Episode 148 — Stereotypes in Sitcoms
By admin, May 10, 2013 in Yo, Is This Racist?
Andrew Ti & special guest Joselyn Hughes solve Friday by discussing how stereotypes are the easiest type of comedy, the pressure to be down with all stereotypes, and the difference between the audiences of "2 Broke Girls" & "Girls." As always, leave us a message about anything you think is racist at (323) 389-RACE.

who are these people in Chicago and Detroit who have never seen a black person?
This woman's take on "Girls" is fucking stupid. The reason people were pissed about "Girls" is because white women were pushing Dunham's view as the voice of a generation and that it was so groundbreaking, blah, blah, blah. But to everyone else who didn't have white skin, it was the same story that has already been told -- the trials and tribulations of well-to-do white women in the big city. Its no different than "Sex and the City," save that one of the main characters isn't conventionally attractive. There was one really stupid critic who tried to use the fact the Dunham was heavy set as a check off of body diversity and racial diversity (because every black woman is heavy).
And yes, nothing happens in a vacuum. So the fact that she was the offspring of a pair of New York art world celebs, and then goes on to get her own show ripped from the pages of her diary is infuriating. Don't sell that shit to me or anyone else as "groundbreaking" or "revolutionary". It's the ramblings of the upper class. It doesn't reflect the real world because she has never had to live in the real world.

So the people who write the jokes are not racist/sexist (because they are your friends and you know them). They are just being forced to be racist/sexist by everyone in the midwest? Awesome.
"girls" is fucking awful and i hate how toothless andrew is on the podcast versus his website. i couldn't get through this episode. if someone's defense of "girls" being white-washed is "lena dunham is just writing her reality" then go one inception level up and question her reality and whether it is one that merits all this dumb "voice of a generation" talk.

The ones with their eyes closed. Shit b real in Chiraq.
one of the main characters isn't conventionally attractive.
One?
I would watch a show about how you punched all the racists in literature class, Shariq.
You ask this like the answer is already determined in your favor but - to view the world through two shows Donald Glover is in - which is the more accurate representation of the racial make-up of American social cohorts: Girls or Community?
yo here is an accurate representation of my posts *makes a fart sound with my mouth for 10 seconds* ha ha sike who cares about community girls is awful

This is the first Yo, Is This Racist I could not finish. As a Chicagoan, I cannot understand the absolute scorn for our city this week, this impression being put forward that all Chicagoans are podunk ignorant racists. Perhaps that is the small segment of our city your guest was acquainted with, but it is simply not representative of the whole city or the Midwest. Very frustrating and a little hurtful toward your Midwest listeners.

For a podcast that points out ignorant broad sweeping generalizations, I was pretty disappointed to hear the ones made in this podcast. I'm glad to see this already pointed out. I felt I should chime in as well.
I am a faithful Earwolf listener from Arkansas and it's disappointing to be grouped into a gigantic band of "racists/etc."
Man, if your main complaint about a podcast that is devoted to social justice is that your hometown city looks and sounds racist it is probably because it is racist. Yes, Chicago is just like every other major city in this country. It is racist. It is segregated into "white" areas and "black" areas. There is a history of disenfranchisement of minority peoples. That shit didn't just go way when you were born. It didn't disappear when Barack Obama was elected president.
Hell, if Chicago isn't racist, like you say, then why is the Southside of Chicago still majority black. Has the same percentage of the black population as it did when your city forebearers red-lined that district for "the negroes." What it sounds like is that you want to continue the racist practices of your city forebearers and take credit for being "progressive". Can't do it, son. You have to choose one or the other, and the majority of Chicagoans chose to keep those racist traditions, institutions, practices in place.
This isn't "Yo, is this a sweeping generalization?" This is "Yo, is this racist?" Racism not just about stereotypes, it is about practices, institutions, and the power dynamic that keeps minority people oppressed. And you're from Arkansas, where the governor brought troops in to keep black kids from going to school. This is also the same state that elected this man.

The problem isn't them calling Chicago racist so much as that in early podcasts I remember someone talking about how New York isn't racist because you have so many people mixed together. Which is total bullshit--I mean having different races may make it less racist than most areas of the USA, but it still has the same segregation by neighborhood as any other big city, with the white people generally living in the richest areas. If their point was that New York may still be racist, but is still relatively better than most of the country, fine... but then isn't the same true of Chicago, LA, etc.?
I also think it would have been interesting to have a discussion about how racism works in Chicago specifically, but that never happened. Listening to them talk it sounded like neither of them knew jack shit about Chicago.
The problem isn't them calling Chicago racist so much as that in early podcasts I remember someone talking about how New York isn't racist because you have so many people mixed together.
Njrefugee's problem was that they called Chicago racist and he felt that the city wasn't racist, blah, blah, blah. But Andrew is pretty quick to call out every major city in the U.S. as being racist, some just less so than others.
Should have added that the categorization of "less" is really up to the POC in question. It's not some absolute numbering scale.
Shariq, I suppose I should clarify. My problem is not that I don't believe Chicago has problems with race and structural racism issues. It clearly does. My problem is the generalization being put forward the cities not on coasts / fly-over states have a greater level of ignorance/prejudice than NYC, LA, etc. I didn't believe it was fair to level those charges so indescriminately.
Since this is your first time, listening to the podcast, Andrew calls out all cities in the U.S. as being somewhat racist. As a POC, you can't get away from it. Refer to my previous statement that the level of racism that a particular POC will tolerate is personal preference.

Andrew you have to learn to not be afraid to talk shit on people you like. If you got a question from someone hemming and hawing like you over this kind of thing you'd take them to school.
Oh he calls out LA for being mad segregated all the the time.
uh oh Earwolf war starts on Improv4humans Episode 85.5

That's what brought me here! Someone in LA or NY pretending those cities are bastions of racial harmony and suggesting that people in Detroit have never met a black person.... Oy.... This is the first time I was so annoyed at an Earwolf podcast I had to visit it's forums to make sure folks were calling it on its crap. Is the show/guest always so clueless? Is this a good show to hate-listen to, or should I just skip it?
FUCK! 187
This is the worst podcast I have ever heard. So ignorant. Earwolf should get rid of this trash.

Q: Alter table command should skip all the empty values postgresql I'm scraping an excel sheet and pushing it to the postgresql database. While pushing, the script is assigning the 'text' datatype to all the columns. There are some datetime fields in the table, so I have to alter them in the date format. The query I wrote for the same is like this:
alter table table_name
   alter column column_name type DATE
   using to_timestamp(column_name, 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS');

The problem here is, in the excel sheet, there are some empty rows. When I fire this query, it assigns a default timestamp to the empty rows.
How can I skip the empty rows while altering the table?
Thanks in advance.

A: a select like this results in
select to_timestamp('', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS');

to_timestamp

0001-01-01 00:00:00-00:01:15 BC

to skip empty values (not null) use a nullif in your using

[2003-04-20-FWA-British Breakout Tour: Night 2] Doug Williams vs Chris Hamrick
By TonyPulis'Cap, August 15, 2020 in April 2003
chris hamrick
TonyPulis'Cap
Location:London, UK
This match is from the FWA's British Breakout Tour, which was part of the company's desire to become a more national promotion, branching out of the South coast and London area which was its base. We are in the glamorous setting of Cleethorpes on one of the nights of the tour in the North of England at the Winter Gardens, which was one of your classic British seaside music hall venues. This is very much a 'house show'/B show type card, compared to the bigger standalone shows the FWA was putting on in and around the London area.
Doug is a month on from defeating Christopher Daniels for the FWA Title at ROH Night of the Champions to begin his second reign. Worth noting at this point FWA Title matches were 2/3 falls. Hamrick would be a semi-regular for the FWA in 2003, and for this match is billed as 'representing XPW' which the FWA had a partnership with.
In the opening exchanges, Hamrick is in full stooging heel mode, trying to convince the ref Doug's used a closed fist on him behind his back. We also get a load of spots involving atomic drops, with the early stages being worked as a comedy match. It plays well to the family type crowd in attendance, but you have to think they wouldn't have gone down this route in front of the regular more hardcore FWA fanbase. What's good though is that Doug, as the top guy in the company doesn't get portrayed as an idiot, and doesn't fall for any of the mind games.
Things start to pick up with some brawling on the outside, and from there we lead to a sequence back in the ring where William's picks up the first fall with a tornado DDT. The start of the second fall sees Hamrick faking trying to leave, but again Doug isn't your standard babyface idiot and continues to be on top. With his regular tours to the US, Doug is so smooth and confident in everything he does.
One of the problems with the match however, is that every time it looks to be escalating, Hamrick rather jarringly goes back to the stooging and there's an odd sequence in which he goes for a split legged moonsault, but ends up botching it and selling that he's seriously injured. The ref calls for assistance with other wrestlers coming out, and given the old school/family seaside crowd, people seem to buy it's a real injury, but he then hops up to superkick Doug and get the second fall. Usually on a fake injury angle you don't go to the trouble of deliberately botching a move badly, but then I guess, he could've in kayfabe terms be covering the fact he's made an error and sees it as a way of working an opening? Either way, it's all a bit odd in the execution.
The final fall is more serious and moves into a more typical indie back and forth contest with Hamrick getting a series of near falls, including his top rope leg drop. However, we then get a convoluted ending with the ref being knocked down when Doug has the match won with the Chaos Theory, allowing Hamrick to hit a low blow and a piledriver (illegal in the FWA) to seemingly win the title when Head Ref Steve Lynskey runs down to count the pin…however, as you probably guess, we get the original ref waving it off – not clear if it's because he's the designated official or if it's because of the use of the banned piledriver – and restarting the match. From there, it's another Chaos Theory and Doug retains.
This ended up really disappointing me. If you've read any of my FWA reviews, you'll know I'm a huge fan of Doug Williams, who was consistently putting in excellent performances at this time, and I also like Chris Hamrick, but this is a really schizophrenic match alternating between stooging comedy and indie nearfalls, and includes both a fake injury angle and a Dusty finish that suffocates any of the good parts.

WADA prepares first Code draft and updates signatories on compliance
MONTREAL , May 19, 2012 -In accordance with the ongoing process to revise the World Anti-Doping Code, the WADA Foundation Board was advised of the progress made with the first Code draft during its May 18 meeting in Montreal, while members also approved the compliance status of a further 38 signatories.
At the Executive Committee meeting the day before, members were advised on developments with submissions and provided guidance and direction to the Code Drafting Team.
As was the case in 2006-2007, WADA's Executive Committee operates as the review committee and its input allows the Drafting Team to complete a first draft by the June 1 deadline set out in the Code Review.
Included in a series of communications was a letter sent to all WADA signatories on November 28, 2011, informing them of the start of the Review Process and encouraging them to make recommendations.
Members at both meetings heard that WADA received 91 official submissions during the first Consultation Phase, and that those submissions were comprised of 1366 individual comments.
"The Code Review is a process that we actively encourage our signatories to become engaged in so they can give feedback and guidance to WADA," said WADA President John Fahey.
"It is not WADA's Code but that of the world's anti-doping community, and for it to best reflect their wishes and needs it must be as consultative as possible.
"This review process is designed specifically for that purpose and overall we are very encouraged with the number of recommendations we have received.
"We will soon have a draft on the table which gives us something to work with and develop. Stakeholders will be sent the draft on June 1 and we will continue to seek their guidance and offer our expertise throughout the process."
The second Consultation Phase commences on June 1 and the drafting team will report again at the WADA Executive Committee and Foundation Board meetings in November, 2012.
December 1, 2012 marks the start of the third phase, while a final draft of the Code will be tabled for approval at WADA's World Conference on Doping in Sport in Johannesburg in November, 2013.
Furthermore, two consultation phases for the International Standards for Testing, Therapeutic Use Exemptions, data protection, and laboratories will run concurrently with the remainder of the Code Review.
Following approval of the Compliance Report in November of last year, WADA has continued to work closely with signatories who had not reached the required standards in terms of anti-doping rules and anti-doping programs.
Since the November Report, particular progress has been made with the National Anti-Doping Organizations (NADOs) in Africa, and a further 13 had their compliance status ratified at the Montreal meeting.
Six NADOs from Asia were also declared compliant, while seven European NADOs, three from the Americas and three from Oceania also were approved, as well as one European National Olympic Committee.
"While the Compliance Report last November was an important milestone for the world anti-doping community, WADA has continued to assist all signatories in terms of reaching compliance," added Mr. Fahey.
"We appreciate that it is not always easy to implement changes in the current economic climate, so we are delighted with the progress that has been made, especially in regions of the world that may have less resources to work with.
"WADA is here to help and it is a promising sign that this co-operation has resulted in 38 more signatories now fully on board with the Code, while progress has been made with seven others still looking to reach the required standards.
"Achieving full compliance of all signatories remains WADA's goal and we appreciate the ongoing efforts to enhance anti-doping rules and programs worldwide."
WADA's Legal Counsel gave Foundation Board and Executive Committee members an update on the status of data protection in Europe with regards to the submission of athlete information to anti-doping databases.
It was explained that the regulation on Data Protection proposed by the European Commission could be an impediment to the fight against doping in sport, and one that is a major matter for sport in general to deal with.
European government members were encouraged by the Foundation Board to make appropriate submissions and interventions during the discussion stage of the proposed legislation in order to avoid such complications.
Regional Anti-Doping Organizations (RADOs)
Both meetings were also updated on developments with RADOs following the second RADO Conference in Kuwait in late January.
The objective of the three-day conference was to identify challenges faced by RADOs and to find ways they can work together to make their strategies more effective.
An early outcome of the Conference was the creation of the RADO Ad Hoc Working Group, which held its first meeting in Lausanne six weeks later.
Included in its action plan, the Group highlighted the need for increased RADO funding to be able to operate effective testing programs, for RADOs to develop closer ties with regional authorities and International Federations, and for increased communication of the RADOs needs and aims.

COP15: China presents biodiversity framework for approval | Globalnews.ca
Chinese Environment Minister Huang Runqiu presented the proposed text of a new global agreement that would commit to protecting at least 30% of land, water and marine areas by 2030.
The draft of the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework was released this morning as delegates gather on the penultimate official day of the COP15 biodiversity conference in Montreal.
The draft framework states that 30% of lands and waters conserved should include the areas most important for biodiversity and should include recognition of Indigenous territories where appropriate.
COP15: The deadline is approaching for nature negotiations but disagreements persist
The proposed deal also includes a commitment to mobilize at least US$200 billion a year from public and private sources to fund nature, and to reduce nature-harming subsidies by at least US$500 billion by 2030.
The story continues under the ad
The final draft comes after nearly two weeks of negotiations between 196 countries that are part of the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity. They seek a new agreement to stop human destruction of nature and begin to restore what has already been lost.
The United Nations says that three-quarters of the world's land has been altered by human activities and that one million species are at risk of becoming extinct this century.
As the final hours of the talks approached, a sort of contest of gazes had erupted between developed and developing countries over how best to channel new funding for conservation efforts.
The new draft agreement proposes that developed countries commit to providing developing countries with at least $20 billion per year by 2025 and $30 billion per year by 2030.
Other goals of the agreement include reducing the impacts of pollution and invasive species, and ensuring that companies monitor and disclose the impact of their activities on biodiversity.
COP15: Guilbeault says 'Let's give nature the Parisian moment it deserves'
A closed plenary with environment ministers or their designated negotiators will take place early Sunday afternoon, where Huang will seek approval of what he hopes will become the final text.

As group members die, how long can a group continue before it's no longer the same group?
The final adoption of the agreement could take place as early as Sunday evening.
Huang and Canada's Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said they were confident a deal was within reach at a joint press conference on Saturday afternoon.
China is officially the president of COP15 and as such oversees the negotiations. But the meeting itself was moved to Canada due to ongoing COVID-19 restrictions in China.
The new agreement will be called the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, after the host cities.
COP15: Countries must overcome 'trust deficit', UN official says at biodiversity talks
Montreal was the site chosen largely because the secretariat of the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity is based there.
The move gave Canada more leverage in the talks and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the country was clear when it agreed to host the event that China should help Canada achieve a very ambitious goal. .
Guilbeault worked in several venues to try to bring the deal to fruition. He held bilateral meetings on Saturday with several ministers from developed and developing countries.
Many saw the Montreal nature talks as an opportunity to do for conservation what the Paris climate talks in 2015 did to spur action on climate change. Guilbeault said it's that kind of "bold deal" that's needed.
COP15 | Marine Stewardship Council
"We did that in Paris, we can do that here in Montreal," he said. "The whole world is watching. We have the power to change the course of history. Let's give nature the Parisian moment it deserves.

Is there a more definitive Steve Martin moment than his 1976 appearance on The Gong Show? The recently revived variety show's original host Chuck Barris stood in a mess of broken glass and spilled milk left behind by a family magic act, clapped hands, and introduced a mysterious character called The Mad Banjo. That's when the curtains parted and Martin was revealed in his "wild and crazy guy" persona. He was dressed in a frill-front tuxedo and accessorized with an arrow-through-the-head headband, and he played Earl Scruggs' classic bluegrass instrumental "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" like a champ until Barris interrupted the performance to tell Martin — who was also appearing as a judge on the show — that he wasn't allowed to be both a contestant and a panelist. Mad drama ensued.
Martin — the serious banjo player, not-so-serious magician, notable playwright, bankable movie star, and able deconstructor of funny things — has always worked at the nexus of slapstick, anti-comedy, total entertainment, and show business satire. This week, 42 years after The Mad Banjo's big meta-Gong Show moment, Martin is visiting Downtown Memphis with one of the few entertainers who can match his old-school, jack-of-all-trades approach to putting on shows (about putting on shows), Martin Short.
An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Lives arrives at the Orpheum Saturday. It's a multimedia affair with music, film, impressions, career retrospectives, and even a little audience participation. Martin and Short will make jokes at one another's expense and tell true Hollywood stories. They will pick and sing with the Grammy-winning bluegrass ensemble, The Steep Canyon Rangers. And if the show runs short by five minutes they'll probably encore with everybody's favorite song about contractual obligation, "Five More Minutes to Fill."

Bookman's Corner and the Dying Chaos
This should not be. Thank god it be.
An article, that looks like this, came my way recently claiming that the independent bookstore has risen from the status of near extinction and is now "booming." While this is wonderful news for those of us who love bookstores as much as we love books, it made me question what kinds of bookstores are thriving in the era of Amazon.
Considering the bookstores in my city, I might make the argument that shops that do well in the era of online shopping are bringing something to the proverbial table besides books. Many of us predicted that the saving grace of the indie bookstore would be events and actions that seek to build communities. 57thStreet Books, Unabridged Bookstore, and Volumes Book Cafe— three of my favorite local shops—regularly hold author readings and fun activities in an effort to bring people together as well as sell books. And while I'm not sure if all three are booming, I do know that the first two on the list survived the rise of Borders and Barnes and Noble seemingly unscathed. Perhaps one can surmise that the bookstores that lasted had a dedicated group of regulars willing to support their favorite shops and ignore the siren song of the Very Big Business. Now that Borders is kaput and Barnes and Noble is limping, these stalwart shops can have the last laugh.
So great— a few venerable indies have survived and a slew of new shops have sprung up, but what exactly have they sprung from? I might suggest that the independent bookstores of today's Chicago have replaced a kind of shop that is currently on its way to extinction: the dusty, messy, quirky-at-best and cranky-at-worst used bookstore.
And now a bit about me (of course).
I arrived in the north side of Chicago in 1993, having spent my childhood in a series of southwest suburbs without a good bookstore in sight. I would've killed for Borders. Ready for a life of literature, art, and aimlessness, I moved north and started haunting the used bookshops. And there were a lot of them to haunt. Almost all of them were helmed by strange men who appeared unable to function anywhere other than behind the counter, usually in a chair, often reading, sometimes drinking. The stores were often "loosely organized," and browsing required a sense of adventure. One did not stroll in looking for a specific book. Rather, it was best to wander the aisles and let a book find you. These shops would not hold events, as they—too crowded with clothbounds and paperbacks—had no room. They sold no coffee, no scones, no tchotchkes. In the early to mid-1990s, when bookstores were beginning to double as record stores and cafés, these shops were not long for the world.
I worked at one of these shops, the Aspidistra. It remains my favorite bookstore. It is the model for what I look for in an indie: a variety of books, many I might not find elsewhere, many out of print, all reasonably priced. The Aspidistra sold only used books and some remainders, so perhaps it's not fair to compare City Lit or the Book Cellar to my beloved used shop, but I nevertheless tend to romanticize the cramped near-chaos of a used store.
Thankfully, the quirkiest, dustiest, most disorganized and downright impossible of used bookshops still remains. Bookman's Corner (AKA Chandler's) has been in its location at 2959 N. Clark Street since… actually, I have no idea how long. I do know that it was there in 1993 when I first walked in, and that little has changed.

If anything, it's gotten less organized in the last 25 years. The window display may have once been carefully arranged with eye-catching titles and art books, but any plan has long been abandoned. The shelves are homemade, uneven, towering, sagging in places, double and sometimes triple-stacked with books in the loosest order imaginable. There's no register—John, the owner and (usually) sole employee—does the math in his head or longhand on a scrap of paper. The prices are unbeatable. Most of the time, there's an ongoing sale on anything older than a year; what we used to call "deep discounts" are ample. There are packed history sections separated by region, a recent infusion of philosophy texts, art books aplenty, and fiction that spans most of an aisle.
Somehow, among the clutter, there's a system. Navigating it is part of the fun. Earlier I stated that these sorts of shops require a sense of adventure. At Bookman's Corner, browsing is more of an extreme sport. Piles of books litter the floors to the extent that knocking them over, while not appreciated, is de rigueur. Large stepladders double as shelves. Getting lost in the space seems easy—claustrophobics will certainly be triggered before placing both feet through the door. There's a spot in the store where shelves narrow and nearly converge, making movement to the next aisle difficult for many a Midwestern body.
I love this shop. It's everything that commerce shouldn't be in the year 2018. Few favors are done for the patron used to uniformity. There's no cell phone usage allowed, photos are discouraged (whoops), and the owner will likely not know if a specific book is on site. To enter Bookman's Corner is to travel back to a time when consumers were not aided by user-friendly interface, where exact needs were not catered to, where one might devote a chunk of time to the experience of meandering among physical content and fall down a rabbit hole of the printed page. Dare I argue that vanishing opportunities of disorientation and discovery are important in a tech-saturated culture predicated on the immediate satisfaction of every desire?
It's fair to say that the old model of bookstore management—indifferent-to-grumpy customer service, a casual relationship with order, lack of adherence to posted operating hours—is ineffective. Your average patron would surely welcome the sleeker indie bookshop. Can't fault anyone for preferring organization and regularly dusted shelves. Nevertheless, I don't know what to think of a world where places like Bookman's Corner won't exist. The absurdist in me believes that these soon-to-be-extinct shops represent something profound and essential to our culture, and that their absence will cost us more than we know. I'm at a loss to articulate what exactly is so important about cranky little shops that alienate as many customers as they enchant, but important they are. To me, at least.
So while I'll gladly drop my cash at Volumes, 57thStreet, The Seminary Co-op, Unabridged, and The Dial, I'll also make time to savor Bookman's Corner before the inevitable occurs and the old beast goes belly up. Hoping that's not too soon.

Braves fall to Dodgers 6-0 in Game 1 of NLDS
LOS ANGELES — Hyun-Jin Ryu pitched seven dominant innings, Max Muncy hit an early, three-run homer and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Atlanta Braves 6-0 in their National League Division Series opener Thursday night.
Picked a surprising Game 1 starter over fellow lefty Clayton Kershaw, Ryu delivered in his first postseason start since 2014. The South Korean allowed four singles — all with two outs — struck out eight and walked none.
The 31-year-old Ryu missed 3 1/2 months of the season with a groin strain and returned Aug. 15 to post a 1.88 ERA in 52 2/3 innings. Dodgers great Sandy Koufax was among those who gave Ryu a standing ovation as he walked to the dugout after his final pitch.
The Dodgers set franchise and National League records by hitting 235 homers during the regular season, and their tear continued with three more to begin their playoffs. The defending NL champions actually were outhit 6-5 by Atlanta, but the Braves only got singles.
Game 2 in the best-of-five matchup is Friday at Dodger Stadium, with Kershaw starting for Los Angeles against Anibal Sanchez.
The Braves have lost eight straight series openers in the postseason. They haven't won a Game 1 since 2001 when they went on to sweep Houston in the NLDS.
Rookie Ronald Acuna struck out twice and went 0 for 4 as the Braves were blanked. This was Atlanta's first playoff appearance since 2013, when they lost to the Dodgers in four games.
Joc Pederson's leading shot in the bottom of the first rattled Mike Foltynewicz in his postseason debut.
Foltynewicz gave up four runs and three hits in two innings. The right-hander struck out five and walked two. He got out of a two-out, bases-loaded jam in the first by striking out Yasiel Puig.
Foltynewicz found trouble again in the second. With two outs, he hit Pederson and walked Justin Turner before Muncy sent a 1-0 pitch over the wall in center, making it 4-0.
Enrique Hernandez hit a solo shot with two outs in the sixth off Brad Brach. Pinch-hitter David Freese added a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
Ryu allowed a two-out single to Freddie Freeman in the first. After that, he retired 12 consecutive batters before a pair of two-out singles to Ender Inciarte and former Dodger Charlie Culberson in the fifth. Puig charged in on pinch-hitter Kurt Suzuki's fly to right field to end the inning. The Braves didn't advance a runner past second base in the game.

There is no shortage of smart home appliances and accessories these days, as even smart bulb options are on the rise. While it might not be cheap, as leading provider Philips cost around US $30 per bulb for white ones, there is now a more affordable option.
Ikea recently announced their smart bulbs, as low as $11.99 per unit, will be available in the coming months. This new product is HomeKit compatible, meaning you have the capability to control it through Siri.
Ikea is reinforcing their TRADFRI smart lighting line to be compatible with Amazon Echo, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. They also said they will be retrofitting their smart bulbs, applying the latest technology to selected existing products.
The startup kit costs about $79.99 (comes with two light bulbs), but each additional smart bulb will cost about $11.99 for the entry-level units – with the more expensive ones topping out to around $19.99 per. Other accessories, like motion sensors and light dimmers, will also be similarly and affordably priced.
While this makes smart bulb technology more affordable in general, Philips might still hold an edge as they offer more flexible and customisable products and technologies through their Color Ambiance and Hue Lighting lines.
Furthermore, Notaa is launching in a few days in Australia – making it the first HomeKit installer in the country.
Notaa specialises in installing and setting up products that utilise Apple's Siri technology and other iPhone-based home automation services. The company offers in-home services where experts bring the products to your home and assist in installing and using the products.
The company also has a wide-range of products from Philips, Nanoleaf, and Elgato, among others. While they are starting out in the Sutherland Shire and Sydney areas, the company also plans to expand these services to New Zealand in the coming months. This development could surely lead to more companies offering the same or comparable products and services.
On the other hand, this development could also lead to cybercriminals thinking up of more ways to hack into our homes and private lives.

We LOVE Collage and we know you will too!

For some serious eye candy, check out their Instagram @collageannex! You can see the Collage Annex in person at 1607 NE Alberta St., just down the block from their Alberta St. supply store.

We are always excited to see what project they plan to do at our show.

The originality and flexibility of the physical modelling synthesizer Modalys is being continously validated by an ever-growing community of users made up of composers, acousticians and musicologists alike. In this paper we will present the main lines that have oriented recent research around Modalys. These can be summarized: (1) Exploration and tentative classification of the musical possibilities of Modalys. (2) Use of modal synthesis as a meeting point between signal synthesis and physical modelling synthesis. (3) Port of Modalys to a real-time platform.

Una trajectòria circumlunar, trajectòria trans-lunar o de tornada lliure lunar és un tipus de trajectòria de tornada lliure que pren una nau espacial de la Terra, al voltant de la cara oculta de la Lluna, i de retorn a la Terra usant només la gravetat una vegada que s'estableix la trajectòria inicial.

Fons
La primera nau espacial que va volar una trajectòria circumlunar va ser Luna 3. Les trajectòries circumlunars també van ser utilitzades per les missions d'Apollo abans de la inserció lunar de l'òrbita, per proporcionar una tornada lliure a la terra en cas d'un mal funcionament del sistema de propulsió en el camí a la Lluna. Això es va usar en l'Apollo 13, quan un trencament del tanc d'oxigen va requerir tornar a la Terra sense engegar el motor del Mòdul de Servei, encara que una sèrie de correccions de curs usant el motor de descens del Mòdul Lunar van ser requerits per mantenir aquesta trajectòria.

També es van proposar diverses missions tripulades per conduir intencionalment vols aeris circumlunars, inclòs el programa soviètic Soiuz 7K-L1 o Zond, i diverses propostes dels Estats Units, incloent Gemini-Centaur i una proposta d'Apollo primerenca

"Quiet and Convenient" | Revievs | Apartmani i smeštaj - Alo hotel d.o.o.
It was a perfect location for visiting the city and taking day trips.
Although the apartment is a bit on the small side (as apartments go), it was bigger than most hotel rooms.
The rooms on the street side are a bit larger. At least the couch in the kitchen is more accessible.
However we thought the rooms on the parking side would be quieter and that was more important to us.
The balconies on the top floor are smaller than the middle floor but again we preferred the quieter top floor as there would be no one walking above us.
The apartment is on the south side of the city about 15-20 minute walk to the 3 bridges in the heart of the old town.
There are several different routes you can take into town and so we varied our walk.
I would recommend the river walk one time and the krakovo neighborhood the next.
For either way make your way to St John's Church. To get to the river follow the stream to the right. To get to krakovo cross the stream and continue on.
The hotel is also very convenient for day trips. We ignored our sat nav which wanted to take us through the old town and headed south to the highway that rings the city. We also came back this way. It's very quick and convenient.
The nearest restaurant we found was the Gostilna Pod Vrbo only 2 blocks away. They serve traditional slovenian food. They have good TA reviews. We enjoyed it.
The staff were very friendly and very accomodating with our late and untimable arrival.
The staff is not onsight though they do have a small office there for checkins.
There is a phone where you can call there other hotel where there is staff.
This was handy and they were always available and prompt the few times we needed something.
They gave us a great overview of the city.
If you can take the walking tour they recommend. In an hour and a half you'll get the whole history of the city and see the main sites downtown.
This is almost always a key factor in where we stay.
The hotel is in a quiet neighborhood and yet only 1 short block from the road that takes you directly to the highway.
Room 3 is on the farside of the building from this road so we got no road noise. Even outside the building it did not seem noisy.
The hotel is small and solidly built so quiet. We did not get noise through the walls or from the hall.
Each room has a small entry way that you can shut off which provides another buffer to the hall but wasn't needed.
There are only 2 apartments per floor in a 3 story building. The first floor has a single apartment. So a total of 5 apartments. So not alot of people to make sound.
The balconies could be a source of noise, but we were lucky and no one sat out late.
The kitchen was perfectly adequate. The grocery store is a 3-5 minute walk. The hours quite limited on weekends so ask at checkin for the hours if you need to shop.
Another nice feature was a washer and dryer in a separate building located on the grounds.
Although we never did figure out how to get the dryer to stay on until the clothes were dry, we appreciated being able to wash clothes a few nights.

The Mentors are driven by the sense of interest or boredom. They like to find new experiences, to be in a new kind of situations and to be inspired by the new concepts.
Intuitive-Ethical-Extroverts see the multiple potential outcomes of a given situation and are able to hold them all in their head at the same time as well as to see the essence of a situation. They see what opportunities a given situation offers.
The Mentors are able to build an opinion about a person very quickly and correctly, they see the essence of a person as easy as an essence of a situation. But they are concentrating most on who a person might become and not so much on who he is at the moment and therefore see people in a more positive way.
They enjoy helping people to expand their talents and encourage people to the self-growth and personal development. IEE have very good people skills and are able to find the right approach in the interpersonal relations to make a good impression.
The Mentors are easily distracted and generally spontaneous. They often switch from topic to topic in a conversation. Intuitive-Ethical-Extroverts often have a spur-of-a-moment ideas and their interests are broad.
IEE believe that all people are entitled to different opinions, but expect any discussion to be polite and respectful.
Intuitive-Ethical-Extroverts have a strong sense of morals and though they generally try to avoid a conflict, they would stand up for their opinion if their moral principals were confronted.
The Mentors are very aware of the interpersonal relations and can use them to their benefit.
Meeting new people, Mentors can be quite forceful and bold due to the [:bS:] as their "Role" function.
The Mentors tend to avoid open conflicts and consider them being draining and nerve-wracking. If someone puts them under a direct pressure, trying to force them to do something, they would either stay polite, defending their position 'through their ideas of "right" and "wrong" or in case of aggression from outside use their [:wE:] to hit a tender spot of a person psychologically.
The Mentors find it hard to understand the formal logic, dislike hierarchies in interpersonal relations and find it hard to make a choice. They prefer practical explanations to the theoretical ones.
The Mentors like when someone takes care of their physical comfort and well-being. They are easily convinced in the health and comfort matters.
IEE respect the knowledge of what needs to be done and how. That includes the comfort and well-being skills mentioned above — if explained on the real-life situations and with practical reasoning, the Mentors would gladly take the advice.
When pushed into doing something they don't want to do and they've tried all the other strategies that are typical for their normal behaviour, IEE will use phrases like "I'll do it, but not right now" or "Sure, but maybe next time?".
IEE can feel other people emotions, but have problems verbalizing or letting them through their conscience. They are able and tend to calm people down, if they believe emotions are running too strong.

ReneSola Provide 32 MW of Virtus PV Modules to Isolux Corsan
ReneSola supplies Isolux Corsan with 31.7 megawatts of Virtus PV modules for a commercial PV project in the Suffolk.
According to the terms of the agreement, ReneSola delivered 9.7 MW of Virtus I modules and 22 MW of Virtus II modules to Isolux Corsan's project site location in Suffolk, England. The project used ReneSola modules exclusively and connected to the grid in December 2013.
Mr. Xianshou Li, ReneSola's chief executive officer, said, "This shipment boosts our market share in the region, as we become a top supplier in the UK's growing solar market. Furthermore, working with Isolux Corsan, one of the industry's top constructors of turnkey EPC PV power projects, will open new doors for supplying modules to other large-scale projects. Isolux Corsan's selection of our modules speaks to the quality of our products and our brand image among customers. We will continue to enhance our products and customer relationships to supply additional large-scale products in the UK and worldwide."
Antonio Gonzalez Torralbo, Isolux Corsan's chief executive of EPC activity, added, "This is the fourth solar park we've built in the United Kingdom. We are one of the leading photovoltaic construction firms worldwide, and with this project, we're consolidating our operations in Europe, where we have already amassed a total installed capacity of 340 MWp in more than 50 solar plants located throughout Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom. We're thrilled to work with a top-tier PV supplier like ReneSola. We chose ReneSola modules because of their compliance with relevant anti-dumping measures, strong reputation for quality and comprehensive PowerGuard insurance."

Samie Solina believes that everyone has a story — and every day, she does her best to do them justice.
Samie is a multimedia journalist, and oftentimes you'll see her out in the field shooting her own stories. She has put together stories about people all over the Western United States, from the deserts of Arizona to the forests of Alaska and now to the beaches of Hawaii.
She studied journalism at College of the Canyons in her hometown of Santa Clarita, California. There, she landed her first gig in the business: writing and producing videos for the local paper. When she reported on devastating wildfires that claimed many houses so close to her own home, she realized how impactful local journalism could be.
She went on to get her degree at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State, but not before interning at Hawaii News Now. She fell in love with her Hawaii News Now family, the beauty of Hawaii, and the people that give the Aloha State its name. She made it her goal to return.
She took her first television reporting job at KTUU in Anchorage. She was known for telling positive stories highlighting community members and shining a light on good people doing good work. She was nominated for three Emmy Awards in video journalism, won local feature storytelling awards through the Alaska Press Club, and placed in several competitions with the National Press Photographer's Club.
When she's not telling stories, you can find her hiking up mountains, camping, free diving and exploring the outdoors.

Following his playing days with the Rams Terry became the Canterbury Basketball Development Manager building programmes for the association. He also became a part time TV commentator alongside, firstly John Watson and then the legend Bob Mantei, calling Rams games for CTV and CHTV. Terry became the administrator for the Rams team in 2006 when the CBA took over the running of the team for a three year period. During this time he was also the Assistant Coach to American Chris Sparks (2006,2007) and Bert Knops (2008). Terry played a part in convincing current Rams owner Andrew Harrison to restart the team in 2014 so that young local talented players had a flagship team to aspire to. Most recently he was back in the commentary seat alongside James Lissaman calling the games for the live streaming coverage. Terry has been appointed Rams Assistant Coach for 2019 under Head Coach Mick Downer and alongside Assistant Piet Van Hasselt. "It's a real privilege to be back on the side lines and I'm looking forward to being a part of a Canterbury Rams team that plays the right way with energy and passion".

In true Black Raven pumpkin beer tradition, no spices were used to create this squash ale. Available in the taproom and growlers to go.


I know how to squeeze spinach by hand but does anyone have any tips on speeding up the process for larger quantities? As recommended by the recipe and reader comments, the spinach will be defrosted frozen, not fresh spinach. Thank you!
Thank you, June. I love the dish but dread the chore.
I dump the spinach into a clean tea towel and squeeze the bejeezus out of it. It's the fastest way I've figured out to get the spinach really dry.
She swears it works for lettuces. I'm thinking it might not work so well for finely-chopped spinach. I'm going with the ricer tip!
Thanks Rachel. Believe it or not, I've also heard a tip to put large quantities of greens in a pillow case, then on the spin cycle in a (dry) washing machine.
If that works that is absolutely genius mental. If it doesn't, that is just plain mental.
Put it in a salad spinner, then press any excess out between sheets of kitchen towel.
Dona, thank you! What a great tip.
I use a ricer, it works great .

Q: How do I "get" a member variable in JavaScript? function User() {
    this.firstname = null;

    get getFirst() {
        return this.firstname;
    }
}

JavaScript console gives me an error saying "Unexpected Identifier" on line 12

var Jake = new User();
Jake.firstname = "Jake";
document.write(Jake.getFirst);

A: That's just not the syntax you use to define a getter. You'd use it in an object literal, like this:
var foo = {
    get bar() {
        return 42;
    }
};

foo.bar; // 42

...but that's not where your get is.
To define it where your get is, you'd use defineProperty:
function User() {
    this.firstname = null;

    Object.defineProperty(this, "first", {
        get: function() {
            return this.firstname;
        }
    });
}

Note I called it first, not getFirst, because it's an accessor function, which looks like a direct property access, and so is traditionally not given a name in a verb form:
var u = new User();
u.firstname = "Paul";
u.first; // "Paul"

If you wanted to create a function called getFirst, just get rid of the get keyword:
this.getFirst = function() {
    return firstname;
};
// ...
var u = new User();
u.firstname = "Paul";
u.getFirst(); // "Paul"

A: I believe the issue is that you are using get with a function rather than the object literal as outlined in the documentation.
var User = {
   firstName: 'Darren',
   get getFirst() { return this.firstName; }
}

alert(User.getFirst);

https://jsfiddle.net/ecao51n0/

A: get is intended to be called within an object, not a function constructor. If you want to declare getFirst as a function on User, then here's one way you could  do it:
function User() {
   this.firstname = null;
   this.getFirst = function() {
      return this.firstname;
   }
}

Then you would also need to call getFirst as a function:
var Jake = new User();

Jake.firstname = "Jake";

document.write(Jake.getFirst());


Fakes: Who Should be Blamed?
The Knoedler fake trial begins today, and everyone is anxious to see how it is going to turn out.
The entire case will be revolved around this question: should the buyers of a fake work (in this occurrence: Mark Rothko) have done more researches to find out if they were buying a genuine work, or should the gallery be expected to make sure the work was genuine first?
Who will be blamed for it?

York-HI's Endorsement for the 2020 Primary Election
Ethan Thomas, Jude DeMotte, Joey Leonardo, and Jake Hansmann
News about policies and the politicians behind them are constantly in the spotlight on news networks. While President Donald Trump is running for his second term as the incumbent, the Democratic Party is in the process of determining their nominee who will face Trump in November. After an anonymous voting process, York-Hi has voted in a simple majority to endorse Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) for the Democratic Nomination.
Graphic by Hannah Brody
The votes for the 2020 York-Hi Endorsement.
Sanders' political experience includes 10 years as the mayor of Burlington, Vermont, the largest city in the state, a 16 year tenure as the Congressional representative for Vermont at-large, and 12 years in the United States Senate. In 2018, Sanders was elected to another six year term. In addition, Sanders was the runner-up for the Democratic nomination in 2016, in which he won 23 contests and over 13 million votes nationwide.
Arguably his biggest policy plan is his Medicare-for-All plan that would eliminate private insurance and enroll Americans in a healthcare plan similar to the current Medicare system. One of his more moderate opponents, Mayor Pete Buttigieg, proposed a system of Medicare-for-All Who Want It. While Sanders' system is about universal healthcare, Buttigieg markets a plan to make healthcare cheaper and more available to the public with private insurance still being an option. The majority of our class supports Sanders' system.
Sanders succeeded over Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) in our staff votes with 10 votes while she had six. While Warren also has a strong background in politics, Sanders has been more consistent in his beliefs. He has promoted the idea of Medicare for All for decades, and he voted against the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act, which denied the right of marriage to gay and lesbian couples. As a teenager at the height of the Civil Rights Movement, he protested against the bigotry and racism that was prevalent across the country. Sanders would be a nominee that would not waiver on his positions going into the general election.
Another issue that Sanders has talked about with great excitement is canceling the student loan debt of every student. Considering many York students will go to some form of college following their time in high school, the student debt crisis is one that hits home for many students here at York. Students who come out of college with copious amounts of debt can be restricted in their ability to afford homes and apartments. Other candidates in the race have put out plans to help reduce or eliminate student debt; however, many of these plans are based on income levels, and therefore Bernie's plan would help a greater portion of the York student population.
For the Republican Nomination, we endorse President Donald Trump; with five votes, Trump dominated the York-Hi Republican vote. Following his victory in 2016, Trump has begun the construction of the southern border wall, and he has overseen record highs in the stock market, record job growth (added 6.7 million jobs since election day) and record lows in African American unemployment (5.5%) and general unemployment (3.5%). In addition, despite speculations following the tariffs placed on China, the US has seen an increase in net exports and wealth for the United States since the tariffs were put in place. He has also increased relations with North Korea and taken strong actions against ISIS and Al Qaeda.
Our endorsement comes from the student staff of the York-Hi Newspaper. Our vote does not come from the staff or the entirety of students at York Community High School, nor does it necessarily reflect the individual views of all those on staff.

Our robust 12 volt 55 amp lead acid emergency light battery uses sealed lead acid (SLA) technology to hold an electrical charge. They can be fitted into many of the most popular emergency lighting fixtures we carry.
Our SLA emergency light batteries contain a heavier electrical load than most nickel cadmium cells, making them perfect for keeping your powerful halogen lamps at full luminosity for well over the required 90-minute runtime.
But is a 55 amp emergency light battery right for your fixture? Contact us today and find out. If you require a quicker response, call us toll-free, 24/7 at 800-607-5355.
The ELB-SLA-1255 is the perfect replacement battery for emergency lighting or exit sign combo fixtures which take a 12v 55Ah charge. They fit snugly inside of the emergency fixture's housing and wire into the lights and circuit board via F1 terminals at the top of the battery.
The fire-resistant black thermoplastic housing locks in the lead acid gel and are almost impossible to rupture, even under extreme duress. The ELB-SLA-1255 looks like a car battery and works on the same principles, however, they are much smaller and lighter to carry.
Lead acid gel is tightly compressed in the emergency light battery's plastic housing. They have almost no possibility of leaking unless physically damaged.

If you're planning on enduring the long flight to Australia this year, the Northern Territory doesn't want you to forget about it. Many people still spend most of their time along the east coast visiting hubs like the Gold Coast and Sydney.
You can take advantage of the deal on any flight taken before December 31, 2018, as long as it's booked by July 31. In order to qualify for the deal, you'll have to spend at least two nights in the Northern Territory.
The "Fly Free to the Outback" promotion is pretty easy to take advantage of, especially because they have set up a site with all the details you'll need to book your free flight. However, they can't do anything about the bad Australian accents you'll hear from your coworkers when you tell them you're vacationing in Australia. Sorry.
