As I was perusing Pinterest a while back, I saw this fort made from a card table. And pinned it. I have about 40,000 things on Pinterest that are awesome ideas and I'll probably never make. But this time I decided to make it for my two nephews, brothers, for Christmas.
I started doing the math for fabric, guessing amounts I'd need, and realized this was going to be a VERY expensive fort, even with cheap fabric. And then remembered the gal who made it said she used a sheet.
Off to Wal-Mart. I purchased two twin-sized sheets for $4.95 each. The pieces shaped in a manner that makes for a lot of waste, but you can't beat the price. And as they were twin-sized, I needed both. Sadly, the sheets being of unknown (probably lots of polyester) fiber content, the scraps are not going into my stash. But for this project, quality was not such a big concern. Actually, something with poly that will resist wrinkles when it's packed away is probably a better idea.
A few weeks ago I completed the majority of the work, but the hemming had been effectively procrastinated until today. Christmas is only 10 days away, so I'd better get going!
And last but not least, lighting!
These are the lights that you push and they go on. My hubby's idea and a very good one. I even made sure to stick them up with velcro in a way that if the batteries run out, they can easily be replaced!
All that's left are the flashlights we'll include to make this a perfect fort for two boys, ages 2 and 4.
All of the ties that hold things open attach inside, so once the boys are in, they have control of whether flaps are open or closed. When I was a kid, I think that would have made a difference if my mom had control of those flaps or I did, so I made sure to give the kids control.
I haven't been doing much sewing otherwise, but did purchase a new computer and spent most of yesterday getting it set up. Lots of little things to deal with there, but I'm very thankful for the internet, as much of my software was outdated, but I could easily download what was needed for the new operating system to be compatible with my printer, iPod, camera, etc.
Work is crazy busy, but it always is this time of year. We're not sure if it's because the farmers are in from the fields for the winter season, or if it's a year-end spend-the-extra-cash type thing, but whatever the reason, it's the same every year, so we're ready for it, even if it makes us exhausted by the time each day ends.
And with that, I believe it's time to go get the apple pie out of the oven and then maybe spend a little time with the hubby - he can watch football and I'll work on some hand sewing.
I'm sure the boys will love their tent. All those little extras, curtains that open and close, the window, the light and the opening at the door, will be enjoyed by a 2 year old and a 4 year old. You are such a good Aunt! This should provide lots of time pretending, kids don't get to do enough of that anymore. That apple pie sounds good, I made peanut butter kiss cookies today and am sewing the final touches on a baby quilt. Enjoy your day!
Lucky nephews :) Looks like an awful lot of fun to play with.
Katie that fort is just the cutest!!! I love the window and the light inside. You did such a great job. I am sure that poly will be more durable too for use with little boys. They are going to be so excited.
Hope the football/sewing is fun.
What a great idea for 2 little boys! I know they will have such fun in their new fort!
LOVE the tent & I'm sure your nephews will love it too!
I was just looking at one of those lights the other day that came with adhesive already on it - but changing the batteries required use of a screwdriver on the back side. If it had ever been stuck to anything - you'd never be able to replace the batteries.
What a cool "man cave"! I'm betting the kids didn't have to be looked for; they were probably there all the time! What fun! ---"Love"

Q: no captcha recaptch overlay not display entirely I put the no-captcha recaptcha in a popup (FancyBox), everything is fine.(recaptch1.PNG) But when the user click on the checkbox the captcha image overlay is not show entirely. (recaptch2.PNG).
My question, can we place automatically the overlay the manner the user can see the directive. (recaptch3.PNG) Or can we resize the overlay to fit the iframe in the popup so everything can be seen?
Any suggestion?

recaptch3.PNG

A: I think i found a solution. After a lot of search i have found this link: https://www.geekgoddess.com/how-to-resize-the-google-nocaptcha-recaptcha/
It's resize the container of the recaptcha V2, but not resize the overlay because google inject the overlay on the page not in the container. Because i have found that google inject the overlay on the page, I can now customize the overlay. So I use the technique on the previous link but I affect to the class "gc-bubbleDefault".
I add this in my css and this solve my problem:
.gc-bubbleDefault{transform:scale(0.82);transform-origin:0;-webkit-transform:scale(0.82);transform:scale(0.82);-webkit-transform-origin:0 0;transform-origin:0 0; 0}
It's a solution that don't work on all browser version (not old ie), but it's work for me.

CAR: a society without authority, where children's schooling suffers
A chicotte (a whip with rubber bands) lies alongside a teacher's materials in the CAR. Violence is common in classrooms. Author supplied
By Marieke Hopman
The news from the Central African Republic (CAR) is rarely good. The country has been involved in an on-and-off war for at least 20 years. It has been rated as having the lowest human development in the world. It is also the globe's second poorest and its unhappiest nation.
The CAR is a tough place for children, too. It's ranked as the worst country when it comes to protecting children's rights and has the lowest education achievement in the world.
On paper, children in the CAR have the right to access and pursue an education. The government has signed the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which enshrines the right to education. But the statistics show this right is not enacted: although research is lacking, it is clear that many children are out of school and that the quality, especially of public education, is so poor even those who finish primary school may not have learned basic literacy.
There is clearly a discrepancy between children's right to education according to international law and their lack of education in practice in the CAR. This could be explained by the fact that international law may be different to other laws, from other legal orders, which all create laws over the same social space in the CAR. For instance, NGOs, religious leaders, village chiefs and parents may enact their own version of what they view as "right" or "legal".
I discovered in a recently published study that children in the CAR generally do not take any of these social orders as authoritative when it comes to their education. Teachers are generally the only authority figure they seem to hold in some regard.
In fact, the CAR's children are mostly autonomous. They do not feel that anyone makes any law over them. They argue that it is their own choice to go to school – or not. Even if they are told to go to school, or are physically punished for not doing so, they feel they can choose not to. But they may also be the ones who insist on attending school, including collecting money for their own school fees, against their families' wishes.
My findings suggest that the most effective way to provide children in the CAR with access to education is to aim interventions at them directly. Rather than trying to convince parents, religious leaders and village chiefs that school is important, it may be valuable work with the kids themselves and empower them to be able to access education. Children may also be directly involved in creating better quality education. Another option might be to more actively involve the teachers, who are viewed by the children as legitimate authorities.
No rule of law
My key question was: "What laws, from what legal orders, have an influence on the child's right to education in the CAR?"
I researched the existing literature and conducted field research. I held qualitative interviews with 149 participants, among them 46 children. This data was supplemented by recorded observations and a questionnaire.
The findings should be understood in the broader context of daily life in the CAR: overall, it seems that there's little law. This is not just true for international and national law, but for any potential legal order. Neither the government nor local leaders seem to hold authority in a way that goes beyond the role of giving advice. People do not seem to feel obliged to follow the law.
On a local level, conflict resolution is traditionally the domain of the village chief. However, it seems that this has never been much of a legal arrangement. Rather, the chief has been sought out for his or her wisdom, to end conflict by giving advice to opposite parties on how to reconcile. He is a mediator with no legal authority, as scholar Didier Bigo has written:
The chief does not command, he has the function of a mediator, and uses his prestige to convince the opposite parties of his words and wisdom (…) the role of the chief is to be a mediator, a creator of peace (…) he has no decisional power (…) he has no authority.
This image was confirmed by participants to the study. While children in the CAR face a lot of violence from all kinds of authority figures – ranging from parents and school teachers to police forces and soldiers – they are mostly autonomous. They do not feel that anyone makes any law over them.
It is unclear whether this is a new development in the CAR, or whether this has always been inherent in the country's social organisation. According to a priest I interviewed, over the past 20 years "the mentality of people in the CAR has changed". He said:
Traditional values, such as solidarity within the family and patriotism, have largely disappeared. What used to be traditional authority does not weigh much nowadays. What remains, is an authority that imposes itself on different levels, through violence. This form of authority is badly accepted by the new generations.
This is the difficulty that we see: the new generations do not listen, and adults try to impose authority with violence. It is the only way they have of trying to make the youth listen. In this way, young people internalise violence, they grow up with this model. In CAR society it is everyone to themselves; either you impose your will on someone else, and when you cannot, you suffer to their dominance ('on s'impose où on peut et on subit où on ne peut pas s'simposer')
The only exception here is the classroom. Most children did view the teacher as a legislator. Teachers make rules over children, and children were able to mention rules that the teachers imposed on them, including punishments if transgressed.
Because of this relationship between teachers and students, working with teachers may be a good way to approach the "education for peace" goal set by the UN.
Some issues will need to be addressed. Violence, abuse and corruption – the selling of grades for money or sexual favours – are all too common in the CAR's schools.
But the existing authority in the teacher-student relationship could be harnessed more positively. CAR classrooms have the potential to be a space for children where they can learn a different way of living together.
On a more general level, anyone who is looking to strengthen the rule of law in the CAR might conclude that law is perhaps not the most useful instrument through which to intervene. Instead, strengthening the education system might be the most effective way to build a CAR society in which the rule of law plays a significant role.

I heard the TAL story too. It's just like everything: there's no substitute for the people on the front line caring.
Old Fremont: workers didn't care, cars were ****. New Fremont: workers (the same ones!) care, cars are good. Old Van Nuys: workers didn't care, cars were ****. New Van Nuys: all the trimmings, but workers didn't care, cars were still ****.
How do you make the workers care? I'm not sure. Firing a few of them might occasionally help, because sometimes it's the only to make it clear that management cares about producing quality products, too. But it's certainly not the answer. A terror culture doesn't lend itself to caring about the final product.
Adding Lean/Six Sigma/Total Quality/Management Fad of the Week certainly doesn't help, either. I've seen them all come and go. Everybody in the trenches can see that it's just another bull**** bureaucracy getting in the way. There's always going to be a point of decision, where there's a choice between caring about the product and paying homage to the FOTW. Choose to pay homage and you survive; care and you get reamed. It doesn't take long to learn that lesson.
Management: We care about quality. We've implemented a new quality initiative and established an entire quality organization to show how much we care about quality.
Engineer: I need a week that's not in the original schedule to figure out how to do this right.
M: We don't care that much about quality.
Pretty soon, you learn not to argue about it.


A disruptive smartphone app turned Uber into a $50 billion global juggernaut. Now a group of disgruntled Uber drivers, with the help of their own smartphone app, aims to kneecap the car-hailing service precisely when and where it will be most in demand: Super Bowl Sunday in the Bay Area.
Striking drivers reportedly intend to slow traffic near the stadium and inundate the streets around crowded Super Bowl events.
For Uber, the stakes are high. The big game is in Santa Clara, about an hour from Uber's San Francisco headquarters. The company has chipped in $250,000 to $500,000 in cash and services to sponsor the Super Bowl Host Committee, according to Quartz. In return, it gets to be the first ride-sharing service allowed to access a Super Bowl game. It will even have exclusive pick-up and drop-off zones at the stadium—a coup for Uber's marketing department, assuming the company doesn't fall on its face.
And that's where Uber's labor problems may come back to haunt it. The drivers, who often make less than minimum wage, are angry because the company slashed fares nationwide over the past month. On Monday, several hundred of them protested at Uber's offices in San Francisco and New York.
The group behind the San Francisco protest, United Uber Drivers, has pledged to hold a massive strike on Super Bowl Sunday, and some Uber drivers in other cities have said they will do the same in solidarity. According to the industry publication Ride Share Report, the drivers intend to slow highway traffic near the stadium and inundate the streets around crowded Super Bowl events in San Francisco.
But that might be easier said than done. With an estimated 40,000 Uber drivers in the Bay Area, the group will need a lot of downloads to mount an effective strike. Of course, people said the same thing about some startup's harebrained bid to defeat the taxi industry. Uber proved them wrong.
Your Cheap Uber Rides May Be Going Away. And That's a Good Thing.

Q: Upload image through form post I'm trying to upload an image through a multipart/form-data post and I'm using the code below. I'm only going to be uploading .jpg images.
The problem is that the image that is saved is not a valid image and it can't be viewed. It's also 200 bytes larger than the file I'm uploading so I assume I'm missing something here?
public class FileUploadController : ApiController
{
    public Task<HttpResponseMessage> PostUploadFile()
    {
        return UploadFileAsync().ContinueWith<HttpResponseMessage>((tsk) =>
            {
                HttpResponseMessage response = null;

                if (tsk.IsCompleted)
                {
                    response = new HttpResponseMessage(HttpStatusCode.Created);

    }

        return this.Request.Content.ReadAsStreamAsync().ContinueWith((tsk) =>

                requestStream.CopyTo(targetStream);
            }
        }
    }
}

Here's a simple form I'm using to post the image.
<form action="/api/postuploadfile" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
    Upload Image:
    <input type="file" id="imagename" name="imagename" />
    <input type="submit" />
</form>

Info about the image, before/after:
If I check the properties of the image I've uploaded then the Size on disk is the same as the original image, but the Size property is 200-205 bytes larger. That's always the case, no matter how large the image is I upload.
Here's part of the POST headers. I don't need to strip out the boundary part or anything?
Source

And some more headers...
Request Headers From Upload Stream

A: Actually you will need to parse the requestStream with some kind of multipart parser as discussed here in order to strip off the header:

*Reading file input from a multipart/form-data POST,

*Are there any multipart/form-data parser in C# - (NO ASP)

Jordan's King Abdullah II will visit Turkey on Wednesday on an invitation from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, with the potential for the USA plans to announce recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital on the agenda.
"Mr Trump, Jerusalem is a red line for Muslims", Erdogan said on Tuesday in a speech to lawmakers from his Islamic-conservative Justice and Development Party (AKP) in parliament in Ankara.
More recently, diplomatic ties ground virtually to a halt in 2009, when 10 Turkish nationals were killed during when the Israel Navy intercepted a protest flotilla meant to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza, imposed after Hamas took over the Strip in 2006. Turkey is a USA ally in North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, though it has seen its relationship with Washington suffer in the past year. Diplomatic relations officially resumed in June, 2016 when the Israeli government agreed to contribute to an global compensation fund for the families of the protesters, and to allow Turkey limited access to export humanitarian aid to Gaza.
If Trump did go ahead with the move, Erdogan said he would call a summit of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which Turkey now heads, in Istanbul. The Turkish premier also said he would call the Organization for Islamic Cooperation into emergency session in order to craft a joint front against a change in U.S. policy, which could become public as early as Wednesday.
Israel regards Jerusalem as its capital. Embassies of countries that have diplomatic relations with Israel are located mainly in Tel Aviv, Herzliya and Ramat Gan.
Bozdag added that the recognition would "destroy the peace process", saying that the issue of Jerusalem was the key to peace in the Middle East and the world.
US President Donald Trump, who is likely going to announce this week that US recognises Jerusalem as Israel's capital, will surely ruffle some feathers after he makes the controversial declaration this week in a speech.
She added that any action that could undermine the so-called two-state solution, which envisages an independent state of Palestine alongside the state of Israel, "must absolutely be avoided".
Reuters reported that Donald Trump is also expected to again delay his campaign promise to move the USA embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, adding that final decisions had not yet been made.
"This can become very, very explosive", he said.
According to the presidential press office of Turkey, the king's visit will mark the 70th anniversary of the start of diplomatic relations between Turkey and Jordan.
Jordan and Egypt, the only two Arab states to have a full peace deal with Israel, have warned sharply against the USA making such a decision, saying it endangers regional peace.
Israel has been making diplomatic advances of its own in recent years, courting nations in Asia and Africa once seen as ambivalent or antagonistic towards the Jewish State.
"Anything that escalates the crisis during these times is counterproductive", Gabriel said.

Майко́н Тиа́го Пере́йра ди Со́за, более известный как просто Майкон (; 14 сентября 1985, Рио-де-Жанейро) — бразильский футболист, выступающий на позиции полузащитника.

Биография
Майкон — воспитанник школы «Мадурейры», в основном составе которой дебютировал в 2003 году. Вскоре игрок отправился в аренду во «Флуминенсе», за который сыграл в разных турнирах 25 матчей и забил один гол. В 2005 и 2006 годах также отдавался в аренду — в «Бангу» и «Ботафого» соответственно.

С 2007 по 2009 год выступал за немецкий «Дуйсбург». Последний год контракта с этим клубом отыграл на правах аренды на родине за «Фигейренсе». После этого в 2011 году выступал за команду из Флорианополиса уже имея полноценный контракт.

С 2012 по 2015 год Майкон выступал за «Сан-Паулу», где был одним из ключевых игроков, действуя в середине поля в связке с Гансо. С «трёхцветными» завоевал Южноамериканский кубок в 2012 году, а в 2014 году занял второе место в бразильской Серии A.

В 2015 году перешёл в «Гремио» за 7 млн реалов, причём сначала, до конца года, выступал за «мушкетёров» на правах аренды. Майкон стал одним из лидеров «Гремио» и в результате получил капитанскую повязку. В 2016 году помог своей команде завоевать Кубок Бразилии. В первой половине 2017 года игрока часто преследовали травмы (хронический тендинит ахиллова сухожилия), из-за чего оставшуюся часть розыгрыша Кубка Либертадорес, который «Гремио» выиграл 29 ноября, обыграв в финале аргентинский «Ланус». Майкон сыграл в кубке только в двух матчах из десяти, на его позиции успешно выступал Мишел, а капитаном команды почти во всём розыгрыше был Педро Жеромел.

Выступал за «Гремио» до конца 2021 года.

Oops: Thunder and Grizz Both Show Up Wearing White
Good morning, and happy Pi Day! I'll have more on that later in today's post.
Meanwhile: Bizarre situation last night in Oklahoma City, as the Grizzlies and Thunder showed up for the opening tip-off wearing white uniforms. Crikey!
As you'd expect, the broadcasters had some fun with this one. But listen carefully to how they describe the situation:
Note that they said, "I don't think I've ever seen both teams come out with their home uniforms on" (emphasis added). But of course that's incorrect — there's no such thing as a home uniform (or a road uniform) in the NBA. Since 2017, the home team has been able to wear whatever it wants, and the road team has to wear something of sufficient contrast.
To avoid confusion, all the game-by-game uni matchups are pre-scripted and listed on the league's LockerVision website. And what did LockerVision show for last night? Glad you asked:
So the Grizzlies were the ones who screwed up. So they were the ones who got sent back to the locker room, where they changed into their blue uniforms.
Random thought: Maybe this type of situation could be avoided if the league adopted the highly radical concept of, say, having the home team wear white and the road team wear color. An outlandish idea, I know, but it might just work!
Kudos to the Grizzlies' social media staffer who posted this:
this is mad awkward @okcthunder 😂

The "Y" is for nowledge: Speaking of uni-related oops-es, Yale beat Princeton yesterday for the Ivy League men's hoops championship — and then ended up with an embarrassing typo on their postgame T-shirts. Yikes!
And that wasn't the only goof from that game. After the final buzzer, ESPN put up a graphic in which the Yale logo appeared to be peeling off the screen:
Double-yikes! When you throw in the Grizzlies/Thunder glitch, that's a lot of unforced errors yesterday. Maybe everyone was just discombobulated yesterday by the start of Daylight Saving Time.
(Thanks to Karl Witter for the ESPN screen shot.)
Pi Day: Today March 14, 3/14 — Pi Day. Before the Thunder and Grizzlies had their little white-on-white hiccup last night, my plan for today was to run a bunch of photos showing players side-by-side wearing No. 3 and No. 14. Simple, right?
But as I researched that post, I found that it's a lot harder than you might think to find photos of a No. 3 and a No. 14. It's easier in some sports than others, however, and there are some interesting nuances within certain sports. With all that in mind, here's what I learned while putting together what was originally supposed to be today's post, one sport at a time.
On the one hand, 3 and 14 are both fairly common uni numbers in baseball. On the other hand, baseball jerseys often don't have a number on the front (and almost never have them on the sleeves), so that cuts down on numerical exposure. Even worse, the players are usually spread out all over the field, so it's not all that common to have two players appearing in the same photo. But here are a few I came up with:
Footnote: I was hoping to include a Mets photo in this section, but No. 14 has been retired for Gil Hodges since 1972. "Maybe I can find a photo of him with Buddy Harrelson," I thought. And I did — sort of (with an assist from Tommie Agee's strategically placed forearm):
Football (NFL)
On the plus side, football jerseys have numbers on the front and back, plus the TV numbers, so there's plenty of numerical exposure. But there are so many football players on the field at one time that the odds of isolating two specific numbers in the same photo are low. Toss in football position-specific numbering rules and those odds get even worse. So it took me a lot longer than you might think to come up with these two examples:
Although the NFL loosened up its numbering restrictions last year, the NCAA has had those looser rules all along, so it was a bit easier to find photos that included defensive players:
I like the mix of TV number and front jersey number in this shot:
And I like how Penn State's lack of NOBs makes for a very "clean" numerical presentation in this shot:
I had a really hard time finding suitable hockey photos, mainly because the jerseys usually don't have a number on the front. These two were the best I could find (I do like how both numbers are tipped sideways in the first photo):
This was the most fruitful sport for finding 3/14 pics. There are very few players on the court at one time, they tend to be close together, the jerseys have numbers on both the front and back, and 3 and 14 are both very common numbers. Behold — an embarrassment of riches at both the pro and college levels:
Searching for standard pro soccer photos was fruitless, because the shirts don't have front numbers. I was about to give up, and then I thought, "Wait — what about the World Cup?" No uni ads there, so the shirts have front numbers. Bingo:
The car numbers are visible in just about any NASCAR photo. The problem is finding photos with two cars positioned just right. I managed to come up with these two:
I could go on, but you get the idea. So if you see any good 3/14 photos today, maybe you'll appreciate them a bit more. And if you see anyone cheating on social media by just grouping two separate photos together, now you'll know why — because it's much, much easier!
Meanwhile, over on the ice: Nice-looking uni matchup in yesterday's Heritage Classic in Hamilton, Ont., as the Maple Leafs wore their Toronto Arenas throwbacks and the Sabres wore a tasty retro-themed design. Tons of additional photos here.
Prior to the game, as the Leafs came out onto the ice, center John Tavares's pom hat didn't match the ones worn by his teammates:
Prior to that, both teams played dress-up. The Sabres dressed as the Flint Tropics basketball team from the movie Semi-Pro:
The Leafs, meanwhile, did the blue collar cosplay thing by showing up for the game dressed like steelworkers (because Hamilton is an old steel town):
Welcome to the Hammer 🔨@StelcoCanada | #HeritageClassic | #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/gGh3GAbAcU
— Toronto Maple Leafs (@MapleLeafs) March 13, 2022
(Thanks to L.J. Sparvero for the shot of Tavares's hat.)
Speaking of the Leafs: We all know the story of Maple Leafs owner Harold Ballard "complying" with the NHL's NOB requirement by putting blue lettering on the team's blue jerseys for two games in 1978. The nameplate shown above, from the jersey of right wing Alain Belanger, is purported to be a game-used relic from one of those games — first time I've seen anything like that!
The nameplate is owned by a Canadian collector named Todd Bargman. I've sent him repeated emails, asking to learn more about how he acquired the nameplate — no reply, unfortunately. But it's still interesting to see!
(My thanks to Matt Baldwin for bringing this one to my attention.)
Uni Watch Screening Room: Saw a really interesting movie the other night called Strawberry Mansion, a slightly trippy sci-fi comedy set in 2035. In this world, the government taxes items that appear in people's dreams, and the lead character is a dream auditor, who's going to assess several years' worth of another character's dream recordings. Along the way, he learns that the world's largest ad agency has figured out how to load people's dreams with ads and product placements — and that the person he's auditing has come up with a device that serves as a dream ad-blocker, much to the ad agency's displeasure. (There's a great bit where the character who serves as the ad industry's dream avatar tells the protagonist, "You don't even know what you want until I tell you to want it!" Sums up advertising pretty nicely.)
Obviously, this ad critique is catnip for me. But even without that aspect, it's a really interesting movie, and gorgeously shot. Among other things, it has so much green — green cars, green wallpaper, green clothing, green lighting, green reflections, green green green. A visual feast for a green-ophile like me!
The movie is also endearingly playful and fun (and not as over-the-top trippy as the trailer embedded above suggests). It's easily streamable and highly recommended.

Baseball News: Tigers 2B Kody Clemens was given No. 21 for spring training, the same number his father, Roger, wore for the Red Sox and Blue Jays (from Jerry Nitzh). … Speaking of uni numbers, free agent reliever Adam Ottavino, who has previously worn No. 0 for the Rockies, Yankees, and Red Sox, has reportedly come to terms with the Mets. No. 0 is once again available on the Mets' roster now that P Marcus Stroman, who wore that number last season, has moved on to the Cubs. … The Yankees famously don't allow their players to wear beards, but they don't mind beards in Photoshops of newly acquired players (from Mike Sgroi).
NFL News: Following up on two recent Ticker items, here's another NFL team that had a left-facing helmet graphic at midfield: the Falcons in 1983.
Hockey News: Canada's Sportsnet posted a video of a clay sculptor making a model of Maple Leafs C Auston Matthews (from Ted Arnold). … The PWHPA organized a Canada/U.S. post-Olympics rematch in Pittsburgh this weekend — most of both countries' women's Olympic rosters were PWHPA players. Since, unlike the national teams, the association is outfitted by Adidas, the teams wore jerseys with the PWHPA logo on the front that otherwise vaguely looked like white U.S. and black Canada jerseys (from Wade Heidt). … Also from Wade: Here are the masks for the OHL's Oshawa Generals' goalies for tonight's outdoor game in Hamilton. … Sled hockey is supposed to be a mixed-gender sport, aside from a brief men-only period in the 2000s, but in Beijing China's Yu Jing was only the third woman to compete on a Paralympic team.
Basketball News: Iowa's victory in the Big Ten men's final yesterday means both of its teams won their conference tournaments wearing their gold alternates in every game. … Both Memphis and Houston wore throwbacks in the men's American final yesterday (from Jim Vilk). … The Hornets appear to have given PG Isaiah Thomas an outdated uniform (from Josiah Brewster).

That included Albion's women's team and Sunderland's men's team. … Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur's women's team wore the same peace sign/Ukraine flag warm-up shirts that the men's team did last Monday. … The main ad on the Chelsea teams that played this weekend — senior men and women and under-18 men — was still there yesterday despite said advertiser requesting that it be removed on Thursday. That's surprising, especially since others with Russia-related ad changes removed or covered theirs fairly quickly. … In German soccer, Borussia Dortmund's men's team gave their ad a Ukrainian flag background and added a "Stand with Ukraine" hashtag. … Before a Frauen-Bundesliga game between Hoffenheim and Bayern Munich, the teams posed with a "Stop war — wir gegen Krieg" (we're against war) banner. … At yesterday's NHL Heritage Classic, Artur Cholach, a Ukrainian defenseman on the OHL's Barrie Colts, ceremonially dropped the puck. He wore a Ukraine men's national team jersey under his Colts jersey (from Brian Kerhin).

And that wasn't the only goof from that game. After the final buzzer, ESPN put up a graphic in which the Yale logo appeared to be peeling off the screen
For that matter, it was an old Yale logo; the current one (that is on the t-shirt itself), is the Yale "Y" with no bulldog. This is a recent change, so they can get a pass on that.
Steve D says:
I am surprised the logo peeling is even possible. I would have thought those type of graphics were all computer generated by now.
Jasper says:
Also interesting that in addition to "Bulldgods", the Yale t-shirt proclaims them to be the "Champion" instead of Champions.
Odd, but I guess not technically incorrect since each shirt is worn by only on individual at a time!
Special K says:
At first I thought it said "Bullgods," in which case I wondered if it was intentional. One way of declaring your status as champion. But then I saw the other d, which means it was just a mistake.
GBA says:
NYCFC-CF Montréal game also had the orange ball
Well, at least they spelled "Yale" correctly.
PaulS says:
Unless you go REALLY OLD school and spell it Yael, "strength of God".
Jeff Link says:
Once I got it in my head that the Sabres jerseys looked like the Rams dishwater it was all I could think about watching the game.
Solid pie day photos!
That Griz/Thunder mix up seems crazy to me, how did they even get to the point where they were getting ready for the opening tip before they realized it? I know that unlike other sports NBA teams are wearing warm up gear and their uniforms are often fully concealed prior to game time. But are you telling me nobody in the area picked up on white vs white problem until it was time for the tip off?
Also interesting that Memphis was the team that changed, I would have assumed they only packed one uniform set for travel to the game, whereas Oklahoma City would have their other uniform sets easily on hand in the arena.
Rob S UW+ STAFF says:
They just started a four-game road trip, and are scheduled to wear their whites in Atlanta on Friday and Houston on Sunday.
Love the Leafs' nameplate story; any chance to remind people of just why he was called Harold Bastard is a good one.
RICKAZ says:
"BULLGODS" could be the name for the next expansion team somewhere. Or does Yale now own the rights?
It wasn't even misspelled "BULLGODS"…it was "BULLDGODS" which is even more inexcusable.
Great post today! I can imagine how much effort that took scanning the images to find the right ones.
I was going to submit "sled hockey" as a typo of "sledge hockey", and then googled it, and it looks like Sledge Hockey is the Canadian term and Sled Hockey is the US term.
Here is a Pi Day photo of a famous moment.
Oooh, good one. I should have thought of that!!
Andrew Hoenig says:
Agee's elbow does come to a point, so that is the most accurate photo you could have found.
Actually the peeling Yale logo by ESPN is intentional, it's part of their college basketball graphics seen here at the 24:23 mark.
Ah, interesting.
Super find! That explains my earlier question about how this happened in the age of computer generated graphics. The next question is why even do this? It adds nothing to the graphic and is not even clever.
Chris Weber says:
Any idea why some of the Sabres players went all "Kriss-Kross" with those Tropics shorts? Hilarious. -C.
I'm surprised no one picked up on this yet, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa being traded to the Yankees, we will all be spared the sight of his name having to be put on the back of his jersey.
RobYaz says:
The PWHPA USA jersey is exactly like the old WHA Birmingham Bulls jerseys. Just add a circle around the skater and it would be a perfect match.
I think I'm OK with the Maple Leafs (Leaves?) coming to the stadium in "blue collar" look, given that the nickname for Hamilton is "The Hammer" and Hamilton is a blue collar town.
How did you even go about searching for the Pi Day photos? Did you Google players you know wear 3 or 14 and then see if there were photos of them with the necessary teammate? Fun little project!
In a few instances, I searched for specific players.
But Getty Images captions helpfully list the uni number of each player who appears in a given photo, with a number sign in front of it. So I did a lot of searching for "#3 #14 baseball," "#3 #14 basketball," and so on.
The signal:noise ratio was still pretty poor, but at least it was a starting point to narrow things down a bit.
Another Pi day NFL duo: Tony Canadeo and Don Hutson. Here they are with coach and a rogue number 51 in between: link
That's the thing, though — you can't have other numbers in between!
It's a very frustrating treasure hunt. I found SO MANY great photos that had the No. 14 on the left and No. 3 on the right. D'oh!
RSB says:
Kinda odd – in that Oshawa Generals goalie mask image there's a Huge CCM logo on the front of a paint design intended to replicate the old Cooper SK2000 helmet and mask combo:
Cooper provided all the CHL equipment back in that era.
Also intersting:
TN Hawkeye says:
Side note on Iowa's gold alts is they are two different sets. Note the side stripe vs non side stripe.
Mic says:
Interesting ticker item on the MLS orange ball. Of course it makes perfect sense, but I have never seen it at the pro level.
They do the same in NCAA lacrosse. It is a very common occurrence as they start their season in February and it is a very popular sport at schools in Upstate NY, New England & the Midwest/Great Lakes regions.


Hi guys. When I was working through the older Post (to turn them into pages), I decided to separate Lasher and his Host Ramon Hernandez into 2 separate pages. The reason is simply because I believe that the Host and the Symbiotes are 2 separate character. Evident to this is the fact that Venom and Eddy Brock talk to each other as does Flash Thompson, Cletus Kassidy and others. I will be doing this with all the symbiotes from now on. But don't just think it will be copied and pasted as I have rewritten the Ramon page with a separate storyline.

Spirit and CVS Health Donate $5,000 to Local Youth Organizations
by Mason Cavalier September 4, 2020
Jordan Small
Washingtonspirit.com
Boyds, Md., (9/4/2020) – The Washington Spirit are proud to announce that, in partnership with the club's official Health and Wellness Sponsor CVS Health, the club will be donating $5,000 to our partner non-profit organizations: Comfort Cases, Kids Enjoy Exercise Now (KEEN) Greater DC-Baltimore, Teens Run DC, Youth Leadership Foundation, DC Scores, Children's National Medical Center and St. Jude Children's Hospital.
The partnership between CVS and the Spirit reflects a shared goal of building healthier communities, with a focus on the health and wellness of women and underserved youth. Prior to the tournament, Spirit players expressed interest in establishing a donation program for the Challenge Cup to Spirit Majority Owner Steve Baldwin, with an emphasis on serving young, Black communities in the Washington Metropolitan.
"The most rewarding aspect of the work of the Washington Spirit is our work in the community," said Baldwin. "We are fortunate to have such wonderful community partners. Prior to the NWSL Challenge Cup, we announced that as an integral component of our work with CVS Health, that we would make donations to the YLF, Comfort Cases, KEEN Greater DC Baltimore, DC Scores, Children's National Hospital, and St. Jude Children's Hospital for each goal and shutout we achieved in Utah. Today we are fulfilling that promise and I thank our players and CVS for their service and commitment to our community."

Portland outshot the Giants 49-19 but ended up falling 4-2 to Vancouver on Wednesday night at the Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
Vancouver's Dawson Holt scored early in the first period to give the Giants the 1-0 lead. It remained that way until early in the second, when Reece Newkirk banged home a Lukus MacKenzie rebound to tie things at one. Late in the period, Ryan Hughes converted on the powerplay to give Portland the 2-1 lead after 40.
Portland continued their strong play into the third, heavily out shooting Vancouver. But the Giants took advantage of the few chances they had, with Ty Ronning burying his 50th of the season to tie things at two just past the midway point of the third. Ronning then put the Giants up 3-2, on a wicked wrister from the right circle with under three minutes remaining.
Portland pulled their goaltender and had several chances to tie it but could not solve David Tendeck, who ended up making 47 saves in the game. The Giants ended up putting home an empty-netter to make it a 4-2 final for Vancouver.
Cole Kehler made 15 saves in the game.

Verizon Wireless announces a partnership with a new mobile brand started by actress and singer Jennifer Lopez that will be geared toward Latino customers.
LAS VEGAS -- Verizon Wireless is teaming up with actress and singer Jennifer Lopez to better address the growing Hispanic market.
On Wednesday the company announced a partnership with Viva Movil, a new brand created by Lopez to capitalize on the fastest growing demographic in the U.S.
"This new company is here to revolutionize the entire mobile experience for Latinos," said Lopez. "There's no specific place for Latinos to be specifically catered to. We will continuously evolve the wireless shopping experience with Verizon Wireless's guidance and support."
Lopez, who will serve as chief creative officer for Viva Movil, emphasized the need for a mobile brand that addresses Latinos who may be immigrants, but are also American citizens. She said this demographic shops differently.
The new company will allow people to shop for service, phones, and accessories online, on social networks like Facebook, and in stores. Lopez said that the company will launch its first store in New York City on June 15, and will open 15 stores in total this year in several other cities including in Miami and Los Angeles.
Lopez emphasized that the in-store shopping experience would be different than it is at other carrier's wireless stores. There will be a play area for children and there will be lots of devices for people to test out before they buy.
Verizon Wireless has been targeting the Hispanic market for many years. And in 2010 the company's CEO declared this market as a key strategic growth platform. Since then the company has been working to bring its Hispanic marketing strategy to the next level.
It's easy to see why Verizon is interested in this market. Hispanics are already considered the largest minority group in the U.S., and their numbers continue to grow. Today more than 50.5 million people describe themselves as being from Hispanic descent in the U.S. The Hispanic population grew by 43 percent between 2000 and 2010. That's four times faster than the nation's 9.7 percent growth rate. By 2050, Hispanics are expected to account for 30 percent of the U.S. population.
And as this demographic grows, so does its purchasing power. By 2015 the Hispanic population in the U.S. is expected to account for $1.5 trillion in retail sales. Small businesses run by Hispanics are also growing at a rapid rate, outpacing growth and development of the entire U.S. population as a whole.
In addition to becoming a large and important market, Hispanics are a particularly important demographic for wireless and technology companies since various market research indicates that Hispanics tend to adopt new technologies faster than the population as a whole. When it comes to mobile technology, this group leads the way in terms of adoption and time spent online via mobile devices.
But even with all this growth and potential, the market has been largely ignored. Marketing campaigns haven't catered to the needs of the specific needs of the population.
But that seems to be changing as businesses of all sizes start to address this market. For example, CNET's parent company CBS Interactive recently announced its own effort to address the Hispanic market with CNET Espanol, a Spanish-language service offering tech news and reviews for Latino consumers. The new service will launch this fall and it will be staffed with full-time writers who will be translating CNET content. It will also include Spanish speaking Web personalities and reporters producing reviews and video content.

The all-in-one pill combination (Polypill) of several active components used in primary prevention of cardiovascular disease was a decade ago purposed to reduce the cardiovascular burden by more than 80%. This Polypill could be approved before 2013 in United States. Although controversed, it could answer to the worried situation even observed in Switzerland: the adherence to secondary prevention treatments is clearly insufficient and the cardiovascular events remain in the first row of death's causes. This abstract summarize the results from interventional studies who tried to valid this concept as well as the main stakes to be assessed on the medical side before to consider such a similar approach in Switzerland

Coca-Cola HBC acquires 53% stake in Coca-Cola Bottling Co of Egypt2022-01-142022-01-14http://www.liquidafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/LA-Logo.pngliquidafricahttp://www.liquidafrica.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/LA-Logo.png200px200px
Coca-Cola HBC AG announced on Thursday it has completed the acquisition of a 53% interest in Coca-Cola Bottling Co of Egypt SAE for USD304 million in cash.
The Steinhausen-based Switzerland-based company, which bottles and sells the beverages of Coca-Cola Co said its had acquired the stake in Coca-Cola Bottling Co of Egypt from MAC Beverages Ltd. MAC Beverages invests in the beverages and packaging sectors in the Middle East and North Africa region. It has been an owner of Coca-Cola Bottling Co of Egypt since 1994.
Coca-Cola HBC added that the transaction with MAC Beverages also involves the potential acquisition of a further 2.8% stake in Coca-Cola Bottling Co of Egypt.
The group will complete an acquisition of a 42% interest in Coca-Cola Bottling Co of Egypt from the Coca-Cola Co later this month. This potential additional transaction would then bring Coca-Cola HBC's total ownership in Coca-Cola Bottling Co of Egypt to 98%.
In addition, a convertible loan issued to a wholly-owned affiliate of the Coca-Cola Co by Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Egypt has been transferred to Coca-Cola HBC for USD22 million.
Coca-Cola HBC said the acquisition gives it access to the second-largest non-alcoholic ready-to-drink market in Africa by volume.
"We are excited to welcome CCBCE to our group. We see great potential for this business to unlock considerable opportunities in the NARTD category in Egypt. We appreciate the trust placed in us by Coca-Cola Co and MBL, and are ready to become part of the Coca-Cola system growth story in Egypt," said Chief Executive Officer Zoran Bogdanovic.
Shares in Coca-Cola HBC were marginally lower at 2,675.00 pence on Thursday morning in London.

Some of the top travel and adventure blogs are run by people who continuously travel all-round the year. So, how do they afford this and can you do the same?
The answer is undoubted; you can do the same. Here are some tips to help you earn money while on an extreme holiday.
Recently, sharing economy has become such a big thing and provided people with ways to earn money where none existed before. You can rent your place while you are away on websites such as Airbnb and TripAdvisor. This way your property can make you thousands of dollars while you are away skydiving, rafting, or discovering the adventurer in you through paragliding.
I discovered this recently, and I wish it were available in India when I visited the country. In the US, using the Roadie app, you can deliver items from one location to the other when you are travelling. For short distances and light things, you can get paid $8 to $50. However, for oversized items over a long distance, you could get paid around $650. That is pretty good given you are being paid for travelling to your extreme holiday vacation.
While you are on holiday, you do not need the car. Car2go allows you to rent the car when you park it at the airport and head for the holiday. Every rental is insured by up to $1 million, and you get a free car wash, parking, and the best part get paid whenever someone rents your car.
When I say become a merchant, I do not mean that you change your profession and actually become a merchant. However, while you are travelling foreign land, pick cool and exciting items from the country and bring them home. You can sell these stuff to friends and family or even better online to customers in your state.
Making videos is part of the travelling experience. While you are enjoying the holiday, make videos for adventure junkies like yourself and sell it on Ever.travel. This website allows you to sell your videos online and you get 60 percent of the profit the video makes.
I have always had an affinity for adventure, but the cost of these activates meant that I could only do it every once in a while. However, over the years I have learned, tried, and perfected making money while seeking the next trill of my life. With these tips, I hope you can enjoy your extreme holiday without having to worry about money.

Fewer men are taking paternity leave because of financial pressures facing families.
Only 202,000 men took statutory paternity leave in the past year – an increase of just one per cent on the previous 12 months, said commercial law firm EMW, compared to 11 per cent growth in the year before that.
The firm's principal, Jon Taylor, said: 'Household incomes are under a lot of pressure at the moment.
Since 2003, fathers have been entitled to two weeks of leave from work for the birth of a child.
But they are increasingly reluctant to take the £137-a-week paternity pay over their salary as the economy continues to flounder.
'The reality is many households can't afford more paternity leave,' said Mr Taylor.
TUC general secretary Frances O'Grady said: 'British workers are going through the longest real wage squeeze since Victorian times.
'Unless the government raises statutory paternity pay, which is set too low, many dads simply won't be able to afford time off work.

Oh Wow! Reopens Inspire Works as It Marks 8 Years
By George Nelson | May 15, 2019
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – The Oh Wow! The Roger & Gloria Jones Children's Center for Science & Technology celebrates its eighth anniversary Saturday with the grand reopening of its InspireWorks Lab, even as it looks ahead to its 10th.
Oh Wow has engaged Roto Design Studios of Dublin, Ohio, to evaluate the center's first-floor exhibits and determine how they can best be used, and whether they need to be repaired or replaced, says Suzanne Barbati, Oh Wow's president and executive director.
"We're preparing for our 10th anniversary in 2021 and we expect to be here in 100 years," Barbati says. "Everything we do is focused on that effort – to be here, to be a resource not just for families but for schools throughout the five-county area."
The InspireWorks space opened in 2015. Because the space needs to be staffed, that opening was on a temporary basis, but it has been open full-time for the last 18 months.
"It continues to go through changes," Barbati says.
Spearheading those changes is Aislinn Janek, inventory supervisor for Oh Wow. Janek attended a professional development boot camp at the Pittsburgh Children's Museum and researched other maker spaces in schools, classrooms and museums. Most of her ideas came from the Stanford University maker space in its school of design, she says.
The most recent change to InspireWorks is the addition of $20,000 worth of materials and equipment for sewing, embroidery and woodworking donated by McRoyal Industries, a Youngstown manufacturer of counters, cabinets and other products, and its owner, the Lallo family.
"We wanted to bring more real materials into the space," Janek says. InspireWorks previously had a lot of what would be considered "crafting supplies," such as recycled materials, straws, pipe cleaners and such. The new tools in the maker space include saws, hammers and screwdrivers.
In the InspireWorks now hangs a sign recognizing the donation by the Lallo family in memory of the late John and Diana Lallo.
"We looked for different avenues to support the community and do that through things that we believe our parents would have funded," says Melissa Lallo Johnson, one of the Lallo children, who lives in Kansas City, Mo. Her father was president of the Liberty school board and her mother was a teacher in the system. They died a few years ago in a crash of their small plane.
Johnson says she and her siblings bring their children to Oh Wow when they return Youngstown. A couple years ago, they donated the flight simulator now used in the airplane on Oh Wow's main floor and, more recently, discussed with Barbati other ways they could support the center and help children learn "different things," Johnson recalls.
They decided to come up with a way to facilitate parents and children working together in a way that incorporated the Lallo family's passion for woodworking, which is a "dying trade," she says.
Going hand in hand with that was her mother's passion for sewing. "Our mother was very crafty and loved to sew," Johnson says. In fact, much of the sewing equipment donated to Oh Wow, including the quilting machine, had been purchased for Diana Lallo but she never got to use it, her daughter laments.
"When the opportunity came up, it seemed so right to donate" the equipment, she says. "This is what they would have wanted."
The quilting machine won't be introduced for public use until staff members have had more time to be trained on the equipment, Barbati says.
The changes to InspireWorks tie into Oh Wow's desire to align more with community needs, including the need to encourage more people to enter the skilled trades, Barbati says.
"That's the foundation of why we're making these changes," she says.
Oh Wow has discussed these needs with its manufacturing partners through the annual Summer Manufacturing Institute at Oh Wow as well as manufacturing coalitions at the local, state and federal levels. The skilled trades are important, Barbati says, and if Oh Wow can "be a resource and encourage people to understand what that looks like, we're happy to do it."
"It provides a new experience for our visitors. It helps us become a community resource," she says.
"What's really awesome about this room is how malleable or flexible it can be," Janek says. All the equipment and tables are on casters, she pointed out. "That is by design so the room can become whatever we want it to be whenever we need it," she says.
Once the review is competed, planning will begin to make whatever changes are deemed necessary, according to Barbati. She expects there will be a lot more for visitors to experience by the 10th anniversary.
"We're all about continuous improvement," she says. "We're constantly evaluating what's happening here, how can we be a better resource for the community, how can we be a better partner in the downtown area, how can we bring more people into the downtown area and increase our impact."

Soros' leaders of the "women's march": Radical muslima, and a murderer who sexually tortured her victim…
Among the speakers at the Women's March on Washington was feminist activist Donna Hylton. In 1985, Hylton was convicted in a New York court for her participation in the violent abduction, torture, and murder of Thomas Vigliarolo, a 60-year-old real estate broker.
According to a 1995 article in Psychology Today, Hylton was part of a gang hired by victim Vigliarolo's former partner, Louis Miranda. The gang lured Vigliarolo to an apartment where, for as long as two weeks, they tortured him. One of Hylton's accomplices, Rita Peters, would later explain why she shoved a yard-long metal rod up his rectum. Peters said, "He was a homo anyway." When asked how did she come to that conclusion, she said, "When I stuck the bar up his rectum he wiggled."
The article cited NYPD detective William Spurling who recounted Hylton's chilling words about the kidnapping and murder of Vigliarolo. "Spurling himself interviewed Donna: 'I couldn't believe this girl who was so intelligent and nice-looking could be so unemotional about what she was telling me she and her friends had done. They'd squeezed the victim's testicles with a pair of pliers, beat him, burned him. Actually, I thought the judge's sentence was lenient. Once a jailbird, always a jailbird.'" After Vigliarolo died, they stuffed his body in a trunk and left it to rot.
She would spend 27 years in prison.

"Women of ALL GENDERS"…Photo: MoonBattery
Linda Sarsour, one of the organizers behind Saturday's Women's March, being held in Washington, D.C., was recently spotted at a large Muslim convention in Chicago posing for pictures with an accused financier for Hamas, the terrorist group.
Sarsour, the head of the Arab American Association of New York and an Obama White House "Champion of Change," was speaking at last month's 15th annual convention of the Muslim American Society and Islamic Circle of North America.
While there, she posed for a picture with Salah Sarsour, a member of the Islamic Society of Milwaukee and former Hamas operative who was jailed in Israel in the 1990s because of his alleged work for the terrorist group.

The leader of the Portland offal likes the young boys…
PORTLAND, Ore. — A leader in Portland anti-Trump protests has been accused of four counts of second-degree sex abuse.
Micah Rhodes, 23, was expected in court Monday. According to booking papers, the sexual abuse accusations are for statutory, non-forced rape.
He is a self-proclaimed leader of Portland's Resistance, a group which led disorderly anti-Trump protests.
According to an affidavit, the case involves sex with a teenage boy.
The boy said he met Rhodes in 2015 via the Grindr dating app. He told Rhodes he was 17 and Rhodes told him that he had a record of sexual crimes and needed to exercise caution. The boy said despite that, they had consensual sex in Gresham and Troutdale.
Rhodes was interviewed by police on Jan. 25 and on Jan. 28. Both times he waived his Miranda rights, according to the affidavit. He acknowledged meeting the boy via Grindr and said the boy told him he was 17.
Rhodes did not admit specifically to sex in Gresham but said he may have had sex. Rhodes did admit to sex taking place in Troutdale, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit does not specify what led police to the victim and Rhodes now. It does say that in 2015, the Oregon Youth Authority informed Portland police that Rhodes reportedly confessed that year to having sex with the victim. At the time, Rhodes was on parole for first-degree sex abuse and first-degree sodomy crimes.

Throughout the long, cold, and dark winter months the door to our cellar has been tightly closed, our newest vintages being kept under a secretive lock and key. But now that summer is fast on its way, we've decided to tease you just a little by opening the back door to our cellar just a crack and, metaphorically of course, letting you have a peek!
Our famous Nice Racks are back! The white, just as sweet and fruitful as it's always been. The red, just as rich and satisfying as you remember it. These summer favourites, along with our Tragic Tales – The Rosé and the White Merlot, will be among the first of our new 2018 vintages to be released this spring!
Of course, all of your favourites are on their way back as well, showcasing their iconic orchard influences. Our Viognier is bursting with the flavour of fresh peaches and our Pinot Gris tastes like a crisp Okanagan apple right off the tree. Our Unoaked Chardonnay once again has that succulent note of apricots while our Muscat has that pleasant but unusual hint of Mango that still confounds us just a little.
Also of special note, our two endangered grapes, the Oranienstiener and the Ehrenfelser are still safely under our care. The Ehrenfelser still hugging the heights of a cliff overlooking the lake and the Oranienstiener still comfortably tucked away in the mountainous nook where its home vineyard sits. We're proud to say we've done our part once again to ensure these two treasures have survived another year.
And of course, our reds are just as rich and full bodied as you recall. The Cabernet Franc has aged beautifully, opening up a wonderful flavour of dark cherries and softening on the palate. While our new vintage of Meritage is showing the same wonderful complexity as last year, but with bolder and more distinguished notes.
There are several new wines coming this spring as well! Although those ones we're keeping on the hush until their release. Let's just say that joining our portfolio this year will be a unique varietal of African heritage along with an old classic of ours that we've been without for far too long. But unfortunately this is all I'm at liberty to say, so at some point you'll have to stop peeking and come on down to the Back Door Winery to see what the last harvest has brought us!

US Subsidiary of Automotive Hose Maker Nichirin Hit by Ransomware
A US subsidiary of Nichirin, a Japanese company that makes hoses for the automotive industry, was recently hit by ransomware.
The company said on Wednesday in a press release written in Japanese that the attack, aimed at Nichirin-Flex USA, was discovered on June 14. Other Nichirin subsidiaries do not appear to be affected.
The full impact of the cyberattack is being investigated, including whether data has been compromised. The incident forced the company to shut down some production control systems and switch to manual processes.
Nichirin makes hoses for automobiles and motorcycles, as well as products for residential use. The company has operations around the world, with production sites in China and other parts of Asia, North America, and Europe.
On its website, Nichirin warned customers about fake emails apparently coming from the company.
"If you reply to these emails,there are risks of fraud,virus infection,or leakage and misuse of your personal information," reads the alert from Nichirin. "Please do not reply to any unknown email,access the URL listed,open any attachments,etc., and delete the email immediately."
SecurityWeek has checked the leak websites of several major ransomware groups, but none of them mentions Nichirin. However, if the attack is recent, the company could be listed at a later time, when the cybercriminals decide to put more pressure on the victim or if they're confident that they will not get paid.
The attack on Nichirin comes just months after Japanese car parts giant Denso was hit by ransomware. The Pandora ransomware group took credit for that attack, claiming to have stolen 1.4 Tb of data.
"We continue to see threat actors targeting manufacturers in the automotive, infrastructure and government sectors," said Darren Williams, CEO of BlackFog. "Cyber criminals continue to target organizations with older infrastructure, lack of investment in cyber security in terms of both product and personnel. These industries continue to outpace the rest of the market in terms of attacks. It should serve as a reminder that even the smallest contributors to the supply chain must do their part to defend against cyberattacks."

Q: Windows Phone 7 HttpRequest Unable to see true Error Code and response details I have to call a somewhat broken API from a Windows Phone 7 application.  The API returns a 302 error and a cookie to the authentication request.  I've tried every way I've been able to find in the MSDN documentation for using ClientHTTP instead of BrowserHTTP (registering the prefix, using the call to explicitly create a ClientHTTP using Request), but the 302 is getting translated to a 404 and I'm not seeing the cookies on the response.  I've tried a WebClient, I've tried an HttpRequest and it is always the translated error message.  If I allocate a CookieContainer for the HttpRequest, I get a null argument exception when the client stack is parsing the returned message.  I can see that the response is coming back as expected via Fiddler.
