Ernst Frischer nebo Arnošt Frischer (1887–1954) byl sionistický aktivista, československý politik a předseda Židovské strany v letech 1935–1938.

Biografie
Narodil se v Heřmanově Městci v tehdejším Rakousku-Uhersku (dnes Česko). Zapojil se do činnosti sionistické organizace v Československu. Koncem 20. let 20. století zastával vedoucí posty v Politické říšské komisi, která propojovala sionistickou organizaci a Židovskou stranu. Profesí byl stavebním inženýrem.

V roce 1935 uzavřela Židovská strana koalici s Československou sociálně demokratickou stranou dělnickou a v následujících parlamentních volbách v roce 1935 skutečně společně se sociálními demokraty kandidovala do Národního shromáždění republiky Československé, díky čemuž získala dva poslanecké mandáty. Část Židovské strany ale s tímto řešením nesouhlasila a odešla. Mezi odpůrci fúze byl i dosavadní předseda strany Emil Margulies. Předsednictvo strany pak demisi přijalo a pověřilo vedením strany Ernsta Frischera. Ten byl pak do své nové funkce potvrzen na 3. sjezdu strany v Trenčianských Teplicích v červenci 1935. Na podzim téhož roku se v komunálních volbách v Moravské Ostravě dostal do obecního zastupitelstva a později i do městské rady. Ve funkci předsedy pak setrval až do zániku strany roku 1938. Za jeho předsednictví se strana snažila o prohloubení organizační struktury (zavedení okresních a krajských organizací, členských příspěvků, evidence členstva, programové zdokonalení). Sekretariát strany se zároveň přesunul z Prahy do Moravské Ostravy. Ve funkci byl potvrzen i 4. sjezdem strany konaným v květnu 1938 v Brně. Po Mnichovské dohodě na podzim 1938 ovšem aktivita Židovské strany skončila.

Ernst Frischer pak odešel do Velké Británie, kde byl od roku 1941 členem Státní rady Československé, exilového parlamentu v Londýně. Po osvobození se vrátil do Československa a podílel se na obnově židovské komunity jako předseda Rady židovských náboženských obcí. Po převratu v únoru 1948 opět odešel do zahraničí. Zemřel v Londýně roku 1954.

Nicki was sourcing for clients in the Pacific and Annabelle's was founded. Annabelle has always been inspired to follow in her mother's footsteps after accompanying her on buying trips around the world for both Bellaquartz Jewelry and Nicki Plowman Resortwear. These trips allowed Annabelle to make connections and build relationships with suppliers all over Asia, India and the Middle East, providing the solid platform from which she launched her own business. Annabelle's is reflective of Annabelle's own personal style, its combination of bohemian, luxe, ethnic and contemporary style. With everything from furniture, to textiles, lighting and decor, Annabelle's offers their customers a range of unique homewares and textiles sourced from around the globe.

List Rules Vote up your favorite X-Team rosters and teams.
The X-Men, the infamous team of mutants that have been running around the Marvel Universe since the 60's.
They were originally just a team of five, (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Beast, and Angel lead by Professor X). But soon sales lulled and Marvel began reprinting stories. Then Giant-Size X-Men arrived with all new mutants (including everyones favorite canuck, Wolverine) and the comic book sales skyrocketed.
Marvel realized people liked new mutants and bigger, broader storylines, so they added more mutants, and more mutants... and more mutants. Soon they needed new teams and new ongoing series to contain this mega universe they had expanded into.
Here we take a look at all the major teams seen in X-Men history, these are the greatest X-Teams of all time! Vote up your favorite!

Visit of a new Frog pond.
This morning i visited a pond where i've never been for photographing frogs, i hoped to find at least 2 or 3 species. After that first outing i can say that there is at least the following species: Leopard frog, Green frog, Spring peeper frog and Bullfrog.
I took some shots but the light was becoming harsh, i will go again earlier in the morning or on a cloudy day. I think i will like that pond, with old tree trunks in the water with vegetation growing on them will make great shots if i can find frogs resting there.
Canon 7D with 400mm/5.6L and 65mm of Extension tubes, tripod and remote release.
I think this one is a Green frog.
Leopard frog, not the best shot but i wanted to show that there is also Leopard frog in that pond.
Canada Goose, there is also many bird species that live there.
I can't wait to go back at that beautiful pond !

Google Partners with WWF to Create Fashion Sustainability Platform
Posted by Mark Segal | Jun 10, 2020 | Companies, New funds & products | 0 |
Google and WWF Sweden announced today that they are partnering to create an environmental data platform, enabling more responsible sourcing decisions in the fashion industry.
The fashion industry is a significant producer of waste water, and World Bank estimates it is responsible for responsible for 10 % of annual global carbon emissions. Much of the industry's sustainability challenges result from the highly fragmented nature of the raw materials supply chain, which creates difficulty in gathering and assessing data at scale.
The Google/WWF partnership aims to address these challenges by creating a platform to provide a more comprehensive view into raw materials of clothing manufacturers' supply chains, and analyse the risk and impact of various textiles raw materials, based on prior collaborations between Google and Stella McCartney, and between WWF and IKEA. The new platform aims to increase the accuracy and relevance of raw materials assessments, moving beyond cotton and viscose as first announced, to include numerous additional raw materials based on WWF data and knowledge. In addition to Stella McCartney and IKEA, the partners are also in consultation with a large number of other fashion, luxury, denim, and athletic brands and retailers.
Commenting on the new partnership and platform, Ian Pattison, Head of Customer Engineering, Retail, Google UK/IE, said:
"It's our ambition to create a data-enriched decision-making platform that enables analysis of the supply chain in a way that has not been possible before at this scale. Partnering with WWF brings together Google Cloud's technical capacity, including big-data analysis and machine learning, and WWF's deep knowledge of assessing raw materials. Together, we can make supply chain data visible and accessible to decision makers, and drive more responsible and sustainable decisions."
Kate Brandt, Google Sustainability Officer, added:
"Sustainability is a challenge that crosses industry boundaries, and we firmly believe that solutions require strong partnerships and collaboration. Our ambition is to fill fundamental data gaps by bringing greater accuracy to environmental reporting—ultimately moving toward more sustainable processes. By combining our technology, and with data inputs from many key industry brands and retailers, we believe we can significantly magnify this work together."
Håkan Wirtén, CEO of WWF Sweden, said:
"WWF's partnership work with companies has always been motivated by the need to drive real transformation at the largest possible scale. This project is an excellent example of how we can take valuable work with a long term partner like IKEA, collaborate with another strong WWF partner like Google to make that work even more powerful, and make it open source so that hopefully it can help with the transformation of a whole industry."

2.2 Design situations
(1)P Both short-term and long-term design situations shall be considered.
(2) In geotechnical design, the detailed specifications of design situations should include, as appropriate:
the actions, their combinations and load cases;
the general suitability of the ground on which the structure is located with respect to overall stability and ground movements;
the disposition and classification of the various zones of soil, rock and elements of construction, which are involved in any calculation model;
dipping bedding planes;
mine workings, caves or other underground structures;
in the case of structures resting on or near rock:
interbedded hard and soft strata;
faults, joints and fissures;
possible instability of rock blocks;
solution cavities, such as swallow holes or fissures filled with soft material, and continuing solution processes;
the environment within which the design is set, including the following:
effects of scour, erosion and excavation, leading to changes in the geometry of the ground surface;
effects of chemical corrosion;
effects of weathering;
effects of freezing;
effects of long duration droughts;
variations in ground-water levels, including, e.g. the effects of dewatering, possible flooding, failure of drainage systems, water exploitation;
the presence of gases emerging from the ground;
other effects of time and environment on the strength and other properties of materials; e.g. the effect of holes created by animal activities;
earthquakes;
ground movements caused by subsidence due to mining or other activities;
the sensitivity of the structure to deformations;
the effect of the new structure on existing structures, services and the local environment.
(1)P At the geotechnical design stage, the significance of environmental conditions shall be assessed in relation to durability and to enable provisions to be made for the protection or adequate resistance of the materials.
(2) In designing for durability of materials used in the ground, the following should be considered:
a) for concrete:
aggressive agents in the ground-water or in the ground or fill material, such as acids or sulfate salts;
b) for steel:
chemical attack where foundation elements are buried in ground that is sufficiently permeable to allow the percolation of ground-water and oxygen;
corrosion on the faces of sheet pile walls exposed to free water, particularly in the mean water level zone;
the pitting type of corrosive attack on steel embedded in fissured or porous concrete, particularly for rolled steel where the mill scale, acting as a cathode, promotes electrolytic action with the scale-free surface acting as an anode;
c) for timber:
fungi and aerobic bacteria in the presence of oxygen;
d) for synthetic fabrics:
the ageing effects of UV exposure or ozone degradation or the combined effects of temperature and stress, and secondary effects due to chemical degradation.
(3) Reference should be made to durability provisions in construction materials standards.

Q: rails, retrieve another user object besides foreign key i have a user model and a message model. my user has_many messages and my message belongs_to user.
on my message model, i have the attributes :content, :user_id, :to_id.
the :user_id acts as the foreign key, and can also be thought of as the 'sender' while the :to_id can be thought of as the 'receiver'.
in my message index template, when im trying to display all the messages, i do something like...
<%= link_to message_item.user.name, message_item.user %>

that line works great when showing my received messages (where im the :to_id and :user_id is showing who sent me the message)
however, when im listing the messages under my 'sent' category, doing the line of code above will always show my name (because im :user_id) as opposed to the :to_id, which would make more sense.
ideally i would want something like
<%= message_item.to_id %>

for my sent category. is there a way to get the user object mentioned in my :to_id category?
something like message_item.to_id.name wouldn't work because message_item.to_id returns back an integer and not the user object. is there a way to get it?
at trying to display and linking to the sender, here is my failed attempt
    <% if current_user == message_item.user %>
    <%= message_item.to_id %>
    <% else %>
        <%= link_to message_item.user.name, message_item.user %>
    <% end %>

thanks

A: What you need to do is define the relationship for the receiver in message.rb:
belongs_to :to,
  :class_name => 'User',
  :foreign_key => :to_id

I find it's usually more clear if you call things like to_id to be to_user_id so it's clear that you're talking about a user and not something else.
Now you can call:
<%= link_to(message.to.name, message.to) %>

A: This is funny, I answered a similar question today.
First, you must set your Message and User models like this.
So, for your sent messages, you can use:
<%- current_user.messages.each do |message| -%>
  <%= link_to message.recipient.name, user_path(message.recipient) %>
<%- end -%>

And for the received messages:
<%- current_user.messages_received.each do |message| -%>
  <%= link_to message.user.name, user_path(message.user) %>
<%- end -%>

That should be enough.

The contrast is too dark, it's hard to see the nest from the tree, and you can't really make out the source image in the nest.
The mushrooms also are distracting, as they are the main visual vocal point, with the egg shell second. Your emphasis needs to be adjusted.

The MyCOVIDRisk App: A Holiday Season Guide
By Zahrie Ernst
Understand your risk of COVID-19 this holiday season using version 2 of the MyCOVIDRisk App.
Back in 2020, before vaccination rollout Founding Director of the Brown-Lifespan Center for Digital Health (CDH), Dr. Megan Ranney, and Center leadership member, Dr. Liz Goldberg, created a risk estimation and mitigation tool for COVID-19 called the MyCOVIDRisk App. This app received over 1.3 million hits across the United States, and became a valuable tool for monitoring risk during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. The publicly available and free app helped people understand their individual level of risk for contracting COVID-19 while navigating their day-to-day activities, such as visiting a friend's house, working out at the gym, or going to the mall.
The CDH team decided to revisit the app in 2021 to make some much needed updates- accounting for Delta prevalence, individual vaccination status, and the vaccination status of others. With all of these updates, the MyCOVIDRisk App is ready for use just in time for the holiday season!
Calculating risk during the holidays
With the holiday season fast-approaching, we know so many of us are looking forward to spending time with family and friends to make up for lost time over the last 18 months. With holiday gatherings, however, comes increased risk of infection. But how high is the risk? And what can one do to mitigate that risk? Enter the MyCOVIDRisk App.
The MyCOVIDRisk App collects information about the event to calculate an initial risk score.
The newest version of the MyCOVIDRisk App offers risk estimates for a wide array of activities including "family dinner", "going to a house of worship", and a "build your own activity" for those events that don't quite fit among the options provided. As users go through the app, they'll be asked about ventilation, number of people wearing masks, and event duration. All of this data, including the disease prevalence in the selected town of the event, will be used to calculate one's "Initial Risk Score". Initial risk scores range from very low risk to very high risk. But the app doesn't stop there.
Users are then prompted to select mitigation factors and personal behaviors that could reduce their risk score. Things like individual vaccination status, wearing a mask, social distancing, hand-washing, and more become important considerations for how users can lower their risk.
Version 2.0 even asks users if they know the vaccination status of the co-participants at the event. Fully vaccinated means that an individual has either 2 doses of Moderna/Pfizer or 1 dose of Johson & Johnson. After all, the best way to minimize COVID-19 risk is for all those who are eligible to get vaccinated (1). After electing various mitigation steps, users receive their Final Risk Score.
After receiving an initial risk score, the MyCOVIDRisk App asks users to identify a handful of mitigation measures, including vaccination status, to determine a final risk estimate.
What to do with all this information?
Navigating the pandemic's ever-changing restrictions and allowances can cause a great deal of fatigue and confusion. The MyCOVIDRisk App helps to alleviate some level of uncertainty by providing insights as to how individual behaviors contribute to risk and advising users on how to take control when and where they can. Moreover, the MyCOVIDRisk App uses live data sources so that as COVID-19 prevalence changes users are able to observe their risk in real time. For those attending events in areas of high prevalence or with unvaccinated people, the app provides CDC-recommended actions, such as mask-wearing, vaccination, hand-washing, and more, to help protect oneself from COVID-19 (1). At the end of the day, this app can be a valuable tool in your toolbox for pandemic preparedness.
As we enter the holiday season, we know that spending long hours inside with friends and family will inevitably lead to increased risk. However, as Dr. Ranney notes, where we are now is different from where we were last year now that we have vaccines (2). As of November 10, 2021 the CDC reports 79% of people ages 12 and up are vaccinated with at least one dose (3). Even more promising is that children ages 5-11 are now eligible for the Pfizer vaccine (4). The more people we surround ourselves with who are vaccinated, the lower not only our own risk of COVID-19, but also the risk for our loved ones. The MyCOVIDRisk App can help to quantify that.
Altogether, this user-friendly, free, and publicly available app can help people make conscientious choices around their holiday plans. So consider taking a few minutes before agreeing to that big family gathering to assess your level of risk with the MyCOVIDRisk App. Who knows? You may even find a new suggestion for how to keep you and your loved ones as safe as possible.

Our mission is very simple and can be summed up in one word - MINISTRY.
§ Serving the children of God and to reach out to all the others with God's unconditional love.
§ Giving financial support to other ministries and local law enforcement through various kinds of fundraisers.
§ Having local biker events that not only unite the different Christian Biker Ministries but also invite and welcome the secular riders.
§ We believe that motorcycles are another avenue in which we can spread God's Word and unconditional love to the world.
§ Our outreach into prisons includes every Champions of Life event we can possibly attend and every other open door these motorcycles can carry us through.
§ Going into secular rallies, not with a religious attitude, but the genuine Love of God.
§ Being very careful to maintain an honorable walk of integrity and true Christianity.
§ Sharing with the secular world the Jesus Who loved them so much that He died for them while there were yet sinners.
1. Be born-again and filled with the Holy Spirit.
2. Be fully committed to the Church, and truly submitted to the Pastor's God-given authority, fulfilling their part of the covenant.
3. Agree with Soul's Harbor Articles of Faith.
4. Pay a one-time membership fee of $100.
5. To the best of their ability, live a lifestyle that is above reproach, not doing anything to dishonor the patch.
The one-time membership fee will go towards helping to pay for the expenses of operating the ministry as well as helping members (that cannot afford at times) to go on ministry outings. Our members are expected to support this ministry with their prayers and finances and to be loyal to other members, avoiding strife and disharmony at any cost.
After becoming a member you will receive a set of patches and a certificate. (The Soldiers of the Cross patches are the property of this ministry.) We consider becoming a member as being an honor and privilege to serve our Lord Jesus Christ. We ask that you conduct yourself in a Christ-like manner at all times (Phil. 1:27; Col. 1:10). If any chapter member should require disciplinary action for dishonoring the rules described above, it shall be agreed upon that if he or she cannot abide by said rules, then he or she will be required to turn in their patch to the National President.
You will also receive a copy of the Articles of Faith. If you have any questions, please ask any of the Officers.

Abu Dhabi: A Pakistani teacher accused of molesting a female student appeared before the Criminal Court in Dubai.
The defendant taught the 11-year old girl Arabic language at a school and started giving her private tuition at her family's house two months ago.
The girl claimed that the defendant threatened her that she would never succeed unless she allows him for sexual advances.
"On the day of the incident, I went to the bedroom for half an hour and left my daughter with her teacher in the sitting room," said the mother of the girl.
"As I didn't hear any sound, I went to check and I was terrified to see that the man was molesting my daughter who was resisting and trying to push him away," she told investigators.
The mother said that the defendant rushed to the door and ran away from the house when she started shouting hysterically.
The mother informed her husband who lodged a complaint with the police following which the Pakistani teacher was arrested, reported local Arabic daily Emarat Al Youm.


Some dental patients find being in a dental chair overwhelming because it makes them feel like they are losing control. They feel helpless as a dentist pokes inside their mouth with all sorts of strange looking devices. People with this fear often feel trapped while at the dentist's office.
One of the main reasons people do not like going to the dentist's office is because of past bad experiences. If you ever have a dental procedure that is painful or leads to complications, it is natural to be nervous about going back to the dentist's office.
Now that we know what triggers your anxiety in the first place, let's take a look at a few things you can do to minimize your fears.
If you are having a difficult time relaxing at the dentist's office, talk to your dentist about sedation. Sedation can help keep you relaxed and calm during treatments.
Contact Dr. Mauro & Associates PC to learn about other things you can do to alleviate your dental anxiety.


Analytics Platform System – a purpose-built, on-premises data warehouse platform – delivers rapid insights using massively parallel processing combined with big data integration to query across cloud and Hadoop clusters. APS is your on premises hub for all of your data: blazing fast performance; Insights from any data; engineered for value; the data warehouse you want.
More details about the Analytics Platform System are available in the APS documentation.
I understand SSMS supports Azure DW, that should make it even easier to add the support for APS/PDW in SSMS.
The real world improvements do not seem to exist from this feature and the control node seems to still be a big bottleneck for this kind of task being saturated with 100% CPU Load.
The scenario in which we need this is when processing a large cube with plenty of large partitions being processed in parallel.
Compare my screenshot for figures from our environment.
Justification : in real world we are seeing more adhoc users usage + Loads so 32 is very small which is creating huge ripple effect on APS Query Performance & user satisfaction.
Using APS PDW on-prem. Not having Primary Key Constraints is a big issue.
I've had to create an audit process using a control table that holds the primary key columns for all the tables and a procedure that spins through all the tables looking for duplicate counts based off those keys. After 2 years of adding tables with no validation for this, the first time I ran the audit 6 months ago, it found duplication in more than 10-20% of our tables. We're still cleaning up our legacy ETL feeds and removing duplicates. Looking for and cleaning up duplicates after they hit the system is very inefficient.
Please add the option "Allow access to Azure services" to the analysis services firewall, the same way that the Azure SQL Server firewall has.
Processing the model is somehting i would like to do from Azure automation when i start the analysis server. Right now the only way to achieve that is to manually add all the datacenter ip ranges to the firewall manually.
For APS PDW, add abiltiy to name indexes within the create table script and from visual studio script the indexes with thier names.
We have a naming standard for our indexes but since we can't script the name of the index in a create table command, we have to use a separate create index command. This is a bit of a hassle when moving objects around. Viewing the code of a table in Visual Studio does not include the index names so when we use this function we have to manually change the script it generates.
When you enable TDE on database in PDW, AU7 it does not compress the backup, this results in double backup size than AU4. We have to enable TDE due to Security requirement as we have some personal information.
There is financial implication an more storage is required and more data to backup to tape. If service is handled by third party, then there is administration cost increased as well.
Right now the only supported way to backup APS is to an IP Address (UNC path), please add the ability to backup to a FQDN path.
Extend DMVs definition in order to allow fields greater than 4000 chars, so to be able to see the entire text of a submitted command.
Many of our tables have VARCHAR(MAX) columns which means we cannot use columnstore indexes. This limits performance of these tables. Please allow support for columnstore with varchar(max) as per SMP editions of SQL Server.

In light of Brexit, there has been a lot of uncertainty regarding how European Nations are going to work together to lessen the blow of economic change and restructuring.
Some have suggested Britain be "punished" for its defiance and made an example of in order to deter other nations from making the same decision. Others took a more understanding approach, declaring that they must respect Britain's decision.
Now that the shock of the situation has subsided, plans are beginning to emerge for Britain to join its allies in the development of new innovations in the North Sea.
The proposal stems from the prime minister of Flanders, Kris Peeters and Geert Bourgeois, the leader of Belgium's dominant region. The suggestion is that Britain will join nations such as Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, France, Sweden and Norway in the creation of a hub in the North Sea that will give a welcome boost to offshore power developments, marine research and a better grid network that can cut costs and be a driver for better back-up power.
This commission is only inclusive of certain regions in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, France, England and Scotland, who have a stake in the marine economy. Whereas the proposed North Sea Union would involve entire nations.

Q: Does android maps support ground overlay? I have a weather image I would like to use as an overlay in the google maps android api.  I would like to achieve the same result that I get from using GroundOverlay in KML files, such as
<GroundOverlay>
  <name>myimage</name>
  <Icon>
    <href>myimage.png</href>
    <viewBoundScale>0.75</viewBoundScale>
  </Icon>
  <LatLonBox>
    <north>75.6088</north>
    <south>5.0121</south>
    <east>182.2805</east>
    <west>120.6795</west>
  </LatLonBox>
</GroundOverlay>

The above will ensure that the 4 corners of my image stay anchored to the 4 lat/long points listed, regardless of scrolling, zooming etc..
Is there a way to accomplish this using the google api/maps provided for android?

A: You can do it with an overlay but you would have to do all your own painting in the paint method of Overlay. That could be a good extension though.

A: Here is how I am doing the drawing.
public class GroundOverlay extends Overlay {

    private GroundOverlayData data = null;

    private final int strokeWidth = 1;
    private Paint borderPaint = new Paint();
    private Paint bitmapPaint = new Paint();

    public GroundOverlay(GroundOverlayData data) {
        super();
        this.data = data;

        bitmapPaint.setAlpha(100);

        borderPaint.setStrokeWidth(strokeWidth);
        borderPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
        borderPaint.setAlpha(20);
        borderPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    }

    @Override
    public void draw(Canvas canvas, MapView mapView, boolean shadow) {
        super.draw(canvas, mapView, shadow);

        if (data != null) {
            Point northWest = toPoint(mapView.getProjection(), data.getNorthWestCoordinate().getGeoPoint());
            Point southEast = toPoint(mapView.getProjection(), data.getSouthEastCoordinate().getGeoPoint());

            Rect bitmapRect = new Rect(northWest.x, northWest.y, southEast.x, southEast.y);
            if (data.getBitmap() != null) {

                if (!data.getBitmap().isRecycled()) {
                    canvas.drawBitmap(data.getBitmap(), null, bitmapRect, bitmapPaint);
                }
            }

            //Border
            Rect borderRect = new Rect(bitmapRect.left-strokeWidth, bitmapRect.top-strokeWidth,
                    bitmapRect.right+strokeWidth, bitmapRect.bottom+strokeWidth);
            canvas.drawRect(borderRect, borderPaint);
        }
    }

    private Point toPoint(Projection projection, GeoPoint geoPoint) {
        Point point = new Point();
        projection.toPixels(geoPoint, point);
        return point;
    }

    public GroundOverlayData getData() {
        return data;
    }

    public void setData(GroundOverlayData data) {
        this.data = data;
    }
}

Data classes:
public class GroundOverlayData {

    private Bitmap bitmap = null;
    private Coordinate northWestCoordinate = null;
    private Coordinate southEastCoordinate = null;

    public Bitmap getBitmap() {
        return bitmap;
    }
    public void setBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
        this.bitmap = bitmap;

Ducks Prospects
2021 World Juniors: Sanderson & Drysdale Had Two Different Endings
By Pete Bauer January 7th, 2021
Defenseman Jake Sanderson and Team USA won gold over defenseman Jamie Drysdale and Team Canada at the 2021 World Junior Championship (WJC). Some would tell you that this is Sanderson's second major upset over Drysdale in the past three months.
Jake Sanderson and Team USA beat Jamie Drysdale and Team Canada to win the 2021 World Junior Championship.
Prior to the tournament, eight of 10 experts at the Sporting News picked Canada to win gold, while just two predicted Team USA on top of the podium. The morning of the game, MSN Sports picked Team Canada. That article cited the wagering site DraftKings.com as having the Canadians the betting favorite at -200, with the Americans at +135.
Sanderson Unexpectedly Selected Ahead of Drysdale in the NHL's 2020 Entry Draft
More than a year prior to the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, most prognosticators ranked Drysdale as the top defenseman available. Sanderson was, at best, an afterthought that far out. But, as you can read here, Sanderson slowly rose up the pre-draft lists and mock drafts.

Then came October and Sanderson's first "upset" of Drysdale. When the Ottawa Senators drafted Sanderson at #5, with Drysdale still on the board, it went against the final mock drafts and prospect lists. Anaheim picked Drysdale immediately afterward at #6. And the two names may now be forever linked in future NHL lore.
WJC Preliminary Round
Team USA and the Team Canada didn't meet in the group stage of the WJC. Starting the tournament in different groups, the earliest they could play each other would be the quarterfinal round. Canada swept through their group without seeming to break a sweat. The Americans, on the other hand, lost their first game (against the Russians) and needed an unexpected shutout win over Swedish to finish atop their group.
Drysdale and Team Canada
Team Canada treated the preliminary round in Group A as a walk in the park.
The Canadians opened their tournament with a 16-2 drubbing of Team Germany. Both German goals came with just seconds left on power plays. Drysdale tallied one assist, +8, and was second on the team in time on ice (TOI) at just over 20 minutes.
The following evening, the Canadians topped Slovakia 3-1, again giving up a goal with seconds left in a shorthanded situation. Drysdale didn't record a point, was +1, and again second in TOI.
After a day off, Team Canada smashed Switzerland 10-0. Drysdale registered an assist, +1, and played 17:10, fourth on the team.
Two nights later, the Canadians beat Finland 4-1, again surrendering a power play goal. Drysdale was again kept off the scoresheet, was +2, and again finished the game second in TOI for the Canadians.
Team Canada finished the preliminary round with a cumulative score of 33-4.
Sanderson and Team USA
Team USA overcame a rough start to the preliminary round to finish atop Group B.
On Christmas Day, the first evening of the WJC, Team USA lost to the Russians 5-3. The Russians jumped out to a 4-1 lead, but the Americans clawed back to 4-3 before surrendering an empty-net goal in the last half-minute of the game. Sanderson had no points and registered a -1 in 17:50 TOI, sixth on the team.
The following evening, the Americans may have been taking out a bit of frustration in their 11-0 crushing of Austria. Sanderson tallied one assist and finished the game +3 in 15:33 TOI, eighth on the team.
After a pair of days off, Team USA easily handled the Czech Republic, 7-0. Sanderson didn't register a point and finished with a plus/minus of zero. However, his TOI crept up to 18:05, third on the team.
Team USA beat Team Sweden 4-0 in their final game in group play. Sanderson was +2 with no points in 17:14 TOI (fourth on the team, second among defensemen).
Team USA finished group play with a record of three wins and one loss for nine points. Russia earned two regulation wins, one overtime win, with one loss for eight points. Sweden finished third in Group B with two wins, a regulation loss and an overtime loss.
WJC Quarterfinals and Semifinals
Team Canada faced the Czech Republic in the quarterfinals. The Czechs ended group play with wins over Austria and a tough Russian squad, and losses to Sweden and Team USA. The Canadians shutout the Czechs 3-0, outshooting them 29-25. Drysdale was not on the ice for any of the goals, but again finished second on Team Canada in TOI.

In their quarterfinal game, Team USA never trailed in a 5-2 win over Slovakia. Sanderson played just under 20 minutes (third on the team), not registering a point and finishing even in plus/minus.
The Canadians shut out the Russians 5-0 in the semifinal. Drysdale played 25 minutes, second on the team, and didn't register on the scoresheet (with a plus/minus of zero).
Team USA had a much tougher time in the semifinals against Finland (4-3). With less than four minutes to play, the Finns tied the game, 3-3. Arthur Kaliyev (drafted by the Los Angeles Kings in 2019) scored the American's clinching fourth goal, with 1:16 remaining in the third period, assisted by Alex Turcotte and Sanderson.

Sanderson's assist on the game-winning goal was his only point of the night. He registered +1, and was ninth on the team in TOI at 16:41 as coach Nate Leaman relied heavily on his top players.
WJC Gold Medal Game: Team Canada vs. Team USA
The semifinal wins set the stage for a highly anticipated Canadian-American gold medal game. Both Drysdale for Team Canada and Sanderson for Team USA were on the ice for the opening faceoff.

Just over five minutes into the game, the subject of Sanderson and Drysdale popped into the broadcast on the NHL Network, with color analyst Dave Starman saying this about Sanderson:
The question was 'Who was the better defenseman in the draft, him or Drysdale?' And it really depends on who you ask at any given moment. A lot of people thought Sanderson was the better two-way defenseman in the draft and he has proven in this tournament that he can so some dynamic things.
–Dave Starman, WJC Gold Medal game broadcast
The Americans scored the first goal at 13:25 of the first period, with Drysdale and Sanderson on the ice. Both players started the second period. About a half-minute into the period, Sanderson was instrumental in Team USA's second goal. Pinching in, he threw a big hit on Team Canada's Dylan Cozens that prevented the puck from leaving the zone. Just seconds before the puck crossed the Canadian goal line, Drysdale slipped a bit just in front of his goalie while trying to break up the play.
What a great hit to get this play set up!
Sanderson and his Team USA took home the gold with their 2-0 win, the Canadians settling, none-too-happily, for silver. (Finland beat Russia 3-1 for third place and the bronze.) Sanderson played 21:41 in the final, tops for Team USA, and finished the game +2. Drysdale skated 25:24, second on Team Canada, and finished the game -2.
What's Next for Sanderson and Drysdale?
Drysdale is expected to return to his Junior OHL club, the Erie Otters. Sanderson will leave the NTDP for a freshman year at the University of North Dakota. Since the OHL and NCAA clubs will not face each other next season, the two defensemen won't meet on the ice.
In the extremely unlikely event that both defensemen make the rosters of their NHL clubs, the 2020-21 playoff format would see them go head-to-head only if Ottawa (Sanderson) and Anaheim (Drysdale) won their divisions. And that's about as likely as — oh, I don't know — Detroit winning the Central and New Jersey winning the East? Nah, let's be realistic — Ottawa and Anaheim winning their divisions in 2020-21 is about as realistic as Santa bringing me what's on my list next Christmas, just in time for the 2022 WJC. (And if you could only see my list!)
Drysdale and Sanderson will likely meet next at the 2022 WJC, to be held in Edmonton and Red Deer, Alberta, for the second consecutive year. (The 2022 WJC had been scheduled for Gothenburg, Sweden, but because the COVID-19 pandemic prevented fans from attending games this year, the games will again be held in Canada. Sweden gets bumped to 2024, with Russia in between.)
But wait! Sanderson and Drysdale will play in the 2022 WJC if their NHL clubs permit it. After the Chicago Blackhawks lost Kirby Dach (possibly for the entire 2020-21 NHL season) due to an injury suffered at the 2021 WJC, teams might be more reluctant to release budding young stars for the annual tournament.
When Sanderson and Drysdale are both in the NHL, and the league returns to a somewhat "normal" alignment, you may see Sanderson and Drysdale go head-to-head now and then. But if they both have the long and successful careers I expect, you may indeed see them competing against each other for Lord Stanley's Cup.

In 2016, millions of dollars from out-of-state political action committees poured into Florida's 7th Congressional District race in the closing weeks.
This year, long before those PACs weigh in, out-of-state interest is already fueling campaigns.
Like most incumbent members of Congress, Democratic U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy already is finding love for her re-election from California to New York, with more than half of her campaign's money coming from outside Florida, through the first quarter of 2018.
For the most part, her challengers in CD 7, four Republicans and a Democrat, are getting some fundraising calls answered outside of Florida, though leading Republicans Scott Sturgill and state Rep. Mike Miller are getting nearly 90 percent of their cash from inside the Sunshine State.
The national flow of money has become more sophisticated in recent cycles as candidates in swing districts can count on national organization targeting certain congressional races to steer money from all over their way. Murphy has been the beneficiary of several such organizations, including ActBlue, Emily's List, and the New Democratic Coalition.
Because small donations need not be itemized, much of the money cannot be publicly traced to Florida or any other state, so the out-of-state numbers might be even higher than reported here. For example, $178,000 of Murphy's campaign donations came in small, unitemized amounts.
— At least 63 percent of the $1.77 million that Murphy's campaign has raised has come from out of state. It includes $763,174 in political action committee money, making up the vast majority of the PAC money she has received; plus $362,439 in itemized contributions from individuals, making up about half of those itemized personal contributions.
Murphy's favorite locales outside of Florida for individual donations start New York, from where she has received 93 individual contributions totaling $85,297; California, 108 checks totaling $69,628; and Texas, 42 checks, totaling $48,578.
— Just under 13 percent of Sturgill's money is identified as coming from outside of Florida. That goes up to 18 percent if the $150,250 he lent to his campaign is not included in the totals. He has received at least $59,900 from out-of-state individuals, and another $6,000 from PACs outside of Florida.
Sturgill's favorite places for campaign money outside of Florida appear to be Texas, where his campaign has itemized ten personal checks totaling $13,100; New York, three checks for $7,400; and Colorado, four for $6,400.
Miller's favorite other locations include Virginia, from where he itemized six checks for $7,250; Washington D.C., six for $6,439; and Georgia, three for $3,050.
Murphy's Democrat primary challenger Chardo Richardson has collected $5,189 in 17 itemized checks from outside Florida, plus $676 in in-kind contributions, which combine to represent about 23 percent of the $25,826 total his campaign has reported receiving. All the rest of the money his campaign collected had come in donations too small to have to be itemized; consequently, his campaign has not yet listed a single contribution from inside of Florida.
Republican Vennia Francois had only been in the contest a few weeks when the filing deadline came. She started with at least 27 percent of her initial campaign money coming from outside of Florida, $4,208 itemized in nine checks from outside Florida, of the $15,579 her campaign collected.
Republican Patrick Weingart has not reported any campaign finance activity.


Married to Filipino - in the case of Japanese woman: Valentine's Day Surprise!
Now my hands is totally occupied by Valentine's day gifts. It is my first gift to receive from my husband on this day.
Then, I finally made sort of sense that why my husband insisted to go to his working place, University since yesterday.
In this morning, I was in the house to finish some of my freelance work. My husband sent me a message via google chat whether I really come to the campus or not and what time. Now I understand why he asked me in this morning.
I thought he was going to ask me some work to do. So that is why he wanted me to be there today. Ok, ok ok...I will go!
It is rainy day. I was bit lazy to go out. But promise is promise(I am very Japanese :D). I left for the campus by bicycle. Along the way, rain began to fall hard. Eventually I was wet even I used umbrella. My small pink umbrella just covered my upper body.
I was so wet and messy when I arrived University. As soon I arrived, two students approached to me holding several items and asked me whether I am a wife of a worker by mentioning my husband' name.
Yes, I said. I haven't concentrated on these people's talk yet since I was still fixing myself. One of students handed me three items, three big red and white balloons, cake and flower.
I instantly interpreted that these gifts might be for workers from University :D A student explained about these stuffs in Tagalog but I understood half of what she said. Then, I concluded the conversation by saying: I will tell and hand these to my husband. He was still in the class room. In this way, I stupidly answered to her.
She puzzled and showed me a small card which was attached to the box of cake.
In the card, I found a message: Ik hou van ... By the way, this is Dutch.
My eyes followed the message and found my husband name at the end of message.
These gifts are for me!
Unromantic Japanese woman here has never thought of it. Hey, but if I think the situation, why unknown students who delivered these gifts could approach me? It is strange.. They were informed usual my parking location by my husband..
He likes surprise. It is very his way.
I was so surprised and happy at the same time.
He admittedly says he is not a person to give a gift. In fact, I am always the one to pick gifts for someone in occasions, birthday, Christmas and so on.
In addition, first gift he gave me was a piece of broken glass which was washed by waves for long time (I do not know whether it has specific name or not). I bring this small piece when I travel. From this experience, I understood his idea of gift is with some stories and memories.Things itself is not so important for him..
Flower and cakes?? what happened to my husband?
Then, I analyzed this situation...it might be a sort of Valentine package..
Later, I learned he helped student's entrepreneurial idea on that day: deliver these flower, balloons and cake with message card to loved one. They might be business admin students. So I made sense of this kind of choice.
I should have given an advice to the student for improvement of their service because my hands was really occupied by these gifts. It was nice box of cake had small handles..and so on..
However and of course...I am happy and thankful for him.
I felt that he thought of me even he has been quite busy past few weeks. Gifts will be gone soon but moment of excitement and surprise will be remained as a memory of Valentines' Day.
In many ways, it was surprising Valentine's Day.


Balance Body & Soul Nutrition // Health Tips Blog // Good Morning, Sunshine!
Your alarm clock goes off (either in child or electronic form), you jump out of bed and hit the ground running. You're trying to beat the clock to get out the door and grab whatever you can to eat on the go. By 10:30 you are hungry, a little irritable, and find yourself reaching for another quick snack (a muffin, doughnut, cookie) to get you through until lunch. Does any of this sound familiar?
By now it's no secret that breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. After fasting all night, your body needs some complex carbohydrates, good quality protein and healthy fat to get your metabolism up and running at full speed again. Unfortunately, many people start their days with a breakfast filled with sugar, refined flours and poor protein choices (if any at all!). A breakfast like this sends you blood sugar skyrocketing, and by mid-morning it has plunged back down leaving you frantically reaching for whatever you can to boost it back up again setting your blood sugar levels up for a roller coaster ride all day long.
- Plain Greek yoghurt (high in protein) with a few tablespoons of large flake oats that have been soaked in milk (cow's dairy, almond, rice, goat, or other alternative). Top with a teaspoon of chia seeds, some fresh fruit/dried fruit and a teaspoon of maple syrup. Or, substitute the soaked oats for a few tablespoons of homemade granola.
-1 slice whole grain toast with a boiled egg (boil eggs in advance and keep in the fridge), and some fresh fruit (apples, pears, kiwi, etc.) on the side.
¾ cup fruit of choice (fresh or frozen) – I love strawberries, blueberries, mangoes, or a mix!
Step 1 - Dump everything into your blender and start pulsing until mixtures starts to break down and liquefy.
Step 2 - Once everything seems to mostly liquefied set your blender on low for around 30 seconds and then increase to high for another 30 seconds to finish it off.
If you haven't ever added leafy greens to your smoothies don't knock it until you've tried it. You could always start out with a handful of baby spinach which has an extremely mild taste, but honestly, raw kale will not overpower the taste of your smoothie and it's soooo good for you!
No matter what you choose to eat in the morning, just make sure you're getting a mix of complex carbohydrates, lean protein, and healthy fats and you can't go wrong. If you start the day with a healthy breakfast it sets the stage for the rest of your day!

Interview with Turochas Fuad, Managing Director of WeWork Southeast Asia
We find out why co-working spaces continue to be so popular, how design and technology integrate for seamless productivity, and the future of shared work spaces.

WeWork provides over 320,000 members around the world with space, community, and services through both physical and virtual offerings. From startups and freelancers to small businesses and Fortune 500 companies, our community is united by a desire for our members to create meaningful work and lead meaningful lives—to be a part of something greater than ourselves.
That's how you're introduced to one of the most successful co-working spaces in Singapore (and arguably the world). 335 locations worldwide and 83 cities internationally speaks for something, doesn't it? We've seen an evident rise in shared workspaces within the past decade, a sign of the times. The working environment as we know it is changing. And as we step into the evolution, we see how one company stays on top of the game. Here, we talk to Managing Director of WeWork Southeast Asia, Turochas 'T' Fuad, on co-working spaces past, present and future.
ESQ: What has led to the rise of co-working spaces in the recent years?
There are huge shifts towards a new way of working and living. People are focused on meaningful connections and being part of something greater than themselves. While it is also a common perception that co-working spaces are targeted at start-ups, we are seeing multinational companies seeking to expand to an Asia home base that can help them attract talent in Asia and navigate the local landscape, collaborate with other creative thinkers and business leaders in the region and grow.
ESQ: How does WeWork stay ahead of its competition?
We are more than just space. We are a global platform of creators that help people to create a life, and not just a living. By focusing on what we do best—building communities and being at the forefront with our 8 years of experience—we are fostering greater collaboration made possible by our global network, where they are able to be tapped into a global community that is larger than just their company.
And while we're a global playbook, we operate with a local execution. Whenever we enter a new market, we work together with key partners and experts to help create the unique WeWork experience in that region. We start operations preparation early by spending time engaging with our communities and learning about local business culture long before we open the doors of a new location.
According to a new WeWork London Economic Impact Report, WeWork members in London surveyed report a 34% increase in revenue growth after joining WeWork. The WeWork economy also creates a 2.1x economic multiplier in London, meaning for every WeWork member, an additional 1.1 jobs are supported through indirect and induced spending.
ESQ: Tell us about how technology and design integrate into the WeWork experience.
Our glass offices promote a sense of transparency and community between members and also allow natural light to permeate as deep into the space as possible. Having that connection to the outside world and a natural sense of time awareness is important psychologically for anyone, particularly during work.
Our goal is to provide multiple options in terms of energy level and noise, depending on what activity and mood people are in at a given time of day. Our common areas tend to be bustling with lots of people and music playing, which yields a fantastic, infectious energy ideal for meetings and hanging out.
Colour and Decor
We focus on having a very strongly residential feel as opposed to a commercial one. Warm, inviting and cozy like a living room to make people feel comfortable while they work. Another crucial technique we employ is biophilia, the human connection to nature. Apart from adding plants and greenery, we use natural materials like wood, stone, leather and other similar mediums to generate an environment that has proven to make people lessed stress, more at ease, and creative.
We have a dedicated R&D team that monitors our workspace usage and designs our locations so that it is optimized for our members' needs. By leveraging proptech, we increase worksite communications and accelerate the building process, curate every facet of the member experience, even track, measure, plan and monitor our rapidly growing global RE portfolio.
We also provide our members with an app, MENA, that allows them to connect seamlessly with the community and to manage their workspace experience. By enabling them to connect virtually with other members around the world, the app also includes formal and informal events to encourage digital and personal collaborations.
ESQ: Are there any interesting examples of how WeWork has fostered connectivity or community between different businesses?
Indeed's Singapore Engineering Centre grew with us from Beach Centre. In June, it upgraded to an office suite for up to 50
people, as of now, the expanded team has moved into a bigger dedicated office that takes up an entire floor for 191 staff—all within the same location where the team has also noticed a rise in engagement between their engineers and the community.
ESQ: Do you see more of existing companies switching to use co-working spaces, or startups that use co-working spaces as a launching pad before getting their own properties?
We are seeing increased interest from multinational corporations. More capital at WeWork's disposal yields a greater ability to take on bigger buildings. This, in turn, allows WeWork's team to have conversations with big companies about taking larger portions of their teams.
As enterprises are also at war to attract and retain the best talent in the marketplace, the question here really is how are we supporting them through our space and community to help them attract and retain the best people to drive their mission. As we understand how workspace is more than a lease, WeWork is accelerating how such enterprises move to the next frontier.
For instance, using our Culture OS to organize and operate culture, WeWork's offerings such as Powered by We enables WeWork to work with a member company to build or renovate a space, equip it with new technology and ultimately operate the space to understand how employees interact with it and each other.
ESQ: Where do you see the future of co-working spaces in the next decade?
[It has to be] going beyond a space provider alone. WeWork was founded with community in mind, and have since diversified our offerings. Rise by We is the first wellness facility that offers community-based group fitness, multiple boutique studios, wellness programs, personal training and a complete spa experience all under one roof.
WeLive is community-based apartment living. It's hassle-free and amenity-full so that our members can focus on their passions and live more fulfilling lives. We believe there is still a lot of opportunities for this product to continue growing and scaling to disrupt the traditional multi-family housing industry, which has failed to innovate for decades.
Whether it's work, living, education, wellness, or retail, we can reimagine and reshape the architecture of our space, buildings, and cities to support and encourage human connection and creativity.
ESQ: Which is a personal favourite WeWork space in Singapore? Why?
WeWork Beach Centre. Being the first Singapore and Southeast Asia location, this space has its own unique yet laidback vibe that will always serve as a reminder for our humble beginnings in accelerating the future of work in Southeast Asia.
