NYU's Institute for Public Knowledge and the Department of Social and Cultural Analysis invite you to join for a talk with French philosopher and sociologist Geoffroy de Lagasnerie on his new book, The Art of Revolt: Snowden, Assange, Manning (Stanford University Press, September 2017). The author will be in conversation with Nikhil Singh and Andrew Ross.
Edward Snowden, Julian Assange, and Chelsea Manning are key figures in the struggles playing out in our democracies over internet use, state secrets, and mass surveillance in the age of terror. When not decried as traitors, they are seen as whistle-blowers whose crucial revelations are meant to denounce a problem or correct an injustice. Yet, for Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, they are much more than that. Snowden, Assange, and Manning are exemplars who have reinvented an art of revolt. Consciously or not, they have inaugurated a new form of political action and a new identity for the political subject.
Anonymity as practiced by WikiLeaks and the flight and requests for asylum of Snowden and Assange break with traditional forms of democratic protest. Yet we can hardly dismiss them as acts of cowardice. Rather, as Lagasnerie suggests, such solitary choices challenge us to question classic modes of collective action, calling old conceptions of the state and citizenship into question and inviting us to reformulate the language of critical philosophy. In the process, he pays homage to the actions and lives of these three figures.
Geoffroy de Lagasnerie, Professor at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Arts de Paris-Cergy, is a French philosopher and sociologist who has been called one of the most influential thinkers in contemporary French culture.

Naro , also Nharo, is a Khoe language spoken in Ghanzi District of Botswana and in eastern Namibia. It is probably the most-spoken of the Tshu–Khwe languages.  Naro is a trade language among speakers of different Khoe languages in Ghanzi District. There exists a dictionary.

Phonology
Naro has the following consonant inventory (in the IPA) as described by Miller (2011), whereas the orthographic symbols were proposed by Visser (2001):

The phonemes /kχ/ and /kχ'/ (spelt ⟨kg⟩ and ⟨kg'⟩) only contrast for some speakers: kg'ám 'mouth' vs. kg'áù 'male'. The flap /ɾ/ only occurs word-medially except in loan words. The lateral /l/ is only found in loans, and is generally substituted by  medially, and by  initially. Medial  and  may be  and ; they occur initially only in wèé 'all, both' and in yèè (an interjection).

Vowels
Naro has five vowel qualities, /a e i o u/, which may occur long (/aː eː iː oː uː/ spelt ⟨aa ee ii oo uu⟩), nasalized (/ã ẽ ĩ õ ũ/), pharyngealized (/aˤ eˤ iˤ oˤ uˤ/ , spelt ⟨a e i o u⟩, and combinations of these (/ãˤ ẽː/ ⟨ã ẽe⟩ etc.). There are three tones: high, mid, and low

Syllable structure
Syllables are in general simple in Naro, with the maximal shape CV(V)C, where VV is a long vowel or diphthong. The only consonant that occurs in coda position is /m/, as in /ᵏǁám̀/ xám̀ 'to smell'. However, long nasal vowels such as /ãː/ may occur with an excrescent [ŋ] as in [ãŋ]. Syllabic /m n/ also occur, as in /n̩.nā/ nna. Nasals such as /m/ can also form syllable nuclei, as in /hḿḿ/.

Orthography
Naro orthography uses the Latin alphabet, and is partially based on the systems for Zulu and Xhosa, especially as far as clicks are represented. Digraphs are used for clicks, and to represent affricates. Vowel length is represented by doubling of the vowel, whereas the orthography utilizes the tilde to represent nasality (⟨ã ẽ ĩ õ ũ⟩), and underline to represent pharyngealization. Tones are written with diacritics both on vowels and nasal consonants, with the exception of the mid tone, which is not represented (e.g. ⟨á a à ḿ m̀ ń ǹ⟩).

Below is an overview of Naro clicks in both orthography and IPA (Visser 2001). The dental click is represented by c. alveolar click by q, palatal click by tc, and lateral click by x. All examples are from Visser (2001).

Ceiling Tiles Market worth 9.88 Billion USD by 2022 – Report by MarketsandMarkets™
"Ceiling Tiles Market"
Ceiling Tiles Market by Material Type (Mineral Fiber, Metal and Gypsum), Property Type (Acoustic and Non-Acoustic), End User (Residential and Non-Residential), and Region (NA, EU, APAC, MEA, and SA)
Agreements/contracts, expansions, acquisitions, and new product developments are key strategies adopted by leading players in the ceiling tiles market.
Ceiling tiles are structural materials that are available in various forms, such as planks and panels. These tiles are used in residential and non-residential buildings. The main purpose of ceiling tiles is to serve the aesthetic need of buildings by covering up beams, wires, pipes, cables, and ventilation systems, which would otherwise be exposed without the use of suspended ceiling tiles. These tiles are made of materials, such as mineral fiber, gypsum, and metal. The ceiling tiles market is projected to reach USD 9.88 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2017 to 2022.

Key players operating in the ceiling tiles market are focused on the adoption of inorganic and organic growth strategies to strengthen their market positions. These companies have adopted agreements/contracts, expansions, acquisitions, and new product developments as key growth strategies between January 2015 and December 2017 to strengthen their foothold in the ceiling tiles market.
Armstrong World Industries (US), one of the leading manufacturers of ceiling tiles, is focused on the adoption of key growth strategies such as agreements, new product developments, and acquisitions to enhance its presence in the ceiling tiles market. In October 2015, the company launched a new ceiling panel that encompasses sound absorption and sound blocking capabilities. In December 2016, Armstrong World Industries acquired the business of Tectum, Inc. (US). The acquisition strategy helped the company expand its portfolio of durable, sustainable, and acoustical ceilings and gain a competitive edge over its peers in the ceiling tiles market.
Major players operating in the ceiling tiles market include Armstrong World Industries (US), USG Corporation (US), Hunter Douglas (Netherlands), SAS International (UK), CertainTeed (US), Rockfon (Denmark), Odenwald Faserplattenwerk GmbH (Germany), Knauf (Germany), Saint-Gobain Gyproc (France), and Georgia-Pacific (US). These companies have a strong presence in the ceiling tiles market and are continuously undertaking efforts to improve their business strategies and product portfolios.
In October 2017, Rockfon (Denmark) expanded its manufacturing facility in Marshall County, Mississippi (US). The new manufacturing facility of Rockfon majorly focuses on the production of stone wool acoustic ceilings. The expansion strategy helped the company cater to the rising demand for acoustically advanced stone wool ceiling products in the North American region. In April 2016, Rockfon developed a new suspended ceiling product made of stone wool material. The company is focused on launching new products in the market to widen its customer base and expand its product portfolio.
Hunter Douglas (Netherlands), a key manufacturer and provider of ceiling tiles, has adopted the strategy of agreements/contracts to enhance its position in the ceiling tiles market. For instance, in April 2015, the company entered into a supply contract to offer window blinds and ceiling systems to the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai. Ceiling panels provided by the company were used in bathrooms and walk-in closets of apartments. This development strategy helped the company enhance its brand image and geographic reach in the Middle Eastern region.
Increase in the number of construction projects worldwide is projected to drive the growth of the ceiling tiles market.
Developed economies across the globe are targeting for long-term investments in the building & construction industry. This, in turn, is expected to increase the number of construction projects, thereby providing a positive outlook for the ceiling tiles market. Increased spending on infrastructure projects is also contributing to the growth of the ceiling tiles market. The ceiling tiles market is projected to reach USD 9.88 billion by 2022, at a CAGR of 6.2% between 2017 and 2022.
The ceiling tiles market in the Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, in terms of value and volume. The growth of the Asia Pacific ceiling tiles market can be attributed to the increased demand for ceiling tiles from the building & construction industry in this region.
Based on material type, the mineral fiber segment of the ceiling tiles market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, in terms of value and volume. This growth can be attributed to the increased demand for mineral fiber ceiling tiles in non-residential buildings, such as offices, institutes, and hospitals. Mineral fiber ceiling tiles have high noise reduction coefficient, which helps enhance their acoustic property by absorbing sound or preventing echo. Thus, properties of mineral fiber ceiling tiles such as improved sound absorption capability and recyclability have contributed to the increased use of mineral fiber ceiling tiles in green building constructions.
Based on property type, the acoustic segment of the ceiling tiles market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period, in terms of value and volume. The growth of the acoustic segment can be attributed to the increased use of ceiling tiles with sound absorbing and sound blocking capabilities in various non-residential buildings, such as auditoriums, offices, institutes, hospitals, and cinema theaters.
Based on end user, the non-residential segment of the ceiling tiles market is projected to grow at the highest CAGR between 2017 and 2022, in terms of value or volume. Properties of ceiling tiles such as moisture absorption and fire resistance make them an ideal material for use in non-residential buildings. As ceiling tiles are good absorbers and attenuator of sound, they are widely used in offices, museums, hospitals, and institutions, where sound absorption and aesthetic appeal is a priority.

This patch adds support for IPv6 to Motion.
The 'local' options, which before bound on localhost, now will bind on the appropriate localhost (127.0.0.1 or ::1) depending if IPv6 is available or not. Do note that multiple sockets are not supported, this would require a lot of code changes.
Current stable version of motion is 3.2.9, so i think that could be better do it against svn version, so i'll take some time to do it.
I've commit to svn r344 some parts of your patch fixing some issues , but only to allow IPV4/IPV6 dual stack for webcam stream and http-control.
I've compiled motion on jaunty and now it only binds to IPv6 and not IPv4 -- How do I get it to bind to IPv4?
I presently have to run ifconfig lo inet6 del ::1/128 every time before I start motion to get motion to bind on IPv4 -- Any better solution?
I can add a new config option to enable or disable IPV6 support.
It's been six years, was this ever accepted? I'm running 3.2.12 and it looks like IPv6 support doesn't work.
It says ScheduledForVersion 3.3.0... I doubt that release will ever happen though.
@AngelCarpintero dear mr.angel , Kinda new here. i have installed motion 3.2.12 on my raspberry , and it's great to work on IPV4 , but actually i want it to work on IPV6 , what step should i do now sir? just download the latest version of motion or just download this patch and then recompile the motion?

Q: How can I show files only in Total Commander? I don't want to use standard SEARCH (AltF7 in Total Commander.
Instead, I would like the option to display all files (including those in subfolders of current directory).
Is there a way to do it in Total Commander or others?
I'm thinking of something like UltraSearch or Everything (programme), but it doesn't necessarily need to index the whole HDD, just a particular directory.

A: Use CtrlB (or the corresponding menu item) to activate the "Branch View" mode.

"Dark Horse" Film from Wales Celebrates Owners Who Believe in Their Horses--and Dare to Try Stem Cell Therapy
Sundance "Audience Favorite" winner evokes parallel American "nags to riches" story of Ascot-bound California Chrome
If you've read this blog for a while, you know I'm a sucker for these films. When Mine That Bird won the Kentucky Derby, I was sure he was channeling that great Walter Matthau racing film, Casey's Shadow; his owner/vet had even been the treating vet for the real Casey's Shadow.
Meanwhile, 2014 Horse of the Year California Chrome is destined for Hollywood. Not only is he a Nags to Riches hall-of-famer with a Kentucky Derby win, he's from California! The horse who never should have made it to the Derby is in England right now, preparing to run at Royal Ascot. Will we see cowboy hats in the owners enclosure this year? Will the Queen declare herself a Chromie?
(Watch the trailer below for Dark Horse in British theaters.)
So it would be easy to pat Dark Horse on the head for its colorful characters and move on. Surely the horse wants to win for this less-than-affluent syndicate of owners in a down-and-out Welsh mining village. They pool their resources to breed a mare so rank that jockeys refused to ride her. The resulting foal was raised in an "allotment", a public-portioned space usually reserved for a vegetable garden or a chicken coop. Except this one was built on top of a coal mine's slag heap, and was far from what you'd call an ideal place to raise any horse, let alone a racehorse.
But this horse isn't running just for them. And each of them has a different reason for being involved with the horse. Most readers will identify with the ringleader, bartender Jan, who had previous success breeding racing pigeons and whippets. If her whippets made it best-of-show level at Crufts (the most prestigious dog show in Great Britain), how much harder could it be to raise a winning racehorse?
Jan is the epitome of the invisible horseowner. Like most of us, she doesn't drive a luxury car, she doesn't wear designer riding clothes, and she doesn't ride in a $2000 saddle. She works two jobs and takes car of her aging parents. Later, she would tell reporters that raising the foal and going to the allotment to care for it helped keep her sane. The foal took her mind off her problems. And helped her dream.
Yes, even the key word in the horse's name, "Dream" Alliance, was a perfect thread to weave between the owners. Each had a different dream and each was looking for something outside him- or herself to be expressed through a beautiful, fast, or winning racehorse.
And they found it.
The story could have been just that, but it was so much more when the horse was injured. The severed tendon could have--and should have--ended Dream's racing days but the jockey jumped from the saddle and grabbed the leg. Dream, having been handled like a puppy since he was born, was obedient and calm, and stood quietly on the racecourse as the screens were raised around him. Normally, this signals that a horse will be put to death.
But Dream went to the University of Liverpool for emergency surgery and then on to the Royal Veterinary College, where Professor Roger Smith performed what was experimental stem cell surgery, at that time. For the owners, it meant investing all that they had won to save their horse.
Dream Alliance went into the record books as one of the first racehorses to successfully return to racing after stem cell surgery. In addition, he won a prestigious race and went on to start in one of the most famous and richest races in the world.
Credit: Royal Vet College Professor Roger Smith, equine orthopedics, performed stem cell surgery on Dream Alliance before the horse won the Welsh National.
If you'd looked closely, you would have seen Professor Smith on the red carpet at the movie's premiere last week. Yes, he's in the film.
Here's the part of Dream Alliance's story you won't get from the film:
As a result of experimental surgery with stem cells on equine soft tissue ten or more years ago, advances have been made in human surgery. A study published in 2014 in the British medical journal The Lancet credits Dream Alliance's surgery with paving the way for Achilles tendon surgery in humans. The Autologous Stem Cells in Achilles Tendinopathy study (ASCAT) should be applauding loudly from the balcony at every showing of Dark Horse.
So, in a way, it's as if we all owned a share in Dream Alliance, who is still very much alive and well and living in a field in England. We are all his beneficiaries, as are medical and veterinary science.
The next time you're at the racetrack or watching a race on television, and you see a big crowd of people in the winner's circle after a race, you will remember Dream Alliance and his owners, after you see this film. There are 101 reasons to own a horse, and some of them make absolutely no sense except to the person who knows or believes that it is the right thing to do at this time in that person's life.
Maybe all they have is "a tenner a week" to invest. And for some horses, that might be enough.
Dark Horse debuted at the Sundance Film Festival this winter, where it won the Audience Choice award. Director Louise Osmond admitted to relief when the film was received so enthusiastically by US viewers, in part because of the way the working-class owners held their own against the millionaires whose horses were beaten by their backyard-bred Dream.
Jan told CNN that, for her, the Dream experience was about not putting off your dreams. "It would be horrible to grow old with regrets," she told the network. "It's better to try and fail than never try at all."
I wonder if I'm the only one who wonders what she took on next. I wish I knew. But I do know that she--and all the Dream Alliance syndicate--deserves a seat in the box at Royal Ascot in June with the owners of California Chrome. They come from the same tribe. They dreamed the same dream. They beat the same odds. I think Jan Voke and Perry Martin would have a lot to talk about.
Please, someone get them together. And make sure they toast Professor Smith and the advances in veterinary medicine that quietly save horses like Dream Alliance every day.

Q: Flutter - Detect when finger enter in a container In my interface I have a row of containers like this
.
The idea is that when I pass my finger on these containers, the one under my finger gets bigger (and other changes but that's not the point).
I know how to use GestureDetector and get it bigger when I tap on the container with "onTap". But if you keep your finger down and drag it to another container nothing change. Idealy I'd like to be able to detect when the user pass his finger hover a container while touching the screen.
Appreciate if someone can advise. Thank you in advance!

Staff photo by Cathy CramerA resident shares information on Feb. 14 at the Morris Goodwin School regarding the telecommunications problems on the western side of Cumberland County.
— State Board of Public Utilities (BPU) commissioners decided unanimously on Monday to launch a review of telecommunications service in Greenwich Township, Stow Creek Township and western Cumberland County to determine whether Verizon is meeting performance standards agreed upon by the company.
Sen. Jeff Van Drew, Assemblyman Matt Milam and Assemblyman Nelson Albano (all D-Cape May, Cumberland, Atlantic) pledged their support on Tuesday regarding BPU's decision.
As part of the review process, the BPU will hold a hearing in Cumberland County, according to the order issued by the BPU on Monday.
at the Morris Goodwin School in Greenwich, which was organized by Van Drew and attended by state BPU officials and Verizon representatives.
"I appreciate that BPU officials who attended the meeting took the information they received and reported back to the board on how truly underserved Greenwich, Stow Creek and western Cumberland County have been," Van Drew said.
Van Drew, Albano and Milam have been working with Greenwich Township officials, as well as officials from the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities and Verizon, in an attempt to facilitate upgrades to the township's telecommunications infrastructure to improve problems the township is having with reliable interference-free conventional telephone, with high-speed Internet access and with mobile phone and wireless broadband coverage.
The legislators said they will work with the BPU and municipalities in western Cumberland County to organize an appropriate time and location for the hearing, and all three are expected to attend and testify at the forum.
In addition, Van Drew said Tuesday he plans to schedule a meeting with the president of Verizon New Jersey in advance of the hearing in an attempt to formulate a plan to correct the lack of basic quality in landline, cellular and broadband service in the area.
Albano acknowledged that the lack of these services in the area has caused enormous frustration for residents.
"It is my hope that the action taken by the BPU is the first step in a collaborative effort to provide better service for people living in western Cumberland County," Albano said.


This Yeriappa recipe is a sweet appam recipe. Yeriappa is a part of festival foods, navaratri (navarathri) recipes, made during dasara festival in Karnataka.
Yeriappa is made on the ninth day of dasara, the saraswati pooja day as an offering to Saraswati, the goddess of knowledge.
The ten day festival dasara - dussehra is celebrated with fervor in Karnataka.
Apart from the 10 day doll arrangement made in most homes, it is celebrated as a state festival. Many cultural events, competitions, exhibitions, games are held. It is a mixture of both religious as well as social gatherings.
Yeriappa is made using rice and fresh coconut. Jaggery(molasses) is added as a sweetener.
Given below is one traditional simple and easy yeriappa recipe.
Salt (optional) - a pinch.
Wash rice well. Soak rice in water for about 1 to 2 hours.
After one hour, remove water from rice.
Put the rice in the mixer along with coconut and jaggery.
Add cardamom powder and grind to a fine paste. Add a little water to get a thick batter(like idli batter) while grinding. The consistency of the batter should not be very watery but should be pourable from a spoon.
Heat Oil in a deep kadai or a pan. Once oil is heated, keep the heat medium.
Take a tablespoonful of batter and pour it into the Oil. It will spread by itself into a circle.
Put 4-5 spoonfuls this way into the oil. After a minute turn the yeriappa.
Fry until they turn golden brown. Drain well and remove on a absorbent paper towel.
Deep fry all the yeriappa in the same way.
Yeriappa tastes good when it is hot but it is good the next day too. This will keep good to eat for 2-3 days without refrigeration.
For variation you can add some tuvar dal, aval(poha- beaten rice - rice flakes).
Yeriappa is similar to uniappam, appam from Kerala recipes.
Mashed banana may be added to this batter to give it a banana flavor.
If you want to avoid the deep frying, you may shallow fry yeriappa in a appam pan if you have it. These appam pans are available in iron, cast iron and nonstick varieties.

Oncology Pipeline Bustling, But Value Concerns Lead to Increased Payer Scrutiny
Wayne Kuznar
August 2014, Vol 5, No 6 - AVBCC 2014 4th Annual Conference
Los Angeles, CA—Targeted therapies have dramatically increased their share of global oncology sales over the past decade. But concerns over value have led to more payer scrutiny of targeted therapies and other oncology drugs, suggested Doug Long, Vice President, Industry Relations, IMS Health, at the Fourth Annual Conference of the Association for Value-Based Cancer Care.
These data come from the IMS Institute study on cancer care between 2003 and 2013. For most cancers, "the survival rate is improving as detection and treatment improve," said Mr Long. But many of the improved outcomes come from a variety of things. "In our study, 23% of the improvement was attributed to behavioral changes, 35% is due to screening, 20% to advances in treatment, and the remaining 22% to other factors," he said.
Oncology Drug Spending
"Oncology is what we spend the most on in the United States," said Mr Long. Global spending on oncology drugs has increased from approximately $40 billion in 2003 to approximately $90 billion in 2013. So the spending on oncology drugs has more than doubled in 10 years. Spending on cancer drugs in the United States is projected to reach $74 billion to $84 billion in 2017.
Global spending in oncology therapies has grown much faster than that for other therapeutic categories, but global growth for oncology spending has slowed since 2008, to <10% annually. In the United States, the annual growth rate in oncology drug spending has been 3.5% over the past 5 years, reaching $37 billion in 2013.
Approximately 41% of the global oncology spending was in the United States in 2013 compared with 43% in 2008. The global oncology business in Europe declined from 27% to 24% over this same time, which Mr Long attributes to a lower likelihood to approve new cancer drugs, because government bodies there rely more on comparative effectiveness research and real-world evidence.
The Oncology Pipeline
The IMS data document that the share of targeted therapies in oncology has quadrupled in the past 10 years, from 11% in 2003 to 46% in 2013.
"Oncology is the biggest area for development," Mr Long said. Of the 6234 drugs in the pipeline, approximately 33% of them are cancer therapies, and more drugs are currently being developed for cancer than for other clinical categories.
"The majority of the new molecular entities approved for cancer over the past decade has been nonbiologics," he said. We are going to see more nonbiologics coming to market in the future. Although many pharmaceutical companies are seeking approval for their drugs using the breakthrough therapy designation, the FDA has granted approval to only 26% of them, and an additional 18% of drugs are awaiting a decision. Of these drugs, 34% are in oncology.
Drugs for lung cancer are "far and away" the largest oncology category in phase 2 clinical trials. There are limited alternatives and high unmet needs for agents to treat bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, and melanoma, although the latter category has gotten more crowded with immune therapies recently.
Focus on Value Increases Cost Concerns
Changes in the structure of the US healthcare delivery are having an impact on cancer treatment site of care, reimbursement, and patient out-of-pocket costs. Physician practices are becoming larger. Care covered by the 340B Drug Pricing Program has expanded its presence in oncology, resulting in a shift in patient care from physician offices to hospital outpatient facilities.
"The number of oncologists in the US through 2012, particularly medical oncologists, continues to rise." However, the rest of oncology, "radiology oncologists, pediatric oncologists, gynecological oncologists, surgical oncologists, those numbers are relatively flat," according to Mr Long, and this will affect value.
The higher infrastructure costs and overhead for the delivery of care incurred by hospitals means that their reimbursement levels for the administration of drugs are higher than the levels for physician offices.
For infused or injected targeted therapies, reimbursed costs for hospitals are at least double those for physician offices and have brought sharply higher costs to payers over the past 2 years. These higher costs are associated with greater out-of-pocket costs for patients. The higher copays decrease therapeutic adherence, driving up the total cost of care, he said.
Payers have intensified the scrutiny of the value of cancer medications versus their incremental benefits, largely because the average cost for a branded cancer drug is now approximately $10,000 monthly. The additional value of targeted treatments for individual patients is difficult to judge, because of a high variability in patient response, frequent changes in protocol, and variability in patient care.
Newly launched treatments are typically associated with 2 to 6 months of incremental overall survival. In the European Union, the trend is toward lower list prices at the time of launch compared with US list pricing, and European markets have other discount mechanisms.
"The ironic thing is that most of these drugs are developed here, and they're more expensive here than they are in other places," Mr Long said. "It's because the other places use a lot of different techniques to contain or evaluate these drugs."
Biosimilars The impact of biosimilars and "nonoriginal" biologics is growing, as patent protection is expiring. In developed countries, however, the potential role of biosimilars will be limited by the expected introduction of patent-protected innovative drugs that will displace older, off-patent drugs. By 2020, biosimilars are expected to generate $6 billion to $12 billion in oncology sales globally.

Managing Cancer at the Workplace Enhances Productivity, Has Value for Employers
Los Angeles, CA—It is a good business decision to invest in better cancer management for employees with cancer, according to Lillie D. Shockney, RN, MAS, University Distinguished Service Associate Professor of Breast Cancer, Johns Hopkins Breast Center. This type of effort can maximize the productivity of employees with cancer or cancer survivors and reduce the work-related impact on coworkers, said Ms Shockney at the Fourth Annual Conference of the Association for Value-Based Cancer Care.

Now that school is back in full swing, your child may have recently joined a soccer team, whether it be at school, in a recreational league, or in a competitive league. But, what if they've never played soccer before? A lot of other kids are in that same boat, but you can do research and take part in preparation so your child doesn't look like an amateur when he or she steps onto the soccer field. You may think that understanding the tactics is the most important part of the game, but it's really the commitment to soccer and understanding the basics that will allow your child to flourish in this new sport. Here are some tips to help your new soccer player start on a high note.
Increase Your Speed of Play.
Speed of play, or playing quickly, is an important fundamental that most professional soccer players have down pat. It's one of the biggest separators between amateur and professional soccer players. Quick decision making and fewer touches can bring your game to a new level.
Work Harder Off the Ball.
If you want to be an effective playmaker, then you must be willing to work hard off of the ball. You definitely want your movement off of the ball to be as strong as your movement on the ball. You'll want to strategically move, even when you don't have the ball, around the field.
Many soccer players are hesitant to pass the ball forward or to dribble the ball in a forward direction because they don't want to lose possession. But, in order to get big rewards, you must be able to make big risks. Don't force the ball forward if you don't need to or if there are no options.

Q: How to make asp textbox empty by JavaScript I have got a problem with making textbox empty using JavaScript function.
If checkbox is unchecked the asp:Textbox should make disabled and empty.
It happens, but in code behind all the time is visible previous value which was entered before in that textbox.
<asp:RadioButton ID="radio_fx_no" runat="server"  Text="NO" GroupName="optradio1" onclick="CheckBoxChangedDisableFx(this);" />

<asp:RadioButton ID="radio_fx" runat="server"  Text="YES" GroupName="optradio1" onclick="CheckBoxChangedAbleFx(this);" />

<asp:TextBox ID="txt_fx" ClientIDMode="Static" runat="server" Enabled="false" />

<script>
function CheckBoxChangedAbleFx(checkbox) {
    if (checkbox.checked == true) {
        document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').disabled = false;
    }
}
function CheckBoxChangedDisableFx(checkbox) {
    if (checkbox.checked == true) {
        document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').value = "";
        document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').disabled = true;
    }
}
</script>

Any ideas what is wrong in my code?

A: This problem is called the Cacheing the browser data. You can try three things in this case:
1) Clear value of textbox in pageload event at every postback:
if (IsPostBack)
    {
        txt_fx.text = "";
    }

and in your aspx code make text="":
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_fx" Text="".../>

2) Set AutoComplete property of textbox to off for html input
or disable autocompletetype property of asp textbox
<asp:TextBox ID="txt_fx" autocompletetype="disabled".../>

3) or Set AutoComplete of your FORM tag of your page to "off"
If you want to clear actual value of textbox on server side without postback then you need to use AJAX.
Hope it will help you..!!

A: in .cs file,Page_Load method,plus such code:
if(!Page.IsPostBack)
{
    radio_fx.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return CheckBoxChangedState(this,false);");
    radio_fx_no.Attributes.Add("onClick", "return CheckBoxChangedState(this,true);");
}

and in .aspx file,change as follows:
<script type="text/javascript">

    function CheckBoxChangedState(checkbox, state) {
        if (checkbox.checked == true) {
            document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').value = "";
                document.getElementById('<%= txt_fx.ClientID %>').disabled = state;
            }
        }

<asp:RadioButton ID="radio_fx_no" runat="server" AutoPostBack="false"  Text="NO" GroupName="optradio1" />
<asp:RadioButton ID="radio_fx" runat="server" AutoPostBack="false"  Text="YES" GroupName="optradio1"  />

'Wild Tales' Film Review
Holly Flynn — June 18, 2015
They say revenge is a dish best served cold, and in the case of the the new Argentinean film Wild Tales, that can be damn cold indeed.
It's a blacker than black comedy about six stories looped together under the theme of vengeance. It was one of the most buzzed about films at last year's Cannes Film Festival, and it was also director Damián Szifrón's third feature. An avenge anthology, the film is part comedy part drama, and frequently weaves the two together in a messy and often ridiculous manner.
Each story in this hilarious compendium is a cathartic exploration of the pressures of the modern world, and as far as current foreign firms are concerned, is unparalleled in its entertainment value and dark wit. Never before has a film about love, deception, tragedy, and even violence, been so satisfying, as the inevitable result of losing complete control climaxes in each story to outrageous heights.
The collage of coincidence kicks off 30,000 feet in the air with a plane full of passengers in 'Pasternak'. Smalltalk turns to terror when everyone onboard realises they have a connection to a failed musician (whose surname is the episode title) who turns out to be flying the aircraft. You have to take into consideration that this scene was done and dusted well before the tragic Germanwings crash disaster earlier this year, and although mental illness and high flying is no laughing matter, this snippet of script is extremely well written and delivered.
Next on the agenda is 'The Rats' featuring a roadside diner waitress Moza (doe-eyed Julieta Zylberberg) who discovers that her boorish and bullish late-night customer (César Bordón) is the man who ruined her life. Detailing the list of wrongdoings he inflicted upon her family when she was younger to her frightening boss Coiner (an ex-inmate and cook played wonderfully deadpan by Rita Cortese) tries to convince her to put rat poison in his meal. What follows is a terrific and terrifying tussle for revenge and forgiveness – and hot chips, of course.
One of the most full-on stories is the road rage segment entitled 'The Strongest'. When flash businessman Diego (Leonardo Sbaraglia) overtakes a slow motorist on a country highway and calls his a "damn redneck" he doesn't anticipated the dangerous and doomed dance the two will later play in a fight to the death. Flannelette and crowbar toting Walter Donado is heart-racingly good as the angered driver who'll go to extraordinary lengths to terrorise his assailant.
Next up, a man takes revenge on Buenos Aires' draconian parking regulations by staging a spectacular act of protest – 'Little Bomb'. Simon (Ricardo Darín) is a mild-mannered engineer whose wife is fed-up with for his lack of punctuality when it comes to family events (i.e his daughter's birthday). Following a heated dispute with a towing company, Simon utilises the only skill he has to make a statement and win but the respect of his family, and his city.
The second-last instalment 'The Proposal' is of a much darker nature than the previous four. A wealthy man attempts to convince his groundsman to take the rap for a crime he didn't commit. When the son of a wealthy man kills a pregnant woman in a late-night hit and run, his father concocts an elaborate plan to make their loyal groundsman take the rap. Argentinean veteran actor, author and theatre director Oscar Martinez is wonderful as the troubled and protective dad, emitting just the right amount of madness and mutiny Wild Tales demands.
In the style of the debaucherous 1987 American film Fatal Attraction, 'Until Death Do Us Part' is a rancid romp through a botched wedding day. When gorgeous brunette bride-to-be Romina discovers that her new husband Ariel (a face punch worthy Diego Gentile) has been cheating on her, she takes him and the rest of their wedding brigade on an emotional roller coaster of hospitalising heights. Actress Erica Rivas steals every scene in her bloodstained wedding dress, shaming but also re-seducing her cheating beau in front of family and friends. Let's just say a bouquet and wedding cake have never looked so dangerous!
Wild Tales is essentially a tongue-in-cheek social satire masquerading as cinema. It starts off with a bang, and each tale gets slightly longer, but also slightly less interesting than the next ('Until Death Do Us Part' being the least enjoyable because the ending lacks the same sting in the tail as the rest). Overall, Wild Tales is beautifully shot and balanced for maximum suspense meets spoof action, with an eccentric tapestry of colourful characters that will tug at your heart strings one minute, and punch you in the gut the next!
Wild Tales is in its final weeks at Cinema Nova

Misuse of private information constitutes a serious limitation on free speech. Everyone, including celebrities and other public figures, has a right to protect their private information. Whether the media can publish private information about an identifiable individual, without their consent, will depend upon an 'intense' scrutiny of the facts. The court decides where the balance is to be struck between the competing rights, Articles 8 and 10, by considering each item of information (including any photograph) to determine whether its publication is 'proportionate'.
Media organisations, making decisions every day about what to publish, in books, articles and television programmes, have to try to second-guess what a court might think about the inclusion of any private information, particularly when there is a risk of an injunction.

Q: WP-ecommerce ajax error wpsc_ajax not defined I've got a problem with my WP-ecommerce plugin (3.8.12.1) in wordpress. My add to cart button refreshes the page. I'm getting an javascript error:
Uncaught ReferenceError: wpsc_ajax is not defined in wp-e-commerce.js on line 275:
jQuery.post( wpsc_ajax.ajaxurl, form_values, success, 'json' );

This means my jquery.post is not performed and a normal post action is performed. I am not sure when this problem started to occur but I think it was when I installed w3 total cache (a wordpress cache plugin). Does anybody know where wpsc_ajax is defined or what the actual problem might be? Any help in the right direction is appreciated, I'm kind of stuck!
Cheers,
Adnan

A: I ended up just replacing the ajax url with the path to the '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php' worked out fine

Q: Python/Tkinter root window background configuration I'm trying to create a root window with a black background to blend with my button backgrounds.
I have the following:
class Application(Frame):
    def __init__(self, parent):
        Frame.__init__(self, parent)
        self.parent = parent
        self.initUI()
...

    def initUI(self):
        self.outputBox = Text(bg='black', fg='green', relief=SUNKEN, yscrollcommand='TRUE')
        self.outputBox.pack(fill='both', expand=True)
        self.button1 = Button(self, text='button1', width=40, bg ='black', fg='green', activebackground='black', activeforeground='green')
        self.button1.pack(side=RIGHT, padx=5, pady=5)
        self.button2 = Button(self, text='button2', width=20, bg='black', fg='green', activebackground='black', activeforeground='green')
        self.button2.pack(side=LEFT, padx=5, pady=5)
...

def main():
    root = Tk()
    root.geometry('1100x350+500+300')
    root.configure(background = 'black')
    app = Application(root)
    root.mainloop()

But root.configure(background = 'black') isn't changing the root window's background color... any suggestions?

A: This works (Check how parent root is referenced):
Edit: I edited the code and figure to make clear where colors are set:
from Tkinter import *

class Application(Frame):
    def __init__(self, master=None):
        Frame.__init__(self, master)
        self.parent = master
        self.initUI()

    def initUI(self):
        self.outputBox = Text(self.parent, bg='yellow', height= 10, fg='green', relief=SUNKEN, yscrollcommand='TRUE')
        self.outputBox.pack(fill='both', expand=True)
        self.button1 = Button(self.parent, text='button1', width=20, bg ='blue', fg='green', activebackground='black', activeforeground='green')
        self.button1.pack(side=RIGHT, padx=5, pady=5)
        self.button2 = Button(self.parent, text='button2', width=25, bg='white', fg='green', activebackground='black', activeforeground='green')
        self.button2.pack(side=LEFT, padx=5, pady=5)

def main():
    root = Tk()
    app = Application(root)
    app.parent.geometry('300x200+100+100')
    app.parent.configure(background = 'red')
    app.mainloop()

main()

A: Its 'bg' not 'background' in the .configure line.

TRUE Linkswear Gets $11.25M in Funding from KarpReilly
Blake Peterson
Tacoma-based golf footwear brand TRUE linkswear announced earlier today that it raised $11.25 million in funding from the Connecticut-based KarpReilly to foster the growth of its business and brand globally.
KarpReilly is a private investment firm. Its primary mission is to partner with high-quality small-to-medium-sized consumer growth companies to help them with long-term goals, according to the firm.
"KarpReilly shares our vision for the current and next generation of golfers, has a track record of supporting successful brands, and will help take TRUE to the next level," TRUE linkswear CEO Jason Moore, who was featured in South Sound Business' 40 Under 40 2020 cohort, said in a prepared statement. "More people are learning, playing, and getting involved in golf than ever before while core golfers are logging a record number of rounds. Regardless of experience and skill level, they're looking for shoes that are innovative, comfortable, and versatile."
According to KarpReilly co-founder Allan Karp, golf is attracting a newer and younger demographic that is seeking more versatile golf footwear that can be worn in a variety of places.
"TRUE has clearly demonstrated it can design and innovate an impressive portfolio of shoes and that it can also market them to this new younger customer segment," Karp said in a prepared statement. "We are proud to be partnering with TRUE on this investment and look forward to its continued growth as it expands its business in the US and around the world."

More than 170 players will be in Franklin County for the 2018 Amateur World Doubles disc golf championships April 5 through 8.
This is the sixth year for the tournament to be played in Franklin County.The players will be registering in downtown Mount Vernon on Thursday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Century Room. Higher than usual traffic is expected as the teams travel along Hwy. 37 between the two ranches throughout the weekend. See the April 5 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald more information.


Hi, now it should be running again.
What was wrong the first time?
Hi, the first time I looked in the wrong place, sorry.
Now it should be up and running. This time I started a test client that enters 1 order per second and I receive orders and trades on the private feed. It has now been up and running for 10 minutes.
It still doesn't work. Please note that the problems are in the PUBLIC feed.
Sorry again, I was looking in the private feed.
It looks like it disconnects exactly 30 seconds from the login (and it looks like the close down was initiated from the client - or the firewall).
If nothing arrived during that time we send a heartbeat. We had problems with the NasdaqOMX feed so the possibility that you got an heartbeat after 30 seconds is high (this can happen anyway in test since the volume might be low).
Can it be the heartbeat that is creating the problems?
If not I need to get help from the network/firewall guys to trace why the disconnect was initiated.
Well, now it work just fine again. In my logs it looks like my connection is closed after about 10 seconds, and as far as I can see, it was not initiated on my side. Maybe some network timeout or something?
It might be the firewall/VPN thingy since no part initiated the close down.
Let me now if it occurs again.

In case you didn't know, debugging in WordPress is essential. Not only does it save users from plugin conflicts and enormous headaches but it is a valuable learning tool to help you code more cleanly and efficiently.
Put any variable inside one of these two functions and see what it's made of. print_r() will even return a value. If you ever wonder what your code is doing (or why it doesn't work) this is a good place to start.
is a constant in your config.php file. Set it to 'true'in your development environment and 'false' in production. This will display both warnings and fatal errors. Warning are often due to uninitialised variables and conditions that don't have alternative else statements. A must if you are developing a theme or plugin!
So let's say you're debugging on a staging or a production server. You want to log any errors but you don't don't them to be visible as that would be ugly and also make your site more vulnerable. These guys are your friends. All you need to do is have this little snippet in your config.php file and your errors will be logged to a file named debug.log file that will be generated inside the wp-content directory. Please note that you actually have to have errors for this to work.
Some of this may seem obvious for tried and true php developers but for anyone new to WordPress theme or plugin development these can make the difference between code that throws errors (and uses memory to do so) and efficient application of code. WordPress debugging is also invaluable when trying to modify or use copied and pasted code.

CENTENNIAL, CO — The Cattlemen's Beef Promotion & Research Board (CBB) has named Gregory Hanes of Colorado as their new chief executive officer, effective June 17, 2019.
The Beef Board is a body which oversees the Beef Checkoff and works very closely with the USDA, state beef councils, contractors, beef industry leaders and cattle producers. As a result, the person who serves as the Beef Board's operational leader needs to function in many different roles and in many environments. According to Coffey, Hanes fits that description very well.
Hanes comes to the CBB from the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) in Denver, Colorado, where he most recently was vice president of international marketing programs, and he led the marketing team through global strategic planning processes. Hanes also served as the USMEF liaison to the beef industry and worked closed with a variety of national and state beef organizations. From 2006 to 2009, he was the director of the USMEF's Tokyo-based office, where he was responsible for all activities occurring in Japan. During his time as the USMEF Japan director, Hanes lived in Japan for nearly 11 years. Throughout his time overseas, he was the only foreigner in a Japanese company, and he held an additional position with responsibilities across Asia.
Hanes currently serves as the chair of the U.S. Agricultural Export Development Council (USAEDC), a group comprised of 80 U.S. commodity trade associations, farmer cooperatives and state regional trade groups from around the country, representing the interests of growers and processors of U.S. agricultural products.
In addition to a master's degree in international management with an emphasis in marketing from the Thunderbird School of Management at Arizona State University in Phoenix, Arizona, Hanes also holds a B.A. in economics from Colorado College. Hanes was born and raised in Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Just ordered a full spec, clicked most of the options (other than Tour Pack). I have chosen Navarra Blue and also the Red Magma Nappa Leather (looks great on the Audi configuration), but browsing the web the colour looks really bright. As the test drive had none in the colour, I thought I would go for this to try and show the car as its looks fairly understated. Anyone else gone for the red interior.
Theres a black one with a red interior in AutoTrader ATM - it's an incredibly bright red.
Thanks for this. The issue I have is that when I take a picture of my child's car seat which is also a red it looks completely different in reality vs the picture which often struggles with reds as they look over exposed and really bright! Eitherway I am stuck with this now and do feel it adds a bit of 'excitement' to the usual blacks I have had in the past...well that's what I am saying to myself!
mxnrg and q5man like this.
For al those who have bought a black interior..this is the only video I can find which has the red interior...don't believe it looks too over powering...if you overlook the American accent..
Red looks ok with the white exterior - with the blue, im not so sure - but its subjective / individual, so if you like it, go for it!
Thanks..I agreee but once inside the car there is limited colour from the outside and with the tinted glass I am hoping it will look rather good..(still trying to convince myself)..think it will be named Spider-Man car!
Another video with the Magma Red leather. Too bright for me, hats off to those brave enough to go for it!
The red seats are so much better than I had expected, please note that they are nowhere near as bright.
In addition I was the only car sold by the Audi dealership which had gone fro the red seats....not sure whether that is a good thing or bad thing!!!
q5man and mxnrg like this.
Navarra blue and magma red is a great colour contrast. You made a great choice, and your pic of the interior looks great.
Still getting use to putting so much fuel in it...longer term 22.5mpg..but just done 80 miles today and averaged 29.8mpg..rather pleased..
Hopefully as the engine beds in it will improve!

Fitbit has made Versa 3, Sense and Inspire 2 official
August 25, 2020 October 14, 2020 Ivan Jovin 1197 Views 0 Comments Smartwatch
Fitbit has announced today three new additions to its wearable tech lineup. They include Versa 3, Inspire 2 and a new device in the range called Fitbit Sense.
We reported on leaked images a week ago and it's now evident they were the real deal. Fitbit has released devices in the final week of August in the past couple of years and 2020 is no exception.
None of the wearables are available for purchase just yet, but you can pre-order them on Amazon. They all ship by September 25th.
We will most likely see the trio at IFA in Berlin next week. Europe's largest tech gathering is adopting a part online part physical event this year. Fitbit is a regular at the show.
So let's go through them one by one.
Starting off with an updated version of one of the most popular devices in Fitbit's range and the werable has retained the look from last year. To remind, Fitbit Versa 2 was only launched 12 months ago.
The main change design-wise is that, coming in at 1.58 inches, the display is slightly larger than before. This allows for 336 x 336 pixel resolution inside a 40mm case. Its predecessor has a 1.39 inch screen with a 300 x 300 resolution.
The physical button is now recessed, something along the lines on what you would find on Charge 4. But that's not the only thing Versa 3 shares with the popular fitness band.
Just like Charge 4, it comes with built-in GPS. This is a big step up as current devices in the Versa range only have Connected GPS which require your smartphone to tap into the satellite signal for location. Built-in GPS means you can go phone-free running or cycling.
It also gets the new PurePulse 2.0 sensor, so you'll get better heart rate data. This is an important metric and you want it to be as accurate as possible.
Battery life is around 6 days. The novelty here is the fast charging ability via the new magnetic charing dock. Only 12 minutes on the charger is enough to keep it going for a full day.
Finally, there's been a slight boost to the smart functionality. For the first time, a Fitbit device offers Google Assistant on the wrist in addition to Alexa. But don't be surprised if the latter is phased out when the Fibit Google deal finally gets the necessary regulatory approvals. The Google Assistant functionality is expected to arrive sometimes this winter, so following the launch next month.
Versa 3 (and other new wearables) can be pre-ordered now on Amazon. The latest addition to the Versa range will set you back $229 of Fitbit's website. That's $50 more than the previous model.
Moving on and we come to Fitbit Sense, the most exciting of the three new devices. A first in what perhaps is a new line of watches, Sense is a more powerful version of Versa.
It adopts largely the same design with curved edges. The difference here is that it has aluminium and more premium metal parts in the chassis. As far as the display, it is the same as the one you'll find on Versa 3.
The bigger upgrade are the sensors. It makes Sense a much more serious health tracker.
On the underside of Sense you see more than just an icon for built-in GPS and water resistance. Next to it are two more icons, one for temperature, the other a heart with a squiggly line going through it.
The first of these is a no-brainer. Fitbit Sense comes with the ability to keep tabs on your temperature. Readings are taken during the night and can be used as an indicator you are coming down with something.
This is an important upgrade that we have not seen from a major brand until now. There have been a few devices from lesser known brands that monitor your temperature from the wrist. Such functionality is all-the-more important considering the current coronavirus pandemic so might be a good selling point.
But that's not all. The device also has the ability to measure your electrodiagram. The Apple Watch has made headlines with its ECG sensor a couple of years ago but now other companies, such as Samsung and Withings, are getting in on the fun. To take a reading you'll need to place your fingers on the corners of the case. It's worth noting, this functionality is still waiting approval from the FDA.
Fitbit Sense comes with the upgraded PurePulse 2.0 heart rate monitor which is capable of spitting out heart rate variability (HRV data – the varation in the beats between your heart beats). The novelty here is that raw HRV data will, for the first time, be offered to Fitbit users. But you'll need a premium subscription for this.
The last health addition over Versa 3 is the ability to keep tabs on stress. Garmin and some other companies have had this for a while now, but it seems Fitbit is taking a more detailed approach.
Its stress score combines info from a number of sources including resting heart rate, HRV, temperature and more. This put together with info from an electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor (which reads moisture in the skin), into a single figure that ranges from zero to 100. The higher your score the less stressed you are.
All things considered, the $329 Sense (check price on Amazon) seems like a much more capable device as compared to Versa 3. It comes with plenty of additional metrics, and it would be fair to say that it has been a while since we've seen such a sizeable upgrade from Fitbit.
The final one in the bunch is Inspire 2. This one also adopts the "button-less" design. The $99 device brings 10 day battery life, which is double offered by its predecessor.
Other features worth mentioning include Active Zone Minutes, Cardio Fitness Level, Heart Rate Zones, Sleep Stages, Menstrual Health Tracking, Guided Breathing Sessions and more. Owners will get the benefit of a 12 month free trial to Fitbit Premium. Inspire 2 can also be ordered on Amazon and fitbit.com.

Woods hopes to avoid missing cut in consecutive tournaments for 1st time in 21 years
JOHN RABY
WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. - In its infancy, The Greenbrier Classic was friendly to first-time winners and re-energized the careers of veterans who had been stuck in a rut.
Tiger Woods will take anything positive at this point.
Woods failed to advance to weekend play in his only other appearance in West Virginia in 2012 and, starting today, will try to avoid missing the cut in consecutive tournaments for the first time in 21 years. In 1994, he failed to advance to the weekend in all three PGA Tour events he entered.
Woods, who's getting ready for the British Open in two weeks at St. Andrews, has broken 70 only twice in 16 rounds this season.
"I've gone through stretches like this," Woods said after his pro-am round Wednesday on the eve of the tournament on the Old White TPC course.
After posting the highest 36-hole score (156) of his pro career and missing the cut at the U.S. Open two weeks ago, Woods took his children to the Bahamas and enjoyed snorkeling.
"I didn't touch a club for a while," Woods said. "It was nice to have a summer break with them like that, especially after the way I played."
Bubba Watson wouldn't mind more rest after a grueling playoff win last week at The Travelers Championship. He admits sleep is high on his priority list.
"I'm tired," Watson said. "I'm worn out. Mentally, the energy level is just not there."
At least he gets to sleep in his own bed. Watson moved into a house built last year at The Greenbrier. His wife, Angie, played in his pro-am group Wednesday along with New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton and former NBA coach Mike D'Antoni.
Watson is the highest-ranked player in the field at No. 3 in the world. Others in the top 20 at The Greenbrier are J.B. Holmes (13), Patrick Reed (15) and Louis Oosthuizen (18).
This tournament, now in its sixth year, has a penchant for low scores and brings some extra incentives.
Stuart Appleby shot 59 to win the inaugural Greenbrier Classic in 2010. The tournament handed trophies for the first time to rookies Scott Stallings in 2011 and Ted Potter Jr. in 2012 and gave Jonas Blixt his second tour win in 2013.
Stallings and Blixt are back, along with 2014 champion Angel Cabrera and runner-up George McNeill. Cabrera's two-stroke win was his first in a tournament other than a major. McNeill learned after his round was over that his older sister, Michele McNeill, had died of cancer that day.
This year the top four finishers not previously eligible for the British Open will earn spots at St. Andrews, provided they are among the top 12 and ties.
Golf is only part of the attraction at the 6,500-acre Greenbrier resort, which welcomes tour families and advertises relaxed fun with its 721-room hotel, casino, spa and dozens of amenities.
Two weeks after his finish at the U.S. Open fell just short of catching Spieth, Oosthuizen was eager to get in some fishing at The Greenbrier and take his wife to the tournament's concerts featuring Keith Urban, The Band Perry, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton.
Call him a big country music fan.
"Oh yeah, I love it," Oosthuizen said.
The Greenbrier also was the playground of the late Sam Snead, who had a 47-year association as golf pro and pro emeritus. Snead holds the record of 82 career PGA Tour wins. Woods has been stuck on 79 since 2013, when he won five times.
While Woods' game may not be in top shape at the moment, his will remains strong.
"I would love to break his record," Woods said of Snead. "I mean, that's one of the hallowed records in our sport. Hopefully, I can get that done in the near future."


Fearing she'd be taken off the heart transplant list, Isabel Terry will now fly in style to her transplant surgery appointment.
A desperately ill woman from Co. Cork has been saved from a grueling 12-hour car journey by a big-hearted gesture from an Irish benefactor who offered a private plane to fly her to her heart and lung transplant appointment in Newcastle, England.
Isabel Terry, 42, is on the waiting list for a desperately needed double lung and heart transplant in the UK but the Irish Health Service Execute failed to provide her with an air ambulance to transport her to a vital appointment. Terry has been unable to fly on a scheduled flight in some years as her condition, pulmonary atresia, requires her to remain on oxygen 24 hours a day. Despite several pleas made by herself and the team in Newcastle for the HSE to provide alternative transport, Terry was facing a 12-hour journey by car and ferry to make her appointment next week.
"I would have needed to bring six liters of oxygen and I can't fly on a regular airline with six liters. It's classed as liquid and you can't bring much liquid on a flight," the Bishopstown native told a Cork radio station.
"I was talking to Newcastle (hospital) and every second day I'd ring and they'd heard nothing back and I suggested about a month or so ago about getting a ferry and they said 'absolutely no, it's far too long for you to do that'.
While concerned about the effects the long journey would have on her health and whether that would affect her chances of a transplant, Terry received a surprise call from a good samaritan who offered to fly her to the UK in a massively kind and big-hearted gesture. Having waited on the heart transplant list for 14 years already, the offer could even be life-saving as it places the 42-year-old one step closer to finally undergoing surgery.
"Then the other day I got a call, someone offered me a private plane. They want to stay anonymous which you understand and I'm going to Newcastle Monday evening," she continued.
"I've been deteriorating in the last two years and the Newcastle team hadn't seen me so it's very important for me to see them.
"I don't know, hand on my heart, on Thursday will I come out of the hospital and be told 'we have to take you off the list you're not well enough to the operation'.
And this wasn't the first time that Terry has been helped out in her efforts to get to the UK. Due to her condition, the Cork woman does not travel outside of Ireland regularly and so was dismayed when she discovered her passport was out of date when she heard about her appointment. She was full of praise for the Gradaí and the Cork passport office, however, for helping her to renew the travel document in a matter of hours so she was able to travel.

Amongst The Trees And Art In Cooran
Image source: Contributed
by Jolene Ogle
Nestled between three mountains is the creative community of Cooran and for the tenth year, the main street is about to come alive with brilliant artworks. Jolene Ogle finds out what to expect at the Tall Trees Art Exhibition.
Buoyed by a supportive sense of generosity and creativity, Cooran is the hinterland's best-kept secret. If you haven't discovered this cool and funky gem, then there is no better time to head to the hinterland than this July when the charming town will become a giant, interactive art gallery.
From a grassroots need for sharing their creative journey with others, an art group was formed. Tall Trees Art Inc. has been going strong for more than a decade with committed volunteers and artists helping bring the quiet main street alive with creative inspiration once a year.
The 2019 Tall Trees Art Exhibition is happening from 5-7 July with art-lovers and the curious able to meander along the main street taking inspiration from more than 90 local artists in almost 20 locations.
The exhibition started as a small festival in the local hall and now a huge range of paintings, drawings and other creative artworks in both 2D and 3D will be showcased.
Exhibition curators have taken full advantage of the quirky and charming buildings that line the main street, using them as an interesting backdrop for the many and varied works. Throughout the weekend you will be able to discover works down alleyways, hung against colourful walls and in gardens, shops, houses and community spaces.
Organiser Mia Hacker said the exhibition was all about local businesses supporting artists and artists supporting local business.
"We are local people loving our creative flair for expression and reason for sharing and coming together," she said. "Our exhibition is fully curated and a lot of thought and planning goes into the final presentation of works that provide an adventure for people to explore as they immerse themselves in all that makes Tall Trees Art Exhibition awesome!"
Opening Night for Tall Trees Art Exhibition will be held on Friday 5 July at the delightful Hinterland Restaurant Cooran (a Slow Food Snail of Approval recipient for its commitment to local produce) from 6pm and will launch into a weekend of unique local art on show throughout this beautiful hinterland town.
If you haven't visited Cooran before or if it's been a while, this is the perfect chance to explore an amazing town only moments from Noosa.
These are just some of the amazing local artists to be discovered as part of Tall Trees!
JIM MARTIN
Jim Martin's rapidly evolving style speaks of the flow of place and the desire to see beyond what initially
meets the eye. An education in ecology has set the tone for works that capture the interconnectedness of the natural world. Being largely self-taught, and accustomed to the pitfalls of experimentation, his images reflect the exciting process of discovery that an artists' formative years are. Jim was a finalist in the 2017 Queensland Young Artist Awards and has had work hung in group exhibitions in New South Wales and Tasmania. Kunyani is the start of an exploration of landscapes that call us to listen and learn. A combination of bold acrylic strokes and intricate layering has been used to convey the fluidity and cyclical nature of experiences of this landscape.
LEW BRENNAN
Lew's art is a reflection of the landscape and the people that surround his every day – it captures surviving, breathing and observing the rural life. An active and prolific artist, his art reflects the landscape and the people and is held in collections throughout Australia and internationally. Painting and drawing from the day he could hold a pencil and selling art by the time he was a teenager, Lew works in oils and charcoal with a passionate commitment to themes and scenes, and the people and animals that make up the art and soul of country life.
JANDAMARRA CADD
Yorta Yorta and Dja Dja Warung descendent, Jandamarra is an inspirational man with many stories to tell. With his vibrant and expressive portraitures, Jandamarra's work is emotive, insightful and a powerful medium to bridge the storytelling divide between Aboriginal and mainstream Australia.
For Jandamarra, paintings that focus on the human condition have been a way to seek a peaceful voice for unity. He uses a variety of styles and mediums blended with a traditional Aboriginal art technique and his own signature contemporary portraiture to create his unique works. Jandamarra has not only been a finalist in every major Portrait Art Prize in Australia but is also in very high demand as an inspirational speaker and ambassador. His latest painting of Olympic gold medallist and former politician Nova Peris (pictured) was recently entered into the Archibald Prize.
MICHELLE KURTH
Michelle has been busy for the past year working on her work A Dialogue With Colour 2:365, a follow-on from her first exhibition A Dialogue With Colour in 2017. Every day for a year, Michelle has woven a 5cm square. The culmination of the pieces will form her exhibition and become a comment on the connection between wellbeing and art. For Michelle, the practice was never about creating a masterpiece but started as a commitment to herself to express her thoughts and emotions through weaving.
DAMIEN KAMHOLTZ
Damien Kamholtz is a multidisciplinary artist who has developed a unique process of layering drawing and painting techniques that explore stories within stories, differing perspectives and hidden narratives. A single painting by Damien may contain up to 20 layers of imagery.
Damien is interested in a metaphoric and poetic visual language that speaks to the emotions rather than the intellect. Deciphering his paintings is an experience of tragic beauty.
For the past five years, Damien has been working with senior indigenous artists in Kakadu and remote western Arnhem Land in Northern Territory and for the first time at Tall Trees Art Exhibition he will share how this experience is influencing his practice now.
