Sounders fall to rival Timbers, 3-1
Originally published July 17, 2016 at 5:12 pm Updated July 17, 2016 at 10:10 pm
Portland's Diego Valeri and Fanendo Adi led the way to a comfortable 3-1 win over their northern rivals.
Matt Pentz
PORTLAND – If the Seattle Sounders' 2016 season has a smell, it closely resembles that of the smoke bombs set off in Providence's Park main grandstand four times Sunday afternoon.
Plumes of green, red and yellow hung in the air for minutes at a time, casting game action in a haze. The scent was sulfuric, like rotten eggs being toasted over a campfire.
If you were in that end of the stadium, it stung your nostrils and watered eyes, a tang catching somewhere in the back of your throat.
Sounders FC @ Kansas City, noon, ESPN
The smoke bombs commemorated three Timbers goals and a victorious final whistle, as Diego Valeri and Fanendo Adi led the way to a comfortable 3-1 win over their northern rivals.
That smell might not yet be Seattle's playoff hopes turning to ash, not in a league whose postseason structure forgives many sins, but the Sounders (6-11-2) certainly made for easy kindling on Sunday afternoon.
Most of Seattle's 11 losses this season have been pinned squarely on poor finishing. The Sounders have controlled possession and outshot opponents. Last weekend in a home loss against Los Angeles, they fired off 21 shots. They just haven't been able to consistently score, ranking last in the Western Conference in goals even after putting five past FC Dallas on Wednesday.
The blame for Sunday's defeat was directed mostly at the other end of the field – though Seattle did have its customary slew of missed opportunities, most notably Jordan Morris' early in the first half and Nelson Valdez's on the other side of the break.
Seattle's game plan was to play ugly and direct, limiting the impact of Portland's speed with well-timed fouls and attacking mostly through long balls over the top. It worked reasonably well for 44 mostly even and action-packed minutes.
And then Sounders right back Tyrone Mears lost the ball to Valeri near midfield, the Timbers midfielder sent Lucas Melano flying down the left side and then curled a return pass inside the right post for the opening goal.
"You get a counterattack and we don't foul," Seattle captain Brad Evans said. "We don't slow it down. Bang, bang, it's a goal at the worst possible time.
"Teams aren't scoring these magnificent goals on us. They're errors on our part. We've got to somehow cut these errors out and get focused. It sounds like a broken record."
Portland imposed its will on the game. Seattle knew it needed to slow tempo, to limit the influence of the Timbers' speedy counterattack. It just didn't.
"We knew that's how they were going to play and yet we allowed them to do it," Seattle goalkeeper Stefan Frei said.
There was little the Sounders could do about Portland's second goal, a singular moment of brilliance from Valeri. Five minutes after halftime, trapped near the end line, he chipped the ball toward the back post from a tight angle.
It was unclear both in the moment and afterward whether Valeri was actually shooting or playing in a cross. But once it dinked off the inside of the left post and over the line, it doubled the lead regardless.
Chad Marshall pulled Seattle back within a goal in the 59th minute with a towering header off a corner kick. But the Timbers hit them on the break again five minutes later off a Sounders corner kick. Melano sprinted untouched with the ball from his own box all the way into the other before laying off a pass for Adi to finish.
"Some guys cheat and stay up and look for the counter," Frei said. "We knew that was going to happen, and counter they did. We should have been ready for it."
One minute, they're pushing numbers forward and lining up a potentially game-tying corner.
The next thing you know, you're trudging back over midfield, batting a hand in front of your face in a vain attempt to get that damn smell out of your nose.

Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn wins the Golden Bear
Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn has been awarded the Golden Bear for Best Film at the 71st Berlin International Film Festival. It was announced by the Competition jury earlier today in a video presentation. Romanian-Luxembourgish-Czech-Croatian drama, directed by Radu Jude, was made with a contribution of Czech producer Jiří Konečný of endorfilm and with the support of the Czech Film Fund.
The winner of this year's Berlinale, Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, delivers an incendiary mix of unconventional form, irreverent humor and scathing commentary on hypocrisy and prejudice in our society. Romanian director Radu Jude illustrates all of this in a story of Emi, a school teacher who finds her career and reputation under threat after a personal sex tape is leaked on the Internet. Forced to meet the parents demanding her dismissal, Emi refuses to surrender to their pressure.
Czech co-producer of the film, Jiří Konečný and his company endorfilm, has collaborated with director Radu Jude and producer Ada Solomon for the third time already. At the Berlinale, they have already achieved success with Aferim! (2015) which was awarded the Silver Bear for Best Director, and "I Do Not Care If We Go Down in History as Barbarians" won the Crystal Globe award at Karlovy Vary IFF in 2018.
"Radu Jude is for me a director who always swims upstream, and doesn´t let sleeping dogs lie one could say. And I value that immensely. Bad Luck Banging is as well absolutely relevant and topical. And poignant, while being very witty," commented Jiří Konečný.
The Czech Film Fund supported both previously made films and it also backed Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, with EUR 96 150.
"This win is a culmination of a fruitful collaboration between the Czech Film Fund and Radu Jude. A collaboration with the Golden Bear winner and also the winner of the Karlovy Vary IFF is an excellent result of our support for minority co-productions," said Helena Bezděk Fraňková, director of the Czech Film Fund.
Furthermore, complete visual postproduction of Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn took place at prestigious postproduction house UPP in Prague and Czech actress Petra Nesvačilová appeared in one of the supporting roles in the film.
While the only Czech or Czechoslovak winner of the Golden Bear remains Larks on a String by Jiří Menzel (in 1990), Czech cinema recorded notable co-production successes recently. The winner of the 68th Berlinale, Touch Me Not (2018), was made with the contribution from Czech company PINK. The year before, Agnieszka Holland received the Silver Bear for film that opens new perspectives on cinematic art Spoor (co-produced by nutprodukce on the Czech side). Danish-Swedish-Czech-German A Royal Affair (co-produced by Sirena Film) appeared in the competition in 2012, French-British-Czech La Vie en rose (co-produced by OKKO Production) in 2007. In the very same year, also Jiří Menzel competed at the Berlinale with I Served the King of England.

CORE IM podcast: Mind The Gap on Admission Paracentesis

You have always been told to do a diagnostic paracentesis on admission in cirrhotics with ascites, but why? Can you just get away with clinical judgment to rule out SBP? Is faculty judgment any better? And if you're going to do a paracentesis on admission, do you need to do it right away? Go deeper with Dr. Steven Liu and Dr. Janine Knudsen!
What do guidelines say about diagnostic paracentesis in cirrhotics with ascites? (1:51)
Can we just use clinical judgment to decide if paracentesis is warranted? (3:13)
Do attendings have better clinical judgment than residents to rule out SBP?
Does timing of paracentesis on admission matter for mortality? (6:33)
AASLD and European Association for the Study of the Liver guidelines recommend patients with cirrhosis and ascites admitted to the hospital should undergo a diagnostic abdominal paracentesis.
In a prospective observational trial, physician clinical impression had a sensitivity of 76% and specificity of 34% for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis on admission
Faculty tended to be more sensitive than residents, but not statistically significant.
Don't forget about asymptomatic SBP!
Delayed paracentesis is associated with increased in-hospital mortality in patients with SBP comparing early paracentesis within 12 hours of admission vs. delayed between 12- 72 hours from admission.
This corresponded to an increase in mortality of 3.3% for every hour delayed.

Celeste Holm (Nueva York, 29 de abril de 1917 - ibíd., 15 de julio de 2012) fue una actriz estadounidense de teatro, cine y televisión. Es recordada sobre todo por sus interpretaciones en La barrera invisible (1947), que le valió el Premio Óscar de su carrera, y en Eva al desnudo (1950).

Biografía
Nació y se crio en Nueva York. Era hija única de una pintora y un corredor de seguros de origen noruego. Holm estudió interpretación en la Universidad de Chicago y tras un breve matrimonio, del que nació su primer hijo, decidió convertirse en actriz de teatro.

Carrera
Su primer papel como profesional fue en una producción de Hamlet protagonizada por Leslie Howard. Posteriormente asumiría papeles de importancia en obras que se representaron en teatros de Broadway, como El tiempo de tu vida, en la que compartió escenarios con un entonces primerizo Gene Kelly, Anna Christie (1952) de Eugene O'Neill y sobre todo Oklahoma! (1943), producción que le reportó los mayores reconocimientos por parte de la crítica y el público.

Aparte de su trabajo sobre los escenarios, Celeste Holm intervino en un par de películas poco reseñables antes de que la 20th Century Fox la contratara para intervenir en Gentleman's Agreement, en un papel que le valdría su primer y único Óscar, a la mejor actriz de reparto, así como el Globo de Oro.

Poco después encarnaba uno de sus papeles más recordados, el de Karen, la fiel amiga de Bette Davis en Eva al desnudo, por el que de nuevo fue nominada a mejor actriz de reparto por la Academia. A pesar del éxito cosechado, Holm prefirió seguir trabajando en el teatro, oficio que compaginó con escasos papeles en varios filmes durante las siguientes décadas (entre los que cabe reseñar el musical Alta sociedad (1956), que coprotagonizó con Frank Sinatra) y con apariciones en series de televisión.

En 1967, aparece como actriz invitada en el episodio Concrete Evidence de la serie El Fugitivo, con David Janssen, en el papel de Pearl, contratista de una constructura de la cual es dueño su esposo Pat (Jack Warden) y que rechaza al fugitivo, pero su esposo le indica que lo contrate.

Ya en los '80, también apareció en los últimos episodios de la cuarta temporada y en los primeros de la quinta en el papel de Anna Rossinni en la tele-serie Falcon Crest.

A lo largo de su carrera, Celeste Holm recibió numerosos reconocimientos a su labor en el mundo del espectáculo y fue portavoz de UNICEF.

Vida privada

Holm se casó en primeras nupcias en 1938 con Ralph Nelson, matrimonio del que nació Ted Nelson, pionero de Internet.
Posteriormente estuvo casada con Francis E. Davies, del que se divorció al cabo de poco, y más tarde con A. Schuyler Dunning, empresario del mundo de la aeronáutica, con quien tuvo su segundo hijo, Daniel. En 1966 se casó con el también actor Wesley Addy, con quien compartió matrimonio hasta la muerte de él, en 1996.

El 29 de abril de 2004, con 87 años, se casó con el cantante de ópera Frank Basile.

Falleció en la ciudad de Nueva York el 15 de julio de 2012, a la edad de 95 años.

Novato High School sports fields and practice facilities will be receiving a long overdue and necessary update in the near future, thanks to the Measure G bond.
The first big project will be the building of a multipurpose practice facility, which will be located behind the baseball field, where the current soccer field is.
Novato High Principal Matt Baldwin detailed the plans for the practice facility.
Baldwin explained that the rationale behind the new practice field is that during the winter, NHS soccer teams practice and play games as lacrosse prepares for their season on the same field. Because there are no lights, which Baldwin said "we are never going to have" (at least in the near future), all activities must be done by 5 p.m. in the winter time, making it nearly impossible to allot proper time for each team.
During the Spring, all lacrosse teams must share the field as track practices around them. With baseball nearby, this can become very hectic. The multipurpose field would allow teams to practice unencumbered, as they would have to share the field less.
Michael Woolard, the NUSD Executive Director of Facilities, commented on the various ways in which this practice field will be used by Novato students and community members once installed.
The multipurpose field will cost about $2.6 million and the football field will also be receiving improvements, costing about $1.2 million, all of which will be paid for by the Measure G bond.
The baseball and softball fields will also likely be improved. Parents have voiced their concerns to the board and suggested that turf is put in place in order to replace damaged grass, weeds and gopher holes.
Varsity baseball head coach Don MacQuarrie explained why Novato's baseball field is not exactly up to par.
"The NHS baseball field is very typical of most Marin County public school baseball fields. The school districts generally do not spend much time to improve or even maintain the fields. They usually will cut the grass (or grass-like substance) and provide water. Many of the districts are short staffed, and have a lot of area within their district to maintain. So, the maintenance of your baseball facilities either deteriorate, or you use volunteers to keep them up," said Coach MacQuarrie.
Senior captain Bryan Darlington detailed how the current state of the field has impacted the baseball program.
Parents and players alike have had to maintain the field previously, which is not only cumbersome but has posed some issues.
Darlington also weighed in on how the field is currently maintained.
"As for field maintenance, we're kinda on our own. The only reason anything has been done to improve the field is because a few dads and a bunch of players are willing to dedicate our own time and resources to improve our field ourselves. The district barely ever helps, even during the season," said Darlington.
MacQuarrie expressed gratitude for having dedicated parents and his hopes for the near future.
Much like baseball, the softball field has also been maintained by parents in the past and is in need of some improvements.
Varsity softball head coach Eleni Katsaros detailed the need for updates and how they would benefit the program.
The softball field would receive the same updates as the baseball field, however, that's not all the softball field requires. Recently a 10-foot sinkhole has been discovered on the field, likely caused by a drainage pipe that runs below it.
Baldwin stated that the total cost for turfing the softball and baseball field, updating the football field and installing the multipurpose practice field will add up to somewhere between $7 and $8.5 million in total.
According to Baldwin, the football field is scheduled to receive its updates this summer, while the multipurpose practice facility will be put into place within the next year or year and a half. The turfing of both the baseball and softball fields would be completed subsequent to the prior two projects.
These much-needed updates will hopefully reinvigorate Novato High sports and better enable our athletes to do their best and excel.

Serbian 98th Air Brigade provided with most modern equipment
Aviation Defense News October 2020 aerospace air force industry
On Oct. 26, Serbian Minister of Defence Aleksandar Vulin, together with the Commander of the Air Force and Air Defence, Major General Duško Žarković, visited members of the 98th Air Brigade at Lađevci airport near Kraljevo.
Mil Mi-35 of the Serbian 98th Air Brigade at Lađevci airport (Picture source: Serbian MoD)
Commander of the 98th Air Brigade, Colonel Zoran Prodanović, presented Minister Vulin with the Plaque of the 98th Air Brigade as a sign of gratitude for his contribution to the preservation and development of operational capabilities.
Minister Vulin emphasized that the 98th Air Brigade is provided with some of our most modern equipment, but also with aircraft such as "Orao" (Eagle), that are being intensively upgraded . "They also have the Mi-35s, the CH-92 unmanned aerial vehicles, and most importantly, they have people who have undergone comprehensive training and re-training, who are capable of using this state-of-the-art technology. Armed Forces are proud of their air force, but the air force also has a lot of reasons to be proud of the members of the 98th Air Brigade. The fact that 100 percent of their equipment is in good working order is something that far larger and richer armed forces than ours cannot boast of », Minister Vulin pointed out. According to him, members of the 98th Air Brigade performed particularly well on Pešter.
98th Air Brigade (Lađevci Air Base, Niš Air Base) is composed by the following units :
* 241st Fighter-Bomber Squadron
* 714th Anti Armor Helicopter Squadron
* 119th Mixed Helicopter Squadron
* 98th Air Defence Artillery Missile Battalion
* 98th Airfield Security Battalion
* 161st Airfield Security Battalion
* 98th Air Technical Battalion


Design museum is in Kensington, London. It also encompasses the product, industrial and fashion design. The proceeds of the museum operates as a registered charity. The design maker has a number of items in the room that were used for the production of engineering. The earlier notion of the digital world and the graphics are embedded in the room. There is an interesting heterogeneous arrangement of the artworks (Horst and Miller, 2013). Bold themes are portrayed in the digital era in the design museum. In the room, certain modernity is observed.
20th Century gallery room has a more traditional vibe. There are a number of quaint elements that were originally used in the production of goods. Initial manufacturing that was done during the earlier part of the 20th century was shown as the immediate artwork that a visitor can view. The displays within the gallery is used to analyse the art and design from the end of World War II in the years after the World War, there was product design that was used for the tool of social and economic reconstruction (Macdonald, 2011). In the western society, there are a lot of focuses that are given to the design and the innovation. These values are resonated with the high-style statements. The technological innovations such as the small sized electronics that are used for the development of modern mobile technology are also featured in the museums. Computer aided Designs and the manufacturing are the key themes that are addressed by the designers. There are four different zones in the floor and it is not arranged chronologically.


The lesson is designed to extend the children?s knowledge of migration. The reading can be used in a paired reading session or as part of a class discussion.
• The children will be able to understand and discuss the reasons why some birds migrate.
• The children will be able to explain some of the ways in which birds find their way.
Most migratory birds migrate seasonally. When the weather starts getting cold and it becomes more difficult to find food, or open water, many northern birds fly south. They return in spring and summer to breed. If you live quite far north, you will know that the first spring visitors to our gardens are usually the robins and the starlings. Although individuals of these species sometimes spend the winter with us and enjoy any tidbits we put out to see them through the cold weather.
Birds can usually tolerate cold temperatures as long as there is food available. That is why some birds, like the chickadees, which change from eating insects to eating seeds in winter, don?t have to migrate.


Combining elements of pilates and barre, this upbeat and fluid class focuses on strengthening, toning and lifting all muscle groups while maintaining connection and alignment through the core.
There are no upcoming "Pilates Booty Burn" classes on this day.
Quads were on fire! Great burn!
I really loved this class, it was really fun and challenging at the same time.
Not a morning person, but a morning with Kat is a great way to start the day! she is super knowledgeable while remaining personable. she keeps the class moving with plenty of positive energy. she's a credit to the studio!

AirPods Max first impressions are in – and they're mixed
Apple has sent out its new over-ear headphones to a select band of YouTubers and tech reviewers, and the early impression is one of cautious scepticism
By Halyna Kubiv
Macworld DEC 14, 2020 5:37 pm PST
Apple's new AirPods Max appear to be in short supply, and that applies to reviewers too: only the most favoured of publications have received samples of the new headphones. Here's what the first wave of reviewers have got to say about the AirPods Max, in a set of articles they're calling impressions and first looks rather than full reviews.
The Verge focuses largely on the device's appearance ("an interesting blend of classic only-Apple design flourishes and odd incongruities") and comfort ("pleasantly spring-loaded") – and its smell, oddly enough (the headphones are "a multisensory experience out of the box"). Somewhat surprisingly, the silver version looks a little cheap and plasticky, the site reports, and the "goofy" Smart Case doesn't look as if it would offer much protection.
Sound quality is good, the Verge says: crisp and bright, with a wide soundstage and no distortion even at max volume. But it points out that rivals offering similar quality cost less, and warns that it will have to perform a deeper analysis before reaching a verdict.
John Gruber from Daring Fireball discusses spatial audio – the function that sets the AirPods Max apart from other high-priced headphones – and its availability in the Apple universe. He praises the feature, saying it's comparable to the immersive effect you get in a good cinema with specially adapted sound systems, but laments the fact that this type of audio is only supported by iPhones and iPads. According to Gruber, spatial audio urgently needs to be rolled out on MacBooks and, if possible, the Apple TV 4K (its built-in A10X chip may not be up to the job, however).
Marques Brownlee also mentioned the price of AirPods Max in his video, embedded below. He's currently unsure which rival set of headphones is the nearest equivalent to the AirPods Max: the Sony WH-1000XM4, which costs £350/$350 (and sits at the top of our best wireless headphones chart) or a far more expensive Bose or Sennheiser model.
Brownlee notes that the design and particularly the small details clearly show that the headphones are from Apple. With anodised aluminium on the top and a metal headband, they weigh significantly more than comparable headphones from Sony and Bose. He also reported that sound quality was very good – based on early impressions, to be investigated further in a full review – but pondered if it was "$550 good".
Finally, Cnet (video embedded below) paid special attention to the quality of noise cancellation, but also talked briefly about the audio quality. The reviewer, David Carnoy, compared the AirPods Max to the Bose 700 and (again) Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones, and observed not only that both competing products are almost 100g lighter, but that the Sony headphones also sound a little warmer and, to his taste, better than the AirPods.
All of these early evaluations of the AirPods Max share a sense of caution: none wished their pieces to be taken as the final word on a device that will need more in-depth testing before we can tell whether the high price is justified. Here at Macworld we look forward to getting our hands on a sample and posting our verdict.
Update January 2021: There are reports that condensations can collect inside the AirPods Max cups. More here: AirPods Max 'suffer from condensation' – reports
Here's where to buy the AirPods Max.

The first line of Dnepropetrovsk subway with 6 stations (7.1 km) was opened December 29, 1995. It was the first subway in the former Soviet Union opened after its collapse. Since then, the number of stations hasn't changed.
Dnepropetrovsk subway is not a popular form of transport. The situation could be better if it reached at least the center of the city.
Nevytsky Castle is located near the village of Kamyanytsya in Zakarpattia region, 12 km north-east of Uzhhorod. The castle was built in the 13th century on a hill above the Uzh River valley in place of an earlier wooden fortress.
In 1241, it was destroyed by the Mongol-Tatar's hordes, but, in the second half of the 13th century, it was restored.
Petrovka village is located about 60 kilometers from Odessa. Middle of an ordinary village, you can suddenly see a beautiful abandoned palace built in the Moorish style.
When you walk past these abandoned vintage cars of the last century, you can't make yourself say that it is just a dump or a pile of rusty iron.

url <- paste0("http://en.espn.co.uk/",leagueString,"-",seasonString,"/rugby/match/",matchId,".html")

remDr$navigate(url)

and the page correctly loads. So far so good. Now when I try to get the nodes with
div<- remDr$findElement(using = 'css selector','#liveLeft')

I get back
Error:   Summary: NoSuchElement
     Detail: An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters.

I'm puzzled. I tried also with Xpath and doesn't work. I also tried to get different elements of the page with no luck. The only selector that gives something back is
#scrumContent

A: From the comments.
The element resides in an iframe and as such the element isnt available to select. This is shown when using js in the console in chrome with  document.getElementById('liveLeft'). When on the full page it will return null, i.e. element doesn't exist, even though it is clearly visible. To get around this simply load the iframe instead.
If you inspect the page you will see the scr for the iframe is /premiership-2011-12/rugby/current/match/142562.html?view=scorecard, from the example provided. Navigating to this page instead of the 'full' page will allow the element to be 'visible' and as such selectable to RSelenium.
checkForServer()
remDr <- remoteDriver()
remDr$open()

matchId <- "142562"
leagueString <- "premiership"
seasonString <- "2011-12"

url <- paste0("http://en.espn.co.uk/",leagueString,"-",seasonString,"/rugby/current/match/",matchId,".html?view=scorecard")
# Amend url to return iframe

remDr$navigate(url)

div<- remDr$findElement(using = 'css selector','#liveLeft')

UPDATE
If it would be more applicable to load the  iframe contents in a variable and then traverse through that then the following example shows this.
document.getElementById('liveLeft') # Will return null as iframe has seperate DOM

var doc = document.getElementById('win_old').contentDocument # Loads iframe DOM elements in the variable doc
doc.getElementById('liveLeft') # Will now return the desired element.

A: Generally with Selenium when you have a webpage with frames/iframes you need to use the switchToFrame method of the remoteDriver class:
library(RSelenium)
selServ <- startServer()
remDr <- remoteDriver()
remDr$open()
matchId <- "142562"
leagueString <- "premiership"
seasonString <- "2011-12"
url <- paste0("http://en.espn.co.uk/",leagueString,"-",seasonString,"/rugby/match/",matchId,".html")
remDr$navigate(url)
# check the iframes
iframes <- htmlParse(remDr$getPageSource()[[1]])["//iframe", fun = function(x){xmlGetAttr(x, "id")}]
# iframes[[3]] == "win_old" contains the data switch to this frame
remDr$switchToFrame(iframes[[3]])
# check you can access the element
div<- remDr$findElement(using = 'css selector','#liveLeft')
div$highlightElement()
# get data
ifSource <- htmlParse(remDr$getPageSource()[[1]])
out <- readHTMLTable(ifSource["//div[@id = 'liveLeft']"][[1]], header = TRUE)


It looks like gaps in Iowa bus service left by the reorganization of Greyhound are going to be filled by other bus lines. Donna Johnson of the Iowa Department of Transportation says Burlington Trailways plans to pick up one of the major segments abandoned by Greyhound. The route will go from Des Moines to Chicago. Along with Des Moines, she says the route will serve Marshalltown, Cedar Rapids, Waterloo, Dyersville, and Dubuque. Johnson says the Burlington Trailways will pick up the route beginning August 18th. She says it's important that Iowans stay connected to the rest of the country, and she says it's important that they state connected to cities within the state. The Jefferson line is picking up the Omaha to Sioux City bus route. Jefferson spokesperson Bonnie Buchanan. She says there are two issue, if no one picks up the route, there'll be cities without intercity bus transportation. And she says they lose feeder riders into their other routes if noone picks up the dropped Greyhound routes. Greyhound cited economic reasons for reorganizing their routes, and Buchanan says leaders at the Jefferson Lines believe they can make the route work. She says they do feel with some marketing there are some opportunities. She says since they're a Minnesota and Iowa company, they understand the midwest better than Greyhound. Buchanan says the number one reason people take the bus is to visit relatives. She says the bus is a good alternative for many of them. She says sometimes it's an issue that they don't have a car, or don't trust their car on a long trip. She says they have a lot of student riders without a car, or elderly riders who don't want to fight traffic. Buchanan says time will tell if their efforts get enough people to ride the bus.She says it could take six months to one year to know where they're at. She says it'll take awhile for some of their marketing strategies to take effect. For more information on public transportation — you can visit iatransit.com.

Welcome to our special coverage of the Silver Consolidated Schools Board Meeting on Tuesday 15 December 2015.
The matter of the display of large Confederate flags on the vehicles of students – parked immediately adjacent to Cliff High School – that was addressed in last month's meeting was met not just with stony silence by the majority of the SCS board, but by a challenge from board member Tony Egan that the matter could not even be discussed in Open Public Comment. Not surprising, given that Egan, backed by board member Arnold Torres declared intention to eliminate Open Public Comment altogether, and indeed that item was on the agenda for a "1st reading" in this meeting.
This link is for gavel to gavel coverage to the point where the meeting was adjourned for the executive session.
The agenda is available from the SCS website.

Architecture and its Effect on Mood and Physical Well-Being
By PDH Academy on November 6, 2017 in Architecture
Building materials, lighting, ventilation and the use of space can all affect the mood and physical well-being of building occupants. Design can influence the productivity level of people working in an office. It can improve air quality at home and encourage movement while minimizing the risk of injuries.
People who work in design aren't necessarily charged with the health of occupants, but they are responsible for design that supports health, safety, and welfare (HSW). That's why HSW courses are at the heart of continuing education for architects.
According to the AIA, there are six "evidence-based approaches" or fundamentals that support HSW:
Natural systems
Sensory environments
Developed by industry leaders at the 2014 Value of Design summit, these six focus points help designers affect current concerns, such as asthma, obesity, depression and general well-being in a positive way.
Environmental Quality: Minimizing New and Reversing Existing Pollutants
It seemed like a good idea at the time. Tight-as-a-drum buildings were expected to improve energy efficiency. Instead, they became known as "sick" buildings. Occupants were locked in "chemical soup of materials," says Vivian Loftness, FAIA, at EcoBuilding Pulse.
Now, healthy design recognizes the need for fresh air through ventilation that works in concert with healthier building materials. She and other similar-minded architects call it "environmental surfing." That is, designing for the unique characteristics of the building location to minimize the risk of exposure to environmental hazards.
According to Inhabitat, green buildings are an unexpected boon for business. Not only are workers healthier in general and more productive with ample natural light, ventilation, and access to the outdoors, there's less turnover. Schools report better test scores and lower absenteeism.
Natural Systems: Encouraging Health and Recuperation
Design that gives occupants a "sense of control over personal space" contributes to health, as well, says Inhabitat. Shared buildings such as homes and offices that encourage personal control, including climate control by room and access to the outdoors, improve productivity and reduces stress.
Natural ventilation reduces Sick Building Syndrome, and it's clever now. Whole-house fans or fans with ductwork continually remove indoor pollutants. That's common practice. Innovative design with movable walls, doors, and windows enable cross-ventilation, too.
Ventilation is also important for mitigating the risk of radon poisoning before it can begin. No location is guaranteed safe from radon, but ventilation built into the design routes it outside before it can enter the building.
As for materials, healthier choices aren't hard to find anymore. Low- or no-VOC paints either off-gas slightly or not at all. Furniture, carpets and upholstery fabrics with no formaldehyde are commonplace. Appliances that rely on fossil fuels have more efficient design now. Some can be eliminated altogether in favor of electric models and solar power.
Instead of incorporating a home gym, homes are designed to encourage activity everywhere.
Physical Activity: Promoting Exercise for Better Cardiovascular Health
A space designed specifically for physical activity, such as a home or office gym, is only one way to encourage movement. Architect Magazine says the "deep integration of physical concepts" can inspire a more organic "anatomical engagement."
Work and life revolve around the sedentary. People watch TV at home and sit at desks at work or in school. Fitness opportunities integrated into design help shake that up, both indoors and outdoors in communities.
Outdoors, ample, convenient and safe parks give people a place to move and play. "Incidental physical activity," says the Committee on Environmental Health, involves the safe walkability and bike-ability of communities and general neighborhood design.
Indoors, abundant but well-planned natural light affects mood in a way that encourages activity. Open, clutter-free spaces with intelligent foot traffic paths and easy views and access to the outdoors help encourage people to move more often.
Design for physical activity also helps improve social connectedness. On a much broader scale than one build or a house, community planning can draw people together or separate them. That was one of the major concerns when rebuilding after hurricane Katrina. New Orleans residents have a legendarily strong sense of community. Designers and planners were tasked not just with rebuilding and renovating, but also retaining the characteristics, such as porches and stoops, where people like to gather.
Safety: Minimizing the Risks of Accidents, Injuries, and Crime
The incorporation of ergonomics helps minimize the risk of injury. So do low- or zero-threshold doorways, curbless showers, safe rooms and other physical safety features. Good lighting can reduce eye strain and prevent trips and falls, which are an evergreen, top cause of injuries on the job and at home. Lighting and landscaping design can also minimize the risk of crimes.
Aging in place has brought more attention to good, accessible design that's safe but doesn't look or feel institutional. It's universal design because it's universally safe, convenient and attractive.
When a home is built with every age and level of physical ability in mind, it feels more comfortable for everyone, not just a person who has limitations. Wider hallways, bedrooms and baths on the main floor, adjustable-height kitchen workstations and door levers instead of knobs are only a few ways to accomplish beautiful accessibility through universal design.
Sensory Environments: Enhancing Well-Being Through the Five Senses
The senses are why people choose a certain fabric for upholstery, paint, and art for the walls and one window design over another and why people are firmly rooted in their preference for Mid-Mod, transitional or traditional homes. The senses are how decor trends evolve. The way a space is designed affects mood because it appeals to (or offends) the senses.
"We see, hear, feel and smell each design element we choose," says Houzz contributor, Sally Augustin at Forbes. She believes designers work best when using every design opportunity as a chance to "enrich sensory experiences."
Health, Safety, and Welfare continuing education courses for architects make up the majority of AIA requirements. Of the 18 credits that architects need each year, 12 of them must be in HSW. PDH Academy can help with that.
When you need Learning Units, check out our courses for architects. They're available in a convenient online format or correspondence style through the mail.

There has been huge progresses in Portugal in what concerns gender identity and sexual orientation.
Since the publication of the Law 9/2010, of May, 31st, that allows same sex marriage, there has been more than 200 marriages per year: pic.twitter.com/eUzNmhouBd
Check out Law 17/2016, of June 20, which regulates Medically Assisted Procreation (PMA), extending the scope of the beneficiaries of the PMA techniques.
PMA is now available to all women regardless of the infertility diagnosis, marital status or sexual orientation.
Couples of different sexes and couples of women, married or living in similar conditions, can access PMA techniques, through the national healthcare system.
There has been huge progresses in Portugal in what concerns gender equality.

Law nº 3/2006, of August 21st, is the Parity Law. It establishes quotas for the participation of women and men in the lists of candidates for election.
The Parity Law specifies that in any list for elections, of 3 or more candidates, there must be a representation of 33,3% of each sex.
Also, the candidates' lists should not have more than two persons of the same sex successively.
Here is the representation of women in local power: pic.twitter.com/oGfnsFgQGT
However, we also wanted women to have a say in Economic decisions and that is why we did not stop there.
Law 62/2017 establishes the obligation of a balanced representation system in the administrative and supervisory bodies of public and listed companies.
In Portugal, now the rules are in listed companies: women must represent 20%, as from the 1st elective general meeting of 2018; 33.3%, from the 1st elective general meeting of 2020.

Q: Simple CPU with lots of RAM Chips like the ESP8266 or ESP32 typically only have a couple of hundred kB of RAM. Alternatively, you can buy boards with chips like the NXP i.MX 6, with which you can have gigabytes, but suddenly you're at the level of "embedded Linux" in terms of complexity, and it also looks fairly hopeless to solder such a board together yourself.
Is there a middle ground which...

*

*is still simple to program (... think "ESP"; maybe a simple RTOS but no MMU and processes and drivers etc etc)

*... it also doesn't need high performance (probably not clocked a lot more than 100 MHz

*has access to a couple of hundred megabytes of RAM

*

*which doesn't need to be extremely fast, but at least a couple megabytes per second would be nice (... think "streaming out a couple uncompressed audio streams")?

A: Sure, there's middle grounds, such as cortex-M4 MCUs with memory controllers for SDRAM.
They make sense in only select applications: once you have loads of memory, you either yearn for something that's very number-crunching, like an actual DSP as CPU, or even things that aren't microprocessors, especially FPGAs. Or, you need that much RAM to run multiple processes with isolated jobs, in which case, yes, maybe you're crossing over into lands where a memory-managing/segmenting OS on an application processor is what you actually need.

is still simple to program (maybe a simple RTOS but no MMU and processes and drivers )

I think you're forgetting that MMUs make writing software easy, not harder! If you think programming your MMU is hard, then you're probably not actually doing things with a lot of RAM in different processes, or your appreciation of "complexity" is skewed from what the rest of us consider hard to do right :)
Any embedded developer I've ever talked to will tell you that writing a service to run under Linux or Vxworks is way easier than writing a safe, reliable, self-recovering task on a microcontroller that handles a lot of data. An OS job is to make the developer's life easier. That developer being you.

... it also doesn't need high performance (probably not clocked a lot more than 100 MHz

I wonder why you need much RAM if you can't go through it performantly? Maybe a "small" microcontroller with a SPI RAM is sufficient for what you need. Or flash? who knows your actual use case...

at least a couple megabytes per second

That does sound like you want a CPU in the 100 MHz range or more, or you'll have little use for that much data. More than half a century of system design has yielded that for basically all microprocessor applications, you only need RAM that's significantly slower than the CPU is at processing data. (This looks different for dataplane applications, where a CPU the job of only controlling data flow, not ever touching the data itself, but I guess you're not building a network switch"

A: Once upon a time there was Allwinner's V3S which was an ARM processor and 64 Mega bytes of RAM embedded in TQFP 100 package.
Sochip was the authorized distributor which made also it's demo board.
It costed 3 bucks for 5k parts.
There was an amateur who started an interesting project called Lichee Pi Zero:

Suddenly it became obsolete and replaced by a bigger one with more RAM but packaged in a BGA module.
To answer question:
Renesas sells a family of ARM processors with 3/5/10 Mbytes of embedded RAM. It's the RA family.
The RAM type is: static and not dynamic.
NXP has recently introduced a family of ARM processors with 5 Mbytes of embedded RAM.
You need Yocto to create your custom Linux distro to fit in 5 or 10 Mbytes of RAM.
You will not have problems in creating a custom distro under 10 Mbytes. You might have some problems under 5 Mbytes.

What is physiotherapy?What do we do?
Why not call us today, you won't regret your choice !
Specialist in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal and orthopaedic conditions with contacts in all relevant specialist fields. We are highly experienced and have worked with sportsmen and women from elite to club level.
Paul Tompkins Physiotherapy was set up in 2007 in preparation for leaving my post as Head Physiotherapist at Bristol Rugby club. My practice specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries. We also cover treatments of a wide range of other conditions including treatment following Orthopaedic surgery and neck and back pain.
Our office is based in the Hanham area of Bristol. We can meet clients in our clinics at Kingswood, Hanham and Oldland Common in Bristol. Gym based rehabilitation sessions are available.
We have several highly qualified contacts with a wide range of specialists in their own field and can therefore arrange for clients to receive treatment ranging from sports massage to referral to appropriate specialist for assessment.
I have known Paul of Paul Tompkins Physiotherapy in Bristol for many years and cannot speak highly enough of the help and support he has provided me over the years. I had a number of problems in my early to mid 30's after playing football and saw a number of different physios to try to identify what the issues were and was diagnosed with a variety of different problems from back problems to groin problems etc. Paul was able to identify a possibility that I had arthritis in my hips within minutes of a consultation and helped me through the process of referrals through to a top consultant who confirmed that his initial diagnosis was correct. If I had not seen Paul, I am convinced I would continue to have the problem today.

Q: Cannot upgrade to .NET Core 3.0 from 2.2, or .NET Standard 2.1 from 2.0, using VS2019 16.3.x What I want to do: Upgrade to the latest core and standard versions for my apps and libs that the apps depend on. These apps and libs are currently on 2.2 (latest) and .Net Standard 2.0 for libs.
What have I tried: I have installed the latest versions of all the SDKs, runtimes and the latest IDE of 16.3.2 - I want to attempt to target .NET Core 3.0 and .NET Standard 2.1 for my libraries.
I cannot do any of these things either directly, or by manually messing with project files. It is not in the dropdown for existing projects and if I manually edit the project file, I get an error saying that 3.0 is not a valid SDK version.
If I spawn a new IDE and create a new web app, console app or class lib, I can easily target 3.0, or NetStandard 2.1 - which is fine and proves that it's all installed... but what I don't understand is how to plot a path to migration/upgrade - creating brand new solutions and projects and attempting to recreate the software isn't really an option.
Am I missing something here? The Internet is only really useful for guiding people to how to turn on .NET Core 3 back when it was a preview version, which obviously is no longer the case.
There must be a set of steps to help people migrate from 2.2 core or 2.0 standard ...

A: If you stumble upon this and wish to know the answer to this scenario, it lies in a file called global.json - a file which may not be part of your solution that is probably hiding in the root folder somewhere.
Change the SDK version in this file to 3.0.100 (run dotnet --list-sdks in a terminal to find the version strings) and you should be good to go.

Lions playing for higher seed in NFC playoffs against Packers
Published: Dec 27, 2011 at 07:27 AM
The Detroit Lions have clinched a spot in the postseason, and can secure the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoffs by winning their first game at Lambeau Field since 1991.
The Green Bay Packers have already locked down home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs, making Sunday's matchup against the Lions much less meaningful on their final record.
Needless to say, how Packers coach Mike McCarthy treats the game -- and whether or not he rests key starters, including quarterback Aaron Rodgers -- could go a long way toward determining the road the Lions take in the playoffs.
"We're going to play to win the game next week. I'm not real comfortable with a division opponent coming in here and not thinking we're going to play to get win No. 15," McCarthy said, according to the team's official site.
But McCarthy also didn't commit on which players will try to make that happen, adding that the Packers' health heading into the playoffs is a concern.
Lions coach Jim Schwartz wouldn't directly answer if he will rest any players, but made it clear he's more concerned about reaching the playoffs healthy and with momentum.
"(We can't be) worrying about scenarios or all those other things," Schwartz said, according to the team's official site. "They'll have a team for us to play; we'll be ready for them."
But there are playoff implications still in play. With a win (or a loss by the Falcons), the Lions secure the No. 5 seed and a matchup against the winner of the NFC East -- the New York Giants (8-7) or Dallas Cowboys (8-7). The Lions defeated the Cowboys 34-30 in Week 4.
By falling to the No. 6 seed, the Lions would face either the San Francisco 49ers (12-3) or New Orleans Saints (12-3), who have both defeated them this season.
If the Lions can buck the trend and take care of their business, all of the questions will be answered. It's up to the Packers to decide whether or not they lend a hand.

There are Eternals and there is Eternity, a temporal field in space-time which exists through centuries. The Eternity was created in the 24th century and does employ best minds from all of the centuries since then. It was supposed to be eternal but beyond a certain future they are blocked by some mysterious power/force. And if they travel beyond these hidden centuries, they find Earth, a barren planet & humanity completely extinct. For Eternals, who can watch all of the past(since the creation of temporal field in 24th century) present and future, by traveling upwhen & downwhen within the Eternity, the hidden centuries are a setback. They do cause reality changes and then watch its effects in the future. Their mission is to create a perfect happy time for all of humanity by minimizing their suffering through all of times. But their own time proceeds in a normal manner, they do age, and it is independent of the true reality's time changes.
In order to be really Eternal all of space-time must be closed in loop to Eternity's temporal field, but they can't. They suspect that Timers, from the hidden centuries, are fast catching up with them and want to destroy their power to change humanity's fate (a fate which they see fit). But what could the Timers be plotting against them, and why would they not let a guardian organization oversee all of humanity's welfare. Probably the answer lies in Eternity's decision to delay and sabotage space traveling capabilities of Humanity. The timers are themselves plotting reality changes to delay humanity's inevitable extinction at the specified time...but what kind of plot.


Thank you. Hope u are fine, too. I've been a fan of So Ji Sub since Ghost, which I loved The casting looks really good here and the storyline is fun.
Great minds think alike! Na?
Our tastes are very similar obviously.
Interesting themes indeed. I wonder how SJS and GHJ are gonna pull it off :-? SO excited to see how they're gonna portray the characters to make them sound realistic in the mist of all these supernatural/ mixed elements.
We're still in May (:| so we have plenty of time. Let's wait and see.
Yeah they look so good together. Really hoping August come soon.
And hi to @jaiwook_08 for doing this thread.

Friday, 16th April, 2010 - David Farmer
Anti-drinking advocates are alive and well and are pushing harder and harder for increases in taxes on alcohol, particularly a volumetric tax; tighter opening hours for pubs; perhaps even raising the drinking age. Unruly behaviour late at night does seem to be growing in city centres and indeed something may have to be done. Then again I'm tucked into bed pretty early most nights so my enjoyment of living will not be affected if bars are forced to close earlier.
Use and abuse is a topic that Glug takes a lot of interest in and you might care to read the comments by Trevor Butterworth, Forbes, October, 2009; "A Beer Tax Won't Reduce The Clap- Booze, STDs and the irrational exuberance of public health experts".
In this long article Butterworth exposes the poor statistics behind those claiming taxes on alcohol will solve all sorts of problems. In this case that STD would decline if beer was taxed at a higher rate. "Recently, taxes on sugary sodas have been hailed as a painless way to tackle obesity, despite the absence of proof that the taxes would actually achieve this goal. Now the latest advice for "leeching" America comes from Dr. Lloyd I. Sederer, medical director for the New York State Office of Mental Health, and Dr. Eric Goplerud, director of the Center for Integrated Behavioral Health Policy at George Washington University. Writing in the Washington Post, they argue that imposing heavy taxes on alcohol would both reduce the harmful effects of heavy drinking and help pay for health reform. The logic is that if teens drink less, they'll have less unprotected sex, reducing their exposure to sexually transmitted diseases"
"This particular claim comes from a nine-year-old study from the Centers for Disease Control that generated massive media coverage, not all of it favourable--the Washington Post at the time called it "a loony assertion"--and, interestingly, a crucial bit of backtracking by the CDC: "We said higher taxes could reduce the rate. We didn't say they would," protested Harrell Chesson, the study's lead author."
The final conclusion reads: "All of which brings us to the irrational exuberance that taxes seem to inspire in public health experts. What is the incentive behind advocating tax increases on the basis of such dismal data? Is it really a baleful admission of defeat--that all the health education in the world won't engineer a change in American behaviour? Is it a punitive rebuke to Americans for squandering their money on making themselves fat, drunk and diseased--and a message that they need to be financially leeched to rebalance their humours? Or is it a way of talking about the truly unpalatable: raising money, directly and unambiguously, from the public to finance health care? Whatever the motivation, sound public policy requires health experts to practice what they preach, and that means sobering up in regard to the miraculously curative possibilities offered by taxes; in this case, they are not going to do the job of a condom."


He is a fictional figure and a magistrate of Satsuma domain who is in charge of collecting sugar as land tax in Amami Oshima. He is described as a Jack in office in this series.
He levies a tax severely and punishes a child called Také who tastes a piece of sugar. It antagonises the people of the island but SAIGŌ Kichinosuke, alias KIKUCHI Gengo who is exiled to there arbitrates the dispute. Then Kichinosuke asks Aikana (Tuma) why Yūnosuke collects the tax so severely. She answers the islands should make more sugar and pay them as tax because former lord SHIMAZU Nariakira wasted money to modernise Satsuma domain. It shocks Kichinosuke who is strongly influenced by him.
Needless to say, Yūnosuke who serves the domain as middle manager is told to collect more sugar by his superiors.
However, he oppresses more and more and entraps RYŪ Samin and Tomiken. They are imprisoned and Aikana tries to release them. Kichinosuke also goes there and tries to persuades him but he doesn't listen to what he says. Then he breaks the lock of the jail with a sickle Aikana brings. Yūnosuke is angry with it and plans to write about it to his superiors. But he stops doing so as KOBA Dennai brings him a letter of Ōkubo Shōsuke (later Ichizō) and learns the real identity of Gengo is Saigō Kichinosuke from it.
Gesshō was a priest at the end of Edo period. He was known for his activity as royalist and the friendship with SAIGŌ Kichinocuke.
He was born as son of a physician of Osaka but became a priest in 1827. In 1835, he became a chief priest of Jōjuin of Kiyomizu-dera Temple. But he interacted with people who supported royalism (sonnō-ha) and took part in the group that recommended HITOTSUBASHI Yoshinobu for the 14th shogun and opposed II Naosuke.
After II Naosuke became Tairō, he and Kichinosuke were pursued by Naosuke's men and arrived in Satsuma after a lot of hardships. He was sheltered in a house of Kichinosuke but he was told to go to Hyūga (current Miyazaki) at last. It meant that he would be executed so he and Kichinosuke threw themselves into the water. Though Kichinosuke survived, he was drowned.
He is said to have advised Kichinosuke not to die when he tried to commit suicide for SHIMAZU Nariakira who died suddenly in 1858.
In this series, he is a priest who is a close friend of KONOE Tadahiro and became to know Kichinosuke at his residence. After II Naosuke took office, he travels to Satsuma with Kichinosuke and ARIMURA Shunsai (later KAIEDA Takeji) eluding the authorities.
The image showa ONOE Kikunosuke as Gesshō.
On a charge of disobeying Hisamitsu's order, Kichinosuke is exiled to Tokunoshima and MURATA Shinpachi is exiled to Kikaijima island. As both of them are criminals, they cannot receive stipend and should be self-sufficient. Then ŌKUBO Ichizo sends Kichinosuke a letter saying that Japan needs to change Japan Kichinosuke will be recalled to Satsuma soon. And Aikana visits him with Kikujirō, a baby daughter and elder brother Tomiken. Kichinosuke meets his daughter for the first time and names her Kikusō. A little while ago, Aikana asked her uncle Samin to go to Tokunishima but was not allowed because her time was near. But Tomiken offered his help.
Soon after she gave birth to a girl (Kikusō) and then she visits her husband in Tokunoshima. Kichinosuke thanks to Tomiken who sleeps in his hut but he is awake in reality and delighted with his words. Aikana knows about the Teradaya Incident also. Though they plan to live together in Tokunoshima, the officials of Satsuma domain visit the hut and take him along as it is decided that he is exiled to Okinorerabu Island. Aikana tries to protest them but Kichinosuke tell her not to make matters worse. He says farewell to Aikana, Kikujirō, Kikusō and Tomiken and goes to another place of exile. The island situates farthest south in the territory of Satsuma domain and the place where only felons are exiled.
Meanwhile, SHIMAZU Hisamitsu whose appeal was accepted by the Imperial Court goes to Edo. TOKUGAWA Iemochi, the 14th shogun is obliged to obey the order of the court backed by Hisamitsu who neither has official rank nor official title. It is an unprecedented event since the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate. Thus HITOTSUBASHI Yoshinobu and MATSUDAIRA Shungaku (Yoshinaga), both of whom were made to confine themselves at home by II Naosuke take office again. However Yoshinobu says what Hisamitsu does is nothing but imitating what his dead brother Nariakira planned in front of Hisamitsu himself and he doesn't understand how Japan should be. Then he tells him who uses Satsuma dialect to speak in ordinary language. He says ironically that it's hard for him to understand what he says and calls him "bumpkin" (**).
Yoshinobu asks him whether the ox man comes to Edo or not. Though Hisamitsu doesn't understand what he means, Ichizo realises that he means Kichinosuke. Yoshinobu tells Hisamitsu that he should bring Saigō if he hopes to talk with him and he thinks he is alive in reality. Hisamitsu loses face by his words. And Kichinocuke arrives at Okinoerabu Island and is imprisoned in an outdoor jail and TSUCHIMOCHI Masateru, official of the island and lived in Satsuma before greets him with his mother Tsuru and some islanders. They share their food with him so he can have usual cuisine. One day Masateru brings him two letters but somebody snatches them from him.
He is called KAWAGUCHI Seppō who has spent ten years in the island as exile and drinks sake from a gourd in the broad daylight. He opens the letters without the permission of Kichinosuke and begins reading. Both of them are from KAIEDA Takeji and ŌYAMA Kakunosuke and complain importunately that Ichizō tries to curry favour with Hisamitsu. Kichinosuke says to himself that they cannot understand what Ichizō really thinks but Seppō asks him whether he really understands him or not. Kichinosuke answers that he does because Ichizō is his friend but Seppō then asks him why his friend didn't oppose his exile and leaves him in such condition. Seppō insists that there is nobody who doesn't betray others and reveals that Masateru brings him food with sympathy to him who is to be executed someday. In actuality, the food for a criminal is cold barley-rice and salt that is served once a day.
After that, Kichinosuke doesn't have the food brought by Masateru. He gives it to children and lives on barley rice and salt only. Masateru persuades him to have the usual cuisine but he never listens to him and becomes to grow haggard. One stormy night, Kichinosuke cannot move any more and the jail is hit by rain and wind. The memories of Ichizō and Aikana cross his mind and he hears his own voice speaks to himself.
"You have more things to protect."
"There are more things only you can do."
At the same time, Aikana prays for the safety of her husband in Amami Oshima. After the storm, Seppō finds Kichinosuke lying in the jail so he breaks a bar and make him drink the water from his bamboo container but in vain. Then he makes him swallow it from his mouth and sees his throat moves. Later Masateru and islanders visit and enter the jail and recognises that he is alive. They take him to the house of Masateru to keep him alive, even though it's against Hisamitsu's order.
(*) He has kiseru, smoke tube in the right hand.
(**) In Japanese, he says "imo" that originally means potato but also means bumpkin or unsophisticated people.
He is a fictional figure but maybe based on YAMADA Tamemasa who served SHIMAZU Nariakira closely.
In this series, he is described as a man who is a little and cautious man. He is a typical loyal vassal who is faithful to his lord. But sometimes he cannot understand what he intends to do. And he is perplexed by SAIGŌ Kichinosuke also as he often behaves recklessly. He warns him several times but became familiar with him. When Nariakira tries to have his photograph taken, he who is with him is finally made to sit for photograph instead.

A couple of days ago, after I had filled up the feeders, I noticed a flash of orange at the cedar feeder. I knew right away that it was completely different from our yellow goldfinches.
It turned out to be a Bullock's Oriole! He's been hanging out with all the finches like he's one of them.
I'm still amazed at how many new birds we keep seeing in our backyard.

When I was recently asked to pull together an organisational chart for our team for a board meeting, my first reaction was to create a pyramid diagram, with the leader on top, followed by four successive layers of Senior management, Deputy management, Junior management, and Advisers.
While this is how most of us would describe the structure of an organisation - does it still reflect the reality of management today? Is it still fit for purpose? In my case, the team and I quickly realised that such a rigid hierarchy can hardly be considered as aspirational.
It was only until after I left my job in the public sector that I discovered new models of working. These models see teams as being the sum of their parts. Emphasis is placed on having more fluid teams where individuals' duties are allocated to them based on their strengths, skills and personal interests, as opposed to what their titles are. In retrospect, as a fresh pair of eyes, I felt I had rightly captured the top down essence of my former team, and to some degree perhaps highlighted where our working model was failing us.
We now find ourselves in an environment of co-creation, where we seek to work more collaboratively and effectively with our colleagues. Ideas and structures are no longer based on a hierarchy, but rather on skills, expertise and personalities. We now find ourselves in an environment where a teenager, namely the Summly app developer, Nick D'Aloisi, is working alongside the President and CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer, to develop and create cutting edge technology. His age is left at the door. His ideas are not.
This is illustrative of a shift towards the employees of a company being hailed as one its strongest assets when it comes to trust and reputation.
There is an increasing need for leaders to communicate their vision, and collaborate with their team to collectively achieve this vision. Research has recently shown that influence is being redistributed from traditional authority figures such as CEOs and prime ministers towards employees, peers and people with credentials.
Ensure everyone's role is well-defined: According to Forbes magazine, most companies fail to unlock the full potential of their workforce because they fail to define what they want from their employees and how they want them to do it. This can make it difficult to lead each other to where you want to go.
Don't pay lip service: If you want to change the way you work, then the change needs to become part of the companies DNA. Invest time and effort to listening to your employees and working together to achieve new ways of doing things. This also involves giving credit where it's due.
Know your team: Learn about the strengths of your team and where you can put their skills into practice at work. This understanding forms the bedrock of a truly engaged, multidisciplinary and integrated team.
