Since London is still fresh on my mind, I think it's a good idea to start with some photos from the first day that we were there. E and I went to London for my birthday and also just a quick getaway since we both haven't been for so long. The last time I was in London was probably 10 years ago so I was super excited to explore the city again and see the changes over the years. We arrived on Friday morning at 6am so we took our sweet time getting out of the airport and to our hotel. The cheapest way to travel in London is visa the underground without a doubt, it is extremely convenient because there are stations scattered all over London with trains at minute intervals but be prepared for rush hour manic. During our time in London, we stayed at The Cumberland Hotel, which is a Guoman Hotel, the location is fantastic! It is right on Oxford street (which is where all the shopping is) and plus it is right next to the Marble Arch station on the Central Line. After we checked into the hotel, it was about 10am, they were nice enough to let us check in early, generally hotels don't allow check-ins this early. We unpacked, freshened up and decided to spend the day shopping and walking around Oxford Street. We took a train to Piccadilly Circus so we can start our day's adventure from Tottenham Court Road, the station there is closed temporarily for revamp and will only re-open in December.
How convenient it is that we always manage to stumble into China Town everywhere we go, the China Town in London is by far the cleanest one I've ever been to. The streets were clean and the restaurants were rather pleasant to be in. So we stopped off to start our day with an Asian style breakfast and then we were on our way. Hope you enjoy the photos!

Romare Bearden was an artist whose personal style went against the "mainstream" of art in the post World War II era. Overtime, Bearden's style did not change as other artists' did. He remained consistent in his abstract and expressive approach. This is evident in all of his paintings and even more so in his collages.
Being an abstract expressionist, Bearden's individual style developed over time. At first he drew cartoons for magazines, then he began to paint and finally he started making collages. All of his art was influenced by locations, people, and culture. His many travels along the east coast of the United States influenced his art work, along with his loyalty to his heritage.
The culture of African American life was a large focus for him. He shed much light on the oppression of African American people from the time of the Great Depression, through the Civil Rights Movement and onto their advancements toward equality. He also concentrated on his heritage, depicting slaves and their migration to the north.
In addition to this, another common theme of his art was jazz music. This greatly advanced his individual style. His art relayed one common theme but his style was advanced by his personal interpretation of jazz music. Bearden constructed collages in the same way jazz musicians created a song — with many staccato notes played by multiple instruments. In the same sense, Bearden cut and pasted many small excerpts of paintings and photographs to create a larger work of art.
He also added paint to his collages making many pieces a hybrid of two art forms; half of the piece was painted and the other half was cut and pasted. Such creativity earned him the title of an abstract expressionist artist. While abstract elements were painted, the collage portions were realistic images taken from photographs.
The reason Bearden used this technique was because he felt that art portraying the lives of African American's did not give full value to the individual. This is why he used collages. In doing so he was able to combine abstract art with real images so that people of different cultures could grasp the subject matter of the African American culture: The people. This is why his theme always exemplified people of color.
Through the work of Romare Bearden, many lives were affected and individuals were better positioned to understand the struggles that African Americans faced throughout the 20th century. The heritage of African American's influenced an entire movement that advanced human equality. Their struggle produced freedom. In effect, the outside the box thinking of Romare Bearden created his unique style. A freedom all of its own.

GSK and PATH welcome commitment by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to co-fund pilot implementation programme for RTS,S malaria vaccine candidate in Africa
June 23, 2016 by PATH
Africa Malaria Vaccines
UNITAID funding decision expected later this summer
Sally Ethelston: Mobile: +1 202-468-9858
sethelston@path.org
GSK and PATH welcome the commitment by the Board of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to provide up to US$ 27.5 million in co-funding to the World Health Organization (WHO) for a pilot implementation programme for the RTS,S malaria vaccine candidate in sub-Saharan Africa.
This commitment comes as UNITAID's Executive Board today indicated that providing funding towards the pilot implementation programme aligns with UNITAID's mandate, but that any funding should be limited and proportionate. This statement paves the way for a funding decision later this summer.
Together, the Gavi and UNITAID announcements represent another critical step towards helping the world's first malaria vaccine reach young children in Africa. PATH and GSK remain committed to working in partnership with the WHO, Gavi, UNITAID, and other stakeholders to ensure successful implementation of the pilot programme.
In support of the programme, GSK and PATH will collaborate to donate doses of RTS,S for use in the WHO pilots.
Luc Debruyne, President, Vaccines at GSK said: "Gavi's commitment is a critical milestone in preparation for the pilot programme and in the 30-year effort to bring a malaria vaccine to the children who need it most. We believe that the potential of this vaccine to reduce the burden of disease in sub-Saharan Africa is significant and we welcome the support for the pilot programme to enable us to gain additional information about how best to deliver RTS,S in a real-world setting."
David C. Kaslow, MD, head of PATH's Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access and vice president for product development at PATH, said, "The results of Phase 3 studies demonstrated the potential public health impact of RTS,S, when used alongside bed nets and other malaria control interventions, in the setting of clinical trials. Our goal is to work urgently with WHO, GSK, and other partners to further evaluate the full public health impact of RTS,S–as well as aspects of both implementation feasibility and safety–when provided in a routine use setting. Although Gavi's support comes with contingencies–including that other organizations match its commitment–we are closer to our goal of understanding the full public health value of RTS,S to young children in Africa."
WHO will provide an estimated US$ 17 million in in-kind contributions and PATH, a grantee of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, will receive a grant of approximately US$ 8 million towards the project. The funds committed by Gavi are for the first phase of the pilot programme and contingent upon WHO securing funding from other sources to fill the remaining gap. The pilot programme will be complementary to the follow-up Phase IV clinical studies; GSK is investing more than US$ 200 million in those studies and other remaining development costs.
Thirty-year journey to date
Global efforts have led to a 60 percent reduction in malaria deaths between 2000 and 2015, yet approximately 438,000 people died of the disease in 2015, the vast majority of them young children in Africa. Although existing interventions have helped to reduce malaria deaths significantly since 2000, a well-tolerated and effective vaccine with an acceptable safety profile could add an important complementary tool to existing interventions for malaria control efforts.
RTS,S is the first malaria vaccine candidate to receive a positive scientific opinion from the European Medicines Agency (EMA). According to the EMA, RTS,S "could potentially save lives in the age group most at risk from malaria." This was followed in January 2016 by a position paper from the World Health Organization (WHO) that recommended pilot implementations of RTS,S in settings of moderate-to-high parasite transmission in Africa. Development of RTS,S has been led by GSK for more than 30 years. GSK and PATH's Malaria Vaccine Initiative began their collaboration in 2001.
If full funding for the first phase of the pilot programme is secured by WHO, preparations could begin in several locations in African malaria-endemic countries and the first children could potentially be vaccinated in early 2018.
GSK–one of the world's leading research-based pharmaceutical and healthcare companies–is committed to improving the quality of human life by enabling people to do more, feel better and live longer. For further information please visit www.gsk.com.
PATH is the leader in global health innovation. An international nonprofit organization, we save lives and improve health, especially among women and children. We accelerate innovation across five platforms– vaccines, drugs, diagnostics, devices, and system and service innovations–that harness our entrepreneurial insight, scientific and public health expertise, and passion for health equity. By mobilizing partners around the world, we take innovation to scale, working alongside countries primarily in Africa and Asia to tackle their greatest health needs. Together, we deliver measurable results that disrupt the cycle of poor health. Learn more at www.path.org.
PATH's MALARIA VACCINE INITIATIVE (MVI) accelerates malaria vaccine development and catalyzes timely access in endemic countries, toward a world free from malaria. Standing at the intersection of malaria and immunization, MVI is part of PATH's Center for Malaria Control and Elimination and PATH's Center for Vaccine Innovation and Access.

Midcourse Review
The Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) Midcourse Review (MCR) presents an opportunity for professionals in the disability and health field to contemplate preliminary progress toward achieving specific health objectives. The MCR showed notable progress in access to primary care, appropriate services for complex conditions associated with disability, expansion of health promotion programs focusing on disability, improving mental health, and reducing the unemployment rate among job seekers with disabilities. This commentary presents potential considerations, at least in part, for such progress including increased access to health care, greater awareness of appropriate services for complex conditions, and opportunities for societal participation. Additional considerations are provided to address the lack of progress in employment among this population -- a somewhat different measure than that for unemployment. Continuing to monitor these objectives will help inform programs, policies, and practices that promote the health of people with disabilities as measured by HP2020.

By May 1, 2019, the Ministry of Energy should submit to the Cabinet of Ministers proposals on criteria for evaluating the performance of the Thermal Power Plants, National Electric Networks of Uzbekistan and Regional Electric Power Networks joint-stock companies for 2019-2020, indicating target indicators to reduce costs and energy losses, as well as systematic mechanisms to achieve them.
Until June 1, 2019, a Comprehensive Program on the Digitalization of the Electricity Industry for 2019-2021 will be prepared. It will account specific activities, terms and sources for the implementation of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), as well as accelerating the implementation of the automated measuring and information system for electric power fiscal metering.
The terms of preparation of the Concept of the Fuel and Energy Supply of Uzbekistan for 2020-2030 have been determined. The deadline for it development is September 1, 2019.
By July 1, 2019, it is planned to prepare a Program for further expanding the localization of the production of equipment, components, spare parts for electric power facilities operated in the country.
According to the President's Decree, the Ministry of Energy accepted the proposal to create on the basis of Selenergoproekt JSC a modern multidisciplinary design organization Uzenergoengineering JSC, in charge for the designing of all types of electric networks with voltage from 0.4 kV to 500 kV, using innovative technologies and modern science.
It was determined that constructing of energy-intensive industrial objects with a power consumption of more than 10 MW in the regions should be carried out only after consulting with the Ministry of Energy in the manner determined by the Cabinet of Ministers.
Electricity now can be purchased from independent producers, created at the expense of private investment, including foreign. The price for it will be determined on a competitive basis (with the exception of projects for which resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers were adopted) indicating the highest cost of generated electric energy.


This event is running from April 28 2019 until May 4 2019. It is next occurring on April 28, 2019 10:00 am.
The Pop-Up-Gallery at the Neighborhood Reads independent bookstore in Washington will be open to the public Sunday, April 28 through Saturday, May 4.

Presbyterian Day School strives to glorify God by developing boys in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and man.
(1 Corinthians 10:31 and Luke 2:52)
Statement of Mission and Broad Vision
We define our education broadly as what happens to the heart, soul, mind, and body of each boy.
Quaque Sunt Vera is Latin for, "Whatsoever Things are True" and is taken from Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, Chapter Four, beginning with Verse Eight:
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just,
whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report;
if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things.
PDS Alma Mater
O happy hours of work and play
The classmates that we join each day
Our flying colors, red and blue,
To thee we promise to be true
Oh, PDS, we pledge to thee
Our reverence and our loyalty.
Words by John B. Dykes
PDS Closing Prayer
Let the words of my mouth,
and the meditation of my heart,
be acceptable in thy sight,
O Lord, my Strength and my Redeemer.
-Psalm 19:14
School Colors and Logo
Presbyterian Day School's colors are red and blue. These colors are used in all school activities. The PDS shield is the schools's official logo.
The Board of Trustees selects a Head of School to direct, manage, and operate all aspects of PDS. The Board also sets policies on broad, strategic issues; develops and adopts long-range plans, and secures the resources for their implementation.
Each year, donations to the Annual Fund help the school sustain excellence in teaching, support the health of our boys via our full-time nurse, and secure our campus with our in-house security team.
By virtue of being a parent of a PDS student, all parents are members of the PDS Parents' Association. There is no membership fee or charge for belonging to the Parents' Association. A Parents' Association Board exists to manage efforts and to coordinate its work with the Advancement office.
The Comprehensive Testing Program (CTP) developed by the Educational Records Bureau is administered each year to boys in grades two through six. The CTP is the most widely used test among independent schools in the country, and its results afford us the most accurate measurement of both the aptitude and achievement levels of our boys.
Promotion and Retention
PDS requires that each student acquire the skills and strategies listed in the Subject Area Competencies section of the PDS report card in order to be promoted to the next grade.
Awards Day
Several awards are given out at the conclusion of each year.
At PDS, we believe that every boy can learn, and we strive to teach in ways that maximize learning for each boy.
Homework/Testing/Exams
Parents or guardians have a key role to play in assuring that their boys are completing their homework, preparing for tests (as applicable), and doing other work necessary to a boy's academic growth and development. Parents should provide the appropriate structure and support and assure that a boy is completing these school obligations.
Summer Reading & Math
Many elementary students suffer a relapse in reading and math skills during the summer months. Therefore, PDS asks families to make reading and review of math skills a priority by weaving these important endeavors into their summer schedule of activities.
Extra Help and Tutoring
On Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, teachers generally remain in their rooms for 30 minutes after the school day ends to work with students whom the teacher determines need extra help. Such extra help sessions are at the invitation of the teacher only.
Academic Reports/Grading
Academic and behavioral performance are reported to parents in the following manner:
PDS schedules a number of field trips throughout the year designed to enrich traditional classroom instruction by exposing our boys to creative and practical applications of curricular concepts in the field.
Parents must be kept up-to-date even beyond the report cards issued each trimester. Open and regular communication will not only avoid negative surprises but will also encourage parents to join us in our efforts with their boys.
Honor Rolls
Trimester Honor Roll
Each trimester boys in grades 5 and 6 will receive recognition on Honor Roll if they achieve 90's or better in each of the 5 core subject areas (Reading, English, Math, Science, Social Studies) and 2 or

While working on my site I stumbled upon a way one could harvest Google account passwords from a simple blog account. By setting up a Blogger page, you have the option to include a Google Friend Connect "Join this site" button widget complete with profile pictures of other members who have joined the site.
At first, I was hesitant to post this, because this site uses the Google Friend Connect widget. Then I realized that no one has used to feature in almost a year, and that the number of users using the service have dropped off, while traffic to the site remained steady. That doesn't mean one could do this with any other sort of connect feature websites often have (Facebook, Reddit, etc). Pointing out such flaws will hopefully make such services much more secure in the future, as it will hopefully be corrected in some way.
Clicking on the blue button prompts the user to input a Google, Twitter, or Yahoo account login and password. By simply misdirecting the path of the follow URL, one could then spoof the login page so that the information entered follows through to malicious site. All one has to do is replicate the Google service login popup. No URL is displayed during the whole process.
Such a method has been used before. Mistyping the Craigslist URL might bring you to a page notifying you that you need to update your version of Adobe Flash. Everything from the color scheme used, the font, and the installer are all reminiscent of what Adobe uses for their flash program.
Of course, the URL supersavings.glidehomes.com should be a giant red flag! Following through with the install will almost certainly lead to viruses/maleware/adware. Another approach of this technique is exploited by the torpig botnet. Which university researches were able to take control of. THey learned that the botnet was spoofing online banking logins for major banks on the infected computers, then sending the login information to whoever owned the botnet. Pretty scary stuff.

McDonald's are one of the most recognizable brands in the world. They didn't need to 'advertise' to 16-24 year olds. But they did need to change the perception they had of the brand. Young people had fallen out of love with McDonald's – they weren't a brand that was loved, talked about or had any real emotional meaning for this audience. So, what could they do to change their minds? How could they connect with an audience who demand so much more from brands to earn their attention? McDonald's needed a radical new approach to stand any chance of meaning more to young people again.
Our strategy was to talk to them in a language and space they understood. Less like McDonald's, more like them. Less like a brand, more like the people they look up to. McDonald's have always believed in young people. Who better to help resolve this tension in their lives and give them the voice and platform to shine.
McDonalds created Channel Us, to bring young people together.
5.3 MILLION VIEWS AND 12,000 SUBSCRIBERS
MCDONALD'S WAS SEEN AS +6% MORE A 'BRAND FOR ME' AND +8% 'MORE TRUSTED'
McDonald's not only transformed the lives of those who got involved, but they also inspired a community who watched, commented and helped Channel Us succeed. There were 5.3 million views and 12,000 subscribers. But it wasn't just the views, it was how engaged they were. Subscribers came back to watch week in, week out, viewing for an average of 3.5 minutes. Not bad for an audience who supposedly have tiny attention spans. It also had a huge impact on the attitudes of young people. Viewers saw McDonald's as 6% more a 'brand for me', 8% 'more trusted' and 27% more 'changing for the better. A massive 52% now believe there is 'more to McDonald's than just food and drink'.

PRR (Pennsylvania) 6100 S-1 6-4-4-6 The S-1 class locomotive was so large that it could not negotiate the track clearances on most of the lines of the PRR system. In its brief service life it was restricted to the main line between Chicago, Illinois and Crestline, Ohio. It was assigned to the Fort Wayne Division and based at the Crestline enginehouse. The S-1 hauled passenger trains such as The General and The Trailblazer on this route. Crews liked the S-1, partly because of its very smooth ride. The great mass and inertia of the locomotive soaked up the bumps and the surging often experienced with duplex locomotives.
Starting tractive effort calculated in the usual way (85% mean effective pressure) comes out 76,400 lbf (340 kN), but the engine used 70% limited cutoff (presumably to increase port openings at short cutoff) so the railroad claimed a correspondingly lower tractive effort.
The first experimental duplex on the PRR was the S-1, a huge rigid frame duplex locomotive of the 6-4-4-6 wheel arrangement. This engine was over 146' long! This locomotive was built by the PRR at Altoona in 1939; it was hailed as the largest locomotive ever built. The look of this locomotive was designed by Raymond Lowey, whose first assignment for the PRR was to redesign a trashcan at Penn Station, and later designed the look of the T1. When it was completed, it did not see revenue service right away. It was sent to the New York World's Fair and was put on display along with other railroad's latest motive power to show the world first class, cutting edge technology.
This locomotive had impressive statistics. 84" drivers meant that she could really make tracks! It is said that going 100 mph was not uncommon, even though the speed limit on the Ft. Wayne mainline was 80 mph for passenger trains.
The S-1 was completely streamlined, a cosmetic shrouding that many railroads were adding to their locomotives to enhance the appearance and, hopefully, along with other comforts on board, lure riders from their automobiles and back onto the train. As impressive as it looked, this was a huge headache for the roundhouse crews that had to work on these locomotives. The problem was that it interfered with access to the stuff underneath. And when you had a recurring maintenance item, it was most frustrating to waste time removing it, doing the work, and then replacing it.
Turning the S-1 here in Crestline was obviously not done on the turntable. It was turned on the "wye" which was just west of the roundhouse and one leg of it crossed Bucyrus St. During the War, Crestline was one of several facilities that were used to train military railroad personnel. One day a clerk was relieved from duty early and was "railfanning" near the roundhouse and came upon the S-1. Its hostler saw him and asked if he could throw switches so he could get the S-1 to the wye and then into stall #30. After an affirmative response, he climbed up into the cab and went for a smooth ride, throwing switches where necessary. When it first entered the wye, the S-1 slipped badly and came to a stop. The hostler is reputed to have said, "Soldier, if this stiff-legged, blank, expletive, blankity blank is on the ground!" The soldier got down to take a look, and sure enough, the rear set of drivers were on the ties. This brought on some more blue language from the hostler. After he cooled down, he said, "Soldier, go tell the house foreman this animal is on the ground again." I've read somewhere that when the S-1 was to be turned on the wye, some people from town would go down to the roundhouse to watch the event. If it did happen to come off the rails, it must surely have added to the excitement.
The speedometer only went up to 110 and once while riding the loco, a road foreman, noticing it buried, pulled out his stopwatch and clocked the train for a distance of about 3 miles btw known locations. He clocked the train with 12 heavyweight cars doing about 134 mph! This was chronicled in a 1941 issue of popular Mechanics magazine.
Its high speed capability was such that some have claimed the S-1 exceeded the 126 mph (203 km/h) record steam locomotive speed set in 1938 by the LNER locomotive Mallard. The locomotive was claimed to have exceeded 156 mph (251 km/h) on the Fort Wayne-Chicago Railroad, as it was rumored that the PRR received a fine posted by an interlocking tower on the division, proving the claim. No verifiable records are available to authenticate the claims.
Removal from service
No further S-1 models were built. According to the cited reference the last run for the S1 6100 was in December 1945. However, a timebook belonging to Pennsy engineman Byron Breininger from the Ft. Wayne division records a trip to Chicago on S-1 engine 6100 at 8:59 AM on May 5, 1946. The engine was scrapped in 1949.

At first glance, the Utah desert doesn't seem like the most optimal place to grow and maintain the perfect front lawn, but with some hard work and a little bit of knowledge, your yard can be the envy of the neighborhood.
The harsh desert landscape has its advantages and disadvantages. For your landscaping needs in Utah, there's plenty of sunlight, which means your plants can grow as green and healthy as they can be, but too much sun can leave them dried up. So what can you do? Impressions Landscape presents a few tips on how to get that perfectly manicured lawn even under the desert sun.
While we all want an oasis of green grass in the middle of an arid landscape, perhaps it would be more prudent to stick to plants that thrive extremely well in this environment. Choose tough, water retentive, and highly resilient plants that thrive in arid environments. You can plant perennials, evergreen trees, deciduous trees, and shrubs. These can thrive well in the Utah climate and save you a lot of time, trouble, and money in the long run.
One common problem with too much sunlight and very little water is thatch. It is a growth that has plagued landscaping experts for years. If your lawn feels too squishy under your feet, then you might have this problem. Thatch is the result of dried up twigs and roots that accumulate between your grass blades and the ground. Check if you have this by cutting up a small section and examining it. If you have a growth of almost an inch thick, it's time to aerate your soil.
There are many things you can do to keep your lawn looking its best, but with more serious problems like pests, it's never a bad idea to call for help. Keep these in mind, and your neighbors would soon wonder why the grass is always greener on your side of the fence.

Day 1 Recap
Entry Lists/Live Results
18-year-old Nyls Korstanje, who is headed to NC State as a student-athlete next Fall, fired off another Dutch age group record to ring in day 2 of the Swim Cup Amsterdam. The teen set himself up as the top seed with a smooth 100m freestyle time of 47.93 in prelims this morning, a mark which already brought down his own previous record for 18-year-olds that sat at 47.97 from Korstanje's performance in Eindhoven.
Tonight, splitting 22.94/24.60, Korstanje registered a winning time of 47.54 to lower his own age record even further. The future Wolfpack member holds his nation's age records across the 50m and 100m freestyle short course, as well as the 50m freestyle in long course meters. In tonight's race, Emmanuel Vanluchene was the other swimmer to notch a time under the 48-second threshold, touching in 47.78 for silver to add to his 100m IM win from yesterday.
Olympian and world record holder Ranomi Kromowidjojo got the job done in a big way in her 2nd and final race of the meet, roaring to the wall first in the women's edition of the 100m freestyle. Taking it out in 25.06, Kromo was able to keep her speed through the 2nd 50, notching a back-half of 26.54 to punch the time pad in a gold medal-garnering effort of 51.60.
Her outing tonight ranks among her own top 10 swims of all-time in the event, with Kromo's fastest resting at the 51.14 she earned in Moscow, which remains as the Dutch national record in the event. Tonight, her teammate Femke Heemskerk was also a swift competitor, touching in 52.14 for silver in the race. She was 51.98 in that same race with Kromo in Moscow at the World Cup.
Arno Kamminga, the Dutch breaststroker who already earned a new national record in the 200m distance yesterday, doubled up on that win with a victory in the 100m sprint tonight. Kamminga collected a time tonight of 57.26 after scoring 57.11 in prelims, both marks inching closer to the elusive Dutch national record, which stands at the 56.29 notched by Robin van Aggele back in 2009.
The women's version of the 100m breaststroke was a zinger as well, with visiting Irish athlete Mona McSharry busting out a new national record en route to the top of the podium. Heading into the meet, McSharry's personal best sat at 1:06.71, but the 17-year-old crushed that mark with her winning effort of 1:05.27 tonight to take gold. She already won the 200m breaststroke in last night's session.
Of note, Dutch teen Tes Schouten earned a new age record of 17-year-olds with her morning swim of 1:06.98. That surpassed the old mark of 1:07.08. The youngster wasn't able to repeat the sub-1:07 time tonight, however, securing 4th place in 1:07.86.
McSharry's countrymate and fellow national record holder, Conor Ferguson, earned a 2nd win tonight as well, taking the men's 50m backstroke in a mark of 24.26. That adds a gold to his win from last night in the 100m backstroke, which resulted in a new NR.
Additional Winners on Day 2:
Thijs van den End took the men's S9 400m freestyle in 4:30.78 for 811 points, earning a new Dutch national record in the process.
The women's 400m freestyle saw Amber Van der Kruk notch a new national record in the S14 classification, touching in 4:49.88 for 908 points.
The men's 50m backstroke saw Rogier Dorsman touched in 30.82 for a new S12 national record with 755 points. Dorsman also did damage in the men's S12 100m freestyle, where he also collected a new national record with a win in 58.34. Dorsman's 3rd win on the night came in the 100m breaststroke, where the SB12 classified swimmer in that event won in 1:11.60 for another national record with 717 points.
Florianne Bultje won the women's S9 100m freestyle in 1:04.92.
Karst Boersma won the men's 400m freestyle in 4:03.58, while Valentine Dumont took the women's race in 4:09.85 as the only swimmer under the 4:10 threshold in the field. Dumont would also win the women's 200m butterfly tonight in a time of 2:12.23.
Birgit van Buitenwas the women's 400m IM winner, earning a mark of 4:57.08 to top the pdoium.
Denmark's Viktor Bromer won the men's '200m fly in 1:53.71.

New York Yankees: Starlin Castro has a message for baserunners
Patrick Hennessy
Feb 20, 2017; Tampa, FL, USA; New York Yankees second baseman Starlin Castro (14) leaves the practice field during MLB spring training workouts at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Mandatory Credit: Reinhold Matay-USA TODAY Sports
Following an impressive showing from New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez, Starlin Castro sent out a message to baserunners attempting to test Sanchez's cannon.
In Sunday's spring training matchup against the Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez showed off his cannon behind the plate nailing two runners who were attempting to steal.
After witnessing this show, second baseman Starlin Castro sent out a message to all runners who might be thinking about Sanchez's arm in the near future.
"I don't know why they run," Castro said. "It's unbelievable because both of them got a good jump and they were both out by two feet. It's pretty amazing. Not even close."
RELATED: Severino looks sharp as the New York Yankees cruise past Toronto (Highlights)
Now, you might be asking why the second baseman made these comments. Well, in case you didn't know, Gary Sanchez has an absolute cannon and put it on display in Sunday's matchup.
In the top of the third inning, Sanchez displayed his gun behind the plate, throwing an absolute laser to shortstop Didi Gregorius to throw out Jon Berti on a steal attempt.
Later in that same inning, outfielder Ezequiel Carrera attempted to steal second as well but suffered the same fate as his teammate. "El Kraken" nailed Carrera by what seemed like 30 feet to throw out his second runner of the inning.
Following this impressive showing in spring training, it's safe to say that Castro was right in warning opposing baserunners from potentially being another victim on Gary Sanchez's hit list.
This is a tool of Sanchez that was put on display along with his superhuman power when he made his historic debut last summer.
In 2016, the Dominican-native sported a 41 percent caught stealing percentage, seventh-best among major league catchers with at least 300 innings behind the plate.
With Sanchez set to spend the entirety of the 2017 season at the position, we should see many more of these impressive throws despite the warning opposing players have received from Starlin Castro.

Creating Jobs is a Cost not a Benefit
I\'ve been muttering this to all and sundry for some time now. Of course, I find that someone said it before me, and said it better too:
A certain amount of public spending is necessary to perform essential government functions. A certain amount of public works — of streets and roads and bridges and tunnels, of armories and navy yards, of buildings to house legislatures, police and fire departments—is necessary to supply essential public services. With such public works, necessary for their own sake, and defended on that ground alone, I am not here concerned. I am here concerned with public works considered as a means of "providing employment" or of adding wealth to the community that it would not otherwise have had.
A bridge is built. Ifit is built to meet an insistent public demand, if it solves a traffic problem or a transportation problem otherwise insoluble, if, in short, it is even more necessary to the taxpayers collectively than the things for which they would have individually spent their money had it had not been taxed away from them, there can be no objection. But a bridge built primarily "to provide employment" is a different kind of bridge. When providing employment becomes the end, need becomes a subordinate consideration. "Projects" have to be invented. Instead of thinking only of where bridges must be built the government spenders begin to ask themselves where bridges can be built. Can they think of plausible reasons why an additional bridge should connect Easton and Weston? It soon becomes absolutely essential. Those who doubt the necessity are dismissed as obstructionists and reactionaries.
Two arguments are put forward for the bridge, one of which is mainly heard before it is built, the other of which is mainly heard after it has been completed. The first argument is that it will provide employment. It will provide, say, 500 jobs for a year. The implication is that these are jobs that would not otherwise have come into existence.
This is what is immediately seen. But if we have trained ourselves to look beyond immediate to secondary consequences, and beyond those who are directly benefited by a government project to others who are indirectly affected, a different picture presents itself. It is true that a particular group of bridgeworkers may receive more employment than otherwise. But the bridge has to be paid for out of taxes. For every dollar that is spent on the bridge a dollar will be taken away from taxpayers. If the bridge costs $10 million the taxpayers will lose $10 million. They will have that much taken away from them which they would otherwise have spent on the things they needed most.
Therefore, for every public job created by the bridge project a private job has been destroyed somewhere else. We can see the men employed on the bridge. We can watch them at work. The employment argument of the government spenders becomes vivid, and probably for most people convincing. But there are other things that we do not see, because, alas, they have never been permitted to come into existence. They are the jobs destroyed by the $10 million taken from the taxpayers. All that has happened, at best, is that there has been a diversion of jobs because of the project. More bridge builders; fewer automobile workers, television technicians, clothing workers, farmers.
But then we come to the second argument. The bridge exists. It is, let us suppose, a beautiful and not an ugly bridge. It has come into being through the magic of government spending. Where would it have been if the obstructionists and the reactionaries had had their way? There would have been no bridge. The country would have been just that much poorer. Here again the government spenders have the better of the argument with all those who cannot see beyond the immediate range of their physical eyes. They can see the bridge. But if they have taught themselves to look for indirect as well as direct consequences they can once more see in the eye of imagination the possibilities that have never been allowed to come into existence. They can see the unbuilt homes, the unmade cars and washing machines, the unmade dresses and coats, perhaps the ungrown and unsold foodstuffs. To see these uncreated things requires a kind of imagination that not many people have. We can think of these nonexistent objects once, perhaps, but we cannot keep them before our minds as we can the bridge that we pass every working day. What has happened is merely that one thing has been created instead of others.

"For every dollar that is spent on the bridge a dollar will be taken away from taxpayers. If the bridge costs $10 million the taxpayers will lose $10 million. They will have that much taken away from them which they would otherwise have spent on the things they needed most."
Pshaw! Nonsense!
Everyone knows the money would otherwise be put under a mattress, or given to bankers who would merely put it in a vault.
Or even worse, spent on the wrong things, immoral things, like beer, pizza, smokes, ju jubes, chips and..and..I can hardly write it..chemically fertilized vegetables.
No, no the "the things they needed most." is the worst part of the quote, the plebs need to have standards of decency enforced on them.
Oh, and I forgot, meat, if they have money, pretty soon the bastards'll be eating meat, possibly even eeevil Amerikkkan Big Macs.

Hmmmn, Soylent Green. If only we'd been making Soylent Green a few years back there would have been no NINJA mortgages, so no subprime, so no recession.

"The Assault on Saving"
"The classical economists, refuting the fallacies of their own day, showed that the saving policy that was in the best interests of the individual was also in the best interests of the nation. They showed that the rational saver, in ma king provision for his future, was not hurting, but helping, the whole community. But today the ancient virtue of thrift, as well as its defense by the classical economists, is once more under attack, for allegedly new reasons, while the opposite doctrine of spending is in fashion."

Jobs are a cost just like pollution. Cutting jobs and cutting pollution are things to strive for. Fortunately, there exists a good incentive for cutting jobs – we have to pay workers. Unfortunately, there is less incentive to cut pollution – we don't always pay those who bear it.

Isn't this more simply expressed as the Broken Windows fallacy, with added thought that the government is employing people to go round breaking windows.
anon March 31, 2008 at 12:37 pm
An excellent economic argument.
However, what the writer & Tim fail to understand is what they are criticising is not a bug but a feature. To the socialistic, statist mind the whole point of public works projects is to divert resources to where they will do the least good. The 'ideal' bridge would lead to a place where no-one wanted to go thus providing the opportunity for another grandiose scheme to encourage bridge usage. (Just follow the arguments for arts funding to see how this works.)
The rationale behind projects that 'create jobs' is that there should be a net decrease in jobs due to their introduction, thus increasing the pool of unemployment & justifying another round of 'job creating' projects.
The whole point of the exercise is to provide rewarding public sector careers for politicians & bureaucrats.


Please join me as I open up my LuLaRoe shop to you. I sell leggings, skirts, tops and dresses that range in size from xxs-xxl. There is literally something for everyone!! Throughout the entire month of September, I will be donating a percentage of my sales to the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation in celebration of Global Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month. Whatever I am able to donate, LuLaRoe will send a check in that exact amount to benefit the cause.
Why I chose Team PFF?
Close to four years ago, my family lost a very special person in our lives to Pulmonary Fibrosis. He was a husband, father, son, brother, uncle and my father-in-law. This past year we would have added Grandfather to a list of titles he possessed and not a day goes by where we don't look at his grandchildren and think about him and how much he would enjoy them. He was very active with the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation, always searching for a way to help. I want to get closer to a cure so that other families can keep their loved ones near for a lot longer.
