He'll probably play as well in his next city as he did when he played for the Rams.
I think so. Jacksonville or Washington or someone is going to massively overpay for him even though I think it's already been proven that he's a system QB. A darn good system QB, one that is capable of reaching Joe Flacco-playoff level at certain points, like last year's SB. Only question is who overpays for him and for how much.

So who do the Rams got on their team, to try to help them win against Brady and the Pats?
I don't know who's their QB. I don't even know anyone on the team.

That says more about you then it does about the Rams. I don't watch much football outside of the local team, but even I know three of their best players. It's not like they're some crappy team that nobody saw coming - they have good players, and they're covered pretty well nationally.

Speaking of the Rams' players, remember when Jared Goff was supposed to be a bust but actually it was just that Jeff Fisher was an aggressively mediocre coach (at best)? Imagine how much better the Titans of the early 2000s could have been with a real football coach.
SabresRule7361 548
This is the most likely outcome. Let's be real - the Rams winning would tarnish the trophy since even the commissioner has admitted they shouldn't be there - and I think that once they see the Patriots lined up across from them, at least three of their offensive players will either urinate or defecate in their pants. Considering the color of their pants, I hope it's only the former. That would be great, because it'd let McNabb off the hook as the only key player who expelled fluids on the field during the big game.
*and a couple of crappy-ass Giants teams.
Boston's won enough trophies to the point where I think another Pats SB would feel like overkill.

they were never your team
There are so many articles about how the Rams burned St. Louis, yet let's not forget when Georgia burned LA the first time around and moved them to St. Louis. She pretty much ran that team into the ground for more than a decade to justify the move. It sucks when teams move, but that's pro sports for you. Never get too attached.

Yeah, I don't buy the crap that St. Louis failed the Rams. If eleven straight losing seasons means the fans failed you, then you're looking at sports wrong. Don't blame the fans for not showing up to watch a crappy team like Lions fans.
Just now, JWhiz96 said:
I've never blamed cities for losing teams. St. Louis really had very little say in how the Rams were run. At the end of the day, these are for-profit businesses that are going to go where the money is. LA was by far the biggest market without a team, someone was going to return eventually. If St. Louis was the size of New York, the Rams would still be there, along with at least one AFC team.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE LOS ANGELES FOOTBALL RAMS
On behalf of all CCSLC board members, casual sports fans, and NFL diehards around the world with no ties to Louisiana or New England:
I don't think it's a stretch to say that on this very day 17 years ago, many of us were rooting against you. And who could blame us? You guys were the high-flying, high-octane, well-oiled machine. Kurt Warner. Marshall Faulk. Torry Holt. Isaac Bruce. The Greatest Show on Turf was looking for its second title in three years. And here were these upstart kids from New England, with an out-of-nowhere 6th round QB, and an up-and-coming head coach who was looking to finally hit it big. They had never won anything. They may never get the chance to be here again. Why not root for scrappy little David to beat the well-oiled Goliath?
Oh how wrong we were.
No one, except perhaps that out-of-nowhere 6th round QB and that up-and-coming coach, could have predicted what would follow their narrow victory that sailed right through the uprights off the right foot of Adam Vinatieri. It was all part of their plan from the start - and we cheered it on to happen. Now, 17 years later, the teams are the same, and that QB and that coach remain, but virtually everything is different. Your current coach was in high school on that fateful day. Your QB was in elementary school. And your fans had no team to cheer for, still stinging from losing their beloved Rams just seven years earlier. However, despite all that has changed, one thing remains the same: the narrative. Only this time, it's you who is David. Only this time, it's them who is Goliath. This time, the neutrals are in your corner. We're all rooting for you to slay the beast. And who knows, even if you do win, maybe the beast won't be slayed. After all, we thought last year it was Foles and Co. who had done the deed, and yet here they are again. But do not let this frighten you. Although yours may not be the final, finishing blow, every chink in the armor counts.
One day, Goliath will fall. And let's be honest, if you do win today, and usher in your own dynasty, maybe we'll regret rooting for you today like we regret rooting for David 17 years ago. But deep down, we all know we won't see anything like this Goliath in the NFL for a while. We are safe rooting for you today. You can be part of the solution. You can right the wrong that was committed 17 years ago to this day. We are all counting on you. We believe in you. Let us experience the enjoyment of seeing the emotionless, joyless, football machine that the New England Patriots have become fall yet again. You, 32 year old Sean McVay, have the chance to dunk on a league that is so entitled, so stuck-up, and so set in its ways that any college QB entering the draft who doesn't look like Peyton Manning Lite can't possibly be "NFL-ready." You, Jared Goff, can add Sunshine from Remember the Titans/Ryan Gosling to the legendary list of QBs that have vanquished Tom Brady, a list that includes GOATs such as Eli Manning, Joe Flacco, and Mark Sanchez. You, Aaron Donald, can prove that defensive greatness still matters in today's NFL.
And just to highlight the final star that falls into line, you can accomplish all of this in those gorgeous throwback uniforms. Don't let us down, L.A. Too many things have fallen into place. This is your time. You can land one more Rebel blow onto the Death Star.
We. Believe.

Saudi Arabia will open land, air borders with Qatar after three year blockade
By AP • last updated: 04/01/2021
In this May 5, 2018 photo, a giant image of the Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, adorns a tower in Doha, Qatar. - Copyright Kamran Jebreili/Copyright 2018 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
Kuwait's foreign ministry announced Monday that Saudi Arabia will open its air and land borders with Qatar in the first steps toward ending a diplomatic crisis that has deeply divided regional U.S. allies since 2017.
The state-run Kuwait News Agency reported the announcement, saying that Saudi Arabia would open its borders with Qatar starting Monday evening.
Qatar's only land border has been mostly closed since mid-2017, when Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain launched a blockade against the tiny Gulf state, accusing it of supporting Islamist groups in the region and of having warm ties with Iran. The border has opened just briefly during the past three years to allow Qataris into Saudi Arabia to perform the Islamic hajj pilgrimage.
Kuwait has been mediating between Qatar and the four Arab states. On Monday, Kuwait's Foreign Minister Ahmad Nasser al-Mohammad Al Sabah reportedly traveled to Qatar to deliver a message to Qatar's ruling emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
The lifting of the embargo by Saudi Arabia paves the way for Qatar's ruler to attend a summit of Gulf leaders Tuesday that will be held in the kingdom's desert city of Al-Ula. The summit would traditionally be chaired by the Saudi monarch, King Salman, though his son and heir, the crown prince, may instead lead the meeting.
'A bright new page'
Kuwait's foreign minister said in a statement carried on state TV that the Kuwaiti emir had spoken with Qatar's emir and Saudi Arabia's crown prince. The conversations "emphasized that everyone was keen on reunification," and would gather in Al-Ula to sign a statement that promises to "usher in a bright page of brotherly relations."
The Gulf Cooperation Council summit will be "inclusive," leading the states toward "reunification and solidarity in facing the challenges of our region," Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was quoted as saying in remarks carried by the Saudi state-run news agency.
The decision by the close U.S. allies comes in the final days of the Trump administration's time in office. Trump's advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, visited Saudi Arabia and Qatar in early December in a final attempt to secure a diplomatic breakthrough.
The decision to end the Saudi blockade of Qatar also comes just ahead of U.S. President-elect Joe Biden's swearing in. Saudi Arabia may be seeking to clear contentious files that could prove stumbling blocs to building warm ties with the Biden administration, which is expected to take a firmer stance toward the kingdom's policies than Trump's four years in office.
There was no immediate comment by the UAE, Egypt or Bahrain on the announcement. However, in recent days Emirati and Egyptian statements have been made welcoming Saudi efforts to resolving the dispute.

What is the significance of a procalcitonin (PCT) level in the face of questionable pneumonia? How reliable is a PCT determination in the decision to treat or not to treat with an antibiotic?
PCT levels are elevated in sepsis and have shown utility as prognostic markers for disease severity among inpatients with pneumonia. There is additional interest in its use for guiding antibiotic choices in patients who present with lower respiratory tract infection that may not be bacterial in origin. Such studies are hampered by the obvious fact that community-acquired pneumonia is a clinical diagnosis. The key point is that the PCT test must be ultrasensitive with a rapid turnaround, and most community laboratories are presently not able to provide these diagnostics.

Routine, Not Exceptional
Srila Roy January 28, 2013
Rape is not exceptional but routine in most parts of the world. The fact that a twenty-three-year-old student, Jyoti, was brutally gang raped on a bus — leading to her death — in India's capital city, New Delhi, is not shocking. This is after all a country in which rape is used as mode of policing women's access to public spaces, as a tool of disciplining lower caste women and putting women of minority communities "in their place," as part of the privilege enjoyed by married men (marital rape is not recognized in Indian law), and the legal impunity bestowed on the Indian army in conflict zones. The routine nature of violence against women is made possible by social structures and institutions that immediately suggests — as feminists long have — the inadequacy of understanding rape as "a crime of sex." Rape is not about sex, they have cried, but power — caste, class and state power.
Lest we think that such violence is a "problem" of the developing South (attributable to "tradition" and/or "culture"), the truth is that it is prevalent everywhere. Advanced industrialized countries like the United States and the United Kingdom are no exceptions in normalizing sexual violence through a culture of blaming the victim, misogynistic policing and legal systems that lead to low conviction rates, the general apathy of the political class — and even the mainstream left — to what are exclusively seen as "women's issues," objectifying women in the media while glorifying machismo, and silencing sexual violence when it occurs in the confines of the home and family. All of these factors contribute to what feminists have rightly termed "rape culture" through which rape is rendered everyday and not extraordinary. Routine, not exceptional.
What has indeed been exceptional to the recent case of assault and murder in New Delhi is the unprecedented nature of mass protest it has spawned. In the days that followed the attack, thousands gathered in peaceful protest in the heart of the city to say enough is enough." A majority were students, both men and women, and not solely of privileged middle-class backgrounds as is generally assumed. The reverberations were felt in other parts of the country where, again, orchestrated by social networking and not the mainstream media, young people came together at candlelight vigils and reclaim-the-night marches. They demanded a response from a political class that has never felt the need to be accountable for the normalized nature of violence inflicted upon its female citizens. At least for those few days, they took back the city, refusing a patriarchal logic which, in holding women responsible for their violation, places further restrictions on their mobility. Instead, young women — supported by men — demanded autonomy and greater access to public spaces rather than safety and protection through increased policing, securitization, and the confinement of women to the private sphere.
Alongside these expressions of solidarity, freedom and justice, one also heard the rallying call for retributive violence. These were evident in placards demanding the death penalty for the rapists or chemical castration or even public flogging (and indeed a large amount of mediatized public debate has been on these issues). Messages were thus mixed in protests that were largely spontaneous, unmediated by political parties or usual activist groups and NGO circles. And perhaps for the first time, terms like "patriarchy" and "feminism" made their way into public discourse, compelling even a live televisual culture of 24/7 entertainment to take such discussions seriously.
What do these protests mean for feminism? While, for some, the outpouring of anger and the ensuring mainstreaming of "women's issues" was a welcome sign that feminism is alive and well in an Indian context, for others it signalled the absence of a genuine women's movement in the country which was able to give voice and direction to such public anguish. The Indian women's movement is invariably located in a specific temporal moment — the late seventies and early eighties that saw several politically non-affiliated or "autonomous" women's groups take up campaigns around violence against women. One of the first was in the name of Mathura, a sixteen-year old tribal girl who was gang raped by the police while in custody. Protests against this custodial rape and the subsequent release of the policemen charged resulted in a slew of changes to existing laws around sexual violence, a marker of the considerable success of the women's movement. Violence against women has since been at its heart even as the self-consciously feminist protests of the seventies and eighties have disappeared from the urban landscape. This disappearance can be attributed to wider changes in the women's movement that have, with the opening up of the Indian economy, come to be associated more and more with professional NGO spaces rather than with unruly street protest. The bemoaning of the absence of feminist leadership in the context of the Delhi protests is thus part of a larger lament about the decline if not death of feminist politics, at least of a certain kind.
Protests against sexual violence have not, however, disappeared even as they have changed form and expression. In recent times, we have seen the emergence of a new (largely urban and middle class) repertoire of addressing such violence through the employment of tools made available by India's globalization, namely the Internet. The Pink Chaddi or pink panties campaign of 2009 which protested the violent right-wing attack on women in a pub and the Slutwalk marches against victim-bashing are two instances of this phenomenon. Both were spontaneously organized through social networking and evoked ambivalent responses from established women's groups who watched a new generation of younger middle class women become politicized through the Internet and transnational feminist vocabularies. This is a generation of women who have grown up with a strong sense of entitlement — particularly to the same set of rights and privileges as men—and who are less self-conscious of being elite and "western" than a previous generation of feminists were.
For many in India's progressive circles, these protests were a far cry from an earlier era where feminists rallied around violence against the poor and marginalized and not on behalf of the middle classes who are pub-going or pink chaddi-wearing. The current culture of protest — seen not only in the context of sexual violence but also anti-corruption in India—thus raises the question as to whether it is only of and for the urban metropolitan middle classes. So, in answer to the question "why did this rape produce such a response" when scores of others go unnoticed on a daily basis, many are asserting the middle class identification with the victim as the answer. She could have been "one of us" meaning someone from a middle class family in urban India (notwithstanding the fact that she was actually part of the rural poor and a recent migrant to the city). Many fear that the middle class character of the protest could end up diminishing rather than expanding the debate on rape and sexual crimes, ignoring rape culture's most vulnerable victims, namely women of marginalized caste, communities and religion.
Such fears are not unwarranted but dismissals of the Delhi protests on the grounds of elitism amount to very little. They overestimate the middle class character of both the protestors and the victim besides failing to capture the broad nature of the category of "middle class." In any case, protest, like collective empathy, is always selective. But the selective nature of protest should not minimize its significance or impact. For whatever changes the Delhi rape case facilitates — legal or otherwise — women of all classes and not just those who are privileged or protesting will be affected. Dismissals on the grounds of elitism also risk setting up a hierarchy of victimhood where some victims — be they middle class or even lower class-caste — appear to be more worthy of our collective empathy than others.
Finally, the politicization of the Indian middle classes — particularly its younger members — through protests of these sorts should not be underestimated. Traditionally, protests against sexual violence have been limited to self-identified women's and leftist student groups without drawing on a broad base. India's middle classes, famous for their political apathy and disinterestedness, have stayed away. Their coming out in large numbers, quite spontaneously and "autonomously," was not anticipated. Their ability to call upon — even if in misguided ways — the state and structures of power on this individual crime opening up, thereby, a wider national remit for a discussion on rape, should be welcome. This is a space that decades of women's rights and leftist mobilization has not enabled. The sociologist Saskia Sassen places the Delhi protests in a global phenomenon of the "revolting middle class." The middle classes are being steadily politicized across the world on single issues (like rental prices in Israel and unemployment in austere Greece) that "become the occasion for enacting a much larger project." In India, the protestors were also distinctive in that they were predominantly young people, another group that feminists have struggled to attract to their fold. At a time when globally young women are self-identifying as "postfeminist" — uninterested in feminist politics for its apparent lack of relevance to their lives — the galvanizing of masses of young women over rape should be viewed as nothing short of transformatory.
Notwithstanding major gaps in understandings and demands, the Delhi protests have opened up a never-before space for public debate on conventionally "women's issues" with the biggest audience ever including the high echelons of the political class. This space has to be capitalized upon, the collective energy channelized. It is for the established women's movement to embrace not shun in the name of a 'proper' politics of a previous era. A veteran of the women's movement, Devaki Jain, put it well: "We [the women's movement] have always been an add-on and not a central political, economic and social force. Now we have a chance to become that". To become routine, not exceptional.

NASA's climate-monitoring space laser 'ICESat-2', is the last to ride to space on a Delta II rocket
NASA's Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) successfully launched from California at 9:02 a.m. EDT Saturday, embarking on its mission to measure the ice of Earth's frozen reaches with unprecedented accuracy.
ICESat-2 lifted off from Space Launch Complex-2 at Vandenberg Air Force Base on United Launch Alliance's final Delta II rocket. Ground stations in Svalbard, Norway, acquired signals from the spacecraft about 75 minutes after launch. It's performing as expected and orbiting the globe, from pole to pole, at 17,069 mph from an average altitude of 290 miles.
"With this mission we continue humankind's exploration of the remote polar regions of our planet and advance our understanding of how ongoing changes of Earth's ice cover at the poles and elsewhere will affect lives around the world, now and in the future," said Thomas Zurbuchen, associate administrator of NASA's Science Mission Directorate.
ICESat-2 carries a single instrument, the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS). ATLAS will be activated approximately two weeks after the mission operations team completes initial testing of the spacecraft. Then ICESat-2 will begin work on its science objective, gathering enough data to estimate the annual height change of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets to within four millimeters – the width of a pencil.
"While the launch today was incredibly exciting, for us scientists the most anticipated part of the mission starts when we switch on the laser and get our first data," said Thorsten Markus, ICESat-2 project scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "We are really looking forward to making those data available to the science community as quickly as possible so we can begin to explore what ICESat-2 can tell us about our complex home planet."
A Delta II launching for the Aquarius mission in 2011
The high-resolution data will document changes in the Earth's polar ice caps, improve forecasts of sea level rise bolstered by ice sheet melt in Greenland and Antarctica, and help scientists understand the mechanisms that are decreasing floating ice and assess how that sea ice loss affects the ocean and atmosphere.
ICESat-2 continues the record of ice height measurements started by NASA's original ICESat mission, which operated from 2003 to 2009, that were continued by the agency's annual Operation IceBridge airborne flights over the Arctic and Antarctic, which began in 2009. Data from ICESat-2 will be available to the public through the National Snow and Ice Data Center.
Goddard built and tested the ATLAS instrument, and manages the ICESat-2 mission for NASA's Science Mission Directorate. Northrop Grumman designed and built the spacecraft bus, installed the instrument and tested the completed satellite. NASA's Launch Services Program, based at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, is responsible for launch service acquisition, integration, analysis and launch management.

A Granulado dispersion used when we need to obtain the same Granulado benefits but immediately.
Those inaccessible or recently carried out embankments, made of sand, subsoil, marl or pebbles are treated using a mixture of Liquid Concentrate, water, cellulose, fertilizer and seeds (hydro sowing).
These embankments receive through this treatment immediate protection against erosion, as an insoluble lumpy structure is developed. Even heavy rainfall cannot damage them.
All the mixture's typical seaweed active principles and high cationic exchange capacity (buffer effect) allow the recently germinated seed to grow an immediate, strong and deep root system.
The Liquid Concentrate jointly with our mixing THK has buffered PH values as low as 2-3 when it was employed to revive open lignite quarries and values as high as 12 when it was employed in power station ash landfills. In both cases a healthy vegetation cover has developed.
Slopes are mainly composed of mixed subsoil and soils making difficult for their soil's biology to develop. Slopes treated with Liquid Concentrate show an intense microbial activity which may be appraised, even after years, in rhizosphere and herb density and colour.
Fertilizers for vegetal nutrition. Non refined integral seaweed extract. With high potassium concentrations.
All Liquid Concentrate's typical seaweed active principles and high cationic exchange capacity (buffer effect) enable the recently germinated seeds to grow immediate, strong and deep root systems.

Q: Question about "convention" Although I know the word "convention" means "agreement to behave in a particular way", I cannot still simplify the line below.

"Malaysia needs to take control under the Chicago convention of those investigations."

Here is the full context:

Australia's Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said the Malaysian statement moved the search to a new phase.
"It moves it to a stage where we are now investigating an accident, a loss of an aircraft and some new decisions will have to be taken now about the direction of future operations," Truss told reporters.
"Malaysia needs to take control under the Chicago convention of those investigations."
The United States said it was sending an undersea Navy drone to Australia, in addition to a high-tech black box detector, to help in the search.

A: It's very easy to be confused with the sentence because it's a quote and it had to be reported as is.
Let me simplify.
Remove some stuff to get the main idea:

Malaysia needs to take control of those investigations.

Also, "The Chicago convention" is a proper noun and should have been written as "The Chicago Convention". It's a law about airplanes and air travel.
So put it back together:

Malaysia needs to take control of those investigations under the Chicago Convention.

A: If I rearrange the sentence it will come down to -
"...needs to take control of those investigation under Chicago convention"
I think "under Chicago convention" means here "in accordance with or following Chicago convention"
See the definition 5 of Under
Under - according to a particular law, agreement, or system
Example -

*

*Under the terms of the agreement, our company will receive 40% of the profits.

*The boy is considered a minor under British law.

*All individuals have basic human rights, that are recognized under international law.

Day 23 – Witches and Acne
Apr 1, 2020 | The Quarantine Diary, Week 4
I've been avoiding social media a bit. I can't handle all the conspiracy theories going around and here's why:
When the Black Plague came to Europe in the 14th century, healers and governments were at a loss to explain the disease. Jews and people with acne were just some of those blamed as possible reasons for outbreaks, and were massacred throughout Europe as a result.
Cats were also blamed and Europeans continued to kill cats for another 300 years after the inital outbreak.
Should Jews, people with skin disorders or cats have been killed and blamed for the Black Plague?
NO, we look on the idea as tragic and ridiculous, because we are more rational now, and thanks to scientists we know it was carried by fleas on rats.
Let's skip to the 1900s, the Spanish Flu swept the globe, killing between 20 million and 40 million people. While the Spanish carry the stigma of being attached to the name, the first known case of the flu strain was reported in 1918 in Kansas. It spread to most cities in America and then followed the thousands of American soldiers who crossed the Atlantic for the closing offensives of the First World War.
So should Americans be blamed for the Spanish Flu?
NO because scientists know that global outbreaks of deadly influenza go back at least 400 years and because we are rational human beings we know a natural occurring illness is no nation's fault.
I find the treatment of women branded as 'witches' in history including The Salem Witch Trials fascinating. The imagination of the citizens of Salem got completely out of hand and led the town to hang many of their own in the 1600s. One girl, was accused of flying over a barn. It had to be true because a friend of a friend said they saw it (their version of social media).
The Witch Trials were caused by mass hysteria and the desires of the power hungry, during a time of great uncertainty and fear. Even in current uncertain times, could we imagine burning women at the stake now?
NO because we are a more rational and kinder society.
Let's just go back to the Plague for a moment, one of the most successful cities at stopping the spread of the Black Plague was Milan. If a person was found to have the Plague all the windows and doors were bricked shut, along with anyone inside – whether or not they were infected. While this extreme method of quarantine largely stopped the spread, would it be accepted today, even though we are living through something not too dissimilar?
Roll on 2020 and half the world is indoors hiding from a virus. However times are different now aren't they? We don't lend ourselves to hysteria like the Witch Trials in Salem, we are a rational society, we have well trained scientists with amazing technology to tell us the facts so we avoid superstition.
So why all these Conspiracy Theories that China, Russia or the USA created it in a lab and launched the disease on purpose?
We know Covid-19 started in China. On March 17 2020 the Scripps Research Institute released it's research (funded by the US, Australia, Europe and UK) which found no evidence that the virus was made in a laboratory or otherwise engineered.
"By comparing the available genome sequence data for known coronavirus strains, we can firmly determine that SARS-CoV-2 originated through natural processes," said Kristian Andersen, PhD, an associate professor of immunology and microbiology at Scripps Research and corresponding author on the paper.
Josie Golding, PhD, epidemics lead at UK-based Wellcome Trust, said the findings by Andersen and his colleagues are "crucially important to bring an evidence-based view to the rumours that have been circulating about the origins of the virus (SARS-CoV-2) causing COVID-19."
They conclude that the virus is the product of natural evolution, ending any speculation about deliberate genetic engineering.
So should we be creating hysteria like they did around the Salem Witch Trials by repeating these stupid conspiracy theories? Should we be pointing a finger at a nation to blame them for a disease that originated through natural evolution?
NO because the scientists have told us the facts, and we are a more rational and kinder society … aren't we?

Love this post- I recently bought John Whaite's Perfect Plates in 5 Ingredients and it really inspired me to try some new recipes 🙂 Those museli cookies look DELISH!
Thank you Laura, they certainly were and they made loads so I didn't mind sharing them! he,he!


You paddle out into a beautifully glassy sea with clean swell after clean swell rolling in. It's the perfect day to catch and ride one head-high wave after another.
Now you're out a couple of hundred feet from shore sitting on your board, waiting for your time to drop in. Suddenly, coming your way you see a wall of water rising, soon to crest.
You point your board toward the shore, lay on your stomach, stick your arms in the water, and begin cranking like Michael Phelps just challenged you to a race.
Yet, despite all the effort, another perfect swell to rolls right under you before you could pop up and drive into the pitch.
Few things are more frustrating than watching a clean break pass you right by.
To keep that from happening, try out these tips for upping your wave count and start shredding some killer gnar.
Does your pop up resemble an elderly man getting out of bed in the morning? If you're slow to get up on the board as you drive into the curl, you could easily be missing out on swell after swell.
In this case, it may be time to put in some work outside the water to improve your pop up time.
One of the best exercises for this is the classic, beloved burpee. This movement nearly mimics the range of motion that you follow through when popping up on a board.
Try this exercise two to three times a week to improve your wave count. You'll begin to look less your grandfather waking up and more like a CrossFit games athlete as you see your pop up speed quickly increase.
Riding out into the water where you'll be waiting for the right swell is not the same as when it comes time to drive into and drop in on the wave.
When you're paddling out into the water, you'll want to be using longer, slower strokes that help you efficiently glide through the water. Think of this as driving a car in a higher gear.
It's a bit different though when catching a wave. In this case, you'll want to prioritize torque over efficiency. This is when it's time to drop into a lower gear.
Rather than taking long sweeping strokes, you'll want to make shorter and quicker motions. This will drive you forward with greater control and speed in a short burst.
This little bit of extra forward burst could well be the difference between a perfect drop in and seeing the perfect wave's crest roll under you once again.
There are plenty of minor and major adjustments you can make in your training and methods to improve your skill in catching waves. Still, one of the very best ways to up your wave count is to have an expert train you.
If you live in or will be spending time in the San Diego area and want to learn or simply improve your surfing, let us help you get one step closer to the next perfect drop in.

York woman whose ears are ringing 'every second of every day' shares story on dealing with crippling tinnitus
Approximately seven million people in the UK are affected by tinnitus - that figure is set to rise in the next five years

"All I hear is my tinnitus"
This is the reality for Claire Brown from York, who is one of the millions of people across the UK that suffer from tinnitus - a condition that causes sufferers to hear noises, often ringing, that are not caused by sounds coming from the outside world.
The figure is currently estimated to be around seven million - more than 10% of the population - and is expected to rise over the next decade.
For more stories in York click here
Claire's case is severe, especially in her right ear. But she isn't alone in that boat. And while she hasn't had it medically confirmed how her battle with tinnitus started, she has a good idea of when her ears began to ring during "every second of every day".
She said: "I had a really nasty fall a few years back and bumped my head. I had concussion. This has never been confirmed, but I believe the tinnitus started after that. That's the only thing I can pinpoint."
Claire, who works in the betting industry and is a trainee counsellor, was in her 40s at this point and also loved going out, attending gigs and listening to music.
Claire Brown, from York, has now acquired a pair of hearing aids which have improved her hearing significantly (Image: Claire Brown)
But tinnitus has had a significant impact on her life since. It affects her sleep, her job, and her mental health. She has had to make significant changes to her lifestyle and seek advice from leading specialists in order to cope with the constant ringing sensation she has in her ears.
As she approached her 50th birthday in September, Claire was told that she would require hearing aids.
Claire said: "I was really dubious at first. It was really difficult for me. I was only coming up to 50-years-old and, because of the stigma that surrounds hearing aids, I was concerned about it.
"I've also got short hair, another reason why I was so conscious and, to be honest, a little bit embarrassed. I'm still in the early stages, but because I did my homework, I think that has helped me get my head around it and understand it."
Claire Brown with her husband Mark at Chelmsford Racing (Image: Claire Brown)
Claire said that she went to Boots Hearingcare, who helped her understand what was happening and provided her with hearing aids that were much less noticeable than she had anticipated.
She said: "Hearing aids are something most people associate with the big things that used to sit on the ear. People don't realise how far they have come technologically, nor how small and compact they are now.
"I link hearing aids back to when I was a kid and I used to see people wearing these things that just couldn't be missed. Hearing aids just aren't like that anymore."
Data from RNID - the national hearing loss charity - reports that, in the UK, more than 40% of people over 50 years old have hearing loss, rising to more than 70% of people over the age of 70.
Claire Brown said that tinnitus had a significant impact on her life, affecting her job, her sleep and her mental health (Image: Claire Brown)
Claire advises those people to get checked out, saying: "It's about stepping through the door, whether it's NHS or private. The best thing you can do in that position is to talk to someone who knows it inside out.
"The first thing you have to do is admit you need help with it. The sooner you do something about it, the sooner you can improve your life. I think the messaging needs to improve as well."
Alex Barrett, the audiologist at Boots Hearingcare's York store who saw Claire, said: "Hearing loss and difficulties associated with hearing loss should not be seen as something to be ashamed of, being courageous and brave about it as Claire has been is the way forward.
"We are able to help and support in a number of areas and having a hearing check is something that should be seen as routine as an eye exam. As a clinician, there is nothing more rewarding than getting the best possible outcome for someone.
"Whether that be a hearing solution for someone like Claire, or being able to say to someone that there is no issue with their hearing and discuss some communication tactics which may support or help them in a busy environment."

Medical Skin Problems
How Albinism Works
by Susan L. Nasr
Albinism in Animals
Animals with albinism like this wallaby usually stay in the shade to protect skin from sunlight.
Guiseppe Cacace of Agence France Presse/Getty Images
Every animal -- from cockroaches to apes -- makes melanin and can have albinism. Such animals fare poorly in the wild, says Chad Staples, a curator at Featherdale Wildlife Park in Doonside, Australia. "Their rate of survival is virtually zero," says Staples. "Predators easily pick them out of a group. Families and social groups can exclude them because to every other member, they look foreign." In captivity, albino animals fare better. At Featherdale, albino wallabies are trained to stay in the shade, and the hypopigmented blue-tongued lizard (which loses skin color over time) soaks up necessary UV rays with special modulation to reduce cancer risk. When it comes to mating, some species fare better than others. The albino peacock attracts females just fine, but suitors shun the albino kookaburra, Staples says.
The occurrence of albinism runs the gamut across the animal kingdom. According to the Missouri Conservationist, published by the Missouri Department of Conservation, at least 300 species in North America have had at least one reported instance of albinism. Researchers observe albinism occurs once out of every 10,000 mammal births. Albinism is much more common in birds, occurring once in every 1,764 births. Diluting or spreading out a species' gene pool greatly reduces the chance of albinism [source: Miller].
Albino animals make prized -- and pricey -- pets. Albino lab animals, like the BALB/c mouse are inbred to make litters genetically similar; albinism is a side effect [source: Faletra]. These animals were also prized as laboratory research subjects, although that assessment has come under fire lately due to their rarity and genetic mutation and is now considered inappropriate by some [Source: Leathers]. However, they continue to be cherished in the wild. In some areas of Missouri, white squirrels with partial albinism have become quite popular with locals who pamper them and protect them from hunters and other predators [source: Miller].
Despite the dangers of the wild, many animals with albinism, like this whitetail deer, find themselves coddled by humans.

ABOUT WEST LOOP. A transformation — or rather, an explosion — has taken place among the former factories, wholesale markets and warehouses on the edges of downtown. One of Chicago's fastest growing neighborhoods, the West Loop is a study of contrasts.
Established in 1991, The West Loop Community Organization (WLCO) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit delegate agency of the City of Chicago. Coordinating public planning, supporting economic development, and cultivating community programming within the West Loop are among our active responsibilities.
Chicago's West Loop has earned a reputation as one of the most exciting areas to eat, drink, and experience the best of the city, so it's no wonder locals are envious of anyone who gets to call this neighborhood home.Where industrial warehouses once stood, swanky high-rise apartments and condos now provide unbeatable views of the river and the city skyline.
The Fulton River District makes up the north east area of the Near West Side, just west of the Loop. It is bordered by the Chicago River to the east, Ohio Street on the north, Madison Street to the south, and the Kennedy Expressway to the west. The Fulton River District is a former manufacturing and current transportation corridor turned residential neighborhood.
Find West Loop restaurants in the Chicago area and other neighborhoods such as River North Chicago, Lakeview Chicago, Lincoln Park, and more. Make restaurant reservations and read reviews.
West Loop Restaurants - Chicago, IL: See 24,805 TripAdvisor traveler reviews of 24,805 restaurants in Chicago West Loop and search by cuisine, price, and more.
In the past month, 59 homes have been sold in West Loop. In addition to houses in West Loop, there were also 424 condos, 15 townhouses, and 2 multi-family units for sale in West Loop last month. West Loop is a supremely walkable neighborhood in Chicago with a Walk Score of 96. West Loop is home to approximately 6,097 people and 39,226 jobs.


For the government, China's Christian community has long been a source of embarrassment, resulting in bans on the Bible and on public displays of the cross.
Church leadership is also required to request approval from the Communist party and even church teachings must now be in line with party ideals.
The crackdown has been mainly imposed in China's Xinjiang province, on the borders of Pakistan and Afghanistan, with officials saying the region is "not Chinese enough".


The investment objective of the scheme is to generate capital appreciation over a period of ten years by predominantly investing in equity and equity-related instruments of companies that can be termed as micro-cap. the investment will be eligible for Income tax benefit. For the purpose of investment by the scheme 'micro cap' stock is defined as one whose market cap is equal to or lower than the 301st Stock by market cap (after sorting the securities in the descending order of market capitalization) on the National Stock exchange of India limited, mumbai, at the time of investment.

Dutch Senate adopts bill on collective damages claims
Houthoff
Netherlands March 19 2019
Today, the Dutch Senate adopted the bill on redress of mass damages in a collective action (Wet afwikkeling massaschade in collectieve actie). The Senate passed the bill only seven weeks after it was approved by the House of Representatives on 29 January 2019, because the bill did not give rise to any remarks or debate in the Senate.
With this bill, the options for starting collective actions will be broadened. The bill will allow claim vehicles to seek damages in a collective action. Currently, Dutch collective actions can only be used as a stepping stone towards obtaining financial compensation, usually through a collective settlement agreement. Damages cannot be claimed. The bill also introduces a number of safeguards to prevent abuse of the Dutch collective action system, especially in view of the increasing commercial use of collective actions by claim vehicles. Therefore, the bill adds stricter requirements for the standing of a claim vehicle and the scope of collective actions. Lastly, the bill introduces procedural changes to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of these proceedings, including the appointment of an exclusive representative, the consolidation of collective actions if these actions are based on the same events, and the obligation for the parties to try to negotiate a settlement agreement after an exclusive representative has been appointed.
The bill will enter into force on a date to be announced, probably 1 July 2019. The bill will apply to collective actions brought on or after the date of its entry into force for events that took place on or after 15 November 2016, the date that the bill was submitted to the Dutch parliament. The current regime will apply to actions that relate to events that took place before 15 November 2016.
Current Dutch collective actions
Currently, Dutch collective actions can be initiated by a claim vehicle under Article 3:305a Dutch Civil Code (DCC). A claim vehicle can only be a foundation or an association with full legal capacity which aims to promote the similar interests of other persons, in so far as it represents these interests under the terms of its articles of association and these interests are sufficiently safeguarded by the claim vehicle. Any civil claim can be brought in collective actions, except a claim for damages. However, Dutch collective actions can be used as a stepping stone towards obtaining financial compensation. After the claim vehicle has obtained a declaratory judgment holding that the defendant acted unlawfully, the claim vehicle will usually try to reach a collective settlement agreement. After concluding such an agreement, the parties can submit a joint petition to the Amsterdam Court of Appeal, asking the court to declare the settlement binding on the class of people as defined in the settlement agreement. After being approved by the court, the settlement will bind all class members, except members who choose to opt out in a timely manner. If parties do not reach an agreement, the only way for claimants to obtain damages is by submitting an individual claim or a bundle of individual claims for damages. In an individual claim, it is likely that the court will follow the decision of the court in the collective action.
The bill on collective damages claims
The bill introduces the possibility to claim damages in a collective action and adds stricter requirements regarding the standing of the claim vehicle and the scope of the collective action. It also introduces procedural changes to make proceedings more efficient and effective.
The new standing requirements relate to the claim vehicle's governance, representativeness, transparency and funding. The bill incorporates principles that have already been laid down in a soft law instrument: the Claim Code 2011 (recently updated, see the News Update on the Claim Code 2019), a code of conduct for claim vehicles which the courts have given increasing weight to in recent years.
A claim vehicle will only be admissible in its claim if 1) the claim vehicle meets all the standing requirements; 2) the claim vehicle has sufficiently shown that bringing a collective action is more efficient and effective than bringing individual claims because there is numerosity, questions of law and fact are sufficiently similar and - if the claim is brought to obtain compensation - the persons represented individually and jointly have a sufficiently large financial interest, and 3) the defectiveness of the collective action was not summarily apparent when the writ was submitted.
Scope of the collective action
The bill also aims to narrow the scope of collective actions, in order to prevent foreign claimants initiating disputes in Dutch proceedings that are not or are only vaguely related to the Netherlands. Therefore, the bill requires that a claim vehicle can only bring a collective action if the legal claim has a sufficiently close relationship with the Netherlands. A sufficiently close relationship exists if 1) the majority of persons whose interests the legal action aims to protect have their habitual residence in the Netherlands; or 2) the party against whom the legal action is directed is domiciled in the Netherlands and additional circumstances suggest a sufficient relationship with the Netherlands; or 3) the event to which the legal action relates took place in the Netherlands. If the claim is not sufficiently related, the claim vehicle has no standing.
Course of proceedings
The bill also introduces changes to the normal course of proceedings. The claim vehicle has to register its collective action in a central register. If several claim vehicles bring a collective action addressing the same events, these collective actions will be consolidated. If the court grants the claim vehicles that brought a collective action standing, it will appoint one of them as the exclusive representative. The other claim vehicles remain party to the proceedings. The exclusive representative will represent the interests of those claim vehicles and of the persons the collective action aims to protect. Those who don't want to be represented in this collective action can opt-out after the appointment of the exclusive representative. Foreign persons can be represented, provided that they opt-in.
Following the appointment of an exclusive representative, the court will set a period for parties to try to negotiate a settlement agreement. After a settlement agreement is reached and declared binding, there is a second opportunity to opt-out. If no agreement is reached, the proceedings will continue. However, if at a certain point in the collective damages proceedings the court deems this appropriate, it can order the parties to submit a proposal for settling the claim, on the basis of which the court can determine compensation. The court will have to ensure that the amount of compensation awarded is reasonable and that the interests of the persons the collective action aims to protect are sufficiently safeguarded. When the judgment is final, it will be binding on each of the parties and on the persons whose interests have been represented in the collective action.
Litigation costs and lawyers' fees
The Netherlands have a moderated 'loser pays' rule. The costs that can be reimbursed by the winning party are usually limited to the court registry fee, the costs of witnesses and experts and a limited fixed amount for lawyers' fees. However, the bill allows the court to deviate from this rule by awarding a much higher amount for costs to the winning party. If the court finds that the defectiveness of the claim is summarily apparent, it can order the claim vehicle to pay a higher amount of lawyers' fees, up to a maximum of five times the fixed amount, unless fairness dictates otherwise. If the proceedings result in a collective claim settlement ordered by the court, the court may order, if so requested, that the defendant pay reasonable and proportionate court costs and other costs that the claim vehicle has incurred, unless fairness dictates otherwise.
Transitional law
The bill will apply to collective actions brought on or after the date of its entry into force for events that took place on or after 15 November 2016, the date that the bill was submitted to the Dutch parliament. The current regime will apply to actions that relate to events that took place before 15 November 2016.

I am flattered that you still read the Duck. Your contributions to my thoughts on the death of cursive in elementary schools helped that article to be tied for the most popular posting of all time.
That was a few years ago…Coincidentally, just this week, I came across your expert testimony in two separate cases, advising towns to refrain from restoring cursive to schools via legislative edict.
1. With a name like "Zion", it doesn't surprise me to learn that they have a history with religion. That's an interesting historical footnote, but in my opinion, this doesn't change anything. This is America and city documents and properties are a public resource. I take the separation of church and state very seriously.
2. My daughter was in the Girl Scouts until last year. (She feels that she has outgrown the activities available in our area). Her troupe began each meeting with the Girl Scout Law, which does not invoke a deity.
Based on the web page that you referred, I see that the "law" flows right after after the shorter Girl Scout Promise, which does mention God. I was unaware of this.
But as noted in my original post, even our secular country mentions God on its currency and in many affairs of state, including sessions of our legislative bodies. I stand by my conclusion that the Girl Scouts are more benign and even agnostic in practice. They are inclusive and typically don't bake God into many activities.
It is a pleasure to hear from you again, Kate. I always respect and appreciate your insight. I hope to reconnect soon!

Next step in the cooperation between HSW and Raytheon
Huta Stalowa Wola S.A., a part of Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa (Polish Armaments Group), and the American company Raytheon Integrated Defense Systems have signed an agreement (Letter Subcontract), enabling the start of preparations for the production and integration of 16 missile launchers M903, the basic elements of the air defense and missile defense system called "Wisła". This contract will be audited and approved in the course of the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) process in the coming months.
This is a milestone, as HSW concludes a contract with Raytheon for the integration and production of 16 missile launchers of the Patriot system as part of the first phase of the "Wisła" program. This confirmed the readiness of the companies included in the PGZ - WISŁA Consortium to implement the program. This is one of many business contracts that are related to the implementation of this contract. Next in the queue are orders from both Raytheon and national from the Ministry of Defense, regarding JELCZ trucks.
- The signing inaugurates the stage of launching the production of rocket launchers in Poland, on which the "Wisła" system will be based. Thanks to the cooperation with American partners, Polska Grupa Zbrojeniowa will become a part of the supply chain of the Patriot system. We acquire production capabilities that enable us to deliver key equipment for the Polish Armed Forces, and in the future also for other clients - said Radosław Domagalski-Łabędzki, member of PGZ SA's management board.
- Raytheon is involved in partnership with the Polish industry to develop the defense sector - said Pete Bata, vice president of the Polish integrated anti-aircraft and missile defense program at Raytheon - The contract with Huta Stalowa Wola is the first of many production contracts to be granted to PGZ in the implementation of the first phase of the Wisła program.
In the first phase of the Wisła program, HSW SA and other companies that are part of the Polish Armaments Group will obtain, among others, technologies and know-how enabling a significant participation in the production of launchers and their components. The batteries supplied to Poland will be equipped with launchers that will be created in the national defense industry. The transfer of technology and knowledge will also help to reduce the costs incurred during the entire lifecycle of launcher systems, for which operation and modernization the PGZ Group companies will be responsible. M903 launchers will also be part of Patriot systems manufactured for other countries, which opens for PGZ and Huta Stalowa Wola opportunities to acquire new orders.
The PGZ - WISŁA Consortium responsible for the implementation of the WISŁA program on the PGZ side consists of fourteen entities: PGZ S.A. (consortium leader), Huta Stalowa Wola SA, MESKO SA, PIT-Radwar SA, Wojskowe Zakłady Elektroniczne SA, Jelcz sp. z o. o., Autosan sp. z o. o., Ośrodek Badawczo-Rozwojowy Centrum Techniki Morskiej SA, Wojskowe Zakłady Uzbrojenia SA, Zakłady Mechaniczne Tarnów SA, Wojskowe Zakłady Lotnicze nr 1 SA, Wojskowe Zakłady Lotnicze nr 2 SA, PCO SA and Wojskowe Zakłady Łączności nr 1 S.A. In addition, some of the other companies from the PGZ Group will take part in the Wisła program as a sub-suppliers.

"This is a love story. A story about growing old with grace. Addie Moore and Louis Waters have been neighbours for years. Now they both live alone, their houses empty of family, their quiet nights solitary. Then one evening Addie pays Louis a visit. Soon to be a major film starring Robert Redford and Jane Fonda.


The boutique condominium concept has seeped into the Golden Gate Point Peninsula with the launch of the Pearl in late 2016. This new residential property development is located at 609 Golden Gate Point, taking over this interior parcel from a two-story vintage apartment building.
The Pearl offers a chic curvilinear architectural style and low density, thereby adding a new dimension to the upscale home choices in the 22-acre peninsula. The condominium's design is a notable modern rendition of art deco architecture which provides a break from the Mediterranean style dominant in past Golden Gate Point developments.
True to its boutique theme, the Pearl's setup is for just eight units housed in a five-story building. Set for groundbreaking in early 2017, its construction has an expected 16-month build time.
Though a relatively smaller development, the Pearl's features are as upscale as the larger luxury condos in the Golden Gate Point neighborhood. Each unit in this condominium takes 2,750 square feet of air-conditioned space creating extra roomy living areas with provisions for three bedrooms, three baths, and a half bath. The condos' floor-to-ceiling windows, sliding glass doors and expansive terraces combine to give an airy ambiance within the residences.
Golden Gate Point Ventures, the developer of the Pearl, set the pre-construction prices of these units from $1.65 million to $1.95 million. This high-end pricing is fully justified in the condos' opulent interior features: natural hardwood flooring, premium Euro-style custom cabinets, quartz countertops, and luxurious spa-like master bathrooms.
The Pearl's building is oriented facing the downtown and features a rooftop patio providing magnificent views of bay and the Sarasota skyline. The condominium's amenities include a resort-style pool and spa, cabana, barbecue area, private elevator foyer and individual garage spaces.
Early buyers who seal a contract to purchase will get a free membership to the Bird Key Yacht Club. This marketing come-on covers initiation fee and dues for one whole year.
More than this promotional perk, a more robust driver to the Pearl condos for sale is their proximity to every major attraction Sarasota offers. These include the local arts and culture scene, prime shopping centers, hubs of sports and leisure activities, and modern healthcare facilities.
The solid reputation of those behind this project additionally provides market strength to Pearl condos for sale. The condominium's design came from the drawing boards of Hoyt Architects credited for designing many Sarasota landmarks like the Ed Smith Stadium, Selby Library, Patriot Plaza, and Hollywood 20.
Its developer, Golden Gate Point Ventures, is as illustrious, having more than 20 years of property development and construction experience. Its recent multi-million dollar residential projects include Island Court Venice and Island Court Longboat Key.
The high quality of the Pearl's construction likewise gets a boost from its project developer, Divisions Unlimited, working in tandem with Floors by Design, one of the most successful flooring companies in the region. These two outfits serve as both builder and project developer, a unique combination which fosters better project control and more attention to detail. As local developers, too, they have a better understanding of the Sarasota real estate market and enjoy strong working relationships with area partners.
Below are all of the current real estate listings available for sale at The Pearl.
