Share in :
In the past decade alone, shipments have risen by 25%. The main exporter is Chile, with 40% of the total, followed by Peru (35%), South Africa (23%) and Brazil (4%), according to a report by TopInfo.
This season, Chile recovered volumes thanks to better weather and new plantations entering into production. Exports totalled 600,000 tons, far below its peak of 800,000 tons. The trend towards red and patented varieties in Chile continues with 43% of grape exports being red seedless. White grapes amounted to 24% of exports and black grapes, mainly seedless, 12%. Red Globe accounts for 20% of Chilean exports, mainly sent to Asia, Latin America and Europe.
Export destinations remain stable with just over half of the shipments going to North America, 22% to Asia, 16% to Europe and 7% to Latin America.

Q: rse error: Exceeds depth limit for parsing I work with a Java and Spring Boot API that strangely provides some error which I think is not related to the code. I could be wrong though.
The POST operations are fine, but, this appears when I try to fetch some values with the GET operation. The code is provided below,
@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/v1/users")
public class UserAPI {

    private UserService service;

    @Autowired
    public void setService(UserService service) {
        this.service = service;
    }

    // $ curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d "{ \"name\": \"Robert\", \"countryName\": \"Germany\"}" http://localhost:8080/api/v1/users/createUser
    // $ curl -i -X POST -H "Content-Type:application/json" -d "{ \"name\": \"Mary\", \"countryName\": \"USA\"}" http://localhost:8080/api/v1/users/createUser
    @PostMapping(value = "/createUser", consumes = "application/json", produces = "application/json")
    public ResponseEntity<User> createUser(@RequestBody @Valid User user) {

        service.save(user);
        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.CREATED).body(user);
    }

    // $ curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/v1/users/findUserById?userId=1 | jq
    @GetMapping(value = "/findUserById")
    public ResponseEntity<User> findUserById(@RequestParam("userId") Long userId) {

        Optional<User> optional = service.findById(userId);

        if (!optional.isPresent()) {
            return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.NO_CONTENT).build();
        }

        User user = optional.get();

        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.CREATED).body(user);
    }

 // $ curl -X GET http://localhost:8080/api/v1/users/findAllUsers | jq
@GetMapping("/findAllUsers")
public ResponseEntity<List<User>> findAllUsers() {

    List<User> users = service.findAll();

    if (users == null || users.isEmpty()) {
        return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.NO_CONTENT).build();
    }

    while (users.remove(null)) ;

    return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.CREATED).body(users);
}

}

The get the error in the terminal using the cURL command,

The Gem of Iloilo Province
Named as it was rumored to have been a home of giants, the Gigantes Group of islands off the coast of Carles Iloilo, located Northeast of the Panay Island, is a place of un-spoilt Islands and Islets with towering Karst rocks, stretches of twin white beaches, hidden natural pools with rich floras and faunas, not to mention that this is a rich fishing ground supplying seafoods of export quality. Almost all of Municipality of Carles's esteemed notable beaches are actually from Isla de Gigantes, all eight of them as listed in Wikipedia. There are more beaches to be explored and discovered due to its remote location.

A set of four stairs before coming out in the hatch at the top and see the sweeping panorama of the Visayan Sea and the hills of Gigante Norte Island. The stairs aren't much of a challenge but once you stand in the viewing deck and realize the height of the tower plus the rocky cliffs you'll know it is gut wrenching.

Part II - On Sunrise
Just as I predicted the day before, The North Gigante Lighthouse would be an amazing sight during Sunrise. My early morning alarm paid off, I'm still fresh from yesterdays Island hopping adventure and feeling a little sad that I'll be leaving this amazing islands paradise today. But with the determination that I could still capture some good photographs of Isla de Gigantes, I relented to catch the Golden hours of Isla Gigante Norte, only that the timing was hampered by Cumulonimbus (rain clouds).

August 27, 2019 - Julie Balog and Jay Blanton (UK's 'Wildly Possible' Branding Rollout) 0
LEXINGTON, Ky. (August 27, 2019) – For the last several months, hundreds of University of Kentucky students, faculty, staff, alums and prospective students and families have been on a process of discovery.
They've taken part in interviews and focus groups around the question of what makes the University of Kentucky distinctive?
Some of the results of that discovery process were unveiled recently in what UK marketing and communications professionals call a new "creative brand platform."
In short, the new campaign – dubbed "Wildly Possible" – seeks a compelling and resonant way to tell the UK story to all those it serves – students, faculty, staff, prospective students and families, policymakers and others.
The idea – through new creative ads, banners, stories, videos and other platforms – is to tell a distinctive story about the way UK challenges and supports everyone who comprises the university community.
To describe that new creative process, and evolution of the UK brand, Behind the Blue talked with Julie Balog, UK's Chief Marketing Officer, and Jay Blanton, the university's Chief Communications Officer.
They discuss what the UK brand is, what it means to stakeholders and what they hope to accomplish in this new approach to storytelling about the state's flagship, land-grant institution.
August 13, 2019 - [ENCORE] John Thelin (Going to College in the Sixties) 0
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Aug. 13, 2019) - THIS EPISODE IS AN ENCORE EDITION. John Thelin is widely regarded as one of the country's experts on higher education.
The long-time University of Kentucky professor of higher education and public policy has written what many consider to be the definitive history of American higher education – A History of American Higher Education from Johns Hopkins Press – along with accounts about collegiate sports and university fund-raising efforts.
Now, in his latest book – Going to College in the Sixties, also from Johns Hopkins – Thelin examines both the reality, and sometimes the misperceptions people have about change and evolution of the college experience in the 1960s.
"The change in the mood of American higher education from 1960 to 1969 was incredible and surprising -- from optimism and confidence to exhaustion and uncertainty," Thelin recently told InsideHigherEducation. "If I were asked for a eulogy or epitaph for the decade, I would note that much of the '60s happened in the '70s. The countercultural innovations that took root in the late 1960s continued and grew into the mid-1970s. I also think the cultural legacies surpassed the political changes."
In this edition of Behind the Blue, UK's office of Public Relations and Strategic Communications sat down with Thelin to discuss his new book and how UK has evolved, particularly as the institution begins a series of events this year to mark 70 years of integration.
August 6, 2019 - [ENCORE] Terry Bunn (Find Help Now KY) 0
LEXINGTON, KY. (Aug. 6, 2019) – THIS EPISODE IS AN ENCORE EDITION. One of the biggest barriers to accessing treatment for substance use disorders can be the time it takes to find an open space in a treatment facility. By the time a clinician, family member or patient can find the right facility for their needs and navigate the insurance process, the bed in question may have been filled or the window of opportunity for recovery may have passed.
During a visit with her own primary care physician, Terry Bunn, an associate professor in the University of Kentucky College of Public Health and director of the Kentucky Injury Prevention and Research Center (KIPRC) heard that same sentiment repeated. As the leader of KIPRC, a bona fide agent of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, Bunn knew there was a solution to this issue, that more people with substance use disorders could be helped and lives could be saved.
In February 2018, "Find Help Now KY" was launched. Kentucky is currently the only state with a near real-time treatment opening locator for substance use disorders. The locator guides individuals to available treatment openings. It takes into consideration the substance(s) being used, payment options including commercial and public insurance programs, gender identity, preference for in- or out-patient treatment and needed co-occurring treatments such as mental health care, plus 30 more criteria. The site provides daily availability information for treatment openings, to enable rapid admission to addiction programs.
On this week's episode of "Behind the Blue" hear about the development of "Find Help Now KY", the success the site has experienced and KIPRC's efforts to assist other states in the development of their own website to help those in active addiction.


epoll_create() returns a file descriptor referring to the new epoll instance. This file descriptor is used for all the subsequent calls to the epoll interface. When no longer required, the file descriptor returned by epoll_create() should be closed by using close(2). When all file descriptors referring to an epoll instance have been closed, the kernel destroys the instance and releases the associated resources for re-use.
EPOLL_CLOEXEC Set the close-on-exec (FD_CLOEXEC) flag on the new file descrip- tor. See the description of the O_CLOEXEC flag in open(2) for reasons why this may be useful.
RETURN VALUE On success, these system calls return a non-negative file descriptor. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS EINVAL size is not positive.
EMFILE The per-user limit on the number of epoll instances imposed by /proc/sys/fs/epoll/max_user_instances was encountered. See epoll(7) for further details.
CONFORMING TO epoll_create() is Linux-specific, and was introduced in kernel 2.5.44.

Redwing's Gambit Sale, Novella Excerpt, and Design Essays
Today, I am pleased to announce that Redwing's Gambit, which takes place in the fun, romping Bulldogs! universe, is on sale through Saturday, May 13th at DriveThruFiction.com. Written in 2012, this novella is an earlier look at my storytelling — perfect if you're waiting for my upcoming stories to come out! When Redwing's Gambit first debuted, I wrote notes on the story's and setting's design, and am re-sharing those here in addition to one of my favorite scenes.
If you're interested, here's a link to Redwing's Gambit on DriveThruFiction.com. The story is formatted in ePub and PDF; you receive both when you order the file. Additionally, I pulled some links to design essays I wrote about the novella for you, too!
Constructing Redwing's Gambit: Research and Background Part 1 of 5 – The first question I asked myself was not about what story I wanted to write, but how I wanted to present the tale in such a way that felt more like Fate than d20. In my mind, the Fate rules really emphasizes and focuses on relationships or the ties that connect and bind the characters to one another.
Constructing Redwing's Gambit: Characters and Treatment – Part 2 of 5 – The treatment evolved from the original concept for a number of reasons. At the time, I thought the story required one perspective, but that didn't turn out to be the case. One mystery in a closed environment was "okay," but it wasn't enough for the readers to get a feel of what makes Bulldogs! a cool science fiction setting. Initially, my thinking was that an observant character could really dig into and tell a tale, highlighting the different aspects of the alien races and the worlds. Boy, was that ever wrong! While that technique sounds good, it didn't work when I started writing it because I bored myself going on and on and on…
Constructing Redwing's Gambit: Structure and Plot – Part 3 of 5 – After I had an approved story and treatment, I went to work writing the first and second draft. My inclination was not to offer one perspective, but to offer several. A mystery just did not work from an observer's point-of-view because I had a lot of characters and they're all not physically located in the same place on the ship. The logistics of having Dan sneak around like a ninja were not only boring — but creepy and Clueish. So, I added in other perspectives straight off the bat. I knew multiple viewpoints (there are three) was outside of how I normally write, but I felt it was necessary for a good story.
Constructing Redwing's Gambit: Revisions and Cut Text – Part 4 of 5 – I have about 7 to 10,000 words of cut text that I removed from Redwing's Gambit during the revisions process. Once I erased Dan Daget's character, I restructured the flow of the different perspectives and ensured that they read correctly. The biggest reason for the revisions, however, was to reduce any extraneous worldbuilding or plot hooks to keep the pace strong. With this being a novella, that meant minimizing certain aspects and also changing the strength of the relationship between Violet and the security chief to one of hidden, but mutual, feelings for one another. This first bit was altered because the spying robots was less important than Xax or Edna's kidnapping.
Constructing Redwing's Gambit: Easter Eggs – Part 5 of 5 – The goal of this story was to help you get to know the characters and based on the reviews so far? That's what you got out of it, too. Here are a few "easter eggs" to show you how some elements in Redwing's Gambit evolved.
Redwing's Gambit Excerpt
One of the characters that readers really enjoyed was an angry teddy bear/mercenary named "Fang". This short scene is Fang's debut! The angry bear is a stowaway on board the ship, and he's facing off against a feline robot.
Deep within the bowels of the cruiser, a small bear-like creature crawled through a grimy pipe and dropped down through a narrow opening. He wiggled his way down, down, down until he landed on the floor of a sooty vent.
The animal bared his teeth, hunting for signs of the enemy, but could not see his prey.
Turning a corner, he came face-to-face with a cat. It nudged its cool body against him and purred.
The mechanical noise grated his ears. It wasn't a cat, it was cat-like. A robo-cat. And it was colored a bizarre shade. Watered down red. No, pink. An albino cat?
"Out of my way," the creature hissed. "You will move for Fang."
A clicking sound. Then, a high-pitched squeal. An antenna poked out of the metallic cat's mouth, its red tip blinked urgently.
"Move. Now."
The small bear stepped forward, but the robo-cat would not budge.
"Stupid cat." Fang grabbed the robo-cat's antenna and yanked back hard. The pink robot yelped in pain, its head spun faster and faster until a thin plume of smoke escaped from its pointy ears. Crouching low, Fang swept his foot and knocked the cat on its back. Then, the creature pulled out the robo-cat's leg and beat its rosy body with it until he was satisfied.
It was an empty victory.

Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop Applications Due March 1
"Launch Pad is a workshop for established writers held in beautiful high-altitude Laramie, Wyoming. Launch Pad aims to provide a "crash course" for the attendees in modern astronomy science through guest lectures, and observation through the University of Wyoming's professional telescopes. We generally cover all workshop expenses including meals and lodging, and are sometimes able to offer travel assistance as well."
Now that you know what the Launch Pad Astronomy Workshop is, I'm going to tell you why you–yes you!–should apply today.
I applied last year, because I felt very intimidated by all the amazing and wonderful authors I've read in science fiction. I've also been working on the Firefly universe since 2013, and after a while I felt inadequate. Sure, I did hire writers and editors who had a better background in the sciences than I did, but I could tell I had a gaping hole of understanding that needed to be filled. I anticipated that my work in genre would only increase, and as I enjoy researching and reading the hell out of whatever I'm doing I needed a starting point.
It's impossible to describe how intense and rewarding that week was. Did it trigger (most) of my neuroses, as deadlines wait for no space camp? Yep, it did. But, I got to learn alongside so many other brilliant and talented individuals as we listened to even more brilliant and talented individuals talking about things like accretion disks and what black holes really are (Hint: they're not "holes"). Oh, and all those stupid questions you want to know the answers to–but were too afraid to ask? We asked them, too.
I wanted to go to Launch Pad because I am actively working toward being more science positive. I have the deepest and utmost respect for scientists who do all the things I cannot. I can read, I can research, but in the end I am an entertainer–and this workshop pointed out why and how writers can embrace the sciences even if we're not professionals. Plus, the workshop environment with its labs, discussions, and field trips facilitated that awe, that wonderment, that feeling you get when you look up at the stars and think "What if?" That, by itself, is an irreplaceable feeling.
So, what if you applied? That's the question I'm asking you today. Not because you're second-guessing what you've done (or what you haven't), but because of what you want to do for the science fiction genre. Set aside your insecurity and your Imposter Syndrome for a moment, and remember that all science fiction writers–from the late Octavia Butler to Robert J. Sawyer to Kim Stanley Robinson–all wrote one story, one screenplay, one game at a time.
Our world needs writers who look to the future and see more hope than disaster, who hear about all the work NASA is doing and think about the possibilities, who want to facilitate a science-positive atmosphere in our stories, our own workshops, and beyond. That writer could be you. If that's the type of work you want to do, I strongly encourage you to submit your application to the Launch Pad Workshop today. If I can do it, then you absolutely can, too!
Dystopia and Deprivation
Week number four of my social media hiatus begins, and I'm very happy with how this month has been shaping up. Perhaps the biggest benefit I've seen, once again, is that deprivation does help clear out my headspace, and helps me focus. I had a friend mention recently that I seemed more relaxed–and this is true, after a fashion. The less attention-grabbing headlines pop into my brainpan, the stronger my focus is on my own work. Mind you, I don't feel this is an issue of time, necessarily, but emotion. A lot of what's happening online these days is very upsetting, because fights are now public and sides/factions/what-have-you form around issues. Politics is a fantastic example of this, for example, as individuals jockey for votes slashing and burning public health programs–like Planned Parenthood(1)–along the way, touting cries of someone else's immorality, to make themselves appear as virtuous beacons of light(2) to gain power.
To me, these hot button issues have an impact on our creativity, but they always have to varying degrees. I feel the trick is knowing when to throw your hands up and walk away. I thrive on positivity when working, not negativity, which means I have different pressure points than you might have. Sometimes the issues-of-the-day have been couched in allegorical or symbolic terms to represent meaning without being direct about it, but that requires Deep ThoughtsTM. It is always safer, it seems, to introduce a new idea in an old way–through a story. For example, The Blob (1958) is about the spread of Communism, and was probably terrifying to audiences at the time. Now? Communism doesn't hold the same meaning in today's society, so the allegory is lost on us, and we think it's a movie about a pink blob that consumes everything in its path. Thus, that story has since evolved into something safer, more digestible(3), and more palatable for audiences who hold diverse viewpoints, because we are different. The message is still there for those who want to see it, however, and thank the stars. People are infinitely more complex than a simplified perspective or -ist/-ism, and allegories like these facilitate critical thinking, of which I'm a huge fan.
The movie Advantageous (2015) is an example of a movie where the message is more overt than subtle, and it is a very cynical look at our future. It is also a great example of a dystopian film, for the story is small enough to give us a sense of what it's like to live in this world, as opposed to tearing down the dystopia. I feel the reason why this film has gotten mixed reviews, is because people might be uncomfortable with the idea that some of these issues already exist in our own reality, and they weren't expecting its slower pace a la Melancholia (2011). The pressure for women to be young is amped up to 11, here, but it absolutely exists in our reality. Hollywood, for all its glitz and glamour, often pairs older men/younger women together, and there is a thought that once you turn 30 your career is over. While, of course, much of that is conventional wisdom based on perceptions about that magical land of California, it's become part of our zeitgeist, that women over a certain age/weight are unwanted (4). And, we're only desirable for our ability to have children. Once that happens, who cares?(5)
Add overpopulation, social and religious morays, megacorporations, and a high cost of living to the mix. This is what Advantageous explores, and I thought the film was extraordinarily realistic. There is one bit in the movie I wanted to comment on. I'm not giving anything away by mentioning that there's a line about how people thought it'd be less risky to have homeless young women than homeless young men. Now, there's a thought that women either cannot be violent or aren't so(6), thus it is safer for society to put women out on the streets than men. The causality of wars aside, what I noticed in this film was that the director, Jennifer Phang, did not film certain age groups of women in a state of homelessness. I felt that this was a nice touch, because it put the emphasis on the value of a young girl–e.g. as opposed to showing gangs of teenage girls. Which, to me, is probably what would happen. Desperation makes people do funny/crazy things, and that's part of what this movie is all about.
(1) Forgive me for saying this, but since when does anyone else but me have a right to tell me what I do with my vagina?
(2) Yes, this is my cynical side showing.
(3) *rim crash*
(4) Kyle Buchanan has written a bunch on this topic for Vulture.com. Here's one such article–with graphs!
(5) Oh, I could say a lot of things about that in particular, which pretty much ends and begins with a flipped middle finger.
(6) Here's a link for you regarding Women and the Crusades. Since social norms suggested that women remain at home, their time in battle wasn't covered by the historians on the invading side of the equation. So yes, telling women to stay in the kitchen is positively medieval. And, you can see how well that worked out for the status quo, even back then.

[My Guest Design Essay] Dystopia and Cybernetic Birds at Apex
Today I popped in to Apex Book Company and talked about my new story entitled "Tailfeather," which was written for Apexology: Science Fiction & Fantasy. As I was writing the story, several themes emerged between the paragraphs.
When I sat down to write Tailfeather I did not craft the tale with these themes in mind. I imagined a place where there are so many people the food has to be rationed. I pictured a world where some societies have split in two, where half their population operates at night and the other half during the day. I thought about what people — women, especially — would to do survive. What would they be willing to do for food? Shelter? Love? — SOURCE: Dystopia and Cybernetic Birds in TAILFEATHER for Apexology
I hope you will do we the honor of giving the essay a read. If you're interested in the anthology, it's only $2.99 in digital and contains several stories.

Could an Idea for Fighting Poverty Be Worth a Billion Dollars?
Published apr. 16, 2019
Despite an improving economy, many Americans see their work contributions met with a small slice of the nation's income. The $1 Billion Wage Gain Challenge is based on the belief that wage gains are a linchpin to America's long-term economic strength. At the ASU GVS summit, the challenge winners took the opportunity to better outline how to help at least 100,000 people in poverty get the education they need to raise their incomes by $10,000 or more by 2021.

Moles wreak havoc in a perfectly manicured lawn or garden.
North America is home to six types of moles. Although the destructive pests are easily confused with rodents such as gophers, voles, ground squirrels and rats, moles are not actually rodents at all, but insectivores related to shrews and bats. The moles' handiwork -- tunnels and mounds -- are reliable signs of their presence.
Moles create foraging tunnels in spring and fall when the ground is soft, moist and easy to dig. Foraging tunnels are narrow tunnels measuring only about 2 inches across. The short, crooked tunnels are abandoned when food such as grubs and worms in the tunnel is depleted. Travel tunnels are long, straight, raised ridges, often following the course of a fence, driveway, lawn border or building foundation. Although moles make use of tunnels all year, travel tunnels often appear in summer when the moles are in search of earthworms or in autumn when the moles are preparing for winter.
The most obvious signs that a mole is excavating your garden are cone-shaped mounds of dirt, appropriately known as molehills. The mounds, which vary in size, are usually only a few inches high, but may expand to as much as 12 inches in diameter. Mounds usually appear in autumn when moles are digging tunnels deep in the ground in preparation for winter. The mounds, created when moles transport soil up to the surface, usually contain dirt clods, which are not characteristic of gophers.

Notice 2014-52, released by the US Treasury Department on September 22, 2014, is intended to disrupt, and in some cases prevent, so-called corporate inversion transactions that have not been completed prior to the notice's release.
Although the notice includes very detailed rules, it very generally takes a two-pronged approach to discourage inversions after September 21, 2014.
Dentons' Tax team explores the implications of Notice 2014-52 on cross-border acquisitions or mergers.

Share %s using EmailCross-border tax structuring: Is there a common denominator for substance requirements?
Dentons is launching the next phase of Vox Tax, a series of Dentons global reports dedicated to the most pressing tax matters facing CEOs, CFOs, general counsel and tax directors. Issued periodically throughout the year, Vox Tax reports will focus on a key current topic in the areas of international tax law and tax planning.
Vox Tax's first report, authored by Dentons' global Tax group, covers tax structuring in jurisdictions around the world. "Cross-border tax structuring: Is there a common denominator for substance requirements?" examines 14 nations and discusses critical current tax topics, such as treaty shopping and substance. The report was prepared in collaboration with Loyens & Loeff, a Dutch law firm which contributed a chapter on the Netherlands. To access a digital version of the report, click here.
The Vox Tax report will be accompanied by three upcoming cluster webcasts, each focused on a different region. These brief, interactive seminars are designed to help practicioners reduce risks and optimize tax operations.


Betts at RB, Smoot at CB, Golston at DT and Orakpo at DE?
You look at the uneven performances so far of some of the 'key' players on this team and their injury status and wonder if the talent is all it is cracked up to be.
Personally I don't think the team would suffer with these substitutions.
Portis, Hall, Haynesworth and Andre Carter are part of that handful of the most highly paid players on the team that so far have been missing in action.
Carter has been mostly a disappointment since coming over from SF, and letting Orakpo shift between LB and DE to keep Carter in the regular lineup may at this point be a mistake.
With this team set to be a non-playoff club, why postpone Brian's development?
Portis needs to rest plain and simple. He has no burst because of the bone spurs and is only hurting the team. Betts should get a chance to show what he can do since he is 100% and is featured in the same between the tackles game that is now Portis' as well.
Golston? This one is strickly knee-jerk on my part. With Golston you have a guy that is 110% effort who has gained 20 pounds to better handle the battles inside in the NFL. He may not be as explosive on individual plays as Haynesworth, but he is in shape and doesn't need to be subbed in and out during the game to catch a breather.
In the backfield things couldn't get much worse.
Only Chris Horton has really played at a high level.
Hall has been a disappointment. He has been beaten for a couple of touchdowns already and has been embarrassed trying to make tackles in the open field.
If the club is going to go man on Rogers' side and roll a zone on the other side, I don't see why Smoot can't do that.
His problem is the same as Hall's - downfield coverage on the outside.
So, there among the Portis/Haynesworth/Hall/Carter group is a large chunk of the future financial commitments of the Redskins over the next 2-3 years.
And I think a case can be made that other players on the team could fill these spots in steady if unspectacular fashion.
That as much as anything else may be the secret of how the Redskins recover their franchise over time from falling completely into the abyss.
Depend upon unheralded draft picks and hungry younger players and then add in the RIGHT anchor/core players like Ray Lewis or Brian Urlacher or Peyton Manning when you have a top 5 pick that become the true leaders the others can count on.
You can't be a core player and not show up and play 110%.
You can't be a core player and complain publicly about your teammates or coaches.
You can't be a core player and allow punks on your team ruin the chemistry and walk around without being held accountable.

Flirting with 8 - 8 and spending to the cap with high priced free agents or 4 - 12 and plugging in a bunch of unproven players and draft picks doesn't make much of a difference.
In fact, I'd argue that the 4 - 12 team committed to the rebuild process is much further along than the Redskins who constantly fool themselves into believing that the next free agent signing is the one to put the club over the top and compete for a championship.
We've narrowly escaped going 0 - 5 in the last two seasons combined vs. the likes of the Rams, Lions, and Bengals.
If that isn't a sign to tear down the house, I don't know what is. Also, if that isn't a sign that we arguably could have got the same results without all the free-agency fiascos, I don't know what is.
As currently built, the Redskins have a ceiling for success. That ceiling is 8 - 8.
However, as currently built, there is no bottom in terms of how bad it can get.
I'm afraid that the story of the '09/'10 season is not how good it can get, but rather, how low can we go?
The lower the better in my opinion.
It might be the only way to rescue this team long-term.

The Skins structured the contracts of Randle-El and Carter so that if there's no cap in 2010, they don't have to take their option on and keep them.
My guess is that both probably will be gone. Randy Thomas is more than likely gone and probably Daniels, Wynn and Griffin.
Hall at best looks like a nickle CB and maybe the Skins should do the right thing and cut him as well......he earned the contract, but isn't living up to it.
I expect a good number of players to be gone after this year.
I can agree on two and disagree on two.
Betts is not Portis even when Portis is not healthy and especially not behind this line. He just doesn't have the vision and the instinct for the hole. That is without mentioning the blocking and Betts is just sorry at that.
I have not been disappointed with Haynesworth either. His name might not be showing up like some folks thought it would but you are seeing more production from Griffin and whoever is lined up to Al's right.
I didn't want the team to sign Hall long term and I can't say I am surprised. As I have mentioned before, the guy maybe a great athlete but he is a lousy CB. Frankly, I think if you can't play press man as a CB you shouldn't be a CB. Period. Smoot couldn't be any worse but this really makes the decision to let go of Springs look suspect. Springs on injured on the sideline at least offers you the chance at solid CB play when he gets healthy.
Carter has been a disappointment to me all along. He has flashes every now and then of good play but there is no consistency. I am hoping his numbers pick up running next to Haynesworth but I can't see that Carter is so good that he should be starting ahead of Orakpo on that right side.
While Haynesworth hasn't produced to the extent 100 million dollars probably demands, he's made those around him better. Other than that, I think some changes along the lines of those proposed by BD could/should be in order. This team needs a shakeup right now. If that's inserting Collins, Smoot, Rak or Betts then maybe it will send a wakeup call.
I'm actually hoping 2010 is an uncapped year. It could be a blessing in disguise. We could dump salaries, older players and perhaps some malcontents. As much as I love CP's ability, he's probably one of the first guy's I'd cut. I'd also say goodbye to Carter, Daniels, Wynn, Griffin, Rabach, ARE and possibly Smoot and Hall, depending on their performance this year.
I agree in that if insert Collins, Smoot, or whoever that you may get the attention of many. My concern with Portis is not his declining ability. To me my problem with him is he seems to be head inmate running the assylum. He had Snyder's ear and whines to the media. Time for him to be quiet and lead by good example.
This teams needs someone like Parcells. Someone in charge to take control and tell the players it is his way or highway. Snyder on the other hand needs to keep arms distance from players. He should spend the money give the coaches the tools they need. If he wants to play fantasy football then join a league online.
Portis needs a rest? He only had 11 carries in the entire preseason and is averaging just over 15 per game. If he can't hold up physically anymore then we need to replace him. I love his attitude and pass blocking when he's in, but he can't seem to break one anymore. They put Aldridge on the roster rather than trying to get an O-lineman so give him a chance and see if he can break one with his speed.
I think it is also rare for him to get a big hole. The offensive line can't seem to run block worth a damn. Perhaps someone with speed, such as Alridge, could find a way to make something out of nothing on occasion.
...You can't be a core player and not show up and play 110%.
I hate to toot my own horn but, tooooot!
This is a case where I think we may actually be hurting ourselves. From what I've seen so far, Orakpo has provided a lot more pressure on the QB than Carter. Carter is IMHO at best a serviceable backup DE, that is to say, exactly the kind of guy we've looked at to be a starter at DE since Gibbs 1.0.
However, I will say that I'm a bit conflicted about this issue. Having Orakpo play LB for a season might end up being a good thing in the long run. If he gets proficient at LB duties, it might allow us to get creative by dropping him into coverage on blitzes and the like from time to time. Other teams have done this with their DEs with pretty good success. Any extra wrinkles we could add to make things more difficult for opposing OCs/QBs to figure out would have to help.
Either way, I agree with your main point DoppelDog (hey, I kinda like that ). At this point if the highly paid guys are going to sleepwalk through the season, we might as well let the scrubs and young guys get some experience and some film on file in preparation for blowing things up next offseason.
Thomas-Stick a fork in him. Nuff said.
Landry-Might be able to get a late first rounder for him that could be used to help re-build our OL.
Betts-Betts is a serviceable back. However, he doesn't have the speed to compliment CPo, still doesn't block very well, and is dinged up too much. He's another guy we might be able to get a late round pick for, say a 5th maybe?
Daniels-It's time for Father Time to hit the bricks. He's nothing more than a serviceable DT at this point.
Jason Campbell-I've counseled patience with him but I think it's readily apparent at this point that he's probably hit his ceiling. Another career backup. Too bad we can't get anything for him and even worse for us, there doesn't seem to be a lot of QB talent in the college pipeline this year. Even worse, it's too bad that Brennan is on IR and Daniels has been promoted to the Saints' active roster.
S. Moss-He's still productive but getting up in years. Right now still the only proven receiver on the roster so it would probably be best to keep him.
CPo-Still has some gas left in the tank and more importantly, too expensive to release. IMHO he can still be productive for several more years if he had half of an OL in front of him.
Cartwright-Not fast enough and with a bit of an exception this year, is a guy you can count on to keep his mouth shut and get his job done. In spite of lack of speed, very effective at getting field position on KO returns.
C. Griff-I don't think he can get anywhere near playing a full season anymore but he's still pretty effective playing next to Fat Albert. OTOH, he is getting up there and has never been the most durable player. I could easily be convinced to let him go and keep Monty instead.
Perhaps...Alridge, could find a way to make something out of nothing on occasion.
The only good news I can scrape up from this mess is that if we're incredibly lucky Snyderatto finally realizes it just ain't gonna happen the way things are currently structured and blows things up both in the F.O. and on the field.
You and I agree that CP can't do it without a line in front of him. He doesn't have one. They elected to put Alridge back on the team instead of trying to shore up the line. Why put Alridge back on the team if you're not going to use him? At least he could potentially outrun someone when running for his life from defenders. CP can't. Until or unless they fix the line, CP is useless.
I agree on Golston and Orakpo, and would concede that given the way this line is run blocking these days, Betts would be just as productive as Portis would be.
However, Smoot as a CB is a but ludicrous. He's been a big reason why we're last in the league in 3rd down defense. He was responsible for Manningham's TD in week 1 (he makes an open field tackle they kick a FG), the 3rd and 13 Stafford scramble (had an open shot to light the kid up and at the very worst force a field goal, instead another arm tackle whiff gives them a 1st), and he's been historically soft in coverage. I would be horrified if he was anything other than a nickel or a safety. He's too much of a liability in run support and lacks the burst to keep up with the #1's of this league.
the big problem is that Jim Zorn hit his ceiling a year ago at 6-2.
this movie only continues to get worse. like Spurrier he is deaf, dumb and blind and the players have tuned him out.
his philosophy has worn thin on everyone outside of the commune he belongs to.
sometimes I think he should be wearing a Greek toga and reading from Plato.
Eh. Things may look bleak but I'm always of the belief that you play the best players you got. That's not Smoot, Betts or Golston.
Panicking isn't going to solve anything. If sweeping changes need to be made, make them in the offseason. This is our team, for better or for worse.
It wasn't with a thought to cutting the 'star' players and playing all the backups I wrote this.
It was more a thought that with a coherent system, especially on offense, and greater accountability from a group of hungry ballplayers that the 'whole' over time might just be more valuable than individual parts that are shinier and carry a pedigree.
I don't know BD, that's pretty much exactly what this second graph sounds like.
The thing is Henry, we don't really have any star players. Perhaps Haynesworth was before he arrived here. How many pro bowl players do we have? How many league leaders? There are probably only a handful of players I would miss if they left. If we're losing and playing this badly with them, we can't do any worse without them.
The thing is, Betts is playing like crap too. So is Smoot.
The one move I would agree with is to put Orakpo in at DE for all downs. I think the decision to move him to LB was a mistake.
But 'What the hell, let's try this' three games into the season is a panic move. In my opinion.
If players are not performing try somebody else (assuming there is somebody else) to let players know that they will be held accountable for their play, or they will be benched (Betts and Portis are not the only RBs available). Although you have a fair point. It is too soon to panic and do something rash, however at what point do we say this isn't working, let's see what this other player can do?
And why, if they're trying to fix problems, bring in another running back (Aldridge) instead of addressing the problem (the offensive line)?


On the day that marked 2012 days since the start of the London Olympic Games, over 200 young people competed in the final area Competition, Active Row East at the University of East London Sports Dock on Monday 29 January.
Supported by three times Olympic Champion Andrew Triggs Hodge, who won Gold at the London 2012 Olympics and a large group of volunteers from Tideway and West Ham United Foundation, a total of 11 Secondary Schools took part. The Programme launched in October, thanks to top tier funding from Sport England and new partner Tideway, with the aim to get 8,000 more young people active across the capital.
'It's hard to believe yesterday marked 2012 days since the start of the London 2012 Olympic Games. I've got some amazing memories of being part of Team GB at a home Olympics and winning Gold at Dorney Lake. The legacy of programmes like Active Row, has huge potential to reach thousands of young people not currently engaged in sport and inspire a generation to be more active and stay active!
Young people between 11-16 years old competed in individual and relay events, many for the first time. All participants have been introduced to indoor rowing by the team of LYR Community Coaches working across London, with Active Row Partner Schools from Newham, Hackney, Enfield and Redbridge in attendance.
Schools taking part included: City Academy Hackney, Langdon Park, Ursuline Academy Ilford, Ilford County, and Forest Academy alongside four SEN groups from NewVIc College, JFK School, West Lea and St Angela's Ursuline School.
West Ham United Foundation provided a group of 20 student volunteers to support the event, who took on a range of roles including race floor support, team assistants and co-ordination of medal presentations.

Here's the second part to the story of how I met the first girl I ever loved. I apologise for how cheesy and gross it is haha. Part 3 should (hopefully) be out before the end of the year!
Big thanks to Emily for voicing the girl in the video, be sure to check out her channel !


If you wish to continue to keep volunteers engaged with your nonprofit organization it is very important to incorporate flexibility in your volunteer coordination efforts. Recognizing and fulfilling volunteers may be one of your nonprofit most efficient volunteer retention strategies. Your volunteers are among your organizations greatest assets. They want to feel special and that they are truly making a difference with your organization. To the contrary, there are lots of easy-to-implement techniques to recognize volunteers in a cost-effective way. They are given the opportunity to practice skills, learn new techniques, and observe others who may be more adept in a specific role or opportunity. If you wish to engage young volunteers, it's imperative to understand that they're more receptive to new ideas than other generations.
Volunteers are the same. They play such an important role in the success of nonprofits that development of strategic recruiting should not be taken lightly. Connected volunteers are somewhat more likely to develop into lifelong supporters and potentially evolve giving additionally to consist of financial contributions.
A procedure can permit your employees to wear fewer hats and still make a huge effect on organizational targets. Creating a volunteer management procedure is a much-needed work. A strategic volunteer management procedure can improve relationships with volunteers, enhance retention prices, foster engagement, and cut back staff overhead.
Your organization should nurture your current volunteer base. If it is still using a manual volunteer management process it may be time to invest in a software-based solution. If it is not actively thanking volunteers in a variety of ways considering deploying a few of the following. To be successful in 2017, it should really take the time to learn as much as you can about your ideal volunteer, and what motivates them to be a part of your cause. In order for it to receive payroll deductions, you need to get on a corporations list of eligible nonprofits. The nonprofit organization uses VolunteerHub to list all their volunteer opportunities online and enable volunteers to self-register for those roles they're interested in.
There are lots of ways to create your volunteers feel valued. Keeping volunteers engaged can yield increased retention prices and boost opportunity fulfillment prices. They can provide your organization with valuable feedback that can be used to make optimizations to your nonprofit processes and procedures. They are becoming increasingly important for nonprofit organizations to reach their goals and overall mission. They are a critical aspect of nonprofit success. Given that they typically commit a smaller number of hours than full-time counterparts there is even a greater chance of communication issues. It isn't uncommon for nonprofit volunteers and employees to encounter burnout in some manner or another.
If you're nonprofit really wishes to engage and retain volunteers you will need to begin with the fundamentals. Volunteers who are better trained are more inclined to pursue extra opportunity-fulfillment later on. They will have the ability to view their position in comparison to other volunteers within your organization. Show volunteers appreciation on a normal basis.

15-year-old Form Two student begs for school fees in city streets
by: admin Campaign' Education' Kenya Comment off
Aschoolgirl who had been sent home over Sh29,177 fees arrears today ventured into city streets to beg for assistance from well-wishers.
Clad in her school uniform and displaying a bold banner, 15-year-old Mellan Njeri Njuguna of Kihumbu-ini Secondary School in Murang'a County said she was sent home on September 10 but her mother was unable to pay her fees.
When The Standard caught up with her around 1:45pm, the student and her friend had already covered sections of Langata Road, Parliament Road, Processional Way, Kenyatta Avenue, Moi Avenue and other city roads pleading for help and had barely raised Sh500.
"We arrived at the city centre around 8am. She is my friend and neighbour that is why I accompanied her since I know her and the family," Mary Wanjiru who accompanied Njeri said.
The Form Two student says her wish is to get the money and go back to sit her end of term exams in a week's time.
When contacted, her mother Anne Wangechi Mureithi said Njeri is her firstborn daughter and admitted that she is unable to raise school fees.
"I'm just a casual labourer and I'm the only one providing for her and other three siblings," she claimed.
"She has been in and out of school and when she arrived home on September 10, I had no other option and that is how we decided to write the banner and allow her to travel from Ruiru to Nairobi," added Wangechi.
When The Standard called the school, a secretary who responded to our inquiry said she was aware of the student's case and that the girl was away with others who were sent home over fee arrears.
"It is true that she has been having challenges but the mother should have visited the school and talk to us," she said.

Arcadia Prosper
Grove Ladder Farms grows out east.
SRQ Magazine | November 2019
Photo by Evan Sigmund.
What first began as a backyard hobby for Tim Clarkson and his wife Chelsea—raising seven chickens and harvesting eggs in small batches for friends, neighbors and family—has since become a sought-after enterprise. "We have been blessed to have local folks invest in our efforts time and time again," says Tim.
The biggest investment came in 2016 when a customer helped them by providing access to rent open farmland in Old Myakka—allowing Tim to leave his job at the landfill and follow his dream of farming full time. Three years of Saturday Sarasota Farmers Markets later and they were finally able to purchase their own land in DeSoto County's rural city of Arcadia. "We overlooked it [the property] at first because we thought it was too small," explains Tim, "but we are actually loving our little log cabin—it's solid pine, inside and out, charming and beautiful." And with 12 acres of pasture-based livestock farm, Grove Ladder can now ethically raise 2,000 healthy birds at a time, as well as the full gamut of other farm animals, sprawling across its wide open pastures.
Beyond the financial savings—avoiding the higher cost-of-living associated with Sarasota and Manatee Counties—the Clarkson's decision to migrate farther east of the interstate had more to do with craving the star-gazing remoteness and slower pace of living in this halcyon of Florida. "We are surrounded by agriculture now," he says. "We have more access to agricultural tools and equipment along with the comfort of privacy the country gives us."
Out in these parts, the prospering tillage provides access to tender grasses, nutrient-rich soil, necessary bugs, ample sunlight and unadulterated space. But with so much more arable land to look after now, the Clarksons made sure to integrate electric fencing throughout their bucolic fortress, as well as hire a pair of Great Pyrenees guardian pups to protect their livestock from predators.
"We are currently building up a flock of registered Florida Cracker sheep at our new farm," shares Tim. "Florida Cracker sheep are the oldest sheep breed in North America, brought over by the Spanish in the 1500s. We plan on selling half and whole lambs next fall, along with lamb pelts and hand-dyed yarn made from their wool."

This pendant holds an entity that is both very old and very powerful. The piece is made out of jade. It doesn't come with a chain, but it can be put on any type of chain or chord.
For those of you who have studied the Djinn or Jinni you are aware that unlike other spirits they do have marriages and they do have babies. These have been incubated and cultivated using white light Djinn. So these babies are going to do what you need them to do. They are instructed in wealth HIGHLY!
A Djinn is NOT a three wish deal at all,this is a myth. These will live with you,take care of you and are of white light. There is also communication too so you can speak to them and they understand you.
This is the only piece that I currently have like this one. The djinn you get is a very rare and special Djinn and you know I do not offer them all the time because they can be wishy washy. These are not because of how they were born and trained. I will have more when they are ready but that won't be for a while. When I do the price will be around 800.00 for each one. So get this one while you still can.
If you desire one and they are sold out then you may place a request this week and get them at the 200.00 price with a down payment but they won't be ready for another three weeks.
For the first time your going to be happy and glad you got one. I may be having a picture problem if I do and anyone notices it,please let me know. Thank you.
