No love in Abbott government's tough
Prime Minister Tony Abbott and Treasurer Joe Hockey have taken to describing their budgetary cruelty as an act of "tough love" for which we may well rail against them in the present, but will respect them for in the years ahead, presumably when we can see how their tough love has achieved the goal of all tough love, that is to bring the poor amongst us to their senses and force them to live non-vulnerable, standing-on-their-own-two-feet lives, or die.
Tough love is a phrase usually associated with advice given to parents of drug-addicted offspring: refuse support in order to achieve a drug-free outcome. It demands that one have sufficient strength to withdraw all assistance that might enable the addict to continue on their self-destructive path. It requires the stamina to watch another spiral into an abject desolation and marginalisation that is allegedly entirely his or her own doing, and in which, the theory would have it, the addict will hit their own personal bottom line and in so doing begin the long trip back to sobriety and a decent life. I have no idea if it works or not.
There is no love in the tough Abbott and Hockey are dealing out to the vulnerable who will bear the brunt of their withdrawal of government support. Indeed, it is very telling that Abbott and Hockey appear to equate (with no evidence whatsoever to support their bigoted assumptions) economic vulnerability with anti social addictions, and have set about "curing" the vulnerability by withdrawing already meagre support in the deranged belief that if you make people starve, they will stop being vulnerable. Vulnerability is, in the Abbott and Hockey ideology, a choice, and people must be forced to stop making it by using the harshest possible methods until they hit their bottom line, and wake up one morning enlightened, repentant, and ready to get a job.
This government has no interest in equality. The admirable ethos of the "fair go," so intrinsic to what we fondly think of as our national character, has been mangled beyond recognition in the first few months of the Abbott incumbency. Instead, we have Hockey thundering why should you pay for someone else's education, completely overlooking the fact that someone else paid for his. We contribute to the costs of educating others because it benefits all of us. Educating people gives us the professionals who are absolutely essential to our daily lives and well-being.
Abbott and his government are in the business of installing a new regime of truth, one that is foreign to us, a regime that casts fairness and concern for others in a negative light, a move that is made even more inexplicable by the Christian affiliations of the PM and his Treasurer. The marriage of religion and neo liberalism apparently spawns an extreme of wilful ignorance, and the inevitably cruelty that accompanies the trait.
In his excellent piece in The King's Tribune, Tim Dunlop argues that progressives need to change the current conversation, that there is little to be gained in agitating for a change in LNP leadership, or castigating Abbott, pining for Turnbull or bringing back the ALP in its current configuration. The Australian ALP appears to be in its own downward spiral, following the lead of the UK Labour Party, described by George Monbiot in this Guardian piece as selfishly committed to inequality in its acts of omission, and its commitment to supporting aspects of the obscene Tory attacks on that county's vulnerable.
What progressives must do, Dunlop argues, is work from the premise that we do want a country in which it is possible to offer everyone a fair crack at a decent life, a premise that will lead us in a very different direction from that offered by the LNP. The way in which we might achieve this revolution is by vocalising our resistance to the government's imposition of inequality as a way of life in our country, using protest and withdrawal of labour. Where there is power there is always resistance, as Foucault noted, and the most powerful form of resistance available to citizens in situations such as ours is taking to the streets, as often as we have to, and letting the government know we are not a people who desire the increased suffering of the already vulnerable, rather we are a people who will fight for the fair go.
There is no love in the Abbott government's tough. Much as Abbott and Hockey seek to portray themselves as men of character who are willing to risk short-term popularity for long-term gain, the reality is these men have gone for the jugular of the most vulnerable human beings in our country. There will be no long-term gain for the vulnerable. There will be increasing hardship, despair and disintegration. Abbott and Hockey will deliver us a new underclass, generations of citizens who have never been given a fair go.
Vulnerable people have never experienced entitlement, that is the province of the wealthy and comfortable. The age of entitlement is not over, it thrives. The age of the fair go has come to a sticky end, and we will all be the poorer for its death.

Abbott redefines "human" to exclude vulnerable
I don't know if anyone else is feeling traumatic fatigue as a consequence of the unrelenting assaults on truth and decency perpetrated by the Abbott government.
Where to start, recovering HECS debts from the dead, lying about the circumstances that led to the death of Reza Barati in the Manus Island riot; $111 million cut to CSIRO while $250 million given to school chaplains; Abbott and Hockey's persistent efforts to sell their draconian budget as "fair" when anyone who looks for more than a nano second can see it patently is not, favouring, as it does, the rich, while demanding that those who have little give more than they can bear from what little they have, must I go on?
One thing all the government's ideologically inspired torments have in common is their attack on human dignity, be it the dignity of asylum seekers, of disabled people, of pensioners, of students, of women who are unfairly disadvantaged, of the young unemployed, of the children who will be born into generational disadvantage as a consequence of this government's policies, must I go on?
Attacking the human dignity of just about everyone, in fact, except the comfortably off and the rich, causing me to conclude yet again that in the conservative mind, the only human who deserves to conduct their life with dignity is the human with power and money.
Which one of the bastards said it is necessary to break eggs if you want to make an omelette?
Denial of human dignity discredits the worth of any cause that needs such denial to assert itself… What may be true for omelettes becomes a cruel lie when applied to human happiness and well-being.*
The ideological assumption from which many, if not all of the Abbott government policies are born, is that if you find yourself in a position where you need government assistance of any kind you are exiled from humanity, that is, they have redefined human to exclude the vulnerable. Indeed, you are not vulnerable at all, as the conservative mind does not accept the notion of vulnerability. You are a bludger, a scrounger, an importunate failure whose existence can only serve to drain the resources of the successful, and this has nothing at all to do with the circumstances of your life, or the society in which you attempt to live it. To the conservative mind, vulnerability equals immorality.
No evidence is ever presented by either politicians or the media who support their ideology, to substantiate claims of bludgers sitting on couches living the high life on the dole. No evidence is ever provided to substantiate the stereotypes of profligate youth, lazy mothers, thieving pensioners, criminal asylum seekers, people faking disability, et al, all of whom apparently exist only to deprive the successful and the powerful of what they claim to have worked their arses off to achieve, that is, depriving the humans who deserve to survive, and survive with dignity.
The value, the most precious of human values the sine qua non attribute of humanity, is a life of dignity; not survival at all costs. *
Yes, Prime Minister Abbott reassures his audiences, this is a hard budget, it will be hard but it is necessary. Yes, Prime Minister, this is a hard budget and it is hard on those who can least afford the pain it will bring. It is an attack on the vulnerable, an attack on human dignity, a disgraceful, undisguised war on anyone who is not, in conservative terms, successful.
And if Bob Ellis is right, though I dare not hope, I dare not, it will bring you down so hard on your unsellable arse that you will never get up again.
The world found nothing sacred in the abstract nakedness of being human, wrote Hannah Arendt. And neither does the Abbott government.

The Budget: All cruelty springs from weakness
It can't be denied any longer, conservatives really do believe they have no responsibility to the vulnerable, and it is perfectly acceptable to the Abbott government that those who can least afford it endure the most harsh of financial limitations.
This piece in the Sydney Morning Herald reveals that while high income couples stand to lose scarcely at all, families on benefits may lose up to 10% of their income. Known as "Detailed family outcomes," this information was withheld from the budget, contrary to custom, by Joe Hockey, obviously because it reveals the Abbott government lie that everyone will be doing their fair share of the heavy lifting allegedly required to get the budget back on track.
Abbott also stated in an interview with Alison Carabine on Radio National Breakfast this morning that the highly paid, such as politicians, judges and senior public servants, will suffer a pay freeze for twelve months, costing Abbott something like a $6000 addition to his $500,000 plus benefits salary package. Not even the most witless among us could possibly believe this can be in any way comparable to the situation of a young person without resources denied Newstart benefits, and low-income families and pensioners having to choose between a middy, a treat for the kids, the doctor's bill, and medicine, for which they will also have to pay more.
Pensioners also stand to lose extras such as free car registration, and reductions in rates, water and electricity. These concessions were made available to the people in the community who were recognised as vulnerable and needing assistance by governments unlike this one, governments who were capable of making such acknowledgements.
The question I am waiting for a journalist to ask the Prime Minister and the Treasurer is, why are they placing an intolerable burden on the most vulnerable while the wealthy are called upon to do comparatively very little?
What is it in the conservative psychology that makes such unfairness acceptable to them?
No country can afford to be governed by people who hate and fear vulnerability, as do these Australian conservatives. Far from being adult such people are dangerously immature, incapable of understanding any life experience other than their own. Convinced of its superiority, this government asks little or nothing of those best placed to contribute to the country's needs, while demanding that those least able, relinquish what little they already have. In other words, the Abbott government is determined to punish the vulnerable for their vulnerability.
All cruelty springs from weakness, declared the philosopher Seneca. Wealth and power do not guarantee strength of character, and it's hard to detect that quality in Abbott and Hockey. Strength of character requires the ability to identify vulnerability and refrain from taking advantage of it. Hockey and Abbott have indeed identified the vulnerable, and have proceeded to take the most appalling advantage, of the kind they would never dream of imposing on the wealthy and comfortable.
Conservatives are, in general, weak and cruel. Our government is weak and cruel. We are in dangerous times, with this weak and cruel government. As we have seen with the treatment of asylum seekers in this country, (and this has been demonstrated by both major parties) once the bar has been lowered for the treatment of a particular group of human beings, it is very easy to escalate ill-treatment.
This budget is devastating for the vulnerable, and pays no mind to their survival. This budget will lower the bar on the treatment of vulnerable people in our society. It will become easier to treat them even more harshly, to consider them even less worthy, to demonise them as threats and parasites, just as has been done to asylum seekers in the last fourteen years. And in the way of things, as history has demonstrated over and over again, ill-treatment becomes normalised, and scapegoats become the bitter focus of a community's fears and discontents.
Beware of cruel governments. They will only become more cruel. Because they are, at their heart, cowardly and weak, and when the cowardly and weak attain power, the vulnerable will be the first they destroy.

Pasquale Rotella
websitefacebooktwitterinstagram
Experience creator, businessman, philanthropist, film producer, night owl. Over the last 20 years, Pasquale Rotella has been known as many things. First and foremost, he is the founder and creator of the world's largest dance music and experience company: Insomniac. Instilled with the rock 'n' roll savvy of Bill Graham, the imagination of Walt Disney, and the showmanship of P.T. Barnum, he has dedicated himself to creating the most extraordinary live music experiences of his generation. He is internationally recognized as a leader in his field and a champion of electronic music culture, informed by its rich history and determined to pen the narrative to its bright future.
Inspired first and foremost as an attendee of the short-lived Los Angeles underground dance music scene of the early '90s, Rotella founded Insomniac in 1993. The first events he organized—held at a new warehouse venue each week—hosted a mere 300 people. Driven by the positive vibes and unique environments these gatherings provided for him and his friends, Rotella managed all facets of the operation, from scouting the locations and curating the décor to booking the talent and distributing the flyers. Today, Insomniac festivals, concerts and club nights entertain over 1,000,000 people annually.
"Providing a memorable, one-of- a-kind experience for our fans has and always will be my first priority," says Rotella. "We take a lot of pride in our productions, from the scenic stages and the performers to all the interactive art pieces we feature."
Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas, the company's signature event, drew more than 400,000 people over three days to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway in 2015, shattering the previous year's attendance numbers and garnering the title of North America's largest music festival. The Carnival also made its way to the big screen in 2014 with the release of Under the Electric Sky. Executive Produced by Rotella, the film follows the journey of several festivalgoers as they make their way from their hometowns to the 2013 EDC Las Vegas festival grounds. The 3D documentary—the first of its kind to be screened at Sundance—is testament to the meteoric rise of Rotella, Insomniac, and the exhilarating, provocative world of electronic dance music; and the press has taken note.
Rotella earned spots on the prestigious Billboard Power 100 list in 2013, 2014, and 2015, and has been labeled by the magazine as a top "EDM Power Player" and the second most important person in EDM by Rolling Stone. He was voted the #1 Most Powerful Person in EDM by inthemix, and awarded a spot on Vegas Inc.'s "Top 40 Under 40. Insomniac Events has been featured on Fast Company's Top Ten list of the music industry's Most Innovative Companies, alongside Spotify and Vevo. As part of its mission to give back to the communities that help support it, Insomniac has donated over $1 million in the last 3 years to group like the Boys and Girls Club of America, Pablove, Rock the Vote, the Robert Shapiro Foundation, and the Emergency Medicine Resident Research Foundation at the University Of Nevada School Of Medicine.

Q: Connection to the sqlite database from another machine I have set up a sqlite3 database on Raspberry Pi - Raspberry Pi is connected to the local network.

I want to connect to this database - and then I will create a Flask API on my computer - locally.

How do I connect to this database that I have set up on Raspberry Pi? Can I do it with Paramiko for example?

I've read a bit about it, but I haven't found any clear answer that is possible at all.

I would also like to have access to some GUI - to have direct access to Raspberry Pi where sqlite works - I checked some public GUI for sqlite browsing - but it works only locally (it can't be connected to another machine)

I'm asking for some information, possibly some tips on how I can connect to this database.

(photo credit) Her mother served as regent till Marie-Adélaïde turned 18; thereafter, she was fully the 1st reigning Grand Duchess of Luxembourg (as well as "the first sovereign of Luxembourg since 1296 to have actually been born within the country"). Unpopular in part because of her cordial relations with Germany during World War I, she would be forced to abdicate in 1919. Her sister Charlotte then took the throne, while Marie-Adélaïde became a Roman Catholic nun and died from influenza, in Bavaria, in 1924.

The Seafarers Advice and Information Line (SAIL) turns 25
Miles Cowley, SAIL manager pictured with HRH The Princess Royal. Image: Olivia Harris / Seafarers Advice and Information Line (SAIL)
The Seafarers Advice and Information Line (SAIL) is marking its 25th anniversary today.
SAIL is a helpline service for seafarers that focuses on financial issues and operates under the umbrella of the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB).
It is managed by Citizens Advice Greenwich and funded by the Seafarers Hospital Society, The Seafarers Charity and Greenwich Hospital. It was launched on 24th September 1996 on board HQS Wellington, the Headquarters Ship of the Honourable Company of Master Mariners.
Miles Cowley, SAIL manager explains that the helpline is tackling more frequent – and more complex – problems. Last year the service raised a record £2.3m on behalf of its clients.
'On a day-to-day basis welfare benefits, debt, employment and housing problems continue to dominate and much of SAIL's advice and casework includes negotiation with third parties on behalf of clients,' he says. 'Debt now takes up a significant proportion of our caseload and is both time-consuming and complex.'
Emma Knight, chief executive of Citizens Advice Greenwich says that the organisation's services will be needed more than ever in its twenty-fifth year: 'Over the next few months we expect to see an increased demand for our services as government-funded Covid support is withdrawn. The loss of the Universal Credit uplift and the end of furlough will adversely affect those on a low income and seafarers will be very badly hit. Our role in helping people to reduce their debt and maximise their income will be more important than ever before as we recover from the trauma of the last 18 months.'
Seafarers with consumer or financial issues can reach SAIL on 0800 160 1842 or via advice@sailine.org.uk

BSKYB boss James Murdoch is in conflict with key staff who fear they might lose out on huge bonuses as the satellite broadcaster's plans change under his leadership.
Until now, two of the most critical factors in deciding the size of the bonuses have been how many people sign up to Sky and how much each subscriber spends with the group. At the moment, the company has 7.3 million subscribers, each paying an average of £382 a year.
But Murdoch, who was controversially appointed chief executive last year, wants to alter the criteria used to calculate bonuses.
Last month, the son of BSkyB chairman Rupert Murdoch announced that the company would launch a free satellite TV service available for a one-off fee of £150.
The measure was seen as a counter to the success of Freeview, the free digital TV service backed by the BBC.
While Murdoch has not abandoned targets inherited from his predecessor - including reaching eight million subscribers by 2005 with each paying on average £400 a year - other criteria will also be used as a measure of success.
'There is some confusion as to how the business model is going to change,' said a BSkyB shareholder.
BSkyB refused to comment, but a source close to the company said: 'When the targets of the company change so will incentives.

LINZ, Oct 27 (Reuters) Top seed Maria Sharapova was stretched by Serbia's Ana Ivanovic before she claimed a 7-6 7-5 win to reach the semi-finals of the Linz Open today.
Fourth-seed Nicole Vaidisova also had to battle hard to overcome another Serb, Jelena Jankovic, 5-7 7-6 6-4 and set up a showdown with defending champion Nadia Petrova.
The Russian strolled to a comfortable 6-1 6-3 victory over Australian Samantha Stosur.
In the last of the quarter-finals, third seed Patty Schnyder beat Russian Vera Zvonareva 7-6 6-4.
Sharapova struggled to overcome an inspired Ivanovic. She failed to serve out either set on her first attempt despite earning early breaks.
''I didn't really finish it off in both sets but credit to her,'' Sharapova told reporters. ''She hung in there and she played a good game in the first set to get back in it.
''In the second set I had two double-faults and made a few sloppy errors but I hung in there.'' After breaking Ivanovic in the fifth game of the opening set, Sharapova relinquished the advantage when she produced forehand errors on all three set points at 5-4.
Ivanovic levelled at 5-5 with a glorious forehand winner.
Sharapova then failed to win any of three break points at 5-5 but took the tiebreak 7-3.
The Russian raced to a 5-2 lead in the second set but when she served for the match at 5-3, she dropped her serve with a double fault.
With another tiebreak in prospect, Sharapova broke for the match when Ivanovic ended a lengthy rally by netting a backhand.
FADED AWAY Stosur performed well against Petrova in the first two games but then simply faded away.
A double-fault gave the second-seeded Russian a break for 2-1, a netted backhand a further break for 4-1, and another double-fault gave Petrova the set.
Petrova dominated the second set by hitting some crisp volleys and rallying strongly from the baseline. She needed just one break of serve to secure victory.
Jankovic mixed up her game with a greater variety of shots but was eventually overpowered by Vaidisova, who fired 20 aces.
The Serbian sixth seed had the edge in the first set as Vaidisova struggled to find her range and hit five double-faults.
Although Vaidisova recovered an early break to level at 3-3, Jankovic regained the advantage to win the set.
After winning the second-set tiebreak 7-5, Vaidisova finally rattled Jankovic in the third game of the decider. A netted backhand from Jankovic gave Vaidisova a 2-1 lead and she kept her focus to win the match.
Mary Pierce's season came to an abrupt end when she was diagnosed as having ruptured a cruciate ligament. The twice grand slam champion collapsed on court on Thursday while playing Zvonareva.


The 2019 National Council for Behavioral Health Conference that occurred in Nashville last week provides reason to pause. Its theme, "Celebrating 50 Years of WE", gets to the very heart of what will bring about change – for behavioral health and beyond. Together, we can make a difference.
Thursday, May 4, was National Children's Mental Health Awareness Day whose theme this year, "Partnering for Help and Hope", rings particularly true with Beacon Health Options.
Highlighting the importance of integrating behavioral health and primary care for children, youth and young adults with mental and/or substance use disorders, the day brings to light the many innovative Beacon programs and solutions that integrate behavioral health and primary care. At Beacon, we view the community as integral to the solution.
Serendipity made me a barbecue judge in Memphis, a martial arts student in Little Rock, and a psychiatrist/epidemiologist in a conference call about the implementation of measurement-based mental health care – this in the last several weeks. This serendipity also made it clear to me what all of these activities have in common: the need to quantify quality.
Any observer of health care has heard a lot about integration. The system can't move forward without it.
It's the panacea for siloed, fragmented care. Once we achieve the integration between behavioral and physical health services, we have achieved true person-centered, holistic care. Most people agree that integration is how we develop truly effective care, but how to implement integration remains a debated topic.
It's been called the "Iron Triangle of Health Care," but sometimes I call it "The Panera Pick 2 Rule " – whereby you have to choose between sandwich, soup, and salad, but you can only have two.
I assume you are familiar with Panera Bread, so let me tell you about the Iron Triangle and how a recent article in The Lancet may provide clues on how to disentangle that nearly legendary triangle in mental health.
In the midst of an election year and a national opioid addiction crisis, mental health is finally getting the attention it's due.
The Mental Health Reform Act, which has already been approved by the Senate HELP Committee, is one of those efforts that is trying to right the ship to balance mental and physical health care.
We hear a lot about the value of relationships in our personal lives.
They help people to live longer, deal with stress better, and experience better well-being. The same can be said for health care, where relationships take the form of partnerships. For Beacon Health Options (Beacon), this is especially true in Colorado where, for 22 years, Beacon and its partners have measurably improved the lives of the people they serve.
If you have read Beacon Health Options' white paper, "Integration," you learned that more than half of all adults with major depressive disorder are already managed in primary care settings.
You also learned that most antidepressant medications are written by primary care physicians (PCPs). However, most concerning is that approximately 45 percent of those who complete suicide have seen their PCP within the past month.
Integration is a buzzword in mental health care, but what does it really mean?
Such a plethora of definitions leads to a lack of clarity about what activities need to take place, where, and by whom to really make a difference in improved health for people with mental illness.

Victor Eugène Ange Jules Maistriau, né à Maurage le  et mort à Mons le , était un homme politique libéral belge.

Fils d'un bourgmestre de Maurage, Victor Maistriau, fut diplômé docteur en droit de l'université de Gand. Il s'inscrivit ensuite au Barreau de Mons en 1897 et exerça d'abord comme avocat avant de se lancer dans une longue carrière politique. Durant la Première Guerre mondiale, il fut plusieurs fois emprisonné par les autorités allemandes. Il a notamment défendu des compatriotes accusés d'espionnage par les occupants lors du Grand procès de Mons.

Carrière politique

Niveau local
Élu conseiller communal de Mons en 1904, il fut échevin de l'Instruction publique en 1912 et devint bourgmestre de la ville en 1926 : il le resta jusqu'en 1953, hormis pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale où, obligé de se cacher, le mayorat fut assuré par Ernest Stack, bourgmestre faisant fonction, puis par un rexiste imposé par les autorités nazies.

Niveau national
Victor Maistriau a été élu député en 1933, puis fut ministre de l'Instruction publique en 1934 et ministre de la Justice en 1937 dans le gouvernement Van Zeeland II en remplacement de François Bovesse. Bien que partisan déterminé de l'unité belge, Victor Maistriau siégea à l'Assemblée wallonne à partir de 1927 et sera membre du comité de patronage des Congrès culturels wallons de Charleroi (1938) et Liège (1957). L'Encyclopédie du Mouvement wallon lui consacre une brève notice en son Tome II.

Associations: The new Dave Lennox Premier Dealer program was rolled out January 2004, and Littleton Heating & Air Conditioning is now using it to benchmark their quality and reputation. In the past, making consumers comfortable at home has been simply a matter of providing them with quality products and services, now we're going beyond basic comfort, with sophisticated products that give consumers greater control over their home environments. We're also building and maintaining a reputation for trust by meeting independent standards for performance & customer satisfaction. The new Dave Lennox Premier Dealer program helps participating dealers by providing them with an independent Consumer Satisfaction Survey program. In order to maintain their status, participating dealers must utilize this satisfaction program and must meet minimum standards for performance. Survey results are available online to these dealers 24/7, providing immediate feedback and an opportunity to address any problems. We know from recent studies that trust is even more important than price to most consumers, for this reason, building and maintaining a reputation for trust and reliability is absolutely essential to the success of our business.

OH - Victims to leaflet at Mansfield area churches
They reach out to others who have been abused
Support group begs "Break your silence & get help"
"That's best way to heal & protect others," SNAP says
Hoping to find and help anyone who may have been molested by authority figures, child sex abuse victims will hand out fliers about their confidential support group to church-goers in the Mansfield area.
This Sunday, Dec. 22 from 9:30 a.m. until roughly noon, outside these four Mansfield churches:
9:30 a.m.--First Presbyterian Church (419-756-7066)
10:00 a.m.--Community Bible Church, 1043 Springmill Rd. (419-747-7986)
--Marion Avenue Grace Brethren Church, 531 Marion Ave. (419-522-3941)
--Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, 265 West Third St. (419-526-0129)
Two women who say they were sexually assaulted as children by clerics. They belong to an independent international self-help group called SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priest (NOTE – the organization helps ANYONE who was violated in ANY institutional setting, not just churches.)
At one of the churches – First Presbyterian – numerous kids were molested roughly two decades ago.
At another one of them – Greek Orthodox Church – SNAP suspects that a cleric who was arrested in several months ago in Columbus may have worked there.
http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/09/21/greek-orthodox-priest-faces-child-sex-charges.html
In general, the leafleting effort is to encourage those who may have seen, suspected or suffered child sex crimes – especially but not strictly by church personnel – to step forward, get help, expose wrongdoers, call police, deter cover-ups, protect kids and start healing.
SNAP believes that police and prosecutors are increasingly able to pursue even older child sex crimes and cover ups. But it's crucial that those with knowledge or suspicions of such crimes speak up.
SNAP is an independent, confidential support group, a safe place for those who are suffering to share their burdens and get help.
The group was founded 25 years ago and is based in Chicago. SNAP's website is SNAPnetwork.org

I think most of you know I run a handmade card business and usually once August comes around, I'm in full fledged Christmas card making mode in order to have inventory ready for the season so I love that it's timely that this week's Crafter's Companion new release is Mulberry Wood Christmas images. I love that this collection not only has images, it also has so many sentiment and tag images that I don't always have enough of. Here is how I used one of them.
This is a simple card to make – I embossed and sanded a lovely piece of Core'dination card stock, matted it with patterned paper and stamped the tag image, then die cut it. A bonus I discovered – all the circle tag images on this stamp set fit the Spellbinders Nestabilities circle die SM perfectly. Yay – sure makes easy work! I also embellished the edge of the tag with some glitter to give it some pop. I hope this gives you some inspiration for your Christmas card making.


Well done, Frank! Thanks for putting that together for CassyD!
Take a look at JohnnOhio's post # 246, 256, 269 in flob's link, do any of these symptoms sound like your's?
Then look at this thread, you might want to print post #'s 4, 5, 12 and 15 and very diplomatically give it to your service writer.
Keep us updated there are some really knowledgeable people on this forum, ceemax71 and zhackwyatt are just 2.
And peolpe who can get a lot of good info in a short post fbov.
If it's any consolation, my MPGs dropped immediately after the upgrade too, but slowly rose over the following month. I was told that there was a *break-in* period for the upgrade, much like that of a new car, only thankfully, not as long. By the end of the summer my commuter MPGs were back to, and in some cases above, the pre-upgrade. Freeway miles, not so much. We shall see what winter brings, since some of the features are supposed to help us in colder weather.
Hang in there.....with almost all of us, the MPGs have gotten better.
Also, just curious, was it hot/warm the day you had your radio problem?
I left the car outside overnight, gentle rainy night, and now by radio won't shut off...I've had to run to my car during my lunch hour to drive it so the battery doesn't die. What a joke.
Find the fuse and pull it. Problem reoccurred, but not for several years.
Had same thing...Radio couldn't change stations, couldn't change volume.
Went to dealer. Service desk disconnected the 12 volt battery for 10 minutes. Problem solved!

Information for Wake County families
Returning To School After Diagnosis, Exposure, or Illness
Procedure for Report of COVID-19 on Campus
Health Screening - Spanish
Reporting and Contact Tracing
Maintaining Healthy Spaces
Social and Emotional Health
Virtual Pre-K
WCPSS Virtual Academy
COVID Metrics
These protocols are based on guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), Wake County Public Health, and the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI).
Our top priority in all decisions is the health, safety, and well-being of our students, employees, and school communities. If and when the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic change, this guidance may also change.
To learn more, click on the topic below to expand the information.
Cloth Face Coverings >
North Carolina requires a face covering of your choice for all employees, adult visitors, and K-12 students at all times, even when 6 feet or farther from other individuals, including:
inside school buildings and anywhere on school grounds, including outside; and
while traveling on buses or other contract transportation vehicles.
Cloth face coverings remain strongly recommended for pre-K students if appropriate for that child, but are not required for them.
A face covering must be secured safely over the nose, mouth, and under the chin.
State health officials strongly recommend face coverings for all people over the age of two.
Face coverings are not required for individuals who:
Cannot tolerate a face covering due to developmental, medical, or behavioral health needs
Are actively eating or drinking
Are strenuously exercising
Are seeking to communicate with a hearing impaired person in a way that requires the mouth to be visible
Have found that a face covering is impeding visibility to operate equipment or a vehicle
Are children whose parent, guardian, or responsible person has been unable to place a face covering safely on the child's face
Face coverings are an additional step to help slow the spread of COVID-19 when combined with everyday preventive actions and social distancing in public settings.
Face coverings will be provided for students who do not have access to one. If given a reusable face covering, it is the responsibility of the family to wash it when needed and bring it back to reuse it.
Please also review face covering best practices on the CDC website with your child and help them practice wearing face coverings appropriately for extended periods of time.
Schools may give students a brief face covering break if they can meet all of the following conditions:
Outside only
Spaced 8-10 feet from all other individuals, including employees
Students should remain stationary in the same space
Students should all face the same direction
Handwashing >
Handwashing is one of the best ways to protect yourself and your family from getting sick. The CDC recommends everyone wash their hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands. Teachers will be teaching handwashing in the classroom, incorporating handwashing breaks into the school day, and reinforcing handwashing during key times
throughout the school day such as before eating, using the restroom, and touching shared objects.
Hand-Sanitizing Stations >
Washing hands with soap and water is the best way to get rid of germs in most situations. If soap and water are not readily available, individuals are encouraged to use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol). Schools will provide hand-sanitizing stations at every school entrance and exit, in the cafeteria, in every class, and on every bus and transportation vehicle.
If your child has sensitivities to hand sanitizer, please communicate this with your child's teachers so they can provide your child other opportunities to clean their hands.
Social Distancing >
Schools are taking actions to ensure all campus spaces and buildings support health and safety. These actions include: signage and floor markings to remind students of social-distancing practices, strategic furniture placement in classrooms and changing the typical "traffic flow" inside school buildings to promote and facilitate social distancing in hallways, bathrooms, and during times of transition.
Before and after school, we ask students to avoid congregating on campus. Employees will direct students to clear the hallways and parking lots and leave campus in an effort to encourage social distancing.
Cleaning and Disinfecting >
Buildings will be cleaned and disinfected throughout the day and every evening. The CDC defines cleaning as removing germs, dirt and impurities from surfaces or objects. Disinfecting kills germs on surfaces or objects. Students are not permitted to assist with cleaning and disinfecting.
Disinfecting supplies will be provided to each classroom to support the cleaning of desks and other high touch surfaces between classes, after lunch, and the cleaning of shared program materials/equipment as desired. After school each day, desks and other touch points will be disinfected.
Custodial Services will clean and disinfect all restrooms using approved procedures a minimum of four times daily, and after school hours.
If students eat in the cafeteria, Child Nutrition Services will clean and disinfect seats and tables before and after each meal. If students eat in the classroom, students and staff are expected to clean up after themselves by placing all trash and recyclables in the bins placed in the hallways. Bins will be located near multiple classrooms.
Response to Presumptive, Suspected or Positive COVID-19 Illness
Affected areas will be closed and thoroughly disinfected. Custodial staff will notify the School Administrator, COVID-19 Coordinator, or Care Center Attendant when the area is ready to be re-opened.
Visitors >
Only essential visitors will be allowed on school campuses in an effort to protect the health and safety of our community by minimizing the
number of people on sites.
All efforts will be made to keep necessary visitors to a minimum, including the use of virtual or telephone meetings with families and guests.
If it is essential to have family members or visitors enter the facility, they must go through the same health screening process as students and employees. All visitors are required to follow guidelines in the Cloth Face Covering section of this document. Any meetings with a family member or visitor must follow social-distancing guidelines.
Water Fountains >
In response to COVID-19, students will be prohibited from drinking directly from water fountains.
All students are encouraged to bring their own bottled water or reusable water bottles. All water bottles should be clearly labeled with the user's name. It is the students' responsibility to keep track of their water bottles and take them home for regular cleaning.
If students needs water and do not have a water bottle, they may ask an employee for a cup to get water from the water fountain.
Transportation >
Seating capacity on buses will be consistent with state guidelines.
All K-12 students are required to wear a face covering at all times while in a vehicle, unless they meet one of the exceptions listed in the Cloth Face Covering section. If an employee or student does not have a face covering, one will be provided.
Hand sanitizer will be available on all school transportation vehicles for safe use by employees and older children.
Touch points, including doors and windows, grab handles, arm rests, hard seats, door handles, and seat belt buckles, will be disinfected between each bus run with an EPA-approved disinfectant for SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Every bus will be cleaned between morning and afternoon runs and at the end of each day.
Cafeteria >
Our child nutrition employees will continue to prepare food in our school kitchens following very strict food safety and sanitation procedures required by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), NC Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS), and NC Department of Public Instruction (NCDPI). All meals will be individually packaged for direct service to students.
Through December 31, breakfast and lunch will be available at no cost for all students. Meals are currently available at curbside and community locations listed at wcpss.net/food.
Information about applying for Meal Benefits for the 2020-21 school year can be found at wcpss.net/meals. Students eligible for reduced-price meals will receive their breakfast and lunch at no cost for the 2020-21 school year. Applications can be completed online at MySchoolApps.com, or a paper application can be requested by calling 919-588-3535.
Our menus will continue to feature student favorites, fresh Got To Be NC farm-to-school fruits and vegetables, and will provide the protein, whole grains, low-fat dairy, fruits and vegetables that are important ingredients in a nutritious meal.
More information regarding Child Nutrition Services is available in our Child Nutrition Reopening Guide for Parents.
Athletic and Co-Curricular Activities >
The school board has approved this schedule for the gradual return of athletic activities. This is a summary of health and safety protocols for student-athletes and staff. Contact your school for more detailed information and workout schedules.
The following documents are required for athletic participation. These documents should be submitted prior to attending their first athletic pre-season activity.
Initial Screening Form (must be signed prior to beginning participation)
High School Athletic Participation Form
For the upcoming school year, in-person field trips have been suspended to ensure the safety of our students and employees.

«Бо́ка Ху́ніорс» (), або просто «Бока» — аргентинський спортивний клуб, що базується в Ла Боці, одному з районів Буенос-Айреса. До клубу належать команди з різних видів спорту, найвідомішою з яких є футбольна, що виступає в Прімера дивізіоні. Барви клубу — жовто-сині.

Найзапеклішим суперником «Боки» є «Рівер Плейт» (барви — червоно-білі), інший клуб із Буенос-Айреса. Протистояння між цими командами називають «Суперкласико» (), воно є одним із найбільш відомих та принципових в Аргентині та світі, адже ці команди є найпопулярнішими в Аргентині. Домашній стадіон «Боки» імені Альберто Армандо відомий як «Ла Бомбонера». Молодіжна академія клубу виховала багатьох гравців, що заграли на міжнародному рівні, наприклад Ніколаса Бурдіссо, Карлоса Тевеса, Евера Банеґу, Фернандо Ґаґо. Одним із найвідоміших гравців «Боки» є Дієґо Марадона.

«Бока Хуніорс» є одним із найуспішніших клубів Аргентини та світу, маючи в активі 48 офіційних титулів (30 на національному рівні та 18 на міжнародному). Останній офіційний титул клуб здобув 2011 року — це був Кубок Аргентини. На міжнародній арені команда здобула 18 титулів, що є світовим рекордом, який «Бока» розділяє з італійським «Міланом» (втім слід зважати на те, що «Бока» здобула два міжнародні титули впродовж аматорської ери: Кубок Тьє 1919 року та Кубок Слави Кусеньєр 1920 року — ці турніри розігрувалися ще до утворення КОМНЕБОЛу).

Серед міжнародних трофеїв «Боки» є 6 Кубків Лібертадорес, 4 Рекопа Південної Америки, 3 Міжконтинентальні кубки, 2 Південноамериканські кубки, 1 Золотий кубок, 1 Суперкубок Південної Америки, 1 Кубок володарів Кубка Лібертадорес, 1 Кубок Тьє та 1 Кубок Слави Кусеньєр. Зазвичай клуб входить до першої 25-тки рейтингу IFFHS, який клуб очолював шість разів. Крім того IFFHS визнала «Боку» найкращим футбольним клубом Південної Америки у 1-й декаді 21. століття (2001–2010). Наразі клуб посідає 6-е місце у світі.

Крім футболу «Бока Хуніорс» має команди ще й у баскетболі, футзалі, бойових мистецтвах, реслінґу, волейболі, гімнастиці, плаванні та важкій атлетиці.

Історія

Барви

Заснування

3 квітня 1905 року п'ятеро італійців зустрілися, аби заснувати клуб. Зустріч відбулася в будинку Естебана Бальєтто, а інших чотирьох звали Альфредо Скарпатті, Сантьяґо Сана та брати Хуан і Теодоро Фаренґи. Після кількох годин дискусії батько Бальєтто вигнав хлопців із будинку, тож вони вимушені були продовжити обговорення проєкту в Пласа-Соліс (), яку тепер вважають місцем заснування «Бока Хуніорс».

Іншими важливими учасниками заснування були Артуро Пенні, Марселіно Верґара, Луїс Сересо, Адольфо Теджо, Джованеллі, Донато Аббатанджело, Бертоліні. Тоді використання англійської мови у назвах клубів були звичною справою, оскільки футбол в Аргентину принесли британські залізничники.

Аматорська ера (1908–1930)
1908 року «Бока Хуніорс» було відмовлено у вступі до Аргентинської футбольної асоціації. Перший стадіон команди було споруджено в Ісла-Демарчі, гроші на його будівництво жертвували прихильники клубу, як-то Хуан Брічетто.

Дебют «Боки» у складі Асоціації відбувся у Другому дивізіоні: команда зіграла проти «Бельґрано», перемігши з рахунком 3:1. Зрештою «Бока» посіла перше місце в тому турнірі (серед восьми команд) і пройшла до наступної стадії, півфіналу, де поступилася «Расінґ» 1:0.

1908 року команда взяла участь у розіграші Кубка Буллріч, вибувши з нього після поразки 5:0 від «Атланти».

1910 року «Бока Хуніорс» зустрілася з «Расінґом» у півфіналі, проте знову програла 2:1, втративши нагоду пробитися до Першого дивізіону. Наступного року команда знову зазнала невдачі.

Підвищення до Першого дивізіону
1913 року команда потрапила до Першого дивізіону — це сталося завдяки його розширенню з 6 до 15 учасників. Іншими командами, що увійшли до нової ліги, були «Ферро Карріл Есте», «Платенсе», «Бенфілд», «Олівос», «Комерсіо», «Ферро Каріл Суд» та «Р'ячуело».

Перший титул

20 січня 1920 року «Бока Хуніорс» здобув своє перше чемпіонство (сезону 1919 року), перемігши «Спортіво де Альмаґро» 4:0. Матч відбувся на домашньому стадіоні «Боки». Наступного, 1921 року команда взяла ще один титул (сезону 1920 року) після перемоги над «Бенфілдом». Наступне золото чемпіонату вдалося виграти в сезоні 1923 року: тоді знадобилося 4 матчі, аби визначити, хто сильніший — «Бока» чи «Уракан». Вирішальна гра відбулася 27 квітня 1924 року.

В сезоні 1924 року «Бока» добилася чемпіонства не зазнавши жодної поразки (18 перемог і одна нічия). Команда забила 67 голів (тобто в середньому 3,52 за гру), пропустивши 8.

Почесний чемпіон

1925 року «Бока Хуніорс» здійснила свою першу поїздку до Європи, аби зіграти там товариські матчі (особливо в Іспанії, Німеччині та Франції). Загалом аргентинці провели 19 ігор, вигравши 15 із них. Зокрема «Бока» обіграла «Реал Мадрид», «Сельту де Віґо» та «Депортиво» з Ла-Коруньї. 28 червня 1926 року «Бока Хуніорс» було оголошено «Почесним чемпіоном» () сезону 1925 року і кожного учасника команди було нагороджено пам'ятною медаллю.

Останні аматорські титули
1926 року «Бока Хуніорс» знову виграли чемпіонат без жодної поразки, зігравши 17 матчів. Після цього «Боці» довелося зіграти плей-оф за єдиний титул проти «Індепендьєнте», оскільки того року було вирішено об'єднати дві ліги (Аргентинську футбольну асоціацію та Аматорську футбольну асоціацію). Проте цю гру 20 лютого 1927 року було перенесено через глядачів, що вибігли на поле. Матч 3 березня завершився внічию 0:0, і більше його не перегравали.

Останній аматорський титул було здобуто в сезоні 1930 року (а саме 22 березня 1931), коли «Бока» обіграла «Атланту» 4:1. Протягом аматорської ери «Бока» виграла шість чемпіонатів (1919, 1920, 1923, 1924, 1926 та 1930).

Професійна ера

Початок

Як тільки в Аргентині було засновано професійну футбольну лігу, «Бока Хуніорс» виграв перший чемпіонат у новому форматі. Це був сезон 1931 року, «Бока» взяла золото в останньому матчі, обігравши свого запеклого суперника «Рівер Плейт» 3:0. Загалом команда набрала 50 очок, здобувши 22 перемоги, 6 нічиїх та зазнавши 6 поразок.

1934 року «Бока» виграла свій другий професійний титул, хоча команда програла 7 матчів і пропустила 62 голи. Причиною успіху за таких умов стала чудова гра нападників команди, що забили 101 м'яч. Таким чином, «Бока Хуніорс» став першим футбольним клубом Аргентини, що забив в одному сезоні чемпіонату понад 100 голів. Наступного року цей рекорд було повторено, проте цього разу команда пропустила лише 29 м'ячів.

В 1930-х роках особливої слави зажили такі гравці клубу: Хуан Юстріч (на прізвисько «летюча риба»), Педро Аріко Суарес, Дельфін Бенітес Касерес, Домінґо Тарасконі, Роберто Черро та Франсіско Варальйо.

1940-ві

У 1940-вих «Бока» здобула ще три титули. Перший — 1940 року, коли було відкрито новий стадіон клубу. Ключовим виявився матч проти «Індепендьєнте», який «Бока» виграла 5:2. Того сезону статистика була такою: +24=7-3.

1941 року команда вдруге в історії відстояла чемпіонський титул, вигравши 3:0 у «Рівер Плейт» на їхньому стадіоні (офіційно матч був домашнім саме для «Боки», проте стадіон клубу було тимчасово закрито через хуліганські інциденти). Статистика: +19=8-3. Той склад «Боки» вважають одним із найкращих в історії.

1944 року «Бока Хуніорс» встановили рекорд безпрограшності — 26 ігор поспіль без поразок. Цей рекорд проіснував до 1966 року, коли «Расінґ» провів 39 поспіль безпрограшних матчів. Того сезону «Бока» знову здобула чемпіонство.

1949 року команда була близькою до пониження в класі, проте в останньому матчі обіграла «Ланус» і зберегла місце в еліті.

1950-ті та зіркові 1960-ті

1954 року «Бока» виграла свій перший титул після 9-ти невдалих років. У вирішальному матчі команда обіграла «Уракан» 3:1. Найкращим бомбардиром став Хосе Борельйо (19 голів). Іншим визначним гравцем був Хуліо Мусімессі, на прізвисько «воротар-співак».

1959 команда посіла лише 8-му сходинку, хоча виграла в обох суперкласико (5:1 та 3:2, програючи 2:0).

9 грудня 1962 року «Бока» здобула перемогу 1:0 в легендарному матчі проти «Рівер Плейт»; тоді воротар Антоніо Рома відбив пенальті, коли до завершення гри лишалося 6 хвилин. В наступній грі проти «Естудіантес» «Бока» виграла перший титул у 1960-х. Пізніше у тій декаді команда здобула ще чотири золота.

Наступний титул 1964 року увійшов до історії ще й тому, що в тому сезоні воротар Антоніо Рома 742 хвилини відстояв без пропущених м'ячів, а в 14 іграх пропустив лише одного разу. 1965 року «Бока» втретє у професійній історії відстояла титул. Вирішальними стали матчі проти «Рівер Плейт» (2:1) та «Атланти».

Після супекласико в рамках турніру Метрополітано 1968 року, що завершилося внічию 0:0, 27 уболівальників «Бока Хуніорс» загинули через тисняву біля виходу зі стадіону «Рівер Плейт»: двері виявилися зачиненими, коли фани покидали стадіон. Цей випадок увійшов до історії як Трагедія дверей #12 ().

1969 року команду очолював Альфредо ді Стефано.

1970-ті: друга «Золота ера»
1970 року «Бока» виграла ще один титул, обігравши в останньому матчі «Росаріо Сентраль». 1976 року Хуан Карлос Лоренсо очолив команду, ставши згодом одним із найуспішніших тренерів в історії «Боки». Під його керівництвом команда здобула 5 титулів за 3 роки.

1977 року «Бока Хуніорс» пробилася у фінал Кубка Лібертадорес, де її суперником був бразильський «Крузейру». Після перемоги 1:0 в Буенос-Айресі та поразки з таким же рахунком у Белу-Орізонте команди мали провести третю гру в Монтевідео. «Бока» перемогла лише в серії пенальті, а вирішальним став сейв воротаря Уґо Ґатті, що відбив удар бразильця Вандерлея. Того ж року «Бока» виграла ще й Міжконтинентальний Кубок, обігравши менхенґладбазську «Боруссію» (2:2, 3:0).

Наступного року команда виграла другий Кубок Лібертадорес, обігравши у фіналі «Депортиво» (Калі) із загальним рахунком 4:0.

1980-ті та 1990-ті
У 1980-х «Бока» виграла лише один титул (1981 року). На початку декади в команду перейшов Дієґо Марадона разом із Міґелем Бріндісі, Освальдо Ескудеро, Марсело Троббіані та колишнім гравцем команди Сільвіо Марцоліні на посаді тренера.

1984 року клуб був близьким до фінансового колапсу, майже ставши банкрутом. Того ж року команда зазнала найбільшої поразки у своїй історії, програвши «Барселоні» 1:9 у матчі за трофей Жуана Ґампе. Президентом клубу було обрано Антоніо Алеґре; під його керівництвом «Бока Хуніорс» вийшов із кризи: Алеґре взяв кредит розміром 800 тис. дол., заставивши свій бізнес. Крім того «Бока» продала частину своєї території за 21 млн дол. Покращення фінансових справ призвело до поліпшення гри команди, «Бока» здобула перемоги у низці турнірів — Суперкубку Південної Америки 1989 року, Рекопі Південної Америки 1990 року, Апертурі 1992 року, Кубку володарів Кубків Лібертадорес 1992 року та Золотому кубку 1992 року.

Ера Б'янчі

Колишній тренер «Велеса» Карлос Б'янчі очолив команду 1998 року. Він став найуспішнішим тренером команди, здобувши з «Бокою» 9 титулів та побивши таким чином рекорд Хуана Карлоса Лоренсо 1970-х років.

Першим титулом стала перемога в Апертурі 1998 року, яку команда здобула, не зазнавши жодної поразки. Мартін Палермо був найкращим бомбардиром, забивши 20 голів у 19 матчах. 1999 року «Бока» виграла Клаусуру, захистивши чемпіонство. Команда не зазнавала поразки у 40 матчах поспіль, побивши рекорд «Расінґа» 1960-х років.

2000 рік став найуспішнішим для «Бока Хуніорс». Команда виграла Кубок Лібертадорес вперше за 18 років, обігравши у фіналі в серії пенальті «Палмейрас» (після 2:2 та 0:0). Значну роль у тій перемозі відіграв воротар Оскар Кордоба. Того ж року «Бока» виграла ще й Міжконтинентальний кубок, обігравши мадридський «Реал» 2:1, а також Апертуру.

2001 року команда знову виграла Кубок Лібертадорес, здолавши у фіналі «Крус Асул» (знову в серії пенальті і знову Оскар Кордоба зіграв у перемозі ключову роль).

Б'янчі покинув клуб 2002 року через конфлікт із власником клубу Маурісіо Макрі. Відтак його замінив Оскар Табарес, втім уже через рік Б'янчі повернувся. 2003 року «Бока» втретє за чотири роки виграла Кубок Лібертадорес. Найкращим гравцем турніру було визнано Карлоса Тевеса, а найкращим бомбардиром став Марсело Дельґадо. У фіналі аргентинці перемогли «Сантос» (2:0, 3:1). Того ж року команді вдалося знову виграти Міжконтинентальний кубок у матчі проти «Мілана».

«Бока» пробилася у фінал Кубка Лібертадорес ще й 2004 року, проте цього разу програла колумбійському клубу «Онсе Кальдас». По завершенні турніру Карлос Б'янчі покинув клуб.

Команда Басіле
Після відставки Б'янічі його наступником на посаді тренера команди став Міґель Бріндісі, що виступав за «Боку» у 1980-х. Проте команда фінішувала 8-ю в Апертурі 2004 року, тож він також пішов у відставку. Його наступник Хорхе Чіно Бенітес, також колишній гравець клубу, виграв із командою Південноамериканський кубок 2004 року, обігравши у фіналі «Болівар».

2005 року під час матчу Кубка Лібертадорес проти «Чівас» із Ґвадалахари Бенітес плюнув у гравця команди-суперника. «Бока» програла той матч, вилетівши з турніру, а Бенітеса було звільнено. Його місце зайняв Альфіо Басіле.

На чолі з Басіле «Бока» виграла Рекопу Південної Америки 2005, обігравши «Онсе Кальдас», та Кубок Південної Америки 2005, здолавши в серії пенальті мексиканський «Пумас». Роберто Аббодансьєрі став найціннішим гравцем матчу, відбивши два удари та реалізувавши у відповідь вирішальний пенальті. Згодом команда виграла ще три турніри — Апертуру 2005, Клаусуру 2006 та Рекопу Південної Америки 2006 (здолавши у фіналі «Сан-Паулу»).

Після вильоту збірної Аргентини з ЧС 2006 року Аргентинська асоціація футболу запропонувала Альфіо Басіле очолити національну команду. Таким чином, Басіле покинув «Бока Хуніорс», вигравши з ним 5 трофеїв упродовж 2 років (2005-06).

Після 2006
Новим тренером було призначено Рікардо Лавольпе. Апертура 2006 року була доволі успішною для «Боки», проте команда набрала однакову кількість очок із «Естудіантес», через що титул чемпіона розігрували в додатковому матчі. Команда «Естудіантес» перемогла 2:1, а Лавольпе пішов у відставку.

Наступним тренером був Міґель Анхель Руссо. Команда виграла Кубок Лібертадорес 2007, обігравши у фіналі «Ґреміу» (3:0 і 2:0). Найкращим гравцем турніру було визнано Хуана Романа Рікельме, що повернувся в команду напередодні початку сезону. У матчі за Міжконтинентальний кубок «Бока» знову зустрілася з «Міланом», проте цього разу європейці перемогли 4:2.

Команду очолив Карлос Іск'я, з яким клуб виграв Рекопу Південної Америки 2008 (обігравши «Арсенал» із Саранді), зате провали Кубок Лібератадорес, вилетівши у півфіналі від «Флуміненсе». Наприкінці року команда виграла Апертуру 2008 (титул чемпіона розіграли у плей-оф разом із «Сан-Лоренсо» та «Тиґре»). Того ж року запеклий суперник «Боки» «Рівер Плейт» вперше в історії фінішував останнім (що втім не означає пониження в класі через особливість аргентинського чемпіонату).

Клаусуру 2009 року «Бока» провалила (14-те місце з 19), тож Іск'я пішов у відставку. До клубу повернувся Басіле, проте йому також не вдалося виправити ситуацію (11-те місце в Апертурі 2009), після чого він також пішов у відставку. 2010 рік не приніс суттєвих змін у грі команди.

В січні 2011 новим тренером було призначено Хуліо Фальсьйоні. Команда не добилася успіху в Клаусурі, хоча «Бока» виграла суперкласико (останнє перед пониженням «Рівер Плейту» до Другого дивізіону). «Бока» фінішувала сьомою, крім того завершив кар'єру найкращий бомбардир в історії клубу — Мартін Палермо.

Апертура 2011 року завершилася без поразок із черговим чемпіонством. Крім того команда встановила рекорд найменшої кількості пропущених голів, відколи чемпіонат було розділено на два 1991 року — 6 голів.

2012 року «Бока» пробилася у фінал Кубка Лібертадорес, де поступилася «Корінтіанс» (1:1, 2:0)

Inside Ubisoft's unprecedented "exodus" of developers
Stephen Totilo, author of Axios Gaming

Colleagues across Ubisoft have names for the procession of developers who have departed over the past 18 months: "the great exodus" and "the cut artery."
Driving the news: The wave of resignations impacting scores of industries has come for the video game sector this year, and it's been felt acutely at the massive Ubisoft.
Across the company's global network of studios, which at 20,000-plus employees is one of gaming's largest workforces, many developers have decided it's time to quit.
And many of their colleagues describe a flow of goodbyes that they've never seen before.
Signs of the exits are abundant.
Top-name talent is leaving, with at least five of the top 25-credited people from the company's biggest 2021 game, Far Cry 6, already gone. Twelve of the top 50 from last year's biggest Ubisoft release, Assassin's Creed Valhalla, have left too. (A 13th recently returned.)
Also out are midlevel and lower-level workers as headcounts drop, particularly in Ubisoft's large and normally growing Canadian studios. LinkedIn shows Ubisoft's Montreal and Toronto studios each down at least 60 total workers in the last six months.
Two current developers tell Axios the departures have stalled or slowed projects.
One developer recently said a colleague currently at Ubisoft contacted them to solve an issue with a game, because no one was still there who knew the system.
Interviews with a dozen current and former Ubisoft developers cite a range of factors for the departures, including low pay, an abundance of competitive opportunities, frustration at the company's creative direction, and unease at Ubisoft's handling of a workplace misconduct scandal that flared in mid-2020.
One developer with more than a decade of experience at Ubisoft before recently leaving said the company is "an easy target for recruiters," given the company's myriad issues.
Said another now-former Ubisoft worker who was disappointed by directives from the company's Paris HQ: "There's something about management and creative scraping by with the bare minimum that really turned me away."
These game makers, like others who spoke to Axios for this story, asked not to be identified out of concern for jeopardizing their careers or those of colleagues still at Ubisoft.
Many spoke fondly of much of their time at the company, and one said they'd even consider returning, but the past year and a half was a breaking point.
Management says it's on top of it, telling Axios that attrition is up but that the company has hired 2,600 workers since April. (In each of the two full years prior, it had hired more than 4,500 people.)
"Our attrition today is a few percentage points above where it typically is," Ubisoft's head of people ops, Anika Grant, told Axios in an interview. "But it's still within industry norms."
LinkedIn reports Ubisoft's attrition rate is 12%, according to data supplied by Ubisoft.
That's indeed lower than the even more embattled Activision Blizzard (16%) but higher than rivals EA (9%), Take-Two (8%) and Epic Games (7%).
Departing employees talk of generous competing offers, particularly in the Montreal area where new studios are proliferating and where attrition at Ubisoft's main studio doubled for a time.
One programmer told Axios they were able to triple their take-home pay by leaving.
In response, Ubisoft recently offered across-the-board pay raises for workers at its Canadian studios.
Grant said those boosts have improved retention by 50%. It's also frustrated developers in other studios who wonder when they're getting raises too.
Ubisoft's handling of misconduct scandals — a wave of #MeToo allegations that led to the departure of several powerful men at the company — have weighed on workers who have left and on many still at the company.
Over the summer, 1,000 current and former employees signed a letter saying Ubisoft hadn't done enough to reform its culture, and Grant has said the company recognizes it needs to engender more trust from its workforce that it's committed to reform.
"I think abuse and toxicity are contributing factors but not deciding ones for most," a current Ubisoft developer said of why colleagues were bailing. But, they added, "Women and people of color experience them as deciding factors."
One worker who left this year said they'd tried to involve themselves in efforts for the company to reform its culture but were disappointed by what they heard from their bosses.
"They constantly emphasized 'moving on' and 'looking forward' while ignoring the complaints, concerns and cries of their employees," the developer said.
Also frustrated by their role at Ubisoft, they left: "The company's reputation was too much to bear. It's legitimately embarrassing."
Ubisoft brass argues that, for all its tumult, the company's standing is comparable to its peers.
A spokesperson noted that questions in a recent companywide survey, about whether employees are happy at the company and would "recommend Ubisoft as a great place to work," returned a score of 74, which they said was in line with the industry average.
What's next: Last week, Ubisoft announced intentions to revive its Splinter Cell franchise, years before it would normally even hint at a new installment of any of its top series.
Come work at Ubisoft Toronto to make a new Splinter Cell, the company beckoned. Along with that entreaty, there are dozens of job listings for programmers and lots of senior staff.

Yoga Vietnam is a team of 3 fearless ladies who have evolved from fabulous friends to closed colleagues, and now superb business partners. Apart from doing business, we find ourselves on yoga mats doing favourite asanas, or simply sit for mindfulness practice and meditation. Yoga Vietnam is a trusted name in the local yoga community, for the quality contents that we provide/share, for the quality yoga products that are brought from all around the world to our lovely store, and for the popular events that we have held for the past 3 years.

Yoga is part of our life. Once something is that important, we've got to share it to others, by some ways. Hence, Yoga Vietnam started, 3 years ago, in 2015.
We are Vietnamese. Isn't it beautiful to share things in our mother tongue and to serve our own people?
4. What is the most challenging things about starting your business?
The business we are involving is spiritual business. We, the people behind it, need to be sensitive and mindful to everything we do. Talking business strictly, it is all about profit. But that is not the ultimate goal of Yoga Vietnam. We always seek the balance between growing organically and bringing the qualities that the community deserves. It means we do not always take the easiest and quickest way (though we can), but we choose to pioneer into "hard-to-chew" things that we believe will be good for the community sooner or later.
