The Innova-IRIS system is the result of a partnership between Bruker Nano Surfaces and Renishaw. It tightly integrates a high-stability AFM platform with a top-of-the-line Raman spectrometer, in both hardware and software, allowing chemical or crystallographic information to be correlated with AFM topography.
Thomas Müller from Bruker Nano Surfaces demonstrated the Innova-IRIS for us, including some new TERS (Tip-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy) data obtained using this AFM-Raman system.

CC South Racing celebrates its fifth anniversary by running three T1 cars in Spain
Baja Aragón Teruel
Tuesday, July 17th , 2018
SOUTH RACING CELEBRATES ITS FIFTH ANNIVERSARY BY
RUNNING THREE T1 CARS IN BAJA ARAGÓN TERUEL
· Alvarez, Gutierrez and Pórem to drive South Racing cars in Spain
TERUEL (SPAIN): South Racing will celebrate its fifth anniversary as a car preparations company by running two Volkswagen Amaroks and a Ford Ranger at this weekend's Baja Aragón Teruel, round seven of the FIA World Cup for Cross-Country Rallies.
The company, which is based out of Germany and has workshops in Portugal, will run a pair of four-wheel drive Volkswagen Amaroks for the Spanish driver Fernando Alvarez and his Argentinean navigator Juan Pablo Monasterolo and a second similar vehicle for Bolivian Rodrigo Gutierrez and co-driver Juan Rubi. Alvarez retains private support from Conarpesa.
Portugal's Ricardo Pórem won the 2017 Portuguese National Championship of Cross-Country Rallies (CNTT) and the 2017 Cross-Country Rally Iberian Trophy in a South Racing Ford Ranger and the talented driver returns to the team for the first time this season to drive a Ranger alongside new co-driver Nuño Rodrigues de Silva.
South Racing's managing director Scott Abraham said: "It's always nice to go back to Spain. The event has special memories for the team because it is our fifth year returning as South Racing. It was the first FIA event that we took part in as a team in 2013.
"Fernando has shown a strong pace in recent events and, other than the small mishap in Italy that put him down the leader board, a strong finish would have been possible. Rodrigo is always quick and will be looking, not only to score points for the FIA World Cup but also to score for the Spanish Championship.
"Ricardo is returning to the team for the first of the two races in his schedule. He will also take part in Baja Portalegre at the end of October. He always has a good speed and is one of the drivers out there with a lot of potential. We are looking forward to a good race."
The competitive action in the FIA event gets underway with a timed 13.46km super special stage, near Teruel, on Friday evening.
The bulk of the 521.42km of action takes place on revised stages on Saturday (July 21) and Sunday (July 22). There are two selective sections of 227.51km and 154.85km on Saturday and one of 125.60km on Sunday before the podium ceremony in Teruel later in the afternoon.

Q: SSRS Show Base64 String or Byte Array From URL as Image I have a wevservice that returns an image as a Base64 string, or as a byte array, that I need to show as an image in SSRS. Not sure how to do that.
I tried using an expression in the image properties:
=System.Convert.FromBase64String("http://localhost:5460/api/Report/GetImage")

but that does not work. How do I get the string or array from the URL, then display it as an image?
I have also tried a Code block, but when I try
Dim hwr As System.Net.HttpWebRequest
hwr = System.Net.WebRequest.Create("http://localhost:5460/api/Report/GetImage")

I get the error:
Severity    Code    Description Project File    Line    Suppression State
Warning     [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun 'Textbox2.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]' contains an error:
Insufficient permissions for setting the configuration property 'maximumErrorResponseLength'. (c:\program files (x86)\microsoft visual studio\2017\sql\common7\ide\commonextensions\microsoft\ssrs\PreviewProcessingService.exe.Config line 42)     C:\Users\Desktop\REP90011\REP90011.rdl  0

This is on my local machine, not on the SSRS server or through IIS. Just through the preview pane in VS 2017.

A: The problem was that I need to allow permissions in the file RSPreviewPolicy.config on my desktop to be 'FullTrust' instead of 'Nothing' in order to be able to use 'System.Net.WebRequest.Create'.
Edit:
I have been asked to expand on how my process works, so here it is:
I have a webservice that fetches an image and returns it as a base64 string.
Put an image object on the report, set it to 'Database', 'image/bmp', and use this expression as the field:
=Convert.FromBase64String(Code.GetImageString("http://localhost:5460/api/Report/GetImage")

The URL being the webservice that returns the string.
The function GetImageString is in the Code section of report properties:
Public Function GetImageString(Url As String) As String
   'create web request
   Dim hwr As System.Net.HttpWebRequest
   'this line is what I needed to change the permissions for
   hwr = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(Url)
   hwr .Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials
   'get response from request
   Dim wr As System.Net.WebResponse
   wr = hwr.GetResponse()
   'get stream from response
   Dim sr as System.IO.Stream
   sr = wr.GetResponseStream()
   'read response stream
   Dim read As IO.StreamReader
   read = new IO.StreamReader(sr, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8)
   'convert stream to string
   Dim result as string
   result = read.ReadToEnd
   return result.substring(1, result.length - 2) 'remove first and last characters, it's putting in quotes
 End Function

In VS 2017 this worked fine on my desktop. In VS 2019 it shows a red x on my desktop, but still works when deployed to the server.

Just finished reading Lisa Gansky's new book, The Mesh: Why the Future of Business is Sharing, a great book which explains a new and rapidly growing model of business that takes advantage social networking technology and growing desires to save money and help our planet.
Example. Blockbuster let thousands of people rent and watch the same DVD, making access more cost-effective than ownership. A mesh business. An even better example of a mesh business, though, is Netflix, who is taking over the movie rental biz because they've listened to people's frustrations (ie. returning those DVDs on time) and offered a more convenient way of accessing the entertainment we want. Very meshy.
Heirloom design and saving the planet.
Drawing inspiration from natural ecosystems, where there is no such thing as "waste", Gansky suggests that by incorporating mesh business models we can make more efficient use of our resources and create less waste. This involves sharing high-cost but relatively seldom-used items like vehicles or tools. For example, our cars spend 90% of their time sitting unused in the driveway or garage. Companies like WhipCar, DriveMyCar Rentals, SprideShare, in an "Own-to-Mesh" model, have provided a platform for car owners to rent their cars to people that need to use them. (Meanwhile, ZipCar has provided an alternative to car ownership altogether).
One of my favorite terms in the book, borrowed from Saul Griffith, is heirloom design, which is the idea of designing products that are built to endure for generations. The mesh business model flies in the face of the often-employed "disposable product" model, where products are built to expire, requiring customers to return to buy again. "Access over ownership" encourages a long-term relationship between business and customer (they don't just come back when the product dies), and lets the price of high-quality durable products be shared amongst several people, rather than being footed by one family. Being in Holland while reading caused me to notice the many ways in which Europe, partly by necessity due to limited geographical space, has for centuries embraced "heirloom design" in many products, from clothing to houses to kid's toys.
In true mesh fashion, Gansky has also created the "mesh directory" at meshing.it, a directory of businesses exercising the mesh business model. Check it out, learn and be inspired to incorporate mesh thought into your business or see the mesh opportunities knocking on your door.

Q: Need for using $and In MongoDB, I have this following code:
db.products.find({name: "Postcard", status: "Available"})

But isn't that the same as using $and? If not, what is the difference?
Another example...
Where the status equals "Available" and either qty is less than ($gt) 100 or name starts with the characters "Po":
db.products.find( {status:"Available", $or:[{qty:{$gt:100 }},{item:/^Po/}]})

So seems as if there is no need of using $and in these two examples. So why or when would $and be used?

A: In both your examples it is superfluous to use $and because using ',' to specify match conditions on several different fields accomplishes it just the same.
One instance when to use them is if you need to specify multiple conditions on the same field. Here is an example (straight from mongodb tutorial videos).
db.movieDetails.find({"$and": [{"metacritic": {"$ne": "null"}},
                                "metacritic": {"$exists": "true"}]})

The explanation provided was that the keys in a JSON document must be unique. So if the above query were to be specified without $and, only the last "metacritic" value would be apparently be used.
Mongodb documentation specifies another example listed with a similar explanation. Notice $or operator being specified twice.
db.inventory.find( {
    $and : [
        { $or : [ { price : 0.99 }, { price : 1.99 } ] },
        { $or : [ { sale : true }, { qty : { $lt : 20 } } ] }
    ]

Football Association's non-League restructure is a step in the right direction
Cambridge City, St Ives Town and St Neots Town bosses give their opinions on the Football Association's plans to restructure Step Three of the non-League pyramid
Andrew Georgeson
The Football Association are planning to restructure Step Three of the non-League Pyramid.
Managers from across the region have come out in favour of the FA's plan to restructure the non-League pyramid from the 2018 season.
The plans, swept through in principal in a meeting at the FA's headquarters earlier this month, will potentially affect Cambridgeshire's three highest ranking non-League teams – St Ives, St Neots, Cambridge City – and, barring a late season collapse, Royston Town, currently top of step four, for the 2018/19 season.
The governing body have decided that step three of the pyramid, which currently involves the Isthmian League and Evo-Stik Northern and Southern Premier Divisions, will see the addition of another league.
The leagues, currently comprising 24 teams, will be cut down to 22 and regionalised, although where the teams come from and the regions in question are yet to be decided.
The details surrounding things such as promotion and relegation are also yet to be announced.
Yet the regionalisation, which is intended to create a more natural progression through the leagues, is the main point which appeals to managers in the area, with travelling costs and the possibility of fewer long-distance midweek games being cited as key factors.
St Ives, for example, had to travel to Dorchester on a Tuesday night in December this season before visiting Weymouth on the Saturday. And long trips to places such as Merthyr Town could become a thing of the past.
St Neots manager Matt Clements, whose match against Slough Town was cancelled 10 minutes before kick-off on Tuesday night, said, in principal, he agreed with the proposals.
He said: "Regionalising would help massively when we have situations like we did on Tuesday with Slough, who would have left from Slough at about 4.30pm, travelling for the game to be called off at the last moment.
"It is what it is in terms of travelling, but a new structure could be a good thing.
"It could save costs, helping clubs subsidise themselves and hopefully stop teams having to drop out of the league.
"Going 45 minutes is obviously better than the four hours to Merthyr. Small things can help the game at this level and, in principal, anything to help is great for us."
Although there would be two less games in the season, meaning less revenue from tickets, food and programmes, an increased focus on local games could potentially attract bigger crowds.
St Ives boss Ricky Marheineke said: "It's going to be much better on teams in terms of travelling. In terms of reducing fixtures, I wouldn't really mind.
"We have to play 46 games this season which is tough and you need a big squad.
"Less games might affect the revenue, but on the plus side you'll have more local matches and with that, hopefully, bigger crowds."
Cambridge City manager Robbie Nightingale agreed that the chance to play more local rivals made the plans a "no brainer".
He said: "If it gets more people to watch and have a few more competitive, local derbies and perhaps throw up a few teams you hadn't faced, on the whole it would be a great thing and no brainer, to be honest."
Clements also said regionalisation would make clubs a more attractive proposition to players who are already travelling long distances to even get to their clubs in the first place.
Clubs and officials will now be consulted to discuss how the rejig will take place.
While also agreeing with the changes, which will affect step three to seven, Marheineke did add that he would have to wait to see the final plans, particularly over promotion and relegation next season, while the new leagues were being created.
He said: "We'll have to wait to see how promotion and relegation will work, especially next season.
"If you know you're not going to get relegated at the end of the season, for example, teams might not spend that much on their squad and try to mount a more serious challenge the following season."

Corazon Aquino was the first woman president of the Philippines between 1986 and 1992.
Aquino is best remembered for leading the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution, which toppled the authoritarian regime of President Marcos and restored democracy in the Philippines.
Aquino was married to Senator Benigno Aquino, Jr., the popular opposition leader who was assassinated in 1983 upon returning to the Philippines after his exile in the United States. After her husband's assassination, the widowed Aquino became the leader of the opposition against the authoritarian rule of the Marcos regime.


Marriage is more than just two people who fell in love; it is a legal and binding contract. Divorce is the dissolution of that legal contract. While getting married may have been easy, if you decide to end your marriage, it can be overwhelming. Choosing the right attorney and legal path for your divorce is imperative to obtaining a successful outcome. We firmly stand by the divorce process being a marathon rather than a sprint. Once a couple has reached the point of filing for divorce, they are usually anxious for the divorce process to be finished as soon as possible. Although a quick resolution may appear to be desirable at the time of divorce, sometimes, people come to realize after the divorce that their settlement regarding their property and children is not as desirable as they once thought. We work hard to make sure all aspects of your divorce are evaluated, as we know any divorce settlement will impact your life now and for many years to come. Cutting corners in the divorce process is not an option when preparing to start a successful new chapter in your life after the divorce.
At The Lincoln Law firm we favor alternative dispute resolution methods in divorce. This includes mediation and the use of negotiation tools that avoid the court room and traditional litigation. There are situations where attending court is inevitable. Our first priority is to follow the path that is in your best interest to achieve a realistic outcome. Each divorce is different, and no two cases follow the exact same path. Divorce does not always go as planned, and while we do our best to avoid them, we are prepared for any bumps in the road along the way.


Have you asked yourself about what kind of life exists outside the earth? Aliens are still a question to humanity.

What will you do if you get captured by these creatures? Find out how Jean and her friends escape the abduction.
A group of teenagers were out on a camping trip. They spend the night drinking and hanging out when a light appears overhead. While they do their activities, the aliens attack and capture them. Jean and her friends wake up in a cell on the ship. Eventually, they are placed in a room, tied down and vivisected. After the encounter, Jean awakened in a hospital, a special facility for UFO abductees. Dr. Booker told her that she has to remain there until the government is certain that she can get her normal life back.

Dream Theater ready to release new music
They've been dropping hints via video and interviews for months, now keyboardist Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater has added more intrigue to the mix: "This is gonna be such an amazing record. It's got so much energy. [I'm] very happy with all the keyboard parts. Listening back, all you can do is smile."
Rudess announced that the progressive metal giants have finished recording all the parts for their follow-up to 2016's 'The Astonishing' album, and that they're looking at early 2019 for a release.
Earlier this year, vocalist James LaBrie said the new material had "a heaviness and an aggression to it," while guitarist John Petrucci said, "The music is progressive, melodic, shredding and it's also epic…the pillars of Dream Theater."
The new album, Dream Theater's 14th, will be the band's first for Sony Music's progressive imprint InsideOut Music.

Cinderella turns down offer to go to the ball with Amazon Publishing
February 16, 2022 August 11, 2013 by Roger Packer
A self-published author has turned down an offer from Amazon Publishing to take over her latest best-selling book and has revealed the advance offered was less than she made from the book's first month of sales.
Me, Cinderella? by Aubrey Rose was self-published in June for the Kindle and Nook formats and has sold very well. It's also available in paperback through Amazon's Createspace.
Rose says Amazon's Montlake Publishing romantic fiction imprint offered her $5,000 and 35% royalties but the $5k advance was less than she earned in the first month of self-publishing the book.
As well as the low advance, Rose was also concerned about having to withdraw the book from outlets other than Amazon and losing control over her book covers and promotional pricing.
Me, Cinderella? is Rose's first full-length novel but she's a prolific writer who has also published the successful Big Girl Rockstar Romance series of short stories/novellas.
At its present digital list price of $4.63 on Amazon.com, Me, Cinderella? would be earning Rose 70% royalties of around $3.22 per sale, double the Amazon royalty offer.
On her blog, Rose says: "Naturally, I was thrilled. A real publisher wanted my work! I chatted with her briefly on the phone and asked her a ton of questions: What kind of cover would they create for me? What promotions would they do? What control would I have over everything? Although I was excited to work with Amazon, I wanted to know that they would treat my book right. She told me my novel was a great read and very clean writing, and that she would love to 'partner' with me in relaunching my book through Amazon's imprint.
"However, she couldn't guarantee anything – from cover image to pricing to marketing. The advance they offered was less than I had made in my first month of sales. And I would have to pull my book from every publisher except Amazon.
"It was hard for me to say no. Ever since I was a little girl I'd dreamed about being a 'published author'. However, I needed to make the best decision for my book and for my fans. The praise that really matters comes from my readers who are the ones who'll make or break my books and I want to make sure I'm always doing the right thing by them. If I mess up, I want it to be something I can fix. I'm a control freak like that.
"So sorry, Amazon. It's not you, it's me."
In a later post, Rose goes further into the reasons for her decision: "Pricing was a major issue – I couldn't do a ton of promotional stuff I had planned if I couldn't control pricing, and Amazon gives no say in how they price their work. This deal was Kindle-only, so I wouldn't be getting the benefits of paperback publishing, which to me is one of the greater advantages of a traditional publishing deal."

Reclaimed Lumber and Salvage in Jacksonville, FL
Reclaimed lumber and salvage are perfect building materials for projects like cabinetry, flooring, furniture, architectural details, and more.
Home Architectural Salvage Reclaimed Lumber and Salvage in Jacksonville, FL
By David Podris Architectural Salvage Eco Relics Blog Reclaimed Building Materials Reclaimed Lumber Salvaged Flooring November 30, 2016
Reclaimed Lumber and Salvage
*This page has been updated from it's original publication on April 29, 2016
Reclaimed lumber and salvage are perfect building materials for projects like cabinetry, flooring, furniture, architectural details, and more. From seed to sawdust, every tree product can be reused, recycled, or repurposed. Old wood welcomes the eye with warmth, draws the mind's attention with detail, and captivates the soul with history and mystery. It is authentic, and so are the people that use it.
Reclaimed lumber and architectural salvage is the antithesis of the sterile, throw-away culture promoted by big box stores. The very nature of salvage ensures that each rescued timber is one-of-a-kind, with its own unique properties, its own story to tell, its own life to live.
Heart Pine
Longleaf pine is a common species of reclaimed wood. The warehouses and factories of America's Industrial Revolution were most often constructed of old-growth heart pine timbers. The slow-growing trees were tall and straight and dense enough to repel insects and mold. Many of Jacksonville's older buildings are constructed of heart pine.
Today's heart pine hardly compares. It is harvested from much younger post-industrial era trees whose growth has suffered from air pollution. Today's heart pine also contains much less heart material than is typically found in reclaimed heart pine. Fresh cut pine is also much less stable than reclaimed pine, as it has not yet experienced cycles of humidity change. Old wood is stable, but a new piece of pine is liable to twist and turn severely before it settles into a stable shape.
Old growth heart pine is available at the Eco Relics architectural salvage warehouse, from beam-sized timbers to cut-offs (yes, we save those, too!), and everything in between. Our pine is locally sourced in and around Jacksonville, often from renovations of landmark buildings, and always discount priced to sell.
Barn Wood
Barns are another common source for reclaimed lumber. Often constructed from the closest suitable trees, a single old barn can contain many species of wood, including oak, pine, hickory, poplar, and chestnut.
Chestnut is a particularly rare sight these days, following the Chestnut blight beginning in 1904. Pre-blight chestnut is identified by a lack of worm tracks inside the wood.
Northeast Florida isn't exactly barn country, but we do our best to keep a variety of barn wood on the shelf at the Eco Relics architectural salvage warehouse. From barn doors to beams and siding, our deconstruction team delivers century-old barn wood and many other kinds of reclaimed lumber and salvage timbers to our warehouse at 106 Stockton Street, Jacksonville, Florida, 32204. It is open to the public and home to the city's most dedicated wood preservationists. Help us keep dead wood alive!

The Problem With Landfills Jacksonville, FL
An underground landfill fire in St. Louis has been burning for nearly four years, releasing toxic concentrations of benzene and hydrogen sulfide.

Antique Metal Signs Jacksonville, FL
A Very Short History of Signage Merchants and tradespeople have used signs to advertise their services for at least 5,000 years.

Woodworking Projects with Reclaimed or Salvaged Lumber Jacksonville, FL
Woodworking with reclaimed and salvaged lumber is a great way to lend some authentic Americana to a DIY project. "Weathered" is not a look that is easily faked. When done wrong, it just looks terrible. On the other hand, genuine patina not only adds aesthetic value to a piece, it can also provide a protective covering to material that might otherwise…

Manastri Villayet
The Vilayet of Manastir[3] (Ottoman Turkish: ولايت مناستر, Vilâyet-i Manastır)[4] was a first-level administrative division (vilayet) of the Ottoman Empire, created in 1874, dissolved in 1877 and re-established in 1879.[5] The vilayet was occupied during theFirst Balkan War in 1912 and divided between the Kingdom of Greece and the Kingdom of Serbia,[5] with some parts later becoming part of the newly established Principality of Albania.
Initially the Manastir Vilayet had the following sanjaks:[6]
Sanjak of Manastir
Sanjak of Üsküb
Sanjak of Scutari
After administrative reforms in 1867 and 1877 some parts of the Manastir Vilayet were ceded to newly established Scutari Vilayet (1867) and Kosovo Vilayet (1877).
Administrative divisions of Manastir Vilayet until 1912:[7]
Sanjak of Manastir: Kazas of Manastir (Bitola), Pirlepe (Prilep), Florina, Kıraçova (Kičevo) and Ohrid.
Sanjak of Serfiğe (Between 1864-1867 and 1873–1892): Kazas of Serfiçe (modern Servia), Kozana (modern Kozani), Alasonya (modern Elasson), Kayalar (Ptolemaida), Nasliç (modern Neapolis, Kozani) and Grebne (modern Grevena).
Sanjak of Dibra: Kazas of Debre-i Bala (Debar), Mat, Debre-i Zir (Its center was Piskopoya), Rakalar (region around river Radika (its local name is River region (Macedonian: Река).
Sanjak of Elbasan (İlbasan): Kazas of İlbasan, Grameç and Peklin.
Sanjak of Görice: Kazas of Görice (Korçë), İstarova (Pogradec), Kolonya (Erseke) (Its center was Ersek) and Kesriye (Kastoria).

Home Los Angeles Lakers Lakers News: Talen Horton-Tucker Discusses Confidence Needed To Take Final Shot
Lakers News: Talen Horton-Tucker Discusses Confidence Needed To Take Final Shot
Mandatory Credit: Jayne Kamin-Oncea-USA TODAY Sports
Lakers Rumors: Jason Kidd Among Candidate To Replace Trail Blazers Head Coach Terry Stotts
It became clear early on this season that Los Angeles Lakers head coach Frank Vogel would have to find minutes for second-year guard Talen Horton-Tucker. The talented Iowa State product has endured his growing pains this season but has the support of his team and the coaches.
One thing that is extremely apparent about Horton-Tucker is that he is always in attack mode and will stop at nothing to get to the basket. His ability to create his own shot is something that many other Lakers simply don't have, but one thing Horton-Tucker always tries to have when he is on the court is that aggression.
"I try to step on the court and whenever I come on, from start to finish, I try to play with the same aggressiveness and confidence," Horton-Tucker said following the Lakers' 93-89 victory over the Denver Nuggets. "Just being able to have that I feel like can take me a long way so just being aggressive is the most important thing whenever I'm out there on the court."
Playing tentative is simply not in Horton-Tucker's game and would likely have him perched on the end of the Lakers' bench. Against Denver, Horton-Tucker had another solid outing with 10 points and three rebounds, but all most could talk about was his final basket in the waning seconds of the game.
With the Lakers up just two points and the shot clock winding down, Horton-Tucker drove the lane but found himself in no-mans land so he flipped up an awkward shot that missed badly. But he didn't give up on the play and thanks to Marc Gasol battling Nikola Jokic, the ball bounced back to Horton-Tucker, who quickly finished a layup to basically ice the game for L.A.
Horton-Tucker was honest in his assessment of that final play, but also noted how new he is to that situation in the NBA. "I feel like the shot I took, I pretty much kind of ran out of options and I just tried to get something on the backboard," he added. "So it was just I feel like instinct almost. So just to be in that position was kind of crazy, it was my first time really being in at the end of the game. So I feel like I look at everything as a learning experience so that's gonna be another one for me."
This is the perfect way for Horton-Tucker to look at these things as he still has so much room to grow in this game. It's also why his teammates embrace him so much and he appreciates that. It was extremely apparent after the play as well as Anthony Davis could be seen giving him a playful smack on the head.
"It's great just because of the fact that they know I be really hard on myself so with him just telling me to keep going, next play is always gonna be good," Horton-Tucker said of that exchange.
Horton-Tucker is becoming one of the brightest young players in the NBA and his desire to improve has endeared him to his teammates. His continued growth gives the Lakers something to look forward to both in the near and distant future.
Matthews praises Lakers' heart, emphasizes need to keep it going
The Lakers had to dig deep in order to get their win over the Nuggets and a team effort allowed them to do just that. Players such as Horton-Tucker, Marc Gasol, and Wesley Matthews all played big roles and Matthews loved the heart that the team showed.
"Just the heart, the togetherness. Being able to hold each other accountable and to be able to do that, you got to hold yourself accountable and put your foot in the ground. Put your feet in the ground, feet in the sand, whatever the phrase is that you want to say or want to use and put it into it. And that's what we were able to do."
But Matthews also made it clear that the Lakers can't afford to rest now. "Obviously it's one win, it's a big win, but we need more. We're not just gonna be like 'OK, we beat the Denver Nuggets.' What about the last six games? We got to continue to build on what we did, enjoy this one and get back to scrapping and fighting again."

From now on, topics regarding items for sale (ie. distro list, personal list, eBay links, etc.) will be deleted without notice - we will no longer be moving them. Users who will keep posting in the wrong section will eventually receive warnings.
Of course, if you're doing both (ie. trading & selling), then yes, you're allowed to post here as well, as long as it is clear that you also accept trades and that your activity here clearly shows that you trade once in a while. This means that someone with a list of common distro stuff who will only accept trades for rare discs (Sororicide and most old-school death metal releases for example) will be considered either a seller or an idiot and will have his posts removed from here as well.
Furthermore, users are only allowed one active topic. Some of you have already been asked by PM to merge their own topics, but we'll eventually issue official warnings to offenders. There is no reason to have a topic for your trade list, and one for your want list. Both can easily be in the same post. You have a special item for sale? Simply change the subject line and first post of your own active topic to attract viewers to it. There again, users using multiple topics may see some of their posts either deleted or merged without notice.
ONLY ONE TOPIC PER USER!
Is this strict? Perhaps. Is it different from other boards? Not really. Some will forbid eBay links (we allow them in Selling & Buying), most limit users to one active topic anyway, so we don't think those rules are too harsh. It just makes it easier for users to find what they're looking for without having to go through an avalanche of irrelevant posts.

Can we make the ONLY ONE TOPIC PER USER! text in the title red + bold?
Forum for swapping/exchanging music-related wares with other metalheads.
This bump-delete-bump stuff has to stop.
If you make a post then delete your comment or start a new thread but delete it before any comments are posted I might just ban you.
So to sum up: bump-delete-bump = possible ban, I might lock you up till you explain to me why I shouldn't.


A landlord must pay almost £1,000 after leaving his tenant without heating last winter.
Vivender Nath Blaggan, 47, of Stockton, allegedly left a rental property in the town with a faulty boiler for three months during the coldest part of the year.
A couple has been jailed for carrying out a seven-year fraud, using money to buy properties and finance mortgage repayments.
Nicole Mwamba, 48 was sentenced to 30 months in prison and William Kapuya, 47, was sentenced to 14 months. The couple were sentenced yesterday at Croydon Crown Court of 18 offences relating to the fraud, which took place between 2004 and 2011.
The Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) system has serious flaws causing "considerable distress and anxiety" and requires "fundamental redesign", the Work and Pensions Committee said in a report published today.
Simply "rebranding" the Work Capability Assessment (or WCA) used to determine eligibility for ESA by appointing a new contractor will not solve the problems, it said.
Another local authority has set out its proposals to introduce selective landlord licensing, with hefty £20,000 fines for those who do not fall into line.
Doncaster council is now consulting on the proposals for licensing in the Hexthorpe area because of alleged tenancy management and anti-social behaviour problems.
An agent who claimed nearly £4,900 in housing benefit despite renting out a house she co-owned has been given a 12 month community order and ordered to pay a total of £3,258 in costs and a victim surcharge.
Toni Wenlock from Rugby denies dishonestly making a statement to Rugby council in order to claim £4,830 in housing benefit; she also denies failing to tell the council of a change in her circumstances.

UN fails to extend aid deliveries to Syrian rebel-held area
Felipe Dana
Women walk in a neighborhood heavily damaged by airstrikes in Idlib, Syria, on March 12, 2020.
UNITED NATIONS — The U.N. Security Council failed in two rival votes Friday to extend humanitarian aid deliveries from Turkey to 4.1 million Syrians in the rebel-held northwest, with the U.S. ambassador warning that "people will die because of this vote."
After days of consultations, the U.N.'s most powerful body remained divided over the key issue of the length of an extension.
Almost all council members favored a year-long extension, which the U.N. secretary-general and more than 30 non-governmental organization insist is the minimum time frame needed, but Russia demanded a six-month renewal, with a new resolution required for another six months.
The failure of the U.N.'s most powerful body to agree on an extension came two days before Sunday's expiration of the council's current one-year mandate for deliveries through the Bab al-Hawa border crossing from Turkey to northwest Idlib.
Ambassadors say they will keep trying to reach an agreement to continue aid
Many ambassadors, including those from Ireland, Norway, the United States, France and China, said after the two votes that they will continue trying to get an agreement among the 15 council members so that aid is not stopped.
Soon after the two votes and speeches, council members went into closed consultations and discussions were expected to continue over the weekend.
Russia's deputy ambassador Dmitry Polyansky told reporters there was "99% agreement" on a resolution and Russia wouldn't support a nine-month extension, suggested by Brazil and the United Arab Emirates.
Unless council members decide to go with the Russian six-month proposal, Polyansky said, he sees no possibility for an agreement. Asked whether that meant that Russia would veto any proposed resolution that didn't follow its draft with a six-month timeline, he replied "Obviously."
The first vote was on the resolution for a one-year extension drafted by Norway and Ireland. It was supported by 13 countries, with China abstaining and Russia using its veto to defeat the measure.
Council members then voted on the rival Russian resolution for a six-month extension. The vote was just 2 countries in favor, 3 against and 10 abstentions.
China was the only country to join its ally Russia in supporting the resolution while the three other veto-wielding permanent council members — the United States, Britain and France — voted against it. But their vetoes were not needed because the resolution failed to get the minimum nine "yes" votes required for approval.
Calling it "a dark, dark day in the Security Council," U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield told members after the vote that the impact on Syrians in the northwest will be "swift and dire."
"I have long said this is a life-and-death issue," she said, blaming Russia's veto for the deaths that are likely to come.
Thomas-Greenfield, who visited Bab al-Hawa in June, said aid workers told her that a six-month renewal would be "a disaster" for their supply lines and "would mean lifesaving assistance would shut off in the dead of winter when needs are at their highest, which would be a nightmare scenario for a region where millions of people are still displaced."
Aid groups say failure to act will harm millions
International aid groups urged the Security Council to reach an agreement before the July 10 deadline warning that the Russian veto will harm millions of people in urgent need of assistance.
International Rescue Committee President David Miliband said there is currently no viable alternative to cross-border assistance, which means "this already extreme crisis is set to move to a humanitarian catastrophe."
Tamer Kirolos, Syria Response Director at Save the Children, warned that failing to reauthorize the Bab al-Hawa crossing "risks the lives of hundreds of thousands of children" in camps who won't know where their next meal is coming from.
Mercy Corps' CEO Tjada D'Oyen McKenna said people in northwest Syria are witnessing one of the most dire periods of the 11-year conflict, pointing also to worsening drought, economic crisis, and the war in Ukraine's impact on food and fuel prices. Stopping aid from Turkey means the future of the 4 million people in the northwest who relied on those deliveries to provide food and other necessities for their families "is now even more uncertain," she said.
Syrian military analyst Ahmad Rahhal, a former brigadier general who defected during the conflict and joined the opposition, tweeted that "Russia's crimes" are not only through its military and support of President Bashar Assad's government but now "have reached the level of depriving children, women and elderly in north Syria or food."
Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador, vowed to honor her promise to aid workers and refugees that "I would do everything in my power to renew this resolution."
In case the Security Council doesn't act, Thomas-Greenfield said aid groups told her they had pre-positioned about three months of supplies, and hopefully more supplies by now.
She stressed that if a U.N. resolution isn't adopted and U.N. monitoring of aid deliveries ends, "the border is not closing," and "we will continue to work with the humanitarian community to find ways to continue to provide humanitarian assistance directly to the Syrian people."
The U.N. said last week that the first 10 years of the Syrian conflict, which started in 2011, killed more than 300,000 civilians — the highest official estimate of civilian casualties. Northwest Idlib is the last rebel-held bastion in Syria and a region where an al-Qaida-linked militant group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, is the strongest.
Russia, a close ally of Syria's government, has repeatedly called for stepped up humanitarian aid deliveries to the northwest from within Syria, across conflict lines. This would give Syrian President Bashar Assad's government more control.
In early July 2020, China and Russia vetoed a U.N. resolution that would have maintained two border crossing points from Turkey for humanitarian aid to Idlib. Days later, the council authorized the delivery of aid through just one of those crossings, Bab al-Hawa.
In a compromise with Russia, that one-year mandate was extended on July 9, 2021, for six months, with an additional six months subject to a "substantive report" from U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. This was effectively a year-long mandate because a second resolution wasn't needed.
U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric called cross-border aid critical for men, women and children in the northwest and stressed the importance of long-term planning, including to costs.
"In 2021, we had 800 trucks of cross-border aid go through each month, consistently reaching about 2.4 million people," he told reporters Thursday. He said 4,648 trucks crossed in the first six months of this year.
The U.N. also carried out five deliveries across conflict lines last year and so far this year with about 2,529 metric tons of assistance including foods and health supplies, he said.


The chicken is able to do this because of its vistibulo-ocular reflex. This is actually a reflex built into most creatures. In people it stabilizes eye movements as we bounce up and down while walking or running, so that we can still see clearly and we don't get dizzy. While a search of resources on the internet doesn't explain why a chicken has this special head stability, my theory is that the ability to fly requires even better control of sight and dizziness prevention.
Turns out this isn't the first time that scientists have been inspired by this avian ability. Decades ago, NASA scientists studied owls as part of their efforts to help humans weather space travel. The owl's vistublosensory system is much larger than a human's with richer neural connections, so when its body is moved around in space it won't get dizzy and throw up, unlike some of our astronauts. Here's 45 seconds of some of NASA's research with owls, and they even blindfold the owl and still it holds its head steady!
Mercedes Benz engineers' version of this system for their cars uses two stereo cameras to scan the road surface up to fifteen meters ahead of the vehicle. The cameras send information on what they see to the suspension system which uses magnetic dampers to adjust to bumps and absorb potholes. They say you "glide over the road surface as if you were on a magic carpet." I wonder if it would help our web master, Leah, who gets car sick at the drop of a hat?
I doubt that I'll ever be able to afford a Mecerdes, and if I could I'd probably spend the money elsewhere. But there is something I might try out with one of the chickens in my coop. By strapping a video camera to a chicken's head, you can get the smoothest video possible, provided of course that the chicken is looking at what you want to video! Here's a demonstration of a chicken steady cam from which I learned that I might want safety glasses to protect my eyes from rooster spurs, and that one of the hazards is that the chicken might poop on my kitchen counter.
How will you use this? Well, next time someone tells you that we have Tang and Velcro because of the space program, you can say, "Yeah, but we couldn't have gone to the moon without the help of chickens and their vestibulo-sensory reflex!" Now there's a great line for a cocktail party!

The microbiology of zombies, part V: beware the bite?
By tsmith on November 21, 2013.
Now that seemingly the flu outbreak storyline has been wrapped up on The Walking Dead (unsurprisingly, but disappointingly, with their ineffective treatments proving to be miracle cures), there's still one more zombie microbiology topic I'd like to cover: what's up with the bite, and is it the cause of death? I said previously:
"We know the pathogen can certainly be spread by bites and then cause zombification that way..."
but one commenter disagreed, noting:
"I don't think we have evidence for that from the show. I think it clearer that zombie bites cause death, and there doesn't seem to be evidence that the agent that causes death also causes zombieism (or vice versa). In Walking dead, any death is a sufficient condition for becoming a zombie. I would guess that zombies cause death because of a massive polymicrobial infection/sepsis."
So, could death be due to massive sepsis (an overwhelming immune response to infection, which can lead to organ failure and death) via the bite, rather than the introduction of a specific zombie pathogen? It's certainly not the first time I've seen that argument. Even the Zombie Research Society has put that forth as a hypothesis (and Matt Mogk has written of it in his book as well). However, I don't buy it for a few reasons.
First and foremost, human bites simply aren't that deadly. Even in a study of patients presenting to emergency rooms (which are probably the most serious of bites), none were found to have sepsis. Well, you might say, maybe more would have had this if antibiotics weren't available, which would be the case with TWD (well, except now they have them, but I digress…) A Medscape article addresses this, noting that prior to the antibiotic era, up to 20% of bites caused amputation of a finger--but still, a local nasty infection, not necessarily sepsis. Even in a 1936 NEJM paper studying bites, only 2 deaths are noted, and both are in "delayed cases"--individuals who waited 5 days post-bite to present to the hospital. In these cases, the cause of death is indeed listed as "extensive sepsis."
However, it should be noted that hand bites in particular—the subjects of those papers and articles above-- seem to be rather nasty. Per Medscape again, "... most human bite injuries occur on the hands, and hand wounds from any cause have higher infection rates than do similar wounds in other anatomic locations." So, these papers focus on the worst types of bites (hand injuries) at the most severe locations (presenting to emergency rooms), and thus should be considered likely a worst-case scenario for our potential infectees: that, even if bitten, a minority of them would have serious complications, and a minority of those might perish of sepsis. This doesn't match up with what we see in the show.
You might argue that the process of zombification would modify/increase the nasty bugs living in the mouth. I agree--rotting in this manner certainly could alter the presence and types of organisms that would be present in the mouth, and therefore possibly make them more deadly and more likely to result in a sepsis death of the bitten. However, even accounting for rapid reproduction rates for microbes (mostly bacterial when you're talking about sepsis and oral germs), this doesn't seem to be a satisfactory answer, as one can quickly die and be reanimated and immediately have the potential for a deadly bite. It could also be argued then that therefore *everyone*, living or dead, would also possess this quality in that case--it shouldn't matter if the bite is from a zombie or from a living person; the result should be the same (sepsis and zombification).
Further, in the human bite literature, there are two types of bites typically described: occlusive bites and clenched-fist injuries. The former is probably what you think of when you think zombie bites: mouth open, teeth coming together on the skin, chomp, chomp, chomp. Clenched-fist injuries are what happens when someone strikes another person's teeth with, as the name suggests, their clenched fist, often scraping the knuckles: basically, a punch that strikes the teeth/mouth. While on the Walking Dead the former universally mean death (except in the case of really quick amputation of the bitten part, like we saw with Hershel's leg), we've seen many examples of the latter—how many fistfights has Rick alone gotten into now? Not to mention, scenes like this:
So if one is going to support the "polymicrobial infection as a result of bites" scenario for zombification, the issues of living biters need to be explained away as well.
Others have argued along similar lines regarding bites and sepsis, suggesting that the zombie bite is analogous to what happens to the prey of the Komodo dragon:
"Animals that escape the jaws of a Komodo will only feel lucky briefly. Dragon saliva teems with over 50 strains of bacteria, and within 24 hours, the stricken creature usually dies of blood poisoning. Dragons calmly follow an escapee for miles as the bacteria takes effect, using their keen sense of smell to hone in on the corpse."
The problem with that analogy is that it's based on a myth. That's not what really happens: the dragon actually has venom, as I noted way back in 2005 (and Ed Yong updated recently, both based on the work of Bryan Greig Fry). It's not their bacteria that kill their prey, but their venom. Do zombies suddenly become venomous? Doubtful. So, another idea shot down.
To me, the most convincing scenario, and the one that seems to jibe with both the idea that everyone is infected and with the little we know about the epidemiology of the outbreak, is that the immune system keeps the "zombie virus" under control while one is still alive and healthy. When one dies, the virus is allowed to replicate unchecked, resulting in both zombification/reanimation as the infection proceeds unabated throughout the body. The virus would also replicate (probably within the salivary glands) in order to enable transmission to the next bite victim. A zombie bite then introduces a large amount of this virus right into the bloodstream of the target, which overwhelms the body's defenses and is responsible for both death and subsequent zombification—like rabies virus on steroids—and the cycle perpetuates itself.
Bottom line is that with the sepsis model, you have to explain more anomalies than with a virus-death model. You'd need to postulate immediate changes in the oral microbiome that aren't readily accounted-for, but would be responsible for the 100% fatality rates upon receiving a bite (but ONLY a zombie bite, and not a live-human bite), while with the novel zombie virus model you get a bit more carte blanche to account for the transmission and certain death. That seems a much better explanation to me.

Of course they have bacteria in their mouths--that's not in doubt. What's a myth is that's the only way to kill prey, when the 2009 Fry et al paper demonstrates venom as a more probable mechanism.

Focus Yanks Beck Interview Amid Complaints That "Mormonism is a Cult"
By Kyle Mantyla | January 5, 2009 11:47 am
Back before the holidays, I came across a press release on Christian Newswire from Steve McConkey of Underground Apologetics blasting Focus on the Family for posting a short interview with Glenn Beck about his new book "The Christmas Sweater." McConkey was outraged that Focus dared to post the interview without mentioning that Beck is Mormon and that "Mormonism is a cult":
While Glenn's social views are compatible with many Christian views, his beliefs in Mormonism are not. Clearly, Mormonism is a cult. The CitizenLink story does not mention Beck's Mormon faith, however, the story makes it look as if Beck is a Christian who believes in the essential doctrines of the faith.
Through the years, Focus on the Family has done great things to help the family and has brought attention to the many social ills that are attacking the family.
However, to promote a Mormon as a Christian is not helpful to the cause of Jesus Christ. For Christians to influence society, Christians should be promoting the central issues of the faith properly without opening the door to false religions.
At the time, I ignored the press release because it seemed like just another example of a relatively unknown and unimportant fringe right-wing figure trying to gin up some press for himself … but it turns out that McConkey's gripes apparently had more influence than I had realized as Focus subsequently pulled the interview from its website:
James Dobson's Focus on the Family ministry has pulled from its CitizenLink Web site an article about talk show host Glenn Beck's book "The Christmas Sweater" after some complained that Beck's LDS faith is a "cult" and "false religion" and shouldn't be promoted by a Christian ministry.
When contacted Friday, a Focus on the Family worker at the ministry in Colorado Springs, Colo. confirmed that the article had been pulled …
For his part Beck is none-too-pleased with Focus's "censorship" while the organization insists that McConkey's attack had nothing to do with its decision to yank the article:
Focus on the Family got to work this week in explaining in detail why it pulled from its website an interview with a Mormon author.
"We intended no insult," expressed ministry spokesman Gary Schneeberger, in a statement. "[W]e merely miscalculated on how best to feature Glenn [Beck], whom we greatly appreciate."
Beck, however, maintains that the book's message can be and has been embraced by people of different faiths and should not be "censored" because of his own personal religious views. The book tells the narrative of a boy named Eddie who embarks on a dark and painful journey on the road to manhood.
"The Christmas Sweater is a story about the idea of Christmas as a time for redemption and atonement," Beck expressed in a released statement after the interview was pulled from Focus on the Family's CitizenLink website.
"Whatever your beliefs about my religion, the concept of religious tolerance is too important to be sacrificed in response to pressure from special interest groups, especially when it means bowing to censorship," he added.
According to Schneeberger, however, Focus on the Family could not intimate to its evangelical base that the differences in Mormon faith and the historic evangelical faith are inconsequential.
"We can, and do, gladly cooperate with friends outside of the evangelical heritage on common causes; but in no case do we intend to alter our clear distinction as unwaveringly grounded in evangelical theology," he explained.
But Schneeberger made sure to also distance the ministry from another that had strongly rebuked it for the article's posting.
"[W]e do not condone the tone of communications put out from UnderGround Apologetics," he clarified, referring to the controversial apologetics ministry that spoke out against Focus on the Family last week. "And we can without reservation say that the group's news release had nothing to do with our decision to pull the article from publication."

BAFTA Game Awards ceremony canceled due to coronavirus concerns
The awards will be livestreamed without a live audience on the same day instead.

The BAFTA Game Awards will no longer take place with an audience due to growing fears over the coronavirus pandemic, The British Academy of Film and Television Arts has announced. Instead of taking place with a red carpet, it will be streamed live without an in-person audience on the same day.
"Amid growing concerns over the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19) and the number of nominees due to travel from overseas, we have made the decision to change the format of next month's BAFTA Games Awards from a red carpet ceremony at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in London to an online live stream, which will broadcast globally on the same day as scheduled," BAFTA stated.
The BAFTA Game Awards will broadcast on April 2, the same day the red carpet event was scheduled to take place. Since this is a new and unique circumstance, the format of the awards is currently unclear, but BAFTA has said that it is notifying all relevant parties of the changes and promised more updates in the next few weeks.
Both Death Stranding and Control lead the BAFTA Game Awards nominations with a record-breaking 11 nominations each, although Death Stranding missed out on a Best Game nomination. Disco Elysium is just behind them with 7 nominations, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Life is Strange 2, and Outer Wilds are also highly recognized, with 5 nominations each.
