Victor-O. Debonneville (Gimel, 5 februari 1829 - aldaar, 11 maart 1902) was een Zwitsers notaris, rechter, bestuurder en politicus voor de linkse radicalen uit het kanton Vaud.

Biografie

Jurist
Van 1851 tot 1852 studeerde Debonneville notariaat in Lausanne. Na zijn studies werd hij notaris. Van 1874 tot 1876 was hij rechter in de militaire rechtbank.

Politicus
Tussen 1857 en 1882 was Debonneville burgemeester (syndic) van zijn geboorteplaats Gimel. Gelijktijdig zetelde hij van 1857 tot 1885 in de Grote Raad van Vaud. Van 2 december 1878 tot 1 september 1880 was hij bovendien lid van de Kantonsraad, als opvolger van Antoine Vessaz en voorganger van Jules Brun. In 1884 zetelde hij de constituante en het jaar nadien werd hij lid van de Staatsraad van Vaud, de kantonnale regering, waar hij bevoegd was voor binnenlandse zaken. Hij bleef lid van de regering tot 1899, toen hij zijn notariskantoor in Gimal heropende. Enkele jaren later zou hij er overlijden.

Bestuurder
Debonneville was lid van de raad van bestuur van de Kantonnale Bank van Vaud, waarbinnen hij de aandeelhouders vertegenwoordigde, en van de Société vaudoise de secours mutuels.

Leading Lady Number 3
In participation of National Women's Month and the National Women's History Project's Weaving the Stories of Women's Lives, C4 Atlanta would like to share the next story from our Leading Ladies series.
Everyone meet Jennifer Lobsenz!
Where/who do you work for and what is your role?
I'm the Program Director at WonderRoot, an arts and social change organization. We offer programming for youth and adult artists at a range of stages in their careers in a wide diversity of genres (visual, literary, film, dance, music). Check out all that we've got going on and come get involved!
As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An actress/U.S Supreme Court Justice.
Who was your favorite artist/writer/performer growing up?
My first strong entry point into the arts was through literature and theater. When I was growing up, I was pretty into Scott O'Dell, Roald Dahl, Lois Lowry, James Baldwin, Lorraine Hainsberry… Artists who made me both feel and think.
Who has been/had the the biggest influence on your life? What lessons did the person teach you?
Well this is an impossible question! My parents and my partner, Alex Gallo-Brown, have probably played the most influential roles in shaping who I am. My mother has taught me much about how to be a strong female in a male-dominated world, and my father is certainly to credit for cultivating my passion for social justice. Alex, my partner in crime for the last six years, has taught me the power of perspective, partnership, and deep, radical love.
As I was lucky enough to grow up going regularly to the public library and the theater, I spent much of my younger years writing stories and putting on plays with my sister/cousins/neighbors/anyone else I could rope in. After taking a photography course in university, I became infatuated with the medium and the first thing I did upon graduation was move to New York and nab a job in a photography gallery. I've been working in the arts ever since.
I define art as a deep commitment to and strong understanding of a given form of expression (be this paint on canvas, blown glass, fence-mending or hair-braiding) that is successfully executed to inspire deep feeling in the viewer/audience. Inspired by the views of Léopold Sédar Senghor, I see little division between art and life and am much more committed to maintaining the spirit which makes art possible.
What are your thoughts on equality and representation of women in the arts?
In the arts, as in most fields, historically marginalized voices continue to be underrepresented and undervalued. They are there, shouting to be heard, but the people at the top of the tower aren't listening (because they don't have to). One of my deepest passions is the redistribution of societal microphones. We've heard and read and seen the stories of the historically dominant over and over in our art history books, museums, and on the television screen. I am hopeful that the future holds strong speaking positions—on gallery walls and stages, within institutional hierarchies, in the public realm—for women, as well as other non-dominant identity groups (people of color, the LGBQT community, the working class, immigrant and refugee communities, etc.).
What in your profession has given you the greatest satisfaction or fulfillment? Looking back, what would you have done differently? What would you do again?
The opportunity to play a leadership role at WonderRoot during a time of much transformational growth has been immensely meaningful for me. I'm excited by the organization's growing commitment to making use of the arts as a vehicle for social change, and deeply grateful for the opportunity to play a part in this chapter of the organization's evolution. I'd do it all again. I'd worry about things less.
I moved to Atlanta two and a half years ago and was pretty immediately warmly welcomed by the local arts community. (As someone who has moved many times in the last decade, this is a stark contrast to my other relocation experiences.) I continue to be deeply impressed with the art community's supportive nature and can do spirit; Atlanta's got a lot of incredible, dedicated individuals and organizations who are open to new ideas, shoot for the moon, and make incredible things happen for both artists and the community at large. That infectious spirit is what most excites me.
What do you hope to contribute to the Atlanta arts community?
I'd like to encourage audiences to think more critically about art, equity, political and economic structures, cultural differences, philosophical inquiries… I'd like to serve as a bridge, to bring diverse communities together for meaningful exchange. I'd like to champion the importance of actively listening to other people's stories with the understanding that it isn't necessary to have lived neatly aligned experiences in order to care for and appropriately support others.

The WNBA'S Male Coaching Problem
It's jarring watching a league so steeped in meaningful social justice work fail at such an important component of equality, the hiring process.
Source: WNBA
Eight out of the twelve head coaches in the WNBA are men. In the head coaching space, these are mediocre men who failed to find success at other levels of coaching. The WNBA doesn't need to be a golden parachute for failed male coaches nor does it need to be a jumping off point for a career. Derek Fisher is a bad coach. He has been a bad coach at every level. He was a terrible coach for the Knicks and that qualified Fisher to take over one of the most storied franchises in WNBA history. He has no experience coaching women nor any experience successfully coaching anybody. Walt Hopkins went to Harvard, did some coaching while running a business and landed a head coaching job in one of the biggest markets in the League. Hopkins was an assistant coach for a few year, and got a nice player development gig and then a big time coaching job. He shouldn't be a head coach in the WNBA. He's young, white, Harvard educated and got pushed to the front of the line in a league that prides itself on representation and social justice.
Aces- Bill Laimbeer
Wings- Brian Agler
Sun- Curt Miller
Mystics- Mike Thibault
Storm- Mike Hughes
Sky- James Wade
Liberty- Walt Hopkins
Sparks- Derek Fisher
There are four teams with women as the head coach. In the WNBA. What's worse about the hiring of these men is that the men don't have to be at the pinnacle of the field. Fisher, Hopkins and even Curt Miller were all bestowed Head Coaching jobs in major markets without the experience or credentials.
Curt Miller and Bill Laimbeer are accomplished WNBA coaches with a history of playoff success and finals appearances. They worked in the WNBA system and made a name in women's basketball. A cursory glance at the resumes of the four women coaches tells a story of women who had to be the best coaches in their colleges history and then work in lower levels to fight to get a head coaching gig in the WNBA. Nicki Collen has a pretty quick ascent to head coaching in the WNBA but she was a terrific player and was an assistant at multiple colleges and for the Connecticut Sun. Marianne Stanley was the best coach in Old Dominion history, a literal Women's basketball hall of famer, had coached at every level multiple years to finally get another shot in Indiana after a short stint in Washington. Cheryl Reeve was a fantastic coach at Indiana State before grinding her way into the WNBA head coaching scene. Brondello's story is the same, a legend overseas and a great coach who worked her way into an interim role before becoming the head coach.
Why is the WNBA another place where men are given preferential treatment over qualified women? Clearly being a good player as a man lends them more credibility than a women who was also a hall of fame player with extensive coaching experience. It's not just the head coaches either, it's the assistant coaches as well. Anecdotally, the sidelines of a WNBA game look just like the sidelines of an NBA game and that's not ideal. It has to be disheartening to be a woman trying to make it in the field knowing you have to be the best at everything you do to get to the top when mediocre men will get a shot before you. That's not what this league is supposed to be about. If the WNBA doesn't value women as coaches who will? This all seems in direct opposition to the values of the league. Watching the WNBA double and triple down on being a woke league the lack women on the sidelines is genuinely depressing. 63% of the coaches in NCAA div. I Women's basketball are women. The WNBA is at 33%. That's unacceptable.
My education is in Counseling (M. Ed). I love the Browns, Knicks, Retro Gaming, and Pro Wrestling. I've been a student affairs professional for a decade.

Super Speakers
It's finally here! Our B!G showcase event is really happening and we have such an exciting line-up of the B!GGEST superstars. Emma Power of 2FM fame will MC the event and we have four incredible speakers ready to blow us away. Does the fabulousness ever end…. read on to find out more about our speakers.
First up is David Pollard. David is the Education and Innovation Manager at European Institute of Innovation and Technology (Health). He is also the Founder of TeamOSV (Open Source Ventilator) and was a Finalist at the Red Cross Humanitarian Awards. He is a PhD Candidate in Inclusive Design and Creative Technology Innovation at UCD and he began his career as a builder. Not a bad CV but there's an even more incredible real life story. It's hard to imagine that David struggled in school academically but he did and he now believes that this was due to a "lack of understanding of how to learn". Since then, thinking about how people learn has become a theme in his work, as has the subject of resilience. Through his Master's degree he found some of the most resilient people he'd ever met, people within the disabled community. He was placed by the Rehab group to work with individuals with intellectual disabilities and found that he really loved it. He started connecting these communities with the tech world and so his world and their world grew. "My goal is to create—I hope—positive opportunities and paths for others."
Next we have Lara Hanlon who is Senior Designer at IBM.
Lara is an award-winning designer, working with IBM in New York City. She creates a culture of design; collaborating at the intersection of design practices, education and culture. She is currently working on designing brand experiences and digital platforms.
Lara co-created and delivered Ireland's first PostGrad Design Thinking course with Dr Hilary Kenny in IADT Dun Laoghaire where she had graduated from. She held tight to her roots here as she has part-time lectured in BA(Hons)Design in Visual Communications at IADT since graduating.
Lara is also passionate about the future of food and sustainability and in 2017 delivered a TED talk about her discoveries in a research project she undertook to encourage Western society to include insects as a food source. We were thrilled with Lara's comment about The B!G Idea:
"I'm so jealous of the students taking part in The Big Idea – Ireland — I wish I had this back in my day!" How cool is that.
Our next speaker to welcome is David Fitzgerald who is an Irish hurling manager and former player, currently managing the Wexford senior hurling team. As a player he was widely considered to be one of the greatest goalkeepers of his generation. Davy began his hurling career at club level with Sixmilebridge, Co Clare and then broke on to the club's adult team as a 17-year old going on to win the All Ireland Club Championship.
Fitzgerald's club career ended in 2011 but he went on to coach Waterford, Clare and then Wexford to great success. He is a co-creator of Ireland's Fittest Family as well as being one of the coaches.
Davy is renowned for his effervescent personality. He is passionate and committed, emotional and driven and he credits his strength of character from being bullied as a teenager. "Did they make me stronger? They did, without any shadow of a doubt." The All-Ireland winning manager said that bullying was "something I cannot tolerate" and urged those responsible to "look within yourself and say 'Listen, I'm not going there again and I'm not going to make someone feel like that again'". Davy often talks of building resilience to overcome hurdles and challenges.
And finally, we have Róisín Lafferty who is the Founder and Creative Director of Kingston Lafferty Design (KLD) in Dublin since 2010. Believing in the power of creative collaboration, Róisín has gathered a team of talented designers, contractors, and craftsmen around her, and in those ten years has shaken up the interior design industry in Ireland. Known for her fearless use of colour and materials, her designs are innovative, experimental, and playful. Róisín employs a holistic approach to her design, designing all aspects of her work, and is a firm believer in the power of design to enhance people's lives, seeking to evoke curiosity and imagination with her work and awaken possibilities.
Róisín has been passionate about design all her life and takes inspiration from the world around her. She is recognised as one of Ireland's leading creatives and has received a string of prestigious accolades and awards both in Ireland and Internationally. Her work has featured in many Irish and international publications, including Elle Decoration, Australian Vogue, Architectural Digest, Living ETC and The Wall Street Journal to name a few.
We look forward to hearing from all our awesome speakers and we hope that you will be inspired and motivated by them.


The terms of the 55th Levy Scheme (1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017) were determined by the Secretary of State on 3 December 2015 after an agreement between HBLB and Bookmakers' Committee could not be reached. The Secretary of State directed that the terms of the 54th Levy Scheme should continue to have effect for the 55th Levy Scheme.
A copy of the 55th Levy Scheme is available here and is also summarised in the table below.

Q: Why does the regex not capture the initial word? Python Why does my regex pattern not capture the word before the preposition?
My regex pattern is trying to capture Proper Nouns that have prepositions after them.
For instance:
• Academy of Management --> Academy of
• McGraw Hill Foundation of Books --> Foundation of
For the following text:

'The Academy of Management Entrepreneurship Division and McGraw Hill present the annual award to individuals who develop and implement an innovation in entrepreneurship pedagogy for either graduate or undergraduate education.'

pp = r'[A-Z][A-Za-z]+\s+\b(for|of|in|by)\b(?=\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+)'

x2 = re.findall(pp,test)

x2
outputs:
'of'
Why doesn't it output 'Academy of'?

A: Just put a capture group for the word before the preposition:
pp = r'([A-Z][A-Za-z]+)\s+\b(for|of|in|by)\b(?=\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+)'
Or if you want to capture the whole word/preposition string:
pp = r'([A-Z][A-Za-z]+\s+\b(?:for|of|in|by))\b(?=\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+)'

A: A capturing group is a section of a regular expression enclosed in parentheses ( ). They are used to extract specific sections from a matching expression. It looks like you've encountered them by chance, as you're using one to match "for", "of", "in" or "by".
When you have one capturing group in your expression (as in your question), re.findall will return a list of matches for that group. At the moment, you don't have any group around the first part of your regular expression. If you want to capture it as well, you must also enclose it in some parentheses:
pp=r'([A-Z][A-Za-z]+\s+\b(for|of|in|by))\b(?=\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+)'
#    ^                                 ^
re.findall(pp,test)

returns:
[('Academy of', 'of')]

Now re.findall has returned a list of tuples because there are now multiple capturing groups. The elements of the tuple appear in the order that the groups begin.
If you don't want to also match the other group, you can change it to be non-capturing:
(?:for|of|in|by)

Then the only thing that will be captured is ['Academy of']. Although now you're left with only one capture group, so you can dispense with the parentheses entirely and re.findall will return anything matching the full regular expression.
pp=r'[A-Z][A-Za-z]+\s+\b(?:for|of|in|by)\b(?=\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+)'

A: The actual regex search is working as you'd expect. What's tripping you up is the fact that there's a capture group introduced by the parentheses around for|of|in|by.
From the re.findall() docs:

If one or more groups are present in the pattern, return a list of groups.

Here is how you can fix this:
pp = r'[A-Z][A-Za-z]+\s+\b(?:for|of|in|by)\b(?=\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+)'
                           ^^

The (?:...) is a non-capture group. With this, re.findall() will return the entire match.

A: From the documentation for re.findall:

If one or more groups are present in the pattern, return a list of groups; this will be a list of tuples if the pattern has more than one group.

In the case of your pattern, you have one capturing group (for|of|in|by) and one non-capturing group (?=\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+) (non-capturing because of the question mark).
If you want to return 'Academy of' as  single string, just make the capturing group non-capturing:
pp = r'[A-Z][A-Za-z]+\s+\b(?:for|of|in|by)\b(?=\s+[A-Z][A-Za-z]+)'
                           ^
re.findall(pp,test) # prints ['Academy of']

Is Valentine's Day, everybody is in love, buy presents and other things. But maybe you want your computer to be in love too. Put one of these beautiful LOVE wallpapers from deviantart and make you PC happy.
It's needless to say that artists have really become very good. Even the grey wallpaper with « Love » (and the 3 above the V) is neat. Even the one from vladstudio.
Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand a lot approximately this, like you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel that you just can do with some p.c. to drive the message house a little bit, but instead of that, that is magnificent blog. A fantastic read. I will definitely be back.
Lots of thanks for another great article. I've been checking this site regularly for several days, and it's now one of my favorite sites! There are so many blogs out there, its nice to find a good one!. I own a site that is very similar, is there any way you would write a guest post on it? Shoot me an email if you are interested!

Sophia Khamis
Muungano & History documentation team
From: Ugeni, Machakos
Interview date & place: 6 May 2016, Nairobi
Interviewed by: Kate Lines
I'm Sophia Khamis from Machakos, Ugeni. From a group of young modern sisters. I'm saver number 4. I joined Muungano in the year 2013. They came to Machakos, there was this training going on on leadership and entrepreneurship. We were being trained 4 days in Nakuru. After that we had mentors, local and international. I had a mentor, Hannah Carlson, she was from Australia.
What has it been like documenting the history of Muungano?
I got to understand more about Muungano. There are stories I didn't know about Muungano, how it started, how people struggled for it. As for us we just joined recently, 2013, it's 3 years down the line. So there are a lot of things out of that 20 years that we've missed out. Doing the history has motivated me a lot, it has inspired me a lot. I've seen the pioneers of Muungano, they have shared their bitter stories, their sad stories, their happy moments. It has built me big time. I think it has inspired me a lot.
What have you learnt?
The story about Emmy, Miss Koch, of Korogocho, has been the best story and the one for... there are two stories actually. The one for Anastasia and the one for Emmy. They made me believe that as a woman I can do it. They made me believe that nothing is impossible. Anastasia has been a role model for me. She inspires me a lot. Her stories always really inspire me. The stories that she tells makes me understand Muungano better. And as a woman and as a mother she has made me realise I can do it. She has been in Muungano for the longest time possible and she is still in Muungano. So it has made me realise that being a woman... the strength of a woman... the strength I have as a woman... As for Emmy she made me realise that dealing with the community is not an easy task, which I have been afraid all along. I've been afraid to move, because I was always scared of the community, what they were saying, they are always pushing me back. But with Emmy's story I believe I can do it, I believe I can make it.
I think that Muungano has a bright future. Now, it has all generations, the old, the young. I would love in the next 20 years we involve a lot of young people. And the old ones they should also keep on motivating the young ones. They should inspire them, they should mentor them. Because Muungano has a bright future. It has a lot for the community to offer. I think Muungano is like a stepping stone for us slum dwellers.
In the next 20 years I would love Muungano to be in all settlements. In all slum settlements in Kenya. I would love...what I'm doing. Now you see the things that I'm doing now are what the people in the university are doing. But for me... I come from a settlement. I haven't gone to the university. But now I feel like a university graduate. Because Muungano has taught me a lot. I can blog, I can do data collection. I can do mapping. I can do profiling. I document. I think I can even speak fluently. I think Muungano has done a lot for me. And I would like it to do for many other young people out there, because I think it's what they need.

Here Is What Radiation Can Do To The Human Body
This post shows the image of the burnt body of Hiroshi Ouchi who was thirty five years of age and was unfortunate enough to end up on the wrong side of a horrendous accident a uranium reprocessing facility based in Tokaimura. The irony of the situation is that Ouchi used to work in this northeastern part of Tokyo until this unfortunate incident happened in 1999. The reason behind this fatal accident has been known to be the deposition of uranyl nitrate solution. This solution carried about 16.6kg worth of uranium that exceeded the critical mass that was set by authorities.
A total of three workers at the facility found themselves exposed to a great number of strong radiation in shape of neutron beams. As soon as the beams ripped his body, Ouchi died an instant death as those incoming radiation absolutely annihilated each chromosome in his body. When Ouchi was rushed to the emergency room at University of Tokyo, he was reported to look relatively well for a person who was exposed to that level of strong radiation. Infact, he was even able to talk to the doctors present in the emergency room of the hospital until the skin began to come off.
Ouchi's state of health deteriorated as the radiation attacked the chromosomes in his cells. He was kept alive for more than three months during which the skin continued to fall and blister. Each day his body would lose roughly 20 litres of fluid and internal organs kept getting worse by the minute. While he was kept in medical coma, the doctors closely monitored his condition. The medical treatments that followed included: skin grafts, blood transfusions and stem cell transplants. Inspite of the lack of knowledge of doctors in their treatment, Ouchi was bound lose the fight due to the hazardous amount of radiation.

A magnitude 7.0 earthquake has hit the Pacific coast of Chile, the US Geological Survey said. As a preventive measure, Chilean authorities have ordered a partial evacuation of the northern coastline.
The epicentre of the quake was located 70 km northwest of Iquique in northern Chile, at a depth of 32 km, the US Geological Survey said. No injuries or damage have been reported so far.
The National Office of Emergency of the Interior Ministry has ordered an evacuation of the coastline between the northern towns of Arica and Tocopilla, over the fears of a possible minor tsunami. The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center however said there was no tsunami expected.
About 80,000 people were evacuated in the Tarapaca region, 3,000 in Arica and Parinacota region and 22,000 in Antofagasta region, said ONEMI's national director, Ricardo Toro, adding that the sea had risen by almost 13 inches.
The evacuation alert was lifted several hours after the initial quake.
Chile is located in an area of geological instability and is prone to powerful earthquakes. A major 8.8 magnitude quake hit the country back in 2010, devastating the center of the country and claiming over 500 lives.

Today's "Newbie Tip" is learning some basics about the "Command Line Interface" or as it's mostly referred to, "Command Line". The command line gives the user the ability to interact with the operating system by typing via a text terminal.
I started learning computers back when DOS was all that was available to me, so I was comfortable with the command line. When Windows 95 was released my command line usage dropped considerably because there simply wasn't the "need" for it that there once was. I've gone from using the command line all the time to using it very seldom because GUI's were getting better and becoming more wide spread.
Even though I am a strong advocate of learning as much as you can about using the command line, I admit I like my GUI a lot (and Compiz of course).
I love the command line. However, most people can't just live on the command line, GUI's can be pretty useful :P. I find myself spawning GUI programs from the command line a lot, and here are two tips which make doing that a pleasant experience:

Diablo IV Quarterly Update—June 2022
Blizzard Entertainment 13 June 2022
Hello and welcome to the mid-year Diablo IV Quarterly Update. We hope you enjoyed last quarter's behind the scenes look at the art of Sanctuary and its Dungeons. That blog and our previous updates are available here if you missed out.
I'd also like to take a moment to congratulate Diablo Immortal on its launch. The Immortal team worked incredibly hard to bring Diablo to life on mobile, and it's exciting to have another way to enjoy Diablo.
Today, we're going to look at the final launch class: the Necromancer. Now that it's been announced on the big screen, we can jump into some of the grittier details and mechanics of the class. You can think of this blog as a companion to that announcement, with our Lead Class Designer Adam Jackson doing a deep dive into the core playstyles of the Necromancer, some of its skills, and its unique class mechanic: Book of the Dead. We'll also look at a selection of the incredible armor and weapons that Necromancers can use.
Diablo IV is committed to the principle of player choice. It shapes how we approach many of our systems, from character customization, to the density and layout of our open world, to the design of our classes and builds. As you'll see below, the Book of the Dead focuses on this idea of choice and what kind of Necromancer you want to be.
We hope you enjoy this update and look forward to your thoughts and reactions. Later this year you can expect to hear more about how we plan to support Diablo IV after launch, including our plans for Seasons. We're grateful to have you with us on this journey.
Thank you for playing the games we make.
-Joe Shely,
Game Director, Diablo IV
Greetings, Heroes of Sanctuary!
Today we are thrilled to announce that a fan favorite, the Necromancer, is once again returning to slay and subjugate their enemies with necrotic magics. We had a blast working on this iconic class, and we can't wait to get it into your hands.
We know that the Necromancer has a storied history in our franchise, and we are taking a lot of care to give players an experience that lives up to the hype. We have also spent a considerable amount of time making sure that fans of the Diablo II, Diablo III, and Diablo Immortal versions of the Necromancer see something familiar with what we have to offer while at the same time creating something unique for Diablo IV. Read on to see what the Necromancer is all about!
Class Features
Playstyles
The Necromancer has two different types of resources that they use: Essence and Corpses. Essence is their primary resource, which restores itself automatically at a slow rate. Using Basic skills on the Necromancer will also grant Essence, allowing them to cast their skills more often. Corpses, on the other hand, are the leftover remains of enemies who die near the Necromancer. These remains can be used to summon skeletal minions or to power various other skills, such as Corpse Explosion. In addition to appearing when enemies are killed near the Necromancer, Corpses can also be generated via various effects, giving you additional control over how often you want to interact with them. While there will be plenty of Corpses at a baseline level, we're aware that some players will want to lean into this resource, and as a result have included plenty of options to ensure that they are not left wanting.
As far as weapons and other unique gear, Necromancers use Swords, Daggers, Wands, Focuses, and Shields. In addition to these, they are also the only class that can use Scythes.
Additionally, what self-respecting Necromancer would be running around the world of Sanctuary without Curses? We're happy to say that you will be able to put these nasty debuffs on your enemies to your heart's content with skills like Decrepify and Iron Maiden making a return.
The Necromancer has four high-level playstyles that players can choose between. These playstyles are Bone, Darkness, Blood, and the Army.
Bone skills are relatively physical in nature, and thus benefit more heavily from effects such as Critical Strike. These skills also benefit from having and spending large amounts of Essence, as they have various effects that can cause each of their individual attacks to be even more powerful.
Bone Spirit is back in Diablo IV, and it now has a unique twist that exemplifies what Bone skills are all about. Bone Spirit not only has a cooldown, but also consumes all Essence the player currently has. Once cast, a spirit of bone is conjured that seeks out the nearest enemy. Upon reaching them, the spirit will explode, dealing a high amount of damage to the target and all other enemies in the area. This damage is increased by a certain percentage per point of Essence spent, meaning that players who spend the maximum amount of Essence will deal a significant amount of damage to enemies hit. This skill can also be upgraded so that when it Critically Strikes its cooldown is significantly reduced, meaning that players who commit to generating lots of Essence while also having a high Critical Strike chance will get a lot of damage from this skill.
Another Bone skill that Necromancers will have access to is Bone Prison. When the player casts Bone Prison, they slam their weapon into the ground, calling forth a circular wall of Bone to surround the targeted enemy or area. Enemies cannot move through this space while the Bone Prison persists, which makes it incredibly versatile and able to be combined with many other skills, even those that are not themed around Bone. Bone Prison is great for blocking off hallways, trapping groups of enemies inside to set them up for an AoE attack, or for simply sectioning off a group of enemies to deal with later while you handle higher priority targets.
Darkness skills use Shadow magic to overwhelm their enemies. These kinds of attacks tend to be DoT-based or attack multiple times in a short window, with various benefits and rewards being granted for damaging enemies in this way. Darkness skills also tend to have various debuffs and crowd control elements so that they can keep their enemies at bay while they die a slow, painful death.
Decompose is a Basic Darkness skill that allows you to channel dark magic onto enemies, dealing damage to them while also generating Essence. Unlike other Basic skills, Decompose also periodically summons Corpses, making it much easier to ensure that you have a steady supply on hand to use for summoning Skeletons.
Another Darkness skill is Blight. Blight launches a ball of dark energy in a direction. Upon hitting an enemy or expiring, it deals an explosion of damage while leaving behind a defiled area, dealing periodic damage to enemies inside over time. This skill deals a high amount of damage to enemies who are standing in place, whether that's due to fighting your undead minions or to being contained via other skills like Bone Prison.
Necromancers can also use the power of Blood magic to siphon the life from their enemies. Not only do these skills tend to have defensive-oriented benefits, they also have many ways to turn that defense into offense for the player, empowering them and rewarding them for having large amounts of maximum Health as well as keeping their current Health total high.
Blood Surge draws a small amount of blood from nearby enemies to the Necromancer that then expels a blood nova, dealing damage near the player's location. The damage of the blood nova is increased per enemy drained, which incentivizes you to be in the middle of a pack of enemies for maximum effect.
Another Blood skill is Blood Mist. Upon activation, the Necromancer disperses into a bloody mist, becoming temporarily Immune to all damage while draining the life of any nearby enemies that they pass through. This is a universally powerful defensive skill that can give you the time you need to regroup in those dire moments where you become overwhelmed.
As you would expect, Necromancers can summon the undead to do their bidding. We also allow players to specialize into empowering their army as much as possible, which includes various kinds of Skeletons as well as the classic Golem. One advantage to this method of playing is that it can easily incorporate the benefits of Bone, Darkness, or Blood skills, allowing you to have a great deal of customization to how you want to interact with your army.
As an example, we believe it will be perfectly viable to have a player pursue a Darkness themed army build with Decompose as their Basic skill to generate Corpses, as there is an obvious synergy there. However, if the player wishes to generate Corpses via other means, they can just as easily take a nostalgia trip to the year 2000 and just chuck Bone Spears at their enemies from a distance while opting for all of the Bone skill synergies that the Necromancer has to offer.
We went through a lot of iteration on how we want the experience of summoning the undead to feel for the player, and how much of their skill bar should be dedicated to this part of the class. To that end, we've come up with what we feel is the best possible version to ensure that players have as much customization as possible over not only their army itself, but also in which other skills they want to use to support their own unique playstyle.
If a player wants to have the maximum number of summoned units possible then they will only have to dedicate two buttons to their skill bar: one to raising Skeletons and the other for their Golem. The Raise Skeleton button is a one-stop shop to raise all the different Skeletons a player can summon, and the Golem button is used to command the Golem to use a unique effect that is dependent on the type of Golem that is currently active. With this setup, we've found a great balance between having the necessary tools for raising and commanding a Necromancer army while also leaving room for player expression in what additional skills they want to put on their bar.
Speaking of armies, what self-respecting Necromancer isn't wandering around with one? Well, actually, that might be you! While we absolutely have the full support you would expect to fulfill all your undead summoning needs, we are also giving some love to players who want a more independent playstyle.
Cue the Book of the Dead, the Necromancer's unique class mechanic. Right from the moment you log in, you will start with an extra skill on your bar—Raise Skeleton. With this button, you will immediately be able to raise undead warriors to fight by your side. In addition to this, you will have access to the Book of the Dead. This is a space where you can customize your army (or lack thereof), with increasing options as you level your character.
There are three customizable summons in this space: Skeletal Warriors, Skeletal Mages, and the Golem. Each summon also has one of three specializations that you can choose from. As an example, you can have your Skeletal Warriors be Skirmishers, Defenders, or Reapers. Skirmishers are a more standard warrior but have increased damage and reduced Health, Defenders have bonus Health, and Reapers have slower attacks, deal damage in a AoE in front of them, and have a special wind-up attack that deals a high amount of damage. In addition to this, each specialized unit in the army has unique upgrades available to them, giving you even more customization over how each unit in their army functions in their overall playstyle. These units and upgrades will have synergies with the various playstyles mentioned above, as well as add other potential ways to play.
In addition to all this customization, we have also added the ability for players to sacrifice different components of their army for personal benefits. Next to each unit type in the Book of the Dead is an extra option to sacrifice the ability to summon that unit in exchange for a personal, permanent buff. These buffs are carefully designed and placed so that players can mix and match having none, some, or all the possible summoned units while still having relevant options to enhance their build.
Our goal with this system is that there should be something for everyone to be excited about. There are relevant, powerful options to choose from whether players want to play with the full army, part of the army, or even for those who wish to forgo their army completely and play solo. We've had a blast playing with this system so far, and we're excited to see the various combinations that you all come up with to push your Necromancers to the next level.
We're so excited to be able to bring the Necromancer to Diablo IV, and we can't wait to get it into your hands. Whether you're a veteran player who's put in thousands of hours over many years, or a new adventurer in the world of Sanctuary, we hope you will have a lot of fun with what we've been able to create.
As always, please leave us your feedback on what we've shown you so far. While we're confident that we're on the right track, we know that the best ideas and the best games are created with input from the community. Thank you all so much for your patience, and for joining us on this epic journey through the world of Sanctuary—we promise it will be worth the wait.

Lead Class Designer, Diablo IV

New Report Reveals The Reason Why The Pelicans Fired Their Former GM Dell Demps
By Nico Martinez
The New Orleans Pelicans have been decimated by Anthony Davis rumors for the past year. But when he made his trade request public just a little over a week prior to this season's deadline, things got a little out of control.
Davis' GM Rich Paul was seemingly making moves and pulling strings from behind the scenes, in an effort to move Davis to Los Angeles. Meanwhile, others around the league were pressuring the Pels on what to do with their franchise star.
These outside influences are what, unfortunately, cost former Pelicans' GM Dell Demps to lose his job, via ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
"Benson has been angry over the Davis trade demand and her belief that 'outside forces' are trying to push the franchise into decisions that don't make sense, league sources said. Her mandate has been to 'take back control from outside forces,' one league source told ESPN. Benson has been adamant with the organization about finding a pathway to sustainable winning in one of the league's smallest markets and plans to be aggressive in pursuing the best available candidates to oversee basketball operations, league sources said."
Whether or not it's coming from outside sources, it's impossible to argue that the Pelicans have not made very solid decisions lately.
Other than DeMarcus Cousins (who didn't stick around), the Pels have been unable to lure another star alongside Davis, probably due to their reputation as a franchise as a whole.
Obviously, the team is on the verge of a complete overhaul, one that hopes to take the reigns back of a dysfunctional franchise.

I did not know that banks also have interns and that private jobs in the banking sector are also hot. But then, you learn something every day. Anyways, it does not matter coz most of the bank aspirants take it like internship and don't prepare for it well at all. How it can be wished that most of the aspirants take these exams seriously and not only be better prepared but increase the reputation of the exam as well. While it is understandable that most of the aspirants for such exams could be jobbers or students, that really is no excuse, especially in the world where they are plenty of IBPS Bank PO and SBI Clerical Exam Preparation courses online available as well. Wish more people took advantage of that.

The Man Argentines Love To Hate Is An American Judge
Lourdes Garcia-Navarro
For an American, it probably would be a really hard Jeopardy question, but in Argentina, pretty much anyone you stop can answer this: Who is the judge in New York at the center of Argentina's default crisis?
Pablo de Luca, a systems engineer walking down a downtown Buenos Aires street recently responded easily: Judge Thomas P. Griesa.
"Griesa is an enemy for us," he says.
Georgina Segui, an office secretary stopped while she was doing errands, also knew the answer.
"We are constantly bombarded on TV with the name Griesa, Griesa, Griesa," she said.
One of the main people doing the "bombarding" is Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez.
"No financial vulture nor judicial raptor is going to extort money from this president," she said in her most recent speech.
In Argentina, posters with his image, with a vulture on his back, have been pasted up along the streets. There also have been endless articles about the judge, whose office declined to speak with NPR.
The Argentine press constantly cites a little-known U.S. website called The Robing Room, where lawyers give anonymous reviews of the judges they appear before. Griesa's weren't exactly complimentary to begin with, and since the Argentina case exploded into the headlines, others have written in, excoriating him for his rulings. In Argentina, the comments have been taken as evidence that he is unfit for the job.
"These things happen, and all of a sudden these people become household names," says Alan Cibils, the chair of the political economy department at the Nacional University of General Sarmiento in Buenos Aires.
In many ways, rightly or wrongly, Cibils says, Griesa has become a symbol in Argentina of all the problems of the international financial system. He notes that whatever you think of Griesa's position, his rulings were supported by the U.S. appeals court, and the Supreme Court refused to hear Argentina's case.
So this is the backstory to the unlikely infamy of a federal judge in his 80s who reportedly plays the harpsichord: Argentina defaulted on its debt in 2001, essentially declaring bankruptcy and saying it couldn't pay its creditors. At the time, Ciblis says so-called vulture hedge funds swooped in and bought Argentina's bonds — some of which were issued in New York — for pennies on the dollar.
"These guys really are bottom feeders: They go out there, they buy bonds of countries as they are about to default or after they've defaulted, and then cash in — or litigate to cash in — on the full amount," says Ciblis.
Griesa's ruling supporting their claims has had far-reaching effects: Some countries, including Mexico, have changed the language in new bond contracts to make it harder for vulture funds to target them — and according to Ciblis, developing nations are less likely to issue their bonds in New York, where they might be vulnerable to one judge's opinions.

15 Fun Team Building Activities and Games for Kids
Sports and other games are usually played in groups and team effort is absolutely essential in that regard. But not all kids are good at sports and may miss out on understanding how team dynamics comes into play. There are certain activities that can be organized, which are simpler as compared to sports, and can teach your kids to work together.
The young age of kids is the perfect time for them to begin inculcating the core principles of teamwork, co-operation, and thinking outside the box.
Group activities help the kids interact with one another which also adds to their own self-esteem. Having help at hand, they can learn to strive to go beyond what was expected by rallying the team with them.
1. Communication-Based Games
These games rely heavily on being able to communicate ideas amongst each other. This is where children know which ideas can be easily explained, which kids respond better, and how they can sculpt the ideas to better suit others.
2. Teamwork Based Games
These games are based on having a cooperative effort to achieve a goal. By understanding each other's opinions and choosing the right one to take the team ahead is how kids learn to resolve situations. Keeping a positive attitude to achieve the goals is the key in such games.
3. Trust Building Games
Carrying out the motions of the game in an experience that is shared with everyone forms the core of such games. Interpersonal skills that develop faith and trust in each other help build the game. By understanding which kids relate to you and who can build strong relationships with the other, a huge amount of social understanding is gleaned from kids.
Here are some fun activities for children that will help them engage and interact with their peers as a team.
1. Dream Drawing
All kids come together to one place with chalks or crayons and start drawing their dream objects. Some could draw a spaceship, others could draw a dragon, and so on. Once everyone is done with their drawing, kids can work together to choose the drawings and create a wonderful story from it.
How it Helps Kids
Dream drawing primarily stokes creativity in expressing ideas. Later, it involves discussion and skills of collaboration to work towards a common goal.
2. Dragon Weapon
There is a dragon, usually the facilitator, who must be defeated. For that, all kids have to work together to create a powerful weapon. Each kid needs to develop a small powerful object. These objects can later be discussed among the group and put together to create a weapon which can fire these powers at the dragon.
Dragon weapon helps all kids understand how important it is to work towards a singular goal. If two powers end up being similar, kids can then work amongst themselves to combine them into a stronger power. Leadership and collaboration skills play a huge role.
3. Tell Me Your Life
A bowl of cards is passed around among the kids. On the cards are emotions, either happy, sad, excited, scared, and so on. Based on the emotion, a kid has 30 seconds to search for a memory of their life that can be connected to that emotion. Then, the kid ends up talking about it to everyone around.
Being brave with vulnerability and making connections can be great lessons that kids learn from this game. There might be other kids in the group who have felt similar emotions and these can then bond together to be great friends.
4. Circle Space
A large circle is drawn and all kids are supposed to stand inside the circle, with their bags and other properties. If they can all stand, reduce the size of the circle and repeat. The kids will start leaving out luggage, or some might fall outside. Keep going on until all kids fail to fit inside it
Problem-solving skills and making use of three-dimensional space can be easily learnt from this game. Moreover, it teaches kids to put people first instead of material objects.
5. Human Alphabet
Kids have to work together to quickly form the letter shown by the facilitator. Kids can work in teams to achieve this or simply play by pairing up instantaneously. The kids who can make the letter quickly using their bodies get points.
Understanding the shape and structure of letters is extremely important as a communication device. At the same time, being able to look for creative solutions is key to winning the game.
6. The Sound of Silence
One blindfolded kid is chosen to stand in the centre of a circle formed by other kids. A tin box filled with marbles is handed to one child. The kids in the circle are supposed to pass the tin box around without making any sound. If the central kid can hear the smallest sound and point at the tin box correctly, the kid who has the box replaces the kid in the centre.
For the kid in the centre, being able to listen sharply and making informed guesses using cognitive abilities is a learning experience. For the kids in the circle, they can all work together in figuring out alternative ways to transfer the box without making noise.
7. Save the Egg
This is a slightly messy game that requires lots of eggs and lots of supplementary material like cardboards, thermocol sheets, bubble wrap, packing material, and so on. Kids are split into teams and each team has the same objective. Create a package such that when the egg is wrapped in it and dropped to the ground, it stays safe.
By choosing the right material, kids learn to think in advance and hypothesize the possibilities that can take place. Resolving conflicts amongst each other and thinking creatively about an innovative solution can all yield a great result.
8. Walk the Talk
Kids are split into teams and one kid from each team is selected. The kid is blindfolded and placed in a common area with others. Each team then has to direct their team member to reach a particular point before any other kid.
The amount of noise and clamour the activity creates teaches kids to focus on the right instructions and follow them appropriately. For teams, they can come up with simpler techniques to convey directions to the other player appropriately.
9. Cool Currency
Gather together as many coins as possible of as many denominations and all possible currencies. Split the kids into teams and let each team pick out a coin. The kids have to study the emblem of the coin and then come up with their own emblem, coin, and currency.
How it Helps Kids-
Coins have emblems that have meanings to them as well as certain lines or mottos engraved to it. Kids can work together in figuring out their common beliefs giving rise to the engravings.
10. Make My Story
Gather a stack of newspapers and let the kids go through them to choose a favourite panel of their choice from the comic strips. All kids should keep the panels to themselves. Then group the kids together in teams and let them show their panels to the team members. The team then should work together in creating the best possible story using the panels that they have.
This is an intensely creative activity which, at the same time, requires problems resolutions and collaborative effort. Kids can get extremely attached to their own panels and want to make that the centre of the story. This is where kids also learn to make compromises for the bigger picture.
11. Bridge Builders
This game can be played using Lego blocks. Split the kids into teams and each team into two groups. All the groups have to construct one half of a bridge by themselves without looking at anybody else. Once they are prepared, they have to figure out if their half fits together with the half of the other group from the same team.
The teams cannot see each other's bridges but they can talk with each other. Communicating clearly and in detailed terms of how to build the other half is where kids learn to work together and collaborate in the absence of complete information.
12. Listen Carefully
Kids work in sequence. One kid has to talk for a short time on any topic of his choice. The kid that follows has to repeat exactly what the kid said as close as possible. The kids then reverse roles and the game continues.
Exercising their memory well and making associations between words is how kids can learn to listen carefully to the other kid while understanding the meaning of their words.
13. Don't Wake the Dragon
Kids have to quickly arrange themselves in the increasing order of height without talking to each other or making any sounds within a short period of time. By the time the dragon (facilitator) wakes up, the kids should be ready to shout "Boo!"
Communicating by making use of physical movements and working towards a common goal by observing the actions of others can help in non-verbal communication to a great degree.
14. Tallest Tower
By making use of a variety of objects before them, each kid has to make their tower and try to make it as tall as possible.
Thinking quickly on their feet and trying to visualise the tower in advance helps with planning skills and thinking outside the box.
15. Juggling Groups
Just like juggling alone, this is where the entire group works together to juggle as many balls as possible. Each kid tries to juggle balls for himself and pass on the rest to the next. The team that can juggle the most balls wins.
While exercising the motor skills, each team member learns to keep an eye out for the other and prepare in advance to keep the balls juggling without letting them fall down.
Team building activities for young kids are not only exciting but are full of learning lessons that are necessary to be responsible adults. Working together and being socially open to each other goes a long way in developing the interpersonal skills that the kids will require later in their lives.

Homestay in Montreal – Quebec – Canada
Montreal (Listeni/ˌmʌntriːˈɒl/; French: Montréal, pronounced [ˈmõʁeal] ( listen)) is a city in the Canadian province of Quebec. It is the largest city in the province, the second-largest in Canada and the 9th-largest in North America. Originally called Ville-Marie, or "City of Mary", it is named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill in the heart of the city. The city is on the Island of Montreal, which took its name from the same source as the city, and a few much smaller peripheral islands, the largest of which is Île Bizard.
In 2011 the city had a population of 1,649,519. Montreal's metropolitan area (CMA) (land area 4,259 square kilometres (1,644 sq mi)) had a population of 3,824,221 and a population of 1,886,481 in the urban agglomeration, all of the municipalities on the Island of Montreal included. Current 2014 estimates of the CMA place the metropolitan area of Montreal at 4.1 million.
French is the city's official language and is the language spoken at home, as Quebec French, by 56.9% of the population of the city, followed by English at 18.6% and 19.8% other languages (in the 2006 census). In the larger Montreal Census Metropolitan Area, 67.9% of the population speaks French at home, compared to 16.5% who speak English. Montreal is one of the most bilingual cities in Quebec and Canada with 56% of the population able to speak both English and French. Montreal is the second largest primarily French-speaking city in the world, after Paris.
Montreal was named a UNESCO City of Design. Historically the commercial capital of Canada, it was surpassed in population and economic strength by Toronto in the 1970s. It remains an important centre of commerce, aerospace, finance, pharmaceuticals, technology, design, culture, tourism, gaming, film and world affairs. It is ranked 16th out of 140 cities in The Economist Intelligence Unit's Global Liveability Ranking.
In 2009, Montreal was named North America's leading host city for international association events, according to the 2009 preliminary rankings of the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA). In 2015, QS World University Rankings ranked Montreal the 8th-best place in the world to be a university student.
CultureSports
Montreal was referred to as "Canada's Cultural Capital" by Monocle magazine. The city is Canada's centre for French language television productions, radio, theatre, film, multimedia, and print publishing. Montreal's many cultural communities have given it a distinct local culture.

As a North American city, Montreal shares many cultural characteristics with the rest of the continent. It has a tradition of producing both jazz and rock music. The city has also produced much talent in the fields of visual arts, theatre, music, and dance. Yet, being at the confluence of the French and the English traditions, Montreal has developed a unique and distinguished cultural face. Another distinctive characteristic of cultural life is the animation of its downtown, particularly during summer, prompted by cultural and social events, particularly festivals. The city's largest festival is the Just for Laughs comedy festival, which is the largest in the world of its kind. Other popular festivals include the Montreal International Jazz Festival, Montreal World Film Festival, Les FrancoFolies de Montréal, Nuits d'Afrique, Pop Montreal, Divers/Cité, Fierté Montréal and the Montreal Fireworks Festival.
Saint Joseph's Oratory is the largest church in Canada.
A cultural heart of classical art and the venue for many summer festivals, the Place des Arts is a complex of different concert and theatre halls surrounding a large square in the eastern portion of downtown. Place des Arts has the headquarters of one of the world's foremost orchestras, the Montreal Symphony Orchestra. The Orchestre Métropolitain du Grand Montréal and the chamber orchestra I Musici de Montréal are two other well-regarded Montreal orchestras. Also performing at Place des Arts are the Opéra de Montréal and the city's chief ballet company Les Grands Ballets Canadiens. Internationally recognized avant-garde dance troupes such as Compagnie Marie Chouinard, La La La Human Steps, O Vertigo, and the Fondation Jean-Pierre Perreault have toured the world and worked with international popular artists on videos and concerts. The unique choreography of these troupes has paved the way for the success of the world-renowned Cirque du Soleil.
Nicknamed la ville aux cent clochers (the city of a hundred steeples), Montreal is renowned for its churches. As Mark Twain noted, "This is the first time I was ever in a city where you couldn't throw a brick without breaking a church window." The city has four Roman Catholic basilicas: Mary, Queen of the World Cathedral, the aforementioned Notre-Dame Basilica, St Patrick's Basilica, and Saint Joseph's Oratory. The Oratory is the largest church in Canada, with the second largest copper dome in the world, after Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
Olympic Stadium in Montreal, featuring the tallest leaning tower in the world at 175.5 metres (575.8 ft)
The most popular sport is ice hockey. The professional hockey team, the Montreal Canadiens, is one of the Original Six teams of the National Hockey League (NHL), and boasts an NHL-record 24 Stanley Cup championships. The Canadiens' most recent Stanley Cup victory came in 1993. They have major rivalries with the Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins both of which are also Original Six hockey teams. The Canadiens have played at the Bell Centre since 1996. Prior to that they played at the Montreal Forum.
The Montreal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League (CFL) play at Molson Stadium on the campus of McGill University for their regular-season games. Late season and playoff games are played at the much larger, enclosed Olympic Stadium, which also played host to the 2008 Grey Cup. The Alouettes have won the Grey Cup a total of 7 times, most recently in 2010. The McGill Redmen, Concordia Stingers, and Université de Montréal Carabins play in the CIS university football league.
Montreal has a storied baseball history. The city was the home of the minor-league Montreal Royals of the International League until 1960. In 1946, Jackie Robinson broke the baseball colour barrier with the Royals in an emotionally difficult year; Robinson was forever grateful for the local fans' fervent support. Major League Baseball came to town in the form of the Montreal Expos in 1969. They played their games at Jarry Park until moving into Olympic Stadium in 1977. After 36 years in Montreal, the team relocated to Washington, D.C. in 2005 and re-branded themselves as the Washington Nationals.
The Montreal Impact are the city's professional soccer team. They play at a soccer-specific stadium called Saputo Stadium. They recently joined North America's biggest soccer league, Major League Soccer in 2012. The Montreal games of the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup and 2014 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup were held at Olympic Stadium, and the venue will also host Montreal games in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Montreal is the site of a high-profile auto racing event each year: the Canadian Grand Prix of Formula One (F1) racing. This race takes place on the famous Circuit Gilles Villeneuve on Île Notre-Dame. In 2009, the race was dropped from the Formula One calendar, to the chagrin of some fans, but the Canadian Grand Prix returned to the Formula 1 calendar in 2010. The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve also hosted a round of the Champ Car World Series from 2002–2007, and was home to the NAPA Auto Parts 200, a NASCAR Nationwide Series race, and the Montréal 200, a Grand Am Rolex Sports Car Series race.
Uniprix Stadium, built in 1993 on the site of Jarry Park, is used for the Rogers Cup men's and women's tennis tournaments. The men's tournament is a Masters 1000 event on the ATP Tour, and the women's tournament is a Premier tournament on the WTA Tour. The men's and women's tournaments alternate between Montreal and Toronto every year.
Montreal was the host of the 1976 Summer Olympic Games. The stadium cost $1.5 billion; with interest that figure ballooned to nearly $3 billion, and was only paid off in December 2006. Montreal also hosted the first ever World Outgames in the summer of 2006, attracting over 16,000 participants engaged in 35 sporting activities.
Montreal was the host city for the 17th unicycling world championship and convention (UNICON) in August 2014.

Q: Networking with Docker on Windows I used this official guide to set up Docker on a Windows 7 machine:
https://docs.docker.com/windows/started/
I successfully pulled an image from the docker hub and I can run my own docker image.
No I am stuck trying to run and access a webserver with docker on Windows. Apparently, behind boot2docker I can't reach my docker container the way I was used to.
Once I added -p 3007:80 to the docker run command, the port forwarding showed up in the container list (docker ps) as 0.0.0.0:3007 -> 80. And with -p 127.0.0.1:3007:80 I get a more meaningful ip address. I cannot, however, reach the container with a browser on the Windows host.
Moreover, docker inspect does not reveal an ip address for the running container (which also seems wrong).
I also tried --net=host to no avail.

A: Things changed a little with the introduction of Docker Toolbox. Now you do not directly interact with boot2docker, but instead use docker-machine. Although boot2docker still exists as VM there is no CLI-Tool any longer. It was replaced by Docker Machine.
Thus you should be able to get hold of the VM's IP address by typing: docker-machine ip <machine-name>. If you do have the default installation your machine name will be default.
With docker-machine active you can have a look which VM is currently active. With that name you can also use docker-machine inspect <machine-name>.
You can find more about Docker Machine in the official docs.

A: Things changed more than just a little by now: Docker supports Windows natively and Boot2Docker or Docker Toolbox aren´t needed anymore. You should start with Windows 10 (or Windows Server 2016) now.
Throughout my Docker on Windows journey I developed a best practice to check, if a webserver is accessible:

*

*Run your container (e.g. with your mentioned docker run -d -p hostport:containerport imagename)

*Shell into the container (e.g. with a Windows Container: docker exec -it containerName powershell or docker exec -it containerName bash, if you use Linux containers) and check, if iwr http://localhost:80 -UseBasicParsing gives you a good looking HTML and HTTP Status 200

*If 2. went fine (and only then), check the IP of your container (e.g. with docker network inspect dockerNetworkName, which´ll give you all your containers data including the internal IP addresses) and point your Browser to http://containerIP:containerPort.

*If 3. went fine (and again: only then), check if you could reach your webserver with http://localhost:containerPort (this maybe doesn´t work for Windows containers, because the localhost loopback isn´t working - although it could work on newer versions of Windows 10/Server 2016)

*Final step (if 1., 2. & 3. went fine, 4. optional), try to lookup your webserver from outside the Windows host (e.g. if you´re running a Windows host inside Virtual Box, mind the port forwarding configuration!)

Kaiser Permanente awarded blood pressure award…
Kaiser Permanente awarded blood pressure award from Kathleen Sebelius
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius speaks during a presentation at Kaiser's East Denver offices Monday.
By Jason Pohl | The Denver Post
PUBLISHED: September 17, 2012 at 2:06 pm | UPDATED: April 30, 2016 at 5:03 pm
Among Kaiser Permanente Colorado patients treated for high blood pressure, 82 percent have the life-threatening condition under control — up from 61 percent three years ago.
One of the largest health-care provider in the state credits the clinical progress to a system that helps identify patients who are at risk for hypertension and then works hard to get them in for regular blood pressure checks and treatment before they become seriously ill.
The program got the attention of federal officials.
On Monday, Kaiser received the 2012 Million Hearts Hypertension Control Champion award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
"You're not only improving health and saving lives right here in Colorado, but now you will be serving as a role model for the rest of the country," U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a crowd of mostly staff and patients at Kaiser's East Denver clinic.
Only one other health care provider in the U.S. — a medical clinic in Ellsworth, Wisc. — earned the distinction this year.
The award formally recognizes Kaiser's patient outreach through a vast system of electronic records.
Medical providers used special registries to identify patients at an increased risk for hypertension — a rapidly growing standard across the country.
From there, nurses and other staff reached out to patients through e-mail and phone calls, urging them to follow up with doctors and blood pressure checks annually.
According to a September report from the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, high blood pressure contributes to nearly 1,000 fatalities every day and almost $131 billion in health care costs. Up to 16 million people reported they were on medication to treat the condition while countless others know they have high blood pressure and are unable to control it.
"In most cases people are in care but not getting the care that can save their life," CDC director Thomas Frieden said at the event. "We're confident that over the next four or five years, we will help 10 million Americans better control their blood pressure."
According to the same study, nearly one-in-three adults had high blood pressure. Half of those — about 36 million — don't have a handle on the condition.
"I think the problem in Colorado is significant," said Kevin Rogers, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of cardiology at the University of Colorado."It really is an issue for the whole country. All medical communities should strive to treat high blood pressure on all levels."
For the few severe cases, he said, newly developed minimally invasive surgical procedures can help treat the problem, but better options include those encouraged by Kaiser — such as increased physical activity and a healthier diet.
Kaiser officials said the health system's integrated records and team-focused care make it easier to keep patient histories organized, regardless of which doctor a patient is seeing.
Nancy Fleming was one of those patients.
"When the doctor said to me, 'Look, you're a stroke waiting to happen,' that woke me up," she said.
While working closely with staff, Fleming said she has her hypertension under control, free of medication.
"I want to be around to see my grandchildren," she said.
The Million Hearts initiative is a nationwide program by the CDC aimed at controlling blood pressures and preventing 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017.
"We know we can do a lot better than we're doing today," Sebelius said, praising the work of Kaiser officials. "The truth is, no matter how much support we offer … improvement doesn't happen without those of you on the ground."
