Saints CB Marshon Lattimore Intercepted A Pass With His Butt
As teammates Marcus Williams and Craig Robertson dove over him, Lattimore reached back and grabbed the ball for an interception. The Who-Dats are now 11-4 on the season with one game left to play.

Brees became only the third quarterback in National Football League history to eclipse 70,000 career yards passing, joining Peyton Manning and Brett Favre . (more...)
Broncos QB Brock Osweiler expected to start in Week 16
For the Broncos, though, these last two games could have afforded opportunities to evaluate Lynch , their 2016 first-round pick who has played in just four games, starting in three, in his two seasons with the team. 3 receiver, and Emmanuel Sanders , the No. 2 pass catcher, did not make the trip here because of injuries. As a result, Lynch will be limited to the understudy role Sunday, but the expectation is that if he endures no further setbacks with the sprained ankle, he'll receive the ... (more...)
Wilshere looking to seal regular first-team spot at Arsenal
On loan at Bournemouth last season, Arsenal fans are witnessing Wilshere fully fit for the first time in years. Asked if a deal may be sorted out soon, Wenger said: "It might".

James Harden first since Wilt Chamberlain to net 50 in consecutive losses
In fact, the Rockets are only a half game ahead of the Warriors for the league's best record, but they are four games up on the Spurs and at least seven over everyone else. While concerned about the team's health, D'Antoni isn't ready to panic. With Clint Capela and Trevor Ariza headed toward free agency, just bringing this group back could vault Houston well into the luxury tax. (more...)

England's injured Overton out of Melbourne Test
There was also a further rejoinder from Starc about England's suggestions, made first to the umpires in Brisbane and this week raised again in a column by the former captain Mike Atherton , that the umpires needed to consider the number of short-pitched deliveries they were allowing the Australian pacemen to bowl at the touring tail, relative to the game's laws about risky bowling .

Middlesbrough sack Garry Monk despite victory against Sheff United

Lonzo Ball, Kyle Kuzma Shine Despite Lakers' Loss to Kevin Durant, Warriors
There were ugly offensive moments from both All-Stars, but it is a testament to their overall ability and Durant's tendency to come through in the biggest moments that they were still able to secure the win. Klay Thompson bounced back from his very bad 6-of-24 shooting performance against the Lakers to drop 29 points on 10-of-16 from the field.

Toronto Maple Leafs vs. New York Rangers: NHL Odds, Prediction
So it goes in a league that encourages obfuscation when it comes to injuries - don't you just love all the upper-body and lower-body nonsense? - and with a team that takes that to the nth degree.

North Central Texas Council of Governments director Michael Morris is pointedly ignoring a report by the Texas Public Interest Research Group that called the Trinity toll road a "boondoggle." The report showed that the toll road would have laughably small impact on alleviating traffic. Drivers would go only about 2 mph faster in 2035 than they do now, and congestion won't go away.
Approximately 1,500 people from Rockwall, Collin, Hunt and Dallas attended a meeting with the North Central Texas Council of Governments and Texas Turnpike Corporation to discuss the Northeast Gateway, a toll road that will connect I-30 with Bush Turnpike. The crowd's response to the proposal was scathingly negative; Wylie resident Christine Hubley, who accused the NCTCOG of being dishonest, has created a petition at Notollroad.com. You'd think if anyone liked Michael Morris, it would be the suburbs; but nobody does.
Airline story No. 1 was the landing at DFW Airport of the largest passenger jet in the world, the Airbus A380, which will fly the longest nonstop route in the world. The plane will make six nonstop flights per week, from Wednesday through Monday (sorry, no Tuesdays), on Qantas Airways between DFW and Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney, Australia. The flights will take about 15 hours. To give the announcement the proper celebrity buzz, Qantas drafted John Travolta's beard to usher in the first flight; Travolta serves as the airline's ambassador.
Airline story No. 2 was the horrid squeeze-out of Delta Airlines at Dallas Love Field, effective October 13. With the Wright Amendment about to go away, a scramble is underway. Love Field has 20 gates total. Southwest Airlines controls 16, and United controls two. Virgin America just got two. Delta was about to increase its number of flights as well as destinations. Getting Delta out of the way helps United, which is handing over one of its two gates to Southwest and will use the other gate for flights to Houston.
D Magazine launched a new blog called StreetSmart that will fold in Walkable DFW, the 6-year-old transportation blog of urban planner Patrick Kennedy. It will focus on urban planning, housing, neighborhood and transportation issues.


Two Bears Farm and the Three Cubs: Have you had Mochi?
The summer of 2007 I ran in the San Francisco marathon. In addition to falling in love with the city, I was introduced that summer to a new delicacy. My friend Katie gave me a little ball of ice cream from Trader Joe's called mochi. I've loved them ever since.
Of course we don't have a Trader Joe's in Roanoke (insert mad face). But whenever we have a chance out of town we always stop in. When we went to Trader Joe's in Greenville, Pierce immediately said, "Mom, can we get some mochi?!" Even though it had been a year since we went to Williamsburg, Pierce still remembered the mochi we got there. Guess I'm not the only fan in my family.
In fact, Pierce is still complaining that we couldn't bring some home with us, but I didn't feel it would survive the long drive plus a detour through Asheville and the NC Arboretum.
Readers, have you ever tried mochi? If so, what's your favorite flavor? I don't like the green tea, but I do love the others, and mango is probably my favorite.
I've never tried it but if I ever find a Trader Joe's I certainly will!
Sounds great !!! Have a wonderful day !!!
We haven't tried it, but think my guys would love it.
No I sure haven't, but you know you have me on a mission to do so now!
I have never heard of nor tried Mochi!! I have tried Green Tea ice cream in a Japanese restaurant before though. Wonder if it is maybe the same thing.
Nope never had it! I see people blogging about stuff they bought from Trader Joe's ALL the time! And cool stuff that I would love to try out. Makes me sad that we don't have one here in Florida!
I just looked and they actually do have Trader Joe's in Florida but all the locations are 4+ hours away from where I live. >:[ So I won't be going there after all. lol sigh.
I've never tried a mochi, but they look good. Anything mango flavored has to be good! I've never been to a Trader Joe's either, but I keep reading about them. If there aren't any in Roanoke, I know there aren't any in Lynchburg.
LOVING this post!!!!!! Because we have a new Trader Joe's in Charlottesville, and every time I go, I pick these up and look. But I have never bought any. For one thing, do you think they would be alright in a cooler with ice bags on the half hour trip home?? They are so small I am afraid they may melt. Because now I really want to try them! Are they dipped in chocolate, the box really does not say much about them.
Never heard of it--or tried it. I'll have to look for it sometime... Sounds good. I love ANYTHING mango!!!!
Have a Joes close ,will give it a try.
Nope, never even heard of it! When we lived in St. Louis we went to Trader Joe's all the time, but that was several years ago.
Never heard of this (enter sad face here). I will look for it!
I've never heard of it. But, now you have me intrigued.
Oh wow! These look delish. Trader Joe's in one of the few things I miss from Vegas. There is one in Kansas City, I will have to try these next time we are up there.
I heard a rumor that Trader Joe's is coming to Baton Rouge. I sure hope it's true. These look wonderful.
I've never tried it. But now I want to.

Q: Javascript function reference best practices function name( elements ){

    init( elements );

    var ret = {
        add : function( more ){
            $.extend(elements, more);
            init( more );
        }
    }

    function init( el ){
        $.each(el,function(name, selector){
            //some stuff....
        });
    }

    return ret;
}

I use this structure (that I've created by myself) very much...it's very simple and good to do thinks like this without use objects:
var reference = name({ one : $('#one'), two : $('#two') });

//and in a second moment...
reverence.add({ three : $('#tree') });

Is this a good practice or it isn't? is it better to use objects and istances? why?

A: In my opinion, constructors and prototypes (JavaScript's equivalent to traditional classes) lead to more readable and maintainable code. I had to read your example three times to figure out what it's doing (basically, creating a dictionary structure with an 'add' method).
Prototypes are more javascript-y, and use a paradigm that is common and well-known — and much simpler for someone else, or for you two years from now, to look back at and understand.
Consider how much easier the following is to read:
/** @constructor */
function Name(elememts) {
    this.elements = this._init(elements)
}

Name.prototype.add = function(more) {
    $.extend(this.elements, this._init(more));
}

Name.prototype._init = function(elements) {
    // some stuff...
}

Your method does get the advantage of hiding private functions. With traditional prototypical inheritance there is no 'private' keyword, so it's up to you to remember not to call a private method from outside the object itself. (Google's Closure Compiler does have a @private annotation and it will help you enforce it, but it's not exactly a perfect system.)

A: I recommend you to use closures ... they are powerful thing in javascript... :)
var status = function (status) {
return {
get_status: function ( ) {
return status;
}
};
};

// Make an instance of status.
    var myStatus = status("amazed");
    document.writeln(myStatus.get_status( ));

The action of this short novella takes place in Castle Rock, Maine, which is King's version of America, Anywhere. In his latest work (created together with his friend Richard Chizmar who came up with the ending), he tells a story of young Gwendy. She is a 12-year old obese girl who will be starting middle school after summer holidays. She is determined to change her looks by taking a run up long stairs (know as Suicide Stairs), which lead to a cliff side. One day she meets a mysterious stranger, who invites her to palaver. That word alone caused me to expect some Dark Tower references here and I was a bit worried that it might be just another story loosely connected to that universe, only to increase sales. Fortunately, it isn't so.
Gwendy receives a small wooden box with several buttons in different colors. She is to become its keeper and after brief, obscure explanation of some of the functions, she returns home. She doesn't know it yet, but her entire life will be greatly affected by this event.
The plot isn't complicated. We mainly follow Gwendy's adolescence and watch her become a young woman. There aren't many shocking events, cliff-hangers but the story is presented in a clear, elegant way. It's easy to identify with Gwendy as she is what can be called an Everyman.
The audiobook is read by Magge Siff (Tara from Sons of Anarchy), who does a really good job. Gwendy's Button Box is not very deep or innovative, but it goes by really fast and I really enjoyed it.

Hold Me by Susan Mallery
ABOUT THE BOOK: New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery's classic blend of lighthearted humor and intense emotional conflict works its magic on two newcomers to the California town of Fool's Gold, which Library Journal calls "a setting so real and appealing readers will want to start scoping out real estate."
Destiny Mills believes passion has its place—like in the lyrics of the country songs that made her parents famous. After a childhood full of drama and heartache, she wants a life that's calm. Safe. Everything that Kipling Gilmore isn't. Her temporary assignment with the Fool's Gold search and rescue team puts her in delicious proximity to the former world-class skier every day. Part of her aches to let go for once…the rest is terrified what'll happen if she does.
Though an accident ended his career, Kipling still lives for thrills—and a hot fling with a gorgeous redhead like Destiny would be a welcome diversion. Yet beneath his new coworker's cool facade is a woman who needs more than he's ever given. With her, he's ready to take the risk. But love, like skiing, is all about trust—and before you soar, you have to be willing to fall.
MANDY'S REVIEW: Susan Mallery does it again, another great book from Fool's Gold. In this book we meet Destiny and Kipling who have to work together to improve the search and rescue unit in town. This is a great story about love, heartache, and forgiveness. You can never go wrong with a book from Susan Mallery. I think this is one of my favorites from Fool's Gold. The reader can not help but feel they are part of the story when reading this book. I highly recommend it. I give is 4 stars.
The Midnight Witch by Paula Brackston
ABOUT THE BOOK: "The dead are seldom silent. All that is required for them to be heard is that someone be willing to listen. I have been listening to the dead all my life."
Lilith is the daughter of the sixth Duke of Radnor. She is one of the most beautiful young women in London and engaged to the city's most eligible bachelor. She is also a witch.
When her father dies, her hapless brother Freddie takes the title. But it is Lilith, instructed in the art of necromancy, who inherits their father's role as Head Witch of the Lazarus Coven. And it is Lilith who must face the threat of the Sentinels, a powerful group of sorcerers intent on reclaiming the Elixir from the coven's guardianship for their own dark purposes. Lilith knows the Lazarus creed: secrecy and silence. To abandon either would put both the coven and all she holds dear in grave danger. She has spent her life honoring it, right down to her charming fiancé and fellow witch, Viscount Louis Harcourt.
Until the day she meets Bram, a talented artist who is neither a witch nor a member of her class. With him, she must not be secret and silent. Despite her loyalty to the coven and duty to her family, Lilith cannot keep her life as a witch hidden from the man she loves.
To tell him will risk everything.
Spanning the opulence of Edwardian London and the dark days of World War I, The Midnight Witch is the third novel from New York Timesbestselling author Paula Brackston.
Mandy's Review: Great book to read. I liked how the author developed the story line and kept the reader engaged. It was good book for those who like witches and these types of book. Pick it up today. I give it 3 stars.
Ten Days in Paradise by Linda Abbott
ABOUT THE BOOK: Vacationing on beautiful Sanibel Island off Florida's Gulf Coast, Ellen Bennett has never felt so guilty—or more alive.
This wasn't the way things were supposed to turn out. The 45-year-old successful career woman, wife and mother traveled to the island paradise for solitude and a much-needed break from her family. But a chance encounter with a fellow traveler sparks a powerful attraction, forcing Ellen to make a decision that could change her life forever.
Against an idyllic backdrop of white sand beaches, azure waters and lush palms, Ellen struggles to subdue a firestorm of emotions. David, the father of three young children, confronts the fault lines in his own marriage that lead to a stunning revelation.
Their relationship unfolds as David's family gathers on Sanibel to celebrate their parents' 50th wedding anniversary. Tensions are running high. David's mother is worried about her husband's strange behavior and inexplicable memory lapses. His sisters, Julia, an over-achieving corporate exec, and Maggie, a hard-partying renegade who just announced she's gay and leaving her husband, haven't spoken for months.
On the island, a small congregation battles to save a beloved seaside chapel to make room for a lavish oceanfront mansion. Ellen takes up the cause when she meets 76-year-old Liz Taylor, a vivacious widow with a sparkling wit and a secret passion of her own.
A compelling and heartfelt novel, Ten Days in Paradise masterfully explores the inner landscapes of marriage and family relationships.
MANDY'S REVIEW: Linda Abbott is a brilliant writer. This is a wonderful story about life, love, family and all the ups and downs that come with it. Linda know hows to keep the reader entertained and coming back for more. I recommend this book for everyone. It was a great read. I give it 3 stars.
The Deputy's Redemption by Delores Fossen
ABOUT THE BOOK: The woman fleeing a cold-blooded killer is no stranger to Deputy Colt McKinnon. Fourteen years ago, Elise Nichols was the love of his life. Now she's back in Sweetwater Springs—to be the star witness in an upcoming murder trial that could tear the Texas lawman's family apart.
With her explosive revelations certain to rock the town, Elise didn't expect to be welcomed home with open arms. Certainly not by the cowboy with the badge who once meant everything to her. But after being run off the road and shot at, she has no choice but to trust him. Even more dangerous is the desire that's reigniting, making Elise yearn for something she may not live to see.
MANDY'S REVIEW: This book is a great addition to the Sweetwater Ranch series. This is the story of Colt and Elise with lots of twists, turns, passion and love. It was a great and quick read. I would recommend this book to everyone, especially cowboy lovers. I give it 4 stars.

The Marine's Temptation by Jennifer Morey
ABOUT THE BOOK: Shocking discoveries rock the Adairs…and a determined librarian can't help falling for one of this dynasty's rugged heroes!
It's true that money can't buy happiness. Librarian Georgia Mason has seen one wealthy Adair ruin her stepmother's life and swears she won't get involved with his son Carson. So what if he's a hot former special ops soldier who showers her with extravagant gifts? But he is the sexiest man she's ever met and it's hard to hate him for searching for his long-lost stepbrother, or tracking down the traitor behind his botched mission. And when Georgia faces life-threatening danger, Carson protects her, igniting their scorching passion. Maybe love of money isn't the root of all evil. Maybe there's more to Carson to trust, respect…and love.
MANDY'S REVIEW: This a great, quick read. I really enjoyed the mystery, suspense, love and determination in this book. It was great to read about Carson stepping up to the plate and get things done. I highly recommend this book. I give it 4 stars.

Not available – first paragraph follows: More than 40 million of California's 100 million acres are rangelands. The forest, grassland, and rangeland environments comprise about two-thirds of the land area of the state, and more than 50 million acres are grazed. The desert saltbush, an abundant, shrubby inhabitant of some of California's driest, saltiest rangelands, is one of many salt-tolerant shrubs, trees, and grasses that have become increasingly valuable as resources for arid and saline lands. These salt-tolerant plants (halophytes) provide forage for livestock and wildlife in range-lands throughout the West. Furthermore, many have been shown to be adaptable to genetic manipulation by selection or breeding.

Directions; From Elstow High Street, turn into Church End. Drive to the far end of the village green and then bear left onto the Abbey Church's car park. In the stone wall, you will see a set of oak gates leading into the churchyard. Walk through that gateway and follow the pathway, past the belltower and, just past the western doors of the Abbey, you will find Elstow Tea Garden on the right, opposite the ruins of Hillersden's Mansion.

Close Brothers Asset Finance funds cutting-edge printing press for Richline Graphics
Close Brothers Asset Finance has funded a cutting edge XL75-5+L Heidelberg press for long-standing customer, Richline Graphics, under the CBILS (Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme) scheme.
Established in 1993, Richline Graphics is a traditional commercial printer based in the heart of South East London.
Ryan Coughlan Area Sales Manager at Close Brothers Asset Finance's Print division said: "We've been working with Richline Graphics for a long time and during that period we've established a strong commercial relationship, and we are delighted to fund this essential piece of kit, agreeing a deal that will keep payments affordable, which is particularly important given how hard businesses have been hit this past year.
"I would also like to thank Exel Printing Machinery who supplied the machine and were – as always – responsive, helpful and professional throughout.
"It's genuinely encouraging for the print and packaging sector that firms are still investing and looking to grow and expand even in this difficult time, and as a funder with a long and proud history of supporting the industry, we are looking forward to continuing to play our part."
Simon Russell, Director at Richline Graphics, added: "The newer, faster press will enable us to compete and win business that is currently beyond our reach. The XL will make us more competitive on the multi makeready and longer run projects we are being offered.
"Having won a couple of major new contracts, we are expecting to hopefully exceed pre-Covid levels of trade, but in order to do that we needed this new machine. I'm always reassured by having Close Brothers Asset Finance on board as our funding partner because of their ability to put together flexible, bespoke deals that work for us both now and in the future."

Q: Qt Designer error with Python throwing error when I try to load image I'm trying to load a logo into a python scripts UI.  I'm using Qt Designer and I created a label and set pixmap to the image.  The image loads fine in the designer but when I import the ui file into the python script I get this error message
C:\Users\Mason\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\python.exe "C:/Users/Mason/PycharmProjects/Inspector/Tester/main.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/Mason/PycharmProjects/Inspector/Tester/main.py", line 9, in <module>
    UIClass, QtBaseClass = uic.loadUiType("ui5.ui")
  File "C:\Users\Mason\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\PyQt5\uic\__init__.py", line 201, in loadUiType
    exec(code_string.getvalue(), ui_globals)
  File "<string>", line 30
    import 3_rc

I still get that error even if I take the image out of the ui file and reload it.  What am I doing wrong?
from PyQt5 import QtCore, uic, QtWidgets
from PyQt5.QtCore import pyqtSlot
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QDialog
from PyQt5.uic import loadUi
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon, QPixmap
import sys

UIClass, QtBaseClass = uic.loadUiType("ui5.ui")

class MyApp(UIClass, QtBaseClass):
    def __init__(self):
        UIClass.__init__(self)
        QtBaseClass.__init__(self)
        self.setupUi(self)
        self.pushButton.clicked.connect(self.on_pushbutton_click)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app = QtWidgets.QApplication(sys.argv)
    window = MyApp()
    window.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

A: Qt relies on a resource system for images and other assets. When you add an image in qt designer, it creates a resource file. You have to convert that resource file, just like with a ui file (uic is a shortcut to this process). The autogenerated ui file you get with uic is looking for that resource file, but can't find it.
You can convert your resource file to python with this, depending on your qt version:
pyrcc5 -o 3_rc.py your_resource_file_here.qrc

HOMOUROBOROS
Peter Hudson (2010)
Installed: October 24, 2013 – January 6, 2014
Embarcadero: Pier 15, Exploratorium
The spectacular, interactive zoetrope's tree-like steel frame and cloud-shaped "mushroom"canopy featured 18 human-sized monkeys that dangled from its branches. By pounding on drums built into the base of the trunk, spectators would cause the top of the tree to spin, turning the monkeys on their branches into a vision-bending arboreal escapade. Strobe lights at night and special goggles during the day completed the Homouroboros experience – a phenomenon of the eye called "persistence of vision" that turned the 18 monkeys into a three-dimensional motion picture. The monkeys appeared as a single, animated monkey who snatched an apple from the mouth of a serpent slithering down a branch. Closer inspection revealed the mouth of the serpent was in the shape of a human hand.
Artist: Raised in Ben Lomond, and now based in Oakland and San Francisco, Peter Hudson channels his technical and set-design expertise, curiosity, and creative passion into life-size stroboscopic zoetropes. He debuted his first major installation Playa Swimmers at Burning Man 2000. In 2002, his work Possession garnered international attention when it was featured on the cover of the Italian edition of Rolling Stone magazine. Peter has unveiled many creations at Burning Man, and in 2011 returned to Black Rock City after orchestrating nearly 100 volunteers working for 9 months and 6000 hours to bring the ferryman from Greek mythology to life in his three-dimensional stroboscopic work Charon.


While most people don't like to talk about it, the fact is that everyone passes away eventually. Knowing that something will happen sooner or later provides the opportunity to make preparations in advance. Visiting one of the local Funeral Homes in Orange City FL and working with a director to set up plans in advance is one of the smartest things anyone can do. Here are some of the reasons why this approach is the only way to go.
It is only when an individual gets into the process of making final arrangements that all the details begin to surface. Even people who think they've done a good job of making all the decisions will find that there are still more details to be worked out. Choosing to address all these matters with a professional in advance will mean that loved ones are not left to wonder what the deceased party would have wanted. With every last action item addressed, all they have to do is follow through with the arrangements already made.
While some people want a funeral that is as lavish as possible, others prefer something that is more subdued. The last thing anyone wants is for loved ones to go into debt just to pay for a funeral and burial that they really can't afford. By visiting one of the local Funeral Homes in Orange City FL and getting help from a professional, it is possible to settle on arrangements that can be paid for in advance. That will leave little to no expense for loved ones to manage when the time comes.
Making arrangements in advance also provides the chance to provide solace to those left behind. Since the planning can include the preparation of an order for the funeral service, it is possible to select readings and music designed to help loved ones as they seek to deal with their grief. It is even possible to prepare a letter that can be shared with everyone at the service. These final words of comfort will be treasured by family and friends for years to come.
For those who see the wisdom of taking care of the final arrangements now, visit Fourtowns Cremation Inc. Once the task is done, it'll be easier to get back to the business of living.

Roxanne K. DeFlorin, a former state staffer who had the personal information of hundreds of public employees at her home, was convicted Wednesday of identity theft by a Ramsey County jury.
Representing herself at trial, the 50-year-old DeFlorin argued that her three co-defendants were the guilty parties and that she knew nothing of their crimes.
For their part, her co-conspirators had testified that she was trading the identity information for meth. Prosecutors had charged her with stealing identity from the state agency she worked for as well as the Public Employees Retirement Association of Minnesota database.

The most surprising Aha! moments come when we realize that something we have been absolutely sure about is completely untrue. Like a sudden ray of light into darkness we realize a new and liberating facet of truth. This can be the case when we gain some insight into the extremely common confusion between love and attachment. We pay an extreme prize for this error, and we pay it in suffering.
Before that clarity dawns, we don't know there can be another way. Even the dictionary tells us that attachment is another term for affection. This view is directly in conflict with the wisdom traditions. Attachment is clinging, and that is not love. Love never hurts, it is free and pristine, and attachment always must lead to pain.
Only when we can let things be the way they are do we have a clear mind. When we want things to be different than they are, we lose, because reality doesn't care about our opinions. Only by accepting reality as it is now can we perceive the world clearly. Only when we perceive the world clearly can we be effective and caring. And only when our mind is not filled with attachment and clinging can we have an open heart. One stressful though and our heart closes. That's inevitable!
The crucial significance of non-attachment became clear to my friend Bob when he had to take his parents to an adult living facility. There he learned a powerful lesson about what love really is.
It began with the realization that mom and dad just couldn't live in their nice home in the suburbs any longer. Even with help in the home, it was no longer safe. Dad would fall and bruise, and he even broke his arm. Mom also couldn't cope any longer. She'd burn food in the kitchen and could easily have set the whole house of fire. They were both in their nineties.
It was very difficult for them to say good-bye to their home. They understood the need to move, but with their mental clarity coming and going, often didn't know what was happening to them. Eventually Bob had them settled in a very good facility and went back home. Home is 2000 miles away.
He had seen how their attachment to their home had caused his parents pain, but the real teaching came for him when he returned to check in on them two months later. He was so happy to see them, but when he walked into the door he was greeted by a deep sense of depression and despair. There was nothing either of them could find good about their new home and they let him know in no uncertain terms how unhappy they were.
That night Bob went home in despair. He felt an intense heaviness in his chest. What was he to do? Moving them back home was out of the question. He wanted to relieve their pain and change their minds, but how? He seemed to be facing a hopeless situation.
That's when Bob remembered his skill of Inquiry. He realized that his pain did not originate from his parent's depression, but from his reaction to it. How was he going to be able to serve them better, with his mind and emotions in turmoil, or with a clear head and an open heart? So he sat down that night, pulled out a pad and pen and began to question his thinking.
His most disturbing though was, "My parents shouldn't have to suffer." He began the questioning process. Could he absolutely know that this was true? Of course it was what he, as a caring son, was supposed to think. All the voices in his mind, his entire conditioning told him so. And yet the undeniable fact was that they were suffering. His thinking was on a collision course with reality. He was waging a war in his mind he could only loose.
That was when he began to realize that this sacred belief simply wasn't true at all. He continued with the process of inquiry and described to himself in detail his reactions to believing this thought. It made him miserable. It made him crazy because he was looking so hard for a solution and there was none. It made him as depressed as his parents were.
Then he asked, "Who would I be without this thought?" He would be relaxed and have a clear mind. Would he love his parents any less? Of course not! But there was a crucial difference: without attaching himself to this untrue concept he may be able to be with them in a much better mood. And that might help them.
So Bob turned this thought around: "I shouldn't have to suffer." At first this seemed selfish to him, but he realized that his suffering had really nothing to do with his love for his parents. It was the outcome of attachment and confused thinking. If he didn't suffer, but had a clear mind instead, he might even find a solution to the situation. He couldn't imagine one, but obviously his suffering solved nothing, it wasn't helpful to anyone. He felt a shift inside his chest.
Then there was the other turn-around: "My parents should have to suffer." This was the hard one. Everything in his conditioned mind fought against that belief. But for now, for this moment, wasn't it true? They were suffering and that meant they 'should' be suffering, until they didn't. The extremely simple logic of this insight settled in to Bob's mind and if was a relief.
"My parents should have to suffer" of course means nothing about a future. To project that they 'should' suffer in the future would be mad, and we're working on sanity here. But to say that they shouldn't suffer when they obviously were was just as crazy. It was as though Bob could see something in his mind straighten out, an old and confused habit of thoughts coming into a new state of clarity.
There were other stressful thoughts, and Bob worked on gaining clarity in his mind for about two hours that night. One by one he saw through all his stressful beliefs, and as they melted away in the light of truth, he felt a great sense of relief. His emotions came to peace and he slept like a baby that night.
The next morning he couldn't wait to see mom and dad. He walked into their room refreshed, with a clear mind and with his heart wide open. And that's when the miracle happened. Inspired by Bob's open heart, his two old parents instantly rose out of their gloomy mood, and they all met in a great space of love. This is how they had been together at the best of times and suddenly no one could any longer find a reason why it shouldn't be like this again.
His parents stayed in this loving mood for the whole week of Bob's visit, and it even after Bob left, they never again fell into depression. They opened to their new surroundings, made new friends, and lived out their final days becoming more and more peaceful until a merciful reality took them into the state beyond.
Today Bob often thinks about how different that day could have been and the time that followed. We believe that when someone we love is in pain we also have to hurt and we call that compassion. But what hurts is not love. It is blind attachment; it creates more pain and it doesn't solve any problems.
The sacred belief, "My parents shouldn't have to suffer," and the misunderstanding of love that it breeds, is like an archaic religion. It is delusional. There is an unalterable reality about sickness, old age and death, as the Buddha taught. Can we support those whose turn it is, instead of joining them with self-created pain?
No matter how long we have held onto a set of unquestioned beliefs, if they cause us pain, isn't it smart to question them? If our thoughts are at odds with reality, it may be time to change our religion.
Let me invite you to find out more about the revolutionary process of inquiry, also known as The Work of Byron Katie. If you are facing the suffering of a loved one, I cannot recommend this practice strongly enough! Just like in Bob's case it may make a profound difference in your life and theirs.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul Star Tribune recently discussed the tragic death of a 91 year old nursing home resident. In April of this year, Jeanette Rittenhouse, a resident at the Samaritan Bethany Home on Eighth, asked for an aide to help her get to the bathroom. Common procedure requires that those residents who need assistance get the help of an aide as well as the use of a walker and a gait belt. All of these are required to ensure the maximum safety while the resident is moved.
While being taken to the bathroom in that manner, Jeanette's roommate rolled in front of the bathroom door in a wheelchair. Instead of moving her back to the bed or calling for assistance, the aide left Jeanette standing alone and went to move her roommate. Jeannette was not at all able to stay up on her own-that is why she asked for assistance in the first place. As soon as she was left there, she fell backwards in a freefall leading to severe injuries. She was bed-ridden for several weeks after before eventually passing away.
The nurse's aide explains that she "panicked" in the situation, causing her to make the deadly mistake. She was suspended, and the rest of staff members are being trained again on the way to handle the process of moving residents.
Nursing home falls caused by failure to properly supervise residents is a common example of negligence at these facilities. Thousands of deaths occur at Illinois nursing homes each year because of falls. Our Chicago nursing home lawyers at Levin & Perconti have represented many families who lost loved ones because they were left unattended at critical moments. Because it happens so frequently all nursing home staff members should be well-aware of the dangers posed by leaving vulnerable residents alone. There is no excuse for making these mistakes-not when lives hang in the balance.

The case for Law Centres
Papers and Publications
PRESS RELEASE: LCN disappointed with court refusal of G4S legal challenge
The High Court has today refused permission for a Judicial Review of a controversial decision to award the national equalities and human rights helpline contract to outsourcing corporation G4S. This means that the service will be transferred over to G4S' hands tomorrow, 1 October.
The claim was brought by charity Law Centres Network (LCN), with public backing from a crowdfunding campaign. LCN has argued that government appeared to have fallen short of the standard set by the Public Sector Equality Duty, which includes considering how public procurement decisions impact equalities considerations – especially when the service in question is itself dedicated to equalities.
Mrs Justice Simler recognised "serious public concerns" about G4S' record raised by "respected organisations" as LCN, Liberty and others. However, she was not satisfied that further inquiries into the equalities impacts of choosing G4S would have led government to choose differently.
All parties have agreed with LCN that the claim is in the public interest. This is also reflected in a letter on the matter from the Joint Committee on Human Rights chair, wanting clarifications on how government intends to make EASS "an accessible, confidence-building helpline service". A 38 Degrees petition protesting the G4S contract has over 78,000 signatories to date. A crowdfunding page in support of this case has attracted nearly 200 backers.
LCN's concerns about G4S as a public service provider have been well-publicised and are captured in a dossier, prepared by charity Liberty, documenting G4S' human rights violations in previous public contracts. Given bad publicity around the 2012 Olympics security scandal and the death of Jimmy Mubenga while in G4S custody, LCN argued that it was reasonable to expect government to pay special consideration to appointing such a controversial contractor.
Nimrod Ben-Cnaan, Head of Policy at LCN, said:
"A core element of Law Centres' work is calling public bodies to account on behalf of disadvantaged people. We have taken this legal action out of understandable concern. Discrimination and human rights are complex areas of law where people are likely to need professional help to resolve their problems. They should be provided with an effective service that inspires their trust. Today's decision is truly disappointing as it means a missed opportunity to make an important support service work."
Daniel Carey, solicitor at law firm DPG, acting for LCN, said:
"It is disappointing that the Court has allowed the decision, to appoint G4S to provide the equalities and human rights helpline, to stand – even when the Judge accepted that it had been made in private and without any analysis of the equalities impact relating to the company's track record. We will consider with the Law Centres Network the steps now to be taken in light of this decision."

Fear Of Improving
#career #growth #learning #effectiveness
Marcell Cruz Aug 12, 2020 ・Updated on Aug 27, 2020 ・6 min read
"Because pain is the universal constant of life, the opportunities to grow from pain are constant in life, All that is required is that we don't numb it, that we don't look away, All that is required is that we engage it and find the value and meaning in it." - Mark Manson
You think about doing something, and then a voice appears in your mind telling you why you shouldn't do it, how this is not important, how you have better things to do right now and so on. There is some truth in weighting what you should do. But you should always be aware of a natural mechanism that kicks in every time you think about doing something uncomfortable.
We all have this feeling, there is even an extreme case called algophobia or "fear of pain", but why do we feel it?
Why do we feel fear?
There're two reasons why we feel fear. One is pretty obvious and most people know about it. We feel fear to avoid harm. This is an evolutionary mechanism to preserve our well being.
But there's also another type of fear, the fear of discomfort, the fear of feeling pain. Every time you're in a difficult situation, you spend more energy than normal. You have to think harder. You have to deal with the unknown and be prepared. You can't simply turn on your autopilot and deal with everything like you normally do. This extra energy being used makes you uncomfortable because your body wants to conserve energy to keep you alive. Through most of our history, this was also a survival mechanism. We didn't know how much food we were able to get in the future. So the extra energy being spent could mean our death.
But in modern society this fear is unfounded. You have plenty of food to go around regardless, but you still feel this fear.
The two types of discomfort
One brings no benefit to you and happens unwillingly. Think of diseases, an accident, etc..
The other type you do willingly with a clear objective. It's a situation that you put yourself in because you know it will bring you some benefit. You feel discomfort in this case because your body is changing. You're spending more energy than normal. A lot of people don't think about this but when you're solving a problem that you never solved or doing exercises, you're changing your body, you're breaking old connections and creating new ones, you're burning fat, breaking old muscle cells and building new stronger ones, so a good signal that you're improving is if you're feeling uncomfortable, after some time doing the same exercises, solving the same problems, you stop feeling discomfort, because your body and your brain already adapted to do that, so you just turn on your autopilot and stop spending extra energy which caused the discomfort in the first place, but do you see the problem? comfort is cheap but it'll cost you. It will cost your improvement, new opportunities, and experiences.
Embrace your discomfort, actively search for discomfort
Safe and comfortable things, are the things that got you where you're right now, You can't improve by keep doing them otherwise you would already have. You need to take the next step. The things that are comfortable to you now should serve as a stepping stone to the uncomfortable things that will make you better in the future.
Discomfort is your body changing to deal with the situation and permanently improving itself, this is where all that motivational phrases comes from "If it's worth doing it will be hard" "Life Begins at the End of Your Comfort Zone" There's an infinite source of joy to be gained by putting yourself in a difficult situation and getting out of it, and you will always get to the other side better prepared.
The thing that you most fear is the thing that you're least capable of dealing with, to me, this was one of them, writing, let my thoughts be heard, put into words what I was thinking, a lot of that mechanism that I've mentioned before kicked in when I thought about writing this, "I just don't know enough about this" "I don't wanna look like I'm trying to coach people" "I'm not a native English speaker" all these impediments on the way of the thing I knew I should do, and I knew it would make me uncomfortable.
Don't waste your time in mindless tasks
There's a big difference between doing something and doing something that matters, the things that matters are hard, that's why you and others didn't do it before, don't waste your time being in the autopilot all day, put yourself on the line.
Identified what you fear and do exactly that
Maybe you don't wanna learn about compilers because you think it's too hard, maybe you don't wanna start working on the project that you always wanted to work because if you think you don't have the time, whatever your fear is, identified it and do exactly that
I can't guarantee you success but I can guarantee you improvement, no matter what happens, you'll be better off than when you start it.
Good goals do not have permanent failure conditions, but permanent success conditions.
Don't do it for what you gonna receive, do it for who you gonna become, external rewards are ephemeral, your improvement is permanent.
The thing about fear
The thing about this type of fear is that it's always unfounded and disproportional, it's not the same fear as running from an animal in the wild, but we feel as if it was the same thing, But we quickly discover that it isn't as soon as we start doing it. The "start doing it" is the key point, and you can see this in motivational phrases about fear.
"Do the thing that you fear and the death of fear is certain." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
"What's on the other side of fear? Nothing - Jamie Foxx"
Fear grows larger and larger the more time you give, so just do it, don't talk your way out of improving yourself, out of having new experiences. Challenge yourself every day, put yourself in that uncomfortable situation that will make you grow. You can't be a master if you're not willing to be a fool.
What actually "Learning to love" means?
Just because you feel discomfort doing something now, doesn't mean you won't enjoy it in the future. Most people spend all their lives doing a very small amount of activities because every time they've tried to do something else they felt uncomfortable and they confuse this discomfort with not liking it.
Everything worth doing it in life has the potential to make you uncomfortable, but there's a lot of enjoyment to be gain afterward. Maybe you say you don't like to dance but that's because you suck at it, you feel uncomfortable doing it because you don't know how to do it.
You have to move out of the initial discomfort to have a fair look at most things in life. There's a lot we love and we just don't know.
Expand your life by expanding your comfort zone.
If you avoid discomfort at all the times you'll quickly be boxed in, doing just a few things that you're already comfortable doing. By deliberately choosing to do high-value activities that make you uncomfortable, you're expanding the things that you can do, and eventually, it'll become more comfortable. You'll then expand your possibilities and opportunities. Remember that one-day writing a very simple code was uncomfortable for you, but now you do it all the time without even thinking too much about it. Because coding now is part of your comfort zone, and because of it a lot of opportunities opened up to you. Now imagine all the things that you're missing out because you're not willing to move out of your comfort zone.
Expanding your comfort zone is life-changing. Imagine what you would be doing today if you didn't know how to code. Don't let your mind rationalize the things that you fear.
Have a great day 😄

I dont know about you, but I fear interviews. Being forced to answer a question on a topic that either:
a). I haven't heard since college (Ex. What are the 4 tenants of object oriented programming)
b). I don't knowingly use day in and day out (Ex. Explain the difference between of delegates: Action, Func, Predicate). With Linq, I use delegates everyday i just didn't realize it.
So what do I do, I interview now to face this fear. Do I have a job that I like? yep. Well, what do you do if you receive an offer? Unless its a huge improvement, I politely turn it down.
Elina Kukalo • Aug 13 '20
Totally agree with everything said here 👏
Quite often too much comfort means staleness. It's possible to grow and improve only by diving into experiences that we fear most because these experiences are also usually the most rewarding ones.
Thom • Aug 12 '20
This is very true, to realize your potential you need to get good at being bad and feeling discomfort, else, why get off the bed in the morning? Also helps with ego, by keeping it small.

Q: Looking for Fira Sans by file name using the metropolis beamer theme (e.g. for Overleaf) I'm using the metropolis beamer theme. In beamerfontthememetropolis.sty, the fonts are loaded by font name, e.g.:
\setsansfont[ItalicFont={Fira Sans Light Italic},%
                 BoldFont={Fira Sans},%
                 BoldItalicFont={Fira Sans Italic}]%
                {Fira Sans Light}

however, I need to look up the fonts by file name since I don't have them installed globally. The situation arises for example when using Overleaf. The Overleaf documentation just suggests to change the \setXXXfont commands so to tell fontspec to look up the font by file name instead of by font name, and this makes sense.
However, I'm not setting the fonts myself, but rather I'm loading the metropolis theme, which loads the fonts and sets lots of beamer options. I could of course take the font settings from the metropolis code, paste it in my own theme and change the code, but that looks dirty.
So is there a way to tell metropolis to load specific file names for the Fira Sans font, without copy/pasting code from the theme itself?
Another way could be to issue the \setsansfont command after the loading the theme. But in this case, is there a way to temporarily suppress the "font not found" errors?

A: The answer is simple: just do nothing.
As long as the document is compiled with xelatex or lualatex it will use fira fonts per default which also works on overleaf.
The following image shows how to select the engine on overleaf:

Math Seminar with Charles Katerba (MSU) "On the AJ-conjecture, Part 1"
Monday, September 10, 2018 at 4:00pm
Wilson Hall, 1-144 - view map
Over the past 35 years, knot theory has witnessed an explosion of powerful new invariants such as the colored Jones polynomial and the HOMFLY-PT polynomial. The origin of many of these invariants can be unified using quantum groups. One of the fundamental problems in modern knot theory is to relate these quantum knot invariants to the topology of a knot complement and the AJ-conjecture gives one possible connection. In this two part series of lectures, we will endeavor to understand the statement of the AJ-conjecture, its current states of affairs, and attempt to pinpoint the main difficulties in its resolution.
In part 1, we will discuss the 'A' in the AJ-conjecture, which refers to the A-polynomial of a knot. The A-polynomial is defined using representations from the fundamental group of a knot complement to SL(2, C) and has seen broad applications in 3-manifold topology. To understand its connection to topology, we will describe representation/character varieties and schemes and Culler-Shalen theory, which uses the algebraic geometry of a character varieties to build special surfaces in 3-manifolds.
These lectures will be expository in nature and should be well suited to introduce graduate students to the topics described above.

At 14.5 kg (16.4 kg with battery), the Ultra-Lite is the lightest motorised wheelchair in the world!
The lightweight aluminium frame is sturdy and rust resistant. It is easy to fold and can be carried into a car by most ladies.
Despite the light weight, the Ultra-Lite "D" is powerful enough to brake on slopes and overcome road humps. This is made possible by new, patented and revolutionary lightweight brushless motors!
The dual-control version also allows a caregiver to control the wheelchair from behind. This is particularly useful for caregivers who themselves are also old, and do not have the strength to push the patient over long distances or up a slope.
Each wheelchair comes with 2 easy-to-detach lithium batteries. You no longer need tools to remove the battery.
Each battery is rated 125WH. Under existing regulations most airlines allow 2 of such batteries on board as carry-on luggage, per passenger, without prior approval.This makes travelling with the wheelchair very much easier. And if you travel with a companion, you can bring 4 batteries.
Only 1 battery is needed to operate the wheelchair. If it runs out, simply change to the other battery. No worries about accidentally running out of battery, and you can get as many spare batteries as you need.
Battery is charged separately from the wheelchair. You can leave the wheelchair in the car, and charge the battery in your house.
Users who need a motorised wheelchair that is both affordable and light enough for a care giver to load into a car/taxi. Also good for households with several steps outside the door.
Lightweight, only 14.5 kg without battery, with battery only 16.4 kg.
24V, 10AH lithium battery that travels up to 20 km.
Battery rating of 240WH is acceptable by most major airlines for carriage of mobility aids.
