There is an argument to be made that the search for the next U.S. men's national team manager has transitioned from "deliberate" into "dragging on" and is creeping dangerously close to the territory of "wasted opportunity." But when Earnie Stewart sat down with a group of reporters at MetLife Stadium on Thursday, he projected something that has been lacking around the coaching hunt: confidence.
Confidence in what he and U.S. Soccer are looking for in a manager; in the process over the five weeks since he became general manager; and in who that new coach will be.
Stewart says he doesn't have one name in mind, not yet at least. But as the head coaching vacancy approaches the one-year anniversary of the team's historic loss to Trinidad and Tobago, the profile of the next coach does at least seem to be coming into focus—so much so that Stewart may only interview one person for the job.

A 'Cure for Heart Disease'? A Single Shot Succeeds in Monkeys
By Kristie J. Fields 7 months ago
Not only did the system work in 13 monkeys, the researchers reported, but it appeared that every liver cell was edited. After gene editing, the monkeys' LDL levels dropped by 59 percent within two weeks. The ANGPTL3 gene editing led to a 64 percent decline in triglyceride levels.
One danger of gene editing is the process may result in modification of DNA that scientists are not expecting. "You will never be able to have no off-target effects," warned Dr. Deepak Srivastava, president of the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco.
In treating a condition as common as heart disease, he added, even an uncommon side effect can mean many patients are affected. So far, however, the researchers say that they have not seen any inadvertent editing of other genes.
Another question is how long the effect on cholesterol and triglyceride levels will last, Dr. Davidson said. "We hope it will be one-and-done, but we have to validate that with clinical trials," he said.
Jennifer Doudna, a biochemist of the University of California, Berkeley, and a discoverer of Crispr, the revolutionary gene editing system, said: "In principle, Verve's approach could be better because it's a one-time treatment."
But it is much too soon to say if it will be safe and long-lasting, she added.
If the strategy does work in humans, its greatest impact may be in poorer countries that cannot afford expensive injections for people at high risk of heart disease, said Dr. Daniel Rader, chairman of the department of genetics at the University of Pennsylvania and a member of Verve's scientific advisory board.
Dr. Kathiresan, of Verve, noted that half of all first heart attacks end in sudden death, making it imperative to protect those at high risk.

Apple began its promised purge of the iOS App Store in October, pulling some 47,300 titles, according to third-party research data published on Tuesday.
App removals jumped 238 percent last month, according to intelligence firm Sensor Tower, quoted by TechCrunch. Figures were also about 3.4 times higher than the monthly average between January and September.
About 28 percent of the deleted apps were games, far higher than the next two categories —Entertainment and Books —which accounted for just 8.99 and 8.96 percent, respectively. Education came in fourth at 7 percent, while Lifestyle apps represented just 6 percent.
Apple announced plans to start reviewing old apps in early September, "removing apps that no longer function as intended, don't follow current review guidelines, or are outdated." This included deleting "abandoned" titles which hadn't been given compatibility updates "for a long time."
While Apple said that it would immediately remove apps that crash on launch, it added that it would otherwise send out notifications asking developers to update within 30 days if they wanted to keep their apps available.
Purges are likely ongoing, as prior to October, it was estimated that nearly half of iOS apps hadn't been updated since May 2015. Over a quarter hadn't been updated since Nov. 2013.


Understanding Weight of Money on Betfair (aka WOM).
Understanding weight of money, what it is, and how it may influence the market it is important.
Weight of money is a term used to define the amount of money within a market, influencing the movement of a price. Usually indicated as a percentage within various trading software's. The WOM indicator itself is just a quick way of showing the balance of back and lay bets either side of the spread.
In the Geeks Toy trading software, WOM looks like the above image.
The percentages expressed in the top of the ladder within the Geeks Toy show us the percentage of money, spread over the three prices closest to the available match. Obviously this is unmatched money, not to be confused with traded volume.
If there was a total of £350 on the lay side of the book, and just £150 on the back side of the book (over the next available 3 prices). Then the weight of money calculation would be 70% to 30% in favour of the lay side of the book. Much like the right hand side of the image above.
The downside to this is; very quickly traders realised the weight of money figures could be manipulated.
I'm led to believe, in the early days of Betfair this could be considered as an indicator. Now it's more likely to be traded volume, or weight of flow as it's sometimes referred to.
Traded Volume is different to WOM. When traders refer to the traded volume they are talking about the money that has already been matched at a price.
If you look to the grey column fourth from the left, this is the traded volume column.
So as an example you can see, 1.3k has been traded at a price of 6.4 (second column from right).
Will Understanding Weight of Money Change Your Trades?
Possibly, depending on trading style and strategy.
When Betfair visited me in 2014 I still used to keep track of the unmatched money. In some cases it's still relevant, although a lot rarer now. Various figures slosh up and down in the market, giving a false sense of security.
However, on occasion, it's still possible to spot large amounts of unmatched money that wants to be genuinely bet. I've no doubt that WOM actually triggers various automation running on the exchange in some cases. But largely, it appears, various automation tries to conceal the genuine unmatched money.
Understanding weight of money that's previously been matched is far more beneficial to forming a solid opinion. It's harder to write-off as 'fake' right?
Monitoring traded volume is one thing, but monitoring which way the money's 'intent' is headed is sufficiently harder. Especially when you consider the effect cross-matching has on the markets.
So if we can't use the WOM to our advantage in order to profit, can we use it to avoid unnecessary losses?
Longer readers will know I bang on about avoiding losses as much as trading a profit. In this instance weight of money can be a telling indicator when it comes to 'funny business' in the market.
Flashes close to the available price?
Gets dragged down but never actually wants to be matched?
Sits around at prices like 10.5?
Don't let it get you.
Some of the cheap tricks employed by automation centres around weight of money. Obviously it's not always the case when you see a big bet, but bear it in mind.
On the other hand, if you're feeling confident that you're witnessing a bit of 'funny business' it might just be a good idea to take the fakery on. Do it at your own peril obviously, but in some instances it can prove quite profitable!
For that reason alone, I wouldn't advise trying to twist the weight of money yourself… there's often someone bigger watching.
Thanks Ali. Sometimes the things I've took for granted need clearing up 🙂 Glad it was helpful.
Good article. Concise as always. I for one appreciate all the work you put in, and with the youtube vids too.
Ah that fake money, it appears and disappears quickly also looks out of place when watching a market, I have seen it and was wondering where from? and why? I am guessing its there to try manipulate the market and scare a few traders…… Yes it can certainly do the latter!
Not that I'm aware of Jack, sorry.
Great post, never knew (wom) was only the next 3 prices.


Last month, I bought a jar of Autumnal Harvest Pasta Sauce from Trader Joe's. For those of you who have never tried it, imagine a basic tomato-based spaghetti sauce with pumpkin and squash puree added.
"It's a sauce for pasta with autumn flavors," I responded.
This happens to be a true story, but it's a good illustration of how the sense of taste can add authenticity to your fiction. Rather than writing about the blend of sweet and savory with a buttery squash overtone and hints of traditional Italian seasoning, I show my husband's sense of humor and give the reader an unexpected twist on the sensory details.
Too often in novels, I've seen the sense of taste ignored, overdone, or feel completely out of place. I won't name names but I once read a crime thriller where the lead detective paused in the middle of a tense scene to reflect on the sweet, juicy berry she was eating. The exquisite taste and feel of the orgasmic fruit was described in vivid detail. On its own, the segment was well-written, but I kept asking myself what the berry had to do with the investigation. Cramming in sensory details where they don't fit just doesn't work for me.
That's not to say you should never have your protagonist eat berries, but it might be better to use in a way that propels the story. Orgasmic berries would be a great way to build sexual tension between characters. Or, perhaps, the detective could have needed a mental distraction to come at the clues from a different angle.
In another novel I read, the protagonist, who had been shown to be a good cook, watched the woman he was interested in butcher a dinner for the two of them. The description of the burnt meat and soggy, bland vegetables highlighted the awkward tension of a first date.
Like all sensory writing, the descriptions should fit the mood of the scene, add to the conflict, develop a character, or otherwise move the story along. What are some of your favorite or most hated scenes involving the sense of taste?
This entry was posted in Cari Shares!, Soul Mate Publishing. Bookmark the permalink.
Thanks, Cari, I use a tremendous amount of scent and food description in my novels. Being a gourmet cook and a world-traveled eater gives me a leg up on food. One of my characters is often a gourmet cook. It adds tremendous flavor (ha ha) to my stories.


The wind blew a heavy gust, which she welcomed under the warmth of the afternoon sun. The sun was falling from the sky but there were no clouds to hide its rays. As she walked across the wet sand, her feet sunk slightly with each step, leaving a trail of footprints behind her. Her footprints were not alone though. The indents in the sand next to hers were not nearly as big yet and didn't sink quite as far into the wetness.
The smaller footprints come from the same place as the sound of the pitter pattering across the ground. Each step is music to her ears, pitter – patter – pitter – patter over and over again until there is a sudden stop. He yelps and reaches down to grab at the wet earth; taking up a handful of sand to grab the object that caught his eye. This time it's half a sand dollar. He holds it up for her to see, a smile beaming across his face and his eyes shining under the sun. She smiles back and remarks excitedly as he places his treasure into the bright orange bucket.
He reaches back up to grab her hand again and she gladly accepts the offer. Though his hand is much smaller than hers, he holds on tightly as they begin to walk across the sand once again. The waves crash along the shore as they walk in search of more treasures. The water rushes up against their feet, trying to take back the sand as it moves out to sea.
A bird lands at the water's edge, where it seems to merge with the sand. It squawks and wiggles its feathers in the heat of the sun, looking out at the water ahead. The little boy drops her hand and squeals again as he runs towards the bird. His pitter – patter is quickened and the shells in his bucket create a musical chaos.
She smiles to herself as she watches the bird taunt him, keeping just a few steps ahead. Finally the bird gives flight and the little boy stops and stares at the sky. He puts his hand up in the air and yells "Buh – bye!" as the bird soars away. He waits until she catches up and then takes her hand again, ready to find more treasures in the sand.
These are the days that make my heart smile, she thinks to herself as they walk along shore.
This morning I woke up grateful for a little man who loves books as much as me, an incredible aunt & (soon-to-be) uncle who made this alphabet book for him that he won't put down and my wonderful in laws who invited us over for dinner and who support us always.
What are you blessed with today?
After putting together the Love Jars yesterday, I woke up wanting to read from mine. It was given to me during my first treatment and it sits on a table in my living room, proudly displayed to anyone who walks in there. The Love Jar is an interesting thing and while there is no right or wrong way to use it, I often wonder which way is best. Part of me likes the thought that I may find a love note that I haven't read yet, so reading a few at a time is fun. The other part of me wants to devour every sweet word in one sitting, so I can be sure that I have read them all.
For this particular Love Jar, I wanted to spread the love across my treatments. I often found myself pulling a sheet or two or three from it on treatment day and every day for about a week after. Then I would wait until my next treatment before reaching in it again, letting the suspense build. I haven't sat down and dumped the entire thing out so I never knew if I had read all of them.
Today, I decided to read through all of them. I dumped them all on the table and took a seat, tissues in hand. I took my time reading through each note. I laughed hard at some of the fun memories, cried at the inspirational thoughts and prayers people sent to me and tried to recall the details of all of these incredible moments I have been blessed with in my life.
"You had an issue with your feet and they pointed inward, so you had to sleep with these hard white shoes on your feet that were connected with a metal bar. The bar and shoes pointed your feet outward. I remember your mom putting the shoes on your feet one night, and putting you to bed. A little while later, I snuck into your room to see you guys. (Sounds silly because you were sleeping but I just loved you guys and wanted to see you.) I remember you laying there on your side, your one leg straight up in the air. It was kinda funny but I felt bad at the same time. You were so small, so young – yet you turned your head, opened your eyes for a second and smiled at me. You went right back to sleep. I can specifically remember thinking to myself, how is she so happy right now? But you were. You were so young, had no clue why you had to have these shoes on your feet while you slept. A brave little girl. You could have cried like crazy!! Madelyn would freak out – I can tell you that!
Joe had heard many stories about these shoes and although a quick Google search showed him what they looked like, nothing quite beats the real thing. I had no idea that my parents had held onto these infamous shoes and was quite surprised at their reappearance that day. Thankfully they are a tad too small for me now.
Hearing my cousin's story about these shoes and how she felt about me wearing them made me heart swell. Her recollection of me with these shoes was incredibly sweet and offered a different perspective than the memories I have with them. I love having a jar filled with so much love and so many stories just like this.
Feel free to share your Friday flashback!
The sun shined down through the trees, casting a shadow across her face. The large oak that stood above moved slowly with the wind; just enough to make the moss hanging from each limb come to life, reaching for its mate. The wind sent a shiver up her shadowed arm, despite the sun sparkling across her bare feet.
The birds sang their springtime song, calling out to their friends to come share in the warmth that the shallow water of the bath provides. The blue jay, its feathers the color of the ocean on a warm summer day, dips its beak in and sprays the water about.
An ant crawls up the chair she lays on, trying to sneak a taste of the chocolate scent he follows. She breaks off a piece and savors the richness of it. Her fingers are covered with the melted sweetness and she absently smudges the page of her book, engulfed in the words that fill the page.
There is noise of road work in the distance, the constant humming of a machine that moves dirt around the road it's working to fix. A project that is long past due and yet provides the familiar comfort of an old friend.
It is the type of spring day that leaves your soul calling out for more; wondering what life has to offer, what comes next in this world, what adventure awaits. A day for reflection and thought.
But all of that is lost on her, as she is adrift in a world that is not her own. A world filled with fantasy and fight and hope, a battle being fought that is not her own. Today, she has no anxieties, no fears, and no worries. Just the words on this page and the next and the one that follows that.
Today, she is just a girl reading a book outside on a warm spring day.

Presented at the Paris Motor Show last year is another eco-friendly hybrid concept car from Ssangyong called the C200. The C200 crossover will be using a 175-horsepower, 2.0-Liter diesel engine that is reportedly to be Euro V emissions compliant. This coming April 2, 2009 the C200 will be presented at the Seoul Motor Show in South Korea. The C200 has an engine that produces 175 hp and a lower CO2 levels. This new hybrid car will definitely be of big help in saving the environment from massive carbon emission produced by the current car models. In addition, the C200 also has a sleek and elegant design.

Suspect Arrested In Crockett Fatal Cyclist Hit-And-Run
Filed Under:CHP, Crime, Cyclist, Hercules, Hit and run
CROCKETT (CBS SF) — A 28-year-old Martinez woman has been arrested after a cyclist was found fatally struck on a rural road in unincorporated Crockett, the California Highway Patrol announced Thursday.
CHP Officer Brandon Correia said his agency received a tip claiming a red Mini Cooper had been involved in the hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of 42-year-old Hercules resident Christopher Bunag on Tuesday night.
A short time after the first call, Kylie Lanae Derksen phoned the CHP to say she may have been involved in the collision.
With the evidence CHP collected at the scene, witness statements, surveillance video and all the information gathered on the case, CHP a warrant for her arrest was obtained. She was taken into custody, placed her under arrest for two felony counts and her vehicle for seized as evidence.
Derksen was being held at the Martinez detention facility with a bail of of $100,000.
The CHP said Bunag died at the scene after a collision reported at 7:21 p.m. Tuesday just west of The Dead Fish, a popular waterfront restaurant at 20050 San Pablo Ave.
Bunag was a member of the Hercules Cycling Club, a group of bicyclists that organize group rides and other events to encourage bicycling.
His sister told KPIX 5 that Bunag was a loving family member.
"He was just so loving," said Steffi Sabadlab. "And he is just the most loving person ever. Anyone who knows him knows just how sweet and genuine and honest he is."
The CHP is asking anyone who witnessed the collision, was in the area at the time or has any information to provide to call the Contra Costa-area CHP at (925) 646-4980.

More Competition for Joni Gray
Former Lompoc Mayor Joyce Howerton Enters 4th District Supervisor Race
Former Lompoc mayor Joyce Howerton is running for 4th District Supervisor, she said Monday. Friday was the last day to file paperwork for the June primary. Howerton, currently the executive director of Santa Barbara County Action Network, joins rancher Peter Adam in taking on incumbent Joni Gray, who has held onto the 4th District seat since being appointed in 1998.
Gray is considered quite vulnerable this year given many problems she encountered this past term, most notably her ties to the embattled Lompoc Community Housing and Development Corporation. Adam — a self-described "fiscal libertarian" — is expected to give Gray a run for her money, and Howerton's entry into the race spells even more trouble for Gray. While Adam will likely bring in a lot of votes from the most conservative parts of the district, the liberal Howerton — who has run for the 4th district twice before — will pull more moderate votes away from Gray.
The 4th District, which includes all of Lompoc and Orcutt and part of Santa Maria, is the only district in the county where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats. Republicans hold a 45.4-percent to 31.3-percent advantage over Dems, with 18.2 percent of registered voters giving no party preference. "There's a lot that needs to be done with the county," Howerton said, stating Gray has been an absent supervisor. "On a day-to-day basis in Lompoc, we've just not had representation," she said. "People want someone to work for them."
Gray didn't return a phone call Monday, but she says on her campaign Web site she has been the "voice of reason for rational county government" and that she has fought for law enforcement, fire protection, property rights, fiscal responsibility, and a user-friendly government.
Howerton served three terms as mayor of Lompoc. She helped found the North County Rape Crisis and Child Protection Center, as well as Domestic Violence Solutions. She served on the board of directors of the Santa Barbara Foundation and worked as a community outreach coordinator for The Fund of Santa Barbara. In 2002, the second time she ran for the 4th District, Howerton lost to Gray in a head-to-head match-up, with Gray taking nearly 64 percent of the vote.
Adam said he plans to reel in the county's spending, is specifically eying the county pension-fund issues, and believes that reform is badly needed. "They're not able to ignore it anymore," he said. The government's only job, he stated, is to provide public safety and maintain infrastructure. "That's it."
If no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote in June, the top two vote-getters will square off in November.

CRYSTAL RUN HEALTHCARE GETS $25 MILLION IN TAXPAYER MONEY FOR NEW BUILDINGS IN WEST NYACK AND MONROE
By dskriloff on June 14, 2016 No Comment
BY CAROL MCILMURRAY
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has given away $230.5 million to Hudson Valley healthcare facilities, with over $25 million of those dollars landing in the pockets of building developers for the new Crystal Run Healthcare facilities in West Nyack and Monroe.
"Crystal Run Healthcare is a very profitable private practice run by doctors. Do they need to receive taxpayer dollars for their new building?" said Dr. Eric Roffman, president of Rockland Medical Society. Crystal Run is a 350-physician practice with 50 different specialties located in Sullivan, Orange, and Rockland counties.
Only two other Rockland healthcare providers received the healthcare grant money, Nyack Hospital got $17.7 million and L'Refuah Health Center Inc., was given $3.5 million. Unlike Crystal Run Healthcare LLC, both Nyack Hospital and L'Refuah provide healthcare to patients in need regardless of the patient's ability to pay.
In 2012, Crystal Run gave $80,000 to Andrew Cuomo's 2014 successful gubernatorial campaign, placing them in Cuomo's overall the top 20 contributors, outspending national companies such as NBC Universal, Anheuser-Busch and Citigroup Inc., according to non-profit, non-partisan research organization Vote Smart.
Crystal Run Healthcare LLC, received $13.1 million for the West Nyack building, and $12.3 million for the Monroe building, both are two-story 70,000 sq. foot private medical facilities. Crystal Run West Nyack is slated to open in August.
The West Nyack the property is in contract with County of Rockland Industrial Development Agency for tax abatements and incentives. The construction of the new buildings were bankrolled from Crystal Run's $141-million sale and leaseback of 6 buildings in Middletown and Rock Hill, NY to Griffin-American, an unlisted real estate investment trust. Griffin-American paid Crystal Run $68 million cash for the Rock Hill building alone.
The state funds are apart of $7.3 billion Medicaid waiver from a 2014 agreement between New York and the federal government, with $1.5 billion earmarked for 162 New York healthcare providers. The vast majority- approx. 90 percent- of the statewide funding is dedicated to hospitals. New York and Texas are the only states of the six participating in the pilot program to allocate any taxpayer funds to non-hospital groups.
Nyack Hospital is to use the $17.7 million to build a 7,800 sq. foot "medical village" on their campus this fall. According to a press release by Nyack Hospital the "medical village" will house primary and specialty care providers, connect patients to outside community-based services, provide non-emergency transportation and help avoid unnecessary hospital admissions. L'Refuah is to use their 3.5 million for information technologies and to create a behavioral health unit and primary care area.
The grants are being made through the Capital Restructuring Financing Program and Essential Health Care Provider Support Program. Both were created by Governor Cuomo to support the goals of the Delivery System Reform Incentive Program (DSRIP), an organization whose main goal to reduce Medicaid spending.

You shifted to Greenplum database, NOW WHAT?
Raise your hand if you are an enterprise product decision-maker and have never regretted a product purchase. Chances are the vast majority of us would keep our hands down and just look at each other and smile sheepishly, remembering a product we bought to solve one problem, only to find it created many more.
Even the most well-thought out and carefully planned purchase decisions can go awry at times, and most CIO/CTOs have faced this situation at some point. Sometimes a lot of money, time and resource is invested in a product that causes more headaches than it cures.
Take for example Greenplum database.
In its day, Greenplum was the way to run SQL queries on Big Data via Massively Parallel Processing (MPP).
Looking at it as a CIO/CTO at that time, Greenplum was brilliant. To start with, it's based on an existing open-source relational database (PostgreSQL), with its great community-developed infrastructure and adapters. It also has an MPP back end for storage and query performance grafted on, and was being widely adopted by CIOs and CTOs during its peak and even some very high-profile enterprises like Allstate were also using Greenplum.
It was built using a shared-nothing architecture with collocated storage and compute. It supported parallel loading from diverse structured data sources and Apache Hadoop data lakes and could run massively parallel high-performance ad-hoc queries. This enabled Greenplum to be deployed in a diverse set of data pipeline processing architectures. Also, its hardware capacity could be expanded on an incremental basis with automatic or controlled load redistribution, minimising lifecycle management costs.
At the time, Greenplum was the most flexible and adaptable product out there. It had polymorphic storage that enabled columnar and row-based storage simultaneously and it could be used for scanning large volumes of data and small lookups just as easily. This enabled a Greenplum database to scale up to handle large data sets with thousands of columns as well as scale down in terms of cost and latency to handle smaller data sets. Column level compression, flexible indexing and partitioning provided full control to enterprises to trade off performance with cost.
It offered the most advanced analytics of the time. In addition to OLAP queries such as cube and grouping set operations, Greenplum database had the richest support at the time for massively parallel machine learning capabilities invoked from SQL, Python, R, etc.
Greenplum slowed down when disk caching was enabled. Additionally, under high write load, Greenplum caused Linux journaling errors that required rebuilding the entire database, which in itself was a two-day process.
And with Pivotal, Greenplum's parent company, effectively washing their hands of it when they took it open-source, many companies have been left stranded. After open-sourcing the project, Pivotal is not spending energy improving the product, and nor does it seem likely that the open-source community will ever embrace Greenplum, effectively leaving many companies between a rock and hard place.
The good news is, now there are some great options that can help companies address the shortcomings of Greenplum without throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
With Brytlyt's GPU database and analytics platform, especially since it is also based on PostgreSQL, Brytlyt can help any company using Greenplum today.
What Brytlyt can offer to companies using Greenplum database?
Brytlyt solves the biggest problem facing Greenplum users today – Performance. Especially when many users query it at the same time. A single line of code is all that's needed to connect Brytlyt to Greenplum, and with Brytlyt's basis in PostgreSQL, any code originally developed for Greenplum, will run out of the box on Brytlyt. Plus, Brytlyt has been designed to run large data processing workloads on Graphics Processor Units (GPU), which means any query will run up to 100x faster. So not only can businesses continue to use their analytics, SQL code and data visualizations developed for Greenplum, they get the benefit of it all running an order of magnitude faster!
The second biggest problem for Greenplum users is data corruption and stability. By moving the data analysis workloads to Brytlyt, Greenplum resources are released , stress on the system reduced and therefore data coruptions less likely.
Effectively by combining Brytlyt with Greenplum, most technology teams can resolve the problems of Greenplum while effectively giving a massive performance boost to their data queries – killing multiple birds with one stone and finally removing Greenplum from their list of mistakes.

Edward Norton, Michael Kenneth Williams Attend "MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN" Screening in Atlanta
InDaHouse
ATLANTA) – Warner Bros Pictures hosted a special screening of the new film Motherless Brooklyn for Morehouse, Spelman and Clark Atlanta students at Regal Atlantic Station in Atlanta. Director, writer, producer and star Edward Norton along with actor Michael Kenneth Williams were on hand for a Q&A after the screening moderated by Morehouse Associate Professor Dr. Stephane Dunn. Norton shared how his passion for this story (which was based on the Motherless Brooklyn novel by Jonathan Lethem) was driven by his family's history in urban planning. Williams discussed how he prepared for his role as a Harlem jazz musician.
The film's cast also includes Bruce Willis, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Alec Baldwin and Willem Dafoe. Motherless Brooklyn is in theaters November 1.
SYNOPSISSet against the backdrop of 1950s New York, Motherless Brooklyn follows Lionel Essrog (Edward Norton), a lonely private detective living with Tourette Syndrome, as he ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend, Frank Minna (Bruce Willis). Armed only with a few clues and the engine of his obsessive mind, Lionel unravels closely-guarded secrets that hold the fate of the whole city in the balance. In a mystery that carries him from gin-soaked jazz clubs in Harlem to the hard-edged slums of Brooklyn and, finally, into the gilded halls of New York's power brokers, Lionel contends with thugs, corruption and the most dangerous man in the city to honor his friend and save the woman who might be his own salvation.

Final year students of the Government Girls Science and Technical College, Dapchi, Yobe, will be temporarily relocated to Government Girls Secondary School, Nguru, to enable them prepare for the forthcoming senior secondary school certificate examination.
Yobe state commissioner for education, Mohammed Lamin, disclosed this to TheCable on Wednesday in Damaturu, the state capital.
"We are right now making arrangements for the SS3 students, to take them to GGSS Nguru, to prepare them for their examination which is coming up in March-April. The practical aspect of their exam will start around that time, and we don't want them to miss any part of their examinations," he said.
The state had closed the school on February 20, 2018 following the abduction of 110 girls by suspected Boko Haram insurgents.
Despite the trauma the families are experiencing, the minister believes life has to move on.
"Nguru is also a boarding school, but we are already taking steps to ensure security," he said.
According to him, only SS3 girls of the over 900 students will be relocated for now.
The other students will still remain with their parents until the government is able to solve the issue on ground.
Nguru is further north, about 300 kilometres from Damaturu, while Dapchi is about 100 kilometres, from the state capital.

ATF Agent Cynthia Beebee
Home/Podcast/Law Enforcement / First Responders/ATF Agent Cynthia Beebee
ATF Special Agent Cynthia Beebee never considered a career in law enforcement. After all, the good guys on television were always men and in the 1960's there were few opportunities for women in the field. But two things happened in 1972 that would change her life; President Nixon signed Title IX into law and the ATF became an agency independent of the IRS. Her story is told in the book "Boots in the Ashes".
Cynthia excelled over her 27 years as an ATF agent. She was the first woman to earn "Top Gun" honors at the ATF academy where she was a classmate of Jay Dobyns. Ironically, her very first case assignment happened before she was even allowed to carry a weapon. It was also the case that inspired her to become an arson/bombing investigation specialist.
We discuss some of the more intriguing characters she investigated as an ATF agent including bomber Lauren Bellrichard and biker gang enforcer Ron Petkus. Like the case of Al Capone finally brought to justice with tax evasion charges, some of Cynthia's cases were prosecuted using tools tangential to the original crime. Charges like felony possession (Petkus) or mailing threatening letters (Bellrichard) are an effective way to get the bad guys behind bars quickly on federal charges.
Cynthia also shares the story of Richard Kagan, a very successful criminal defense attorney who hired someone to kill his wife with a car bomb because he wanted to marry a younger girlfriend. Cynthia said she had never worked a case in which everyone, including the bad guys, wanted to catch Kagan.
One of her favorite assignments was augmenting Secret Service protection duties. Vice President Bush, Ronald Reagan, Al Gore and the Clintons were among some of her protectees. The best advice she received for these situations was "..always try to get assigned to the kitchen..that way you will never go hungry."
TAKEAWAY: Work hard, find your area of interest and listen, listen, listen to people who are more experienced."

Dengue fever Crack + Virus Outbreak in Children {Latest} 2022
Dengue Fever Crack is dengue fever hemorrhagic (DHF) has emerged as a global public health problem with countries in Asia and the Pacific sharing more than 70% of the disease burden. In –2022 a total of 312 cases admitted to Pediatric and Sea Port Hospitals in Port Sudan were clinically diagnosed as DHF. The mortality rate recorded was 3.8% (n = 12). Of the cases, 73.4% were patients years of age. A total of 91.2% of cases were admitted during May and June 2022 with 49.4% residing in the eastern region of Port Sudan.
Dengue viral infections are one of the most important mosquito-borne diseases in the world. They may be asymptomatic or may give rise to undifferentiated fever, dengue fever, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), or dengue shock syndrome. Annually, 100 million cases of dengue fever and half a million cases of DHF occur worldwide. Ninety percent of DHF subjects are children less than 15 years of age.
Dengue fever can easily be confused with non-dengue illnesses, particularly in nonepidemic situations. Depending on the geographical origin of the patient, other etiologies including non-dengue flavivirus infections should be ruled out[11]. These include yellow fever, Japanese encephalitis, St Louis encephalitis, Zika, and West Nile, alphaviruses (such as Sinbis and chikungunya), and other causes of fever such as malaria, leptospirosis, typhoid, Rickettsial diseases (Rickettsia prowazeki, R. Mosseri, R. color, R. rickettsia, Orientia tsutsugamushi, Coxiella burner, etc.), measles, enteroviruses, influenza, and influenza-like illnesses, hemorrhagic fevers (Arenaviridae: Junin, etc.; Filoviridae: Marburg, Ebola; Bunyaviridae: hantaviruses, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, etc.).
During outbreaks, some patients may be seen presenting with fever with or without rash during the acute illness stage. some others may present with signs of plasma leakage while still others may be observed during the convalescent phase
One of the priorities in a suspected outbreak is to identify the causative agent so that appropriate public health measures can be taken and physicians can be encouraged to initiate appropriate acute illness management[13]. In such cases, the rapidity and specificity of diagnostic tests are more important than test sensitivity. Samples collected from febrile patients could be tested by nucleic acid methods in a well-equipped laboratory or a broader spectrum of laboratories using an ELISA-based dengue antigen detection kit. Serological assays may be used to determine the extent of outbreaks[14].
Vaccine trials are performed to measure vaccine safety and efficacy in vaccinated persons. The plaque reduction and neutralization test (PRNT) and the microneutralization assays are commonly used to measure protection correlates The assay is based on the principle that neutralizing antibodies inactivate the virus so that it is no longer able to infect and replicate in target cells.
After a second dengue virus infection, high-titer neutralizing antibodies are produced against at least two, and often all four, dengue viruses as well as against non-dengue flaviviruses[16]. During the early convalescent stage following sequential dengue infections, the highest neutralizing antibody titer is often directed against the first infecting virus and not the most recent one
At present, dengue is endemic in countries in the world. No vaccine is available for preventing this disease. Early recognition and prompt initiation of appropriate treatment are vital if disease-related morbidity and mortality are to be limited. This review outlines aspects of the epidemiology of dengue infections, the dengue virus and its mosquito vector, clinical features and pathogenesis of dengue infections, and the management and control of these infections.
"The concern is that for dengue fever there is no vaccine," like there is for yellow fever, says Vishvanath Nene, a molecular biologist at the J. Craig Venter Institute in Rockville, Md., and lead author of the paper presenting the genome, published in the online edition of Science. "There is no other method of control other than trying to target the mosquito itself."
Dengue is an infectious disease caused by female mosquito AEDES AEGYPTI. It is a mosquito-borne infection found in tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world[1]. Infection with dengue virus results in various conditions like pathological ranging from mild asymptomatic dengue fever to severe dengue hemorrhagic fever and dengue shock syndrome that causes death[2].
Epidemiology: Dengue has become one of the widest spreadable diseases globally. In India, an outbreak of dengue was recorded in 1812. A recent dengue distribution model has estimated 390 million dengue infections annually, out of which million cases occurred.
A double peak hemorrhagic fever epidemic occurred in India for the first time in Calcutta between July and March. Thus, there is an urgent need for improvement in surveillance to enable the authorities to prepare adequately for records of the outbreak[3].
Dengue Virus: This virus is also known as Flavivirus and they are spherical and 40-60 mm in diameter. It is an RNA virus that is enveloped contains three structural polypeptides two are glycosylated and replication in the cytoplasm[4]. The most potent vector having epidemic potential A. aegypti and other species are Aedes albopictus, A. stegomyia, A. polnesiensis, A. scutellaris, A. finally but in India, A. Tigris is very common. Four dengue viruses (types 1-4) within the genus flavivirus and family Flaviviridae, are the causative agents[5]. All four subtypes are found in India. Dengue virions are small particles with lipoprotein envelope and nucleocapsid of a single-stranded RNA genome with positive polarity. There is a close antigenic similarity between the four serotypes but the cross-protection in humans is at best partial and transient
Efficient and accurate diagnosis of dengue is of primary importance for clinical care (i.e. early detection of severe cases, case confirmation, and differential diagnosis with other infectious diseases), surveillance activities, outbreak control, pathogenesis, academic research, vaccine development, and clinical trials
A range of laboratory diagnostic methods has been developed to support patient management and disease control. The choice of diagnostic method depends on the purpose for which the testing is done (e.g. clinical diagnosis, epidemiological survey, vaccine development), the type of laboratory facilities and technical expertise available, costs, and the time of sample collection[9]. The below figure represent the Approximate timeline of primary and secondary dengue virus infections and the diagnostic methods that can be used to detect infection.
Many people especially children and teens feel no signs or symptoms during a mild case of dengue fever. When symptoms do occur, they usually begin 4 to 7 days after you are bitten by an infected mosquito[7].
Dengue fever causes a high fever of 104 F and these are the following symptoms:

Project Research Equipments to Source TechRadars
Equipped Projectile Systems Technology (UPST), a UK based company, is developing an upgrade for the U.S. Army's 155mm howitzer, a project that was funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).
The upgrade will improve the UH-60 Black Hawk's ability to carry a larger magazine, increase the projectile's velocity and increase the gun's penetration.
The UH's 155MM gun is the largest of its kind and the only one in the world that is armed with a 125mm howler cannon.
The 155MM is designed to fire a 120mm or 120mm burst projectile.
It has a barrel length of 690mm and weighs 3,800kg.
It was first fielded in 1943 and is still in use today.
The upgrade to the 155MM's 155-calibre cartridge, which is mounted on the turret, will improve its ability to penetrate armor.
The US Army has spent millions on upgrades to its 155mm Howitzer, and has made significant investments in new technology over the past few years.
The upgrades have been largely aimed at reducing its vulnerability to enemy counter-infantry fire, such as machine guns and rockets.
The new 155mm ammunition is designed specifically to increase the UHS-1's ability, as well as increasing the gunner's ability with the gun.
This new projectile is designed for a 120-degree trajectory and is capable of penetrating the same armor as a 125-mm Howler cannon fired at a target at 600 meters.
The company has designed the 155-mm UH Black Hawk to be capable of firing both a 120 and a 125 round magazine.
The 150-round magazine was added as part of the program to accommodate the new projectile.
The gunner must then remove the magazine and replace it with a new one.
The 105-mm round is also fitted to the gun and is more effective at piercing armor, as the 155mm gun is less effective against that type of armor.
With the 155 mm projectile, the 155/140-mm rounds are more effective against armor, but are slower to eject, making them less suitable for long-range engagements.
The 140-mm projectile is also a less effective projectile than the 155, but is capable at penetrating the hull of the U-boat.
It is used in the Navy's Sea Sparrow anti-submarine warfare platform and is the UAH's main projectile for the MQ-1 Predator and UH M2 Bradley attack helicopters.
The Army plans to purchase the 155 ammo and a 105-round mag.
The Navy and Marine Corps also plan to upgrade their 155/130mm rounds, according to DARPA.
Project Research will provide the technology and support for the upgrade to existing 155mm systems, according the company.
The development will be carried out under the umbrella of the UK Army's Project Research Engineering Branch, a division within the Defense Acquisition Office.

The Chicago Bears defense has had a ton of success this season, and much of it has come via their front seven. From the defensive line to the linebackers, they've been able to control the line of scrimmage and give offenses a hard time every week. However, there has been one nagging frustration. That being the edge rushers. Outside of Khalil Mack, nobody has really asserted themselves on at that position so far in eight games.
Aaron Lynch has done fine with 14 pressures and three sacks. The big disappointment is Leonard Floyd. He's had 196 pass rush snaps so far in 2018 and the former 1st round pick has 12 pressures and no sacks to show for it. One person who's grown fed up with him is Louis Riddick.
A former safety and longtime executive, the current ESPN analyst believes it's about time the Bears gave those snaps to somebody who can do something with them. He even had a name already in mind. Somebody who didn't get a chance to play this season until the trip to Buffalo last week, but didn't waste his opportunity.
Isaiah Irving arrived in Chicago with minimal fanfare in 2017. He was a moderately successful defensive end for San Jose State that the Bears front office liked. So he was signed as an undrafted free agent. After spending time on the practice squad last year, he was promoted to the active roster and has remained there since but has yet to get significant playing time.
At last he got a chance during the blowout in Buffalo and didn't waste them. In 29 pass rush snaps, he delivered two pressures including a sack. Think about that. Irving has played just 16.41% of the rush snaps that Floyd has and already has more sacks than him. This would explain why Riddick was interested in seeing him play more.
"I'll tell you what, there's another guy who kept jumping out at me in terms of how he plays the game. Alright? As just how he plays, his body type, and who I think honestly? They need to get on the field more.
That's Isaiah Irving, the outside linebacker from San Jose State. They need to play him. I'm not telling Vic Fangio what to do. I love Vic Fangio. Respect the heck out of him. That kid needs to be on the field more than Leonard Floyd if you ask me.
Irving has flashed consistently for the Bears since his rookie season. He has pass rush capability. They just haven't gotten him on the field because he wasn't really needed. Last year Floyd was playing better and they had veterans like Pernell McPhee, Willie Young, and Lamarr Houston in place. It's not the case this year and with Sam Acho injured and Floyd invisible? Riddick has a point.
Maybe it's time to get Irving more playing time. The Bears won't know what they really have until they give him a legitimate chance to play. If he flops, then they have their answer. Still, there's always the possibility he runs with it to greater success.


First of all, I want to wish you all a Happy New Year! For those of you who's been following my blog, you know I've just moved. Some of you might be curious to know how my new home/kitchen looks like. Well, I guess the kitchen is pretty much the center of the house. So, if you take a good look at the kitchen, you pretty much can tell how the rest of the house is, relatively. I just want to show you two pictures of my old kitchen as a comparison.
I like my old kitchen. There are many counter top space. Decent appliances, although nothing fancy, and for sure not top of the line products. To me, as long as everything functions well and works fine, I'm satisfied. You can say, I'm not a picky person. The lower left hand corner from the picture above shows the corner of our dinning table. That's the dining area where we have every meal. Although there's a formal dining area adjacent to the kitchen, we used that space as a play area for the kids.
Are you ready to take a look at the new kitchen? Just scroll down a bit after the drum roll please….
This is my new kitchen right before we moved in. Of course, I have filled up the counter top space with my junks by now! :P Is it lovely? You can imagine how much I love my new kitchen!!! The lower right hand corner from the above picture is our new dining area, with a pretty awesome view! You can take a closer look of the kitchen area from the picture below. I really love my new spacious and beautiful kitchen. I feel so blessed everyday when I prepared each meal for my family in this gorgeous kitchen.
Originally, I planned not to shared a not so good news with you on my post. Especially, on the New Year post. However, my heart is telling me otherwise. More so, when I talk about food and kitchen. Recently, my Grandmother (living overseas) has not been feeling so well because of a minor incident. She was in the ICU for a while and now she's back home with my aunt. However, she couldn't eat solid food and couldn't even keep her food down. There's a constant pain in her stomach that keeps her from getting a good rest. When I prepare delicious food for my family, it breaks my heart and makes me feel sad that my Grandmother couldn't even keep water or soup down in her stomach. Come to think of it, I've never prepared a meal or cook anything for my Grandmother! When I was young, she's always the one who cook and took care of us. After my family (parents and siblings) immigrated to the States, I don't even see my Grandmother often. I just hope my Grandmother will get better soon, real soon. If I get the chance, I really want to prepare a nice meal for her to enjoy. If you don't mind, please keep her in your prayers and wish her a speedy recovery.
On the brighter side, my Grandmother just became a Christian recently. My family has been praying for that for many years. That really is the best Christmas gift to us. Hopefully, her faith will give her new hopes. May she finds comfort and supports during this tough time.
Thank you for your precious time and prayers. Happy New Year again to you and your loved ones. Wishing you all a joyful, healthy, and prosperous 2011!
I couldn't help but smile after I typed and read the title of this post. It just happened to rhyme. While most of you must be busy in the kitchen preparing a feast for tonight's party, opening presents, having some wonderful time with your friends and family, or too busy checking emails with Christmas greetings, I just wanted to stop by with a quick post to wish all of you a blessed and Merry Christmas. Most importantly, I want to wish all of you good health.
After the feast you have for Christmas dinner, these Orange-Chocolate Meringue Kisses are refreshing and delightful to have for a sweet ending. They are airy and crunchy. The flavor will explode in your mouth as they melt away. I made 2 versions, one with mini chocolate chips and one without. I definitely recommend you to try the one with the chocolate chips. Chocolate and orange is one of my favorite flavor combination. These Meringue Kisses are easy to make, too. If you like any other flavor, go ahead and change up the Jell-O and extracts flavors in the recipe. I may try lime, or raspberry next, what do you think?
The unpacking at the new place is progressing really well. After opening more than 80 cartons, I'm a professional in opening boxes and can even do it with my eyes closed! **Do not attempt at home though** :P I say the organizing part is 90% done around the house. I'm so thrilled there are no more boxes lying around the living room, and so do my kids. I have just arranged their little play area in the living room over the weekend and they are so happy with their new play area! When I took out their toys from the cartons, they were so excited and treated the toys as if they were new. Isn't that wonderful?
Not sure if any of you have tried the famous Japanese Cheesecake before. They are crust-less, light as feather, fluffy and creamy, not too sweet and melt in your mouth kind of cake. They are more similar to French Cheesecake with the light and fluffy texture, if you must compare. Unlike the New York Cheesecake, which is dense and rich. So, you won't feel as guilty after having a huge piece of this Japanese Cheesecake. Trust me, you're going to want a huge piece of this cake! Better yet, I made it marbled (with chocolate) this time because my 3 year old son requested it. *Smile* Sure he has some sophisticated palates, just like his mother. hahaha… More than half of this cake was gone in less than a day! You know how delicious it was.
So, I baked another one over the weekend to bring to my parents' place for a gathering with my brothers, brother's in-laws and my niece. This year, we celebrated Christmas early at their house. Seems like everyone loves this marbled version as much as the plain one. Below is an old picture with the plain one I made for my son's 2nd birthday last year. I'll include both recipes and let you decided whichever one you want to try first. I love both of them!
Looking at these pictures really makes me hungry and want a piece of this cake now! Too bad they're all gone by now. Oh well, maybe I'll make another one tomorrow when I get up! If you do try this recipe, please kindly leave a comment and let me know how they turn out. Also, please tell me if you like this Japanese Cheesecake over the traditional version. I would love to hear from you.
It was fun to make these cookies, packaged them, and taste tested them along the way! The whole house smelled wonderful and it felt much more like home with the sweet smell of chocolate and cookies coming out of the oven! The best part is, I got to enjoy some extra ones. The picture below is the raw cookie dough waiting to be baked from the "assembly line" of my kitchen!
Ta-dah..…now they're cooling off on the rack. They'll all jump into the beautiful holiday take-out boxes (or my tummy) soon!
These Triple Chocolate Almond Cookies are really wonderful. They are crunchy outside and a little bit chewy inside. They have great chocolate and almond flavor in every bite. The almonds give it a nice nutty flavor and extra crunch. Everyone loves them. I've brought them to many different parties before and people always asked me for the recipe after they've tried them. It's really impossible to have just one! Luckily, each batch makes 48 cookies so there are plenty to share and to indulge together. Hope you all will make some and share with your family this holiday season.
Sorry, just can't help but bite into one when I was shooting these pictures. They are too delicious! :P Guess I'll be (happily) gaining weight this holiday season.
Happy Holidays everyone. Hope you'll all have a wonderful time with your family and love ones.
We've been using this "new" rice cooker, almost every day, for more than 12 months now. Before we purchased this new baby, we used an older model of Zojirushi rice cooker for more than a decade! Yes, they do last that long! That's why I love Zojirushi's products. Luckily Unfortunately, the non-stick coating of the inner cooking pan of the old cooker started to come off. That's why we have to consider getting a new cooker. Another option was to replace the inner cooking pan of the old one, which would only costs $35 to $40. Why did we spend that extra $250 or so? There are a few reasons, and I'm telling you, it's worth every single penny!
First of all, we've been eating brown rice for a few years now. However, the texture of the brown rice varies quite a bit with different brands. Some could be quite rough and chewy (especially true for the cheap brands). This new rice cooker features 2 options for brown rice, a regular brown and GABA Brown (aka germinated brown rice). It cooks the rice to a perfect consistency and texture every single time. For the GABA Brown option, it takes a lot longer to cook though and here's the explanation why. If you're interested to learn more about GABA rice's health benefits, simply click here.
Another reason that convinced me to get this new cooker was because my daughter started to eat solid food, and this cooker has the porridge option! Cooking porridge on the stove top is time consuming and needs a lots of attentions to prevent the rice from 'burning,' or to prevent the ingredients from sticking to the bottom of the pot. With this rice cooker, making porridge is a breeze. Simply chop and dump all the ingredient into the cooking pan, press a button, and you're all set! It's that simple!
Also, this rice cooker comes with sushi rice, mixed rice and sweet rice cooking options. There are quite a few recipes that come along with the user menu for reference as well.
Last but not least, you'll hear the twinkle twinkle little star melody when you press the "cooking" button! Of course, I didn't know about this feature until the first time I cook with it. My kids just love the melody whenever I cook rice! hahahaha….
Finally, we've moved in to the new house! I still couldn't believe we've more than 80 cartons of stuffs! Please don't ask me what is inside these cartons. I have no idea... even though I was the one who packed 90% of them. It took the moving company more than 12 hours to move everything from the old house to the new house! It'll take me forever a while to unpack and organize everything for sure. So, I'm going to keep my post short and sweet. Of course, I'll still spend time to write up and post my recipes! ;) That's actually the best method to unwind a long "unpacking" day!
After the huge Thanksgiving feast, I craved for something more refreshing. I thought of these Meyer Lemons Macarons with Limoncello Buttercream! Not only they are refreshing and delicious, they are also addictive, dangerously addictive! They are lemony, creamy, crunchy, chewy, rich, silky, and smooth all in one bite. Did I mention they are addictive?! Oh my, maybe my body is telling me I need some alcohol in the system! If you're not into limoncello, you can totally opt it out from the recipe. I've made both versions and the kids' friendly one is just as good.


The metal sheet warehouse rack consists of a combination of a horizontal metal sheet rack horizontal (lower block) and a metal sheet forklift rack (upper block). The lower block contains drawers which can be pulled out 100%. In the upper block, the sheets are placed in cassettes, which can safely be transported with the forklift. With this combination, you obtain an efficient storage system with a high capacity to store metal sheets on a very small surface.
Also other dimensions are possible.
The horizontal metal sheet rack consists of drawers on wheels which are 100% extendable outside the rack. Every drawer, and thus every metal sheet, becomes completely available for transport to the cutting or punching machine. Your metal, alu, galva or stainless steel sheets are always available and easy for handling, this means loading and unloading in the most secure manner.
The metal sheet forklift rack consists of cassettes which can be retrieved with the forklift. The forklift lifts the cassettes into or out of the rack, using the openings in the cassettes. Accordingly, the forks of the forklift cannot touch the metal sheets so there can be no damaged to them.
