George Victor Drogo Montagu, 8. Duke of Manchester (* 17. Juni 1853 in London; † 18. August 1892 auf Tandragee Castle in County Armagh) war ein britischer Aristokrat und Politiker.

Leben
George Montagu war der älteste Sohn von fünf Kindern des Politikers William Montagu, 7. Duke of Manchester (1823–1890) und seiner Ehefrau Luise Friederike Auguste Gräfin von Alten (1832–1879), eine Tochter des Grafen Viktor von Alten und der Hermine de Schminke.

Am 22. Mai 1876 heiratete er in der Grace Church in New York City die kubanisch-amerikanische Erbin Doña María Consuelo Yznaga del Valle (1859–1909), eine Tochter des reichen Diplomaten Don Antonia Yznaga del Valle und der Ellen Clements. Aus dieser wohlkalkulierten Ehe, die gleichwohl glücklich verlaufen sein soll, gingen drei Kinder hervor, Sohn William Angus Drogo (1877–1947) sowie die Zwillingstöchter Jacqueline Mary Alva († 1895) und Alice Eleanor Louise († 1900).

Zwischen 1877 und 1880 war Montagu Abgeordneter im House of Commons für die Grafschaft Huntingdonshire. Abgesehen von seiner politischen Karriere erreichte er auch den Rang eines Captain bei den Royal Irish Fusiliers. Nach dem Tod seines Vaters im Jahre 1890 erbte er den Titel und einen Sitz im House of Lords.

Chris Threlkeld-Wiegand started playing bass at age nine. He earned a full scholarship to the University of Iowa where he studied under Eldon Obrecht and earned a Bachelor of Music in String Bass Performance. Chris has played with the Quad Cities Youth Symphony, the Cedar Rapids (Iowa) Symphony Orchestra, and the Quad Cities Symphony. He has also performed with many bands during his career, ranging from jazz to blues to folk in communities as far ranging as Nagoya, Japan and Austin, Texas.
Chris has had a life-long interest in the sound and responsiveness of basses. As a player, Chris knows that having a finely tuned instrument is critical, and he recognizes the remarkable difference a slight sound post adjustment or bridge arching can make.
His interest in sound and the influence of craftsmanship and ingenious problem solving led him to world famous Collings Guitars. While working at Collings and living in Austin, his cat (a black one!) knocked over and broke the neck on his bass. At the time, Chris was taking private lessons from Professor David Neubert at the University of Texas. Frustrated with the quality of the repair work on his bass, Chris asked Professor Neubert to recommend a good repair shop. "Albuquerque" was the guiding answer. Robertson & Sons Violin shop is one of the world's finest string instrument repair shops & is located in Albuquerque, NM.
For five years at Robertson & Sons, Chris had the opportunity to learn the craft of bass repair and construction under the tutelage of an acknowledged master and work on some of the finest basses in the world. From neck grafts to cracks, Chris's skills were applied to a full range of challenges. But he also developed many original techniques, including installation of custom low C & B extensions.
In 2003 it was time to set up shop in his home state of Iowa, and bring his remarkable set of skills and experiences to musicians in the Midwest. Heartland String Bass Shop is the complete manifestation of a musical life, a commitment to sound, and skills honed under the watchful eye of the finest instrument makers and repairers in the world.

Tori Swanson, lecturer in the Department of English, wants to challenge her students to move beyond the traditional paper and create critical works in digital form. Her goal is to help her students develop both their writing skills and acquire digital skills, such as website creation, video editing, or digital annotation, to help them prepare for life outside of school.
Former Scholars' Collaborative librarian Ashley Maynor has worked with Dr. Swanson over multiple semesters to design digital assignments with the same rigor as traditional capstone papers. Dr. Swanson is just one of many instructors beginning to use digital pedagogy with the Scholars' Collaborative's help. We have also taught graduate students in German to create an interactive multimedia book and helped students in history learn about the slave trade through interactive maps and timelines.

Мішель Шокед (справжнє ім'я Карен Мішель Джонстон,народилась 24 лютого 1962 року в Далласі) — американська співачка фолк-, кантрі — блюзу та рок- музики. Ця активістка-виконавиця і авторка пісень вела мандрівне життя в Сполучених Штатах та Європі протягом 1980-х років. Її дебютний альбом 1986 року The Texas Campfire Tapes розійшовся тиражем у 20 000 копій у Великобританії, але це був другий, Short Sharp Shocked 1988 року, який приніс їй міжнародний успіх. Дві найвідоміших пісні з цього альбому — Коли я виросту (When I grow up) і  (Anchorage).

17 березня 2013 року, після грубих гомофобних висловлювань її виганяють з Yoshi, нічного клубу в Сан-Франциско, де вона дала концерт. Багато глядачів покинули зал, керівництво клубу вирішило швидко завершити шоу. Через зауваження 10 з 11 дати її туру були скасовані. З тих пір вона безуспішно намагалася вибачитися, стверджуючи, що її коментарі були неправильно інтерпретовані

DIY Slime With Borax – Is It Safe For Kids?
There was a time when my eight-year-old niece was raving about this DIY slime and how to make it, or how she's been pressing my sister to buy the needed materials. She saw it on YouTube and she told me once she's excited to make some slime. I asked her what the ingredients were and she replied borax.
DIY slime containing borax has become a popular project for kids and teens these days.
So is slime containing borax for children safe?
There have been cases where kids suffered from injuries after handling the gooey slime. Reports had been made about blisters on hands, as well as chemical burns.
NYU Langone Medical Center pediatrician Dr. Robin Jacobson told Good Housekeeping that borax is something that children shouldn't be playing with.
American Academy of Pediatrics' Dr. Kyran Quinlan thinks otherwise. In fact, his kids have joined the craze of DIY slime as well. Quinlan says that borax is only a "mild irritant" and is "generally safe." Even then, Quinlan advises parents should supervise their kids when playing with borax. It's important for kids to wear protective gloves and wash their hands after.
Observing precautions is probably the reason why many kids can play slime with borax without problems while some develop skin reactions.
"If you're using full-strength Borax and not diluting it properly, then it's going to be irritating to your skin," board-certified dermatologist Dr. Rajani Katta, a board-certified dermatologist, said.
Obviously, this product shouldn't be anywhere near little kids who can just put their hands in their mouths, especially those who are younger than toddlers. Then again, if you want your little one to enjoy some DIY slime without any worries, you can use other recipes to make it safer for your kid to play with.
Here's one recipe that uses glue and baking soda – perfectly safe. Check out the video.
Do you have other ideas on how to make slime that doesn't use borax? Let me know in the comments below.

College Soccer News 2022 Preseason Top 30 Women's College Soccer National Poll.
College Soccer News August 10, 2022 CSN Preseason Top 30 Poll
The College Soccer News Preseason Poll Is Based On A Combination Of Factors Including Returning Talent, Experience, And The Projected Impact Of Newcomers. Performance During the 2021 Season Is Also A Factor.
The Preseason Poll Is A Starting Point. College Soccer Will Issue A Weekly Women's Top 30 Poll Throughout The Season And A Final Season Ending Poll At The Conclusion Of The NCAA Tourment.
Name Overview
Brian Pensky, the 2021 SEC Coach of the Year at Tennessee, takes over the reins of a tradition rich program that is once again loaded with talented and experienced players. He also inherits the very high expectations that go with a program that has had the success that FSU enjoyed under Mark Krikorian whose departure at the conclusion of the national championship 2021 season came as a surprise. Juniors Beata Olsson (14g, 1a) and Jody Brown (4g, 10a), senior Jeanna Nighswonger (3g, 8a) and Graduate Student Clara Robbins (6g, 8a) return to add punch to what should be an explosive offense. Junior Cristina Rogue, a two-year starter and outstanding shot stopper, returns to anchor a defense with a backline in front of her that will feature a lot of new faces due to the departure of stalwarts Emily Madril, Gabby Carle, Kristen Pavlisko and holding midfielder Jaelin Howell. FSU may experience the transition challenges that go with a change in head coaches but don't expect a drop off under Pensky.
The Cougars will seek to build on a history making 2021 season in which they were 17-5-2 and finished as the national runner up. Head coach Jennifer Rockwood faces the tall task of filling the void that exists due to the departure of a talented group of seniors that included forwards Mikayla Colohan (18g, 5a) and Cameron Tucker (16g, 8a) and goalkeeper Cassidy Smith. Junior forward Bella Folino (9g, 1a), midfielders Jamie Sheppard (1g, 3a), Olivia Smith (1g, 7a) and junior back Laveni Vaka are among returning players who will likely play a key role in 2022.
Eight starters return, including several sophomores who now have the benefit of a year of starting experience, from the 2021 team that was 19-4-2 and advanced to the College Cup. Rutgers will miss the playmaking ability and the experience that forward Ali Amirah (12g, 6a), midfielder Frankie Tagliaferri (13g, 9a) and back Gabby Provenzano provided but look for Rutgers to keep on keeping on in 2022 with the likes of sophomore Riley Tiernan (8g, 13a) and junior Allison Lowrey (6g, 4a) returning to power the attack up-top. Junior Becci Fluchel and sophomore Kylie Daigle are among a solid contingent of returning midfielders. Graduate Student Meagan McClelland, a four-year starter, and senior back Allison Lynch, a three-year starter, return to anchor what should be a solid defense.
Duke returns eight starters from the 2021 squad that was 16-4-1 and advanced to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. The Blue Devils will be without the experience they gained last year when Graduate Students back Caitlin Cosme and midfielders Tess Boade (8g, 5a) and Lily Nabet elected to utilize the additional year of eligibility granted. However, the return of Graduate Students back Delaney Graham, a four-year starter and and forward Mackenzie Pluck (5g, 8a), a three-year starter and the addition of Graduate Student transfer back Jenna Royson is a plus. All-American sophomore Michelle Cooper (12g, 5a) will power the attack up-top. All-American senior midfielder Ruthie Jones, junior backs Emily Royson and Katie Groff, and senior goalkeeper Ruthie Jones are among other key returning players. Duke will be talented with the type of big play ability that will make them tough to top.
There is a lot to like about the Horned Frogs. The departure of back Brandi Peterson and forward Grace Collings leaves some big shoes to fill but eight starters return, including a slew of Big 12 All-Conference selections, from the 2021 team that had a program best 19 wins. Graduate Student Messiah Bright (17g, 6a), a United Soccer Coaches and College Soccer News All-American, returns up-top along with sophomore forward Camryn Lancaster (9g, 12a). Senior midfielder Gracie Brian (9g, 10a) will add yet another dimension to the offense. Graduate Student Chaylyn, a four-year starter, returns to add strength and stability to the center of the park. Junior Lauren Kellett, the 2021 Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Year, gives TCU a talented and composed presence between the pipes. Early season contests at home with Santa Clara, on the road with USC, and at home against Duke provide the opportunity to secure signature wins.
For the past two seasons Santa Clara has struggled in the early going then caught fire and played their way into the College Cup. Accordingly, it is foolish to ever count out or underestimate the resilience of the Broncos under the guidance of veteran head coach Jerry Smith but the departure of mainstays like forward Kelsey Turnbow (11g, 12a) and defender Alex Loera (3g, 7a) among others creates uncertainty and puts the Broncos in reload mode at least on paper in 2022. Senior midfielder Izzy D'Aquila (8g, 4a), junior forwards Sally Menti (1g, 2a) and Lucy Mitchell (4g, 3a) return to set the pace on offense. Junior back Makoto Nezu, a two-year starter, and goalkeepers Marlee Nicolos and Kylie Foutch return to anchor the defense.
Forwards Graduate Student Hailey Hopkins (8g, 9a) and fifth-year senior Alexa Spaanstra (7g, 9a) and midfielder Lia Godfrey (3g, 12a) are among the returning players who the Cavaliers will count on to fill the void that exists due to the departure of Diana Ordonez (18g, 3a). The backline which will be anchored by fifth-year senior Claire Constant, a four-year starter, senior Talia Staude who is a three-year starter, and junior Samar Guidry, a two-year starter, looks to be a team strength. Senior Cayla White, who appeared in seven games in 2021 with two starts, is the likely heir apparent to assume the starting job in goal due to the departure of goalkeeper Laurel Ivory, a four year starter with 42 career shutouts.
The Razorbacks return a solid core from the 2021 barrier breaking team that won a program best 19 wins and advanced to the Elite Eight for the first time in program history. Key departures include midfielders Parker Goins (11g, 14a), Taylor Malham (11g, 6a) and Kayla McKeon (7g, 7a) and back Haley VanFossen. Senior forward Anna Podojil (16g, 6a) and junior midfielder Ava Tankersby (5g, 6a) return to add punch to the attack while senior backs Bryana Hunter, Reagan Swindall and junior Emilee Hauser return to anchor the defense along with senior goalkeeper Hannah Warner.
Seniors Dani Wolfe (5g, 4a) and Hannah Blake (4g, 3a) and junior Sammi Woods (5g, 4a) will power the attack up top. Graduate Student Meredith Haakenson (5g, 6a) looks to be a force in the midfield. Senior back Jayde Riviere and sophomore holding midfielder Avery Kalitta are among returning players on the defensive side of the ball. Graduate Student Izzy Nino is among the likely candidates to assume the staring role in goal. Michigan enters the 2022 season off an outstanding 18 win 2021 campaign with all the momentum that implies. However, Jennifer Klein has some big shoes to fill due to the departure of forward Nicki Hernandez (9g, 6a), midfielders Raleigh Loughman (9g, 9a) and Sarah Stratigakis (2g, 5a), All-American back Alia Martin, and stalwart goalkeeper Hillary Beall who was a starter for five seasons.
Joe Kirt takes over the reigns of the program from Brian Pensky. The transition should be seamless since Kirt served as an assistant coach at Tennessee for 15 seasons. Ten starters return from the 2021 squad that was 20-3-0, won the SEC Tourney for the first time since 2008, and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. The departure of defender Wrenne French, a key contributor for five seasons, leaves big shoes to fill but the Vols should again be rock solid on the defensive side of the ball. Senior Lindsey Romig, a three-year starter, returns in goal along with backs junior Lawson Renie and sophomore Claire Rain and senior defensive mid Tara Katz. Fifth-year senior Abbey Burdette (2g, 2a), senior Claudia Dipasupil (7g, 6a) and super sophomores Taylor Huff (10g, 5a) and Jordan Fusco (4g, 5a) are among a very deep group of midfielders. Redshirt junior All-American Jaida Thomas (13g, 5a) and fifth-year senior Mackenzie George (6g, 10a) return to add shake and bake to the attack up-top. The Vols will be tested with a season opener in Chapel Hill against North Carolina followed by contests at home with SMU and Duke.
Margueritte Azozasa assumes the reins of the program from Armanda Cromwell who departed after nine seasons during which the Bruins were 149-29-20. UCLA could experience the growing pains that often accompany the transition to a new head coach but chances are pretty good that the Bruins will hit the ground running under Azozasa. The playmaking ability that All-American Mia Fishel provided will be missed but Azozasa inherits a solid core of returning players along with a highly regarded recruiting class that includes several players who will contribute immediately. Junior Reilyn Turner (10g, 1a) returns to lead the attack up-top. Transfer forward Ally Cook, a three-year starter at Oregon, will add another dimension up-top. Graduate Student Lauren Brzykcy will anchor what should be a tenacious defense along with senior backs Kylie Kerr and Brianne Riley and sophomores Lilly Reale and Quincy McMahon.
The Gamecocks are coming off a somewhat up and down 2021 season during which they were 15-7-1 and advanced to the Elite Eight. Juniors Catherine Berry (8g, 3a) and Corinna Zullo (5g, 1a) return up-top. Fifth-year senior Claire Griffiths (1g, 3a) and redshirt senior Samantha Chang (3g, 3a) will set the pace in the midfield while the defense will be anchored by senior goalkeeper Heather HInz and backs fifth-year senior Jyllissa Harris (4g, 3a) and senior Camryn Dixon (0g, 3a). Opportunity knocks early for South Carolina with a season opening game at home against Florida State.
The Tar Heels are capable off rocketing upward in the rankings but some restraint is warranted because they are coming off a 2021 season during which they uncharacteristically didn't qualify for the ACC Tournament field and were one and done in the NCAA Tournament. It is a given that UNC will be talented and well coached so much will hinge on how well they merge together the individual talents of what looks to be a very deep team. The departure of goalkeeper Claudia Dickey means that a new face will be in goal. Senior All-American center back Maycee Bell (2g, 1a), a stalwart three-year starter, returns to anchor the backline along with senior Julia Dorsey (1g, 0a) and junior Abby Allen. Junior Sam Meza (2g, 1a), senior Maggie Pierce (1g, 1a) and sophomore Emily Colton (7g, 1a) return in the midfield. Seniors Isabel Cox (4g, 2a) and Emily Moxley (0g, 6a) and sophomores Emily Murphy (5g, 6a) and Avery Patterson (5g, 3a) return up top. The healthy return of redshirt freshman forward Ally Senthor, who missed the 2021 season due to injury and junior midfielder Talia Dellaperuta (1g, 0a) who was hampered in 2021 due to injury is a big plus.
Nine starters return but the two who do not, All-American midfielder Sam Coffey (8g, 8a) and center back Kerry Abello (2g, 1a) leave some big shoes to fill. Redshirt senior midfielder Ally Schlegel (10g, 4a) and senior forward/midfielder Payton Linnehan (7g, 3a) are among returning players who will power the attack. The addition of fifth year senior transfer All-American forward Penelope Hocking, the Pac-12 2021 and 2020 Forward of the Year, could take the attack to another level. Junior forward Ellie Wheeler (2g, 0a) and midfielders senior Cori Dyke, a four-year starter, fifth year senior Rachel Wasserman (3g, 1a), and senior Jordan Canniff (4g, 3a) are among others who will be in the mix. Redshirt senior Maddie Myers returns to anchor the backline along with seniors Kate Wiesner and Devon Olive. Fifth year senior transfer back Cassie Hiatt, a multi-year starter at Texas Tech, should make an immediate contribution. Redshirt senior Katherine Asman, a three-year starter, returns to give the Nittany Lions a solid and composed presence in goal. Much will depend on how well the newcomers merge in with existing players. Finding consistency quickly would be huge for a Penn State team that will win a lot of games if everything falls into place.
Add the Trojans to the list of tradition rich programs that will be under new management in 2022 with Jane Alukonis, a former UCLA assistant coach, replacing Keidane McAlphine who left to become the head coach at Georgia. Eight starters return including All-American midfielder Croix Bethune (16g, 10a), the 2021 Pac-12 Midfielder of the Year. Sophomore Simone Jackson (5g, 8a) and senior Hannah White (4g, 3a) add yet another dimension to the attack. Sophomores Simi Awujo (2g, 2a) and Aaliyah Farmer (3g, 2a) return in the midfield with a year of starting experience under their belts. Graduate Student Anna Smith who had a 0.96 goals against average in 2021 will anchor the defense in goal along with defenders sophomore Brooklyn Courtnall, seniors Kaylin Martin and Jaelyn Eisenhart and junior Zoe Burns. Graduate student back Brandi Peterson, an All-American at TCU, and senior back Nicole Payne a three-year starter at West Virginia, are impact newcomers.
Pepperdine
The Waves under veteran head coach Tim Ward look to be a team that is hungry to build on the success the program enjoyed last year. Pepperdine will miss the big play ability that midfielder Joelle Anderson (11g, 8a) and forward Devyn Gilfoy (5g, 0a) provided as well as the composure that goalkeeper Zoe Clevely brought to the pitch. However, with eight starters back the Waves look to be well positioned for another successful season in 2022. Junior forward Tori Waldeck (9g, 10) and senior midfielder Carlee Giammona (7g, 8a) return to pace the attack. Senior Shelby Little (2g, 1a) and sophomore Tabitha Laparl (2g, 3a) return in the midfield. The backline looks to be solid with the return of center backs fifth-year senior Trinity Watson (5g, 5a) and graduate student Kelsey Hill as well as backs juniors Victoria Romero and Alex Sampson and redshirt sophomore Kam Pickett.
The Hoyas will seek to build on a productive 2021 season during which they were 14-2-6 overall, won the Big East Tournament, and punched their ticket to the NCAA Tourney for the tenth consecutive season. Rebuilding will be required in the back due to the departure of Sydney Cummings, Kelly Ann Livingstone and Jenna Royson. Senior goalkeeper Allie Augar and sophomore backs Cyanne Doyle (5g, 5a) and Eliza Turner (1g, 3a) provide a solid nucleus around which to rebuild. Senior forward Gia Vicari (9g, 8a), senior Julia Leas (5g, 6a), the 2021 Big East Midfielder of the Year, and graduate student Maya Fernandez-Powell (2g, 11a) return to lead what should be a multi-dimensional offense.
A very deep contingent of players return from the 2021 team that was 14-6-2 overall and advanced to the Sweet Sixteen. Challenge number one looks to be replacing the big play ability and experience that left the building with midfielder Sammi Fisher (13g, 6a) who was a four-year starter and team leader. Sophomore midfielder Korbin Albert (12g, 4a), graduate student forward Olivia Wingate (7g, 5a), senior forward Kati Druzina (0g, 5a) and senior midfielder Maddie Mercado (5g, 4a) are among returning players who will be called upon to lead the attack in 2022. Graduate student transfers Kristina Lynch from FSU and Anna Rico from Pitt are among the newcomers who should add an additional element to the attack. Junior goalkeeper Ashle Naylor and backs Eva Gaetino, Waniya Hudson, Eva Wirtz and Kaylie Ronan return to anchor the defense.
The Cougar defense should be a team strength with sophomore Nadic Cooper, the 2021 Pac-12 Goalkeeper of the Year and center backs and multi-year starters Mykiaa Minniss and Bridget Rieken and sophomore back Reese Tappan returning. Senior forward Grayson Lynch (8g, 2a) and fifth-year senior attacking midfielder Sydney Studer (2g, 6a) are among returning players who will be tasked with filling the void that exists in the attack due to the departure of fifth-year senior All-American forward Elyse Bennett (10g, 4a).
Memphis returns a ton of talent, including nine starters, from the 2021 team that was 14-5-2 overall, won the AAC title, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Key departures include goalkeeper Elizabeth Moberg, a five-season starter, who departed with a program record 43 career shutouts and back Caroline Duncan, a three-year starter. Fifth-year senior Tanya Boychuk (6g, 4a), seniors Saorla Miller (5g, 3a) and Mya Jones (2g, 2a), junior Grace Stordy (4g, 0a) and sophomores Jocelyn Alonzo (6g, 4a) and Momo Nakao (2g, 2a) return to add punch and balance to the attack. Fifth-year senior backs Kimberly Smit and Mackenzie Bray and defensive junior midfielder Haylee Spray provide a solid nucleus on the defensive side of the ball. Brooks Monaghan has added a promising recruiting class that includes sophomore transfers goalkeeper Kaylie Bierman and midfielder Lilly Huber.
The Cardinal are coming off a 2020 (spring 2021) season during which they didn't qualify for the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1997 and a 2021 season in which they were 13-6-1 and returned to the NCAA Tournament field but were eliminated in the first round. Look for a history rich Stanford program to pull together and rebound in 2022. Graduate student Abby Greubel (5g, 2a) and sophomore Andrea Kitahata (4g, 6a) return up-top . Senior Maya Doms (11g, 3a) is a prime timer who will set the pace in the midfield. Redshirt senior Sierra Enge, seniors Kennedy Wesley and Page Rubinstein, and sophomore Avani Brandt will anchor an experienced backline.
Hook 'em Horns. Angela Kelly's Texas Longhorns will be a difficult team to beat if they can settle into a balance that will enable them to apply pressure on the offensive side of the ball while not leaving themselves vulnerable on defense. Ten starters and a solid contingent of contributing players return including players who were responsible for 32 of the 38 goals scored last year. The lone departure is All-American midfielder Julia Grosso (6g, 4a) who was an impact player for four seasons. Sophomore forward Trinity Byars (12g, 10a), sophomore midfielder Lexi Missimo (9g, 14a), fifth year senior forward Mackenzie McFarland (4g, 2da) and sophomore forward Holly Ward (1g, 1a) are among a host of returning players with playmaking ability. Senior Savannah Madden returns in goal with a backline that will include fifth year senior and four-year starter Emma Regan, junior Lauren Lapomardo and sophomore E.J. Cox. Sophomore transfer Jilly Shimkin is a solid addition to a very deep deep Longhorn midfield.
There is a lot to like about the Musketeers who return eight starters from the 2021 team that was 16-3-1 overall with a 9-1-0 mark in Big East Conference play. Nate Lie has also strengthened the roster with the addition of several experienced transfers. Xavier should have a balanced attack with forwards senior Emma Marcus (4g, 3a, sophomore Shelby Sallee (4g, 3a) and junior Sonia Vargas (2g, 3a) and sophomore midfielders Chloe Netzel (6g, 2a) and Ella Rogers (4g, 0a) among returning players. However, the loss of Olivia Jenkins, the 2021 Big East Goalkeeper of the Year, and stalwart backs Hayley Jakovich (1g, 3a) and Grace Brauer (0g, 1a) who were four-year starters creates some uncertainty of the defensive side of the ball for a Musketeer team that only allowed a total of 11 goals last year.
Nicole Nelson, who served as an assistant coach at SMU from 2012 through 2019 and the head coach at Oklahoma from 2007 to 2011 returns to Dallas to take over the head coaching job. SMU looks to be eager and well positioned to build on a productive 2021 season during which the Mustangs were 12-5-2, returned to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2016, and earned the programs first NCAA Tournament win since 2006. Graduate Student midfielder Courtney Sebazco (4g, 4a), a 2021 All-AAC First Team selection with great touch on the ball, and junior forward Wayny Balata, an All-AAC Second Team selection whose athleticism makes her difficult to contain in the attacking third, return to power the offense. Graduate Student Katina Tsapos (0g, 1a) returns to add stability in the midfield. Redshirt junior Alina Khan (3g, 0a and junior Rudden Mackenzie (2g, 1a) are among other returning midfielders who look to be in the mix. Redshirt senior Samantha Estrada and redshirt junior Tatum Sutherland return to anchor the defense in goal. Sophomores Elisabeth Tse and Sammy Nieves and juniors Abby Dermott and Payton Doiron are among a solid contingent of returning defenders.
Clemson returns a solid nucleus including their top five goal scores and an impressive backline from the 2021 team that was 12-7-1 with a 6-3-1 mark in ACC play. Seniors Maliah Morris (5g, 7a) and Conti Caroline (6g, 6a) and sophomore Renee Lyles (7g, 5a) who had a banner freshman season return up-top. Senior midfielder Hal Hershfelt (7g, 3a) is back to set the pace in the midfield. All-American junior Megan Bornkamp (10g, 10a) and talented sophomore Caitlin Smith (0g, 1a) return at center back to anchor the defense along with junior outside backs Makenna Morris (6g, 9a), a three-year starter, and senior Harper White (2g, 2a), a four-year starter. Junior Halle Mackiewicz who saw action in six games last year with three starts is among returning goalkeepers.
The Demon Deacons are coming off one of the best seasons in program history during which they were 16-6-0 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Last year Wake Forest found the back of the net 43 times and held opponents to a total of 17 goals. The Deacons should again be solid on the defensive side of the ball with redshirt junior All-American Kaitlyn Parks returning in goal along with sophomore backs Kristin Johnson and Zara Chavoshi. Offensive punch is a concern due to the departure of their top five goal scorers including forward Shayla Smart (11g, 3a). Others will need to emerge to keep the offense balanced. Sophomores Nikayla Small (1g, 5a) and Malaika Meena (2g, 1a) are among returning midfielders. Tony da Luz may have to depend on a newcomer or two to contribute immediately on the offensive side of the ball which is always a risky situation.
A solid contingent returns on the defensive side of the ball led by All-American senior Ashley Orkus, the 2021 SEC Goalkeeper of the Year and a three-year starter. Seniors Sydney Michalak and Taylor Radecki (1g, 7a) and juniors Price Loposer and Lucy Green also return to anchor the backline. Junior Jenna Kemp (1g, 1a) should also be in the mix either in the midfield or as an outside back. In addition the recruiting class includes several transfer defenders who should hit the ground running. The departure of midfielder Haleigh Stackpole (5g, 16a), a four-year starter with 31 career assists, forward Channing Foster (9g, 6a), a five-time All-SEC selection with 44 career goals and midfielder Molly Martin (10g, 1a), a four-year starter, were all cornerstone players who leave a big void on the offensive side of the ball. Senior forward Mo O'Connor (7g, 4a) and junior forward Ramsey Davis (2g, 4a) look to be among returning players who Matt Mott will look to for offensive punch. Graduate Student transfers Marykate McGuire from Duke and Molly Thompson from LSU and sophomore Aubrey Mister from Memphis are significant adds.
Brown under the direction of Kia McNeill will seek to become the first team to win three straight outright Ivy League titles since Harvard did so back in 1995-1997. The Bears have some gaps to fill due to departures but a third consecutive Ancient Eight Title and standing on the national scene are possible based on the talent and experience returning. Senior All-American Brittany Raphino (11g, 6a), the 2021 Ivy League Offensive Player of the Year, is a prime timer who returns to add firepower to the attack up-top along with senior forward Ava Seelenfreund (8g, 2a), a 2021 All-Ivy First Team selection, and sophomore forward Miya Grant-Clavijo (4g, 1a) among others. Senior Zoe Maxwell (2g, 6a) and junior Evelyn Calhoon (1g, 5a) are playmakers who add an additional dimension to the attack in the midfield. The healthy return of sophomore midfielder Gianna De Priest (0g, 1a)_who missed a large portion of the season due to injury is an additional plus. Senior back Kayla Duran (1g, 4a), the 2021 Ivy League Defender of the Year, returns to anchor the defense along with junior Jessica Hinton. Junior Clare Gagne looks to be among the likely candidates to fill the vacancy that exists in goal due to the departure of Kayla Thompson who was a multi-year All-Ivy League selection.
It has been a long time since goalkeeper Jordyn Bloomer, forward Cammie Murtha (1g, 5a) and midfielder Maia Cella (0g, 1a) have not been on the pitch for the Badgers. All-American Bloomer was a four-year starter while Murtha and Cella were five season starters. The potential exists for Wisconsin to experience a learning curve but the Badgers have the pieces to be very competitive. Paula Wilkins' teams are not soft and have effectively weathered the loss of key players before. Graduate Student Natalie Viggiano (8g, 5a) and senior Emma Jaskaniec (9g, 4a), a three-year starter, are back to power the attack along with senior forward Claire Odmark (4g, 1a) among others. Sophomore Maia Richters who now has the benefit of a year of starting experience is among returning midfielders. The backline looks to be a team strength with seniors Izzy Verdugo (1g, 2a), a two-year starter, and Macy Monticello, a three-year starter, redshirt junior Gabby Green, a two-year starter, and highly regarded sophomore Aidan McConnell slated to return. The Badgers open the season with tough games on the road against TCU and Baylor.
The Anteaters enter the 2022 season eager to build on a breakout 2021 season during which they were 16-6-0, won the Big West Tournament for the first time since 1997, returned to the NCAA Tournament and secured the programs first NCAA Tourney win since 2011. The first order of business for UC Irvine head coach Scott Juniper will be filling the void that exists due to the departure of Scarlett Camberos (13g, 7a), the 2021 Big West Conference Offensive Player of the Year. Juniper will have a lot of lineup options in 2022. Sophomore Alyssa Moore (6g, 4a) returns to add spark the attack up-top along with seniors Alex Jaquez (1g, 2a) and Amber Huff (1g, 3a), juniors Lilli Rask (1g, 1a) and Erin Covey, and sophomores Sophie Gillies (4g, 3a) and Desiree Mendoza (3g, 3a). Redshirt Junior Destinee Manzo (4g, 4a) and junior Chloe Ragon (2g, 2a) are among returning midfielders. Redshirt junior Gio Hinojosa, the Big West Goalkeeper of the Year, returns on defensive side of the ball along with junior defensive midfielder Gianna Creighton, an All-Big West First Team selection, senior back Maddy Chavez, the 2021 Big West Defensive Player of the Year, and sophomore back Kiera Smeenge who was named to the Big West All-Freshman Team.
A solid core returns from the 2021 team that was 9-4-2 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. The Pack under head coach Tim Santoro enters the 2022 season with a nice balance of older and younger players. The experience the younger players gained last year should enhance NC State's ability to put together a full 90 minutes of play and give them the edge they need to win more of the close contests that eluded them last year but their margin for error remains small. Senior Jameese Joseph (9g, 2a), a 2021 All-ACC Second Team selection, will add punch to the attack up-top. Senior Jaiden Thomas (1g, 0a), a three-year starter, returns to set the pace in the midfield along with sophomores Annika Wohner (6g, 2a) and Emika Kawagishi (2g, 2a) who will likely get the bump in play that comes between the freshman and sophomores seasons. Junior Maria Echezarreta, an experienced two-year starter with a 1.07 goals against average in 2021, returns in goal. Graduate Students Jenna Butler (4g, 2a) and Lulu Guttenberger (3g, 5a) will anchor the backline along with sophomores Brianna Weber (1g, 0a), Fernanda Soto (0g, 3a) and Nina Zimmer.

Washington D.C. [USA], Apr 7 (ANI): A new research from a mouse study has suggested that treatments that increase levels of the protein thrombospondin-1 could help the liver recover from an overdose of acetaminophen.
"The only treatment available now for acetaminophen overdose must be administered early before significant liver injury occurs," said Matthew McMillin, who performed the research.
"We are working to identify new drug targets to improve treatment options and reduce the need for liver transplantation, which is often the only option for patients with acute liver failure due to drug toxicity," he added.
McMillin and his colleagues found that mice with acute liver failure from acetaminophen toxicity had higher levels of thrombospondin-1 than mice with normal liver function.
When they administered acetaminophen to genetically modified mice that lack thrombospondin-1, the liver injury and loss of liver function was more severe compared to unmodified mice.
The researchers also observed impaired liver regeneration and increased cell death in the mice without thrombospondin-1.
"Our study is the first to investigate thrombospondin-1 during acetaminophen toxicity. We were able to identify cell communication pathways that do not work properly during acetaminophen-induced liver injury and thus lead to worse outcomes," said McMillin.
Next, the researchers plan to give mice different drug treatments that manipulate thrombospondin-1 to find out which treatment might be suited for potential clinical studies.

Capturing the hidden BME history of Cardiff
Why the need for the project?
"BME communities in Cardiff and across Wales have indicated, in research, that they feel that their communities are invisible in Welsh history and heritage. They feel (we feel) disconnected from the heritage and culture of Wales, as we do not feel it reflects us and we find it hard to see our contributions".
"BME people in Wales do not visit museums, archives or libraries or explore their heritage as frequently as white people do. Reasons for this include not feeling they are represented within Welsh history and collections or that references to the contributions of BME people are not a standard part of collections, but a hidden history".
Cymal diversity report
This project set out to support Black Minority Ethnic (BME) people from across Cardiff in being actively engaged in exploring Welsh heritage, history and culture through visits to local museums.
During the visits they had the unique opportunity to learn about Welsh heritage from local professionals and experts at each of three main museums in South Wales. Through a series of workshops they investigated how their own experiences and memories of BME communities and history in Cardiff have contributed to the development and history of the city as a whole.
People in the visiting groups then contributed their own stories and experiences of their BME heritage and growing up or living in Cardiff through digital story recordings and story-telling events.
Hundreds of communities getting hands-on with heritage: from BME stories of Cardiff to Cambridge's love of football and the lost pubs of Salford.
The Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has funded over 500 projects across the UK with a total investment of £4.5m to help people explore their community's heritage, through its All Our Stories programme.
The grant programme – developed to coincide with BBC Two's history series, The Great British Story: A People's History – aims to get thousands more people involved in exploring the local history, customs and traditions that are important to them. Small grants have enabled people across the UK to find out more about their own local heritage, which is often complex, sometimes quirky but always fascinating, at a truly grass-roots level. A kaleidoscope of unusual stories of communities has emerged, such as why Nottingham is synonymous with bicycles, how people in Salford want to remember their lost pubs and how football has been a vital part of Cambridge's identity for over a century.
All Our Stories, launched in April 2012, and was so popular that HLF quadrupled the amount it had originally set aside for the projects. Grants ranged from £3,000 up to £10,000 and have been awarded to all sorts of organisations, from small community groups, residents' associations and local history groups to larger heritage organisations and charities. The grants have brought communities together to explore the past, as well as providing those people with the skills and expert advice – delivered by top academics – to delve into their local community's history in a lasting and well-informed way.
Speaking at the All Our Stories project launch at the Museum of London, Dame Jenny Abramsky, Chair of HLF, said: "These grants seem to have struck a chord, perhaps it reflects the wonderful community spirit of the Olympics, but clearly people of all ages and backgrounds and lottery players themselves want to look into and celebrate what has shaped their communities over the years. We have been bowled over by the response and the great news is that we have been able to find the money to support so many fascinating projects. We're looking forward to hearing more about the colourful stories that emerge; they will create a unique picture of these islands at an important time in our history."
Historian Michael Wood presented The Great British Story which was broadcast in 2012 and encouraged people to get more personally involved with the heritage in their own backyard. He said: "We British love our history, and no wonder: few nations in the world, if any, have such riches on their doorstep, and so much of it accessible to all of us. It is fantastic that so many people have been inspired to get involved, both from The Great British Story series, and HLF's All Our Stories. Thanks to lottery players people can now dig deeper into their own past and I'm certain many surprising stories will be uncovered which will not only bring to life the excitement of local history, but will illuminate every community's connection with the national narrative."

I want to buy my fathers house, he owes $275,000 and is worth $300,000. Can he sell it to me for what he owes?
Update: also can he co sign if we need him to?
The only legal requirement he has is to pay off the mortgage when he sells. He can sell for anything over the amount of the mortgage PLUS pro rated taxes, fees, filing fees, depending on your State.
Could you apply for a mortgage on his house, use the funds to purchase the house with him as a co-signer? Probably not. The bank/mortgage company will question why you just don't assume his mortgage, if it's an assumable mortgage, and pay him the difference.
He WILL owe capital gains taxes if he sells for less than value.
Yes, he could sell to you any prices he wants. The only thing that he's not actually own the house, the bank does. If the amount is LESS than what he own, the bank will make him pays the different before the sale, make sure state that it's the fair market value - no gifts involve, otherwise you have to pay gift taxes which is 40% of the amount considered as gift. If he sells you the amount he owns then there is no reasons that he can't., the only only problem is if you could afford which is your own issues not his.
He can sell it to you for $1 but HE will still owe the balance of the mortgage.
Once the house is yours it is yours.
HE still owes the Back money however.
Yes, but if he does, then the $25,000 difference is considered a gift to you and he may have to pay gift tax.
He can sell it to you but you will need to take out a new mortgage and you will need the income, credit and savings to do that but if he co-signs and possibly helps you a bit with all that then it should be workable.
Yes, he can sell it to you for $275.00. Do not use a real estate agent as they will want a 5% to 6% commission on the sale.
There typically is not a co-signer for a mortgage, like there is for, say, a car loan where if the signer defaults, it is the co-signers responsibility to pay. When you take out a mortgage, whomever's name is on the mortgage papers are responsible for the loan repayment. So, your father will still have the house debt on his record and credit report. In the event that he wanted to take out a loan of his own, his income to debt ratio may not work for him to borrow money elsewhere for things he wants to buy because as a signer on the mortgage, whether he pays it or you do, his borrowing power drastically is reduced.
And, I am not quite sure how he could sign on a mortgage to the same house he is selling in the first place. Perhaps refinancing in both of your names may be a better option. Your father may want to draw a Will, leaving his house to you, where you would then apply for a loan for the balance on his loan at a future date. But, again, you would have to qualify for that loan on your own.
One of you has to pay off the remaining money of what he owes.
Yes and ... Yes. Dad can be a co-borrower with you and choose to be on title with you or not. There is even a special FHA program for this sort of thing called the "kiddie condo" program, but don't let the name throw you off, it works on houses too. I bought my first house doing the same thing.
Yes, if he wants to.
Yes, but sounds like you question your ability to get a loan. You'll also need 3.5% cash down, typically, for a 30 year FHA mortgage.
What kind of charges would you get and how much time would you do in this scenario?
From a Kantian perspective, is it considered okay if there was a law that allowed random spot checks to prevent impaired driving? & why?

I want to buy a laptop, with i7 cpu and dedicated nvidia or ati video card(for video rendering), but i can t find a hackintosh compatible laptop.
Also i read and understood that most of the laptops don t have the option to disable the Intel HD GPU, so you can t use the dedicated gpu.
If you guys can recommend me a laptop that will support hackintosh with the ability of using the dedicated gpu, i will be grateful.
The Gpu can be ATI or Nvidia even Nvidia Quadro or Ati FIrePro. But it must be a very good one for video rendering and stuff like this.

Šventoji
Šventoji – a resort town on the Baltic coast, it is 12 km away to the north from the center of Palanga. A resort town is situated on the left shore of the Šventoji river, which flows into the Baltic Sea. It is an old fisherman's settlement, where archaeological finds date back to 3000 BC. Over time, a fisherman's settlement turned into a port, which is known from the XIII century. Šventoji port was actively used in XVI-XVII c. and seriously competing with neighboring Klaipėda, Liepaja, Ventspils and Riga ports, especially after the English merchants got the privilege to equip in Šventoji a port was able to accept large cargo vessels. In XVII c. to Šventoji was granted the right to independently marketed and development of maritime business, it has significantly improved the port economy. Trade with England, Denmark was held through the Šventoji port. Widely held sound about Šventoji port until in 1701 it was destroyed and filled with stones and sand by the Swedish fleet.
When Lithuania became independent, Šventoji as a part of the Couronian province belonged to Latvia. It was returned to Lithuania in 1921 by a decision of the international arbitration committee led by Lord J. Simpson, since most of the residents here were Lithuanians. In 1925 port reconstruction works, creation of fishermen's settlement began in Šventoji. Unfortunately, the port was constantly choked up with sand, so the works went on with difficulty and Šventoji did not grow into a large port.
Šventoji as a resort town in the Baltic region and Europe was known since the interwar period. The most Šventoji fame and expanded after World War II. In 1970 Šventoji was connected to Palanga and become a part of the resort of Palanga.
Port reconstruction project in Šventoji is ready. Port reconstruction can positively affected by the expansion of the resort town. Šventoji is expanding resort. New modern private homes and hotels are being constructed here, there are many cafes. Population of Šventoji is 2,000 residents.

Catholic parish in Šventoji was founded in 1939, the chaplain of the ship "President Smetona", priest A. Račkauskas was appointed administrator of the parish. Temporary church for the parish was built by Prelate J. Galdikas at his own expense (in one kilometre from the port, near the River Šventoji). Construction of the new church designed by architects R. Krištapavičius and G. Aperavičius was started in 1991. In 2003 the church was consecrated by Bishop J. Boruta. The church in Šventoji satisfies religious needs not only of the permanent residents but of tourists arriving to Šventoji during the summer season. The parish attracts young people; there are family centres and other Catholic organizations.

Church of the Most Holy Virgin Mary – Star of the Seas (wooden)
In 1929 the Prelate Dr. Jurgis Galdikas, being an inspector and a teacher of Telšiai ecclesiastical seminary, built on the bank of the Šventoji river, in 1,5 km from the forming fishing port, in his sister Monika Kauniene's estate a wooden church, faced it inside and outside with boards and covered the roof with galvanized metal sheets. The builder himself prepared a sketch of the church design. The church received the name "Stella Maris" – Mary the Star of Seas. The title is reflected in artfully painted picture above the altar. According to local residents, that year there was a strong storm that caught fishers in the sea. Some fishers were drowned, although some of them managed to escape. The fishers who survived, wishing to thank St. Mary for their escape, brought with their barges to Šventoji materials for the church prepared by Klaipeda furniture factories. From Šventoji the materials were brought to the site and used for construction of the church. Due to 12 km distance between Palanga and Šventoji the builder transferred his private church at the disposal of the bishop of Telšiai and allowed to hold services there for the residents of the developing city and suburbs. The church had become a centre of later formed parish in Šventoji. There are two local artistic monuments in the church: an image of St. Kazimieras (end of the XIX c., oil, canvas, unknown author) and a bell (brass) with writing "Mark Ulman, Karaliaučius 1608". This bell is one of the oldest in our region, it is older than all the bells of the church in Palanga.

Evangelic Lutheran parish in Butinge
In 1520 a Catholic church was built in Elija (Šventoji). After 1540 Elija's priest became familiar with Lutherans, and the church had got much closer to Curonians residing in this area. During the flood in the autumn, 1637, the church was washed down with water. Construction of a new church began in 1638. The church destroyed by time was built anew in 1727, and in 1728 priest Venkis consecrated the church. In 1809 the church in Elija collapsed again. In 1816 tsar Alexander I visited Curonian province. Rucava priest Baunbach who participated in the ceremonial welcome of the tsar handed in to him an application of Butinge, Elija and other neighbouring villages' residents asking to restore the church in Elija. Alexander satisfied the request of the residents and allocated 40 000 roubles for implementation of this project. It took rather long to choose a place for the church; although in 1822 basement for the stone church was layed next to the Butinge estate. In 1824 the church was consecrated. Passions had still long raged and accusations were heard that the architect and the manager of Butinge estate built the church in Butinge by fraud, while in fact those were Elija's residents who were favoured by the tsar. Parish in Butinge (in Šventoji) earlier used to be a part of Rucava's parish.

Editor May 28, 2014 News Leave a Comment
A new non-profitable organisation is planned to operate as an association of all free trade zones in the world. It is registered in Geneva, Switzerland but it is headquartered in Dubai, UAE. The World Free Zones Organisation will try to increase public awareness of the advantages of the free zones and reach for the standardisation of practices across the industry.
At present, it is launched with the representation from 14 free zones. The membership is open to all countries who are members of the United Nations.
The official launch of the World FZO, which was registered in January, happened in Dubai on May 19th 2014 at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel, Dubai. Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum participated in the opening ceremony.
The World FZO has elected Dr Mohammed Al Zarooni as its chairman. He is also the director-general of the Dubai Airport Freezone. He told reporters that the Organisation plans to enhance the development of Free Zones in other parts of the world.
Currently, 135 countries in the world have about 3,500 free zones. In Dubai alone, there are 22 free zones with 19,000 companies in them. These free zones create 25 % of Dubai GDP and 75 % of export.

There are many difficult copyright questions that come up when compiling the sum of all human knowledge. Has this image fallen into public domain in the US...in the country of origin...everywhere? Is there sufficient originality in this derivative of a public domain image to warrant copyright protection? How many items on a top 100 pop songs list can I reproduce? Does this logo qualify for trademark protection, copyright protection, or both? This talk will disperse some common myths about copyright law that we have encountered over the years.
We will discuss how inconsistency in intellectual property laws across an international landscape creates challenges for a global movement. In particular, we will talk about specific copyright issues that the community had to face over and over this past year. We will talk about the impact of the Uruguay Round Agreements Act (URAA) and the Golan v. Holder decision on projects like Wikisource. We will also address different freedom of panorama schemes found around the world and what that inconsistency means for Commons and other Wikimedia projects. Similarly, we will examine how differing fair use standards as well as fragmented recognition of database rights and sweat of the brow can be risky for reusers.
Last year, in particular, we saw a lot of community discussion about the copyright originality threshold as it applies to logos, medical images, and geometric shapes more broadly. This already knotty issue is further complicated because the applicable threshold varies from country-to-country. We will talk about how US copyright law addresses these questions.
We hope that this talk will explain the Wikimedia Foundation's position on many of these controversial topics, help clarify some of the more unsettled areas of law, and provide some guidance to the community as they tackle these challenges. In addition to discussing these questions, we will point to some resources that address these and similar issues.

Yang, X., Cheng, S., Li, J., Lang, J. and Wang, G. (2017). Characterization of Chemical Composition in PM2.5 in Beijing before, during, and after a Large-Scale International Event. Aerosol Air Qual. Res. 17: 896-907. https://doi.org/10.4209/aaqr.2016.07.0321
The PM2.5 concentrations decreased by 61.7% during the emission control phases.
SO42–, NO3–, and NH4+ were found as the main ions in PM2.5 in Beijing.
SO42– concentrations decreased largest during the emission control phases.
The ratios of NO3–/SO42– and Cu/Pb were higher during the emission control phases.
To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's Anti-Japanese War and the World Anti-Fascist War, an international parade was held in Beijing in September 2015. In order to ensure satisfactory air quality during this event, a phased emission control measures were taken in Beijing and its surrounding provinces. The 24-h PM2.5 samples were collected in Beijing from August 1 to September 15, 2015 covering the period before, during and after this large-scale event. The observed PM2.5 data, meteorological data, emission reduction measures, and air mass trajectory simulation results were systematically analyzed to understand the pollution characteristics and chemical compositions of PM2.5 in Beijing. The results indicated that PM2.5 concentration during the two emission control phases was reduced by 61.7% comparing to the non-control period, but the regional transport of pollutants and meteorological conditions had a more prominent impact on PM2.5 than emission reduction during phase 2. The secondary water-soluble ions including SO42–, NO3–, and NH4+ were found as the main ions present in PM2.5. During the entire emission control period, organic carbon (OC) and elemental carbon (EC) mass concentrations were decreased by 53.1% and 57.9%. A PM2.5 mass balance was analyzed, and it was found that the organic matter accounted for 29.3, 37.6 and 28.5% of the PM2.5 mass before, during and after the emission control, while the contribution of mobile sources to PM2.5 was relatively outstanding after a series of emission control measures.

Q: Is there a way to detect the word tapped in an EditText Is there any way to map characters to a pixel location in an EditText?
I assume there is some knowledge within the component of the word at any pixel location, because you can select a word for copy and paste operations.
Also, most of the popular browsers and book readers have some sort of lookup function where you can select a word and look it up on the web or in a dictionary. How do these apps know the word that was tapped or selected?
I can't think of a good strategy for accomplishing this, beyond re-writing EditText and capturing all of the entered text as they are rendered in the onDraw() method.
I am sure there must be a much better strategy than that! Any ideas?

A: Try this:
   String selectedText = et.getText().substring(startSelection, endSelection);

It's just a basic Java String operation.

This directory contains a [query library](query_lib.py) for easy querying of
FHIR based data warehouses. The library intend to hide details of the
distributed environment in which the underlying data is stored and processed
like Apache Spark/Parquet or BigQuery.

For more details see [these slides](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Np_A8E6ZAQyWWyjMkvkM8Ytn-arunz2iJp4eXm8KRcA/edit?resourcekey=0-2aRlBmdI6hCm2XvrX8UrWQ#slide=id.ge43a6e778b_0_289).
For a quick start on how to use the library, see [this notebook](test_query_lib.ipynb).

The rest of this document describes how the query library can be set up and
developed with a focus on the Spark+Parquet use case.

## Setting up Apache Spark

Details on how to set up a Spark cluster with all different cluster management
options is beyond this doc. Here we only show how to run the
[sample queries](test_spark.ipynb) in the local mode.

The sample queries are written using the Python API of Spark (a.k.a. `pyspark`)
so it is a good idea to first create a Python `virtualenv`:

```
$ virtualenv -p python3.8 venv
$ . ./venv/bin/activate
(venv) $ pip3 install pyspark
(venv) $ pip3 install pandas
```

Or you can just do `pip3 install -r requirements.txt` in the `venv`.

*Tip*: The initial step of the `validate_indicators.sh` script creates a
`venv_test` and sets up all the dependencies.

Once this is done, you can run `pyspark` to get into an interactive console.
This is useful for developing queries step by step, but we won't use it once
we have developed the full query plan.

Some test Parquet files are stored in the `dwh/test_files` directory. These are
generated by the batch pipeline from the demo data in the test docker image.
In particular, there are `Patient` and `Observation` sub-folders with some
Parquet files in them. Here is a sample command for the indicator calculation
script:

```
spark-submit indicators.py --src_dir=./test_files --last_date=2020-12-30 \
  --num_days=28 --output_csv=TX_PVLS.csv
```

To see a list of options with their descriptions, try:

```
$ python3 indicators.py --help
```

There is also a [`sample_indicator.py`](dwh/sample_indicator.py) script to
show how the same query with PySpark API can be done with Spark SQL:

```
spark-submit sample_indicator.py --src_dir=test_files/ \
  --base_patient_url=http://localhost:8099/openmrs/ws/fhir2/R4/Patient/ \
  --num_days=60 --last_date=2020-04-30
  --code_list {SPACE SEPARATED LIST OF CODES}
```

## Using Jupyter Notebooks

While in your virtualenv, run:

```bash
(venv) $ pip3 install jupyter
```

Then from a terminal that can run GUI applications, run:

```bash
(venv) $ jupyter notebook
```

This should start a Jupyter server and bring up its UI in a browser tab.

In case that auto-completion functionality is not working, this might be due
to a recent regression; check the solution
[here](https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/12740#issuecomment-751273584)
to downgrade your `jedi`.

Also if you like to automatically record the execution time of different cells
(and other nice features/extensions) install
[nbextensions](https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/latest/install.html).

A sample notebook is provided at [`dwh/test_spark.ipynb`](dwh/test_spark.ipynb)
which uses `matplotlib` too, so to run this you need to install it too:

```bash
(venv) $ pip3 install matplotlib
```

At the end of this notebook, we wrap up the tests
into reusable functions that we can use outside the Jupyter environment e.g.,
for automated indicator computation.


Updated at 6:15 p.m.: Revised throughout to include additional details.
Dallas police are investigating an accusation of domestic violence against prominent local activist Dominique Alexander.
Alexander denies that he physically attacked anyone. But Jeff Hood, Alexander's partner in activism, said the accuser called him Tuesday night and they went to a hospital, then to the northwest patrol division to make the report.
Hood, who is close to both the accuser and Alexander, said the accuser was visibly distressed.
"The anger that pervades Dominique is a sickness, and it has to be addressed and dealt with," Hood said. "I have seen the good in Dominique, I think a lot of the city has seen the good in Dominique, but I think there has to be an opportunity to rehabilitate that good."
The Rev. Dr. Jeff Hood, left, and Dominique Alexander lead protestors east on Commerce St during the "Finish the March: A Defiance of Fear" event on Thursday July 6, 2017. The protestors gathered at the Old Red Museum to finish last year's anti-police brutality march that was cut short by the Dallas Police ambush.
The accuser could not be reached for comment Wednesday.
The investigation came as a surprise to Alexander, who said he learned about the police report through media reports. In an interview with The Dallas Morning News, he denied assaulting or threatening the accuser.
"My main focus is to protect my children during this moment and move forward in this private matter," Alexander said.
Alexander, 30, said a personal matter escalated to a verbal fight Monday night but declined to go into detail on the record about what led up to the incident.
"I was hurt," he said.
Police confirmed in a statement that an allegation had been made against Alexander and that the department's family violence unit was investigating.
Alexander said Wednesday afternoon that police had not reached out to or interviewed him. A department spokeswoman did not respond to a question about whether police had tried to talk to Alexander yet.
Alexander first rose to local prominence calling for justice in the unsolved 2014 slaying of his former classmate, D'Lisa Kelley. Since then, Alexander has become a fixture at protests across North Texas and has met regularly with Dallas leaders such as City Manager T.C. Broadnax, Police Chief U. Renee Hall and former Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway.
Hall did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
Alexander, whose partner, Keyaira Saunders, is seeking a City Council seat, recently has helped lead a push for a revamped Citizens Police Review Board.
But the allegations prompted Dallas police association leaders to call on city officials to distance themselves from Alexander.
Dallas Police Association President Mike Mata echoed those concerns.
"Although he is innocent until proven guilty, having him involved in city projects will only bring a negative light to anything being accomplished," Mata said.
Alexander has had multiple run-ins with the law before these allegations. The Next Generation Action Network founder was sentenced in 2016 to five years in prison for shaking a 2-year-old in 2011, but he was released after just eight days because a judge counted his probation period as time served.
He also has been convicted of stealing a vehicle, forging a check, making a false report and evading arrest.
"It's not where you come from," he said. "It's where you're going."
Since then, Alexander has been arrested for violating his probation terms. He is also awaiting trial in Denton County for an alleged August 2017 theft.
"He has proven himself passionate about justice — he knows the measures he advocates for apply to his own household," he wrote on Facebook.
Fellow activist and domestic violence survivor Olinka Green says she hopes the revelation will unite the movement, and make room for black women's voices.
Hood said the movement will continue despite Alexander's issues.
"Dominique Alexander is not the movement for social justice here in Texas," he said. "Anyone who's not interested in justice or who would dare support injustice is not the movement."

How might one go about editing the tagline that appears under one's name on a discussion threat? The default setting is "Forum Member - Shy or Quiet", and I can't seem to find a setting in the User CP to adjust.
Update: Please disregard. I feel quite a bit silly -- didn't realize that the tagline was generated based on number of posts. Haven't been on a traditional online forum in ages!
Well, then, welcome and glad you figured it out!

"Genius… It is miraculous to read these pieces… You must read The Best of Me." —Andrew Sean Greer, New York Times Book Review
David Sedaris's best stories and essays, spanning his remarkable career—as selected and read by the author himself. Featuring fresh and classic recordings, including a new essay and an interview exclusive to the audiobook.
A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice
A CNN and Christian Science Monitor Best Book of the Month
For more than twenty-five years, David Sedaris has been carving out a unique literary space, virtually creating his own genre. A Sedaris story may seem confessional, but is also highly attuned to the world outside. It opens our eyes to what is at absurd and moving about our daily existence. And it is almost impossible to listen without laughing.
Now, for the first time collected in one volume, the author brings us his funniest and most memorable work. In these stories, Sedaris shops for rare taxidermy, hitchhikes with a lady quadriplegic, and spits a lozenge into a fellow traveler's lap. He drowns a mouse in a bucket, struggles to say "give it to me" in five languages, and hand-feeds a carnivorous bird.
But if all you expect to find in Sedaris's work is the deft and sharply observed comedy for which he became renowned, you may be surprised to discover that his words bring more warmth than mockery, more fellow-feeling than derision. Nowhere is this clearer than in his writing about his loved ones. In these essays, Sedaris explores falling in love and staying together, recognizing his own aging not in the mirror but in the faces of his siblings, losing one parent and coming to terms—at long last—with the other.
Taken together, the performances in TheBest of Me reveal the wonder and delight Sedaris takes in the surprises life brings him. No experience, he sees, is quite as he expected—it's often harder, more fraught, and certainly weirder—but sometimes it is also much richer and more wonderful.
Full of joy, generosity, and the incisive humor that has led David Sedaris to be called "the funniest man alive" (Time Out New York), The Best of Me spans a career spent watching and learning and laughing—quite often at himself—and invites listeners deep into the world of one of the most brilliant and original writers of our time.

Mining circular vibrating screen is a multi-layer, high-efficiency new vibratory screen separator. In the current mining machinery manufacturers, the common screens include mine vibrating screen, mining linear vibrating screen, sand and gravel vibrating screen, etc. In addition, various types industrial vibrating screens are widely use in coal mine, building materials, chemical, electric power and ceramic industry.
Circular vibrating screen adopts high technology, which can automatically discharge the coarse impurities, so that the materials stuck in sieve holes can jump out and prevent the screen hole from clogging; the screen box vibrates strongly to have higher screening efficiency and productivity. And the screen inclination angle can be changed to change the moving speed of material along screen surface to increase the processing capacity.
In vibrating screen, the height and falling trajectory of medium are related to rotation speed of cylinder, medium quantity and lining form; In general, the movement state of medium can be divided to three according to the rotation speed of mine vibrating screen cylinder from low to high.
3. When the rotation speed of cylinder is increased to the limit value, all the medium will rotate with the cylinder without falling, and this will become the centrifugal state of medium; in the centrifugal state, the grinding effect will generally not occur; therefore, the inclined vibrating screen not working in this state.
When vibrating screen machine is working, its vibration rate is strong and stable, without any excessive movement. So the failure rate is very low, and the number of maintenance is reduced. And it has many advantages such as large processing capacity, long service life, low energy consumption and low maintenance cost. Its characteristics are mainly reflected in reliable structure, strong excitation force, high screening efficiency, low vibration noise, sturdy and durable, convenient maintenance and safe use.
