Ire over rental listing's no foreigners claim
An "unfortunately worded" rental listing made the Dutch municipality of Medemblik go viral online. In a listing for a house, rental agent Match Makelaars said that the city "does not like foreigners" and has an "anti-migrant policy." The municipality is furious about the "racist" ad, which was removed after all the fuss. The municipality is taking legal action, a spokesperson said to AD.
The listing is for a five-room house on Westereiland in Medemblik. Match Makelaars rents it out on behalf of the owner. In the ad, which was placed on various sites two weeks ago, the brokers wrote: "The municipality of Medemblik does not like foreigners, so, unfortunately, you cannot live here. There is an anti-migrant policy." The ad was widely shared online.
The municipality of Medemblik is furious about the "racist" text, a spokesperson said to the newspaper. "We distance ourselves from this discriminatory and hurtful reporting and are taking legal action. We have no influence on what a broker puts in an advertisement." The municipality says it fully embraces migrant workers and recently drew up policies stating under which conditions labor migrants can settle in Medemblik.
Match Makelaars said that the ad was a reaction to the municipal policy. For the past seven months, three British migrant workers and a Dutchman lived in the house. But they had to move out under threat of penalty because the municipality said the zoning plan only allows one household to live in the house, Dennis Stello of Match Makelaars said to the newspaper.
The broker realizes that the ad may have been "unfortunately worded." But it's in how you interpret the word "migrant," Stello said. "A refugee from Syria or a white Englishman who works here for a company. They are foreigners. How else should we have described this?" he said. "We are not racist at all. But how do we deal with the housing of migrant workers in the Netherlands?"
According to Stello, the house is now "as good as" rented out and not to migrant workers. "And I am not at all afraid of legal action from the municipality."
Wij herkennen ons niet in deze uitspraak @overlistener. Arbeidsmigranten zijn van harte welkom volgens het beleid wat we daarvoor opstelden: https://t.co/V7I2h1VqiP

Nintendo T-Shirt Design Competition from UNIQLO
Clothing company UNIQLO and Nintendo have partnered together for the UTGP17 global t-shirt design competition.
Unsurprisingly, the theme of the t-shirt must be Nintendo.
For inspirational purposes, potential content ideas are conveniently shown in the format of a video:
Entry to the competition closes 31 August 2016, based on the time in Japan.
Full details of the competition can be read at UNIQLO's Q&A and Regulation webpages.
The prize-winning t-shirts are expected to start retailing in spring 2017.
The Grand Prize is $10,000, plus an invitation to the awards ceremony complete with Shigeru Miyamoto attending, and the winner will also receive the still-codenamed NX – Nintendo's newest video game console.
What the NX exactly is, at this stage it's all rumours and speculation. The cat's still in the bag, but once let out it could be more exciting than a house full of cats. Even for non-cat ladies. And those who've really gone a little bit cat crazy. Maybe from trying to solve the mystery of the NX and Schrödinger's cat simultaneously.
Paradoxes of the Meowth superposition aside, it's time to harness that inner Nintendo fanboy or fangirl and start designing the t-shirt, then enter the UTGP17 competition.
Who knows, maybe the power of glove could be beaten by the power of t-shirt in a retro epic 8-bit battle of Power Glove versus newly designed Power T-Shirt.
But only if the wearers are viewed in AR, Pokémon GO-style.
Any more unfashionably blatant Nintendo references could result in getting hit by a thrown barrel, and Psyduck might get a headache…

Besides listing your name and address, these tags are eye catching and make spotting your bag easier.. My biggest problem with these bags is not that the stuff in them is junk, but that it sends the message to these children that they should expect to get something from going to the party. Shouldn what they is that they get to spend time with their friends? Celebrating their FRIEND birthday? Isn that the prize? Why should they have to be given a prize for coming? I just really think this goes against everything I try to raise my kids to believe. That the biggest thing to celebrate is friends and family not what material things they can get out of it Replica Chloe Bags.


Consult a physician before beginning an exercise program. If pain develops, stop immediately and consult your physician.
Weight training, strength training, body building: these all describe the building of muscle through resistance straining. Anyone who has actually done this knows the engorged feeling the muscles have by the time you leave the gym. While this feeling subsides within several hours, if done on a regular basis, the feeling starts to become permanent. And it doesn't take long. Within three weeks, one notices a difference in tone, and within two months, a difference in size. One's clothes fit differently, and others are commenting on the difference.
Depending upon the number of repetitions and the amount of weight lifted, one can train for either strength, size, or tone One can use either free weights or machines.
Generally, if one wants to build size, one lifts weights so that they will be able to perform 8 to 12 repetitions. For building strength, however, the range would be 3 to 8 repetitions.
The following hyperlinks will take you to sections dedicated to the strengthening of different body parts.
The following program is a sample of a typical workout schedule for someone with low back pain. It would need to be individually tailored to each individual's needs, based on their injuries.

The building is relatively small, consisting of three offices, kitchen, toilet and store. The space inside is simple and has reached good environmental standards, with an increased thermal capacity due to the retaining of the existing walls and structure.
A light shelf, on the main (south-west) elevation, allows natural light into the space, while photovoltaics provide energy for the building. Sliding oak shutters slide across the glazed panels to the meeting room, office and main entrance to give security, solar control and black-out conditions. The canopy supports spell out W.I.

Market Monday with Rebecca Jarvis
ABC's Rebecca Jarvis joins us today for Market Monday, where she gives us all the updates on the stock market and business news. Today we talk about Hurricane Florence's impact on the economy, all of the latest Elon Musk news, and reports that Coca-Cola is considering entering the weed business.
Rebecca is the Chief Business, Technology and Economics correspondent for ABC News. She is also the Host, Creator, and Managing Editor of Real Biz with Rebecca Jarvis.
Rebecca has a new episode of her podcast "No Limits" coming out tomorrow. Rebecca Jarvis speaks with the world's most influential women about how they built their empires -- from their earliest mistakes to their riskiest decisions to the worst advice they ever received to the moments that finally changed everything. New episodes every Tuesday morning.
This week, her guest is Jo Malone. Malone grew up surrounded by creative people. Her father was an artist and a magician, her mother worked in the beauty industry, and Jo was just 8 years old when a facialist asked her to create her very first face mask. Years later, Jo went on to set up her own clinic with just 12 clients which grew to over 500 before eventually going onto create her eponymous company and eventually selling it to Estee Lauder Companies in 1999. On this episode, Jo opens up about walking away from her namesake company in 2006, launching her new bath, body and candle collection Jo Loves, making mistakes, and shares one of the best pieces of advice she got from Oprah.

Marriage is in crisis. That is certainly true outside the church, where the world is trying its hardest to redefine the God-given parameters of marriage and, in so doing, devalue the creation ordinance that God graciously gave the whole world. However, marriage is also in crisis inside the church, though perhaps not in exactly the same ways. Nonetheless, there is a crisis. While the oft-quoted statistic that U.S. Christians are as likely to divorce as non-Christians has been widely discredited, the rate of divorce among professing believers is still alarmingly high.
How, then, as churches do we cultivate healthy marriages? It would be relatively easy to come up with a clickbait list of ten things to do to nurture godly marriages, but I wonder whether our problems are more philosophical than practical. What we really need, in other words, is not primarily a long to-do list, but instead a different understanding—a set of principles from which action can flow.
Here are four founding principles for marriage and the church that we must embrace.
In nurturing good, healthy marriages in local church life, we have to start with the reminder that marriage is not everything. In a world that devalues marriage, Christians can often overvalue it as a correction. Marriage is not the New Testament building block; the local church is. We know this deep down, yet we still idolize marriages and invest in them at the expense of everything else.
I know that for some I am on rocky ground here, but the starting point for cultivating healthy marriages is surely to set them in the context God intended them to have. That context is not as isolated islands floating in the sea of the world, but rather as interconnected units serving in the church with all kinds of people from all kinds of backgrounds.
We need to repent of getting this wrong. We've embraced the proverb "blood is thicker than water" without fully critiquing it. In fact, inasmuch as church life goes, "water is thicker than blood" when the water is the water of baptism. To be frank, this misappropriation of our focus has led to all kinds of errors, such as the way we often ignore singles, widows, and widowers.
There is a deep irony here. Marriages are more likely to be godly and healthy when we ensure we don't make them into everything.
We can overreact, of course. Marriage is a grace gift—a charisma (1 Cor. 7:7) that was ordained for "the mutual society, help and comfort that the one ought to have of the other, both in prosperity and adversity," as Thomas Cranmer so eloquently describes it in the Book of Common Prayer. Moreover, it is wider than that. As a gift from God, marriage is a gift not just to the individual (none of God's gifts work that way) but to the church in order to benefit her. We might then extend Cranmer's words to the whole congregation.
Faithfulness to spouses and faithfulness to God are almost inseparable in the Scriptures.
This blessing to the church arises both because marriage is a protection against sin, particularly the sin of sexual immorality, and also—more positively—because it reflects something much deeper. It "signifies unto us the mystical union that is betwixt Christ and his Church," as Cranmer says. Marriage is a gift not simply because it provides boundaries and protections, but because it teaches us something of the essence of the Christian gospel.
We can become too practical too quickly when it comes to finding reasons to nurture godly marriages. At one level, a healthy union is a beautiful and explicit picture of the spiritual reality we all need to be reminded of every day.
We must be realistic, however. We know that marriages fail for all kinds of reasons, and though we may differ on the precise remedies that Scripture allows in these painful situations, our first cry must surely be, "Don't let it be so!" If we spent as much time investing in protecting marriages as we did arguing about the precise biblical grounds for divorce, we might well find the latter question becoming less pertinent.
We simply cannot assume that a couple will stay married. In churches in the United Kingdom, we often celebrate notable birthdays. Perhaps dear old Miss Agnes reaches the age of ninety and someone bakes her a cake, and we rally around and sing "Happy Birthday." What a fine occasion. But at the risk of sounding trite, I don't have to do very much or accomplish very much to make it to the next milestone—I simply have to keep breathing. How many churches, in contrast, celebrate significant wedding anniversaries? Now there's something to rejoice in.
There may be good reasons for celebrating these anniversaries carefully. We don't want to alienate singles in the church nor distress those whose marriages have ended painfully. To do so might be to fall into the trap of making marriage everything. But we must find ways—as entire church families—to encourage couples to stay together and celebrate when they do. We must recognize that without input from the entire church family, the statistical weight of evidence is against perseverance.
We must also recognize that godliness in marriage is very closely connected to godliness in general. Faithfulness to spouses and faithfulness to God are almost inseparable in the Scriptures. Indeed, when the postexilic prophet Malachi is speaking God's words to God's people, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish which kind of faithfulness (to spouses or to God) he has in view (see Mal. 2:10–16).
Churches need not, in other words, distinguish so sharply between investing resources, time, and energy in marriages and investing them in godliness itself. One feeds the other. That is not to say that tailored events are not sometimes necessary, but we can overplay this hand. A single saint once challenged me (rightly) on the amount of time and energy we gave to marriage enrichment while ignoring more basic building blocks, such as how we speak to one another—a key theme of Scripture.
We can run, that is to say, a Saturday morning seminar or Sunday school class on godly speech and expect it to affect all areas of church life, including marriage. But my senior saint was not entirely right. We can also be deliberate in some of our investment, targeting marriage, and expect it to affect all the same areas of the local believing community.
If we can embrace these principles, then it will be easier for churches to understand what can be done because they understand why they are doing it. This approach may seem a bit intangible to the activist church, but in fact it is entirely biblical to see what to do in the context of why we are doing it. God, in His Word, provides both instruction and motivation.
More importantly, such an approach—getting the principles right first—is more likely, under God, to lead to wise decisions and head off foolhardy ones. Critically, we will value marriage in its right setting—within the local community of believers to whom and for whose benefit this divine ordinance is given.
Rev. Adrian Reynolds is training director of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches in the United Kingdom and author of numerous books, including, with his wife, a workbook for those who are married and in gospel work: Glorious Union: Flourishing in Marriage and Ministry.
Covering topics including Christianity and Culture, Contemporary Christianity, & Marriage.

Three days in a sports hall - what now?
The migrants in the sports hall before their departure on Wednesday. / Salvador Salas
The hundreds of migrants who arrived in Malaga at the weekend are now able to move on, with the help of Cruz Roja
Jan is desperate to find his two-year-old niece, and Mohamed wants to join the army. Just two of the stories of those who have risked their lives to get here
ANA PÉREZ-BRYAN | MALAGA
29 June 201817:37
Jan is 21 and has barely put his mobile phone down since last Saturday. He searches among the videos and games. "Look," he says, to illustrate the story he is about to tell. In the images he looks hot and exhausted as he walks on the Gurugu mountain in Morocco, which is used as a temporary refuge for thousands of migrants who, like Jan, are hoping to reach the promised land.
You can hardly understand what he is saying in the video, although you can guess, because you can see that he is carrying his two-year-old niece on his shoulders. The little girl rests heavily upon her uncle. Now, though, he doesn't know where she is, and that is why he has been glued to his mobile since arriving at Malaga port last Saturday with dozens others.
Too few resources to deal with mass arrivals
The Cruz Roja (Spanish Red Cross) staff who have been looking after the migrants at the Tiro de Pichón sports centre in Malaga try to reassure him: the little girl was taken straight to a foster family and "it seems she's OK", they tell him, but Jan has to move on today. He has spent 72 hours under police custody at the sports centre and now, as a free man, has to decide what to do while still not knowing what will happen to his niece. He is still tormented by the memory of her inconsolable sobbing during the hours of hell on the boat.
"I want to go to France; her father is waiting for us there," says Jan. He is also distressed for another reason: his sister - the little girl's mother - and the baby of the family, just ten months old, are still in Morocco, on that inhospitable mountain waiting to be able to get on a boat.
The four left their native Conakry in Guinea, six months ago and the horrors Jan tells of the journey are exacerbated by the tragedy which has now befallen this family which has been divided into two.
"This is so hard, it's really, really awful," sobs the young man, collapsed on a chair as the compatriots with whom he has shared space for the past few days begin to collect up their scarce belongings. They help the 20 or so Cruz Roja staff who have been caring for them to dismantle the beds, put away the blankets and store the enormous boxes of food and water in the sports centre. The heat is unbearable, but this is a way for them to show their appreciation of the assistance given to them, and it makes them feel useful. That is important.
Some, like Jan, are from Guinea, but others are from Mali, Ivory Coast, Eritrea and Ghana and they are all part of the group of over 200 migrants rescued on Saturday and brought into Malaga Port while not far away local residents were paddling in the sea as they celebrated the Night of San Juan on the beaches.
From there, the adult males (the majority) were taken to the sports centre, where they were kept under watch by the National Police. Meanwhile the women and children were taken to alternative accommodation and shelters.
Cruz Roja workers initially provided medical and humanitarian assistance in the port, then looked after the migrants at the sports centre and then, as the time for them to leave approached, began to carry out other tasks: helping to make the complicated travel arrangements to other cities in Spain, and dismantling the temporary facilities at Tiro de Pichón.
They worked extremely hard to help the migrants reach the places they wanted to go, and find family networks elsewhere in the country.
The diaspora began on Wednesday morning: at midday, about 100 people got on the first coaches, clutching their tickets and a bag of food; another 50 or so followed in the afternoon and about 80 remained under the protection of the Spanish Commission for Refugee Assistance (CEAR) in Malaga because they have applied for asylum.
"You're OK, you've got the white wristband and you'll get to Bilbao with no problem," says one of the workers to a boy who isn't sure which queue to join. He and others with the white wristbands will travel the inland route (Madrid, Zaragoza, San Sebastián and Bilbao). Others with a pink wristband are following the Mediterranean route, stopping in Almeria, Murcia, Valencia and Barcelona.
Mohamed, 25, was heading for Barcelona. He was alone and had no idea what he would find there but was sure it couldn't be any worse than what lay behind him, because this young man with a degree in Industry has been trying to get away for five years.
"I spent more than a year in Morocco waiting to do the crossing," he admits. Then he spent nine hours in a small boat, something he prefers not to talk about. And now, there is uncertainty.
"I'd like to stay in Spain, learn Spanish and join the army," he says. He shook his head firmly when asked if he was afraid he might end up fighting in a war. "No, no," he insists. Then he produces a piece of white paper. "Would you mind writing your phone number on here? Only I don't know anyone in Spain. In case something goes wrong..." he says.
Mobiles and boats
Smartphones have become a type of umbilical cord for these migrants, a way of keeping in touch with those left behind and those who await them all over Europe. It may be someone they know, or sometimes a relative. On Tuesday many of them were overjoyed when Cruz Roja gave them a wifi password so they could contact their families.
"Some people think a phone is a luxury and complain about them having one, as if they didn't have mothers who were anxiously awaiting news that they hadn't died crossing the Strait," says Rosa, one of the Cruz Roja staff. It is a politically incorrect attitude, but is not uncommon when people are sitting on their comfortable sofas watching the images of the migrants on TV. Rosa also answers the question about how the phones survive the boat journey. "They wrap them in condoms so they don't get wet. One on the top and another on the bottom," explains Rosa, gesturing with her hands to demonstrate.
It may sound strange, but the condoms are provided by the nuns in a convent in Nador, who help in any way they can and, thanks to this detail, are able to predict when an avalanche of small boats will be trying to cross the Strait. "When a large number of people request condoms to protect their mobiles, we know they are ready to go at any time," they say. They are rarely wrong. And on this side of the Strait, Rosa makes her own prediction: "This is going to be a very busy summer in Malaga," she says.

Q: Float and double - Significand numbers- Mantissa POV? With Single precision (32 bits): the bits division goes like this :

So we have 23 bits of mantissa/Significand .
So we can represent 2^23 numbers (via 23 bits ) :  which is 8388608 --> which is 7 digit long.
BUT
I was reading that the mantissa is normalized (the leading digit in the mantissa will always be a 1)  - so the pattern is actually 1.mmm and only the mmm is represented in the mantissa.
for example : look here :

0.75 is represented but it's actually 1.75
Question #1
So basically it adds 1 more precision digit....no ?
If so then we have 8 Significand  !
So why does msdn says : 7 ?

Question #2
In double there are 52 bits for mantissa. (0..51)
If I add 1 for the normalized mantissa so its 2^53 possibilites which is : 9007199254740992 ( 16 digits)
and MS does say : 15-16 :

Why is this inconsistency ? am I missing something ?

A: It doesn't add one more decimal digit - just a single binary digit. So instead of 23 bits, you have 24 bits. This is handy, because the only number you can't represent as starting with a one is zero, and that's a special value.
In short, you're not looking at 2 ^ 24 (that would be a decimal number, base-10) - you're looking at 2 ^ (-24). That's the most important difference between float-double and decimal. decimal is what you imagine floats to be, ie. a simple exponent-shifted, base-10 number. float and double aren't that.
Now, decimal digits versus binary digits is a tricky matter. You're mistaken in your understanding that the precision has anything to do with the 2 ^ 24 figure - that would only be true if you were talking about e.g. the decimal type, which actually stores decimal values as decimal point offsets of a normal (huge-ass) integer.
Just like 1 / 3 cannot be written in decimal (0.333333...), many simple decimal numbers can't be represented in a float precisely (0.2 is the typical example). decimal doesn't have a problem with that - it's just 2 shifted one digit to the right, easy peasy. For floats, however, you have to represent this value as a sum of negative powers of two - 0.5, 0.25, 0.125 ... The same would apply in the opposite direction if 2 wasn't a factor of 10 - every finite binary "decimal" can be represented with finite precision in decimal.
Now, in fact, float can easily represent a number with 24 decimal digits - it just has to be 2 ^ (-24) - a number you're not going to encounter in your usual day job, and a weird number in decimal. So where does the 7 (actually more like 7.22...) come from? Simple, just do a decimal logarithm of 2 ^ (-24).
The fact that it seems that 0.2 can be represented "exactly" in a float is simply because everytime you e.g. convert it to a string, you're rounding. So, even though the number isn't 0.2 exactly, it ends up that way when you convert it to a decimal number.
All this means that when you need decimal precision, you want to use decimal, as simple as that. This is not because it's a better base for calculations, it's simply because humans use it, and they will not be happy if your application gives different results from what they calculate on a piece of paper - especially when dealing with money. Accountants are very focused on having everything correct to the least significant digit.
Floats are used where it's not about decimal precision, but rather about generally having some sort of precision - this makes them well suited for physics calculations and similar, because you don't actually care about having the number come up the same in decimal - you're working with a given precision, and you're going to get that - 24 significant binary "decimals".

A: The implied leading 1 adds one more binary digit of precision, not decimal.

True freshman Theron Minium had some control issues, walking 2 and hitting one, and he gave up 3 runs in 1 1/3, but Rory Meister got the save with 1 2/3 scoreless IP, 1 walk, 2 Ks.
Just about everyone was in on the act offensively...Angle 2-4 with a walk, Howell 2-5, Fryer 2-4 with a walk, Shuck 1-4, Miller 2-3 with a walk, Dew 1-4 with a 3 run double, Zoeller 0-3 with a sac fly, Kennedy 3-4, Rupert 0-2 with 2 sac bunts.
It was interesting to see Dew starting in RF and batting 6th and Kennedy getting the nod at third. Tomorrow the Bucks have a doubleheader versus Kansas State; Corey Luebke and Josh Barerra will get the starts.
Here we will look at pitchers who have retired in the last decade or so or who remain active. For active pitchers, I looked for guys who are on the back end of their careers and have won at least 150 games. So you won't see pitchers like Roy Oswalt, Johan Santana, or Roy Halladay here. Their time may come in another five years or so.
One thing that jumped out at me from this chart is just how good Kenny Roger's W-L record is. It's not historical by any means, but I was surprised that it was similar to those of Brown and Cone. Then you consider that he has pitched for .500 teams more or less and it's even more impressive.
I have reservations about including a guy who spent so much time in the bullpen (the Eck) on this list, but he is a HOF pitcher who won nearly 200 games, so I decided not to exclude him. Just take his record with a bigger grain of salt then you do the others.
As teased in the Lefty Grove comment, there are three active pitchers who currently sport a NW% higher then Grove's record .650--Martinez at .680, Johnson at .661, and Clemens at .654. These figures are subject to change as they are still active, but I think it's a good bet that at least one of them holds on and takes that record.
Clemens' incredible +138.9 WCR ranks behind only Young, Johnson, and Alexander all-time. He trails the same three in WAT, but is within striking distance of Johnson and Alexander. The Rocket of course is brilliant in run-based measures as well, and if you apply any kind of "timeline" adjustment at all, you can very easily come to the conclusion that he is the greatest pitcher in the history of baseball.
The Braves trio is probably underrated here, as our assumption of team balance between offense and defense is certainly off base in this case. The Braves didn't have bad offenses, but of course they were a great team primarily because of the aforementioned pitchers. However, they all do better in the Wood approach then the Oliver or Deane approach because at least the Wood approach recognizes that Mate includes the contributions of the team's other pitchers and does not compare the pitcher to the full force of Mate.
The best OSU sports site on the net, The-Ozone, has checked in with their preview of the baseball team. They have the benefit of being able to talk to Coach Todd, and so they have some new information that changes the projected roles of a few players.
For one thing, Brian DeLucia, as I speculated, is the front-runner at third base, but Tony Kennedy is also being looked at there, with no mention of Chris Macke. Eric Fryer will not be used at first base this year, apparently, although I still would not be surprised if he is used at DH every once in a while in order to get a break from catching. Also, true freshman outfielder Ryan Dew has impressed and should be in the mix for playing time, and redshirt freshman outfielder Zach Hurley has apparently taken a big step forward.
On the pitching side, it appears as if Jake Hale could be moved to the bullpen, as the true freshman lefties Theron Minium and Josh Edgin have earned mound time. One of those two or Josh Barerra could take Hale's rotation spot. Hale and Meister would make a pretty strong 1-2 punch out of the pen, although this move would create an all-lefthanded starting rotation. However, Hale's move to the pen is far from certain, with Coach Todd describing it as "an experiment early to see whether that could happen".
The season will begin Friday as the Buckeyes "host" James Madison at the Buckeye Baseball Classic, held at the Yankees' spring training site in Tampa. They will play a doubleheader with Kansas State on Saturday and a single game against Seaton Hall on Sunday. I do not believe that it is a coincidence that the Bucks are hosting their tournament at the Yankees facility, as George Steinbrenner is a well-known friend of the Ohio State Athletic Department.
I have just posted a new spreadsheet with park factors for all teams, 1901-2004, as a Google Spreadsheet. These are five-year park factors, calculated in the same manner I describe on this page.
The guiding philosophy was to try to include as much data as possible. If there are five possible years of data to be used for a park, they will all be used, even if four of the seasons were in the past or in the future. The source of the raw data was KJOK's excellent park database.
For a few random facts, the highest PF is for Coors Field in 1998, 124. The highest non-Coors PF is 114 for Mile High in 1993-94. The highest non-Colorado PF is 113 for the Baker Bowl in a number of years (1923-26, 1933-1937). The lowest PF is 91 for Braves Field in 1936, Dodger Stadium in 1966 and County Stadium in 1959.
As I mentioned in the first installment, I sort of lumped pitchers from the final Neft/Cohen era into groups as I saw fit, without caring too much if Dave Stieb wound up as "recent" and Jack Morris as "1973-Recent", and it shows. However, only the margins are confused, and I don't present the eras as a prism through which you must view a pitcher, just a way to group dozens of pitchers into workable groups.
Steve Rogers may be the worst pitcher I chose to list, but I was interested in seeing how he shook out, and it's my blog, so he's here. Rick Reuschel is a guy you don't hear discussed much, but he pitched for terrible teams. Ron Guidry's unadjusted record is fairly similar to another lefty, Sandy Koufax. Guidry won five more and lost four more then Koufax, with a percentage four points lower. But the surprise for me was that Guidry pitched for even better teams then Koufax did (.555 to .544 advantage in Mate). Jenkins is the first pitcher we've considered who comes out on a .500 team, with Gaylord Perry just a point off.
The case of Bert Blyleven has been discussed ad nauseam on the blogosphere, but it's true that his W-L record isn't that impressive when compared to average. However, compared to replacement, he's pretty strong. And of course all of the research that has been done on Blyleven's actual run support, his record when supported by X runs, etc., should be allowed to take precedence over the data here.
Nolan Ryan, even with the favorable comparison to replacement, does not stand out above a number of pitchers who he dwarfs in the general public's assessment, like Perry, Sutton, Palmer, and Jenkins. Of course, there are other factors, and Ryan probably relied less on his defense then any other pitcher ever. Of course, that can cut both ways. If you pitch for a poor team with poor defense, and you rely on them to make plays behind you, then that is a significant disadvantage. But if you pitch for a poor fielding team and you strike everybody out anyway, there is less extra credit available for you to pick up. Our simple model doesn't account for this, and I don't think that W-L records are reliable enough to be subject to that kind of scrutiny, but I suppose if you wanted to do a lot of work, you could do some accounting for those things.


Do you have bad sunburn or a weird rash on your skin? The MinuteClinic® medical professionals at 9 West 130th Street in Hinckley may be able to help. We can also assist with minor injuries and illnesses, vaccinations, physicals, travel health, women's services and various screenings. Come see us seven days a week near Boston Road close to Interstate 71.
Our preventative approach to health manifests itself in several ways. Perhaps most importantly is the fact that we treat so-called minor conditions such as allergies, nausea, pink eye, joint pain, blisters, chicken pox or cold sores. Sometimes, these illnesses can be easy to treat on your own, or they go away after a few days. However, not everyone is comfortable with this approach, and things aren't always what they seem. By coming here, you get a measure of reassurance and reduce the chances that your condition will become something bigger down the road. Treat it while it is still minor.
In addition, the clinic has treatments for smoking cessation and weight loss.
Another factor in our preventative medicine approach is that we're inside a CVS Pharmacy®. You can see a medical professional, get a prescription filled and shop for over-the-counter medications, bandages and other health care items all under one roof.
We accept uninsured patients as well. Thanks to our price lists online, you can see how much it would cost to visit for, say, weight loss assessment, high cholesterol monitoring or a bladder infection, and plan accordingly. No bad surprises down the road when you get a bill in the mail!
We are open seven days a week beyond traditional business hours. Whether you need a flu shot or assistance with splinters, cough or athlete's foot, we're happy to step in. You can visit us even if you're shopping in the pharmacy and don't have an appointment—just walk in!
If you have questions, give us a call at (330) 225-8458 . We can clarify which procedures we offer or give you directions. Alternatively, input, "walk in clinic near me" to find your way here.

In a Time of Universal Deceit, Telling the Truth is Revolutionary.
Reader Rant
The law waits to pounce when Trump leaves the White House on Jan. 20
Trump faces more than a billion in "balloon payments" over the next three years and faces criminal prosecutions from New York state and city.
By DOUG THOMPSON
Collected on a bet this week from a colleague who, incredibly, thought Donald Trump would concede the election he lost, overwhelmingly, in the 2020 presidential election. As far as I know, she was the only journalist who actually thought Trump would do such a thing.
In November, three weeks after the election, Trump did say he would "leave the White House" on Jan. 20 if Biden was declared the winner after the Electoral College vote on Dec. 14, but he never said we would concede.
As CNN reported on Nov. 27:
President Donald Trump said for the first time Thursday he will leave office if the Electoral College votes for President-elect Joe Biden but made clear he's not prepared to concede.
"Certainly I will, and you know that," Trump said when asked by a reporter about leaving the White House if Biden is declared the winner on December 14. "I will and, you know that."
"It's going to be a very hard thing to concede because we know there was massive fraud," Trump said without evidence.
"Whether we can get this apparatus moving quickly — because time isn't on our side, everything else is on our side, facts are on our side, this was a massive fraud."
Trump was right about one thing. There was "massive fraud" but that fraud was him and his failed presidency.
Some I know who claim to know Trump well say he is fighting the election because he cannot, and will not, ever accept defeat and also because he knows he faces massive criminal and civil charges that are waiting for him when he departs 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
The New York state attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney's offices are investigating Trump for criminal fraud, tax invasion, misuse of government funds and campaign donations — among other things. He also faces balloon payments that top more than a billion dollars on mortgages, and he doesn't have the money to pay them.
"For all practical purposes, Trump leaves the office broke and owing billions on underwater mortgages and angry creditors," says one of those Trump acquaintances who, for obvious reasons, does not want to be identified. "His illusion of business success has vanished and the deceptions he has used to prop up his lifestyle have collapsed."
In 2016, eight months before the presidential election where Trump lost the presidential with voters by a three million gap but still won the Electoral College, former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who lost to Barack Obama four years earlier, was quoted on National Public Radio:
Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, called the current GOP front-runner "a phony, a fraud" in a speech Thursday morning in Salt Lake City. And he didn't stop there.
Romney described Trump as "a con artist" whose demeanor is "recklessness in the extreme." As for Trump's record as a "huge business success"? "No, he isn't." And when it comes to Trump's prescriptions to bring back jobs from China and Japan? "Flimsy at best."
"His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat," Romney said, referring to a real estate seminar Trump launched in 2005 that was forced to change its name because it wasn't a real university. It is now the subject of multiple lawsuits alleging fraudulent behavior.
Romney then added to the list of failed business ventures: "There's Trump Magazine and Trump Vodka and Trump Steaks, and Trump Mortgage?" Romney concluded, "A business genius he is not."
Then came the attacks on Trump as a human being.
"After all, this is an individual who mocked a disabled reporter, who attributed a reporter's questions to her menstrual cycle, who mocked a brilliant rival who happened to be a woman due to her appearance, who bragged about his marital affairs, and who laces his public speeches with vulgarity."
After all that, we had hoped Romney would be more of a thorn in Trump's side in the four years that followed but he, like other Republicans who seemed to feel the same way before Trump moved into the White House, fell into line. He did vote for impeachment — the only Republican who did — but backed Trump's right-wing judicial appointments.
Trump's fraud and con swept over the GOP like a Black Plague of deceit and corruption. Even worse, we saw a tsunami of support from a gullible base of followers who included racists, white supremacists and conspiracy freaks.
Trump and those who enabled him came dangerously close to destroying democracy in this nation and that threat, sadly, remains when he finally leaves the White with bags stuffed with whatever he and his nude-model wife could steal.
He is expected to issue pardons for his acts (now and future) and those of his family members and others who openly aided his fleecing of America. Those pardons, however, apply only to federal crimes and not the prosecutions planned by the attorney generals in New York and, hopefully, others around the nation.
Hopefully, they have the balls to do what those in Congress and Washington enabled and looked the other way during the most massive con game ever deployed to rob this nation and threaten its future.

If he refuses to leave the White House, that could be very convenient: Law enforcement will know right where he is when they come to arrest him! No need to fool around with obstructive Florida LEOs.

Mannix spent a whole bunch of time in the Brady Bunch house
The gritty action series featured most of the Brady home. Mike and Carol must have used Airbnb.
May 16, 2017, 12:30PM By MeTV Staff
From 1969 to 1974, Robert Reed was pulling double duty. Everyone remembers the actor as patriarch and architect Mike Brady on The Brady Bunch. That immortal sitcom role overshadows his concurrent work on the tough-as-nails action series Mannix, which regularly featured Reed as Lt. Adam Tobias, an LAPD cop who occasionally lent private investigator Joe Mannix a hand.
Here are Robert Reed and Mike Connors together, during a typical scene in which Tobias awakens Mannix after he's been knocked out.
This is not the only connection between Mannix and The Brady Bunch, which were both produced by Paramount Television. Another iconic Brady "character" popped up all over Mannix — the Brady house.
The split-level, mid-century-modern house remains one of the most recognizable and beloved homes in television history. The orange kitchen, the brick stairs leading to a sunken living room, the sliding glass doors opening to a bright outdoor patio space, the carpeting slat staircase leading upstairs — we know its details as well as our own childhood homes.
Which is why it's fascinating that Mannix producers made little attempt to disguise this renowned interior. As both series were in production at the same time, the distinctive wallpaper and paint colors are easy to spot.
Let's take a look at some Brady Bunch house cameos.
In season four's "One for the Lady," Mannix considers an offer to become the bodyguard to a mob widow. Alexandra Pulvarenti (Jo Van Fleet) is living in the Brady house, as Mannix meets with her in the living room and on the patio.
The same spaces are featured heavily a couple seasons later in "The Danford File," when Mannix attends a party thrown by Barney Edmonds, an old friend managing a Hawaiian gubernatorial campaign.
This episode also gives us a good look at the stairs, as the wonderful Jessica Walter descends.
For reference, here are some shots of the same living areas on The Brady Bunch.
The season seven finale, "The Ragged Edge," which featured guest star Linda Evans, explored even more of this enviable home. You can spot the unmistakable orange kitchen in the shot at the top of the page.
Mannix also awakens in the Brady girls' bedroom, which is sporting the yellow floral look from the final season. The family had recently wallpapered over the pink walls in "My Brother's Keeper," which aired five months before "The Ragged Edge." Across the hall, you can also spot the baby blue door of the kids' bathroom as Linda Evans crosses the frame.
Mannix was not the only television show borrowing the Brady house. In 1972, Mission: Impossible popped in for the episode "Double Dead." Here is Peter Graves walking in that chic front entrance.
Perhaps Mike Brady was also secretly the inventor of Airbnb?
Keep your eyes peeled for this mod marvel in episodes of Mannix! Of course, you can always see it on The Brady Bunch, too.

It was not uncommon for studios to use standing sets of other series when not in use on other shows - MISSION:IMPOSSIBLE for instance used sets from FAMILY AFFAIR during its run as Producer Fedderson leased space from Desilu for The show (Unlike His "My Three Sons" shot at CBS Studio City). M:I also used the Brady Sets redressed as well.
Paramount Television Actually kept the set in storage after BRADY BUNCH ended ("Fold and Hold") and it turns up on a late MANNIX episode a year after it was canceled.
It's cost-effective to use an available set and redress than build a new one for an episode.
Revue/MCA would do the same thing in the 1950's - The "Leave it to Beaver" and "Batchelor Father" sets would turn up on "G.E. Theater", "Alfred Hitchcock" and "Thriller" as they leased, and then later owned Universal Studios!
Warner Brothers for there Westner shows would use the same Sharrif's office redressed for ALL of them, slightly redressed, same with a Saloon set.

I've been watching the entire series of Mannix on METV. If I had to guess, I'd say the Brady House was used more times than those listed; perhaps, as many as 8-10 times.

The new Common Core Standards, which are being adopted by nearly every state in the country, outline instructional math time for kindergartners. This includes shapes, number comparisons, sequential counting, measurement and addition and subtraction.
So why expose kindergartners to concepts they simply are not ready to grasp?
Preparation, some say. Such early exposure gets kids ready for more difficult problems later in their academic careers. Show them a time line or other simple concepts now, for example, and it is believed they'll better understand things like addition and subtraction later.
Despite the research, is there an advantage to 'pushing' kindergartners too hard academically? Some say no.
Another concern about increased math instruction in kindergarten is that it takes away from all-important play time. And advocates of play say that the abilities and skills developed through this activity are also critical for success later in life.
'Through play children take on every aspect of life,' Almon said.
Behavioral changes in kindergartners have been noted as a result of stress; stress, some say, that results from too many expectations placed on them. And parents, too, are stressed. One mother told MSNBC.om that she enrolled her child in summer tutoring classes for math and reading...before her child even started kindergarten!
So, will teaching math to kindergartners help or hinder them? Will they, and their parents, be too stressed out, or will the experience help them down the road? Time will tell...but for now, as research and the Common Core Standards indicate, early learning seems to be something that kindergartners can count on.

DELTA: Koko Families Say Gov. Uduaghan Acquired Hectares Of Land Illegally
Source: thewillnigeria.com
Asaba March 18, (THEWILL) - For allegedly acquiring about 2929.288 hectares of their land without due consultation and compensation, Major families in the proposed multi-million naira Export Processing Zone (EPZ) project in Koko, Delta State have given the state governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan a hard knock even as they accused the state government of illegal acquisition.
The families claimed that the government refused to pay compensation to them but leased the property to the firm handling the project, Colechurch International Limited for N69, 818,610.00 per annum. The aggrieved families said they would challenge the Certificate of Occupancy granted Colechurch International and the Environmental Impact Assessment Report, EIA, claiming the process did not follow due process.
Speaking on behalf of the families on Thursday was Chief Victor Nana, head of Iweroko and Ameron (Ugogomeje) family and flanked by heads of six other families.
They accused the Uduaghan led government of arrogance adding that when the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) exercise was carried out, the families were not consulted as stakeholders. Though excited about the numerous benefits the project would bring to the area they however want due process to be followed as it is done worldwide.
"The illegal acquisition of our land and subsequent government actions makes the EPZ seem like a stinking sausage or a pot of honey with dead flies.
"We are appealing to the Itsekiri nation, well meaning persons, the international and human rights community to come to their aid in this matter for the sake of peace and justice".
The family heads made reference to the Lekki Free Trade Zone in Lagos where communities were compensated and thereafter an MOU was signed between the communities and government.
A Government House source in Asaba said Uduaghan and the families have resolved the dispute.

Saint Leonard of Port Maurice
(San Leonardo da Porto Maurizio)
Feast Day – November 26
Leonard was born in 1676 at Port Maurice, a seaport near Genoa, the son of Dominic Casanova, a ship captain. Dominic raised his children with so much care that three of his sons entered the Franciscan Order, and his only daughter took the veil.
When Leonard was thirteen years old, he went to Rome to enter the renowned Roman college where St Aloysius once pursued his studies. There he so distinguished himself by piety, diligence, and good works that he was called another Aloysius. After completing his college studies he thought of entering the medical profession. But he soon perceived that God was calling him to another state of life. He happened to visit the church connected with the Franciscan convent of St Bonaventure in Rome when the choir intoned the verse at Compline, "Converte nos Deus, salutaris noster! – Convert us, O God, our salvation!" The young man was strangely impressed by these words and took them as a call from heaven to enter the order and devote himself to God's service.
On October 2, 1697, his request for the holy habit was granted, and eventually he became the glory of the friary of St Bonaventure. His exact observance of the rule was admirable; likewise his fervor at prayer, his burning love of Jesus and Mary, his rigorous penance, his humility, and his tireless charity toward his neighbor. It was his ardent desire to preach the Gospel to the pagans in China and to shed his blood for the Faith. But his delicate constitution for a while even prevented him from preaching. Consumption seemed to have claimed him as a victim; but, at the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, he was miraculously restored to health.
Saint Leonard of Port Maurice now devoted himself with renewed zeal to parish missions. Amid great hardships and dangers, he spent twenty-four years as a missionary, covering every section of Italy and the island of Corsica, which was then notorious for lawless inhabitants. The power of his words made a deep impression because of his strict life; and he converted innumerable sinners. Meanwhile he did not forget himself. For his benefit and that of his brethren engaged in preaching missions, he built a retreat house at Incontro near Florence, where the missionaries could withdraw for a time in order to prepare themselves for future activities by a life of seclusion and penance. During his sojourns there, Saint Leonard of Port Maurice scourged his body without compassion in order to obtain mercy for himself and for poor sinners. Then he wrote down his well-known resolutions, which he kept until his death.
In Rome Saint Leonard of Port Maurice founded several pious confraternities, especially that of the Sacred Heart. He taught the people frequently to say the little ejaculation: "My Jesus, mercy!" Wherever he went, he spread the devotion of the Way of the Cross and perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. In a special manner he also fostered devotion to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin; and to the intercession of the Immaculate Virgin he attributed all the good he had ever received or done in his life.
Pope Benedict XIV held Father Leonard in high esteem. The pope secured the promise from him not to die in any other city but Rome, and Father Leonard kept his promise. Returning to Rome from a mission in Bologna, Saint Leonard of Port Maurice died in the convent of St Bonaventure, November 26, 1751. God glorified him in life but still more after his death by numerous miracles. Pope Pius VI, who had known him personally, beatified him in 1796; and Pope Pius IX canonized him June 29, 1867. Pope Pius XI appointed him patron of all parish missionaries.

I am sorry to all my lovely friends who keep up with my blog that my post are not very regular. The excuse at the minute is I am constantly busy with Uni homework. It took me all day yesterday selecting, rejecting and mounting my work on to 24 A2 sheets of cartridge paper, ready for presentation for Drawing for Textiles. I have one detailed drawing left to do plus ongoing sketchbook work for this module but its more or less in the bag. I now have to do the same for Creative Thinking and Textiles. The deadline for completion is the 13th January 10am ready for assessment under exam conditions. Now its seems a long way off but I know if I don't keep on top of it I will run out of time and go into complete panic mode. After selecting and rejecting then mounting out came the sketch book because I wanted to draw this lovely flower. We where asked to use different types of mediums in drawing for textiles, I decided to have a go and draw with a Biro. Now you would think in a room full of pens, pencils and paints I would have umpteen Biro's but the only Biro I could lay my hands on was a freebie from Barclay's bank. I have to say this was a lovely pen to draw with it created really soft lines and it was a joy to use. I have decided that I will be picking up several of these pens next time I'm in the bank. The second image is the same flower only this time I have used water colour paints. It is not quite finished as I need to add bits of detail using water colour pencils.
Lovely sensitive drawings, beautiful as always.
Lovely drawings - I have never tried drawing with a video, must give it a try.
Don't you just hate predictive text! Should be biro not video!!
Susan. This is my pension you are using. Think of me when I am reduced to dry bread and water!


When I was about 10 years old, my father was building a fence around our backyard. He used a tool called a post-hole-digger that grabbed the earth out of the ground, like a two-sided shovel, and made holes for the fence posts. I decided this tool would be useful for going to China. I asked him if I could dig my way through the earth to this exotic & colorful land that I somehow held in my mind.
He laughed and said, sure, if you'd like to dig your way to China, feel free. So I took that post-hole-digger and I started digging in the backyard. In one afternoon, I may have dug about 2 feet. That night I went to sleep and dreamed of what I'd find when I got to China.
The next day, I went back to work. Within a half-hour or so, I hit water. It gushed uninvited into my hole. What was happening? Did I hit the Pacific Ocean? I showed my Dad and he said, oh, you must have hit the water table.
I was never to get to China by way of digging, of course. It was a small girl's dream of a big endeavor. But when I lived in Korea, one of the advantages of living there was that I could travel to places in Asia. China was right next door; it was no longer on the other side of the earth.
I ventured to China on September 21-25, 2010, while working in Korea. Koreans have a Thanksgiving holiday in September, called Chuseok, during which there is a mass exodus of Koreans returning to their hometowns to pay respects to the spirits of one's ancestors. I also made an exodus. To China. Having no ancestors to visit in Korea, I explored this next-door neighbor to Korea, though I only visited a tiny dot on its expansive landscape.. I went only for 5 days and I saw Beijing and The Great Wall. China was not a repeat of Korea. It was more exotic, more chaotic, more full of character. It transported me to centuries past and to new experiences. It knocked me off my feet, surprised me in ways I couldn't even imagine.
For a while, in one of my past incarnations, I was a quilter. What I loved about quilting was designing them, buying the different fabrics and putting them together into a beautiful whole. I really hated the sewing. But I designed and made a number of small quilts, art pieces really. At the time, Asian fabrics were in vogue, fabrics with lotus flowers, peonies, all of distinctly Asian design. I loved these designs. They made me dream of China.
Numerous films piqued my interest in this exotic country throughout my life. There was the artistically done, fantastical 2000 Chinese martial arts movie, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon 卧虎藏龙. This film transported me to a fantasy world where people could fly, sail, fight impossible battles, and fall passionately in love.
The well-done 2001 movie, Beijing Bicycle, portrayed a hopeless city of modern times. Guei arrived from the country and got a job as a messenger. The company issued him a bike, which he had to pay for out of his wages. When it was stolen, Guei hunted for it and found that a student, Jian, had it; for him, it was the key to teen society – with his pals and with Xiao, a girl he fancied.
Guei found the bike and stubbornly tried to reclaim it in the face of great odds. But for Jian to lose the bike would mean humiliation. The two young men – and the people around them – were swept up in the youths' desperation. This is an amazing movie that shadows my imaginings of Beijing.
Another movie that touched my heart was the 1999 The Road Home. The story told of a young man who returned to his native village after the death of his father, the village's schoolteacher, who died while trying to raise money for a new schoolhouse. His body was in a neighboring town; the young man's mother insisted that it be brought back on foot, in case his spirit could not find his way home. From this starting point, the young man recounted the tale of his parents' courtship, which involved a red banner, mushroom dumplings, a colorful barrette, and a broken bowl. It was a quiet and moving story that I adored.
In the 2006 movie The Painted Veil, Edward Norton played a British medical doctor treating a cholera outbreak in a Chinese village, while trapped in a loveless marriage to a faithless wife, Naomi Watts. The panorama of the karsts in southern China that permeate scenes in the movie were breathtaking and gorgeous. Karsts are limestone protrusions that jut up in the midst of rice paddies, rivers & farms, especially near the Li River in China.
Books fueled my imagination, informing me about this country so different from my own. I read Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China, a book about 3 generations of Chinese women. An autobiographical family history by Chinese writer Jung Chang, it was published in 1991 and won two awards, the 1992 NCR Book Award and the 1993 British Book of the Year. It tells the story of the author's concubine grandmother, her mother who was in the Communist Party, and the experience of being part of the Cultural Revolution. I learned more about China from this book than anything else I have ever read. It's truly amazing.
I read Amy's Tan's books: The Joy Luck Club and The Kitchen God's Wife. The Joy Luck Club was written in 1989 and focuses on Chinese American immigrant families in San Francisco who start a club called the "Joy Luck Club," playing the Chinese game of Mahjong while eating their native foods. The Kitchen God's Wife deals with the American-born daughter of a Chinese mother and a Chinese-American father. Though these books don't deal with life in China, they reflect the Chinese immigrant experience and the difficulties of merging two cultures.
I read a book by Lisa See, Peony in Love. Set in 17th-century China, the novel is a coming-of-age story, a ghost story, a family saga and a work of musical and social history. As Peony, the 15-year-old daughter of the wealthy Chen family, approaches an arranged marriage, she commits an unthinkable breach of etiquette when she accidentally comes upon a man who has entered the family garden. I also read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan, another novel by Lisa See.
I love it that Chinese books so often have flowers in the titles. They sound so romantic, so secret garden-like.
Before going to Turkey, I finished reading a novel by Janice Y.K. Lee called The Piano Teacher that took place in Hong Kong during WWII and 10 years after. This book really made me want to visit Hong Kong, which I was sure, because of its British colonial past, had a different feel than mainland China.
While I was in Oman in 2013, a woman contacted me through my blog, a nomad in the land of nizwa, to inquire about working for the University of Nizwa. After our correspondence, she ended up taking a job in China. In 2014, I wrote to ask about possible jobs at her university and she told me they had just instituted a mandatory retirement age of 60. As I started looking at jobs in China, I saw many with an age limit of 60. I figured since I only had one more year to work in China, I would focus my job search there.
In all, I applied for 70 jobs, beginning my job search when I returned from California at the end of January 2014 and ending on June 13, when I got a job offer from a Chinese college. I had applied for jobs at a rate of 3 jobs a week over 21 weeks. Though I had tried at the same time to get a job in the U.S., I didn't get any responses to my applications. I came to believe my days of trying to find a job in the U.S. were over.
I'd always wanted to teach in China for a couple of reasons: 1) Asian students in general are hard-working and 2) there are a lot of amazing things to see in China. I focused my job search there and in one week I had four interviews and I got three offers. I accepted an offer to teach at SCIC (Sino-Canadian International Colleges), Guangxi University in Nanning, the capital city of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It was not far from Vietnam and was about a 3 1/2 hour bus ride from Guilin, where the movie The Painted Veil was filmed.
In a way, I felt relieved to be going abroad again. Taking a job in the U.S. probably wouldn't have allowed me to travel. Besides, starting a new job in a corporation or a non-profit at this point would mean starting with only 2-3 weeks of vacation per year. Teaching abroad allowed me to have both the cultural immersion I craved and to have extensive time off to travel in the region where I would be based. Overall, it was a great solution to my dilemmas. As I only had about 9 more years to work before I retired, and I still had my health, I figured I should take advantage of teaching abroad. Besides, my kids were nowhere close to settling down, getting married or having kids; by the time they were, I would be back in the U.S., ready to settle down and enjoy the extended family. And best of all, they were supportive of me having my adventures while I was still young enough to have them!
After being at home for a year, I missed a number of things about being abroad, especially the expats and foreigners one meets when thrown into a foreign country. Everyone is an adventurer of some sort. Being in the U.S., I was tired of having people's eyes glaze over when I shared my experiences living abroad. I loved the fellow nomads that tended to gravitate to each other in foreign lands. In addition, I met wonderful natives of the country. We shared a common experience no one else could ever understand.
Once I got the job offer, I was excited to venture again to China. I was due to arrive in Nanning on September 1, 2014.
While I'm in Spain walking the Camino de Santiago from August 31 – October 25, and then in Portugal from October 26 – November 6, I kindly request that if you write a "call to place" piece, please simply link it to the appropriate post, this one or my next one as soon as it publishes. I will try my best to read your posts while I'm on my journey, but I won't have a computer or the time or ability to add links to my posts.
My next post on call to place will be on Thursday, October 25.
If you'd like, you can use the hashtag #wanderessence.
I invite you all to settle in and read a few posts from our wandering community. I promise, you'll be inspired! See below in the comments for any additional links.
Suzanne, of Being in Nature, wrote about her call to Spain and the light and shadows she encountered there.
Ann-Christine, of Leya: To See a World in a Grain of Sand, wrote about her visit to Astorga, Spain where she first felt the pull to do the Camino de Santiago one day.
I think you do know this story, Jo. I briefly saw your post about the Terra Cotta Warriors but haven't had time to read it properly. You're too busy now to write for my challenges. I can't even write for them myself so it's for the best! You have busy and exciting times ahead! Good luck. I hope it all falls together smoothly!
You were definitely born with the wanderlust gene Cathy. And the determination to fulfil your dreams.
You have certainly made up for lost time in recent years. I am wondering what can possibly be next!
Oh, you have had some adventures, Cathy! You have determination in spades!
I've been lucky in my later years to have discovered my adventurous self, Sue!
Fortunately, I was in touch with my adventurous self when I was younger and fit….
A lot of your cultural references resonated – especially Amy Tan. I've read all her books and just love them. I think my favourite is 100 Secret Senses. I might just have to start reading them again now!
I haven't read The Hundred Secret Senses. Thanks for putting it on my radar! I do love her books, and Lisa See's.
Your mention of the Chinese film about the bicycle theft brought to mind my all-time favourite film from the neo-realism period of Italian cinema (the fifties? sixties?) "Bicycle Thieves". It is one film that is guaranteed to bring me to tears and no matter how often I see it, I am still moved by it. Another long and satisfying read, thank you.

Q: Registering tags taxonomy for a custom post type The actual post type support categories and I want to add also support for tags.
I have this code:
register_taxonomy(
    'category_' . $slug,
    array( $slug ),
    array(
        'hierarchical' => true,
        'label' => "$slug Categories",
        'singular_label' => "$slug Category",
        'rewrite' => true
    )
);

So, I was trying to duplicate this for supporting tags but is not working.
This is the entire code for portfolio post type :
$portfolio_slugs = get_option("zeitgeist_portfolio_slug");
if(is_array($portfolio_slugs))
    foreach ( $portfolio_slugs as $slug ){
        add_action('init', 'create_portfolio');
        register_taxonomy("category_".$slug, array($slug),
        array("hierarchical" => true, "label" => "$slug Categories", "singular_label" => "$slug Category", "rewrite" => true));
        register_taxonomy("tags_".$slug, array($slug), array("hierarchical" => false, "label" => "$slug Tags", "singular_label" => "$slug Tags", "rewrite" => true));

function create_portfolio() {
    $portfolio_slugs = get_option("zeitgeist_portfolio_slug");
    $portfolio_counter = 0;
    $portfolio_names = get_option("zeitgeist_portfolio_name");
    foreach ( $portfolio_slugs as $slug ){
        $portfolio_args = array(
            'label' => __("Portfolio '".$portfolio_names[$portfolio_counter]."'"),
            'singular_label' => __($portfolio_names[$portfolio_counter++]),
            'public' => true,
            'show_ui' => true,
            'capability_type' => 'post',
            'hierarchical' => false,
            'rewrite' => array('slug' => $slug, 'with_front' => true),
            'supports' => array('title', 'editor', 'thumbnail', 'author', 'comments', 'excerpt')
        );
        register_post_type($slug,$portfolio_args);
    }
}

function portfolioSingleRedirect(){
    global $wp_query;
    $queryptype = $wp_query->query_vars["post_type"];
    $portfolio_slugs = get_option("zeitgeist_portfolio_slug");
    if(is_array($portfolio_slugs))
        foreach ( $portfolio_slugs as $slug ){
            if ($queryptype == $slug){
                if (have_posts()){
                    global $pcat;
                    $pcat = "category_".$slug;
                    require(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single_portfolio.php');
                    die();
                }else{
                    $wp_query->is_404 = true;
                }
            }
        }
}
add_action("template_redirect", 'portfolioSingleRedirect');

A: The categories your code creates is a custom taxonomy, not the default post category taxonomy.
Anyway, if you want to add support for the default post tags taxonomy, the name is post_tag and can be added via the taxonomies argument in your $portfolio_args:
$portfolio_args = array(
    'taxonomies' => array( 'post_tag' ),
    // all of your other portfolio args
);

See register_post_type in Codex for more info.

A: You have to add 'taxonomies' => array( 'post_tag' ) like others have said, but you also have to add 'taxonomies' in the 'supports' argument for the taxonomy boxes to show up in the admin page, like so
'supports' => array('title','editor','thumbnail','taxonomies')

Note the first check box is "Fixed" and the color for the background is selected as white. Click on OK. A new image will be generated.
Why is Gliftex like this? Because the first element, "Form", has nothing to do with color. It knows nothing about color. The next element "Color Scheme" has been told explicitly to keep the background white.
However "Interpretation" changes how many colors there are in the final image, and how they are chosen for different parts of the image, so when you go "Full Auto" it believes you mean what you say. There is a tight connection between color scheme and interpretation because the interpretation contains the names of the colors (Leaf Outline) for example, even though it does not contain the color itself.
