What is New Haven-Style Pizza? And How Do You Even Say Apizza?
We all love a good pizza, but in New Haven, locals are crazy about apizza. In this part of Connecticut, pizzerias pay tribute to Naples with its pronounciation of the word pizza ("ah-beetz") while putting their own spin on the classic Neapolitan pie.
Methods vary slightly from place to place in New Haven pizzerias, but the hallmarks are generally the same. The dough is proofed overnight in the fridge, giving it a richer flavor than your average crust. When pulled from the intensely hot brick oven, the crust is dotted with charred black spots. The final product is a pie that strikes the perfect balance between crunchy and chewy with a bright and tangy tomato sauce. In fact, the crust and sauce are so cherished that hardcore devotees view the cheese as an afterthought.
If you've ever wondered why pizza lovers fuss over New Haven-style pies, this is the guide for you.
Stay original. #WhiteClamPie

A good white clam pizza is life-changing.
Frank Pepe Pizzeria Napoletana – known simply as "Pepe's" – is the originator of the New Haven-style apizza and, specifically, the white clam pie. Slightly briny but inarguably delicious, the white clam pie is dressed with olive oil, fresh garlic, parsley, and grated romano cheese. Pepe's veterans also like to add super-smoky bacon to the mix for a truly heavenly combination.
Cheese is not the focus.
Ordering a plain pie in the United States usually conjures up a pie with a healthy dose of mozzarella cheese on top. That's not the case in New Haven, where patrons must specify whether their pie should come with "mootz" or "no mootz."
Mozzarella is certainly not frowned upon, but many of the classic offerings are intended to be served with just a sprinkling of grated cheese on top. Don't let anything stop you from getting mootz on your pizza, but you may want to abstain when it comes to the white clam pie or the special summertime fresh tomato pie.

Why is a round New Haven-style pizza not quite round?
The shape of New Haven-style pizzas is often characterized as oblong, but it's something closer to the form of a circle with oval-like qualities. The slices of this asymmetrical "round" pie are hardly uniform, but the pizza is positively perfect on the whole.
Hangry. 😅 (📷: @bostonfoodgram)

Is New Haven-style pizza still made with coal-fired ovens?
Pepe's continues to bake its pies in a coal-fire oven, just as Frank did when he started serving pizzas in 1925. Sally's – the parlor launched by Frank's nephew Salvatore Consiglio when he struck out on his own in the 30s – has also stayed the course for the last 80-plus years. Others, such as Modern Apizza, have since updated the kitchen to a cleaner-burning oil-fueled setup.
No matter the fuel source, New Haven pizzas are always cooked at extremely hot temperatures. The scorching heat gives the crust its signature color and slightly earthy flavor and allows the pizza to be cooked in a matter of minutes. It's a lightning-quick bake, but the wait time at New Haven's most popular pizzerias is always lengthy thanks to the high demand.
New Haven pizza has discovered new horizons.
Today, Pepe's boasts ten outposts with locations in Connecticut, New York, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Meanwhile, "rival" Sally's Apizza is set to branch out from its Wooster Street digs thanks to a new ownership group that intends to open new locations in other parts of the U.S.
We wholeheartedly recommend a pizza pilgrimage to New Haven, but the continued spread of apizza is excellent news for those who can't fit it on the schedule.

Many words have been used to describe the 112th Congress. It has been called 'lackluster,' 'unproductive,' and even the 'worst Congress ever.' The legacy the 112th leaves is that of polarized division. It was a Congress that put partisan politics before solving the nation's biggest problems.
Political analysts and pundits expected an eleventh hour compromise on the fiscal cliff, but Congress failed to put together a deal before the end-of-year deadline.
Now, some House Republicans (specifically Speaker John Boehner) are coming under fire for not taking up a Senate bill that would provide $60.4 billion in disaster relief to states affected by Hurricane Sandy back in October.
Personal politics got in the way of a bill that should have been passed long before the last week of the congressional session and should have had no problem getting bipartisan support.
The last two years have been marred by a severe lack of cooperation from elected officials on Capitol Hill. Even disaster relief was treated as a political game in the end. As divided as the 112th Congress has been, many people are shocked by the refusal to take up the bill.
This is a Congress that had absolutely no achievements. The only thing it will be remembered for is being one of the most polarized sessions in U.S. history and passing the fewest laws; even fewer than the infamous "Do-Nothing Congress" of 1947.
Republicans and Democrats point the finger of blame at the other side, but that is all voters have seen from their representatives. For certain factions within Congress, scoring political points was more important than addressing the needs of the American people.
Compromise has been a key part of American politics since the early years of the Republic. The country was founded by people who didn't all share the same political philosophy, but they shared a common goal and purpose. History is filled with many examples of elected officials who put personal politics aside for the sake of the country because it was necessary.
Congress didn't act on what was necessary. Elected officials in both the House and the Senate didn't put the country first. They cared more about partisan agendas than the oath they swore to uphold.
The 113th Congress will be sworn in on Thursday. Whether people are hopeful or skeptical that elected officials in Washington can change course, one thing is certain: The 112th Congress will not be missed.

Q: What are the "rwxp" sections in /proc/pid/smaps (linux) I have a C++ gcc leaking program with 326 sections like the following
33300000-33500000 rwxp 33300000 00:00 0
Size:              2048 kB
Rss:                620 kB
Shared_Clean:         0 kB
Shared_Dirty:         0 kB
Private_Clean:      244 kB
Private_Dirty:      376 kB

I was wondering what kind of allocation cause additions of 2MB writable code segments to the program.
Usually I see such sections which are used as stack memory for threads but they are 10 MB large.

A: r = read
w = write
x = execute
s = shared
p = private (copy on write)

A:
Usually I see such sections which are used as stack memory for threads

Yes, it is exceedingly likely that you are leaking threads. You can confirm this by looking in /proc/<pid>/task and checking whether you have 326 threads more than you expect. Alternatively, GDB info thread will also list all threads.
Note: the fact that your stacks are executable means that you don't have GNU_STACK segment in your binary or one of its required shared libraries, which is a generally a bad idea.

but they are 10 MB large.

The size of stack segments depends on current ulimit -s setting, as well as any setrlimit(..., RLIMIT_STAck, ...) or pthread_attr_setstacksize() calls that the application itself may perform.

A: After more research I've found that the process was allocating large memory chunks using malloc.
But when malloc sees that the required allocation size is too large for the heap (see MMAP_THRESHOLD) it allocates the memory by calling mmap.
At the end of the day it was a regular memory leak, except the allocations were especially large and caused direct mmap calls.

What ex-Facebook employee wants you to know about Silicon Valley
June 28, 2016 / 3:08 PM / CBS News
Ex-Facebook employee's account of life in Silicon Valley
Ex-Facebook employee's account of life in Silicon Valley 06:24
Ex-Facebook employee Antonio Garcia Martinez wants people to know Silicon Valley isn't really the way it's portrayed.
"It's often painted as a very meritocratic sifting of the best and the brightest," Martinez told "CBS This Morning" Tuesday. In fact, he says, "It's all connections, happenstance, sheer luck, fate, etc."
Martinez sold his own start-up company to Twitter before getting hired by Facebook -- a company that later ousted him. In his new book, "Chaos Monkeys," he provides an unvarnished account of Facebook's stop-at-nothing culture, detailing 14-hour work days, eating all three meals at the office and doing nothing but writing and reviewing code.
Martinez said he wanted to capture the moment in Facebook's history when it went from "scrappy startup" to one where "middle managers were fighting it out for fiefdoms and somebody loses and becomes the 'Game of Thrones.'"
Mike Judge: "Silicon Valley" humor sparked by "awkward" tech culture
"Silicon Prairie," America's new entrepreneurial frontier
Comparing Mark Zuckerberg to Napoleon and Fidel Castro, Martinez describes the Facebook CEO as a "keeper of a messianic vision... that presents an overwhelming and all-consuming picture of a new and different world."
Martinez -- whose parents were Cuban exiles -- said he was referring specifically to a moment when Zuckerberg gathered his employees in a big tent in the parking lot of the then-unfinished campus of Facebook and gave a rousing speech, shortly after announcing the company was going public.
Zuckerberg meets conservatives amid Facebook bias charges 02:41
"We had slogans on the walls, we were all wearing a uniform. It all felt very North Korean or Cuban, almost. And so in that moment, I just realized... the motive force in history, which is one egomaniac's twitchy drive and then the common man's desire to be part of a compelling story -- which is what we were, we just were bit players in Zuckerberg's story," Martinez said.
What do the "chaos monkeys" of the book title represent?
"Picture a wild monkey running through a computer data center, punching boxes and pulling on cables," Martinez explained. "There's actually a software that tests -- built by Netflix actually -- the back ends of a lot of the services that you use. As a metaphor, what I mean is that Silicon Valley is like the 'chaos monkeys' of society."
As an example, he said, entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley "run around and they pull the plugs on things -- like taxi medallions via Uber or hotels via Airbnb," and then "we as a society see if we survive their depredations."
In the book, Martinez also describes women in the Bay area -- where the tech industry is notoriously dominated by single, young men -- as "soft," "weak," "naive" and "full of s***."
"What I try to portray in 'Chaos Monkeys' is the truth of Silicon Valley, obviously without any judgment whatsoever," Martinez explained. "That is a part of Silicon Valley, for better or worse." He notes that he was making a comparison to a woman in the book "who is now the mother of my children, who is very much not that."
Martinez also said that he believes the work culture varies across different companies. Speaking about his own experiences with Facebook and Twitter, Martinez said while Facebook was similar to the Roman empire where "the strong emperor in power tries to conquer the world," Twitter was more chaotic and impromptu.

Q: install mongoDB (child process failed, exited with error number 100) I tried to install mongoDB on my macbook air.
I've downloaded zipped file from official website and extract that file and move to root directory.
After that, under that directory, I've made /data/db and /log folder.
Here is my mongodb.config which describes the basic config for my DB.
dbpath = /mongodb/data/db
logpath = /mongodb/log/mongo.log
logappend = true
#bind ip = 127.0.0.1
port = 27017

fork = true
rest = true
verbose = true
#auth = true
#noauth = true

Additionally, I want to know what the # means in the config file.
I put this file to /mongodb/bin, /mongodb is the directory I extracted the files into.
I opened terminal and entered ./mongod --config mongodb.config and I got this back.
Juneyoung-ui-MacBook-Air:bin juneyoungoh$ ./mongod --config mongodb.config
about to fork child process, waiting until server is ready for connections.
forked process: 1775
all output going to: /mongodb/log/mongo.log
ERROR: child process failed, exited with error number 100

How can I handle this error and what this means?

A: There was the same problem on my machine. In the log file was:

Mon Jul 29 09:57:13.689 [initandlisten] ERROR: Insufficient free space for journal file
  Mon Jul 29 09:57:13.689 [initandlisten] Please make at least 3379MB available in /var/mongoexp/rs2/journal or use --smallfiles

It was solved by using mongod --smallfiles. Or if you start mongod with --config option than in a configuration file disable write-ahead journaling by nojournal=true (remove the beginning #). Some more disk space would also solve the above problem.

A: It's because you probably didn't shutdown mongodb properly and you are not starting mongodb the right way. According your mongodb.config, you have dbpath = /mongodb/data/db - so I assume you created the repository /mongodb/data/db? Let me clarify all the steps.

*

*TO START MONGODB

In your mongodb.config change the dbpath = /mongodb/data/db to dbpath = /data/db. On your terminal create the db repository by typing: mkdir /data/db. Now you have a repository - you can start your mongo.
To start mongo in the background type: mongod --dbpath /data/db --fork --logpath /dev/null.

*

*/data/db is the location of the db.

*--fork means you want to start mongo in the background - deamon.

*--logpath /dev/null means you don't want to log - you can change that by replacing /dev/null to a path like /var/log/mongo.log

*TO SHUTDOWN MONGODB

Connect to your mongo by typing: mongo and then use admin and db.shutdownServer(). Like explain in mongoDB
If this technique doesn't work for some reason you can always kill the process.
Find the mongodb process PID by typing: lsof -i:27017 assuming your mongodb is running on port 27017
Type kill <PID>, replace <PID> by the value you found the previous command.

A: The data folders you created were very likely created with sudo, yes? They are owned by root and are not writable by your normal user. If you are the only user of your macbook, then change the ownership of the directories to you:
sudo chown juneyoungoh /data
sudo chown juneyoungoh /data/db
sudo chown juneyoungoh /data/log

If you plan on installing this on a public machine or somewhere legit, then read more about mongo security practices elsewhere. I'll just get you running on your macbook.

A: Similar issue with the same error - I was trying to run the repair script
sudo -u mongodb mongod -f /etc/mongodb.conf --repair
Checked ps aux | grep mongo and see that the daemon was running. Stopped it and then the repair script run without an issue.
Hope that could be helpful for someone else.

A: I had the same error on linux (Centos) and this worked for me

*

*Remove mongod.lock from the dbpath
$ rm /var/lib/mongo/mongod.lock

*Repair the mongod process
$ mongod --repair

*Run mongod config
$ mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf

A: I had a similar issue and it was not related to any 'sudo' problem. I was trying to recover from a kernel panic!
When I look at my data folder I found out a mongod.lock file was there. In my case this page helped a lot: http://docs.mongodb.org/manual/tutorial/recover-data-following-unexpected-shutdown/. As they explain,

if the mongod.lock is not a zero-byte file, then mongod will refuse to start.

I tested this solution in my environment and it works perfectly:

*

*Remove mongod.lock file.

*Repair the database: mongod --dbpath /your/db/path --repair

*Run mongod: mongod --dbpath /your/db/path

A: I had the same error. I ran it interactively to see the log.
2014-10-21T10:12:35.418-0400 [initandlisten] ERROR: listen(): bind() failed errno:48 Address already in use for socket: 0.0.0.0:27017

Then I used lsof to find out which process was using my port.
$ lsof -i:27017
COMMAND  PID     USER   FD   TYPE             DEVICE SIZE/OFF NODE NAME
mongod  2106 MYUSERID   10u  IPv4 0x635b71ec3b65b4a1      0t0  TCP *:27017 (LISTEN)

It was a mongod that I had forked previously and forgot to turn off (since I hadn't seen it running in my bash window).
Simply killing it by running kill 2106, enabled my process to run without the error 100.

A: Generally, this error comes when the mongod.conf file is not able to
find a certain path for
Database store
or log store
or maybe processid store
or maybe it's not getting the file permission to access the config directories and files which has been declared in mongod.conf
to resolve this error we need to observe the log generated by the MongoDB
it will clearly indicate whether which file or directory you MongoDB is not able to access
the above error may look like below screenshot

A: create folder "data" and "db" inside it, in "/" path of your server.
actually you should create or modify permissions of folder that the data is going to be stored!

DayZ hacked, but users' data remains secure
By Phil Savage
One of the benefits of a post-apocalypse is there's no more digitally vulnerable data. Unfortunately for Bohemia Interactive, they don't live in that after-world, only simulate it. And while DayZ is a game that's hosted more than it's fair share of jerks, normally it's at least in the spirit of anything-goes survival. Not this time, though: Bohemia have confirmed that their servers were attacked by hackers. The good news is that players, and the game's development, are apparently unaffected.
Bohemia confirmed the attack in a statement made to RPS :
"We have recently detected an attack on some of our servers, the precise nature and scope of this attack is currently being extensively investigated. There were no user data on any of the servers. Current development goals and schedules for our games will not be affected by this attack.
"More information will follow as our investigation continues."
What Bohemia haven't confirmed is whether the source code was stolen. That's the suggestion made in this Reddit thread , which captures forum posters sharing pictures that they claim are of the game's code.
If that's the case, it opens the door for a potential flood of cheats and hacks to be introduced to the game. That could also explain the reason for the attack. As our recent feature uncovered, cheats are a multi-million dollar business .

Roller Drama review: Charming but flawed


Protective Supervision, part of the IHSS program, can be of great value for children who need to be observed 24 hours per day to protect them from injuries, hazards, or accidents.
An appeal system known as a due process hearing is an excellent means for parents who have been denied IHSS benefits for their children with disabilities. This process provides you with another chance to prove that your family qualifies for financial assistance through In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS).
timelines and a hearing involved. The matter can also involve going to court.
If you are already receiving IHSS services, file the request for the appeal during the 10 calendar days BEFORE the Notice of Action is effective. The benefits will not change until there is a hearing and a decision is issued.
A request for a hearing MUST be filed within 90 calendar days after the date of the county action or inaction. A written request for a rehearing must be filed within 30 calendar days of receipt after the decision is received. A request for a state hearing may be written or oral and there is a request form on the back of the Notice of Action. The request for a state hearing should include: the aid program involved (IHSS), the reason for the disagreement with the county action, if an interpreter is needed and what kind, and a copy of the applicable Notice of Action.
The IHSS denial challenge process always involves witnesses and evidence. Gather information about how the county IHSS worker determined the hours you were authorized.
Ask your case worker for a copy of the latest needs assessment forms. These county forms will include notes about why the hours were or were not authorized. Also ask for a copy of the most recent SOC 293 form. The SOC 293 forms include information on the functional ranking about what you can and cannot do. If you are challenging a reduction, ask for copies of both your new and your old county assessment forms and your new and old SOC 293 forms.
Ask for a copy of the sheets in your file where notes were made about contacts and visits with you over the last year.
Ask your IHSS case worker for a copy of the county's time-for-task guidelines. Remember, time-for-task guidelines may not be used for personal care tasks.
Ask your IHSS case worker for copies of any doctor or medical reports in your file and for copies of any paramedical forms.
After you file an appeal, you will receive information from the state about your hearing rights and they will also tell you the address and phone number of the county appeals worker. The county appeals worker is the person who will represent the county at the hearing. Your IHSS file is in that office.
Many appeals workers try to resolve a dispute without a hearing. The appeals workers are often more experienced and knowledgeable than the people you've dealt with in the local office. The appeals worker may call you about a "conditional withdrawal" so that a new assessment can be done. If you agree to a conditional withdrawal of your appeal, you have a right to have the hearing rescheduled if you disagree with the new assessment or their decision not to authorize retroactive benefits.
The county's statement of position will help you identify other evidence and witnesses you may need. If you do not get a copy until just before the hearing, you can ask to have the record left open to submit additional evidence (such as letters or statements) to respond to any statement in the county's position paper. Even if you get the county's statement of position in time, you may still ask to have the hearing record left open so that you may submit additional evidence.
During the hearing, the county goes first and says why your hours were cut or why you should not have the additional hours you believe are needed.
The hearing will involve the presentation of evidence (testimony by witnesses, letters, log, medical reports) about your needs in the service category areas where you and the county disagree. The evidence should explain what you need, how long it takes to provide the service, the reason you need more time than what is stated in the assessment or the county guidelines, and what risks you may be exposed to if you do not receive the level of services requested. IHSS fair hearings are informal. The important thing is to explain why you need more hours. The best evidence is from the people who provide care and who kept a record of the time it takes to care for your child.
Witnesses may include — in addition to the IHSS recipient — past and present IHSS providers, the regional center counselor, friends and family, etc. For each witness, list the points you want that witness to make and cross off each point as it is made.

Former nurse convicted of killing patients has died in prison
By: Melissa Hudson Facebook | Twitter
Posted: Sep 25, 2017 2:15 PM EST
MICHIGAN CITY, Ind. -- A former nurse convicted of killing six patients in the 1990s died in the Indiana State Prison on Sunday. Orville Lynn Majors, nicknamed the "Angel of Death" by the media, was 56-years-old.
Around 4:33 p.m. Sunday, officers were assisting with a medical pass for Majors who was breathing heavily, then became unresponsive.
Correctional staff performed CPR and used an AED to attempt to revive him.
He was taken to Franciscan Health Hospital where he was declared dead at 5:11 p.m.
The preliminary autopsy shows his death was due to natural causes.
Majors was a nurse in the ICU of the Vermillion County Hospital in Clinton, Indiana when there were a large number of patient deaths between 1993 and 1995.
He was charged with 7 counts of murder following a nearly 3 year investigation into the deaths of 165 patients in the ICU.
An epidemiologist noted an ICU patient was 43 times more likely to die when Majors was on duty.
Majors' trial generated national attention. He was convicted on six of the seven counts of murder and sentenced to 360 years in prison.
He wouldn't have been eligible for parole until 2177.

This Mini Cinnamon Apple Crisps Recipe post was sponsored by Entenmann's® Little Bites®. All opinions are my own.
For me, when I think of fall, the scent that always comes to mind is cinnamon. Cinnamon is one of those scents that makes me think of the autumn season no matter what time of year. This is my favorite time of year so it is no surprise that I tend to have a lot of recipes with cinnamon or other things we associate with fall.
I talk about Entenmann's® Little Bites® a lot on this blog. Everyone in my family loves Little Bites® so it was only natural that we would partner with them. We have created some fun recipes and attended some really cool events as part of this partnership. This month they asked us to come up with something fun for back to school. Since our kids love to create and assemble, we came up with a snack that is absolutely perfect for little hands to make and eat. This Mini Cinnamon Apple Crisps Recipe makes 15 mini crisps that your who family will love. That is, if you share.
Break up all of the Little Bites® muffins into small pieces. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silpat and bake for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. The goal here is to dry out the muffin crumbs.
After 20 minutes, remove muffin crumbs from oven and cool. Once cool, measure out 1 ½ cups of crumb and reserve the rest (it should only be a couple of tablespoons). Place the 1 ½ cups of crumb into a food processor and pulse until you have a finely ground crumbs.
Melt the butter in a medium sized sautee pan over medium heat. Add the apples and toss to coat with the butter. Add the sugar and cinnamon. Toss to coat, and then cook the apple mixture until any liquid that is released becomes thick (about 10 minutes). Set the apples aside to cool.
Using a small muffin pan, press the butter and crumb mixture into each muffin holder, creating a crust. Bake for 12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
When your kids are finished enjoying their Little Bites®, don't throw away those pouches! As part of its continued partnership with TerraCycle, Entenmann's® Little Bites® will run a collection contest to encourage schools to collect and recycle their snack pouches in celebration of the upcoming back-to-school season. Participants will be able to win free snacks and earn TerraCycle points, which can be redeemed for charitable donations to schools and non-profit organizations. TerraCycle is a global leader in recycling hard-to-recycle waste that aims to give back to the communities they serve by providing fundraising opportunities such as this one.
We hope that you loved our Mini Cinnamon Apple Crisps Recipe made with delicious Entenmann's® Little Bites® in the Snickerdoodle flavor. They were crisp, juicy and delicious. We will definitely make them again.

Q: Algorithm to find all combination from an array of objects Recently a friend of mine proposed to solve a simple problem and I'm struggle to find the best algorithm to solve it.
There's a list of athletes, every athlete has a name, a weight and can have multiple roles, at least 1 maximum 3 ( Internal, Median and External ).
A team is composed by 6 athletes ( 2 internals, 2 medians and 2 externals ).
There is also a weight limit which is at 540kg.
What is the best algorithm to find all possible combination for this problem?
Right now I find all combination iterating through the list of athletes, all of its roles and removing all combinations that overpass a limit.
Do you have any better algorithm to solve this problem?
What is the best method to approach a problem like this in order to solve it?
Thank you

A:
What is the best algorithm to find all possible combination for this problem?

In the worst case, where you have n >= 6 athletes, each weighing so little that the limit doesn't matter, and each able to play all roles, the number of teams grows very, very quickly, even if you don't want to multiply-count the teams that have the same set of players assigned to different roles.
The exact number in this case is "n choose 6" or:
n * (n - 1) * (n - 2) * (n - 3) * (n - 4) * (n - 5) / 720

This is an O(n6) problem. This is going to be slow no matter what if n is larger than, like, 30. Once n > 123, the quantity won't fit in an unsigned 32-bit integer anymore.
If the team size can vary, then the problem is O(nk), where k is the team size. This is no longer polynomial; in fact, it's harder than NP-Complete. It would be able to enumerate solutions to the Knapsack Problem, which is ♯P complete.[1]
Thus, this is an engineering problem more than it is an algorithms problem.

Right now I find all combination iterating through the list of athletes, all of its roles and removing all combinations that overpass a limit.

This is pretty much what I would do, only you can make it somewhat more efficient by pruning partial teams as early as possible. Here are some ideas I had:

*

*Sort the list of athletes by weight so that when you go over the weight limit, you can stop looking at the later athletes in the list.

*Keep track of how many roles have a possible athlete to fulfill them, given the partial team. When you reach the fifth member, you know the athlete must have a role in one of the shorthanded roles.

*

*For example, if you have a team of four athletes so far with no median players, you must only consider median players for the next two.

*To make this easier, create (sorted) auxiliary lists for each role that contain pointers to the players that can have that role.

Sinn Féin is now in a strong all-Ireland position
Posted By: March 26, 2017
Patrick Murphy.Irish News. Belfast. Saturday, March 25, 2017
IF the present state of Irish politics teaches us anything, it is that no-one could have foreseen the present state of Irish politics.
It is the outcome of a series of random and unpredictable events at home and abroad in recent months, which have produced an unusual degree of political flux.
Ireland's future has rarely been more uncertain.
One of the greatest areas of uncertainty surrounds Stormont and the impact, if any, which the sad and untimely death of Martin McGuinness might have on its long-term future.
As many politicians, both friend and foe, pointed out this week, he had a wonderful ability to reach a political solution. In a society in which politics is nine parts personality and one part policy, many now agree that, to a significant extent, Stormont was shaped by that personality.
Had he lived, we would normally have expected Stormont to return soon, after some extended deadlines.
But this time, things are different, not just because of his absence but because recent random events here and in Britain have dramatically changed the political situation, north, and south.
Events which have changed the Northern political landscape include the lack of public confidence in Stormont following the RHI scandal and continuing Nationalist anger at Arlene Foster, tempered only by her attendance at Martin McGuinness's funeral.
Equally significant has been the loss of the Unionist majority at Stormont, which might tempt the DUP to hold out for a second Assembly election, in the hope of performing significantly better.
In The South, Enda Kenny's fragile leadership position within Fine Gael leaves the future of his minority coalition increasingly insecure. An election is almost certain within the next year.
Sinn Féin's standing in the polls puts it in a strong position for joining the next government there, but much depends on how it plays its hand in The North.
Would it be better to distance itself from an under-performing Stormont or would it appear more responsible to reach a compromise with the DUP and return to government? Stormont's future culture and operation now rests increasingly on events in Dublin.
Perhaps the most unpredictable aspect of our future has been caused by Brexit. While it was clear that Britain was uncomfortable with the EU concept of a single European state, few envisaged that the British government would also leave the single market.
Brexit has once again placed the Border at the heart of Irish politics. SF is now leading the campaign, North and South, to solve the challenge of a new economic border by advocating the removal of the long-established political one.
The party's success in setting the political agenda in both Irish states has already had an impact in Dublin.
Ninety years after it was founded, Fianna Fáil is now "working on" a 12-point plan for a united Ireland.
Among its 12 points will be an all-Ireland schools curriculum, beginning with history (that should be interesting) and English (but not Irish).
Not to be outdone, Fine Gael is proposing to allow Irish citizens across the world, including in The North, the right to vote in Irish presidential elections.
Although both parties' tactics are an attempt to head off Sinn Féin's campaign for a Border poll, their belated efforts to highlight post-Brexit partition may do more to boost Sinn Féin's campaign than to subvert it.
Meanwhile, in The North, the possibility of Scottish independence leaves Unionism unsure of its future and the loss of its parliamentary majority in Belfast has not yet been commented on by loyalist paramilitaries.
We can only await their reaction to the idea of special EU status for a Northern Ireland possibly linked only to England and Wales.
If we throw in Donald Trump's stated policy of returning jobs to America, the future of the Irish economy, North and South, represents additional uncertainty in a changing global economy.
However, out of chaos comes opportunity and the greatest chance to influence events would appear to lie with Sinn Féin, which is now in a strong all-Ireland position. Although it took advantage of any opportunities which came its way, it would appear to have benefited from a unique set of unforeseen circumstances.
What it decides this weekend and over the next few months will clarify at least part of Ireland's future. You might argue that what Sinn Féin now needs is a plan, but recent events would suggest otherwise.
In what might have been a reference to Ireland's present political situation, Mark Twain said that predictions are hard to make, especially about the future.
In that context Sinn Féin's best plan might be not to have one. Well, not just yet.

Last week my left ear got plugged up and it was difficult for me to hear out of it for about 48 hours. It was scary and challenging. Thankfully everything was okay, it's all clear now, and I'm able to hear just fine out of both ears.
Having this happen was yet another example of how easy it is for me to take something simple, but very important (like hearing), for granted. Sadly, we often don't appreciate the simple things in life until they're threatened, impacted, or taken away from us in some way.
What if we did appreciate the simple things all the time, in an authentic way? What kind of an impact would that have on our lives, our work, and our relationships? Dramatic, to say the least!
The book A Thousand Things Went Right Today, by Ilan Shamir, is all about this phenomenon. Think about all the simple things that have fallen into place, just today, to allow you to be sitting here, reading these words right now.
When we're difficult to impress we also make it hard to be happy, grateful, and fulfilled. When we allow ourselves to be easily impressed, life gets much more fun and interesting. Appreciation is fundamentally subjective. People and things are only valuable (or not) based upon our perception of them.
If you're interested in living a life filled with passion, success, and gratitude, it's in your best interest to allow yourself to be authentically amazed all the time. Life is a miracle. People are incredible. You are fantastic. And, these things are only true if we pay attention to them and allow ourselves to be impressed by the greatness of life, others, and ourselves.
2) Be Hard to Offend – Being hard to offend is not about us abandoning our values or convictions, it's more about choosing to allow other people and things be exactly as they are, without resistance of judgment.
We take so many things personally that have nothing to do with us at all. The more we react to something, the less freedom and peace we have. When I get really "triggered" by someone or something, if I make it all about the other person or the thing I'm focusing on, I usually miss the real gift, the lesson, and the point (i.e. the shadow or mirror that this "negative" thing is showing me about myself and life).
We are not victims of the people or circumstances in our lives. Others don't actually have the power to offend us. As Eleanor Roosevelt so brilliantly stated, "No one can make me feel inferior without my permission." This same phenomenon is true about being offended. It's a choice we make and we have the power to choose not to be offended in almost every situation.
Unfortunately, most of us (myself included) have these two things flipped upside. In other words, we're often very difficult to impress and quite easy to offend. And, as you may have noticed, this doesn't work so well for us and those around us. How we can start flipping this around (becoming more easily impressed and harder to offend) is by appreciating simple things.
Take a moment right now to pause and put your attention on all of the simple things you can appreciate in this moment. Look around where you are, go within yourself, and scan your life right now – focusing on what you appreciate. You can just think about these things, talk about them with someone else, or write them down (on a piece of paper, in your journal, in an electronic document, on my blog or your blog, and more). It doesn't really matter what form it takes, this is about putting our conscious attention on some of the many simple things we can appreciate in this moment.
Some of these things while "simple," may be quite significant (your health, your job, your most important relationships, etc.) And, even if you focus on very basic stuff (the fact that you have a computer or device that allows you to access this article, that your eyes work well enough to read it, that the electricity or battery power running your computer or device is allowing it to function, and more), your ability to recognize and appreciate the "good stuff" in life is directly related to your level of fulfillment and enjoyment.
We always have a choice as to what we pay attention to, what we focus on, and what we appreciate (or don't). Make a commitment to yourself to appreciate the simple things in your life in a genuine and ongoing way, and see what happens!

Clarenville's Dr. van der Linde named emergency physician of the year for rural areas
Jonathan Parsons (jonathan.parsons@thepacket.ca)
Dr. Etienne van der Linde receiving his Emergency Physician of the Year award from CAEP president Dr. Alecs Chochinov. - Contributed
HALIFAX, N.S. —
No one knows the importance of rural medicine like Dr. Etienne van der Linde, site chief of the Dr. G.B. Cross Memorial Hospital in Clarenville.
On May 27, van der Linde was honoured by the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians (CAEP) as one of the annual emergency physicians of the year. He was presented with the award in Halifax at the CAEP conference.
Having lived and worked in Clarenville for 18 years, van der Linde is an advocate for rural health care and fittingly, was presented with the award as one of the five rural and small urban physicians who were nominated and selected by their peers across the country. This was the first time there was a rural category for the award.
"It represents an important step forward in national recognition for the practice of emergency medicine, not just in urban locations, but inclusive of rural locations," said van der Linde.
Calling the honour humbling, he's also proud to represent rural Canada with the recognition. He told The Packet he'd never trade in his position for one in a bustling metropolitan city.
"I believe in rural communities and I believe rural people matter," he continued. "We're supposed to get the same standard of care as anybody in an urban location. The public deserves that as well."
He says rural recognition is important, and he hopes – through proper representation – important issues like attracting physicians to small communities will continue to be addressed.
"I truly believe it's in the rural public's interest that we actively advocate, not just emergency medicine, but for rural medical care in general," said van der Linde.
Doctors are mobile by nature, he says. You either "get" rural or you don't. While many physicians end up in large urban centres, he also thinks there are many benefits to rural areas as well.
Now, van der Linde in continuing to promote rural health care. He is the chairman of the rural and small urban section of the CAEP, after the annual general meeting, he is now in the same role for the CAEP board of directors.
It's the first time a doctor from Newfoundland and Labrador has been a member in either an urban or rural capacity. He will now be able to contribute with how Canadian emergency medicine policy standards and guidelines are set.
Combined with his involvement with other organizations, he will continue to advocate for matters that affect those in rural communities, like patient accessibility, rural resources and staffing and more.
Van der Linde says he's interested in and actively working with Memorial University's emergency medical program, continuing training for doctors and spreading across the province.
"Part of this is motivation to look rural and look what can be achieved rural," he says. "And we're actively engaging with Memorial University to expand the emergency medicine program to our smallest, little rural emergency department."
Looking back on his time as a physician, van der Linde looks ahead to everything he can do to improve health care in places like this region.
"It can be a challenging environment, but it has never ceased to provide me with immense job satisfaction over the past 30 years," he says.
"It is, and always has been, a privilege to serve and advocate for rural patients. Rural matters."

Welcome to Chad
Chad is a dusty swathe country at the very center of the continent; a sun-baked country that has pride in showcasing its striking sub-Saharan scene. The country gained independence in 1960, after the departure of the French.
Chad majorly depends on subsistence agriculture, making provisions for millet, sorghum and groundnuts. One can conclude that the nation is the point of meeting of the Arabs in Africa as well as the Blacks in Africa. A developing nation that was once a slave market now turns to offer a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in respect of its traditions.
The capital of Chad remains N'Djamena, a nice and laid back destination that features the wonderful Central Market, where exists the experience of African goods. Lake Chad was among the largest freshwater lakes in the world, and still holds the striking sight to check-out. It still serves a huge economic importance, offering water to various countries around. Chad has a lot to offer when it comes to attractions, there are lots of things you can enjoy.
The series of attractions features the Zakouma National Game Park, wide collection of animals ranging from lions, elephants, and beasts to giraffes. There are also amazing mountains in this area, which can allure a person.
Hold a warm jacket if you would want to come in winter. The temperatures are favorable ranging from 20-25 Degrees Centigrade. You can decide to come along with cool clothes during summer, as the weather is very hot and increases to 45 Degrees centigrade.

Baltimore Ravens Cincinnati Bengals
Finley struggles in debut, Bengals remain only winless team

CINCINNATI (AP) — So much for thinking a different quarterback could make a difference.
The Bengals gave rookie Ryan Finley his debut and finally got their running game going in front of another sparse crowd at Paul Brown Stadium. The outcome? Pretty much the same.
Ravens 49, Bengals 13 .
Cincinnati remains the NFL's only winless team after another game of offensive ineptitude and defensive breakdowns. Lamar Jackson threw for three touchdowns and ran 47 yards for another score as the Ravens jumped on the 0-9 Bengals early and coasted.
"There's a ton to work on," Finley said.
Yep. And it goes way beyond the guy taking the snaps.
Jackson went 15 of 17 — a Ravens completion record — for 223 yards with a perfect passer rating of 158.3. He also ran seven times for 65 yards.
It went bad right from the start for Cincinnati. Marquise Brown got behind the coverage for a 49-yard catch on Baltimore's first play. Jackson completed passes of 49 and 19 yards in a blink-of-an-eye touchdown drive. And it never got much better.
The Ravens piled up 230 yards on their first three drives, all ending in touchdowns.
"That's a really powerful offense right now that many teams haves shown no solution to stopping," coach Zac Taylor said.
And then there's Finley.
The Bengals benched Andy Dalton during their bye to give the fourth-round pick a chance to audition for the starting job next season. Finley hadn't played since the preseason, when he faced opponents' backups. He hadn't worked out much with the starting offense until last week.
And he had the same challenges as Dalton, missing top receivers A.J. Green and John Ross.
The Bengals took some of the pressure off Finley by giving the ball to running back Joe Mixon a career-high 30 times. He ran for a season-high 114 yards, but it didn't much matter as Finley had two turnovers that gave the Ravens touchdowns.
Marcus Peters read the rookie's eyes and stepped in front of a sideline pass, returning the interception 89 yards for a touchdown. Tyus Bowser returned Finley's fumble 33 yards for another score.
The interception by Peters came on a throw to Alex Erickson that was slightly off, allowing the cornerback to step in front cleanly for the interception.
"He just jumped it," Finley said. "He gambles, and he gambled right. It was just a bad throw."
Finley finished 16 of 30 for 167 yards with a touchdown , the one interception and a pair of sacks. He also scrambled five times for 22 yards. Taylor plans to keep him in the starter's role as the Bengals decide whether to take a quarterback in the first round of the draft next year.
"All I can do is play my best, and give energy and give juice, and go help this team win its first game," Finley said. "So that's the plan."
The loss was the Bengals' 11th in a row from the end of last season, matching the longest losing streak in club history over two seasons. They're one loss shy of tying the club record for worst start and longest losing streak in one season.
The Bengals distributed 45,918 tickets for the game. Fans in the upper deck hung a banner that said, "If You Fix It, Dey Will Come."
Asked to describe the feeling, receiver Tyler Boyd declined.
"I can't even, because I've never experienced this before," Boyd said. "I've never been on a winless team up until this point."

Q: Need help resolving and understanding a few errors in mongodb using Pycharm I am learning python 3.0 and using it with mongodb to try and make a blog, as being instructed by an udemy tutorial. However, even though I did exactly as shown in the video, I'm not getting the correct result. My python code is:
import pymongo

uri="mongodb://127.0.0.1:56752"

client=pymongo.MongoClient(uri)

database=client["fullstack"]

collections=database["student"]

student=collections.find({})

for i in student:

    print(i)

I have checked the current port number, which is matching with the mongod terminal:
2017-03-30T04:57:31.250+0530 I NETWORK  [thread1] connection accepted from 127.0.0.1:56752 #1 (1 connection now open)
2017-03-30T04:57:31.251+0530 I NETWORK  [conn1] received client metadata from 127.0.0.1:56752 conn1: { application: { name: "MongoDB Shell" }, driver: { name: "MongoDB Internal Client", version: "3.4.2" }, os: { type: "Darwin", name: "Mac OS X", architecture: "x86_64", version: "16.4.0" } }

However, on running the code, its showing a few errors as in:

    self._error_message(selector))
pymongo.errors.ServerSelectionTimeoutError: 127.0.0.1:56752: [Errno 61] Connection refused

Process finished with exit code 1

In the tutorial, the local database we had created earlier is being shown, ie the json type structures.
So far, the differences I've faced from the tutorial is:

*

*I had to use sudo mongod to run it properly, while they used mongod

*I had to use sudo killall -15 to kill the mongod processes when launching a new terminal after closing my last mongod tab

*I'm using a updated version of pymongo than the one in the video
Any help would be highly appreciated.Thank you.

A: Just connect to mongodb://127.0.0.1 with no port number - MongoDB is listening on the default port, 27017. The port you see in the log, 56752, is the client temporary port you connected from, ignore it.

The year in music: The 10 best Jersey songs of 2019
What exit for great music?
Any exit in New Jersey will do. Once again, lots of great music came out of the Garden State this year and now it's time to take a look at the best singles from New Jersey indie musicians in 2019. We judged them on quality, impact and importance, and here they are, in alphabetical order:
[Subscribe to the Asbury Park Press and download the app for the latest on the New Jersey music scene]
"Atlantic City" featuring Shawn Rock and Nina Blue — There are a few very well known songs about Atlantic City, including "Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen and "On the Boardwalk (of Atlantic City)" by Dick Haymes from the 1940s. But there's nothing like "Atlantic City" by Shawn Rock and Nina Blue, a hip-hop charmer. "When you're down on your luck, we always let you bet again," rhymes Rock.
"Coastlines" by Lowlight — Asbury Park's Lowlight went coast to coast for their song "Coastlines." It's a soaring, guitar-fueled gem from their latest album, "Endless Bummer," and another reason to keep your eyes on these guys.
"Grace" by Pam Flores — Pam Flores had the blues in 2019, and that was good news for local music fans. "Grace" was a hard-soul stunner that went so deep, it was almost eerie.
"Ebony Ronin" by Eloh Kush and John Robinson — What do you get when two Jersey underground hip-hop icons team up? It's Eloh Kush of Angelz Inc. and John Robinson of Scienz of Life on "Ebony Ronin." The title track is a portentous statement of mission and a serious head nodder.
"Everything Earned" by Bulletproof Belv — Asbury Park's Bulletproof Belv has been turning out high-quality hip-hop in great quantities over the last few years. In 2019, he dropped the ace album "Everything Earned." Try not to hum the title track after you've heard it.
"I Love You Always Forever" by Remember Jones — Asbury Park's Remember Jones infuses a little Otis Redding vibe into Donna Lewis' 1990s era hit, "I Love You Always Forever," and it's a delight.
"Incredible Hulk" by Cymarshall Law — New Brunswick hip-hop legend Cymarshall Law hulked out in 2019. His single "Incredible Hulk" was powered by Gamma Rays and built to smash the competition. Hulk like!
[ The trusted place to find the best home service providers. Find local pros. ]
"Like I Got It" by AK — "What I bring to the table? I got the best damn plate," rhymes AK on "Like I Got It." The South Brunswick hip-hop wunderkind is building an impressive catalog, and "Like I Got It" cleans up the competition.
"Money Talk" by Big Boss Noff featuring HeroGawd — Eatontown's Big Boss Noff may be relatively new on the scene, but he already knows money talks. "Money Talk" has lots of moxie and nicely frames Noff's easy drawl rhyming style.
More:Judge uses Bruce Springsteen song to teach Tekashi 6ix9ine a lesson at sentencing
More:Big bands, big stars brought holiday music cheer to Asbury Park boardwalk on a big night
"Quick Love" by Matty Carlock and Cassanova — Matty Carlock is the renaissance man of the Jersey Shore music scene. He released an excellent album of rockers called "The Jailbirds" in 2019, but his "Quick Love" collab with hip-hop's Casanova has a soaring transcendent appeal that boldly finds a new lane.

INTERVIEW : Zowie
We don't quite know what's going on on the other side of the 'ditch' right now, but New Zealand is fast gaining a reputation as a breeding ground for hot new pop talent. In recent years, we've been captivated by the likes of Ladyhawke, Brooke Fraser, Kids Of 88, Dane Rumble and Gin Wigmore… Even Australian Idol wasn't safe from the talent of Aotearoa's Stan Walker.
Now we've opened the gate to another hot new cross-Tasman star. 20 year old Zowie is primed to take the pop world by storm with her debut Australian single 'Bite Back' and with high profile support coming from the likes of Perez Hilton and Mark Ronson, she has every chance of success.
We plonked down for a natter with Zowie and asked her what the devil is going on in New Zealand with all these new artists.
"I don't know – something in the water perhaps," she laughs. "I was asked this a couple of days ago, actually. I don't know what it is. It's really cool though and we're all a tight knit group."
The musical story for Zowie started when she was quite young. But surprisingly it wasn't in front of a microphone that she felt the most comfortable.
"I studied drumming at music school. When I was there I started getting into groups where I was using my vocals a bit more… More yelping and screeching in punk type bands," she recalls. "Then I accidentally created this character called 'Bionic Pixie'. I don't really remember what happened. I think I was mad about something and I just started to write some tracks on a music program.
"People started to really like it and I then won a grant to play at the APRA Song Summit here in Sydney. I put on my first Bionic Pixie show in early 2008, but over time I realized that I'd really want her to evolve into another character," she said.
We ask if she then purposefully tried to kill 'Bionic Pixie' off.
"Well no, because Zowie is still a bionic pixie, but now she's a stronger kind of person and just evolved. Just different. The songs have got better and it felt like the right time to move on, but she's still a bionic pixie," she enthuses, speaking about herself in the third person. It doesn't go unnoticed.
"Sometimes it's confusing for people, but you're doing well," she encourages with a laugh.
It was during her days as a 'Bionic Pixie' that Zowie first raised a few record company type eyebrows. Gracing the stage at the 2009 Big Day Out in Wellington, she was blissfully unaware of just who might be watching her set.
"We were the first band on at about 10:30 in the morning and I was whinging that no-one was going to be there, but still excited, obviously. But then we got on stage and the whole field was packed out. Obviously everyone goes to the first stage when you're the first band playing, but in the crowd were heaps of representatives from Universal and Sony and all those labels.
"Over that year I started chatting to publishers and labels. Sony just felt right for me and the people understood what I wanted to do and were happy to do my thing as well. Then in January 2010 they signed me in Australia," she beams.
Her debut Australian single is the super-infectious 'Bite Back' – a delicious grinding electro pop masterpiece with a feisty get-outta-my-way swagger. It's a topic of great excitement for Zowie.
"I wrote 'Bite Back' in the middle of last year and over the few months just started working more on the production side of things. I wrote it with a guy called Timmy Anderson. He's in a band called 'I'm A Robot' over there and we just clicked straight away. The song happened super quick and it just felt really right because it never came across as being forced.
"The song's just about standing up for yourself, I suppose, and just doing what you want to do. But as I started writing it more, it started to encapsulate a number of themes in one, which I like because I like people to relate to it," she says.
And Zowie should know a thing or two about standing up for herself – she's trained in the art of karate. But she warns us that it's someone else we should be looking over our shoulder for.
"My mum," she warns us. "She's amazing at it. She could kick my arse. Something in the water."
It pays to be in Zowie's corner. Which is precisely where celebrity blogger Perez Hilton safely sits, after discovering her New Zealand-only single 'Broken Machine' last year. He featured the track on his website – a brilliant boost to Zowie's global profile.
"I had heard that he really liked 'Broken Machine'," she says. "I check his site all the time to get a bit of goss. So I went online at about three in the morning and the headline was there. I just froze and kept staring at it. I messaged my manager straight away saying 'oh my god, oh my god'. Then he continued the support with 'Bite Back' as well. So yeah, Perez has been really supportive and I'm very flattered."
With 'Bite Back' already at digital retail in Australia, the focus for Zowie is now on her debut album, which is currently in its final stages of completion.
"I'm finishing it off at the moment," she says. "I'm just going backwards and forwards with little production tests here and there and mixes are coming back. So it's very close and it looks like a release mid to late this year, so I can't wait."
But despite widespread reports at other media, Zowie assures us that so far the album remains untitled.
"I don't have a title. People have been saying to me, 'so tell me more about your album called blah-de-blah'. There have been all these names made up and some funny rumours. I've got a long list, but the names that people have been saying are definitely not on there," she says.
Which begs the question, "what names have people been coming up with?"
"There was 'Broken Lyricas'. About three different people asked me about that one. And then there was another 'Broken' something. I guess they're getting confused with 'Broken Machine', but I don't know. I wouldn't call it 'Broken Lyricas' that's for sure."
So cross 'Broken Lyricas' off the album title list, but mark in your diary that there will be another single (possibly two) to drop before the LP.
"We're kind of looking into that at the moment," she says. "Just jotting down lots of different treatment ideas for videos for different tracks and seeing what feels right. But I think there's something special coming out soon for Australia. I can't divulge. But I will soon," she teases.
We enquire whether or not this would have something to do with a video. She responds cheekily with a succinct, "Possibly…"
So add Zowie to the long list of stars whose careers have mushroomed from the land of the long white cloud in recent years. But this young lady has something a little extra. Fun, intelligent and flirty, she possesses razor-edge style, hot looks, kick-ass tunes and a glaringly bright future. Of course, with a background in bionics and karate, we daren't for a moment think anything different.
Zowie's debut Australian single 'Bite Back' is available digitally now.
Her debut album is set for release "mid to late this year".

Grace expects Greinke trade to have emotional impact "Carson showed his toughness. Got hit a couple times and got back up and kept fighting for us. We're going to be a really difficult team with Carson healthy throwing the ball around to all the weapons that we have."Perhaps more important than anything Palmer did on the field is that he was able to remain on it. The 35-year-old was hit on a few plays and scrambled on others, with Arizona's coaching staff, players and fans likely holding their breath every time it appeared he might be in danger."They may have to start spying Carson because he got out of the pocket a few times," safety Tyrann Mathieu said, with a smile. "Obviously we were nervous on the sideline, like, 'get down!'"But Carson played well. We knew he was going to play well coming into the game, and he's fired up. Any time the quarterback is fired up and excited and anxious to get on the field, it just runs through the locker room."Asked how he felt physically, the QB said "I feel great" before going on to praise the job his offensive line did. While Sunday's performance led to just one win, what it did for the perception of this team may be even bigger. – / 21 Former Cardinals kicker Phil Dawson retires Comments Share "I thought he played outstanding," Cardinals coach Bruce Arians said. "He came out on fire. He was right on point on his gameplan, saw their adjustments — and they made some, Rob did a nice job. I thought Rob Ryan did a heck of a job making some adjustments to some of the stuff we do — and we had to readjust. So it was one of those good chess matches."If this was chess, then Palmer did his best Garry Kasparov. He appeared to be in control for most of the game, with only a few ill-advised throws or decisions mixed in with an otherwise commanding performance. He completed at least one pass to eight different receivers, and a ninth — J.J. Nelson — drew an important pass interference penalty on a deep ball in the fourth quarter.For the most part, Palmer appeared to pick up right where he left off last season.When he went down against the Rams last year, he was in the midst of one of the best campaigns of his career. And though there was some initial doubt as to how effective he would be upon a return — or even if he would return — those concerns have pretty much been assuaged."Carson looked good all preseason, throwing the ball around," receiver Larry Fitzgerald said. "He's very accurate and even scrambling around, finding that touchdown with John (Brown), you know, scrambling around and making things happen on his feet. Top Stories GLENDALE, Ariz. — It had been a long time since Carson Palmer threw a pass that counted in an NFL game.Three-hundred and eight days, to be exact.Palmer, recovered from a torn ACL suffered on Nov. 19, 2014, against the St. Louis Rams, was under center for the Arizona Cardinals in their 31-19 season-opening win over the New Orleans Saints Sunday at University of Phoenix Stadium.The veteran completed 19 of 32 passes for 307 yards and three touchdowns. He was not picked off or sacked, and showed some elusiveness in scrambling three times for 14 yards. Derrick Hall satisfied with D-backs' buying and selling With a 14-2 record over the quarterback's last 16 games for the team, it has become obvious that if No. 3 is on the field, the Cardinals have a really good chance of coming away with a victory.

Senior Katharine Archer has been performing for as long as she can remember. She began dancing at the age of three; she started doing stage crew for school shows during her freshman year of high school. "I've kind of always been on the stage and loved the stage," Archer says. When Archer came to Catholic University, however, she chose to major in math, with plans to teach after graduation.
But this hasn't meant that Archer has had to leave the stage behind. For the last four years, she has been involved with CenterStage, a student-run theatre company. In that time, Archer has served as an assistant stage manager, a stage manager, and a production manager for various productions. Now, she serves as finance director on the board of CenterStage.
CenterStage, a student-run theatre group at CatholicU, performed Proof, a Puliter-Prize-winning play by David Auburn as its Winter 2018 production.
At Catholic University, students not only have access to the vibrant arts scene in Washington D.C.—including the high-level contributions of Catholic University's own Rome School of Music, Drama, and Art—they have opportunities to create art. Whether they major in musical theatre or math, studio art or physics, the arts are available to all students at Catholic University.
For 40 years, CenterStage (originally the "Not Ready for Hartke Players") has been producing plays for the Catholic University community—and giving students the chance to perform. This year, CenterStage has produced six shows, including new, student-written works. The company includes both students majoring in performing arts, who plan to pursue careers in theatre, and students majoring in other fields for whom theatre is a passion.
Members of Redline sing at the University's annual Christmas tree lighting.
Both Redline and Take Note perform regularly throughout the year at annual University events like Spookappella (hosted by Redline every fall) and Shamrockappella (hosted by Take Note each spring), with other a cappella groups in the D.C. area, and at the International Championship of Collegiate A Cappella.
"If something brings you joy," says senior psychology major and Redline member P.J. Connolly, "it doesn't really have to be justified ... If you're passionate about something and you're good at it, I think you owe it to yourself to pursue it." At Catholic University, students have the opportunity to do just that.
CUA Dance Company brings together students from diverse academic disciplines to work on dance technique and prepare student-choreographed pieces for performance. The company has three major performances each year: Arts Fest (fall semester), and Women in the Arts Night and Spring Showcase (spring semester).
Art Appreciation Club has a mission to "go where the art is" in order to experience art pieces and exhibits in the Washington, D.C. area.
CUA Gaels is dedicated to celebrating Irish culture and has an Irish dance team that competes at intercollegiate festivals and performs at University events and other events in the D.C. area.
The Rome School of Music, Drama, and Art offers a variety of courses open to non-majors.
