2 New Ways to Enjoy Verse of the Day!
New Verse of the Day magnets are here, and we made them stronger than ever. This same beautiful art is also available in post card packs. Send inspirational Bible art to your friends and family, or keep it right at home.
Earlier this year, we released the wildly popular Bible verse magnets, based on our famous Verse of the Day images. Since our designers are producing new Verse of the Day art every day, we decided to make some more magnets.
Our new Bible verse magnets are bigger, stronger, and just as beautiful.
The plates are metal, so the art is more durable. The magnets are stronger, so they're more useful. The words are Scripture, so they're just as powerful.
These magnets are beautiful enough for your home, and sturdy enough for your garage, shop, or work.
When you preorder a pack, you'll get five powerful verses: John 16:33, Isaiah 61:3, 1 John 4:8, 1 Corinthians 13:7, and Luke 11:4.

Surround yourself with reminders that God is love (1 John 4:8), encouragement to "take heart" (John 16:33) and "forgive everyone" (Luke 11:4), because "love bears all things" (1 Corinthians 13:7) and God gives us beauty instead of ashes (Isaiah 61:3).
Preorder the latest Verse of the Day magnets, postcards, and T-shirts now.
Is there a way that they could be set as a desktop background that would change each day?
Are you asking if there's a way that your desktop could display the current Verse of the Day every day, or just to change the image every day?
If you just want a different Verse of the Day image to display every day, you can find all Verse of the Day slides on blog.biblia.com, save them to a folder, get an app like Automatic Wallpaper Changer, and adjust the settings to change the desktop background daily. I don't believe there is a way to display the current Verse of the Day on your desktop every day without changing it manually.
I had purchased the pre-pub of the Verse of the Day postcards, when are those going to be coming out?
Today! :) The preorders are being shipped as we speak.

Another chip shortage is only a matter of time. Here's how businesses can prepare
by Brandon Vigliarolo in CXO
on December 6, 2021, 9:03 PM PST
Shortages are more regular than we may realize, and it's time for the businesses making and using semiconductors to implement these five fixes, says Deloitte.
Deloitte has published a set of five recommendations for the semiconductor industry designed to help it better weather a future chip shortage that it has described as not a possibility, but an eventuality.
Must-read CXO coverage

Organizations are far more likely to realize value from AI when their workers do
4 non-coding jobs every IT team needs
By the time our current semiconductor shortage ends, Deloitte said, it will have lasted more than 24 months and will likely have had a global cumulative revenue impact of more than $500 billion USD. Anyone shopping for holiday gifts in 2021 knows how dire things have become: Countless products are unavailable and wait times don't seem to be shrinking.
SEE: Top keyboard shortcuts you need to know (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
Far from being an unprecedented shortage, Deloitte reminds us that there have been six shortages of similar duration or magnitude to today's in the past three decades. As semiconductors become more important to the global economy, the risk of a shortage only increases, it seems. "In the coming decade, it's a near certainty that some combination of events such as a global recession, major weather event and disruption near a critical maritime port or strait could all occur roughly at once," Deloitte said in an article covering its recommendations.
The semiconductor industry is famously rigid, and making changes can be difficult due to long lead times, material acquisition and countless other factors. Any number of different factors could lead to another shortage, and Deloitte admits there's no stopping a shortage, only lessening it.
To that end, Deloitte has five recommendations covering four types of players with a stake in the semiconductor industry: Chipmakers, distributors, customers and governments.
Five fixes the semiconductor industry needs to implement
Five actions that four semiconductor industry stakeholders can take to improve industry resilience.

As you can see in the above chart from Deloitte, the actions that different stakeholders need to take varies based on their role. "Our research suggests that no single one of these is a panacea, capable of fully mitigating the next shortage. All of the various players need to do all of their respective parts, work together and at the same time not create a glut," Deloitte said.
Increase overall capacity
The first thing that businesses need to do, specifically chipmakers and governments, is to build overall chip development capacity. Deloitte says semiconductor demand is skyrocketing, with the three largest players expected to exceed $200 billion in capital expenditure from 2021 to 2023, and by 2025 that number could double.
Existing plants have upped their production capabilities, and new plants are being added, but it won't be enough based on current demand vs. production capacity numbers: Deloitte said that demand is growing as fast as, if not a bit faster, than production. Don't expect that to slow down.
Increase localized capacity
Secondly, Deloitte recommends that those same two players, especially governments in this case, work hard to build local semiconductor production capacity to stave off any geographical issues that could cause shortages. "[High concentration of chip production in East Asia] has attracted significant government attention from the United States, Europe and China, and plans are already underway to build new plants in those countries or regions, as well as Israel, Singapore and others. This process is also known as 'localization,'" Deloitte said.
Deloitte warns that this isn't a sure-fire solution however, and will only help alleviate shortages by a bit, especially since its findings indicate that localized production initiatives "will only cause concentration in East Asia to drop by a few points, meaning it would still produce more than half of all chips by 2023."
Be lean, but not too lean
The third recommendation is to become strategically lean, but not to go too far: "There is such a thing as too lean," Deloitte said. The early stages of the pandemic proved that having a supply chain that's too focused on a "just-in-time" philosophy leaves a company stranded when shortages begin to occur because they have no cushion.
SEE: Google Workspace vs. Microsoft 365: A side-by-side analysis w/checklist (TechRepublic Premium)
"Those buyers with less lean supply chain models fared better with the chip shortage, at least at first, "Deloitte said. As our current shortage has worn on, it's grown to affect almost every industry and every company, which Deloitte said indicates a tight balance is needed that leaves a bit of flexibility for short-term interruptions, but realizes that long-term problems can't be easily weathered. "Being strategically lean can buy time, but a severe and prolonged enough shortage seems to hit everyone," the report said.
Break the bullwhip
Breaking the bullwhip, the fourth of Deloitte's recommendations, is the only one that applies to each of the four semiconductor stakeholders, but it's not a term with an obvious meaning, either.
When you crack a whip, the waves that you create at the end you hold are miniscule, but as they travel down the length of the whip they become larger, and further distort the shape of the whip. Replace the whip with the semiconductor supply chain and the hand holding the whip with customer requests or orders and you have a picture of where disruption happens: Further down the chain toward the bottom-level manufacturers like chip foundries.
"Most OEMs, distributors/suppliers and customers have not adopted systems or processes to enable real-time information exchanges," Deloitte said. Companies with a stake in the semiconductor supply chain should work to develop six key digital capabilities, Deloitte said:
Stay connected to customers to head off any ripples before they begin to grow.
Develop products digitally to increase agility and innovation speed.
Synchronize planning between internal and external suppliers for both long-range needs and real-time demands.
Make use of intelligent supply chain capabilities to reduce risk.
Implement smart operations technology to streamline factory operations and improve uptime.
Use a dynamic fulfillment that allows products to be adaptively manufactured from a multi-sourced supplier network.
Deloitte has several other recommendations for breaking the bullwhip effect, and everyone with a stake in semiconductors should take the time to learn how their organization can implement required changes.
Digital transformation is essential
Deloitte said that most semiconductor companies that participated in a recent study had embarked on some form of digital transformation by spring 2021. The sorts of transformations they're undertaking include collaborating with supply partners to implement blockchain, sensors, AI and other supply chain technologies, as well as taking actions that work toward tracking and improving customer demand patterns and buying experiences.
"Taking a combined approach toward digital transformation by addressing business, technology, and workforce and operational considerations can enable them to be more adaptive to future supply chain-driven business disruptions," Deloitte said.

LANCASTER - The Fairfield County commissioners Tuesday approved a plan that may help some Buckeye Lake residents who have a stormwater drainage issue.
The move comes after the commissioners last week accepted a $495,000 Ohio Development Services Agency grant. County Engineer Jeremiah Upp will now solicit bids to contractors for the work which will only include the Fairfield County portion of Buckeye Lake.
"We would have major flooding concerns without this project," commissioner and Millersport resident Dave Levacy said.
Upp previously said there are three major pumping stations at Buckeye Lake to pump stormwater into the lake through the dam. But the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, with little notice, forbade stormwater from going over or through the dam during a dam reconstruction project.
Therefore, the county devised the West Bank Drainage Project.
Upp said the county would take over the Parrish Pond pump and allow West Bank and Ballards Lane property owners to pump their water into it. The county would then build a drainage line down the railroad tracks to the south, cross Liebs Island Road and empty into the feeder creek.
Had it not been for the grant, residents would have had to pay for the system at a price tag of $7,000 or $8,000 for each household. But the grant will reduce that cost to $400 or less for two years in maintenance and upkeep costs.
As the commissioners approved the project, commission president Steve Davis said some residents may not have liked the plan, if not for the grant, because they would have faced a special tax assessment.
"With the grant, we do not expect a special assessment but for maintenance costs," County Administrator Carri Brown said.
"Rep. Schaffer was spearheading the processes in order to allow for the grant funds to be available," she said. "So because of his effort, and his conscientiousness toward this particular project, there was the opportunity for the grant."
Schaffer said if the government causes a problem it should pay to solve it.
"You can't blame the citizens," he said. "ODNR allowed homes to be built on the dam."
Schaffer said the grant money came from a $1 million fund from three years ago to help deal with the loss of business the dam issues caused. He said there is about $405,000 left and that he will protect it in case more help for Buckeye Lake is needed.
Schaffer said he realized something had to be done quickly after ODNR made its drainage decry.


Who is Chica About Town? I am a Latina!
There are times when I am asked where are you from? Your English doesn't have a Spanish accent and your Spanish sounds a little like you are from Mexico City. I will start off at the beginning, and those of you who know me… well you know I never tell a short story.
Born in New York, my father is Puerto Rican, and my mother from Monterrey, Mexico. I didn't grow up in New York, I grew up in Texas. I started traveling at a very young age; my mother would send me to visit our family in Monterrey, Mexico. I would go on family vacations with my cousins via car to San Miguel de Allende, Guadalajara, San Luis Potosi, Puebla, all the beautiful cities in Mexico. My grandfather was a train engineer and my grandmother and I would ride the train to Mexico City. I learned to read and write Spanish in Mexico, my grandmother bought me a comic book and I taught myself to read Spanish. Those adventures with my family have been some of the happiest moments of my life. I lived in Mexico City in the 90's which solidified my roots in the Latin culture.
I am Chica About Town and I am a Latina embracing life with love and positivity!
Won't you join me on my journey?


The UW-Madison Information Security Team (MIST) is collaborative group of campus IT staff and management with a common interest in promoting information security at UW Madison.
Members provide communication, guidance and leadership for campus-wide security issues and initiatives and serve an advisory group to the UW-Madison Chief Information Security Officer.
Actively participate in reviewing and discussing IT Security Strategy, IT Policies and IT security tools and processes.
Communicate broadly and deeply within your campus organization as well as with the CISO and UW-Madison IT Security Team.
Consider and balance broad cross-campus perspectives and local perspectives.
Be respectful and inquisitive of differing options.
Be supportive internally and externally of decisions established by this group.
UW-MIST has 3 sponsors: the Chief Information Security Officer, a designated member of the IT Steering Committee, and the UW-Madison Chief Information Officer, who also serves as the executive sponsor. They are responsible for directing and prioritizing efforts of the group, reviewing and responding to UW-MIST reports, selecting the community chairperson, and reporting to and collaborating with the IT management advisory groups.
UW-MIST will have 2 chairpersons: the Deputy Chief Information Security Officer and a member of the campus's distributed IT community, serving a 2-year term. Members provide nominations for the community chairperson to the current chairs, who act as facilitators in the chair-selection process. Chairs objectively present the nominations to the sponsors, who make a selection. The community chairperson may serve more than 1 term, but those terms may not be consecutive. Terms begin on Feb 1 of even-numbered years.
Chairpersons, in conjunction with the executive committee, are responsible for overseeing subcommittee work, recruiting and maintaining a membership that is representative of campus, and directing or delegating work assigned to the facilitator. They are also responsible for calling meetings, recording and communicating decisions, reporting to the sponsors, and ensuring an inclusive discussion. Chairpersons will ensure the distribution of agendas and discussion materials at least 48 hours prior to plenary meetings. Chairpersons will also ensure discussions are inclusive of various perspectives and opinions.
Appointed by departmental Dean or Directors, these members provided decision-making authority through voting on advisory direction provided to the CISO. They are also the official contact point for their division or department. These members may temporarily delegate their responsibility.
Additional departmental members or others interested technologists or managers interested in providing insight on how proposed IT security strategies, IT policies or IT security tools and processes may impact campus or their operations. These members may be self-identified, identified by appointed members, sponsorship, the chairpersons or the CISO. These members do not have voting rights.
Members of the UW-Madison IT Security Team may attend meetings for the purpose of sharing information, listening to topics that may impact their responsibilities and to network with other membership. These members do not have voting rights.

See the full range of MIST meeting documents.
This charter defines the shared direction, guiding principles, membership, and roles and responsibilities for the UW–Madison Information Security Team (UW–MIST) and its subcommittees.
Continuously improve the overall cybersecurity posture of UW–Madison, and of all of the individuals in the UW–Madison community, by providing recommendations, feedback, and advice to our Sponsors and University leadership, and by championing cybersecurity to every corner of campus.
UW–MIST is a community of individuals at UW–Madison interested in advancing the cause of cybersecurity. Membership is open, and varied, and includes cybersecurity professionals appointed by divisions, departments, or units, as well as students, faculty, or staff interested in IT security. The team meets monthly to discuss timely, interesting, or relevant matters relating to cybersecurity, make recommendation to governance and the Office of Cybersecurity, and share techniques and best practices with other members. In addition to the monthly plenary meetings, UW–MIST commissions various permanent and ad-hoc subcommittees that generate additional discussions and recommendations on more specific and focused areas of expertise.
We must act as good stewards of resources that support the overall mission of the University.
A culture of cybersecurity-awareness is an essential part of any cybersecurity program.
The best discussions and recommendations come from a warm, welcoming, inclusive, and spirited community.
Individual engagement in cybersecurity is beneficial for everyone.
Consensus—whether through legitimate, reason-based persuasion, compromises, alternatives, or a combination thereof—is the best way for our community to make decisions.
Our community owes the campus our judgement, expertise, and proper representation of all viewpoints, regardless of our alignment with a specific division, department, or unit.
We support a culture that identifies and bolsters data protection opportunities, specifically in the areas of availability, integrity, and confidentiality.
We must act as champions for cybersecurity best practices in our divisions, departments, and units, and for the entire campus.
UW–MIST is an open and welcoming community, driven primarily by consensus building and the idea that the community has a membership-of-equals. It, however, does provide structure that guides direction setting and decision-making, as to facilitate a highly effective team.
UW–MIST has three sponsors: the UW–Madison Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), a designated member of the IT Steering Committee (ITSC), and the UW–Madison Chief Information Officer (CIO), who also serves as the executive sponsor. They are responsible for directing and prioritizing efforts of the group, reviewing and responding to reports provided by UW–MIST, selecting the community chairperson, and reporting to and collaborating with the IT Management Advisory Groups.
UW–MIST will have two chairpersons. One chair is the UW–Madison Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (D-CISO). The other is a member of the UW–Madison's distributed IT community, serving a two-year term. Members provide nominations for the community chairperson to the current chairs, who act as facilitators in the chair selection process. Chairs objectively present the nominations to the Sponsors, who make a selection. The community chairperson may serve more than one term, but their terms may not be consecutive. Terms begin on February 1st of even numbered years.
The UW–MIST Executive Committee is responsible for charting the direction of UW–MIST, in accordance with this charter and the UW–Madison Cybersecurity Strategy, via solicitation of content and creation of agendas for plenary meetings. In addition to establishing meeting agendas, the Executive Committee is also responsible for distributing communications to membership, and formalizing subcommittees to work on specific efforts. Members include the CISO, Chairpersons, Facilitator, and three to five Chair-or-Sponsor-invited members representing the wider membership. Other members may attend agenda planning meetings, and participate fully in discussion.
The CISO will appoint a facilitator for UW–MIST to meet the group's logistical needs. The facilitator is responsible for organizing plenary and Executive Committee meetings, per the Chairs' instruction. This includes reserving appropriate meetings spaces, and publishing meeting agendas. The facilitator is also responsible for publishing notes from plenary and Executive Committee meetings. The facilitator and Chairpersons will coordinate to define the facilitator's responsibilities and duties.
UW–MIST membership is comprised of any faculty, student, or staff member with an interest in cybersecurity, and a willingness to participate in open discussions about cybersecurity at UW–Madison. Members join the community in a variety of ways: a division, department, or unit lead may appoint them, they may participate on their own recognizance, or a sponsor, chair, or member may recruit them by some other means.
Members attend the monthly plenary meetings, having reviewed any discussion or presentation materials in advance. They also actively participate in the community outside of meeting, in particular by reading and contributing to conversations occurring on the community's mailing list. Members also aid the Office of Cybersecurity in setting and advancing a consistent cybersecurity strategy for campus. Outside of the community, members advance the agenda of cybersecurity to the entirety of campus, in particular, by conveying best practices and lessons-learned from the community to their own division, department, or unit. Members appreciate and value a wide range of perspectives, and represent those perspectives both inside and outside of the community, and are respectful of everyone attempting to improve cybersecurity, even if there is a disagreement over opinions or methods.
Divisions, department, and unit leads appoint Commissioned Members, who provide decision-making authority on advisory directions provided to the Sponsors. Units must appoint a Commissioned Member if they wish to ensure they are properly represented. In addition, the Sponsors may appoint one faculty member and one student to serve as Commissioned Members. These members may appoint their own proxies, and do so by informing the Chairs. Commissioned Members participate in all plenary meetings, represent their division, department, or unit, and participate in official voting. Commissioned Members are encouraged to recruit new Community Members.
Community Members participate in UW–MIST not as an appointee, but on their own recognizance. Sponsors, Chairs, and Members encourage others, who have shown an interest in IT security on campus, to participate as Community Members. Community Members participate fully in discussions, consensus building, and other activities, and only differ from Commissioned Members in that they are not eligible to participate in official votes. Staff in UW–Madison Office of Cybersecurity and the Division of Information Technology (DoIT) may participate fully as Community Members.
UW–MIST will meet monthly , but the Executive Committee may adjust scheduling as needed. The Executive Committee will be accountable for generating and ensuring the distribution of meeting agendas and minutes. Members are to review the material and be prepared for the meeting and potential discussion.
UW–MIST will strongly favor a consensus-driven decision making process to ensure everyone in the community is involved. However, in the unlikely event a formal vote needs to be conducted, Commissioned Members and Chairpersons will cast one vote per person (not position). Sponsors and Community Members will not cast votes. A vote is successful if more than half of the voting-eligible members present answer the question in the affirmative, and fails otherwise. Votes may only take place when there is a quorum of seven voting-eligible members.
UW–MIST uses subcommittees to focus a select group of members on a particular issue that requires more work or discussion than is possible in plenary meetings. These groups are responsible for adopting their own charters and appointing their own chairpersons, in consultation with the Executive Committee and any relevant sponsors. They must also provide periodic report-outs to the entire community. Subcommittees must provide any work they generate to common repository, open to all of UW–MIST. It is up to each subcommittee and its sponsors to invite members outside of the community, if needed.
UW–MIST establishes permanent subcommittees to address topics of perpetual interest, as determined by the entire community. The Executive Committee serves as a sponsor for all permanent subcommittees, and these subcommittees will report to the Executive Committee, as requested.
The Information Security Communications (ISCOM) committee focuses on how to engage the community in communicating information security concepts, strategies, procedures, and metrics.
The purpose of the Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation (CDM) Team is to provide recommendations towards the implementation and ongoing maintenance of a comprehensive and consistent CDM program. A successful CDM program consists of a knowledgeable community that leverages processes and tools to identify and resolve potential security alerts in a timely manner. Currently, the Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) Steering Committee covers the responsibilities of the CDM team, and they will transition into the permanent CDM role once they have completed the ATP work outlined in their charter.
The Credentials Steering Committee examines the current security of UW–Madison authentication credentials as compared to best practices and current recommendations, such as those published by NIST, SANS, inCommon, and others. This includes exploring how to increase the security of credentials, guided by standards. The committee considers costs and benefits to assure that recommendations of the team are practical to implement. MIST jointly sponsors this committee, along with other relevant and interested campus parties.
UW–MIST establishes ad-hoc subcommittees to address timely or one-off areas of focus. UW–MIST charters these subcommittees to research and write a report or recommendation on a specific topic, and they dissolve once they have completed their charge.
Commissioned Members and Sponsors must each certify the Charter as binding. Certification expires after two years. The Executive committee is responsible for reviewing any amendments to the certified Charter, as well as for starting the review and recertification process as the Charter's current certification expires. Commissioned Members and Sponsors must each certify any amendments to the already certified Charter. Amendment certifications last until the Charter's current certification expires. Recertification, following the same process of the original certification, may take place at any time, and expires two years after the date of the recertification.

Q: Visual Studio code Python not intalled I'm just installed Visual Studio Code yesterday and am getting the error that Python is not installed.   I currently have Python 3.8 installed.  I have tried installed Python 3.7 and Python 3.5 and still am getting the same error that python is not installed and am unable to select a python interpreter even when I point it to directory of my python install.

A: I am assuming you have the "Visual Studio Code and the Python Extension" installed. (https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/python/python-tutorial)
You could try replacing the path slashes with double back-slashes.
See: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python/issues/3460#issuecomment-452708017
For example:
C:\\Users\\username\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Python\\Python37-32\\python.exe

A: I resolved this issue by uninstalling Python, then reinstalling to a simpler path.
My previous installation was located at: C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\python.exe so I reinstalled Python to C:\python and VS Code now recognizes the interpreter.

It also warned me that I was using an outdated version of PIP (even
though I installed the latest Python version - 3.8.5), but it was
easily upgraded by typing the installation command provided in the
error message.

A: I got mine solved by removing the .vscode folder and the vscode config file. Now everything seems to be working fine
If you are on Linux then run these commands:
rm ~/.config/Code/User/settings.json
rm -rf ~/.config/Code
rm -rf ~/.vscode

Then if you want you can reinstall vscode, mine worked without a need to reinstall

A: It's simple just go to the extension tab and type "Python". Install the First one (By Microsoft) and restart vs code and your good to go.

uKheshe is now 'cashing' it in
August 15, 2019 by INFO SUPPLIED	No Comments
10 MONTHS since launching its financial inclusion platform, uKheshe, the fintech company has announced the completion of its first seed investment round.
Initially under incubation as a CSI initiative within software development house Jini.Guru, uKheshe has successfully closed independent seed funding with both Fitech Ventures and the Ocean on 76 Group.
Clayton Hayward, co-founder of uKheshe, says that financial inclusion remains the overriding imperative of the service: "Having access to a transaction account is the first step towards broader financial inclusion. Since launching, we have seen, through tremendous uptake, that these services are not only needed but will significantly impact the overall financial inclusion of unbanked and underbanked South Africans."
Seed investor, Chris Lister-James from Fitech Ventures says that while it is difficult to accurately value early-stage fintechs, uKheshe's current trajectory has justified the initial valuation of R100m: "The market opportunity is enormous and we are excited about our investment and the role we will play in providing sustainable financial services. Having invested in several early-stage fintech start-ups, we have some great complementary companies and look forward to playing both a financial and strategic role in the growth of uKheshe."
Digital migration is a reality and Prins Mhlanga, CEO, Ocean on 76 Group, another uKheshe seed investor, says that services like this will significantly improve financial inclusion as it offers an easy-to-use, affordable alternative: "Usage and the subsequent sustainability of the platform will ensure that as the world continues to embrace digital transformation, the majority won't be left behind."
Lister-James says that while most countries in Africa remain largely cash-based, with majority low-income earners, who are wary of banking fees and distrust financial service providers, there is immense opportunity: "The significant cell phone penetration enables fintechs, such as uKheshe, to develop convenient, cost-effective, digital financial services solutions that can circumvent the existing financial services providers. We view this disruption as not only positive, but necessary."
He says that the uKheshe investment will typically extend between three to five years, which given the nature of the rapidly changing environment, is a realistic timeframe.
Hayward says that the next funding round for uKheshe will be series A, but the timing of this investment is yet to be determined.

Re: QMJHL News
I love how some of you clowns think you know all about hockey bc you spent 100k over the years.
There is a local kid who just turned 17 already playing in the KHL he probably use to school your boys on the ice.
You are smoking crack. There are no 17 year olds--let alone American 17 year olds--playing in the KHL. Americans playing in the KHL are in the twilight of their careers, they're not rising stars.
What team?
Oh now your interested? Red Star. Also if your kid was playing pro in Germany making 400k you would be talking about it every day to your dunkin donuts cashier. Dbag.
Stop lying your ass off Jethro. There aint no 17 year old playing in the KHL and if there was one good enough at that age, he would be a first round draft choice in the NHL next June and playing there.
Signed at 17. Sorry buddy your wrong you don't know he probably schooled your little Johnny in U18 when he played for VJW.
http://www.pointstreaksites.com/view/massselects/news-1338/news_326560
Rudi Ying 11 months ago. Sorry your kid couldn't make it to the show.
So full of ****. Probably thinks KHL stands for Kanadian Hockey League.
Believe it or not, the guy's right. A Chinese team in the KHL just signed a 17 year Chinese kid who played for the VJW. Pure publicity stunt. The kid's terrible--but great for a Chinese national. Couldn't make Phillips Exeter varsity last year so left and played VJW U-18. His dad probably owns the team.
So have your lil all star go play for them bc the KHL is the real deal pal.
Aug 26, 2016 - 12:01PM
The kid ain't gonna play and you know it. He wasn't good enough to play around here. It's preseason for KHL and they are building a roster like everyone else. Daddy is an investor in the club and that's why the kid is on it. You act like the kid is really going to survive out there in a league with Pavel Datsuk. Yes we all know the KHL is the real deal and there are a lot of American's playing in it but they are men, 25 and up. There are no 18 year old's who couldn't score a goal at Exeter so they packed up and decided to play in the KHL.
Aug 26, 2016 - 1:36PM
His dad owns the team? Where do you people come up with this stuff? If that was true and that's why he made the team well then he would certainly play.
You guys are to much sometimes!
Kids not good. You know it. We all know it. We saw him play. But I'm sure he will be a pathfinder for all average hockey players to follow when MajorJunior/NCAA/NHL aren't in the cards.
Sep 1, 2016 - 2:32PM
The kid's dad is an extremely rich Chinese movie producer and actor. He played split season with my son a few games and would show up to the rink in a Bentley. I believe that his dad could be an investor or the owner of the team. I remember seeing a video made about him and his youth team and they were saying he was going to be the first Chinese born player to play in the NHL. I didn't see it or him having the ability to play in the KHL but I suppose that things could change.
Tune in on 9/5 and see for yourself.
Sep 27, 2016 - 4:02PM
Rudi's rocking the K. 9 GP, 0 pts 2 shots total, 2 hits total, 3 min per game.
It's all about the entertainment factor, who cares if the kid can play? He has yet to prove it in his lifetime, though I'm sure his parents will take care of that
Sep 29, 2016 - 10:47PM
Fake made up stats. Sorry your kid didn't make the varsity this year again. Oh well there is always senior year.
Sep 30, 2016 - 8:20AM
Love this post -
"The kid from China that played prep? C'mon. Average player for around here."
Have you seen prep games in the last 5-6 years? A lot of future 'Club Hockey Heros' are playing prep hockey. . . and by a lot I mean A LOT!
"Fake made up stats"!! ROFLMAO. It's called Google, try searching before you reply out of your ass. Here's a link to KHL player page--now he's played 10 games, still got the 0-fer.
http://en.khl.ru/players/25198/
yeah, it doesn't matter, I'm sure the Chinese people are being entertained though.
Look if your kid was playing you would be pumped he made so STFU alright. He made it and he is playing. He has zero points but it's still early. It is a great accomplishment that he made it to the KHL and won the BIOSTEEL endorsement. Again if it was your kid you would be holding court at dunkin donuts every Monday recapping the weeks games with your buddies. He's a rookie give him time and do be a player hater be a motivator.
So I guess they're not "fake made up stats" eh?? Whoever you are you need to check yourself into a hospital because you are clearly delusional. Kid's position on team was bought, same as all the other 3 Chinese kids on the team, who in total have no points!! Same with the BIOSTEEL "endorsement". What a F---ing joke. If I ever bought my kid a position on a team I'd shut my mouth about it. "Recapping the week's games with my buddies"?? "Oh, he looked so good on the bench, drank a LOT of water. He really passed that towel." Oh yeah, I'd be boasting about that. LOFL.
What a joke, the kid has never made anything, every time things hasn't work out, his parents moved him to another situation which they paid for. Can't imagine what they did to get this done. I hope the Chinese fans are enjoying the entertainment factor over there.
Oct 5, 2016 - 6:50PM
Watch video...http://video.khl.ru/events/483175
#2 is what happens to little Chinese boys whose dads buy them spots in the KH!!
Thats the most contact I've seen that kid take in his whole career.
Just wait 'til the Biosteel kicks in...
Oct 25, 2016 - 4:12PM
2016-17 Kunlun Red Star KHL 17 0 0 0 2 0
I'm sure it has been quite entertaining for the Chinese fans
You do realize that is not Ying, right? Start drinking Gatorade and get off the Haterade.
Maybe if you send him some fan mail he will get your kid a tryout for their farm team.
Oct 26, 2016 - 12:08AM
17 games 0 pts 2 PIM. He's a stud. "Haterade"????
Oct 26, 2016 - 2:48AM
You must feel like an ass calling out the wrong Chinese kid. Stop hating buddy. Sorry you spent 20k per year on your kid and he is playing beer league now.
It is the right kid, but then again, he is on the ice for such a small amount of time, it would be easy to get it confused. Keep paying for those skills, I suspect that entitles him to play in the KHL, lord knows he never earned it playing for any team
Doesn't matter who the picture was of--one Chinese hockey player is the same as the other. Only 1 legit Chinese player on the team and its not Rudi Ying. 23 yo Zach Yuen, Chinese-Canadian, actually has a hockey resume, unlike Ying, who just plays one in his daddy's dreams.
Guy on my Men's league Beer league team played in the Q a few years ago. Don't forget the old adage " all roads lead to Men's League around here"
Wow - I feel horrible for you. You obviously are not that bright. The video is not Rudi Ying it is Xia Tianxiang another player of Asian descent. Ying didn't even play that game. Please seek an appointment with a neurologist. You may have experienced severe head trauma as a child. Perhaps you ate a lot of lead paint chips as a kid?
Please don't post here unless you know what you are talking about.
Oct 27, 2016 - 10:25PM
Post didn't say it was Ying. You think he's the only little Chinese boy on his team with an 0-fer for the season whose daddy bought his spot?
Nice cover up but the post on 10/26 @ 7:55 clearly states it's him. Well it ain't. Sorry douchey your were wrong and don't stereotype.
Stereotype Chinese players that are on Beijing team that have zeros across stat line as being terrible players and having positions on team purely for the sake of publicity? Not stereotyping if it's true.
Kudos to you though for completely hijacking an interesting thread for your own feeble attempt at promoting an eh Chinese hockey player
You'd be doing the same if you could for your kid, douche!
The best players don't need their daddies to promote them.
Nov 1, 2016 - 10:09PM
Daddies? Spell check moron
Nov 2, 2016 - 10:42AM
Daddies, plural of daddy. Back to first grade for you.
Not terrible. Made varsity but sought out other opportunities. Not sure if his dad has an ownership stake but he is a famous Producer/Director in China. So I guess we don't have to worry about him if this hockey thing doesn't pan out.
Correct. He was on varsity both years, played his junior year but senior year went to VJW. He's been working with Gary Roberts as well as RHA Academy. I bet he puts up some decent numbers in his first season, let's see!
Aug 27, 2016 - 8:26AM
The kid got 1 assist in 1 varsity season at Exeter! You are smoking crack. Pure publicity stunt.
Correct. He was on varsity both years, played his junior year but senior year went to VJW. He's been working with Gary Roberts as well as RHA Academy. I bet he puts up some decent numbers in his first seas
on, let's see!
That's better then the ZERO you got playing JV your senior year!!!!!! Hahahhaahahha!
Sorry your boy is playing beer league!
Very familiar with the Rudy Ying situation, the kid played no better than 3-4 line at Exeter, kid has some skill, but had no interest in mixing it up on the ice, was mostly a spectator while he played. The family is loaded! Dad is some kind of famous talk show host on Chinese tv. Rudy's spot on that KHL team in China has been bought and paid for by the father, that's what they've done during the kids whole life.
As was stated earlier he has been working with Gary Roberts and RHA academy all summer. He's only 18 and he can still improve. He's in the KHL NOW let's see what happens and give him a chance.
What does it matter who he is working with, the family can write checks out their butt, he didn't earn nor does he belong in the KHL. this is all because of his father's checkbook
How the **** do YOU know? Watch a lot of KHL do you?
I swear, the "rich people suck" mentality here is ridiculous. If the team finds it worthwhile economically both for the publicity it could create in a nation with 1.4 billion people, and anything the dad may (or may not) be doing to grease the wheel, how are you qualified to say he doesn't belong?
Professional sports is entertainment. Grow up.
Yes, it will be entertaining. Thank you for your input Mrs. Ying
Right on and we all know most folks would do the same for their child if they could. So zip it up and see how if plays out before writing this kid off!
so what your saying is, if a parent writes the check to the right skating clinics, they deserve to pass everyone else to have a spot on a KHL team, even though the kid could barely play prep?? Keep writing those checks Mrs. Ying, your kid will learn a lot from that.
No, what we're saying is, a team based in CHINA gave him a spot. What their reasons are, are their reasons, and you have no clue what they are.
Tell us, how many Kunlun Red Star games did you see last season?
The Chinese Ice Hockey Association also saw fit to have him be the Captain of their U18 team at the World Juniors, too.
Who they decide to have him work with is their business. Imagine that, an 18 year old trying to develop his game.
Hate to burst the haters bubbles out there but rudi just wrapped preseason and he put some points on the board. First season game is next week so tune in online with your little johnnie. KHL is the big show little bo peep.
It's amazing what money can buy you, especially in China
The kid from China that played prep? C'mon. Average player for around here. Nice story because hockey just getting started in China but please.
(Just posted on another thread but relevant here as well...)
Personally, I'd rather have my kid play in the Q, then play college at one of the top Canadian universities (McGill, U of Toronto) than have him play for most of the Hockey East schools, from an educational perspective. Canadian college hockey rosters have numerous ex-CHL players.
yes, they do, congrats on your 21-year old freshman
As opposed to the 21 year old frosh on a US College roster?
Average age for freshmen hockey players in NCAA is 21.
Sep 2, 2016 - 9:51AM
Another kid led astray by stupid parents and "advisers".
Who's to say he was "led astray"?? The kid is a late '99 and probably hadn't gotten much college attention yet, if any, and was seeing tiny 00s and 01s getting commits. He wasn't drafted in the USHL (or even the Q) and he got an opportunity out of the blue. If the team's GM hadn't turned over, he'd probably be happy as a clam in the Q and would probably finally get some recognition. As it is, he may actually get MORE attention from colleges now than he would have because they've at least heard his name. Losing one year of eligibility may turn out to have been a small price to pay.
If a kid isn't getting NCAA attention from schools he'd like to attend, why not go to the Q? Q teams offer educational packages that can be used anywhere. True, they wouldn't cover the whole price of college, but they'd help and a player who hasn't gotten much attention from college hockey wouldn't be getting much of a package either if he eventually does get an offer.
Sep 2, 2016 - 12:46PM
Comment was made by a guy who wasn't contacted by any advisors. So, naturally, anyone that has one is an idiot.
So many people on these boards act like what is happening to someone else's kid is somehow negatively impacting them.

Q: How to change color icon in TabLayout in Xamarin Android? tabLayout.AddTab(tabLayout.NewTab().SetIcon(Resource.Drawable.Home24),true);

I want :
default color of icon is #F3F3F3(unclicked)
default color of icon is #00000(clicked).

A: First, create a color selector in Resources/drawable/tab_icon_color.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:color="#000000" android:state_selected="true" />
    <item android:color="#F3F3F3" />
</selector>

To get a ColorStateList from that xml:
var tabIconColors = Build.VERSION.SdkInt >= BuildVersionCodes.Lollipop
                        ? Resources.GetColorStateList(Resource.Drawable.home_tab_icon_color, Activity.Theme)
                        : Resources.GetColorStateList(Resource.Drawable.home_tab_icon_color);

Then, for each tab:
var tab = tabLayout.NewTab().SetIcon(Resource.Drawable.Whatever);

// we wrap the icon to support API < 21
var iconWrap = DrawableCompat.Wrap(tab.Icon);
DrawableCompat.SetTintList(iconWrap, tabIconColors);
tab.SetIcon(iconWrap);

tabLayout.AddTab(tab);

Results (with different colors though):

Who am I here?
"The Stepfather" is a mediocre film at best. We watch movies like "The Stepfather" for the suspense, the action, the attractive females, and the drama. This movie has all this and Dylan Walsh from TV's "Nip/Tuck". I must be watching too much "Criminal Minds," as I was working on a profile of Walsh's David Harris character the whole movie. The movie stars Sela Ward, a divorced mother with two pre-teen children and a boy nearing adulthood. TV star Penn Badgley, coupled with Amber Heard's bikini clad body round out the main cast.
David Harris's unknown childhood drives him to want the perfect family, if this does not work out, he kills the family, as seen in the opening of this film. Moving on to a new city, changing his looks, his name, and always paying in cash, David Harris finds himself looking for a new victim. Staking out a grocery store, looking for the perfect surrogate family, Harris comes across Susan Harding, played by the still extremely attractive Sela Ward, and her two pre-teen children. Seeing himself as the perfect father for this family, Harris introduces himself, turns on the charm and starts anew. Sometime later, Susan's oldest son Michael, played by Penn Badgley, returns from military school for the summer and the plot thickens, as they say. Unsure of his position in his family, Michael takes his time adjusting, lounging by the pool with girlfriend Kelly, played by Amber Heard. David's psychosis starts to surface when Michael's younger brother Sean, played by Braeden Lemasters, ignores his mother, and plays his video games too loudly. David grabs Sean by the neck and squeezes hard, scaring the kid into submission. After taking a job showing houses for Susan's sister Jackie, and doing well, Jackie asks for some personal identification for tax forms and David quits. David deals with these intrusions into his delusions the only way he seems to know how, violence. As you can guess, Michael catches on to David quickly and trouble soon ensues. From here on out, the rest is predictable.
I think Dylan Walsh's character, although incomplete, was the most developed. Walsh's creepy acting helped to counter-act the weak character development that the story's writers left him. When strangling the family's estranged father in the basement, I could see in Dylan's eyes, not anger but desperation, not evil, but fear. His glances, his hand gestures, his facial gestures all appear original and convincing. Sela Ward, on the other hand, plays her character way too trusting, a bit too naive, and less convincing as Walsh. Penn Badgley does a better job in staying on the fence about the stepfather. Michael seems to envision a happier, idealized family at first, willing to let go of the past and start anew. Perhaps the writers handed Badgley more character than they did the rest of the cast. In contrast, Amber Heard, plays a blonde in a bikini, no depth, no woman's intuition until it's too late. Eye candy is all she is.
A good thing about this film is the pacing. The prologue is a series of quick cuts allowing the audience to form impressions rather than to take in fully the carnage. Slower shots as the location and main characters are lightly developed. I think director Nelson McCormick, realizing he was in trouble, reacts, by picking up the pace and shortens the scenes, compensating for a lack of story development. McCormick pauses, perhaps a bit too long on the pool scenes, to let the camera caress Amber Heard's supple body. Quick edits help keep the film's pace on track and the suspense building until the end of the movie, which comes blissfully faster. The other key ingredient for keeping this film moving and the suspense building is the music. Perhaps overdone on parts, however, this movie needed the overemphasis badly to keep the tension from fading.
I never quite came up with a great profile for this character, other than what appeared to be his basic need for a family. I could conjecture, that Edward was abused when he was a child, abandoned or neglected. The writers do not give any direct references to the Walsh's character's past. This is why I think this film falls into the mere slasher movie category and nothing more. Watch this movie only if you are looking for a cheap thrill, keep your expectations low and get close to your significant other.

Zack Greinke reportedly is one of the most coveted players in this season's trade market. Greinke is a free agent at season's end and is just 28. He already has five seasons of an ERA+ in the 120's (park-adjusted ERA 20 percent better than league average). This season his ERA+ so far is 205, which means his park-adjusted ERA is 105 percent better than the National League average.
For his career Greinke has struck out 8 batters per 9 innings pitched, walked only 2.3 per 9 innings and given up 0.3 homeruns per 9 innings. His career ERA+ is 116. His career pitching Wins Above Replacement ranks 20th among active pitchers. There isn't a younger pitcher ranked higher on the active list. The only pitchers in the top 25 younger than Greinke are Felix Hernandez and Matt Cain. If Greinke is not a legit ace, he's pretty close.
There are whispers that Greinke wants to pitch for the Braves and some rumors that the Braves have some interest. But it would likely be tough for the Braves to give up the prospects required to get Greinke if they are only guaranteed 2-3 months of his services.
Honestly I don't know how much a team may know behind the scenes, as far as whether a player is likely to sign with their team. There are obviously rules against negotiating with a player while he's playing for another team and I'm sure no team would risk any sort of severe punishment for getting in to serious talks with an opposing player's agent. Plus, it would ruin the player's leverage in contract negotiations if he made his intentions known that he really wants to play for a particular team.
But perhaps the Braves realize Greinke has some interest in playing for them and strongly suspect he would sign with them at a reasonable cost. If such stuff goes on behind the scenes, teams and players likely would keep it under wraps to a very strong degree to avoid getting anyone in trouble. So we will never know it that kind of stuff goes on.
One option for the Braves, if they want Greinke, is to ask the commissioner for a time frame to negotiate an extension once a trade is agreed upon. This happened with Alex Rodriguez and the Boston Red Sox during the 2003-04 off-season (before the players' union wouldn't allow him to restructure his contract and he was traded to the Yankees) but I can't remember this happening with an in-season trade. With a star player like Greinke, it's possible that the commissioner would give the Braves permission to negotiate but, again, I honestly don't know if there is any precedent for this, in-season.
The Braves could just make the trade and risk losing Greinke after the season. If this would assure them of a World Series title, maybe even just the NL Pennant, of course they should go for it and not look back. The problem of course is that nothing is guaranteed and you would hate to lose talented young arms like Julio Teheran or Randall Delgado for just 2-3 months of Zach Greinke without winning anything.
If the Braves are pretty sure they can sign Greinke to an extension and are willing to go all out to sign him, I'm all for going for it. It will probably take a Teheran or a Delgado plus 2-3 lesser prospects. I would give Milwaukee it's choice of Teheran, Delgado or Minor plus throw in 2-3 lesser prospects; perhaps even Teheran or Delgado, plus Minor and a lesser prospect or two.
This isn't a Mark Teixeira trade. The Braves can't make that type of trade simply because they don't have those types of prospects. Also, the Braves would give up young pitching in a Greinke deal for a proven pitcher who really isn't that old. Young pitching is a huge risk. Unless you have a clear-cut, absolute stud in your farm system, you should not be afraid of parting with young pitchers in the right deal.
If the Braves feel pretty certain they can sign Greinke, they should be willing to give up one of their young pitchers with stud potential. That young pitcher would likely be Julio Teheran.
I don't think 2-3 months of Greinke is worth one of our top prospects. But if it's true that he actually wants to play in Atlanta, maybe we'll be able to secure him for a multi-year deal at the end of the season.
By the way, did you see his ejection four pitches into the game last night?
Mike, thanks for reading. I did see the ejection and I was none too happy, as he's on my fantasy team.
I do think the Braves must go all out to re-sign him, if they were to make a trade because I think a trade would require the Braves to give up one of their top pitching prospects. A trade may depend on the options out there for centerfield next season and how cheap those options are, and how cheaply they can fill the void at thirdbase or leftfield next season.

Q: In PowerShell, how to list files that do not have an extension, like "dir *." used to in the command prompt? For example, if I have two files
foo
foo.txt

In the old-fashion command prompt
dir *.

returns foo as desired (along with . and ..).
However the same command in PowerShell returns an empty list. How to circumvent that?

A: We can use the -Filter option of the "new" PowerShell's dir (a.k.a Get-ChildItem):
dir -Filter *.

The filter can be a relative path
dir -Filter .\path\to\*.

or it can be combined with a relative or absolute -Path
dir c:\path\to -Filter *.

Oxy-Powder? is a scientifically formulated compound that uses the power of oxygen to safely aid the body in relieving irritation associated with constipation symptoms. A clean, toxin-free intestinal tract is the foundation for maintaining optimal health. Did you know over 100 million Americans are constipated? Each day, your digestive system handles approximately 2-1/2 gallons of food, liquids, and bodily secretions. Your colon does not digest processed junk foods well. Waste can begin to slowly pile up within your colon and it can become impacted. The result? Constipation, irritation, and overall poor intestinal health. A toxic colon can put your health at risk. Oxy-Powder? can help restore it!
GHC Oxy-Powder, 120 Capsules has been added successfully to your wishlist.
Oxy-Powder® helps to gently cleanse, flush, and detoxify your colon without the dangerous or embarrassing side effects of laxatives and herbal colon cleansers!
Herbal cleansers and regular laxatives can be as rough on your body as the unpleasant conditions they're meant to alleviate. They can leave you feeling drained or as if your insides have been tied in knots.
Oxy-Powder® provides a completely different approach to colon cleansing. Unlike harsh chemical-based cleansers, its safe, all-natural formula gradually releases cleansing oxygen into your digestive tract over an 18-hour period. Oxy-Powder® helps to liquefy and lift away mucous and sludge gently so it won't make you a prisoner of your bathroom! With Oxy-Powder®, there's never any urgent rush.
When activated together, Oxy-Powder®'s unique combination of ozone-oxygenated magnesium, organic germanium-132, and citric acid help clear out deep-seated waste built up inside your intestinal system. The result is an intestinal environment with less opportunity for the accumulation of impurities, toxins, and harmful bacteria.
Oxy-Powder® does more than just help cleanse and purify your colon. It helps create a safe environment for beneficial bacteria that naturally aid your digestive system. Why waste time and money on a quick fix, when the long-term solution is right in front of you? Oxy-Powder® helps your body work the way nature intended!
For first time Oxy-Powder® users, GHC recommends starting initially with Dr. Group's Seven-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse. The exact number of capsules necessary will vary depending on your weight, previous dietary habits, exercise patterns, and stress levels. Start by taking 4 capsules with an eight-ounce glass of purified spring or distilled water on an empty stomach about an hour before going to bed. If you do not achieve 3 to 5 bowel movements the following day, increase your serving size by 1 capsule each night until 3 to 5 movements are achieved. Continue this quantity for at least 7 consecutive days. Oxy-Powder can be safely taken for 3 to 4 weeks without it becoming habit forming or harmful to your body.
After the initial cleanse, continue with a maintenance dose to keep your intestinal tract clean and to deliver oxygen into your system. While taking Oxy-Powder®, drink plenty of purified water and practice a healthy diet.
Use the same dosage you used for your 7-Day Oxygen Colon Cleanse 2 or 3 times a week or as needed. This can be taken indefinitely without it becoming habit forming or harmful to your body. Plus, regularly taking a maintenance dose of Oxy-Powder® helps supply your entire body with beneficial oxygen.
GHC Health recommends drinking plenty of pure water. This is not only healthy for the body but will aid the body in eliminating toxins from the bowel at a faster rate. Oxy-Powder® works with your own body's HCl (stomach acid). If your level of HCl is below normal, this may hinder the effectiveness of the Oxy-Powder®. We suggest squeezing juice from an organic lemon wedge into the eight-ounce glass of purified water when you take Oxy-Powder® in the evening.
This product causes watery and gaseous stools that could cause you to feel the urge to pass gas. If you are not able to control your bowels, please be careful when using this product. Oxy-Powder® will cause watery, gaseous stools. This is very different than diarrhea, which is usually caused by a viral infection. It's the byproduct of oxidation. Remember, solids are being turned into liquids and gas. To promote the cleansing process, we advise drinking half of your body weight in ounces of purified water daily while taking Oxy-Powder®.
Why bother with foul tasting and overpriced herbal colon cleansing products that have to be precisely measured and mixed several times a day?
With Oxy-Powder® you don't have to put your life on hold every time you need to cleanse. Taking it is as easy as swallowing a kosher certified 100% vegetarian capsule.
Many supplement manufacturers choose to utilize cheap and potentially dangerous ingredients such as psyllium, cascara sagrada, and senna from countries like China and India for their herbal colon cleansing formulations.
Both herbs cascara sagrada and senna contain chemicals that have been shown to cause electrolyte imbalance and potassium loss leading to impaired nerve function and irregular heartbeat. Iironically, psyllium has been cited in numerous studies on constipation as causing obstruction of the gastrointestinal tract! Why would anyone purchase a "bowel cleansing" product that causes bowel obstruction or an irregular heartbeat?
Many manufacturers of these potentially dangerous cleansing products also like to show off the disgusting "mucoid plaque ropes" that some of their customers produce. Don't be fooled. Most of these cleansers are made with bulking fibers (like psyllium) that expand to many times their original size when wet and glue-like binding agents such as marshmallow root. But how much of that rope is actually mucoid plaque and how much of it is just the product itself? With Oxy-Powder®, you know without a doubt what you put out is more than you put in.
Since 1999, Oxy-Powder® has been helping people just like you reclaim their digestive health from the inside out! Over two million satisfied customers have used Oxy-Powder® and continue to give it fantastic reviews. Isn't it time you tried it for yourself? Isn't it time once and for all to beat the "blahs" and feel clean again? Try Oxy-Powder® 100% risk free. You have nothing to lose except those dangerous colon toxins. Guaranteed!
Years of Constipation Gone. "I cannot believe this has worked so well."
I have been taking this product for 2 weeks now, and it is AMAZING!!! I have suffered from constipation for YEARS and nothing has ever worked...laxatives, changes in my diet, etc. I have been truly impressed and my belly is flat, flat flat. I cannot believe this has worked so well. I am now having regular, pain-free bowel movements after each meal. I just had to write and tell you that I am so grateful to have found this. My friend and I split a 3 month supply and she is overjoyed as well. Thank you bunches!
Lifetime Constipation Gone, No Cramping. "I Feel 100% Better!"
I have been constipated my entire life, literally full of you know what. Would go maybe every week or so and walked around feeling like a sausage. I have been taking laxatives my whole life to boot and not only did my body become addicted to the laxatives but they made me sick to my stomach. I was not really overweight, but yet I had difficulty losing any weight at all over the last 2 years. I started to become fatigued all the time, and felt like I was walking around in a fog half the time. I found this website and after reading the testimonials I tried the product and it is everything it claims to be! There is NO cramping at all like taking all other laxative products or tea's, and it works just great! I dont think I am cleansed to the point of getting to the mucus stored in my body, but it does not matter! I feel 100% better and go everyday now! I take 5 capsules 2 times per week for maintenance and it works perfect. Now when I go on vacations, I dont have to worry about being miserable, I just take some with me. No more walking around feeling like I'm 6 months pregnant and cant breathe! This product rocks!
Two or Three BMs a month now regular. "The bloating I have been living with for years is gone!"
About 5 years ago, out of the blue, I began suffering from severe constipation. I was only having a bowel movement 2 or 3 times a month. I tried a number of different remedies with no success and, frustrated, finally gave up. Recently, I stumbled across your website, and after speaking with my doctor, decided I would try Oxy-Powder®. After only 4 days on the initial cleansing cycle, the bloating I have been living with for years was gone. I also noticed I had more energy during the day. I am now taking the pills every other day for maintenance. I can't say enough good things - This product is amazing and I have already recommended to friends!
Having gone through one bottle of Oxy-Powder® and just starting the second, I can unequivocally state that my fatigue, and general malaise was due to chronic constipation. I no longer suffer from and cannot believe the difference in my skin and energy level. Had I not stumbled onto your product I'm not sure I would have ever made the connection between a clean colon and good health. I recently saw a link to your website on Salon.com — so the word is getting out! Good job! Thank you for a wonderful product, I plan to use it the rest of my life, and my dad is now using Oxy-Powder® too!
After suffering for nearly 30 years with constipation and bloating, I am so happy to be able to wear my tight little black number again to parties and special occasions, which was very unattractive with the bloated tummy constantly with me, along with the feelings of irritability and fatigue. The first two days of using Oxy-Powder® had quite a "wow" factor, and a restroom must be close at hand or you are in big trouble, but once aware of the situation when using the product the feeling of purity and well-being far exceed the initial getting used to the effects of using Oxy-Powder® in the early days. I cannot recommend the product highly enough to those like me, who have felt the misery of constant bloating and feeling conscious of personal appearance with an ugly bloated tummy. After three days of use this appearance had completely vanished and I can wear my favourite clothes and feel great. The feelings of fatigue and awful constipation have vanished, my skin is now radiant and I feel like a new person; I cannot imagine being without this wonderful product. Thank you so much Oxy-Powder® I shall definately be a permanent user.
Oxy-Powder® is one of the greatest things that I have discovered! I have just finished my first bottle and this product is amazing. I am so much more regular now, and the size of my waist and hips has gone down a bit too. My tummy feels flatter than ever. I have gotten some of my friends to try Oxy-Powder® and everyone just loves it. I would really recommend this to anyone! Thanks!
"How could anyone think of using nasty enemas or laxatives when this product is available?"
Everyone needs to know that this product is the best you can buy. At first, I was skeptical about spending money on anything that claimed to be so effective. I was wrong. I have just ordered my second bottle because Oxy-Powder® has made me feel so much better. I'd been eating junk food my whole life and it finally caught up with me. I had a miserable time on vacation because I was so constipated; now when I look at pictures of it I look totally bloated! Even if you don't think you're constipated it's my advice to you to order anyway, because you might be suprised, and it can't hurt to clean out your system once in awhile. After I used Oxy-Powder® I wondered how anyone could think of using nasty enemas or laxatives when this product is available.
Bowel Movements From Every 2 or 3 Months to Daily. "I lost 14 pounds of waste!"
About ten years ago, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident that left me with a great deal of physical trauma. Until I took Oxy-Powder®, I would have bowel movements only once every two or three months. During the 7 day cleanse, I lost 14 pounds!!!! At 5'6", 130 lbs, I wasn't overweight to begin with. It was quite a shock to me to find that I had that much waste in my body. Since taking Oxy-Powder®, I've felt better, have had regular bowel movements (two to three per day), and have kept the 14 pounds off (I'm not dieting). I've also recommended this product to any one who will listen. I'm so impressed with the product that I will be a lifetime user.
"I realized just how total elimination and cleansing feels."
I heard about Oxy-Powder® from a co-worker of mine during a conversation about colon cleasing. I had thought seriously about getting a colonic, not because I suffer from any real constipation, but for it's cleansing properties. I decided to purchase a bottle. As many have stated in their testimonials, getting started is scary. But once I got past that and began my cleanse, my anxiety was replace with a feeling of relief and calm. I truly felt more intune with my body, like it was saying "thank you, this is what I needed" Although I was never one to suffer from constipation I soon realized just how total elimination and cleansing feels. I was great! I am now hooked and have told everyone I know about the wonderful results of using Oxy-Powder®. I will continue to use in thoughout my life to maintain a health digestive system. Thank you Oxy-Powder®.
Went from Size 16 to 12 in Seven Days, Energy is Up, Sleeping Soundly. "I am forever in your debt!"
When I hit my thirties I found myself dealing with bouts of constipation, and then had to take laxitives that kept me cramped up for days. I ended up with hemorrhoids the size of Texas. This product has been a dream come true for me. I didnt believe the other testimonials I had read, now however I am a believer. At the end of my seven-day cleanse I went from a size 16 to a size 12, and I did nothing but give up Cokes, didn't change anything else at all. My energy is up — and I am lazy, so that's important. Another thing is my mood, I am way less grouchy, almost perky! Sleeping like a baby— it's just been an unbelieveable week. This weekend I'm going out in a new size 12 outfit and shake my booty to celebrate my 35th birthday! I look and feel better than I have in years! Thanks oxy powder I am forever in your debt!
I finished my first bottle of Oxy-Powder®, and I must say, it has done everything it promises!! My skin has not broken out and my digestive system is functioning extremely well after months of constipation. I have more energy and I've lost 8 pounds!!!! Thanks Oxy-Powder®!!!!
I have suffered with bowel problems for about three years now. Prescription medicine did not work for me. So I suffered. I ran across testimonials for Oxy-Powder® on CureZone.com and went to your website. It sounded like something that would benefit me, so I ordered a bottle. It has been five days on ten pills a night, and WOW...I can tell a tremendous difference! No more pain, or discomfort. I am really grateful to your company for making available such a great product. I will be a customer 'for life' in the maintance program!
My experience with Oxy-Powder® was very positive. I used it during a 14-day fast while doing a few liver/gall bladder flushes and the results were EXACTLY as described. What's great about it is that it does not give you the feeling of having diarrhea. It feels like everything is working properly but the difference is that the plaque is now liquefied. I plan on buying more. You've done a great job with this product.
After ten days of colon cleansing, while eating a normal healthy diet (fruits, veggies, grains, fish and raw dairy), I feel 10 years younger energy-wise, my eyes are bright, whiter, and no longer sunken. Transient aches and pains I've had are gone. Headaches, gone. My appetite has increased and, best of all, I have greater patience with my children and am sleeping better.
While attending the ABEIM convention in Dallas, I purchased a bottle of Oxy-Powder® and got several brochures. I really like the action of the cleanser and would like to start several of my patients on it.
I ordered Oxy-Powder® awhile back and just started using it. It is amazing. I've been dealing with constipation, bloating, and just generally feeling yucky for years. I have taken laxatives before that left me doubled over in pain and unable to go anywhere. Oxy-Powder® was the exact opposite: easy, painless, and quick. I really feel cleansed, and I have had no cramping or discomfort. I wasn't running to the bathroom constantly; the results were very predictable and left me feeling great for the rest of the day. It's amazing how energized you feel when all the junk has been flushed out of your system. Thank you for a great product.

Niagara Falls getting $10 million from New York
The money Niagara Falls is getting from the state will be used on projects near and around the Niagara Falls State Park expansion.
Author: Jeff Preval
NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. — A number of new community projects are on their way to Niagara Falls.
The announcement was made by Governor Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday that the city has been awarded $10 million in state funding.
Two years from now, the lower portion of the Niagara Scenic Parkway by the State Park should be long gone, making way for more parkland.
The $10 million Niagara Falls is getting from the state will be used on projects near and around this expansion.
"We believe that area is of greatest need for the city, but we also believe that because of the public realm investments that've already been made, most notably the train station and the parkway removal, we felt like the market was finally going to find this place," Niagara Falls mayor Paul Dyster said.
Over the next year or so, local officials will decide exactly how the money will be spent.
For now, there are some ideas that Mayor Paul Dyster's administration has submitted to the state.
They include more public art, like you already see on Old Falls Street, renovations to the Rapids Theater on Main Street, and new sidewalks and benches. But again these are just proposals.
"This committee will go in and take those projects under advisement. They'll reach out to local stakeholders, and hold those meetings, and take advisement of what the local community wants to see," said Anthony Vilardo, the president of USA Niagara Development Corporation. "Where a lot of the investments previously were made in the tourist area, this is going to really connect the city back to its waterfront."
Other ideas the Dyster administration has submitted to the state include creating a home improvement program and a fund that would preserve historic buildings.
We should know sometime next year exactly where this money will go.
Separately, since Cuomo was in Niagara Falls on Wednesday, 2 On Your Side wanted to ask him about a couple of very important issues, involving the state.
One of them is that awful stretch of the 90 that runs through Seneca Nation territory that is in serious need of repair.
Lieutenant Governor Kathy Hochul said a couple of weeks ago that the state was in the process of working out an agreement with the Senecas to get access to that land to finally fix it.
We wanted to know from the governor about where that agreement stands.
We still don't know.
Another issue, Canadian drivers without E-ZPass have not been paying the Grand Island bridge tolls, that's because the Thruway Authority hasn't reached an agreement with Canadian provinces on driver information.
2 On Your Side requested an interview with the governor about this Wednesday.
But we were told he would not take questions and had to get to an event in another part of the state.
2 On Your Side will stay on top of these very important issues, and hopefully, we can get these answers soon.

Q: Smooth curve with 1 or more control points? (Monotone interpolation) First of, i am really sorry if i poorly described my question, i am no mathematician but i need to figure this out for my project, and i am having hard time finding the formula.
I work with numbers from 1-10
Where 1 is 1, 5 is 5 and 10 is 10 - Linear (as expected)
But i need to make my set of numbers like this
1 is 1, 5 is 2.5 and 10 is 10 - This would be a smooth curve like in my image bellow:
My Image - Smooth curve
The red line represents thew result where the black dotted line is the linear 1-10. B is the point that i want to be able to control
Alternatively, i might also need to be able more control points later on in addition to "B".
(I need to be able to write this in a function where it would calculate the new value for any given number based on the control point B, e.g. i plug 5 i get 2.5)
Thank you so much
edit: The curve between 1 - 10 must stay positive and be smooth (without bumps)
edit2: @Rahul suggested Monotone cubic interpolation, i think that's what i am after
The thing is i need to use this in my program i am writing, and i have no clue how.
I've found a video where it's used in excel (but the algorithm isn't provided). How could i use that as the guy inputs numbers and gets interpolation? (algorithm /formula)?


A Christian cleric who was infected with the dreaded Ebola virus in Congo has survived with his followers thrown into hysteria.
Father Lucien Ambunga, Catholic Priest and Pastor for the remote rural community of Itipo of DR Congo, returned to his parish on 8 June, after recovering from Ebola.
Last month, after he got infected while praying for an Ebola patient, he was taken to the town of Bikoro where there is an Ebola treatment centre. His bishop also visited to pray for him.

Many prescription and traditional medications don't work for patients with mental and psychological illnesses, like autism and severe seizure disorders.
This is why many parents are turning to alternative treatments like ormus. Ormus and autism has been linked a number of times, not only in recent times but in ancient times as well.
Ormus is considered as one of the higher metals. It is made of various elements, including gold, which is believed to be used in ancient times to heighten awareness and increase intuition and perception.
Like ormus and autism, the effects of gold and other platinum metal to the endocrine system have been a controversial topic.
It is a well-known fact that gold salts have anti-inflammatory properties and it also help clear up extreme nervousness and excitability, which are two of the symptoms seen in patients diagnosed with autism.
There may be no scientific evidence to prove that ormus and autism are scientifically linked together, but testimonials from believers attested to the benefits of gold salts to psychologically ill and unstable children.


John Hanlon on the Athletic Edge squat macine at WST.
Isolation exercises are not "bad" to do and using a few of them can be a good ADDITION to your program. Don't get carried away with them, but a set of thick bar curls added to the program or leg curls AFTER SQUATS ARE DONE is ok.
I believe that the CORE foundation of your program should be the big basic compound exercises. That, however, does not mean that you should NEVER do ANY of the isolation exercises. As long as you are not looking for the easy way out and substituting the isolation exercises for the much harder multi joint lifts, using a few of them in addition to your program can be beneficial.

Q: Is the default font in Bevy unusable? When attempting to print "Hello, world!" to the screen with Bevy, the text would not display until I imported a third-party font file and loaded it as an asset to use as the font value in the TextStyle value of the Text component. Prior to using that font, I had not explicitly specified the font; I just used the value from Default::default(), which is WeakHandle<Font>(Id(97059ac6-c9ba-4da9-95b6-bed82c3ce198, 0)). This seems to imply that Bevy is finding the wrong font or at least an unusable one by default. Is this more likely to be an issue with the font my system is offering up or with the Bevy default font functionality?
Here's a minimal reproducible example:
use bevy::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        .add_startup_system(setup)
        .run();
}

fn setup(mut commands: Commands, asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
    commands.spawn_bundle(UiCameraBundle::default());
    commands.spawn_bundle(TextBundle {
        text: Text::with_section(
            "Hello, world!",
            TextStyle {
                font_size: 60.0,
                color: Color::WHITE,
                font: asset_server.load("FiraSans-Bold.ttf")
            },
            Default::default()
        ),
        ..Default::default()
    });
}

That code works. When I change the font value from asset_server.load("FiraSans-Bold.ttf") to Default::default(), nothing displays on the screen.

A: Bevy does not offer a default font as of now.
There was this closed PR to add one and there are several open issues connected to this, like this or that one.
That said, I think it is confusing that it is possible to do:
TextStyle {
     font_size: 60.0,
     color: Color::WHITE,
     font: Default::default()
},

Health at Every Size
Body Respect
Radical Belonging
Lindo Bacon, PhD
formerly Linda
Dr. Bacon's Mission:
to promote social and economic justice and help generate a culture of belonging
to galvanize a body positivity movement which celebrates the influence of our multiple intersecting identities
to provide the critical thought, inspiring vision and practical strategies you need to celebrate and care for your own body
to help you develop your skills to educate, motivate, and inspire others, and to nurture a culture of belonging
Dr. Lindo Bacon is fostering a global transformation to a more just world, where all bodies are valued, respected, and supported in compassionate self-care. Best known for their paradigm-shifting research and advocacy upending the weight discourse, Bacon's inspiring message takes us beyond size, to shaping a culture of empathy, equity and true belonging. Dr. Bacon has mined their deep academic proficiency, wide-ranging clinical expertise and own personal experience to write two best-selling books, Health at Every Size: The Surprising Truth About Your Weight, and the co-authored Body Respect: What Conventional Health Books Get Wrong, Leave Out, or Just Plain Fail to Understand about Weight. Both are credited with transforming the weight discourse and inspiring a hopeful new course for the global body positivity movement. Bacon's next manifesto, Radical Belonging: How to Survive and Thrive in an Unjust World (While Transforming It for the Better), will be released by BenBella Books November 10, 2020.
Bacon earned their PhD in physiology from the University of California, Davis, where they currently serve as an Associate Nutritionist. They also hold graduate degrees in psychology and exercise metabolism. Dr. Bacon formerly taught at City College of San Francisco, in the Health Education, Psychology, Women's Studies, and Biology Departments. A professor and researcher, for almost two decades Dr. Bacon has taught courses in social justice, health, weight and nutrition; they have also conducted federally funded studies on health and weight and published in top scientific journals. Their research has been supported by grants from the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Institutes of Health. Bacon is industry-independent. Their pledge not to accept money from the weight loss, pharmaceutical or food industry, signed when getting a PhD almost two decades ago, supports them in speaking truth to power.
Well-respected for their provocative social and political commentary, Dr. Bacon's advocacy for body respect has generated a large following on social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, health and nutrition listservs and specialty blogs, and the international lecture circuit. They are committed to centralizing the ways in which power, privilege and disadvantage complicate our experience of our bodies. With a rare dual perspective combining academic expertise and clinical experience, Bacon is adept at providing a link between scientific research and practical application. This enables them to bring authority and compassion to their writing, speaking and teaching. Their personal difficulties with weight regulation and an eating disorder as well as experience in overcoming them provide important perspective and inspiration for their work. Dr. Bacon specializes in translating science into practical, actionable terms.
Health professionals – as well as people on their own personal journeys to body appreciation – call Lindo's work "life-changing" and "transformative." A compelling speaker, writer and storyteller, Dr. Bacon delivers a unique blend of academic expertise, clinical experience, and social justice advocacy, all couched in a raw honesty and compassion that touch and inspire.
Lindo? Linda? My Weight Story My Pronouns
Lindo, in the News For Journalists
I travel the world to build community and foster transformation through my interactive workshops and presentations. I write about injustice and revolution. I speak at conferences, schools, worksites, and anywhere in the world people want to learn about intersectional body positivity and generate a culture of belonging.
