After months of rumors, the Manny Machado sweepstakes may finally be in the home stretch. Contenders are lining up for the opportunity to add Machado, as MLB Network insider Jon Heyman reports in an article for Fancred Sports that the Orioles have at least seven -- and possibly as many as nine -- offers for the All-Star shortstop.
Here's a rough breakdown of how Heyman gauges the top competitors with just a few weeks to go before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Chris Taylor has capably handled the shortstop position since Corey Seager underwent season-ending Tommy John surgery earlier this season, but he can move elsewhere to accommodate Machado. In addition to upgrading the Dodgers' roster, a trade for Machado would ensure he doesn't end up with the D-backs, Los Angeles' top competition in the National League West and another reported Machado suitor. While their farm system may not be as strong as the Yankees', the Dodgers still have some intriguing names to offer, including outfielder Alex Verdugo (the Dodgers' No. 1 prospect, No. 27 overall, per MLB Pipeline), middle infielder Gavin Lux (the Dodgers' No. 12 prospect) and pitcher Dustin May (the Dodgers' No. 10 prospect).
Although the rotation remains the Yankees' biggest area of need, a trade for Machado may be the best way for New York to keep pace with the AL East-leading Red Sox, given the lackluster market for starting pitchers. Machado's preference to remain at shortstop could be a potential complication, as the Yankees are interested in acquiring Machado to play third base. Still, the club is a realistic player after making a "strong offer" for Machado, one that doesn't include Clint Frazier or Justus Sheffield (the Yankees' No. 2 prospect, No. 39 overall), according to Heyman. New York's interest may only grow if Boston ramps up its pursuit -- which has reportedly been tepid to this point -- now that third baseman Rafael Devers is on the disabled list with left shoulder inflammation.
The Brewers have had major issues up the middle this season, sending shortstop Orlando Arcia to the Minors twice and struggling to find a permanent second baseman. Machado would solve one of those problems, and the Brewers may have the young talent to get a deal done even if they don't include second baseman Keston Hiura (the Brewers' No. 1 prospect, No. 30 overall).
The connection between Machado and several members of the Phillies' front office -- including general manager Matt Klentak -- from their days in the Orioles organization is well documented, as is Philadelphia's need for an upgrade on the left side of the infield. But it remains to be seen if the club is willing to accelerate its rebuild by trading multiple prospects for a player who can become a free agent after this season.
With Patrick Corbin and A.J. Pollock due to hit free agency after this season and Paul Goldschmidt and Zack Greinke both in their 30s, the D-backs may look to make a win-now move by dealing for Machado. Adding a "rental" player certainly worked out well for Arizona last year, as J.D. Martinez helped the club make the postseason for the first time since 2011 before signing with the Red Sox in the offseason. However, the club's prospect group isn't as strong as some of the other teams on this list.
The Indians remain in the mix, but the combination of a middling farm system, monetary restrictions and Francisco Lindor's presence at shortstop make Cleveland an unlikely destination for Machado, especially given the club's major need for relief pitching.
The rotation and bullpen are arguably bigger needs, and it's assumed the Cubs want to stay under the $197 million luxury-tax threshold, making Chicago another unlikely landing spot for Machado. Deals for Albertin Chapman in 2016 and Jose Quintana in 2017 have greatly weakened the Cubs' farm system, which likely means Chicago would have to include Addison Russell in any trade for the Orioles shortstop, as Heyman notes.

JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) — British Foreign Secretary Liz Truss met with Indonesian officials on Thursday and discussed closer cooperation in future technologies, cybersecurity and economic relations as part of British efforts to deepen ties to Southeast Asia after leaving the European Union.
Truss said she and Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi discussed a roadmap for closer cooperation.
"We need to make sure that technology standards are shaped by the free world. And we want to work together with Indonesia in areas like cyber and also the next generation of technologies, whether that's 5G, 6G or indeed areas like artificial intelligence and quantum," Truss said at a news conference. 5G and 6G are technology standards for new cellular phone networks.
"We are also launching a new joint working group on counterterrorism and a cyber dialogue as well," Truss said.
The British foreign secretary also met with President Joko Widodo and discussed closer cooperation in vaccines and biotechnology, the presidential palace said.
Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country, is Truss's last stop in a weeklong visit to Southeast Asia to deepen economic and security relations. She earlier visited Malaysia and Thailand.
"Deeper ties are a win-win, delivering jobs and opportunities for British people while ensuring an open, secure and prosperous Indo-Pacific," she said before her trip. "Working with key Southeast Asia partners will help us promote freedom and democracy across the world."
Marsudi said bilateral trade as well as investment from Britain have been growing despite the coronavirus pandemic.
During her visit to Jakarta, Truss also met with the secretary general of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Lim Jock Hoi, to build on the U.K.'s recent designation as one of the 10-nation bloc's "dialogue partners" and to discuss working together on the political crisis in Myanmar since its army seized power in February.
In their talks, Marsudi and Truss said they agreed on the importance of implementing an ASEAN consensus on restoring democracy in Myanmar. Myanmar has refused to cooperate with an envoy appointed by ASEAN to help mediate.

WATCH: Lifeboat rescues yacht trapped beside Liberation
Storm Francis has been causing lots of problems for mariners this week, with one unusual incident involving the Condor Liberation.
In the high winds and turbulent seas, a 36ft yacht broke free of its moorings in Poole, and drifted close to the Channel Islands' ferry as it was docked, becoming trapped between the larger Condor vessel and a barge.
The RNLI launched their D-Class boat to deal with it, before it caused serious damage. They described the conditions as "rough", with the winds gusting force 6 to 8, and the waves bouncing off the wall.
Video: The rescue underway. (RNLI)
The RNLI described what happened next: "When the lifeboat arrived on scene they went to the sheltered side of the Ro-Ro terminal and put a member of crew ashore to access the vessel, a line was put across using a heaving line, the lifeboat then towed the yacht off the wall and brought it to a mooring in the close by Port of Poole Marina.
"It was evident that the vessel had broken away from its mooring as there was a broken shackle on the bow and as it was all locked up, it appeared that nobody had been on-board."
That was just one of three call-outs for the RNLI in Poole on Tuesday afternoon. They also went to help a dinghy which was reported to be capsized on its moorings, and a 23ft yacht that had escaped its tether and was now drifting to the west of the Condor Liberation.
The lifeboat managed to get alongside and attach a line to it, towing it back to port. They moored it next to the other casualty of Storm Francis as it had sustained serious damage.
Volunteer Helm Jonathan Clark said: "Conditions out there were lively; the condition of the vessels would have been a lot worse, if they had been left any longer, pounding against the wall and barge. We would advise all boat owners, when it's safe to do so, to check their moorings, make sure that their mooring lines, ropes and chains are in good condition and of adequate size, for your vessel."

The fairy tale of Sleeping Beauty is brought to life on stage by this Moscow City Ballet troupe.
Probably one of the best known stories for many of us. We are treated to the music of Pyotr Tchaikovsky beautifully executed by The Hungarian Simfonieta under the masterful direction of conductor Ivan Shavruk. Only 12 rows from the front I did have a slight concern that the music may have been overpowering, I was wrong it was perfect.
The set created of many backdrops of forests and then buildings is simple yet beautiful , the colours used create an ethereal fairy land feel to the proceedings.
There is a big ensemble for this production with some fabulous dancers that look as if they are literally mirror images of each other, perfect timing and seamless movements. There were a couple that looked left out as they had very little to do apart from hand gestures.
The Goodness /Lilac Fairy (Polina Dyachkora) gets my vote as being the one that really set the stage alight with her beautiful expressions, such a graceful dancer that covered so much of the stage. She was simply spellbinding to watch.
Caraboose (Kirill Kasatkin) is such a great baddie! His movements and expressions create exactly the atmosphere of danger, delivered with perfect comedy timing as well . The scenes with him and the dancers are eerie with a hint of danger.
Princess Aurora (Polina Tokareva) has immense poise and strength as she dances alone, not so much when she dances with Prince Florimund (Talgat Kozhabaev) . He dances with strength and composure that commands respect of the stage but together they just didn't seem comfortable.
The costumes in this production are wonderful if a bit traditional so much so that the whole production had a cosy almost Christmas feel to it.
I absolutely loved this as did so many of the young ballet dancers in the audience.

sponsored schools
by Scott Miller Last updated Aug. 3, 2019
$ $ Medium: Public Optometry Tuition Runs $10,700-$20,200 a Year $ $ $ High: Private Optometry Schools Run $15,000-$29,1000 a Year
The eye doctors, officially known as optometrists examine, diagnose and treat the eye through medication, therapy or surgery.
According to the Association of Schools and Colleges of Optometry, after getting a Doctor of Optometry degree, a variety of specialized fields are available from geriatrics to occupational vision or pediatrics.
Only eighteen universities in the US have accredited optometry schools and thus the competition is tough.
In addition to the high undergraduate scores, a personal essay and letters of recommendation, applicants must take the Optometrist Admission Test in order to be considered for the four-year program in one of the public or private universities.
The public optometry school tuition, sponsored in part by state tax dollars, runs between $10,700-$20,200 for residents annually or approx. $42,000-$74,800 for the complete program, while non residents should pay between $22,400-$43,400 annually, totaling $89,600-$173,600.
Indiana University School of Optometry in-state tuition costs approx. $16,000 annually or $64,000 to reach the degree, while non-residents are charged approx. $30,560 annually or $122,240 for four years.
At the top of the scale stands the University of California-Berkeley, which charges $20,200 annually for residents or $80,800 for the complete program; while non-residents pay $32,500 annually or approx. $130,000 during the four years.
At the same time, the optometry school fees and tuition at private universities run $15,000-$29,100 annually or $60,000-$116,400 for the four-year program for residents and $20,000-$29,100 annually or $80,000– $116,400 for a degree for non residents.
Certain private schools have only one fee schedule for residents and non-residents.
On the other economical end is the Southern College of Optometry in Memphis, Tennessee where the tuition and fees for residents are approx. $15,500 per year, totaling around $62,000, while non residents pay around $20,450 annually or $81,800 for the four-year program.
Western University of Health Sciences charges $27,700 per year or $110,800 for the complete Doctor of Optometry (OD) program, while tuition at Pennsylvania College of Optometry at Salus University costs $29,500 annually or $118,000 for four years.
Books purchased during optometry school become a personal reference library at the start of a student's career.
The supplies include the equipment needed to examine, diagnose and treat eyes; along with the books and supplies the sum is approx. $2,300-$6,280 per year during the first two years, around $1,060-$1,600 the third year and dropping to near $400-$1,780 the fourth — totaling $6,000-$16,000 overall, depending on the school.
Students also can take the national board during their second, third and fourth years at approx. $625 each year or $1,875 overall.
The license and certification fees in the fourth year are around $400.
The complete National Board of Examiners in Optometry exams, taken in several sections, cost approx. $3,600.
The American Academy of Optometry keeps online information on scholarships, awards, and grants for optometry students.
Some schools have programs which allow students from out of the area to either enter as a resident or become a resident during their studies.
Try the individual school's admissions requirements for complete information.
Before applying for most awards or loans, a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) needs to be completed.

Nonprofit Compensation: How Much is Too Much?
With Federal, State and Local budget deficits at all-time highs, governments are looking for justification for budget cuts by rationalizing that nonprofits are not running as lean as they should. In an effort to address scrutiny of Nonprofit executive compensation, the Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, recently introduced Executive Order 38 to place limits on the total compensation an executive of a nonprofit doing business in New York State can receive.
This raises significant questions: How did we to get to this point? Why is government intervening on proper board governance?
Recently, the press has reported instances of excessive compensation practiced by some nonprofit organizations. Responding to a New York Times article about executive compensation paid by a nonprofit provider serving the developmentally disabled, Governor Cuomo created a compensation task force to investigate executive compensation packages at not-for-profit entities that receive State taxpayer support. The task force collected and reviewed detailed executive compensation information from thousands of not-for-profit entities that receive funding from the State. Although the task force data has not been released, many believe that highly publicized abuses are just outliers and not indicative of an industry in peril.
So why do we need more government intervention?
In most cases, this intervention is unnecessary. Responsible nonprofits and their boards know how to act accordingly. Many of our clients have responded to the budget freezes and/or cuts by holding the line on compensation increases, eliminating vacant positions and reducing administrative costs.
Historically, executive compensation has been determined by the board of directors of a nonprofit organization. The board has a responsibility to determine that the compensation is reasonable, and to document that conclusion. This is a requirement under section 4958 of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury Regulation section 53.4958-6 when determining compensation of executives. Under this test, compensation payments are presumed to be reasonable if the compensation arrangement is approved in advance by an authorized body composed entirely of individuals who do not have a conflict of interest with respect to the arrangement, the authorized body obtained and relied upon appropriate comparability data prior to making a determination, and the authorized body adequately documented the basis for its determination concurrently with the determination.
Many more Non Profits are electing to perform annual compensation studies provided by compensation experts. This is a vital tool not only to protect the organization from outside scrutiny of funding sources, but also to give the organization an important benchmark in planning for the retention or succession of key employees and the impact on future budgets.
Do you think government intervention is warranted?

My husband and I are on our 1-year anniversary vacation, and are coming to the end of a week long trip to Newport, Oregon.
For the trip, I packed 28 perfumes to choose from (not full-bottles!). I've worn three, but only one consistently: Safran Troublant.
I have some trouble with Olivia Giacobetti's fragrances, and it's the same trouble with each one (Dzing!, Vamp A NY, and ST, so far)… they're stunningly beautiful, transparent, unusual, and overall excellent, but they don't have that punchy edge I tend to like in my personal fragrances.
Having tried Safran Troublant many times before this trip, I wasn't anticipating changing my mind about it; I brought it along because I have to have a few dozen to choose from—just one of my newish neurosis. One day I was wearing it, and fell asleep during mid-day after an adventurous morning. I was dreaming about a wonderful smell, creamy and delicious. In the dream I was following after it, trying to get to the source. I woke up, and my wrist was planted next to my nose: it was Safran Troublant! After that dreamy experience, I've been wearing it every day, applying two or three times a day. Dream-like is a good way to think about this particular work, or really, probably any of OG's work.
I love the blast of saffron and spices in the early stages, the persistent delicate rose all the way through, and the creamy velvet dry-down that smells like my skin, only better.
When I started seriously collecting perfumes, I was very much in the "This works for me"/"This doesn't work for me" camp. I'm excited to find that I'm not only learning to appreciate fragrances that "don't work for me," but I'm learning to love a new way of wearing perfume.
I like the way Chandler Burr put it (to grossly paraphrase): There's the classic French style, where you wear the perfume like you wear clothing; you put it on and it's beautiful (this is where I started). Then there's the modern style, where you put on a perfume, and you smell good. The scent becomes a part of you, a better smelling you.
A total hack job (sorry Chandler) but it illustrates what I'm experiencing. I think I'll probably always favor the powerhouse classics, but I'm growing. As my wallet shrinks. ST will likely be my purchase during the next visit to Perfume House later this month.
This good summary assited me a lot! Saved the blog, extremely excellent categories just about everywhere that I see here! I like the information, thank you.


While symphony concerts have gained a reputation of being boring or stuffy, the Fargo-Moorhead Symphony Orchestra (FMSO) is proving these outdated beliefs are wrong. Let's learn more about the FMSO with Executive Director Linda Boyd.
How did the FMSO come to be?
Linda Boyd: The symphony started as a group of local musicians playing together for fun nearly 100 years ago. In 1931, the group officially incorporated, making the organization 87 years young.
In what ways can people get involved — on stage or off?
LB: If you are in your 20s or 30s, we have a special networking group just for you called Urban Overture. On the Wednesday prior to each Masterworks Series concert, we host an Urban Overture event, where we offer a free wine tasting, appetizers and a short performance featuring guest artists. These events are free for ages 21-39, as we are hoping to introduce more young adults to the excitement the symphony has to offer. As an Urban Overture member, you also get special discounted tickets. You can join us as a guest, or we are always looking for volunteers to help us ensure the event runs smoothly.
Aside from Urban Overture, we have volunteer opportunities for people of all ages, from helping with our annual Young Artists Solo Competition to planning the pre-party festivities for Symphony Rocks.
How do live entertainment options affect a community and the culture?
LB: Live performances of all kinds reflect the personality and vibrancy of a community and go a long way toward establishing its identity. Memphis, Seattle, Nashville, Austin, New Orleans and Chicago are all cities that are known, in part, for their signature musical scene and sound.
Fargo, on a somewhat smaller scale, has an identity of its own as a place where young entrepreneurs interact with a progressive establishment — which can also describe its rich and varied musical scene.
What about FM Symphony specifically adds to the culture of Fargo-Moorhead? What's unique about it?
LB: Having a top-notch symphony orchestra in the community is kind of like having a six-time national championship football team — it gives people the opportunity to experience breathtaking excellence in performance right before their eyes, over and over.
If you have never been to a symphony concert, you might think it would be a stiff and formal, maybe boring or even intimidating experience.
"Christopher introduced the guest artists, men from Turkey, Macedonia and Syria — parts of the world I have no personal connection to and only know through news coverage. But I can't honestly say that isn't true anymore. Syrian composer Malek Jandali's talk moved me to tears as he referenced an ancient Syrian melody that could be heard in the centuries-old Jewish temples, Christian churches and Muslim mosques, all on the same streets of Syrian towns, and all now completely destroyed.
"But do you know what lives on, beyond the hate and destruction? That melody lives on because he wove it into his stunning piece, 'Variations for Piano and Orchestra.' Somehow, in the midst of absolute destruction, this melody, one that has sustained people through time and tragedy, across the centuries, was played by our symphony, people who live and work in our community.

Q: Scaling text to fit within FabricJS Textbox when changing text value programmatically I am using a FabricJS Textbox in my canvas application to allow users to edit text.  This is working fantastically for me, as I want text to wrap during editing, and wrap/unwrap as the width of the box is shrunken and expanded.
However, I have a secondary use case that I need some guidance on.
Occasionally, I need to replace the text in the textbox programmatically.  In this scenario, I do not want the textbox to wrap text or expand when the text is too long for the width.  Instead, I would like to reduce the fontSize so that the text fits on one line.
Note: I only do this text replacement once when the canvas is loaded (or just before in the JSON).
I currently handle this with IText using the following code, but I cannot seem to modify it in a way that works reliably with Textbox.  I also lose out on the fantastic text wrapping if I use IText, which is why I'm evaluating this.
const handleTextChanged = ({ target }: { target: fabric.Object }) => {
  const { fixedWidth, width, fontSize } = target

  if (width > fixedWidth) {
    // Shrink the font size to stay within the max width
    target.fontSize = Math.round((fontSize * fixedWidth) / (width + 1))
  }

  target.width = fixedWidth
}

Is there a way to achieve something like this using just Textbox?  That is, I would like to keep text wrapping and unwrapping functionality during normal editing, but I would also like to load text in programmatically and have the font size scale to fit the box when I load the canvas.

A: const originalWidth = element.width;
   element.set({ objectCaching: false, text: data2.value.toString() })
   if (element.textLines.length > 1) {
   do {
   element.set({ width: element.width + 5 });
   }
   while (element.textLines.length > 1);
   element.set({ scaleX: originalWidth / element.width });
   }

Eat Florida Elementary School Cafeteria Served Rice Laced With Mealworms
Florida Elementary School Cafeteria Served Rice Laced With Mealworms
Parents plan on packing their childrens' lunches for the foreseeable future.
Khushbu Shah
If you didn't think school cafeteria meals could get any more disgusting… brace. Here is some news that is worse than the shady meat that goes into school chicken nuggets: A student at an elementary school in Florida found a dead mealworm in his rice. According to UPI, school employees then found a slew of live meals worms in its supply of uncooked rice.
Winter Park, Florida, student found cooked mealworm in school lunch rice https://t.co/H58gTmA8wZ pic.twitter.com/vDlzvn7pYy
— UPI.com (@UPI) December 9, 2015
Kelly Steinke, the principal of Killanery Elementary School in Winter Park, sent a letter to parents yesterday explaining that the school, and every other school in the district, has recalled the rice. She claims that the rice was delivered to the elementary school in the past 24 hours "leading officials to believe that the worms were already in the food when it arrived." While that may be the case, it's disturbing to think that no one checked the rice while cooking it. Steinke added that the rice was replaced with a different item shortly after the worm was found.
Mmhhhhh Mealworm in my cereal… #yum #mealworm #philly #Philadelphia #critter
A photo posted by Jon Ristaino (@joncr_philly) on Jul 21, 2015 at 9:39am PDT
While the mealworms are non-toxic, parents plan on packing their kids' lunches. One mother, Shauna Jackson, tells WFTV that she is afraid mealworms are just the start: "It makes you wonder what else is in there." Jackson then threw shade at the school's staff: "I feel like somebody should have seen it when they first opened the container. And if not, then somebody should have seen it when it was being cooked… I mean, it took a child to bring it up."
Mealworms aside, the U.S. needs to step up its school lunch game in general. Compared to other countries, our diets of chicken nuggets, fruit in weird syrup, and maybe a smattering of peas looks downright sad. In Greece, students are fed items like yogurt with pomegranate seeds, while in France they are given steak and brie cheese. In the Ukraine, they swap limp hot dogs for a meal of mashed potatoes and sausages, while Italian school kids get to feast on things like caprese salad—putting America's steady diet of frozen pretzels and bags of chips to shame.

Cardington girls want to defend league title
MCSSports@civitasmedia.com
New coach Jamie Edwards will try to keep the momentum of the Cardington Lady Pirates rolling after the team finished 17-6 last year and was co-champions of the Mid-Ohio Athletic Conference's Blue Division.
The Pirates did suffer some losses from that squad, though. Kaitlyn Kavanaugh, who was named an honorable mention All-Ohioan, as well as a first-team MOAC player, graduated after averaging 10.6 points and 10.1 rebounds per game. She now is playing for Division II Lourdes University. Also graduated is Jane Perry, who picked up 5.6 points per contest. Junior guard Nadia Kerman will also miss the year after suffering an injury during an open gym, giving Edwards an extra hole in her line-up to fill.
Cardington still has four letter winners returning, though. Sophomore forward Kyndall Spires picked up 7.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game on her way to being named to the District 11 first team and the MOAC's second team. Junior forward Allyson Adams tallied five points and four boards, while senior guard Summer Morgan added 1.7 points and sophomore point guard Sage Brannon picked up five points per game.
"We return two key contributors from last season in our junior class, although we recently lost Nadia Kerman for the season due to an ACL/meniscus tear in our last open gym," said Edwards. "We will look to our lone senior and three-year letter winner, Summer Morgan, as our emotional leader."
Edwards is expecting contributions from sophomore Makayla Conrad and freshman Kynlee Edwards, who averaged 17 points and nine steals per game in middle school. While the coach is going to field a young team this year, he notes that his girls put in a lot of off-season work.
"We look to compete for the Blue Division title," he said. "We may be the youngest team in the Blue Division, but we are very experience. We have three underclassmen that play high-level AAU and I look for that to translate over to help fuel our success."
In the conference, Edwards looks at Elgin and Northmor to be the top competition for a league title.

The Southwest Through Wide Brown Eyes: CR 288 and CR 291; Two Roads off State Highway 95.
CR 288 and CR 291; Two Roads off State Highway 95.
After exploring the various San Juan County roads off of Routes 191 and 491; it was simply a given that we would begin exploring the roads off of State Highway 95. It's the "wanderlust" thing; the "where does this road go" thing; and we are addicted to those things. By the way, if you happen to be an ATV enthusiast, you will love these roads I'm writing about.
Lets me start off with Warren Allen Road (CR 288); it's only 6.5 miles itself and ends on CR 277 which I'll write about at a later date. Basically lined with shrub trees and bushes, an occasional glimpse of a canyon, and pretty boring for the most part when it comes to sight seeing. About 2.4 miles up, you'll come to a split to CR 2571 which will take you back to State Highway 95, or continue on to CR 277. It's the dirt trails leading off to the left and right of these county roads that ATVers will enjoy.
The next road was a lot more scenic, and we got some get views of Cottonwood Canyon; West Water Oil Well Road (CR 291). Sorry folks, no mileage reading for this road; we were having too much of a good time to pay attention to an odometer. There was plenty of evidence though that ATVers love this area.
Standing at the edge of the cliff, taking photos, when suddenly we heard two ravens calling to each other. We turned just in time to watch them take flight over the canyon; it was so silent out there, that the flapping of their wings was the only sound we heard. A slight breeze touched my face, and I wonder if it came from their wings. We didn't move, I didn't take one photo of them; I didn't want to ruin the moment with the click of the camera shutter. Sometimes you just have to enjoy a scene with your senses, and keep it in your memory.

Watch Little Kid Versions of Macklemore and Lil Yachty Party in the "Marmalade" Video
Mini-Mack and Lil Lil Yachty and their posse joyride, steal a football jersey and hit up a pool party at Marshawn Lynch's house
Suburban teen dream duo Macklemore and Lil Yachty joined forced for "Marmalade" last week, and now the collaborative track has been given the music video treatment.
The clip reimagines the pair as youngsters, joyriding through in a fancy car (which seems a little unsafe, especially given Macklemore's recent death-defying road trouble), buying bling, breaking into an NFL stadium to steal a football jersey, then eventually crashing footballer Marshawn Lynch's pad for a pool party.

The dangers of UV to the Eyes
What's the Risk?
Given that the sun's rays are the source for all life on earth, it is strange, but nonetheless true, that an aspect of them can be significantly detrimental to a person's health. Ultraviolet radiation is simply one form of energy which comes from the sun, and its effects have been present in people's health for all of recorded history, though any illuminating research has only taken place in recent decades.
You may have already heard briefly of the harm done to you by UV rays, possibly believing, like many people, that cloudy days reduce the effects they have on you. Though this is true in some conditions, the weather can manipulate the potency of ultraviolet radiation in a variety of different ways. Depending on the type and density of the cloud, some overcast conditions may even amplify the harm caused by UV, by reflecting and refracting the sun's rays.
Harm can also be caused unexpectedly when blanket cloud breaks to release a brief, intense torrent of unblocked ultraviolet energy. Another unfortunately common myth is built around the assumption that the temperature of the weather has a direct effect on how much or how little harm UV rays can cause, when there is actually no link at all.
Skiers can often neglect to take precautions against ultraviolet harm, believing the cold conditions will act as a block from damage, when in fact they are at more risk than most people, given the highly reflective surface of snow. Of course no one can go through life fully avoiding the negative symptoms of something as commonplace as sunlight, so it is important to build a decent understanding of it, and the necessary safeguards to keep its ill effects to a minimum.
In its physical aspects, ultraviolet radiation is very similar to visible light, the main difference being that it does not allow us to see things.
Whereas visible light enables vision and is a kind of radiation composed of every shade of the rainbow, ultraviolet (as you may have guessed by its name) begins after the violet end of the spectrum. As far as the base science goes, UV is electromagnetic radiation, a group that includes light, radio and infrared signals.
Electromagnetic radiation travels in waves, which can be measured and identified by their wavelength, a factor which determines what kind of radiation it is. Different degrees of wavelength, and therefore, intensity, have a wide range of effects on humans; gamma radiation is used in cancer therapy whereas infrared radiation carries signals from a remote to a TV.
In modern times, it is hugely impractical if not impossible to completely avoid UV radiation, however there are some professions which may be at an increased risk to harm, due to the environment they work in or the equipment they are required to use. These professions include; outdoor workers, physiotherapists, plasma torch operators, welders, and many jobs in medicine and the agricultural industry. Further to this, many day to day items you may come into contact with emit UV. Though most of these produce only a small amount and are rarely detrimental to a person's health, they should be avoided for long periods wherever possible. All high-energy UV rays can be divided into one of these three categories:
UVC: The highest energy UV rays, which in high concentrations can be particularly harmful to the eyes and skin. Serious damage from these rays is rare however, as the earth's ozone layer blocks most of them.
UVB: These have slightly longer wavelengths and lower energy than UVC rays, which are weakened slightly by the ozone layer, but commonly reach the earth's surface.
UVA: Much closer physically to visible light rays, and with significantly less energy than the other two categories. However, another trait setting them apart is that they can make it past the cornea of an eye, possibly damaging the lens and retina.
The Dangers
Though most of us have experienced sunburn at some point in our lives, or known someone with a slightly more serious condition, sunlight is much more dangerous than the common attitude would suggest. For example, melanoma is a sun-related cancer recently found to be the most common for women aged 25 to 29. The result of its damage has led to organizations across the world forming with the single focus of curing skin cancer. This and other serious conditions have led to many governments taking steps to raise awareness for the dangerous effects overexposure to sun can have.
One of the more common conditions which can come out of overexposure to UV. Though painful it rarely leads to any serious long-term health problems. Sunburn develops when the exposure to UV is too great to be blocked by the skin's melanin. A person's natural melanin varies by skin tone; the lighter the skin, the more precautions a person should take against sunburn. Aside from this, all skin, no matter what the shade, reacts to overexposure to sunlight by growing hard and leather-like, which often leads to heavy wrinkles in later life.
Sunburn can be an even more serious threat if a person has moles, very fair skin and hair, or a genetic history of skin cancer in their family. Sunlight does not have any set level of UV intensity. This depends on the time of year and location in the world. As you have probably guessed, UV rays are strongest in the peak of summer, but when travelling to a notably hot climate, someone with an existing skin condition should always make sure they have taken that country's seasonal calendar into account.
Medical studies from all parts of the world have shown conclusively that skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, and by no small margin. The diagnosis of skin cancer worldwide is in fact more common than that of lung, prostate, colorectal and kidney cancer combined.
In the UK alone, roughly 13,300 of every 100,000 people were diagnosed with melanoma in 2011. UV radiation has been found to be the most significant factor contributing to the development of skin cancer, and a sharp rise in incidence over the past few years has led scientists to blame a number of factors, such as a decrease in atmospheric ozone levels, the fact that less clothes are worn outdoors, and a general increase in outdoor leisure time. Skin cancers like melanoma are in fact easily preventable, but it is a common and unfortunate mistake to underestimate the damage exposure to UV radiation can cause.
Damage to the eyes
Sunlight is a main source of UV radiation which can cause damage to the tissues of a person's eye. Countless studies have proven that spending a long time in the sun without eye protection can seriously increase the risk of contracting eye diseases, some of which have the possibility of leading to blindness. A recent study by the NHS has shown that in certain conditions even small amounts of sunlight can lead to permanent eye disorders. Many ophthalmology societies across the UK and other European countries have issued warnings on the increased possibility of developing cataracts if the eyes are overexposed to UV rays.
Cataracts are a condition which leads to a loss of transparency in the lens of the eye, clouding a person's vision. Another possible problem UV light can contribute to is a condition called photokeratitis but commonly known as snow blindness, which burns the eye surface. The effects of snow blindness commonly fade after a day or two, but should not be taken trivially, as it can lead to more serious ailments later in life. However, all damage by rays in the UVB category is cumulative, so it is never too late to start maintaining the condition of your eyes.
Wrinkling
A staggering percentage of old-age cosmetic issues can be attributed to damage by sunlight. Overexposure to UV can irreparably change the texture of a person's skin, and severely weaken the natural elastic properties of it. The epidermis (the outermost layer of the skin) commonly thickens, takes on a heavier feeling, and wrinkles due to overexposure to sunlight. The common contrast between a person's skin tone, wrinkles and pigmentation on the upper and lower surfaces of their arms shows the effect UV rays have on the skin over time. This is especially apparent in people with particularly fair skin, where the visible results of sun damage is much more noticeable. Depending on the intensity of UV radiation and length of exposure, sun damage can lead to severe wrinkles and furrows, easy bruising in places, and possibly skin cancer. Again, the aging of the skin is cumulative, so it is advised to start protecting from this kind of harm regardless of your actual age.
Immune system suppression
A few studies have led scientists to believe that sunburn can affect the mobility and function of white blood cells, a critical tool for the body to fight any disease, for up to 24 hours after exposure to the sun. Repeated overexposure may cause irreversible damage to the immune system, and sunburn can severely hinder its function in a certain area of the body.
Photokeratitis
This disease is caused by an inflammation of the cornea, closely related to photoconjunctivitis, which is instead an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the membrane that lines the eyelids and socket. These reactions are fairly similar to sunburn, though the effects are far more severe on the soft skin-like tissues found in the eye. Both conditions are reputed to be extremely painful, but are widely treated, and very rarely cause any considerable, permanent damage to the eye. The most extreme form of photokeratitis is commonly known as snow blindness. As the name suggests, snow blindness is commonly found in skiers and those who live or work in particularly cold conditions, due to the reflective surface of snow. Fresh snow can even reflect up to eighty percent of any UV radiation it comes into contact with. Such overexposure rapidly kills cells on the surface of the eye, and often leads to a temporary blindness, accompanied by an intense burning pain from the dead cells being shed. In most cases, the cells are quickly restored and vision will return in three to four days, however more severe cases can lead to chronic irritation or tearing.
Though there is currently no conclusive evidence, this common cosmetic fault has been linked by some independent studies to UV overexposure. Pterygium is a growth on the conjunctiva, which can extend over the surface of the cornea and impair vision, and sometimes can become inflamed. Though it can be removed by surgery, it tends to reoccur once contracted.
Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world. They cause natural proteins in the eye's lens to unravel, tangle and build up pigments. These pigments cloud the lens over time and eventually lead to blindness. Though cataracts are an unfortunate condition that often comes simply with age, their damaging effects can be enhanced by overexposure to UVB rays. However these can be surgically removed and methods such as laser correction or the insertion of an artificial lens can be used to restore eyesight. These are not exclusively attributed to overexposure to the sun, but various world medical organisations have published estimates that roughly twenty per cent of all identified cataracts could be caused by exposure to UV rays, and are therefore avoidable.
Ocular Melanoma
Though more research is being done all the time, current medical thinking suggests that various cancers of the eye are linked to sun exposure. Melanoma is the most common malignant cancer found in the eyeball and can sometimes require surgery to treat. It is identifiable by the presence of a rare kind of tumour, the precise cause of which is unknown, but studies have indicated that overexposure to UV rays greatly increases the risk of it developing. Because the outcome of a cancer is always better the sooner it is diagnosed, it is important to know the signs and symptoms of such a serious condition if you think your eyes may be too exposed. They include blurred vision, erratic, flashing lights, and shadows in the fluid of the eye. Some ocular melanoma patients experience none of the early signs, but it can often be identified through a routine optician's check-up. Although these symptoms are attributed to other, less serious eye issues, it is important to mention them to your optician or specialist as soon as you start noticing them. The diagnosis procedure for ocular melanoma is often brief and painless, but in some circumstances a small tissue sample may need to be taken.
The best defence from all UV-related conditions affecting the eye is to wear a high-quality pair of sunglasses whenever you are outside. Some concerned with the damage of UV rays have often practiced alternatives, but even contact lenses specifically designed to block UV have been proven to shield only part of the eye, excluding the conjunctiva, a section integral to sight. Though light may appear more garish or faint through different colours and tints, the shade of sunglasses' lenses does not affect how much UV protection they offer. If you are looking to prevent as much UV damage as possible, it is advised that you look for a pair which blocks 100 per cent of UV rays and can absorb large concentrations of HEV rays. Also, for extra assurance, it is wise to buy sunglasses with large lenses, or in a close-fitting wraparound style. If you are unsure just how much protection you require, a quick test with your optician can determine how serious the threat is, and answer any questions you may have. Among the many things most people forget when trying to avoid UV damage is to wear sunglasses even when they are in the shade.
Although shade does filter some UV and HEV energy, your eyes can still be exposed to radiation reflected by windows and other such surfaces. By the same token, it is also important to remember that sunglasses are especially necessary in winter, in the incidence of highly reflective fresh snow, which can lead to such conditions as the previously explained snow blindness. As a defence from this ailment, most modern skiwear companies produce ski goggles with tinted lenses. Unlike the risk of skin-related disease, having naturally dark eyes or skin does not protect someone any more from ocular damage from UV, and sunglasses are recommended regardless of these physical aspects. Similar to sunscreen, if you are vulnerable to UV damage, sunglasses should be worn whenever you're outdoors and all year round, a rule especially important for children with developing sight. Though these observations may seem a little excessive, when practiced correctly, a decent pair of sunglasses can protect from a long list of UV-related conditions.
What to look for in sunglasses
The fundamental traits to look for when first picking out a pair of sunglasses are certifying guarantees printed on the frames; the 'CE' mark and British Standard, a 'UV 400' label, and a statement that the glasses offer at least 99% ultraviolet protection. Second on the list should be a style protecting not only the centres of your eyes, but the sides too, such as a pair with wide or wraparound arms. Although the colour of the lenses does not affect how much UV is blocked, it can be important choice given how certain hues can severely distort colour perception.
For example, sunglasses with a red or amber tint can make the change of traffic lights hard to notice. To minimize such inconvenient and potentially dangerous confusions, it is recommended you find a pair with a green, grey or brown tint for day-to-day use. Some people may want to opt for polarized lenses, which filter the amount of glare reflected from the surface of water or pavement. These are especially popular with people who partake in water sports, or work on boats. Though the protection polarized lenses can offer is adequate, a main disadvantage is that the heavy tint can make it difficult to read displays such as mobile phone and Sat Nav screens. Be aware that polarized lenses do not necessarily guarantee any UV protection, so always check the sunglasses' packaging or label.
When browsing, do not assume that a pair of sunglasses boasting a higher price is therefore the best for your needs. Whether looking at the range of a high-end designer label or your local supermarket, it should not take too long to find a pair both protective and complimentary to the rest of your wardrobe. While leading eye care experts agree unanimously that price has absolutely no indication of effectiveness in protecting the eyes against UV rays, however, noticeably cheap glasses are universally likely to have poorly made lenses stamped out of a mould, rather than ones which have been professionally crafted and polished, which can have a negative impact on the quality of vision. When in doubt, a quick test can show the level quality in this area. Simply concentrate on a straight, vertical line wearing the sunglasses you are trying on, and move your head gently forwards and backwards, letting your focus move freely over the whole area of the lenses. If there appears to be any ripple or distortion in the line, the glasses may have an optical defect and should be avoided. Another factor mostly irrelevant to how well-protected your eyes are from UV is how well the pair rests on your face. The frame should sit comfortably on your nose and ears without rubbing or causing irritation with too much movement. The pair should sit fairly close to your eyes, in order to protect from light coming from overhead, but not so close that they restrict the movement of your eyelashes when you blink.

With San Francisco roots, Chowhaus opens in Montclair
By Ethan Fletcher on June 3, 2015 at 9:17 AM
Upscale comfort food made with local ingredients. Artisan cocktails. Homemade pastries, charcuterie, and bread. It sounds par for the course for many hip new restaurants in the Bay Area.
But Montclair?
"I think it's something that people in this community are really looking for," says Tracey Belock, who with her husband Joe Schnell opened Chowhaus located in the sleepy village nestled in the Oakland hills. "They're constantly saying we need this, something that's fresh and local. There's nowhere where someone can sit down and have a fresh salad with seasonal vegetables for example."
After opening softly for breakfast, lunch, and brunch, the couple officially launches dinner service this Thursday. Belock cures her own charcuterie, to be displayed in an open case a la the Fatted Calf, and Schnell smokes his own meats. They make their own bread and pastries to sell every morning along with SF-based Four Barrel Coffee. Craig Lane of noted cocktail oasis Bar Agricole set up the bar program, featuring a compact, curated selection of small-batch spirits and cocktails that will launch next week.
The idea, Belock has said, was to create a place where the food philosphy wouldn't be out of place in San Francisco's best restaurants—Belock and Schnell both worked at Farrallon in addition to several other high-end Bay Area eateries. Which isn't to say they're trying to bring fine dining to Montclair.
The duo live in the neighborhood with their three kids, and more than anything, they wanted to create a place where everyone in the community, especially families, feel comfortable dining several times a week. Belock is from Ohio, while Schnell is from Oklahoma, and their fare is anchored by an appreciation for heartier Americana fare—with a modern twist, of course.
Dinner dishes include Mary's chicken pot pie with asparagus, mattock mushrooms, summer squash, and peas; a smoked sausage sandwich with sauerkraut and pickles; and a kobe beef bavette steak with salsa verde. The lunch menu balances light and hearty in which dishes such as summer squash and corn soup, farro salad, and a veggie frittata share billing with chilaquiles, a chicken schnitzel sandwich, and scotch eggs. (Click here for sample lunch and sample dinner menus)
"We want to bring it back to our roots, to have that kind of comfort feel, but also bring in a California cuisine aspect to it," says Belock.
Hours: Starting Thursday, Chowhaus will be open for breakfast and lunch, Tuesday–Friday; dinner Tuesday–Saturday; and weekend brunch (closed on Mondays).
Chowhaus: 6118 Medau Pl., Oakland, (510) 339-3395, chowhausoakland.com.

Carrot cake, peanut-butter pie, and doughnuts are just a few ways we're breaking the cookie-cutter tradition (pun intended).
Besides Santa, you know who else likes treats? His reindeer, that's who. With this in mind, we're leaving a plate of carrots for St. Nick's hard-working team and a generous slice of vegan carrot cake for Santa. For a gluten-free recipe, check out the Minimalist Baker's version. Her cake is divine, and it makes the perfect vessel for her vegan cream cheese frosting. Instead of milk, we're leaving Santa a Mason jar of this sweet stuff—it's that good.
If Santa's anything like us, he will be thrilled to find a thick slice of vegan red velvet cake alongside a tall glass of almond milk. If you live near a Sprinkles, pick up one of their signature red velvet vegan cupcakes. No Sprinkles in town? Many generic boxed cake mixes are accidentally vegan and can be prepared using a vegan egg replacer and plant-based butter (or seltzer water). Even better? Surprise Santa with No-Bake Mini Red Velvet Cheesecakes from vegan recipe blog Pickles & Honey. These mostly raw bites use beets for their glowing red hue, which will perfectly match Santa's suit.
With Thanksgiving more than a month prior to Christmas, Santa is surely on crunch time during this foodie holiday, and we doubt he has time to enjoy a full Thanksgiving feast between supervising the elves, double-checking his list, and performing test-runs on his sleigh. Of course, we believe he deserves to celebrate this holiday as much as anyone, and nothing says "Thanksgiving" like pie. Whether you serve pumpkin, apple, pecan, or sweet potato pie, Santa is sure to appreciate the gesture. Revive your favorite pie recipe, or try chef Rachel Carr's Sweet Potato Pecan Pie with Bourbon Maple Caramel. This Thanksgiving pie might be a bit late, but you know what they say: better late than never.
A majority of Santa's journey takes place during the wee hours of the morning, which means he should have breakfast at some point. Doughnuts are a sweet breakfast staple and far more convenient than pancakes or cinnamon rolls. Stop by your favorite vegan doughnut shop, and leave Santa a pretty pink box of his own. Or, get in the kitchen to make our seasonal Vegan Cranberry Citrus Doughnuts.
We're throwing this in here mainly because we'd like to see a reindeer eat peanut butter. We imagine it would be hilarious, like watching a dog lap up this sticky stuff. Also, peanut-butter pie is delicious, and we're sure the reindeer would love it. Popular vegan blog Oh, LadyCakes offers multiple spins on this nutty dessert, but we recommend the Hot Fudge Peanut Butter Pie and the Chocolate Mousse Pie with Peanut Butter Whip + Pretzel Crust. Santa and the reindeer will go nuts!


Whether it happens because of a huge fallout or you just happen to drift apart, letting go of a friend is never easy. How do you deal with the loss of a friendship and move on from it? Well, here's some advice.
The worst mistake you can make is to pretend you're alright when you actually haven't had time to process this huge change. Allow yourself to mourn the friendship without dwelling too much on what was said or what you wish could've been done differently. If there really is no way you can mend things, then you want to give yourself time to fully heal. Be patient with yourself and understand that on some days you might feel a little sadder or even angry and that's okay — as long as you allow yourself to work through these emotions, you're on the right track.
When friendships end abruptly, we may feel like there's a lot that we were unable to say in the moment and we may really need an outlet. It's a good idea, then, to write your friend a letter stating how the whole ordeal has made you feel. What do you wish you could've done differently? What do you want to apologise for? Do you feel they owe you an apology? Write it all down. You don't have to send the letter to them afterwards, but you'll feel a whole lot better once you've expressed your feelings.
The loss of a friendship can cut deep and you might feel like you don't have the strength to go out and have fun — but this could be exactly what you need. Immerse yourself in hobbies, try out something new, take walks in the park every now and then, or join a gym. Find something you enjoy and see this as an opportunity to learn something new and maybe even make a few new friends. Often, uncomfortable changes such as breakups can be catalysts for positive growth and progress in other parts of our lives so it's good to try to embrace them.
Losing a close friend can sometimes cause feelings of loneliness, but you need to remember that you're not alone, there's always someone who's willing to listen. So, whether it's a family member, counsellor or us here at CellCgirl, you always have someone you can talk to about what you're going through and how it makes you feel. Remember to speak your truth, without badmouthing the other party — especially if you're confiding in a mutual friend.
While a lot of friendships last a lifetime, some don't quite make it and that's okay! As much as they may hurt, you can heal from friendship breakups and build more fulfilling bonds with others.

Michigan Restaurant Dining Rooms to Reopen June 8th
Gov. Whitmer has lifted Michigan's stay-at-home order, allowing restaurants and retailers to reopen.
Updated June 1, 2020:
Under Executive Order 2020-110, restaurants and bars statewide will be allowed to reopen at 50% capacity for outdoor and indoor seating beginning June 8.
Previously, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has extended her Executive Stay at Home order which includes non-essential businesses until May 28th.
Additional retail businesses will be allowed to reopen on June 4, also subject to capacity limits. Other businesses and activities that
involve close contact and shared surfaces, including gyms, hair salons, indoor theaters, tattoo parlors, casinos, and similar establishments, will remain closed until further notice.
Michiganders must continue to wear face coverings when in enclosed public spaces and should continue to take all reasonable precautions to protect themselves at all times.
Restaurants must continue to operate for carryout and delivery only through June 7th, but the Governor's updated order now allows some businesses to reopen now under a phased-in plan.
Landscapers and nursery workers can return to work, as well as big-box stores and garden centers to sell items that had been deemed nonessential.
Gov. Whitmer's stay-at-home orders were all designed to help stop the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).
The impact of the number of infected people has played a key role in her decisions to extend her Stay at Home order.
Under the current Executive order, all restaurants, grocery stores, liquor stores, and agricultural businesses are considered "essential services."
Whitmer said she will talk more in news conferences in the coming days and weeks about her process on restarting economic activity in a "smart way," noting she wants to avoid a second wave of infections.
Restaurants are currently allowed to operate for limited carryout and delivery service during the duration of the dine-in closures.
Bars that hold a carryout retail license for beer and wine can also sell bottles to-go.
All restaurants, bars, bakeries, coffee shops and ice cream parlors in the downriver area can continue to operate with delivery, carryout, and curbside pickup by asking customers to wait in their cars until your order is ready.
Customers are encouraged to order online directly with the business or their chosen delivery service to place an order.
We have an updated list of the places downriver still open for delivery and carryout.
Please continue supporting these local businesses whenever you can to help keep our downriver community alive and humming until the statewide stay-at-home order is lifted and life returns with social distancing and eventually "business as usual."
So what will the new normal look like for restaurants when they reopen?
More than likely, it will be up to every restaurant to make diners feel safe and comfortable while following specific actions that employers will take to mitigate the risk of spreading the virus, both to their employees as well as their customers.
That should include the obvious visible cleaning, wearing face masks, fewer tables farther apart, touchless ordering, plenty of hand sanitizer and so on.
To see more examples of how this might look, check out this article from ClickOnDetroit…
US restaurants expect big changes when their doors reopen
Full Screen 1 / 10 The days of standing shoulder-to-shoulder at a bar or sharing a meal at a table for 10 are gone for now – and could take a long time to return even after the coronavirus pandemic ends. U.S.
Restaurants will eventually bounce back in time but until then, we should support them in their rebuilding efforts as many have stayed open for us, and remember we are all in this together.
We will continue to update this article as it pertains to the food and restaurant industry and our local businesses for the downriver area.

Buenos Aires was founded, twice, on a small bluff not far from where the Paraná and Uruguay rivers enter into a broad estuary called the Rio de la Plata. Hundreds of miles of flat pampas give way, rather undramatically, to a small slope, about 30 feet in height, below which sits the river. After living in Buenos Aires for about two years, the flatness of the city, the impossibility of having a vista or a perspective from which to orient oneself, began to feel oppressive. I started taking pictures around the one, small topographical feature present in the city: the brief slant of the barely perceptible riverbank, or barranca.
Residents of Buenos Aires say the city turns its back on the river. Indeed, centuries of landfill have pushed the present-day edge of the river so far from its original banks that standing at any point on the riverbank, the river itself is never visible. What is visible are the markings of Argentina's history: the lavish parks built in the 19th century, the seat of government, the bullet-scared façade of a government ministry, the site of a clandestine torture center run during the last military dictatorship, murals for candidates, a monument to a lost war, graffiti for recently a deceased ex-president, an elevated highway constructed for the World Cup and so on.

Barton Creek winds through some of the most beautiful areas just southwest of downtown Austin, Texas. Named after William Barton, who built a house near Barton Springs in 1837, the waterway cascades over limestone rock and serves as a tributary to the Colorado River. Before that, the Tonkawa and Comanche roamed the area in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, with over 12 miles of hiking and biking trails, Barton Creek offers what some consider one of the top hiking trails in the state. Commonly called the "Greenbelt" or the "Austin Greenbelt ," the lush area of vegetation offers rock climbing as well as pools perfect for cooling off on a summer day.
One of the Texas tales I've heard is that at years ago, the state of Texas wanted to lay claim to waterfalls and mountains. In order to do this, folks that make these decisions decided that anywhere water drops over 4 feet would constitute a waterfall, and any rise over 4,000 feet would qualify as a mountain. With these criteria in place, the Barton Creek Greenbelt offers several nice waterfalls – Twin Falls and Sculpture Falls. Below each of these cascades are nice pools for swimming.
The main trail of this preserve runs for over 7 miles. Several access points are located around the 12+ miles of trails. On weekends in the summer, the parking areas can be crowded or completely full. The images and prints you'll find in this gallery were usually taken at sunrise, thus avoiding this congestion.
Closer to Austin, Barton Springs Pool is an area of the creek that stays at a constant 68 degrees year round. Fed by underground springs, this swimming area offers both shallow areas for younger folks to wade and play, as well as deeper areas for swimming and diving. There is a fee, but for locals it is a minimal amount. Just a little further east, and with the Austin skyline rising in the distance, Barton Creek joins the Colorado River as part of Lady Bird Lake.
If you have any questions about these photographs from Barton Creek, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Messrs. Theodore Kiendl, Jr., of Brooklyn, and William C. Cannon, of New York City, for petitioner.
[253 U.S. 86, 88] Mr. John C. Robinson, of New York City, for respondent.
Action for damages under the Employers' Liability Act (Comp. St. 8657-8665), for the loss of a leg in the railroad company's service. The verdict and judgment were for $20,000. The contest in the case is whether the injury was received in interstate or intrastate service.
The judges below concurred in the judgment but disagreed upon the grounds of it. Judges Hand and Hough concurred on the authority of the Collins Case, 259 Fed. 172, 170 C. C. A. 240, though Judge Hand did not sit in it, and Judge Hough dissented from its judgment.
As we have just affirmed that case, if it is not distinguishable from the case at bar, the latter must also be affirmed. A distinction is not asserted, but both cases are attacked. In our opinion in the Collins Case we have reviewed most of the cases upon which the company relies in this, and whether their principle applies depends upon the facts. We collect them from the testimony and represent them as the jury had a right to consider them, omitting conflicts. [253 U.S. 86, 89] Sand is necessary to an engine and must be used dry. Szary and two others were employed in its preparation, which was done in what is called the 'sand house,' a small structure standing in the yards of the company alongside of the tracks. The drying was done in four large stoves which it was the duty of Szary and his associates to attend. Soft coal was the heating means and the resulting ashes were dumped in an ash pit, to do which a track had to be crossed.
On the night of the accident, January 5, 1917, Szary began his duties at 6 o'clock, and sanded about seven engines whose destinations were other states. He sanded the last engine at 9 o'clock, and after doing so, he removed the ashes from the stove and carried them to the ash pit in a pail according to his custom, in doing which he was compelled to cross one of the tracks. He emptied the pail and left it on the ground while he went to the engine room to get a drink of water, and when returning for the pail and crossing the track he was hit by an engine. He had looked and saw no engine and heard no signal. He described the night as 'very dark and very foggy and rainy and misty,' and testified that he could not see anything, the steam and smoke from the engines in all parts of the yard being so thick that he could see nothing.
The engine that hit him was running backwards and without a light. He was picked up and carried to a hospital and his left leg was amputated the same night from two to three inches below the knee.
We think these facts bring the case within the Collins Case and the test there deduced from prior decisions. There were attempts there, and there are attempts here, to separate the duty and assign its character by intervals of time, and distinctions between the acts of service. Indeed something is attempted to be made of an omission, or an asserted omission, in the evidence, of the kind of commerce in which the last engine served was engaged. [253 U.S. 86, 90] The distinctions are too artificial for acceptance. The acts of service were too intimately related and too necessary for the final purpose to be distinguished in legal character.

Three re-development projects are expected break ground in Alhambra this summer. The selected sites are Main Street, the intersection of 3rd St. and Atlantic Blvd. and the Alhambra Public Library. These projects will bring to Alhambra new residence areas, office buildings, merchandizes, and most importantly, new jobs. Alhambra Mayor Stephen Sham hopes that the re-development projects will spur local economy and bring more tax income to the city government.


This post probably needs a bit of context before we dive in: I'm a Senior Developer at the ABC, and I've been working there almost a year.
I get to work on products that people use day-to-day, which is great, but I've also had the chance to pour effort into things I believe are fantastic for a development team: driving the ABC's involvement in GovHack 2015, efforts in diversity, and the best part… not just one, but two internal hackathons to drum up some inspiration and build communication links within the division.
On the roadmap is an ABC Development blog, with contributions from various developers in the team. Unfortunately it hasn't got off the ground yet 🙂 The blog would be perfect to talk about these hackathons, but since that space doesn't exist yet, I'm doing so here.
Earlier this year, the ABC was undergoing a restructure of all its digital teams into a single Digital Network division. With the restructure, we really wanted to help bring together separate teams – who often sit on separate floors, and rarely get to interact – around a fun event.
Our main aims were to introduce people to others, and foster new communities within the dev team. It was also a great chance to let people flex their creativity muscles, and build prototypes for future products or features.
The ABC has a lot of developers with different technology backgrounds, and we wanted to ensure that everyone had a fair opportunity to join a team and build something that interested them.
We also have many colleagues who work interstate. Facilitating teams and introducing everyone to each other was a bit of a puzzle, especially since we wanted to have team formation and idea pitches done before the day.
We'd also never run a hackathon at the ABC before, so we were given the chance to run a small-scale version in March to help us prepare for a larger, two-day event in June.
This was a one-day event held at the ABC in Ultimo. We invited 20 people from ABC Innovation (later Digital Network) and gave them 6 hours to build anything they wanted.
Seven teams produced a variety of hacks, surprisingly all ABC related, and had their demos watched by an audience of around 60 staff.
Our second event was much larger, with around 70 people hacking over two days at the Powerhouse Museum, just down the road from the ABC – complete with Angry Birds and Minecraft.
Given more time to hack, and more time to prepare, there was a big improvement in the quality of the hacks compared to the first event. It was also great to have all the teams from interstate mingling together in the same room.
Our main feedback (aside from faster wifi!) was still around team formation: teams had to be composed of people who didn't work together normally, and were capped at 4 people. If someone hadn't found a team a week before the hackathon, they would be allocated at random. Given how dispersed people are physically, it favoured people who already worked on the same floor, or knew other people socially. So, there are still things we can improve with this process.
