What is a Divorce Hangover and How Do I Avoid One?
Truth be told, I don't drink, so I have never had a hangover. I had plenty of friends in high school and college who had them. From my perspective, it always seemed to me that having a hangover was a mighty steep price to pay for an evening of "fun" that you couldn't even remember the next day. What my friends could remember was the pain and headaches and misery that accompanied their hangover. Frankly, the hangover usually made my friends miserable to be around until after they got over it.
As a family law lawyer in Mesa, I have seen many people suffer from post-divorce hangovers. And, just like my friends who were unpleasant to be around while they were experiencing their drinking hangovers, people with divorce hangovers are unhappy and sometimes difficult to be around. This often extreme unpleasantness can result in unfortunate effects on other family members, particularly children who are often the biggest victims in divorces, as well as other family and friends who are really looking to offer support.
I think the best description of a divorce hangover is found in an article entitled "Taming the Divorce Hangover". Here, the author talks about the pain and emotion, including anger that often accompanies a divorce. There is no shame in having those types of feelings. Divorce is difficult. It is, in reality, a death of sorts; the death of your marriage. For some people the death of their "happily ever after." However, when those feelings of pain and anger are allowed to keep going on and on and don't seem to subside, you are probably experiencing a divorce hangover.
There are numerous problems that can arise from a divorce hangover. One of the big problems I see is that some people just cannot let go. The anger and pain they feel is targeted toward their ex-spouse. In many cases, it is very understandable. But this unchecked, untreated anger leads to bigger problems. In my experience, the anger can lead to things such as a belligerent refusal to pay support ("I'm not giving that evil person my money"), refusal to cooperate with decisions regarding children, finding any reason to haul the ex-spouse back into court, damaged relationships with children and other family members and the list goes on. In some horrible extreme cases, violence occurs.
So how do you deal with a divorce hangover? That's a difficult question to answer. I am a lawyer, not a counselor, so I'm not in the habit of giving that type of advice. However, counseling may be the very place to start. For many people, the hangover is occurring because they just can't let go and move forward. As a family law attorney in Scottsdale my cases, I have dealt with involving people who I consider to be suffering from divorce hangovers, in most instances, the person with the hangover simply cannot let go and wants the ex-spouse to continue paying the price for what he or she perceives the ex-spouse has done to him or her. Of course, letting go and moving forward is easier said than done. Those who find a way to do this are able to have happier and healthier futures. Those who don't wind up going back to court over and over and over. This results in more misery, more anger, and more legal expenses.
The author in the article referenced above provides some good ideas for recognizing and dealing with anger issues, which I recommend for your review and consideration. I believe the first step in overcoming any divorce hangover is to make a commitment to yourself to allow yourself to heal and move forward. Time heals all wounds if you allow it to do so. Like an alcohol hangover, the best remedy is time. After a while, the sickness, nausea and headaches pass and life is good again. A divorce does not have to result in long-term suffering. Be proactive in allowing yourself to move on as reasonably quickly as you can. Get professional help if necessary, there is no shame in doing so. The result of avoiding a divorce hangover is a healthier relationship with your ex (which really is a must if you have children together) and a healthier relationship with others in the future.

I've got a thing for gadgets, specifically PDAs. I'm not sure what it is but I like the idea of being connected and being able to do my computing in the palm of my hand. It's not all it's cracked up to be though. I've gone from a Palm M100 to a Palm Vx, HP iPaq, Motorola Q9m, Samsung i730 and finally a Blackberry Pearl. My favorites are the Blackberry, the Moto Q and the Palm M100 believe it or not. My Palm's were a much more intuitive and easier to use interface than any of the Microsoft WIndows CE offerings. The Windows Mobile gadgets also tend to lock up and once I combined them with my cell phone they really make a mess of things when they are having memory and lock-up issues and you are trying to use the phone at the same time. Not fun.
I like the blackberry as well. I'm not sure what benefits the bigger Blackberrys have over the Pearl other than more screen real estate though. That's what I miss using it. A bigger screen and a touch screen interface. Eventually if Verizon ever gets the iPhone I may go that route. I like the iPod Touch that I gave the wife for Christmas and as long as I can sync my calendar and contacts with it I would be good to go.

Devin CrouchSubmitted a video on YouTube featuring her rescued dog " Toby" and her child "Carter" and there's a page on Instagram where you canwatch more of the two cuties,This video captures the heartwarming moment Toby the rescue dog protectively cuddles his sick best friend Carter as the adorable pair lay on the sofa watching cartoons.When Carter's mother, Devin Crouch, turns the corner while filming the touching scene, Toby's paw is seen wrapped firmly around the poorly toddler in an obvious display of compassion.As the aptly worded lyrics to a song in the cartoon ring out – 'friends help each other, yes they do' – it seems loving pooch Toby has been taking notes.Since Mrs Crouch, of Indiana, uploaded the moving footage on YouTube it has been viewed almost 100,000 times.
Underneath her post she writes: 'Mom walked in the room and saw Toby the rescue and Carter the toddler cuddling. It's a heartwarmingmoment!'Toby was adopted by Mrs Crouch and her partner Jake – after his previous owner abandoned him outside a local bank.The couple soon had a baby, Carter, and as the boy grew up he and Toby became inseparable.In the footage, the pair can be heard watching popular kids' TV show Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood.The show sees Daniel the tiger invite a new generation of preschoolers into the Neighborhood of Make-Believe every day – sharing adventures with O the Owl and Katerina Kittycat.It seems Toby and Carter are as indiscriminate about their choice of friends as the show's characters.
Carter's mother documents the pair's close bond in a series of online blog posts, which see Toby and Carter asleep in bed together, playing in the garden and even in the bath.
So here's another reason to adopt a rescue dog, because he gives the greatest hugs till now.

Promotional Credit Cards with Deferred Interest Loans Face New Scrutiny Why Should One Consider Refinancing Their Mortgage Now?
Student loan debt, including federal and private loans, totals about $1 trillion now. That is higher than auto loan, credit card and home equity debt combined. In fact, student loan debt is the second-largest form of consumer debt, after home mortgages.
The CFPB's student loan ombudsman draws parallels with mortgage crisis and says student debt is hurting the housing market and the economy.
The housing recovery remains on track. But high levels of student debt threaten to hang over the residential real estate market for many years, acting as a drag on both household formation and higher prices.
At the height of the housing boom, the U.S. was producing 1.4 million additional households every year. That figure plunged to 500,000 in the Great Recession. The number of new households is expanding again but remains stuck at 700,000—half the peak level. One big reason is underemployed new college graduates struggling with student debt and unable to contribute to the economy.

Problem statement :
If I don't specify a "Label" value to the Job, it should build job on any node that is available or be inqueue for the next available node.
How to achieve this?

A: Mark all your nodes with a "default" label, in addition to any specific label.
Check whether a variable has been passed, and if no use the default label.

When Self-doubt creeps in then it is just about time before it begins to erode your self-confidence. One of the most common challenges I do come across with Executives and Entrepreneurs is self-doubt and low confidence in themselves.
Now for a minute, ask yourself this question. Are you guilty of harboring these thoughts within you? Are you comfortable about yourself under your skin? If the answer to any one of them is no, then it time to dive in straight away without any minute to pause.
There is more than enough research out there which does prove that there is a definite link between how confident an individual is and his/her success quotient. I have worked with dozens of Senior Leaders and large business Entrepreneurs who suddenly felt that they were no more attractive, intelligent and not good enough to lead teams and organizations.
The one common reason for all these which was somewhere along their path was that they did plant a seed of self-doubt in their minds and this began to grow more and become stronger by feeding on their own fears and belief systems.
One of the most important step I always tell my own clients and during my Leadership Interventions is that you have to be absolutely honest with yourself. Sometimes, you have to look at yourself in the mirror and answer this question about not being confident and in self-doubt.
If you accept this challenge then, dive right in. If you still try to push this area of concern under the carpet then I would strongly advise you to stop reading this and do what is more important to you.
Are you aware that if you are low in confidence from the inside, you are bound to show that through your posture? A sharp eye can pick you out in a crowd or in a meeting and make this play against you. If you are someone who slouches while standing or sitting then it is time to work on your posture.
There is a deep connection between our physiology and our thought process. You can only turn this around by walking straight, tall and look at people in the eye and smile. Yes, when you smile you are guaranteed to look and appear more confident.
Working on these areas will take a conscious effort, but once this is set in as a pattern then nothing can stop you from being noticed in your company or outside. I have personally done this one change with tens and hundreds of people from all walks of life and the result is nothing but magical.
When was the last time you wore your best dress and felt miserable and low in confidence? Well I am not surprised if the answer is never. The reason is that when you take time to groom yourself up and make an effort to wear the best attire you are more than certain to feel and act better.
You are subconsciously communicating to yourself that you are valuing yourself more by taking care of yourself. This is probably one of the reasons why you always find people in the film fraternity and of high status always dressed up.
They cannot afford to look low in confidence even for a minute in public especially when the stakes are so high. Now you are the lead Actor/Actress of your own life movie. Why should you dress up any less?
I remember working with a Woman CEO of a large Multinational who was very comfortable in her traditional attire. Since she was going through a painful divorce, she began to focus less on her external attire, grooming and began to go to work and also attend board meetings by just looking and dressing up very ordinarily.
She did tell me "Satish I am attending these important meetings the way I am not supposed to go. Something inside me is stopping me from taking the extra effort to groom and dress well. I plan how I need to go but end up just going plain and ordinary looking.
Even though she knew that the business meeting did require a business attire, she passed it on. However before more damage was done to her overall trajection, she did reach out to me and we quickly began to work on her external and internal challenges and within a few weeks she began to get back to her earlier version of dressing smart and took it upon herself to go to work every day well-groomed and in her own words Stunning.
How you dress up does play a big role in your own confidence level. So if you are someone who needs some work in this area then I would highly recommend you to go for some shopping during the weekend. Pick up a few things which you feel good about and yes, always remember not to go overboard.
Most of the people who go through the phase of self-doubt and low confidence begin to get into a shell. Somehow they tend to get withdrawn and disconnect from people who do matter to them. At times they are physically present with their teams, friends or even family but mentally they are disconnected.
So the idea is to put the finger on the pulse and get back on track if you are drifting into a shell. Talking to people outside your circle always does a world of good and helps you get a different perception of the things you are fighting alone.
The list can go on. However what is most important is that the more you tell yourself that you are not good at anything in particular, you are reinforcing your belief system and making it stronger. So if you catch yourself telling yourself any of the above negative self-talk, then immediately replace it with a positive self-talk. The more you do this on a consistent basis the more you will begin to work on building your confidence muscle and eventually move in the right direction of believing in yourself.
This video by Owen Fitzpatrick shares some brilliant insights about the war of voices in our head.
Yes, this does mean that you need to head to a Gym. You can strengthen your bones and muscles only by strength training and none of the other activities will even come close to the effectiveness of this. How do I know this, you may ask? The reason is very simple. There are more than enough research to prove that this is a fact and I can personally vouch for strength training, because I have been working out consistently for the last couple of decades.
By strength training and building your muscles and bone strength, you are doing yourself a favor especially if you are someone like me from the Indian subcontinent. We are plagued with brittle bones and less muscle in our overall body mass index.
This is directly responsible for the quality of our life when we age. You do not want to lie in the bed or move around in a wheelchair right when you are in the fag end of your life, especially after a checkered career. No one wants to, trust me.
Even working out in the gym for 20-30 minutes 4-5 days a week can make a significant improvement in your overall strength index which is directly proportionate to your own confidence level.
Strength training also help you lose your weight drastically because your metabolism will get sky high and the best part is that it will drastically help you improve your posture by strengthening your core and help you stabilize your spine and eventually your posture.
When you do become stronger irrespective of you being a man or a woman I will guarantee you that you will walk out into the real world with more confidence and less of self-doubt. Want to take this challenge with me.Then do step up and sign up for a 2 week strength training activity in a gym with someone to supervise you and then reach out to me for a No obligation call with me.
I will personally coach you to work on your other core areas also which does affect your confidence and self-doubt area. I am ready to step up for you if you can take this one step from your side. Come on you have nothing to lose, everything to gain by taking this challenge.
Working with a professional coach can double or treble your success rate. You can experience this first hand by working with personally with someone who has been doing this as a full time profession from the last one decade.
The fear of public speaking is always the number one fear amongst both men and women. I do come across this so many times in my engagement with very Senior leaders and Entrepreneurs.
Now, this can begin to work against you and eventually spill over to your other areas of your own life. So the best thing to do is to work on this important skill and build on it. Spending even just 10-15 minutes every day by working on this one area will go a long way in helping you work on your own confidence and self-doubt.
As with everything, begin small and then you can look at a TedX talk in the near future. For that to happen you need to face this fear head-on and make it insignificant in your own life. Look for opportunities within your organization or team for small talks. Look for speaking opportunities amongst your friends and family. If you are still petrified of doing this, then video record yourself talking about any particular topic, see and review it.
After doing any of these activities for 15-20 times, you will become better at it. There is no rocket science behind public speaking. Anybody with focus and practice can be good at doing it. Whoever you are seeing right now great at public speaking, remember they also started exactly from where you are planning to begin the journey. So, do not shy away from taking this one action. Step up and walk through this fear.
This article by Glenn Croston Ph.D focusses on why public speaking is feared more than death itself.
If you are looking at someone working with your core team on this aspect, then I am happy to say that I can personally come to your office or do a short(60-75 minutes) intervention through Webex and show your team how to break these self-doubt patterns and make each one of them an effective star performer.

«Chrome Waves» es una canción de la banda de shoegazing británica Ride de su álbum Going Blank Again de 1992. Fue escrita por el guitarrista Andy Bell y se destaca por ser predominantemente acústica a diferencia del resto del material del grupo. Una versión más eléctrica se lanzó junto con el sencillo «Leave Them All Behind».

Popularidad en Latinoamérica: «Un misil en mi placard»
El tema es uno de los más reconocidos de la agrupación en Latinoamérica debido a que su riff fue adaptado por el músico argentino Gustavo Cerati para la versión del tema «Un misil en mi placard» que apareció en la presentación de Soda Stereo en el MTV Unplugged, la que fue editada en el disco Comfort y música para volar de 1996. El uso del sample motivó acusaciones de un supuesto plagio, aunque lo cierto es que Cerati era un seguidor de Ride y los vio en un show.

Ride se separó el mismo año en que la canción de los argentinos fue lanzada al mercado, por lo que no hubo reacciones de los ingleses. La banda supo del uso de su famoso riff más de dos décadas después, cuando visitó Chile en 2019. La impresión fue tanta que Bell decidió dedicar la canción a Cerati durante su presentación en el Teatro Teletón de Santiago.

Joe Coffee's Revolution
5.5″ x 8.5″
Fiction / General
With his days of protest long past, Joe Coffee tells his wife, Jane, one day that he's thinking about running for Congress. She sets his whim in motion and they get his name on the balloe in a rural western Iowa district. "Coffee Joe," as he becomes known, speaks out against prisons and the military and no one takes him seriously at first. But when his campaign begins to resonate with voters, terrified establishment politicians try to stop him. In a dramatic conclusion, Coffee Joe becomes a central figure in a hostage crisis involving disgruntled farmers. In an era of war in the Middle East and a conservative approach to the economy, Joe Coffee's Revolution provides a refreshing alternative perspective.
Mike Palecek, the author of several previous books, grew up in Norfolk, Nebraska. He was a paper boy like Joe Coffee as well as an altar boy and seminarian. He served time in federal prison after he was arrested for trespassing during a protest at Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska. Like Joe Coffee, he also ran for Congress.

Native American art, also called American Indian art, the visual art of the aboriginal inhabitants of the Americas, often called American Indians. For a further discussion of the visual art of the Americas produced in the period after European contact, see Latin American art.
The very use of the word art suggests one of the basic differences between European or European-derived and American Indian concepts. For not only did few American Indian groups allow art to become a major way of life, as in the West, but many Native American languages even lack a term meaning "art" or "artist." If one wished to refer to a beautiful basket or a well-carved sculpture, it was usually necessary to rely upon such terms as "well-done," "effective," or perhaps "powerful" (in the magical sense). And the concept of an artist was largely of a person who was simply better at the job than was another. Generally, artists were accorded special significance only where wealth was a major factor in the culture. The elite of many cultures, whether wealthy in their own right or (more commonly) by having attained a high religious office, supported groups of artists who produced memorial and religious art.
Although American Indian people may not have considered artistic skill in terms of a vocation, the difference between a well-woven basket and a careless piece of work or a particularly well-designed carving and a crudely made example did not go unnoticed. Fine workmanship commanded a premium long before European contact, and with the advent of the monetary system, it was even more highly prized.
The basic role of the American Indian artist is the same as that of the artist in any culture: to arouse an emotional response in his or her audience. In Native American cultures, the artist's ability to communicate successfully depended largely upon the recognition of the force of tradition. The social organization of the various tribes allowed less latitude for experimentation than Western cultures and usually compelled the artist to work in familiar channels. Yet, within this rigid framework of tradition, there was sometimes a surprising degree of freedom of expression. There are recorded instances of individuals having made considerable changes in the art (and the economy) of their tribes. In North America, perhaps the most striking have been the careers of Nampeyó, the famed Hopi potter, and María Martínez and Julián Martínez, of San Ildefonso pueblo. Through sheer individual talent these people achieved a personal triumph by developing a style that not only was copied by other artists but in time also was regarded as "traditional" in that particular village. Although there is no way of knowing how often this happened in the past, there are suggestions that it occurred at Mimbres, among the Haida slate carvers, and quite possibly in some areas of the so-called Mound Builder cultures of the Southeast.
Northeast American Indian moccasins
The origins of most Native American decorative designs cannot be traced accurately today; most of them are lost in antiquity. Many obviously came from natural forms, while others are simple developments of geometric or lineal motifs. Some have become so interwoven with alien concepts—Western, after the advent of the European, for example—that it is impossible to completely unravel their sources. There is evidence, however, that some of the original forms were creations of individual artists and were often the result of a vision quest. To the American Indian the world of the vision quest is mysterious, a place where the soul can leave the body, participate in many strange activities, and see many unusual sights. Since many of the designs seen or creatures encountered during the vision quest are regarded as protective forms or spirit-beings, these would be carefully re-created during waking hours. Non-artists would occasionally describe their dream creatures to a designated artist so that they could be recorded on hide, in wood, or in stone. But since these supernatural visions were extremely personal, they were usually recorded by the individual; hence, they vary tremendously in aesthetic quality.
Because art designs were regarded as personal property, an artist could buy a design or receive it as a gift from its creator, but to appropriate and use it for his or her own purposes was taboo.

Miscues Put Raiders Back in Loss Column vs. Chargers
By NBC Sports Bay Area	• Published October 7, 2018 • Updated on October 7, 2018 at 5:49 pm
CARSON -- The Raiders finally won a game last week. It was a nail biter for sure when the Raiders finally finished strong.
Turns out that game was an individual entity, not something that kick-started a season turnaround.
The encore might've been the Raiders' worst performance to date, and eventually became a 26-10 loss to the Chargers on Sunday at StubHub Center.

[BAY]All Things Silver and Black: Oakland Raiders 2018-2019 Season Highlights
The Raiders proved deficient in every phase, and were flat beat by a good Chargers team.
Here are three quick takeaways from this result:
Blown out by the better team: The Raiders played four close games with only one victory to show for it. They hung tough against all comers, including a Rams team that is a bonafide juggernaut. They blew second-half leads in each one but struggled to finish strong.
That wasn't the case Sunday. The Raiders were blown out by a superior team and couldn't bridge the talent gap clear in most contests.
The Raiders went down 20-3 late in the third quarter, dominated on most fronts by an explosive offense and a defense making do without Joey Bosa.
The season's in peril -- not that expectations were high to begin with -- at 1-4 with a trip to London next week. Things could get worse before they get better, especially if the Raiders keep making similar mistakes from week to week.
Big plays still a big problem: Allowing plays of 20 yards or more have plagued the Raiders all season. They cost the Raiders a win in Denver and again in Miami, and they made last week's Browns showdown close well into overtime.
That has frustrated defensive coordinator Paul Guenther to no end, and he has vowed to fix the problem. One issue: He might not have enough defensive talent to stem the tide.
He definitely doesn't have enough speed on the second level to prevent significant yards after the catch. The Silver and Black gave up three 20-plus plays in the first half alone, with countless chunk plays that didn't quite reach the mark.
The defense can be effective at times, forcing three-and-outs on a regular basis. Lapses have proven costly, and make life hard on the Raiders' offense.
Ill-timed turnovers: The Raiders were down 17 points in the third quarter, but they used a nice length-of-the-field drive to set up an ideal scoring chance. They had a first-and-goal at the 1-yard line -- and chose a play-action pass that was intercepted.
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has thrown three interceptions in the end zone over the first five games. That's as costly as it gets, and his latest red-zone pick put this game to sleep at the start of the fourth quarter.
Carr's throw was ill advised. There's no doubt about that. Lee Smith was the primary target and never opened up, so Carr threw across his body for Derek Carrier, who was covered well. He never saw Chargers linebacker Melvin Ingram, who easily picked off the pass.
Mistakes happen. That one was on Carr. But one has to wonder why Marshawn Lynch doesn't get the football three times from the 1-yard line. The veteran running back was visibly upset after the turnover, faking to throw his helmet after the play.
Carr now has thrown picks in the end zone against the Rams, Dolphins and Chargers, which hurts a Raiders team that can't afford mistakes like that.

DeAndre Hopkins donating game check to slain girl's family
Deepi Sidhu
Texans Insider and Lead Writer
On Saturday, DeAndre Hopkins won't just be playing for chance to advance his AFC South Champion Houston Texans to the Divisional Round. He will also be playing in honor of seven-year-old Jazmine Barnes, killed in a drive-by shooting in Houston.

DeAndre Hopkins "banged up" but still having his best season
Texans ride historic run into the playoffs
Know Your Playoff Foe: Indianapolis Colts
Hopkins will be donating his game check from the Texans AFC Wild Card game against the Indianapolis Colts to help pay for the little girl's funeral costs and finding the killer. Civil rights activist Shaun King has also offered a six-figure reward for any leads to pass along to authorities.
"I felt in my heart, it's only right to give back to those who are down," Hopkins said. "Man, it's a tough situation for that to happen. It's tough. What I can do –that's nothing. That won't bring back a person so you know, I'm not trying to make it all about me or anything like that, but it's the least I could do."
On Sunday morning, an unidentified gunman pulled up to the Barnes family's car and suddenly began firing. The seven-year-old died in the backseat while riding with her mother and three sisters. Despite a widespread manhunt to find the killer, he is still at large.

Michigan's Charles Woodson selected for College Football Hall of Fame Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson will become Michigan's 31st member of the College Football Hall of Fame Check out this story on Freep.com: http://on.freep.com/2m3Vim4
Nick Baumgardner, Detroit Free Press Published 12:11 p.m. ET Jan. 7, 2018 | Updated 2:52 p.m. ET Jan. 7, 2018
Former U-M Heisman Trophy winner Charles Woodson says he helped bring the Jumpman brand to Michigan on Aug. 2, 2016. By Mark Snyder, DFP.

Charles Woodson, arguably the greatest football player in Michigan history, is about to be a member of the College Football Hall of Fame.
Woodson has been selected as a member of the 2018 College Football Hall of Fame class. The 1997 Heisman Trophy winner, now an ESPN NFL analyst, was told the news by the rest of his Sunday NFL Countdown colleagues on Sunday.
The rest of the 2018 class will be announced Monday morning.
More: The challenging path ahead for Jim Harbaugh, Michigan
Woodson will be Michigan's 31st member of the College Football Hall of Fame, the third-most of any school. Desmond Howard (2010) was the last Michigan player to receive the honor. Former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr (2011) was the last coach.
Still the only primarily defensive player to win a Heisman Trophy, Woodson was the star of Michigan's 1997 national championship season, when he sparked the Wolverines at cornerback, receiver and punt returner on their way to a perfect 12-0 record.
Listen to the latest episode of The Michigan Rant, with Nick Baumgardner
A two-time All-American and two-time Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year, Woodson finished his three-year college career with 18 interceptions and a then school-record 30 pass breakups. The Fremont, Ohio native had several highlight moments in 1997, including a 78-yard punt return for a score against Ohio State to help Michigan clinch a perfect regular season and Big Ten championship. He also picked off a pass in the end zone and made a 37-yard reception to set up a score.
In the Rose Bowl against Washington State, Woodson picked off another pass in the end zone and made a then Rose Bowl record four pass breakups to help the Wolverines to a 21-16 win over the Ryan Leaf-led Cougars.

The big moments were always Woodson's specialty at Michigan.
As a freshman in 1995, Woodson picked off two passes in an upset win over No. 2 Ohio State. His one-handed sideline interception at Michigan State in 1997 is still a highlight-reel classic, and it was one of two picks he had in that game.
In a battle of unbeaten teams at Penn State in 1997, Woodson hauled in a 37-yard touchdown pass to spark a dominant 34-8 victory that pushed the Wolverines to No. 1 nationally and officially sent his Heisman campaign to the next level.
He capped it off against Ohio State in the regular-season finale, living up to his billing as a big-game player with his dazzling punt return that continues to serve as one of the most replayed moments in Michigan football history.
He beat out Peyton Manning, Leaf and Randy Moss to win Michigan's third Heisman Trophy that year, joining Howard and Tom Harmon.
His storied career continued in the NFL, where Woodson became the only player in league history to record at least 50 interceptions and 20 sacks in an 18-year career that featured a Super Bowl victory, nine Pro Bowls, four All-Pro selections and an NFL Defensive Player of the Year award.
Ask Nick: Michigan's coaching staff and what the offense needs
The 2018 College Football Hall of Fame class will be inducted on Dec. 4 in New York.
To be eligible for the College Football Hall of Fame, a player must have received first-team All-America honors from an NCAA-recognized body, be 10 years removed from his college career, have played within the past 50 years and be retired from football.
Woodson became eligible for the Hall of Fame in 2017, making him a first-ballot selection.

Football fans, especially the Boca Juniors Argentinean, they are in luck as they will be able to stay in a thematic hotel dedicated to this team. It is the first accommodation in the world that is dedicated to a soccer team and you will find it in Buenos Aires, in the Montserrat neighborhood and more specifically in Calle Tacuarí 243. It was inaugurated last March and is called Boca Hotel.
With a budget of 20 million, the Design Suites hotel chain and the Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott They came together to make the dream of the club and its fans come true: to have a themed hotel in which every corner remembered those colors and that feeling. It is a tower that has 17 floors high, with a distribution of rooms in 7,500 square meters.
Four types of rooms
It has in total 85 rooms, divided into four categories: Classic, Junior, Deluxe and Terrace Suite, which is in the attic and has 100 square meters and jacuzzy both on the terrace and inside. All rooms are mainly decorated in blue and yellow, the Boca Juniors colors, and they have a price per night of between 130 and 700 euros more or less.

"What? The brat is here?" Cyrden blurted out before stopping, putting some strength into his left eye and opening it to see Richard standing in front of him.
Asiris coughed a little, "Lord Richard just saved you."
"He did more," Richard said with a smile and a shake of the head.
"The Book of Darkness has limited power when healing. If you hadn't helped in time, I'm certain the injuries would have repercussions," Asiris explained. He was called the Dark Priest, but his work was certainly more in line with that of a fallen cleric than a true one; this meant his healing capabilities were minimal. Richard himself could bring Cyrden back to full strength, but he had just exhausted his moonforce and had to wait for it to replenish.
Cyrden looked at Richard and grunted, "Whatever, you heard what you heard. Look, this is all that's left of Goldflow Valley, these are all the people."
As the thief struggled to motion to the land before him, all Richard could see was a large swathe of desolate earth with deep interlocking rifts that split it into a number of fragments. Every fragment seemed to throb regularly, as though a blade had cleanly cut up the land below.
The portal and base had been built on one of these islands, with the surroundings being connected by suspended bridges. Most of these rifts weren't too large, only ten metres across which a horse could leap even with rider, but it would be difficult to move on foot. Of course, these rifts were nothing to the giants he had just seen.
Most of the base city was destroyed, the wall blasted into pieces with many of the streets burning. Some of the buildings were still crumbling from the recent damage, one arrow tower slowly sliding down to the ground. The troops immediately set to task clearing the battlefield, moving the bodies that were crushed beyond recognition all into one lump. Looking over them, Richard couldn't even see a thousand living soldiers; this one battle had consumed about a hundred.
He shifted his gaze closer and saw a pair of enormous eyeballs rolling nearby, something that Cyrden noticed as well. The thief chuckled, "I almost lost my life to get those things."
He seemed to speak casually, but Richard could tell that every word hurt. Having seen the events of the battle, he knew the main giant would have dealt much greater damage had it not been blinded.
As Cyrden got to his feet, Asiris stepped forward and bowed, "My Lord, it will take some time to clear the city. Let me bring you to Goldflow Valley, the place we named this plane after."
The eponymous Goldflow Valley was located behind the city, more than a hundred metres wide and certainly kilometres deep. There was one main rift that seemed to stretch on for hundreds of kilometres, with various smaller ones interlocked around it. A thunderous crackle filled the air as currents gushed down some of these small cracks, disappearing into the seemingly bottomless rift.
Compared to this valley, even the giants would seem tiny. Richard bent over to look down, and a sudden gust of wind almost knocked him off his feet. As he stabilised, however, his eyes went wide in shock as he turned to Asiris, "Is that…"
Cyrden jumped into the valley before Asiris could reply, vanishing into the dense clouds. A few moments later, he climbed up the cliff and handed a rock to Richard. This was a piece of cracked black ore that was gushing with mana, and something that Richard would recognise even in his sleep. He gasped audibly and stared at Cyrden, who nodded.
Within this ore was a natural magic crystal, something that was the bedrock of Norland's economy. This single piece of ore could be worth thousands of gold by itself, but Cyrden had found it in only a few minutes.
"Is it an open lode?" Richard asked.
"Only partially. There are stray pieces like this everywhere, but only a small portion of the vein is visible. I don't know how much ore there is, but it should be a lot. However, we'll need manpower to mine it."
Richard inhaled sharply. Even with difficulty mining it, a magic crystal ore was priceless beyond estimation. If stray ore covered the bottom of the valley, then the entire rift could be an enormous vein of resources beyond imagination. It was no wonder this place was named Goldflow Valley!
He looked around once more, unable to find any mining equipment nearby. There wasn't even any rope on the edge of the cliff. This caused him to frown, "Why aren't we mining this?"
Asiris smiled wryly, pointing towards the burning base, "We're being attacked in our own homes, how would we have the strength to mine? Master Gaton had destroyed all the enemies surrounding the valley before he gathered our forces and left for the Rosie Plane, but none of us could have imagined that he would fail to return."
Richard took a deep breath, shaking off the man's image, "And why didn't you tell me even when the situation grew this serious?"
Cyrden's face twitched, but he remained silent and let Asiris continue to speak, "We were too embarrassed to return the plane in a worse situation than we were given it. We were hoping to stabilise the situation before returning it to your hands. In addition, we were obligated to wait and see what would become of the inheritance. You might have been Lord Gaton's favourite child and the oldest, but he had other children and his brother Goliath could lay claim to the inheritance as well."
"That's it?" Richard asked.
"That's it," Asiris answered calmly.
Richard smiled, "I'm not so sure about that second one. I don't think you were looking to see who in the family would inherit control, but to see whether anyone deserved your faith. You wanted a worthy lord to serve."
Cyrden flashed a smile as well, "Worthiness is secondary. The most important thing is whether you were an eyesore or not."
"So? Am I?"
"Heh, I don't like people who look better than me."
"Lord Richard," Asiris chipped in, "The cleaning will be done shortly. Let us return to the city, and I'll brief you in more detail about the plane's situation."
Richard nodded, proceeding towards the command castle with Cyrden and Asiris by his side.
The main gates of the castle were already open, but just as they went in Cyrden brushed up against his side. He suddenly felt his runecrafting pen spring up a little, as though wanting to escape. Without even thinking he stepped forward, Mana Armament and Wanderer's Domain activating together to send him more than ten metres ahead, but just as he came to a stop the pen did manage to fly out of his pocket and lift into the air. If not for his strong perception, he wouldn't even have noticed the thing leaving his side.
Richard turned around abruptly, seeing Cyrden twirling a finger and drawing the pen closer. The gesture clearly displayed impressive control of energy and stealth; even with his blessings, Richard had barely found out. He quickly understood that this was likely a test of sorts, so he immediately unsheathed Moonlight and flashed past the pen itself to swipe the blade towards the thief's nose.
Two sheenless daggers appeared in Cyrden's hands, crossing against each other to block the sword. Richard grunted in surprise and slashed again with greater force, but this attack was deflected as well. Instantly realising that his own power was being used against him, he flicked Moonlight to a side and jumped back while grabbing the pen out of mid-air. He then pointed the blade right at Cyrden, energy swirling around the tip.
Cyrden's smile faded away completely and he crouched down, retreating slowly like a prowling wolf. However, he barely took two steps backwards before the blade was already before his eyes and heading straight for his forehead. The two quickly fell into a more drawn-out battle, neither side gaining the upper hand immediately.
Richard had both hands on his sword, but his movements were simple and direct, every strike a bolt of lightning. Cyrden showed incredible agility as he dodged repeatedly, but he didn't manage to press his advantage of two weapons either. The long blade continued to grow faster as the battle dragged on, forcing the thief to start blocking using both of his weapons, and the soundless battle quickly grew loud and piercing.
Asiris remained by the side, watching calmly. Cyrden was powerful, but with the fight going as it was he would eventually fail to deflect an attack. While it wouldn't affect his abilities in a singular battle much, the thief was also still wounded; his stamina would deplete much faster than Richard's.

The collaboration between QMUL and BAE Systems investigating the use of spatial transformations to create lenses has attracted comment and interest online over recent weeks. For example, comparisons have been made between this work and Kymeta's satellite antennas: "the BAE Systems design is quite different from the Kymeta antenna. BAE Systems claims wide bandwidth for its design, while the Kymeta antennas offer electronically steering the antenna with reduced bandwidth." Of course, a lens-based antenna can still be steerable or switchable, to cover wide fields of view, in a similar way to electronically-steered phased arrays, such as the Kymeta antenna.
In a press release, BAE described the general research involved and highlighted the potential to create a lens that has a physical shape matching the aerodynamic requirements of a wing's leading edge, whilst retaining the electromagetic properties associated with a curved lens of a different shape.
As mentioned above, the operating bandwidth of the lenses created with the nano-composite dielectric materials is relatively broad, whereas metamaterial-based designs are generally narrow band.
" 'The advantage the technology has is not just different shapes but also things like size and miniaturisation,' research leader Dr Sajad Haq from BAE's Advanced Technology Centre told The Engineer.
'In the past you may have had several antennas operating at different frequencies. [With the new technology] you may be able to replace multiple antennas with a single one.' "
The technique can also be applied to body-worn antennas.

Le Charlevoix Building est un gratte-ciel de la ville de Détroit, dans l'État américain du Michigan.

Construit en 1905, il s'agit de l'une des plus anciennes structures de la ville. Ses dimensions demeurent toutefois relativement modestes, le bâtiment s'élevant à , loin derrière nombre de ses homologues plus récents. Conçu à l'origine comme un hôtel de standing (Hotel Charlevoix), il est ensuite converti en résidence (Charlevoix Apartments) puis en bureaux avant d'être finalement désaffecté dans les années 1980.

Bien que dépourvu de toute affectation de nos jours, il demeure un édifice caractéristique de l'architecture monumentale du début du , archétype du style Beaux-Arts. Haut de douze étages, il est l'œuvre de l'architecte William S. Joy et se situe dans le quartier de Foxtown, au 2033 Park Avenue.

Following the tradition of the Lord Jesus Christ, prayer was His life style. He started His ministry by following the leading of the Holy to go in the wilderness to fast for 40 days/nights where He was tempted by the devil, but glory be to God, He defeated the devil. He also end His ministry on the cross in prayer. See: – Luke 23:46 "He said, Father, into thy hands I commend My spirit, and having said thus, He gave up the ghost".
We see the early church in Acts 2:1-4, they were in prayer when the Holy Spirit fell on them in the very morning of the day of Pentecost. Luke 18:1 states "And He spoke a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray and not faint…" 1 Theso 5:17 Paul admonishes "pray without ceasing".
Prayer must be by faith. The Lord said in Mark 11:24 "Therefore, I say unto you, what things soever you desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them and ye shall have them.
James also writes "confess your faults one to may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16.
All the above scriptures enjoins believer to pray – for themselves, family, loved ones, the church for all men and the nation and their rulers – (1 Tim 2:1) by this we commit our God to stand in our behalf and release His power for victory in our lives.
In Lk 11:3-13 and in Matt 6:9-13. The Lord Jesus was specifically asked by His disciples to teach them how to pray as they saw His continually praying publicly and privately on His. Then He showed them how to pray: Lk 11:2-4. When ye pray say, our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth…". This same prayer, called by the church, as the Lord's prayer, in also repeated in Matt 6:6-13.
As much as it is good to recite or repeat scripture, it was a pattern for structuring the way to pray and so as we follow the Lord's pattern for praying we will get the Father's ear and so as we do so by faith, we will have what we ask for.
We therefore consider prayer and the word as the bedrock for all that we do in fulfilling this great commission. We therefore encourage both private + public prayer for all men.
Our ministry originally started as a local church with the aim to follow the command of our Lord Jesus Christ and to live out the great commission with power (Matt 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-18).

The definitions of some of the commonly used terms in CSR jargon, which we consider most accurate. This does not claim to be a complete list but rather a useful tool that may help clarify some of the CSR concepts.
The term "accountability" is widely recognised in the sphere of performance in sustainability. Although there are some translations, such as "rendición de cuentas" or "responsabilidad", neither of these entirely captures the spirit of the original term in English, which in addition refers to the transparency needed by an organisation to address stakeholder engagement. In other words, an organisation's accountability is achieved through the transparency brought by accountability and the recognition of its responsibility over all fundamental aspects of its performance in sustainability (economic, social and environmental)].
Normally this term describes the methods and processes employed by an assurance provider to evaluate an organisation's public disclosures about its performance as well as underlying systems, data and processes against suitable criteria and standards in order to increase the credibility of public disclosure. Assurance includes the communication of the results of the assurance process in an assurance statement.

Stakeholders are those individuals, groups of individuals or organisations that affect and/or could be affected by an organisation's activities, products or services and associated performance.
Note: This does not include all those who may have knowledge of or views about the organisation. Organisations will have many stakeholders, each with distinct types and levels of involvement, and often with diverse and sometimes conflicting interests and concerns.
There are three AA1000 Accountability Principles Standards, one of which is the foundation principle.
The Foundation Principle of Inclusivity is necessary for the achievement of Materiality and Responsiveness. Together the three principles support the realisation of accountability.
Inclusivity is the starting point for determining materiality. The materiality process determines the most relevant and significant issues for an organisation and its stakeholders. Responsiveness is the decisions, actions and performance related to those material issues.
An individual who is qualified to provide assurance services.

Q: Ajax and java servlet data transfer using java script Hello guys I am new to ajax, trying to create a simple basic data transfer between servlet and html page using javascript(don't know jQuery). But that's not working tried reading tutorials but still can't figure out the problem. Can someone tell me where i am doing it wrong.
Html page
index.html

    <button onClick="run()">Click</button>

Servlet : Test.java
package foo;

import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;

public class Test extends HttpServlet {
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException,IOException {
        res.setContentType("text/plain");
        res.getWriter().write("Dynamic");
    }
}

WebServer i am using is tomcat, web.xml
<web-app>
    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>tst</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>foo.Test</servlet-class>
    </servlet>
    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>tst</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/test</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Edit:
What problem I am facing is - when I click on the 'click button' the innerHTML of the paragraph element should change but it is not changing. I tried runnig the servlet from address bar to check for servlet errors it's working it prints "Dynamic " so not a problem with the servlet and Web.xml file.

A: Write 'xmlhttp.send(null)' after 'onreadystatechange' function. Hopefully it should work.
Moreover, you don't need to pass 'null' in send.
Following code works for me perfectly file. Another change I made is to add '.' period in URL before '/' in open(). And I called the send() after declaring the function for onreadystatechange.

Mitchell Minor Sports wants you!
Have you thought about volunteering in your community? Here's your chance! Mitchell Minor Sports is looking for new directors and new executive members in the positions of secretary and treasurer.
Mitchell Minor Sports is a non-profit, volunteer-based organization dedicated to the youth within West Perth. Hockey, ringette, fastball, baseball and soccer are under the Mitchell Minor Sports umbrella and have their own elected executives and directors with their own set of rules and/or constitution.
Some of the goals of Mitchell Minor Sports is to ensure all sports operate with fair play, maintain their constitution (guidelines), operate within budget and provide support and guidance if needed. MMS looks after the bookkeeping/financials, photography services, and team sponsorships for all five sporting members and organizes the annual Stephen Elliott memorial awards banquet.
Trish McNaughton has been the dedicated secretary for more than 10 years – she takes minutes, keeps things organized, ensures MMS follows the constitution and by-laws, signs cheques and is the main (some years only!) person that organizes the annual Athlete of the Year banquet.
After many years with Mitchell Minor Hockey, Vicki Smith decided to take on the position of treasurer within Mitchell Minor Sports. She looks after all of the deposits, writes all of the cheques, and keeps track of the finances for the five sports and council. This is the only paid position within the organization at $200/month.
"We are sad to see Trish and Vicki move on, but are thankful for their many years of service for the youth in our community," said President Dean Smith.
If you're interested in joining Mitchell Minor Sports but don't want to step into such big shoes right away, come on out and join in the role as a director! This involves attending nine meetings a year and staying informed of activities within Mitchell Minor Sports. Directors can join at any time, and the positions of secretary and treasurer will be voted on at the annual general meeting at the end of April.


UPDATE: Georgia NAACP President Francys Johnson said the organization has received unconfirmed reports of similar problems in counties including DeKalb, Bulloch, Chatham, Dodge, Effingham and Macon-Bibb. He called Thursday for the state to post advisory notices next to voting machines encouraging voters to double-check their choices to make sure they had been properly recorded, as the NAACP in North Carolina have also requested.

ORIGINAL STORY: A voting machine in Bryan County that appeared to be "flipping" some Georgia voters' picks for president has been removed from service, after The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported the problem to state elections officials.
A voter who experienced a problem while early voting contacted the AJC, saying it took three tries Tuesday on a machine at the county's administration complex in Richmond Hill before it correctly recorded his choice of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
He said on the first two tries, he initially selected Clinton but the touchscreen on the machine then changed to show his selection as Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump — which he canceled before trying again. He said his wife had a similar experience on the same machine.
The voter requested that the AJC not publish his name.
The Georgia Secretary of State's Office has opened an investigation into what state officials said was isolated incident.
Merle King, executive director of the state's Center for Election Systems at Kennesaw State University, said it seemed likely that the issue was related to the machine's calibration.
Georgia, since 2002, has used what in the industry are called "direct-recording electronic" voting machines, or DREs, known by voters for their touch screens. To accurately collect a voter's intent, the touch screen must be tilted toward the voter at approximately a 45-degree angle. If it is improperly calibrated, King said, it will mark the voter's choice either above or below the intended target area.
While use of the machine has been stopped, King said all votes already cast will be tabulated after Election Day polls close Nov. 8.
Many of the more than 27,000 voting machines in Georgia are at least 13 years old, and aging machines are an issue for states across the country. The state, however, regularly tests the machines, and officials said the system was ready for the election this year.
Early voting in Georgia began Oct. 17 and runs through Nov. 4. Turnout is running about 4.5 percent ahead of 2012 for the same time period during the last presidential election four years ago.
Election 2016: What issues are on the ballot in Georgia?


In response to Saudi Arabia's biggest-ever war game, in early May 2014 Iran's revolutionary guard hosted its biggest-ever arms bazaar. The highlight of the show was a private presentation for supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei featuring Tehran's copies of the U.S. RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone that Iran captured near the border with Afghanistan in late 2011.
The presentation revealed many of the secrets of the wing-shaped spy drone—and also recounted Iran's methods for capturing the robot … and reverse-engineering it.
At the presentation for Khamenei, Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the head of Islamic Republic Guard Corps Air Force, announced that an Iranian-made 1:7 scale model of the Sentinel has already flew—and that a full-size copy would perform its first test flight in four months. That is, no later than September.
Iranians first encountered the Sentinel in the autumn of 2007, west of Isfahan, according to the presentation.
Iranian fighters scrambled to intercept the mysterious object. Isfahan is the main base for Iran's American-made F-14s, and also boasts the country's first counter-stealth radar, the Chinese JY-14.
The briefing for Khamenei included what appeared to be military electro-optical footage of an RQ-170 in flight. The footage purportedly dated back to 2009, and seems to prove that Tehran was capable of tracking the Sentinels two years before it captured one.
The RQ-170s flew from NATO's Kandahar airfield in southern Afghanistan starting no later than 2007, and from the United Arab Emirates in 2010.
Tehran's engineers determined that the Sentinels plug into the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System network to maintain live coverage across the world. TDRSS is not new—its first spacecraft launched in 1983. It's unclear why the RQ-170s rely on such an aged network.
Hajizadeh claimed that the IRGC-AF was able to jam the connection between an RQ-170 and the satellite network in December 2011 and then convince the drone that a dirt airstrip in Iran was actually the runway at Kandahar airfield. The drone landed hard, breaking one of its main landing gear.
Hajizadeh added that the robot's optical package survived intact, but this seems unlikely considering the obvious delicacy of such hardware, which needs tens of hours of precise calibration to function in even the most benign conditions.
The general didn't say anything about the advanced electronically-scanned array ground-mapping radar that the Sentinel apparently carries next to its optical sensors.
In the hours after the forced landing, the biggest danger to Tehran's agents was an American air strike. After capturing a small U.S. Scan Eagle drone in 2004, Iranians learned that American unmanned vehicles have an independent emergency location system which responds to search signals with a radio beacon, potentially providing precise coordinates for a rapid bombing raid to destroy a crashed robot.
The Iranians came up with a simple solution. Immediately after the crash landing, they dismantled the drone into three parts—two wing sections and one main body.
In the Sentinel, each wing root contains a set of hard drives, computers and advanced processors. America would have had to destroy all three segments quickly in order to keep the drone out of Iranian hands—a prospect that apparently proved impossible.
Separate trailers moved the three parts to different field bases where IRGC-AF Mi-17 helicopters awaited, having been sent there under the cover of counter-insurgency operations. The copters transferred the drone segments as sling-loads to an IRGC-AF base near Tehran.
There, engineers disassembled and studied the secretive Sentinel. The first interesting thing they learned was that the robot's turbofan engine was adapted to use cold fuel. Cold fuels burn at a relatively low temperature, reducing an aircraft's heat signature and making it very hard to detect with electro-optical sensors.
Hard, but clearly not impossible.
Another interesting fact is the RQ-170's high level of compartmentalization in its electronics and software. The Sentinel runs a customized VX Works operating system with four separate main computers handling flight control, navigation, sensors and data-links.
Hajizadeh said the Sentinel has two separate hard drives, both encrypted. After deciphering the hard drives, the IRGC-AF was able to access the data from 13 combat missions over Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran. An RQ-170 reportedly flew overhead during the U.S. Navy SEAL raid that killed Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan in May 2011.
At the end of the presentation, Hajizadeh said that Iran's 1:7-scale copy of the drone has already flown, while half-scale and full-scale models would fly this year. The general also showed footage of a copy of the RQ-170 that for some reason had been painted black.
There are reasons to doubt Iran's Sentinel clones will be as good as the American originals.
For one, the full-scale Sentinel clone at the arms expo exhibited a small circular shape just inside the air intake—probably its turbojet engine. The first lesson in stealth design is that the engine should not be directly exposed to radar detection. A stealthy air intake should be s-shaped to obscure the engine from direct view.
To be clear, there is some photographic evidence that the original U.S. RQ-170 design lacks the s-shaped inlet. But we know for sure that the Iranian drone copies omit this key feature. Given the position and visibility of their engines, even if the Iranian Sentinels fly on the schedule, they probably won't be truly stealthy.
