'I am in a state of shock after Djokovic exit': Alexander Zverev
Ankit Chaubeyon September 7, 2020
The fifth seed German player, Alexander Zverev who is also touted as one of the contenders to clinch the ongoing US Open title said that he is in shock after World number 1 Novak Djokovic defaulted from US Open on Sunday.
He was disqualified from the round of 16 after the Serbian accidentally hit the line judge with the tennis ball against Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain.
However, it was clear in the video that he did not intentionally hit the line judge but as per organizers, the tennis stalwart was disqualified on the basis of rules.
Reacting on the incident Zverev said that the supervisors were just doing their job. It was unfortunate for Novak for getting disqualified like this in a big event.
"I don't think I have ever got defaulted yet in my carrier or in my life. No, I haven't been in situation like that. But as I said, it's very unlucky, very unfortunate, " Zverev added.
"The decision was made I think by supervisors and as I said they are doing thier job. There is nothing much I can say to that. I am in a little bit of shock right now. to be honest".
As Djokovic is no more part of US Open in that case Zverev can be the contender to lift the title to which he said he is not thinking about him becoming a champion right now he will be just focusing on one game at a time.
"It's going to be one of the young guys,if you count Dominic Thiem as well. He obviously has chance to win. Now it's time it really gets interesting. We will see where we go from here".
The ongoing US Open is not witnessing several top-class tennis stars like Andy Murray, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal in action due to COVID-19.

4-time state champion Saint Louis continues to add to its legacy under coach Cal Lee
By Paul Honda phonda@staradvertiser.com

At 12-0 with a rousing 45-6 win over Kahuku in the state final on Friday, this year's edition of the nationally ranked, four-peat state champion Saint Louis Crusaders may be among the best ever on campus.
They have won 38 games in a row since losing to Punahou on Sept. 23, 2016. Across the board, there have been Saint Louis teams with more talent in one area or another, but more balanced? Maybe not.
"Maybe. We can score offensively and keep them from scoring. That's pretty good," coach Cal Lee said. "The seniors overall, I'm very happy for them. They'll always remember their senior year. They might not remember freshman year."
During the years when Lee and his staff were away from Kalaepokaku, there was success under Delbert Tengan and Darnell Arceneaux. Eventually, however, questions arose about the survival of Saint Louis School. Prep football took a different shape on the field. When Lee returned to the fold in 2015 for a second stint as head coach of the Crusaders, the throne atop Hawaii high school football had changed hands three times in three previous seasons: Punahou in 2013; Mililani in '14; Kahuku, with its extreme smashmouth offense, in '15. That Kahuku squad throttled Saint Louis in the '15 state final, 30-14.
Lee and his staff had gotten by through his return campaign without much depth across the roster, particularly on the defensive line.
In '16, a promising young defensive lineman named Faatui Tuitele joined the varsity. The sophomore was part of a major influx of defensive talent, and with a fortified wall in the trenches, Saint Louis returned to the throne with a 30-14 win over Kahuku for the state title.
That enabled quarterback extraordinaire Tua Tagovailoa to graduate with a state crown. With Tuitele in the trenches, the Crusaders beefed up at all positions, invigorated by an experienced staff. Chevan Cordeiro took the reins of the four-wide offense and learned from the master, offensive coordinator Ron Lee, as Saint Louis won the title in '17.
In '18, a young gun named Jayden de Laura became the QB after Cordeiro matriculated to Hawaii. Tuitele lifted a young squad to another HHSAA title, then departed to Washington, while another defensive lineman, Gino Quinones, signed on with USC.
A strange, but not so uncommon thing happened. An extraordinary talent like Tuitele graduates, and the returnees take everything to a higher level. That's what happened this fall with the Crusaders, who rose to a No. 6 national ranking, and remained locked at No. 1 in Hawaii from opening to closing bell.
When Coach Lee mentioned after Friday's title win that this was "a long season," he might have meant that this is going to be a longer season. Saint Louis will be on its way to Las Vegas for a matchup possibly with St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.), the nation's No. 4 team. The GEICO State Champions Bowl Series game will be on Dec. 21 or 22.
"We've gone to the mainland, of course, but not with 80, 90 players, coaches," Ron Lee said. "They talked to Cal about it earlier (this season), but we couldn't talk about it. We had to win."
Last year, Saint Louis was offered a chance to play in the same event. The Crusaders opted to stay out, despite clamoring from local fans and alumni to see the program tested at the highest level.
"Last year, we ended a little bit earlier and would have to wait a month. We didn't know who we were playing, maybe somebody ranked lower at No. 11 or No. 15," Ron Lee said. "Kids had finals, they have (college) visits, and it wasn't good timing."
The field general, de Laura, went 22-0 as a starter over a two-year span. His evolution as a quarterback was a matter of constant work. The tradition of mastery by Saint Louis QBs is intact.
"He came here, and now he has offers from schools like Ohio State," Ron Lee said. "You get in the right system, it helps. Look at Chev (Cordeiro). He sat two years behind Tua (Tagovailoa), goes to Hawaii and gets a chance to start. Tua goes to the No. 1 team in the country (Alabama) and he's competing."
Much of the state is running the four-wide offense at all levels, but Saint Louis has refined it to a unique level without using RPO wrinkles.
"There's a misconception that quarterbacks should get too much credit and too much blame. We spend a lot of time with receivers. They play a big role in the success of the quarterback," Ron Lee said. "It's the receivers being where they're supposed to be. If we didn't have Roman (Wilson), (Matthew) Sykes and Koali (Nishigaya), maybe Jayden wouldn't do as well. The system's important."
After beating Kahuku, it was clearer than ever that the gap between Open Division and Division I is larger than ever. Even within the Open, no foe could consistently move the ball against Saint Louis' cornerstone defensive line, led by Stanley McKenzie.
With two years of interleague play in this pilot program, coaches across the OIA and ILH have praised it openly. Open, D-I, D-II — it is popular among players, coaches, fans. Sometimes, coaches brought up the topic without being asked, concerned about the possibility that the two-year lab experiment could be wrapped up and sent away.
Punahou has a case to debate regarding the format, as a second-place team out of the ILH that wasn't given a chance to play in the state tourney, twice. But the Buffanblu aren't complaining. This format gives Kamehameha, Punahou and Saint Louis a wide variety of teams to play during the regular season, thanks to the OIA.
"I haven't heard anything yet. I think we are excited about the possibility of continuing it," Punahou coach Kale Ane said. "It gave us a lot of opportunities to play different schools, to experience Friday night lights at different venues like Waianae, Kapolei, Campbell. That was fun. The competition was always good."
Ane is aware of the ongoing debate within leagues. Though Punahou is ranked No. 2 and did not qualify for the state tourney, the pluses well outweigh the minuses in his view.
"The leagues will get together and talk about the positives and negatives. What can they tweak? What don't they have to tweak. We don't know about the profit margin, how much was actually accomplished. There's a lot of questions, but I think by most standards, people would say it was very successful," Ane said.
Maintaining the three-division format is another positive, he added. Moanalua won OIA D-I, lost in the state tourney, and has gone 18-3 overall in the past two seasons. Na Menehune edged 'Iolani during the regular season on a last-second field goal, then lost to the Raiders in the state tournament.
"The level of play. All coaches are playing some awesome, consistent football," Moanalua coach Savaii Eselu said. "Being that this is the final attack for the pilot (program), the format is perfect. It's great. It's a good deal. I hope it continues on."
Legacy in action
State titles are no guarantee of future success.
The addition of a third division opened opportunities for Hilo and Lahainaluna. Hilo has been in the past three D-I state finals, winning in '17 and again last Friday in a 20-17 thriller with 'Iolani.
Lahainaluna won its fourth state title in a row, overcoming Kapaa 21-10. Derek Perez and Josh Tihada became the first four-time football state champions in school history.
"I can feel the blessings from the community, the team and the coaches. We worked super hard for this," said Perez, who had two tackles.
Tihada scored all three touchdowns and added to his mark of most career TDs — 19 — in state-tourney play. His 310 rushing yards on 36 carries set a state-tournament record.
He is as humble as they come, but when it comes to team success, he wants the next crop of Lunas to continue the legacy.
"When the time comes, when I become a parent, hopefully I'll have kids, I'll tell them to have an emphasis that the game is won in the trenches. The O-line, the D-line."
The extended season that comes with state-tourney play adds a layer of reps that is valuable.
"The JV guys, they've been practicing with us, they push us just as hard. I want them to have this feeling so when, if they come back, to know how hard they have to work," Tihada said. "From right now, after this (state tournament), you've got to be out there committed to work hard. Keep your mind dedicated to this."


As the industry transitions to IP and OTT distribution over multiple devices, interest in blockchain will grow.
At its most basic, blockchain describes an open, distributed ledger that records all transactions between two parties in a permanent and verifiable manner. The concept was born with the internet in the early 1990s, but only truly came into the spotlight with the advent of digital currency Bitcoin.
As the entertainment industry goes digital, Stacy Huggins, co-founder and CMO of data management company MadHive, is keen to outline the merits and potential of blockchain-based technology when it comes to the management of broadcast advertising sales.
Having held leadership roles on the agency, ad tech and client sides of the business, Huggins has a deep understanding of the challenges within the ad tech supply chain and feels that as broadcast moves towards IP and OTT distribution over multiple devices, interest in blockchain will grow.
Traditional ad sales for broadcast and its related information on an ad impression level currently comes from disparate, often locked sources. With blockchain, according to Huggins, that information would become available to the buyer and become more useful. Blockchain also addresses fears around safety – brand and data safety – as traditional broadcast media sales and execution go digital.
That means inventories being sold at their proper value, better ad targeting and most of all, because broadcasters can now see exactly what's happening, regaining control of the economic value of ad sales from the 'middle man', where it's concentrated now and bringing it back to the advertiser and the publisher.
Blockchain can also help the industry compete against the duopoly of Facebook and Google, especially as Facebook moves towards selling OTT inventory, concluded Huggins. "Blockchain will help broadcasters provide the type of attractive cross-device, people-based insight that attracts advertisers to the two 'walled garden' giants, instead of making these giants their ad sales middle man at great margin cost," concludes Huggins.
Stacy Huggins, co-founder and CMO of MadHive, is an entrepreneur and seasoned marketing executive who is considered a thought leader in blockchain technology and its applications to media and ad tech. Having held leadership roles on the agency, ad tech and client sides of the business, Huggins has a deep understanding of the challenges within the ad tech supply chain. Huggins has identified and built partnerships with top-tier web publishers and ad networks and worked directly with such companies as American Express, Sony Music, The Weinstein Company, IAC, sbe Hotels & Casinos and Tamara Mellon to develop and execute innovative marketing strategies and data-driven campaigns.

WP Energy Public Company Limited
ASIA'S MOST INFLUENTIAL COMPANIES
WP Energy has shown resilience and great adaptability post merger. It has focused primarily on markets where it is strongest, while being attentive to new market trends and consumer behavior changes.
WP Energy
The Energy To Go Further
When the World is your gas tank.
WP Energy Public Company Limited was established in 2014 in Thailand, and was the result of the merger of Worldgas and Picnic Company. The company is the second largest LPG distributor in Thailand, and serves three core sectors: industrial, where the company is in number three position; auto gas, as the market leader, and household, where Worldgas, one of the strongest LPG brands in Thailand, is used by over five million households. WP's network of outlets across Thailand enables it to serve its customers promptly, with the best quality and most competitive price. WP Energy also supplies products to neighboring countries such as Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia.
Business margins are slim by virtue of LPG being a commodity. In order to overcome this, WP Energy provides value added products and services, such as the provision of safety training and maintenance service to its customers, which the company feels is the best way to win business. The company knows a thing or two about challenges, as it clawed its way back into the black, and back on the stock exchange after the merger. Since then its financial performance has increased significantly over the past three years, with net profits jumping from US$2million in 2016 to US$10 million in 2018. That year the company received an international finance award for being the most sustainable LPG supply company.
In order to fulfill its vision of being an innovative regional leader in the energy business, WP Energy goes to great lengths to deliver products of high quality with matching service standards. Safety is paramount in the volatile gas business, and as such WP Energy demands stringent safety standards from all its staff. The company also has ISO9001, ISO14001, and ISO 18001 certification to ensure best safety and occupational practices
The LPG giant boasted a human resources turnover rate of only 1.7 percent for 2018. WP Energy offers staff benefits in line, or slight better, compared to other competitors in the same industry, and also ensures employees have an individual development plan in order to build up employees' soft skills and functional competence. The company believes its low attrition rate comes from its policy of treating all staff equally. The same transparency and responsibility carries through to all WP Energy's stakeholders.
While highly profitable, the company is expecting big challenges ahead in the next five years, what with the impending competition that LPG will face from other energy sources such as LNG. To weather this, WP Energy has banked on its service deliverables, and has shored up staff competency in preparation for new opportunities and change. As it prepares for business in industry 4.0, it continues to play the role of a good corporate citizen. WP Energy believes strongly in community education, and the care of the environment. Each year the corporation gives out yearly scholarship to impoverished students, without bonding them to service in the company. WP Energy also focuses its outreach activities on the teaching of life skills, with employees teaching students how to cook as part of their community outreach initiatives.

NTT Research Launches Joint Research on Neuro-Computing with The University of Tokyo International Research Center for Neurointelligence
NTT Research, Inc., a division of NTT (TYO:9432), today announced that it has entered a joint research agreement with The University of Tokyo's International Research Center for Neurointelligence (IRCN) to develop Coherent Ising Machine (CIM)-related technologies. The agreement calls for the two research organizations to develop new numerical tools and a simulator for the CIM, an information processing platform based on photonic oscillator networks. The principal investigator (PI) for the three-and-a-half year research project is IRCN Deputy Director, Kazuyuki Aihara, a University Professor at the University of Tokyo and expert in the mathematical modeling of complex systems and applications to neurointelligence. His counterpart at NTT Research is Physics & Informatics (PHI) Lab Senior Research Scientist, Dr. Satoshi Kako, whose research is focused on the potential capability and application of coherent network computing.
A key component of the PHI Lab's research agenda, a CIM addresses problems that have been mapped to an Ising model, which is a mathematical abstraction of magnetic systems composed of interacting spins, or angular momentums of fundamental particles. A primary goal of this joint research with the IRCN is to develop a novel neuromorphic computing principle for combinatorial optimization and machine learning. Combinatorial optimization problems, which a CIM is programmed to solve, require finding an optimal combination of variables from a larger set under various constraints. This project is directed toward finding a new computing principle and algorithms that can be implemented on a modern digital CIM platform. A near-term goal is to provide a field-programmable gate array (FPGA)-based CIM simulator with 16,000 spins and all-to-all couplings.
"Our goal is always to create new scientific knowledge," said PHI Lab Director, Yoshihisa Yamamoto. "We also anticipate that the CIM simulator and digital algorithms that result from this search for knowledge will be used by our numerous collaborators in other research and academic organizations, which is also likely to accelerate the search for applications in this field."
The NTT Research PHI Lab has embraced an expansive mission of re-thinking computation according to fundamental principles of quantum physics and brain science. Dr. Yamamoto, along with IRCN Project Associate Professor, Timothée Leleu, and Stanford University professors, Surya Ganguli and Hideo Mabuchi, elaborated on this interdisciplinary research agenda, which arguably constitutes a new field of study, in a cover article last year in Applied Physics Letters (APL) titled, "Coherent Ising Machines: Quantum optics and neural network perspectives." A core part of the IRCN project is previewed in a presentation that Dr. Leleu delivered at the NTT Research Upgrade 2020 summit, titled, "Neuromorphic in Silico Simulator for the CIM."
Professor Aihara, IRCN Deputy Director and PI for this project, has studied mathematical theory for modeling complex systems and developing trans-disciplinary applications in science and technology. He has developed a theoretical platform composed of advanced control theory of complex systems, complex network theory and nonlinear data analysis and data-driven modeling. On the applications side, he has also worked to bridge biological and clinical studies with human disease prediction and next-generation artificial intelligence (AI).
"This joint research project with NTT Research is an exciting opportunity to continue exploring the intersection of advanced theory and future applications," Professor Aihara said. "We have a strong foundation and considerable momentum going in and will continue to draw inspiration from advances in mathematical and chaos engineering, optics and neuroscience as the research collaboration unfolds."
As part of its goal to radically redesign artificial computers, both classical and quantum, the NTT Research PHI Lab has established similar relationships with eight universities. In addition to the IRCN at The University of Tokyo, the PHI Lab has entered joint research agreements with California Institute of Technology (CalTech), Cornell University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Notre Dame University, Stanford University, Swinburne University of Technology, the University of Michigan and the Tokyo Institute of Technology. It is also conducting joint research with the NASA Ames Research Center in Silicon Valley and 1QBit, a private quantum computing software company.
About NTT Research
NTT Research opened its offices in July 2019 as a new Silicon Valley startup to conduct basic research and advance technologies that promote positive change for humankind. Currently, three labs are housed at NTT Research facilities in Sunnyvale: the Physics and Informatics (PHI) Lab, the Cryptography and Information Security (CIS) Lab, and the Medical and Health Informatics (MEI) Lab. The organization aims to upgrade reality in three areas: 1) quantum information, neuroscience and photonics; 2) cryptographic and information security; and 3) medical and health informatics. NTT Research is part of NTT, a global technology and business solutions provider with an annual R&D budget of $3.6 billion.

I have recently purchased and imported into AUS a Rickenbacker 4003 Walnut satin finish bass guitar. I tend to sweat a bit from my hands particularly when playing. Can you please advise me of the best way to clean these marks off the body and neck finish.
I have tried the RIC cleaning cloth supplied which did not work. Also a damp cloth and a guitar/bass cleaning spray specific for guitars and bass.
This would also be applicable to the Guitar series in the Walnut as well. I have only seen one prototype Walnut bass that was released in the full gloss finish which in my opinion would be the easiest finish to keep sweat marks etc. to clean.
Could someone at RIC please advise back about my post, need to resolve.
The owners manual has a section on hand oiled finishes and they recommend Tung oil and a 3M Scotch-Brite™ Ultra Fine Hand Pad (#7448. Personally, the thought of putting sandpaper to my 4003W terrifies me so I wipe down my 4003 with a clean dry rag frequently - but that's just me -I baby my basses like you would not believe.
Look on page 7 of the Rickenbacker manual for "oil finish maintenance."
Hi JonnyG and clifton thanks for the advice, the user manual way would be fine to perhaps do once or twice a year for the maintaining side of things.
Was more after a product or ideas to help clean off the sweat marks, have heard of an alcahol based treatment to help remove? Does anyone know about this?
I currently use a dry rag after playing, but the sweat marks are leaving a film or going into the oil layer making it harder to remove. Also tried a damp cloth to no avail, any other suggestions??
Hmm, hopefully others with walnut guitars will chime in with some ideas!
Wow, that's a tough one. Is the stain a dark stain? There is a product called "Barkeeper's Friend" which is used to remove water stains from wood. More information is found at this link: http://www.thomaspenrose.com/diy_stains01.htm. I would check with the wood finishing guys at Rickenbacker before you do anything. I'm not an expert in this area but I can sympathize because I have a 4003W and have wondered how to clean my instrument because standard guitar polishes and cleaners won't work with oiled walnut.
I have done a couple oiled finishes on RIC guitar/basses, After I oil them with Watco's Danish oil and let it sit overnight, I wax the instrument a couple times. As a result, I don't get sweat stains on the 4003 I still have finished in this way. Other that sand paper, I don't know how you'd remove a discoloration. Whatever you do, wax the bass after you've done it, or even do the Watco's too.
Hello, Thanks for the ideas fellow bassists, it would be nice if someone from Rickenbacker Corporation could actually chim in on the conversation with some advice???
The sweat marks tend to look cloudy on the finish surface, have tried a few things without any success. The finish is Tung Oil Matte/Satin as I understand. Warwick Basses use a beeswax for their Timber finished basses perhaps this might work as well on the Ricky Walnut??
I personally find a satin finish to have a MUCH faster finish on the back of a neck, and I like the feel of wood in an instrument that you don't get under several coats of paint. Watco's comes in different colors, so clear is what you'd use. It will darken just a bit, but maybe not at all considering the fact it already has an oiled finish.


The lying Quinnipiac dropout who phoned in a last-minute bomb threat on her graduation day is undergoing a psych evaluation to determine whether she can stand trial.
Danielle Shea, 22, was expressionless Monday morning as her lawyer requested to delay her case in Superior Court in Meriden. The hoaxer sported a lime green top with a short black and white skirt, remaining silent during the brief court appearance.
"You haven't cleared out graduation. That's not a good idea,' she said in the call.
Shea, who had made dean's list in previous years, had stopped being a student in May 2013, according to Quinnipiac spokesman John Morgan.
"Her mother was sending her money that she believed was for tuition. What she was doing with that money, I don't know," Hamden Police Capt. Ron Smith said.
Despite being in "total shock" with her daughter's graduation-day antics, Shea's mother posted her $10,000 bail back in May and sat with her daughter in the courtroom before Monday's appearance.
The state agreed to push the case to Aug. 13 so it could gather more information from Quinnipiac University the costs of the bomb scare. The private college declined The Post's request for comment on the case.

Q: Updating a many-to-many relationship I've asked the question a few different times in a few different ways and I haven't yet gotten any responses.  I'm trying again because I feel like my solution is too convoluted and I must be missing something simpler to do.
Using EF 4.1, POCO, DbContext API, AutoMapper, and Razor in an MVC 3 application.
I have a many-to-many relationship between two of my entities:  Proposals and CategoryTags.  I can successfully map (Automapper) a Proposal to my ProposalViewModel including the collection of CategoryTags.
In my View, I use javascript to allow the user to add, update, and remove tags by dynamically creating  elements, each one that stores the ID of the chosen tag.
I can successfully post my ViewModel back to my controller with it's CategoryTags collection populated (although only with the ID property for each CategoryTag).
When that ViewModel is posted back to my controller, I don't know how to get those tags from the ViewModel and add them to my Model in such a way that db.SaveChanges() updates the database properly.
The only way I've had any success is to disconnect the CategoryTags collection in mapping (by namig them differently), iterate through each tag and manually look it up in my context and then call the .add() method.  This is sloppy for a number of reasons which leads me to believe I'm doing it wrong.
Can anyone offer any direction at all?
UPDATE:
For anyone who is interested, my functional code:
            Dim p As New Proposal
            Dim tempTag As CategoryTag
            p = AutoMapper.Mapper.Map(Of ProposalViewModel, Proposal)(pvm)

            db.Proposals.Attach(p)
            db.Entry(p).Collection("CategoryTags").Load()

            For Each ct In pvm.Tags
                tempTag = db.CategoryTags.Find(ct.Id)

                If tempTag Is Nothing Then
                    Continue For
                End If

                If ct.Tag = "removeMe" Then
                    p.CategoryTags.Remove(tempTag)
                    Continue For
                End If

                p.CategoryTags.Add(tempTag)
            Next

            db.Entry(p).State = EntityState.Modified
            db.SaveChanges()
            Return RedirectToAction("Index")

A: The only working way is doing this manually - you can read full description of the problem if you want. The description is related to ObjectContext API but DbContext API is just wrapper suffering same issues (actually DbContext API suffers even more issues in this scenario and because of that I will skip solution with manually setting relationships).
In short. Once you post your data back to the controller you must create new context instance and attach your Proposal and realated CategoryTags. But after that you must inform the context about changes you did. It means you must say context which tags have been added to proposal and which have been removed. Otherwise context cannot process your changes because it doesn't do any automatic merge with data in database.
The easiest way to solve this is loading current Proposal with related CategoryTags from database (= you will have attached instances) and merge incoming data into attached object graph. It means you will manually remove and add tags based on posted values.

Even when it comes to large endeavors like moving, DIY is your mantra. Maybe you considered hiring a professional moving company at first, but then decided you could conquer it without their help. You have a take charge attitude, and we like that! Moving isn't an easy task but it doesn't have to be complicated either. Check out these resourceful, moving tips that will have your DIY-loving spirit shout for joy.
Your smart phone can be a major life-saver during a stressful move. Apps such as Sortly and online moving guides such as SmartMove's Ultimate Moving Guide have great features that can help organize your move from initial planning to moving day. From making labels to checklists to timelines, these online resources give you peace of mind during this hectic time. It's almost like hiring a personal moving planner that fits in your pocket. And the best part about these handy tools is that the majority of them are free!
A plus to hiring a moving company is that they provide the boxes and supplies for you. However, with some careful planning, finding your own boxes isn't a difficult task. Hitting up your neighborhood warehouses, grocery stores and discount stores in the evening time is a sure-fire way to collect plenty of empty cartons for your move. Most stores will be glad to part ways with their used boxes – it's less crushing and disposing of cardboard for them! It's important to allow plenty of time to gather them as you may have to make several trips to have enough for your move.
This can be a tough one. A simple way to make your move faster and easier is to, of course, move less stuff. The best way to get rid of your old belongings is to donate or sell them. The Goodwill and Salvation Army will gladly take clothes, toys, and furniture that you no longer use. If you're looking for more bang for your buck, hold a garage sale and make a profit. Whatever you choose to do, moving is the perfect time to get rid of items that you've been storing for far too long. Think of it as a cleansing before you embark on your new life in a new home.
This is an obvious one, but the next best thing to hiring movers is recruiting your friends to do it for free. We understand that it isn't easy to ask your friends to give up their weekend and help you move, but there are ways to help ease their pain. Sweetening the deal with free food and drinks and promising to return the favor are a couple of ways to get help. You'll never know until you ask – and you'll be surprised to learn that most of them are more than happy to help.
Utilizing these four tips will make you realize that a DIY move isn't the daunting undertaking that most people have been led to believe. With some extra planning, research and tools, you'll be as a good as pro!


Few infantry regiments in the Civil War compiled a more distinguished record than the Fifth Missouri. The unique blending of fiery Irish Confederates from St. Louis with rural pro-Southern Missourians forged an unshakable esprit de corps, making the unit the crack infantry regiment in the western sector.
Most of Colonel James C. McCown's troops were young men in their 20s, and their good health and physical conditioning allowed them to carry out their "shock" missions throughout the region. From the perspective of the common soldiers and the unit's leaders the activities and battles of the Fifth Missouri are recounted here.

National Administrative Professionals Day 2021
by Kathryn Troutman
Catonsville, MD | April 16, 2021
Wednesday April 21st is National Administrative Professionals Day, a holiday for honoring the contributions of these vital workers. One way to celebrate the day is to research new job opportunities. Federal jobs guru Kathryn Troutman suggests you consider the government workplace as Uncle Sam employs so many administrative professionals. And at a time when people are concerned about having quality jobs, the US government stands out for its stability, pay, benefits, flexibility and number of openings.
Troutman recommends exploring this option by doing a search on USAJOBS to see how many administrative opportunities there are in the government. Also, take a look at the Occupational Series 0300 to get a sense of the breadth of this category. A common employee celebrated on this holiday is the Administrative Assistant, so this release looks at the opportunities for that position.
"I started my own career as an assistant at an insurance company processing claims," shares Troutman. "Today I run my own federal resume writing and consulting firm and I am a professional federal jobs trainer. Becoming an administrative worker is a good way to get in and gain experience. Then you can build from there."
Here's another example of this "foot in the door" strategy. One of the success stories in Troutman's 8th edition of the Jobseeker's Guide was Mariano Troy. Using Troutman's outline format for his federal resume, Mariano landed a position as an Administrative Specialist (government term for Administrative Assistant) with the Federal Emergency Management Administration (FEMA). Then he became an Emergency Management Specialist after receiving training to take that promotion.
To do a thorough search on USAJOBS for Administrative Assistant openings, you'll need to know the additional occupational terms the government uses for these positions. They include "Administrative Specialist," "Office Automation Assistant" (known as "OA" as in "I am an OA"), "Clerical" and "Secretary." A recent search found the following number of openings using these terms:
Number of USAJOBS Openings in Recent Search
Administrative Assistant: 867
Administrative Specialist: 670
Office Automation Assistant (OA): 129
Clerical: 1713
Secretary: 1933
One vacancy announcement Troutman spotted during the search was for two administrative support positions with the National Park Service related to the Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area in Washington State. One was at the Fort Spokane district office and the other at the park district office in Kettle Falls.
"A 'Selective Factor' qualification stated in the announcement is the skills of a qualified typist who types at least 40 words a minute," Troutman pointed out. "The announcement also says this is a 'screen out' requirement. So that skill must appear on the resume or you're out."
Other announcement details showed that these were full-time permanent positions with a pay scale/grade of GS-5 to GS-7. The salary listed was from $35,265 to $56,790 a year. Required was a full year of specialized experience at the GS-4 level (could be from federal employment or private sector), with administrative functions of payroll, personnel, travel, procurement, budget, and formal correspondence. In addition to federal employees who meet the definition of a "surplus" or "displaced" employee, the jobs were open to the public — something to also check along the right side of a USAJOBS vacancy announcement (who can apply?).
The jobs were marked "telework eligible." Troutman explained, "This means that you could work from home some of the time. But you'd have to live in the area so you could go into the office when required."
To apply, you must learn how to write a federal resume that carefully matches the qualifications listed in the announcement, plus the additional details the government requires. Troutman says an admin fed resume is typically three pages. Her best-selling book the Federal Resume Guidebook, 7th Edition will walk you through the writing process, and it provides 17 sample resumes. Troutman's firm The Resume Place also offers consultations with expert feedback on a federal resume toward one vacancy announcement for $190, including 30 minutes on the phone and a written report.
Wondering how to stand out for these federal admin assistant jobs? Troutman advises, "Have a whole section on your computer skills near the top of the resume. Include the software you have used, what level, if you assisted others working with the software. It will definitely help to have excellent computer skills."
And again, in these difficult times, the federal government has been a standout as a stable employer. Troutman says that during the pandemic when many American businesses downsized or closed, the government did not. Federal workers just did their jobs from home.
Troutman remarked that the federal workplace is also a very family-friendly environment with excellent benefits, including paid leave after the birth of a child whether you're the mother or the father. The government offers health and life insurance, plus retirement benefits. There are 10 recognized paid holidays a year, plus generous vacation time and sick leave. For more details on benefits, click here.
"What I really like to emphasize about the federal government is that there are so many opportunities for career growth," Troutman noted. "Because the government is so huge. You could start at a GS-5 admin level making $30,414 to $39,540 and over the years eventually move up to GS-11 making $55,756 to $72,487. Plus some locations have extra percentages and added paid expenses. Contrast that to a small private company, where there may not be enough opportunity for growth or change."
To explore this further, start job searching on USAJOBS and these tips and Troutman's resume book can help guide you from there. Happy National Administrative Professionals Day!

SHoP Architects is een architectenbureau in Lower Manhattan (New York), met projecten op vijf continenten. Onder leiding van vijf directeurs levert het bedrijf diensten aan woongelegenheden, commerciële gebouwen, scholen en culturele instellingen, evenals grootschalige plannen.

SHoP Architects is opgericht in 1996. Het werk van het bedrijf is internationaal tentoongesteld en opgenomen in de permanente collectie van het Museum of Modern Art. De eerste monografie, Out of Practice, werd in 2012 gepubliceerd door de Monacelli Press.

Werken
Het bedrijf staat bekend om de ontwerpen van de Barclays Center arena in Brooklyn, New York, het contract met de Howard Hughes Corporation om de South Street Seaport te ontwikkelen, en het ontwerp van 111 West 57th Street. 111 West 57th is een van de vele projecten die SHoP Architects heeft ontworpen in samenwerking met JDS Development Group. Andere gebouwen zijn de American Copper Buildings en 9 DeKalb Avenue.

SHoP ontwierp ook het Museum of Sex in New York, een renovatie van Governors Island, en de uitbreiding van het hoofdkantoor van Google in Silicon Valley, Californië.

SHoP is ook bekend om zijn werk aan grootschalige ontwikkelingsprojecten. Deze omvatten de herontwikkeling van de Domino Sugar Factory, Essex Crossing, en Schuylkill Yards.

Prijzen en onderscheidingen
In 2014 werd SHoP genoemd in het Fast Company magazine als 'Meest innovatieve architectenbureau in de wereld", en een van de "meest innovatieve bedrijven in de wereld" voor het beleid van het accepteren van het eigen vermogen in projecten, in plaats van de traditionele betaling, in ruil voor de diensten, alsmede voor het gebruik van modulaire bouwmethoden.

SHoP Architects kreeg in 2009 ook de National Design Award voor Architectonisch Design van het Smithsonian Institution's Cooper Hewitt National Design Museum, de Chicago Athenaeum American Architecture Awards, en prijzen van het American Institute of Architects' voor zowel de stad als de staat New York.

Kritiek
Justin Davidson, de architectuurcriticus voor het New York Magazine, noemde de firma "alomtegenwoordig" en bekritiseerde het plan met de Howard Hughes Corporation voor de South Street Seaport. Hij zei dat de enige toren "een nieuwe barrière tussen de zeehaven en de wereld daarbuiten" creëert. Hij schrijft dat zowel de ontwikkelaar en de onderneming de "goedaardige armzaligheid" van het gebied moeten begrijpen en niet "een nieuw precedent maken voor het claimen van de waterkant voor woningen".

Fort Smith officials seek funding for downtown 'truck and traffic' study
BusinessFort SmithTalk Politics
by Aric Mitchell ([email protected]) May 15, 2018 5:08 pm 541 views
downtown Fort Smith
Members of the Central Business Improvement District (CBID) on Tuesday (May 15) discussed a planned $160,000 truck and traffic study for downtown Fort Smith. This time, the emphasis was on a more all-encompassing objective in relation to large truck traffic, which has frequently been a frustration for the downtown development group.
CBID commissioner Rodney Ghan of R.H. Ghan & Cooper Commercial Properties said it was "important to know this is not just about trucks. It's about a whole bunch of things — walkability, car traffic. I don't want us to think we're picking on the trucks."
Ghan continued: "We're trying to identify our needs as a downtown for good traffic flow. That's all we're trying to do. Now the trucks are a part of that, but not all of that. It's not all trucks. It's the traffic as a whole. How do we redirect it for the future of downtown?"
Commissioner Sam T. Sicard, president and CEO of First National Bank of Fort Smith, said his concerns went beyond truck traffic to speeding.
"It's not specific to trucks. I've had several of our employees hit over the years, and frankly, it's not been by a big truck. Thank God. It's been by people speeding and running through red lights; turning and not looking. It's a lot bigger issue."
Ghan and commissioner Bill Hanna of Hanna Oil & Gas have served on the selection team for finding a contractor to conduct the truck and traffic study along with Fort Smith City Administrator Carl Geffken, Deputy City Administrator Jeff Dingman, and Engineering Director Stan Snodgrass. The city will fund the study, and it already has $100,000 set aside in the budget to do so. Geffken told Talk Business & Politics he is reaching out to the private sector for the remainder, but there hasn't yet been an agreement.
According to Reese Brewer, director of the Frontier Metropolitan Planning Organization — facilitators of the study and public meetings to come — the study could be finished in six months once the funding issue is resolved.
"It's pretty quick-moving. Most larger freight mobility studies tend to take up to two years, but the contractor will only be doing the data collection piece, so it should go relatively quickly. It's the analysis and the alternative development scenarios that take a little more time, and then you need to reach out to the public and get their input as well."
While a contract is not in place, the city received a proposal from Little Rock-based Halff Associates. Halff hopes to have the study completed by December. Brewer said Halff will look at previous plans, including the 64.6/Gateway Planning study finalized in 2017.
"They will also work with the various stakeholders, including 64.6, the city, ArDOT (the Arkansas Department of Transportation), and individuals with an interest in that area as well as connectivity for pedestrians and bicyclists."
Possible solutions could include increased or adjusted traffic signalization, alternative routes, or a "short, medium, and long-term phased-in" approach.
"There probably won't be an entire solution that satisfies everyone, but there will likely be compromises along the way," Brewer said.

Josef Umdasch Research Prize
Remote Instructor goes USA
13.08.2019 | USA
Next week the Remote Instructor will be presented for the first time to Doka USA in Houston and a customer in Texas. In addition, Doka's Operations Academy (OPAC) recently acquired a licence for the software, which it will use internally for training purposes.
Remote Instructor is a software solution developed specially for the construction industry to support real-time collaboration on the construction site. Using intelligent video telephony, the system enables live support for dealing with formwork-related issues by video link to Doka experts, but also for other uses within a construction company. This avoids uncertainties and errors, reduces downtimes on the construction site and ultimately saves costs. The ability to set markers to highlight specific image sections and details, simplifies communication when faced with more complex situations.
The software works on the mainstream operating systems (Android, iOS, Windows), is compatible with all mobile devices and can also be used hands-free via Head-mounted Tablet (HMT) from Realwear.

After predicting the state of the smartphone market in the next five years, market research firm Gartner has posted its predictions about the tablet market.
Here, Gartner's job is easier: Since no single device or even a platform has come close to Apple's iOS on the tablet market, it's quite safe to say that Apple will continue to dominate in the next couple of years, and Gartner agrees.
According to Gartner's predictions, Apple's iOS will drop from its current 83.9% market share to 68.7% in 2011. But it will stay at a healthy 63.5% in 2012, retaining almost half of the market (47.1%) by 2015 with a projected 138.5 million units sold.
By that time, Android is projected to grab 38.6% of the market, RIM's QNX, which powers BlackBerry PlayBook will have 10%, and everyone else - MeeGo, WebOS and others - will have a minute 4.2% combined.
With recent reports of the Motorola Xoom's sales being underwhelming, and Samsung hastily redesigning its Galaxy Tab 10.1 to make it more competitive with the iPad 2, Apple doesn't seem to be facing any immediate threats in the tablet department.


Complex, subtle and full-bodied with great elegance and a long finish. Dark fruit and smoke, lots of layers and great cellar potential.
I had the opportunity to taste this beauty this past week, and have to say probably the best Cabernet Sauvignon I have ever tasted. Smooth and full bodied, this rich Cab had gorgeous fruits and smoke, with a hint of mint and spice. You could keep this wine for a while because it has great aging potential but also tastes great right now.

another newbie track, friends is destined - in its jejune way - for everything we ever were.
created tonight, 17th november 2010, seeds sown in sound-sketches from the past few days. it needs a further tinker, which we'll do the next time there is sleep that won't come and walls that need to be bounced off of.
our latest tracks, we should say, follow one of two paths. there are those bound for album three, everything we ever were - which are pert and pertinent - and those intended for the album which will come after. which we're not even sure constitute 'music' in any sense of the word. the themes of that (planned, still mutant, still doodling) album are bipolarity, creativity, medication, hypomania, anhedonia, on top of the world looking down on creation. that album will be called shamania.
in the meantime, we're also working on the ascending a line in the sky to sothis mix. we still hope to have that completed by the end of the year or early next; watch this space.

Saturdays with Hitchcock.
Wittlinger, Ellen. Saturdays with Hitchcock.
October 10th 2017 by Charlesbridge
Sixth grader Maisie and her best friend Cyrus like to hang out together, especially to see classic movies at their small town Illinois theater run by the cranky Mr. Schmitz. She's not happy when Gary starts hanging around with them, since she feels she's too young to be interested in boys, and Cyrus acts weird whenever Gary is around. Maisie's beloved Uncle Walt moves in with her family while he is recuperating from an injury he received doing one of his own stunts for a movie. His career isn't going all that well, but he's still determined to make it in Hollywood. He and Maisie bond over movies, and he nicknames her "Hitchcock". Maisie's mother Cindy isn't pleased to have Walt back; even though he doesn't do a lot to help out with their mother, Evelyn, the mother clearly thinks Walt is wonderful. Maisie starts to notice that Evelyn is forgetting a lot of things, and has left her tea kettle boiling on the stove, so Cindy finds a caregiver to stay with Evelyn. When an accident happens despite the caregiver, the decision is made to move Evelyn into Maisie's room. Meanwhile, the tensions grow between Maisie and Cyrus; Cyrus has a secret that he won't tell her because he can't. Eventually, we find out that Cyrus like likes Gary, and Maisie starts to think that she like likes Gary, but doesn't feel right since Cyrus is interested in him. Mr. Schmitz turns out to be an old flame of Evelyn's, and he steps in to help care for her. Things seem to be going fairly well, but there's a lot of emotional information for Maisie to process.
Strengths: I am enjoying the recent trend in ailing grandparent stories-- it's so much more realistic than having all of the siblings and parents die. Maisie's relationship with her uncle, as well as the family dynamic in general, is strained but very realistic. Maisie's mother loses her job, and that's certainly something that many children have had to deal with. The grandmother's decline is softened by her reconnection with Mr. Schmitz. The stand out plot line, of course, is the like like triangle, and it's handled very brilliantly. Like Mattie in Dee's Star Crossed, Cyrus is attracted to a boy but doesn't feel that this automatically makes him gay, and we see enough of middle school behavior to understand why Cyrus doesn't want to announce his feelings to the world. It's a nice touch that Gary has a cousin who's gay, so he is kind to Cyrus, even though Gary clearly prefers Maisie. Well done, all around.
Weaknesses: If there are middle school students who like 80 year old movies, they do not go to my school. In 20 years of teaching, I've only had two students who have stated classic movies as an interest, and since I was the only 12 year old with a Gene Kelly obsession forty years ago, I've been looking for them. Maybe it's just my community's lack of good classic movie theater.
What I really think: I will buy a copy of this, but I will have to hand sell it to my growing group of students who ask for LGBTQIA books.


City, who have played three more games than the seventh-placed Brisbane Roar, lead them by two points after Kew Jaliens, Harry Novillo, David Williams and Iain Ramsay netted in Melbourne.
It seemed fitting that Jaliens - the ex-Newcastle captain who was one of five players sacked by the Jets in January - would score, and his 18th-minute opener paved the way for City's big win.
Novillo capped a fine home debut with City's second in the 47th minute, before substitutes Williams and Ramsay got in on the act as John van 't Schip's side won well.
Aaron Mooy's corner from the right exposed Newcastle's defence, who could only watch on as Jaliens volleyed in from seven yards with an effort that was too hot to handle for Newcastle goalkeeper Ben Kennedy.
City looked to have squandered a good chance, when Robert Koren did not get a clear shot off in the penalty area, but Novillo gathered the loose ball and expertly fired into the left corner to double City's advantage.
Koren split Newcastle's hapless defence with a sublime through-ball, and Williams did the rest, slotting past Kennedy with ease for his first goal since November.
Ramsay capped off City's big win when, after Mooy surged forward and fed him down the left, he produced a first-time shot that hit the base of the right post and went in.
While City were comfortable during the first half, a one-goal lead can often be cause for panic. The hosts put their fans at ease just two minutes after the resumption, though, as Novillo - impressive down the left throughout - produced a smart finish.
Newcastle needlessly conceded possession at the back after Novillo applied good pressure, but when Koren's effort was blocked, the chance seemed lost. Novillo pounced, however, and killed the game off with his first A-League goal before celebrating with the home fans.
Newcastle have not won on the road in their last 13 A-League matches. Of those 13, nine have been defeats, with the Jets' last away win coming at Western Sydney in March last year. They have not scored in five of their last six away matches, either.
For City, the result extended their unbeaten streak at AAMI Park to seven matches.
Without a win since December, Newcastle needed everything to go right if they were to get a result.
And coach Phil Stubbins must have been scratching his head at their poor marking from the 18th-minute corner that saw Jaliens score the opener. The defender somehow found the space to volley in from seven yards, straight in front of goal, setting up his side's victory.
Back in the top six, for now at least, City's credentials will be tested at the in-form Sydney FC on Friday. Newcastle are in action one night later, and could move from the foot of the table with victory against fellow strugglers Western Sydney, who will face a short turnaround from another mid-week AFC Champions League match.
