowned in olive oil, so are fresh feta cheese and vegetables. Dipping bread into the juicy mixture of oil and tomato juice at the bottom of the salad bowl is a delicacy no one should miss when visiting Crete.
There is increasing scientific evidence that there are positive health effects from diets which are high in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains, and which include fish, nuts and low-fat dairy products. Such diets need not be restricted in total fat as long as there is not an excess of calories, and emphasize predominantly vegetable oils that are low in saturated fats and partially-hydrogenated oils. The traditional Mediterranean Diet, whose principal source of fat is olive oil, encompasses these dietary characteristics.
The Mediterranean diet
The term traditional "Mediterranean diet" has a specific meaning. It reflects food patterns typical of some Mediterranean regions in the early 1960's, such as Crete, parts of the rest of Greece, and southern Italy.
• an abundance of plant food (fruit, vegetables, breads, other forms of cereals, potatoes, beans, nuts, and seeds);
• minimally processed, seasonally fresh, and locally grown foods;
• fresh fruit as the typical daily dessert, with sweets containing concentrated sugars or honey consumed a few time per week;
• olive oil as the principal source of fat;
• dairy products (principally cheese and yogurt) consumed daily in low to moderate amounts;
• fish and poultry consumed in low to moderate amounts;
• zero to four eggs consumed weekly;
• red meat consumed in low amounts; and
• wine consumed in low to moderate amounts, normally with meals.
As much as can be determined, this diet was low in saturated fat (less than or equal to 7-8% of energy), with total fat ranging from less than 25% to more than 35% of energy from one area to another. Data also indicate that work in the field or kitchen resulted in a lifestyle that included regular physical activity and was associated with far less obesity than was observed in the United States.
Data about the Olive Tree and Greece
• Many people claim that the oldest olive tree, 5,000 years old, is in Pano Vouves, in Kolymvari, Chania. The average life expectancy of an olive tree is 300-600 years.
• The cultivation and exploitation technique today is not very different from the one used in ancient times
• The Mediterranean area produces 99% of the world olive oil production
• Greece, despite the fact that it is a small country in magnitude, stands in the 3rd position in the world in the olive oil production, after Spain and Italy
• There are today approximately 120,000,000 olive trees in Greece (the population of the country is approximately 10,000,000) covering an area of approximately 6 million stremmata (1 stremma=1000 m2 / about ¼ of an acre). Approximately 450,000 Greek families are involved in the cultivation of the olive tree and the processing of its fruit all over the country
• The prefectures of Heraklion and Messinia are in the first position in the production of olive oil in Greece
• Greece is the biggest exporter of Extra Pure Olive Oil considered the best quality of olive oil
• The Greeks are today the first consumers of olive oil compared to any other people and the per capita consumption is approximately 16 kilos annually. In Crete, consumption comes up to 30 kilos per year per person. Scientific research has proven that the Cretan diet is the healthiest in the world
• Biological cultivation of the olive tree in Greece started approximately 10 years ago in Mani and it is estimated that today it uses 15,000 stremmata while it is expected to exceed 35,000 stremmata in the next years.

Why 1996 Was the Most Important Year in Wrestling History
ByChaz Kangas
When wrestling fans are asked to name the industry's most influential year, a few come to mind. There's the 1985 Rock 'N' Wrestling Connection with WWF on MTV, the same year WrestleMania debuted. There's 1998 and the pinnacle of mainstream attention for WWF and WCW as they competed for ratings on opposite cable networks. Longtime fans might even point to 1950 when pioneer grappler Gorgeous George became one of television's first major stars. But while all those years would qualify as high points for the industry, they can't equal the seismic shift the wrestling word experienced in 1996.
Merch is one indicator of the overall health of the business, and twenty years ago the wrestling world experienced a flood of black-and-white t-shirts whose ubiquity was unrivaled by any late-'90s craze this side of South Park. And one of the leaders of the craze was a bald-headed brawler from Texas.
It's telling how utterly unrecognizable the product in any company was in 1997 compared to where it was in 1995.
Before "Stone Cold" Steve Austin was a world champion, reality show host, and podcast favorite, he was another superstar looking for his breakout moment. He'd only been "Stone Cold" for about four months at this point, having first briefly began his WWF career as "The Ringmaster." Due to a change in booking plans originally meant for a wrestler with a pompous Connecticut blue-blood gimmick named Hunter Hearst-Helmsley, Austin was slated to defeat newly born-again Christian Jake "The Snake" Roberts in the finals of the King of the Ring tournament on June 23. Playing off Roberts' recent religious conversion, during a post-match interview Austin dropped the line "Austin 3:16 says I just whooped your ass," giving birth to a catchphrase that would help propel him to the top of the entertainment world.
Two weeks later, during WWF's leading competitor WCW's pay-per-view Bash at the Beach, former WWF talents Scott "Razor Ramon" Hall and Kevin "Diesel" Nash promised a mystery partner for their in-ring debut. Insinuating in the storyline that they were sent by the Federation to lead a hostile takeover of the Ted Turner-owned WCW (which led to real legal action from the WWF themselves), their third partner was revealed to be former WWF icon Hulk Hogan. This turned The Hulkster heel for the first time in over a decade, as he, off the cuff, referred to his trio as "the New World Order of wrestling, brother." Before you knew it, the bad guys became cool and black-and-white nWo shirts began filling WCW arenas coast-to-coast.
But 1996 was also the year of some of wrestling's most critical debuts. Late in the year at New York's famed Madison Square Garden, a young third-generation wrestler who had been competing in Memphis under the deliciously '90s name Flex Kavana was set to make his debut at Survivor Series. Re-christened "Rocky Maivia" as a nod to his father and grandfather, Dwayne Johnson's auspicious debut would be the beginning of a WWF/WWE run for a man who would inevitably become one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
But outside of the professional wrasslin' realm, 1996 also had a monumental moment in Olympic wrestling as the United States took home the gold in freestyle heavyweight wrestling, thanks to Pittsburgh-native Kurt Angle. It's true, Angle defeated Iran's Abbas Jadidi while having a broken neck, or, as Angle would say, a "broken freakin' neck." While his success here eventually lead him to the WWF as the most successful amateur/professional-crossover wrestler of all time, as well as paving a way for successful amateur wrestlers to enter modern sports-entertainment, his first appearance in a squared circle happened in a renegade independent company gaining serious buzz just east of him over in Philadelphia.
Extreme Championship Wrestling or ECW (or as louder fans lovingly refer to it "E! C! W!") was in a lot of ways the last of the large non-WWF/WCW wrestling territories operating on a major level. An alternative adults-only counter-culture entity created to cater to wrestling audiences wanting a less family-friendly affair, ECW's nationally syndicated weekly show was one hour of cutting-edge matches and envelope-pushing storylines edited with the speed of a post-grunge MTV program. Popular hard rock and hip-hop scored the mayhem. Boasting wrestlers drinking beer, luchadores defying gravity, and breathtaking dives from balconies through tables, its cult fandom quickly spread and inadvertently set the tone for how its larger competitors would stylize their television programming in the coming years.
One of the few names to perform for WWF, WCW, and ECW in the same calendar year was former football player Brian Pillman. While his untimely death one year later would prevent him from becoming a major star in wrestling's upcoming peak, the ripples from angles and personas he'd introduce in 1996 are still being felt today.
Starting his year in WCW with a storyline that only he and one or two higher-ups in the company were clued in on before it aired, he'd begin using "insider" terms on television. This made even the most jaded fans wonder again what in wrestling was actually real. Bringing this character to ECW (complete with his own unaffiliated 1-900 number, a direct line of communication with fans a decade before social media) and then appearing in WWF where he'd pull out a gun on-air before the end of the year—which almost got Monday Night Raw canceled—Pillman established a new set of boundaries.
As fun as it was to immerse yourself in wrestling in 1996, there was no way to know the impact it would ultimately have. However, looking back 20 years later, those 12 months were the most consequential in modern North American wrestling history. It's telling how utterly unrecognizable the product in any company was in 1997 compared to where it was in 1995. This was the year the course was changed. And that's the bottom line.

I've not experienced this myself although I don't use AxCrypt on a network share.
When you say "AxCrypt decrypts all the files in this secured folder" I assume that you mean the icons change from the green padlock to their original icon?
It's not clear whether you're describing a 'permanent' decryption (where you'll need to manually re-encrypt) or a temporary decryption where you can work with the files by just double clicking on them. If it's the second scenarion (decrypt when you click on them) this is an intended behaviour.
Do the files in the original folder encrypt themselves once you've logged out? Does the error reproduce thereafter?

Before you @ us about how the 2018 Mazda MX-5 Miata could be bested in a straight line by any one of a number of current minivans, please allow us to explain our choice for the best performance car of 2018.
In our world, sports cars encompass not just the numbers printed on the stat sheet, but also the thrill of the drive. And when choosing our winner for Best Performance Car, it is hard to argue that the Miata is anything other than a 10-ticket thrill ride.
People living in areas where rain and snow are commonplace will want to check out the MX-5 Miata RF, which has a retractable fastback hardtop.
The Mazda MX-5 Miata's soul is centered around two things: lightness and balance. By keeping the car's curb weight in the neighborhood of 2,500 pounds – a rare accomplishment in an era of automotive bloat – Mazda has given its roadster some of the best reflexes on the market.
The Miata's suspension and chassis work together to provide a near-direct line of communication between the road and the driver, providing a level of connection that has been insulated away in larger and more powerful contenders in this segment. Combine this visceral sensation of driving with a 2.0-liter 4-cylinder engine that is happy to rev to redline as it produces 155 horsepower (especially when choosing the 6-speed manual over the 6-speed automatic transmission), and you've got a recipe for lightning in a bottle.
This car is a throwback to the kind of engaging and accessible sports car formula that has been largely usurped by high-horsepower rockets tethered to the Earth by wide, sticky tires and electronic nannies rather than a driver's wits.
Mazda has engineered the cabin of the 2016 Miata to feel snug, with a focus on symmetry throughout.
Should the Miata's convertible top not fit your year-round driving requirements, then you should consider the MX-5 Miata RF, or 'retractable fastback' model. It supplies a folding hardtop, splitting the difference between open-air fun and all-weather practicality.
Whichever route you choose, the Mazda MX-5 Miata remains our pick for anyone seeking a sports car that relies primarily upon its driver, rather than a suite of software, to spike your adrenaline. The car's affordable $26,185 starting price certainly doesn't hurt its case, either.
If you have an unquenchable need for speed, or prefer to drive something that doesn't threaten your fragile masculinity, perhaps one of our runners-up might be a better choice. If that's true, we also recommend the following models, listed in alphabetical order.

Directions: Get out of Marymount Station (Circle Line) from Exit A. Face north and walk 400 meters. You should walk past an overhead bridge, then Shunfu Road followed by a second overhead bridge. Cross the second bridge and Marymount View is there... at the junction of Marymount Road and Pemimpin Drive. Just opposite Shunfu Estate.

Want to Tick Off Customers? Get Political
By Chad BrooksBusinessNewsDaily
Companies that take unpopular stances on social issues risk alienating both consumers and future employees, new research shows.
A study by public affairs consulting firm Gavin/Solmonese found that more than three-quarters of shoppers are at least somewhat likely to base their buying decisions on a company's position on social issues. Overall, nearly 80 percent of the consumers surveyed feel corporations should behave in a socially responsible manner and take an active role in social issues. Environmental responsibility, global human rights and coverage for reproductive care for women are among the issues they care about most.
"We have tangible proof that Americans are interested in engaging with businesses that behave ethically and contribute economically in order to improve the quality of their workforce, their communities and society at large," said Joe Solmonese, founder and managing partner of Gavin/Solmonese. "This should send a powerful message to corporate America."
When it comes to one of the most hotly debated social issues, same-sex marriage, the research revealed that more than 80 percent of U.S. employees are willing to work for a company that supports gay marriage. Younger workers between the ages of 18 and 34 were the most likely age group to want to work for an employer that supported marriage equality.
"Clearly, these young adults are a prime hiring demographic for employers and are our nation's next generation of business leaders," Solmonese said. "Their opinions are likely to set the tone for the future — and companies would be wise to consider their position on marriage equality if they want to attract an engaged and diverse workforce moving forward."
The study was based on surveys of more than 2,000 adults 18 and older.

What is it about Python—the language, the ecosystem, the development processes around them—that has made it into such a favorite for data science?
Python has long enjoyed growing popularity in many areas of software development—scripting and process automation, web development, general applications. More recently it has become a leading language in machine learning. In this article we'll look at the four major reasons why Python has become a juggernaut in that field.
The first major reason is of a piece with why Python has become a general success story: the language makes things simple and keeps them simple.
When Python was first developed, a major goal of the language was to be easy to both write and read. Code is read far more often than it's written, especially in environments where it changes hands from one team to another. If you're inheriting a machine learning application from another developer, especially one that makes use of multiple third-party components or has a good deal of custom business logic, it helps to have it written in a language that adds as little extra cognitive overhead as possible. Good Python code will have that quality, even more so than other languages.


If you are an athlete who is serious in his or her quest to achieve that desirable physique, you are unmistakably acquainted with soy protein and whey protein. Both building blocks are actually considered to be very good for the human body because the two contains all the amino acids, be it essential or non- essential. Actually, in the circle of bodybuilders, soy protein only comes second to whey protein as their partner in achieving that desirable physique.
In the issue of building blocks, soy protein and whey protein are actually the most researched. Soy protein in a dry weight basis is highly palatable at a percentage of 97 where it tolerates the likes of leucine and valine, among the others that are not generated by the human body, to be sucked up across the GI tract. Whey protein is taken out by going through two methods namely micro- filtration and ion- exchange. Micro- filtration is physically performed while ion- exchange is electronically squeezed.
The processes utilized for soy protein and whey protein cost huge bucks. When you head straight to the dairy goods section of a grocery store and notice the prices, it will tell you that whey protein is way more expensive than soy protein. When the matter comes to isolate and concentrate, concentrate is more cheaper than isolate though. The reason behind the monetary value is the proven quality of Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score of 1.0.
Glutamine is one of those that can be spotted in soy protein and whey protein. The non- essential amino acid is regarded to be the human body's major transmitter of nitrogen in the muscles and tissues which assist in defending the build- up of lactic acid in the bloodstream. This is also very beneficial to the immune system because there is a boost of muscle activity, hormonal level and immune competence. There is 10.5 grams found in isolate while there is 4.9 grams spotted in concentrate.
Branded chain amino acids (BCAA) are among those seen in soy protein and whey protein that can be very much exhausted when one performs strenuous exercises. Upon doing movements that require tough endurance, nitrogen is gone from the BCAA and is then transformed to the vessel down to the liver in order to generate glucose. The simple sugar in return then provides energy when an individual sweats out profusely.

Marco Polo serves as a gentleman-commander and is imprisoned in Genoa
Marco Polo did not return to Asia again.
He entered the service of Venice in its war against the rival city-state of Genoa. In 1298 Marco served as a gentleman-commander of a galley in the Venetian navy. In September 1298 he was captured and imprisoned in Genoa. His fame as an adventurer had preceded him, and he was treated with courtesy and leniency. He was released within a year. Little is known of Marco Polo's life after his return to Venice. He apparently returned to private life and business until his death about 1324.
During his captivity in Genoa, Marco Polo dictated the story of his travels. The man he told his story to was a fellow prisoner named Rusticiano, a Pisan who wrote in the romantic style of 13th-century literature. A combination of Marco Polo's gift of observation and the literary style of Rusticiano emerged in the final version of Marco Polo's travels. The book included Marco Polo's personal recollections as well as stories related to him by others.

We next hear of Marco Polo in a militant capacity. Jealousies had been growing in bitterness between Venice and Genoa throughout the 13th century. In 1298 the Genoese prepared to strike at their rivals on their own ground, and a powerful fleet under Lamba Doria made for the Adriatic. Venice, on hearing of the Genoese armament, equipped a fleet still more numerous, and placed it under Andrea Dandolo. The crew of a Venetian galley at this time amounted, all told, to 250 men, under a comito or master, but besides this officer each galley carried a sopracomito or gentleman-commander, usually a noble. On one of the galleys of Dandolo's fleet Marco Polo seems to have gone in this last capacity. The hostile fleets met before Curzola Island on the 6th of September, and engaged next morning. The battle ended in a complete victory for Genoa, the details of which may still be read on the façade of St. Matthew's church in that city. Sixty-six Venetian galleys were burnt in Curzola Bay, and eighteen were carried to Genoa, with 7000 prisoners, one of whom was Marco Polo.
A few years after his return to Venice in 1295, Marco found himself aboard a Venetian ship under the post of gentleman-commander during a regional war between Venice and Genoa. The ship was captured by the Genoese fleet and Marco consequently spent the next few years, until May of 1299, in a Genoa prison. It was during this period that Marco found the time to dictate, possibly with the help of notes taken during his voyage, the story of his years abroad. Rustigielo, a citizen of Pisa and fellow prisoner of Marco, took down Marco's story. The book was dictated in prison and copied by hand, as the technology of mass printing had not yet immigrated to Europe from China. As a consequence, there exist today many versions, translations, and reconstructions of the Rustigielo transcript.

Il tribunale giudiziario è la giurisdizione di diritto comune francese in materia giudiziaria.

Organizzazione e competenza
Creato il 1º gennaio 2020, sostituisce il tribunale d'istanza e grande istanza.

Il tribunale giudiziario può essere considerato come la controparte, in materia giudiziaria, del tribunale amministrativo in materia di contenzioso amministrativo.

Il tribunale giudiziario diventa così l'unica giurisdizione di diritto comune di primo grado in materia civile, commerciale e penale, competente per le controversie che non sono state assegnate ad altra giurisdizione.

My analysis is when we need to execute the ME2o, prior to that we need to generate the PO, in the PO, material should belongs to BOM.
In the BOM, sub components ( Child items) are are belongs to different PO for the same vendor then, delivery is splitting. Why delivery is splitting and is there any process to have single delivery even sub componenets are belongs to different PO of same vendor.
That's right, the latent splitting rule of delivery note creation is the PO number, you had better put all components of subcontracting part into the same PO.

Who said punk rock isn't as artistic as it is edgy?
L. KENT WOLGAMOTT Column
"Domino Drawing" a mixed media piece
Rick Lowe, Courtesy photo
A punk rock ethos pervades "Texas Extravagant Drawing" at Fiendish Plots.
Some of that is rooted with the artists themselves -- the most famous of the bunch, Mark Flood got his start in the '80s experimental punk band Culturcide (it's first single: "Consider Museums as Concentration Camps"), while Emilio Mittry is a punk rock bass player today.
Other works, like the "Match" and "Burn" drawings of Rachel Hecker -- "you might think of this as the Amy Winehouse of drawings," said exhibition curator Bill Arning -- embody something of punk's "destroy everything" nature.
That's the intent of Arning, a veteran of the New York late '70s avantgarde music/art No Wave scene and the former director of the Museum of Contemporary Art Houston, who put together the show of works on paper from, with a couple exceptions, Houston artists.
"Art making and art viewing should be something parents worry about, the same way they worry when their kids going to see a hardcore show," Arning said. "Art should be dangerous, in my opinion. It should make someone uncomfortable. It should be like 'do I really want to sign up for this?'
"In my years in not-for-profit I always had to make the argument that art was good for you. But it's not really my basic nature. My basic nature is it should be good for you the way like having a banana split is good for you. It should be taken with care and in moderation. The artists in the show pretty much feel the same way. Their ideology is very much the same."
The show of artists age 23 to their early 60s contains a pair of "Domino Drawings" inspired by old men playing dominos in a park done by MacArthur "genius" award winning artist Rick Lowe and drawings of the cat of stand-up comic Bob Morrissey.
Each is presented tacked to the wall, with no labels of any kind -- another extension of the no stars, everyone can do it punk ethos.
"The shows about a certain leveling and about granting people the right to express their creativity in any form," Arning said.
One of the best examples of the latter is a series of small untitled word drawings from Flood that together
"These little Mark Flood diagrams of the art world is just the way his mind works," Arning said. "He's constantly looking at this stuff. Whether or not these are great art objects -- if you were going to buy a Mark Flood for a museum collection, I would not say get these. But this is definitely a way of thinking about the world. And I like that way of thinking."
Not all the drawings are tossed off, rough or disturbing.
One example -- "Face to Face," a sharpie on Tyvex diptych of actor Steve McQueen looking at one of his female co-star, by Laura Lark is cool and beautiful.
Even the show's most poetic works, say David Kelly's "Letters from the Sea," a set of near-invisible minimally marked, lightly colored drawings touch on the punk ethos as they reference the hallucinatory light effect that comes with meditation or, here's the punk part, drugs.
Punk, however, disappears in one aspect of the exhibition -- the price list. Lowe's drawings go for a cool $18,000 each. Or you can get one of Tod Bailey's colorful, clever, expressionistic India ink on card stock pieces for $200.
That's a measure of the art world, where art and artists are judged via monetary value. But it's not remotely important to "Texas Extravagant Drawing" where the art is presented through a raw, unflinching, revealing punk lens and is all the better for it.

No Bond For Cop Who Prosecutors Say Shot Son Over Vodka
By Ash-har Quraishi	• Published December 14, 2017 • Updated on December 14, 2017 at 10:18 pm
Raymond Leuser, who has been a police officer with the Indian Head Park Police Department for more than 20 years, shot his son multiple times because of a dispute over vodka, prosecutors said in court Thursday.
Chicago police say officers responded to a 911 call from the home in the 6200 block of South Nashville on Tuesday around 2:30 am.
Prosecutors say the 48-year-old suburban police sergeant exited his home with his hands raised.
[[464049043, C]]
Inside police found Leuser's 22-year-old son suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.
According to prosecutors Leuser had purchased pizza, popcorn and vodka the night before and that his son drank three cups of the vodka and then replaced it with water.
When the victim encountered his father in the kitchen - prosecutors say Leuser let out a loud scream and opened fire with a .45 caliber handgun - striking his son in both shoulders, leg and abdomen.
Neighbors say the incident is unusal in the quiet neighborhood populated by numerous police officers and firefighters.
The victim was taken in critical condition to advocate christ hospital and has a bullet lodged in his pelvis. Prosecutors say he will need multiple surgeries.
His father is now charged with attempted first degree murder, aggravated battery and illegal discharge of a firearm.
The judge denied bond for Leuser Thursday afternoon. If convicted of the charges he could face up to life in prison.

According to NYC & Company, which is behind the campaign, 27 people were chosen to participate in the campaign's first two phases. Of those, six are black, one if half Korean and the rest — about 80 percent — are white (or, appear to be, anyway). That's non-Hispanic white, by the way.
NYC & Co. says the campaign is "evolving," and they plan to reach out to more Latinos soon. Especially fictional characters!
"We have a list of people we like to reach out to. It is very diverse. Ugly Betty is coming to the city, and we're reaching out to America Ferrara."
Ugly Betty is a New Yorker. America Ferrara, however, only plays one on television.

Sitting around at a family Christmas gathering a couple of weeks ago, someone mentioned a movie opening near Valentine's day that would satisfy all of us--part chick flick, part zombie movie. (I'm not going to tell you which family members would be swayed by which genre, but I will say the women were pretty into the zombie idea.) Then, we realized it was a book, first and I looked up the blurb (see above). Ha...I had to read it.
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER did I imagine I'd LOVE a zombie story. And not because it was a zombie story, but because it was a good book that happened to have zombies all through it.
The story is told completely from R's perspective. You are with him as he is having his awakening...there is something more than this zombie existence he is living. There's humanity. There's love.
R is profoundly drawn, as a person, who like most of us, is seeking to better himself. You'd expect that a zombie with some self-awareness is trying to rediscover who he was pre-infection. Not R, he just wants to live, in whatever manner that means now. He falls in love with Julie, a warm body, who has been raised to fight and kill zombies, not talk to them. Julie is a strong woman, with a real personality, something I also wouldn't have expected to find in a zombie story with a male protagonist. Seriously, I expected a "passing glance" treatment of her, even though the blurb leads you to believe she's important.
While R's search for humanity in himself is the central part of the story, Julie's change of mind and heart in regards to zombies is just as important. It's a little disturbing to realize that maybe, just maybe, the zombies have a better idea of what humanity is than the "warm bodies" do.
Warm Bodies is atypical for the horror genre...in fact, I'd only class it there because there are zombies, not because it's particularly horrific (although, some of the eating scenes are just graphic enough to paint a good picture). Definitely would recommend this to many.
**I class this a Adult for YA because there is some language and are a couple adult scenes, and, honestly, I don't think the author was aiming for YAs, but it will garner attention for the general story and the movie tie-in.
Goodness, there IS a new twist for dystopian fiction! Being "slated" literally means being given a clean slate. But this is only supposed to be for people (teens) who have committed crimes. Only, it's not. Like all things, there is a black market.
The premise of a future government and its social policies getting twisted towards the nefarious isn't new. It's not even particularly new to find that the protagonist figures it out and tries to find out why. It's a dystopian premise that works.
The political and moral compass impacts in this story were the better part of it. By better, I mean, why I didn't quit reading it.
I very nearly quit reading this because of Kyla, the protagonist. She's blah. Ok, so she's newly released from the rehab facility where individuals are, for lack of a better term, reprogrammed after being slated. I get that she's still "stiff," but that doesn't excuse the plain Jane characterization. She's normal, she's average, yet she's the center of something big. Really? She also, unfortunately, has these "feelings" about places and things. While we all know that the average YA makes decisions based on "feelings," we also know that in dystopian (or just non-realistic fiction), those same YAs want substance from their protagonists. Kyla doesn't have it.
It's....ok. It's not a great story. But, perhaps, there is hope. It is apparently only book 1 of at least 2, 3 maybe. Perhaps, Kyla develops....perhaps there is more to the story as well.

GREAT book for a reluctant reader. It's fast-paced and not too "out there" for the average YA.
Rainfield has created another strong character. Kate struggles visibly--both with her asthma and with her ability and its ramifications. YAs need to see characters struggling and succeeding.
These are themes that play out in our kids' worlds everyday, unfortunately. Rainfield has offered a easy to read, not to heavy way of relating to those students, and showing them that there are ways out--and they start with speaking up.
Great book. Definitely will hit my shelves in print and ebook forms.

I'm kind of ticked with Travis Thrasher right now. This is the end of the Solitary Tales series. I've read the other 3 books, but I wasn't ready for Chris's story to end.
That being said. Good, good book. It's a genre I didn't realize existed when I started the series (Christian Horror--whoda thunk it?). But, I suppose (being a Christian, myself), even we need some horror fiction in our lives that's not full of foul language or explicit scenarios.
Hurt is a nice wrap up to Thrasher's series. It all does come down to a neat package, but after 4 books and a story line that keeps you guessing, a neat package is a good way to end. There is an overlying message, but it's not overt or "in your face." To liken it to a movie experience, it's a Denzel Washington movie---there's a message, but you get so caught up in the story, you don't realize you're also "getting" the message. This 4th book has more of the message than the first 3, but again, it's a closure book, it had to be a little heavier.
Characters are interesting, and I have to say I find some of the "bad guys" a little more developed, though I think that it helps you to identify more with Chris and the "good guys," because you really could be more like the good ones than the scary ones.
All 4 in the Solitary Tales series will be on my school library shelf. I also think this could be a good book study series with a church youth group.

Three teenagers with XP (a life-threatening allergy to sunlight) are a species unto themselves. As seen through the eyes of 16-year-old Allie Kim, they roam the silent streets, looking for adventure, while others sleep. When Allie's best friend introduces the trio to Parkour, the stunt-sport of running and climbing off forest cliffs and tall buildings (risky in daylight and potentially deadly by darkness), they feel truly alive, equal to the "daytimers."
On a random summer night, while scaling a building like any other, the three happen to peer into an empty apartment and glimpse an older man with what looks like a dead girl. A game of cat-and-mouse ensues that escalates through the underground world of hospital confinement, off-the-grid sports, and forbidden love. Allie, who can never see the light of day, discovers she's the lone key to stopping a human monster.
Okay, I'm not altogether sure what to make of this book. I liked it, but...well, let me just start.
First XP (Xeroderma Pigmentosum) is a real condition. For more info, check out this link. Because I can remember seeing a Dateline or similar show about young girls who had a "sun sickness" that kept them from ever having a day time life. So, this book peaked my interest.
The Parkour stuff was interesting, and kind of frightening. Definitely a crazy challenge. I checked out some YouTube videos. Wow.
I like the characters, Allie and Rob are easy to like. Juliette's...not so much, but still that kind of "untouchable" character that I (and many of my students) am drawn to. The mix is angsty and heavy, and real. It works.
But...I kept feeling like I was missing something. There were several references to things that had happened previously that I felt like I was supposed to already know about. But there wasn't a book about these characters before this.
My other concern is that it felt unfinished, but I didn't feel like I needed the next book to move forward. It's clear there will be at least a second book, continuing the story, but I'm not sure I'll rush right out for it.
Overall, it was a disappointment from Mitchard for me.
So, if you pay attention to my blurb at the bottom of every review, you'll notice I get a lot of my books as galleys (i.e. pre-publication copies) from NetGalley. I'm able to peruse what's available through their system, and request the opportunity to read and review titles. It's a lot of fun, and I get to share some neat things now and again.
I've decided to share my galley love with some teen readers. I'm looking for people who love YA literature and want access to pre-publication books and are willing to write honest reviews, like what I do here.
There will be a separate blog for these reviews, and all reviews are subject to editing, by me. So you know, I will only edit for clarity and grammar/spelling. Your thought are yours.
All that being said, it's a good paranormal/gothic YA read. It's really well-written and spooky. You like the characters you should like, you don't like the ones you shouldn't. You kinda wonder about the ones you should kinda wonder about.
I just, I don't know. It didn't stick with me. And maybe it wasn't intended to, but I like to think that YA authors in particular want you to be clamoring for more when you finish their stories. I'm not. It's, ok, but not fabulous. It's a weekend read, but not necessarily one I'd hand off to a friend as soon as I'm done.

Good riddance everyday world, this is the life. Only in reality I'm not basking on golden sand at a ritzy five-star resort, I'm in a conference room in London's Notting Hill where author Julia McCutchen's beautiful voice is leading us through a guided meditation. In her forthcoming book Conscious Writing, she suggests that mindfulness can make writing easier and more enjoyable.
I sit up with a jolt and stare at the blank page of my Moleskine. Reluctantly I force myself to write something, anything, just to look busy. 'What am I doing here? Why am I doing this? What time is it? Why is my handwriting illegible, even to me?' I write stream of consciousness for a minute or so. Eventually, though, my mind drifts on to topics beyond the here and now. Time passes. Scribble scribble. Out of my seemingly random words, very slowly and grudingly new ideas start to bubble up.
Amazingly, by the time McCutchen announces that time's up, I have written a blog post – never mind that I don't even have a blog – about a topic I've never explored before. And ideas for several more posts on the same theme, for my non-existent blog, emerge effortlessly. Where did that all come from?
'Stress contracts our creative flow,' says McCutchen, who also advocates a seven-step pre-writing routine that includes setting an intention, mini-yoga postures and mudras – finger patterns that will be familiar to those who practice yoga.
Interestingly, she doesn't only advocate this process for the 'stream of consciousness' chaos of writing a first draft. She maintains it is just as effective for revisions, line-editing and completing manuscripts as well. The key thing is to set a clear intention before beginning your writing session.
I have used a pared-down version of her method in the weeks since the workshop and I have to admit that the ritual of hushing your mind before hitting the laptop keyboard really does seem to work.
McCutchen believes that the actual process of writing itself is beneficial. Or as she puts it 'The true reward is not what we write but who we become from doing the writing.' Who knows what I will become in the coming months, but I know I have already become a much calmer, less grumpy, writer.
1. Create a conscious writing 'sanctuary' - either set a timer for 15 minutes (longer if you want), or cue up a piece of instrumental music. Ask for insight about what subject you should write about.
2. Use free writing to work towards a point where a decision feels right and creates a flutter of excitement.
3. If you've been pondering the question of what to write about for some time, give yourself permission to come up with a decision that feels 'good enough for now'. Sometimes you just need to dive in and commit to something in order to move forwards.
4. Finally on a fresh page, summarise what you've decided to write and the core message you wish to convey.
