GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNC Greensboro women's basketball (9-14, 3-5 Southern Conference) beat Wofford (11-12, 3-5) in its annual Pink Game Wednesday night at Fleming Gym. Leading by just three points at the end of the third quarter, the Spartans outscored the Terriers 25-12 in the final 10 minutes to cruise to the SoCon victory.
Wofford led for the first 18 minutes with the help of a 7-2 run to end the first quarter for a 20-13 lead. The Spartans clawed back to gain a lead with a 13-4 run. Boyd scored eight of her season-high 21 points during the run.
UNCG opened the second half on a 9-1 run for a 39-30 lead. Wofford was able to cut it to a one-possession game at the end of the third quarter, but that would be the closest the Terriers came the rest of the game.
Boyd was one of four Spartan starters with at least 10 points. Nadine Soliman poured in 20 points, and Alexis Pitchford (13) and Te'ja Twitty (11) also reached the double-digit mark.
UNCG finishes its two-game homestand with Furman Saturday at 4 p.m.
- Soliman moved ahead of Brianne Dodgen (1998-2002) for the fourth-most career points (1,431) in program history. She now needs 34 points to move into third place ahead of Melinda Goodson (1996-2000).
- Boyd and Twitty tied for a team-high eight rebounds. Soliman pulled down six boards, including five on the defensive end.
- The Spartans went 21-24 (87.5%) at the charity stripe to set a new season-high for free throw percentage in a game. The 21 makes were the second-most all year behind 23 in a victory over Pfeiffer.
- The Spartans recorded all six blocks in the game. Boyd blocked a game-high three shots, setting a new season-high.
- Pitchford notched a new season-high in scoring for her third double-digit performance of the year by going 3-6 from the field, including 2-4 from three, and 5-6 at the line.
- UNCG limited Wofford to 32% (20-63) shooting from the field and 24% (4-17) from three.

In Abuja, hiking is all the rage
They are united by the spirit of adventure. They are bankers, doctors, entrepreneurs and artists. When they set out, they plan to tour, sport, stay fit and have loads of fun. They are Abuja hikers.
Abuja hiking groups go by different names. One is known as 'Strides, Adventures and Tours', founded by Chukwuma Sesan Nwuba, a banker, and Blessing Tangban, a singer. In 2015 when the two went hiking, they enjoyed the experience so much that the next time, they invited friends. So, through the word of mouth, the group swelled.
OVER 5,000 NIGERIAN MEN HAVE OVERCOME POOR BEDROOM PERFORMANCE SYNDROME DUE TO THIS BRILLIANT DISCOVERY. CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE
In 2016 they decided to expand the group since a lot more people were interested. They went on social media to invite more adventurers. This was how 'Strides, Adventures and Tours' was officially born.
"We simply post that we are going hiking and anyone who is interested joins us," Nwuba said. "Now they are between 150 and 200 registered members, although there are those who partake once in a while and aren't registered."
The hiking group visits tourist attractions around Abuja. From Apo, Kubwa, Lugbe and many other parts of the capital city. But before they go out, Nwuba and Tangban scout places they intend to visit ahead of the group. Satisfied, they then plan the hike.
'Strides, Adventures and Tours' also plans trips outside Abuja. "We have been to places like the Gurara Waterfalls in Niger State and Farin Ruwa Waterfalls in Nasarawa," Nwuba added.
The group aims to encourage domestic tourism. "Since we are passionate about tourism we realise that not many people know about the tourist attractions in our country. We decided to encourage others to visit such places," he said.
Nwuba also pointed out that they are also trying to "infuse a bit of fitness into it because hiking isn't very easy, especially when it's long."
Another hiking group is Mood House Dynasty (MHD) run by Jerry Doubles. It all started due to Doubles' love for the outdoors. Eventually, he thought of how to get like-minded people together, those who needed a get-away from life's Monday to Friday hustle and bustle.
"The first part of the idea was to go out and explore, but other things soon followed," Doubles said. "When we go out we explore tourist sites. We have been to Yankari Game Reserve and so on. We also promote healthy living. Hence the hike, aerobics and sporting events. Sometimes we go running. So, healthy living and tourism is the basis of our organisation."
Hiking for this group began in September 2016 under what was called 'Jos Hike It' in Jos, Plateau State, until there was need for expansion. So, MHD Abuja started in November 26 the following year and is presently also in Lagos, Kaduna and Bauchi.
Like 'Strides, Adventures and Tours' MHD also used social media to get people together with an intriguing theme that says, 'We Make Love Not war'.
"When people show interest, we add them to the group. There are people who have gotten jobs, visas, become friends, and gotten married in the group," Doubles said.
Now they are over a hundred in Abuja, while their counterparts in Jos are over a thousand. So, the future does look adventurous for these hikers. Doubles pointed out that, "Right now in Jos, despite the crises, people from different religions and ethnic groups, from Canada and Bangladesh meet and unite as hikers."
But like every other thing in life, hikers in Abuja face challenges. For instance, cofounder of 'Strides, Adventures and Tours', Nwuba, said transportation poses a problem for the team.
"It costs a lot to organise trips outside Abuja, particularly because we are trying to achieve it at minimal cost. It's usually very expensive to get something good when you are hiring a bus," he said.
The group leaves nothing to chance, Nwuba explained. They provide first aid and ensure members who are medical practitioners tag along just in case someone gets injured.
"We don't just go out and hope for the best. We make sure that there's hardly any chance of anyone getting injured. So, we take the safest route and not necessarily the easiest, Nwuba added.
There are other hiking groups that have spilled over to Nigeria. One of them is Abuja Hash House Carriers, an international hiking group that is probably the most adventurous. Part of the tradition is for participants, who are called 'hashers', to not know trails they need to follow, such as that of shredded paper.
Hikers and Abuja have fun in different ways while hiking. Sometimes it may be a buffet, at other times a picnic or pool party. However, at the end of the day, they have fun touring the country

I held my first solo show – Street Stories – in January 2016 at the lovely vintage interior store and gallery Dusty Deco in Stockholm. I was also "Artist of the Month" with a show I called Water at Kaknästornet, Stockholm during September/October. During Easter 2017 I exhibited pictures from Slussen, Stockholm at Galleri Greger, an exhibition which is currently being repeated at The Loungery.

Q: Terminal-Browser with Flash I want to know if it's possible to enter a Flash site from the terminal. I'm playing a web-game based on Flash, so I want to make my server consume as low CPU as possible. I saw that I can do it, but didn't find one with Flash support. Does anyone knows one?

A: Short and sweet: No.
A terminal is only capable of displaying text. Flash is far more advanced than just text. The terminal browsers out there display nothing more than the text of websites. It is simply not possible to embed Flash support on a terminal browser.

Hayley Atwell, the Captain America actress, is planning to play pranks on Dominic Cooper on the set of Agent Carter.
While she was appearing in The Pride in the West End, Hayley Atwell filled her co-star Mat Horne's dressing room with 4,000 multi-coloured plastic balls.
The new show is a spin-off from Atwell's Captain America. The actress assures me that she will capture as many of her pranks on Cooper on video for the Mandrake website as possible.
Whatever else might be said about Sir Tim Rice's From Here to Eternity, it was never blessed with much good luck.
Now, an attempt to breathe some new life into the late, unlamented West End show with a big screen version has gone horribly wrong. I hear that it came down with a bad case of the Jamaica Inns: the actors' voices were out of sync with their lips on the screen at Cineworld Haymarket, and, for the last 10 minutes, it all went completely black.
Sir Tim was said to be distinctly unamused and left before a mooted question and answer session with journalists. Yesterday, he was unavailable for comment and a spokesman insisted the Q&A they had mentioned had been based on a misapprehension. The film of the show is still due to be released on July 3 when hopefully the technical issues will be resolved.
Theresa May and her champagne-swilling entourage occupied a fair chunk of the first four rows of business class in the British Airways afternoon service to Luxembourg yesterday.
Handbags proved to be a problem before take off: one or two didn't seem aware that they had to be stowed away.

How Old Is Bruce A Hero's Journey
In order to know if Bruce's life was already determined at seven we must examine Bruce's aspirations at age seven. Bruce seemed to have two major dreams at age seven, one of them was to become a missionary and the second one was to see his father. Just from his kind and loving nature and his eagerness to help people I predicted he would help people in some form as an adult. I originally believed he would open up a charity or work for one, but at fourteen it became apparent that he was very shy, and often kept to himself. He stated that he could never be a missionary because he was not good at public speaking, and did not enjoy it at all. However, despite not being a missionary, at age seven he already knew that he wanted to help people, and…show more content…
At the age of seven, Bruce said that his greatest desire was to see his father, who was a soldier in Rhodesia. Since his father was in the army, he was never there for his son; as a consequence Bruce had trouble building relationships with those around him for the majority of his young adulthood. However, he experienced a drastic change in his forties, where he finally got married and had two children. This was the first time in his life that Bruce appeared to be genuinely happy and content. Bruce loved his children dearly and he "Just [wanted] to protect [his] kids from everything that could harm them". He even sacrificed his dream to be an international cricket player to take care of them. Although he never actually got to build a relationship with his own father, he built a loving and supportive relationship with his own kids. Looking at how much he valued having a close relationship with his father at age seven was very reflective of how much he valued his family at age forty…show more content…
At seven years old Bruce was shy and had little confidence in himself, and that continued throughout most of his young adulthood. Bruce states that when he looks back at himself at seven "[he] can't really recognize [himself]". The boy at seven seemed a little bit lost and a little bit sad, but at forty nine he was content and reasonably happy. Once Bruce made the decision to start prioritizing his own happiness it completely changed his personality, and he became much more confident and happy. Thus, as we saw in Bruce, the decisions he made in life , and the consequences of those decisions effected the way he saw himself and interacted with those around
Batman And Gilgamesh Essay
From that point, it is when he begins the path of trials in his search for Utnapishtim, which requires passing through the darkness of Mount Mashu guarded by scorpion-men and eventually crossing the waters of death. The scorpion-men said to Gilgamesh: "It is impossible, Gilgamesh, nobody has passed through the mountain's inaccessible tract." This, in fact, shows the characteristics of courage, bravery, and superhuman strength that Gilgamesh acquires as a hero. Like Gilgamesh, Bruce also acquires those characteristics through his heroic quest. However, Bruce's path is more traditional than Gilgamesh's. At the beginning, Ra's al Ghul's training serve as trials that make Bruce stronger and more aware of what he is going to deal with in the outside. Later on, he experiences many adventures fighting crime in the streets of Gotham. Along the way, Bruce encounters a woman named Rachel Dawes, who is the assistant District Attorney and his child love, which he develops a relationship with. Rachel says to Bruce: "It's not who you are underneath. It's what you do that defines you." Although, her intensions are to inspire Bruce to be good, she takes on the role of a temptress because every time Bruce is with her, it makes him want to give up the role of Batman. Thus, once can say that both Bruce and Gilgamesh are brave and strong heroes that are determined to achieve their goals and no obstacles will stop them from continuing their
Batman as a Man Who May be Suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder
Many of us have grown up watching cartoons throughout our childhood. Of the many cartoons on television is Batman. This cartoon has been on television for many years. It is a story of a man who is a successful businessman during the day and a mysterious superhero by night. Bruce Wayne is the man who is this mysterious man with the two identities. He is both Bruce Wayne and Batman. Only a selected few know both of his identities. Many of us have grown up thinking that he is a great man and a great superhero. Yet, why is it that we do not question how unusual the whole situation is? If we take a closer look, we can find that he is a disturbed man who may
Batman Hero's Journey
Bruce Wayne is a very complicated individual due to his hero archetype with wide range persona and visible shadow that presents itself through Batman. The scene that captures overall personality is the scene that shows Alfred and Bruce talking after Rachel Dawes' death, 1:38:00-1:39:15. The scene opens up with Bruce Wayne sitting in the apartment, in Batman armour, rationalizing the situation and facing the damage that has been caused over his pursuit of the Joker. Bruce Wayne feels as though Gotham city needs a true hero and Batman does not seem to cut it anymore. As he states himself, "Gotham needs its true hero and I let that murdering psychopath blow him half to hell" (Nolan 2008). Bruce sees that he is no longer able to control the situation

Next when in the warehouse with Jim Gordon they team up together to stop Gotham from being cut off completely.
The Dark Knight Trilogy Hero's Journey
Having reached his goals, having saved his people, Batman doesn't see a need to return to normal life and pain. When "The Dark Knight Rises" story begins, Bruce Wayne is now a deep hiding in his manor.
Bruce Wayne Turning Points
The deep scar that having his parents murdered right in front of him caused him to pursue a life of justice. At a young age, Bruce swore that he would stop the evil that had killed his parents.Bruce believed that instead of trying to reform people he had to instead remove the dangerous weeds of society before they contaminated everything else so he began to get involved in a number of practices. Wayne learned a many various martial arts and practical skills from various teachers and universities. A turning point in Bruce's life was when he tried to join the FBI but realized that he wouldn't be able to achieve the justice that he desired with the limitations that the legal system had.("Batman.")
The Time Of Television Show
At age 42 Bruce had finally gotten married and had kids at age 42 as well. Bruce had a dream to play professional cricket but never did. Instead he coaches a team and plays for fun. Bruce had a lack of love while he was growing up. It was hard for him as his parents were divorced. When Bruce had kids it became hard to fully give them the love they deserved since he did not know how it felt. Bruce had a healthy relationship with his wife Penny. They barely fight and try to look at life in a positive aspect. Having good communication within their family was very important to Bruce and Penny.
Who Is Batman A Hero
A boy's father is one of the most important figures of his life. A father teaches his son respect and dignity, molding his child into a man. Without a father, Batman had no one to depend upon, no one to tell him who he was or even who he couldn't be. That is until he met Alfred Pennyworth. After the death of Wayne's parents, Alfred took Bruce in. He became Batman's father, mentoring and teaching Bruce everything he knows today. Wayne continuously depends on Alfred time after time when he needs insight or guidance, knowing fully well he can trust Alfred. Ultimately, Alfred is the true reason Batman is the hero of Gotham City.

The Dark Night And The Clown Prince Of Crime Essay
To illustrate, while walking home from a cinema, Bruce Wayne's mother and father, Martha and Thomas, walked into the infamous "crime alley." There, an unknown robber shot and killed both of them. Bruce swore to avenge his parent's death. Soon after, a friend of Martha and Thomas Wayne, Dr. Leslie Thompkins, along with the Wayne family's butler, Alfred Pennyworth, made out a plan for Bruce where he would not have to be taken by Gotham's Social Services. Instead, the two helped young Bruce realize his destiny in becoming one of Gotham's finest heroes.
The Modern Medieval Hero
Bruce Wayne was only but a child when he watched helplessly as his parents were gunned down in front of him during a mugging in Gotham City. This crime would come to define his life. To the public, he would excel and succeed his father and become the heir and millionaire of the Wayne corporation. In secret, he would dedicate himself to becoming one of the world's greatest weapons against crime—the Batman.
Christopher Drohan's Alfred, The Dark Knight Of Faith
In Christopher Drohan's Alfred, The Dark Knight of Faith: Batman and Kierkegaard, it is shown that simple people could mold a person in becoming a superhero. As the article says, Alfred is not just a butler in Bruce Wayne's life, he stand as his confidant and perhaps the closest thing that he has to a father. I realized that even in the simplest person can make a great impact on the famous hero's life.
Literary Techniques In The Film 'Batman Begins'
Through the beginning of "Batman Begins", the creators of the movie used flashbacks to detail the journey of Bruce Wayne and how he has changed from the beginning of the movie to the end. By showing the flashback of Bruce Wayne in the car with Rachel, the creator of the movie managed to show the audience where Bruce Wayne stood on a moral level and how he was the complete opposite of what he came to be as the movie progressed. In the car scene, Rachel tells Bruce that his father would be ashamed of him for considering murder as a form of justice and a way to make a change. The use of flashback also played a role in how Bruce overcame his fear of bats and managed to make it into a symbol.
Problem Definition in Relation to Structure in "Batman Begins"
Thomas Wayne, Bruce's father, also educates him on the value of picking yourself back up when you fall and the entire scene turns into a metaphor for helping the weak. Thomas takes Bruce around the city on the metro station Thomas developed to keep the city connected which is a metaphor for giving Bruce his solution for the crumbling structure. As the director wants to bring in the crime and corruption in Gotham City, Thomas takes the family to the Opera and Thomas and his wife are abruptly shot and killed in the alleyways of Gotham City. After Bruce's traumatic event he is comforted by Officer Gordon. Officer Gordon is the current answer to crime and corruption but Bruce realized at a young age there is good in everyone and that his parent's deaths were a result of a struggling and corrupt structure.
Bruce And Alison-Personal Narrative
In the graphic novel, we do not really see Bruce connect with his children, but we later do with Alison; thus he redefines his character. In pages 220 and 221, we see Bruce and Alison in the car together, and Bruce starts talking about his past as a young adult. He informs to Alison that there was a boy he was interested in, and he went on describing a description of the boy. As the reader is seeing the sort of trust between Bruce, and Alison, we acknowledge the fact that Bruce is letting part of his family into his personal secretive life that kept alone for such a long time. We seeing the frames on page 220, his facial expression, as it goes from looking stern to widen eyes back to stern, and wide eyes with his hands covering his mouth.


Special package with beer bike ride and gun shooting. The package of 10 x AK-47, 6 x 12 Gauge Shotgun and 6 x Glock pistol. Start you Riga stag weekend experience with amazing gun shooting and afterwards go for a 1 hour long beer bike ride in the Old town by enjoying 5 bottles of beer for each person.
The routes are well selected to provide full security while enjoying our time on beer bike. There are also seat belts to make sure we don't fall off :D The same at the shooting range - detailed safety instructions, good instructors. We enjoyed both of the experiences and I am especially grateful to Mr Toms for his positive and fun attitude. Thanks. Hope to see you again.
We did this package due to our friends stag do in Riga. We liked the beer bike - good location, delicious beer. Nothing to complain. Shooting experience was also a good one, only few of the guns kept jamming all the time and it kind a ruined all fun of this. Instructor said that sometimes it happens since guns are used daily for many groups. Offer is good but I only wish shooting would work out better.
We just decided to try it out with friends, cos we've seen it many times on the streets in other cities during our trips bet never been doing that. It was awesome! The beer was cold, and tasted great! The driver was nice! And also while we were drinking we could see the sites! And these offer when you can have beer bike with some other experience is very good idea. The price for both activities is very good and advantageous/ If you take both activities additionally it will definitely cost more. We enjoyed the beer biking and shooting. It was awesome experience.
Took a while to get into but eventually got a nice experience. There was some delay with a group before us why our ride was delayed for 15 minutes, the same as our shooting experience. But all along it was good experience if we do not count this time mixup.
One thing is that you book this package but other how you are treated. We experienced just awesome experience. Our group of 10 decided to go with beer bike and shooting package. These are two most popular activities in Riga. We were advised to do shooting first since we all must be sober for that. Our group was picked up from our hotel with minivan and nice guide. She was very funny and nice. At the range there was this guy, the main guy, he told us a lot of jokes and laughed our assess off :DD Shooting was just great. the package is jsut perfect for beginners - you get to shoot with pistols, shotgun and ak rifle. Instructions been told very professional. After the shooting we took some cool photos all together posing with guns. After the shooting experience our guide took us to Old town for our beer bike ride. We really enjoyed the beer after shooting and our ride. Greta fun, Thank a lot.
My group of 8 people visited Riga last month. We browsed a lot of websites to find something interesting. At first we wanted to do Beer Bike only, but our manager offered many other options like target shooting, karting and etc. We combined Target shooting experience and Beer Bike tour and it was really exciting! Thank you very much.
We booked special offer Beer Bike + target shooting through the website and paid the deposit in 2 month advance. I was surprised with the service as they called me 2 days before the event and offered their assistance. Everything was well organised on the day, transportation option is very good. Thank you, we will get back to you next summer!
Best package we had in Riga. Shooting with guns and beer bike. I recommend.
Perfectly planed package and timing. We were picked up from our hotel to the range where we had our package and after the shooting they took us to the beer bike. It was already finishing the ride with previous group and started our ride immediately. Great beer and atmosphere.
We have booked their Beer Bike + shooting offer. Instructor at the shooting range was kind and explained us how to shoot + told us some facts about the guns. Beer Bike was really good, but it was a rain so we didn't enjoy it as much as we could.

Q: Angular performance tracking What is best and recommended way to track an Angular application performance? I can use many other available techniques/api's like performance.now to track and  google analytics/application insight to send custom performance counters.
But my question is do we have something built-in inside Angular for this purpose or a recommend third party module/library that helps to track angular application performance?

A: Sounds like you are looking for something like Perfume.js: https://zizzamia.github.io/perfume/#/angular/
It tracks things like First Contentful Paint and First Input Delay for user interaction.

A: I also recommend using the package perf-marks. It's an isomorphic, simple, and lightweight solution for User Timing API in Javascript -  only 208B used in projects such as Jira, Confluence, and Bitbucket. Tree-shaking and entry points built-in. Also, you can use it on your browser or NodeJS sides.

Should your housekeeper be bonded and insured?
You're looking to hire someone to clean your house, mow your yard or baby-sit your kids.
But can you just hire the retiree across the street or the teen down the block, or do you need to find someone who is licensed, bonded and insured?
It may all come down to how much risk you're willing to take on.
"It's a value judgment people have to make on their own," says William K. Austin, co-founder of Austin Stanovich Risk Managers LLC, an independent risk management consulting and insurance advisory company with offices in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
When it comes to hiring people such as lawn-care workers and housecleaners, "with routine stuff like that I'm not really worried," Austin says.
But he and other insurance experts say it s important to have the proper insurance in place on both your side and the service provider s, and ensure that it will cover things that might happen, he says.
So if your cleaning woman falls down your stairs and injures herself, it would be covered under the liability and medical payments to others portions of your homeowners insurance policy .
But you also need to consider whether your insurance will cover you if the person you hire does something that injures you or damages your property, he says. If someone is mowing your yard and a rock flies up and hits you in the head, your health insurance should cover whatever medical care you might require, Austin says.
But you should verify that you have the coverage you need.
"There's a good chance these workers will be covered by your homeowners or renters policy, but each company treats things a little differently," says Randy Petro, vice president of claims for Mercury Insurance in Orange County, California.
Even if the injury or damage is covered, a significant claim on your homeowners policy can have a big impact on what you pay for coverage, says Insurance.com Managing Editor Des Toups. Some homes are already difficult to insure. You don t want to file a claim that might make insuring them with a standard policy impossible, he says.
Teresa Leigh, owner of Teresa Leigh Household Risk Management, with offices in New York City and Raleigh, North Carolina, is a big advocate of hiring only those people who are properly licensed, bonded and insured.
That means they have a business license, have the proper insurance and have made payments to a surety company for protection by a bond.
If you're hiring someone such as a painter or chimney sweep, Leigh says you should request that the individual or company provides you with a copy of their certificate of insurance, Leigh says.
If the work you've hired someone to do isn't completed correctly or in the time frame scheduled, you can file a claim with the surety company and be paid. The bond may also cover damage or theft that occurs.
If the worker is injured at your home or your property is damaged or stolen, their insurance company would cover the loss, not yours.
Austin also recommends requesting a certificate of insurance from anyone you hire who is undertaking a bigger job, such as installing a pool or reroofing your house, where there is a greater risk that someone might be injured or your property might be damaged.
"I would definitely recommend hiring licensed and bonded workers or contractors if you can, as that means they will have their own workers comp insurance that will cover them while they work in your home," says Petro.
That is also the recommendation of the Better Business Bureau, which says hiring a house cleaner who is licensed, bonded and insured is "crucial," and you need to verify that the information is legitimate and current.
You also need to be sure that the person you hire to do work for you isn't considered your employee under federal law. If they are, it could open up a whole array of tax issues. It also means you may need to be providing workers compensation insurance, Leigh says.
"Many homeowners will get this confused and think they aren't responsible when they are," Leigh says.
One way to avoid those kinds of problems is to hire someone who is employed by an agency, or be sure that the individual you hire is licensed, bonded and insured.

I am guessing that my directive.js gets loaded and compiles 1st , after that the tag gets inserted , so it does not replace it.

Cuddy Leads Cardinals To Second Win To Start The Season
The St. Mary's Cardinals took advantage of four Clearwater-Orchard turnovers to bring their season record to 2-0, topping the Cyclones 28-16.
St. Mary's took an early lead, ending the first quarter up 8-0. The Cardinals scored one more time in the second to take a 14-0 lead before Clay Thiele recovered a bad snap in the end zone to tighten the score, 14-8.
In the second half, St. Mary's began to pull away. They used a consistent run game and effective play-action game to keep the Cyclones on their heels. Two quarterback dives on the goal line by St. Mary's quarterback Josh Cuddy gave the Cardinals a 28-8 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Cyclone quarterback Blake Hoke added a quarterback dive of his own in the fourth quarter to bring the score to 28-16. A big punt return by Creston Bertschinger gave Clearwater-Orchard hope, but a costly fumble would allow St. Mary's to run the time out on a drive that included two fourth-down conversions.
Cuddy completed 8 of his 9 passing attempts for 121 yards and a touchdown on the night. He also carried the ball 29 times for 78 yards and three more touchdowns. Andrew Thompson hauled in four of those completions for 38 yards while Pete Blumenstock accounted for 51 yards receiving.
Cuddy also accounted for nine tackles and an interception on defense. Zac Wiese added an interception of his own as well.
Now 2-0 in 2016, the Cardinals turn their focus their game with Wausa next Friday night.

Writing essays seem the most unwanted and least desired task to students of high and middle school. They prefer to involve themselves in interesting tasks rather than composing lengthy and complicated essays. The main reason is that students like to discover new things and learn new stuff. If the assignment is about experimenting and finding out latest trends then would pretty much love it. However, to compose an essay every other week seems to be a dull task with nothing new to learn. Some students also face problems because they are not familiar with the topic or subject the teacher requires them to write about. Another reason could be the type of essay. As students promote to higher grades they are introduced to new types of essays, which they have never attempted before. For instance, a student might panic because he does not know what a process essay is and he has never written one before. In such a situation, the best way is to look for help and find someone who can help you write your paper. Even if that is not possible, you can then look for high quality examples that you can follow for your paper.
If you are wondering how and where you will find high quality examples to give you guidelines for your assignment then you need to look at the following sources.
The internet is undoubtedly best source for finding great examples to follow for your paper.

How TikTok led Canadian R&B performers Shawn Desman and Jully Black to a new generation of fans
A generation of Canadian artists who came up during the early and mid-2000s — an era without major social media megaphones and without digital music streaming services — are now turning to those platforms to stage a comeback.
Older artists are finding new audiences on the short-form video platform

Maybe you haven't heard the name Shawn Desman in a while.
The 40-year-old R&B crooner behind hits like Electric, Shook and Get Ready — known to some as Canada's answer to Justin Timberlake in the early and mid-2000s, an energetic performer and dancer with a smooth, sexy sound — hasn't released an album since 2013.
His life and luck changed this summer when his label urged him to download TikTok. He'd been riding the high of performing at Drake's OVO All Canadian North Stars show in July, a reunion concert in Toronto that featured the most popular artists from the heyday of Canadian R&B and hip-hop.
Over 64,000 followers later, Desman is making music again, performing to sold-out crowds — and he's found a new generation of fans to sing with.
"Let's just call it 2010, when I put out Night Like This, Shiver, Electric. If there was social media the way it is now, I feel like it would be a different day for me," Desman said.
Shawn Desman is back with a new sound after stepping away from music nearly a decade ago
A matured generation of Canadian artists who came up during the early and mid-2000s — an era without major social media megaphones and without digital music streaming services — are now turning to those platforms to stage a comeback.
"Social media and streaming has totally changed the game," Desman said.
TikTok giving a boost
Jully Black knows what he means. Until this year, the Toronto-born R&B veteran behind hits like Seven Day Fool and Sweat of Your Brow hadn't released an album since 2015.
She jumped on the TikTok train in early 2021 — and found a connection she didn't quite have when she was a fledgling artist in the mid-1990s and early 2000s.
"What I can appreciate now is being able to directly speak to the fans on social media," she told CBC News. She has over 26,000 of them following her on TikTok.

Shawn Desman and Jully Black on how social media and streaming 'changed the game'
The Canadian R&B singers both made their return to the music scene in 2022 and have found new audiences on TikTok.
Amidst a string of high-profile 2022 performances where she sang with her contemporaries and her successors alike, Black released a new album, Three Rocks and a Slingshot, in September.
As it racks up listens on Spotify, she says streaming feels different compared to the gesture of buying physical media.
"When you would sell a CD, an actual $10 CD, $15 CD, it was a whole other thing. Because you knew that person went to the store, they really wanted that song, they really wanted that album," she said.
While TikTok is becoming a popular choice for older musicians who want to rediscover their audiences, it's also an accessible launching pad for today's crop of new artists who don't have a traditional entryway into the music industry.
It's a jam-packed arena — not necessarily an issue for Black when she was one of few women in Canada's 2000s R&B and soul scene, she said.
"It's crowded; don't get it twisted. Every single day, new music, new music, new music. So how do you quiet the noise, stand out from the crowd?" Black added.
What I can appreciate now is being able to directly speak to the fans on social media.
Shannon Burns, an entertainment correspondent with iHeartRadio and a host on Virgin Radio, noted that a crop of older artists are joining TikTok, meeting a demand for nostalgia that she says began during the pandemic.
"We're being reminded that these people are still out there and exist, and I think the artists are being reminded that a lot of their fans are still out there," she said.
Victoria-born Nelly Furtado has an account; Nickelback has a presence, too; and B.C. rockers Mother Mother became a TikTok sensation in 2020 when their music went viral on the app, leading to a surge in streams on Apple Music and Spotify.
Even MuchMusic, the beloved channel that existed as a showcase for Canadian artists and music in the '80s, '90s and 2000s, was revived in 2021 as a "digital-first" entity on TikTok. It has two million followers as of Oct. 26.

"There's a lot of people, too, who remember the music and they get excited about it," Burns said. "They have all these memories of nostalgia that come back."
Black concurred: "A song, a tone, a texture, a timbre can remind you of a different era."
Streaming services help reach global audiences
It's been a whirlwind few months for Desman, who was inspired to get back into a recording studio after a pep talk from one of the world's most famous artists.
As the R&B artist tells it, Drake pulled him aside after his OVO set to ask him some straightforward questions: What are you doing? Why are you not making music?
"That really hit me. I was just like, man, life happens. I have three kids. I'm busy being a dad and I kind of lost the love of music for a little bit," he recalled.
"And he's like, 'No, no, no, scratch all that. Shawn Desman needs to make music again.' And I can honestly say Drake changed my life that night," Desman said. "He really did."

Shawn Desman on how Drake changed his life: 'You're different, eh, bro?'
The Canadian R&B singer performed at Drake's OVO All Canadian North Stars show this summer, where the rapper gave him a life-changing pep talk backstage.
The domino effect was immediate, he added. His phone rang off the hook; he received calls from digital streaming services, asking when he'd be releasing more music.
The performance led him to TikTok, which he calls "a full-time job." Within a month on the app, he'd reached 50,000 followers, and people were approaching him on the street.
But they didn't recognize him from his early records or dance-heavy music videos: they'd just seen him on their algorithmic "discover" page on the app.
"In the beginning, I was like, no, not doing it. I don't have time. Can't do it," he said. Now, he regularly posts videos of himself dancing with his seven-year-old daughter, or quizzing fans with trivia about his career, or hyping up his new song, Maniac.
"When I was putting out records, you had to go to the store, buy the album," he said. "Now everybody across the world, the day music comes out, you can hear it. Doesn't matter where you are."

Desman has over 165,000 monthly listeners on Spotify (Drake, for reference, has about 60 million). His earliest tracks — like 2002's Shook — are some of his most popular, with over two million streams.
The impact isn't lost on the artist, who was dropped by his label, Universal Music Canada, in 2015. After an uphill battle of challenges, he's back to making music, and he's never been happier.
"Just think of the reach us artists coming out in the early 2000s, mid-2000s would've had if we had all these platforms," he said.

Experience isn't always an advantage. A new report reveals the group of nurses who are most likely to know their way around new technology: the younger, less experienced ones.
The embrace of new technology is usually generational both at home and in the workplace. However, the report by the University of California – San Francisco, raises less obvious concerns about the way new technology is implemented.
The study, released in December 2016, suggests that many facilities don't have a seamless process for training staff in new technology, and that staff education may be considered a lesser priority.
After conducting small-group interviews at 15 nursing homes, it was found that younger, less experienced nurses were most interested in learning new technology, and were most likely to become "point people" for helping other, older staff members.
Generally, the factor that made the difference in training comprehension: the presence of younger, less experienced nurses, rather than the nurses with years of experience.
The study rated overall levels of satisfaction with new-technology training as well. The result: not much satisfaction. The feedback was even more negative when it came to IT trainers with non-clinical backgrounds who could not converse in nurse speak.
The barrier to learning cited by most interviewees is wireless connectivity within the facility. In other words: bad WiFi.
Develop a toolkit that prepares staff for changes or upgrades.
Develop a best practices training document.
Boost funding incentives for training.
Increase compensation for staff with advanced IT skills.

Putrajaya turns down Sarawak's RM1 bil loan offer to repair schools

The Sarawak government says Education Minister Maszlee Malik had agreed in February the RM1 billion loan would be used to upgrade dilapidated schools in the state. (Bernama pic)
KUCHING: Putrajaya has turned down the Sarawak government's offer of a RM1 billion loan meant for repairing dilapidated schools in the state.
The money was to have been repaid against the state government's existing debt with the federal government.
Education, Science and Technological Research Minister Michael Manyin said the federal government had instead requested the state government to make an "advance payment" for the repair works.
"However, we are not sure if they would use the advance payment to upgrade the dilapidated schools," he said when met after the Reng College scholarship award presentation ceremony here today.
Manyin said Education Minister Maszlee Malik had agreed in February that the RM1 billion loan would be used to upgrade dilapidated schools in the state.
He said the state government was in the midst of setting up a joint committee with the education ministry and the Sarawak State Education Department to work on the project when it was told that Putrajaya had rejected the agreement.
"We need to negotiate again and I will be meeting Chief Minister Abang Johari Openg to discuss what to do next," he said.
Manyin also said Deputy Education Minister Teo Nie Ching should not be asking the Sarawak government to release funds to repair schools because education is under the federal government's purview.
"They should be the one releasing the money. This is just an offer from the state government," he said.
However, he said he is not critical of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) government on the issue because ministers from the previous Barisan Nasional government had also visited the state and were aware of the poor condition of the schools.
"They all expressed their sympathy but they forgot about it after leaving the state.
"We hope the PH government will do things differently and reconsider its decision," he said.

Dam Bursts at BHP-Owned Mine in Brazil [VIDEO]
Latest News, Weather & Enviorment, World News / BHP Billiton Ltd., Brazil, Landslides and mudslides, mining, mudslides / By mar / November 6th 2015 November 6th 2015
At least two people were confirmed dead after a dam burst Thursday at an iron-ore mine in southeastern Brazil, triggering deadly mudslides that ravaged a nearby town. Early Friday, local authorities said they expected the death toll to rise as rescue crews struggled to search devastated areas where roads and cell towers were knocked out. Some 30 were listed as injured and dozens remain missing. The cause of the burst or the extent of the damage near Mariana in the famous mining state of Minas Gerais was not clear, according to mining company Sanmarco, which is a joint venture between Brazil's Vale and Australia's BHP Billiton. Fearing additional landslides, local civil-defense authorities said they evacuated about 600 people to higher ground from the village of Bento Rodrigues as well as other areas. The dam was holding a mining waste product of metal filings, water, and chemicals. Local reports from the G1 news service of the Globo Media group put the death toll at 16 overnight.


Welcome back to Messier Monday! In our ongoing tribute to the great Tammy Plotner, we take a look at that buzzing nest of stars – the Beehive Cluster!
One of these is the Beehive Cluster (aka. Messier 44, or Praesepe), an open star cluster located in the the Cancer constellation. In addition to containing a larger population of stars than most clusters in its vicinity, it is also one of the nearest open clusters to the Solar System – at a distance of 577 light years (177 parsecs). As such, astronomers have been aware of it since Classical Antiquity.
According to ancient lore, this group of stars (often called the Praesepe) foretold a coming storm if it was not visible in otherwise clear skies. Of course, this came from a time when combating light pollution meant asking your neighbors to dim their candles. But, once you learn where it's at, it can be spotted unaided even from suburban settings. Hipparchus called it the "Little Cloud," but not until the early 1600s was its stellar nature revealed.
Believed to be about 550 light-years away, this awesome cluster consists of hundreds of members – with at least four orange giants and five white dwarfs. M44's age is similar to that of the Pleiades, and it is believed that both clusters have a common origin. Although you won't see any nebulosity in the Beehive, even the very smallest of binoculars will reveal a swarm of bright stars and large telescopes can resolve down to 350 faint stars.
Messier 44 is the nearest open cluster of its type to our Solar System, and it contains a larger star population than most other nearby clusters. Under dark skies the Beehive Cluster looks like a nebulous object to the unaided eye; thus it has been known since ancient times. The classical astronomer Ptolemy called it "the nebulous mass in the heart of Cancer," and it was among the first objects that Galileo studied with his telescope.
The cluster's age and proper motion coincide with those of the Hyades stellar association, suggesting that both share a similar origin. Both clusters also contain red giants and white dwarfs, which represent later stages of stellar evolution, along with main sequence stars of spectral classes A, F, G, K, and M. So far, eleven white dwarfs have been identified, representing the final evolutionary phase of the cluster's most massive stars, which originally belonged to spectral type B. Brown dwarfs, however, are extremely rare in this cluster, probably because they have been lost by tidal stripping from the halo.
Messier 44 is home to 5 red giant stars and a handful of white dwarf stars. But, M44 also contains one peculiar blue star. Among its members, there is the eclipsing binary TX Cancri, the metal line star Epsilon Cancri, and several Delta Scuti variables of magnitudes 7-8, in an early post-main-sequence state. And in all those stars, there's a lot of other peculiarities to be found!
In September of 2012, two planets were confirmed to be orbiting around two separate stars in the Beehive Cluster. The finding was significant since the stars were similar to Earth's Sun, and this was the first instance where exoplanets were found orbiting a Sun-like star within a stellar cluster. These planets were designated as Pr0201b and Pr0211b, both of which are "Hot Jupiters" (i.e. gas giants that orbit close to their stars). In 2016, additional observations showed that the Pr0211 system actually has two planets, the second one being Pr0211-c.
This beautiful, nearby star cluster has been known since ancient times and played wonderful roles in mythology. Aratos mentioned this object as "Little Mist" as far back as 260 BC, and Hipparchus included this object in his star catalog and called it "Little Cloud" or "Cloudy Star" in 130 BC. Ptolemy mentions it as one of seven "nebulae" he noted in his Almagest, and describes it as "The Nebulous Mass in the Breast (of Cancer)".
While Sir William Herschel would ignore it and Caroline Herschel would only write that she "observed it", John Herschel would go on to give it an NGC designation and Admiral Smyth would sing its poetic praises. Is it possible that watching this star cluster could help fortell the weather? If you believe the words of Aratos, it just might.
And watch for a swarm of incredible starlight!
Messier 44 is so bright that it easily shows to the unaided eye as a nebulous patch just above the conjunction of the faint, upside down "Y" asterism of the Cancer constellation. However, not everyone lives where dark skies are a rule – so try using both Pollux and Procyon to form the base of an imaginary triangle. Now aim your binoculars or finderscope near the point of the apex to discover M44 – the Beehive.
Since Messier 44 is about a degree and a half in diameter, it will require that you use your lowest magnification eyepiece in a telescope, and it is very well suited to binoculars of all sizes. Because its major stars are also quite bright, it stands up to urban sky and moonlight conditions, but many more stars are revealed with higher magnification and darker skies. Because M44 is very near the ecliptic plane, you'll often find a planet or the Moon mixing it up with the stars!

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a common chronic disease, requiring regular monitoring. Patient-reported outcomes can assist monitoring, may promote patient self-management and can be useful in epidemiological surveys.
To evaluate reliability of a mannequin-format patient-reported joint-count in JIA, and to detect changes in agreement at a follow-up visit.
JIA patients aged 12-21 marked joints with active arthritis on a mannequin before their regular clinic visit. The physician performed a joint-count without having seen the patient's assessment. For two subsequent clinic visits, agreement between the physician and patient-reported joint-counts was assessed using Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and kappa statistics. The ability of the patient-reported joint-count to discriminate between active and inactive disease was evaluated using positive and negative predictive values. Sensitivity to change was estimated using Pearsons's rho and standardized response mean (SRM).
75 JIA patients were included. In general, patients had a low number of active joints (median 1 joint, indicated by the physician). ICC was moderate (0.61) and kappas ranged from 0.3-0.7. At the follow-up (n= 53), kappas were similar; the ICC was 0.19. When a patient scored 0 joints, the physician confirmed this in 93-100%. When the patient marked ≥ 1 joints, the physician confirmed arthritis in 59-76%. Sensitivity to change was moderate (Pearson's rho: 0.44, p=0.001, SRM in worsening patients: 0.67).
Agreement between physician and patient on joint-counts was reasonable. Untrained patients tended to overestimate presence of arthritis when they marked active joints on a mannequin-format joint-count. When the patient indicated absence of arthritis, the physician usually confirmed this. The sensitivity to change was moderate for patients who worsened over time. The agreement did not improve at follow-up; future research should focus on the possibility of achieving this through training. For now, the patient-reported joint-count cannot fully replace the physicians' joint-count in clinical practice; it may be used in epidemiological studies with caution.

UPDATE 2: Microsoft recommends uninstalling problematic updates
Debra Littlejohn Shinder on August 18, 2014
We reported here yesterday that a large number of BSODs (Blue Screens of Death) were popping up on Windows 7 computers following the installation of this month's Patch Tuesday updates. The scope of the problem seems to be broadening, with reports now coming in that Windows 8.1 systems are also being taken down by some of the patches.
This is particularly vexing because the August rollup update for Windows 8.1 had been hyped quite a bit as not just a security fix; it also was designed to add some new features (although not as significant as those that were added in the rollup called Windows 8.1 Update 1 that was released last April). An especially welcome feature for those using notebook computers with touchpads was the change to settings that let you control the behavior of precision touchpads more easily.
Note that unlike update KB2919355, this update wasn't mandatory. That update has to be installed before you can install any subsequent updates to Windows 8.1. However, most systems are set up to install updates automatically, either through Windows Update in home and small business environments or Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) in corporate enterprise environments.
Some folks are installing the updates with no problems while others are finding themselves unable to even boot into safe mode, getting a Stop 0x50 error. Booting with the original installation disc and then using System Restore has enabled some computer users to recover their operating systems.
The problem is so widespread that Microsoft has reportedly recommended to customers that they uninstall the KB2982791 (MS14-045) update, which is an update that was supposed to fix kernel-mode driver vulnerabilities. They've also removed the update from the download web site.
The company is said to be investigating additional problems with three more of the August updates, KB2970228, 2975719 and 2975331 and pulled them from the download sites, as well. These include non-security updates that are issued each month along with the more high profile security patches.
Problems with patches are by no means a rare thing, but it's somewhat unusual to have this many different updates that were part of the same release causing problems for this many users. We'll keep you updated on this latest update fiasco and whether Microsoft releases any out-of-band fixes to address the problems. In the meantime, if you're being affected by this, be sure to go back and read about the community fix that I discussed in the earlier blog post.
NOTE: GFI LanGuard customers are notified that the security update 2982791 has been pulled from GFI LanGuard.
