THE PARIS AGREEMENT - The Perfect Scam? - Presentation by Dr. Shiva Exposing the Paris Accords as a Financial Scheme
It's been proven that most if not all institutions today can be vulnerable to political manipulation and financial corruption. Though the majority of personnel working in any given industry or institution may be good well-wishing people, various corrupt influences can still compromise the upper echelons of these organizations causing untold numbers of problems. And even though we would like to assume that the institutions of science and medicine are immune to such potential corruption, the hard truth is that more often than not, these areas of study are often the first to fall to corporate corruption.
It has been well established that the various fields of science have often been compromised for the sake of corporate gain. Just as in any business, whenever there is significant profit to be made from any scientific study, there is typically some corporate influence ready to fund that study for selfish advantage.
It has been proven several times that corporations such as Monsanto, Merck, and other interests from Big Ag and Big Pharma have manipulated scientific records and data in order to profit off of various studies. When we see from the evidence and court cases that exposed these companies as corrupters of science, it becomes easier to understand the likelihood that the recent buzz about human-created climate change may have been compromised as well.

As we learn from the following video, there are actually several very large corporations that have insurmountable profits to gain if the controversial Paris Agreement is put into effect. It's also important to remember, that according to sources, this agreement holds no obligation over any of these companies to stop or even slow their polluting practices.
With that, here is an eye-opening presentation by author, lecturer, and award-winning inventor, Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai.

When any corporation hangs their word on the assumed integrity of scientific data, the media (and subsequentially, the public) typically takes the information at face value. On top of this, the average individual usually attempts to avoid reading and learning for themselves, and often believes everything they hear from what they assume are objective scientific sources. Consequently, any corporation could tell the public anything they wanted, and the general public would have no idea whether or not they were being lied to.
In today's world, large corporations employ their own internal scientific (research and development) departments. These internal scientists are paid by these organizations to produce results that are advantageous not to science itself, but to the advantage of company profits. In other words, these scientists are paid to maintain the reputation of the company they work for. When we realize this situation and that most of the products we buy were developed by compromised science and bias standards of health and safety, we may realize that such science is not as trust-worthy as we may have first assumed.

Consequently, when we look at international business proposals such as the so-called Paris Agreement, we may realize that there is more to this agreement than any mainstream media source is willing to reveal. This means that the climatological studies upon which this business agreement is based have just as much potential for being manipulated as the other compromised studies we've discussed. Because of this high potential for distortion and bias, I would encourage everyone to read the Paris Agreement thoroughly and to understand what the true motivation behind this agreement might be.

When we see the potential for monetary gain for excessively wealthy corporations and combine this with the fact that several Democratic representatives are personally invested in these same countries/companies, we may realize why there is such a strong push among certain monetary interests for the U.S. to sign the Paris Accords.
The below article is the one referenced in Dr. Shiva's presentation. The discussion within this article is extremely telling with regard to the level of distortion and compromised integrity that has converted the institution of science into little more than a soapbox for corporate profiteers.

Fourteen Is the New Fifteen!
According to the leaders of the global warming doomsday cult, the average surface temperature of Earth is 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit), but this is a new value which has quietly replaced the original average of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit).
In March 1988, a few months before NASA's James Hansen asserted before the Congress that global warming was in progress, the New York Times quoted him as saying that he used 59 degrees Fahrenheit as the average global temperature to calculate the temperature variations.
Teflon Found to Be Far More Toxic than Government Initially Admitted; Agencies Actively Withheld Evidence and Avoided Thorough Study of Health Risks
One of the scientists, Dr. James E. Hansen of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Institute for Space Studies in Manhattan, said he used the 30-year period 1950-1980, when the average global temperature was 59 degrees Fahrenheit, as a base to determine temperature variations.
In July of the same year, a report in the Connecticut-based newspaper The Day was consistent with this claim. According to the Day's report on Hansen's congressional testimony:
Dr. Hansen informed the lawmakers that the first five months of 1988 were the hottest five-month period on record, averaging four-tenths of a degree above a 30-year (1950-1980) norm of 59 degrees Fahrenheit.
Although Hansen's recent publications provide his version of the differences from the base temperature for various years, he is careful enough not to provide either the observed temperatures or the value of the baseline temperature. However, Hansen at one time revealed his base value in an academic publication. That paper, "Climate Impact of Increasing Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide," appeared in Science in August 1981 and states:
The mean surface temperature is Ts ~ 288 K.
Two hundred and eighty-eight K, or 288 Kelvin, is the same as 15 degrees Celsius. A report in the Schenectady-based Daily Gazette indicates that Hansen and his colleague Helene Wilson used this value at least as late as 1992. Thus, Hansen consistently used 15 degrees Celsius as the baseline average for several years.
James Hansen was not the only person to use this value. When the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which was set up soon after Hansen's 1988 testimony before the Congress, came out with its First Assessment Report in 1990, a table on page xxxvii of the report listed the "Observed Surface Temperature" of Earth as 15 degrees Celsius.
Yet another person who used 15 degrees Celsius as the global average temperature was Anthony J. McMichael, an activist professor whose e-mail promising to pull strings in the Australian government figured in the Climategate scandal. According to McMichael's 1993 book, Planetary Overload: Global Environmental Change and the Health of the Human Species:
Average temperature over past 10,000 years = 15°C
As it turned out, the average temperature of 15 degrees Celsius was an inconvenient value that did not support the allegations of global warming.
COVER-UP REVEALED - Monsanto 'Bullied Scientists' and Hid Weedkiller Cancer Risk, According to Records
In 1996, Michael Mann (who shot to fame during the Climategate scandal as the creator of "Mike's Nature trick" to "hide the decline") co-authored a paper titled "Greenhouse Warming and changes in the seasonal cycle of temperature: Model versus observations." The paper pointed out that the predictions made by climate models were not consistent with observed data and the variability in temperature likely resulted from natural phenomena.
... the signature of greenhouse warming is scarcely evident in the observational data[.] ... It is possible that observed trends in phase, largely influenced by mid-latitude continental interiors, do not arise from greenhouse warming, but rather from natural variability. Such a notion is reinforced by the fact that marginally-significant trends are found in the control GFDL annual cycle, presumably due to organized century-scale internal variability.
If, on the other hand, the observed variation in the seasonal cycle truly represents a "fingerprint" of greenhouse warming, the GFDL and CCM1 models do not appear capable of capturing the detailed responses of the seasonal cycle to greenhouse forcing.
Discrepancies between the observed and model-predicted trends must be resolved before a compelling connection can be drawn between 20th century changes in the behavior of the annual cycle in temperature, and anthropogenic forcing of the climate.
Significantly, Mann used 15 degrees Celsius as the baseline temperature while calculating the parameters of the annual temperature cycle (see Figure 2 in his paper). Although he could have picked any value in the cycle, he picked 15 degrees Celsius, and it is reasonable to assume that he did so because it was the accepted long-term global average temperature.
Not long after Mann's paper was published, the Worldwatch Institute, an organization based in Washington, D.C., came out with the 1997 edition of Vital Signs, its annual publication. The publication had a chapter with the title "Global Temperature Down Slightly."
In literature published after the 1997 report by Worldwatch Institute, the leaders of the global warming movement seem to have started using 14 degrees Celsius for the global average temperature. In 2002, the Sydney Morning Herald quoted James Hansen, who mentioned this new average.
This year the Earth's average temperature was 14.64C, compared with the long-term average of 14C, said James Hansen, of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who analyses the data collected from thousands of weather stations around the world.
The IPCC too now uses 14 degrees Celsius as its base temperature, as can be seen from a graph that is part of its 2007 document. (As an aside, it was in 2007 that IPCC won the Nobel Peace Prize. IPCC certainly deserved a Nobel Prize, but it should have been for literature, as the organization had excelled in writing fantasy.)
More recently, a 2011 report by the Government Accountability Office attributes an estimated average surface air temperature of 287 K, or 14 degrees Celsius, to James Hansen and his colleagues.
But Hansen and colleagues have estimated that Earth's actual average surface air temperature between 1951 and 1980 was approximately 287 K (14 degrees Celsius) (Hansen et al. 2010).
It is hard to pinpoint the exact date when the change from 15 degrees to 14 degrees was introduced. It most likely happened sometime in 1997, and definitely no later than January of 1998.
The 1998 edition of the annual publication of Worldwatch Institute uses 14 degrees Celsius as the global average temperature and provides details of how it was informed of the change from 15 degrees Celsius. On page 69 of the report, a footnote below the table listing the global average temperatures for several years states:

Q: Codeigniter - how to reuse code to generate a block of HTML I think I might be approaching this in the wrong way, so I would appreciate any comments/guidance. Hopefully I can explain coherently enough what I am trying to achieve:

*

*I want to create a block of HTML
(e.g. a box containing a user's
profile), which I will load as part
of my layout on most pages that I
generate.

*I would also like to be able to
re-generate the content within this
box on its own from a separate URL. This is so I can update the box with an AJAX call.

*I don't want to duplicate the code
that creates this HTML.
I appreciate that I could initally load this box using an AJAX call, but that would seem to me to add an unnecessary call to the server?
The way I thought I could do it is by having a method in my controller that just renders this block of HTML, but how would I then request the output from this method within another controller / view?
How would you approach this?
Thanks in advance

A: Create a view to generate the block of HTML for the user's profile and call it from your controller using:
$user_html = $this->load->view('user_view', $user_data, true);

The third parameter returns the view as a string instead of displaying it. This can then be passed into another view in the usual way.
$data['user_block'] = $user_html;
$this->load->view('page_view', $data);

A: As far as data is concerned, you dont 'need' to generate the HTML with PHP. You can use jQuery to generate the necessary elements from a JSON object output in the page source. You can then show a nice little 'loading' animation on the element whilst it gets around to hitting a state of 'domready'.
As far as repopulating a div is concerned, do the following:
Make a div for your profile and give it an id.
Put each 'element' of data into it's own p element and wrap the actual data in a span element.
e.g

Name: Joe Bloggs

Then simply use jQuery to traverse the dom and repopulate the spans with data. Just make sure you output your data in the correct 'order'.
Any questions, feel free to feedback.

By and large, the rules of the road are relatively straightforward. With an eye towards protecting oneself and fellow citizens, we rely on our fellow drivers to adhere to those regulations because it seems like most accidents could be avoided if the traffic safety laws were followed.
However, fatalities resulting from a lack of caution behind the wheel continue to increase at alarming rates. As of September 15, Troop D of the Louisiana State Troopers has investigated 17 crashes resulting in 19 deaths in 2022, including a recent accident which occurred when the driver of a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado drove on the wrong side of the road.
In the early hours of the morning on September 15, 23-year-old Kami Angelle Manuel was heading east on Interstate 10. A few miles ahead of her, a 2015 Ram pickup truck was also headed in that same direction. For reasons that are unknown at this time, Manuel began heading west on the eastbound lane, causing her vehicle to collide with the pickup truck. Sadly, Manuel was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the pickup truck, whose identity has not been released, sustained serious injuries and was transported to a local hospital.
Both drivers were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash, which is always encouraged by law enforcement. Toxicology samples of both drivers were obtained and will be examined to determine if substance abuse played a role in the tragic events that took place last week.
Death in the motor vehicle space can be emotionally, mentally and physically difficult to overcome, but The Johnson Firm can be reached at (337) 433-1414 if you or someone you know was wrongfully struck on the road.

THE LAZY MAN'S GUIDE TO ENLIGHTENMENT
New, Updated and Revised Edition
The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment by Thaddeus Golas - A Young Person's Guide to Enlightenment Edition - Revised and Updated by the author.
From the (Young Person's Guide to Enlightenment Edition) Revised Chapters:
In the first chapter, I proposed that space PROPELS energy and mass: the greater the contraction and resistance of an entity, the more it is propelled.
Now, in which direction will a mass entity be propelled?
It will be propelled in the direction of other mass entities: the bigger the blob of matter, the larger the gathering of mass, the greater the propulsion towards it.
Because that large contracted mass is not pushing back, it is not pushing outward enough—there is less space there. Thus we may view gravity, not as a pull, but as an acceleration toward other matter. This would be supported by the equivalence of the formulas for acceleration and gravity. (This speculation can be taken into the Big Bang and out again.)
What has all this to do with the spirit?
What this means for us is that any of us, as a unique entity, may leave this earthly mass simply by changing function. Nothing is pulling us down. When we begin expanding and cease contracting, we automatically cease being propelled toward matter—we are free in permeative space.
I am sure many of my readers have had the experience of popping out into space, in satori or with psychedelics.
Of course you can't take much mental baggage with you at such times, but the next time you're out, try to hold the thought, "I am expanding now."
The Lazy Man's Guide to Enlightenment was often described around San Francisco as "the last book you'll ever need to read about spirituality".
It is a book that proposes to map-out the human spiritual experience, from its modest beginning, to full realization, in simple language that anyone (willing) can understand.
A true self-publishing phenomenon from the early '70s, this book is a precursor to much of our popular Western spiritual literature.
Many have been inspired to write their own version, but somehow, this text towers over most books on the subject. Perhaps the most dizzying quality of Golas's writing style, beyond his humorous and light touch, is his ability to pack several layers of profound meaning in his concise sentences. Meaning you'll be unpacking for years--provided you want to go through your own process of checking and proving. And enough to make the Guide a book that remains a faithful lifetime companion in just about any situation, and crisis.
If ever life came with an owner's manual, this is it.
The book has known several incarnations over a few decades, and Thaddeus Golas had often planned on expanding the text in various ways. He even toyed with the idea of doing a Guide about The Guide, with annotations.
In the end, he settled on writing a few new chapters on topics that he felt he'd missed the first time out:
Free Will, Expand!, two explorations of our relationship to matter, energy and space, and Who's on First?, a treaty on why intellectuals are always baffled by simple action.
Updates and revisions: Thaddeus Golas made revisions to his original text of The Lazy Man s Guide to Enlightenment throughout the 1980s and 1990s. These revisions were intended to help the text survive the extinction of the 1960s jargon. He also clarified many concepts and emphasized the idea that consciousness, even more than love itself, is the key to Enlightenment.
In this revised and updated edition of his original 1972 street pamphlet, Golas added material to The Guide and made over 100 small fixes to his original manuscript.
This final update returns the book to its simple, delicate and subtle "pocket-size" handbook,complete with its favorite mandala design: No fat, no extra chatter - just the facts!
Press Review:
THE LAZY MAN S GUIDE TO ENLIGHTENMENT. The Revised and Updated edition, by Thaddeus Golas, Seed Center Books.
For those on the road still trying to thumb a ride, this book will show you how to make it on your own. There is no other way. Being the lazy man s lazy man, I quickly went to the last pages and back cover to glean the quintessential enlightenment offered in the excerpts. How can I be lazy and accelerate my vibrations to encompass all that wisdom in a flash, you may ask? Chapter 7 answers that If you re the kind of person caught up in sin, asceticism, rejection of earthly enjoyment, or other evidence of strict virtuous discipline, and are still having trouble being enlightened and in joy, this book is for you. It will shatter all your preconceived ideas about spirituality, If what you are doing isn't working...love it and leave it. In other words: let go and let God. The Lazy Man s Guide to Enlightenment lets you know you are already there. So what s the point of arrival? We exist on many levels simultaneously: from a being of concentrated mass (separateness, individuality), through energy being, to space being (oneness). How come, you may ask, most of us are only aware of the densest physical level? The answer is you can t be anywhere else until you love yourself where you are now. After all, it s a world of your own creation. As long as we reject anything we are tied to that one thing. Now that's karma! The only effective way to be free of anything, is to love. Accept yourself where you re at. If you hate or despise something, love yourself for despising or hating it. It s the E=MC2 of the Universe. Be there, then.

Meder Continues In D-Line Rotation In Browns Win
Former Ashland University All-American defensive lineman Jamie Meder may not have had a tackle on Sunday (Dec. 13) afternoon for the Cleveland Browns against the San Francisco 49ers, but he got something more important – a win.
Meder continued to rotate at both nose tackle and defensive end for the Browns during their 24-10 victory over the 49ers at FirstEnergy Stadium. In 13 regular-season games in 2015, Meder has recorded 27 total tackles (15 solo) and a sack.
Meder became the first former Eagle to play in a regular-season game for the Browns in Week 17 of the 2014 season at Baltimore, recording one solo tackle. He originally was an undrafted free agent with the Ravens last year, and spent more than two months on their practice squad before joining Cleveland.
In four 2015 preseason games (one start), Meder finished with 11 total tackles (eight solos), one sack and a forced fumble. According to ProFootballFocus.com, Meder graded out as the Browns' best player in the preseason.
Following in a long line for highly-decorated AU defensive linemen, Meder was a two-time All-American, Ashland's first Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Freshman of the Year (2010), a two-time GLIAC Defensive Lineman of the Year (2012-13) and a four-time All-GLIAC first-teamer.
His collegiate career totals include 247 total tackles (96 solo), 35 tackles for loss, 14 sacks and three forced fumbles.
Meder is the eighth former Eagle to play in an NFL regular-season game.

Nebu is a Blizzard Entertainment employee, responsible for news posts and much of guide info on the official website. His current responsibilities are to add updates to the official website and support web sites for other Blizzard games such as Diablo II, and Warcraft II.
He is also known by his real name GFraizer (Geoff Fraizer) on the Battle.net site.
His personal website is Expect Nothing.
Nebu/GFraizer was the founder of the in-game World of Warcraft guild called Kali Compton . The guild is currently run by Nosmirc, commonly known as Crimson. Nebu is the current leader of the gaming clan which was formed in 1996 and spans multiple games including games outside of Blizzard.
In 2004, shortly after the game's release, there was a large outcry on the official WoW Forums when there was an apparent abuse of privilege by Nebu when one of his characters' identity was revealed, which included seemingly arbitrary bans. Users also pointed out that the guild name Kali Compton clearly violate Blizzard's naming policy, including both a real-world reference, and the name of a Hindu deity.
Over the weekend, a thread was posted on the Tichondrius realm forum warning Horde players of certain guilds and characters they should look out for while adventuring. This thread contained information on a Blizzard employee's guild, and conjecture was made on which character that employee played. This thread was deleted, and all subsequent threads created on this topic were closed. Several other threads containing references to this guild were also deleted, and a few players were wrongly suspended or banned from the forums for participating in these threads. We would like to correct this mistake. If you feel you were wrongly banned or suspended from the forums, please email your character name and the name of the realm you play on to [email protected] Furthermore, please note that we are taking measures to ensure this does not happen again.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this caused and thank you for your understanding and patience.
In addition, as part of our normal name-review process, the aforementioned guild's name was reviewed last week and was found to be in violation of World of Warcraft's naming policy. The name violates the rule dealing with real-world references, and is subject to the same procedure as other guilds. Therefore, the guild will be disbanded and reimbursed for their tabard, and will have to re-form using a different name. Please note that these are two separate issues that have the unfortunate coincidence of requiring attention at the same time.

Q: Adding button next to code in RMarkdown to hide/show code I have created an Rmarkdown file in a Kaggle Kernel and I am trying to do the following:
1) Set some code chunks as hidden but with a button next to them to allow the viewer to hide or display the code
2) Set some other codes chunks as not hidden with again a buttopn next to them to allow the viewer to hide or display the code
From what I could see in previous questions a suggested solution is
---
title: "test"
output:
  html_document:
    code_folding: hide
---

That unfortunately is not working for me. I have also set the following in the start of my script
```{r setup, include=FALSE, echo=FALSE}

knitr::opts_chunk$set(echo= TRUE)

and before each code I have the following:
```{r, message = FALSE, warning=FALSE  }
# Load packages
library("ggplot2")
library("pastecs")
library("dplyr")
library("corrplot")

So my question would be, what should I do to get 1) and 2)?
Thanks in advance.


Fine by me. Manziel doesn't have to utter another word the rest of the season, if that's his choice.
But he should be reminded that, if he wants to become a two-time Heisman Trophy winner, the brunt of the 474 voters who placed him atop their 2012 Heisman ballots were media members. And many of those voters, particularly the ones outside of Texas, would like to hear an explanation from him about the August investigation into allegations that he took money for signing memorabilia in violation of NCAA rules before submitting their 2013 ballots.
Yes, the NCAA probe is over and Manziel has served his half-game suspension that resulted from it. But if that explanation never surfaces, Manziel runs the risk of having a significant number of voters — in a secret ballot, with multiple worthy candidates — find greater fascination with the efforts of Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd, Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater or anyone else who becomes college football's flavor of the month by the end of November.
Maybe Manziel simply is holding his tongue and seeking a motivational edge for Saturday's game against Alabama (2:30 p.m., KTVT/Ch. 11), which most of the country will view as his Heisman title defense. Manziel's brilliance in last year's 29-24 upset of the top-ranked Crimson Tide (345 total yards, 2 TD passes) helped him emerge as the first freshman recipient in Heisman history.
His profile is so large heading into this contest that CBS announced plans to focus one of its cameras specifically on Manziel during the telecast. But Sumlin bristled Tuesday at the JohnnyCam concept, adding that he hopes the idea disappears before Saturday's kickoff.
But a heavy, player-specific focus comes with the territory when your roster includes the reigning Heisman winner. And Manziel, because of Tuesday's absence, left others to fill in the blanks about how well they expect him to hold up under the pressure and scrutiny.
A&M running back Ben Malena predicted Manziel will shine brighter than he did in last year's matchup.
Receiver Malcolme Kennedy said the Aggies benefit from running scramble drills designed to feed off Manziel's ad-lib exploits at every practice and during pregame warmups.
"It's one of the things that's pushed us over the top," Kennedy said.
Without question, the Aggies who spoke Tuesday sounded loose and confident.
A victory Saturday over Alabama, the two-time defending BCS champion, could position A&M to take over the college football universe. But only if Manziel shines.
After beating Sam Houston State, Manziel said the Alabama matchup "feels like another game." By Tuesday, he was no longer talking about the Tide, based on the advice of legal counsel.
We'll learn Saturday what his arms and legs have to say. They'll cast the deciding votes in Kyle Field.


When the little green person knocked on the door the other day, I told him he must have the wrong house. He probably wanted the place down the street, the one that has the weird theme parties.
But he said no, he was from the planet Gortek and he had been sent here to find out what high school football is all about.
I grabbed my coat and we headed south on the Edens.
But at the last second, I turned the car west onto the Eisenhower and we drove over to St. Joseph High School in Westchester. We looked up a man named Joe Niezgoda. He helped start the school`s football program and has been an assistant coach for 20 of the Chargers` 22 seasons.
In all that time, St. Joseph has never had a winning varsity season. Its best record has been 4-5, and lately things have been worse. The Chargers` best mark in the `80s is 2-7, and they are 1-17 over the last two seasons.
We talk to Niezgoda, the team`s defensive coordinator, and hear a litany of horror stories. Like the time Joliet Catholic buried St. Joe 86-0, and the time a Charger kickoff-returner froze when the ball landed at his feet with his team ahead 14-12 and just minutes to play. An opponent fell on it, and St. Joe wound up losing.
Why they keep happening, particularly at a school that is synonymous with championship basketball, is a question Niezgoda says he can`t answer. But he knows it has something to do with playing in the rough East Suburban Catholic Conference with an habitually small roster.
My companion asks Niezgoda why he keeps trying year after year, and he explains that his motivation is no different than his players`.
''I enjoy myself, and the kids enjoy it,'' he said. ''We`ve got some kids who just like to play football.
And now there`s hope things are beginning to turn around. Behind quarterback Kevin McCoy and fullback Damond Rodez, the Chargers are off to their first 2-0 start in years. More importantly, fourth-year head coach Tony Manfre reports progress at the underclass level. Numbers are up, and last year the school won the conference freshman title, the first league football crown in school history. Manfre is even hopeful of beating St. Viator Friday for the first time.
Niezgoda admits that when football started at the school, he never dreamed he`d still be waiting for the first victory over a conference rival or an initial winning record.
We say goodbye, get back in the car and head to the South Side, to St. Martin de Porres High School. There, we find senior tailback Eugene Billings savoring an unfamiliar feeling: victory. Until last Friday`s 32-12 triumph over Hammond Clark, Billings and his classmates had never been able to walk off a high school football field smiling. His freshman team lost every game, and so did the varsity the following two years.
The Silver Eagles` victory over Clark broke a 24-game losing streak. The school actually won a game on a forfeit during that span, but no one associated with the team counts it.
Like St. Joseph, De Porres, which before last year was known as Mendel, suffers from a lack of depth and tough competition. The school hasn`t won a Catholic League game since 1982.
Winning is so foreign at De Porres that the players carried the coaches off the field after the game. Some students who didn`t attend the contest refused to believe the score until it was announced over the public address system Monday. Billings, who ran for 144 yards and three touchdowns, says it even took him two days before the realization sank in.
When his junior year started, Billings, worn down by losing, didn`t even know if he wanted to continue with football. He did at the urging of friends and because he just likes to play.
''I thought maybe I`d like to do something else,'' he says.


This report was prepared by the International Labour Organization (ILO) for the G20 Climate Sustainability Working Group (CSWG) under the Argentina G20 Presidency in 2018. It shows that adaptation measures to climate change, such as investment in adaptation infrastructure can create jobs and protect workers and income. Social protection, enterprise development and skills policy are necessary to maximise the positive effect of the transition to a climate resilient economy.
The world of work is intimately related to the natural environment. Climate change threatens the provision of many of these vital ecosystems services and endangers the jobs that depend on them. The risks and hazards associated with environmental degradation tend to affect vulnerable workers the most.
Adaptation measures can lead to employment gains and prevent job losses. Adaptation infrastructure, including in water conservation, treatment and delivery, and reforestation investment is likely to bring positive employment effects as it increases demand for construction to reduce climate-related risks.
Accompanying and enabling policies to maximise the positive employment effect of the transition to a climate-resilient economy can ensure a just transition. Social protection and skills development policies increase adaptive capacities and protect individuals and communities affected by natural hazards from income and food insecurity.

Report: Steelers Free Agent RB Rashard Mendenhall Likely To Sign With Broncos
By Dave Bryan
Earlier in the day it was reported that Pittsburgh Steelers unrestricted free agent running back Rashard Mendenhall has visits scheduled with the Denver Broncos and the Arizona Cardinals. Pro Football Talk is now reporting that Mendenhall is likely to sign with the Broncos.
The Broncos are possibly looking to move on from running backs Willis McGahee and Knowshon Moreno, and Mendenhall would appear to be a fit for their offensive scheme led by quarterback Peyton Manning.
Mendenhall, who was suspended late last season by the Steelers for one game for conduct detrimental to team, was hampered by an Achilles injury when he had finally recovered from the torn ACL that he suffered in the 2011 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns. His two fumbles against the Browns in Week 12 led to him being demoted and he finished the season with just 51 carries for 182 yards in the 6 games that he dressed for.

The Joe Jonas-led group hits the Hot 100's top 15 and the Pop Songs top 10. Plus, moves for Adele, Coldplay, Maren Morris & Troye Sivan.
As previously reported, Zayn blasts onto the Billboard Hot 100 (dated Feb. 20) at No. 1 with "Pillowtalk," his first solo single after departing One Direction. Plus, Drake enters at No. 6 with "Summer Sixteen" and G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha reach the top 10 with "Me, Myself & I."
Who else makes notable moves on the Hot 100 this week?
The Joe Jonas-led group darts 18-14 on the Hot 100 with its debut single. The confection also reaches a milestone on the Pop Songs radio airplay chart, where it hits the top 10 (11-10). "It's been a six-month process of introducing the DNCE brand," says Republic Group president Charlie Walk.
The airplay achievement follows the quartet's cameo, as Johnny Casino and The Gamblers, in Fox's Grease: Live (Jan. 31), which included a 1950s-styled version of "Cake."
The song holds at No. 29 on the Hot 100 and reaches the Radio Songs top 10, jumping 14-10 with a 5 percent lift to 69 million all-format impressions, according to Nielsen Music. Adele scores her sixth top 10 on the tally, with four having ascended to No. 1; previous single "Hello" became her longest-leading No. 1 on Radio Songs (11 weeks). Meanwhile, both songs' parent album 25 has passed 8 million in U.S. sales.
Coldplay, "Adventure of a Lifetime"
The song hits a new Hot 100 high, rising 45-36 (besting its prior No. 39 peak), but it should make an even more substantial climb on next week's chart following the group's performance of it as part of the Pepsi Super Bowl 50 Halftime Show (Feb. 7). The song also becomes Coldplay's third No. 1 on the Alternative Songs airplay chart.
Coldplay additionally debuts at No. 68 on the Hot 100 with "Hymn for the Weeknd."
Is Maren Morris Nashville's Next Breakout Pop Star?
The newcomer soars 91-71 in her second week on the Hot 100 with her breakthrough hit. The track climbs 17-13 on Hot Country Songs, boosted by its 8-6 rise on Country Digital Songs (23,000 downloads sold, up 28 percent ) and its 21-19 push on Country Airplay (18 million in audience, up 21 percent).
Says Morris of her sound, which mixes of traditional country with a modern flair, "With streaming services, the walls have come down a bit on genres. So, I never really set out to make a country record or a pop record. I just wanted to make it mine. And, this may seem self-indulgent, but I've been rocking out to the mixes in my car."
With the debut of "Youth" at No. 85, Sivan (up to 4 million YouTube subscribers) tops the peak of his sole prior Hot 100 entry, "Happy Little Pill" (No. 92, 2014). "Youth" also bounds 37-30 on Pop Songs, up by 26 percent in plays.

The beginnings of George Ryan's historic trip to Cuba -- where he was the first sitting U.S. governor to meet with Cuban dictator Fidel Castro -- can be traced back to a private conversation one rainy night with two men in the back of a van.
When making his bid for the governor's office in 1998, Ryan, a Republican from Kankakee, was asked for election help from Democratic state Rep. Edgar Lopez, who was in a tough re-election fight in his Chicago district.
"I went down to his district one night and he brought a fellow, (lobbyist) Charlie Serrano, and said, 'We have to talk in private.' We got into a van, and they asked me: 'If you win, would you be interested in going to Cuba?'" Ryan told the Daily Herald Sunday.
Lopez and Serrano both had connections to the Cuban community, and Lopez's district had a number of Cubans in it.
"I'd never given that a thought before," Ryan said. "I finally said, sure, I guess I would."
Seventeen years later, after news broke that Castro died Friday night at the age of 90, Ryan says he has been flooded with memories of the trip he calls one of the highlights of his governorship from 1999 to 2003. They include Ryan interrupting the characteristically long-winded dictator several times at a lengthy dinner, and Castro insisting Ryan return home with a Cuban child in tow.
After Ryan and Lopez were each victorious in November 1998, the wheels were quickly set in motion for a five-day trip to take place the next October.
Both houses of the General Assembly passed a resolution calling for the U.S. to lift its trade embargo against Cuba, making Illinois the only state in the country to have done so, according to Ryan.
Although there had been no formal talks between the U.S. and Cuba since 1961, when President Dwight Eisenhower severed diplomatic relations after Castro signed a trade treaty with the Soviet Union, Ryan says he hosted a Cuban "representative" at a state dinner in Springfield shortly after his inauguration. He was then invited to visit Cuba.
Ryan, a pharmacist by trade, considered the visit a humanitarian mission. He said he "put together a package of pharmaceuticals and drugs the people needed, Jewish menorahs and things the Jewish community needed, some things from the Archdiocese of Chicago," as well as school supplies for the trip.
"They're very big on Abraham Lincoln in Cuba," Ryan added.
Along with Ryan, the 45-member delegation included House Speaker Michael Madigan, House Minority Leader Lee Daniels, Senate Minority Leader Emil Jones, Lopez and Serrano.
Ryan describes lengthy meetings and dinners with Castro where "he never stopped talking. I had to interrupt him on several occasions."
Ryan said he got along well with Castro. "But I never forgot where he came from. He took a lot of lives and he was a pretty brutal guy."
Because Ryan's trip was so historic, lawmakers, religious leaders and business executives asked him to look into a host of things on his trip that "only Castro would respond to."
One, he said, was from a Baptist church in North Carolina, which was concerned about the medical care of a young Cuban boy who had fallen from a second-story window while church members were on a mission to the island nation.
"During my meeting with Castro -- we met for like six hours -- I brought that up. He said the kid was getting excellent care, but you can take him home with you if you want."
Ryan said he delayed the delegation's departure from Cuba in order to have the director of Illinois' department of public health inspect the boy, who was brought to the airport.
"It was determined that the child was in fact getting very good care, and it would be a mistake to bring him with us. So we left him there, but Castro was almost insistent we take the boy," Ryan said.
Ryan describes the experience as a "wonderful trip. I had a great sense of pride that I did it and hoped it would improve the lifestyle of the Cuban people."
Ryan returned to Cuba once more in 2002 as part of a diplomatic mission with several pharmaceutical companies from Illinois. The trip came months after Ryan announced he would not seek a second term as governor, amid a growing scandal that would eventually lead to his imprisonment on corruption charges.
In the wake of Castro's death, Ryan says the U.S. should move quickly to make Cuba a U.S. state or territory.
"We ought to do it diplomatically. They're 90 miles off our shore. It would eliminate a lot of problems and it would certainly be a great humanitarian program," he said.

On the front lines of the Blood War, Devils sought to make use of Goblins as front-line cannon fodder in their war against the Demons. The Goblins prodigious ability to reproduce in large numbers made them a potential weapon to use against the hoards of the Abyss; an unending supply of Goblin shock troops to soften up the unending tide of Demons. Countless Goblins were spirited away by Devils and altered to be better infernal minions, becoming Alu-Goblins.

Search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc.) strive to offer the most relevant results to their users, no matter the complexity of their search words, from simple queries such as "Best home theater" to some complicated ones like "what is the best smart home integrator in my area?" There are certain factors that can and will influence these results and the following items in this list will help you achieve relevancy.
One of the most important elements to stay relevant and atop Search Engines' results is to publish quality content that stays in the interest of both potential and current clients. Helpful articles, videos and other types of media created for actual human beings and not merely for an algorithm.

I think this might be the post of the year thus far.
Demographically, Democrats rely on being the party of the upper sixth and the lower third, while Republicans tend to do better with everyone in between.
Also the upper sixth and lower third of the bellcurve of IQ…..which has now become more like the upper third and lower third….leaving the republicans with the sparse 28 to 33% clustered aroung mean IQ.
One would think that a post of the year wouldn't contain baseless assertions and blatant falsehoods.
you are daydreaming son, all the past reoric our party has used must be abolished in the future. take away all whine, cheese, and crakers what do you have left?

A 5ft 2ins tall magenta robot, equipped with sensors and cameras, will guide visitors through exhibitions at a Lincoln museum from today. For more information see the IDTechEx report on Mobile Robots and Drones in Material Handling and Logistics 2018-2038.
Programmed by robotics experts from the University of Lincoln, Lindsey will be giving tours at The Collection, which is run by Lincolnshire County Council, for the next three years.
She will find the best routes around the museum, pausing at exhibits to offer facts and take basic questions from visitors. Her functionality will develop autonomously over the three years as she learns new behaviours and trends from the people she interacts with.
Lindsey is the latest in a family of robots developed by the Lincoln Centre for Autonomous Systems, with others working in warehouses, on farms, and care homes. The robot employs the latest Artificial Intelligence and robotics technologies, advanced in research projects by the researchers at the University's School of Computer Science. They have programmed the robot to be able to navigate the museum on its own and recharge itself, accounting for potential obstacles such as people, exhibits and bags left on the floor, while learning from interactions to develop a better understanding of what visitors are interested in.
These advances are part of the wider project to develop robots which can operate autonomously around humans, and build upon outcomes of the collaborative EU-funded £7.2 million STRANDS project* which created the technologies for mobile robots that are able to operate independently. The project is the beginning of a long-term partnership between Lincolnshire County Council and the University of Lincoln, to advance robotics technology to support education of the public and allow them to engage with the latest digital advances.
Professor of Intelligent Robotics & Interactive Systems, Marc Hanheide, who is leading the project commented: "Despite all the progress in robotics research in the past years, taking a robot out of the lab and 'into the wild' of public space like 'The Collection' museum is still a most challenging endeavour. Lindsey will operate entirely autonomously and navigate the gallery on its own. We hope to learn a lot about the requirements for robots engaging with the public and the specific ways visitors are interacting with the robot. I helps us tremendously to further develop the long-term autonomy and adaptation of our AI-enabled robots."
James Sharples, Business Transformation Manager at Lincolnshire County Council said of the project: "The Collection Museum is excited to be involved in this long term project with Lincoln University. Combining history and technology Lindsey will add a unique experience for people of all ages visiting the site, making learning about the past more engaging and interactive."


On 10 August 2017 - 12 August 2017 Bandung Karate Club (BKC) will held an event called 3rd International BKC Open Karate Championship.
This championship is open to all college, club and karate institution members.
In Indonesia, the participants must be from FORKI (Indonesia Karate Federation), and participants from neighboring countries are welcomed to take part, such as karate clubs from Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Thailand, India and others.

Back in October, stores around the nation sneakily started displaying Christmas decor. By November, our ears bled with the sound of "Here comes Santa Claus" and now that it's December we all know what's right around the corner. My neighbors have a light show that includes a daily countdown down to the very last second for Christmas.
Whether you say "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" or something else entirely (or nothing at all) doesn't matter to me. There's a lot about this particular holiday I think we get wrong but the idea to be generous and kind to your fellow human being is an idea I can get behind. I'm not going to go into a tirade of how we celebrate the holidays and how my way is the best way (there are already a lot of blogs out there that cover this) because I don't know if it's the best way and honestly, we're still figuring it out.
Discussing how we celebrate and what traditions we have as a family (think minimal) isn't something I'm interested in. Today I want to tell a true short story that shaped the way I saw this time of year since it happened. It's actually shaped many of my interactions with strangers over the years and I believe it helps when I teach a yoga class.
When I was 17 I worked in a popular retail store and got a base hourly pay and commission. The hourly pay was a joke but the commission more than made up for it. I was good at selling expensive jeans. I was damn good at it. For a teenager, my checks were stacked! The holiday season rolled around and was a time to make pretty big bucks. Sales associates were supposed to greet every customer that walked in. The goal was to help them find what they needed… and then upsale to them when possible. You know, make them feel important so they want to return.
One Saturday in December, a woman walks in carrying a few bags and I'm the first to greet her. She's wearing a big diamond ring, has that put together look many strive for, and just looks classy. She is instantly one of my favorite customers of the day because of how nice she is. She responds back kindly and right away tells me that she is shopping for her daughter, who she tells me looks about my size and age. She even tells me she wears clothes like I'm wearing at the time. Easy, I think.
We start shopping. And y'all. I mean shopping. She is having me assemble outfits and she is liking it all. We soon start a pile near the register. I'm thinking about how huge this sale is going to be and am excited. My manager looks over at me and smiles and mouths "good job." We continue shopping around. I'm helping her and maybe 2 or 3 other customers (we were packed!). However, a lot of my attention was on her because she wanted my opinion on everything.
As we were looking at sweaters, I start to ask her more questions about her daughter. Basic questions, like 'what does she like to do' and stuff like that. She answers excitedly and seems thrilled to be talking about her daughter. Absolutely thrilled.
And suddenly something changes. The mood shifts. I can feel it but can't explain it. It may not even be discernable to anyone looking our way. I'm pulling a sweater down and as I hand it to the woman, I notice tears in her eyes. "You remind me of her so much." I started to feel really uncomfortable. The store wasn't big but we were in this little pocket that isn't easily seen from other areas in the store. It was an area we often had to watch for shoplifting. I start to wonder if this woman is going to steal me. I'm 17 and dumb y'all.
She mumbles, "I'm so sorry" and as she says this, the tears she was holding back flow freely down her face. And I'm speechless. I have no clue what is happening. She keeps apologizing so I start to say "it's okay" and then she tells me through sobs, "I don't know why I came here. I should not have walked in here. She loved this store. And you remind me of her. She died and I just wanted to get her some things to open for Christmas. She loved Christmas. But she's gone." My eyes tear up. This woman is in so much pain. I no longer see a big sale. I see a mother who lost her child. I still don't know what to say or how to respond so I do what I feel I would want. I hug her. She hugs back. After a short while she let's go and says "I'm so sorry." And rushes out of the store.
I took a break after she walked out. My manager handled the other customers I was helping because I needed a moment. My boss felt bad that I lost a big sale and wasted my time. I didn't see it like that at all. It was the most uncomfortable experience I had at work (at the time) but it taught me something incredible: we need to always be kind because we never know what battle someone is going through. That mother showed me something powerful. Before my encounter with her, I didn't realize that holidays can be painful for people. I didn't realize that people may be experiencing their first holiday without their favorite person. It's a lesson I still carry with me.
So "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays "? Elf on the Shelf? I don't care. Just be kind. Empathetic. And hug someone having a tough time. And perhaps most important, when December ends just remember there isn't an expiration date on being a decent person.

Yenisey () is a bandy club from Krasnoyarsk, Russia.  Yenisey has historically been a very successful club, having won the national championship sixteen times, last in 2021, and the Bandy World Cup in 1982, 1984, 2011 and 2015 and been runners-up in 1983, 1985 and 2000.

After the 2011/12 season, Sergey Lomanov Jr was named the best player of the national championship.

In 2017, former Mayor of Krasnoyarsk, Pyotr Pimashkov, became the new club president.

During the period when Yenisey Stadium was being rebuilt to become an indoor arena, Lokomotiv Stadium was the temporary home arena. In December 2018 the new indoor arena was opened.

Trump HHS Proposes Rule to Allow Federal Funds for Adoption Groups That Oppose LGBT Adopters
By Kharen Martinez Murcia | November 4, 2019 | 3:31pm EST
(YouTube screenshot.)
(CNSNews.com) -- On Nov. 1, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a proposed rule change that would allow faith-based adoption agencies to receive federal funding even though they oppose placing children with same-sex couples. The plan has sparked strong criticism from LGBT activists but was largely applauded by advocates of religious freedom.
"HHS is committed to fully enforcing the civil rights laws passed by Congress," a Nov. 1 HHS press release said. "The proposed rule would better align its grants regulations with federal statutes, eliminating regulatory burden, including the burden on the free exercise of religion. HHS is affirming that it will comply with all applicable Supreme Court decisions in administering its grants programs."
According to CBN News, under the Obama administration the HHS regulations excluded faith-based adoption agencies from federal grants if they chose, under their personal religious grounds, to not process an adoption for a same-sex couple.
However, according to the HHS those regulations "would likely reduce the effectiveness of programs funded by federal grants by reducing the number of entities available to provide services under these programs."
"Some non-Federal entities have expressed concerns that requiring compliance with certain non-statutory requirements … violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act," the HHS Grants Regulation document said.
During the National Prayer Breakfast in February, President Trump said his administration was working "to ensure that faith-based adoption agencies are able to help vulnerable children find their forever families while following their deeply held beliefs."
The conservative nonprofit Family Research Council applauded President Trump and said that, thanks to the proposal by the HHS and the administration, faith-based organizations are "free to care for needy children."
"Under the proposed HHS rule, faith-based adoption providers will no longer have to choose between abandoning their faith or abandoning homeless children because the government disapproves of their views on marriage," an FRC press release said.
But the regulation did not come without criticism. The LGBTQ advocacy nonprofit Family Equality Council condemned the new regulation saying it will "allow Foster Care and adoption discrimination."
"It is outrageous that the Trump administration would mark the start of National Adoption Month by announcing a rule to further limit the pool of loving homes available to America's 440,000 foster children," said Julie Kruse, director of federal policy at Family Equality.
"The American public overwhelmingly opposes allowing taxpayer-funded adoption and foster care agencies to turn away qualified parents simply because they are in a same-sex relationship," said Kruse.
According to the pro-LGBT Washington Blade, "an estimated 440,000 children are currently in the foster care system in the United States, and more than 123,000 kids are now available for adoption."

Three of my withdrawal requests are pending since more than 24 hours. Support isn't answering me anymore. Do not invest in this program.
After more than 2 days the support answered me that my withdrawal limit decreased to 4$ per day.
Another project that stopped paying. It would be very surprising if Gcprofits would deactivate the withdrawal limit.
Gcprofits is working stable. I did two withdrawals during the last two days. Both were fulfilled instantly.
Gcprofits is on the run since 700 days. This is totally amazing for a HYIP.
I registered at Gcprofits.com on 04.26.2017 and transfered a small deposit to test the site.
On 04.28.2017 my balanced showed a profit of 1.27$. I was ready to test if the program pays out.
The withdrawal process via Bitcoin is straight forward. After two clicks the request is finished.
A few seconds later the money is on the blockchain and ready to get confirmed by the network. Gorgeous !
Gcprofits makes a lot of fun. I love programs with fast payment execution.
