Deep in Canada's northern Rocky Mountains lives a black bear sow we've come to know and love. We wait every spring to see if she made it through the winter and this year we were thrilled to find her healthy once more and, better yet, being accompanied by three cubs of the year.
The black bear family provided wonderful entertainment and education across several weeks in May and June, including their annual consumption of tree cones. The sow, in fact, wasn't content with just eating the calorie rich cones and would frequently break off large branches, sending inedible elements tumbling to the ground. And when a cub got stuck awkwardly on the tip of a tree, now lacking in limbs, she should balance on the smallest of branch nubs to help it down.
Though not rare to see, it was a special few weeks with a special black bear and her wonderful cubs – one of our best all time black bear encounters.

Consumers, especially those aged 18-34, are purchasing retailer meal solutions more often, according to an updated Technomic study.
The 2015 Retailer Meal Solutions Consumer Trend Report found 84 percent of consumers purchase retail meals at least once a month, versus 79 percent in 2012.
Consumers are also eating less fast food as a result. Almost half of all respondents and 60 percent of millennials said they visited fast food restaurants less often because they were buying retail meals.
"Further enhancing the in-store experience and innovating with differentiated, restaurant-quality menu items will help retail-prepared food operators continue to steal share of stomach," Kelly Weikel, director of consumer insights at Technomic, said in a press release. "Operators and suppliers can appeal to consumers by offering dishes featuring new and ethnic flavors, such as spicy Asian flavors and regional Latin flavors."

Quick post today, as we're sadly/finally () flying back to Chicago this morning. It's been a wonderful trip, and I can't wait to share all, but first and foremost I wanted to get the Sail to Sable palm print collection up on the blog since it's selling out quickly!
I've been on a search for the perfect palm dress for YEARS, and I finally found it. It's great for casual settings and dressier ones; heck, I even wore it to the beach yesterday! Certainly a show-stopper.
The best part, though? It has a very straight cut, which is super flattering on nearly everyone, including preggos. :) I will say that the particular maxi dress I'm wearing is oversized; I ordered one size up and definitely should have gone with my normal size, even with the bump. But it'll be nice to be able to wear it until the end of my pregnancy. I have a couple of press trips coming up in late February and March that it'll be great for! But yes, I would recommend sizing down.

The Greatest Male Runner in Thurston County History
Dave Gordon near the finish line of his great Olympic Trials Marathon run
He was my teammate at the University of Montana where he was an All-American. He went on to become the first American finisher at the Boston Marathon one year. He made the USA world championship team in the marathon and finished about nine seconds from making the U.S. Olympic marathon team.
Dave Gordon is the best male runner and track and field athlete in Thurston County History. He has gone further than any runner in our sport in the history of our community.
Dave Gordon's marathon time of 2:11 is still the fastest marathon time of anyone in Thurston County running history. So is his 10k time.
One year, ABC wide world of sports highlighted Dave Gordon as one of the elite marathon runners in the United States. It is rare to have someone from our community highlighted on the national stage.
Dave is a graduate of Capital High School in Olympia, Washington, and still lives in the Olympia area. When we ran together, Dave only had one gear, fast.
Dave was the Olympic team alternate in the marathon and had a PR of 28:14 for 10,000 meters on the track. Dave also ran 13:41 for 5k on the track. He was an NCAA Division I All-American in Track and still holds the all-time marathon and 10,000-meter records in our area after more than 30 years.
Even though Dave ran at such a high level in the marathon, he is rightfully proud of his 13:41 5k as well. Dave acknowledges that he was much more of an endurance runner with limited speed. To run a 5k so fast with limited raw speed is another one of Dave's incredible accomplishments.
On somewhat of a side note, we had an amazing middle and long- distance team at the University of Montana during the coaching era of Marshall Clark. Dave had some great training partners at Montana most notably Tom Raunig who ran 28:24 for 10k and 2:12 for the marathon. Running with a guy like Tom no doubt helped Dave's development as a world class runner. Dave also had some good coaches over the years to help him reach the world class level as well.
Marshall Clark was the head cross country coach at Stanford University for many years before becoming the head coach at Montana. He coached marathon Olympians Tony Sandoval and Don Kardong when they ran at Stanford.
Our cross-country team at Montana included Dave who ran 2:11 in the marathon, Tom Raunig who ran 2:12 in the marathon and in the 28's for 10k, and Mike Brady who ran 2:15 in the marathon. Five of the top runners on our team in that era eventually ran in the 29's or under for 10k on the road or track.
The great coach Bob Sevene also played a key role in Dave's success during his post-collegiate years.
Dave finished ahead of Boston Marathon champions Bill Rodgers and Greg Meyer at the 1984 U.S Olympic Marathon Trials. For those of you who don't know, Bill Rodgers was a four-time winner of the Boston Marathon! Dave also finished ahead of 1980 Marathon trials winner Tony Sandoval in his 1984 trials race.
While Dave just missed the Olympic team finishing fourth, our University of Montana teammate Tom Raunig was also in the mix, finishing tenth in the same Olympic trials marathon race. It was pretty cool for Dave to run with Tom at Montana and also on his Post-Collegiate team, Nike's Athletic West Pro club.
After Dave's incredible running career, he became a national class cyclist. Dave is still active in the biking community. More importantly, Dave is an amazing person and a great guy. His legacy will inspire future runners in our area for years to come.
The official results from the 1984 Olympic Marathon Trials are below. Dave missed the U.S. Olympic team by a mere 9 seconds. He served as the Olympic Team alternate and was ready to run in the Olympics if anyone on the team was injured.

If you cherish your vinyl and want to hear the most from it, the R32 MM-MC amplifier provides the ideal interface between the low-level output of a cartridge and the line-level inputs of your hi-fi system. Having a standard component width rather than the 'midi' size of its R20 predecessor, the R32 is easier to install and matches other Primare components for a uniform system look. Its larger chassis also benefits circuit layout, allowing newly upgraded and highly sensitive signal components to be better isolated from an improved power supply, resulting in cleaner sound and greater fidelity.
Relay controlled mute circuit for silent power on and off.

Home » Mariners stun Red Sox with five 2-out runs in 9th
Mariners stun Red Sox with five 2-out runs in 9th
By Anthony Dion August 22, 2014 Updated: August 23, 2014 9 Comments4 Mins Read
The duck snort that fell.
It doesn't have quite the ring of 1995's "Refuse to Lose," but Friday's stunning 5-3 come-from-behind victory over the Red Sox in which the Mariners came through with five consecutive two-out hits, could spawn a new "Two outs, so what?" theme for the 2014 squad. Down to their final strike on three separate occasions, the Mariners staved off defeat in Fenway Park to give their playoff run a catapult of a triumph.
The hit that may live in Mariners lore came from the bat of Dustin Ackley in the top of the ninth. With the tying and go-ahead runs on second and third with two outs, Ackley dropped a blooper into shallow left field, to drive home both runs.
An absentee offense looked ready to hand over another game Seattle (69-58) could ill afford to lose. It entered the ninth trailing 3-0 with two hits against a staff that entered the game ranked 10th in the American League with a 3.91 ERA.
Instead, with Logan Morrison on first after a single, Endy Chavez worked a two-out walk on a key 10-pitch at-bat versus closer Koji Uehara. Chris Denorfia, pinch-hitting for Brad Miller in the nine spot, singled to left on a 1-2 pitch to load the bases.
That brought Austin Jackson to the plate. After falling behind 0-2, Jackson rifled Uehara's third offering off the Green Monster in left field to bring home Seattle's first two runs. That brought up Ackley.
Uehara got ahead 0-1 before leaving a fastball over the inner half of the plate. Ackley cued it off the end of the bat, flipping a pop-up into shallow left. But as it floated into the territory between leftfielder Yoenis Cespedes and shortstop Brock Holt, it was clear it wasn't the can of corn it appeared to be.
The ball dropped safely into no-man's land, eluding a desperate diving attempt by Holt, for a 4-3 lead. Robinson Cano followed with a single, which Ackley, running on the pitch, scored on from first.
Fernando Rodney closed out a stunned Red Sox lineup, yielding only a two-out walk, to pick up his 37th save. The Mariners exploded from the dugout to celebrate a win unlike any they have had in recent memory.
The five hits in the ninth rescued Felix Hernandez from a sure-fire loss. After an off-day Thursday, Seattle looked lethargic as it opened the final series of a nine-game, 11-day road trip in Fenway, a place it hadn't won since May 2011.
Hernandez and Boston starter Joe Kelly traded zeroes through five innings as neither team could muster a clutch hit. Cespedes altered that script in the sixth inning.
A fortunate bounce off the second-base bag gave Daniel Nava a leadoff double. After Dustin Pedroia grounded out to advance Nava to third, manager Lloyd McClendon had Hernandez intentionally walk David Ortiz, already 2-for-2 to up his career average to well over .300 against Hernandez.
That brought the former Oakland outfielder to the plate. Cespedes grounded into a double play and struck out, but extended a tiring Hernandez with a nine-pitch at-bat. On the final pitch, Hernandez hung a changeup and Cespedes crushed it over the wall in left to give Boston a 3-0 lead.
The hit seemed to take all the air out of Hernandez (13-4, 2.07 ERA) and his teammates. Seattle's ace walked Allen Craig before getting Will Middlebrooks to pop out on his 116th and final pitch. Hernandez was finished after allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven to surpass 200 strikeouts for the sixth consecutive season.
Brandon Maurer and Dominic Leone combined to hold the deficit with 2.1 scoreless innings of relief. But the efforts did little to ignite an offense that struggled to get anything going even after Kelly (2-3, 4.09 ERA) left after five innings.
After notching one hit off Kelly over five innings, a Cano double was all the offense they managed off a bottom-tier Red Sox bullpen until manager John Farrell turned to Uehara.
Boston had been 44-0 when leading after eight innings . . . Seattle outfielder Michael Saunders will miss two or three more minor-league games with the flu. Saunders (oblique) is rehabbing with AAA Tacoma where he is hitting .257 with a .493 on-base percentage in 10 games. His 20-day rehab stint is due to end Aug. 26 . . . The no-decision Friday was Hernandez's 10th . . . Morrison came into the game hitting .327 over a span of 20 games since July 27 . . . Holt replaced starting shortstop Xander Bogaerts in the sixth inning after the latter left with concussion-like symptoms from a pitch that hit him in the head.

"The no-decision Friday was Hernandez's 10th. "
So, technically, he should be 23-4! That's how absolutely, disgustingly sh***y this line-up is. Big whoop they finally pulled one out late. How many times has Felix come out after seven or eight innings and zero run support?
But hey, how 'bout that 0-5 Morales?
jafabian on August 23, 2014 6:51 am
At least he didn't get tagged with the loss.
RadioGuy on August 23, 2014 11:38 am
This post reminds me of a line George Carlin delivered in his Al Sleet persona: "Behind every silver lining, there's a dark ol' cloud."
Thank God the Mariners won. Some of us are even happy about it.
Da Kid on August 23, 2014 2:36 pm
Want to hear what Carlin had to say about God? ;)
RadioGuy on August 24, 2014 6:32 pm
Which Carlin? The one who was brilliant and fresh in the 60's and 70's, giving us the Seven Words (the ban still applies, BTW); or the one who was a bitter old man by his end, still witty and ironic but more angry than humorous? Like Bill Maher but with better material.
I loved vintage George Carlin but felt embarrassed for him in the '90s and '00s because he reminded me of King Lear shaking his fist at the sky for bringing the winds.
Big on August 23, 2014 6:56 am
Just win baby and that's what the M's did. Technically, Felix is 13-4. However if you like downers, is Felix's tank running low when the M's need him pumped up for the drive to the play offs?
It was '95 all over again! Uehara is one of the top closers in the AL. To be able to come back with him on the mound isn't easy. A big step in getting this team to believe it can win under any circumstance.
It will NEVER be '95 all over again. That's why '95 is '95.
Anyone who still invokes 1995 is required to forfeit every bobblehead they've acquired since. That includes Howard Lincoln and the M's promo department, who just can't stop beating to death a once-in-a-lifetime moment of magic. In case you missed it, they're already running Niehaus audio clips from '95 on the radio broadcasts. I guess that's supposed to take our minds off the last 10 years of terminal mediocrity.
You, my brother, have been around this clubhouse long enough to know better.
Eddie on August 23, 2014 9:40 am
Did anyone even see the end of the game? Come on, how many of you stopped watching at 7 when the Hawks' game started? I did and am p***ed! I even deleted my DVR recording because I needed the space. Awesome win though! Go M's!


A Wells Fargo & Co. pension expert testified Thursday in the Bell corruption trial that he drew up a special retirement plan for city administrators Robert Rizzo and Angela Spaccia that would have allowed them to increase their already huge pensions by at least $375,000 a year.
Alan Pennington, an actuary in Nashville, Tenn., testified that his projections showed that the plan would have paid Rizzo $7.5 million over his lifetime, and Spaccia, who is younger, $8 million.
The plan was to set it up so that the percentage used to calculate Spaccia's benefits was twice that used for Rizzo. Pennington was not asked whether Rizzo knew about that arrangement.
Pennington testified that most of his dealings were with Spaccia but that she told him that Rizzo was calling the shots.
Spaccia is being tried on 13 felony counts related to corruption in Bell, where she was assistant city manager. Rizzo has pleaded no contest to 69 corruption-related felonies. Both were accused of looting the small town's treasury by drawing extraordinary salaries and awarding themselves generous benefits.
About 40 Bell employees were given supplemental city pensions on top of their usual retirement benefits through CalPERS, giving them among the most lucrative pensions in the state for non-safety government employees.
Wells Fargo was hired to develop a pension plan that allowed Rizzo and Spaccia to get around certain restrictions on pensions for highly paid government employees.
Pennington's testimony was technical and sometimes confusing. "I don't know about the jury but I'm having a difficult time following this," Superior Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy said.
The actuary, who testified standing up because of a back injury, said he had never heard of this kind of pension plan being set up for government employees.
He also said he had not heard of government officials earning the salaries Rizzo and Spaccia were making. Rizzo received total compensation of about $1.18 million a year and Spaccia $564,000.
Eligibility for the pension plan was set up so that Rizzo and Spaccia were the only Bell employees who qualified.
In one email, Pennington told Spaccia if would be a good idea for her to consult legal counsel about the plan.
Spaccia, in several emails shown to the seven-woman, five-man jury, tells of trying to keep the plan secret, worried at one point that the city's financial director, Lourdes Garcia, would want in on the deal.
"I don't think it looks good to keep drawing attention to it," she wrote Pennington.
Pennington also sent Spaccia a newspaper article talking about the furor over the $900,000 salary that Bruce Malkenhorst, the former city manager of neighboring Vernon, was receiving. Spaccia said she was not worried.

What is your idea of Success? What do we teach kids about success?
How do we inspire kids to challenge themselves but not get fanatical.
How do we teach children and teens about moderation but also keep them from getting lazy?
How can kids be self sufficient and also be able to love others?
These are the questions many parents and teachers ask themselves. If we don't examine these questions for ourselves – we are probably just passing on ideas of success that we've learned without thinking about it.
For instance – here were some ideas I learned from all over about what success is. I'm not saying they are wrong or right, but they are things I didn't examine for myself until I thought about what true success is. Maybe they're familiar to you?
Success is never calling in sick to school or work.
Success is having a boyfriend/husband.
Success is not being in debt/and not being greedy.
Success is getting a good, secure job, and then working hard to get promoted.
Success is getting good grades.
Success is being able to do wheel pose.
Success is getting into my "skinny" clothes.
Success is being nice to others.
Yikes – don't get me started. All these ideas of what I thought it was to be good/successful.
It wasn't till a close friend/relative of mine passed on that I realized how many of these things don't really matter in this short life we've got. So, what does it mean to be a success?
Some people have been asking about my next Kids Yoga Training course, but I find the summer time is too busy to do a long training course. So we'll put this twelve hour course off till the fall. This summer I will be holding two short workshops, in Toronto, where we will examine The Foundation of True Success.
Do Your Kids Want to Be Famous?
These workshops were inspired in part by Michael Jackson's recent passing. He "had it all" yet True Success was another story. This topic is also inspired by the large number of children that tell me they want to be famous when they grow up. Through yoga and meditation we can offer kids alternative notions of success, beyond fame and wealth.
While success does not have to leave out fame and wealth – what is it really? If success is fame or money or even a great yoga body – why is the misery of so many rich, famous, beautiful people plastered all over the tabloid magazines?
So let's start the discussion here and for those who can make it, we'll really get into it in the workshops. I think it is an important topic for all teachers and parents!
Tell me What is True Success to you? or if you prefer What Isn't Success?
Leave your comment here. I also invite you to join us for one or both of these summer workshops (click here for details) called: The Foundation of True Success.
By understanding what success is and meditating on our personal vision of success, we can Consciously discuss the idea of success with the kids we love and teach rather than leaving it to magazines, TV, and other media.
True Success and Mistaken Success – What is Success?
All the details of the workshop are here. Space is limited so register early. Each workshop will include yoga, meditation, and a comprehensive look at True Success and how we can experience more of it in our lives.
I love the idea of measuring success by our happiness quotient! It gives each person the freedom to do what makes them happy – to FOLLOW YOUR BLISS. What makes us happy is always evolving too, so its not as easy as it may appear, and yet it also is.
Now its your turn. Think about success and leave a comment on what it means to you. If you are in the area I'd love to see you at the workshops.

Looking westward along the south railing of the boardwalk. We're near the top.
More vandalism on the boardwalk. Between 28 Oct 2014, ~2:30pm (when I was last here) and ~10:30am today (when I discovered the damage), some one smashed about half a dozen caps. City staff replaced them today.


She is a Young Professional member of MFM.
• What are your current position and main job responsibilities?
I'm the Assistant Controller for Bonneville International in Seattle. My main job responsibilities include month-end close, calculating commissions, various sales, and expense analyses, working closely with the sales and traffic departments to improve operations, and assisting the controller with forecasting and budgeting.
• How long have you worked in media?
I worked at Bonneville for a couple years, then left the industry for a couple years and have happily been back for three years now.
• How did you get involved with MFM and what do you benefit the most from by being a member?
I attended my first MFM conference in Denver in 2016 and joined the YP Committee then. I've valued the connections I've made with people at the conference or on our monthly calls. I've reached out to various people I've met through MFM as resources on different projects, as well as maintained friendships from the conferences.
• How do you think young professional members can help grow MFM?
I think young professionals can help grow MFM with new ideas for involvement and fresh perspectives. Since we are the future, it is important we stay active and involved with the organization.
• Where do you get the majority of your news from? What platform and source?
• How do you discover new programming content and what shows are on your must-watch list?
I usually discover new content by word of mouth or various social media outlets. Some of my favorite shows right now are Game of Thrones, Homeland, Stranger Things, Ozark, The Handmaids Tale, The Bold Type, and various documentaries and docu-series.

Study of Radical Cystectomy and Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab in MIBC Patients
The following summary is "Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab and Radical Cystectomy in Patients with Muscle-Invasive Urothelial Bladder Cancer: 3-Year Median Follow-Up Update of PURE-01 Trial" published in the December 2022 issue of Oncology by Basilem et al.
Patients with muscle-invasive urothelial bladder cancer were the first to receive /neoadjuvant immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapy prior to radical cystectomy (RC) in the PURE-01 study (NCT02736266) muscle-invasive urothelial bladder carcinoma(MIBC). After a median of 3 years of follow-up, researchers report the survival results here. A total of 155 people were included in the "intention to treat" (ITT) population analysis. Time to radiographic disease progression preventing RC, starting of neoadjuvant chemotherapy, recurrence after RC, or death was used to calculate event-free survival (EFS) from the start of pembrolizumab treatment. After radiotherapy and chemotherapy (RC), additional outcomes included progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS).
The EFS was analyzed using multivariate Cox regression. Using Kaplan-Meier analysis, the EFS outcomes were compared by baseline programmed cell-death-ligand-1 (PD-L1) combined positive score (CPS) and molecular subtypes. Following a median (IQR) of 39 (30-47) months, the 36-month event-free survival (EFS) rate and overall survival (OS) rate in the ITT group were 74.4% [95% CI, 67.8-81.7] and 83.8% [95% CI, 77.8-90.2, respectively]. RC was performed on 143 individuals or 92.3% of the total. Patients who had ypT0N0, ypT1/a/isN0, ypT2-4N0, and ypTanyN1-3 responses had a 36-month RFS of 96.3% (95% CI, 91.6-100), 74.9% (95% CI, 60.2-93), and 58.3% (95% CI, 36.2-94.1), respectively, among the group of patients who did not receive further treatment (N=125).
Results for event-free survival (EFS) were significantly different amongst the 3 PD-L1 tertiles (lower tertile: 59.7%, medium tertile: 76.7%, and high tertile: 89.8%, P=0.0013). The occurrence rates were the lowest in the claudin-low and basal/squamous subtypes. PURE-01 data further show the long-term efficacy of neoadjuvant pembrolizumab before RC, with a median follow-up of 3 years. The expression of PD-L1 was the most reliable indicator of long-term survival after RC.

Police said the rusticated student was the mastermind, who along with six others, had planned to damage the car of his economics teacher residing in Sector 43 but failed as a police Gypsy was patrolling the area.
Five juveniles, including a Class 10+2 rusticated student, were arrested on Monday along with two adults for smashing the windshields of 17 vehicles in the residential areas of sectors 37, 40 and 41 and stealing a few articles in the early hours of July 27, Friday. A juvenile brother, who is a school dropout, of the rusticated student, was also among those arrested. The three other juveniles are also students of government schools.
Police said the rusticated student was the mastermind, who along with six others, had planned to damage the car of his economics teacher residing in Sector 43 but failed as a police Gypsy was patrolling the area. The mastermind was rusticated from school 10 days back over a brawl. Police said his economics teacher had scolded him for being absent three days prior to his rustication and the boy was nursing a grudge against her.
The two others were identified as Mandeep Singh (21) and Yash Anand (18) of Buterla village in Sector 41. Three two-wheelers, including two white Activas and a motorcycle, were also recovered. While Mandeep is doing graduation from a private college in Mohali, Yash is pursuing Class 10+2 from an Open School and works as a salesman in a telecom company.
Inspector Rajdeep Singh, SHO of Sector 39 Police Station, said, "Five juveniles and two adults were drunk and when they saw a police Gypsy patrolling in Sector 43, they changed their direction and abandoned the plan. But one of the juveniles refused and insisted on going to Sector 37 near a government school. All the seven, riding three two-wheelers, entered Sector 37D, collected bricks lying near a government school and started smashing the windscreens of parked four-wheelers. From Sector 37, they went to Sector 40 and then Sector 41. The seven even stole a woman's purse and a bag containing some clothes. The stolen articles were recovered from their possession." Seven vehicles were damaged in Sector 40 while five each in sectors 37 and 41.
Sources also maintained that information about the involvement of the rusticated juvenile came to light when a rounded-up juvenile, who was also involved in the crime, disclosed the name of the rusticated student to the police. All the five juveniles were sent to Juvenile Home, Sector 25. Accused Mandeep and Yash will be produced in court on Tuesday. A case was registered at Sector 39 PS.

video games are good, except when they're not

Day #311: Luck is For Losers
I've been trying to grow an audience on YouTube for about six months now. As career goals go, it's not something I'd recommend. There's a lot of guesswork involved and you have to accept that you are arriving late to what is already a rather crowded party. To enter the world of "Gaming YouTube" is to also devote yourself to a genre that, while popular, isn't particularly respected. Even grocery haulers and makeup tutorializers thumb their nose at you.
But I've always seen that as an opportunity. The perception of the streamer or YouTuber is a rather basic (if not inaccurate) stereotype; typically a 20-something with a suspicious amount of energy that overreacts into a webcam. This person is also assumed to be more easily swayed by publishers due to their age and/or complete lack of a journalism background. The ethics question that so many seem determined to point at traditional media has yet to be turned on those video creators, at least, not in any significant regard.
Early on, I decided that I simply could not be like those others, fighting for that same space within that bubble, not knowing if and when it would burst. Misguided as it may be, I try to offer something different to an audience that may or may not even exist. I create YouTube gaming videos for people that hate most YouTube gaming videos. You may see how this could be a hard sell.
As you'd imagine, growing on YouTube is an arduous process that involves a lot of uncertainty. As such, there are also no shortage of "experts" online that are willing to tell you just how to get a leg up and ensure that you'll have a million subscribers in no time. Creating content for no one is one of the most discouraging experiences anyone could go through, so I'm not afraid to admit that I've spent many a night binge-watching videos from these same experts. A lot of their information is simple, yet practical advice about how the various aspects of the site work; how to add tags, create custom thumbnails, etc. But what I found the most attractive, naturally, were the videos with titles like "Zero to 100,000 Subscribers! Learn How!"
I'd estimate that I've probably watched a dozen or so different videos of that same ilk. They all tend to be fairly similar, empathizing consistency and quality of content with an occasional reference to Google Adwords and how you can exploit site algorithms to appear in search results. At first I simply nodded. After all, the guy telling me this has 300,000 subscribers. Surely he knows what he's doing, right? It's then that I noticed the person telling me this only ever created videos about how to be good at YouTube. That's when it all clicked for me. I knew the answer. If I wanted to get popular fast, I needed to put on a suit and tell hundreds of thousands of frustrated creators about the wonders of search engine optimization.
Needless to say, I stopped watching videos full of "tips" after that. The truth was something that I already knew – there are no shortcuts outside of simple dumb luck. Months later, for reasons I don't quite remember, I found myself watching a video by JackSepticEye titled "How to Become YouTube Famous". For those that don't know, Jack is one of the most popular gaming personalities on the site, with over 12 million subscribers. A video that he put up not even 3 hours ago has more views than my income for the past decade. I figured, if anyone knew the answers, it would be him.
For the record, I don't watch Jack's videos normally. His content just… isn't for me. He's a very excitable chap that talks very loudly and very quickly into a microphone. In this video, however, he was calm and lucid. He was "out of character". It became immediately clear to me why people liked him so much; why I had then decided in that moment that I liked him. He came off as humble and at times, even awkward; not comfortable with the idea that he was "famous" by any real definition. I found it easy to relate to him. You could tell that, at one point, he was in the same place, fighting for his hundredth subscriber, and was still grasping with his newfound position of influence.
The advice that followed was sound, if not exactly surprising. What was most interesting to me was when he offhandedly mentioned that he had once been shouted out by PewDiePie, the most popular creator on YouTube. The resulting endorsement then multiplied his subscriber count tenfold. There was a moment of immediate defensiveness when Jack brought this up, following it up by empathizing that it was not the cause of his success. He didn't get famous because he was lucky.
"Don't put down my work like that" he went on to say.
Clearly, someone had at some point. Even more clearly, it bothered him.
We're wired to see the concept of luck as an inherently negative thing. If you attribute anything to mere happenstance, it somehow invalidates the hard work you've put in. Truth is, a lot of successful people were simply born into it, or "knew the right person". That does not mean that they don't work hard to maintain that position, but the concept of pulling one up by their bootstraps and achieving without any assistance is somehow seen as the ultimate barometer of human value. If you happened to be at the right place at the right time, you deserve it less, somehow, ignoring that work ethic and persistence are often contributing factors to that opportunity presenting itself in the first place.
Luck is not some completely isolated force outside of our influence, though it's still chaotic enough that we can't bear the thought of attributing any credit to it. The opposite is true for any competitors in our field – an undeserving person lucking into a position or an untalented creator growing a fanbase. From our perspective, these things are common. Luck is a terrible thing that happens to everyone but us.
As a creator, this is a cancerous mentality that has the potential to destroy you. Most of us recognize this and maintain that outlook even when success eventually does come our way. 'It's different for me', we tell ourselves, 'I made it strictly because of my hard work'.
Why can't it be a combination of both? This is a question we don't ask ourselves as much, and I'm left to wonder how it would change the expectations of smaller content creators if those up high expressed that more often. Sure, many would likely continue to use that information to further justify their bitterness and jealousy, but what about that frustrated artist on the ground level that can't quite figure out what they're doing wrong? Would they continue to be frustrated if someone told them the answer was "nothing"?
I often think about what I would do if I was in Jack's position. "Just wait and hope to get lucky" isn't a valid answer, obviously, especially to a person struggling. As someone that still identifies as that frustrated creator, what is the advantage to letting me know how important luck can be? What would help me? What would I want someone to say to me, right now?
"Your lack of success is not due to a lack of effort. Your opportunity simply hasn't arrived yet. Be there when it does."

Q: ASP.NET Handler (ashx) vs MVC Controller Action for downloading files We have an application that uses webforms for some older web app pages, but also contains MVC functionality for some of the newer features.  We have some new requirements for downloading files that will have to be processed on the server (not direct links to static files on the web server).
I haven't seen anything to indicate if there is a reason one should use an ASHX handler over just using an MVC controller and operating on the response object and returning EmptyResult() at the end of the action method.
Is there a best-practice for this with MVC?  Should ASHX handlers be left for WebForms or is there some benefit they provide over using MVC for this type of file download feature?

A: Well, an ASHX can be a bit more contained and specific... however, there is something to be said about having all your code and logic in your main application.
There is no technical reason to do one over the other, to my knowledge with MVC nowadays.  With WebForms it was harder to stream large files, but with MVC you can do that pretty easily (so you don't have to load the whole file into memory first).  Also, given modern Async methods you don't have to worry so much about tying up worker threads and what not for scalability.
It's really up to you.  Even if you wanted to separate it into its own module, nowadays it might make more sense to make it an owin module rather than an ashx.  It's more about how you want to design your app.

A: The performance of HttpHandler is better since it is more bare-metal than MVC actions (just a few extra steps, but still).
Besides that, I see no reason why you should choose one over the other for performance reasons. MVC has some nice features you might want to use, like caching and authorization attributes.
If you choose to use MVC, use results that are specifically built for file handling, like FileStreamResult or FileContentResult.

John Wells, architect (b at Norwich, England c1790; d at Montréal 26 April 1864). Trained as a carpenter in the county of Norfolk, Wells became a Freeman in 1820.
John Wells, architect (b at Norwich, England c1790; d at Montréal 26 April 1864). Trained as a carpenter in the county of Norfolk, Wells became a Freeman in 1820. His career as an architect might have stemmed from his involvement in the completion of the façade for the Catholic church of St Mary Moorfields in London around that time. In 1823 and again in 1828 he displayed works at the Royal Academy. By 1824-25 he exhibited drawings of residences at the Norwich Society of Artists.
At the age of 40, for reasons unknown, Wells emigrated to Montréal where he worked as a building contractor and then established a successful architectural practice. Given the population boom of the 1830s which introduced thousands of British settlers into a region dominated by French Canadians, Wells catered to the demands of numerous groups. By adapting the latest Gothic, Egyptian, Grecian and Palladian building fashions, his eclectic range reflected the complex ethnic make-up of the city.
Almost immediately upon his arrival he acted as supervising architect for the Montréal prison. In 1832 he teamed up with another English architect, Francis Thompson (1808-1895). Though the partnership was short-lived they won the commission for St Ann's Market and later collaborated on a variety of other projects including St Paul's Presbyterian Church (1834). His involvement in several key organisations such as the Auxiliary Religious Tract Society provided him with considerable public exposure.
His excellent social skills further helped to win over the confidence of influential citizens who were to select him for key ecclesiastical commissions. In spite of his Baptist affiliation, Wells completed Shearith Israel synagogue (1835)-the first Jewish house of worship in British North America-and was responsible for the design of several Roman Catholic churches in rural parishes. He later worked for the Congregationalists, Anglicans and the Free Church of Scotland. In the early 1840s he took on his son, J.H. Wells.
Without question, John Wells's greatest accomplishment was the Bank of Montreal headquarters (1845), erected across from Notre Dame church in Place d'Armes. Inspired by drawings of the Commercial Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh, he produced a building which confirmed Montréal as the metropolis of Canada. In the next few years he worked on a variety of other public buildings.
Both versatile and pragmatic, Wells embraced an assortment of British and American styles to accommodate a diverse clientele. But due to the disappearance of a majority of his works, he has been overlooked as the arbiter of architectural taste in early Victorian Montréal.

I first started switching onto veganism in 2013. Unfortunately, I didn't really know that veganism was an option. I didn't know any vegans. Nobody had ever told me I could be one.
I already avoided meat because that's a no-brainer and I was growing increasingly intolerant of dairy so was experimenting with lactose free, goat and soy milks. But I was still completely oblivious to the violence inherent in the dairy and egg industries, and the use of unnecessary animal ingredients in a variety of common foods and products. I didn't realise how insanely unnatural consuming animal excretions was nor how terrible it was for my body.
To help you along the journey of uncovering what's really going on, here are the best resources that helped me over the past 3 years. I hope for you the "journey" is a lot quicker, and with some guidance you can arrive there straight away without the long detour I took.
There are a few variations of this speech on Youtube, so the version you watch may slightly differ from what others have seen. However, it's a fantastic look at the ridiculous double standards and selective compassion we have for certain animals, and our cognitive dissonance that disconnects us from the damage we cause by eating animal products.
Melanie Joy is a social psychologist that coined the term carnism (the invisible belief system, or ideology, that conditions people to eat certain animals). She talks about analysing why we choose to eat animals and becoming a more active agent in making our own decisions about whether it is moral or not, rather than just leaving ourselves subject to social conditioning. I strongly also recommend reading her book 'Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows.' This tears down your defences over why it's OK to treat a cow in a way you'd never dare treat a dog.
A vegan educational staple. Pack your tissues, and be prepared to look away from the most graphic scenes. But watch it. Educate yourself. Try to understand what the animals in our food system go through to make it to your plate. This is an important step in uncovering your compassion. You need to understand what's happening. You'll cry, but use that emotion to fortify yourself against carnist criticism. You're making the most compassionate and rational choice.
An important health documentary that highlights how animal products are not only unnecessary for human health, but the negative effects far outweigh any supposed benefits. If you don't yet know much about nutrition other than the (heavily debunked) food pyramid, this is a must-watch. Great to share with anybody in your family that is living with poor health.
This doco looks at the deeply ingrained corruption along all steps in the American food chain, and why our governments' nutritional guidelines are in contravention of basic human nutritional needs. The nutrition we're taught is commercial advertising, it's not scientific. It also explains how unnatural Western food production has become and talks about the impacts on our environment, health, economy and workers' rights.
There are plenty more resources out there such as Cowspiracy, but by the end of these 5 resources I was vegan. And since making the change I've cured my asthma, almost completely eliminated chronic fatigue syndrome, generated a more youthful complexion, kept my weight down, and have had fantastic iron and B12 levels. All the while increasing my junk food intake, because dairy free treats aren't as bad for you!
Every year vegans save around 185 animals lives. How many have you saved this year?

The City of Covington natural gas system is municipally owned and was purchased from the West Tennessee Gas Company in 1959. Management of the natural gas supply for the City of Covington operates within the guidelines of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). With FERC's Final Order 636, effective November 1, 1993, the natural gas industry became completely deregulated.
In 1999, the City of Covington joined together with other municipalities to form a purchasing group to secure natural gas supply. Currently, that group operates under The Tennergy Corporation, Jackson, TN. This purchasing arrangement enables small systems to gain buying power through larger volumes, thereby obtaining better prices in the deregulated market arena.
The City of Covington natural gas system serves between 3,000-4,000 customers; residential, commercial, and residential. Covington Gas acts as agent for gas supply under contractual agreements to industrial end users, or serves as transporter only.

Huge turnout by Joggers in Cambridge Half Marathon
The Saucony Cambridge Half Marathon survived the coronavirus scare on Sunday and started in bright, sunny, breezy weather on Midsummer Common, with a total of 11,251 participants. There were 64 Newmarket Joggers in the lineup.
Chris Gay was in top form and first Jogger home in 49th overall place, in a new PB time of 1:14:05, over a minute quicker than his PB time last year. He was also an impressive 9th of 989 in his MV35 age group. He was followed closely by Mark Hayward (1:15:58), in 69th position and 15th in the same age group; also a PB for Hayward by over a minute. James Smith (1:17:39) was 3rd Jogger home, finishing 98th overall and 11th of 925 in MV40. Smith had also run in the National Cross Country Inter-Counties Finals in Loughborough at 2:45 pm the day before, so some feat to perform at this level just 19 hours later.

For the women, Joanna Cole was in great form, finishing in 1:37:33, 156th of 4,859 female runners overall and 32nd of 721 in her FV35 age group. Not far behind came Hannah Parsons (1:40:22), 40th of 805 in FV40 in her first ever half marathon. Third female Jogger home was Ellie Bithell (1:46:43), 82nd of 805 in FV40, a PB for her by nearly 2 minutes.
Of particular note: The highest age grade of all our runners (83.50%) was earned by ace veteran Paul Holley, who was 4th home for the club and 165th overall in a time of 1:20:07, finishing 7th of 677 in his MV50 age category. He continues to represent Newmarket Joggers at the highest level.
Megan Beecroft enjoyed a tremendous first half marathon and came in 4th female Jogger at around 1:48. Unfortunately she lost her bib number + chip during the race and failed to get an official time…so annoying. Nor was she wearing a GPS device for an accurate estimated time or record of her run. Using GPS uploads on Strava Flyby, you can actually get the exact time of day you began and finished a race, within a few seconds, so very useful to know when chip times don't function and may be enough evidence for a race organiser to accept.

There were a number of other PB times achieved and many excellent first time half marathon performances from the Joggers, on a fast and well-designed course, passing through the iconic areas of the town centre as well as visiting Grantchester on the River Cam.

Also on Sunday, up near Rugby in Warwickshire, Henry Hamilton-Gould was in great form and took on the Draycote Water 20 mile race, achieving a PB of 2:28:18 and finishing 18th of 156 runners overall.

Phil Blundell was over in Frankfurt, Germany on Sunday for the Half Marathon event, where there were 6,367 runners taking part. He did well to finish in a new PB time of 1:38:38, 151st of 625 in his MV40 age group and 1,055th overall.
Elke Hausler was competing in the 3000m indoor race at the British Masters Athletics event at the Lee Valley Athletics Centre in Edmonton, London on Saturday. She put in a top performance to take Bronze medal in the W55 age group in a time of 12:03.38, which earned her 89.3% age grade. Elke was due to represent GB in the World Masters Championships in Braga, Portugal later this month but it has now been cancelled due to coronavirus.

Back to Sunday, it was the Inspire Thetford Trail Half Marathon in Thetford Forest, with 452 participants. Jamie Rule was first Jogger home in 1:41:04, finishing in 56th overall position. Then came Sarah Boneham (1:53:52), 5th of 35 in FV45 and Ruth Eberhardt (1:54:59), 8th in the same age group, both coping well with the difficult terrain. Sheena Runham (2:28:23) also put in a good effort.
The 5th of 6 fixtures of the Suffolk Winter Cross Country League took place on Sunday in the village of Woodton, near Bungay, organised by Bungay Black Dog RC. Newmarket Joggers (NJ) and Sudbury Joggers (SJ) were teamed up together in this League as usual, competing as club N&S. The venue was a new one and the course went nearly 5 miles around the fields of a working stock farm; quite muddy and somewhat bumpy in places but a fair challenge. The women's team comprised 3 NJs and 2 SJs and the men's team 6 NJs and 2 SJs. Official times and results have not been published yet, but the overall positions of our runners, out of a total field of about 240, were as follows:
Women: SJ Ruth Cowlin 161st, NJ Sianie Painter 180th, SJ Sheila Buck 220th, NJ Christine Windsor 229th, NJ Jenny Osbourn 232nd. Men: NJ Charles Jones 43rd, SJ Andy Buck 62nd, SJ Gary Godfrey 82nd, NJ Neville Clarke 92nd, NJ Brian Munns 112th, NJ Malcolm Osbourn 146th, NJ Jim Withers 195th, NJ Alan Thornhill 201st.

On Saturday, it was the Inter-Counties Cross Country Finals in Loughborough, where a total of 550 senior men and women were competing in the colours of 47 county teams from across the UK, as well as all the younger age groups. Two Newmarket Joggers, Neil Pollard and James Smith, were honoured to be chosen for the Suffolk County men's team, comprising 9 members of which the first 6 finishers were to count for points. Unfortunately, only 5 of the 9 chosen Suffolk team members were actually present on the day, which meant that they knew before the race that they could not qualify for a team result. This was the case for 16 other men's county teams, who were also lacking a 'quorum' of 6 athletes. Nevertheless, it was still an enviable opportunity to compete for Suffolk on an individual level against the best in the UK.
James Smith clocked 46:25 over the very muddy 10K course, where more than a few running shoes were lost in the boggy, sticky ground. He finished 2nd home for Suffolk and 217th of 293 overall, in a highly competitive field of top class runners; no fun runners here. Neil Pollard was sadly unable to finish due to feeling unwell. The winners of the men's team competition were North East Counties from Yorkshire and Sussex.


Sierra Leone's Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, His Excellency Ambassador Omrie Michael Golley, in separate engagements on Thursday 28th and Friday 29th December 2017 respectively, received and played host to the Ambassadors of Senegal and Nigeria, who called upon him at the Sierra Leone Mission in Seoul, the South Korean Capital.
Ambassador Golley received his Senegalese counterpart His Excellency Ambassador Mamadou Gueye Fayeo (right in photo) on Thursday 28 December 2017. Ambassador Faye expressed his delight in visiting his Sierra Leone counterpart and brother, and expressed warm sentiments of goodwill on behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Senegal to the Government and people of Sierra Leone.
Ambassador Faye, who prior to his recent appointment as Ambassador of Senegal to Korea, was Head of the Senegalese Gendarmarie, recounted the very close ties he witnessed then between the former and current Presidents of Senegal and Sierra Leone, and expressed his satisfaction at the warm fraternal relations between the two countries. The two Ambassadors also discussed important issues relating to the bilateral relationship, together with sub regional and regional developments within Africa.
Ambassador Golley warmly welcomed Ambassador Faye to the Sierra Leone Mission and expressed his appreciation for the visit which he said was firm evidence of the excellent ties between both countries.
On Friday 29th December, the Sierra Leone Ambassador received the newly appointed Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to Korea, His Excellency Ambassador Muhammad Dalhatu (seen on the right in photo above) in a courtesy call visit to the Sierra Leone Mission.
Ambassador Dalhatu recounted the very close relationship between the two countries spanning several decades, and expressed his wish that the fraternal relationship co existing between the two countries, would be replicated in Korea, in the personal relationship between himself and his Sierra Leone counterpart, and their respective Missions.
Ambassador Omrie Golley said that he was delighted and honoured to welcome the Nigerian Ambassador who he termed his elder brother, and also reflected on the excellent ties that have co-existed between the two countries, even before their attainment of independence in the 1960's.
Ambassador expressed his appreciation for the pivotal role that Nigeria continued to play within ECOWAS (the Economic Commission of West African States) as well as within the African Union, and singled out special praise and appreciation for the assistance Nigeria gave to Sierra Leone during trying moments in her national development culminating in the recent mudslide and flooding disaster which occurred in August 2017.
Both Meetings were attended by the Acting Head of Chancery at the Sierra Leone Mission in Korea, Mr. Steven Levey, as well as additional officials from the respective Missions in Seoul.

Demolition Could be Sign of Times for Kentile Floors
Scaffolding Has Gone Up Over the Brooklyn Sign, and a Permit Was Issued by the Buildings Department
Scaffolding covers the Kentile Floors sign in Brooklyn.
Keith Bedford for The Wall Street Journal
By Keith Williams
June 5, 2014 6:12 pm ET
In rapidly changing Brooklyn, the Kentile Floors sign has been a homage to the borough's bygone industrial era.
But it is possible the Gowanus area's most recognizable landmark will disappear, as well.
Scaffolding has gone up in front of the sign, and a permit was issued on April 17 to "remove existing structure and sign by hand," according to the Department of Buildings.
Renderings in the buildings department's file state that the "full demolition" of the sign is planned.
Calls to the owner of the building on which the sign stands, Regal Home Collections, as well as the engineer who approved the plans, Peter J. Stroh, weren't immediately returned.
If removed, the beloved beacon would become the latest in a recent string of iconic structures meeting their demise in Kings County. The neon sign for the long-defunct Eagle Clothes a few blocks northeast was dismantled last July, and the former Domino Sugar Factory on the Williamsburg waterfront is undergoing redevelopment.
The scaffolding and permit issuance were first reported by the blog New York Neon.
Looming high above the canal and dominating the northward view of commuters on the Gowanus Expressway and the elevated F and G trains, the sign has been the subject of several razing rumors since the factory below closed in the 1980s.
According to renderings accompanying the permit, the structure rises 88 feet above the roof.
The factory supporting the sign was built in 1949 to produce tiles of cork, rubber, vinyl and asphalt. The sign dates from the early 1950s, the flooring company's heyday.
The two-story building now houses numerous warehouses and light manufacturing firms, such as the Gowanus Print Lab.
Although it carries the name of a brand, for many, the sign represents more than just a relic of a single company.
In 2010, the Municipal Art Society of New York named the sign to its Census of Places that Matter, citing it "as a symbol of Gowanus' industrial heritage."
Eymund Diegel, a Gowanus mapmaker and historian, said in an email that the sign expresses the neighborhood's role as "the heartland of American ingenuity and industry."
"Sadly, when we lose our visual landmarks," he added, "we also lose sight of our history."
Councilman Brad Lander called the sign a "city treasure" and said he has written to the owner of the building "imploring him to reconsider removal of this important piece of Brooklyn's industrial landscape."
A spokeswoman for the Landmarks Preservation Commission said Thursday that although there are landmarked buildings with prominent signs in the city, there are no examples of landmarked signs situated on buildings that don't have landmark status.
By Thursday afternoon, about three-quarters of the scaffolding had been put in place. A half-dozen workers, dressed in bright yellow, toiled under the June sun, dwarfed by the immense structure.
George Del Barrio watched the scene from his desk at Gowanus Loft on Ninth Street, just west of the sign. "Having people up there shows you how big the letters are," he said.
In its halcyon days, the sign's red serif lettering glowed a neon purple. Mr. Del Barrio and two other artists used projectors to imitate this effect on an evening in early May, after the permit was issued but before knowledge of its existence became widespread.
Mr. Del Barrio cast the sign's impending disappearance through the ephemeral nature of that work, called Teleion Holon, Greek for "Perfect Universe." "I had my chance to do something beautiful with it," he said. "Now, we'll have to create a new identity."
He paused, reflecting on his forward view. "Ask me again when I have to look at empty sky all day," he said.


In this study, the author interviewed and observed six third generation Mexican American teachers in the South Texas borderlands region to examine their perceptions of the connections that they believed to be making with their first, second, third generation, and beyond Mexican American students. The author analyzed the participants' narratives using constant comparisons: (a) racialized experiences, (b) social advocacy, (c) language, (d) ethnic pride, (e) social economic challenges and class experiences, (f) age range, and (g) family roles. The seven constant comparisons allowed the researcher to systematically analyze the participants' contextualized stories. The participants' contextualized narratives were further analyzed using the critical race theory lens to document their experiences with class, gender, and race discrimination in the South Texas borderlands region. In addition, the six participants' stories and practices during their observations were analyzed to determine if they were being "conductors." The researcher also utilized Trueba's (1973) tenets: (a) examine the framework of cultural experiences of the Mexican American, (b) determine whether their experiences were polarized and reflected different philosophies of education, and (c) take into account the expectations of Mexican American educators and see programmatic developments from their point of view to further analyze the research findings. The author found that third generation Mexican American teachers in two South Texas borderlands region school districts were making culturally relevant connections with their students, and that translates into academic success.

Andalo (Àndel in local dialect) is a comune (municipality) in Trentino in north Italy, with some 1,200 inhabitants in 2021. It is the seat of the Comunità di Valle dell'Altopiano della Paganella.

Geography

The town lies on the Paganella plateau, between the mountains Piz Galin, elevation , and Paganella, , and its territory is part of the Adamello-Brenta natural park.

History
The area was first settled during the Middle Ages, and used to be divided into 13 hamlets called "masi" (Bortolon, Cadin, Casanova, Clamer, Dos, Fovo, Ghezzi, Melchiori, Monech, Pegorar, Perli, Pont and Toscana), which eventually merged into a single town. This fragmentation can still be noticed, especially in the most isolated masi (for instance, maso Pegorar).

During the second part of the 20th century the village became one of the most famous touristic resorts in Trentino, mainly due to its skiing facilities.

Economy
The local economy, once reliant exclusively on agriculture, is now almost completely centered on tourism (both during the summer and the winter, as opposed to some of the surrounding towns), mainly due to the town's position within the Dolomites.
As a result of tourism, Andalo is among the wealthiest towns in the province and in the country.
