Liliana Palma Santos greets me over video conference with a wide smile. "I've been so busy," she proclaims as she settles in for our interview. She's seated on a patio in her hometown of Tlacolula de Matamoros in Oaxaca. Santos, known as Lily the Zapotec Traveler on Instagram, offers guests and travelers access to unique, intimate, off-the-beaten-path experiences featuring Indigenous Zapotec craftspeople, chefs, and tour guides. She owns and runs a tour company and an Airbnb, and is the co-founder of a small restaurant called Criollito in Oaxaca, Mexico, and as travel restrictions have lifted, her business has taken off.
"I've always wanted to move back to Oaxaca to do something good for my community," Santos says, beaming, "and this has been my dream for a long time."
Centering the Indigenous Zapotec Community
It wasn't until the social justice and Black Lives Matter movements took hold in the U.S. in 2020 — and COVID-19 shutdowns hobbled the tourism industry — that Santos began to hone her ideas around offering tours centered on her Indigenous community in Oaxaca.
"I want to highlight and take a stance only to visit Indigenous-owned businesses. For me, it hasn't been a loss in income, but it's been more of changing the traveler's perspective as to where they should go."
She began slowly at first, opening her family home in Tlacolula just outside Oaxaca, as an Airbnb. She targeted travelers who wanted an authentic experience, and her first guests asked for a tour of the places they wouldn't traditionally see on the regular routes. Santos obliged.
From there, word of mouth and her growing, vibrant social media presence brought more people to her doorstep. In March 2020, she and her family opened a small Zapotec restaurant, Cirollito, where she and her family keep Zapotec traditions alive and offer dishes that feature native corn and traditional cooking methods. As Santos' tour business has grown, she's developed a community of native Zapotec artisans, potters, and small business owners, all benefiting from her approach.
"I want to honor our Zapotec traditions," Santos says. So, instead of taking a commission for visiting artisans, she relies on a system of barter and reciprocity, and she charges workshop fees to travelers when she takes them to visit a particular experience.
"For example, I tell everyone that I don't charge a commission for their sales. We pay everyone we visit for the service they're providing because most people aren't paid for their work," Santos explains. "Artists are opening up their homes in the hopes of making a sale, but I can't always guarantee that a traveler is going to make a purchase." In those cases, Santos charges travelers a fee that she then shares with the artisans. "These artisans have a lot of knowledge, and they're sharing that with us."
Santos offers everything from bar crawls that feature Oaxaqueño breweries and family-owned Mezcalerias, curated trips to the famous Sunday Market, visits to agave producers to learn about the state of Mezcal, and workshops with local potters creating Alebrijes, the small, brightly colored figurines the region is famous for. Tours are also customizable, and Santos points out that she works with certified guides to tour the more well-known ancient sites like Monte Álban and Mitla. Guests can book directly with Santos through Instagram.
"The artisans know that the people who go on my tours are aware that they're supporting local businesses by choosing to travel with me," Santos says. "Travelers know that everyone is being paid fairly, that everyone respects the prices they set for our visit."
Giving Back to Her Community
In addition to her tour work, Santos is also helping other Indigenous small business owners and tour guides navigate both the online and offline world to grow. She counsels local small businesses on their social media strategy, and she's working with other tour guides, especially women, to help lift under-represented voices.
"I want to highlight women of different Indigenous groups, age ranges, and elders," she says. "It's a lot of planning and a lot of really knowing the communities. It's not just hashtag."
"I want to show people my side of Oaxaca," she continues. "Everything people see in Oaxaca City comes from an origin, and those origins are native people. At times that can be lost, or there's an erasure or a commodification that happens, but I want people to get to the roots to understand more about our state or our country because that's a crucial element of everything that they see coming out of Oaxaca."
Upending an Institutional Paradigm
Santos, who goes by Lily, was born and raised in Santa Monica, California, by a pair of native immigrant Zapotec parents. Santa Monica has a robust and vibrant Zapotec culture and serves as a major center for Indigenous people from the Mexican state of Oaxaca to immigrate. While the current Census doesn't specify the heritage of immigrants beyond "Hispanic" and "Latino," according to a handful of academic papers, Los Angeles has become the city with one of the largest numbers of Indigenous Mexicans in the country. In LA alone, the Zapotec population is estimated to approach 200,000 people.
"Zapotecs are a little different in that we don't set roots that much in the U.S. We are very binational," Santos says. "All my summers were spent down here, and I never spent a summer at the beach in Santa Monica, although that's what I wanted to do when I was young. So growing up, I was trying to grapple with these two cultures."
In December of 2019, Santos quit her job at a community-building nonprofit where she taught English to immigrants because, she says she wanted to pursue her dream of getting back to her Indigenous roots and supporting the community that is often, as she put it, "tokenized," by the tourist and travel industry in Oaxaca.
"As Indigenous people, we're very disconnected from the city and tourism. For example, the government puts us on an image, but we don't get to reap any benefits of that," she says. "When I visited as a kid, we would go to different archeological sites, and certified guides would talk about us as if we were no longer here. The majority of the certified guides come from different areas of Mexico. They settle here in Oaxaca to do tours, but we don't have native voices on our own native land."
Santos is not a "certified guide," but she's upending the paradigm. In Mexico, certified guides go through both a university program and a government certification process. Santos says that it's common for certified guides (and even taxi drivers) to charge local artisans a commission or fee if they bring tourists to their small businesses. She says that commission demands can climb as high as 50% of sales or more. If local artisans, restaurant owners, or small business owners refuse to pay the commission, the guide will not bring tourists in the future.
"Certified guides uplift certain voices. Obviously, they become wealthy, but what about the rest of the community," Santos asks. "Sometimes artisans and business owners aren't aware of the practice, though it's common," she says. "I want to make a distinction between the traditional tourism sector and a more sustainable, responsible approach."

December 2, 2011 we visited the Kim Son Charity School with donations. We drove the 30 minutes from Nha Trang by motorbike on a cool cloudy day, and arrived at Kim Son while the afternoon lessons were underway. The children came out to meet us, then gathered in the larger classroom. It's always fun to visit these wonderful children, whose schooling is entirely provided for them by the nuns at Kim Son.
The school pays for the children's books, uniforms, and the salaries of the teachers. As the children all come from poor families, they are also given free breakfast and lunch at the school. All of these costs can only be paid for through donations, and we were happy to contribute to the amazing work of the school's caretakers.
Generous donations were made by Valerie Maples of Australia and Quang Ha Hong Ngoc of Nha Trang. We also gave some school supplies, which were donated by Adele of Malaysia. Accompanying us on our visit were Jeff and Khanh Boisson of France, and we all handed out snacks to the kids.
It was a wonderful day! Thank you to all of our donors who have made a difference in the lives of these children.

Conrad and Catharina Elisabeth Sinner
Conrad Sinner was born on February 12, 1851 in Norka, Russia, the son of George Heinrich Sinner (born 1823) and Magdalena Schiedemann (born 1826).
Conrad first married Magdalena Brehm (born August 13, 1852) in Norka on January 23, 1872. After giving birth to at least seven children, Magdalena died on August 20, 1884 in Norka.
On December 9, 1884, Conrad married Catharina Elisabeth Aschenbrenner who was born in Norka on October 3, 1855, the daughter of Johannes Aschenbrenner (born 1809) and Katharina Elisabeth Krieger (born 1816). Catharina Elisabeth was the widow of Johann Georg Nolde (born 1857).
Conrad and Catharina Elisabeth (also known as Lizzie) became the parents of son, Johannes, in 1885. Conrad's father died the same year. In 1887, the Sinner's migrated to the United States and settled in Nebraska where two more sons, Georg Philipp (1888) and Peter Friedrich (1890) were born. Conrad's widowed mother came with them to the United States.
The Sinner family migrated to Portland by March of 1892 where daughter, Emma Mary, was born on the 3rd of the month. Two more children were born in Portland: Anna Elizabeth (1895) and Heinrich (Henry) in 1897.
Conrad and Catharina Elisabeth were founding members of the Ebenezer German Congregational Church in 1892.
In 1900, the U.S. Census shows the family living in the St. John's village north of Portland and Henry is farming.
Conrad petitioned to become a U.S. Citizen in 1911.
In 1910 and 1920, the Sinner's had relocated to Kalama, Washington and Conrad continued work operating his own farm along with Georg and Henry.
Catharina Elisabeth died on February 28, 1928 and was buried at the Rose City Cemetery in Portland.
Conrad died on July 28, 1935 and was buried with Catharina Elisabeth.

Sports spectator behavior: A test of the theory of planned behavior
Wan Chen Lu, Shin Huei Lin, Chih Fu Cheng
Graduate Institute of Sport, Leisure and Hospitality Management
The theory of planned behavior has been applied to sports and exercise behaviors. According to this theory, human intention to take action in a specific context is guided by three antecedents: attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. Behavioral intention mediates the relationships between these three considerations and its ultimate performance. However, this theory has seldom been applied to the behaviors of spectators of sporting events. A sample of 269 volleyball spectators in Taiwan was studied to examine whether people's intention mediated their attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control toward a given behavior, watching the 2010 Fédération Internationale de Volleyball World Grand Prix in Taipei. Regression analyses did not support behavioral intention as a mediator. This result is discussed in the context of planned behavior.

word on comedian's new show
I used to have some secure passwords that were entirely whole words (sentences even) though. So I just checked Yes. I don think that info alone determines security.. She said those were the darkest parts of her life. But now, she has been able to find who she truly is. From victim to advocate.
There are some common sense provisions. Gang color restrictions may make kids at some schools demonstrably safer, and general decency rules should apply as they do outside schools. But policing poofy hairdos or the message on a bracelet or the fabric of a child's pants isn't serving the interests of students or society.
According to court records, an autopsy revealed that Sergie was stabbed twice in the right corner of her right eye while she was still alive. She was killed by a single gunshot wound to the back of her head. And she was stabbed again in the face after she had died.
In order to have fewer lopsided scores, when possible, we will schedule separate in each age group with some crossover games. Teams which are made up of primarily the younger year in any age group will play teams their own age more often during the season. Playoffs seeds will be determined by season records.
For those hoping to see some of the futuristic gear from "Star Wars" applied to the real world, hang in there. "Fully autonomous cars that can drive from Point A to Point B" won't hit the market this year, "but the evolution toward that level of autonomy will continue, with everyday cars getting smarter and safer," Stevens said. "More and more cars will receive more advanced driver assistance technologies, even affordable cars like the Chevrolet Malibu, which can steer itself back into the lane should the driver start to wander.".
Prices for the 2016 Passat start at $23,260, although snagging the car shown above, an SE with the Technology pack, will cost $29,230. Considering the content, our Passat's price seems reasonable. A similarly equipped Toyota Camry XLE requires over $32,000, and you have to get the $31,505 Ford Fusion Titanium to even have the chance to add stuff like adaptive cruise control.
Create your self identity Certain designers represent specific things. For instance, a designer style may be a representation of classic preppy. While certain designer clothes are worn often by young students or stylish professionals, some other reminds you of popular teenage trends.
Unless you are advised by the parents of a child not to give certain foods to the child, apple I'm sure is a safe food for kids. Slice the apple into small pieces as I'm sure the kids cannot eat big slices. There maybe kids who may ask for more but most kids can only have a small piece of apple..

We love being involved in building projects, particularly when we get to play a part in the transformation and restoration of old buildings in the local area. There's something about bringing a new lease of life to a deserted structure that would otherwise be left to decay, or even demolished.
Which is why we are thrilled to have been involved in the recent restoration of the Old Glove Factory in Ladywell, Pilton (North Devon).
The building originally operated as a glove factory, until it closed in the 1970s. The once lively building has sat empty ever since, until Mazzard Investments Ltd bought the property and decided to turn it into 9 idyllic, contemporary apartments.
The Sanders brothers began operating in the building around 1850, using it for their glove making business (you can still partially see the name 'Sanders' on the south elevation!). In the late 1850s, specialist glove maker Joseph Balis joined forces with the Sanders brothers, helping expand the business and the industry in North Devon. During its peak time, the factory employed roughly 200 people, and were exporting over 200 different varieties of gloves all over the world.
Around the 1930, the building was acquired by Dent Alcroft & Company. The building was restructured and rebuilt in places, potentially to accommodate the need to make gloves and other goods for those fighting on the frontline in WWII. Glove making carried on right through to 1973, when the factory closed its doors for the last time.
This remarkable restoration has given Ladywell a fresh new feel in Pilton, and brought a once vibrant and buzzing building back to life again. We are over the moon that our Country 180mm x 14mm Engineered Oak flooring was used in the development of these stunning properties, which are soon to be on the market.
We thoroughly enjoyed working with James Windsor from Mazzard Investments Ltd on such an incredible project, and helping bring a traditional feel to these newly-built apartments.
If you'd like to know more about our involvement in this fantastic project, or how our Country Engineered Oak can help your restoration project, get in touch!

I am trying to group MyModel's into MyModelWrapper which is a wrapper class for a List of MyModel and the integer (MyModelWrapper(int month, List<MyModel>)).
The code should group the List of MyModel MyModel(0), MyModel(0), MyModel(1), MyModel(2) into a List of MyModelWrapper MyModelWrapper(0, List(MyModel(0), MyModel(0)), MyModelWrapper(1, List(MyModel(1)) and MyModelWrapper(2, List(MyModel(2)).
My current code which is not using RxJava
List<MyModel> models = database.myModelDao().getMyModels();

Map<Integer, List<MyModel>> orderedData = new HashMap<>();
for(MyModel model : models) {
    if(orderedData.get(model.getMonth()) == null) {
        orderedData.put(model.getMonth(), new ArrayList<MyModel>());
    }
    orderedData.get(model.getMonth()).add(model);
}

final ArrayList<MyModelWrapper> recordedModels = new ArrayList<>();
for (Map.Entry<Integer, List<MyModel>> cursor : recordedModels.entrySet()) {
    List<MyModel> myModelRecords = cursor.getValue();
    MyModelWrapper modelWrapper = new MyModelWrapper()
        .setMyModels(myModelRecords)
        .setMonth(cursor.getKey());
    recordedModels.add(modelWrapper);
}

return recordedModels;

How would I RxIfy this?
I tried getting the first Element from the Flowable with first(), the groupBy() my key but that is returning a GroupedObservable which would somehow be turned into a list, then transformed into a List to be converted to MyModelWrapper.
Any help is appreciated!

Solution I ended up using:
getMyModelsFlowable()
    .flatMapIterable(new Function<List<MyModel>, Iterable<MyModel>>() {
        @Override
        public Iterable<MyModel> apply(List<MyModel> models) throws Exception {
            return models;
        }
    }).groupBy(new Function<MyModel, Integer>() {
        @Override
        public Integer apply(MyModel model) throws Exception {
            return model.getMonth();
        }
    }).flatMapSingle(new Function<GroupedFlowable<Integer, MyModel>, SingleSource<MyModelWrapper>>() {
        @Override
        public SingleSource<MyModelWrapper> apply(final GroupedFlowable<Integer, MyModel> group) throws Exception {
            return group.toList().map(new Function<List<MyModel>, MyModelWrapper>() {
                @Override
                public MyModelWrapper apply(List<MyModel> models) throws Exception {
                    return new MyModelWrapper()
                            .setMyModels(models)
                            .setMonth(group.getKey());
                }
            });
        }
    });

A: Your approach with GroupedFlowable is correct.
Consider this test snippet
@Test
fun modelWrap() {
    val data = Flowable.just(listOf(
            Model(1, "1"),
            Model(2, "2"),
            Model(1, "3"),
            Model(3, "4")))
    val modelsByMonth = data.flatMapIterable { it }.groupBy { it.month }
    val wrappedModels = modelsByMonth
            .flatMapSingle { group ->
                group.toList().map { modelsList -> WrappedModel(group.key, modelsList) }
            }
    val wrappedModelsList = wrappedModels.toList()
    val wrappedModelsVal = wrappedModelsList.blockingGet()
    Assert.assertNotNull(wrappedModelsVal)
    Assert.assertEquals(3, wrappedModelsVal.size)

}

data class Model(val month: Int, val data: String)
data class WrappedModel(val month: Int?, val data: List<Model>)

It produces output
[WrappedModel(month=1, data=[Model(month=1, data=1), Model(month=1, data=3)]),
 WrappedModel(month=2, data=[Model(month=2, data=2)]),
 WrappedModel(month=3, data=[Model(month=3, data=4)])]
I think you are mostly interested how wrappedModels val is constructed

A: One of the RxJava implementation of your given code snippet can be done into following way:
Single.<List<MyModel>>create(subscriber -> {
        List<MyModel> models = database.myModelDao().getMyModels();
        subscriber.onSuccess(models);
    }).subscribeOn(Schedulers.io()).map(models -> {
        Map<Integer, List<MyModel>> orderedData = new HashMap<>();
        for(MyModel model : models) {
            if(orderedData.get(model.getMonth()) == null) {
                orderedData.put(model.getMonth(), new ArrayList<MyModel>());
            }
            orderedData.get(model.getMonth()).add(model);
        }
        final ArrayList<MyModelWrapper> recordedModels = new ArrayList<>();
        for (Map.Entry<Integer, List<MyModel>> cursor : recordedModels.entrySet()) {
            List<MyModel> myModelRecords = cursor.getValue();
            MyModelWrapper modelWrapper = new MyModelWrapper()
                    .setMyModels(myModelRecords)
                    .setMonth(cursor.getKey());
            recordedModels.add(modelWrapper);
        }
        return recordedModels;
    }).subscribe(recordedModels -> {
        // this is where you get your converted list
    }, error -> {
        // handle exception if any
    });

I can't see any returned Flowable in your code that you mentioned in your question. Check the given example and let me know if it works or not.

If looking for some adventure, Crusade of Fortune will definitely do as this fantasy video slot will draw you into a fantasy world featuring mystical animations involving orcs, wizards, dwarves and much more characters and attributes related to a fantasy themed video slot. As usual with video slots designed by Net Entertainment, also Crusade of Fortune is filled with extra features such as a Wild, Scatter, Free Spins and a Bonus game. Not just a bonus game, but one dragging you into a situation you will have to come up for yourself as you don't want to be defeated by an ugly Orc. Pay attention so you can make the right decisions, and not only because the aim is to win the biggest cash prizes, but to steal what is so precious for the Orc.
Going on a personal crusade you will meet many different characters on the way and when you like films as The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, you are definitely at the right place with the Crusade of Fortune video slot. The theme could have been inspired by these films since the same atmosphere is created by the developers including bloodthirsty orcs, dwarves, elves, wizards and witch hunters. I can tell you it's quite busy on the five reels Crusade of Fortune consist of, just because no card symbols have been used and all symbols show one of the fantasy characters, completed by hammers, shields and swords. While the symbols on the five reels perfectly fit the theme, that's not all the designers have been concentrating on as the setting of the game is filled with fire and brimstone, bordered with gothic graphics including skulls with blood red eyes. The fantasy characters will draw you into another world once you start to play Crusade of Fortune, but the paytable takes you back in time as it looks like a historic map telling you all about the hidden features this fantastic designed video slot has to offer.
With twenty bet lines and five different coin values Crusade of Fortune isn't much different than other Netent video slots, but I do see one significant difference compared to other slots as there are twenty bet levels, the highest I have seen so far. This will give you the opportunity to choose from several betting options starting from 0.20, when all bet lines are activated, up to 80.00 if you decide to play with the highest level and the highest coin value. With this wide range of betting options Crusade of Fortune is perfect for all type of players, including high rollers.
Looking for some adventure in your life after a 9 to 5 day at work? Crusade of Fortune gives you the opportunity to start your own personal crusade and on the way you'll not only meet some mysterious characters, but if lucky some very fortunate features too. There is not one feature missing in this fantasy video slot, which makes Crusade of Fortune even more exciting than other fantasy slots like Tales of Krakow and Excalibur which you can find at the may Netent Casinos.
The wizard uses her magic as a Wild symbol, which can substitute for any other symbol to complete a winning combination, except the Scatter symbol and Bonus symbol. Just as most Netent video slots Crusade of Fortune offers a Scatter symbol, but this time in the appearance of an axe wielding dwarf. Wins with Scatter symbols pay the Multiplier as displayed in the paytable, multiplied by the total bet. In addition three or more Scatters activate Free Spins. You'll win ten Free Spins with three icons, twenty Free Spins with four Scatters showing while the maximum amount of thirty Free spins will be activated when five Scatters are visible anywhere on the reels. To make this video slot even more worth playing the designers from Net Entertainment added a x3 Multiplier valid for all winnings made during Free Spins.
You will fight Zombies in the Zombies video slot, and you'll try to keep away the enemies in Scarface, but in Crusade of Fortune it's time for you to wield your sword against a bloodthirsty orc. This adventure starts when three or more bonus symbols appear on an active bet line. During this bonus round you battle against an evil Orc with successful blows or defensive moves paying cash prizes. While you have to defend yourself, you'll eventually aim to slay the orc and steal his precious treasure. Click one of the three swords to select your attack: high, middle, or low. You will attack the Orc using the strike selected and the Orc blocks the attack using one of the three positions high, medium, low. This same counts when the Orc starts to attack you, but this time a shield is chosen before the Orc attacks. Defend well and attack even better to win the battle and steal what's so precious to the Orc. Let the battle begin!

The World's First Truly International Shamisen Album!
Three shamisen masters creating a landmark album, fusing the traditional Japanese instrument with folk music from around the world!
Kyle Abbott
Santa Cruz, CA World Music
pledged of $6,000 goal
Meet the Shamisen
Hi, I'm Kyle Abbott, and I play the tsugaru shamisen, a Japanese three stringed banjo from Northern Japan, played with a spatula-like plectrum. But don't let that simplistic description fool you. The sharp percussion from plectrum strikes, combined with the virtually limitless melodic abilities, make the tsugaru shamisen one of the most captivating instruments. I started dabbling with the shamisen when I was 16. I'm now 23 and haven't stopped.
Over the past few years, I've become very involved with the global shamisen community, going so far as to write the first English-language book on the shamisen, and establishing the first online community dedicated to the instrument, which I've dubbed Bachido.
About This CD
This CD is not only unique because the main instrument is shamisen. It's also very unique among shamisen-based albums in Japan. Generally, there are two kinds of shamisen albums. First: traditional Japanese music with traditional style shamisen and other Japanese instrumentation or vocals. Second: modern fusion, usually a backup instrumentation with shamisen loudly in the foreground screaming, "Hey look! A shamisen can play with other instruments!" Don't get me wrong, it's great that the shamisen is being used in modern music. However, when my two friends and shamisen legends Kevin Kmetz and Masahiro Nitta invited me to Japan to record this album, I wanted to make it unique; an album with the shamisen appropriately included in an diverse ensemble, not the shamisen solely standing out in front of the ensemble.
Around this time in 2012, I started Bachido, an international community for shamisen players to come together around the world. On this website, there are shamisen enthusiasts from Europe, Australia, Canada, America, South America, and of course, Japan. With this world-based community building, we decided that the theme of this album should be about combining shamisen with music from world cultures (for example, Bolivia, Russia, and Tuva). Surprisingly, we found that shamisen fits in with... well, pretty much anything!
What's Been Done
First, Masahiro Nitta (a National Shamisen Champion in Japan, by the way) invited me to Sapporo Japan to record all of the shamisen tracks in his recording studio, along with Kevin Kmetz.
After returning to California, many talented musician friends helped me to add other instrumentation and vocals to the tracks, including:
strings (violin, viola, cello, bass)
drums and percussion, including taiko
morin khuur (Mongolian fiddle-like instrument)
Tuvan throat singing
Classical countertenor singing
The recordings turned out great! But I could only accomplish so much with my own mixing skills, so I took it to the professionals at Gadgetbox Studios who turned a full (but unpolished) mix into musical food for the soul.
Listen to these samples!
What's Needed?
I've done my best to keep costs to a minimum, handling as many aspects of the project myself as possible. However, between the professional mixing and mastering, travel expenses to bring all the musicians together, and other costs, I've had to take out a few thousand dollars in loans. I'm asking for your help to repay these loans and fund the project. Thank you!
Luckily, there is virtually no risk involved with the project at this stage.

MLB London: New York Yankees Team Profile
June 23, 2019 Sam Cox MLB, MLB London, New York Yankees 0
The New York Yankees are baseball's most famous franchise, their logo worn on baseball caps around the planet. The Yankees are one of the most valuable sporting organisations on the planet, ranked fifth in the world by Forbes, behind the Dallas Cowboys, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United.
The Yankees are heading across the Atlantic to take part in MLB's first ever London Series against their arch-rival Boston Red Sox. Here is some information about the iconic franchise from the Big Apple…
The Yankees are the most successful team in Major League Baseball history, boasting 27 World Series titles.
Before the glory years with Babe Ruth in the 1920s – who they signed from the Red Sox – the Yankees played at the Polo Grounds, sharing the stadium with the New York Giants. In the early part of the century, they were known as the New York Highlanders.
After losing to the Giants in the 1921 and 1922 World Series, the Yankees moved to their own home Yankee Stadium and won the title in '23. In the famous 1927 season, the Yankees line-up became known as 'Murderers' Row', led by Ruth and Lou Gehrig.
Titles followed throughout the years for the Yankees as did the star names. Once Ruth retired, Joe DiMaggio arrived, then it was Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford and Yogi Berra.
There was a barren period for the Yankees in the 1980s and 1990s before the Derek Jeter, Jorge Posada, Mariano Rivera and Andy Petitte core won four titles in five years from 1996 to 2000.
Their last championship came in 2009, the year they opened the new Yankee Stadium. Petitte, Rivera, Jeter and Posada remained, but they were joined by yet more stars, including Robinson Cano, Alex Rodriguez, CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira.
Although the Yankees had to wrestle some injuries in 2018, they still won 100 games and landed the top wildcard spot. They easily saw off the Oakland Athletics at Yankee Stadium in the one-game wildcard showdown, setting up a Division Series matchup with their London Series foes, the Boston Red Sox.
Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez missed extended periods, while Giancarlo Stanton settled in after his blockbuster trade from Miami. Didi Gregorius was ruled out for over a year and missed the postseason.
For what was a disrupted campaign, it was an impressive performance, even though it ended in a four-game defeat to Boston.
2019 season (so far)
Injuries have again been an issue for the Yankees, with Judge and Stanton just two of their stars missing considerable time. Gregorius, Stanton and Judge are all back in the line-up for the MLB London Series, however, but the Yankees are still without Luis Severino, Dellin Betances and Miguel Andujar.
Miraculously, the Yankees have still found a way to win plenty of games, sitting atop the American League East having caught the Tampa Bay Rays despite their own red-hot start.
Offseason signing DJ LeMahieu has been an integral part of New York's success this season, while a bounceback year from Sanchez has softened the blow of injuries to sluggers Andujar, Judge and Stanton.
Power, power and a bit more power. This Yankees line-up – with recent addition Edwin Encarnacion – is the best in baseball, it's packed with not just sluggers, but legitimately very good hitters from the raw power of Stanton, Judge and Encarnacion to the less explosive Gleyber Torres and LeMahieu.
The starting pitching isn't a disaster, but it's an area Brian Cashman will be looking to reinforce with Severino still unavailable. Sabathia, Masahiro Tanaka, J.A. Happ and James Paxton are solid, though it's undoubtedly the weakness of this deep, talented Yankees roster.
At the time of writing, we do not know who will start for the Yankees at the London Stadium.
Brian Cashman
JA Happ
James Paxton

Isle of Purbeck environmental research
Bournemouth University students, led by Dr Anita Diaz and Dr Liz Franklin, have been working with the National Trust and RSPB in Purbeck to monitor heathland habitats and develop more effective conservation methods for the area. The project stemmed from a long-standing relationship with both organisations and a desire to give students the opportunity to get involved practical conservation work.
During the summer of 2015, five teams of students from universities all over the country spent ten days carrying out surveys of plants and pollinators at 60 different heathland sites in the Purbecks. Each team was led by a BU undergraduate. Over the course of the ten days, the students amassed around 1,500 hours of surveying work, gathering huge amounts of data in the process. This has helped to build up a better picture of flora and fauna in the area and learn more about the effectiveness of current conservation management methods. The work is currently being extended by a new team of ten BU students who are staying in new camping facilities created for this co-creation partnership by the NT.
The benefits of co-creating research in this way have been felt by all parties involved. For the students, it has been a fantastic way of developing their skills and putting their academic knowledge into practice and bolstering their environmental experience, which will be a real advantage when it comes to applying for jobs in their final year. It's proved to be a great opportunity for BU's academics too, as it's allowed them to take their teaching into the real world.
But perhaps the most significant boost has been to the National Trust, RSPB and our local area as the extra manpower has enabled them to gather substantial amounts of data which will go on to inform conservation activities that will help to preserve the natural beauty of Purbeck for years to come.
Dr Anita Diaz, an Associate Professor in ecology, worked with Dr Liz Franklin to help set up the Purbecks SERT project.
"The project was the result of a long-standing relationship with the National Trust and RSPB in Purbeck, who wanted to carry out a series of ecological monitoring surveys, so that they could get a better understanding of how to shape their future conservation plans," says Anita.
"It seemed like a great opportunity to get BU students and students from other universities involved in hands-on environmental research, both to increase their skills and to increase our research capacity. Research with impact is something I really believe in and I like to bring my students along with me as it's such a good learning environment for them.
"Getting involved in research is a brilliant way for our students to build up their confidence, develop new skills and learn about the link between research and professional practice. As well as getting to put their academic knowledge into practice, they develop all sorts of soft skills and gain huge amounts of confidence as they realise what they're capable of. It's a real privilege to see them blossom into highly employable young people."
The student
BU undergraduate student, Kate Rickard, spent her summer as a team leader for the Purbeck project.
"I wanted to do something a bit different with my time and I knew that being a team leader would be a really great experience. I'm from Poole originally and love Purbeck, so I couldn't wait to get to live there for the duration of the project," explains Kate.
"As a team leader, I was responsible for four students from other universities. I had to make sure I knew which sites we were visiting, which methodology we would be using and look after the wellbeing of my team throughout the project. Before the residential aspect of the project started, all the team leaders worked with Anita and Liz to organise its logistics.
"Being a team leader was a great opportunity as it helped me to be more confident when interacting with people I don't know very well. I definitely improved my skills in identifying pollinators and plants as a result of working on the project. I also got to see how a scientific research project is planned, organised and carried out which was useful later on when I was designing my individual research project."
Michelle Brown is the Ecology Officer for the National Trust's Purbeck Estate and was the project lead for the National Trust.
"BU students have been involved with the National Trust since 2010, when they began assisting with our annual deer census survey, but it wasn't until the start of the Cyril Diver project in 2013 that our Student Environmental Research Teams (SERTs) took shape.
"Cyril Diver is a three-year project to ecologically survey the whole of the Studland Peninsula, following in the footsteps of Captain Cyril Diver, Studland's first champion of conservation," says Michelle, "We're going to compare our data to Captain Diver's so that we can analyse changes in the area over the last 80 years.
"I took over as project officer for the final year of the project and designed and supervised the 2015 SERT team's participation. As a former BU student, I am passionate about the collaboration of BU and National Trust Purbeck as a mutually beneficial opportunity. In this competitive industry, those who are able to demonstrate practical experience with conservation organisations, develop the skills that employers are looking for and make important connections in the conservation network are really able to increase their chances of standing out from the crowd.
"Over the course of three years, BU students have been involved in a number of different ecological surveys, including a botanical baseline of the Studland Peninsula, a damselfly and dragonfly nymph survey of ten key wetland areas and a survey of Purbeck heathlands. BU's students have proved to be a wonderful asset in carrying out both baseline habitat and targeted species surveys, contributing greatly to the survey effort and expanding their survey and identification skills as the next generation of biodiversity recorders.
"Their involvement has informed the analysis of 80 years of ecological change at the site, which in turn has informed the new site management plans for the national nature reserve and ensures that the National Trust can manage the site in the best way possible based on academically rigorous survey methodologies and reliable evidence.
"This is the largest Citizen Science project that the National Trust has embarked upon to date and has not only significantly increased our knowledge of the site and how to manage it most effectively, but has also formed the foundation of Citizen Science Biodiversity Recording in the National Trust.
"We are rolling out the project model across Purbeck, in collaboration with other conservation organisations. As well as this, the lessons learned are being disseminated throughout the National Trust at a national level with a view to establishing further Citizen Science biodiversity recording at other sites. The long-term aim is to embed Citizen Scientist biodiversity monitoring into what we do in the National Trust as a whole."

Netball: Willsher calls time at Jets
RILEY STUARTSouth Western Times
Mon, 26 September 2011 2:12PM
The Griffin Souwest Jets officially began their search for a new coach last week, after premiership-winning mastermind Michelle Willsher called time on her six-year stint at the club.
She sighted a desire to spend more time with her children as the principle motivator behind her decision.
''I finished this year really exhausted — physically and mentally more than any other year,'' Willsher said.
''I just couldn't see myself getting up for another year and did not feel that I'd be able to give the players 100 per cent of myself.
''That's really important — you have to be able to give that if you take over the role of head coach.''
The 36-year-old will continue in her role as the South West development officer for netball WA.
Willsher successfully oversaw their club's return to the top-flight SNL this year, in which they finished sixth with three wins from 18 games.
She took the reins of the Jets State Netball League side in 2005, and when that team was withdrawn from the competition in 2007 she coached their reserves where she won a premiership last year.
''It's a huge time commitment, but also a huge emotional commitment,'' she said.
''I've still got a young family, and I'd like to be able to spend a bit more time with them in the coming season.''
Willsher, who last year became the inaugural recipient of the South West Academy of Sport's Wally Foreman award for contribution to sport, could not rule out another stint at the club in the future.
''It's not a break for ever, I certainly feel that way, It's a break just for now,'' she said.
''I could certainly see myself back coaching at that level again but in what time frame I'm not sure at this stage.''
Souwest Jets coordinator Julie Hughes said Willsher would be missed by the WA netball community and said the club hoped to appoint a new coach before its player selection trials in November.

Lenin Moreno believes that giving Assange nationality did not help solve his case
Ecuadornews:
The president of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, deplored that granting the nationality to Julian Assange, asylum in the Ecuadorian embassy in London, did not help to solve the situation of the creator of WikiLeaks.
"It was a failed attempt that did not work (…) and, on the contrary, far from solving the problem, it became more difficult to do so," the president said at a meeting with the foreign press in Quito.
The Moreno government announced in December 2017 that it granted the nationality to Assange, who has been taking refuge since 2012 in the Ecuadorian legation in London to avoid being extradited to Sweden, which demanded him to face alleged sex crimes that he denies. The Australian now fears leaving the embassy, being arrested and ending up extradited to the United States for having spread thousands of official secrets of that country.
Moreno said that after the failed attempt with the naturalization of Assange, Ecuador applies another tactic to try to resolve the case. "In this new stage we have started where we should have started: talking with the authorities in England," he said.
The president emphasized that "we have started a very fruitful dialogue, in which they have given us some type of information so that we can use it for the benefit of international regulations and for the benefit of Mr. Assange's rights of life."
He added that "it is not within our desire, it is not in the desire of Mr. Assange to remain a refugee all his life that is why we have to find a solution, and if we do it together with the English government much better".
Moreno estimated that a settlement to the Assange case could be made in the "medium term". In March, Ecuador cut all communications with Assange outside by continuing to interfere in matters of other countries and warned that it could adopt "new measures in the face of the breach of the commitment" of the Australian not to interfere in these matters.
"We are going to protect him as far as his life is concerned." Of course, this also has conditions, the conditions have to be met and Mr. Assange has more than once exceeded those conditions and has made statements that do not correspond mainly to the policy of friendly countries, and that is not within their asylum rights, "Moreno said Wednesday.

10 Fascinating Economic Collapses Through History
Richard Urban
Since 2008 the United States has been in economic trouble. The current debate over the "fiscal cliff" has placed this economic distress and its origins back on the public radar. In retrospect, the origins of the housing bubble and Wall Street meltdown seem inevitable. There have been numerous financial meltdowns in the past that have their origins in even more bizarre and obviously flawed schemes. From ancient times to the present we seem to fall for economic schemes and the disasters that often result. This list takes a look, in chronological order, at some of the most intriguing economic collapses of history. We can feel a little better about our current situation as we consider the mistakes of our ancestors.
Diocletian Destroys Rome's Economy
Fourth Century AD
The Roman Empire was in decay when Diocletian became emperor in the fourth century. The economy was in disarray from a series of costly wars and previous emperor's building projects that left Rome near collapse. With Rome's currency worthless, Diocletian introduced a new system of coinage. At many times in history countries have risked economic turmoil to artificially increase the value of their currency. The issue with Diocletian's new money, however, was that it did the opposite. There was more gold in the coins than the face value stamped on them; the denomination on the coin lowered its value. In response to this insane idea most citizens melted the coins to make use of their higher scrap value. The result was rapid inflation within the Empire. Diocletian increased problems by placing a price ceiling on most goods to counter the inflation.
Diocletian's policies caused so much confusion that many Roman territories simply refused to follow the emperor's edicts. As matters worsened, Diocletian became the first Roman emperor to voluntarily leave the throne. His highly flawed economic policies weakened the cohesion of the empire and the status of emperor in addition to further damaging Rome's ailing economy.
Pazzi Conspiracy and Medici Banking Collapse
The Medici family was one of the leading families of Renaissance Italy. They controlled the politics of Florence; served as popes and assisted the rise of Leonardo DaVinci. The source of the family's wealth was rooted in the banking worldwide banking system they had founded in the late fourteenth century. Under the leadership of Cosimo de' Medici, the bank rapidly expanded and found itself overstretched by the time of his death. At the same time as the Medici were stretched to the limit the Pazzi and Salviaiti banking families attempted to replace them as rulers of Florence. On April 26, 1478, two members of the Medici family were assaulted at Mass in Florence. Despite the failure of the plot, the Medici were unable to reassert complete control. The Medici bank was characterized by its dangerously low cash reserves, usually around 10% of assets.
As the Pazzi Conspiracy and various wars reduced the competitiveness of the bank, it approached insolvency. As a result Lorenzo de' Medici taxed the citizens of Florence in the name of military defense to a near tyrannical level. Finally, in 1494 the bank collapsed due to this corruption, faulty investments, and incompetent management. After the bank collapsed, millions were lost from the Florentine economy and it took years for a complete recovery. Since the company had also defrauded the account of Charles VIII of France that paid for dowries the crisis had worldwide implications. ??
Spanish Inflation
Following Columbus's discovery of the New World, Spain began the search for gold in the New World. For decades the rich resources of the Americas made Spain one of the wealthiest nations on earth and allowed it to create a great empire. By the second half of the sixteenth century, however, the Spanish had increased mining to unprecedented levels. Rather counter intuitively this influx of wealth nearly destroyed Spain. The high levels of freshly minted gold and silver in Europe drove down the value of money and lead to hyper-inflation across Europe.
Combined with the wars that Spain fought to protect its empire, the inflation damaged the economy beyond repair. Instead of reaping great wealth, Spain ended up defaulting on its debt several times. This economic turmoil pushed the Spanish Empire into decline and allowed the British to begin creating an empire of their own.
Bermuda's Hog Money
Several powerful trading companies drove the spread of the British Empire in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Bermuda was colonized with the help of several of these companies. Once the colony was established the colonists were put to work making these companies money. The workers were paid in company credit instead of wages, similar to coal companies in the nineteenth century. When Daniel Tucker was appointed governor of Bermuda he abandoned the credit practiced and introduced his own coins minted from brass.
With the monetary system only worth what Tucker declared it to be, the colonists overthrew the governor. Complete economic ruin was only prevented by the fact that Bermuda was an island and isolated. With no monetary system, the colonists resorted to using tobacco as a form of currency.
Tipper and See-Saw
When countries rapidly increase their debt to finance wars the result is never good. In the seventeenth century there was no way to insure effective taxation so the states of the Holy Roman Empire began to mint money to raise revenue for the Thirty Years Wars. To do this the empire removed coinage from circulation, melted them down and mixed them with lower value metals. The name of the crisis refers to the scales used to weigh the money before it was melted down. These debased coins were then spent in foreign territories, to limit the economic damage that might occur to the empire.
Eventually, the debased coins returned to territories of the Holy Roman Empire in the form of duties and taxes. As the public became aware of the practice there were riots, soldiers refused to accept the debased coinage as pay, and seditious pamphlets were distributed. The money eventually became so worthless children played with the coins in the streets. The resulting rise in prices also crippled the economies of many states within the empire.
Tulipmania Hits the Netherlands
Perhaps the most bizarre economic crisis on this list, Tulipmania holds the distinction of being the first recorded economic bubble. When the tulip flower was introduced to the Netherlands in the early 1600s it became instantly popular. In the first true "consumer craze" Dutch citizens simply had to have the latest tulip. Since tulips only grow at certain times of the year, the Dutch set up a future's market. When tulips were not available consumers could purchase the rights to tulip bulbs when they became available.
Soon speculators began playing the future's market and drove the bulb prices to shocking levels. At the height of the bubble some bulbs sold for the equivalent of an average worker's ten years salary. The bubble burst in 1637 and the value of tulip bulbs fell back to previous levels. Just like the stock market crash in 2008, investors saw their money erased. The bizarre flower driven financial collapse erased many fortunes and left many investors penniless.
South Seas Bubble
The South Seas Bubble shows what can happen when speculators ignore several important limitations on their schemes. In the early eighteenth century, the British economy was suffering from government overspending. As a result, British investors were intrigued by the stories of plentiful gold in the Americas. To tap these riches, the South Seas Company was formed and the British monarchy granted it exclusive trading rights to South America. Despite the fact that Spain owned South America, making the British edict completely useless, investors flocked to the company.
The company, despite its obvious limitations, attracted so many investors that nearly a year's worth of Britain's GDP was invested. The stock skyrocketed on the British exchange. The company even investigated investing in the British national debt. Confidence was so high the Chancellor of the Exchequer had an investment account worth several hundred thousand pounds with the company. At the end of 1720, the South Seas Company stock was worth roughly 37 million pounds. Of course Spain refused to allow British adventures to remove their gold and the stock crashed. The resulting shockwave crippled the English economy and left many investors completely penniless. An entire generation of wealth was erased from the British economy.
Mississippi Bubble
Britain was not the only country to catch the speculation bug in the first quarter of the eighteenth century. When Louis XIV died, the French economy was completely exhausted from financing the wars that the Sun King had waged across Europe. The treasurer didn't even have enough gold to mint new coins. John Law, a French government economist, proposed creating a bank that would print paper money. The government circulated so much paper money that it was valued at five times the wealth of France.
To deal with the issue before it destroyed the French economy, Law informed the French citizenry that the new colony of Louisiana was filled with gold and an excellent investment opportunity. He hoped that the investment would allow government to obtain more actual wealth to solve the problem of the worthless notes. When the promised mountains of gold failed to appear from Louisiana, the bubble burst in 1720 and shares were devalued. What followed was a bank run when the value of Law's currency was halved and devastating inflation that crippled the French economy.
Confederacy Destroys its Economy
During the US Civil War, a major goal of the Confederate army was to secure diplomatic recognition from European nations. Since cotton was essential to the economies of England, France, and other nations, they cut off cotton exports to force recognition. The Union blockaded Confederate ports but was never able to efficiently limit Confederate blockade running until late in the war.
Combined with this Union blockade the decision to cut off cotton exports virtually extinguished Confederate trade revenues. The two factors lead to rampant inflation that made Confederate currency virtually worthless. When the Civil War ended, the economy of the South was in complete ruins.
Railroads and Silver Cripple America
The Panic of 1893 was the worst economic crisis in America until the Great Depression. As railroads became the dominant mode of transportation in the United States, speculators invested heavily in the technology. Many railroads simply overextended themselves and could not cover their expenses with revenues. In 1893, the giant Philadelphia and Reading Railroad collapsed under its own weight and declared bankruptcy.
At the same time as the railroads began to feel the damage of their mistakes, the silver market was rocked. The 1880s witnessed the discovery of several silver mines and the resulting production drove the value of silver down. The US Government sought to deal with the crisis by buying silver in attempt to artificially increase its value. Once the government stopped purchasing silver the crisis reached its full height. The resulting depression lasted until 1900 and witnessed the collapse of 16,000 businesses and 17%-19% unemployment at its peak.

Do you own a dog or cat? Halloween is approaching quickly, and it's one of the most dangerous holidays of the year for our four-legged companions! Fortunately, all it takes to keep your pet safe is a few simple precautions. Learn more here from a Tipp City, OH veterinarian.
Pets look adorable in costumes, there's no denying it—just make sure your animal friend stays safe when playing dress-up! Many animals don't take kindly to wearing clothing, especially if an outfit fits too tightly or loosely. Also make sure to examine your pet's costume for small parts that could be chewed off, choked on, or swallowed outright. You'll want to take steps to remove these items in order to make your pet's costume completely hazard-free.
One of the biggest dangers around Halloween and trick-or-treat night, of course, is treats. Chocolate of all types contains theobromine and caffeine, chemicals that are dangerous for our four-legged friends. Many candies, gums, and baked goods are sweetened with an artificial sugar substitute called xylitol; it's highly toxic to dogs and cats! Make sure that your pet stays far away from the treat bowl, and store all extra candy and chocolate goodies inside of a cabinet or drawer where your pet can't reach them.
While common fall-time decorations like pumpkins, gourds, and decorative corn stalks aren't toxic per say, they can prove harmful to pets who munch on them. Just about any foreign substance can cause vomiting if your pet eats too much of it; furthermore, bits of these decorations could present a choking hazard. Take care to keep your pet away. Also beware of wires and electrical cords running to and from electronic Halloween decorations, because you don't want your pet chewing on these or getting tangled.
Does your pet get wound up when they hear the doorbell ring? On trick-or-treat night, when the bell is likely to be ringing constantly, your pet may get worked up into an anxious frenzy! Pets could also dart out of the open door when trick-or-treaters arrive. If necessary, secure your companion in another room, and try playing music or a radio to mask the sound of the doorbell.
Does your beloved pet need veterinary attention? Do you have questions about their health or well-being? Give your Tipp City, OH animal clinic a call today for help.

Q: how to achieve nested loop in cucumber framework? I have a scenario, where i have to validate 30 links and in each link there are 24 values. So i have to click on every link in 30 links and then validate the 24 values in that link. How to achieve this in cucumber framework??
In normal java methods we can use 2 loops, in outer loop will input the list of 30 links then in inner loop will input the list of 24 values.
How to achieve nested loop in cucumber framework??
Thanks in advance
30 Links
24 Values

A: Say you have feature file like this
Feature: URLs and values

  Scenario: Validating URLs
    Given the following URL list:
      |http://my.url/1|
      |http://my.url/2|
      |http://my.url/3|
      |http://my.url/4|
    Then values are correspondingly equal to:
      |val 11|val 12|val 13|
      |val 21|val 22||
      |val 31|||
      |val 41|val 42|val 43|

Then first of all you need to add Picocontainer dependency to your project:
<dependency>
    <groupId>io.cucumber</groupId>
    <artifactId>cucumber-picocontainer</artifactId>
    <version>7.0.0</version>
    <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

N.B. - Version has to match your cucumber version
Then you implement your step defs like this:
package click.webelement.cucumber;

import io.cucumber.java.en.Given;
import io.cucumber.java.en.Then;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

public class DataTablesStepDef {

    ArrayList<String> urls;

    public DataTablesStepDef(ArrayList<String> urls){
        this.urls = urls;
    }

    @Given("the following URL list:")
    public void urlList(List<String> urls){
        this.urls.addAll(urls);
    }

    @Then("values are correspondingly equal to:")
    public void validateValues(List<List<String>> values){
        for(int i = 0; i < urls.size(); i++){
            for(int j = 0; j < values.get(i).size(); j++){
                String value = values.get(i).get(j);
                if(value != null){
                    System.out.println("Validating value["
                            +  value
                            + "] for url: " + urls.get(i));
                }
            }
        }
    }

}

Let's now look at the output:
Validating value[val 11] for url: http://my.url/1
Validating value[val 12] for url: http://my.url/1
Validating value[val 13] for url: http://my.url/1
Validating value[val 21] for url: http://my.url/2
Validating value[val 22] for url: http://my.url/2
Validating value[val 31] for url: http://my.url/3
Validating value[val 41] for url: http://my.url/4
Validating value[val 42] for url: http://my.url/4
Validating value[val 43] for url: http://my.url/4
