It's the fifth week of 100 Days of Modern Quilting and we will take a glimpse into a few of the things that inspire modern quilts.
As with many other forms of art or craft, there is almost an unlimited number of sources of inspiration for a quilt. It is interesting to hear about quilt inspiration because it often tells the story of the quilt. A quilt can be inspired by another quilt. It can be inspired by a piece of fine art. It can be inspired by a textile design. It can be inspired by color. Inspired by words. Inspired by an event.
This quilt was inspired by a pattern on a rug coupled with a traditional log cabin design.
This quilt was inspired by a baby name, Cici. Can you see the two C's?
We hope you enjoy looking at all the quilts and share with us what you are inspired by.
The first featured quilt in the Week of Inspiration is a fun example of how a quilt can be inspired by an event as well as a phrase. Heidi Burkhardt designed this 56 x 88" beauty as a wedding gift for friends.
In her own words: "We were invited to the wedding of a longtime business friend of my husband. As we pondered about the present we could give, I joked and said, I could make them a wedding quilt. As they are not a young couple who needs to build a household and we don't know them very good privately, this seemed to be a good idea. I've met the bride only once, but thought that something simple and elegant should be good . My husband asked them for hints what they like and don't like and between other things they mentioned the colour yellow.
Soon I found the basic fabric (it's the fabric for the backing not seen in this photo ). It was not until we received the official invitation, a beautiful card with the lyrics of the Beatles song ' when I'm 64', when I had the idea of quoting another Beatles song.
Heidi lives in Germany and blogs at http://libellenquilts.blogspot.com/.
Inspiration can come from many places in modern quilting so it's no surprise that art would inspire quilt designs. Today we will look at a quilt by quilter Heather Jones that was inspired by the work of Joseph Albers.
Heather says: "This quilt was inspired by the work of Josef Albers and his wife Anni, and was made as an entry into for the second challenge of Project Modern. It was my first attempt at making a monochromatic quilt, and as it had been a long, dreary winter, I went with various shades of pink. I was an Art History major in college and grad school, so I was familiar with the work of Albers, who may be best known for his series of works "Homage to the Square." In these works, Albers experimented with the relationships between different colors arranged in a series of squares. I thought that design would work well in a quilt, although I shifted the layout of the squares in my design. The Anni quilt was chosen as a winner of Project Modern: Challenge 2 by judge Malka Dubrawsky. This quilt is modern in my eyes due to its bold use of color, strong graphic elements, and over-sized blocks, which measure about 24″ square.
So many quilts. So much inspiration. Sometimes the inspiration for one quilt is another quilt! In this case one quilt inspired many, many quilts. Leila from Where the Orchids Grow created one of those quilts called Plus & X Blocks Quilt.
Leila has been sewing since she was a little girl but, she just started quilting 7 years ago, when she was pregnant with her son. After creating a few quilts she stopped because at the time the designs and fabrics that were available weren't very appealing to her. But, thankfully, she started quilting again 2 years ago when she discovered modern quilting online. It opened up a new world of designs and fabrics and techniques that spoke to her and she hasn't stopped quilting since.
You can find more of Leila's work on her blog at wheretheorchidsgrow.blogspot.com or on Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/where-the-orchids-grow/.
Today's featured quilt was inspired by none other than the quilters of Gee's Bend. Great inspiration will inspire you to take an idea, reinterpret it and make it your own. This quilt was a collaborative project for an online quilting bee, so it was 10 quilters interpretation which adds a certain complexity and interest to this quilt.
Lisa Filion who blogs at http://www.upstatelisa.com asked her nine Bee-mates to create a row in this quilt. She then took these 10 rows and combined them to form this quilt which she then hand quilted in Size 8 Perle Cotton.
Lisa has been sewing since she was 13 when her paternal grandmother who was a master seamstress, knitter, smocker etc. gave her money for her first sewing machine. She took a quilting class at a local community college just before her first child was born and she was hooked. She can't believe she's been quilting now for almost 20 years!
You can find Lisa on her blog at www.upstatelisa.com and this quilt was documented on her old blog at upstatelisa.blogspot.com/2011/05/new-equation.html. You can also find her on Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/upstatelisa/. Sadly there are no modern quilt guilds in upstate New York where she lives but she does luckily have 4 quilt shops within a 20 mile radius of her home!
The inspiration for the "Amish Impressions Zig Zag" quilt by Sujata Shah came on a stormy day in the summer of 2010. The original idea for the technique used in this quilt was developed back in 2004 after the Gee's Bend quilts became popular and Sujata was inspired to explore Improv quilting. Sujata's quest for making organic and fluid quilts led her to develop this unique Improv technique. In 2009 she made the first version of this quilt made with prints.
In the summer of 2010, with both her boys home from college, Sujata and her family experienced a severe and memorable thunderstorm. On that afternoon as the day turned into night, the storms got so bad that the power went out. The lightening was intense and the rain was pouring as if the sky had fallen apart. The storm that night inspired the colors and pattern of the "Amish Impressions Zig Zag" quilt.
If Sujata had to put a title to herself as a quilter, it would definitely be an Improv Quilter. Most of her inspiration and influence comes from antique quilts and cultures from around the world. She finds a lot of similarities in Amish and Indian style of quilting. They both are bold, colorful and simple. She is originally from India and it was natural for her to combine the two cultures that used very few tools to create this art. Her quilts are also heavily influenced by African art and textiles.
You can find Sujata on her blog at therootconnection.blogspot.com/ and on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/rangolidesigns/.
Sometimes, inspiration can come from more than one source. Today's featured quilt "New York Skyline" by Jessica Blomquist has two definite inspirations. As the name implies it was inspired by the skyline of New York City as well as Denyse Schmidt's quilts.
"I just started quilting (and sewing for that matter) in 2010. My mother and grandmother have quilted for decades, but I never was interested in learning how to quilt. My grandmother bought me a sewing machine as a wedding present and I decided that I wanted to learn how to use it. I thought a quilt could be an easy first project.
Jessica is a proud member of the Los Angeles Modern Quilt Guild.
Jen Carlton Bailey created this quilt as a wedding gift for friends and was inspired by the couples style and things that they love.
Jen is a proud member of the Portland Modern Quilt Guild and you can follow her at her blog BettyCrockerAss. One of her recent blog post titled Nothing is Original talks about Inspiration vs. Copying in quilting and is a fun way to end this week of Inspiration. Hop on over to her blog to check it out!


A poverty rate is one of the key economic indicators. It shows the proportion of the population whose income is less than the poverty line in the area. The lower the number is, the more prosperous the life of society is. The current poverty rate in Randolph is 22.6%. In the neighboring cities, this figure is as follows: in Red Oak, 23.2% of the population live below the poverty line, in Westboro — 21.4%. The poverty rate in Iowa is 8.06%. Based on such indicators as the poverty rate, we assume that life in Randolph is worse than the average for the state.
The median gross rent in Randolph is $625 a month (as of 2016). In 2010, this figure was higher — $1,056/mo (+40.8%). Please note, gross rent may include not only the rent payments, but also utility bills and some other building costs. The median gross rent in the state of Iowa is higher at $697 per month (again, data for 2016). The following median gross rent was registered in the neighboring cities: renters in Thurman pay $625/mo, in Avoca — $622/mo.
The rent burden in Randolph is 50.0% (2016). Rent burden shows what proportion of the household income is spent on rental housing. This data is useful in estimating the housing affordability in the city. Rent burden in Randolph is higher than in the state of Iowa, where the rent burden is 27.5%. In neighboring cities, the situation is as follows: rent burden is 50.0% in Stella, and in Emerson — 47.5%.
25.3% of housing units in Randolph are occupied by renters (2016). A housing unit means a house, an apartment, a mobile home, a room or any other structure that is used for habitation. In 2010, the share of renter-occupied housing units was lower — 22.2%. It seems that now more people live in rented houses in Randolph than before. Neighboring cities have the following shares of renter-occupied housing units: Lewis (25.4%), Avoca (24.8%).
There are 14 renter occupied households in Randolph (2016). This is just a rough estimation based on Census and ESRI demographic data. Since 2013, the number of such type of households has decreased by -2% (14 households in 2016 vs. 14 in 2013). Nearby cities have the following renter-occupied housing unit numbers: there are 15 households in Shubert, 14 units in Henderson.
There was 0 eviction reported in Randolph in 2016. Here are how many evictions were made in nearby cities in 2016 : 0 from housing were made in Talmage, 0 in Manley. Reasons for evictions can be different-code violations, violations of the terms of the lease, etc. But often the main reason is the failure to pay the rent on time. That is why a large number of evictions (especially when there is a tendency to increase this number) may indicate a deterioration of the economy.
The total number of eviction cases that were registered in the Randolph in 2016 is 0.00. Please note that some addresses may have multiple eviction cases during the year. Compared to the neighboring cities, Randolph has less eviction cases than Dunbar (0.15 filing in 2016), less eviction cases than Manley (0.14 filing).

Q: Присвоение класса элемента при клике Помогите пожалуйста.
const clicksertif = document.querySelector('.sertif-img');
if (clicksertif) {
    clicksertif.addEventListener("click", function(e) {

        clicksertif.classList.toggle('sertif-zoom');
    });
}

Суть в том, что есть куча элементов (слайды) с классом sertif-img. Мне нужно чтобы при клике на один их таких элементов присваивался класс именно для того элемента по которому кликнули. Это можно реализовать? Вообще у меня слайдер slick. И мне необходимо, чтобы при клике на изображение оно увеличивалось (типо на весь экран), а при повторном клике уменьшалось обратно. Может я вообще не правильно пытаюсь это реализовать? Может это делается иначе?

A: Если хотите, чтобы на каждом элементе был прослушиватель, то для начала все их нужно получить, а уже потом вешать на каждый элемент прослушиватель. Например так:
// Получаем все элементы с классом .sertif-img
const clicksertif = document.querySelectorAll(".sertif-img");

if (clicksertif.length) {
  // Для каждого элемента навешиваем свой прослушиватель
  clicksertif.forEach((element) => {
    element.addEventListener("click", function (e) {
      this.classList.toggle("sertif-zoom");
    });
  });
}

Don't Bet On It!: Week Five College Football Forecasts for the National Games of Interest
By T Kyle King Sep 29, 2010, 7:48am EDT
Share All sharing options for: Don't Bet On It!: Week Five College Football Forecasts for the National Games of Interest
Once I've gone around the SEC and predicted incorrectly the outcomes of the various games taking place in the Southeastern Conference, I next turn my attention to the outings of significance occurring in the rest of the country, with respect to which my prognosticating skills are even worse. Please note that my 5-1 ledger in last week's national picks boosted my season-long record to 16-9, so you should trust me when I tell you: Don't Bet On It!
The following games all will be played on Saturday, October 2, unless otherwise indicated:
Nevada Wolf Pack at UNLV Rebels: The team from the quickie divorce capital of the world travels to take on the team from the quickie marriage capital of the world. Yes, this pick is just another excuse to repeat my usual diatribe in favor of playing in-state rivalry games earlier in the season, but where else did you expect me to come up with a sixth game? Air Force-Navy? Clemson-Miami? N.C. State-Virginia Tech? Please! Anyway, Nevada will pistol-whip the Pack's Sin City brethren.
Texas A&M Aggies at Oklahoma St. Cowboys (Thursday, Sept. 30): Think of this as the undercard for Saturday's Red River Shootout, although, as shootouts go, this one probably has the better claim to that title: Oklahoma State and Texas A&M are ranked first and second, respectively, in scoring offense and in total offense among Big 12 teams. However, the Aggies trail only the Longhorns in total defense in the league, while the Cowboys have outperformed only the Sooners in that same category, and Oklahoma State sports the conference's most porous scoring defense. I expect the improved Aggies to slow down the Pokes just enough to head home with a win.
Penn St. Nittany Lions at Iowa Hawkeyes: As I am reminded by certain of our Midwestern brethren whenever I display the temerity to suggest that perhaps the Ohio St. Buckeyes are not overly taxing themselves by playing Ohio (Ohio), my knowledge of Big Ten football is limited. (Ere anyone comes along to criticize, yes, I am aware that Georgia and Oregon just agreed to cancel their upcoming series, but I've read Ken Kesey's Sometimes a Great Notion, and it sounds like the weather up there can get particularly nasty, so cut us some slack already!) Anyway, in order to get up to speed date on this one, I visited Off Tackle Empire, which recently changed its name yet still displays a picture of the general who burned my hometown to the ground, which I find hilarious every single time I visit (not!). From there, I was referred to the Big Ten Digest (which I initially misread as "Big Ten Disgust," which we seem to get our share of around here), where I learned from Hilary Lee that Iowa is expected to beat Penn State. Accordingly, I'm siding with Hilary, the infamous South Korean girl band, and the Eagles, who warned us that there ain't no way to hide the Lions from the 'Eyes.
Wisconsin Badgers at Michigan St. Spartans: Will the real parvenu please stand? One of these teams isn't as good as its record---all right, maybe both of these teams, but one more so than the other, at any rate---and someone is about to get exposed. With the Spartans' head coach sidelined by a heart attack, I'm inclined to think the Badgers have the upper hand . . . but, wait! Mark Dantonio will be in the booth on Saturday? Oh, yeah, Michigan State is winning at home.
Oklahoma Sooners v. Texas Longhorns: Neither of these teams turned in a performance last weekend that anyone would characterize as "impressive," but this showdown still should settle the championship of the Big 12 South, and, with it, likely the right to contend for a larger prize than the conference crown. Both teams know this, and Mack Brown also is aware that, after the 'Horns were humbled by UCLA in 1997, they went on to beat the Sooners by a field goal in Dallas. Last Saturday's setback was nowhere near as humiliating as "Rout 66," so I trust Texas to recover and continue its dominance of Oklahoma.
Stanford Cardinal at Oregon Ducks: Jim Harbaugh's club ranks fourth in the nation in scoring offense, yet the Cardinal feature the less prolific offense in this game, trailing the top-rated Ducks. If this one ends with a final score of 38-35, it will qualify as a defensive struggle; there ought to be enough points scored in this one to make a WAC offensive coordinator say, "Dang!" While you have to respect how well Stanford is playing, I can't go against high-flying Oregon in Eugene. (By that, I mean I can't pick against the Ducks in Eugene, not that we can't play against them there, although, as noted above, we're not, which I regret.)
Take those predictions for what they're worth, and rest assured that they're not worth very much. No matter how much sense the foregoing prognostications may make to you (and, honestly, they shouldn't make much sense to you, because I'm pretty sure I had a stressed-out, sleep-deprived, I-can't-believe-we're-0-and-3-in-SEC-play Gary Busey moment somewhere back there in all that Big Ten meandering), you should not take them to heart, and you should heed my weekly advice: Don't Bet On It!
Coming Soon: National Game of Disinterest.

Home Entertainment "Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is coming to Disney+ very...
"Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness" is coming to Disney+ very soon
A new threat threatens the multiverse and this eventful event brings together Stephen Strange, America Chavez and Wanda Maximoff. (Marvel Studios)
Disney+ will add the movie Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness) to its catalog after its great reception in cinemas. The sequel brings back benedict cumberbatch in his role as the sorcerer Stephen Strange in an adventure in which he will have to deal with the enormous power of the Scarlet Witch, played by elizabeth olsen. The plot takes place after Spider-Man: No Way Home Y WandaVisionthe latter is the series that explains the origin of the enormous power that Wanda Maximoff now controls.
As confirmed by the platform, the tape Marvel can be viewed digitally from the June 22nd, a month before the release of the third Spider-Man installment on HBO Max. In this way, the film production will also hit the screens during the weekly premiere of the season of Ms Marvelthe series about the Pakistani heroine that will debut on the 8th of this month.
The film directed by Sam Raimi premiered on May 5 in theaters in Latin America. (Marvel Studios)
Sam Raimi unites horror and superheroes in Doctor Strange
The second part of the story Doctor Strange would never have been possible without the vision of the American filmmaker sam raimithe mind behind the original trilogy of spider-man with Tobey Maguire and a big fan of horror as he already showed in the franchise The Evil Dead. It's been some time since Peter Parker (Tom Holland) wreaked havoc on his universe when he summoned villains from past films, but this time the threat has a face that was once on the side of good.
In WandaVision, we saw Wanda deal with the pain of losing Vision by creating a scripted reality of her own. She brings back her childhood memories of her spending her days watching sitcoms with her family in Sokovia, and stars in her own TV show alongside her boyfriend. Both form a classic American family and even become parents to Billy and Tommy. However, none of this is true and she makes new enemies (SWORD, the organization that Monica Rambeau integrates, and the FBI).
Benedict Cumberbatch stars in the sequel centered on the powerful sorcerer. (Marvel Studios)
The residents of Westview are all but kidnapped by her power, but in her final battle against the witch Agatha Harkness, the Avenger frees them and sets off for another destination all alone. Even though she seemed to have come to her senses, the protagonist began plotting a way to get her children back with the use of magic from the powerful Darkhold book.
Now under the name of the Scarlet Witchdecides to follow in the footsteps of America Chavez (Xochitl Gomez) in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. The teenager's powers would allow her to cross into another universe, but she would have to take her life to do so since she cannot control them. It is clear that Doctor Strange opposes your actions and will be a strong obstacle. In the style of the horror genre, Wanda torments Stephen, Wong and America until she fulfills her mission, but the sorcerer will go to a parallel reality where he will find more answers than he expected.
Elizabeth Olsen reprises her role as Scarlet Witch after "WandaVision." (Marvel Studios)
Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness premiered on May 5 in theaters in Latin Americaand will soon be released on Disney+.

Last week's big-priced winner was hard to find but, as the players head to York's Barbican Centre for the 2016 UK Championship (November 22nd to December 4th), don't expect a repeat – as the cream tends to rise to the top in what is the snooker's second-largest ranking tournament.
Look back at the history of the event and you'll see it was dominated by Steve Davies in the early to mid-80's with a record 6 titles in 8 years, whilst Stephen Hendry won 5 titles between 1989 and 1996. Sandwiched in there in 1993 was Ronnie O'Sullivan, who won his first of five titles at the tender age of just 17. The Rocket has since taken his tally of titles to 5 in 23 years but, unlike Davies and Hendry, he has yet to taste defeat in the final here. Therefore, if you want to back him, a win-bet rather than an each-way bet may be the way forward.
Lots of other class players have also won the title in between Ronnie's victories, and those still playing include 3-time winner John Higgins, two-time winner Ding Junhui, and 2013 and 2015 Champion Neil Robertson. Meanwhile, Mark Selby, Judd Trump, Shaun Murphy and Stephen Maguire will all be hoping to add to their single title.
The UK Championship is the first-leg of snooker's Triple Crown, and involves 128 players who will be eager to get their hands on the prestigious trophy and the first-prize of £170,000. The Best-of-11 First-round matches are less of a lottery than the best-of-7 matches many tournaments use, which is another reason why the better players are less likely to exit early. 11-frames are then used to decide all matches up to the final – which is then the best of 19 frames.
Ronnie O'Sullivan 9/2, Mark Selby 7/1, Judd Trump 17/2, Neil Robertson 11/1, Ding Junhui 11/1, John Higgins 14/1, Shaun Murphy 18/1, Stuart Bingham 28/1, 33/1 Bar.
We all know that Ronnie O'Sullivan could turn-on the magic at a moment's notice and, with his 5 wins in 23 years, you could argue that 9/2 on offer is more than fair. However, the balance of power in world snooker has swung in Mark Selby's favour of late and the 2012 Champion will surely add another UK Championship Title to his CV soon after winning the World Championships twice in the last 3 years.
2011 Champion Judd Trump also has the required talent, whilst Neil Robertson couldn't defend the title in 2014 and may again struggle to defend this year, especially as no player has defended the title here since Stephen Hendry in 1996.
Meanwhile, Ding Junhui has looked jaded recently, whilst Shaun Murphy has yet to hit top-form, and Stuart Bingham tends to find at least one too good. That leaves us with the in-form John Higgins, who looked back to his best in winning two recent big-pot invitationals, and going out in the last-16 in Northern Ireland will have given him an extra few days to freshen-up. Selby should also be fresh after missing last week's tournament – and I'll take Selby and Higgins against the field.

Today I received a very exciting parcel of peruvian tachinids from John Smit and Menno Reemer. The samples were taken during the last half of 2009 in the Sachavacayoc Centre, Tambopata river region. This is a very species-rich part of the world with a very interesting fauna to me. I will probably take another few weeks to mount the specimens before accessioning them and trying to identify some.

NXT TakeOver Shows Better Than PPVs, Rock/WWE, Next Top Diva, Forcing Talent
The following is today's edition of Ask WNW. Ask WNW is the most popular feature on the website where Richard Gray answers four questions daily, Monday through Friday. To submit your question for the next installment of Ask WNW, click here.
In your opinion, should it be acceptable the NXT "developmental" roster outshines the main WWE roster with the TakeOver shows? From a main roster standpoint, I can't imagine them being happy about being made to look secondary.
This is an interesting point and one that I knew I wanted to address after watching WWE NXT TakeOver: R Evolution (in fact the main event is on again here in the office as I type this). The NXT TakeOver shows are better than the main roster WWE pay-per-views, there's just no getting around it. Now, why are the shows better?
In my opinion, the shows are better for a number of reasons. They focus on athletic wrestling matches without an agenda of trying to draw viewers to Raw the next night or sell the next pay-per-view, the venue features an intimate atmosphere with a hot crowd and the performers on the card know this is their chance. The TakeOver shows bring WWE's developmental system to the forefront, exposing their work to the rest of the company and the fans. Talent working down there knows how big of an opportunity this is and their work reflects that.
On Thursday, we talked about complacency in WWE. How many workers looked complacent at NXT TakeOver?
It's literally the perfect storm that makes for great TV, even though the talent, in most cases, isn't as polished. However, I also think we could make a list of main roster talent that do not compare to the talented workers down in NXT but that's a discussion for another day.
It's difficult to compare NXT TakeOver shows to main roster WWE pay-per-views because the atmosphere is very different. I say all the time a hot crowd can make a wrestling match. On the flip side, a cold crowd can ruin a wrestling match. The crowd at Full Sail University is comprised of people familiar with the talent, usually features more "smarks" that are "in tune" with what's going on and it's a smaller venue that's more intimate, which makes it louder.
Vince McMahon knows they cannot sell main roster shows solely on in-ring work, much like they can't push talent solely on in-ring work. Remember, a good portion of the mainstream WWE fan base watches for the angles and storylines and couldn't care less about how a match "looks."
As for the reaction from the main roster, I'm sure that many recognize the points I'm bringing up here. If WWE ran a main roster show with the same format in the same venue, they too would blow the roof off. However, that's just not the way it works.
But to answer your initial question, I think it's great the NXT TakeOver shows are so good. Not just because I'm a fan myself and enjoy watching them but what would it say about "the future" of WWE if the shows weren't outstanding? Could you imagine if the NXT roster laid an egg? That would suck the momentum out of the whole process and it's imperative they continue to impress like they do each time out.
What was the point of The Rock coming back on Raw to insult Lana and Rusev, but not showing up at any another WWE event?
The Rock made a surprise appearance on the October 6, 2014 episode of Monday Night Raw because he was in New York City and they worked it out for him to do so. He also filmed an angle they used for the 15th Anniversary special of Smackdown. Rock was not used on that show for any other reason than to "pop the crowd" with a surprise appearance. At this point, he should be considered "doubtful" for Wrestlemania 31 next year, however, the relationship between Rock and WWE is good enough where they could work together again the future.
Should Sara Del Rey also be in charge of training the main roster Divas? After seeing the awesome Divas match between Charlotte and Sasha Banks at NXT TakeOver, do you think the solution to improve Dvas matches on the main roster is to have Sara train them as well, or is this another example of the different points of view between Vince and Triple H?
I can't help but think the reason Charlotte is flourishing into what will likely be the top Diva in WWE is in large part because of the in-ring training from Sara Del Ray. Del Ray is one of the best female in-ring workers in the history of the business and she's clearly played a very important part in taking Charlotte to the next level. However, I also want to mention that the one thing Charlotte has that can't be taught is her presence. The way she carries herself in front of the camera is something one can only be born with. Given who her father is, it's very clear where she got that from.
As for Divas matches on the main roster not comparing to Divas matches at NXT TakeOver, when is the last time the main roster Divas got a chance to go 14 minutes in front of a crowd familiar with their storyline? The match between Stephanie McMahon and Brie Bella at SummerSlam, which I felt was well worked, only got 11. It's the same reason a Diva can thrive in Florida and tank when she gets called up. Even Paige, who has been around the business her entire life, gave us all a good scare before settling in.
It's just very different because of the way WWE pushes their Divas. They're ambassadors. They're sex appeal. They're reality stars. They are not promoted like they are on a level playing field with the male workers. I'm not saying that's right either, in fact I think if given the chance the females could outshine the males in a lot of cases, but that's the way it is.
Until there is a philosophical change in the way WWE utilizes their Divas, their matches will continue to be largely unforgettable.
Do you feel WWE forces newer Superstars on their audience too hard?
It depends on the situation. Sometimes, I don't think WWE focuses on up and coming workers enough, whereas sometimes I feel they do force them. Rusev has gotten a tremendous amount of protection since coming to the main roster, where he looks completely unstoppable. We can't seem to beg WWE to offer the same protection to Dolph Ziggler. Cesaro gets slighted for lacking charisma but Ryback is getting another opportunity in the top of the card.
I'm on WWE's case about Roman Reigns right now because I don't feel he's being handled with "tact." What I mean by this is Roman Reigns has what it takes to be a top star in WWE. He has the look, the athleticism/in-ring ability and the mic work (which to be honest, isn't completely there yet) to get him over big time. The problem is, WWE seems intent on forcing him at every stage. I noticed his babyface support had started to dwindle as we approached the fall, then he went out with the incarcerated hernia.
They did a pre-tape with him that aired on Raw back in October that made him look terrible and now have fans questioning the legitimacy of the Slammy voting by announcing him Superstar of the Year. It feels like they don't have a solid plan in place for Reigns and have more or less decided "this is their guy" and they're going to remind fans every step of the way. This mentality, which I feels insults the intelligence of the audience, is usually rejected by fans. The most successful pushes are those that are created organically through the support of the audience.

What happened to the Impression Healthcare share price?
Earlier in the day, shares of Impression Healthcare Ltd [ASX:IHL] were up by around 30%, to 2.6 cents per share. The share price has dipped a little to trade at 2.2 cents at the time of writing. That said, this could be the start of a massive share price run.
Why did Impression Healthcare shares jump today?
The company announced the receipt of medicinal cannabis licenses from the Department of Health, Victoria. Impression Healthcare has the necessary approvals in place to import, export, store and distribute its cannabinoid products around Australia, as per the Special Access Scheme and the Authorised Prescriber Scheme. The company has signed specific non-binding agreements to sell Cannabidiol (CBD), Tetrahydrocannabinols (THC) and Dronabinol.

What now for Impression Healthcare?
It's unlikely that the share price will stay this cheap for much longer. The market looks like it's slowly waking up to the story. But, I don't think it understands that Impression Healthcare can start selling its products around Australia today, as per the Special Access Scheme and the Authorised Prescriber Scheme. Based on my understanding, as per the Special Access Scheme, the company can pretty much sell any product that's passed phase one tests from an authorised medical body.
Phase one tests define whether a product is safe to administer.
Many of Axim Biotechnologies products are going through phase one testing now. In other words, assuming approval in the near-term, Impression Healthcare could have an extensive cannabinoid biotech product range to sell throughout Australia under the Special Access Scheme and the Authorised Prescriber Scheme.
pain management and sleep apnoea.
Dronabinol was the original cannabinoid medicine permitted for patient use by the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration (FDA) in the United States. It goes under the trade name Marinol®, which is currently marketed by US$140 billion market cap AbbVie Inc [NYSE:ABBV]. AbbVie Inc no longer has exclusive patents for the product.
Impression Healthcare is entering a US$150 million market, with AbbVie Inc no longer holding an exclusive patent for its marinol (Dronabinol). The company can (if it wishes), given it's a general product approved by the FDA, sell its dronabinol across the US to anyone and undercut AbbVie Inc. But, with the world being its oyster, Impression Healthcare might target a specific audience (i.e. pain management and sleep apnoea).
The bottom line: The story is gaining traction and there's lots happening. But the market doesn't seem to understand the story yet. The company is building a cannabis-related distribution business similar to BOD Australia Ltd [ASX:BDA]. Bod has a market capitalisation of roughly $30 million today, compared to Impression's of less than $10 million. If we see more deals in the short-term, and the company starts selling products (likely soon), the market cap difference could close quickly.

Watts Sustainability Report 2021
Watts Releases 2021 Sustainability Report
Today, Watts is proud to release its 2021 Sustainability Report, which highlights the Company's environment, social and governance (ESG) practices and its commitment to best-in-class sustainability performance.
"We believe that a safer world is a more sustainable world – a belief that we proudly reflect in each of our technologies and solutions, and our ESG commitments," said Robert J. Pagano, Jr., CEO, President, and Chairperson of the Board. "In a year that presented its share of challenges, we demonstrated that reaching further and higher to protect and sustain the environment, our people, and communities around the world is ingrained in our business and our culture. I'm deeply grateful to all our global employees – it's because of their passion, ingenuity and steadfast dedication to our goals that people and communities feel the positive impact of our products and commitments."
Key accomplishments highlighted in the report include:
Reduced global water use intensity by 28% and global hazardous waste by 23%. The Company also purchased 100% certified renewable energy credits (RECs) to offset annual electric consumption at seven U.S. sites, reducing greenhouse gas emissions intensity by 30%.
Participated in The Water Council's Corporate Water Stewardship Accelerator Program to drive impactful improvements at priority sites. Based on water use and scarcity in each region where major manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and offices are located, the Company selected eight sites to pilot the program, given their watershed risk levels and annual water usage. Site leaders gathered data and engaged with stakeholders on shared challenges unique to the local watershed and developed and implemented a water stewardship plan to address them.
Continued to design products and solutions to benefit users and help their sustainability efforts based on the Company's "triple play" of Safety and Regulation, Water Conservation, and Energy Efficiency, which make up 75%, 38%, and 25% of Watts revenue stream respectively, with some products fitting into multiple categories.
Provided clean water access to disadvantaged communities through the Company's ongoing partnership with Planet Water Foundation, which to date has benefited more than 45,000 people in nine different countries. Last year, Watts funded and installed six water purification and hand washing systems in Cambodia, India, Mexico, the Philippines, and Vietnam, providing 10,000 people with clean and safe drinking water daily.
Joined the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in 2022, reaffirming our commitment to incorporate the UNGC's principles and standards on human rights, labor, the environment, and anticorruption into our strategy, culture, and operations.
Received recognition for sustainability performance from Newsweek magazine, who named Watts among America's Most Responsible Companies for the third consecutive year. The top 500 companies, spanning 14 industries, made the final list following a detailed analysis of ESG performance from more than 2,000 companies and an independent survey of 11,000 U.S. residents. Watts was ranked in the Top 100 and placed fifth within the industry.

POLL: Who Won the First Presidential Debate?
By	Olivia Stacey
Updated Sep 27, 2016 at 12:18pm
Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton faced off Monday night in the first of three televised debates at Hofstra University.
NBC News' Lester Holt moderated the 90-minute debate, which analysts — and betting markets — largely scored as a win for Clinton.
Read on for a recap of the debate, and vote in our poll at the bottom of the post on who you think won the debate.
"Donald, it's good to be with you," Hillary Clinton says during her first #debatenight answer https://t.co/1qowNjCLcA
— NBC News (@NBCNews) September 27, 2016
Clinton received the first question, which was decided by a coin flip.
The former secretary of state was asked directly why she would be a better choice than Trump. The Democratic nominee highlighted concerns over the economy and outlined her policy proposals.
"The central question in this election is really what kind of country we want to be and what kind of future we'll build together," she said.
Clinton added that she intend to build "good jobs," while making the economy "fairer." She discussed her intent to create equal pay, paid family leave, as well as pay and profit sharing.
"You have to judge us — who can shoulder the immense, awesome responsibilities of the presidency?" she said. "I hope that I will be able to earn your vote on Nov. 8."
Trump opens #DebateNight with statement on jobs
Watch: https://t.co/f6tCHdLkzn https://t.co/7j5p23eVtX
In Trump's opening statement he spoke of jobs "being stolen from us," and focused on the need to keep jobs in the United States.
He emphasized that American companies need to to be stopped from outsourcing overseas.
Trump said:
"Our jobs are fleeing the country. They're going to Mexico, they're going to many other countries. You look at what China is doing to our country in terms of making our product — they're devaluing their currency, and there's nobody in our government to fight them, and we have a very good fight, and we have a winning fight. Because they're using our country as a piggy bank to rebuild China, and many other countries are doing the same thing."
Job Creation & Trade Agreements
Clinton calls Trump's economic plan "trumped-up trickle-down." #debatenight https://t.co/GGFhUNefYh
Clinton responded to Trump's opening remarks by contrasting Trump's experience to her own.
"Donald is very fortunate in his life, and that's all to his benefit… he borrowed $14m from his father, he really believes the more you help wealthy people, the better off you'll be."
Clinton then described father's experience as a "small business" owner, dying drapery fabrics.
"We need to have smart, fair trade deals," she added.
Clinton said that Trump's proposal amounts to "trickle-down economics all over again."
"I call it Trumped up, trickle down," she said.
Holt asked Trump how he can bring back American manufacturing.
Trump responded: "Don't let the companies leave… 'You say, fine… if you think you're going to make… whatever you make and bring them into our country without a tax, you're wrong.'"
Trump said he'd place a substantial tariff on imported goods, which he said would "stop them from leaving."
Hillary Clinton hits Donald Trump over tax plan #debatenight https://t.co/QzIuVraV7G
Clinton says, "Let's stop for a second and remember where we were eight years ago."
She says the recession was due to "tax policies that slashed taxes on Wall Street… in fact Donald was one of the people who rooted for the housing crisis…"
Trump responded by saying "That's called business," but he let Clinton finish her answer.
Trump attacked Clinton on her plan to improve the economy and create jobs: "You've been doing this for 30 years. Why are you just starting to think about this right now?"
Clinton said, "Well, actually, I have thought about this quite a bit. … I think my husband did quite a good job in the 1990s…Incomes went up for everybody… manufacturing jobs also went up in the 1990s, if we're actually going to look at the facts."
Donald Trump: "NAFTA is the worst trade deal maybe ever signed anywhere" https://t.co/JlGwKHkN3A #DebateNight https://t.co/Un2mb28pYw
— CNN (@CNN) September 27, 2016
Trump continued to go after Clinton:
"When you haven't done it for 30 years… your husband signed Nafta, which is one of the worst things that ever happened. You go to Ohio, you go to Pennsylvania… Nafta is one of the worst things signed anywhere…'
He accused Clinton of supporting TPP. "You called it the gold standard," he added.
"That is just non-accurate," Clinton responded. "Well, Donald, I know that you live in your own reality, but that was not the facts…"
Trump pressed Clinton on the issue: "Was it president Obama's fault?"
"There are different views about our country, our economy and…"
Trump interrupted Clinton, "You have no plan. Secretary Clinton you have no plan."
Clinton responded, "I do. I wrote a book about it. … we have a very robust set of plans."
Raising Taxes on Wealthy Americans
Clinton said that Trump's tax proposals would not incentivize companies to return their profits to the U.S.
"When I look at what you have proposed, you have what is called now the Trump loophole," she said, implying that it would personally benefit him.
"As I said, Trumped-up trickle down. Trickle down did not work. It got us into the mess we were in in 2008 and 2009," she said.
Trump and Clinton spar over ISIS on #debatenight https://t.co/Hgj7SCZwvI
Trump made an attack against Clinton about how to defeat the Islamic State.
"No wonder you've been fighting ISIS your entire adult life," Trump said.
Clinton countered that she does have a plan to combat ISIS. Trump responded that she is broadcasting her plan on her website.
Trump's Tax Returns & Clinton's Emails
Donald Trump: I will release my taxes when Clinton releases her deleted emails https://t.co/GOKNpNBCR1 #DebateNight https://t.co/qeBjaLk4yk
Holt asked Trump why he hasn't released his tax returns. Trump said that he's under a "routine audit" by the Internal Revenue Service.
Trump then said he would release his when Hillary Clinton releases 30,000 personal emails deleted from her private email server.
Trump on Clinton's email controversy: "That was not a mistake" https://t.co/iXIwDaIPem #Debates2016 https://t.co/6ZHwtvN6nt
— CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) September 27, 2016
"I made a mistake using a private email," Clinton said.
"That's for sure," Trump responded.
"We have to tackle the plague of gun violence," Clinton says. #debatenight https://t.co/k7b4I5CZBm
The debate turned to race relations in the United States.
"Race remains a significant challenge in our country. Unfortunately race still determines too much," Mrs. Clinton said.
She cited the shootings of black men by police in Tulsa and Charlotte. She outlined her plans for better training for law enforcement, and a criminal justice reform bill. She also called for stronger background checks to limit firearms access to people who "shouldn't have them."
Clinton said, "We've got too many military-style weapons on the streets. In a lot of places, our police are outgunned…we need to keep guns out of the hands of those who'd do harm…
"There are things we can do and we ought to do it in a bipartisan way."
Holt followed up by asking Clinton: "Are you saying that police have an implicit bias against black men?"
She responded, "I think the implicit bias is a problem for everyone, not just police… too many of us in our great country jump to conclusions about each other."
"We need law and order in our country," Trump says. #debatenight https://t.co/VWd6nFN5lO
Trump said the violence in cities like Chicago can be solved with more "law and order."
"We need law and order in our country," Trump said.
Trump said police officers should remove firearms from people who should not have them.
"We have to take these guns away from people who shouldn't have them, who are bad people," Trump said.
Trump supported the idea of banning people on the FBI's terrorist watch list from purchasing firearms.
"Stop-and-frisk had a tremendous impact on the safety of NYC," Trump claims. #debatenight https://t.co/yRX4VwVdDm
Trump commended the highly criticized stop-and-frisk policy.
"We have a situation where we have inner cities, African-Americans, Hispanics are living in hell because it's so dangerous," Trump said.
Clinton said it is "really unfortunate that he paints such a dire, negative picture of black communities in our country."
She added that stop-and-frisk was "demonstrated to not work."
Birtherism
Donald Trump on President Obama: "I got him to give the birth certificate" https://t.co/o0Dfw9wjOL #DebateNight https://t.co/MwbG3nYJl4
Holt asked Trump to explain why he kept pressing questions about President Obama's birth place, even after the president produced his birth certificate proving he was born in Hawaii.
Trump cited the news organization McClatchy and claimed credit for getting Obama to release his birth certificate.
"I was the one who got him to produce the birth certificate and I think I did a good job," he said.
Holt asked Trump what he has to say to African Americans on the issue.
"I say nothing," he said, reiterating he's developed strong relations with the community.
Clinton says Trump "has really started his political activity based on this racist lie." #debatenight https://t.co/csnogA5m6Y
Clinton responded by saying that Trump's campaign was founded "on a racist lie."
She went on to reference a 1973 Justice Department lawsuit brought against Trump for housing discrimination. "He has a long record of engaging in racist behavior," she said.
Trump says DNC hack could be from Russia, China or "somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds." https://t.co/Q4sQWfS1wN
Clinton said Trump has been "very praiseworthy" of Russian President Vladimir Putin and said things to undermine America's national security. "That's why I was so shocked when Donald publicly invited Putin to hack into Americans," she said.
Trump responded by citing endorsements from admirals and the agency that represents border patrol agents.
Trump raised questions over the suggestion that Russia was behind a hack of Democratic National Committee emails.
"We don't know" who was behind the hack," Trump said. Maybe it was China, maybe it was a "400-pound" hacker.
Clinton outlined her plan to defeat ISIS, including to prevent online recruiting, supporting airstrikes in Syria and Iraq.
Trump says "wrong!" when Clinton says he supported Iraq invasion. #debatenight https://t.co/7Hw2MsX8uS
Clinton went on to say that Trump supported the invasion of Iraq. However, the Republican nominee interjected: "wrong, wrong."
Will You Accept a Loss in November?
The final question was whether the candidates will accept a loss in the election.
"I support our democracy. And times you win, sometimes you lose. But I certainly will support the outcome of this election," Clinton said.
Trump said he will accept the outcome of the general election if Clinton defeats him.
"If she wins, I will absolutely support her," Trump said.
Prediction Markets Score it a Win for Clinton
Clinton's odds of winning the election at Predictwise, which aggregates data from betting markets, moved from 69 percent before the debate to 73 percent in the hour after it ended.

I posted last week about my upgrade showing as "denied" in the "My Itineraries" section of united.com for a recent trip. Specifically, the flight from Tampa to Washington showed my upgrade as being "denied." When I checked in I wasn't even on the upgrade waitlist anymore, although I was quickly added at the ticket counter and my upgrade ended up clearing.
Well, it happened again. The upgrades cleared for three of my four upcoming flights, and one stayed waitlisted. Now it is only an Airbus 320 with four first class seats remaining so I'm definitely not counting on the upgrade, but I figured I at least have a fighting chance. I called reservations and they said they still see me as waitlisted, despite what united.com says.
I would love to know what this issue is here. Upgrades at the gate are partly based on the time you check-in, and I can't add myself to the upgrade list until I get to the airport if United keeps "denying" my upgrades.
A flight showed up this way for me, but it ended up clearing 4 hours before the flight. Since I had already checked in, I needed help at the airport to get a new boarding pass.
Had a similar case last week. I called 1K desk and they told me I was still on the waitlist, and I indeed cleared about at T-72 hours. My 5/1 seg was also waitlisted and now denied. I hope it's just the .bomb thing.
Speaking of UA, ben, would you post capt. flanagan's upcoming flights (with his permission, of course) ?
Lucky- Just had a similiar experience with a twist. Have a flight saturday in which the upgrade is listed as denied. When I went into my itinerary it showed me sitting in first. I selected my seats all while my upgrade still reflects "denied". I usually have the same experience as you where I have to get myself added at the airport, but this throws a new wrinkle into the upgrades. When does denied mean denied?
Yes, this has been happening to me too; I called the 1k desk and they said I was on the waitlist (2x) but I wasn't on the waitlist when I checked in either time. I took the time to talk to their web support team and they told me it was 'probably your computer'; when I told them it was showing up that way on my mobile as well they said it was just a glitch, then, but I was on the waitlist. So much for 'unlimited upgrades' … I got 34F on a 757 on the second flight…right in front of the bathroom…not even economy +, but the worst seat on the plane. How does that happen?


A liver scan is a nuclear medicine diagnostic procedure to evaluate the liver for suspected disease.
A small amount of radioactive material will be injected into your vein and 20-30 minutes after the injection pictures of your liver will be taken. You will need to lie on your back on a table for 30 minutes to 1 hour. While you are on the table several pictures of your liver will be taken.

Who Is The National Poet of Iran?
Iran has No official National Poet. Through the centuries, Persian potters have responded to the demands and changes brought by political turmoil by adopting and refining newly introduced forms and blending them into their own culture.
This innovative attitude has survived through time and influenced many other cultures around the world. Some Famous Poet of Iran:
1. Ferdowsi:- Ferdowsi is perhaps Iran's most famous poet, credited for writing the Shahnameh, the national epic of the Persian speaking world and the longest work of epic poetry ever written, composed of over 60,000 verses.
2. Hafez:- A hugely influential poet, Hafez went on to inspire generations of new poets both in Iran and in the wider world, including Goethe, who wrote his poetry collection the West-östlicher Diwan as a tribute to Hafez and his style.
3. Omar Khayyam:- Born in 11th century Iran, Omar Khayyam was a greatly influential intellectual figure, whose works spanned the fields of astronomy, mathematics, philosophy and poetry.

The Water Table
New York City-Midtown Manhattan
Fancy a drink on the deck of a ship? The Water Table is a weekend-only watering hole located a historic WWII-era vessel moored on the East Side (one of only three vessels of its kind still in service).
Fancy a drink on the deck of a ship? The Water Table is a weekend-only watering hole located a historic WWII-era vessel moored on the East Side (one of only three vessels of its kind still in service). The boat takes drinkers and diners out across New York Harbor, the sun glinting off Brooklyn Bridge, the buildings of Midtown looking particularly spiffing from the river. It's not just a novelty spot either; they do a decent cocktail, including some classics, like a zingy Moscow Mule and a well-made Negroni alongside a scattering of creative house drinks, like The Captain's Widow, gin laced with lavender bitters, floral and subtle. Given the setting perhaps a Manhattan would be apt (fortunately they serve them too). Dinner is part of the experience, and the New England inspired menu places an emphasis on local ingredients – Maine Lobster Roll, New England Dry Rub Chicken, epic lobster mac'n'cheese. Don't think of your typical stuffy dinner cruise, this is a contemporary exciting New York experience and a glorious way to appreciate the city anew while enjoying excellent food and cocktails in the process.
