Q: New MVC5 project and bundling 404 issue I have just created a brand new project and used Nuget to get bootstrap and other js related files.
My Bundles look like the following:
public class BundleConfig
    {
        // For more information on bundling, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301862
    public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
    {
        bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jquery").Include(
                    "~/Scripts/jquery-{version}.js"));

    bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/jqueryval").Include(
                "~/Scripts/jquery.validate*"));

    // Use the development version of Modernizr to develop with and learn from. Then, when you're
    // ready for production, use the build tool at http://modernizr.com to pick only the tests you need.
    bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/modernizr").Include(
                "~/Scripts/modernizr-*"));

    bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/bootstrap").Include(
              "~/Scripts/bootstrap.js"));

    bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/css").Include(
              "~/Content/bootstrap.css",
              "~/Content/Site.css"));
}
}

Here is my Layout view:
@using System.Web.Optimization
<!DOCTYPE html>

    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")

                @Html.ActionLink("Milford Golfers Association", "Index", "Home", null, new { @class = "navbar-brand" })

        @RenderBody()

© @DateTime.Now.Year - My ASP.NET Application

    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/bootstrap")
    @RenderSection("scripts", required: false)

However when the page is debugged I get the following:

I have tried this with the debug flag set to false or true in the web config which seemed to be the solution for others.

A: Make sure you have the Microsoft.Web.Optimization Nuget package installed. Without that, the bundle config doesn't actually do anything.


Century Windows Ltd of Woking Surrey. Double glazing frames are usually in one in all three materials: uPVC (or PVCu), aluminium, or hardwood.
As a part of the service your double glazing firm gives, a surveyor will look at your property and advise you as to which materials can be best. They need to be able to provide samples for you to look at, both in your personal dwelling, or in a showroom. If this isn't doable, then they may be able to show you other installations locally that can show you the differences between the three materials.
Apart from the looks of the totally different supplies, which may affect your resolution, each materials has its own advantages.
The choice of material is really as much as you and a superb surveyor will be capable to offer you advice. He or she will have a look at your property, hearken to your needs and answer your questions before advising you on which double glazing material he or she thinks would go well with you best.

THE Traveler: Sue Kirchoff of Minneapolis.
The scene: A black-skinned parrot snake curls among water lettuce in the Tamshiyacu Tahuayo Regional Conservation Area. "It was probably hunting frogs or lizards," Kirchoff wrote in an e-mail, adding, "Found only in Central and South America, this slender snake is about 24-36 inches long. It is considered mildly venomous."
Destination: The Amazon — stretching over this part of northern Peru — is the world's largest rain forest, and home to more species of plants and animals than any other terrestrial ecosystem on the planet. "And you don't need to rough it there, Kirchoff wrote. "There are very nice all-inclusive lodges there, with comfortable beds, modern bathrooms, chef-cooked meals, and knowledgeable, English-speaking guides. I stayed at the AquAmazon Lodge in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon."
Getting the shot: "I took the shot leaning over the edge of a small boat on the water. We were paddling around looking for wildlife and spotted movement in the water lettuce. Then the snake spotted us, responding with an open mouth as I snapped photos," Kirchoff wrote. She used a Nikon D600 camera with a 70-300mm telephoto lens set at 125mm.

Formed around 1984, The Offspring didn't rise to mainstream success until the 90s, with the release of the 1994 hit album Smash. In 1998, they released Americana, which was their most commercially successful outing to date.
Simple Plan, a Canadian punk band from Montreal, rose to prominence in the early 2000s, and released their first studio album in 2002. They've also won two Juno Awards.
For many fans, the upcoming show will likely be a nostalgic blast from the past.

MJC ECHERUO FACULTY OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES
WELCOME MESSAGE OF THE DEPARTMENT
Librarians: Caring Knowledge Managers
The Department of Library and Information Science was one of the foundation programmes mounted by the then Imo State University, Etiti in 1981. It was then known as Library Studies Unit and located in the School of Social Sciences, College of Humanities and Social Sciences. A pioneer staff of the University, B.O. Amaeshi was given the responsibility of developing the discipline as the Director of Library Studies.
The Department changed its official name from Library Studies to Library and Information Science in 2000/2001 session in response to changes in the profession. In 2001/2002 session, the university changed from the collegiate to Faculty system. Consequently the name of the department changed from Library and Information Science Unit to Department of library and Information Science in the MJC Echeruo Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences (having been named after the first Vice-Chancellor, and a Professor of English, Prof. MJC Echeruo), with Professor B.O Amaeshi as the first Head of Department.
In 2005/2006 session, the Department introduced a Bachelor degree programme in Information Science, while the regular programme in Library and Information Science has an evening section.
In 1985, the Department graduated her first batch of Bachelor of Library studies (BLIS) students made up of 19 graduates. Till date more than 800 students have successfully completed their BLS degrees in the Department. In 2005/2006 session, the Department introduced a Bachelor's degree programme in Information Science.
The Department in 1990 commenced a postgraduate programme for the award of Master of Library Science (MLS). In 2006 and 2008, the department admitted its first batches of students into the Postgraduate Diploma in Library and Information Science (PGDLIS) and Doctor of Philosophy in Library and Information Science (Ph.D) programmes respectively. At present, more than a hundred students have so far been awarded the higher degrees of Library and Information Science.
At present, there are ten members of academic staff comprising 3 Professors, 2 Senior lecturers and 6 others.
The department has a Multi-media resource centre and a functional Library/Workroom stocked with books and tools for Cataloguing and classification. It also serves as laboratory for students and staff in carrying out practical sessions. The Departmental Library is administered by a Higher Library Officer.
PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The general case for librarians and information scientists tests on their important role in our modern educational system, the information needs of government, business, commerce and industry for planning and decision making. In our modern world of information to control the flow of information is to control progress in many fields of endeavour.
In Nigeria, there has since independence been an explosion in all levels of education, growth of universities in number and size, increases in colleges of technology, Advanced Teachers Colleges etc. and an increase in secondary and primary schools system and in the establishment of a National Library. There has been a growth in research institutes, business, commercial and financial houses. There is therefore, tremendous need for librarians and information scientists in the country.
There would appear to be no doubt in the wisdom of the founding fathers of this University in mounting Library and Information Science as a course in this University. There are good indications that we can develop here a major professional school of Library and Information Science which can exert a considerable impact on the educational, technological, economic and cultural progress of our people.
To produce competent library and information professionals for all types of libraries.

JA Applauds US Supreme Court Decision, a Major Victory for Jewelers on E-Fairness
By a vote of 5-4, the Court struck down the earlier judgement.
(PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK – Jewelers of America (JA) applauds the decision by the United States Supreme Court to uphold South Dakota's sales tax fairness law and overturn the 1992 decision in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota. By a vote of 5-4, the Court struck down the earlier judgement, which established the current system under which states are prohibited from collecting sales and use taxes from sellers that do not have a physical presence in-state that led to the current uneven playing field between traditional and online sellers. The decision will enable states to pass laws that require remote retailers to collect sales tax, even if they do not have a physical presence in the state.
Chad Berg
Jewelers of America is a longtime proponent of sales tax fairness, advocating on the jewelry industry's behalf in support of efforts to enact legislation on federal and state levels for decades.
"This historic decision from the Court in support of sales tax fairness is a major victory for the jewelry industry, providing a clear path to level the playing field between traditional and online retailers," says David J. Bonaparte, JA President & CEO. "Now Congress must respond by passing federal legislation to create a universal federal framework for sales and use tax collection in a way that benefits businesses regardless of the state where their business resides and avoids a patchwork of state-by-state laws."
The Court heard oral arguments on April 17 on South Dakota v. Wayfair. At issue was South Dakota's sales tax fairness law, which had been ruled unconstitutional by the South Dakota Supreme Court last September. It requires online merchants with more than $100,000 in annual sales to state residents or 200 transactions with state residents to collect sales tax. JA supported South Dakota's petition and arguments to the Court, signing on with other retail organizations to file legal briefs last October and again in March.
In October, JA Members were featured prominently in an amicus brief — filed with nine other retail trade associations — in support of South Dakota's petition. They shared stories and information on how the practice of "showrooming" — visiting a store in order to examine a product before buying it online at a lower price or without sales tax — has negatively impacted jewelry businesses. Then in March, JA joined an omnibus brief — spearheaded by the Retail Litigation Center — that addressed the outsized negative impact that the Quill decision has had on brick-and-mortar retailers.
Even with the Court's favorable decision, JA will continue to push Congress to pass federal legislation in order to create a universal federal framework for sales and use tax collection, versus a state-by-state solution. The issue was a focus of meetings with Congressional leaders during JA's annual fly-in to Washington, D.C., held June 20.

Ten Girls in grades 3-5 who signed up for the Girls on the Run program at Monroe Elementary are having lots of fun. It is a program where girls train twice a week for 10 weeks to participate in a 5K run. The program is noncompetitive, and there is also a curricum dealing with healthy lifestyle, self-esteem, etc., that is also a part of the program. The culminating event will be a 5K run to be held at Susquehanna University on Nov. 12 where they will participate with other Girls on the Run programs from across our region. Good Luck, Girls! Girl Power!
On Friday, October 27th, the Monroe students put on their Halloween costumes and paraded down Snyder Street and through the Richfield Senior Center to share their Fall Fest Spirit. The students were treated to lovely andy filled bags. Thanks, Sr. Center! The students enjoyed their visit. They then continued their parade to Basom Park where they participated in a Fire Safety assembly by the Richfield Fire Company and Ambulance Service, were treated to snacks by our Home and School organization, and enjoyed some playground time. It was a wonderful day for everyone involved!
Even the teachers got in the act on our trip to the Senior Center!!!
On the afternoon of October 27th the students at Thompsontown donned their Halloween costumes and paraded around the school. A costume contest followed. After hanging out of their costumes, students were treated by Home and School and their teachers to fun Halloween games, activities, and treats. Our Fall Fest was a huge success!!
Thompsontown Elementary Remembers Our Veterans!

Zooey Deschanel Made Her TikTok Debut By Recreating The New Girl Theme
Schmidt would be so proud.
Zooey Deschanel is the New Girl... on TikTok, that is! The actor recently made her TikTok debut, in which she recreated her most iconic show's opening theme song. And yes, it's everything.
The video begins as Deschanel lip-syncs along to New Girl's theme song as she dons a variety of different outfits around the house. Jess' friends Cece (Hannah Simone), Nick (Jake Johnson), Schmidt (Max Greenfield), and Winston (Lamorne Morris) unfortunately don't make cameos in her TikTok, but at least Deschanel is still sporting some very Jess-esque bangs.
The "Who's That Girl" theme song typically ends with her character proclaiming, "It's Jess!" But in this case, Deschanel breaks character and says, "No, it's me, Zooey. Hi, I'm on TikTok. Yeah. Cool." Close enough! Fans are clearly into it, though, because Deschanel's first video has over a million likes and counting.
Hopefully she can round up the rest of the New Girl gang to make some hilarious *content* in the future. Or better yet, could the show score a reboot or reunion? The cast reunited for a 10-year anniversary Zoom panel earlier this summer, and with the success of programs like Friends: The Reunion and the iCarly revival, it's definitely possible. But since New Girl only ended three years ago, creator Elizabeth Merriwether says it's still a little too early to bring the show back.
"I think we need a little more water under the bridge [before revisiting New Girl] is what I'll say, but yeah," Merriwether said at Variety's 2021 TVFest. "When it feels right, when the universe says it's time, I will be there with my little tippy-tap computer writing stuff."
And according to Nick Miller himself, it's very likely that the stars will eventually align. "[The entire cast is] still linked up, so I would be surprised if there's not some sort of a thing at some point where everyone comes back," he said during an August 2020 appearance on Slate's Thirst Aid Kit podcast. "So Liz Meriwether would have to crack a great story, and if she does that, it would be really fun to get everybody back." Fingers crossed!

Q: How To Bind a Combobox to a Dictionary in WPF C# I'm trying to bind a combobox to a dictionary and display a specific field within the currently selected object in WPF.
What I want displayed in the combobox: ("I will do it" is initally selected)
I will do it
I will not do it
I might do it
What is actually displayed currently: (nothing is initally selected)
[YES, AnswerDisplayItem]
[No, AnswerDisplayItem]
[MAYBE, AnswerDisplayItem]
Here's my code:
public enum Answer { YES, NO, MAYBE}

public class AnswerDisplayItem
{
    public string DisplayName { get; }
    public string DisplayDescription { get; }
    public AnswerDisplayItem(string displayName, string displayDescription)
    {
        DisplayName = displayName;
        DisplayDescription = displayDescription;
    }
}

public class MyViewModel()
{
    public MyViewModel()
    {
        AnswerDisplay = new Dictionary<Answer, AnswerDisplayItem>
        {
            {Answer.YES, new AnswerDisplayItem("Yes", "I will do it") },
            {Answer.NO, new AnswerDisplayItem("No", "I will not do it")},
            {Answer.MAYBE, new AnswerDisplayItem("Maybe", "I might do it")}
        };
        SelectedAnswer = Answer.Yes;
    }

    public Dictionary<Answer, AnswerDisplayItem> AnswerDisplay{ get; private set; }

    private Answer _selectedAnswer;
    public Answer SelectedAnswer
    {
        get
        {
            return _selectedAnswer;
        }
        set
        {
            if (_selectedAnswer != value)
            {
                _selectedAnswer = value;
                RaisePropertyChanged();
            }
        }
    }
}

XAML:
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding AnswerDisplay}"
          DisplayMemberPath="Value.DisplayDescription"
          SelectedItem="{Binding SelectedAnswer}"/>

A: Use a Dictionary<Answer,string> (no need for another class)
AnswerDisplay = new Dictionary<Answer, string>
{
    {Answer.YES, "I will do it"},
    {Answer.NO,  "I will not do it"},
    {Answer.MAYBE, "I might do it"},
};

and bind it to the ComboBox
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding AnswerDisplay}"
          DisplayMemberPath="Value"
          SelectedValuePath="Key"
          SelectedValue="{Binding SelectedAnswer}"/>

Update
If you want to use your dictionary, then change the binding to
<ComboBox ItemsSource="{Binding AnswerDisplay}"
          DisplayMemberPath="Value.DisplayDescription"
          SelectedValuePath="Key"
          SelectedValue="{Binding SelectedAnswer}"/>

A: The desired functionality can be easily achieved by binding to key value property generated from enum:
Define the enum:
 public enum DateModes
{
    [Description("DAYS")]
    Days,
    [Description("WKS")]
    Weeks,
    [Description("MO")]
    Month,
    [Description("YRS")]
    Years
 }

The following helper method will return the KeyValue pairs
 public static string Description(this Enum eValue)
    {
        var nAttributes = eValue.GetType().GetField(eValue.ToString()).GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);
        if (nAttributes.Any())
        {
            var descriptionAttribute = nAttributes.First() as DescriptionAttribute;
            if (descriptionAttribute != null)
                return descriptionAttribute.Description;
        }

        // If no description is found, the least we can do is replace underscores with spaces
        TextInfo oTI = CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.TextInfo;
        return oTI.ToTitleCase(oTI.ToLower(eValue.ToString().Replace("_", " ")));
    }
public static IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> GetAllValuesAndDescriptions<TEnum>() where TEnum : struct, IConvertible, IComparable, IFormattable
    {
        if (!typeof(TEnum).IsEnum)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("TEnum must be an Enumeration type");
        }

        return from e in Enum.GetValues(typeof(TEnum)).Cast<Enum>()
               select new KeyValuePair<string, string>(e.ToString(), e.Description());
    }

Property in the ViewModel (or DataContext):
public IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> DateModes
        {
            get { return EnumHelper.GetAllValuesAndDescriptions<DateModes>(); }
        }

Our advertisements, fashion models, and concepts of beauty focus on being thin. Unfortunately, this sometimes becomes an obsession for some people. When people learn that amphetamines will keep you thin no matter what you eat by speeding up your metabolism, they often turn to them for weight loss.
According to the Center for Substance Abuse Research, amphetamines were never intended to produce the dramatic weight loss they are now known for. The weight loss effect is one of the reasons many people become amphetamine addicts. Although some people think that weight loss at any price is worth it, it is important to examine the negative side of amphetamines to judge whether this is true.
Drastic weight loss can cause liver or kidney failure.
As you continue to use amphetamines, your body begins to starve. Starvation is an extremely unhealthy condition; your body begins to metabolize itself. When it runs out of fat to metabolize, it will begin to eat away muscle and organ tissue.
Weight loss is not worth these long and short term effects. These are not rare side effects of an approved drug, they are common effects of taking large amounts of amphetamines. Most people who take this drug wind up with many of these symptoms and effects.
The treatment for amphetamine addiction is detox and counseling. Most people who undergo treatment do so in either an inpatient or an outpatient drug treatment facility. If someone is using amphetamines to lose weight and becomes addicted chances are they also have an eating disorder. The obsession with weight loss is a common symptom of most eating disorders.
In this case the eating disorder will need treatment as well as the addiction. Eating disorders if left untreated can go from just an amphetamine addiction to anorexia or bulimia. This is why you need treatment for an amphetamine addiction if you've been using it for weight loss.
For more information about addiction treatment or to find amphetamine addiction treatment and positive weight loss treatments, give us a call at 800-768-8728. We can help you find a treatment center that suits your needs.

We Love Newcastle
O2 Academy Newcastle's history is rooted in entertainment, operating as a picture house throughout the Golden Age of cinema from 1912 until 1958 when it became the Majestic Ballroom. Young music fans would spend time dancing to the sounds of a live house band and special performances from the likes of Johnny Kidd and the Pirates. For a brief time in the 1960s the venue was known as the Top Rank, one of the many suites across the UK that had become popular dance halls, but as the sixties began to really start swinging, so did the Majestic and some of the biggest artists of the time played here. The Beatles (1963), The Kinks (1964), The Moody Blues (1965), The Who (1965), The Yardbirds (1965) and The Small Faces (1966) all appeared but in 1967 it closed. It would spend the next 38 years as a Bingo Hall until 2005.
On opening night, Friday 14 October, The Futureheads with their hearts and music rooted in the North East, played to a sell-out crowd alongside fellow locals and friends, Field Music and Kubicheck! A restoration of the original ceiling features, stairways, stage and balcony created a dramatic and atmospheric gig space and the first night was a standout success. Goldfrapp, Ian Brown, Blondie, Happy Mondays, Stereophonics, Human League and Maximo Park followed in the first few months and now more than a decade on, O2 Academy Newcastle continues to delight the city's music fans. Highlights have included shows from The Specials, Slash, Amy Winehouse, Blur, Robert Plant, The Prodigy, Adele, Elbow, Arctic Monkeys, Foals and New Order.
The Beatles play twice this year when the venue is the Majestic. The band's biggest selling hit 'She Loves You' is penned in a hotel room on their second visit
The opening night of O2 Academy Newcastle takes place on 14 October. The Futureheads, Field Music and Kubicheck! play to an ecstatic sold-out crowd

Waking up with the Kings: April 17
Jon Rosen April 17, 2013 116 CommentsGame story
-An entertaining and occasionally sloppy and wide open hockey game fell in the San Jose Sharks' favor following a three-round shootout, as it often does. San Jose's 12 total shootouts and eight shootout wins lead the league, while Antti Niemi has denied 33 of 42 shooters in the extra session in a remarkable campaign that should have him in the conversation for the Vezina Trophy. Despite some aspects of the Kings' game that will need attention, not much was forfeited in the larger picture as Los Angeles maintained its fourth place standing, separated from deadlocked San Jose by virtue of seven additional regulation wins, from sixth-place Minnesota by two-points, and from seventh-place St. Louis by three points – though the Blues have a game in hand. According to SportsClubStats.com, there is a 90% chance that the Kings will finish fourth, fifth or sixth in the standings.
-San Jose's forecheck pressured Los Angeles into a pair of turnovers that allowed the home team to take a 2-0 lead over the span of 42 seconds in the second period. For the first goal, Slava Voynov appeared poised to use the boards to send the puck out of the zone to the right of Jonathan Quick before changing directions and circling back behind the net. By the time he found Dustin Penner to his left, the Sharks had two players offering pressure. Instead of chipping or lofting the puck into the neutral zone along the boards, Penner held the puck and attempted to free Mike Richards loose with a backhanded pass towards the top of the circle. The pass was knocked down by right leg of the 6-foot-5 Burns, who adeptly cradled the puck and nearly got down to one knee to shoot a fluttering puck over Jonathan Quick's glove hand. On the second goal, Robyn Regehr was left to contend with a swarm of teal in the corner to Quick's right. TJ Galiardi deserves a lot of credit for beginning and ending the scoring chance as he covered a lot of ice to intercept Regehr's pass along the boards and send the puck to Burns, who was straddling the trapezoid due southeast of Quick. Galiardi then made a beeline to the net to finish off Burns' pass on a quick give-and-go set up once again by San Jose's heavy forecheck.
-There was a lot to like about the setup of the Jake Muzzin power play blast that pulled the Kings within one in the second period. I'm not sure if San Jose even touched the puck after Trevor Lewis won the faceoff and eventually made his way to the net to provide a screen in front of Niemi. Muzzin and Voynov exchanged the puck at the blue line, and by the time Muzzin wound up for the shot, there wasn't a Shark offering resistance within 15 feet. It didn't appear that Niemi saw much of the heavy, low shot that improved Los Angeles' power play to 23.8% over the team's last 39 games (31-for-130).

Lava Flow for June
June play continued the odd journey of the Volcanoes through their 2019 season. The Volcanoes posted their season-best 12-8 record, and at the end of the month found themselves tied for first place in the Northbound division. For the season, the Volcanoes have allowed more runs (436) than they have scored (399), yet have won more games (41) than they have lost (39). The Volcanoes have hit better against righties (.800 OPS) than against lefties (.764 OPS) yet have a better record against lefties (12-6) than against righties (29-33). The Volcanoes have batted with the bases loaded a league-leading 73 times and while their overall OPS is .792, with the bases loaded they have hit to a .914 OPS, leading to a league-leading 61 runs from bases loaded situations.
(The Hypnotoads lead the league in bases-loaded OPS with 1.012, but have only batted with the bases loaded 56 times, producing 52 runs). Applegate's (.608 OPS) and Bismarck's (.545 OPS) batters have turned to jelly with the bases loaded.

Lava Flow for May
In "The Opposite" episode of Seinfeld, Jerry discovers a peculiar balance in his universe:
Jerry: Played cards last night.
Elaine: Oh yeah? How'd you do?
Jerry: Broke even.
Elaine: You always break even.
Jerry: Yeah, I know; like yesterday I lost a job, and then I got another one, and then I missed a TV show, and later on they re-ran it. And then today I missed a train, went outside and caught a bus. It never fails! I always even out!
In May the Volcanoes won 10 games, and lost 10 games. After 60 games, the Volcanoes have a record of 29 wins and 31 losses. In their 12 series, the Volcanoes have gone 3-2 in six series, 2-3 in five series, and took a 1-4 thumping at the hands of the Hypnotoads. They have just enough offense to win 29 games (Lindor hitting .324 with 17 HRs and 42 RBI) and enough bad starting pitching to lose 31 (six pitchers have started for Margaritaville in 2019, each has an ERA of over 5.00). Kenley Jansen has 11 saves, but has given up five home runs in 28 IP and blown three saves.
A somewhat quirky – but ultimately useless – fact: The Volcanoes have not played any extra-innings games in 2019. Such is the journey to a .500 season.
Three Up
April's "Three Up" featured two starting pitchers – Luis Castillo and Domingo German – and May's "Three up" features three more starting pitchers. Through Memorial Day, Volcano pitchers rank No. 3 (Castillo), No. 14 (German), No. 16 (Brandon Woodruff), No. 18 (Mike Minor), and No. 21 (Shane Bieber) in MLB for lowest OPS allowed. The potential to throw five of the top 21 (and with Jake Arrieta and Jose Quintana "lurking" at No. 50 and No. 54) starting cards in 2020's rotation is a big turnaround from the end of the 2018 season, when the returning Volcano starters were Ervin Santana, Andrew Cashner, Michael Fulmer, Dinelson Lamet, Cole Hamels and Brandon McCarthy (we still haven't given up on Lamet – who is expected back for the Padres soon). A big part of the turnaround was pick No. 20 in the March draft – Bieber. While BP was somewhat "down" on Bieber, stating, "The plus-plus command gives him a pretty high floor of capable innings eater, but the lack of advanced stuff or any true out-pitch is what keeps him from topping out as anything more than that," Shandler was more optimistic, noting, "Still some Dom uncertainty, but otherwise this is a skilled young SP looking at a potential breakout year." Through 10 starts / 63.2 IP for the Indians, Bieber has resolved the "Dom uncertainty," increasing his K/9 rate from 9.26 (in 2018) to 11.17. Perhaps he does have a true out-pitch after all! We might be looking back at this start against the Orioles on May 19 as the game where Bieber "announced his presence with authority." Bieber pitched a complete-game shutout, allowing five hits (all singles), no walks and striking out 15. Bieber also appears to have resolved his split issues (he is rated a 6R pitcher in his 2018 card), allowing an OPS of .665 vs lefties and .639 vs righties so far for the Indians.
Mike Minor Continue reading →
Lava Flow for April
Through the season's first quarter the Volcanoes emphasized that 2019 is likely to be a rebuilding year for the defending champions. The Volcanos can score – their 207 runs scored rank fourth in the league — but cannot prevent their opponents from scoring. Their 228 runs allowed rank 14th in the league. Most alarming is the 75 home runs allowed by Volcano pitchers, worst in the league and on a season pace for 300 homers allowed. ERA stats for Volcano starters read like the midterm grades for Delta House: Michael Fulmer – 5.85 (congratulations Mr. Fulmer, you're at the top of the Delta House pledge class); Jake Arrieta – 6.07; Jose Quintana – 6.75; Luis Castillo – 7.17; Mike Minor – 9.56.
Somehow in April play the Volcanoes managed to patch together a winning record, winning series against South Grand Prairie, West Atlanta and Bushwood to post an 11-9 record on the month and 19-21 record on the season. Key to this over-achievement were victories against pitching aces Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander and Trevor Bauer. Even more impressive was winning a series against the Bushwood Gophers – a feat that the 2018 championship team could not achieve in three attempts (the Volcanoes posted a 4-11 record against the Gophers in 2018).
Three Up: Continue reading →
Lava Flow for March
After back-to-back 106 win seasons and I-75 World Series Championships, the Volcanoes entered 2019 with high hopes. Reality for 2019 is perhaps best summed up in this comparison: in 2018 Kris Bryant had 6 ballpark diamonds on his card vs righties, and Kenley Jansen had 0 ballpark diamonds on his card vs righties – in 2019 Kris Bryant has 1 diamond on his card vs righties, and Kenley Jansen has 8 ballpark diamonds on his card vs righties. Offensive home runs down, home runs allowed up is never a good recipe for winning baseball. That recipe played out in March. While the Volcano offense scored 107 runs (good for 4th in the league), Volcano pitchers allowed a league-high 125 runs and 42 home runs. Highlights in March play included Francisco Lindor breaking out of his season-long 2018 slump to bat .354 with 8 HR's and a 3rd in the league 20 RBI's and Freddy Peralta's 1.80 era and 2-0 w/l record across 9 relief appearances.
With the Volcano pitchers determined to play "home run derby" through the 2019 I-75 season, perhaps more interesting for Volcano fans is following their potential talent for the 2020 I-75 season. With "Three Up / Three Down" we can report on three Volcanoes who are performing well in their 2019 MLB stats, and three Volcanoes who are lagging behind expectations in their 2019 MLB performance.
Three Up:
Julio Urias – The Volcano's second round draft pick in the 2017 draft had his future put on hold with shoulder surgery in the 2017 MLB season. Urias pitched 4 regular season innings in the 2018 MLB season (earning him the coveted "double void" card), and 7 postseason innings for the Dodgers. Facing an innings limitation entering his age-22 season in 2019, Urias appeared destined to begin the season in the Dodgers' bullpen. With Urias pitching as perhaps the Dodgers best starter in spring training, and with injuries to Hill and Kershaw, Urias found himself in the Dodgers April starting rotation. Urias responded with a gem in his first start, shutting the Giants out on 3 hits (in 5 innings) with no walks and 7 strikeouts. Perhaps most encouraging of all, Urias' velocity hit 98 mph – higher than his velocity pre-2017 injury. The ace-level ceiling for Urias is back "on."
Lava Flow for October
Votto
With 13 wins in October, the Volcanoes reached 106 wins for the second consecutive year. The matching 106-win seasons invite comparison between the 2017 and 2018 Volcano versions. Each team led the I-75 league in runs scored – the 2017 team with 996 runs; the 2018 team with 971 runs. The "new" Volcanoes were better at preventing runs – the 2017 team allowed 756 runs; the 2018 team allowed 678 runs. By "Pythagorean" math (a team's won-loss percentage is approximated by the formula runs scored squared divided by the sum of runs scored squared and runs allowed squared), the 2017 team exceeded their forecast by five games (101 forecast wins, 106 actual), while the 2018 team lagged their forecast by one game (107 forecast wins, 106 actual). David Ortiz led the 2017 team with 130.9 runs created (and won the mythical I-75 league MVP award voting). Ortiz's void was more than filled by Joey Votto, who led the 2018 team with 162.7 runs created (and who also won the mythical MVP award voting). Both teams led the league in home runs: 314 for the 2017 version; 272 for the 2018 version. Over two seasons, the Volcanoes have hit 586 home runs.
Lava Flow for September
Ah September …
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times,
(The Volcanoes beat the Bombers (4-1) and the Paperclips (5-0); the Volcanoes lost to the Gophers (1-4) and to the Treblemakers (2-3))
it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
(The Volcanoes scored 28 runs against the Bombers and 42 against the Paperclips; the Volcanoes scored 10 runs against the Gophers and 25 against the Treblemakers)
it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity,
(Charlie Blackmon had 7 RBI against the Bombers and 7 against the Paperclips; Blackmon had 2 RBI against the Gophers and 4 against the Treblemakers)
it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness,
(Alex Claudio had an ERA of 3.38 against the Bombers and 0.00 against the Paperclips; Claudio had an ERA of 13.50 against the Gophers and 13.50 against the Treblemakers)
it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,
(The Volcanoes outhomered the Bombers 9-5 and outhomered the Paperclips 7-4; the Volcanoes were outhomered by the Gophers 6-1 and outhomered the Treblemakers 7-6)
we had everything before us, we had nothing before us,
(The Bombers batted .238 against Ervin Santana and the Paperclips batted .176 against Santana; the Gophers batted .286 against Santana and the Treblemakers batted .571 against Santana)
we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way
(The Volcanoes converted .700 of their fielding x-chances against the Bombers and .963 of their chances against the Paperclips; the Volcanoes converted .682 of their fielding x-chances against the Gophers and .679 of their chances against the Treblemakers)
— in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.

Lava Flow for August
In August play the Volcanoes matched their July record, reposting a 1- win month. The Volcanoes were dominant against the Titans (5-0 record), very good against West Atlanta (4-1 record) and took series victories against Destin and East Cobb (3-2 against each). A significant improvement for the Volcanoes in August play was their record against left-handed starters. From March through July, the Volcanoes posted a record of 13-11 against lefties. After adding Justin Turner, Charlie Blackmon and Rhys Hoskins at the trade deadline the Volcanoes were a sparkling 6-1 against lefty starters in August play. Batting stars in August play were Justin Turner (.352 avg, 15 RBIs), Chris Taylor (5 HR's, 16 RBIs) and Kris Bryant (.436 OBP, 18 runs scored). Stepping down to #2 in the batting order (with Kris Bryant now manning the leadoff slot), Joey Votto led the Volcanoes in August with 18 RBIs. The starting pitching was strong in August play, with Ervin Santana, Andrew Cashner and Michael Fulmer each posting 3-1 records, and Brandon McCarthy returning from a 3-month vacation to post a 4-0 record. For the season, McCarthy has allowed 30 runs in 66 IP – with 10 runs allowed in one disastrous April start against the Hypnotoads (that team again!).
Emphasizing the "team" nature of this season, for a team that leads the league in home runs and runs, the Volcanoes do not have a player in the top 5 in either home runs or runs batted in, and for a team that leads the league in fewest runs allowed and wins, the Volcanoes do not have a pitcher in the top 5 in either ERA or in wins.
In September play, the Volcanoes face three road series, visiting Bushwood, Applegate and Dyersville while the Bombers of Bismarck make their first visit of the season to Margaritaville. The Volcanoes are 10-10 in 2018 play against these teams, taking 3-2 series victories against Dyersville and Bismarck while posting 2-3 series losses against Applegate and Bushwood.

Borikhamxay flood victims in need of emergency aid
Flood victims in Borikhan district, Borikhamxay province, urgently need rice and drinking water after flooding affected more than 1,500 families in 11 villages. The provincial health sector is sending a medical team to provide healthcare support to each village after the floodwater recedes.
Borikhamxay provincial Labour and Social Welfare Department has asked for assistance from government agencies and the private sector. Requesting as floodwaters swept away livestock, flooded rice barns, inundated croplands, hospitals and schools and washed out several sections of road, according to local authorities. Fortunately, there have been no reports of death or injury.
The provincial Red Cross, World Vision and other international relief organisations are waiting for detailed information on the extent of the damage from district authorities before delivering supplies. Many people have already returned to their homes but still require assistance, especially with rice and drinking water, because their rice barns and drinking water sources were damaged by the floods.
Heavy rain last weekend also caused the Nam Xedon river to rise rapidly, overflow its banks and flood some houses and farmland in Khongxedon district, Saravan province, but there have been no reports of damage from the district authorities.
According to the Meteorology and Hydrology Department, Rainfall is widespread throughout the country, with heavy rain forecast for some areas and isolated showers and drizzle in others. The provincial governor is planning to approve funding to help the flood victims but has not adjusted the budget yet.

Dismas Locaria and Jason Wool quoted extensively on cybersecurity incentives in Information Week
In an October 7, 2013 article, Information Week quoted Venable partner Dismas Locaria and associate Jason Wool extensively on incentives for companies to strengthen their cybersecurity systems.
Speaking at a Venable-hosted cybersecurity forum on September 25, Cyber Sticks and Carrots – How the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, Incentives, and the SAFETY Act Affect You, Wool said many of the [government] proposed incentives [to get infrastructure companies to bolster their cyber defenses] have already been discussed with industry leaders at National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) workshops held around the country. He added that the most promising of the NIST suggestions focused on remediation and liability limitation.
Wool said that legislation supporting liability limitation could create legal safe harbors for firms, but it's probable that cybersecurity legislation will be postponed until next year. Firms are unlikely to get liability coverage for cyber attacks under the new infrastructure being established, he concluded.
Locaria addressed liability protections as they relate to the SAFETY Act – a post-9/11 law designed to boost development of counterterrorism technologies. The Act offers three levels of protection to organizations: certification; designation; and developmental, testing and evaluation designation (DTED). Elaborating on the significance of the three statuses, he explained that a certification is the highest protection, and immunizes companies from third-party liability as the result of a terrorist attack.
Locaria said that as cybersecurity legislation remains on hold, firms can get protection under the Act by conducting an internal technology assessment and submitting an application to the Department of Homeland Security. The law is an additional tool for companies to use when assessing their vulnerability to cyber attacks, he said.
Venable partner and retired Navy Rear Admiral Jamie Barnett moderated the Venable-hosted cybersecurity event on September 25.

Written comments should be received by April 25, 2005. Dated: February 17, 2005. Anna Marsh, Executive Officer, SAMHSA. [FR Doc. 05–3546 Filed 2–23–05; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 4162–20–P DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Fish and Wildlife Service Notice of Permit Application and Availability of a Draft Safe Harbor Agreement for The Nature Conservancy (Aravaipa Property) AGENCY: Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior. Notice of availability and 30-day public comment period. ACTION: The Nature Conservancy (Applicant or TNC) has applied to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) for an enhancement of survival permit pursuant to Section 10(a)(1)(A) of the Endangered Species Act (Act). The Applicant has been assigned permit number TE–099809–0. The requested permit, which is for a period of 20 years, would authorize take of the endangered Gila topminnow (Poeciliopsis occidentalis occidentalis) and desert pupfish (Cyprinodon macularius) as a result of ongoing watershed improvement activities on TNC-owned property within the Aravaipa watershed identified in the application, Safe Harbor Agreement (TNC Agreement), and associated documents in Graham and Pinal counties, Arizona. Implementation of the TNC Agreement will reestablish Gila topminnow and desert pupfish in three south rim tributaries of Aravaipa Creek. DATES: To be considered, written comments must be received on or before March 28, 2005. ADDRESSES: Persons wishing to review the application, TNC Agreement, and ''Low Effect'' determination may obtain copies by writing to the Regional Director, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, P.O. Box 1306, Room 4102, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87103, or by contacting the Field Supervisor, Arizona Ecological Services Field Office, 2321 West Royal Palm Road, Suite 103, Phoenix, Arizona 85021–4951; phone: (602) 242–0210. Documents relating to the application will be available for public inspection by written request, by SUMMARY: VerDate jul<14>2003 18:49 Feb 23, 2005 Jkt 205001 appointment only, during normal business hours (8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.) at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Ecological Services Field Office, Phoenix, Arizona. Written data or comments concerning the application and TNC Agreement should be submitted to the Field Supervisor, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Ecological Services Field Office, 2321 West Royal Palm Road, Suite 103, Phoenix, Arizona 85021–4951. Please refer to permit number TE–099809–0 (TNC) when submitting comments. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Marty Tuegel at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Arizona Ecological Services Field Office, 201 N. Bonita Avenue, Suite 141, Tucson, Arizona 85745; phone: (520) 670–6150 x232. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The Applicant plans to reestablish populations of Gila topminnow and desert pupfish (covered species) on its properties within the approximately 537 mi2 (14,000 km2) Aravaipa watershed, Graham and Pinal counties, Arizona. Gila topminnow and desert pupfish are native to the Gila River basin. Based upon extensive fish sampling within the watershed, neither species is known to be present in the watershed. The Applicant, in cooperation with the Service, has prepared the TNC Agreement to provide a conservation benefit to, and allow for take of, Gila topminnow and desert pupfish. Based upon guidance in the Service's June 17, 1999, Final Safe Harbor Policy, if an agreement and its associated permit are not expected to individually or cumulatively have a significant impact on the quality of the human environment or other natural resources, the agreement/permit may be categorically excluded from undergoing National Environmental Policy Act review. The TNC Agreement qualifies as a ''Low Effect'' agreement, thus, this action is a categorical exclusion. The ''Low Effect'' determination for the TNC Agreement is also available for public comment. This notice is provided pursuant to Section 10(c) of the Act and National Environmental Policy Act regulations (40 CFR 1506.6). The TNC Agreement as currently written is expected to provide a net conservation benefit to the Gila topminnow and desert pupfish. The TNC Agreement and its associated permit will also provide protection to the Applicant against further regulation under the Endangered Species Act for its ongoing private land management activities in not only areas where PO 00000 Frm 00063 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 9093 populations of covered species are reestablished, but also in habitat the covered species disperse into, as a result of implementation of the TNC Agreement. Section 9 of the Act prohibits the ''taking'' of threatened or endangered species. However, the Service, under limited circumstances, may issue permits to take threatened and endangered wildlife species incidental to, and not the purpose of, otherwise lawful activities. Regulations governing permits for endangered and threatened species are at 50 CFR 17.22 and 50 CFR 17.32, respectively. Joy E.

Daisy Ridley Says She's 'Totally Satisfied' With Rey's 'Star Wars' Ending
Matt Singer Published: November 23, 2020
There are a lot of words I could use to describe the end of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. "Frustrating" ... "disappointing" ... "exasperating" all come to mind very quickly.
But Daisy Ridley, who starred as Rey in all three Star Wars sequels from Disney, shares none of those feelings, or the complaints underneath them. She says she is "totally satisfied" with how Rey's storyline resolved by the end of The Rise of Skywalker. That's right: Clone Palpatines, ghost fleets, hidden planets, Force healing — totally satisfied.
That's what Ridley told IGN in a recent interview. Here are her full comments:
I think for me the beauty of Episode IX is it ends with such hope and such potential. I just feel like that was Rey's perfect ending. The big battle was in Episodes VII, VIII, and IX ... I feel totally, totally satisfied with how that story finished. I just don't know what else she could do that I didn't have to do.
Asked if she would be interested in getting her own streaming series on Disney+, the way Obi-Wan Kenobi and Cassian Andor from Rogue One have upcoming on Disney+, Ridley didn't seem particularly excited by the idea. Speculating on what Rey would be up to after The Rise of Skywalker, Ridley remarked "I think really she's probably running around the forest somewhere having a great time." (I guess she didn't watch the LEGO Star Wars Holiday Special.) In other words: Don't hold your breath for Star Wars: The Return of Rey.

Less than 33% of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder are employed.
Many employers are hesitant to hire someone with ASD, but are fears steeped in reality? Diving into this untapped workforce can address current labour shortages while also making businesses stronger, more diverse and productive. Employees with ASD are known for their attention to detail, productivity, and high attendance records, yet many current recruitment practices filter out these qualified candidates. So what can be done to change these attitudes?
In this 60-minute webinar, David Patterson, Executive Director, Autism Nova Scotia and Chair, Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance (CASDA) will discuss why hiring an employee with ASD is the right decision for your business. David will explore simple, cost-effective ways to modify employment practices to make your workplace more inclusive for employees with ASD. Additionally, David will share simple tips and tools you can implement in the workplace to foster a healthy work environment and create a "win-win" for both employee and employer.
David is a teacher and educator at Autism Nova Scotia. He developed and oversees the implementation of two programs that help adults with autism secure meaningful employment: Autism Works LaunchPad and Autism Works Entrepreneurship. Originally from Calgary, Alberta, David is a graduate of Acadia University where he completed his Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Education. David believes in life-long learning and his work has helped demonstrate through his work on employment and pre-employment transitions that support means success.
Always great to get more awareness out there and hopefully many employers tap into this information to supplement their workforce. Well-done presentation.
Really enjoyed this webinar on a timely topic.
This is an amazing webinar. As a result of listening into this presentation by David our organization is partnering with Ready Willing and Able (RWA) in order to facilitate hiring people with Autism Spectrum Disorder. What I particularly like is that RWA respects the hiring process of the employer - it is an enhancement of the existing processes. Making it a an easy sell to hiring managers.


I try to make it a habit of stopping by a local whiskey shop every time I visit Berlin. After about one year and a half of visits, I recommend the following three locations if anyone is ever in the neighborhood and running a thirst for whiskey.
This place is so high class they sport a door buzzer to keep out the rabble. Equally knowledgeable of both world whiskies and cigars, the staff here is very friendly and most speak English well. Interested in tasting a whiskey before buying? They have a complete bar in the back with hundreds of bottles on hand for tasting. Whisky & Cigars tends to market to collectors and upper class whiskey drinkers who can afford the limited bottlings and imported items they sell here. Though not cheap, they usually hold items in stock that you will not find anywhere else. Call ahead or e-mail them if interested in a particular whiskey.
This was the first spot in Berlin that I went to for whisky. The shop has plaid wallpaper in the back tasting room so it's no surprise that their selection is biased towards Scotch and Irish whisky. The staff here is very friendly and usually will pour you a glass or two to taste while you peruse. They tend to have a very well stocked selection of 0.33 L bottles, meaning you can try some higher end whisky for cheap if you catch the selection at the right time. This is how I tried Talisker 57 North for the first time, so it's a nice way to sample some of the more expensive NAS whiskies before buying the full 0.7 liters. Now and then they host a whisky tasting evening in German with a cover charge.
This last place has a limited online presence (only Yelp) and sells wines, gins, rums, vodkas, brandies, as well as whiskies, but somehow their whiskey selection is the most thorough of any other shop in Berlin I have found thus far. Among some of their more interesting offerings is basically the entire Balvenie and Laphraog lineup as well as the Green Spot AND 12yr Yellow Spot. Their Japanese whisky selection is the best of Berlin as well as their American whiskey selection (the only place outside of the Eastern USA that I have ever seen Copper Fox carried). The downside here is that tastings will cost you and the help is a bit subpar. The upside is you can have a seat on their small patio and enjoy a glass of wine and it's right across the street from the historic Kulturbrauerei!
