Just whom are you calling 'chickensh*t', Mr. President?
Simon Wiesenthal Center founder and director Rabbi Marvin Hier is demanding that President Hussein Obama 'name, apologize for and repudiate,' the anonymous official who called Prime Minister Netanyahu 'chickenshi*t.' This is from the first link.
In a telephone call with The Algemeiner from his Los Angeles office, an incensed Rabbi Hier declared: "It is rather ironic that a senior American official is prepared to curse his friends, yet when it comes to the mortal enemies of the United States – as the Iranians discovered during the recent nuclear negotiation – praise is heaped on them."
Goldberg's piece extensively quoted an anonymous "senior Obama administration official" who showered Netanyahu with invective, saying, "The thing about Bibi is, he's a chickenshit."
Goldberg then observed: "Over the years, Obama administration officials have described Netanyahu to me as recalcitrant, myopic, reactionary, obtuse, blustering, pompous, and 'Aspergery.' (These are verbatim descriptions; I keep a running list.)"
The word "Aspergery" is a derogatory term for individuals with Asperger Syndrome, a form of autism that affects the part of the brain that processes emotions.
The same official is quoted as saying: "The good thing about Netanyahu is that he's scared to launch wars. The bad thing about him is that he won't do anything to reach an accommodation with the Palestinians or with the Sunni Arab states. The only thing he's interested in is protecting himself from political defeat."
Another senior official, Goldberg wrote, "agreed that Netanyahu is a 'chickenshit' on matters related to the comatose peace process, but added that he's also a 'coward' on the issue of Iran's nuclear threat."
Commenting on the remarks of this second official, Hier asserted: "He said Netanyahu is a coward for not taking pre-emptive action against Iran, but I suppose this anonymous official who is hiding behind his desk is very brave."
Asked whether he thought Obama should fire the officials who made these comments, Hier said "that's up to the president." However, he added, "a senior American official who doesn't name himself and then hurls curse words at one of our strongest allies should be repudiated by the president. President Obama needs to make it clear that these officials don't speak for him.
Most of all, an apology is in order: That is not the way a senior American official should speak to the Prime Minister of Israel, that is not the way to conduct foreign policy."
But what if the 'senior official' is Obama himself? Could he repudiate himself? (He wouldn't - nor would he apologize or name himself because Obama is as yellow-bellied as they come, so the second question is almost beside the point). Goldberg is known to be close to Obama, and to allow himself to be used as a mouthpiece when Obama wants to get something out there. It's definitely not beyond Obama to make that kind of comment and to use Goldberg to spread the word.
In the meantime, Jewish Home party leader Naftali Bennett has rushed to Netanyahu's defense.
"The United States administration is planning to throw Israel under the bus," Jewish Home chairman Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday night, responding to harsh words against Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu which were attributed to senior officials in the Obama administration.
"Israel is stronger than all those who curse it," said Bennett, after Jeffrey Goldberg of The Atlantic quoted officials in Washington as having described Netanyahu as "chickens**t", among other things.
"The prime minister is not a private individual, but the leader of the Jewish State and the Jewish world as a whole. Serious curses such as these against the Israeli Prime Minister are harmful to millions of citizens of Israel and Jews worldwide," added Bennett.
"Neither the leader of Syria, who has slaughtered 150,000 of his citizens, nor the leader of Saudi Arabia, who stones women and gays, have been called 'chickens**t. If what is written is true, then the current administration intends to throw Israel under the wheels of the bus," he said.
"Instead of attacking Israel and forcing suicide conditions upon it, it should be strengthened. I call upon the U.S. administration to renounce these abusive remarks and reject them outright," he concluded.
Fat chance. I honestly believe that comment was made by Obama himself. In fact, the second 'anonymous official' who agreed is likely John Kerry. Anyone want to argue with me? Anyone looking at the picture above have any doubts about who is 'chickensh*t' and who is not?
UPDATE 8:44 AM
Now that I think about it, one of the officials is likely Martin Indyk, who is known for blaming Israel and for his foul mouth.

Mazda's new straight-six is a direct competitor to the BMW B58
The automotive world is dangerously short on straight-six engines. At the moment, BMW is really the last bastion of hope for the straight-six, Mercedes is the only other manufacturer of these engines, and even that will be short-lived. However, we all have to thank the car gods for Mazda releasing its own straight-six engine. Not only does it bring such an engine, it also brings one that can compete with BMW's brilliant B58.
Mazda's The new engine will be a 3.3-liter turbocharged inline-six that will produce 340 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque in its first application, the upcoming CX-90. Sound familiar? That's because these are essentially the specs of many of BMW's B58-powered cars, give or take a few ponies and lb-ft depending on the model. In fact, it's actually more horsepower and torque than you'll get in the B58-powered X5 and X6. Like many current B58 iterations, Mazda's new engine will be a 48-volt mild hybrid.
There's no word yet on the choice of gearbox as the CX-90 will be officially unveiled on January 31st, but it's likely to be some sort of ZF automatic gearbox. Most rear wheel drive cars in the world (which is now the CX-90) use ZF cars, so that would be my guess. However, nothing is official yet.
According to Mazda, the new engine will give the CX-90 a "thrilling driving experience" and "a rewarding exhaust note". I certainly don't doubt that, as straight-sixes are nice engines. It will be interesting to see whether Mazda's new engine will have the refinement or high-calibre exhaust note of BMW's B58. The latter is wonderful to use and great to listen to. So let's hope Mazda can do the same.
It will be interesting to see if Mazda uses the straight-six on different cars, such as a new Mazda 6. That would be an incredible car, one that offers a BMW-like combination of rear-wheel drive and straight-six, only at a lower cost.
Anyway, turns out Mazda should be applauded even for doing something like this. At a time when most automakers are phasing out new engine development in favor of electrification, Mazda isn't just spending money to make a new engine, it's using an aging (albeit popular) configuration.

In my work as an artist, I explore views on life, death and rebirth using archetypes that have been around since prehistory. In the nordic regions of the world, one of the unifying aspects they all share is the reverence of the bear. Indigenous societies in Northern Eurasia and in Northern America share the belief that the bear is a mediator between worlds, and attribute to them supernatural qualities. Because of bears ability to hibernate, disappearing in the fall and reappearing in the spring, they have become an universal symbol for resurrection and renewal.
My work is highly influenced by early Christian icons, Mughal miniatures and textbook science diagrams. All of these influences lend to my work being highly detailed, precise and intricate. I want to create a sense of quiet spiritual and meditative contemplation, to force the viewer to get close and stay, becoming lost in all of the details. My color pallet is based in nature, but increased in saturation, creating a sense of dreamlike or higher conscious state.
Using gouache, I paint beautiful realistically rendered bears, with openings on their sides. Inside of the bears I paint honey bees, for just as the bear has been used as a symbol for rebirth for millennia, so have bees been used as a symbol for the eternal and the divine. In the Aegean and in the Ancient Near East, bees were also thought to be a holy insect that was the bridge from the natural world to the underworld, just as bears were thought to be in arctic regions. By placing honey bees within the bears, I illustrate the eternal forces that exists within the temporary body.

Hotel and restaurant chain Whitbread is to open one of its Premier Inn hotels in Greenwich. The 194 room facility with integrated restaurant is scheduled to be completed in time for the 2012 Olympics. Another new hotel in Aldgate will take the company's London rooms total to 8,500.
"This is bright news from Whitbread in increasingly gloomy economic times. We have disciplined targets for growth. These investments demonstrate that we are well on our way to delivering them. For us, it's more a case of opportunity bites than credit crunch.

For the initial posting to our self styled Greenwich Magazine, I thought I would take a look at the blogosphere and see what existing sites there are covering the goings on in Greenwich.
The Greenwich Phantom keeps her identity secret but writes a popular Greenwich blog with a wide assortment of news, events and seems to take a special interest in what she describes as "mostly accurate history". Frequently updated and always worth a look.
Darryl's 853 blog - with 853 being a nod to the old Greenwich dialling prefix - is also a must read and regularly updated with topical posts, including the odd (constructive) moan about Greenwich Council and Greenwich Time.
By the way, I've found that if you mention Greenwich Time, someone called "Jim" pops up to defend it as the best thing since sliced bread. Hi Jim!
Greenwich Council used to get a fair amount of close scrutiny from Greenwich Watch but they announced a break from posting in July 2008. This political blog perhaps had its biggest moment when it led the way on the story relating to the controversial AEG bid to build a Las Vegas style casino on the Greenwich Peninsula.
Save Greenwich Park is a multi authored blog primarily concerned with the plans to host 2012's equestrian events in Greenwich Park.
The Greenwich Gazette is another useful Greenwich Blog which is being regularly updated with events and stuff that's happening in Greenwich.

Premiership football team Charlton Athletic are organising an afternoon of fun and five a side football in Greenwich Park on Friday. As well as footie action, there will be inflatables to play on, exciting competitions and free goodie bags. The event is being delivered in association with Greenwich Council. No booking is required, just turn up between 3-7pm.
Will Greenwich Park Be Shut For 10 Months?
The choice of Greenwich Park as venue for equestrian events at the 2012 Olympics continues to cause concern. Contract Journal has reported that large swathes of the park could be closed for up to 10 months in order to prepare for the Olympic events. Some historic trees may face pruning back also.
Many local residents will obviously be asking the question: is the loss of access to the park and possible damage a worthwhile cost to pay in order to host these events, or should they be held at a venue already capable of holding them?
Poll: Do you think Greenwich Park should be used an an Olympic venue?
The future of the famous Cutty Sark has been secured after shipping magnate Sammy Ofer stepped forward, providing £3.3 million in funds. This donation means that the Cutty Sark Restoration Project has met its fund raising total allowing it to complete the works, which thrown badly off track by last year's fire.
The fantastic domation follows soon after the annoucement of a £20 million donation by Mr Ofer made towards the National Maritime Museum.

Emily Skye is one of the few Instagram fitness stars who actually keeps it real and makes you feel good about your body, no matter where you are in your fitness journey. She's shared photos of her stretch marks, food babies, cellulite, and unflattering angles, all the while reminding us that bodies are amazing for what they can do, not how they look. And Emily has only gotten more inspiring (and endearing) since she announced her pregnancy, by sharing photos of how her body has changed throughout the whole growing-a-human thing.
When I first had Mia I was obviously over the moon... but something I haven't shared with you all is I suffered badly with the baby blues. I'd previously heard about the "baby blues" but I never understood it. I couldn't ever imagine feeling down after having Mia. - Well it happened to me! A few days after having her I started feeling really depressed, I hadn't slept in days and my hormones would have been all over the place when it hit me. Your body goes through SO much having a baby, and while most of the changes are physical and obvious, there are a lot of things that aren't so obvious like your hormones and emotions. . I spent at least 10 days feeling really sad and I cried constantly for no reason! I couldn't understand how I was so blessed and happy to have my precious Mia and yet I felt soooo miserable. . Luckily those feelings passed and I started feeling more normal. - My hormones were balancing, I managed to get some sleep and what really we helped me was moving my body - I started some light workouts (mainly walking - as I've previously posted about) and I felt so much better instantly. It's amazing how good you feel after moving your body and getting the blood flowing. I already feel like a new person! The natural high you get is the best - I hadn't had that in about 4 months and oh how I'd missed that feeling! . This is the main reason I choose the lifestyle I have - it makes me feel so good and no matter what I'm going through at the time I'm able to deal with it so much better when I'm exercising! That's what made me want to create my FIT Programs so other people could feel great too. ☺ If you have been putting off getting fit please just do it - you won't regret It! It will honestly be one of the best things you'll ever do for yourself (and your loved ones!)  . Yes starting is hard, yes you're going to feel uncomfortable, yes it's going to take commitment and time and HELL YES it WILL be totally worth it!  . . ✨ Trial my new FIT Program for 7 days for FREE! - Link in my profile!  . . @emilyskyefitness @emilyskye_ig . .
Now that she's given birth to baby Mia, Emily is addressing the common misconception that if you're super-fit before and during pregnancy, your body will just "bounce back" to how it was pre-baby. That's why Emily is all about sharing the reality of her post-baby body.
In her most recent post, she shared three side-by-side images, revealing how she looked before becoming pregnant, then at nine months, then one month postpartum. Though she's not as lean or toned as she is in the first pic, she says in the caption that she loves her body even more now than she did before. Emily keeps things positive; instead of calling out perceived flaws in the postpartum pic, she excitedly shares how amazing the human body is, and how crazy it is to see how much hers has changed within one year.
So much has changed in only a year!  I loved my body before I got pregnant but I love it even more now!  I think it's so crazy how big my belly was at the end of my pregnancy! . Isn't the human body incredible!! What we're capable of absolutely blows my mind. My body isn't just supporting my own life but it grew a human - and still is! I'm so proud of what my body has done and continues to do for my precious daughter. Mothers are absolutely amazing and we should all be so proud of ourselves! Being a mother isn't easy in many ways which I'm now starting to experience and the last thing I'm going to do is pressure myself to "bounce back" quickly or beat myself up because my body hasn't returned to my pre-baby condition. It's totally unrealistic for me to expect to "bounce back" from having my beautiful big belly to a flat and lean tummy in a short amount of time. I choose to celebrate my body and how incredible it is in any condition, shape (or size) and I choose to focus on being my best mentally and physically for my daughter Mia - and my priority definitely isn't looking a certain way. . I just want to get fit and healthy again and I know that will take time, consistency and patience and it's important for me to be realistic about my goals.  . I can't wait to start my own FIT program after I get clearance from my Doc next week! Who's joining me?  Lets do this together!  . ✨ Trial my new FIT Program for FREE for 7 days - Link in my profile or go to: www.emilyskyefit.com ✨ . . @emilyskye_ig . .
"Being a mother isn't easy in many ways which I'm now starting to experience," Emily says in the caption, "and the last thing I'm going to do is pressure myself to 'bounce back' quickly or beat myself up because my body hasn't returned to my pre-baby condition."
Emily continues to explain that instead of being hard on herself, she's choosing to celebrate her body, no matter its size or shape. While she's still eager to work out, it's not about getting back to a past version of her body.
"I choose to focus on being my best mentally and physically for my daughter Mia," she says. "And my priority definitely isn't looking a certain way."
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!  . 2017 has been the best year yet! I accomplished many of my career goals, but the highlight was getting to meet this little munchkin of course! I spent most of the year growing her and it's the best having her in my arms finally! 櫓 Mia, you're the most precious gift I could ever ask for. I'm so blessed!  . I wish you all the best for 2018 everyone! Stay safe! . Love Em  . .
Emily says she'll be starting her FIT workout program as soon as she gets her doctor's clearance next week.
"I just want to get fit and healthy again and I know that will take time, consistency and patience and it's important for me to be realistic about my goals."
Physically recovering after going through the trauma of birth takes time, and sometimes, women's bodies don't ever return to their exact pre-baby state. But if a fitness star can let go of the unrealistic idea of bouncing back, and set sustainable, body-positive goals, that's an empowering message for all moms.
We can't wait to follow along with Emily as she starts working out again; there's no doubt her posts will share all the nitty-gritty details of going back to the gym after baby. That realness is inspiring!

Q: If higher homotopy groups are trivial, then the fundamental group is a complete invariant? Let $X$ and $Y$ be two n-manifolds all of whose higher homotopy groups are trivial, and the first homotopy groups are isomorphic (but the existence of a mapping inducing an isomorphism is not assumed). Is it true that $X$ and $Y$ are homotopy equivalent?
It seems to me I read somewhere about "the triviality of higher homotopy groups makes the fundamental group a complete invariant", but I can't remember where.

A: Sorry, this was a completely classic fact (see for example http://www.map.mpim-bonn.mpg.de/Aspherical_manifolds). Should I accept this answer or delete the question?

CCR explains ruling in the Coman-Hamilton case: Gay relationships fall under the concepts of "private life", "family life"
LAW & CRIMESOCIALSOCIETY & PEOPLE
By Romania Journal	 Last updated Sep 28, 2018
The relationship of a same sex pair falls under the concepts of "private life" and "family life", the same as in the case of a heterosexual couple, reads the Romanian Constitutional Court's reasoning of the ruling it pronounced in the Coman-Hamilton two months ago.
On July 18, the Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) admitted the appeal related to the constitutional challenge in the Civil Code in the Coman-Hamilton gay marriage case, ruling that the same sex spouses have the right for free movement and right to reside in Romania.
"Enforcing what the European court had ruled in interpreting the European norms, the Constitutional Court acknowledges that the relationship a same sex couple has falls under the concepts of <private life> and "family life>, similar to a relation established in a heterosexual couple, a fact which determined the incidence of the protection of the fundamental right for private life and family life, as guaranteed by article 7 in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, by article 8 in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and by article 26 in the Romanian Constitution.
By enjoying the right to private and family life, the same sex people who form a stable couple, have the right to express their personality inside these relations and to benefit, in time and by the means stipulated by the law, of a legal and court acknowledgement of the corresponding rights and duties," reads the CCR reasoning.
"Oops! Referendum! Checkmate from CCR! Historical ruling of CCR-literally! CCR says the same sex couple falls under the concept of family life and has the right to express and be legally recognized!", reacted the president of the National Council for Combating Discrimination, Csaba Asztalos.
Previously on June 5, the European Court of Justice had ruled that "the term 'spouse' within the meaning of the provisions of EU law on freedom of residence for EU citizens and their family members includes spouses of the same sex." The ECJ argued that "although the Member States have the freedom whether or not to authorise marriage between persons of the same sex, they may not obstruct the freedom of residence of an EU citizen by refusing to grant his same-sex spouse, a national of a country that is not an EU Member State, a derived right of residence in their territory."
Adrian Coman, having both Romanian and American citizenship, married an American citizen, Robert Hamilton in Brussles in 2010, after they have lived together for four years before marriage. The two have sued the Romanian state, after they had been denied the acknowledgment of their marriage officiated in Belgium and the right for residence in Romania.
In December 2012, Coman and his husband contacted the Romanian authorities to request information on the procedure and conditions under which Mr Hamilton, in his capacity as a member of Coman's family, could obtain the right to reside lawfully in Romania for more than three months. That request was based on the directive on the exercise of freedom of movement, which allows the spouse of an EU citizen who has exercised that freedom to join his husband in the Member State in which the husband is living.
In response to that request, the Romanian authorities informed Coman and Hamilton that the latter only had a right of residence for three months, on the ground, in particular, that he could not be classified in Romania as a 'spouse' of an EU citizen as that Member State does not recognise marriage between persons of the same sex ('homosexual marriage').
The two therefore brought an action before the Romanian courts seeking a declaration of discrimination on the ground of sexual orientation as regards the exercise of the right of freedom of movement within the EU. Asked to rule on an objection of unconstitutionality, raised in those proceedings, the Constitutional Court of Romania has asked the Court of Justice whether Hamilton may be regarded as the 'spouse' of an EU citizen who has exercised his right to freedom of movement, and must therefore be granted a permanent right of residence in Romania.

MillerCoors, owner of the Miller Light and Coors Light brands, is suing fellow beer conglomerate Anheuser-Busch, over its Super Bowl commercials.
What began as a marketing battle on Super Bowl Sunday between beer giants has turned litigious.
MillerCoors, owner of the Miller Light and Coors Light brands, is suing fellow beer conglomerate Anheuser-Busch, brewer of Budweiser, Bud Light and Busch Light.
The lawsuit filed Thursday in Wisconsin accuses Anheuser-Busch of launching a "false and misleading advertising campaign targeting Miller Lite and Coors Light in order to deceive beer consumers into believing that there is corn syrup and high-fructose corn syrup in Miller Lite and Coors Light to increase sales of Bud Light."
The brewer now is asking a federal court to order Anheuser-Busch not only to halt its ads but to launch a new campaign "to correct the false and misleading impressions" created by the original and ongoing effort.
Citing the series of television commercials, digital advertising spots and responses received on social media platforms, the lawsuit also asks for compensation for damages.
But Anheuser-Busch isn't backing down.
In a statement Thursday, the company said the Bud Light campaign "is truthful and intended to point out a key difference from Miller Lite and Coors Light. Those beers are brewed with corn syrup; Bud Light is not."
"MillerCoors has admitted to using corn syrup on its website, in social media, in a full page ad thanking Bud Light following the Super Bowl, and even in the lawsuit itself," Anheuser-Busch said. "MillerCoors' lawsuit is baseless and will not deter Bud Light from providing consumers with the transparency they demand. We stand behind the Bud Light transparency campaign and have no plans to change the advertising."
The lawsuit is another way of fighting this battle, Beer Marketer's Insights Executive Editor Eric Shepard said.
"Competition has always been fierce in the U.S. beer industry, but it has usually not played out in federal courts," Shepard said. "For MillerCoors, it's a response and it's an escalated response."

MVLA District Press Release: LAHS Announces New Assistant Principal
Suzanne Woolfolk has been recommended to the Board of Education as the new assistant principal at Los Altos High School (LAHS). Starting in July, Suzanne will replace Cristy Dawson, who has served in that position for the past thirteen years.
Mrs. Woolfolk completed undergraduate and graduate work at Stanford University, double-majoring with Distinction and as a member of Stanford's Cap & Gown Honor Society. As a teacher, she taught Spanish, ELD, and advised a nationally-ranked yearbook at Hillsdale High School, then continued on to act as Assistant Principal for seven years at Burlingame and San Mateo High Schools. Most recently, she was recognized by San Mateo County School Board as a 2014 Kent Award Winner for her efforts in creating Family Literacy Night, weekly events to encourage a love of reading in elementary-aged students.
Colleagues from her previous high schools described her as follows, "Although she demands that students meet high standards, she works with students in a caring and supportive way that ensures that they will have a great deal of pride in their accomplishments." She was also described as "a pleasure to work with, a great communicator and collaborator" and as one who "holds an unwavering vision of holding all students to high academic and behavior standards and providing the necessary support for students to reach those high standards".
"I am honored to join LAHS and to be accepted into such a talented and admirable professional community. I am eager to learn from current leadership, and to also bring my experiences working with students and instructional programs to benefit our school," Mrs. Woolfolk said.
Principal Wynne Satterwhite stated, "I am pleased to have Suzanne join the LAHS Administrative team next year and am looking forward to working with her. She brings with her a wide range of experience from her previous district not only in her administrative job responsibilities but also in some of the innovative work that she has done both in the classroom and with students and their families. When I first met Suzanne, it was clear that she is passionate about students and their academic and personal success. When she talks about her involvement with students you can feel her energy and excitement. I believe that she will make a great addition to Los Altos High School! While I know that she will be missed at San Mateo High School, we are excited and eager to welcome her to LAHS!"
Cristy Dawson is retiring after thirty-nine years in education. Principal Wynne Satterwhite detailed, "Cristy joined the district in 1996 and the Mountain View Los Altos High School District has never been the same. She worked at both Alta Vista and Moffett High Schools focusing on helping students earn their high school diplomas in a non-traditional setting and then found her home at Los Altos. She has worn many different hats while working at LAHS but the foundation that she has built her successful educational career on is STUDENTS FIRST. Cristy's energy and passion when it comes to kids is immeasurable. She has supported and developed programs and activities in her role as counselor and assistant principal over the last 14 years that have supported all students. It would be hard to guess what activities she has enjoyed the most over the years but I believe that the four that have left the biggest impact at Los Altos would be Camp Diversity (formally known as Camp Everytown), the Opportunity class, Student Recognition Lunches and Dodge Ball; activities that are as varied as the lady herself.
To give you a sense of the impact that Cristy has had at LAHS, at our Diversity Assemble last month, not only did the students dance and perform to honor Cristy's work but so did about a third of the staff. At this assembly Cristy was awarded the "Tireless Teacher" award and this was what was said about her:
This year's "Tireless Teacher Award" goes to a long overdue recipient; one who leaves behind a legacy of fun activities, memorable Homecomings, proactive support of all students but specifically our At Risk population and a commitment to the academic and emotional development of students. One of this teacher's gifts is that she that she has left us a legacy of traditions that will be passed down due to her tireless work, her focus on students and staff and her attitude of having fun.
Ms. Dawson is always here to help students and staff to try new ideas, create new activities and build a strong sense of support and community. She has always gone above and beyond for our students, our staff and our school community. All of us would like to say THANK YOU! Thank you for the past fourteen years of dedicated and tireless service. You will be missed!"

Paige Holder's claim to sports-fan fame had been the two fan of the game awards he had won at Scott Stadium.
"I am the only one to have won this honor more than once," said Holder, a Waynesboro native and 2006 graduate of the University of Virginia – and finalist in the 2007 Aaron's Superfan contest.
Fans of five ACC and five SEC schools are in the pool of finalists. The winner gets everlasting fame and glory – and a featured appearance on "Football Saturdays in the South" next year.
Voting is being conducted in the contest online at www.aaronssuperfan.com through Sunday.
Holder is listed on the vote tally as Steven Holder. He's the guy in the tuxedo shirt, bow tie, curly orange-and-blue hair and V-with-sabres tophat.
He entered the contest after seeing an ad for it on a TV broadcast of ACC football. He found out that he had been named a weekly winner of the contest from friends who saw his name appear on the TV screen during a broadcast of a UVa. game.
Holder has been a Virginia fan for as long as he can remember.
"My granddad is the one who got me interested in UVa. sports. He's always been a true UVa. fan. I've been watching them ever since I was little," Holder said.
And he'll be on hand in Scott Stadium again this weekend – and who knows, maybe he can add to his fan of the game resume while he's there.

The mesmerizing 2019 Audi RS7 Sportback Look HD Wallpapers digital imagery below, is segment of 2019 Audi RS7 Sportback report which is labeled within Audi, Audi RS7 Sportback and published at June 10, 2018.
Audi first introduced the A7 in 2010 at the Paris Motor Sow as a stylish, yet useful model of the A6. U.S. models showed up for the 2012 model year, while the hot-to-trot RS7 was released in 2013 with more power, complimentary suspension and chassis upgrades, and sharper looks. Now, following the release of the second-gen A7 in October of 2017, Audi is cooking up a second generation for the RS7 too, and it could get as much as 700 hybridized horsepower under the hood.
Like the basic A7, the RS7 Sportback is a midsize high-end entry that comes equipped with 5 doors, including four for guests and a rear hatch for freight tasks. If you think of it, it's sort of a strange niche, but considering the seemingly endless appeal of the SUV section, not to point out the declining appeal of sedan, it absolutely begins to makes sense to mesh the two a bit. And hi-- folks appear to like it, so why not?
Here is required instruction on Audi, Audi RS7 Sportback. We have the excellent source for Audi, Audi RS7 Sportback. Check it out for yourself! You can get 2019 Audi RS7 Sportback Look HD Wallpapers guide and look the latest 2019 Audi RS7 Sportback.


Our property of the month is a 300 year old farmhouse and gite set in the beautiful, peaceful Norman region of la Manche.
Our property of the month for December has been recognised as one of the top gites in Normandy and boasts three stars, the highest accolade awarded by the Manche Tourist Office.
The two homes, 'Les Sapins' and 'Les Pommiers', are beautifully appointed and each offers three bedrooms, sleeping 6, perfect for a family or a larger group. Both have been renovated to an extremely high standard; 'Les Pommiers' was finished and opened in 2008, and 'Les Sapins', renovated in 2004, blends its 300 year old farmhouse charm with an air of modern luxury. The living areas are spacious and feature log fires, British television and fully equipped kitchens. But if you prefer to dine al fresco the beautiful gardens with barbecues and furniture are the place to be!
Set in a tranquil countryside location alongside the culture-steeped town of Cerisy-la-Salle, the 300 year old farmhouse 'Les Sapins' and more recently renovated gite 'Les Pommiers' offer a little something for everyone.
The culture vulture can discover the 17th century chateau which houses an international cultural centre. Historians meanwhile will find intrigue at every turn: the area really is soaked with history, from William the Conqueror right through to World War 2. Take for example the poignant monument to an Australian pilot and six crew of a British Lancaster bomber that crashed into the area on the night of 6 June 6 1944. Also not to be missed are the World Heritage site of Mont St Michel, Bayeux with its tapestry, and the Normandy landing beaches – all within easy reach.
Beautiful unspoilt sandy beaches can be found just 25 minutes away and for those with something a little more strenuous in mind the area boasts mile after mile of picturesque tracks for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The River Soulles meanders nearby, so river and lake fishing are popular past times. And as if all this wasn't enough nearby Coutances is home of the famous music festival 'Jazz sous les Pommiers' held each year in May.
The properties are perched between the historic towns of Saint-Lo and Coutances and both make a great day out. Saint-Lo took over from Coutances as the regional capital; however it relinquished this status after being almost completely destroyed during the D-day invasion, only to reclaim the status once it had been re-built. Market day on Wednesday is a wonderful invitation to soak up the Norman way of life – and to stock up on fresh local produce, especially cheeses!
After lunch in one of the many bars or restaurants spend the afternoon strolling around the ramparts and heart of the city. And if you didn't get your fill on Wednesday then Thursday is the day to visit the market in Coutances, where you can also look around the hauntingly beautiful Notre Dame cathedral, a Norman Gothic jewel.
As well as the Jazz Festival, Jo and Jonathan highly recommend the Savigny Fête Ancienne which features old crafts and local dance displays as well as an 'excellent lamb lunch.' Other dining recommendations include 'Notre Dame de Cenille' bar which serves a tempting lunch for just €11, the 'Relais du Viaduc' in Coutances as well as the 'Grignotiere' in Saint-Pierre-de-Semilly. And for something truly special, hop on the ferry crossing to Jersey where Shaun Rankin's Michelin-starred 'Utopia' offers a fabulous lunch, at a reasonable price.
Jo and Jonathan look forward to offering you a traditionally warm Anglo-Norman welcome at their comfortable, clean and well equipped properties. Weekly rental starts from £265 per week in 'Les Sapins' (available all year round) and £475 in 'Les Pommiers' (July and August only).

A typical roof lasts about 15 years, but not without upkeep. You also have to play your part by taking care of the roof. Keep reading to learn the essentials of roofing.
To protect the integrity of your roof, clean the gutters regularly. Many roof problems, such as leaking, are caused by back-ups in the gutter system. Having a clogged gutter means that rain and snow cannot adequately drain and that puts an extra burden on your roofing materials. Buy tools to make cleaning the gutters faster and easier on you.


A new peacock mantis shrimp is on exhibit in our Surviving through Adaptation gallery!
Native to the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, this shrimp can be found in crevices of coral and among rocks on the ocean floor. Armed with appendages that pack a powerful punch, a mantis shrimp can kill prey larger than itself, including crabs, gastropods and mollusks.
Not only are the shrimp's appendages impressive, its eyes alone are the most complex in the animal kingdom. While humans have just three color-receptive cones, the peacock mantis shrimp has 16 cones, meaning it can detect ten time more color than humans. It uses this amazing eyesight to avoid predators and find prey.

Q: What audio sampling rate should be used for a toy? I'm trying to work with my overseas vendor and they are not really providing a lot of information.
We are working on an educational toy that will give you facts and then asks questions.
We will have A LOT OF human speech and a handful of sound effects.
I'm trying to fit as much audio on the chip as possible.
What sampling rate should I use for voice?  11.025 KHz? 22.5 KHz?
What sampling rate should I use for the sound effects? 22.5KHz?
The speaker is a 'cheap' toy speaker...not high fidelity.

A: If telephone quality is adequate, then use that technology.
There is a lot of information on the www about digital telephone signals.
For example Wikipedia: Pulse-code modulation 'Demodulation' explains:

For example, in telephony, the usable voice frequency band ranges from
  approximately 300 Hz to 3400 Hz.

and goes on to say:

Therefore, per the Nyquist–Shannon sampling theorem, the sampling
  frequency (8 kHz) must be at least twice the voice frequency (4 kHz)
  for effective reconstruction of the voice signal.

Telephone signals use a data rate of 64kbit/s. It is not a linear signal encoding, unlike CD.
Try the sound effects at exactly the same rate for simplicity.

Serious concerns have been raised about the conditions in the Calais refugee camp. The situation is now urgent following the commencement of the evacuation and demolition of the southern section.
Save the Children estimate that around 300 unaccompanied children are affected. We know that unaccompanied migrant children are highly vulnerable to trafficking, sexual exploitation and other forms of abuse, and so it is of particular worry when Europol estimated in January that over 10,000 unaccompanied children have already disappeared since arriving in Europe.
There is a lack of meaningful advice being provided to these children in areas such as the 'Jungle' camp in Calais. Existing reunification rules are not working and there appears to be no process in place for those who would be entitled to join their family in the UK, particularly children, under the Dublin III regulation. This allows for spouses or children under 18 with refugee status or those granted humanitarian protection to be reunited with family members in the UK.
Labour's Home Office team tabled an amendment to the Immigration Bill in December 2015 which called for the Government to carry out a wide-ranging review of refugee reunification rules. If the government had agreed to the amendment, it would had to consider options for extending the criteria for family reunion, as well as the failure to implement the Dublin III regulation.
The Government rejected Labour's proposal and said that there does not need to be a change in the law on family reunion.
There is more that we could be doing. The Government should reconsider its refusal to take refugees who are already in Europe, on a voluntary basis, and we should support calls to take in 3,000 vulnerable and unaccompanied children, too.
I will be following this issue very closely.

Q: Schedule job to start at beginning of each hour I want some job to be run at start of every hour, e.g at 4'O clock, 5'O clock and so on...
I am trying to use job scheduler, but the problem is the scheduling happens every hour after initial start up e.g if application is started at 4:20, the next run will be 5:20, 6:20 and so on.. I am unable to make it schedule for beginning of each hour (5:00, 6:00) etc..
sched = BlockingScheduler()
sched.add_job(log_setup, 'interval', hours=1)
sched.start()

How can I make it work?

A: One way you can do this is to use the 'cron' scheduler instead of the 'interval' scheduler. So your code would look something like this:
  sched.add_job(log_setup, 'cron', minute=0)

This should make the job fire every hour at the 00 mark. More information about using cron style jobs with the APScheduler library can be found here

A: You could start the program and then pause it until the time is what you want, like this:
chosen_time = 9:00 #change to whatever your starting time is
if datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%H:%M")) != chosen_time:
    sched.pause()
else:
    sched.resume()

Nature benefits our lives in so many ways so be sure to incorporate functionality into your landscaping ideas. Plan your landscape to capitalize on the benefits most applicable to you and your family.
Do you like to meditate? Find gardening relaxing? Do your kids or pets need space to run and play? Plan landscaping ideas to support these wants.
At Hittle Landscaping in Indianapolis, we love bringing nature within reach. Avoid the landscaping equivalent of a museum. Something to admire, but not touch. We love it when we get to design a space for a family or business to be used.
According to a new study by Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment through Stanford University, walking in and exposure to nature leads to a lower risk of depression.
In fact, the study determined people walked for 90 minutes in a natural area, versus participants who walked in a highly-trafficked urban setting, showed evidence of decreased brain activity in a region of the brain often associated with depression.
This neural evidence led the team to suggest accessibility to natural areas is not only pleasant, but critical to mental health. These findings support landscaping ideas which preserve and bring people to nature.
Natural areas make cities more livable to the more than half of the world's population which live in them. Forecasters predict the figure to rise to 70 percent within the next few decades.
As urban centers become more populated, people inadvertently disconnect from nature and mental health issues, such as depression, increase. The study also revealed urban citizens outpace rural residents in mood disorders by 40 percent and anxiety disorders by 20 percent.
No one suggests planting a tree cures mental health issues. Instead, be proactive when planning landscaping ideas to incorporate nature.
If you like to do yoga, meditate or relax with a book or a cup of coffee, create a space for these activities outdoors. If you have a patio or deck, select easy to move furniture so you have a space for yoga or tai chi.
Incorporate a water feature to facilitate mediation or bring the sounds of nature to you while you enjoy a beverage or write in a journal. Water features also help muffle noise from cars or other urban noise pollution.
Work with your professional landscape designer to select trees, shrubbery and plants attractive to bees, butterflies and birds. It helps the environment and the endangered bees, as well as provides year-round entertainment.
Perhaps you like to get your hands dirty. Plan a garden space. You have numerous options. Your Hittle designer can create a garden perfect for your tastes and activity level.
Maybe it's a small container garden of herbs on the patio. If bending is difficult, a raised bed garden will make working easier. If you have space, a cutting garden helps you bring the outdoors in with your own fresh flowers. We can design something as big or as small as you like.
For homes with expansive grounds, consider a winding path. This may help you take time for yourself each day to walk along your property and quiet the noise of our technology-driven lives.
Designers at Hittle Want to Hear Your Landscaping Ideas: What's Important to You?
Call Hittle Landscaping today for a complimentary consultation. We love to hear your ideas for your Indianapolis property. We'll combine expertise and experience to them to turn your dreams into reality. Book your time with a designer now so we can begin your landscape project this spring.

Le Westminster Central Hall (aussi appelé en anglais  ou ) est un édifice historique religieux et polyvalent de la ville de Londres au Royaume-Uni, situé face à l'abbaye de Westminster dans le district de Westminster.

Après avoir abrité jusqu'en 2000 le siège de l'Église méthodiste de Grande-Bretagne, il sert aujourd'hui principalement d'église méthodiste et de centre de conférences, mais aussi de galerie d'art et d'immeuble de bureaux. Il contient vingt-deux salles de conférence, de réunion et de séminaire, la plus grande peut accueillir  personnes.

Situation
L'édifice s'élève dans le quartier de Westminster sur Tothill street, à l'angle avec Storey's gate, au nord-ouest de l'abbaye de Westminster.

Historique
Le Methodist Central Hall a été édifié à l'occasion du centenaire de la mort de John Wesley, le fondateur du méthodisme. Il a été construit entre 1905 et 1911 sur le site du Royal Aquarium, un lieu de divertissement qui fut exploité avec des fortunes diverses de 1876 à 1903.

Le financement de sa construction a fait l'objet, de 1898 à 1908, d'un crowdfunding avant la lettre : une campagne menée par le  (qui fut surnommé le , dont le but était de lever un million de guinées auprès d'un million de méthodistes. La campagne fut arrêtée en 1904 après avoir recueilli  guinées, soit  en livres sterling. L'édifice était dès l'origine destiné à servir non seulement d'église mais aussi de rendre service pour l'organisation de conférences sur des questions religieuses, éducatives, scientifiques, philanthropiques ou sociales".

En 1914, quelques-unes des premières réunions de ce qui allait de devenir le mouvement des suffragettes ont eu lieu au Methodist Central Hall, et certaines scènes du film "Suffragette" (2015) y ont été filmées dans leur cadre historique.

La salle a été utilisée régulièrement pour des meetings politiques, parfois avec des orateurs parmi les plus célèbres : Gandhi, Martin Luther King et Winston Churchill y ont pris la parole.

Elle a accueilli la première partie de la première Assemblée générale des Nations unies du 10 au  (la seconde partie se déroula à Flushing Meadows à New York du  au ).

Aujourd'hui l'édifice abrite une paroisse méthodiste, la plus grande salle de réunion dans le centre de Londres et une association sociale de protection de l'enfance.

Architecture

Extérieur

Methodist Central Hall a été conçu par Edwin Alfred Rickards, de la firme Henry Vaughan Lanchester, Stewart et Rickards. Cette société a également conçu l'hôtel de ville de Cardiff, qui présente de nombreuses similitudes avec l'édifice londonien. Bien que de style  baroque, c'est un exemple précoce d'utilisation d'une charpente en béton armé pour un bâtiment en Grande-Bretagne L'intérieur a été dessiné dans le style monumental de  Piranesi, bien que l'exécution en ait été plutôt plus économique.

Les plans de 1904 prévoyaient la construction de deux petites tours sur la façade principale (est), en face de l'abbaye de Westminster. Celles-ci n'ont jamais été réalisées, en raison d'une polémique concernant le tort qu'elles feraient subir à la position dominante des tours occidentales de l'Abbaye de Westminster, dues à Nicholas Hawksmoor, vues depuis St. James's Park. La salle fut finalement terminée en 1911.

Intérieur

Le plafond en forme de dôme de la Grande Salle est réputé être le deuxième plus grand du genre dans le monde. La vaste structure autoporteuse en béton armé reflète l'intention originale : ce hall central devait être « un lieu de rencontre en plein air avec un toit ».

Orgue
L'orgue a été construit en 1912 par William Hill & Sons, reconstruit en 1970 par Rushworth et Dreaper et révisé en 2011 par Harrison & Harrison. L'orgue compte 57 registres / 68 rangs et 4 731 tuyaux sur quatre claviers et un pédalier.

Repost Instagram videos and photos: Easy to use: When you want to repost a post in Instagram, you just need to copy the share URL, and open Repost app. Everything will be done right for you. Instagram™ is Instagram's trademark. Repost is not affiliated with Instagram, Inc. Repost app requires an Instagram account to use.
Can't get this to work. Follow instructions. Nothing.
App keeps closing every time I try to repost. I paid for the pro version and it performs like an amateur. I demand a refund.
Why did I pay for something not to work ? It keeps showing a pic of something of what I'm not trying to repost. Where do I get my refund.
App seems to work pretty good with the exception of undesirably cropping video and not offering any selection on where watermark goes.
Long story short... App doesn't work.
Tried several times but the copied posts do not go to this app. Trash!!!
The app doesn't work. I copied the link several times but the app does not pick it up. This app hasn't work since I downloaded it some time back.
I bought the pro version and it doesn't work!
I have not been able to repost. I copy the link and when I return to the app to repost, nothing is there. Very disappointing. Whatever is wrong needs to be fixed. Especially since this app is not free.
I want our money Back!!!
Put a resize feature so you can fit the whole clip or pic in and it's 5 stars for me.
Just keeps giving instructions but doesn't do anything.
Maybe there is a bug but it drives me crazy that it does not load the photos and text on on consistent basis.
This app did not work at all. TRASH, DONT USE IT!
Hola no he podido repostear nada? Que pasa?
None of these repost apps seem to work. Since when did it get so difficult to repost videos!?
I paid the 2.99 for pro and it doesn't work!
I want my money back! This app does not work!
Probably just an app that hacks into your IG account. Don't risk downloading it. Didn't do what it's intended to do at all.
Can I have my $2.99 back? Ya killing me!
I followed step by step directions and it doesn't even save to your files in order to repost on Instagram. I'm getting tired of all the repost apps.
The app works well but captions do not copy. It could be user error on my part but otherwise it works well.
Link copied to clipboard but this app can't read it. No repost possible.
My $3 and change has been charged for a "one-time" fee for the app and I am following all of the directions but STILL not seeing the repost option available so I can repost.
App will not allow me to repost anything. I purchased the pro version and it's like the app bricked itself.
The WORST repost app, they charge you 3 dollars, can't copy and paste the caption on the shared pic, can't share/repost videos. This app is a scam.
THIS APP CANNOT SAVE VIDEOS TO YOUR CAMERA ROLL. it doesn't even work to send them to your shared icloud camera roll and save them from there half of the time.
If you want to repost an image that's not the first image in a multiple-photo post this is not an option with this app. It will only repost the first image. You also have to pay to remove the watermark. Which I stupidly did before I realized this app wouldn't even post the image I wanted. Useless.

Thoughts on Baritone as Jesus?

I prefer the symphonic sound, too. I just think it sounds better, and has more emotion to it. Even when listening to the original versions, I still hear it going otherwise.
The rock stuff is powerful, to be sure (and cooler) but it's not AS powerful, in my opinion. I can do rock screaming, but not consistently well, and I'm not really even interested in doing rock screaming.
"Think about it this way: What happens when you yell? Pay attention to the register in which the sound comes out of you. It's probably higher than your normal speaking voice. Conversely, sing the lowest standard note for your voice type. Can you sing that note as loud as you can the highest standard note for your voice type? Can you yell the lowest note of your voice type? I doubt it."
What if you can almost be as loud with the lower and highest notes of your voice as with your best standard note? Granted, they're different tones...
I don't like to use microphones, and sound techs don't like it when I use microphones.
I love singing Judas, though. Learned to bounce around to different notes on Judas's songs, which was probably a bad idea.
Past that...best techniques for taking care of one's voice in preparation for such an endeavour?

Re: Thoughts on Baritone as Jesus?
I think that if you're a baritone, you should set your sights on Peter or Pilate. Not Jesus, and certainly not Judas.

It might be my own high tenor-self speaking- but I in general like Jesus to have a high Tenor just because it suits the character better, and doesn't make Gethesame as heavy (If you listen to Michael Balls version, way too heavy for my taste)- also a high tenor voice makes him sound more youtfull and victim-like which is how I see the role But again it might be because I myself am a tenor and like the way I sing the part- but aint it very high for a Baritone? To sing it every night for a period of time would def hurt the persons voice

I think there is more wrong with Michael Ball's version than the heaviness. The fact that he is not a rock singer and can't do the high notes comes to mind.

^ Thank you. To reiterate thoughts I had in this thread that got swept out in the forum switch, I must add that this is an interesting viewpoint:
The Guard wrote:

And by interesting I mean back-asswards. Listen to Ian Gillan from the original concept album in 1970:
And then listen to Steve Balsamo from Webber's official 1996 re-branding of the show:
The choice as to who's more powerful is obvious. The "symphonic" sound is a whiny little runt compared to Gillan. He's not even trying to act the part, and he cuts Balsamo up into little tiny Italian meatballs. Not as powerful my hairy white butt.

I just gave a listen to Balsamo's version. I do agree, I like rock instrumentation better. I'll take Balsamo over Neeley any day, though. Granted, I have a hard time finding a Jesus I wouldn't take over Neeley.
Which is a shame, because he got better with age. There was more depth in the portrayal, and a sort of grit and texture to the voice. The tour's over now, and that's good, because Ted surely doesn't have any of that anymore, good bad or indifferent, but he had his moment.
I saw the Farewell Tour. I did not enjoy it.

I heard baritone Anthony Warlow do a legit sung version of the song, and I loved it. Easily my top 3, and it's the complete opposite of the rock singers.

I don't know if this guy terms himself a baritone or a tenor. He clearly has the vocal range to play Jesus but in terms of timbre, he's a baritone. His Gethsemane isn't a great interpretation but I can't find fault with his voice. He has clips of himself as Don Quixote and Emile DeBeque (!).
There's a light in the darkness of everybody's life.
Timmerbo wrote:
My friends in a regional production of Phantom of the Opera with that guy right now. I also would consider him more of a robust Tenor than a baritone.
I was so perplexed by his voice that I sent him a YouTube message asking him what voice type he considered himself to be, and what he had trained as. His words:
"I consider myself kind of a freak of nature vocally. I sing as a straight baritone, making my way through my range as a baritone, or I start in a different placement and sing as a tenor. It may or may not be "correct" singing but I have been able to do it as long as I remember."
Hearing him as Jesus, sure, he sounds like a 'robust tenor'. Hearing him as Emile DeBeque or Don Quixote, he sounds like a low-lying baritone. I'm not a big fan of the show, but I would like to hear his Phantom.

On behalf of Ainsman Levine, LLC posted in brain injury on Wednesday, September 23, 2015.
Researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center have identified a protein that can cause damaging inflammation in patients with traumatic brain injuries. They have also found that the protein, which is produced by the liver, can be blocked by a drug used to treat high blood pressure. The research could lead to better TBI treatments in Pennsylvania and worldwide.
Researchers found that when a person suffers a TBI, the liver increases production of a protein that causes brain inflammation by up to 1,000 times. This inflammation leads to reduced blood flow, nerve cell death and tissue damage. Until now, doctors have had no way to reduce the body's inflammation response to TBI. However, the authors of the study found that small doses of the hypertension drug telmisartan blocked production of a molecule needed to produce the protein. This led to a significant reduction in brain inflammation.
Earlier research by the same team found that another hypertension drug, known as candesartan, had a similar impact on brain inflammation. The researchers said doctors can administer these drugs up to six hours after TBI to reduce inflammation, bleeding and swelling.
Approximately 1.7 million Americans have a TBI each year. The condition causes 275,000 hospitalizations and 52,000 deaths annually. A person who has been the victim of an accident that caused a brain injury could be left with a permanent disability that requires long-term care. If the accident was the result of the negligence of another party, the victim may want to consult with an attorney to determine the recourse that may be available. In some cases, it may be advisable to seek compensation for the damages that have been and will be sustained through a personal injury lawsuit against the responsible party.

How the AJC/Channel 2 Action News poll was conducted
M.V. "Trey" Hood III, For the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The poll was conducted for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Channel 2 Action News by the School of Public and International Affairs Survey Research Center at the University of Georgia from Sept. 30 to Oct .9, 2018, and included 1,232 likely general election voters in Georgia. Likely voters were respondents who had voted in the 2018 May primaries and/or the 2016 general election, who indicated they were currently registered to vote in Georgia, and were definitely or probably going to vote in the 2018 November election. Interviews were conducted in English. A dual-frame statewide random sample consisting of approximately 65 percent cellphone numbers and 35 percent landline numbers was obtained through Self Made Insights Co. (SMI is a sampling vendor that maintains a database constructed from state voter registration lists. Through commercial sources, phone numbers have been appended to the individual records (registrants) that make up these lists.) The survey results were weighted using iterative proportional raking in order to ensure the sample was representative of the 2018 midterm electorate in terms of race, sex and age. The calculated margin of error for the total sample is +/-2.8 percentage points at the 95 percent confidence level. This would mean that if 50 percent of respondents indicate a topline view on an issue, we can be 95 percent confident that the population's view on that issue is somewhere between 52.8 percent and 47.2 percent. In 2014, turnout in the general election in Georgia equated to 42.9 percent of the total electorate (measured as the number of registered voters).
Starting this fall, the SPIA Survey Research Center has implemented a new verification policy. Before results for any head-to-head election matchup are released to the AJC, they are corroborated by an outside entity. More specifically, the outside entity replicates our reported results for any head-to-head races and confirms they are the same. For this survey, the results we report for the gubernatorial election were verified by the Wason Center for Public Policy at Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Va.
Statistical calculations:
Governor: The difference between Kemp's estimated vote share and Abrams' estimated vote share, at 1.4 percent, is not statistically significant. In plain English, the gubernatorial race is currently a statistical tie.
Lt. governor: The difference between Duncan's estimated vote share and Amico's estimated vote share, at 6.1 percent, is statistically significant. In this race, one can be confident that Duncan is leading Amico.
Secretary of state: The difference between Raffensperger's estimated vote share and Barrow's estimated vote share, at 4.6 percent, is not statistically significant. In this contest, Raffensperger and Barrow are statistically tied.

Every corner of every street is marked by the figure of Jeanne d'Arc on her horse, who helped liberate the city from the English in 1429.
At the end of the trainride, I took to the pedestrian passages of the ancient town.
On weekends a little book market installs itself on Place du Martroi.
Orleans is a very pleasant town to visit, especially during sales.


North Burnett Regional Council requires residents utilising the free waste service available for dumping of domestic waste for up to 1m3 to continue to provide evidence of residency.
Did you know since July 2016 when free dumping for residents was introduced, there has been a significant increase in the amount of household waste taken to landfill? This is fantastic, however we just want this service to be available for North Burnett residents only. As an example, household waste taken to Biggenden has increased from 288 tonnes in 2015/16 to 587 tonnes last financial year and this trend has continued.
The cost of waste disposal is quite high and those customers who may not be local are being subsidised by ratepayers. Residents should be prepared and take proof of residency on every trip to their local waste management facility, or be ready to pay $6 per wheelie bin, $7 for a sedan or $11 for a utility or trailer.
The North Burnett Regional Council is one of the few Council's which offers free waste disposal for domestic waste up to 1m3, making it an attractive option to our close neighbours.

Champagne, Uncorked
The House of Krug and the Timeless Allure of the World's Most Celebrated Drink
by Alan Tardi
Champagne is the epitome of effervescence, the centerpiece of celebration, and a symbol of good fortune. It has become an icon, a symbol of luxury, an emblem of the "good life," and few are not attracted to its sparkle.
Champagne, Uncorked is a journey into the heart of this beloved wine, anchored by the year the author spent inside the very secretive, prestigious Krug winery in Reims, France. It tells the dramatic story of the creation of the Grande Cuvée, one of the most distinctive and high quality champagnes in the world, from the growing of the grapes to the challenges of harvest, through fermentation in old wood barrels, to the extended process of tasting and analyzing the wines which eventually result in the determination of the all-important final blend.
During the course of the narrative, Alan Tardi jumps backwards and forwards in time, telling a larger story about the history and cultural impact of champagne. He reveals how we came to use champagne to celebrate (hint: we can all thank Napoleon) and introduces Eugene Mercier of Dom Perignon, who in 1889 built the "Cathedral of Champagne," one of the first modern examples of brand marketing: the largest wine cask in the world, holding about 200,000 bottles' worth of bubbly, it debuted at the Paris World's Fair that year as the second most popular exhibit (the first being the unveiling of the Eiffel Tower). He also regales us with the story of "Champagne Charlie," the first person to bring champagne to America, who was paid for his champagne in embargoed cotton during the Civil War and who was thanked for his effervescent contribution with the deed to a little town called Denver, Colorado.
In Champagne, Uncorked, Tardi is our guide, taking us into the fields of France to learn how finicky grapes in an unstable climate can lead to a nail-biting season for the vintners, and deep into the caves at Krug, where the delicate and painstaking process of blending takes place, all of which culminates in the glass we raise to toast in celebration of life's finer moments. You'll never raise a glass of champagne the same way again.

Delegates did not switch votes, Wooden is the party's endorsed candidate for state treasurer.
In acceptance speech, Wooden who grew up in Hartford says "the odds of a kid from the North End ending up in a casket are higher than ending up on a stage like this."
"As I stand on this stage I can't help but think about how unlikely my own journey has been,'' Wooden said. "After all the odds of a kid from the North End of Hartford ending up in a casket are far greater than...standing on a stage like this on a night like this."
Thank you @hartfordcourant politics team for coverage of the #ctgop and #CTDemConvention2018 .
Thank you to all of the candidates & all of the delegates for coming out tonight to support the Party and celebrate what we stand for. We've got a long fight ahead of us, but after this weekend one thing is clear: Democrats are energized and ready for 2018.
Congratulations to our candidate for Treasurer @ShawnTWooden !
