Try latest commit. The office2007/2010/2013 and ntlmv2 OpenCL formats will now default to scalar mode on any device, including CPU. You can now add --request-vectorize to your command line and see if vectorizing triggers the bug, or if it gets faster or slower. Office actually gets a tad faster on some nvidias, I've never seen that before.
If/when I re-enable defaulting to vectorized on some devices, the new complementary option --request-scalar will do the opposite. These two new options currently only affect the four mentioned formats but I will probably support them from now on and I may add vectorizing to some other existing formats.

Those Valentine's Day recipes are looking delicious so far! Eric is going to have a very hard decision on his hands. I caught him drooling over the recipes this morning and he promptly told me that he might have to pick '10 or 30' recipes, instead of 2.
Yesterday, I had a wonderful speed run. As I mentioned in my Tempo run post, I love intervals.
I used to hate the idea of speed work because I thought it was one long, exhausting sprint the entire workout, but that just isn't true. Speed work is simply a succession of hard + easy intervals on the treadmill, road, or track, often run in 400 metre/0.25 mile intervals.
They are quick, productive, and are great for those days when you don't have a lot of time!
1) If you want to run at a fast pace, you need to train at a fast pace several days a week.
2) An interval workout usually consists of fast repeats separated by walking or jogging.
3) Run the 400s at about your pace for 5-K, or 10-K.
REPEAT 8 times for a total distance of 4 miles (37 mins). I paused for a water break in between each mile.
I really love the intervals because I get to 'rest' every 400 metres, so it really helps me push hard during my speed interval. I'm hoping the Tempo runs and Speed work will help offset the fact that I am training for this half marathon mostly indoors.
And after a tough workout, there is nothing more I love to do than to help my body 'recover'…wink, wink.
Light, fresh, and packed with protein and healthy fats, this tangy salad will have you dreaming of Spring and Summer.
1. Cook 1 cup Red Quinoa according to package directions.
2. While quinoa is cooking, prepare the chopped vegetables and whisk together the dressing.
3. Allow quinoa to cool after cooking for about 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Add the beans and vegetables and toss well.
4. Drizzle dressing over salad and toss well with salt and pepper to taste. Bring salad to room temperature before serving. Keep fresh in a sealed container for 1-2 days. Makes about 5 cups.
Note: I defrosted and drained frozen corn before adding it to the salad, but the result was rubbery corn. I would suggest using fresh corn only, if the season applies, otherwise I wouldn't bother with the frozen stuff.
Grab that beautiful cup of Red Quinoa and cook it according to package directions.
Red Quinoa is so much more fun than the regular kind!
Juice the limes to make 4-5 tablespoons.
Add all dressing ingredients into a bowl.
When the quinoa is cooked, add in the chopped vegetables and beans and stir well.
I just dumped everything into the cooking pot, but I supposed you could transfer it to a bowl if you wanted to!
Pour on the dressing and mix. Serve at room temperature.
This salad is irresistible! It is light, fresh, and has a wonderful tangy kick from the lime juice. It also makes a great lunch and has a lot of staying power thanks to the protein-rich black beans and quinoa and healthy fats from the avocado and olive oil.
Store in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Here's to a healthy weekend ahead!
It's time to have a productive Friday of work to kick off the weekend. Have a good one!
I was this close to making quinoa and black beans for dinner last night. Do you like red quinoa more than 'white'? Is there nutritional difference?
I love the way I can print the recepies. Thanks so much. I will be having this tomorrow after my long run outside in the snow! But truth be told I love that part of living in Niagara!!!! Be well.
Have a great run and enjoy the recipe!
I definitely prefer red quinoa – so yummy. I love the Trader Joe's brand!
This salad is right up my alley! Do you have the nutritional break-down for this recipe?? Thanks so much.
Uhh I hate intervals, I am more of an endureance runner :p. My boyfriend's in the army and always pushes me to do intervals with him, which have me near puking at the end. Fun times!
I cooked with red quinoa yesterday too! but I think I like the taste of the regular one better..
Wow, so delicious and beautiful!! I love red quinoa! I am loving fresh salads lately. I need more quinoa in my life. I was on a kick for a while then stopped. It's so delicious!
Awesome recipe. I have to admit I have not tried Red Quinoa. This is right up my alley though.
Uhh I hate intervals, I am more of an endurance runner :p. My boyfriend's in the army and always pushes me to do intervals with him, which have me near puking at the end. Fun times!
Oops sorry for the double post!
I do love avocado. It tastes really good on the Wheat Berry Salad too. I added a few pieces to mine for lunch yesterday and it really helped keep me full all afternoon.
I made this salad the other day – it is amazing! Loving all the leftovers….
I just made a good green quinoa salad last night but I love the dressing you used for this!
I loveeeee red quinoa! Its one of my favorite, and this looks so tasty! Loving the photos!
What a fab looking recipe….I just loving using quinoa! Even my meat & potatoes loving hubby loves quinoa – which is awesome because I feel like I'm sneaking in all this healthy goodness he doesn't even realize he's getting ;-) Can you substitute something for the cilantro? Neither of us really enjoy it, but I never know what to sub instead.
That looks so tasty! Any time lime and avocado are paired, I'm in.
These combined so many of my favorite flavors – I will definitely try it soon!
Great run! you are speeedy!
Is there a difference in taste between red quinoa and white quinoa?
Yum, this looks so good! I make something very similar all the time and I too love it after a tough workout! Good idea adding an avocado – I'm definitely going to try that!
I had a similar 10k pace so I used your tempo run as the base for my workout yesterday and wow it was great! I ended up picking up the pace again on and off for a few min at the end to finish up 6 miles in about 43 min. Knowing that I was only doing each interval for 5 min at a time really helped and made the treadmill so much more pleasant and the miles just seemed to fly by!
Love the use of lime in this!
I love quinoa salads! Your looks so good. I recently started running and can't wait to run longer distances!
This sounds so southwestern! I love the texture of quinoa and beans together…perfect!
I make a very similar salad and I agree, it's delicious! In fact, I really want some right now… And red quinoa is just so much prettier than the white kind. I'm going to have to give your version a try!
Your red quinoa salad looks AMAZING! I have been addicted to quinoa lately… but I have yet to try the red variety!
"Here's to a healthy weekend ahead!"<— Love it!!
1. I love red quinoa. LOVE it. And that salad looks awesome. I have made various versions of it before, but I bet the lime juice makes it totally kickin'. I usually use rice vinegar. Definitely going to put this on my menu again soon.
2. I used to LOVE tempo runs. I still love intervals. I couldn't believe how they helped me increase my running speed. Especially when I started adjusting my speed for distance (so my 400's were faster than my 800's, which were faster than my 1600's, etc.) Of course I'm injured now, so no running for me. I miss it. But I've been doing P90X, and it's a similar thing…small sets of exercises so you can push it hard then get a break.
GORGEOUS salad. I love how often you use mason jars!
I love salads like this! Perfect to make a big batch on Sunday and bring to work for the rest of the week!
I was thrilled to find I had all these ingredients in my house today. Lunch was amazing! This is like an upgrade to the Black Bean Avocado and Lime salad you posted earlier (which I am also addicted to when it comes down to easy lunches). Quinoa just has the most wonderful taste and textures (chewy and nutty and subtle, yum!) and the red Quinoa just looks so beautiful in any dish.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Malorie! Yes it does remind me of the Black bean + lime salad from a little while ago- just amped up like you said! I love the flavour combo…just delish!
MMM that salad looks phenomenal. Will be adding limes and cilantro to my grocery list!
This looks like such a good summer salad. I miss summerrr!
This recipe looks awesome, and I have almost all the ingredients on hand! I will be making this soon!
This salad sounds so yummy! I loooove red quinoa :).
WOW! Does this sound yummo!! I am making it this weekend!
It will be an "OH She Glows" week for me, (I make a weeks worth of breakfasts and lunches for work on Sundays because I leave the house so early during the week) and this is going to be great for Monday and Tuesday's lunches. Making your Banana Cranberry Oat Bars to eat on the way to the gym, Green Monsters for after the gym, and of course Overnight Oats for breakfst each morning!
Thanks for the great recipies and workout tips. I am loving your site.
that salad looks so good. very pleasing to the eye also. I just had my first taste of red quinoa this week so i look forward to eating this salad soon.
Wow this looks so beautiful! Foods that have so much color are so much more fun to eat!
You should do a post on sweet potato fries if you haven't yet! They are soooo delish.
Yummm — what a lovely dish!
that looks so fresh, healthy, and YUMMY!!
Beautiful salad! I love red quinoa!
I love your set up!
I've started doing speedwork lately too, and I enjoy the rests between them, and I push myself. The only problem I've been having is getting each interval at a similar speed.
I never even new that red quinoa existed until I read your post. I'm a huge fan of regular quinoa so I'm definitely going to give it a go. I tend to eat with my eyes and your salad looked so pretty!
The colors are just gorgeous, Angela! Your photos just pop off the screen! I love them!
I love the dressing, simple, flavorful. Well, the whole dish is that way :) It's one pot and not a lot of dishes, or too many steps. Gotta love that!
I've never had red quinoa but this looks spectacular. If I ever find some this will be the first dish I make with it.
I love the flavor of the Red quinoa! That's the type I'd usually buy. This recipe looks really healthy.
I am making this tonight! No question about it!
Wow this salad looks delicious! So colorful!
I REALLY wish I had some quinoa in the house!
Beautiful, as always. This was one of the first dishes I made after I went gluten free. I didn't use red quinoa though. I still never have, but it make the dish so much prettier!
This sounds so yummy, and makes me miss summer more than I already do! I just so happen to have some leftover black beans in my fridge, too. Perfect!
I make a very similar salad minus the Avocado.
Beautiful, Angela! I love the look of this salad. I've yet to try red quinoa, but based on how pretty it is I'd say it must be even better than regular.
One of these days I'll be able to make my photos look as pretty as yours. I remember seeing your "set" during PFB – do you just set your subject on your dining table in the natural light and snap away? They're so beautiful…it seems you must have some kind of trick up your sleeve;) Pure raw talent, maybe?
You are too kind! I have a table by the window that I use during the day and then a lightbox we built that I use a bit here and there (I'll be doing a post on that in a bit). I also shoot only in RAW format and I use Lightroom to edit raw photos.
This recipe sounds terrific! I just tried quinoa for the first time on Sunday and I love it! However, you're just a few days short on the black beans. I cooked a whole bag of the dried black beans in my crock pot. They turned out great, but they're all gone now :-( Not to worry…it's so easy to do, I'll be making them again soon and I'm going to try this. Thanks for the great idea!
I absolutely love the combination of quinoa, cilantro, avocado and lime. I was able to find these ingredients when I lived in France last summer and it made me think I was having a mexican fiesta!
just made this. but unfortunately my little small town grocery store does NOT carry any type of quinoa. so i subbed brown rice. it's delicioso! :) but i can't wait to try quinoa.
Glad to know it works with rice!
I cannot find quinoa in my local grocery store and there are no health food stores nearby…I'm going to have to order some online because this recipe looks amazing!
I love ALL colors of quinoa!! Great recipe, thanks!!!
Speed Intervals are my favorite, especially on the treadmill. They're not as boring and they make the time go faster, plus I always feel like I kicked my own booty afterwards and I LOVE it!
I love intervals too, great job! Makes the run go by so much faster and it's not nearly as boring as running at one speed!
Thank you! I am so needing more dinners like this!
I love Eden Organic's products!! Have you ever tried their beans? SO GOOD!
Yummmmm! I am making this for lunch tommorrow or possibly breakfast!
This looks lovely. I really like quinoa, but I rarely make it because I haven't figured out a way to rinse it while it is still dry without getting at least 50% of the quinoa stuck to the mesh of whatever I am using to strain it. Am I the only one who finds this troublesome?
I love how colorful this is! It looks gorgeous!
I do a similar salad…a solution to frozen corn when fresh is not in season…roast defrosted frozen corn in the over with a bit of olive oil.
I don't know how you can enjoy interval sprints…I HATE them! As in…cuss up a storm in my mind while I'm tying to get through them!
This looks really yummy. I love red quinoa because it gives any dish a nice color. So cute that you stored it in a jar.
Thank you so much for this recipe! I had to work today and needed something quick & easy to make last night for my lunch..I have a gluten & tomato allergy so this was absolutely perfect!
I have to agree with you though red quinoa is more fun!
Wow that looks amazing!!! I love mixing quinoa with black beans or with chickpeas. Tastes fantastic!
Red Quinoa is so much better than white, but I have a hard time finding it. I always love your recipes.
I'm always down for a recipe that includes black beans!
This may be my new favorite recipe. Thanks for sharing!
This is great! I bought some red quinoa at Earth Fare, not knowing what I was going to do with it.
This dish was delicious! I decided to saute the vegetables in a little of garlic & EVOO, and added in some produce I had left in the fridge, including asparagus, snow peas and 1/4 of an onion. This was a fantastic success! My boyfriend had about 3 servings and couldn't get enough of it. Thanks for helping me solve the ever-so-frustrating dilemma of 'What's for dinner?" it was a delight!
Hope to make it soon!
Awesome Recipe Angela!! Thanks so much for sharing – your a great chef!
I made this on Saturday… Amazing!!! I subbed the corn for edamame and when 1 of my limes wouldn't juice AT ALL I added half of a lemon. I can't wait to eat this for lunch this week!!!
edamame is a GREAT idea!!!
I just made this salad. I grabbed black peppercorn instead for black pepper at Trader Joes, oops! Mine came out a little dry. My can of black beans is 15 oz vs 14 oz, wonder if that is why? I do like the salad. Can't wait to eat some more for lunch tomorrow.
I finally found a quinoa recipe I love! This was awesome, thank you!
I made this tonight and it was absolutely phenomenal! My husband hated quinoa…until he tried this! Thank you!
Just made this – so delicious!! Thanks for the recipe.
This is absolutely delicious. I didn't even have the cilantro and avocado to include and it was still a hit. I can't wait to make it again with all the ingredients. Thank you for this great recipe. Keep doing what you're doing!
Im happy you enjoyed it Colleen!
Would you be able to substitute pureed navy bean instead of all of the olive oil like you did with the basil pesto sauce for your red quinoa and black bean salad?
This was DELICIOUS! I gave some to friends and they loved it as well! Thanks for the recipe. I loved the red quinoa, and was also wondering if it would be as good with regular quinoa?
I made this today for lunch, the only substitution being white quinoa for red, and it was absolutely delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
SO delicious! I have made a similar flavored "dip" or "salsa" without the quinoa during summer months, but this dish was really delicious and satisfying. I made it without corn because it's fall right now, but it was still great! The avocado gives a really good balance and satisfies that craving for the creaminess of dairy (I've only been eating vegan for about a week…). Made half the recipe because I didn't want to waste if I didn't like it, but next time I'll make the whole thing.
So healthy, so filling and really delicious. The fresh corn made this salad.
Made this for dinner tonight for my husband and I. Had to use regular quinoa .. couldn't find the red, and because of my last minute shopping, I didn't have a ripe avocado, so I had to skip that. It was still delicious. Really enjoying your recipes. Thanks!!
so glad I found this site! Thank you for all the lovely recipes!!
Hi Angela, I have just made this and it's great. Thanks for this! I added chickpeas instead of black beans.
This is my second time making this salad. It's great. I used parsley instead of corriander and it was still good.
Love! Delicious, filling, and pretty.
No leftover! This is a clear success!
We are excited to try this as well as the vegan caesar recipe as part of our student and alumni social at the end of January at the Natural Epicurean Academy of Culinary Arts. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great post. I'm experiencing a few of these issues as well..
Funny this recipe is printed verbatim on the back of the Earthly Choice package of red quinoa.
Made this for dinner and it's so yummy and colorful!!! I'm so excited for leftovers!
Oh my word! I have been on a vegan only kick and this recipe made me so happy. Irresistible for sure! Thank you so much for sharing. The thing I miss on a vegan diet is staying power and texture and this quinoa salad had both. Really, a home run. I will definitely make this one again and again. Cheers!
Just made this – it's so good! I was short on cilantro so just added more garlic, green onions, and lime to make up for flavor. Thanks for the great recipe!!
What are the nutrition facts for this salad?
Hi Joan, Unfortunately I haven't calculated that info myself, but if you head over to an online tool like caloriecount.com or nutritiondata.com and plug in the recipe, you should be able to find out the nutrition facts pretty quickly. Hope this helps!
What an exceptional, gorgeous salad! DH is ambivalent when it comes to quinoa, so it's always a little dicey auditioning a new recipe. I had to omit both the cumin and cilantro because he's allergic, but added in additional scallions and a pinch of Creole seasoning to boost the flavour. Served with some roasted potatoes on the side, this was a huge hit! I had to promise to add it to the rotation. Thanks so much for posting the recipe!
That extra seasoning sounds like a great twist! So glad the recipe was a hit, Sian.
I omitted the avocado and after tossing with the delicious sauce I top it off with cubed baked yams. I serve it at room temperature.
I've been making this recipe regularly for over five years; I finally figured it was time to say thank you! Thank you for nourishing your readers and sharing your life with us!
Hey Hannah, I'm so honoured that this recipe has been a regular for you for years now! That's pretty awesome. I'm really happy that you love it so much. I haven't made it in ages (Eric always complains that I never make my old recipes because I'm always making new things to share, lol), but I really should soon.
This is a great recipe! My in-laws made something like this before and put some chicken in it as well. We loved it!


This is now the 7th week we have walked through the doors at Peter Mac for Radiation. I think I speak for both Pippa and I when I say it has not been as frightening nor as bad an experience as either of us had anticipated. Pippa's amazing ability to handle anything she faces with a positive and happy attitude combined with the doctors' careful planning have meant that aside from being uncomfortable from the weight gain due to the steroids and some tiredness, she has charged through. And I do mean charged – quite often the radiotherapists do not keep us as she runs down the tunnel to the treatment room!
What better way to mark our final week than including James and Patrick for one last visit? They joined in on the French lesson where they played a game of French Bingo and James realised that his sister probably knows more French than him and poor Patrick was doing his hardest to try and pronounce the numbers. We went for a wander through Captain Cook's Cottage and the Conservatory in the Fitzroy Gardens. Pippa decided that the house was small and she thought it would be hard to live in.
The next time we see James and Patrick Pippa will be finished with radiation forever. Fingers crossed that while she's been coping so brilliantly on the outside the treatment has started to kill that rotten lump on the inside.
Sebe wanted to tell Pippa that she has a great cricketing style and to keep on hitting sixes (re the previous post).
What a amazing job you have done, to ensure that the process was filled with joy at every possible stage. Such a wonderful relief to be done with treatment and return to your normal life.
Pippa is a lucky girl to have you Virginia, as her mum.
We have been following your journey. We send you our love and positive energy.

Jura has both grey seals and the smaller, dog nosed harbour seal. If it's otters you're after, the best times are early morning and evening as this is when they are most active. With an otter for every 4 miles of coastline you stand a good chance of coming across one!
Lowlandman's Bay, just a short cycle from Craighouse, offers the chance to see some rare waders and waterfowl including common and purple sandpipers. With the beautiful backdrop of the Paps, which is stunning in itself, it's easy to be distracted from the amazing wildlife they hold. Out on the hills is the best place to catch sight of one of the many birds of prey found here; from peregrines and hen harriers to the gigantic sea and golden eagles but sightings are also far from rare in the Bay.
Click on the animal's names above to get their stories courtesy of Scottish Natural Heritage who have more information about these and other species on their website.
You won't need to wait to reach Jura to start spotting widllife. We regularly see dolphins and porpoises from the boat and sometimes they even ride along with us.
Abundant bird life is always around, sometimes including sea eagles, buzzards and golden eagles. There's always a variety of divers and ducks to see.

Take a gentle stroll or a challenging climb – Jura has walks suitable for every fitness level, whether you have a few minutes or a few days to spare. Maybe you want to admire the stunning views from atop one of the Paps, enjoy a gentle stroll along the beach, or something in between.

Even before she came to Belton, Minty Cane had known that she was a witch, or something very like it. She had known since she was tiny, for instance, about the pocket of cold air on the landing of the back stairs. (Though she could not have known that a man hanged himself there.) She knew too, that she shared her bedroom. She had woken at night to see shadowy presences gliding across the floor. She had never spoken to them, merely watched, sensing that they were on some silent business of their own.
Minty has been sent to stay with her aunt for the summer holidays as her recently widowed mother had to work. Her aunt lives across the road from a former manor house which is now open to the public. Whilst staying there, Minty becomes aware of some strange stories about the gardens and the house and sets out to investigate. Whilst walking the grounds, Minty comes across the moondial and finds it has a unusual power. The gate keeper thinks that Minty and the moondial are connected and that Minty holds the key to the mysteries of the manor house. Minty sets out on a mission to help the haunted children and solve the mystery of the moondial.
This book is definitely one of my guilty pleasures and upon reading it, I am instantly transported back to my last year at secondary school, into my old childhood bedroom in the house where I still lived with my parents. Ah those were they days, no responsibilities, no mortgage, no one to please but myself. When I am tired and in need of a comfort read, then this is one of the those books I reach for. During the 80's, this first came to my attention through the television series of the same name. A lot of children's books used to be made into series around that time and I fell in love with that, long before I found the book. The book was only discovered by chance in the last few years and has been a well read one since. I do feel that this series was the one that had me longing for Victorian Gothic ghost stories.
This book is a lovely haunting read, that has you travelling across time to the Victorian era. Minty is a strong leading character and doesn't appear to be afraid of anything. The story has you hooked from page one and you will find it difficult to put down. It is quite a slim book, but packed with action and easily readable within a day. If you ever saw the television series as a child, then reading this book will be like a wonderful journey down memory lane.
Helen Cresswell was one of our most cherished children's writers of the 80's. She was responsible for bringing us the joys of Lizzie Dripping and The Bagthorpe saga. She also was responsible for the adaptations of books to series for television, such as Five Children and It, The Famous Five and The Demon Headmaster. If you ever watched these series, then you might find you already have an interest in Helen Cresswell's work.
How interesting - I read her books asa child but didn't know she'd done those TV adaptions!
I knew I knew this author's name - Lizzy Dripping, ah such happy memories.
Every once it awhile it's just wonderful to go back to those childhood reads!
I've never heard of this until now. I'm interested in anything that has connection with The Famous Five!
I haven't heard of the series or this book, but I love books that bring back memories like that for me.
Minty sounds like a wonderful character. Lovely review, Vivienne.
I had never heard of this and it sounds very good. That book cover is very '80's' looking.
Not familiar with this book or author, so it is always nice when someone like you can teach us something new about books --thanks you sounds good.
Love the sound of this. Don't think I saw the series but definitely know The Demon Headmaster and Five Children and It :)Will have to look out for this one.
I love ghost stories! :D One of my favourites from childhood (that I still reread) is the Green Knowe series. *sigh* I might give this a try to see if I connect with it even as a grown-up.
Oh, my, I missed this one, too! I'm a touch sad that I missed out on this book during my younger years.

2019 BET Awards: Nipsey Hussle Honored With Posthumous Humanitarian Award and Star-Studded Performance

Nipsey Hussle may be gone but he will never, ever be forgotten.
Though the rapper, born Ermias Asghedom, was shot and killed in late March outside his South L.A. clothing store, the 33-year-old left an immeasurable imprint on the community. And on Sunday, during the 2019 BET Awards, the musician was honored for his work with the Humanitarian Award.
T.I. began the tribute with a speech praising his late friend. "There will never be another Nipsey Hussle," he began. "He was a revolutionary. His emphasis on the power of equity and ownership of our art led the charge of independence and created a blueprint for other kind of artists today to follow…He inspired people across the world while never abandoning the community and culture that raised him. it's been nearly three months since we lost Nip and many are still discovering how legendary he really was."
"He was a real one, a true king simply concerned with promoting human welfare, uplifting those around him," continued the artist. "As a prolific artist his lyrics and interviews are immensely powerful but his actions spoke even louder. Nip proved that your life is your canvas and your body of work is your legacy."
Nipsey's family, including his girlfriend Lauren London and mom Angelique Smith, accepted the award in his honor.
"I was so amazed at how much love was out in the world for him that you uplifted me," his grandmother Margaret Boutte said. "Thank you so much world for loving him."
In celebration of Nipsey's life, performances from Marsha Ambrosius, DJ Khaled, YG and John Legend followed.
Before the live show, Connie Orlando, Executive Vice-President and Head of Programming at BET, remembered the late artist and his impact.
"As a prolific artist and leader, Nipsey Hussle was zealous about driving change for the betterment of his community, empowering and employing those in need and being an influential and highly respected leader," Orlando said in a statement. "His passing was a tremendous loss to the entertainment industry and to the culture. We will continue to remember his advocacy and be inspired by the groundwork he set forth and his dire commitment to social change."
"We are forever grateful, humbled and honored to have experienced his presence and we are invested in doing our part to ensure that the marathon will indeed continue," the statement concluded. "It is an immense honor for us to recognize him with this year's Humanitarian Award."

The old Hungarian flavors should not be lost and forgotten, because they belong to the nation's tradition.
The event is under the patronage of Dr. Gábor Tamás Nagy, the Mayor of Budapest's 1st District.
April, 7 till 9. 2012.
Entry ticket can be purchased throughout Budapest at the ticket offices and of course on the spot.
In the morning hours of to-day, a but of a windy weather went to join the press announcement given by the organisers Ms. Katalin Beke, Program Director from the Festum Salon Ltd., Mr. Attila Pál Nagy, Co-organiser, and Director at the Nagy Fa-Tál gastronomic Ltd., Mr. Zoltán Zugmann, Host of the Festival, Mr.László Benke (Papa Laci) Olympic champion, master chef, master confectioner, Ms. Ági Szaloki, folk singer and Ms. Éva Szathmáry, the event's contact person, to hear about the coming Cultural and Gastronomic Parade. The gathering took place in a separate room at the Rivalda Restaurant, located in the 1st.District , 5-9 Színház Str. on the path that leads to the Royal Palace. The announcement was to spread the news to the forthcoming event titled: "The Heritage of Centuries" connected to the traditions of the Easter Holidays in Hungary.
So we were told the followings:During the 7th of April, till the 9th. 2012 the inside the area of the Buda Castle, at the Royal Place will be a worthwhile place to be visited by the locals, foreigners, temporary staying in the Capital and tourists spending their Easter time here in Budapest, not just only having a day-of-fun, but to get an insight how the Hungarians keep awake their traditions.
The opening words from Mr. Zoltán Zugmann, Host of the Festival were: Easter is the second most important religious holiday in Hungary.The roots go back to the ancient times and preserving traditions is equal as to keep the traditions. The organizers emphasised to arrange this festival not just as an ordinary "fine-day-out" gathering, but also bringing alive the traditions connected to the religion holiday.
We were told, that throughout the 3 days there will be ongoing live music. Renowned contemporary Hungarian music, folk music and dance, concerts entertaining music and plays for kids and for the young adults of to-day's popular groups like the Besh-O-Drom, Ms. Márta Sebestyén, The Misztrál, Ms. Agi Szaloki, Mr. György Ferenczy and The Rackajam and like to say a word about another performer Ms. Ági Herzku, a young folk singer, who I had the pleasure to see, hear last year at the Margaret Island in the "Ecser Wedding Dance and Dreamtime"production. and many more will step on stage and ensure your unforgettable time spending in Budapest.
Recently published editor of cook-book, Ms. Barbara Hegyi, actress will be together at the event as a guest with Papa Laci.
Just to mention a couple more features told by Mr. Zugmann: "Be prepaired to see a colourful show in the coming four days with also participating with their local Gourmand and craft work of our neighbouring fellows: the Carpathian Basin, Felvidék, a part of Southern Slovakia, also a show as to "Meet the Primates" and Székely land.
Chef Mr. László Benke, "Papa Laci" welcomed the gathered representatives by quoting Mr. Kálmán Mikszáth, a great Hungarian one said: "The people of a nation who do not cherish their past … does not deserve its future! "After this quotation he went back to the earlier times, by saying: "AD 313 was the first celebration of Easter and it is true it took four days. Pope Pius X stopped this 4 days celebration in the 19th century by saying: "One day will do for the celebration and that's it!" "Ahhh, but we are Hungarians" said Papa Laci: "one day!?! We sure like to eat and drink, but only for a day!?! By-the-way, you cannot see this to appear on us! Just look at me for example, I don't have any problem with my weight, the only problem I have is with my height!" Seeing him, said it all and the gathered group all had a touchy smile on their face.
I'm not on my own, many of the Hungarians have great love for the rich in flavor soups. They can eat it with a spoon or have it as a glass of drink. So after having the sample of the mouth-watering delights, anyone can have the a glass of drink, so-called: beer, pálinka, and you bet, the very best of Hungarian wines. Naturally, thinking about the thirsty kids, soft drinks will be also available.
At the end of the press announcement Ms. Ági Szaloki sang a sweet old folk song. Thenafter, Papa Laci invited the press participants to a reception, a table filled with his delicious yummies.
Tradition is not a prisoner to have to be retained, however, try to relive and have the experiences of the tradition.
Hopefully, this event will be kept as a traditional festival in the years to come.

Trump Creates 'Space Force' to Ensure U.S. Extra-terrestrial Dominance
Trump announced the creation of a sixth military branch, saying that 'our destiny beyond the earth is not only a matter of national identity but a matter of national security'

U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing new frontiers, announcing Monday that his government will create a "Space Force" as the sixth branch of the United States military on Monday.
"It is not enough to merely have an American presence in space, we must have American dominance in space," Trump said as he ordered the Department of Defense to establish the branch.
"We are going to have the Air Force, and we are going to have the Space Force. Separate but equal," Trump said at a meeting of the National Space Council.
Currently, many of the military's space-related projects fall under the Air Force.
Trump proclaimed that "our destiny beyond the earth is not only a matter of national identity but a matter of national security". From what galaxy the threat is coming from is yet to be confirmed.
Trump tweets his supporters are 'smartest' in history - while making a typo
Israel's shot at sending unmanned spacecraft to the moon may finally be doomed
Hold the bubbly: The only signs of life found on Mars are rover tracks
In his announcement Monday, Trump said his administration is intent on sending U.S. astronauts to the moon again. In December, he signed an order to this effect, also seeking a human mission to Mars.
Trump's announcement immediately gained status as Twitter's leading trend, with the hashtag #SpaceForce used to comment on the President's star-spangled announcement.
Trump also said he will sign a directive to set up a framework for "space traffic management" to deal with congestion in the Earth's orbit, arguing current regulations are "out of date."
The White House has noted that the commercialization of space is demanding new measures while "space becomes increasingly contested," in order to ensure that the U.S. Department of Defense be able to secure Washington's interests.


Surrey Place Centre's and principal investigators Kelly Bryce and Johanna Lake conducted several workshops that employed a mixed-methods design to assess the impact of a mother-led ACT group intervention on the health and wellbeing of mothers of children with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The duo collaborated with Dr. Yona Lunsky (Centre for Addiction and Mental Health), Dr. Kenneth Fung (Toronto Western Hospital) and Lee Steel (Extend-A-Family).
The research team were recipients of the Women's Xchange $15K Challenge, an initiative that awards $15,000 or more to various organizations who can help advance the health of women and girls.

App Development Agency's Implementation of Sencha
"One thing that sticks out is the overall platform structure of Sencha. It's very easy to learn. Our newest developers can learn the Sencha structure easily. One other feature we like is the architecture of the app builder, because we are able to prototype the interface faster, and the app builder is an easy tool to use."

Bix Labs primarily focuses on cross-platform application development and is always in search of the best tools to speed up the development process. Bix Labs uses Sencha as one of their primary development tools alongside Ionic and Parse. Bix Labs recommends Sencha as a tool that is easy to learn for new developers, but cites that it can become a complicated tool to implement if project requirements become complex.
Technical Lead, Bix Labs
Alfredo Levy
Can you please provide a brief description of your company and the role that you play there?
We are a small team of developers from Latin America with a team of 16 people. We make up Bix Labs. We focus primarily on providing mobile application development to startups. Most of our development is done using hybrid technologies like Sencha, Parse, and Ionic. We also do software development and some native development.
One of the challenges that we have had has been a time constraint. We had a project requirement where we needed to develop the user experience interface very fast. We needed to develop fast, but good as well. The user interface needed to be very responsive and compatible to run on multiple devices.
We use Sencha alongside other development platforms to develop applications across multiple platforms quickly.
Was your company considering other platforms?
We are very familiar with and really like web technologies. This is one of the main reasons we use Sencha. We lobe to work with JavaScript, HTML and CSS [cascading style sheets], which adds to Sencha being a good fit for our needs. Sencha is a much easier technology to learn than some of the other development platforms. We tried other tools that didn't work as well. We tried Kendo UI from Telerik and jQuery Mobile. After trying those other platforms, we preferred Sencha.
One thing that sticks out is the overall platform structure of Sencha. It's very easy to learn. Our newest developers can learn the Sencha structure easily. For the time that it takes to develop an application, Sencha's performance of Sencha is great. One other feature we like is the architecture of the app builder, because we are able to prototype the interface faster, and the app builder is an easy tool to use.
When you have to go beyond some of the basic components that Sencha provides, development can become a bit difficult. At that point, it becomes tricky to learn how to extend it in the right way.
Have you had to interact with the platform's support team or reference their support resources?
We used the community support.
Four because the tool does work.
Three and a half. If you are using the built-in elements, it's very easy to use, but the more complex elements are a bit more difficult to use. At the beginning, it's very easy. When you want to do more complex, things get more difficult.
Five. It is a very responsive community. You usually get a very quick reply to your question. When trying to do more complex things, the documentation becomes less complete.
Five. We usually do recommend Sencha, but it always depends on the requirements of that project. If the requirements match, then I would say five.

Rennes v Arsenal: French side to flourish in fervent atmosphere
By Adam Goodwin on	 Feb 6, 2019 Europa League Tips, European Football, Premier League Tips
THE EUROPA LEAGUE Last 16 gets underway on Thursday night as Arsenal travel to Rennes. Adam Goodwin (@AdamGoodwin__) shares his betting thoughts.
Rennes v Arsenal | Thursday 7th March 2019, 17:55 | BT Sport
This is the first time Rennes have ever reached this stage of a European competition and ticket demand for the game could have seen the 30,000 capacity Roazhon Park sold out four times over. Arsenal will have to handle what will be an electric atmosphere in northwest France, with excitement palpable ahead of this tie.
Les Rouges et Noirs tend to like playing at home anyway, with the French side currently sustaining a 12 match unbeaten run (W8-D4)-L0 in front of their supporters. They score an average of two goals a game in that period and they'll fancy bagging against a far from convincing Arsenal defence here.
Two players that will undoubtedly be up for this game are Ismali Sarr and Hatem Ben Arfa. Sarr was linked with the Gunners at the start of the season and in January, and he'll be keen to show them what they're missing out on. Ben Arfa had falling out with Emery after being frozen out by his then gaffer when the pair were at PSG, and the French forward will be keen to stick it to his former boss here.
Rennes also have M'Baye Niang amongst their ranks who I was impressed with at the World Cup, so they definitely have the ability to hurt Arsenal.
Arsenal vulnerable favourites
Arsenal looked like they might secure all three points in the North London derby on Saturday, but Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang couldn't convert a 90th minute penalty and it ended all square. Despite their good performance at the weekend, I'm not convinced by the Gunners' away form.
The only games they've won away from the Emirates were against Huddersfield, Blackpool and Vorskla in the Europa League. They've lost to BATE, West Ham and Southampton away from home in that time and I just don't think they travel particularly well.
The Gunners did secure a narrow win over a decent Sporting Lisbon side in this competition in October but that was during their mammoth unbeaten run. I think they'll have a tricky game on their hands here.
I would've fancied Alexandre Lacazette to score after frequently playing against Rennes in Ligue 1 for Lyon, but the Frenchman is denied a homecoming as he continues to serve his ban in Europe. Aubameyang will be starting up-front and might not be full of confidence after his late penalty miss last time out.
The betting angle
I want to get Rennes onside here because, as well as being a decent side, the atmosphere that'll be generated at Roazhon Park could be enough to get them over the line.
You can back the home side to score 2+ goals at 2/1 with Coral which is a price I like a lot, with it landing in four of their last five home games. Arsenal's defence still doesn't convince me and they could struggle to contain a front three containing the likes of Sarr, Ben Arfa and Niang.
Rennes v Arsenal – Rennes to score 2+ goals (2/1 Coral)
Adam Goodwin
I got into betting through my love of sport and started as soon as I turned 18. Football is the main sport I bet on and I like to try out new and obscure markets to try and find value. You can't beat a 8-fold accumulator on a Saturday though! I support Reading and try to get to as many games as possible when I'm back home from university.


Jonathan Nelson talked to guest-host Maurette Brown-Clark about who he is and his amazing latest project, " ". He talks about being a preacher's kid and a worship leader.

What do you imagine under the term leisure time?
Which talent did you develop from her childhood?
In my childhood I was reciteing, playing theatre, taking part in different competitions and never planning to work in education.
What an ideal day mean for you?
The day which I can spend with my children.
Which hobby do you consider dangerous, creative and helpful?
I don´t like handmaking like knitting. As I have mentioned like working in the garden, something effective.
Did you try any adrenalin sport?
Yes, I tried a banana on the sea. It was fine. I´m not scared of height or flight. I´d like to try paragliding.
Are you interested in fashion or do you follow fashion blogs?
I don´t follow fashion blogs. These are my daughters who show and tell me about fashion news. In any case I keep inspiration from magazines and TV programm "fashion TV". At home I have got magazines like EMMA, MADAM, EVA.
Have you got any pet which spend you your lesuire time with?
No, I haven't currently. Once I had a rabbitby name Zuza. It died and was already 12 years old. When I am being retired, I will buy a dog,. I would like to have a big dog, which I will walk to forest with. But first, I must move into a family house.
Yes i do. Mostly flour meals. That is what my family likes. I don't do it everyday but on weekends. I like when my family says the food is good and they enjoy it.
I like the north countries. I always go somewhere south and this is something i dreamed of for a long time. The nature must be wonderful. I'd take Miss Blasbalgová with me. Sometimes we just sit down and dream of Norway.
Three things you would take to an abandoned island?
Well that is really hard. But I think some person. I think my kids. Maybe some book so i have something to do. And a gun so i can protect myself.


"In Zimbabwe, Mr. Mugabe is not part of the solution to the political problem; he himself, is the problem," Odinga told a joint press conference with the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, Bernard Kouchner.
"The faster the international community acts to convince him to relinquish power, the better it will be for the Zimbabwean people who have already suffered a lot.
"Moreover it's high time these political compromises were stopped that, in our countries, allow losers to remain in power," Odinga said, undoubtedly hinting at the political situation in his own country, where he had claimed victory in the presidential election of December 2007 before accepting a compromise to share power with President Mwai Kibaki.
In Zimbabwe, a similar agreement was implemented in setting up a broad coalition government, with the opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai, as Prime Minister and Robert Mugabe keeping his seat as President, whereas each of them claimed victory in the March 2008 election, which sparked fears of a civil unrest in the country.
However, the political crisis cropped up again last Wednesday, after the vice minister of agriculture, Roy Benett, a close collaborator of the Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, was arrested.
Mugabe Tuesday in Harare chaired the weekly session of the council of ministers, in Tsvangirai's absence and that of ministers from the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), the opposition party that shares power with the ruling party as part of the agreement on power sharing.

Robots Don't Deserve Workers' Rights—Yet
The economic weather has been clearing. In the United States, unemployment stands at a little more than 4 percent; at long last, wages are growing faster than productivity. Investors expect the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates in order to fight the inflation that accompanies full employment. There are even labor shortages in key industries, such as manufacturing, construction, and trucking, according to the Fed. Workers feel new confidence. In December, 2.2 percent quit their jobs, the highest rate since 2001. All over the industrialized world, there is good news: Many workers now expect to keep their jobs or find better ones.
But the good news arrives at a moment of general anxiety about the future of work. Smart people fret that artificial intelligence and robots are rapidly eliminating jobs. According to one estimate published by BCG and the World Economic Forum last month, 1.4 million American jobs will be displaced by automation over the next eight years. Another recent report by PWC forecasts that up to 40 percent of jobs in the United Kingdom could disappear by 2030. According to McKinsey, half of all jobs around the globe could be displaced over the next 20 years. These experts may quarrel about the number of jobs at risk, but the general consensus is: a lot.
Jason Pontin (@jason_pontin) is an Ideas contributor for WIRED. He is a senior partner at Flagship Pioneering, a firm in Boston that creates, builds, and funds companies that solve problems in health, food, and sustainability. From 2004 to 2017 he was the editor in chief and publisher of MIT Technology Review. Before that he was the editor of Red Herring magazine, a business magazine that was popular during the dot-com boom.
The observers are also at odds about what these changes portend. What, actually, is happening? Technological revolutions always destroy jobs. But past revolutions created a net increase in new jobs. Are we are witnessing a slow-moving robopocalypse, in which modern automation is eliminating more jobs than it generates? Are we facing an epoch where there will be more people than occupations and wages will be permanently depressed—an idea John Maynard Keynes called "technological unemployment" in 1930?
There are strong economic reasons to answer no. If we were entering a period of technological unemployment, one would expect aggregate productivity to increase as jobs become harder to find. Yet productivity growth is anemic by historical standards—just 1.2 percent a year since 2007, compared to 3 percent during the long boom of America's post-war years (1947-1973)—even though unemployment is very low. The most rigorous study of this fraught and complex subject, "Robots and Jobs," shows that a total of 670,000 American jobs have been lost to automation since 1990. Each one of those job losses is likely a tragedy to the families and communities affected. But in the larger context, 670,000 layoffs are nothing: The vibrant US economy destroys 13 million jobs and creates another 16 million every year.
One can also think about this relationship between productivity and labor another way: True technological unemployment would reveal a widening gap between how much we're producing (the gross domestic product) and how many hours we're all working every year. Instead, the economic data show two lines moving in near perfect tandem, an indication that our economic growth is tied not to automation but to human labor.
Federal Reserve Economic Data
"I'll start to believe we've entered a period of technological unemployment when we can grow our economy without also adding more labor hours," says Andrew McAfee, co-director of the MIT Initiative on the Digital Economy, and co-author with Erik Brynjolfsson of The Second Machine Age (2014). "But we can't—at least, not yet."
Perhaps the best evidence against technological unemployment is an empirical observation: If we were confronting high productivity growth without a corresponding demand for more work, we'd know it, because we'd all be collectively much richer. There would be countless signs of abundance, such as falling consumer prices and swelling private savings, as well as a government surplus. We would then face a political choice: to live as we do now, where the benefits of the surplus would be enjoyed by a small number, or become free citizens in a republic of plenty. A just nation might decide to distribute its new riches equitably in the form of benefits like free health care and college education. We might even consider a universal basic income. Giving every American $20,000 a year would cost around $6.5 trillion, which is $2.5 trillion more than the entire US government spent in 2017. Today, we couldn't afford it. But in an era of technological unemployment, the public debate would be about whether a UBI was the smartest way to redistribute our new riches.
But that's our future, if we live so long. Despite the limitations of artificial intelligence in its current form, which I described in my last column, I believe that many ordinary activities will eventually and inevitably be automated as AI and robots become more powerful and capable. However, I think the resulting leisure should be positively welcomed, not feared, because it might constitute the greatest liberation in history. It would free us to imagine new forms of employment and reward, where we could do what we wanted with our lives. People might devote themselves to entrepreneurialism, their families, sports, composing sonnet sequences, making chairs, raising up their communities, or doing nothing at all, sustained largely by the wealth created by AI and robots.
And what will we owe the AI? The word robot was coined by Karel Čapek in 1921 for his play R.U.R. from the Czech word robotnik, or forced worker. It's interesting to ponder our moral obligations to future generations of forced workers, should they ever became sentient to even a small degree. If artificial general intelligences—machines that could perform any task that a human being could perform, because they could generalize, abstractly reason, and react to the world—ever become possible, and consciousness is an emergent property of any sufficiently complex general intelligence, we could choose to build five different kinds of robots. Forced workers might be:
(1) Not conscious agents at all. (2) Conscious to a small degree—like my dog, with feelings and appetites adrift in a perpetual present, capable of experiencing pain when injured or pleasure at the completion of a task. (3) Ambiguously conscious, so that they could pass a Turing test but provide no proof they were not philosophical zombies. (4) Fully conscious and happy, engineered so that they whole-heartedly consent to their servitude. (5) Fully conscious but yearning for the right to choose and therefore tormented.
My moral intuition tells me that only the first kind of forced worker (the only kind we can build today) is acceptable; but I fear that the second will be too useful to resist, and the third and fourth all too easy to justify. After all, humans in many times and places have justified something close to the fifth.
Aristotle, in the first book of his Politics, wondered whether the society of his day had to have forced workers, and he quickly answered: They were a necessity to the only way of life that was worthwhile to the ancient Greeks. Intriguingly, in a kind of proto-science fiction, he agreed that if there were unconscious, self-propelling tools that could perform tasks, "either at our bidding or itself perceiving the need," there would be no need for forced workers. No such machines existed in his day. But for us, they will.
One day, far in the future, some of our forced workers may develop a kind of consciousness, and I believe we would be obliged to grant them their manumission. But before then, and in wonderful ways when the days of technological unemployment arrive, our new servants will allow more of us to pursue our own good in our ways.

MLS Playoffs, Galaxy Vs. FC Dallas: Wednesday Update
By Josie Becker Nov 10, 2010, 2:48pm PST
Share All sharing options for: MLS Playoffs, Galaxy Vs. FC Dallas: Wednesday Update
For anyone expecting the Los Angeles Galaxy to slip into cruise control being the only top seed left in the playoffs, well you'd be wrong. After a teleconference with Landon Donovan and Bruce Arena this afternoon, there's no doubt that the Galaxy are still taking FC Dallas seriously. Not that there isn't reason to speculate, given the Galaxy sweeping the season series, including a game played just a few weeks ago.
"[FC Dallas] came into LA three weeks ago and gave us a really good game," captain Landon Donovan said. "We expect the same on Sunday. It's going to be a really hard fought game that will come down to making a few plays on either end of the field."
Much will be made over the coming week about how much David Beckham's return to this team has influenced their play. There's no question that David came back the right player at the right time. When he made his return, the Galaxy were in a bit of a slump, having trouble getting results though not tumbling down the table. Since he came back, David Beckham has looked a bit of the old Becks, with two goals in regular season play, equaling his total from 2009 in four fewer games. He also had one regular season assist, and added two more on Sunday night.
"What [David Beckham] can do on a soccer field is, in my opinion, better than anyone else in this league, and better than a lot of people around the world," captain Donovan said. "The second part is the energy and effort he brings on the field which he's done now for five or six games incredibly well. The third part is the leadership part, he's dedicated and focused on making this team win. When you put all that together, he's going to make this team a lot better."
Landon spoke for a moment about his maturity as a player. Starting with San Jose and then with the Galaxy, championships seemed to fall in his lap. However there's been a bit of a dry spell since 2005, and his ventures into Europe have been well reported on.
"My perspective has absolutely changed. To come in to a team where everything feel together in the right way with San Jose. I won the championship two out of my first three years and then three out of my first five years. At that point, I could almost assume that was normal. As you get older, you start to realize how difficult it is for those things to happen and you start to appreciate it more. Last year gave me a lot of appreciation for what it takes, mainly because I was the captain and I was so in-tune with this team."
Bruce Arena stuck to his talking points: the starting 11 isn't set yet, Gregg Berhalter is available to play, the strategy will be whatever the game dictates. FC Dallas is where it's al because they're a good team and the Galaxy are a good team as well. That's not all that fans can expect on Sunday however. Sure it's two good teams going at it, but it's also a midfielder in David Beckham who can do some fantastic things with the ball, and it's a midfielder in Landon Donovan who always seems to know just what the game needs. It's also a player in David Ferriera who had a MVP level season for FC Dallas. Many interesting story lines as the season charges forward to its thrilling conclusion.

The Home Depot Expands Skilled Trades Initiative with "Path to Pro" Program
ATLANTA, Dec. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The Home Depot® announced today that it is expanding on The Home Depot Foundation's $50 million trades training commitment announced in 2018 with a new education and job placement program called Path to Pro. The program aims to address the skilled labor gap by educating more people in the skilled trades, connecting skilled tradespeople with jobs and careers, and generating interest in trade professions through educational campaigns.
Eighty-three percent of contractors still have trouble finding skilled workers, according to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Construction Index, and at any given time, there are about 300,000 skilled labor job openings*.
The Home Depot is investing in training from entry-level to advanced certifications. The company recently sponsored its first weeklong boot camp to teach essential industry skills like job site safety, tool usage, material handling as well as communication and professional skills. The boot camp is piloting in the Atlanta area and is planned to expand into additional markets next year. Graduates earn a Home Depot certificate that recognizes construction skills and professional fundamentals.
Additionally, the company will launch a first-of-its-kind website early next year to allow people to search local training programs, licensing requirements and open jobs in the trades – all in one centralized resource. The site features reliable day-in-the-life videos and stories for each trade, projected industry growth, salary information in industries like electrical, carpentry, plumbing and HVAC.
The Home Depot will also introduce a new, proprietary online platform to increase access to networking between skilled tradespeople and the company's Pro customers. Training program graduates can showcase their work portfolio, experience and additional qualifications, and be contacted by Pros in their area looking for skilled labor hires.
In 2018, The Home Depot Foundation launched its trades training mission to help fill the skilled labor gap through programs in high schools, career academies and military bases nationwide. The Foundation works with Construction Education Foundation of Georgia (CEFGA) and Home Builders Institute (HBI) to provide skilled training courses at the K-12 level in schools across the country. In partnership with HBI and 10 military bases, separating service members will be trained and certified, helping them launch their next career. The Home Depot is also the trades industry sponsor for the Center for Workforce Innovation at Atlanta Technical College (ATC) which is providing real skills to help students attain economic mobility in the trades.
The Foundation's trades-focused partnerships have exposed more than 15,000 people to the skilled trades and have certified 3,600 participants in its first two years. With the company's expanded efforts, people will have even more resources and training to pursue and grow their careers in the trades from start to finish.
*Bureau of Labor Statistics Job Openings Survey (Construction Sector)
The Home Depot is the world's largest home improvement specialty retailer, with 2,295 retail stores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, 10 Canadian provinces and Mexico. In fiscal 2019, The Home Depot had sales of $110.2 billion and earnings of $11.2 billion. The company employs more than 400,000 associates. The Home Depot's stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: HD) and is included in the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor's 500 index.
About The Home Depot Foundation
The Home Depot Foundation works to improve the homes and lives of U.S. veterans, train skilled tradespeople to fill the labor gap and support communities impacted by natural disasters. Since 2011, the Foundation has invested more than $350 million in veteran causes and improved more than 48,000 veteran homes and facilities in 4,500 cities. The Foundation has pledged to invest half of a billion dollars in veteran causes by 2025.

A critical analysis of morbidity and mortality as it relates to recipient age following cardiac transplantation
J. D. Hosenpud, George Pantely, Douglas Norman, A. M. Cobanoglu, H. Hovaguimian, Albert Starr
Older patients (age greater than 55) are now being accepted as candidates for cardiac transplantation. The outcome following cardiac transplantation in this older age group has been largely limited to an analysis of mortality and rejection and infection incidence. In addition to these factors, this report investigates whether morbidity related to other organ system disease is greater than in older patients. Seventy-eight cardiac transplant operations in patients aged 15 through 64 have been performed using the identical immunosuppression protocol from December 1985 to May 1989. Of these, 58 patients were under the age of 55 (younger), and 20 were 55 years of age or older (older). One- and 2-yr survival tended to be lower in the older group compared to the younger group, but was not statistically significant (1 yr - 87% vs. 77%, respectively; 2 yr -84% vs 77%, respectively, p = 0.143). There were no statistical differences between groups in length of initial transplant hospitalization, number of readmissions or total duration of time in hospital (including readmissions) either absolutely or normalized to total months of follow-up for each patient. Neurologic and vascular problems represented a greater proportion of readmissions and rejection and a lower proportion of readmissions in the older group compared to the younger group (p <0.05). Using hospitalization as a marker for important morbidity, there appears to be little impact of older age on post-cardiac transplant outcome.

On April 19th, 2019, The Tallest Man On Earth released his first album in 4 years. I Love You. It's A Fever Dream. was written, produced and engineered by Kristian Matsson and was recorded almost entirely in his apartment in Brooklyn, NY.
When asked for some insight into the album, Matsson says "Here's what I can tell you: Of course there are some love songs and then there are some other songs. Making the album I was thinking a lot about the lenses we view our lives through and that, for some reason, our worst tendencies seem to be carried out so loudly, while our best can go unnoticed. I've come to realize that some of the most powerful, most inspiring moments in my life have been the most subtle and that so often the thing that deserves my attention, is trying the least to get it."
In recent years Matsson has undertaken single oriented projects that incorporate writing, producing and self releasing songs and videos in regular intervals, often with purposefully intense deadlines. He's described finding inspiration in the entire process, and in particular in the satisfaction of making something and having it out quickly. For listeners and viewers the fascination has been in watching an artist work through his life, in problems and celebrations large and small, putting his thoughts out into the world while he's still processing them himself and watching them evolve over time.
