Zografou () is a suburb of approximately 71,000 in the eastern part of the Athens agglomeration, Greece.  It was named after the Greek politician Ioannis Zografos. To the east of Zografou lies mount Hymettus. The area, being close to the centre of Athens, developed similar urban sprawl characteristics, with high-rise buildings of even 10 stories tall being the norm. The municipality is also home to the National and Kapodistrian university of Athens and National Technical university of Athens campuses and therefore, a great part of its population is university students. Zografou includes the smaller areas of Ilissia and Goudi.

Geography

Zografou is an inner suburb of Athens, located about 4 km east of Athens city centre. The municipality has an area of 8.517 km2. Towards the east the municipality extends to the forested Hymettus mountain. The built-up area of Zografou is continuous with that of mucipality of Athens. A large campus of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens is situated in Ano Ilisia, the easternmost quarter of Zografou. Ano Ilisia derived its name from the river Ilisos, which starts at St Eleousa, now in the University campus. Another quarter of Zografou is Goudi, in the northwestern part of the municipality. The main church of Zografou is consecrated to Agios Therapontas (Greek: Άγιος Θεράποντας). With Zografou having been built on the hills of Hymettus, a common sight around the suburb are some very steep uphill streets.

Transport

Zografou is served by bus lines 140 (Polygono - Glyfada),  220 (Ano Ilisia - Akadimia), 221 (Panepistimioupoli - Akadimia), 230 (Akropoli - Zografou),  235 (Zografou - Akadimia), 250 (Panepistimioupoli - Evangelismos station), 608 (Galatsi - Akadimia - Nekr. Zografou), 622 (Goudi - Ano Galatsi) and 815 (Goudi - Tavros). The eastern beltway Motorway 64 passes through the municipality.

At summer of 2029, Zografou will have 3 metro stations at Ilissia, Zografou (Gardenia Place) and Goudi.

History
After the departure of the Ottomans from the area in the 1830s, the area came into the ownership of Ioannis Koniaris, mayor of Athens from 1851 to 1854, and Leonidas Vournazos.

In 1902, Eleni Vournazos, widow of Leonidas, sells 1,250 stremmata (1 stremma equal to 1000 square meters ) of the Kouponia/Goudi area to Ioannis Zografos (died 1927), a Member of Parliament for the Nationalist Party and university professor. Dividing it into plots, he sold them for installments of 112 drachma per month. The first houses were erected in 1919. Within ten years, 100 had been built. At this time, the foundations of the Church of St. Theraponta were erected.

In 1929, the area, now known as Zografou, was split from the municipality of Athens and became an independent community. It was elevated to a municipality in 1947, its first president being Sotirios Zografos, the son of Ioannis. In 1935, the area of Kouponia (now Ano Ilisia) was incorporated into the community.

Percy Ingle confirms all sites to close
Percy Ingle Bakeries is to close its 48 sites in the East End of London and Essex by 31 March next year.
The 66-year-old business, which rebranded as Ingles last year, has confirmed earlier reports that it is to shut, stating substantial investment is required in its shops, main bakery and head office.
It pointed out that it has also faced dramatic increases in running costs including rents, rates, wages and utilities. The business had shut its stores in March, due to the coronavirus outbreak, but reopened them in May.
In its latest full-year financial statement filed at Companies House, for the year to 30 June 2018, the company reported turnover of £13.1m, up from £12.6m the previous year. It made a loss after tax of £165,000 compared to a £439,000 loss in 2017. The company attributed the loss to the "continued challenging trading environment".
"With a market that is highly competitive, a product that is exceptionally labour-intensive to make and a consumer that is highly price-conscious, it is difficult to see that we would be getting any return on such an investment on top of the many millions of pounds that have already been invested in recent years," the business said in a statement, issued today (25 June).
As a result, the company plans to to close the business on a shop by shop basis over the next year, with a proposed final trading date of 31 March 2021.
"We understand the decision to close is a substantial shock to our employees, many of whom have been with us for many years and, of course, we will help them through the closure process as much as we can.
"We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to all employees for their commitment and the dedication they have shown in the time they have been with the business."
The company added it was proud of its history of traditional baking.
"As a family business baking traditional products and serving London's East End communities for over 65 years, we would hope that the company is remembered in high regard for years to come," it stated.

Wynwood Family Photographer: Year number five!
You can take a look at all of the photo sessions in Wynwood. If you're thinking of taking photos in Wynwood and wondering what to wear: you can choose a classic look such as white and/or black like this family did (or all white), or you can go bold and wear colorful outfits like you see in this session. Either option works. The most important thing is to feel comfortable and good in what you're wearing. Check out this Pinterest board for ideas on what to wear to a photo shoot.
Check out all of the family photo sessions on the blog. This Wynwood Family Photographer session took place on a weekend in the early morning (there are less people around at this time). I have a list of some of my other favorite locations in Miami for a photo shoot. Wynwood is one of those places where you can really photograph at any time, morning, afternoon or mid-day. Just keep in mind that mid-day in the summer will be hot and humid, so come prepared with cold drinks and comfortable, breathable outfits, and maybe even a change of clothing.
The Wynwood Walls (a private, enclosed area with murals) opens at 10:30am and closes at different times depending on the day. It gets super busy, especially on weekends, but the surrounding public area of the Wynwood district is full of murals and you can find spots without lots of people – that's where we went for this session (the Walls were closed since we met up before 10am).

I photographed this family for the third time, and as usual, we had a blast. We met up for a two hour session since we were going to two different locations. We spent the first hour in the mural-covered walls of Wynwood, walking around the area and photographing at different walls. They stopped in at Ooh Raw! for smoothies (too bad The Salty Donut was closed) and then we ended up taking pictures around there since the light was really nice. We then headed back to the W Hotel South Beach to photograph on the beach. They changed their outfits, re-created a childhood photo (the one of the kids lying upside down pulling a wide, toothy grin), stacked themselves up to form a pyramid… and finally ended dancing on the beach together.
See their session from two years ago and three years ago. You can also check out their 12×12 leather album from their last photo shoot which came out really beautiful. They also chose a Tiffany-colored leather album from their first session, but I apparently didn't blog post that one.
This Wynwood Family Photographer and Beach Session took place in Miami in the afternoon a few hours before sunset. Check out all of the family photo sessions on the blog and all of the photo shoots at Wynwood. Contact me to book a family or couple session or email info@tovaphotography.com.

Kassidy Young flew in from Australia to take part in Miss Fashion Week in Miami. She previously won Miss Fashion Week Australia 2018. I was ecstatic when she posted on her facebook page that she took home the title Miss Fashion Week International 2018!! She is so deserving of it. She is smart, extremely talented, so gracious and one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. I met her and her parents in Wynwood for an urban photo shoot. She changed into different outfits in quite possibly the quickest time I've ever seen 🙂 The time flew by very quickly – Wynwood has so many walls with murals that you can spend quite a bit of time wandering the area for different backgrounds.

This Aspiring Cardiac Nurse Celebrates Her 1 year anniversary since her heart transplant ›
This Aspiring Cardiac Nurse Celebrates Her 1 year anniversary since her heart transplant
A former Norfolk State University undergrad reflects on the time she almost died.
Ahniaelyah Spraggs
Jataria Johnson
Jataria Johnson, who many know as NuNue or Newskii, was just 16 years old when she was diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, a condition in which the heart doesn't pump blood as well as it should. This condition can run in the family, as it did in Johnson's case.
"It's like a heart problem. Just like people with asthma have trouble breathing, I have heart problems," Johnson said.
Despite her cardiologist recommending that she get a heart transplant, Johnson refused to do so at such a young age because she didn't think her heart was that bad.
"I wanted to do what most teens do which is work and party. I just looked forward to enjoying my high school career," Johnson said.
In August 2016 Johnson started school at Norfolk State University, a nearly 3 hour drive away from her hometown of Farmville, Virginia. However, it wasn't long before her health became worse.
"I was suffering. I had like six hospital visits," Johnson said.
Johnson said she did not want to worry her mother, so she did not confide in her mother until it was time for her to go to the hospital. However, Johnson said at her last visit to Sentara Norfolk General, the doctors told her that there were spots on her lungs and they believed it was a blood clot. It was then, that Johnson returned home for the spring semester.
March 2017 Johnson said she began experiencing really bad cramps in her stomach one day and she told her mom. At the time, Johnson's mother thought it was an appendicitis and recommended that Johnson go to the hospital.
"At that point, I was tired of going to the hospital. I didn't want any more bad news, " Johnson said.
Johnson was at Centra Southside Community Hospital for several hours before being transported to Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical Center where she was told that she was dying. Johnson said the doctor told her that her heart was pulling blood from all of her other organs to pump properly. Initially, Johnson was sent home with an IV drip but when she returned, she was told once more that her heart was failing.
May 2017 Johnson was given bridge-to-transplant therapy. As a part of her therapy, Johnson used a left ventricular assist device, which is a battery-operated, mechanical heart pump. Johnson said she used the LVAD for three weeks before getting a call on May 30, 2017 that someone, who Johnson didn't know due to confidentiality, had donated a new heart for Johnson.
"I cried from 1 p.m. until 7 a.m., when I got to the hospital," Johnson said.
Though most people usually have two hours to make it to the hospital when they get a call for a heart transplant before the next person on the list is called, Johnson said her experience was different because she has the rare blood Type AB-positive.
May 31, 2017 at 3 a.m. Johnson underwent surgery.
"During the process of a transplant, all of your organs are shut down and you're basically dead," Johnson said.
Following surgery, Johnson said patches and a rotating machine was used to awaken her organs again. After regaining her strength, Johnson recovered from her transplant within three weeks. Her doctors were shocked as that was the fastest recovery for a transplant they had ever seen and most people are in the hospital for a month or two. Johnson said she also became very thirsty and began urinating a lot. Soon after, Johnson found out she had diabetes.
Johnson said today she is doing better and takes insulin for her diabetes. December 2019 Johnson will be graduating from Centra College of Nursing a registered nurse. Throughout her journey, she said faith took her a long way, she developed a lifestyle she called "Bounce Back Nu," and she said her career goal changed.
"I used to want to be a pediatric nurse. Now I want to be a cardiac nurse. It inspired me how much technology and medicine changed my whole life around," Johnson said.
Johnson has no regrets about not getting her transplant when she was 16.
To anyone that has been diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure, Johnson said, "I feel like you shouldn't worry as much because it's different levels to it. My case was different from my mom's. In my case, the medicine wasn't working and my heart percentage was declining. Just live your best life and take your medicine as you should."

Ex-officer Amber Guyger testifies that she wishes Botham Jean 'was the one with the gun who had killed me'
By: CNN Wire
DALLAS – Amber Guyger, the ex-Dallas police officer charged with killing a 26-year-old man in his own apartment while she was off duty, broke down on the witness stand Friday, saying she believed she'd entered her own home and thought the man she encountered was going to kill her.
"I hate that I have to live with this every single day of my life," Guyger cried as she testified in her own defense.
"I ask God for forgiveness, and I hate myself every single day … I wish he was the one with the gun who had killed me. I never wanted to take an innocent person's life."
Guyger, who's charged with murder in the death of Botham Jean, struggled to maintain her composure most of the day. She even turned to the victim's family in the back of the courtroom and sobbingly apologized for what she had done.
Jean's family was largely stoic during a day of emotional testimony. Some occasionally shook theirs heads and whispered among each other and their lawyers.
Guyger's sister and mother sat in court, each holding tissues in their hands, but rarely growing emotional as the former police officer testified that she was "scared to death" at discovering the apartment door "cracked open" and a silhouetted figure in the darkness inside.
Guyger testified she was still in uniform when she drew her service weapon and shouted: "Let me see your hands! Let me see your hands!"
The silhouetted figure moved toward her in a "fast-paced walk," she said. She couldn't see the person's hands.
"Hey, hey, hey," she said the person shouted, and she pulled the trigger.
Guyger had earlier been asked by one of her lawyers to describe the way she approached the door to what she thought last September was her apartment.
"I want to go through a few things that happened at that door with you now," said one of her lawyers, Toby Shook.
"Yes, sir," replied Guyger, who wore a light blue dress and a dark cardigan.
Then, Guyger's lips began to quiver as she broke down in tears while stepping down from the witness stand to demonstrate how she carried her police equipment in one hand and tried to open the door with the other.
The judge immediately called a recess, and the jury left the courtroom. If convicted, Guyger faces up to life in prison.
Guyger was trained in CPR but didn't perform it on Jean, she testifies
Guyger also testified Friday about her childhood growing up in Arlington, her affair with her married police partner and her police training. She recounted wanting to become an officer at age 6.
"I wanted to help people, and that was the one career that I could help people," she said.
Speaking about the day of the shooting, Guyger testified that she was tired on September 6, 2018, after a nearly 14-hour day and "just ready to go home" when she left work.
She said she was having an affair with another officer and had ended the relationship, even though the two shared intimate text messages. They were on the phone as she parked in the garage at home that night, she testified.
"I felt like it was morally wrong," Guyger said about her relationship with Martin Rivera, the officer.
Later Friday, Dallas County prosecutor Jason Hermus, on cross examination, sought to poke holes in Guyger's story, noting that she told responding officers that she believed it was her apartment but said nothing about Jean coming at her.
Guyger admitted under questioning by Hermus that she was trained in CPR but never performed it on the dying victim. She testified that her mind was racing, that she was on the phone with a 911 operator. She said it didn't cross her mind that she had first aid supplies in her backpack.
Still, she found time to text her partner — directly after the shooting and even sending sexual messages days later, Hermus said.
"You made choices and decisions that suited you more than him," the prosecutor said.
"No sir," Guyger responded.
Hermus noted that witnesses who were across the hall during the episode testified that they didn't hear her demand that Jean show his hands.
"I can't tell you why," she said.
"Because you didn't say that," Hermus said.
"That's not true, sir," she replied.
Hermus asked why Guyger did not back away from the apartment and call for backup instead of confronting her perceived threat. He demonstrated that she didn't conceal and cover as officers are trained to do when coming upon a burglar.
"That was the only option that went through my head," she said.
Guyger was reminded that she took an 8-hour de-escalation training course five months before the shooting.
"What did you take from that class?" the prosecutor asked.
"I don't remember," she replied.
Hermus showed video of Guyger's friends comforting her after the shooting and asked whether she could imagine what Jean felt in his final moments.
"That's what hurts," she said softly.
Jean was on the couch in his shorts, watching TV and eating vanilla ice cream, when Guyger walked in and fired, Hermus told jurors this week.
Guyger has told police she mistakenly walked into the wrong apartment and thought she saw a burglar. Guyger lived in Apartment 1378, one floor below Jean's unit.
Dallas Police fired Guyger shortly after the shooting.
Guyger should have known she was in the wrong unit, prosecutors say
Guyger missed several signs indicating she was on the wrong floor and at the wrong apartment, prosecutors argued.
Several witnesses were questioned on the differences between Guyger's and Jean's apartments in an effort to demonstrate the former should have realized she was in the wrong unit before she opened fire.
For example, Dallas police Det. Stephen Cleary pointed out that Guyger's apartment had a wooden board displaying photos hanging on the wall, a bookshelf in the corner and a small half-circle table with a vase of flowers against the wall.
The wall behind Guyger's couch was bare, the photos showed.
But Jean's apartment had art on the wall behind the couch, an ottoman and rug in the living room, and a workstation near the bar, Cleary testified.
The defense countered by pressing witnesses on the similarities in the hallways leading to their apartments.
This week, Texas Ranger David Armstrong testified that of the nearly 300 residents that investigators interviewed at the complex, nearly a quarter of those who lived in the third and fourth floors had previously put their keys in the wrong door. Even more had parked on the wrong floor and walked to the wrong apartment.
She should have focused on saving Jean but texted her partner, prosecutors say
Prosecutors also tried to show Guyger did not follow department burglar protocol for a burglary call. Guyger should have taken cover and called for backup, per protocol, at least one of her fellow officers testified.
But the defense argued since Guyger was off-duty and thought she was walking into her own home, she should not be held to that standard.
She was fatigued after working 40 hours in four days and was on "autopilot" when she parked on the wrong floor in the garage where the floors are not clearly marked, defense attorney Robert Rogers said in opening statements Monday.
As Guyger entered the apartment, she looked up and believed she saw an intruder about 30 feet from her in the dark, Rogers said.
The locking mechanism on Jean's door was damaged, Armstrong testified, affecting the door's ability to shut properly at times. Guyger's defense team said that was one of the reasons she thought someone was burglarizing her home.
But after the shooting, Guyger was derelict in her efforts to save Jean after shooting him, prosecutors said, pointing to a 911 call she made shortly before 10 p.m. in which she said 19 times she was in the wrong apartment.
"When you listen critically to what she is saying, you are going to hear that she is as concerned or more concerned about how this is going to affect her than this poor guy on the floor next to her," Hermus said.
Guyger sent two text messages to her partner on the force, whom prosecutors said she was intimate with — one at 10:02 p.m. saying, "I need you … hurry," and another a minute later saying, "I f***ed up," according to the testimony.
Authorities recovered those text messages, but Guyger allegedly deleted other messages, Hermus said. Guyger should have devoted all of her attention to providing first aid to Jean, Hermus said, instead of texting her partner.
Dallas Police officer Tu Minh Nguyen testified Thursday Jean was "still alive" when officers started doing CPR, but his condition was "very faint" and he could be heard making grunting noises, the officer said.

For eight years Maggie Clarke had pressed the city's department of transportation to come up with a plan to make cycling safer on Washing Height's main drag. Finally this June, the department of transportation presented its proposal at a Community Board and Clarke was elated with what she heard: bike lanes in each direction, protected by parked cars, plus one less lane for cars.
But other residents were appalled about having to share the road with bikes. "Where are the cars?!" one resident yelled, Clarke recalled. By the time the meeting ended, Clarke said, "We didn't even scratch the surface on what's going to help bicyclists."
This meeting is held at the end of June 2016. It has been eight years since Clarke and other Washington Heights and Inwood residents first asked for infrastructure on Dyckman Street to slow down traffic. At the end of the meeting, the proposal is postponed portraying the constant pushback between the residents and the board and the board and the department of transportation in Northern Manhattan.
Today Dyckman is a four-lane road (two lanes for traffic in each direction). The lane next to the sidewalk is dedicated to parked cars. The proposal seeks to change Dyckman to a two-lane road (one lane for traffic in each direction). Next to the parked cars a five-foot bike lane will be drawn on the street.
"It [bike lane] might cause a few inconveniences," said Yani Yapor, a sales person at Furniture Place on Dyckman and a Washington Heights resident. "We would get around it. There is no problem if the bike lanes are drawn."
Back in 2008, Clarke and Daniel O'Neil, a resident of Inwood, created Inwood and Washington Heights Livable Streets. The group advocated for safer street infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians i.e. bike lanes protected on both sides by parked cars or shrubbery and on longer crosswalks, a raised sidewalk in the middle where an individual can stop.
Livable Streets presented a traffic-calming proposal to the board three times in 2008. The new design consisted of the sidewalk, a two-directional bike lane, a buffer of greenery, a four-way road, parking and the sidewalk.
(Proposed Dyckman redesign by Inwood and Washington Heights Livable Streets)
"The reason why we don't like bike lanes is because they narrow streets," said Ebenezer Smith, the District Manger of Community Board 12. "In this district, we have a culture of driving and we need parking."
According to the 2009-2013 American Census Survey, only 21 per cent of Inwood and Washington Heights residents own a car but a part of the community believes cars are a central characteristic of the neighborhood.
Livable Streets continued to push for bike lanes. But after multiple presentations to the board in a three-year span, the group disbanded. Clarke says the constant denial from the board and inner conflict on how to proceed contributed to the falling out.
The board announced a bike lane forum to involve the community in 2011, which brought overwhelming support and interest. At the next meeting, the board approved a resolution asking the city to look into bike lanes in the neighborhood.
"We want the Department of Transportation over the next few months to really take time to look at our community, to see what exists right now, to improve on that which exists," wrote community board member of the Traffic and Transportation committee Yosef Kalinsky. "And to think about where things can be improved to enhance those that prefer to cycle in our community to make it safe for all people on the street."
Since 2011 the Department of Transportation proposed and completed bike lanes in Northern Manhattan but all below Dyckman Street. Not until Maggie Clarke was sitting in the board meeting this past June did the Greenway Dyckman Connector receive an official proposal.
"The Dyckman Street Bike Lane project is the result of requests from the Community Board 12 in 2011 and the collaborative work [that] the Department of Transportation did with the local community to implement bike safety projects," said a spokesperson of the Department of Transportation.
According to the minutes of the Dyckman proposal meeting, the board postponed the proposal on the grounds of the new design creating more chaos than calm since the bike lanes from other avenues feeding onto Dyckman would not be continuous and the possibility of parking spots decreasing.
"We have concerns," said Smith, the District Manger. "The area is too congested. For Dyckman, we told them [the department of transportation] they need to figure out the delivery for businesses, city wide, not just in our district but it needs to be regulated."
They also questioned whether there would be penalties for double-parking when there is just one lane of moving traffic. Currently Dyckman businesses rely on double-parking so their customers and delivery trucks can double-park without creating traffic jams since there is a second travel lane.
"They [bike lanes] are going to take some parking spots," said Manny Munos, the assistant manger of 809 Sangria Bar and Grill, a restaurant on Dyckman Street. "It would definitely be an issue for us because our customers can't park."
Yet the proposal writes legal parking will not be affected.
"It's like an invitation, here is your double parking lane, we painted it green for you," said Clarke regarding the proposal.
The board postponed the proposal but promises to come up with a better one soon. They said they would hold a workshop in the fall where Washington Heights and Inwood residents can propose new design changes for Dyckman Street.
The board still has not announced when the workshop will be held.

Telecom consolidation: Telenor India to merge operations with Bharti Airtel
Salman SH
Airtel today announced that it has entered into an agreement with Telenor South Asia Investments Pte Ltd to acquire Telenor India for an undisclosed amount. The proposed acquisition will transfer of all of Telenor India's assets, licenses, and customer base of 44 million into Airtel including Telenor's active operations in 7 circles— Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Gujarat, UP (East), UP (West) and Assam. Both companies had entered into discussions last month, and that time an ET Now report pegged the size of the deal at $350 million. Airtel is set to acquire close to 43.4 MHz of additional spectrum in the 1800 MHz band through the acquisition deal. Airtel will additionally take over all outstanding spectrum payments and other operational contracts, including tower lease contracts. Telenor India's operations and services will continue to operate independently until the completion of the transaction. The acquisition is subject to regulatory approvals from the department of telecommunications and Competition Commission of India and is expected to close within the next 12 months. Note that during Q4 2016, Telenor lost 689,000 subscribers and another 185,000 users in Q3 2016 post launch of Jio. At that time, the company mentioned that it was evaluating options in India. Telenor India also skipped 2016 spectrum auctions stating that the reserve prices did not give "an acceptable level of return." Airtel's acquisitions Bharti Airtel, on the other hand, has been focusing on 4G expansion to keep up with Jio. During 2016 auctions, Airtel acquired 173.8 MHz worth of spectrum. Recently it completed acquiring 20 MHz…

Q: Adding Nuget Package Transformations from project file I am trying to add Nuget Package transformations which I want to create from project file.
I tried few things like creating a content folder and adding it to my project as explained in https://docs.nuget.org/create/transforming-configuration-files-using-dottransform-files but was not able to add keys to project config files after package installation.
Workaround it to create a folder structure as explained in the above url. So I created a folders like content for transform files, lib for dlls/assemblies and it is working. But I think that this is more manual process.
Is there a way to create nuget package transformations using project file?

A: Just add to your root files for transformations like:

*

*web.config.transform

*web.Release.config.transform

*web.Debug.config.transform

On update NuGet (from 2.6 version) will automatically transform your config files. You can even add XSD schema transformations.
Do not forget to mark *.transform files as Content and Do not copy in file properties.

Todd Williams
Todd Williams column: The best players chase the game
Skills: Jamie Dwyer practised for hours as a junior
The upcoming men's and women's Junior World Cups will provide players with an important lesson about succeeding at the international level. Players from big hockey countries like England will realise that while a long, well-funded preparation provides an advantage, it doesn't guarantee that you win matches.
That still all boils down to how good your players are on the day and whether they believe they can win.
Young players aiming for this level can benefit from an important part of that lesson now.
No matter which country the top players at each JWC come from, they all will have "chased" the game, using their ability and talent to work out a path to a level higher than anyone else.
Plenty of other players will have had the same sort of coaching and been at as many training sessions but these players will have developed their game at their own, faster pace and not been content to go along at everyone else's.
Anyone lucky enough to have heard the stories from the very best players will recognise this.
Jamie Dwyer attributes much of his ball carrying skill to hours of practice as a junior on grass in Rockhampton. Barry Middleton, right, tells similar stories of his days at Doncaster and recently I listened to Laura Unsworth recount her early days inspired by Jane Sixsmith at Sutton Coldfield.
The key point from each of them was that starting from an early age they've always wanted to get better. Most importantly, they maintained that desire even amid the distractions that come when talented players start to get recognised.
In order to avoid these distractions, players might want to think about three golden rules.
The first is the need to recognise that training, whether that is with school, club or a regional session, is the hockey that is given to you.
The hockey you chase is the practice time you spend in your back garden perfecting your hit or developing a dummy in the corridor or watching what the best international players do on YouTube.
Of course it can also be extra time on your school or club pitch but it doesn't have to be.
The second rule is one from my own experience. In my time at the Australian Institute of Sport, players were given the same lecture in the first week of every new year. In no uncertain terms it was explained that the chance of you not getting better after training 300 or so times with the best players in the country was, frankly, pretty slim. If you wanted to be selected for Australia however, you had to be a really good player who could also offer something special.
Scoring goals or making great passes are obvious examples, but equally it could be winning ball in the midfield or trapping in the defensive circle or winning PCs. The rule of thumb is that if it's something the opposition might mention in their team talk then you're probably on the right track.
The final rule is understanding that selection doesn't make you a better player. If you couldn't trap very well on your reverse the day before a team was selected, it won't have fixed itself the day after when you are named in the team. Needless to say, that new kit doesn't fix the problem either. Compare that to another wonderful anecdote from Dwyer and his determination to improve his less than proficient tackling. Even though he was already a five-time world player of the year, he started by working with Under-18 players at his club in Perth. There's no room for ego if you really want to be the best.

3.38 Sacks per game have been averaged by the Houston defense this season, the fifth-best figure in the nation entering the bowl season. Auburn has allowed an average of 1.83 sacks per game in 2021.
4 Consecutive bowl losses for Houston. The Cougars most recently won a bowl on Dec. 31, 2015, when Houston defeated Florida State 38-24 in the Peach Bowl. Since then the Cougars have lost in the Las Vegas Bowl, Hawaii Bowl, Armed Forces Bowl and New Mexico Bowl.
4 Victories in seven appearances in the Birmingham Bowl for SEC members. South Carolina lost to South Florida 46-39 in overtime on Dec. 29, 2016, in the conference's most recent appearance in the game. Before that, the SEC had a four-year winning streak in the game -- Ole Miss defeated Pittsburgh 38-17 on Jan. 5, 2013; Vanderbilt defeated Houston 41-24 on Jan. 4, 2014; Florida defeated East Carolina 28-20 on Jan. 3, 2015; and Auburn defeated Memphis 31-10 on Dec. 30, 2015. The league lost its first two appearances in the game, with Connecticut beating South Carolina 20-7 on Jan. 2, 2010, and Pittsburgh beating Kentucky 27-10 on Jan. 8, 2011.
7 Consecutive Auburn bowls have been won by the team that compiled the most rushing yards. The most recent Auburn bowl in which the loser had more rushing yards than its opponent was the BCS national championship game for the 2013 season. In that game, Florida State defeated Auburn 34-31 even though the Tigers had 232 rushing yards and the Seminoles had 148.
9 Consecutive seasons have ended in bowls for Auburn, with the Tigers' trip to the Birmingham Bowl tying the school's longest bowl streak. Auburn has played in a bowl every season since 2013, when it played in the BCS national championship game. The current streak includes a 31-10 victory over Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl to cap the 2015 campaign. Auburn's previous nine-season bowl streak ran from 1982 through 1990.
10 Consecutive games with at least one TD pass for Houston QB Clayton Tune. The only game in the 2021 campaign in which Tune did not throw for a touchdown came in a 45-0 victory over Grambling State on Sept. 18. Tune had only seven passes in that game. This season, Tune has completed 261-of-381 passes for 3,263 yards with 28 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
11 Previous Auburn seasons have had the Tigers carry a .500 record into their final game. In 2015, Auburn defeated Memphis 31-10 in the Birmingham Bowl to finish 7-6. In 1895 and 1898, Auburn defeated Georgia to finish at 2-1 in each season. Of the eight instances in between, Auburn lost its final game seven times to finish the season with a losing record. Those loses came in 1938, 1941, 1977, 1980, 1981, 1991 and 1999. Auburn lost to Florida in 1938, Clemson in 1941 and Alabama the other five times. In 1923, Auburn entered its final game with a 3-3-2 record and remained at .500 by concluding the campaign with a 0-0 tie with Georgia Tech.
11 Victories, 16 losses and one tie in bowls for Houston. The Cougars have played three SEC opponents in bowls. The Cougars defeated Auburn 36-7 in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl on Dec. 31, 1969, lost to South Carolina 44-36 in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 29, 2006, and lost to Vanderbilt 41-24 in the BBVA Compass Bowl on Jan. 4, 2014.
16 TD runs for Houston RB Alton McCaskill, the most by a true freshman in the nation this season. McCaskill has 883 yards on 175 rushing attempts in 2021.
17 Completions in each of his two starts this season for Auburn by QB TJ Finley. Bo Nix had started 34 consecutive games at quarterback for the Tigers and piled up a school-record 8,120 yards of total offense before sustaining a season-ending injury. In Auburn's losses to South Carolina and Alabama to complete the regular season, Finley completed 34-of-58 passes for 325 yards with three TDs and one interception.
20 Victories and 47 losses for Houston against SEC opponents. The Cougars most recently played an SEC opponent on Oct. 31, 2015, when Houston defeated Vanderbilt 34-0.
25.6 Percent of the third-down snaps by Houston's opponents became first downs this season, giving the Cougars' the best third-down defense in the nation entering the bowl season. Auburn's offense converted 41.7 percent of its third-down snaps into first downs in 2021.
28 Receptions for John Samuel Shenker in 2021 to tie the Auburn single-season record for a tight end. Fred Baxter established the mark in 1991, and Robert Johnson tied in 2002. With 359 receiving yards, Shenker needs 33 to surpass Baxter's Auburn tight end record of 391 in 1991.
45 Previous bowl appearances have been made by Auburn. The Tigers have a 24-19-2 bowl record. Auburn has lost its past two bowl appearances – falling to Minnesota 31-24 in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 1, 2020, and Northwestern 35-19 in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1, 2021. The Tigers' most recent bowl victory is a 63-14 rout of Purdue in the Music City Bowl on Dec. 28, 2018.
48 Years since the previous time that Auburn and Houston squared off. The Tigers topped the No. 12 Cougars 7-0 on Oct. 27, 1973, in their most recent meeting. Auburn has a 5-1 record against Houston, with the lone loss coming in their only previous bowl meeting. No. 17 Houston defeated No. 12 Auburn 36-7 in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl on Dec. 31, 1969. Auburn's 48-7 victory on Oct. 26, 1957, is Houston's most-lopsided home loss.

Since defeating Ole Miss 31-20 on Oct. 30, the Tigers have lost to Texas A&M, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Alabama.
103 Previous games for Auburn in Birmingham. The Tigers have a 43-57-3 record in the Magic City.
165 Consecutive games without having a punt blocked for Auburn, the longest active streak in the nation. Houston has blocked more punts than any team in the nation with four. The most recent team to block a punt against Auburn was Mississippi State in the Tigers' 49-24 victory on Sept. 12, 2009.
269 Consecutive games without being shut out for Houston, the eighth-longest active streak in the nation. Houston's most recent shutout loss came 48-0 to Texas on Sept. 23, 2000.

Here are the fundamental steps for successful low-pressure crack injection. Keep in mind, however, that the kind of epoxy or polyurethane used and the time required for injection will vary with each job depending on the crack width, wall thickness, and other circumstances.
Install injection ports: Surface Ports (short rigid-plastic tubes with a even base) serve as helpful entryways for getting the repair material into the crack. They remove the requirement to drill into the concrete, reducing labor time and cleanup. The base of the port is placed directly over the crack and bonded to the surface with an epoxy paste. A general rule-of-thumb is to space the ports an inch apart for each inch of wall thickness.
Seal the surface: Use an epoxy adhesive (such as Emecole 301) to seal on top of the exterior ports and exposed cracks. The paste cures in about 20 to 45 minutes to provide a surface seal with excellent bond characteristics that holds up under injection pressures. The total exposed crack is enclosed with the paste, leaving only the port holes uncovered.
Inject the crack: Start injecting at the lowest port on the wall and continue until the epoxy or urethane begins to ooze out of the port above it. That's the visual sign that the crack has been packed to that level. Cap the first port with the cap provided and go up to the next port, repeating this process until the entire crack has been packed with epoxy or urethane. Allow the compression spring on the dispensing tool push the material into the crack using slow, constant pressure. This will diminish the possibility of leaks or blow-outs and permit time for the repair material to completely infiltrate the crack.
Remove the ports: Allow 24 to 48 hours at room temperature for the epoxy or polyurethane to cure and pierce into the cracks. The injection ports can then be detached by striking them with a trowel or hammer. If appearance is an issue, the epoxy surface seal can be chipped away or ground off with a sanding disk. An additional alternative is to employ a surface seal that can merely be peeled off the wall after the repair is completely cured. Emecole manufactures a polyurea-based seal that develops a durable sufficient bond to allow the injector to accomplish the work, but is flexible and can be peeled away when the job is done.

Overview: The most successful International player in NBA history. Has ridiculous size for his skill set, and solid athleticism to match. The native German is as versatile a player as there is in the game today. Has played in six All-Star games. Won the NBA MVP in 2007. Has improved in little ways throughout the latter part of his career. Doesn't always play with the same intensity, and lacks of a bit of a killer instinct, but his focus has improved during each of his seasons in the League.
Offense: Gets about a quarter of his offensive possessions as a spot up shooter, with another fifth coming from post ups. Another quarter comes from pick and rolls and isolations. Gets most of his shots as a jump shooter. Has a great stroke that is impossible for most players to block due to his size and high release point. Can knock down the three at a good clip (although his percentages are down this season) and hit fade-aways from almost any distance. Great ball handler for his size. Can bring the ball up the floor from time to time. Capable of driving off the dribble with either hand. Can take the ball all the way to the rim or dominate the midrange game. Good in the post as well. Uses a nice array of fakes to get open look underneath. Likes to turn over his right shoulder and then fade away. Can finish consistently with both hands at the rim. Draws contact well. Gets to the line at a phenomenal clip, and shoots a great percentage once there. A poor offensive rebounder for his size. Tremendous passer for his height. Can really do it all offensively. Real team player. Hard to defend as an individual. It usual takes a team effort to shut him down. Seems to get somewhat passive at the end of games.
Defense: Average defensively, but Avery Johnson has pushed him to be slightly better. Has a tough time matching up with stronger players who can score with their back to the basket. Capable of stepping out and guarding players the face up. Can step out into passing lanes when he anticipates a pass. Doesn't take as many risks as he used to. Tries to go straight up when covering post shots, but will commit a foul from time to time. Will block shots solely based on his size. Length helps his aggressiveness rebounding the ball, where he is very solid on the defensive end. Hips are somewhat stiff, which makes it difficult to move tremendously well laterally. Mostly focused on the offensive end.

As arguably the biggest non-American NBA star in this tournament on an otherwise extremely weak team, everything will start and end for Germany with Dirk Nowitzki and his ability to take over games. Although the International game is one that is based on team play more than individual matchups, look for most of Germany's offense to revolve around getting Dirk in position to use his height to get his shot off in the spots he feels comfortable scoring from, while playing off the rotations he forces and the double teams he will surely draw.
Dirk will play the power forward position for Germany as he does for the Dallas Mavericks, and will be even more of a mismatch using all of his 7 feet of height, excellent mobility and coordination to put the ball on the floor, receive the ball in the mid-high post and just shoot over the top of his man with his deft touch and high release, or stroke the three pointer when the opportunity presents itself.
More than ever, though, he will have to show that he can first and foremost hurt his matchup inside the arc before he steps outside, much like he did this past season with the Mavs. This is a terrific opportunity for Dirk to show his always improving post up game, as few players anywhere in the world can stop him when he receives the ball with his back to the basket before spotting up for a quick fadeaway jumper.
Last summer, Nowitzki went out and solidified his spot as one of the top International players ever with an incredible showing at the Eurobasket tournament in Belgrade. Nowitzki led an injury riddled German squad, which most pundits had written off as marginal candidates to even make the quarterfinals, all the way to the finals against Greece, averaging a tournament high 26 points while pulling down 10 rebounds per game.
The way he carried that team on his back, while never forcing the issue or doing anything less than making everyone around him better, truly set the standard for showing us how a legit superstar can perform on a stage like this.
With the competition stiffening here in Japan, Nowitzki will likely have to repeat his incredible form from a year ago, even though he only had just a few weeks to rest after taking his team to the NBA finals and playing no less than 111 games (including preseason) in 9 months. Fatigue could play a big part in how far he can lead this German squad, since they'll need every drop of energy he'll be able to muster up for them.
One reason for that is since helping his team out defensively and especially on the glass will be a must for Germany to reach the advanced stages of the tournament. Despite the challenged involved with playing with such a weak supporting cast, Dirk will also have to make his teammates better. No one wins games by themselves in the International game, but Germany and Nowitzki will come about as close as you can get.

Although it is not possible that the side effects of Xanax can occur in every other person who is taking the drug, but it will be best if you take these into notice before using the drug.
Forgetting things
Change in the speech (slurred speech)
Problem in coordination
Feeling relaxed and calm
Feeling clumsy and uneasy
Trouble in falling asleep
These were some of the widely known side effects of Xanax. Apart from these, there are other side effects of Xanax that are less commonly known by the people but do occur at times. These can also be stated as rare side effects of Xanax –
Pain in the abdominal part
Sudden change in behavior
Getting chills
Confusion in the mind
Difficulty while moving
Having fear or nervousness
Feeling of discomfort
Tightness in the chest
Fast or irregular heartbeats
Feeling jittery
Numbness of the body parts
Decreased awareness
Getting nightmares
Twitching or uncontrolled movements
Swelling up of lips or tongue
Yellowish eyes or the pupil
Actions that are uncontrolled
These were the side effects that can be seen once a patient has started the use of Xanax. It is suggested that the patients should take Xanax dose only after consulting it with the doctor. Taking a dose on your own may result in various adverse effects that can lead to risk for life.
Patients who want to be treated with anxiety should start the dose of Xanax with a minimum volume. For example – start with an initial dose of 0.25mg or 0.5mg Xanax and take it three times a day after consulting it with your doctor. Treatment of a panic disorder in patients requires a dose of more than 4mg a day. Xanax when interacting with alcohol, it will make the person feel more dizzy and sleepy. Not just alcohol but also other sedatives, narcotic medicines, muscle relaxers, or any antibiotic when came in contact with Xanax, can cause severe problems. You should inform your doctor if you have been taking any medication from before or dietary supplements as well.
Consumption of alcohol should immediately be stopped as you start taking the drug. Xanax falls under the Benzodiazepines that can cause fetal abnormalities. Hence, women who are pregnant are advised not to use this drug. Xanax is also tested to be excreted in human milk; mothers who are breastfeeding also avoid the use of it for the child's healthy growth.
As we know by now, that is used for treating symptoms of anxiety and panic attack related disorders. People have been making the wrong use of the drug by taking it without even giving a second thought to its content and the side effects that may occur. This is strictly mentioned at every platform that Xanax is a prescription drug and should only be taken as per the doctor's advice. Taking this drug without a prescription can result in life-threatening aftereffects.
There are many people in the United States who have been taking this drug for symptoms that are not even related to anxiety. This can be a reason that people start the use of Xanax and get addicted to it because it was not prescribed to them. When you are taking a drug, there can are chances that you'll get addicted to it. Xanax is Benzodiazepine that is quite effective and takes less than 30 minutes to show its effect on the body.

Fraudulent e-mails pretending to be an executive of TEAC or TEAC group company
We have been aware that some fraudulent e-mails attempt to pretend to be an executive of our group companies and request remittances be made.
Please take various preventive measures at your entity as follows:
Typical fraudulent e-mails
Requesting remittance according to the remittance instruction or the invoice attached to an e-mail sent from a person pretending to be CEO/CFO or another person at the executive level of TEAC group companies.
An e-mail or attached invoice, originally sent from TEAC group companies, has been tampered with and requires remittance to an account different from the account designated by TEAC group companies.
If you are requested to remit differently from normal billing/payment practices, please confirm the facts by means other than e-mail, e.g. phone call or fax, whenever possible, before remittance, and if you cannot confirm it, hold it. Followings are sample cases:
Receiving an e-mail to amend a deposit account or name of account holder
Receiving an e-mail to amend a deposit account from a third party such as a middleman
Receiving an e-mail with an e-mail address which is not an official address of that entity
Receiving an e-mail of remittance request with a header of "urgent" or "confidential"
When replying to a suspicious e-mail by e-mail, please use the "Forward" function instead of "Reply" and re-enter the correct e-mail address written on our business card etc. so as to check the destination.
Adopt security measures such as introducing anti-virus tools to PCs used for communication with our group companies.

How to convert BatchNorm weight of caffe to pytorch BathNorm?
We select test_iter=4 carefully so that it will perform testing on nearly all the validation dataset (there are 284 validation samples, a little larger than 4*64).
This will gives us a list of .caffemodel and .solverstate files. For example, we may have solver_iter_300.solverstate and solver_iter_300.caffemodel. When generating these two files, we can also see the training loss (13.7466) and validation loss (2.9385).
We can see the training loss and validation loss are 12.6 and 2.99 respectively. They are different from before. Any ideas? Thanks.
VideoCapture (IP camera/video) could not be opened for path: '..\videoscurls.mp4'. If it is a video path, is the path correct?
C:\Users\BioHelwan\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\fromnumeric.py:2957: R                         untimeWarning: Mean of empty slice.
Exercise arm detected as: left.
I'm doing a CNN regression task with caffe. My inputs are 112x112 images, labeled with continual scores from 0 to 1. I chose a Face Recognition Network as a base network and finetune the dataset using EuclideanLoss. When testing the model, no matter which image I chose as input, the output score was around 0.80.
From beginning, I thought it was my dataset's problem. My dataset's labels was most at [0.7, 0.85], and this may cause imbalance in training dataset. Then I chose a small dataset. The labels were from 0.5 to 0.9 and each label contains nearly the same number of images. However, the result didn't change, the output score was around 0.72.
The train log was too long, so I just picked some import result as below. I have trained nearly 200k iteration and learning rate decreased to 0.000001, the min loss was 0.002 and did't decrease anymore.
The network I used was complex enough, causing I trained Face Recognition and reached 98% LFW accuracy based on it. Can someone help me find where may be wrong?
The two BatchNorm acts differently. I also tried to set conv3_final_bn.weight=1 and conv3_final_bn.bias=0 to verify the BN layer of caffe, the results didn't match either.
How should I deal with the wrong matching?

ffgap Sounds from the outer rim of the universe Favorite track: Judicious.
The Wizard of WOO is Back & Bad as Ever!!
Released in 2010, this solo project by Bernie Worrell, "I Don't Even Know" is a collection of self-produced funk, jazz, soul, hip-hop, and a lot that of what's in between. As a founding member of P-Funk, you expect any collection of more than 2 or 3 tracks by the Wizard of WOO to be pretty much unclassifiable, and the title of this album pretty much confirms it.


In Agua Caliente Band of Mission Indians v. County of Riverside, 442 F.2d 1184 (9th Cir. 1971), we held that this very tax is permissible. Plaintiff argues that our cursory preemption analysis there is clearly irreconcilable with White Mountain Apache Tribe v. Bracker, 448 U.S. 136 (1980), and therefore not controlling. See Miller v. Gammie, 335 F.3d 889, 893 (9th Cir. 2003) (en banc) (permitting a three-judge panel to depart from circuit precedent if, but only if, that precedent is clearly irreconcilable with a later Supreme Court or en banc decision). We disagree.

Microbial/host interactions in health and disease: who controls the cytokine network?
Henderson B1, Poole S, Wilson M.
Maxillofacial Surgery Research Unit Eastman Dental Institute for Oral Health Care Sciences, University College London, UK. b.henderson@eastman.ucl.ac.uk
The interacting cellular and molecular systems which we classify as immunity and inflammation evolved to protect the organism from exogenous parasites including viruses and bacteria. Cytokines play a pivotal, but paradoxical, role both in immunity and inflammation. These local peptide hormone-like molecules form a major arm of the organisms, defenses against infectious microorganisms but they are also implicated as potent mediators of the pathology of infectious diseases. The apparently lethal effects of interleukin-1 and tumor necrosis factor in experimental septic shock testify to the latter. In the current paradigm, cytokine induction, as a protective or pathological mechanism, is a direct response to the presence of infectious microorganisms. Evidence is now accumulating that cytokines play a much more complex role in the interplay between exogenous microorganisms and the host. For example, it has been established that viruses have evolved pro-active methods of subverting the cytokine network by producing: (i) soluble cytokine receptors which bind and inactivate cytokines, (ii) immunomodulatory cytokine homologues, and (iii) ICE inhibitors. The possibility exists that the major role of these 'viral cytokines' is to neutralize certain host responses. Recent cytokine transgenic knockouts demonstrate that the normal benign response to commensal gut microflora becomes a lethal inflammatory state in the absence of the cytokines interleukin 2 or interleukin 10. The human body contains an enormous number of microorganisms which constitute the normal microflora. It is estimated that the average human contains 10(13) eukaryotic cells but 10(14) bacteria. We propose that the ability of the multicellular organism to live harmoniously with its commensal microflora must depend on mutual signalling involving eukaryotic cytokines and prokaryotic cytokine-like molecules. Such interactive signalling sets up non-inflammatory cytokine networks in tissues which form the background on which responses to infectious microorganisms must be built and related. The capacity of bacteria to induce cytokine synthesis was believed to be due to a small number of components, such as lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is only active as a complex with host factors (lipopolysaccharide binding protein and CD14). However, it is now clear that bacteria contain and produce a large number of diverse molecules which can selectively induce the synthesis of both pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory cytokines. Many toxins are potent inducers of cytokine release or synthesis and some can inhibit LPS-induced cell activation. We have introduced the term bacteriokine to describe these bacterial cytokine inducers. The question that has to be addressed therefore is - who controls the cytokine network (eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells) and how is it controlled? It is proposed that an understanding of this question will bring with it an understanding of how to control the pathological inflammatory response and may allow the development of truly effective anti-inflammatory agents.

Blue Blooded American Businessman Fights Anti-Flag Leftists, Gets Hit With A Massive Fine
Jessica Hardy October 17, 2019
The City of Statesville, North Carolina has slapped an RV dealership with multiple fines reaching an outrageous total and growing.
All because the dealership refuses to take down an American flag. The CEO says he refuses to pack down and that this is 'personal to him' siting that his family immigrated to this country and he is proud to be here.
Camping World posted a message to its Facebook page on Saturday saying the city has filed an injunction against Camping World, fining the company $50 per day going back to Oct. 15, 2018. That totals nearly $11,000.
The company said it flies the 40-by-80-foot flag outside of its Gander RV location as a way of paying tribute to the country's military veterans. The city had compromised last year by allowing an exemption for a larger flag than what city ordinance permits, but not the size that Camping World was seeking.
The company chose to fly the flag anyway and Camping World's CEO has pushed for a change of the ordinance.
An online petition has also been started at Change.org in support of the company keeping the flag flying. As of Monday morning, more than 7,900 people had signed the petition.
The city's lawsuit claims a flag within 100 feet of a highway cannot be larger than 25 by 40 feet.
The company's CEO told Channel 9 similar flags are up at more than 200 stores across the country, including several cities in North Carolina, none of which have had any problems with them.
"I don't care if it goes to $500 a day. It's not coming down," Marcus Lemonis, CEO and chairman of Camping World and Gander RV, said.
Lemonis said it's personal to him.
"My family has been car dealers, had been car dealers since the 1960s, and our key trademark was always flying our flag in our dealership in South Florida," he said. "My family is largely immigrants of the country."
Camping world's message on their Facebook page in full:
"The City of Statesville, North Carolina has filed a lawsuit seeking an injunction to require Gander RV in Statesville, NC to take down their American Flag. They are imposing a $50/day fine retroactive to 10/15/18.
Many cities like Statesville have requested that Camping World and Gander Outdoors take down their American Flags. WE WON'T DO IT! Stand with us.
This is about more than just the flag. This is about our Veterans, Military, and the men and women that have sacrificed for this great country. They are the reason we fly the flag and they are the reason we will NOT take it down! Sign the petition – http://chng.it/9NstTr8nCS.
#americanflag #veterans #usa #freedom"
How sad is it that so many people have faced scrutiny for displaying patriotism by flying the American flag? This is still America, right? Democrats haven't turned us into Venezuela 2.0, yet so what person in their right mind would enforce such a law?
