Q: Data Binding not passing correctly to controller function parameter inside ng-repeat I am building a menu to allow users to change CSS on my webapp. My js method takes a string and then adds it into a URI for a bootswatch CDN. The code works when I hardcode a string. When I use the databound variable, it gets interesting. In developer tools I see the HTML shows there is the databound string as it should be. When I go to see which URI the browser is trying to GET, it is literally adding {{style}} to the URI. I'm quite new to all this so please forgive any huge flaws. I am open to any and all suggestions.
Here's my opening html tag:

Here's my controller:
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
    // default on load for now
    $scope.stylePath = '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.2.0/css/bootstrap.min.css';
    $scope.styles = ['slate', 'Cyborg', "Darkly", "journal", "Yeti"];
    $scope.setStyle = function(styleName) {
        $scope.stylePath = '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/3.2.0/' + styleName + '/bootstrap.min.css';
    };
    $scope.changePath = function() {
        $scope.stylePath='//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/3.2.0/slate/bootstrap.min.css';
    };
});

As you can see, in my array, I have tried different types of quotes as well as lowercase and uppercase. (the word has to be lowercase) It is also worth noting that changePath() works fine. setStyle() hasn't ever worked when I've tried passing it a data bound value. Passing it a string literal has no problems.
Here's the code in question:

    Themes

            {{ style }}

            hardcode slate

            hardcode darkly

BTW, not putting quotes around the databinding at the setStyle() call brings me a parse error.
Error: [$parse:syntax] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.2.21/$parse/syntax?p0=style&p1=is%20unexpected%2C%20expecting%20%5B%3A%5D&p2=12&p3=setStyle(%7B%7Bstyle%7D%7D)&p4=style%7D%7D)

angular.js:10023

Is it possible to do what I'm doing? What am I doing wrong?

A: {{ style }}

should be
{{ style }}

No need to use any binding inside the call.

NASSP Names Three Outstanding Finalists for 2020 National Principal of the Year
Principals from Maryland, Massachusetts, and Georgia to be recognized for building school cultures that promotes student, teacher, and staff success
Bob Farrace, Director of Public Affairs, NASSP
farraceb@nassp.org
Reston, VA—The National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) today named Joey Jones, Lindsa McIntyre, and Kerensa Wing as the finalists for the 2020 NASSP National Principal of the Year (POY) award. Each of these principals has succeeded in providing high-quality learning opportunities for students as well as demonstrating exemplary contributions—including student wellness, collaborative leadership, innovation, and strategic management—to the profession.
Joey Jones, Robert Frost Middle School, Rockville, MD
Jones strives for "PIE" in everything he does by seeking professionalism, integrity, and excellence. By instilling this mindset in himself and his staff, he has created a supportive learning environment that fosters a culture of well-being for each student. In fact, a recent school survey reported that more than 90 percent of students said they feel safe and that their teachers have high expectations for them to do well, and nearly 93 percent of staff said they would recommend Robert Frost Middle School as a good place to work. Culturally relevant teaching also plays a part in student wellness at the school. Jones and his team have facilitated student-to-student discourse to promote the sharing of peer perspectives; used authentic texts to reflect the diversity of the student population; and promoted asset thinking versus deficit thinking, where all students are viewed as "at promise" rather than some students being singled out as "at risk." Furthermore, Jones focuses on developing fellow leaders and, over the past 17 years, has trained 14 award-winning educational leaders who have become associate superintendents, principals, or assistant principals.
Lindsa McIntyre, Jeremiah E. Burke High School, Dorchester, MA
McIntyre was tasked with making big changes in her community after Jeremiah E. Burke High School was designated as a turnaround school—but it didn't take her long to deliver results. She immediately engaged in a rigorous and inclusive redesign process in collaboration with a team of stakeholders and partners. Through collaborative leadership and innovation, she channeled her passionate interaction with the community; used targeted interventions to drive change in school culture, educator development, and personalized instruction; and fostered a collective belief in the whole child and the need to mitigate nonacademic needs of the student—ultimately transforming Burke High School into one of the safest schools in the district. McIntyre also adopted four core values into the school community: respect, responsibility, collaboration, and perseverance. These core values created a common language that established a shared school vision and mission that could be implemented into classrooms and shared spaces. While her focus is always on advancing each individual student, McIntyre also devotes her time to the professional development of her team, leading to a shared leadership model. She and her team have worked together to strengthen their instructional core by building authentic relationships between students, teachers, and content.
Kerensa Wing, Collins Hill High School, Suwanee, GA
Wing believes that every student deserves a great teacher, which is why she makes a concerted effort to hire teachers who are content experts and student-focused in their approach. Because the classroom teacher has an enormous impact on student growth, she views her job of hiring, retaining, and training the best teachers as the most efficient path toward equity for students. She works with her staff in a professional learning community structure, implementing scheduling changes to accommodate common planning and collaboration time using research-based practices for students. As a result, student performance on state assessments rose between 3 and 13 percent in proficient and distinguished levels on all tests. Additionally, Wing chartered 27-minute advisement periods, where students have a standing appointment with a teacher who is responsible for connecting with and advocating for every student in their group. The weekly advisement schedule includes time for reading, goal setting, lessons, special interests, and more. Wing also gives herself time with students through an open-door policy and meets with students whenever they make a request.
"Great schools have great leaders, and Mr. Jones, Ms. McIntyre, and Ms. Wing are prime examples of principals who have purposefully and deliberately applied their leadership skills to support the needs of their schools," stated NASSP Executive Director JoAnn Bartoletti. "We are excited to honor these three principals for building unique school cultures with the goal of preparing each student for lifelong success, while also cultivating teachers and staff to meet their own professional ambitions."
Principal of the Year finalists will be recognized at the 2019 NASSP Principals Institute, an event that convenes state principals from each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. Department of State Office of Overseas Schools, and the U.S Department of Defense Education Activity. The event will be held in Washington, D.C., September 30–October 3, 2019, and will involve a series of professional development activities and meetings with congressional members.
The 2020 National Principal of the Year will be announced in October during National Principals Month. For more information, please visit www.principalsmonth.org.

Homepage > When A Wasp Lays Its Eggs In A Spider
When A Wasp Lays Its Eggs In A Spider
In the United States of America the acronym WASP means white Anglo-Saxon Protestant and was used to distinguish between the different types of European settlers after the continent was discovered by Christopher Columbus in ships commissioned by Queen Isabella of Spain in 1492. The distinction between Catholics and Protestants derives from the traditional acceptance of the role of the Pope in Rome as the leader of Christianity based on the teaching of Jesus Christ: `Love your neighbor as you love yourself.` (Mk: 12. 31) Those who accept the Pope in Rome are Catholic, while those who don`t, but remain Christians, are Protestant, which is a term derived from protests about centralizing the power of the church to the detriment of national communities. Of course, `white` remains a sensitive issue because of the US` history of slaving black Africans to work in the cotton plantations of the southern states, which resulted in the Civil War (1861-5) of manumission. Consequently, WASP has been used by racists to distinguish themselves as white Europeans from blacks, although the term WASP is neutrally objective. A significant group in the settling of the US were Germans and the novels and short stories of science fiction writer Robert A. Heinlein (1907-88) featured WASP characters in space adventures; for example, his juvenile series that began in 1947 with Rocket Ship Galileo about an end of World War II scenario in which Nazis found on the moon secretly planning to enslave the Earth are defeated by the crew of the Galileo. The story was pertinent because Heinlein was a sixth generation German-American who`d helped the US against the fascist political movement. Japan, Italy and Germany were the axis powers that had emerged after Benito Mussolini was elected as dictator in Rome in 1922 with the fasces as his symbol, a bundle of wood with an ax in the center as a symbol of how people are blinded by the chopping of wood to construct fences to keep them in or out.
The German dictator elected in 1933, Adolf Hitler, adopted the fasces as the symbol of the National Socialist (Nazi) government, and the Japanese Empire waged war in the Pacific theater to enslave Asia, after the Italians and Germans began a campaign to enslave Europe. The aim of the fascists 1939-45 war was to enslave the Earth after the German Empire`s first attempt in World War I, 1914-18, which meant that Heinlein, as a German-American, had something to prove. Consequently, when his final juvenile novel Starship Troopers (1959) was condemned for its depiction of a fascistoid society based on the model of Imperial Rome, it was Heinlein`s German ancestry that remained unspokenly unproven: `Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than has any other factor, and the contrary opinion is wishful thinking at its worst. Breeds that forget this basic truth have always paid for it with their lives and their freedoms.`1 Although Heinlein`s anti-Nazi stance was evident in Rocket Ship Galileo, embracing fascistoid manners and mores in Starship Troopers might have seemed retrogressive coming from a German-American whose nation had cost the US time, lives, and other national resources during WWI and WWII. Dr Cargraves` Galileo, and its crew of three teenage boys, who foil the Nazi plot on the moon, signify the graves of the car, that is, the end of the age of the automobile, which was first manufactured at the Henry Ford plant in Detroit, Michigan, in 1908 as the Model T Ford, and the beginning of space exploration. However, despite Heinlein`s work at the Philadelphia Navy yard during the war years on diving suits that would ultimately be the spacesuits used by the North American Space Administration (NASA) of the Apollo Space Program, which culminated in the July 21, 1969, Apollo 11 moon landing, space exploration never attained the anticipated level of vertical take off and landing rocket travel (VTOL). NASA`s original plan to fly to the moon in spaceplanes ended in 1959 when the X-15 program was cancelled because pilots experienced blackouts at high altitudes causing planes to crash when they reached the outer limits of the Earth`s atmosphere and could see the moon and stars. Consequently, Heinlein`s vision of space travel as being a grave for the age of the car in Rocket Ship Galileo belies the truth, which was that the automobile industry grew and space exploration was underfunded. Heinlein`s German-American status was proven worthy of citizenship by his work at the Philadelphia Navy yard on pressure suits, but his fascistoid description of an interstellar war between the arachnids of the planet Klendathu and the humans of Earth resembled Nazism in its depiction of a society in which mobilization for war was the iterated theme and pogroming another race was the essential ingredient of the narrative. Heinlein`s choice of spiders on the `bug world` of Klendathu as his alien enemy is the Nazi equivalent of labeling the Jews as dwarves poisonous to the social fabric and building death camps beneath the fasces emblem of a bundle of wood and an ax for the barbed wire fencing that kept those outside in blind ignorant unconsciousness of the extermination. Because there wasn`t a Klendathu planet and the city of Buenos Aires wasn`t destroyed by `bugs`, Heinlein`s Starship Troopers was an extrapolation of Nazism using `the bug war` as a ruse to promulgate fascist ideology.
The moon of Rocket Ship Galileo is discovered by Dr Cargraves to have harbored an alien civilization, which was destroyed by nuclear bombs. Although the children`s nursery rhyme, `The Cow Jumped Over The Moon` seems unrelated to the alien race, the Egyptian goddess, Hathor, with the horns of the crescent moon, gives some idea of the meaning behind the rhyme, which features a `little dog` laughing at the scene. In Egyptian mythology the `House Of Hathor` was the home of the mother goddess, while the `House Of Horus` was the place where the worthy dwelt inside her, that is, the moon was the gateway to the planets and stars of heaven. In Egyptian `Ka` is `spirit` and `Kau` is many spirits, because when the cow jumps over the moon, the human spirit will be in heaven. Consequently, the alien race on the moon in Rocket Ship Galileo is Egyptian, which interpretation is biblical, rather than mythological. In the Old Testament, that is, the Torah and Talmud of the Jews, which is their law and history, Abraham`s wife, Sara, gives birth to Isaac, who founded Judaism, and afterwards she was barren, so gave her maid, Hajer, to Abraham, who bore Ishmael, the founder of Moslem Islam, through his descendant Mohamed, who received the Koran (610-30 C.E.) from the angels, according to tradition, because the human host was to be greater than the angelic. Hajer and Ishmael built the temple of Abraham in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, which is the Ka` Ba, because `Ka` is spirit, and `Ba` is soul in Egypt`s mythology. Consequently, the legitimization of Ishmael`s birth from the Egyptian woman, Hajer, by permitting four wives to Moslems also permits of sexual reproduction between women within the Islamic family, that is, between the `Ka` spirit and the `Ba` soul. In Christianity, Jesus` mother, the Virgin Mary, is described as crushing the head of the serpent with her foot, where the angel, Satan, is the serpent transformed by God for rejecting God`s plan that the human host be greater than the angelic. Because Jesus is born uncontaminated by male semen, he`s futanarian `woman`s seed`. In Eden, God told Eve her `seed` would have `enmity` with the serpent, Satan, although Redemption would occur, if Adam labored, while Eve experienced labor pain, after expulsion from Eden, that is, heaven on Earth, for eating the `fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil`, which is death: `You shall crush the head of the serpent with your foot, but he shall bruise your heel.` (Gen: 3. 15) Women`s brainpower born from their `seed` can lift the futanarian human species to the planets and stars of heaven, despite Satanism`s enslaving of the host wombs of women in parasitism for the parasitoid devourer, war. As slavery requires ephemerality lest permanence produce intelligence and technology that`s maintained through immortality conferring medical science, Satanism uses the human host womb as a WASP lays its eggs in a spider, which is what Heinlein`s Starship Troopers is about. For the futanarian human species of `woman`s seed`, that is, an eight-limbed race represented in Moslem Islam by the `Ka` or spirt of the woman`s capacity to fertilize and the `Ba` soul`s capacity to host, a WASP is an egg-layer.
In nature the wasp larvae live on the meat of the body of the spider, while it`s still alive, before the wasps emerge from the consumed remains: `And the dragon was wroth with the woman and went to wage war upon the remnant of her seed.` (Rev: 12. 17) Although Starship Troopers is the obvious descriptive narrative of how the futanarian human species of `woman`s seed` is enslaved by a host womb parasite to produce warfare against her own race, Heinlein`s novel, The Number Of The Beast (1980), which features a space time continua car, Gay Deciever, is the better description of the WASP, and how it emerges from the spider, that is, Satanism`s understanding of `woman`s seed` is of the human race as an eight-limbed single species independent of men`s semen. Consequently, WASPs are the `beast` of Revelation emergent as the `serpent`s seed` from the human host enslaved by the parasite. In parasitological terms, parasites live from the host and become parasitoid in the final stages of parasitism when the host is devoured, which is what warfare is amongst the independently single human futanarian race of `woman`s seed`. In Heinlein`s The Number Of The Beast the fictional premise is of a car that can access alternate universes to the number of six raised to the power of six raised to the power of six: `Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: his number is 666.` (Rev: 13. 18) The number is 66.6 % of the people on the planet Earth who`re a single male brained creature wearing each others` clothes in `TV` transvestism, because the 33.3 % that would make up the 100% is futanarian `woman`s seed`. However, because `woman`s seed` doesn`t ostensibly reproduce, and the mode of women`s sexual reproduction can only be guessed at from Moslem women in Islam`s concealing themselves beneath the black one-piece coverall of the burka in public, the `beast` of Revelation is `TV`, which occludes and imposes a media blackout on women`s sex education, while promulgating the `serpent`s seed` of warfare against the human futanarian species of `woman`s seed`: `The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.` (Rev: 13. 15) There are two beasts of Revelation, because `TV` is the single male brained creature wearing each others` clothes in `TV` transvestism, which is the human race without `woman`s seed`.
Jesus Christ`s crucifixion by the Empire of Rome, after his disciple, Judas Iscariot, betrayed the human host, at what was known as his `Last Supper`, was as a `dissident`. Judas accepted from the Jewish religious police, the Pharisees, `thirty pieces of silver`, because his simple maxim threatened to collapse the Satanist Empire of Rome: `Love your neighbor as you love yourself.` (Mk: 12. 31) Taken to the hill of Calvary outside Rome where he was nailed to a cross of wood and left there to die, Jesus` Resurrection and Ascension to heaven prefigured that of `woman`s seed`, who remained unable to love herself, because `TV` reflection screened her from viewers who needed sex education. Because of sexual taboo ensuring blind ignorant unconsciousness for a human species of `woman`s seed` unable to sexually reproduce her own brains` powers for liberation from slavery in host womb parasitism, Heinlein`s novel The Number Of The Beast had to express, in symbolic terms, what the `beast` was, and so he introduces the character, the `black beast`, a hermaphroditic denizen of the `multiverse`, which is the term Heinlein uses to describe the alternate worlds, both fictional and real, that are accessible to the car, Gay Deciever, and its occupants, the pair of married heterosexual couples, Jake, Deety`s father, who is married to Hilda, and Zeb, Deety`s husband. Although homosexuality and incest occurs between the four, Heinlein is unable to depict the problem, because of sexual taboo against `woman`s seed`, that is, although the multiverse purports to contain all possible worlds real or imaginary, Heinlein can`t represent the woman`s penis, because the genre is stuck in infantilism, along with the rest of the human race. Consequently, the `black beast` is the hermaphroditic character that chases the married couples through the multiverse as an antagonist, because it represents the shadow of what it might be.
Development psychologist Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961) suggested the term shadow for the personal subconscious aspect of the human psyche, which contained the archetypes of the collective unconscious that appeared as imagery and symbols impelling human development. According to Jung the shadow component of the individual psyche represented the perception that an inferior quality perceived by the ego as belonging to others was a projection he called the shadow, that is, in sexual terms, the perception that the other person has female characteristics becomes an aspect of the shadow if `woman`s seed` isn`t taught to the human collective. In male braining the perception is that a woman doesn`t have a penis, so the shadow functions as a lie detector, that is, the other person is perceived as inferior, because men have effectively removed the woman`s penis from the picture. The `black beast` is depicted in Heinlein`s The Number Of The Beast as a pest amounting to a plague, because in ancient Greece; for example, institutionalized host womb slavery to promote war through homosexuality in pederasty became the model for democracy, which produced HIV/AIDS` `blood plague` (Rev: 11. 6), that is, the `incurable killer disease` of the late 20th century spread through men`s mixing of blood, shit and semen in each others` anuses in mockery and rejection of `woman`s seed`: `Men cursed the God of heaven for their pains and their sores, but refused to repent of what they had done.` (Rev: 16. 11) In Islam secular and religious dictatorship is usual, because the four wife marriages amongst the Moslem peoples, which affords the possibility of sexual reproduction between women, produces misogyny, rather than democracy. Consequently, the Persian Empire is represented in the Bible as deriving from a `woman`, who gave her name to its capital city, Babylon (c. 4000 B.C.): `Mystery, Babylon the Great, mother of harlots and of the abominations of the Earth.` (Rev: 17. 5) As the collective shadow Heinlein`s `beast` is the white anglo-saxon protestant WASP emergent from the eight-limbed `spider` that misogyny characterizes as women`s seed`s sexual partnering with each other. Because the traditional Roman church established after Jesus` crucifixion featured transubstantiation, that is, the transformation ritual, whereby the `bread and wine` given to the disciples at the `Last Supper`, as symbols of his `body and blood`, is received by the petitioner from the officiate as a wafer and a sip of wine from a chalice. The absence of the transubstantiation ritual from Protestant churches further occludes the possibility of `woman`s seed` being taught, so WASPs are likely to emerge as a threat to humanity. Although Starship Troopers is about a war between spiders and humans, the analogy is of WASPs emergent from `woman`s seed`. In Rocket Ship Galileo Dr Cargraves` defeat of anti-Christian German Nazis represents the emergent WASPs. It`s the futanarian Jewish tradition that Jews are born from women, because women are Jews, so the Nazi pogromers were endeavoring to ensure that only WASPs would be produced in the future for their `TV wars` against the `remnant` of `woman`s seed`.

"While wandering a deserted beach at dawn, stagnant in my work, I saw a man in the distance bending and throwing as he walked the endless stretch toward me. As he came near, I could see that he was throwing starfish, abandoned on the sand by the tide, back into the sea. When he was close enough I asked him why he was working so hard at this strange task. He said that the sun would dry the starfish and they would die. I said to him that I thought he was foolish. There were thousands of starfish on miles and miles of beach. One man alone could never make a difference. He smiled as he picked up the next starfish. Hurling it far into the sea he said, "It makes a difference for this one." I abandoned my writing and spent the morning throwing starfish."

Scandalous Artefacts
Between Architecture, Archaeology and Anthropology
ἀναλογία
Alessandro Zambelli April 19, 2020 April 19, 2020 Disciplinarity
Taking a break from the commons research which has been occupying much of my brain and time recently, I was contemplating the many parts of my PhD research which I had had to either compress or completely leave out from the recent book version of it, Scandalous Space: between architecture and archaeology. Particularly sad to lose but which I am beginning to become interested in again, were long detailed sections concerning what I had argued were the logical underpinnings of interdisciplinary space which, after Claude Lévi-Strauss, I had termed 'scandalous'.
These logical foundations were introduced in a number of ways in various parts of the thesis, but here is a lightly edited one I still like:
Page of the Codex Parisinus graecus 1807. Dialogue Timaios in Omont, H. Plato: Codex Parisinus A : Œuvres Philosophiques De Platon, Facsimilé En Phototypie À La Grandeur Exacte De L'original Du Ms. Grec 1807 De La Bibliothèque Nationale. 1908.
ANALOGY IN ANTIQUITY AND ITS BASIS IN LOGIC
What might it mean if an architect were to record an artefact at an archaeological excavation? What if that recording were made using (accidental) hybrid architectural/archaeological drawing techniques but the purpose of that drawing was simply to take its place in the project archive amongst other drawings made by archaeologists? And what if those architectural drawings were presented at, say, an archaeological conference, or workshop?[1] What would all this signify for that architect's practice on the one hand, or for the practice of archaeology on the other? This thesis maintains that the products of this kind of 'scandalous practice' would still be intelligible (and not trivial) because the suites of artefacts and practices, techniques and tools used in archaeology and architecture already have a relationship of shared ancestry. That is, they share a homological relationship from which basis – in a sometimes explicit, sometimes occluded, yet common, inherited structure – new analogically realised tools techniques and practices may develop.
Analogy is a common word which disguises its own complex development; it is at once a stand-in for all kinds of metaphor and, for Plato, the first to systematically analyse its nature and usages, the glue which holds the world together. In the Timaeus, Plato says that in order for two superficially unlike things to be successfully combined, say earth and water, or fire and water, they must be joined by a third thing which shares some of their already common underlying structure. For Plato this bond must share "proportion" with both of the terms it is seeking to unite or to fuse. At least, proportion is how the word is normally translated. For although the English word 'analogy' has its roots in the Attic Greek word which Plato uses, ἀναλογία, to which it is strongly connected phonetically,[2] "proportion" tends to be used in English translation because as Plato immediately goes on to explain the universe is a geometrical and proportionally related construct. Nevertheless, some translators have used the homophone 'analogy' instead. In fact, Barbara Maria Stafford uses a translation which employs this version when she says, "analogy was 'the most beautiful bond possible,'" and references the Timaeus. She does not say whose translation she uses, though it is very close to James Anderson's English rendering of Paul Grenet's French, "of all bonds the most beautiful is analogy."[3]
Plato's understanding of ἀναλογία (let's use the English version which Stafford favours – analogy) underpins the argument of this thesis for a deep resemblance, or proportion, between divergent and therefore superficially dissimilar practices of propositional making, and it is Plato's argument which underpins Stafford's visually analogical exemplars in Visual Analogy.[4] For Plato's student, Aristotle, analogical union is a species of metaphor and, crucially for the account of analogy given by Stafford and developed in this thesis, a kind of visual metaphor;
Metaphor by analogy means this: when B is to A as D is to C, then instead of B the poet will say D and B instead of D. And sometimes they add that to which the term supplanted by the metaphor is relative. For instance, a cup is to Dionysus what a shield is to Ares; so he will call the cup 'Dionysus's shield' and the shield 'Ares' cup.' Or old age is to life as evening is to day; so he will call the evening 'day's old-age' or use Empedocles' phrase; and old age he will call 'the evening of life' or 'life's setting sun.' Sometimes there is no word for some of the terms of the analogy but the metaphor can be used all the same. For instance, to scatter seed is to sow, but there is no word for the action of the sun in scattering its fire. Yet this has to the sunshine the same relation as sowing has to the seed, and so you have the phrase 'sowing the god-created fire.'[5]
The visual nature of Aristotle's explanation is not accidental; the words, the images and their analogical relationship appear tightly (though not, I would argue, inextricably) connected to one another. Their analogical relationship is one of balance, as the distribution of the ABCD notation reveals, and one of proportion – an operation performed on one side of the inference must be matched by an equivalent operation on the other. Furthermore, in this way meaning is carried forward across the analogical medium of the text and imagery. As Anderson notes;
here it is a question simply of metaphorical proportion, or proportionality […] For in its essence metaphorical analogy or proportion consists in the transference, in virtue of some perceived likeness of relations.[6]
But if, for Plato, analogy (proportion) describes and explains the structure of the world, then for Aristotle the attribute which lends analogy its agency is something quite different. The conceptual tool Aristotle uses is usually translated as 'abduction.' C. S. Peirce's use of abductive reasoning to explain and promote scientific thought as a creative mode of reasoning will be explored in detail in the next chapter and in particular its critical position in the formation of the analogically-sensitive medium of scandalous space.

This drawing and the circumstances surrounding its production were presented at the Theoretical Archaeology Group conference (TAG), Chicago in 2013.
[2] See for example; Plato, Timaeus, ed. Benjamin Jowett, trans. Benjamin Jowett (1998).
"But two things cannot be rightly put together without a third; there must be some bond of union between them. And the fairest bond is that which makes the most complete fusion of itself and the things which it combines; and proportion is best adapted to effect such a union."
or; Timaeus and Critias, trans. Desmond Lee and T. K. Johansen, New ed. (London: Penguin, 2008).
"But it is not possible to combine two things properly without a third; for there has to be some bond in the middle to hold them together. And the finest bond is one that effects the closest unity between itself and the terms it is combining; and this is best done by a proportion."

Lady Eagles start season with loftier expectations Last season, the USM women's basketball team went places it hadn't in an very long time. Check out this story on hattiesburgamerican.com: http://hatne.ws/1u8zLr2

Last season, the Southern Miss women's basketball team went places it hadn't in an awfully long time.
The Lady Eagles tied a school record with 27 victories, claimed the runner-up spot in the Conference USA Tournament in March and advanced to the WNIT quarterfinals.
All of it came after the team was picked to finish 13th in the league standings in a preseason vote by C-USA's coaches.
This season, the Lady Eagles are picked to finish third in the conference and begin play at noon today when they host West Florida in an exhibition contest at Reed Green Coliseum.
"There's a big difference between being hunted and going hunting," head coach Joye Lee-McNelis said. "Now, people are coming at us."
Lee-McNelis, in her 11th season as head coach at Southern Miss, added the test for her Lady Eagles this season is taking those expectations in stride.
"Our maturity level has to get much better to handle that," she said. "I'm glad we have a challenging non-conference schedule to better prepare us, because so much of that is mental."
Sophomore forward Lashyra Cotton echoed her head coach's sentiments.
"We know what our expectations are," she said. "So we're just working to build a better bond."


American pro has overcome the likes of Jeff Madsen, Daniel Letts and Paul Dlugozima to bank $660,395 cash prize.
Field for event taking place in Hollywood, Florida, is now down to just six with yesterday's chip leader top of the pile to claim $660,395 first prize.

Nvidia, Intel, and AMD GPU shipments up 10.8% as consumers scoop up PCs
Demand is sky high for GPUs, according to industry intelligence firm Jon Peddie Research. In the company's latest Market Watch report for calendar Q3 of 2020, it found that GPU shipments increased 10.8% year-over-year. AMD, Nvidia, and Intel all saw quarter-over-quarter increases as well.
As Jon Peddie notes in the breakdown of the report, GPU shipments are a leading indicator. Manufacturers purchase them before shipping PCs to consumers. This means that the market expects demand for PCs to remain high through the foreseeable future. The overall PC market increased 9.47% year-over-year, according to Jon Peddie.
Discrete GPUs from AMD and Nvidia were up 13.44% quarter-over-quarter. That jump is partially due to historical trends that lead to consumers purchasing more discrete GPUs in Q3 than Q2. But it also reflects the launch of Nvidia's RTX 3000-series video cards in September. Those products flew off shelves and are still difficult to find.
And while bots and cryptominers are easy targets for frustrated consumers who cannot find a new GPU, Jon Peddie thinks it has more to do with people creating demand naturally.
"Factors influencing the robust sales of [discrete GPUs] in the past two quarters have clearly been increasing growth in gaming, and the need to outfit home offices due to COVID," said Peddie. "There has been speculation that there might be a renewal in demand for AIBs due to crypto mining. Anything is possible, but the power consumption of AIBs greatly diminishes the payoff for crypto-mining. Ethereum, the best-suited coin for GPUs, will fork into version 2.0 very soon, making GPUs obsolete. A person would be very foolish to invest in a high-end, power-consuming AIB for crypto-mining today."
And while those fools likely do exist, the issue is just general supply and demand.

I've been thinking, and dare I say worrying, about this blog all week. So much raw material to work with: so much raw emotion to look back on: so much connection: so much of relevance and significance: and so much pain and difficulty. Yet by the end of the week, so much to look back on and be proud of.
All week I've had Big Country's Fields Of Fire going round in my head: all week, that is, since #TeamOscar successfully overcame the best that the wee man could throw at us on our way down the road. It was an epic journey, one that combined persistence with dogged resistance, strength of mind with strength of body, and ultimately a will never to give in to adversity, even in the most difficult of conditions.
This is the story of the #TeamOscar Highland Bike for Princess Puddles. Line up the beers, strap yersel' in and relive the windswept rollercoaster of the Highland Bike.
To begin at the beginning, we need to consider that Mouldy rode his bike into his work in the centre of Glasgow on the day before the off. Kev had a day off over in Wishaw, Robert probably did what Robert always does over in Spean Bridge, raced up a few hills in the big ring, and Brendan (aka Iain McGovern, Brendan Foster double alike) boarded a couple of late running trains on his way up from Newcastle. That was to be last time he travelled First Class that weekend.
We were meeting up in Pitlochry so the bhoys could watch their team sneaking away from McDiamid Park with a jammy point. Having said that, a few folk were choking on their beer when James Forrest rounded the keeper late on, only to bobble the ball wide of the target. Quite enjoyed that moment masel', same as teaching these lads the latest dance craze: the Meek. It's dead simple… stick yer right arm out and throw yer head back. Then repeat. Ad infinitum.
By pure chance, we met Sara and Grant in the bar. They were up to do Schiehallion the following day and I was duty bound to explain how my Twitter handle is @VonSchiehallion. Sara has been following me as the LifeCycle Man since I did a wee gig for Brendan this time last year and having finally met up, can I say what a lovely, lovely couple they are. Sara co-founded the Simba charity in 2008 and it was hugely touching to hear her story about how the charity started and how it has evolved.
Having failed to get the early night we had promised ourselves, we duly set multiple alarms in the Backpackers Hostel for 6am in order to be sure to be on the road by 6:30am. With the bikes to be reloaded onto both racks (roof and back), it was an exercise in teamwork that set the standard for what lay ahead.
Breakfast was booked at the Newtonmore Motor Grill and a rendezvous with Robert, who got a lift over from Spean Bridge despite the road being closed. We're talking mega Olympic big breakfast here: the full works. I kid you not, you couldn't have got any more of the good stuff on that plate: Highland Bike fuel.
So now we had one seriously laden motor: Two bikes on top, two on the back, all the bags inside, plus the food, and five blokes. Talk about a heavy load! But the old jigger delivered…
Destination: Mosset Park, home of Forres Mechanics FC. The Mechs did us proud. With their season already over, they opened up the ground, got a couple of players in and allowed us free rein to get photos on the park. Then Eileidh arrived: a magic moment. A truly magical moment. Eileidh had been in hospital in Aberdeen all week undergoing her last block of immunotherapy treatment and only got out on Friday night. But she was right up for this. Hugs here, high fives there, she even knew the names of the bikers. A Princess in the making.
We were led out of Forres by Calum Finlayson, Scottish 100 mile time trial champion, and patron of Pedal Strokes, a charity that supports sufferers of sarcoidosis, a rare condition that attacks the brain and lungs. Calum suffered a stroke in 2010, aged just 36, and has fought back to become one of the most feared competitors on the British cycling scene. Imagine cycling 100 miles at an average speed of 26mph: that's Calum. Total respect. And, he was able to give us the potted history of every nook and cranny of the landscape as we meandered cross country into a biting 30mph headwind. Rain? Yeah, we got that. Hail? Yeah, we got that too. If you want a quick summary, it was hellish.
Next stop was Inverness Caley Thistle where the Highland Marchers and Highland Bikers had the bucket collection. Largely because of the weather, we didn't arrive until just before 2pm so rattling time was strictly limited but it did provide the most poignant and touching moment of the entire week: Eileidh rattling a bucket to raise money to help save her own life. It summed up everything that this journey has been about: a small child with a permasmile relying on the generosity of others to have any realistic chance of a fulfilling life.
Eileidh, from the Highland Marchers and the Highland Bikers, we love you.
With inclement weather all around us, and a forecast that wasn't in the least bit reassuring, I proposed to the #TeamOscar guys that we do something I'd never contemplated before on either a Highland March or a Highland Bike: we left at half time. We had a near 50 mile ride to do to Newtonmore, with challenging hills out of Inverness, Moy and Slochd, and with the wind continuing to gust at 35mph and rain forecast, we knew that if we were to have a realistic chance of refuelling before closing time, we had to be on the road at 4pm. It turned out to be the wisest move of the whole gig.
We made decent time in the conditions, averaging just over 10mph including stops, until we got to Kincraig. Then the rain started. Ten or so miles from the finish, and in gathering gloom, we got a right good soaking. We'd already agreed to finish back at the Motor Grill in order to make a clean start from there the next morning, but a recce of the Glen Hotel on arrival in the village revealed that we had precisely half an hour to get food: "in that case, we'll just eat stinky then…".
Sunday morning kicked off back in the Motor Grill, except that this time it was lashing with rain when we left: and I mean lashing. It's uphill for ten miles to Dalwhinnie, it was into the wind and it was raining. A perfect storm.
Over the top of Drumochter, Mouldy suffered the first of two back wheel punctures in quick succession. And he had the gear shifter for the rear derailleur in his back pocket. It had snapped off on the road out of Newtonmore. To make matters worse, his front chain ring was now stuck in the big cog so he was left with one gear (big (hardest) ring on the front, big (easiest) cog on the bag) for the remaining 135 miles. Mouldy, you were a feckin' hero mate: no giving up for you son.
We hit Pitlochry at lunchtime and by luck Brendan had parked the motor outside a café. The Lawlerman donned an NCCA T-shirt and dropped a bucket in the middle of the pavement. I kid you not: people actually came out of that café to splash the spare cash for wee Eileidh. Another magic moment.
I warned the team at this point that despite us being almost halfway for the day and the sun having come out, the second half of the day was going to be infinitely harder than the first. Feck, was I right: I remember it only too well from the night bike with Dunco on HB1.
Perthshire is undulating. It undulated from the moment we left Pitlochry, for 48 miles, and after we hung a westerly out of Methven, scene of a famous I spy game on HM1, we got our old foe back, the 30mph headwind: except this time, after we approached Kinkell Bridge, it came with a payload of the wet stuff.
Mouldy thought Auchterader was flat, having stopped there on Celtic buses en route to the north and east. Now he discovered to his dismay it was not. Crippled on his single speed 20 gear bike, he begged for mercy and his prayers were duly answered in the salubrious surroundings on Gleneagles. I can certainly think of worse places to call it a night. 88 miles duly delivered.
Tea was a hunt a pub job in Crieff, complete with the bikes locked securely on the motor, except for Robert who elected for the Kebab version instead: still downed his beer mind.
Cue Monday morning and more lashing rain. We piled everything back in the motor, except now of course we had ten collection buckets in a big box to add to everything we already had onboard. The route took us from Gleneagles, through Braco and Kinbuck, to Dunblane and a pit stop at Bridge Of Allan, just up the road from Terry Butcher's old joint. By the time we hit Bannockburn, the rain was easing, but wee Oscar Knox, who helped me set the trail for this adventure, had one final ace up his sleeve: we were going the Tak Ma Doon road.
For the geographically challenged, the Tak Ma Doon road is the meandering route over the Campsies from Stirling to Kilsyth. From the Bannockburn side, it's a six mile climb followed by a treacherous four mile descent. The road was wet and once again it was windy. Throw in a bit of gravel on the high speed corners and you have a recipe for disaster: except we were being careful. Very, very careful: nothing over 25mph.
At this point, it's best to fast forward to The Forge shopping centre at the back of Celtic Park. We arrived in the east end half an hour ahead of schedule and made camp outside Pizza Hut awaiting our landing slot of 1:30pm on the Celtic Way. Brendan set off at twenty past to be sure of getting parked up, whereupon Robert was getting seriously freaked out by a big black cloud that had appeared out of nowhere right at the back of us. We'd had sun for the past three hours so this beastie, at this moment in time, was most unwelcome. We legged it…
Now, even for a visitor like me, I recognise that it's only two minutes on a bike from The Forge to Celtic Park. We got half way and the heavens opened. We got to the lights by the Emirates Arena where you hang a left for the final 100 metres and the rain turned to hail. I've since had it confirmed by Leona that this was indeed Oscar having fun, looking down on us and saying "you beat every bit of bad weather I could throw at you guys: respect" Or as my fellow riders exclaimed "Hail Hail, the bhoys are here: and the LifeCycle Man".
And there to meet us, along with Viv McGinty who took that famous Oscar picture, and a chap from The Herald was…
Eileidh!!!
I've got to say at this point that I have huge respect for Gail, Eileidh's mum, in everything she has done for her wee princess. Gail is acutely aware that only media attention will deliver the cash that's required to get Eileidh to the USA at the end of June, but it's still a long haul to drive the family down from Forres to a photocall that hopefully with reach round the globe. And can I say also that not only is Eileidh a wee star, but Cerys is too. It cannot be easy being the big sister when wee sis is getting all of the attention, but Cerys, if you're reading this, we all think you're a fab big sis!
Now, it was during the photoshoot following the downpour that Eileidh got her new nickname: #PrincessPuddles. The chap from the Herald lined us all up in front of the main door at Celtic Park Park, only for Eileidh to keep disappearing off to jump in the (many) puddles all around us. That wee girl is such an adorable thing. High fives here, hugs there, and always a smile on her face. Remember what I said earlier: Eileidh, we love you.
And at that it was over. Job done and families to go home to. But friendships had been made, with not so much as crossed word in the most testing of conditions, all in the name of Oscar Knox in support of Eileidh Paterson.
It matters not a jot that I was back to work the next day and back on the bike at 5am. It matters not a jot that in the seven days from the moment we rolled out of Mosset Park last Saturday morning, that The LifeCycle Man has banged in 407 miles, having climbed over 20,000ft and burned up 21,000 calories in the process. None of that matters, for at the end of the day…
I'll ride a million miles for one of your smiles, Princess Puddles.


This first airship raid of 1916 was the largest to date and had as its principal target, Liverpool. In all, nine naval Zeppelins took part, but bad weather over the North Sea and much fog and mist over Britain meant that all found it extremely difficult to plot their positions. Zeppelin commanders reported striking against Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, Goole, Immingham and Great Yarmouth; in reality none of these places were bombed.
The first two to come inland were L.21 (Max Dietrich) and L.13 (Heinrich Mathy), crossing the coast north of Mundesley, Norfolk at 4.50pm. L.21 passed Nottingham and Derby (which Dietrich took to be Manchester) then turned towards Wolverhampton, which he mistook for Liverpool. He dropped his first bombs on Tipton at about 8.00pm. Three high-explosive (HE) bombs fell on Waterloo Street (one person killed) and Union Street (13 killed, 10 injured), followed by three incendiaries which landed in Bloomfield and Barnfield Roads. Over Lower Bradley, near Bilston, five HE bombs landed on the canal towpath killing one person and mortally injuring another, and at Bloomfield three incendiaries fell on a brickworks but two failed to ignite. More bombs fell on Wednesbury at about 8.15pm. In King Street, three houses were destroyed and others damaged; 13 people were killed. In the same road another person was killed at the Crown Tube Works. And a bomb at the Mesty Croft Goods Yard killed one person and damaged railway trucks. At about 8.25pm, L.21 appeared over Walsall and flew across the northern part of the town from west to east, dropping seven HE and four incendiary. The incendiary bombs did no damage but the HE bombs badly damaged the Congregational Church in Wednesbury Road, killing a passer-by, Thomas Merrylees. The last of these HE bombs fell in Bradford Place. The blast shattered windows, injuring a man in the Science and Art Institute and killed two men in the street. Shrapnel from the bomb also mortally wounded a passenger in a passing tram; she was Mary Slater, mayoress of Walsall. L.21 then set course back to the coast, but dropped six final incendiary bombs on the Islip furnaces at Thrapston in Northamptonshire at about 9.15pm. All six fell harmlessly in fields. L.21 passed out over the coast south of Lowestoft at about 11.35pm.
Mathy came inland in L.13 close to L.21 but the two separated near Foulsham, Norfolk. L.13 crossed Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, and south of Stoke-on-Trent she dropped six HE bombs on Fenton Colliery at about 8.15pm, causing only minor damage. Mathy then appears to have found it difficult to plot his position due to fog and, after circling around Stoke, set a course towards the east coast. A little before 11.00pm Mathy sighted an operational blast furnace which he attacked; it was the Frodingham Iron and Steel Works at Scunthorpe. Some 16 HE and 48 incendiary bombs were later recovered, all missed their target but struck the Redbourne Iron Works nearby which, ironically, was in darkness. The bombs killed two men and caused slight damage to the engine and boiler house. Four workmen's houses in Scunthorpe were demolished, killing a man and injuring seven people. L.13 passed out to sea at about 11.15pm.
The third Zeppelin to come inland, L.15 (Joachim Breithaupt), did so at about 5.50pm, in the same area as the previous raiders. At Swaffham she headed west. At the time British intelligence believed L.15 circled around Norfolk and Lincolnshire, but later interpretations suggest she flew on westwards and bombed Burton-on-Trent at about 8.45pm, attracted by fires caused by incendiary bombs dropped by L.20. Official reports suggest L.15 dropped 15 HE bombs on the town, at about 9.15pm. It is difficult to determine which Zeppelin dropped which bombs on Burton, but it seems likely that L.15 was responsible for those that struck the engine house at Bass's Brewery, the sawmill at Allsopp's Brewery and the malthouse at Worthington's Brewery. Charrington's and Robinson's Breweries were also hit, but without causing damage. The bombs wrecked nine houses and damaged others in Wellington (two killed) and Shobnall Streets (three killed) and many others injured. At the Christ Church Mission Room at the junction of Moor Street and Uxbridge Street a congregation was present when a bomb exploded outside, killing six of those in the building. L.15 then turned for home and may have dropped an incendiary at Holland Fen, near Boston, at about 10.30pm before crossing the Wash to King's Lynn, then to Swaffham, Wymondham and out to sea at Corton, north of Lowestoft at 12.35am.

Georgia Football Team Helps 5-Year-Old With Rare Brain Disorder Obtain Dream
A five-year-old boy from Georgia was told by doctors that he would never be able to play football because of a very rare brain disorder.
Ben Holloway was diagnosed with brain dural arteriovenous fistual (BDAF) last year.
"Last spring, my wife was telling me that Ben's eye looked like it was bulging, and though I didn't think much of it, she was very persistent," his dad, Joshua Holloway, told ABCNews. "We brought him to a pediatrician after a few days, and he knew something was wrong."
The doctors immediately rushed Ben to the ER where a CT scan confirmed the BDAF diagnosis. BDAF is a condition where there is an abnormal connection between blood vessels inside and outside the the brain's fibrous covering, or dura.
"You can have side effects and devastating problems such as bleeding in the brain, which can lead to stroke, and other problems such as swelling in eyes that can cause vision loss," Dr. Nicholas Bambakidis said. "In children, these fistulas seem to form spontaneously, whereas adults usually acquire them from trauma such as gunshot wounds."
Ben had to undergo surgeries to deal with the problems associated with BDAF including an abnormal tangle of blood vessels that brought excess blood the size of a golf ball into his head. Doctors gave him a 50/50 chance of a stroke and even 20 percent chance of dying during surgery.
A week before a third surgery, the players and coaches of Murray County High School heard about Ben, his love of football and how doctors said he could never play the game.
And they decided to prove the doctors wrong.
Ben was invited to a scrimmage game where he was surprised with his own uniform and equipment including shoulder pads and a helmet. He was told to suit up and be ready when his number was called.
In the first half of the game, the offense called on Ben to be the running back in a "shotgun draw." The quarterback took the snap and handed it to Ben who then ran it in for a touchdown with the entire team cheering him on.
Video of the event has gone viral.
"He was like a kid at Christmas time," Joshua Holloway said. "It was like Christmas morning for him — it really was."
"We still watch the video every night," he added.
Ben had a third surgery the following week that was so successful he may not have to undergo a fourth surgery.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to help the family's unexpected medical costs.

Oregon Community Rallies to Renovate Elderly Couple's Home after Teens' Taunts
Last month, two teenagers taunted a 75-year-old man over the condition of his house.
"Look at this crappy house, they just need to burn it down," one of the teens said among the degrading comments thrown at the home of Leonard Bullock.
Bullock was sitting on the porch of his home at the time and heard every word.
So did Josh Cyganik, a worker for Union Pacific Railroad who starts his workday across the street from Bullock's home.
"I saw him put his head down and it was clear he was upset," Cyganik told Today.com. "I thought about saying something to the boys, but sometimes anger is better left unsaid and I took a different course of action that ended up paying off more so than if I yelled at them."
Cyganik spoke to a local hardware store, Tum-A-Lum Lumber, who agreed to donate the paint necessary to make the renovations to Bullock's home. The good samaritan then went on Facebook to ask his friends to help him during a workday on July 18th to make a difference in Bullock's life.
It ended up much more than just a new coat of paint.
A family brought Bullock a new set of patio furniture so he could sit outside his home in comfort. Starbucks brought six gallons of water and iced tea for the workers.
And then a lumber company showed up unannounced, unloaded new lumber and built Bullock a brand new porch.
"The house is real nice now," Bullock told ABC News. "It makes me feel good to look at it, especially after what [the teenagers] said."
"They're great people. You never know about someone unless you get to know their struggles," Cyganik told the Union Pacific blog. "Yeah, it was a random act of kindness, but to me it's more about respect. I was raised to respect the people who came before you, to help others out who don't have much. Leonard can now sit on his front porch for the rest of his years while feeling good about his home."

Baltimore Boy Gets World's First Double Hand Transplant
An 8-year-old Baltimore boy who lost his hands and feet to infection when he was 2 will now know what it's like to be able to pet a dog, throw a football or climb on the swing set at school.
Zion Harvey was given the world's first double hand transplant at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.
A team of 40 doctors, nurses and reconstruction specalists were guided by Dr. L. Scott Levin, the chair of orthopedic surgery at Penn Medicine (the medical school for the University of Pennsylvania).
"We know what we have to do today," Dr. L. Scott Levin told his troops before the 10-hour operation began. "I know everybody assembled here has a commitment to this patient and making this a reality for this little boy. We can have complications. We can fail. We can have trouble. But we're not planning on it."
Zion had already survived a kidney transplant and mastered using prosthetic legs.
"It was Zion's decision," thie boy's mother Pattie Ray told the Baltimore Sun. "If he wanted them we were going to get them. If he didn't we weren't."
Zion informed his mother that because he now had hands, he wants a puppy and wants to play football.

Officer Buys Diapers, Shoes for Mom of 6 Caught Shoplifting
When Sarah Robinson of Kansas City, Kanasa was caught shoplifting at a Walmart store after running out of diapers for her 2-year-old daughter, she feared going to jail and the loss of her family.
"My heart just dropped. I didn't know what to say or do. It was horrible. I thought I was going to jail," said Robinson.
Instead, she ran into an angel wearing a badge.
Officer Mark Engravalle of the Roeland Park Police Department arrived at the Walmart after answering the shoplifting call. As he spoke to Robinson, the officer noticed that some of her children were not wearing shoes. It led him to ask about her situation rather than what she was doing inside the store.
"He noticed [what she stole] were necessities like diapers, shoes for the kids, some clothing," John Demoss, Roeland Park public information officer, told ABC News. "He asked her what the situation was, and she broke down crying."
Officer Engravalle had to do his job but instead of arresting and taking Robinson to the station, he gave her a citation for misdemeanor threat. Then he walked back into the Walmart. He bought diapers, baby wipes and clothes for the children.
"The officer had two children of his own, and he thought of his two kids," Demoss said. "He thought it was the right thing to do."
"He couldn't have been nicer to my girls," Robinson said. "And then I got a call the next day saying they wanted to help us further and help us get a place to live."
Two local radio stations then stepped up to raise items for the family. One station collected over $6,000 in items for the family.

Cleveland Browns Sign Youngest Player in NFL History
The average age of an NFL player took a huge dip on Tuesday when the Cleveland Browns signed 9-year-old Dylan Sutcliffe to a one-day contract.
"We're excited to add another quality player to our roster as we prepare for the 2015 season," said General Manager Ray Farmer. "When we first connected with Dylan, it was clear he was a competitor who had all of the right attributes to be a contributor to our team."
"Dylan is definitely a young man who has all of the 'Play Like a Brown' traits, particularly through his passion, toughness and relentlessness." said Head Coach Mike Pettine. "We look forward to seeing him bring that energy to practice this afternoon."
Dylan was receiving a gift from the Make-A-Wish foundation. Dylan has ataxia telangiectasia (A-T), a immunodeficiency disease that impacts a number of different organs. His brother Sean also has the disease.
"Day-to-day, they just require a lot more attention," said Dylan's father, Derek. "Helping them eat, helping them get dressed, helping them go to the bathroom. Anytime they have to get up out of a chair and walk somewhere."
The team brought Dylan to their practice complex in a limo, gave him a tour of the facility and a locker with his own #7 jersey. No player on the team this season wears #7 so he'll be a unique member of the club.
Dylan's favorite player is defensive lineman Phil Taylor, who took Dylan under his wing during practice. At the end of the day, Taylor lifted Dylan from his wheelchair and held him in the air while the team gathered around and did the Browns cheer.

Man's Blood Saves Two Million Babies
An Australian man is being called "the Man with the Golden Arm" for saving two million newborns because of donating his plasma.
James Harrison has a rare blood type that contains life-saving antibodies. Doctors believe that Harrison somehow developed the antibody during an operation at age 14 where he had a lung removed.
Now, Harrison's blood is used to create the vaccine Anti-D. The vaccine is used to treat pregnant women with a blood disease that can lead to complications. Harrison has donated every week for the last 60 years, over 1,000 times.
"In Australia, up until about 1967, there were literally thousands of babies dying each year. Doctors didn't know why, and it was awful," Jemma Falkenmire, of the Australian Red Cross Blood Service, told CNN. "Women were having numerous miscarriages, and babies were being born with brain damage."
The condition is called Rhesus disease and happens when a woman has rhesus-negative blood and her baby has rhesus-positive blood. The mother can produce antibodies that begin to attack the baby. The Anti-D vaccine prevents the antibodies that attack the baby from developing.
"It makes you feel good yourself that you've saved a life there, and you've saved many more— and that's great," Harrison, who added he does not see himself as a hero, told CNN.
The Australian Red Cross says that 17 percent of Australian women are risk for the disease and they hope another donor can be found before Harrison reaches 81, the age limit for blood donation in the country.

Jewish Woman Gets Doctorate Denied By Nazis
102-year-old Ingeborg Syllm-Rapoport is now a doctor.
Eight decades after she should have earned that honor.
In 1938, she was denied the change to defend her doctoral thesis by the Nazis. Her crime? She was part-Jewish. Now, the University of Hamburg has given the neonatologist a doctorate after she passed an oral exam.
"After almost 80 years, it was possible to restore some extent of justice," Burkhard Goeke, the medical director of the university's hospital, said in his speech. "We cannot undo injustices that have been committed, but our insights into the past shape our perspective for the future."
Syllm-Rapaport said that she did it for more than herself, but for all those who suffered injustice at the hands of the Nazis.
"For me personally, the degree didn't mean anything, but to support the great goal of coming to terms with history — I wanted to be part of that," Syllm-Rapoport told German public television station NDR.
Uwe Koch-Gromus, the university's dean of the medical faculty, was asked about her oral exam on the subject of diptheria, the subject of her original doctoral thesis.
"She was brilliant, and not only for her age," he said. "We were impressed with her intellectual alertness, and left speechless by her expertise — also with regard to modern medicine."
Taking her grades into account, she was graduated magna cum laude.

Texas Cop Attends Graduation For Teen Who Lost His Parents
A Texas police officer went the extra mile when he attended the graduation of a senior who recently lost his parents.
Only a few days before Kazzie Portie's high school graduation, officer Eric Ellison delivered bad news to the 18-year-old: Portie's parents had been killed in a car accident. Without his parents to attend his upcoming graduation, Portie wasn't sure if he would walk on stage. However, Ellison stepped in and encouraged the young man.
"I said, 'You're going to walk!' Your mom and dad will have front-row seats looking down from heaven, and I'll stand in their place. I've got your back," Ellison told BuzzFeed News.
Portie not only received his diploma on Friday, but he also received a hug from Officer Ellison in front of a standing ovation from the audience.
"Seeing Officer Ellison there to congratulate me meant the world to me," Portie stated to BuzzFeed News. "It was so nice to see that he actually showed a genuine care for me and my family's situation instead of just being another 'case.'"
Portie intends on attending college.

New England Teens Invite Friends With Special Needs To Prom
What was once a night of dresses, tuxes, partying, and popularity has now been redefined as a night to reach out and include everyone in the festivities.
Matty Marcone, a student in Canton, Massachusetts, has special needs and several medical issues. He never dreamed that he was going to be asked to prom, but his friend and classmate, Kaitlin McCarthy, changed that.
Kaitlin invited Matty to Prom after he claimed he was going to buy Disney World for her.
"I said, if he's going to buy Disney World for me, I should bring him to the prom," said Kaitlin.
With the help of the hockey team, special education teachers, and school nurses, Matty was able to attend prom with Kaitlin and other friends. Matty and Kaitlin were voted Prom King and Prom Queen.
While Matty was invited to prom by Kaitlin, another special needs teen in New York was about to get asked to prom as well.
Michael Pagano has autism and had been rejected by several girls he had asked to prom. However, senior and friend, Sarah Kardonsky, had a plan to invite Michael to the prom.
Michael is a New York Jets fan, which led Sarah to asking the Jets players via Instagram to help her make a video prom invitation. Nine Jets players total sent videos to Sarah asking Michael if he would go to the dance with her.
And while this invitation to prom led to national publicity, including a spot on a popular daytime television show, Sarah was more concerned that her friend was happy.
"People who worry so much about what dress to wear or who to go with, that's not what prom is about. Prom is about having a good time. You should just be surrounded by people who make you happy."

Thousands Gather At Lincoln Memorial For Easter Sunrise Service
A celebration of the risen Lord stood boldly in the nation's capital Sunday as over 7,000 Christians gathered at the Lincoln Memorial at sunrise.
The service, organized by Capital Church in nearby Vienna, Virginia, began at 6:30 a.m. and latest an hour and a half. Worship was lead by Newsboys lead singer Michael Tait plus a choir, orchestra and band.
"Washington, D.C. is arguably the one most influential cities in the world and I do believe it is important in the heart of the most influential city of the world to declare on Easter morning our faith in the risen Lord," Capital Church Pastor Amos Dodge told The Christian Post. "I think it is important to reclaim some of our own spiritual heritage and we do that from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and declare our faith and trust in Jesus Christ, who died and rose again."
Dodge's sermon focused on the fact that Christianity is the only religion in the world where their God is not dead.
"Christianity is unique in that we know that Muhammad may have said some wonderful things and done some wonderful things, but he is in a tomb. Confucius was noted for wise sayings but nobody has heard from him in a long, long time," Dodge declared. "When you compare the claims of Jesus Christ to all the religions in the world, no other religion has a risen savior, the one who came back from the dead."
"You can trust a man who died for you," Dodge continued. "Jesus died for us and then came back from the grave."
The Easter Sunrise Service at the Lincoln Memorial began in 1979. Pastor Dodge had been walking past the Lincoln reflecting pool during a spring day and God gave him the vision of the service. The first service had 150 people in attendance.
This year, the service welcomed Christians from all 50 states.

Хосе Хавьер «Чучо» Акасусо (; родился 20 октября 1982 года в Посадасе, Аргентина) — аргентинский теннисист; победитель восьми турниров ATP (из них три в одиночном разряде); двукратный обладатель Командного Кубка мира (2002, 2007) в составе национальной сборной Аргентины.

Общая информация
Хосе Хавьер — один из трёх детей Сельвы Моники и Хосе Андреса Акасусо; его сестру зовут Габриэла, а брата — Хуан Андрес.

Отец впервые познакомил своего сына с теннисом в два года. Маленького Хосе привели в теннисный клуб дедушки. До его двенадцатилетия всячески содействовал занятиям Хосе игрой в баскетбол и футбол, и лишь затем предложил сделать выбор. Любимое покрытие аргентинца — грунт.

Спортивная карьера
Первые профессиональные турниры на взрослом уровне сыграл в 1999 году. На дебютном в основной сетке турнире ATP-тура он смог сразу же дойти до финала. Произошло это в феврале 2001 года в родной для него Аргентине на турнире в Буэнос-Айресе, где в финале он проиграл бразильцу и № 2 в мире Густаво Куэртену — 1:6, 3:6. В апреле после выигрыша на «челленджере» на Бермудах Акасусо впервые поднялся в первую сотню мирового рейтинга. В том же году он дебютировал на турнирах Большого шлема, сыграв на Открытом чемпионате Франции.

В мае 2002 года Акасусо помог команде Аргентины выиграть Командный кубок мира, а в финале на отказе соперника в третьем сете смог переиграть вторую ракетку мира Марата Сафина. В июле он выиграл первый титул в основном туре, взяв его на турнире в польском Сопоте. В финале он переиграл своего соотечественника Франко Скильяри — 2:6, 6:1, 6:3. Также в этом году Акасусо дошёл до финала ещё на двух турнирах. В Бухаресте Хосе проиграл Давиду Ферреру — 3:6, 2:6, а в Палермо чилийцу Фернандо Гонсалесу — 7:5, 3:6, 1:6. 2002 год он завершил на 41-м месте в рейтинге. За 2003 год лучшим результатом аргентинца стал выход в полуфинал турнира в Бухаресте в сентябре. К концу сезона он потерял место в топ-100.

В 2004 году Акасусо смог улучшить результаты. В феврале он вышел в полуфинал турнира в Буэнос-Айресе и после этого вернулся в первую сотню. Затем он сыграл в полуфинале на турнире в Коста-ду-Сауипе. В июле удалось выиграть первый титул в туре в парном разряде. В паре с бразильцем Флавио Сареттой он победил на турнире в хорватском Умаге. В августе аргентинец сумел выйти в финал турнира в Сопоте, где на этот раз его ждало поражение от испанца Рафаэля Надаля (3:6, 4:6). Менее чем через месяц он выиграл второй титул в карьере — на турнире в Бухаресте, обыграв в финале россиянина Игоря Андреева (6:3, 6:0).

В феврале 2005 года Акасусо вновь вышел в 1/2 финала в Буэнос-Айресе. В апреле на турнире в Барселоне Акасусо обыграл № 3 в мире Марата Сафина и попал в третий раунд. В мае на турнире в Санкт-Пёльтене он вышел в полуфинал. Затем на Открытом чемпионате Франции Акасусо единственный раз в карьере вышел в четвёртый раунд Большого шлема в одиночном разряде. На своим пути среди прочих он обыграл в сложном матче второго раунда третьего в мире Энди Роддика. Их матч закончился только в пятом сете при счёте 8-6 в пользу Акасусо. В июле вместе с земляком Себастьяном Прието Хосе выиграл парный титул в Штутгарте. В августе на турнире в Цинциннати он впервые в карьере вышел в четвертьфинал серии Мастерс. В сентябре В Бухаресте Акасусо взял ещё один парный титул в дуэте с Прието.

В феврале 2006 года Акасусо удалось сделать «победный дубль» на турнире в чилийском Винья-дель-Маре. В одиночном финале он переиграл местного теннисиста Николаса Массу (6:4, 6:3), а в парном разряде выиграл соревнование в команде с Прието. В мае Акасусо хорошо сыграл на мастерсе в Гамбурге, где смог выйти в полуфинал, а во втором раунде разгромил пятую ракетку мира Ивана Любичича (6:2, 6:0). В июле он дошёл до финала на турнире в Штутгарте, где проиграл Давиду Ферреру. В августе удалось выйти в четвертьфинал мастерса в Торонто и после этого на одну неделю смог войти в топ-20 мирового рейтинга. Весь сезон Акасусо выступал в составе сборной Аргентины в Кубке Дэвиса и смог выйти со своей командой в финал (выиграл три одиночных и один парный матч. В матче со сборной России за главный командный кубок он сыграл решающий пятый матч против Марата Сафина, однако смог взять только один сет и победа досталась россиянам.

В августе 2007 года Акасусо третий раз в карьере вышел в финал турнира в Сопоте и второй раз проиграл в нём — на этот раз Томми Робредо (5:7, 0:6). В феврале 2008 года удалось выиграть парный приз турнира в Винья-дель-Маре совместно с Прието. На турнире в Буэнос-Айресе он вышел в одиночный финал, где матч против Давида Налбандяна закончился неудачей (6:3, 6:7, 4:6). На следующем турнире в Акапулько он доиграл до полуфинала. В сентябре он сыграл в полуфинале турнира в Бухаресте. В 2008 году Акасусо второй раз в карьере сыграл в финале Кубка Дэвиса и, как и в финале 2006 года, после его матча соперники (на этот раз сборная Испании и Фернандо Вердаско) стали обладателями Кубка.

В феврале 2009 года Акасусо удалось дойти до финала турнира Винья-дель-Маре, где проиграл чилийцу Фернандо Гонсалесу (1:6, 3:6). На следующих турнирах в Коста-ду-Сауипе, Буэнос-Айресе и Акапулько он доиграл до полуфинала. На Открытом чемпионате Франции с чилийцем Фернандо Гонсалесом он смог выйти в четвертьфинал в парном разряде, однако этот матч они не смогли сыграть, снявшись с турнира. В августе Акасусо неплохо сыграл на харде в Нью-Хэйвене, где он выиграл четыре матча подряд и вышел в полуфинал. На Открытом чемпионате США его результатом стал выход в третий раунд. С 2010 года уровень выступлений Акасусо упал и он упал за пределы топ-100. Последние матчи на профессиональном уровне он сыграл в 2011 году.

We determine the decomposition numbers for the Brauer and walled Brauer algebras in characteristic zero in terms of certain polynomials associated to cap and curl diagrams (recovering a result of Martin in the Brauer case). We consider a second family of polynomials associated to such diagrams, and use these to determine projective resolutions of the standard modules. We then relate these two families of polynomials to Kazhdan–Lusztig theory via the work of Lascoux–Schützenberger and Boe, inspired by work of Brundan and Stroppel in the cap diagram case.
