First-of-its-kind clinic offers 24/7 opioid addiction treatment in Phoenix
By: John Genovese
Posted at 4:50 AM, Nov 02, 2017
A first-of-its-kind opioid treatment program is opening its doors to addicts seeking treatment around the clock.
"We don't have to turn anyone away," said John Koch, peer support program manager at the Community Medical Services North Phoenix clinic.
The location, off Northern Avenue near Interstate 17, offers medication, counseling and check-ups under a single roof. Other, similar facilities that administer medications like naloxone and methadone are typically only open in the morning.
"We want people to be able to walk in when they have that moment -- the moment of, 'I want some help, I need some help right now, I'm tired of living like this, what do I do?'"
In its first month of expanded hours, Koch said the clinic has taken in more than 150 patients. Within two minutes of walking through the door, he said, each person is paired up with a peer support mentor who is also in recovery.
Clinic operations are mostly funded through grants with support from the state, according to CEO Nick Stavros. Services cost $60 per week and most patients use Medicaid.
By next year, five similar 24 hours a day, 7 days a week clinics will be up and running around Arizona.

Where the frame "TRAK_main" is the frame with the HTML I need.
The last showforms() shows exactly the same forms as before the "login".
What am I doing wrong here?

A:
What am I doing wrong here?

Your answer lies here:

twill does not understand javascript.

When a browser loads that page, the js on the page executes, and the js assigns an onclick event handler to the Logon button. Then when the Logon button is clicked the event handler function sets the value for one of the hidden form fields.  The server checks for that value in the request, and if the value is absent the login fails, and the server redirects back to the login page.
Because twill does not understand js, the value for the hidden form field never gets set, and therefore when twill sends a request to the server the value for the hidden form field is missing in the request.
Websites try all kinds of tricks to keep programs from accessing their pages.

Mystery of How Early Animals Survived Ice Age Unraveled
Category: Wild Life Tags: New Discoveries / Prehistory

Troy Oakes
By Troy Oakes, December 8, 2019
How did life survive the most severe ice age? A McGill University-led research team has found the first direct evidence that glacial meltwater provided a crucial lifeline to eukaryotes during Snowball Earth, when the oceans were cut off from life-giving oxygen, answering a question puzzling scientists for years.
In a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, researchers studied iron-rich rocks left behind by glacial deposits in Australia, Namibia, and California to get a window into the environmental conditions during the ice age. Using geological maps and clues from locals, they hiked to rock outcrops, navigating challenging trails to track down the rock formations.

By examining the chemistry of the iron formations in these rocks, the researchers were able to estimate the amount of oxygen in the oceans around 700 million years ago and better understand the effects this would have had on all oxygen-dependent marine life, including the earliest animals like simple sponges.
Maxwell Lechte, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences under the supervision of Galen Halverson at McGill University, said:
"The evidence suggests that although much of the oceans during the deep freeze would have been uninhabitable due to a lack of oxygen, in areas where the grounded ice sheet begins to float there was a critical supply of oxygenated meltwater.
"This trend can be explained by what we call a 'glacial oxygen pump'; air bubbles trapped in the glacial ice are released into the water as it melts, enriching it with oxygen."

Around 700 million years ago, the Earth experienced the most severe ice age of its history, threatening the survival of much of the planet's life. Previous research has suggested that oxygen-dependent life may have been restricted to meltwater puddles on the surface of the ice, but this study provides new evidence of oxygenated marine environments. Lechte, who is also the study's lead author, said:
"The fact that the global freeze occurred before the evolution of complex animals suggests a link between Snowball Earth and animal evolution. These harsh conditions could have stimulated their diversification into more complex forms."

Lechte points out that while the findings focus on the availability of oxygen, primitive eukaryotes would also have needed food to survive the harsh conditions of the ice age. Future research is needed to explore how these environments might have sustained a food web. A starting point might be modern ice environments that host complex ecosystems today. Professor Galen Halverson said:
"This study actually solves two mysteries about the Snowball Earth at once. It not only provides explanation for how early animals may have survived global glaciation, but also eloquently explains the return of iron deposits in the geological record after an absence of over a billion years."

Though deeply flawed by evil, every human has inherent worth based on their creation in God's image. But on our own, we can never rid ourselves of guilt or shame apart from God's help.
God's compassionate pursuit of people who need his help. The ultimate example of grace was God sending his own son to make a way for our rescue. Some chafe about Jesus being the only way; it is only by God's grace that there is any way at all.
God's story and our story. The Bible is the account of God's creation, our fall, his pursuit, and our offer of redemption.

Q: iscroll: image carousel like App Store We are working on a mobile web application. The designer likes the image carousel effect on App Store (the screenshots of the an App). So we try to mimic the same effect using JavaScript.
We are using iScroll to implement. So here is a customization of its demo carousel: http://jsfiddle.net/0t9savgj/. The options are:
{
    scrollX: true,
    scrollY: false,
    momentum: false,
    snap: true,
    snapSpeed: 400,
    keyBindings: true,
    indicators: {
        el: document.getElementById('indicator'),
        resize: false
    }
});

The problem is: for the last image, there is always some extra space, which is unwanted:

Does any one knows how to solve this? Or some other JS libraries implementing the same carousel? Thanks.

A: After exploration, the only way is to use the scroll event of iscroll-probe.js. Manually stop the scrolling when reaching the right border. But the indicators are not exact.

Apple Testing Television Set Prototypes, 'Isn't a Formal Project Yet'
Wednesday December 12, 2012 5:43 am PST by Eric Slivka
Continuing the flurry of Apple television rumors in recent days following CEO Tim Cook's brief comments on the topic as part of an interview on Rock Center last week, The Wall Street Journal reports that Apple is indeed testing designs for future television set products. The report adds little to existing rumors, but does indicate that work is continuing and keeps the topic fresh in the public's mind.
Officials at some of Apple's suppliers, who declined to be named, said the Cupertino, Calif.-based company has been working on testing a few designs for a large-screen high-resolution TV.
Two people said Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., which assembles the iPhone and iPad, has been collaborating with Japan's Sharp Corp. on the design of the new television.
"It isn't a formal project yet. It is still in the early stage of testing," said one of the people.
The report notes that Apple has been testing television set prototypes for a number of years and that the company tests many different prototype products that never come to market, making clear that a launch is not imminent and that Apple could ultimately scrap its plans.

This has never made sense to me. Television sets are now so commoditized that there seems to be no point to Apple entering the market. Everything Apple would do well fits in a small black box. Why mess with the rest of the set and all the logistics that go with that kind of supply chain.
Technarchy
I love that TV makers are trying to beat Apple to the punch with shoddy UI's, wonky voice control and terrible "app" support.
Apple will do something cool and everyone will copy and say it was obvious...what isn't obvious when someone does it first?
croooow
We want an Apple TV! My television is so old already.
It's just a REALLY large iPod touch...;)
RetepNamenots
An Apple TV would be updated every year like all their other products, making it just as obsolete just as quickly (if not faster)
bjm2660
I want an Oompa Loompa now!
iRCL
TV is so outdated anyway. The whole thing just feels like the race off between HD DVD and blue-ray.. racing to be the best at something practically obsolete
Apple should just devote their time and resources to improve their current products and services than step into an entirely new market with hundreds of competitors.
If Apple can spend resources to start a new Television set project, I'd rather they spend some on salvaging more critical issues at hand such as the problematic, error-filled and almost life-threatening Maps application. Why start on a new project when current ones like this aren't completely completed yet?
Because there are more than 20 people working at the company
Ultra glossy TV.. No thanks!
JayJayAbels
It's almost like self induced punishment to read the comments on this forum.
Apple is most certainly working on a TV.
It WILL be awesome and innovative.
It WILL sell crazy like a schizophrenic zygote.
Apple will, unsurprisingly, retain it's technological crown.
Not a single forum member will admit they were wrong.
And round we go.
Her we go!
And I'm testing a new "Apple Television Set" bank account!
Four oF NINE
What they need to do is focus on a substitute for the cable box and remote for that.. My Time-Warner remote is a 64 button DISASTER!
Anyone can provide a monitor screen.. What Apple must do is provide non-clunky user interface solutions.

Gilkes, M.J. DOI: 10.1615/AtoZ.s.steam_engines
The potential of steam, the gaseous form of water, as an agent for the transfer of heat energy into mechanical work has been known for some two millenia. The eighteen hundred times expansion which occurs when water is boiled into steam had been recognized in classical times and the magic toys or perhaps temple devices of Hero of Alexandria utilized the properties of steam in a number of ways.
However, the restrictions of technology and a defective understanding of the nature of heat precluded further advances until after 1600 when the experiments of Torricelli on atmospheric pressure, Robert Boyle with gases and the demonstrations of von Guericke of the properties of a vacuum, coupled with early glimpses of an understanding of the nature of steam led to the conjectures of Samual Morland and others as to its possible use as a source of power.
In 1675, Papin devised an apparatus whereby a weight was lifted utilizing the condensation of steam. By 1698, further developments by Thomas Savery resulted in the first commercially successful steam engine "to raise Water by the force of Fire". However this, although utilizing both the expansive and condensing properties of steam, was restricted in its application to the lifting of water and pumping. The particular requirement for the draining of mines reflected the increasing demand for minerals especially coal.
The imperative for power, which hitherto had been met by the efforts of human and animal muscle, wind and water power, engendered by the burgeoning of the industrial revolution, led to further developments. While there may have been others, Thomas Newcomen, an ironmonger of Dartmouth, is credited with the building the first steam engine in which "a piston was moved in a cylinder by the agency of steam".
Usually described as the Newcomen atmospheric engine, the first full sized example, a mine pumping engine, appears to have been built in 1712 near Dudley Castle in Staffordshire. It was probably the outcome of a long struggle with models in which the many technical difficulties such as the matching of the piston to the cylinder were at least partially overcome. The Newcomen engine derived its effort from the condensation of steam, at very nearly atmospheric pressure, in the cylinder, the other end of which was open. The resulting partial vacuum led to the piston being forced down by atmospheric pressure. The piston was connected to a pivoted beam, which at its other end held a heavy set of pump rods. A valve was opened into the cylinder below the piston and steam (at a very low pressure) admitted. This permitted the piston to rise, drawn up by the weight of the pump rods. The. cycle was then repeated.
Immensely inefficient in that its action depended on the alternative heating and cooling of water and steam, the Newcomen engine nonetheless achieved widespread acceptance for pumping applications and by the middle of the eighteenth century several hundreds were in use.
In 1763, James Watt, a Glasgow instrument maker, developed and later patented his invention of the separate condenser, thus eliminating one of the major ineficiencies of the Newcomen engine. While still using steam at very low pressures, the increased efficiency of the Watt engines enabled them to be developed for rotative purposes. Aided by the manufacturing and business acumen of Watt's partner, Matthew Boulton of Birmingham, and his assistant, William Murdoch, their use became widespread. Almost contemporaneously Richard Trevithick used his experience with Cornish mining engines to employ the increased potential for work of the expansive properties of high pressure steam.
Technical advances such as the ironfounding innovations of the Darbys of Coalbrookdale, as well as the large cylinder boring techniques of Wilkinson soon resulted in the steam engine becoming the prime mover and facilitator of the rapid expansion of the industrial revolution, first in Britain then in Europe and the United States. As a translator of heat to mechanical energy, its potential for terrestrial and marine transport was being widely explored.
In Cornwall particularly the further applications of high pressure steam were investigated which lead to the development of Woolf 's compound engines and the development of boiler design. At the same time, much effort and ingenuity was deployed in the development of valve gears, condenser design and packing and sealing materials.
The theoretical aspects of the steam engine remained empirical and erroneously understood. Concepts of the nature of heat were allied to current ideas of caloric and related power to steam pressure. The writings of Carnot, and the experiments of Count Rumford, and James Joule of Manchester culminated, in 1843 with the introduction of new concepts which led to the understanding that "Heat and energy are mutually convertible . . ." and that the heat in a steam engine is the vital driving force and the pressure only a secondary force.
The work of Rankine and William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) further clarified the theoretical understandings and demonstrated that the steam engine was extremely inefficient. Thomson derived the key formula for the efficiency of a perfect heat engine which showed that the greater the temperature drop, the greater the efficiency of the engine. Henceforth the emphases of development were directed to "improving the construction of the steam engine and in seeking to obtain from it a larger amount of useful work with a given expenditure of fuel". There followed many technical advances including the Corliss Valve, high speed engines and improved governors. Towards the end of the nineteenth century the demands of steam power to generate electricity, as well as the massive power demands of textile mills and metal industries, represented only a fraction of the fields of application for what had become a universal prime mover. Other developments involved the Uniflow concept, superheating and innovations in boiler design and fuel utilization.
The reciprocating engine utilizes the expansion of steam, but the Aelopile of Hero, a turbine like toy, demonstrated the kinetic energy of steam. In 1884, Charles Parsons pioneered its practical application in the Steam Turbine. In this, the steam acts by either impulse or reaction as a mass that is set in motion in consequence of its own power to expand. Much development, including the discovery of the major contribution of efficient condensers to cycle efficiency, demonstrated the particular advantages of steam turbines for high speed applications such as electricity generation and, with appropriate gearing, ship propulsion.
Despite the development of various modes of internal combustion engine and their primacy in terms of size, flexibility and relative efficiency, the steam engine in its turbine incarnation remains a widely used form of power generator, and is virtually the universal final stage of the various methods of the conversion of nuclear energy into power.

Tottenham Hotspur Players
The one question Tottenham must quickly find an answer to before Liverpool & Man City drift away
The Lilywhites suffered a shock home defeat against Newcastle United on Sunday
Rob GuestTottenham Hotspur Writer
Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham 'didn't play well' in Newcastle defeat
Spurs will be looking to bounce back in style on Sunday when they travel across north London to face Arsenal.
Recording four points from a possible six after beating Aston Villa and drawing with champions Man City, the team slipped to a shock defeat against Newcastle United.
Steve Bruce's side took the lead through Joelinton in the first half and then held firm at the back to collect an unlikely three points after a disappointing start to the season.
The five players with uncertain futures at Tottenham ahead of European transfer deadline
Many Premier League teams will come to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and do exactly the same over the course of the season as Spurs are now seen as one of the best teams in the league.
Harry Kane believes it's something the team must quickly find an answer to as they struggled to find a way past the Magpies despite practically having all the ball.
"I think we've got to learn that teams are going to come here and if they get an early goal they will defend and make it tough, so we need to have the answers to that really," said Kane.

"Obviously we'd like to go ahead and go 1-0 up or 2-0 up and finish the game from that point of view but that's not always the case.
"When it gets difficult and into those tight moments in their half we need to find more answers, so that's all of us what we can work on and that's what we've got to try and do."
Tottenham have a kind run of league games at home over the next couple of months with Crystal Palace, Southampton, Watford, Sheffield United and Burnley all to come.
However, they may all turn out to be very similar games to the Newcastle defeat as the visitors will look to remain strong at the back and leave N17 with some points in the bag.

Seen as games the team must win if they want to keep pace with Man City and Liverpool in the title race, Kane has stated they will look to address the issue and improve ahead of Sunday's trip to the Emirates.
"Obviously winning the first was great and getting a point away at City is not a bad result," he added.
"This is where we needed to step up and if we want to be up there come the end of the season these are games at home you have to win.
"We've got a week now until another big game on Sunday and we'll have to address it and see what we can do better to improve and go from there."

If you are seeking a reliable and competent Berlin Winter Service for the removal of snow, the removal of icy conditions, and road gritting, you have just found it! We keep the pavements and driveways of your properties snow-free and ice-free, so that your safety and mobility during winter are ensured. Also in case of sudden onset of winter, you can rely on us. Difficult and extreme weather conditions are not a problem, but a challenge for us.
The Berlin Winter Service BEST is your specialist for the removal of snow and icy conditions as well as for road gritting.
When the winter comes, the Winter Service BEST comes to you.
When the first snow falls, our service starts immediately. Our gritting and cleaning services are working thoroughly and efficiently. We are fully committed to our customers`needs and responsive to their wishes. Our vehicles are kept up to date. They work reliably, even under extreme weather conditions. They meet all necessary standards and are environmentally friendly. Also concerning the gritting material, we attach great importance to environmental protection. We only use washed gravel.
many private clients (e.g. lawyers and notaries and professors).
When it is freezing and snowing, you can settle back and don`t need to worry about your winter duties. We manage everything for you! Professionally, quickly, and thoroughly. Also as regards insurances, everything is arranged: All properties are insured.
Therefore, you can demand the best from us – our best services.
As a property owner, it is your responsibility to keep the pavement snow-free and ice-free and to fight icy conditions by gritting or ice removal. For environmental reasons, you are not allowed to use salt. If you do not fulfil the obligations concerning snow and ice removal (in line with the Berlin street cleaning law), you risk a fine. In case of damage to property or persons, you are liable and carry the legal consequences. By commissioning the Winter Service BEST for the snow removal, not only a perfect availability of pavements, driveways, rubbish dumps, fireplugs, bus stops, commercial properties, parking spaces or other areas is ensured, but also the liability is transferred to us.
Additional information about why a winter service in Berlin is necessary and useful.
By commissioning the Winter Service BEST for the snow removal, not only a reliable removal of snow and icy conditions is guaranteed, but also the liability is transferred to us. Therefore, all winter long, you are on the safe side in terms of right as well.
ne of the main reasons for why most of the Berlin property owners commission a company with winter services is the associated transfer of the legal responsibility in case of accidents caused by icy conditions. Apart from the legal safety, there are practical advantages in having the winter services done by a professional provider.
Extreme weather conditions sometimes lead to iced pavements. This is not due to the failure of snow plowing services but caused by continuing snowfall combined with temperatures far below zero degrees or by freezing rain.
In case of strong and continuing snowfall and dependent on factors like location, size, and surrounding, on some properties snow masses can lead to a lack of space. In that case, sooner or later, the question of where to leave the snow arises.
Just as important as gritting is in times of icy conditions, just as annoying is the gritting material after the thaw: Apart from unsightly pavements, everyone knows the characteristic of the grit to get stuck in the treads of shoes and to be carried into the house and flat, as a result.
Apart from roof avalanches, also large icicles hanging from the gutter can create a danger for humans and animals, since they break off easily. Especially repeated freeze-thaw cycles provide ideal conditions for the growth of icicles, which can reach a weight of several kilos and become dangerous projectiles.
We also offer short-term snow removal missions for holiday replacement. In case you need a snow plowing service for one or several days or weeks, you can get in touch with us anytime. Of course, we take care of all administrative formalities.


Facebook's push towards blockchain and cryptocurrency is continuing at a rapid pace, if the Menlo Park firm's jobs board is to be believed.
As first reported by TNW, there are no fewer than 22 jobs up for grabs in the company's blockchain division, including a lead commercial counsel, finance analyst, and data scientist. The other roles available are predominantly based around business development, engineering and product management, and security; a threat investigator and security engineer for threat detection and response are wanted.
A month ago, The New York Times reported that Facebook was, alongside Telegram, Signal and others, 'planning to roll out new cryptocurrencies over the next year… meant to allow users to send money to contacts on their messaging systems.' The report added Facebook had assigned more than 50 engineers to work on the project.

Firth Of Fifth
by Genesis
Album: Selling England By The Pound (1973)
The title doesn't appear in the lyric, which is not unusual for Genesis. In this case, it has little to do with the song, but is something the band found amusing. In Scotland, there is a river called the Forth, and "firth" is a term meaning an inlet or estuary. Thus, the Firth of Forth. Tony Banks named the track "Firth Of Fifth" as a play on this.
"We're talking about the early '70s here, so it was a little bit pretentious," he said in a Songfacts interview. "It sounds more profound, in a way, than it is because it was supposed to be just a slight joke, really, as a title."
Running 9:36, most of this song is taken up by instrumental passages, but there are some lyrics, which seem to be set in medieval times and describe a journey of some kind. Peter Gabriel sang lead, but Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford this particular lyric. "It was just following the idea of a river and then I got a bit caught up in the cosmos and I don't quite know where I ended up, actually," Band told us. "But, it just about stands up, I think, for the song. For me, musically, it's got two or three really strong moments in it and fortunately they really carried us along. It's become one of the Genesis classics and I'm very happy for that."
A live favorite, the band played this song in concert throughout their career, with Phil Collins handling vocals after Peter Gabriel left in 1975.
The piano intro that leads off this track is some of Tony Banks' most acclaimed work. Recording it was a challenge, as noise from the pedal kept bleeding onto the track.
It was common for the band to write in bits and pieces, then combine them to make fully formed songs, which is what happened here. "I had this sort of arpeggio idea that I was working with," Banks said. "I'd written another piece which used a similar feel, which we never ended up using, and I just had this section of it, which I then developed and made this piece of. I thought it worked really well as a piano piece on its own, and then it worked well with an arrangement, as well. So, it's just one of those things. With Genesis, we just did what appealed to us, really. We didn't worry too much how other people were going to respond to it."
Pianos are not easy to transport and take up a lot of room on stage, so Tony Banks had to use an electric piano to perform this live, which never sounded as good as the real thing.

Needs of Specific Populations
Although rural jurisdictions share some common characteristics such as large geographic territories, small populations, and limited community resources, they may differ greatly by region and across or within counties (Weisheit et al. 1994). Underrepresented groups or populations with specific needs and characteristics may present unique challenges for rural providers. Some examples of specific populations and the additional challenges they raise are presented below.
Because some rural jurisdictions are considered seasonal destinations, tourists or vacationers occasionally become victims of crime. Providers must maintain contact with these victims even after they leave the area.
Migrant workers move from one temporary place of employment to another, which makes victim notification more difficult, expensive, and time consuming.
Helping male victims of sexual assault or domestic violence is compounded by the lack of community resources in rural areas. As one service provider reported, "The only shelter we have here is a female shelter and, even then, we don't have enough room for victims." (Angie Beason, Twin Falls County, Idaho, personal correspondence, December 5, 2002).
Immigrant women may be the subjects of discrimination, as well as victims of crime (Websdale 1998). The precariousness of their immigrant status and often-perceived dependence on their batterers for continued residence in the United States may discourage immigrant victims from seeking help, reporting their abuse, or cooperating with the criminal justice system (Grama 2000). Language and cultural barriers raise additional problems; courts may pay for a translator for a non-English speaking defendant, but not for a non-English speaking victim.
Minority women in rural communities may face discrimination, racism, and sexism (Websdale 1998). As Crenshaw (1993) observes, some minority women may even choose to stay in an abusive situation rather than struggle against racism to improve their situations.
Educating the community on the special factors surrounding rural victims of crime in specific populations is key to addressing these issues. Reaching out to churches and other faith organizations, schools, hospitals, and local centers or stores can bring attention to the unique situations of victims in specific populations.
In addition, a wealth of information and strategies for helping immigrant or migrant women to survive abuse can be gleaned from national organizations such as those mentioned in the section on victim advocacy training and technical assistance and listed in appendix A.5 The National Network to End Violence Against Immigrant Women offers an expansive network of information, technical assistance, and training to advocates, social workers, and other criminal justice-related providers who work with battered immigrant and/or trafficked women. The network is chaired by three major organizations: the Family Violence Prevention Fund, the National Organization of Women's Legal Defense and Education Fund, and the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild. Each provides trainings and technical assistance on different aspects of the fight to end abuse against immigrant women. Details on the network, and contact information for all organizations involved with it, can be found on the Futures Without Violence Website.
The Rural Leadership Project Manual,6 a product of the collaborative efforts of the U.S. Department of Justice's Office on Violence Against Women and the Family Violence Prevention Fund (FVPF), discusses how to create and sustain an immigrant leadership project. According to Monica Arenas, program assistant at FVPF, "The manual is based on the assumption that immigrant women are their own best advocates and are best able to assist other battered immigrants. They can gain the trust of immigrant communities better than an outsider, and they know what the problems they face are and how to develop solutions." This capacity is especially critical given that many immigrant farmworker communities are migratory and cannot develop sustained relationships with formal criminal justice and victim service agencies.

Sednem u 15icu malo pripit jer sam radio ceo vikend i pored mene sedne neko ko na telefonu ukljucuje hettrik. Onako, veliki zeleni ekran i sve jasno na njemu.
Posto nisam cuo nekog da je u poslednjih par godina poceo da igra hettrik pitam ga: "Koliko godina igras to cudo?"
On kaze: " paaa evo oko 5 godina. A jel pratis reprezentaciju?"
Kaze da jeste i pita za nick. Kad ono.. Skapiramo iz nadimka i naziva tkma - pored mene sedi kolega iz lige!!!
As Ernest Hemingway wrote in his story "The Old Man and the Sea": "A man can be destroyed but not defeated." This sentence really fits into the history of one of Hattrick users - 80 years old ignac35 (5827577). This is the interview with him - the oldest user of Hattrick in Poland, maybe in the world too.
1. Welcome. How are you? How do you feel? It is a real honor for me to work with you on this interview. It will be a tribute to you, your personality and your passion for this game. Not many of us will still play in Hattrick, having 80 years. Can we start?
Human nature (for most people) likes to be treated with interest. Such interest in my person I think is very pleasant for me. The fact that in such an advanced age I still play, it is somewhat unusual. Bad enough that this anniversary coincided exactly at the time when I decided between selling off an aging team, demoting to a lower league and then rebuilding it, or just quitting the game. The most important argument to give up the game is a serious illness of my wife (double stroke and a broken back) - in my advanced age and also with a number of ailments, I'm in the process of deciding whether to stay in the game. My friends didn't even allow the thought that I will finish the game. Returning to the human nature, I am at your disposal. I only fear that my old brain won't cope with the task. If there's anything wrong, please go slowly "step by step".
2. When were you born and what are you doing in this game?
I feel like I have 80 years and a limestone in my head. I was lucky to be born 31.03.1935 in Torun [Editor's note: town of Nicolaus Copernicus]. What am I doing in this game? It seemed to me that I fight for trophies, for victory. But opponents showed no respect for my age, showed me where is my place - in line. They treat me like an equal. And I like it, I must say. I feel that I'm still alive and I can still compete with young people.
3. As you said, things go wrong in your club. Time for some rebuilding?
I waited a little too long for the renewal of my club and the players lost on their value. One more season and probably "Romania" would have gone bankrupt as well. The decision was taken almost at the last minute (I think my accountant at the club is more calcified than me). Now I want to wait for lower prices of players. I will call a new coach. I'll buy attackers to train and maybe even promote again. If I just have enough time. Too many household duties. And that I think is most important.
4. What do you do outside of Hattrick and outside the household chores? How do you cope with the computer as a 80 years old?
Actually responsibilities of caring for home and family are the most important things and fill the day, so that the day becomes a bit too short. In this age everything becomes a lot slower. I stopped gardening, which had previously been my joy. Somewhat I neglected the small ponds over which me, my wife, friends and neighbors drank gallons of coffee. Such is the way of things. How to deal with a computer? The first time I sat down at a the computer was in December 2005, when I was about 70 years old. I was ashamed in front of my children, that I am so old, and I still have such fancies. "Kids" - 50 year olds - took this with joy and bought me a computer. The beginnings were difficult and even today some things are. At this age people have problems to learn new things. But slowly I learned some things. I'm not an ace, I will never be a computer scientist, but somehow I'm managing. Currently, I can not imagine existence without access to the Internet. How the world functioned without the Internet?
5. The Internet... what sites do you visit outside Hattrick? What do you like to watch, read? Do you have friends on line? Do you know people from Hattrick in the real world? I know that at one time you were friend with drago (2909702), who does not play Hattrick anymore, but he was a well known figure in the Polish Hattrick community - ex-coach of Polish National Team.
Most visited outside the daily news are sport pages, some other internet games about gardening, culinary sites (I am forced to cook). I use Skype messenger to have visual contact with my family spread across the world. I read just the local press and my favorite newspapers. My eyesight does not allow for more. In the real world I have many friends from the world of HT and not just neighbors. Drago and his wife visited us very often. Today I have only telephone contacts with him.
6. Who encourages you to play Hattrick? In other words: how did you get here?
A friend of mine introduced me HT - jertorb (6864125), he used to take strong arguments to persuade me. Many thanks to him for that!
7. What do you like in Hattrick? And what you don't?
If I participate in this game, it means that I like it. Sometimes I do not like arguments in discussions on the forum. But I have the right to ignore them.
8. Can you describe your day? From the moment you get up until you go to sleep. How does the day pass to a 80 years old man? I hope that we all live to see your years and like you still playing in Hattrick!
The day is subordinated to my sick wife. She has had two strokes and has a broken spine. My life is devoted to her and her needs. These are quite intimate matters, such that I can not describe it here. I get up at different times. A lot of my time, even if I have it very little, I spend (it may seem ridiculous) in the game "My free farm". We treat it as a mental rehabilitation for her. With rather good results. All duties which are to do at home - this is a two storey house with our own garden - and that are normally divided between two spouses, I have to do by my own. Shopping, breakfast, cleaning, preparing meals, washing the dishes... who has a family knows what we talking about. In addition, my age and my various ailments make sometimes that I just have enough. There are such moments and there are many more that I can fulfill the promise of 60 years ago, that I will not leave her and so on. And that makes me happy. I do not have a specific time when I need to do something - I react to the needs of the moment.
Rather, there is nothing interesting in this story. We met at the workplace. It immediately clicked and sparkles till today. It is said that love turns into a habit, but there are times that I like to hug my wife. Then we both can feel internal warmth and any problems go away for a moment. There is a warm feeling of joy that we are together. I can not say that our life was a paradise. There were difficult moments, quiet days, disputes. But there was never bad words and violence.
There was no engagement, we were poor. I was an orphan, and my wife without a father. Friends from work (we worked in the City Hall) arranged for us a wonderful civil marriage ceremony. Unforgettable moments. Later, the prose of life, two adorable sons. Around us we almost always had friendly people, and truth to be told - with very few exceptions - it is like this till this day.
10. What is the name of your loved one?
My wife's name is Lydia. The wedding took place in 1954. Family curiosity may be fact that the first son born 05.05.1955. We gave him the name Waldemar, without checking the calendar and it turned out that the name day is 5th of May too!
11. You were just 19 years old on the wedding day, and you have 61 years of marriage in total! Is there a couple in Poland, which has more years of marriage than you?
Well counted. Keep in mind that I was an orphan, and the creation of a full family, in my case, it was something important. Fortunately, fate has given us a sense of responsibility and the words "unto death" are the most important for us. I will open up before you. I have two sons, three granddaughters and one grandson and five great-grandsons and three great-granddaughters. The oldest great- granddaughter is 15 years old. We agreed that we will not die as long as she does not marry. Youngster said she won't marry, and now we have to live As for the 60 years of marriage, there are certainly lots of families like this.
12. This 15 years old girl is so nice, won't get married, and you should be able to live and live ... and may your happiness last forever. You said earlier that your wife is seriously ill and has, among others, serious problem with the spine. It was an accident?
It's hard to say exactly. During a stroke she fell and so she broke her spine. Fortunately, it's a non-displaced fracture and without damage to the core. However, about a month she was sleeping in a sitting position on the chair. It was a terrible view, she was terribly tired. Each cough it was such a horrible pain. She spends many hours in front of the computer (has her own), and even if she is a few months older than me, she pays all house bills by the internet from our bank account. She is so cool!
13. Let's get back to HT. What do you train in Hattrick? What tactics do you like to play? What settings?
Now - as I said - I am no longer involved in the game. However, I decided that I will stay with you for some time. In the middle of the season I'm going to buy players, call a new coach and train scoring. This obliges me to play line-ups with three forwards, which is 2-5-3 and 3-4-3. I play very often with one wing.
So far I trained scoring, making the rotation of trained attackers and leaving the three of them to the needs of the team. I was very stingy, and I didn't want to sell any players. I had pretty strong reserves. The reason for doing so was to have the satisfaction of victory, knowing that I'll stop playing anyway. But I'm still here.
(8110252) - and this is my son who lives in England.
14. So you have friends who have a common denominator for real life and Hattrick. One of your sons plays Hattrick. In addition, your beloved wife has nothing against it. Unusual! One of my old friends in Hattrick said that Hattrick is the only game with a soul. But what did you do when there was no internet? What was your entertainment? Reading books (what), watching movies (what), board games (what), card games (what), socializing (with who), walking-tours (where)?
This is a broad topic.
Like almost every male I am interested in sports in a broad sense: football, volleyball, tennis, F-1. To tell the truth - every sport where Poles have some achievements. I'm glad of their achievements, and then I feel better. Myself rather average, I played chess and bridge. During my entire adult life I loved angling (fishing with rod and line). Here I had a lot of achievements. Several times champion of the association. I represented the association at the regional championships, but usually with a rather weak effect. Interesting that my wife was interested in angling too, but just for fun. Walking? We were both very active in PTTK - Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Organisation. Walking in the mountains, even with the kids in a backpack, ah! that was it. Later evening fatigue, morning wash in the creek and continue on the road. We have many miles in the legs. We stayed in Szczawno Zdroj. Sudety. Later Myszków near the foothills. In those days, plants, factories had coaches to deliver us - fanatics, where we planned. The same with fishing. We have a lot to remember.

How Does The Polio Vaccine Reach A Remote Corner Of The World?
By Michaeleen Doucleff
Published October 24, 2012 at 11:49 AM EDT
Health workers transport the polio vaccine by donkey in southeastern Pakistan.
In the past week, we've had a lot to say about polio — from its history in the U.S. to vaccination efforts in Nigeria and Pakistan.
Why do we care so much about disease that has essentially disappeared from most of the world? Because we seem to be right on the verge of wiping out polio globally, making it just the second disease to be completely eliminated from the world.
Polio cases have plummeted in the past 25 years, from an estimated 350,000 in 1988 to only 171 cases so far in 2012. But as NPR's Jackie Northam tweeted last week: For polio " 'this close' is akin to being 'kinda pregnant'. You need to eradicate polio, full stop."
To do that, kids in the most rural corners of Pakistan and Afghanistan must be inoculated, not once, but multiple times.
So how does a heat-sensitive vaccine reach mountainous villages disconnected from roads and rivers? A few months ago, UNICEF Pakistan gave us an idea of the vaccine's remarkable journey. Here's how it works.

Putting numbers on the impact of basic research
Over at Pacific Standard, I tackle the question, How much does basic research really matter?
The idea that basic research is the indispensable foundation for technological and medical progress is widely accepted by scientists. It's the core rationale for the major government investment in basic research made in the U.S and around the world.
But what's the evidence for it? We can always come up with cherry-picked examples of a basic discovery that led to some revolutionary technology — general relativity and GPS, restriction enzymes and synthetic insulin, quantum mechanics and electronics, the double helix and genetic medicine, etc. Coming up with examples is easy. Quantifying the impact of basic research is hard.
A recent paper in Cell describes one way to do this. It's not perfect, but the concept is surprisingly simple. Pick some new technology or therapy — the authors picked the new cystic fibrosis drug Ivacaftor — and follow the trail of citations to build a network of papers, researchers, and institutions that made the drug possible. Of course this network will include a lot of citations to studies that weren't particularly critical. The trick here is sorting the wheat from the chaff: picking out the 'network hubs', the researchers and institutions that contributed consistently to the research that led to the drug.
The result may be not surprising to those of us working in science, but it's still remarkable to see: dozens of researchers publishing hundreds of papers over several decades laid the essential scientific foundation for Ivacaftor. Continue reading "Putting numbers on the impact of basic research"

John Baez does network theory
I love John Baez's blog that was a blog before we called things blogs, This Week's Finds. (He also writes the Azimuth blog, linked in our blogroll below. And I tip my hat to my father-in-law, who first introduced me to Baez's blog.)
Baez is now writing on network theory. Baez typically focuses on math and physics, but this series is great for biologists:
I wish there were a branch of mathematics—in my dreams I call it green mathematics—that would interact with biology and ecology just as fruitfully as traditional mathematics interacts with physics. If the 20th century was the century of physics, while the 21st is the century of biology, shouldn't mathematics change too? As we struggle to understand and improve humanity's interaction with the biosphere, shouldn't mathematicians have some role to play?
And while you're over there, check out his section on how to learn math and physics, and his advice to young scientists.

Sedgwick County residents grapple with sexual assault accusations against sheriff
DA: By law, the Coroner is now the Sheriff
By: Lance Hernandez
SEDGWICK COUNTY, Colo. -- Word that Sedgwick County Sheriff Thomas Hanna had been charged with sexual assault spread like wildfire through Julesburg, the county seat, on Wednesday.
"We pretty much learned about it yesterday afternoon," said County Commissioner Mark Turner. "It's tough on a small community like this, for anything like this to happen. It's just a disappointment."
Hanna was elected to office in 2014, with nearly 61 percent of the vote. Afterward, he posted on Facebook:
"I am truly humbled to become the Sheriff elect of Sedgwick County. Thank you to everyone that voted for me; I will not let you down and I will keep the promises that I have made. It is time to show this county what a respected, proactive, and professional department can do to better the lives of the citizens of this community."
Now, many residents say they have been let down.
"I'm just really surprised and shocked," said neighbor Alayne Rattigan.
"It's an embarrassment and it's quite sad," said Christine Hadeen, part owner of the Antiques and Artisans shop in downtown Julesburg. "It's hard for some people to stay on the straight and narrow path in their life, but they sure need to try harder."
Rattigan told Denver7 that she's not as concerned about the Sheriff and his issues, as she is his wife, who has filed for divorce.
"It's a small town," Rattigan said, "and I think she needs some support. Sometimes people tend to overlook the collateral damage. It's something she didn't cause, yet it could affect her."
"My reaction was, 'Oh gosh,'" said County Commissioner Jim Beck. "It's heartbreaking for a small town."
Beck said he doesn't want to judge Hanna.
"I don't condemn anybody for anything until he's proven guilty," Beck said. "He's still a good man."
Hanna is being held in the Logan County Jail on $250,000 bond . He's due back in court Sept. 16.
The 13th Judicial District Attorney, Brittny Lewton, told Denver7 that by law, the Coroner is now the Sheriff.
"Whenever a Sheriff is unable to perform his duties, the Coroner becomes the Sheriff," she said.
Howard McCormick will oversee the office until the Sedgwick County Commissioners can appoint a replacement.

Home > Speed-skating > Roller-skating all around the world > World Tour on the track of Yeosu: Welcome to Chile!
On 18 September 2011 at 16:03 | updated on 08 November 2016 at 10:50
World Tour on the track of Yeosu: Welcome to Chile!
The skaters of this tricontinental country had to travel to a fourth continent to meet and confront the best skaters in the world of the discipline, in Yeosu, South Korea – thus in Asia. Let's meet the Chilean skaters...
Presentation...
Indeed, the Republic of Chile is part of South America (a territory 4300km long from Peru to Cap Horn and 180km wide), of the Pacific Ocean (with the Easter Islands), but also of the Antarctic (the government claims to have a posession on the continent).
The delegation of Pablo Neruda's country
The 2011 Chilean delegation was made of fourteen athletes and five officials. Six out of the fourteen skaters were in the Junior Category, and the male-female parity was perfectly respected both in Juniors and Seniors. Amongst the officials there were a doctor, a leader and three coaches. According to the level and the results of the skaters, the Chilean government gives financial support, so that they have somehow a semi-professional status.
Skating and sports in Chile: « If you've got free time, you shouldn't do sports but work even more! »
Skating isn't developped nor recognized in Chile. « Sports in general are not actually recognized in the country » one of the coaches says. « It's not part of the Chilean culture, work is above everything else! If you've got free time, you shouldn't do sports but work even more! » the assistant adds.
Football is apart. Indeed, it's the national sport, the most popular since 1933, which is the date when the Chilean Liga was born. Even if their qualifications to the World Cup happen to be quite uneven, still the Chilean footballl players won the Bronze at the Olympic Games of Sydney in 2000.
Let's go back to skating. There must be around 500 skaters on the whole territory, who are members of one of the 35 clubs affiliated to the federation.As for facilities, the country has two tracks and three road circuits in the capital, the biggest urban center of the country with 7 billion inhabitants (i.e. a third of the Chilean population) and not less that 37 different districts.
The selection for the World Championships
The criteria are very specific, and they are all known in advance by the skaters pretending to a national selection.
Nine reference races, determined at the beginning of the season, are needed for both sprinters and long-distance skaters. The skaters have to chose if they want to go in for sprint or long-distance as they are not allowed to take part in both. The seven best results will be taken into consideration to draw up the list of the selected skaters for the World Championships.
Let's note that the national championships are not on the « nine » list and are thus in no case decisive for the world championships. However the Pan-american Championships, where Chile ranked 2nd behind Columbia and in front of the USA, are on the list – just like other races taking part in Columbia, Ecuador, Argentina and Venezuela.
Once the selection done, the athletes go on with their personal trainings, and meet together for a 10-day training in Santiago of Chile, just before their departure to Yeosu.
In Yeosu
Like for the Venezuelians, it took the Chileans more than 30 hours from door to door to arrive to the Land of the Morning Calm. This is why they decided to come quite a long time before the competition. The Chilean delegation left their country on August 14th to arrive in South Korea on August 16th. The trip back was planned on September 9th.
The objectives of the selection were not completely set: « We knew we had good skaters, but the competition is particularly tough, thus concerning our best athletes, we hoped they would enter Top-5s » the head coach explains. The Chilean results exceeded their coaches' expectations for the best!
« Por la razon o la fuerza »: By reason or by force
With the national motto in mind, the Senior woman Maria Jose Moya and the Junior boys Hugo Ramirez and Emanuelle Silva surpassed themselves to go and get their gold and silver medals.
Maria Jose Moya is one of the four South Americans who got through to the much talked-about new final of the road 500m, having ousted the Asians and the Europeans, but also having afforded to knock out the Columbians during the semi-finals. Maria Jose Moya thus won the silver medal just behind the Venezuelian and in front of the Mexican in 43'920, only three hundredth behind the title.
The young long-distance skater Hugo Ramirez also went for silver on the road 20.000m elimination race just behind Chao Tsucheng of Taïwan and in front of American Mario Valencia.
Emanuelle Silva wins gold during the time 200m, whereas he'd been really unlucky for the track time 300m in falling at the last bend before the finish line... His opponents were right to fear him as he won the jersey with the masterly time of 16'433! This time would have ranked him at the 5th place in the Senior Category, just behind Spanish Ioseba Fernandez (16'416) and in front of Columbian Pedro Causil (16'515). These brilliant results should inspire him for sure... That's good timing: Emanuelle still has one year left to improve his times before confronting the world elite of long-distance, with the Seniors in 2013.
At the end of these 2011 World Championships, Chile is 6th at the world ranking just in front of France! It stays 2nd of the American continent behind the unbeatable Columbians.
