FC Liefering GmbH is an Austrian association football club, originally from Liefering, a section of Salzburg. It currently plays in the Second League, the second tier of Austrian football. Since 2012, Liefering has been a reserve team for Austrian Football Bundesliga side FC Red Bull Salzburg.

In December 2011 Red Bull Salzburg signed a cooperation with FC Pasching (Regionalliga Mitte) and USK Anif (Regionalliga West). The coach of the Juniors, Gerald Baumgartner, left Salzburg and became new coach of FC Pasching. Also players went to Pasching and Anif. After the 2011–12 season, the new coach Peter Hyballa left the club and became new head coach of SK Sturm Graz. Liefering's ongoing presence in the Erste Liga continues to create unrest, with average an attendance of under 500, many people believe the club is not good for the league. However the club promotes youth and has been a key factor in FC Red Bull Salzburg's 2016–17 UEFA Youth League side, who ultimately won the tournament.

Seasons
From the 2012–13 season the club, formerly known as USK Anif, changed its name to FC Liefering. Liefering are sometimes called Red Bull Liefering as they adapted the jerseys and team colors from Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig. In the 2012–13 season they won the Regionalliga West and after two relegation matches they were promoted to the Austrian Football Second League.

They are the farm team of FC Red Bull Salzburg. They are not eligible for promotion. In their first year, they finished 3rd, in the 2014–15 season they finished 2nd.

In June 2015 coach Peter Zeidler left the team and became coach of FC Red Bull Salzburg. He was succeeded by Thomas Letsch, who also followed Zeidler to Salzburg for two matches after Zeidler was fired there.

As a feeder club the team fields very young players. In the next two seasons the average age of the team was under twenty years. Players like Samuel Tetteh or Gideon Mensah came to Salzburg from Ghana, other talented players came from the Red Bull Football Academy like Hannes Wolf or Luca Meisl.

In the 2016–17 season FC Red Bull Salzburg (U19) won the UEFA Youth League. Most of the players came from Liefering.

In the 2020–21 season Bo Svensson became coach of FC Liefering. In winter he went to Mainz 05 and Matthias Jaissle became coach of the team. At the end of the season he was promoted to FC Red Bull Salzburg as head coach. He followed Jesse Marsch, who went to RB Leipzig. The season was the most successful in history. The team ended as runner-up, only one scored goal behind the champion FC Blau-Weiß Linz.
After the season Kilian Schröcker, Fabian Windhager, Antonin Svoboda and Alexander Prass left the club.

In the 2021–22 season Rene Aufhauser, former assistant coach with FC Red Bull Salzburg, became new head coach of FC Liefering. He also is coach of the UEFA Youth League team of Red Bull Salzburg. After finishing 6th Aufhauser left the club.

For the 2022–23 season Fabio Ingolitsch, the coach of the U18 team became new headcoach of FC Liefering.

I was lucky as a child to grow up playing in the woods. I spent endless hours following trails, jumping brooks and exploring the forest around me. I am happiest as an adult being in a beautiful forest, if it leads me to a grand summit, I consider that a bonus. Today hikes to Mt. Potash brought back my inner child and it had the bonus of a stunning view at the summit.
Mt. Potash starts off at the parking area off of the Kancamagus Highway. The trail begins at .3 miles from the parking area on Downes Brook Trail.
Immediately you enter a beautiful forest and as we were to discovered it had many little treasures to see along the way.
After a short walk you meet up with Downes Brook. It wasn't flowing very strong, making it a simple crossing. If it is flowing and dangerous to cross you can get back in your car and go about .6 miles down the road to a logging road and hike in from there.
After the brook, we crossed a grassy logging road. I glanced down the road and noticed something brown standing about 100 feet away. At first I thought it must be a sign, but the longer I stared at it, I thought I saw it move.
See that little brown dot down there?
Mike advances to investigate and he whispers "moose". We have our first official moose sighting on a trail. Being ever respectful of this creature and wanting to stay safe, we remained far away and zoomed in to snap photos of our first moose.
Then he started to advance on us, we decided to cross the old logging road and let him be. Of course after spotting a real moose, I then had moose mirages throughout the hike.
The trail to the first ledge was full of little wonders, from stunning spider webs to an assortment of fungus. The grade was never demanding or very steep up to the first ledge.
We then arrived at our first ledge which offered beautiful views.
Leaving this ledge, the trail gets a bit steeper and you are hiking up rock slabs to the summit. I wouldn't walk up this if it were wet. I would be content with the first views.
The effort to get up the slabs was worth it. The views of the Sandwich Range and the Presidentials were unbelievably beautiful.
After a snack and just soaking in the views, we headed back down the trail. We were a little slower than book time, but that was because there was so much to discover on the forest part of the hike. We took our time noticing the small beauties around us.
This hike brought me back to my childhood, a wonderful forest, a brook to cross, rocks to scramble up and the bonus of outstanding views.
The Details: 4.4 miles round trip, elevation gain of 1400 feet, 3.5 hours including stopping time. For hiking in the white mountains this was a fairly easy hike. Beautiful forest hike with limited views out, until you reach the first ledge opening and the summit with stunning views.
Beautiful, Ann! I love the moose sighting and the subsequent "Moose Mirages". (Sounds like the name of a strong drink, I think…something like Pink Elephants.) Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos and story along the way.
Sarah, glad you enjoyed "moose mirages". I was hoping someone would get a kick out of that.
Have done that hike, great views…nice pics. Love the moose.

Global Business|Cyprus Bailout Incites Turmoil as Blame Flies
Cyprus Bailout Incites Turmoil as Blame Flies
By James Kanter, Nicholas Kulish and Andrew Higgins
BRUSSELS — A plan to rescue the tiny European country of Cyprus, assembled overnight in Brussels, has left financial regulators, German politicians, panicked Cypriot leaders and a disgruntled Kremlin with a bailout package that has outraged virtually all the parties.
In the end, a bailout deal that was supposed to calm a financial crisis in an economically insignificant Mediterranean nation spread it wider. Word of the plan unnerved markets across Europe, raised fears of bank instability in Spain and Italy and sent pensioners into the streets of the island's capital, Nicosia, in protest.
As markets tumbled and the Cypriot Parliament fell into turmoil, salvos of blame were hurled back and forth across the Continent.
Officials scrambled to explain what went wrong and how best to control the damage of what Philip Whyte, a senior research fellow at the Center for European Reform, called a "completely irrational decision" to make bank depositors liable for part of the bailout. The deal flopped so badly that finance ministers who came up with it shortly before dawn on Saturday were on the phone to each other Monday night talking about ways to revise it. Whatever the outcome, the dispute is a vivid demonstration of why Europe, which until recently was congratulating itself on having weathered the worst of the financial storm, has trouble making decisions with so many different interests represented at the table.
Politics, both domestic and international, get in the way of economics and make it difficult for wealthy countries to line up behind a plan to help the smallest ones. The northern European nations have grown so weary of bailouts for their southern neighbors that they were intent on exacting a hefty contribution from their latest supplicant. Germany in particular, with parliamentary elections looming in September, was set on driving a hard bargain.
A wild card in this instance were the Russians, who have deposited billions in Cypriot banks, extended a $3.25 billion line of credit to Nicosia in 2011 and were in negotiations to help out Cyprus once again. Cypriot leaders apparently were so concerned with keeping their wealthy offshore Russian customers happy that they pushed their own citizens to pay even more than some of the lenders were demanding.
The Russians reacted angrily to a so-called stability tax on deposits in Cyprus, and at being left out of the negotiations. On Monday, Russia's minister of finance, Anton Siluanov, warned that Russia might not extend the existing credit line because the Europeans had not consulted authorities in Moscow about the deposit levy plan. On Sunday, one Russian official was reported by the Interfax news agency as advising Russians to withdraw funds from Cyprus, saying the banking system was untrustworthy.
The all-night discussions began Friday and ran for 10 hours, ending shortly before dawn on Saturday. Cyprus needed to come up with billions of dollars to help cover the costs of the bailout of the country's financial sector, or its European allies said they would leave it to face the prospect of collapse alone.
Each of the major stakeholders, which included the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank and euro zone finance ministers, entered the room with a conflicting goal. Protecting the small-time saver was at the top of no one's list. The result was a compromise solution everyone is now unhappy with, officials say, one that stands to cost ordinary Cypriot depositors 6.75 percent of their savings.
The Germans and their northern European allies wanted to exact a maximum contribution from Cyprus to ensure the deal could pass their recalcitrant, bailout-weary parliaments at home. A confidential report by the German foreign intelligence agency, known by its German initials as the B.N.D., was making the rounds, one that painted the island as a haven for money-laundering. The stigma attached to helping the Cypriots — and the political cost in an election year — was rising rapidly.
The I.M.F. was dead set on keeping the debt at what its number-crunchers considered a sustainable level. The Cypriots, meanwhile, wanted to spread the pain around.
After midnight, negotiators thought they had a proposal that could work: a one-time "tax" of 12.5 percent on depositors with $130,000 in the bank and milder but still painful cuts of around half that or less for everyday account holders — the pensioners and laborers who thought their money was protected.
The proposition, worked out by small group of finance ministers, including those from Germany and the Netherlands, and the European Central Bank, was taken to a different room in a sprawling, Brutalist Brussels office mocked by some as the Kremlin and shown to Nicos Anastasiades, the newly elected president of Cyprus.

The president, who had left initial talks in the hands of his own finance minister, flatly rejected the offer. He insisted, according to European officials, that large depositors must not face a levy higher than 10 percent.
This meant that small savers would have to take a bigger hit, but it did soften the blow on Russians and others who, looking for a safe place to park their money, have turned the tiny Mediterranean island into a financial center known for not asking too many questions.
What happened next sealed the deal, which now appears to be coming apart amid strong protests from ordinary Cypriots. Jörg Asmussen, a German member of the executive board of the European Central Bank, told Michalis Sarris, the Cypriot finance minister, that stopgap financing for Cyprus would be cut off this week if no agreement was reached.
Mr. Asmussen's message "really did sharpen the thinking of Mr. Anastasiades," said a European official with knowledge of what happened during the talks but who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were conducted in private.
"The Cypriot president understood clearly he faced the collapse of his banking system and disorderly exit from the euro area," said the official.
What emerged was a deal that took a bite out of average savers, one that made sense in the wee hours between the dealmakers. In the light of day, as Cypriots tried desperately to pull their savings out of A.T.M.'s, it looked like a threshold that many experts say should never have been crossed.
"The result is a likely bank run in Cyprus alongside financial and sovereign instability in the wider euro area," said Mujtaba Rahman, a senior analyst with the Eurasia Group who has followed the European debt crisis.
At several points along the path that led to the decision on Saturday morning, the European Commission, the union's policy-making arm, tried to warn that imposing losses on bank accounts could be a recipe for panic — and not only in Cyprus.
In the weeks leading up to the meeting on Friday, Olli Rehn, Europe's commissioner for economic and monetary affairs, told a representative of the Eurogroup of finance ministers that the levy should probably be set at 2 percent, and certainly at a level no higher than 5 percent, across all types of deposits.
The European Central Bank also had reservations about levying higher taxes, but the Germans wanted $9.2 billion from depositors, officials said. That was an enormous contribution for a country the size of Cyprus.
Imposing the tax on all bank deposits in the country was, in part, a move "to stop money being put into smaller packages or to have it sliced up" so that wealthier depositors, including Russians, would be able to avoid the tax, said one diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the talks were held behind closed doors.
The Cypriots insisted that they couldn't "go beyond a one-digit number for higher deposits," said another official familiar with the discussions. "From there its simple mathematics if you don't want to go above that."
Mr. Rehn then went to Mr. Sarris with slightly revised numbers lowering the rate on larger deposits, right up against the threshold at 9.9 percent. The contribution from depositors had come down to $7.6 billion, leaving the rate on smaller holdings at 6.75 percent.
With few options, Mr. Anastasiades accepted the new terms.

Coreslab close to purchasing Lake County land for new manufacturing plant
By Teresa Burney
Coreslab builds a multitude of structures made from concrete, from aircraft control towers to stadiums, to parking garages.
The City of Leesburg is expecting Coreslab to close on its purchase of 75 acres in the city's 470 Commerce Park in about 10 days, said Michael Rankin, the city's economic development director.
Coreslab, an architectural concrete producer of precast and precast concrete products for parking garages, stadiums and other large concrete structures, announced in February that it is expanding and moving its manufacturing facility from Orlando to Lake County. Ground breaking is scheduled for the fall. Plans are for the plant to be operating in early 2016.
Coreslab operates across the U.S. and in Canada.
The plant is expected to employ 55 in the beginning, with the capacity to expand to 100 workers, the February announcement said.
The commerce park, with 640 acres, is at Florida's Turnpike and County Road 470, a prime location for companies that need to move product. The site is zoned for fast-track approvals of industrial development. It also has access to public utilities as well as high-speed fiber-optic data communications.

Water levels lowered at Beddington Park as £3.7m project gets underway
News from Sutton
Work is underway as part of an ambitious £3.7m project to restore, conserve and enhance the historic Beddington Park.
Sutton Council was successfully awarded £3m in funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund and also some funding from the Big Lottery last year. The project is being shaped by local residents and stakeholders, including the Friends of Beddington Park, who are all keen to make their environment even better - writes newsroomsutton.co.uk.
Improvements to the lake are a key part of the project, and the lake will be dredged to remove years of build-up of material. This week water levels on the lake will be gradually lowered ready for dredging work to begin. Specialist contractors, the Environment Agency and stakeholders are working together to ensure wildlife is safe, with fish being removed as the water levels drop and waterfowl naturally relocating.
Works will continue throughout the rest of this year, with the project anticipated to finish in April 2018. Updated information on works can be found on notice boards in the park, and on the Friends of Beddington Park website.
Some of the works being carried out include:
improvements to park entrances
Improved access and parking
installation of interpretation panels
restoration and improvements to the Grange Garden (to include an apple orchard)
development of a new garden space in the churchyard extension
dredging and improvement works to the lake and stock pond
the enlargement and improvement of the children's playground
The project also involves the delivery of a three year programme of activities and events, including a range of walks and talks, children's activities, exercise programmes, art and theatre events as well as a volunteer programme providing training and volunteer opportunities throughout the park.
Cllr Jill Whitehead, chair of the environment and neighbourhood committee, said: "This is a very exciting project which promises to make Beddington Park an outstanding highlight of the borough for residents and visitors.
"Inevitably the scale of the works means there will be some disruption to daily park use, for which I apologise in advance.
"Rest assured that we are doing everything to carefully protect and preserve the wildlife, and by the Spring the park will really start to come to life and be back to its very best."
Signs and information boards in the park will highlight temporary path closures and alternative routes. Further information can also be found on Twitter or by subscribing to the mailing list .
The 58 hectare Beddington Park originated as a deer park in the 14th century for the noble Carew family, whose manor house still stands in the park today and is now Carew Academy. The River Wandle runs through the park.
Beddington Park is one of the richest archaeological sites in south west London with evidence of settlements dating back to the late Bronze Age. The discovery of a Roman stone coffin in 1930 suggests a grand Roman villa and bath house once stood to the north side of the park.

Security researcher Randy Westergren has reverse engineered super popular app Trivia Crack, recompiled it to help cheaters and along the way showed how to turn it into nastyware.
Trivia Crack has taken the world by storm, accruing some 130 million installs across Android devices and an unknown on iOS units.
The app which pits players in competitive trivia has even gotten the New York Mets addicted, according to the The Wall Street Journal.
Another victim was Westergren's wife, prompting the hacker to examine the app's insides.
"I began by monitoring the web API requests made over the network while using the Android app," Westergren says.
"It seemed that the app was receiving the category, question, and answer from the Trivia Crack servers before the user even began spinning the 'category' wheel.
"... the category, question, answer options, and correct answer keys are all included in the response. This means it would be straightforward to identify the answer when asked within the app to cheat the game."
His 44Mb recompiled .apk app (requires installation of unknown sources to be checked) provided numbers next to Trivia Crack questions that relate to the correct answer.
These answers are pulled from the server responses described in the code as 'ANSWERS_CHEAT' which Westergren plucked using Grep.
While his work serves to tip the social gameplay balance to cheaters, Westergren says it also shows that "client application privacy cannot be guaranteed and developers should be careful about what's included in their compiled releases".
The researcher's lighter work comes fresh off disclosing dangerous vulnerabilities in Verizon's FiOS application that affected some five million users.

Q: Oracle dba_tab_cols query Hi is it possible to retrieve the primary key and unique key using the dba_tab_cols query?
Is there any query that allows me to retrieve all of the following fields?

*

*Column Name

*Data Type

*Primary Key

*Null/Not Null

*Unique Key

*Default Value

*Extra

A: Both primary and unique keys can span more than one column, so they wouldn't belong in dba_tab_columns. You'd need to look at dba_constraints and dba_cons_columns to get that information.
This is a starting point, maybe:
select owner, table_name, column_name, data_type, primary_key,
  nullable, unique_key, data_default
from (
  select dtc.owner, dtc.table_name, dtc.column_id, dtc.column_name,
    dtc.data_type, dtc.nullable, dtc.data_default,
    case when dc.constraint_type = 'P' and dcc.column_name = dtc.column_name
      then dc.constraint_name end as primary_key,
    case when dc.constraint_type = 'U' and dcc.column_name = dtc.column_name
      then dc.constraint_name end as unique_key,
    row_number() over (partition by dtc.owner, dtc.table_name, dtc.column_id
      order by null) as rn
  from dba_tab_columns dtc
  left join dba_constraints dc
  on dc.owner = dtc.owner
  and dc.table_name = dtc.table_name
  and dc.constraint_type in ('P', 'U')
  left join dba_cons_columns dcc
  on dcc.owner = dc.owner
  and dcc.constraint_name = dc.constraint_name
  and dcc.table_name = dc.table_name
  and dcc.column_name = dtc.column_name
  where dtc.owner = '<owner>'
  and dtc.table_name = '<table_name>'
)
where rn = 1
order by owner, table_name, column_id;

I've done this with a subquery that generates a row_number value because you'd get duplicates for a table with more than one constraint; and because you want the default value, which is a long (column data_default), you can't use distinct or group by. It feels a bit inelegant, but I'm sure you can work on it to get what you need.
It's also possible to have a check constraint that replicates the not null version, though it isn't advisable. And a unique index won't show up as a unique constraint, so you might want to look for one of those too, via dba_indexes and dba_ind_columns. An index used to back up a unique constrain will appear in both, though.
You could look at dbms_metadata.get_ddl to get this information too, depending on what you intend to do with it. I'm not sure why this would be useful, other than to try to recreate the schema elsewhere, and there are better tools for doing that.

I rebuilt this here from a blog I did on this, so if the formatting is a little jacked up, I apologize.
The Ohio History Center was the location of a US Civil War reenactment this June at the Ohio Village area.
The village was sectioned off into 2 camps, one for those representing the Union soldiers and the other section housed the Confederate soldiers.
As with most of the reenactment events, most of the day, you wander about the grounds and learn from the reenactors there about the time period and the lives the soldiers led.
Specific times allow for expertly choreographed battles that include various types of cannon, cavalry and infantry skirmishes with varying maneuvers.
You can learn quite a bit just by watching these battle sequences to see how warfare was conducted back in the 1860's.
These types of events can be very immersive and the Ohio Village is a perfect backdrop to this event.
Looks like a great event and you got some terrific shots. Very nice!
I just noticed that most of the men in uniform during the actual American Civil War were less than half the age of the people in these pictures.
Well, that was was long time ago. They're a lot older now.
I've noticed over the years it seems like the younger set tend to stay away from these events unless they are spectating. A shame, but a reality.
Unfortunately in the current world, the young have real wars in which to participate.
My experience is limited to OH right now. I grew up 20 miles from Gettysburg and you'd get a whole different demographic to do re-enactments there. That was back in the late 80's and early 90's before I moved out to OH for college/career.
Speaking of Gettysburg....if you love US Civil War history, Gettysburg is one of those must see places. It still gives me shivers to this day when I go back and visit family. Just thinking about all those Confederate soldiers that charged across the field during Pickett's Charge, Staring down the barrels of cannon and rifle. The desperation and courage it took. Seeing Devil's Den and imagining a what the sharpshooter's of the day needed to overcome....visiting Bloody Run and imagining a whole creek so filled with blood that it was crimson red.....and imaging that soldiers from either side would meet up at night and talk, only to know that they would face each other on the field the next day.
Gettysburg still gives you all that and more. It is a true treasure of history and a place that I feel should be on everyone's bucket list.
A great set of photos, but does anyone else feel that the pathos of the downed soldier scene is somehow diminished by the "Ohio Village Muffins" sign?
Any reason you shot in B&W? For that 'authentic' look I would have guessed Sepia. Mind you, I'd have gone with colour but that's just me and I'm a whiny-faced, pernickety sort.
I went to the one at Prado Dam in Chino/Corona, CA recently... the actors were not young but a local Boy Scout troop was volunteering to help with setup & logistics, and iirc food.
I wasn't very happy with the pics I took; the battle was on a small hill so everything was at an angle, and the sun was bright overhead... I should try desaturating though.
BTW, the actor turnout was reportedly small this year, ironically due to an ongoing grievance between the North & South 'armies' as to how the battles should be enacted.
I'm not sure if this is nationwide or just in the West.
It's funny, and I'm not picking on you....but I've been shooting reenactments since 2005, and I always get that question. I shoot in color, then post process. This year I chose B&W, but in the past I've shot and processed in Sepia and Ambrotype as well. It seems like I should process them all in all three monochrome types.
I personally prefer processing to Ambrotype, but I try my best to try out different processes. B&W just seemed to feel the way I should go this time.
If you are interested here is a set from my Flickr account of other years.

The City of Rancho Palos Verdes continues to monitor the spread of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Los Angeles County and would like to share the following updates with the community:
The City is sad to announce that we have learned that a resident who contracted the novel coronavirus has died. We extend our deepest condolences to the resident's family and ask for their privacy to be respected during this difficult time.
As of March 30, there are 2,474 known cases of novel coronavirus across Los Angeles County, including the South Bay, so the public should not think one location is safer than another and everyone should be aware and practice social distancing, also known as physical distancing. The total includes 10 cases in Rancho Palos Verdes and 14 in Palos Verdes Estates. Countywide, 44 people have died.
For a list of cases broken down by city and age group, visit: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/Coronavirus/locations.htm
It's important to note that the total number of confirmed cases that the Department of Public Health shares every day reflects a moment in time and may not include cases confirmed by commercial labs that have not yet been shared with the Department of Public Health. A commercial lab may share a positive result with a physician before the health department.
PVPUSD Closure Extended through April 30
Following President Trump's extension of social distancing guidelines through April 30 and a recommendation from the Los Angeles County Office of Education for districts to remain closed through May 5, the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District will extend its school site closure through April 30. Moving forward, the District will continue to reevaluate this situation and any new developments that may impact efforts to reopen its schools. To read the full announcement, visit: https://www.pvpusd.net/apps/news/article/1200499
It's National Doctors' Day! The City would like to commend doctors and all health care workers and first responders for their heroic efforts putting themselves at risk on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. Please say "thank you" by staying home and keeping each other safe. And if you can help provide critically-needed medical supplies and personal protective equipment, check the How You Can Help page on the City's coronavirus webpage.
California Health Corps
Today, Governor Gavin Newsom launched an initiative to expand California's health care workforce and recruit health care professionals to address the COVID-19 surge. Health care professionals with an active license, public health professionals, medical retirees, medical and nursing students, or members of medical disaster response teams in California are all encouraged to join the new California Health Corps.
Interested medical and health care professionals are encouraged to visit healthcorps.ca.gov for more information and to register for the California Health Corps. Medical doctors, nurses, respiratory therapists, behavioral health scientists, pharmacists, EMTs, medical and administrative assistants, as well as certified nursing assistants are encouraged to step up and meet this moment to help California respond to the outbreak.
Governor Newsom also signed an executive order that will temporarily expand the health care workforce and allow health care facilities to staff at least an additional 50,000 hospital beds the state needs to treat COVID-19 patients. A copy of the Governor's executive order can be found online at https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/3.30.20-EO-N-39-20.pdf
A Message from Cal Water
We would like to take a moment to update you on how California Water Service (Cal Water) is responding to the public health emergency caused by the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
Supporting our Customers & Protecting Them Against Potential Scams
We know these are challenging times, so we have temporarily suspended water service shutoffs for non-payment and restored service for customers with delinquent accounts as part of our larger response to COVID-19. We also stand ready to assist our customers with extensions or other payment arrangements if they're having difficulty with their bills. If customers ever have any questions about their water utility service, they should call their local Customer Center for assistance.
Additionally, we have received reports of utility customers being targeted by scammers during the current public health emergency. In one case, customers were mailed what appear to be checks from Cal Water, which would likely be used in a refund scam. In another, customers are being threatened with service disconnection unless they make an immediate payment over the phone. Please know that we never contact customers asking for payment with a specific method; we have worked with local media and posted on our social media channels to get this important message our and protect our customers.
You can help alert residents to these potential scams by sharing this information on Facebook or Twitter.
Ensuring the Reliability of Critical Infrastructure
Perhaps more than ever, it is clear why the water systems that form the foundation of our communities are classified by the federal government as critical infrastructure. As stewards of this critical infrastructure, our employees and the contractors who assist them take great pride in their roles as essential critical infrastructure workers, helping to ensure that customers continue to have safe, reliable water utility service during these tumultuous times.
As the Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently explained, "[e]nsuring that drinking water and wastewater services are fully operational is critical to containing COVID-19 and protecting Americans from other public health risks." This is a responsibility we take seriously. Our team of experts remains on the ground to maintain the water system, and ensure that it continues to operate safely and reliably.
Our employees and contractors are complying with all social distancing guidelines, as well as upholding the highest standard in personal hygiene and workplace sanitation practices. We remain prepared to mobilize resources from across the state should the need arise. In short, we will do what is needed to ensure customers have the water they need.
Drinking Water Remains Safe
Our customers' drinking water is the last thing they need to worry about at a time like this. The water we provide can be used as normal and remains safe for drinking, cooking, and handwashing. State, federal, and international organizations concur that COVID-19 is not transmitted through drinking water. The rigorous water testing and treatment measures we already employ safeguard our customers' drinking water.
You can help reassure residents that their drinking water is safe by sharing this information on Facebook or Twitter.
Safe, reliable water utility service is a critical tool in the battle against COVID-19, and we want to do everything we can to keep our customers and communities healthy. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.

Reminder: Parks, Beaches and Nature Preserve CLOSED
Over the weekend, City Staff and Park Rangers largely observed compliance with the closure of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, all City parks, beaches, community centers, amenities and trails. However, personnel made contact with a considerable number of individuals, including residents living in neighborhoods with access to the Preserve, disregarding signs and barricades. To those of you who are doing the right thing, we appreciate your cooperation. To those who are not, realize you're part of the problem you're trying to escape.
For a full list of closures, read a press release at: bit.ly/2UexWwo
County Beaches and Hiking Trails CLOSED
On March 27, county officials revised the "Safer at Home" Public Health Officer Order to close all public beaches, trails, trailheads, piers, public beach parking lots, bike paths on the beach, and beach access points countywide through at least April 19. The closures are due to recent dramatic increases in COVID-19 cases and increased usage of beaches and hiking trails by many groups of people. Persons may continue to use currently open and publicly available park space, not prohibited by the order, for passive recreational activities, but must practice social distancing.
Please note that parks, beaches and open space areas in Rancho Palos Verdes, including the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, are CLOSED. Deane Dana Friendship Park and the South Coast Botanic Garden are partially closed.

When fuel prices drop, many business owners think that fuel cards are no longer needed. After all, what's a few cents savings on a gallon of gas when fuel prices are expected to dip below $2 a gallon throughout the New Year? Truth is, when fuel prices are at their lowest, a fuel card may bring your business even more savings.
Your driver has a monthly fuel allowance that hasn't yet been adjusted for the lower gas prices. Your driver pays for his fill up like usual. Since his overall monthly fuel spend is lower, he decides that you'll never know if he goes inside and adds a six pack and some snacks. His total monthly spend is still lower than before, so no red flags are risen. Perhaps your driver even brings their personal car to the pump and adds an extra tank of gas on you. You'll never know because his spending pattern hasn't really changed.
Fuel fraud is more common than you think. According to a recent survey, 18% of fleet managers have experienced fraud or misuse. Implementing a fuel card program puts control back in fleet manager's hands.
Don't allow your business to fall victim to fuel fraud. No matter the size of fleet, there's a fleet fuel card that works for every company. Fuel cards allow fleet managers to regain control, allowing businesses to reap the full benefits of dropping fuel prices – not offset those savings with added costs that are being incurred under the radar.


FORT WORTH — Family and friends honored a 35-year-old Army veteran on Monday during his final moments as he was wheeled through the halls of a Texas hospital to donate his organs.
Family members said Staff Sgt. Matthew James Whalen was diagnosed on Saturday with a brain hemorrhage. Sadly, he did not recover.
On Monday, Whalen's family made the decision to withdraw life support and his organs were donated to two veterans.
Sean Hatton posted a video on Facebook that shows Whalen's final moments.
"In his final act on this Earth, it's only fitting that he gave his life and in return saved two others. And it's almost as if it were meant to be that the two donor recipients happened to be veterans.
People lined the halls at Plaza Fort Worth Medical Center to say their final goodbyes. Whalen's wife, Hannah, can also been seen in the video. The GoFundMe page has been set up to help Hannah, who is also a veteran, financially support their three children and cover medical expenses.

Wayne Dyer Quotes
United States, Motivational Speaker
May 10, 1940 – August, 29, 2015.
Wayne Walter Dyer was an American philosopher, self-help author, and a motivational speaker. His first book, Your Erroneous Zones (1976), is one of the best-selling books of all time, with an estimated 35 million copies sold to date.
Also known as Writer, Philosopher
The Tao teaches us not to intervene and interfere. The things we love we have to learn to leave alone. And the people we love we have to learn to let them be.
Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.
If life is a checker game, someone else is moving the pieces. It isn't us. Don't be surprised by amazing coincidences. There are no accidents. Consider, as I learned to do, the incredible interconnectedness of all of life.
Real magic in relationships means an absence of judgment of others.
As the father of eight children, I'm quite convinced that each individual arrives here with their own unique personality. We are intended here from an invisible held of infinite potentiality. That which has no form, has no boundaries - it's the I that's in the ever-changing body.
Only the insecure strive for security.
Water is the softest of all things, yet it is the most powerful. The ocean patiently allows all things to flow into it. It is always flexible. The Tao is not about grasping, but allowing, like water.
We only need so much to survive, but this world we live in tells us we need more stuff to be happy. We're inundated with our televisions, the Internet and advertising that says in order to be happy you have to have these things. When you say, 'Gimme, gimme, gimme,' you will always be in short supply.
Conflict cannot survive without your participation.
When I chased after money, I never had enough. When I got my life on purpose and focused on giving of myself and everything that arrived into my life, then I was prosperous.
When your higher self is present, it always promotes peace.
Deficiency motivation doesn't work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.
Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God's divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego's insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you.
We are Divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive.
You cannot be lonely if you like the person you're alone with.
Simply put, you believe that things or people make you unhappy, but this is not accurate. You make yourself unhappy.
A person standing in front of an audience without enthusiasm for his subject and his actions is disconnected from his spirit.
Everything that's created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness.
I spent years studying the teachings of Patanjali, and he reminded us several thousand years ago that when we are steadfast - which means that we never slip in our abstention of thoughts of harm directed toward others - then all living creatures cease to feel enmity in our presence.
What is the Tao Te Ching? Five hundred years before the birth of Jesus, a God-realized being named Lao-tzu in ancient China dictated 81 verses which are regarded by many as the ultimate commentary on the nature of existence.

The Business of Mining: The Mining Business, Uncertainty, Project Variables and Risk, Royalty Agreements, Pricing and Contract Systems, and Accounting for the Extractive Industry
Book Description Table of Contents Author(s) Instructor Resources Support Material
The Business of Mining complete set of three Focus books will provide readers with a holistic all-embracing appraisal of the analytical tools available for assessing the economic viability of prospective mines. Each volume has a discrete focus. This first volume presents an overview of the mining business, followed by an analysis of project variables and risk, an overall coverage of the royalty agreements, pricing and contract systems followed by a final chapter on accounting standards and practises for the minerals industry.
The books were written primarily for undergraduate applied geologists, mining engineers and extractive metallurgists and those pursuing course-based postgraduate programs in mineral economics. However, the complete series will also be an extremely useful reference text for practicing mining professionals as well as for consultant geologists, mining engineers or primary metallurgists.
1 Overview of the mining business
2 Uncertainty, project variables and risk
3 Royalty pricing, agreements and contract systems in mining
4 Accounting for the extractive industry
Emeritus Professor Odwyn Jones commenced work as a mining trainee with the UK National Coal Board (NCB) in 1950 and was granted an Industry Sponsored Scholarship a few years later to read for a mining engineering degree at the University College of Wales, Cardiff, where he graduated with a BSc with first class honours. He then returned to the industry, obtaining his Colliery Manager's Certificate.
In 1957 he accepted the position of Lecturer in Mining Engineering at the Royal College of Science and Technology, Glasgow, which later became Strathclyde University. His part-time research, involving both laboratory work and field-testing at a local colliery, was sponsored by the NCB, and he graduated with a PhD from the University of Glasgow in the mid-sixties. In 1970 he accepted the position of Principal Lecturer in Environmental Technology of Buildings at the Polytechnic of the South Bank, London, before moving on to Bristol Polytechnic in 1973 as Head of Department of Construction and Environmental Health. In 1976, Emeritus Professor Jones and his family moved to Western Australia where he took up the joint posts of Principal of the WA School of Mines, Kalgoorlie, and Dean of Mining and Mineral Technology at the WA Institute of Technology, which later became Curtin University. In 1991 he transferred from Kalgoorlie to the University's main campus in Perth as Director University Development (International) and Director of the Brodie-Hall Research and Consultancy Centre.

Suzuki and Yoshimura Celebrate 40-Year Partnership
March 26, 2018 Motor Sports NewsWire Motorcycle - Road Racing, Powersports, Racing Comments Off on Suzuki and Yoshimura Celebrate 40-Year Partnership
Since 1978 Yoshimura has become the all-time winningest team in MotoAmerica AMA Superbike History
CHINO, CA – March 26, 2018 – (Motor Sports Newswire) – The 2018 racing season will not only see Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing team back on track to defend its MotoAmerica Superbike Championship, it also marks the 40th anniversary of one of the most successful partnerships in the history of the sport.
In 1978, Suzuki and Yoshimura formed a formal partnership making the Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing squad the official factory entry in AMA Pro Road Racing. It proved to be an incredibly fruitful alliance. In 40 years of racing, Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing has become the most successful team ever in MotoAmerica AMA Superbike.
Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing boasts 14 MotoAmerica AMA Superbike Championships and a total of 189 wins. That helped give Suzuki both the all-time record for MotoAmerica AMA Superbike Championships and series wins by a manufacturer.
In addition to the premier Superbike class, Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing has also won numerous support class championships.
Marking the 40th anniversary of Yoshimura and Suzuki, the team will showcase a bold, all new racebike livery and there will be a series of commemorations during the 2018 MotoAmerica Championship season.
"Motorcycle racing is a forward-looking sport, but it's nice to stop for a moment and reflect on the major accomplishments Suzuki and Yoshimura have achieved over the years," said Kerry Graeber, Suzuki's Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "It's wonderful to look back and realize how many great riders have ridden under the Yoshimura Suzuki banner. From Wes Cooley, to Kevin Schwantz, Doug Polen, Jamie James, Scott Russell, Mat Mladin, Ben Spies, Toni Elias, Roger Hayden, and so many more. The team has built an amazing legacy and we want to honor that relationship that began 40 years ago."
The success of the team actually pre-dates the formal agreement the two companies made in 1978. The year before Steve McLaughlin raced a Yoshimura Suzuki GS750-based Superbike to victory at the Laguna Seca Raceway round of the 1977 AMA Superbike Championship. It marked the first win by Suzuki in AMA Superbike and proved to be the seed that blossomed into a partnership that was formalized in 1978.
Wes Cooley became the first Yoshimura Suzuki AMA Superbike Champion in 1979. He defended that title in 1980. Cooley relished the time he had with the team and the close relationship he had with team founder Hideo "Pops" Yoshimura.
"I always wanted to give my all when I rode for Pops, because he gave his all for me and the team," Cooley said. "The iconic image I have in my mind is Pops grinding on a cam, looking to get every last ounce of power out of the motors he built. Pops set the tone for his company and it's good to see those who followed in his footsteps carried on that tradition of hard work and craftsmanship."
Jamie James, Mat Mladin, Ben Spies and Toni Elias followed in Cooley's footsteps to become MotoAmerica AMA Superbike Champions while riding with Yoshimura Suzuki.
"We are fortunate to have such a great partnership with Suzuki," said Yoshimura's Don Sakakura, President of Yoshimura Racing. "Dating back to the days of the GS750 and GS1000 and through to today's legendary GSX-R line of sportbikes, Suzuki has always provided us top-notch motorcycles to take to the race track."
Yoshimura Suzuki is coming off another record-setting season. The newly-designed Suzuki GSX-R1000 enjoyed a stunning debut season. The team simply dominated the 2017 MotoAmerica Superbike Championship winning 13 of the 20 rounds and finishing first and second in the championship with riders Toni Elias and Roger Hayden.
The team is preparing its title defense and the 40th Anniversary of Yoshimura Suzuki. The season opens at Road Atlanta in Braselton, Georgia, on April 13-15.

NBA and WNBA Teams Come Together to Host Fourth Installment of Award-Winning Social Justice Initiative "Team Up for Change"
January 5, 20227:55 AM PST
The Sacramento Kings, in partnership with the Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, Indiana Pacers and Fever, Dallas Mavericks and Wings, Cleveland Cavaliers, Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic, LA Clippers and San Antonio Spurs will host the fourth installment of "Team Up for Change" to unite, inspire and activate around a shared commitment and call for racial equality and social justice. Through interactive and educational programming, the thirteen teams will focus on building with their respective communities and highlight the experience of young people through various programmatic elements that lift their voices.
"I am really proud of our collective efforts and our continued commitment to lift up our young Black leaders and invest in transformative and sustainable change," said Sacramento Kings Owner and Chairman Vivek Ranadivé. "Through Team Up for Change we are working to provide the support and create an onramp for all youth to succeed, allowing young people to control their own narrative."
"The Milwaukee Bucks are deeply committed to generating impactful change in our communities by empowering and championing our youth," said Milwaukee Bucks and Fiserv Forum President Peter Feigin. "We are honored to continue our Team Up for Change partnership to advocate for transformational change in the fight for social, racial, and economic equity alongside many NBA and WNBA teams."
This multi-faceted initiative has evolved to include The Huddle, an intimate conversation with a young person and NBA or WNBA player or coach and Week of Action (January 17-22) featuring community activations across the country in each team's market.
"The evolution and impact of Team Up for Change speaks to the collective power our platforms hold," said Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx CEO Ethan Casson. "It is an honor to work with so many organizations who are committed to racial equity, lifting up our communities, and inspiring tomorrow's leaders. We look forward to this year's programming from The Huddle to the Week of Action."
"We are proud of the work we have done in Indiana to engage in our community and invest with greater intentionality to champion social justice and equality, and we are grateful for the steps the NBA has taken to support all teams in these efforts," said Pacers Sports & Entertainment President and Chief Operating Officer Rick Fuson. "We all recognize much work remains to be done, and this year's Team Up for Change partnership once again gives us the opportunity to learn from each other as our work evolves."
The Huddle will feature an intimate experience using the game of basketball to connect through conversation and raise awareness around the need for continued and sustained action. Teams will host a unique, one-of-a-kind dialogue with a player or coach and a local young person (age 13 to 21) to discuss their vision and desires for the future, sharing their sense of purpose personally and within their community and their concerns and priorities in achieving social and racial equity. The Huddle will be shared on via the team's social channels throughout the season. Teams will also have the opportunity to host a local community viewing event to bring together high school and college-aged students, youth advocates and community leaders to watch The Huddle and facilitate a discussion around themes and work being done in the region
During the Week of Action, teams will deepen connections with their communities by hosting micro-events for youth that spur dynamic conversations and promote healing with an emphasis on mentorship, career exploration, leadership training and advancing pathways to substantial economic mobility for future generations. These activations will take place in Sacramento, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Indianapolis, Dallas, Cleveland, Salt Lake City, Orlando, Los Angeles and San Antonio in partnership with community organizations and local leaders.
"The Dallas Wings are proud of our efforts and take great pride in raising awareness surrounding racial equality, social justice and providing vital educational programming to shine a light on this topic, as today's young people continue to make a difference in this country and beyond," said Dallas Wings President and CEO Greg Bibb. "We realize the work is just beginning and our team is fully committed to our local community and nationwide initiatives that will continue to push boundaries in order to combat systemic racism and social inequalities. It is our honor to work alongside these other first-class organizations and Team Up for Change to make long-lasting, impactful changes in the communities we call home."
"We are proud to 'team up' once again with other NBA and WNBA teams to provide another platform for our community to engage in critical social justice conversations and education," said Cleveland Cavaliers and Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse CEO Len Komoroski. "We remain persistent in our efforts to utilize our resources to help create awareness around these important topics and drive racial equality in our community, as well as across the country. We are honored to "Team Up for Change" and stand with our NBA family to amplify the voices of those in need."
"The Utah Jazz are excited to join with other franchises to Team Up for Change," said Utah Jazz President Jim Olson. "This shared commitment among NBA and WNBA teams will benefit youth in our communities and our collective efforts in diversity, equity, and inclusion will make us stronger and better organizations."
"The Orlando Magic look forward to working with our fellow NBA and WNBA teams to bring a voice to these issues," said Orlando Magic Chief Executive Officer Alex Martins. "As our organization works towards making change in the realm of social justice and equality, we know it will take a team effort to raise awareness and bring a platform to those impacted. We are honored to join in the Team Up for Change efforts and be a small part of facilitating the conversation towards transformative social change."
"Our platforms and united voices are powerful pathways to raise awareness and drive action to impact meaningful change, especially around racial and social justice issues in our communities," said LA Clippers Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer and Vice President of Community Relations and Player Programs Denise Booth. "We're proud to join our colleagues to amplify the importance of equity and reform through the Team Up for Change social justice initiative.""Spurs Sports & Entertainment is committed to creating, amplifying and championing meaningful and generational impact in the communities where we live, learn, work and play," said Spurs Sports and Entertainment Chief Impact Officer Dr. Kara Allen. "We are honored to partner with Team Up for Change and our NBA family to accomplish our shared goals of showing up for racial equality and social justice."
In solidarity with communities nationwide, the goal of Team Up for Change is to shine a spotlight on local and national movement builders, faith-based leaders, young innovators and trusted experts while lifting up voices for future engagement, and hearing from team leadership on franchise commitments, all with a focus on the intersection between sports, race and the pursuit of more equitable communities. Programming will be designed to provide insight into social justice reform, strategies to combat systemic racism and showcase voices driving sustainable change.
Team Up for Change, which was first held in Sacramento in 2019, was started by the Kings in partnership with the Bucks and was born from each team's encounter with injustice. In March 2018, the Sacramento community was rocked by the killing of Stephon Clark, an unarmed black man, by police. Kings Owner and Chairman Vivek Ranadivé heard the cries for action, took to the court and made a commitment that the Kings, who strongly believe in the power of sports to bring people together, would work alongside the community to help prevent future tragedies.
In May 2018, the Bucks expressed steadfast support for guard Sterling Brown, who was tased and arrested in relation to a parking violation. The franchise committed to work with local leaders and organizations to foster safe neighborhoods and better the community.
In February 2020, the two teams once again partnered and hosted the second Team Up for Change in Milwaukee. The NBA recognized the Bucks and Kings for their Team Up for Change initiative by honoring the teams with the 2020 NBA Inclusion Innovation Award. The award recognizes a specific innovative program across the league that advances inclusive practices.
In October 2020, the Kings, in partnership with the Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx, Indiana Pacers and Fever, Dallas Mavericks and Wings, and Cleveland Cavaliers hosted the third "Team Up for Change" virtually.

Coming from an engineering background, the portals of IIT Bombay has always been much revered for me. Not only does being here give me great fulfillment, I am also excited about starting B-school. Like a lot of engineers in the country, I felt the need to go beyond my profession. I wanted a chance to rediscover myself and follow my passion. So I ended up here at Bombay, with many dreams and a lot of hope. I believe that I "find myself" by the time I leave campus!! The wait got over when I boarded the train in Delhi bound for Mumbai. The well-known Mumbai showers made an unexpected appearance to give me one grand welcome! I arrived at the hostel completely drenched. My luggage was all wet. I was smiling though. I had left hostel life two years in the past and I was now back. That called for a celebration and kept my spirits high.
What followed was a weeklong orientation programme. The entire week was a great experience and there were several memorable moments that I would probably remember for a long time. We had numerous interactions with the alumni. We got acquainted with alumnus Mr Reapan Tikoo from Powai Labs. I specifically remember this interaction because he used the term "sab bhagya hai" in an imposing manner whenever he was asked about making decisions and solving dilemmas on entrepreneurship. We also participated in a group activity called "Treasure Hunt". Considering the size of the campus, it was truly a hectic event. We were awestruck by expanse of the infrastructure the school has to offer. IIT Bombay boasts of world class amenities. The seniors however told us that the students from School of Management never get to use them. They had come to the campus with the same enthusiasm but, between assignments, they never got time to even peek into these amenities.
We started our classes soon after. I did not realize when sleepless nights and endless discussions over competitions became part of our lifestyle. It was one competition or the other every day. I had literally woken up at 8am and somehow managed to reach the class before the teacher got to throw me out at 8:30. We discussed classes, competitions and the cultural night. In just a week, I was a part of a batch that is "getting their hands dirty" in every possible field. There was a lot of energy and vigour around. I read this outside a church once - Make God laugh. Tell him your plans. Much of what we plan does not come to pass; things follow and become more chaotic by the day, but they also make life more interesting. My life at SOM had started off the same way. I had learnt the sheer truth in all the gyaan about sleepless nights and endless assignments. Above all I know this will be a thoroughly enjoyable experience here and I am going to make the most out of it.
