Amendola is the Man For Rams
September 2012 by FT-Blogger
The statement that was made about the game that WR Danny Amendola had last week for the St. Louis Rams is that it was one of the best games that a receiver has had in franchise history. Considering how many years the likes of Torry Holt and Isaac Bruce were playing on the team dubbed as, "The Greatest Show on Turf," that's hard to believe. But just watching some film of Amendola work has to be worrisome this week for the Chicago Bears, who are going to be hosting the Rams on Sunday.
Amendola had a dozen catches at halftime against the Washington Redskins last week, and he ended up with 15 grabs for 160 yards and a trip to the end zone. QB Sam Bradford looked like he was building a great rapport with Amendola at the very beginning of last season before the Texas Tech receiver ended up suffering a season-ending injury. Remember that two years ago, Amendola caught 85 passes in spite of the fact that he only had six starts under his belt.
Now, the sky is clearly the limit for Amendola, and he is going to have a chance to shine in a big time way on Sunday.
Credit does have to be given where credit is due though, and the Chicago secondary definitely deserves a tip of the cap. Thanks to a defensive front that has accounted for eight sacks, the secondary already has four picks, led by DB Tim Jennings, who has intercepted three balls. The stars of the defensive backfield are going to be all over Amendola on Sunday, making sure that he has a tough time getting the ball in his hands.
The Rams are one of the bigger underdogs this week for NFL odds, as they are up to +7 ½ in their first game of the year played on grass. Previously, St. Louis beat the Redskins at home and the Detroit Lions on the field turf of Ford Field.

The Pandemic from a Resident Perspective
Clinical Experience, COVID-19, Interview, Residency
With coronavirus putting a halt to normal life in the United States, times are uncertain for all, but the strain is undeniably shouldered in large part by health care workers. In the war against COVID-19, healthcare workers are relied on to battle it head-on, despite the risk of exposure. Newest to this frontline are interns who, after four years of working towards their desired specialty and career, have been thrust into an unexpected reality.
Dr. Michelle Keyser, Dr. Meera Reghunathan, and Dr. Tyler Lanman are all UCSD interns going into different specialties but share the unexpected scenario of experiencing their training in the face of a global pandemic.
Changing Shift Schedules
Residency is an intensive time for newly minted doctors to experience independent physician interaction for the first time. 80-hour weeks with extensive patient interactions are commonplace for any resident. In the face of the current public health emergency, however, resident shifts have drastically changed. Dr. Michelle Keyser, an intern going into internal medicine-pediatrics, is still going to Jacobs Medical Center for her Cardiac ICU inpatient rotation, but her fellow interns are not in a similar situation. "Residents have had their outpatient rotations canceled and been assigned to a call pool," she states. "In the scenario where a resident at the hospital gets sick, someone from the call pool will cover. Also, if an additional medicine or ICU team needs to be formed in response to a spike in coronavirus cases, residents from the call pool will be called."
Dr. Tyler Lanman, an intern going into neurology, shares that his fellow residents are taking a Heroes Curriculum, a general medicine online curriculum in lieu of canceled rotations. These residents are prepared as a backup if more healthcare workers are needed. All of these changes to resident shifts have been in place for more than a month now. Outpatient rotations are expected to start up soon, but whether these rotations will have to be made up in the future is still in question and may also depend on the year of residency and type of residency.
Surgical residency programs have also adopted strategies to reduce exposure in the hospital. Dr. Meera Reghunathan, a surgery intern at UCSD, described the platoon schedule, in which some residents cover more services while other residents take time off. "Elective surgeries have been canceled and patient caseload is lower, so we can collapse our surgical services down in response to the pandemic. This means fewer people at risk at the hospital." Dr. Reghunathan is currently working full shifts, but many of her fellow residents have reduced their hours in the wake of the platoon schedule. When and how an elective surgery schedule will start up again, however, is uncertain.
Intern Safety
Hospitals are also placing emphasis on testing health care workers potentially affected by the virus. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), currently, 2 kinds of tests are available for COVID-19 testing: diagnostic tests that involve a nasal swab and antibody blood tests, which check for antibodies against COVID-19 in the serum. Current guidelines for coronavirus testing rely on the presentation of symptoms or contact with a known patient with coronavirus. Dr. Michelle Keyser and Dr. Tyler Lanman have not been tested yet, but Dr. Meera Reghunathan has. Testing guidelines are changing though with the recently approved UCSD Rapid Test that provides coronavirus test results within a day. With this new test available, hospitals are now expanding testing to include all admitted patients.
Even though testing guidelines are in flux, hospitals are screening all healthcare workers before the entrance. "You have to enter a special staff entrance where you are asked about any symptoms of fever, cough, and chills. You scan your badge and get a special sticker and PPE for the day," Dr. Keyser states. "Patient families are not allowed into the hospital aside from rare exceptions." In cases where coronavirus infection is suspected, only one resident is allowed to enter the room. "I've had to interview patients over the phone in these cases," says Dr. Lanman, "because the senior resident had to examine the patient." All of these policies are to ensure the safety of the healthcare workers while also providing patients the best care.
Reduced Patient Interaction
A core component of residency is interacting with patients and learning how to provide the best care possible. With the risks posed by in-person interaction, however, the traditional patient care model has been restructured. "We used to have everyone enter the room during rounds, but now only the senior physician enters the patient room," says Dr. Reghunathan. "We try to have the patient see a physician only once a day to reduce the spread of the infection." Telemedicine has also been heavily implemented to continue to provide quality doctor-patient interaction. Through video conferencing, interns can practice meaningful interaction while eliminating infection risk.
In addition to reducing patient exposure, typical patient volumes in the hospitals have changed. "The hospital is really empty," Dr. Keyser, who is on her Cardiac ICU rotation, says. "Patients with heart failure exacerbations, acute cardiac syndrome, and pacemaker infections are still being admitted to the hospital, but the overall number is less." Dr. Lanman had a similar scenario until the Surgeon General advised individuals who are showing symptoms to not wait. "After that announcement, we had a massive influx of patients into the medical wards," says Dr. Lanman. Although patient interaction may have decreased for several residents, other learning opportunities for residents continue through video conference – with an emphasis on education about developments concerning COVID-19. Lately, a large proportion of resident education for Dr. Keyser is focused on coronavirus, despite being on her Cardiac ICU rotation. "Grand rounds, noon conferences, morning reports are still happening but through video conferencing, and most of them cover coronavirus and present case reports of coronavirus patients."
For Dr. Reghunathan, video conferences presented by the surgical department are valuable but still cannot fully replace elective cases. "Elective cases are a huge part of how we learn. The operative experience is definitely a lot less on services during coronavirus." Despite the changes in their training, Drs. Keyser, Reghunathan, and Landman agree that interning in COVID-19's wake is an interesting challenge, and they are learning as much as they can from it.
For Drs. Reghunathan, Landman, and Keyser, this global pandemic was not what they expected during their first years as physicians, but they are vowing to learn as much as possible and stay prepared for whatever happens. "It's a guessing game trying to predict when and if there will be a spike of coronavirus cases in the hospital," says Dr. Keyser. "However, right now, we are focused on being prepared." There is much uncertainty about the course of coronavirus and how this will impact resident education and the hospital environment in the next couple of weeks and, potentially, months.
Medical examinations that are part of the typical resident education have been canceled by Prometric testing unless deemed essential. For Dr. Lanman, who had his USMLE Step 3 examination scheduled during this time, he must figure out what this news means "Do I study and assume my test is not canceled or do I scramble for another date? Will I have to take Step 3 past my intern year, which is not typical?" With the public health crisis ongoing and Dr. Lanman's neurology residency at Stanford upcoming, many questions still remain.
For Dr. Reghunathan, the patient volumes have been greatly reduced due to elective surgeries being canceled, but this may be the calm before the storm. "There is going to be a huge backup of elective cases, so it will be very busy within the coming weeks," says Dr. Reghunathan. "And we don't know if there will be a spike in coronavirus, putting more restrictions on elective surgeries." Residents have been trained in a specific way for decades; now, they are being forced to adapt in a matter of weeks, with their future medical education remaining uncertain. Additionally, residents are mapping out their future careers, but with the healthcare system hit hard by the pandemic, the future of medicine and physicians is unpredictable. "It is hard to say when things will go back to normal," states Dr. Reghunathan, "and what that normal will be."

Q: Catching and sending events in python xlib For my window manager project, I'm grabbing all ButtonPress events(so I can focus the window underneath the mouse). If the window is already focused I would like to just pass the event along to the window.
Here's the offending function
def left_button(self, event):
    if event.detail == 1 and Configurator.display.get_input_focus().focus == event.window:
        print "Sending Window The Event"
        event.window.send_event(event)
    else:
        try:
            Utils.focus_window(event.window)
        except:
            return

The code doesn't fail or send any errors it just doesn't act the way I expect, or any different from the original function(everything after the else statement)
Have I simple forgotten something basic or am I going about this all wrong?

Is the Renminbi undervalued or overvalued?
Is the Renminbi undervalued or overvalued?	Top
For any state, the ability to influence the actions of other actors is an essential component of exercising power. In terms of monetary policy, states can leverage their economic strength to enhance their currency's role within financial markets, international trade, and central-bank reserves. The greater role a country's currency plays in these international arenas, the greater its autonomy and influence. By maintaining autonomy over the Renminbi (RMB), China can directly manage key economic variables, including its currency's nominal exchange rate.
Historical USD to RMB Exchange Rate
China's exchange rate policies, however, have been heavily criticized abroad. In the past, the United States and European Union (each facing rising trade deficits with China) have claimed that China artificially deflated the value of the RMB in order to boost exports. This heated political rhetoric was based on a fundamental failure to distinguish between nominal and real exchange rates. China has bolstered the value of its currency as part of its transition to a more consumption-based economy. The following discussion examines the debate over RMB valuation, discusses how countries determine currency exchange rates, and analyzes the domestic effects of China's currency policies.
Why do countries consider the value of China's currency a political issue?
China's rapid economic rise has left its economic welfare increasingly intertwined with that of other countries. China has boasted a trade surplus with the United States since 1985, which has contributed to the United States' current account deficit. Additionally, China holds large amounts of US and other foreign securities as part of its strategy to manage the RMB's value. The European Union's trade deficit with China more than doubled in real terms between 2002 and 2006, and peaked at €180 billion in 2015, sparking concern over China's exchange-rate policy across the continent.
As a result of these economic linkages, the RMB's value relative to the dollar and the euro has been the subject of extensive political debate in the United States and the European Union. Critics have accused China of intervening in its currency markets to put itself at a competitive advantage. For years, the United States called for an appreciation of the RMB's value against the dollar on the presumption that this would boost US exports to China and aid American companies that directly compete with Chinese firms.
Many are apprehensive that China's ownership of American debt affords the Chinese economic leverage over the United States. This worry stems from a misunderstanding of sovereign debt. Learn more here.
While China's alleged currency manipulation has been a source of political clamoring for decades, countries have typically shied away from outright labeling China as a currency manipulator. In 2009, former European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso urged China to revalue the RMB, stating, "major imbalances because of trade or because of currencies can create problems in the future if they are not fully addressed." In 2017, US President Donald Trump turned away from earlier claims that China was the "grand champion" of currency manipulation, but kept China on a currency monitoring list created under the Obama Administration in 2016.
Nevertheless, China has long resisted calls from the United States, EU, and international economic forums to alter the RMB's exchange rate regime. China's leaders have claimed such pressure to be a violation of Chinese economic sovereignty, claiming that China's currency policy is a domestic concern. In March 2017, Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Zheng Zeguang noted that "China does not deliberately seek a trade surplus. We also have no intention of carrying out competitive currency devaluation to stimulate exports. This is not our policy."
If China wants to have a dynamic domestic financial system it has to move forward toward having a more market-oriented exchange rate regime as well.
-Daniel H. Rosen
Criticisms levied against China are often rooted in misinterpretations of international economics. All governments that print their own currency can set their currency's nominal exchange rate. Nominal exchange rates represent the relative value of a home country's currency compared to foreign currencies, and can be adjusted by a country in pursuit of specific policy goals, such as managing price stability and addressing employment levels.
In contrast, a currency's real exchange rate is determined by the market, and determines the actual purchasing power of a currency. Real exchange rates reflect the amount of goods and services in a domestic economy that can be exchanged for goods and services in foreign economies, and ultimately have a greater impact on global trade. While China fixes its nominal exchange rate, other countries like the United States also intervene in their domestic markets by setting their interest rates.
RMB Nominal and Real Exchange Rates
Policies that adjust nominal exchange rates have a limited effect on overall levels of trade. For example, despite decades of dollar depreciation against the yen throughout the late twentieth century, the United States did not accumulate a trade surplus with Japan, and actually experienced a widening trade deficit. Although Germany has very limited influence on the Euro's nominal exchange rate, the country has maintained a soaring trade surplus that reached $287 billion in 2017.
Instead, trade flows are primarily influenced by the market-determined real effective exchange rate, which is adjusted for differing levels of prices across borders, and therefore reflects the market forces of comparative advantage. Real exchange rates are also more stable than nominal exchange rates in the long run. In short, real exchange rates are more important than nominal exchange rates for determining the relative values of currencies.
How do countries manage their nominal exchange rate?
Every country with its own currency can choose between three exchange-rate regimes that determine how to maintain its nominal exchange rate in foreign exchange (forex) markets. A floating exchange rate allows the forex market to freely dictate the value of a currency relative to other currencies. Fixed exchange rates tie the value of one currency to another country's currency. Lastly, a pegged float ties the currency to another foreign currency, but allows deviations within a specified band.
Each exchange-rate regime has its benefits and drawbacks. Floating exchange rates allow countries to easily adjust to economic shocks, but are vulnerable to large value fluctuations that can harm investors. Fixed exchange rates generally promote lower levels of inflation and stable trade and investment, but can distort the true value of a currency and incentivize short-term speculation.
Key Currencies By Exchange Rate Regime
European Union Euro Free Floating
United States US Dollar Free Floating
China Renminbi Managed
Japan Yen Free Floating
United Kingdom Pound Sterling Free Floating
Brazil Real Floating
India Rupee Floating
Russia Ruble Free Floating
Canada Canadian Dollar Free Floating
Australia Australian Dollar Free Floating
As a rule of international economics, countries typically can only implement two of the following three policies: a fixed exchange rate, an open capital account, and an independent monetary policy. China has opted to maintain a fixed exchange rate and independent monetary policy, while keeping capital flows closed. China has worked to open its capital account in order to increase global RMB use, but this requires transitioning toward a floating currency in the long run.
Over the past couple of decades, China has frequently modified the RMB's exchange rate regime. Beginning in 1994, China placed a strict peg between the RMB and the US dollar, which promoted a more predictable trade and investment environment in China by preventing large swings in the currency's value. In 2005, China placed the RMB on a managed peg system, tying the RMB to a basket of international currencies which allowed for small amounts of appreciation. As a result, from 2005 through mid-2013 the RMB appreciated 34 percent on a nominal basis with the dollar. In August 2015, however, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) allowed the RMB to depreciate 2 percent with the US dollar. China's leaders cited the strengthening dollar as the key reason behind the move.
A Conversation with Daniel H. Rosen
Skip to another question
0:07 - Why is it so difficult to judge whether the RMB is valued appropriately, undervalued or overvalued?
2:41 - Why has China resisted allowing its currency to float freely? Under what conditions would China likely change this policy?
5:02 - How much does the value of the RMB matter for China's competitiveness?
8:19 - How does the RMB fit into China's overall plan to rebalance the economy?
10:13 - What have been the consequences of China's currency management policy for China and for the rest of the world?
Accurately determining the RMB's valuation based on its nominal exchange rate is complicated by the fact that China makes many short-run changes to its nominal exchange rate, all of which have a limited long-run impact on trade. China introduced the "counter-cyclical" factor into its fixing of the yuan in 2017, allowing China's banking authorities more power to resist market influences. However, by early 2018, China's central bank directed lenders to reduce the "counter-cyclical factor" to allow for more exchange rate flexibility.
What are the effects of China's currency policy for China?
In China's push to promote consumption-led growth, China has shifted its economic policy toward promoting a stronger RMB. China's efforts to strengthen the RMB also demonstrate a desire to improve the currency's international usage. Japan employed a similar strategy of yen internationalization following the Asian financial crisis of 1997–1998, which was designed to promote regional economic stability.
For China, RMB internationalization has started to deliver meaningful payoffs. In October 2016, the IMF entered the RMB into its basket of special drawing rights (SDR) currencies, which increases the acceptance of the RMB among official forex reserves. Inclusion into the SDR basket has made the RMB freely usable abroad, which has contributed to the currency's growing importance in overseas reserves.
Currency Composition of Global Foreign Exchange Reserves
The RMB's internationalization also brings the debate over the currency's value into the global spotlight. Strong dollar growth in 2015 caused the pegged RMB to rise against its other trade partners' currencies more quickly than intended. However, some analysis has suggested that the yuan's current strength may be exaggerated due to an overall weaker US dollar.
Should the RMB continue to internationalize, the currency could act as a complement to the dollar in the global financial system and boost China's prestige in the process. The RMB was the fourth most-used currency internationally in 2015, a marked shift from being the thirteenth-most used in 2012. According to a survey by the Bank of China, confidence in the international importance of the RMB is increasing among overseas enterprises and financial institutions. In 2018, Germany's central bank announced that it would include RMB into its currency reserves, a reflection of the currency's growing global importance.
SDR Composition, Before and After RMB Inclusion
Weight Before
Weight After
US Dollar 41.79 41.73
Euro 37.4 30.93
Renminbi – 10.92
Yen 9.4 8.33
Pound Sterling 11.3 8.09
To complement China's RMB internationalization, China's leaders have taken steps to strengthen it for the domestic market by opening the country's capital account. By doing so, however, China has allowed capital outflows to put downward pressure on the RMB's value as Chinese individuals and companies seize the opportunity to move more assets abroad (and thus into foreign currencies). This presents the PBOC with a significant management challenge. When the RMB is seen as weak, international traders tend to predict greater devaluation, further fueling capital outflows.
With assets moving abroad, the PBOC has intervened by purchasing large amounts of RMB in order to support its value. In 2015 alone, China spent over $500 billion of its foreign reserves to protect the RMB from getting shorted by traders. China imposed a number of new rules on overseas currency transfers in late 2016 and early 2017. China's state media has emphasized that these rules should not be considered capital controls, but instead as measures that target illegal activities, such as money laundering and terrorism financing. Nonetheless, the improved capital flow regulations and the increasing international use of the RMB have ultimately strengthened the currency's value.

The Dodger's "experiment" of using the tall veteran right hander as a reliever failed miserably in Friday evening's 9-3 loss to the Giants in the opening game of the final three game series. McCarthy allowed 6 runs and was unable to retire a single batter and provided more proof why he should not be anywhere near the Dodger's postseason roster. Honestly the guy should do himself and everyone else a huge favor and just call it a career. Seriously Brandon, hang up your spikes because the guy has nothing left. The guy is toast.
This afternoon the Dodgers will play the second game of the series as Clayton Kershaw will counter rookie left hander Ty Blach. The Giants still hold a one game advantage over the Cardinals for the second National League wild card. The Mets clinched at least a tie for the other wild card spot last night.
Dodgers Lineup @ San Francisco
Today's Dodger lineup:

Kershaw P
— Los Angeles Dodgers (@Dodgers) October 1, 2016
Clayton Kershaw 12-3 vs. Ty Blach-0-0
Game Time – 1:10 PM – TV-SNLA- KTLA 5
So who is this Ty Blach? He's a 25-year old left hander from Denver, Colorado. He was drafted by the Giants in the fifth round of the 2012 amateur draft. This is just his second MLB start and fourth major league appearance. He's tossed 9 innings and allowed 2 earned runs on 5 hits while striking out 4. In his first appearance in the majors he tossed 3 shutout innings against the Rockies back on September 5 in front of his home town crowd. On September 21 Blach pitched 3 shutout innings against the Dodgers in relief.
According to the scouting report Blach has three pitched with a fastball in the low 90's. Apparently he demonstrates good control but lacks a viable out pitch to put hitters away. Blach had a career 6.2 strikeout per nine rate in the minor leagues and is also a great fielding pitcher.
Clayton Kershaw will be making his final tune up before the postseason. This is his 21 start of the season and he is 12-3 with a 1.65 ERA in 142 innings pitched. He's struck out 168 and walked just 10 which has given him a 17-1 strikeout to walk ratio. Kershaw has faced the Giants four times this season and is 2-0 with two no-decisions.
In his last start he tossed seven shutout frames against Colorado and has a grand total of one walk in the month of September. Kershaw is 18-7 with a 1.58 ERA in 34 career starts against the Giants. Those include 5 shutouts and 274 strikeouts. Kershaw is 10-3 with a 1.30 ERA in his career pitching at At&t Park. Four of those five shutouts were pitched in San Francisco.

The Dodgers return to a more normal lineup today as Howie Kendrick bats lead-off and Chase Utley will man the keystone. Yasiel Puig is back in right field and the rest of the regulars have returned to the lineup. Remember these last two games are simulcast on KTLA 5 as Vin Scully broadcasts the final games of his legendary career.
The Dodgers need to get with the program and give the Giants some payback. It would seem they have the advantage today with a better pitching match-up. No more experiments please. I better not see Brett Anderson enter in the sixth inning this afternoon. Seriously or I will gouge my eyes out.

I want HFA vs the Nationals and have Gnats watch PS on TV.
Kersh looks good so far. Rookie lefty for the Gnats pitches like his hair is on fire. Gonzo has only hit so far……Cardinals beat the Pirates…..
Mark Timmons says:
You know, if Baez would pitch like that he might be unhittable. You can make a sandwich and drink a beer between his pitches.
We look horrible today. Who is this rookie anyway????
This rookie
pitcher is really nothing special.
It always seems like someone ambushes Kershaw for one HR when the offense is like this.
The Giants are having better at bats against Kershaw, then the Dodgers are having against the rookie pitcher.
And Howie shouldn't be batting at the top of the order.
He doesn't have patient at bats, and isn't hitting at all.
He needs sit on the bench, because he isn't helping the team.
He is an automatic out lately.
HawkeyeDodger says:
Guess we're seeing what happens when the regulars play against lefties.
That might be true or not, because this is the first time all year.
But we face another leftie tomorrow.
On the bright side…….
i got nothing
All of the positive momentum we had yesterday was taken, after going ahead of Bumgarner, by putting McCarthy into the game.
The four times that McCarthy was on a team that went to the post season, he never pitched in those four post seasons.
And there has to be a reason for that.
He must have been hurt, or not effective.
Quasimodo says:
There could really be something behind playing it out as scripted. If you think of how the "so called" home field advantage did for us the last couple times it's where Dodgers got eliminated and the opposite occurred not having it. However HFA would be important for the Pennant vs Giants, and that could very well come to be. I don't think it could be much sweeter than taking Giants out in the league championship playoffs. It seemed to me if Dodgers wanted some runs today all they'd of had to do was swing their bat a tad more aggressively. Those pitches weren't all that fancy!
Well, Friday and Saturday we go to DC.
Wait, I know what's happening: We're so mad at StL for 2013 and 2014 that we're losing to SF on purpose, just so we can return the favor and knock StL out!!!!!
Was this leftie pitcher today, much better then the lefties the team hit in San Diego?
Because Hairson didn't think he was anything special.
Hairston didn't have to face him. Come to think of it, they probably should have activated JHJ before September. He couldn't hit much worse than some of the guys on the bench lately.
Bruce Elliott says:
This team is starting to look like it has for the past three playoffs – scares me.
They have a good record against Washington this year, but I will not be surprised at the same results.
SP is not there (not good enough and they don't go long enough), and they can't hit lefties.
Big improvements this year in Mgr, BP, and adding youth but is it enough?
Here we go again. Regular season over and we sound like we didn't learn anything.
Are we really going into the new season, the playoff season, with the same negativity as we did 6 or 7 months ago?
I think we are feeling negative because we just lost two series, to teams, that have done nothing in this second half of the season.
And this last loss was against our biggest rival, who has won three World Series, in the last six years.
And with this win, the Giants edge closer to doing that again
Because we gave them the ammunition, to start there ascent to another, by giving the often injuryed pitcher McCarthy a try out, when he hasn't been able to pitch more then three good games, all year.
And the only thing we have been able to do, is win four National League West titles, with early exits in three of the four years, we have played in the post season.
And the one year we did advance farther, we didn't win the that series.
I know it doesn't bother you Bum, that the Giants are close to being in the post season again.
But everyone else is sick of the Giants waking up in the last week of the season, and being rewarded from short tournament play, to get all of the spoils of victory.
After the Dodgers have won the long 162 season, in four of those six years, that the Giant have took the World Series.
And even those three World Series that the Giants have won, has not changed there obnoxious fans one bit..
They still don't know how to act like they have been there before, even after winning these three recent World Series.
Nobody is going to roll over for the Dodgers, and the Giants have beaten the Dodgers 15 of the last 19 games at AT&T. It is their home field and they know at this point that they own the Dodgers in SF. That being said, Washington has 1 lefty and he is struggling…….It all starts in 5 days…..
OC Dodger says:
Holy smokes the negativity today! I was also disappointed the last two days but they are in the past. My son in law, a Giants fan, sent a selfie next to the SF World Champs trophies today. Obnoxious? Oh yeah. The positive mental attitude is here, just find it. Time to win for Vin. We owe him one!


Helsinki. The white, wintry city of unwelcoming service and terraces that close tooearly. I have started my plunge towards the seedy underbelly of paleonthology early thismorning. Waking up at 8:30, I downed two fish oil pills, a thousand milligrams of calcium and twenty micrograms of vitamin D. Now, after a pint of mild, dark beer and way too much vanilla-fudge flavored coffee, I feel ready to do what my fancy booted, skin tight jeaned son-of-a-gun of an Editor expects me to: write an article for Better Than Sliced Bread. This time, its all about science. My recent research indicates that the world of paleonthology, the study of thunder lizards, – or to use a more accurate academic term: dinosaurs – is going through a proverbial uproar, started by recent developments in the study of two most beloved members of the dinosaur clan.
First of all, the Triceratops in not a distinct dinosaur species. The mere thought makes me shudder and it still is difficult for me to grasp the full extent of this fact. There's no escaping the truth, ladies, gentlemen and those-in-between. Scientists, namely John Scannella and Jack Horner from Montana State University, have discovered that those dinosaurs that have been considered to belong to the Triceratops species are actually juvenile Torosaurus.
On what grounds, you ask? According to 4.9/5 rated news story (available at http://www.physorg.com/news198306111.html), "Scannella and Horner measured the length, width and thickness of the skulls [of the dinosaurs]. They examined the microstructure, surface textures and shape changes of the frills. Microscope studies revealed that the tissues of Torosaurus specimens are more heavily remodeled than those of even the largest Triceratops, strongly suggesting that Torosaurus specimens are in fact adult Triceratops, Scannella said. Even in Triceratops that were previously considered to be adults, the skull was still undergoing dramatic changes." Seems awfully convincing doesn't it?
Luckily, there is a silver lining to this cloud of utmost, unnamable blackness. As the first discovered Triceratops fossil specimen predates that of the Torosaurus, the name of the species will henceforth be Triceratops. Still, over a hundred years of scientific understanding is overruled by pesky scientists that even tried to falsify their own findings for three years, before accepting their dramatic conclusions.
In other dinosaur news, and approaching the sinister and macabre, another breakthrough in paleonthology reveals that Tyrannosaurus were hell bent on cannibalism! Again, the culprits to bring us this Promethean discovery are no other than Dr. Horner et al. You can read all about it on http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0013419, but I'll chew through the juicy bits here.
What Horner and his fellow scientists found was that four specimen of Tyrannosaurus from museum collections around the US bore bite marks that could only have been made by a large carnivorous dinosaur of the Late Maastrichtian era. Imagine them spitting out coffee and donut crumbs when they realized that Tyrannosaurus rex was the only carnivorous dinosaur large enough at that time to have made bite marks so large.
Yes, I can hear some of you (my girlfriend included) exclaiming that that's not solid proof of cannibalism at all. What if the marks were made by carrion insects or T. Rexes during combat for supremacy for the Late Maastrichtian 'hood?
Well, no, this does not seem to have been the case. No species of insects, lizards or mammals have been found that could have effected the toothmarks on the four Tyrannosaurus corpses. Further, teeth gnawing all the way to the bone are highly unlikely to occur during a mere turf war between two Tyrannosaurus – head wounds would be more likely in such a situation and those were not found by the avant gardists of stuffy fossils.
I rest my case and remain assured of your utter dumbfoundedness.
Esko Suoranta, close to midnight, out.


Private detectives must have a keen eye, excellent observation skills, and an analytical mind. Often referred to as private detectives, these professionals use a number of surveillance and investigative techniques to gather accurate information on the subject or situation in question. Private detectives are licensed to practice in the state in which they work, and may either work full time as employees or be contracted to work with private detective firms, police departments, private businesses and organizations, as well as individual clients.
Although the services they provide may differ depending on the case or industry in which they work, their skill sets are often very similar, as they are called upon to uncover facts and evidence, analyze information, and provide their clients with the results of their investigation.
Performing undercover investigations, performing surveillance activities, Documenting and reporting the results of investigations, interviewing people, researching.
Where Do Private Investigators Work?
Computer forensics services, Personal protection services, Undercover investigations, Supplier, vendor and employee screening programs, Crisis intervention services, Retail loss and prevention, Criminal investigation services, Polygraph services, Missing persons services, Pre-employment screenings, Personal investigations.
Civil investigation, Criminal investigation, Investigative business administration, Criminology and behavioral sciences, Terrorism and intelligence, Investigative law and ethics, Special victims/child abuse/nursing homes, Security, Computer forensics/Internet, Insurance investigation.
Private detectives may concentrate their careers on finding mission persons, performing background checks, performing investigative services, or conducting marital investigations. Private detectives may work alongside law enforcement officials during criminal investigations, or they may work as skip tracers alongside bail bondsman or bounty hunters. They may also specialize in uncovering insurance fraud or finding missing children.
Finally, private detectives may work in a more general capacity, providing a wide array of investigative services to clients. Regardless of the area or industry in which they work, private detectives follow a strict set of standards, which are generally dictated by state law. Many private detectives are members of state professional investigator associations, which also require them to work under a set of bylaws or a code of ethics.
What are the Requirements to Become a Private detective?
Although not generally a requirement for state licensure, many private investigation firms require their employees to possess a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or a similar program. Further, because many private detectives have worked in other areas of law enforcement or in the criminal justice field, they generally possess some type of formal education or training.
For example, it is quite common for retired police officers, police detectives, and military personnel to seek careers as private detectives.
To date, 43 states require state licensure to practice as a private detective. Even those states without state licensure often require licensing at the local level. Therefore, becoming a private detective the majority of the time involves not only seeking a formal education and training, but state licensure, as well. State licensure ensures that private detective work within the parameters of the law at all times and adhere to a strict set of laws and regulations.
A high school diploma or GED (General Educational Development Test), a minimum age (state requirements range from 18 to 25), A clean criminal record of felony convictions or convictions involving crimes of moral turpitude, Industry experience and/or a college education, A United States citizen or legal resident.
Some states require passing a state jurisprudence examination prior to becoming licensed, while other states require the completion of continuing education during every license renewal period.
A standard requirement for licensure as a private detective is a thorough background investigation, which often involves providing the licensing board or agency with a full set of fingerprints.
Finally, private detective must carry a surety bond to practice, although the minimum amount of the bond often varies according to state law.

DMG MORI's production completely CO2-neutral as of January 2021
Press Release Company
13.10.2020|DMG MORI focuses on green production of all machines worldwide
Bielefeld // Sustainably and comprehensively standing up for the environment: DMG MORI will manufacture all machines completely climate-neutral from 2021 onwards – from raw materials to delivery. DMG MORI's manufacturing solutions also provide the highest energy efficiency at the customers' premises. In addition, DMG MORI machines play a key role in the production of green technologies.
"Climate protection concerns each and every one of us. Technological leadership and environmental protection go hand in hand. DMG MORI therefore takes on complete responsibility," says Christian Thönes, Chairman of the Executive Board of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT. "From 2021, the entire value chain of our manufacturing solutions – from raw materials to delivery of our machines to the customer – will be CO2-neutral. This makes DMG MORI one of the first industrial companies worldwide to have a climate-neutral 'Product Carbon Footprint'. We also consistently improve the energy efficiency of our machines. In the production of environmentally friendly technologies we are an innovation leader."
Since May 2020, the "Company Carbon Footprint" of DMG MORI, which covers its own value creation, has been climate-neutral. DMG MORI avoids emissions in all areas, among others through modern heating, ventilation and cooling concepts. At the same time, DMG MORI uses self-generated regenerative energy and purchases exclusively green electricity at almost all locations. The remaining CO2 emissions, which cannot be avoided so far, are compensated by investments in sustainable, certified climate protection projects.
DMG MORI bundles its integrated initiatives for climate-neutrality into three areas:
GREENMACHINE: In addition to its own climate-neutral value creation, DMG MORI will also offset CO2 emissions that arise in the supply chain from 2021 onwards, for example in the production of raw materials such as cast steel. From January 2021, customers worldwide will receive completely climate-neutrally produced machines from all DMG MORI production plants.
GREENMODE: For many years, DMG MORI has been optimizing the energy and emission efficiency of its machines through specific CELOS apps, consumption-optimized components such as LED lighting, the recuperation of braking energy and intelligent control of all units.
DMG MORI products also protect the environment and conserves resources during operation at the customer's premises.
GREENTECH: DMG MORI advances the production and further development of green technologies. Customers use DMG MORI machines to produce highly innovative components, e.g. parts for wind power plants, hydroelectric power plants, fuel cells or electric mobility. For many years, DMG MORI has built up specific know-how to support its customers worldwide in Excellence Centers.

This quick and easy chicken stir-fry has its roots in Vietnamese cuisine. Tender chunks of boneless chicken seasoned with five-spice powder are stir-fried with garlic, ginger and scallions and coated in simple, sweet-and-salty combination of fish sauce and honey. Served Vietnamese-style with steamed rice (we used brown), sliced tomato, cucumbers and a drizzle of Nuoc Cham (recipe included), it makes a distinctively different, satisfying dinner.
Served Vietnamese-style over rice with sliced tomato and cucumber, this quick and easy stir-fry is made with boneless chicken thighs, garlic, ginger, scallions and a sweet-and-salty sauce made with fish sauce and honey.
Trim any excess fat from the chicken thighs, cut them into 3/4-inch pieces and transfer to a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil, season with five-spice powder and toss to coat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fish (or soy) sauce, honey and water until well blended. Set aside.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and stir fry just until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chicken and stir-fry until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes longer.
Add the fish sauce-honey mixture and toss to coat the chicken thoroughly. Cook for 1 minute, taste and season with freshly ground black pepper and a little more five-spice powder if desired.
Stir in the sliced scallions and remove from the heat.
Plate individual servings over steamed white or brown rice, garnish the plate with slices of fresh tomato and cucumber and spoon a little Nuoc Cham (recipe follows) or fish sauce over top.
Nuoc Cham is the most common of all Vietnamese dipping sauces. It's pungent flavor enhances a wide variety foods and is especially good drizzled over steamed rice or noodles.
Combine the warm water and sugar stirring until sugar has dissolved completely. Add the garlic, fish sauce, lime juice and Sriracha. Stir to combine, taste and adjust the flavors as desired. Add the carrots just before serving.


Jesus said, "If those pulling you say to you, 'Look, the kingdom is in the sky,' the birds of the sky will go before you. Or if they say that it is beneath the ground, the fish of the sea will go in, preceding you. And the kingdom of God is within you and outside you. Whoever knows himself will find this and when you know yourselves you will know that you are children of the living father. But if you will not know yourselves, you are in poverty and you are the poverty."


We have so much FEAR OF REJECTION in our hearts that we are incapable of acting on any of the information they contain. Most pick up books do nothing to help you blast through the wall of fear surrounding the moment of truth when we are faced with having to open our mouths and say something clever or appropriate or funny to a woman. I'm talking about a blinding, paralyzing, white-hot fear that makes it impossible to think, talk, act and sometimes even move (psychic paralysis!) when an actual opportunity presents itself.
The frustration of rejection hyper-sensitivity is indescribable. You simply cannot get within a mile of issues like charming them or getting a phone number when you can't even bring yourself to say something!
Afterwards, when your mind begins to clear and the rage begins to take hold, you may begin to remember what it was that you learned in the book that you were supposed to say. Sound familiar?
What causes this kind of crippling fear? You may be surprised when I show you how you got it from other men, and that it only "lights up" and shows itself in the presence of available women. The ˜Social Coward's Method' that you will find in Without Embarrassment is a technique that you can easily master which will always allow you to act free of the choking fear that you feel when meeting women.

The Revival: "It's Time To Go Away For A While"
Thread: The Revival: "It's Time To Go Away For A While"
WWE Superstars Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder of The Revival are "going away for a while" as they figure out their next career moves.
Dawson took to Twitter to share The Revival's intentions. He wrote, "Guys, it's time to go away for a while until we get everything figured out. See ya soon. #FTR" With the team's contracts reportedly expiring soon, speculation is rife over where The Revival may go if they decide to leave WWE.
For a short time, Dawson and Wilder were partnered with "The Viper" Randy Orton. The three frequently used their social media accounts to tease interest in jumping to All Elite Wrestling, with several hints and references towards their plans. Despite this, Orton would end up signing a new multi-year deal with WWE.
Dawson followed up by stating that his tweet resulted in his friends and fans asking for clarification. He is taking a break from social media and he will continue acting in the best interests of his family.
I've had many friends & fans ask me about this. I should've clarified, I'm taking a break from social media. I apologize for that vague tweet, but I do appreciate EVERYONE'S support. Everything I do is for my family. I only want the best for them. They're my #1.
Thank you.#FTR
— Scott Dawson (@ScottDawsonWWE) January 13, 2020
The Revival's comments come off the back of another recent tweet where they promised to "change everything" in 2020. Wilder summed up the team's years beginning in 2017, writing how "2017 was a wash. 2018 we got our groove back. 2019 we took control back. 2020 we change everything."
Despite this latest tease, The Revival appears to remain interested in a matchup against WWE Hall of Famers Harlem Heat. The team initially disrespected Booker T during the WWE TLC Kickoff show back in December.
Booker T has admitted he has spoken to his brother, Stevie Ray, about the matchup, with both teams appearing to be interested in a bout.
How will the Revival "change everything" in 2020? We should know within a matter of months.
BOW DOWN TO THE KING
***GAME OVER!***

Abstract : During pregnancy the maternal immune system has to develop tolerance towards the developing fetus. These changes in maternal immunity can result in increased severity of certain infections, but also in amelioration of autoimmune diseases. Pregnancy-related hormones have been suggested to play a central role in the adaptation of the maternal immune system, but their specific effects on innate immune function is not well understood. In a longitudinal study of pregnant women, we investigated innate immune cell function in response to toll-like receptors (TLR) 4 and 7 stimulation, two TLR pathways playing a critical role in early innate immune recognition of bacteria and viruses. IFNα production by TLR7-stimulated pDCs was decreased in early pregnancy, and increased towards the end of pregnancy. In contrast, pro-inflammatory TLR4-induced TNFα production by monocytes was increased during early pregnancy, but declined after the first trimester. Changes in cytokine production were associated with changes in pregnancy-related hormones and monocyte subpopulations over the course of pregnancy. These data demonstrating a significant association between pregnancy-related hormones and modulation of innate immune responses mediated by TLRs provide novel insights into the immunological adaptations occurring during pregnancy.

Hamilton Relay Selected New Provider of Captioned Telephone Services in Tennessee
Hamilton Relay Now Providing Captioned Telephone Services in 18 States and the District of Columbia
September 7, 2010, Aurora, Nebraska – Hamilton Relay announced today that they have been selected as the new provider of Captioned Telephone (CapTel®) service in the State of Tennessee. As a result of a competitive bid process, the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA) voted unanimously to award the state CapTel contract to Hamilton Relay. Hamilton Relay began providing CapTel service to Tennesseans on September 1.
Captioned Telephone is similar to closed captioning on television and provides individuals who are hard of hearing the opportunity to "see what they say" by reading captions of telephone conversations conveniently from a captioned telephone. Specially trained operators use advanced voice recognition technology to convert everything that's said by the standard phone user into captions. Captioned Telephone users can listen and read what the other person is saying on the large, bright screen of a CapTel phone. It is free to use CapTel Service, and captions are available in English or Spanish. The CapTel phone is free to Tennessee residents who qualify, ensuring that everyone who may benefit from captioned telephone will have access to the service.
"We are thrilled that the launch of our service coincides with the 20th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as it is a reminder of the impact that relay service has had on the lives of people with hearing loss. We look forward to serving the residents of Tennessee," said Dixie Ziegler, vice president of Hamilton Relay. "Our technology is easy-to-use, rich in features and makes telephone communication more enjoyable for individuals who are hard of hearing. We are committed and dedicated to serving the residents of Tennessee so that no one ever has to miss a word of what is being said on the telephone."

Because Scott and White Health Plan is the largest health care provider in Central Texas, customers have mixed feelings about this company. For some consumers, Scott and White Health Plan offers comprehensive insurance at low rates and also allows them to see their preferred providers. However, there have been an increasing number of reports that indicate that Scott and White Health Plan has issues when it comes to dealing with more complex medical issues.

Scott & White bills exponentially post appointment date! Horrible customer service! This is the only provider that bills excessively after your initial appointment.
I have received 5-6 bill statements totaling up to $500 for a biopsy exam when I have insurance. The bills are for different amounts which is totally overwhelming and confusing. I am unsure what the final amount is that I owe and why. When you contact customer service, it is a lengthy process considering it takes probably 20-30 minutes until you actually speak with a representative.
I have vowed never to be scammed by this healthcare provider again and also suggest others to do the same.
Stay away from Scott & White Healthcare because of poor customer service regarding deceitful billing and excessive billing. I have never felt this cheated, scammed and misled by any other health insurance provider!
This insurance is horrible because if you have this plan you are only given minimal treatment. I think an easy analogy of the type of care you receive is to compare to the following; if I had an auto body repair shop and owned an auto insurance company a conflict of interest might become a problem. For example, if a car insured under my insurance plan came into my body shop–would I be tempted to use cheaper parts and labor that would make my profit margin higher for both of my companies?
I really believe from my own experience that patients with Scott and White Health plan are treated with minimal services as compared to patients with other insurance. My quality of care over and over has convinced me that since Scott and White are the ONLY hospital in my area I need to change Insurance companies in order to receive fair and adequate treatment from Scott and White.
Nikki's review is absolutely right. We're getting bills dating several months back which are already past due and they expect us to pay them in full.
Customer support from billing to benefits is non-existent, they just give you a runaround. Nothing gets resolved ever and you as a client have no slightest idea on what is covered and what is not. There is no transparency whatsoever. Thank God I have a choice.
Horrible, shady, scam, dishonest, most-unethical insurance company.
Hold times are ridiculously long 40 to 60 min on some days. Got plan through Obama Care. They raised the premiums after I signed up through plan and change my copays for specialists through BAIT AND SWITCH.
I have a Scott & White plan thru my employer. After about 7 months of paying premiums, I broke my wrist and finally needed to actually use the insurance.
After a trip to the emergency room, a trip to my family doctor to refer me to an orthopedic surgeon, a trip to the orthopedic doctor to cast my wrist and two follow-ups… oh and 7 months later, Scott & White has paid $0.00. That's right, not one penny! I've spent countless hours on the phone with their customer service department.
We've conferenced with the medical billing offices trying to resolve this and it looks like my $1000 copay (in or out of network} is a joke. So far, I've got bills for $823.00 for the ER doctor, $940.47 for the ER, $83.92 for the radiologist, $55.93 for the wrist brace/sling, and $693.00 for the orthopedic surgeon and bills for the remainder of the doctor visit after the $50.00 copay.
So needless to say, they have the money for premiums, and haven't paid out one red cent. I'd rather pay the federal government the fine for not having insurance than pay these criminals! So mad!
Scott & White is a highly respected name in Texas healthcare, as is their new partner, Baylor Health. I selected Scott & White Vital Traditions insurance on the basis of their healthcare reputation. I have to say that it has been a disappointment. Customer service is abysmal.
I once held on the phone for an hour and twenty minutes before I got to speak to a minimally trained customer service rep. Most waits have been 20 to 45 minutes. The doctors in their network are exceptional…five stars.
However, there are so few of them that you wait 3-4 months for an appointment. They denied a specialty drug prescription that I have been on for 20 years. My PCP had to write two appeal letters, and I wrote another two before they grudgingly approved what every other insurance company before them had approved without question as medically necessary.
Lastly, I've had three different instances where they did not pay the provider what they were supposed to, and I was back-billed for hundreds of dollars they should have paid. Oh, and I forgot their supplemental dental policy, which is totally worthless.
The only two providers they supposedly had in their network both said they didn't accept their plan. Maybe they will eventually grow into the Scott & White name, but at the moment, their insurance company is a disgrace.

Szczekociny () is a town on the Pilica river, in Silesian Voivodeship, in southern Poland, with 3,612 inhabitants (2019).

Even though Szczekociny administratively belongs to the Silesian Voivodeship, it is part of the historic region of Lesser Poland. It was granted town rights in 1398.

History

Szczekociny was the location of a motte-and-bailey castle from the 13th-14th century, which is now an archaeological site. First mention of Szczekociny comes from 1307. At that time, the village belonged to the Odrowąż noble family. It was administratively located in the Lelów County in the Kraków Voivodeship in the Lesser Poland Province of the Kingdom of Poland. In the late 14th century Szczekociny became the seat of the Odrowąż family, emerging as a local trade and craft center. It was granted town rights in 1398. In the 16th century, the town, together with other locations of Lesser Poland, enjoyed the period of prosperity known as the Polish Golden Age. In the mid-17th century, however, it was completely destroyed by the Swedes, during the Swedish invasion, and did not recover until the 18th century, when it belonged to the Dembiński noble family, whose efforts resulted in reconstruction of most buildings. The owners remodelled local parish church and built a palace, which still exists, and which in 1787 hosted King Stanislaus Augustus. The Battle of Szczekociny was fought near the town on June 6, 1794, during the Kościuszko Uprising.

After the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Szczekociny was annexed by the Kingdom of Prussia, then it passed to the short-lived Duchy of Warsaw in 1807 and ultimately became part of Russian-controlled Congress Poland after Napoleon's defeat and the duchy's dissolution in 1815. In the 19th century Szczekociny changed hands several times, belonging to the families of Czacki, Lubieński and Halpert. During the January Uprising, on January 23, 1864, a Polish insurgent unit attacked Russian troops stationed in the town. As punishment for the uprising, in 1870 the Russian authorities demoted Szczekociny to the status of a village, and at that time, first Jews began to settle there.

Following World War I, in 1918, Poland regained independence and control of Szczekociny. In the Second Polish Republic, it was part of Kielce Voivodeship, and on January 1, 1923, town rights were restored. In the 1920s Szczekociny had over 6,000 inhabitants, the most in its history.

Following the joint German-Soviet invasion of Poland, which started World War II in September 1939, the town was occupied by Germany until 1945. The war resulted in the death of 2,000 residents, including 90 percent of its Jewish residents, and the destruction of over 75% of the town. During the war Szczekociny was a major center of anti-German resistance. In the summer of 1944, as part of Operation Tempest, local Home Army units tried to capture Szczekociny, destroying bridges over the Pilica and the Żebrówka rivers.

Since 1999, it has belonged to Silesian Voivodeship, despite the fact that it had never been part of Silesia.

On 3 March 2012 a train crash took place near Szczekociny, when two passenger trains collided head-on. 16 passengers were killed. The incident provoked condolences from the leaders of a number of European countries.

Jewish community of Szczekociny

In 1937, two years before the outbreak of the Second World War, there were 3,018 Jews in Szczekociny, which made up slightly more than 50% of the entire number of inhabitants. Pictures of the remains of the Jewish part can be viewed at Szczekociny – YouTube. In 1942 according to the Nazi German plans for the Final Solution, 1,500 Jewish residents of Szczekociny were deported to the Treblinka extermination camp. Others were shot in Szczekociny or Sedziszow, where they were taken before their final deportation.

A group of Jews from Szczekociny, including two families with children, was hidden by Polish farmer Jan Molenda in the nearby village of Sprowa, however the Germans discovered the hideout, murdered captured Jews on the spot and arrested Molenda, who luckily managed to escape and hide from the Germans until the end of the occupation (see Rescue of Jews by Poles during the Holocaust).

Some 10% of the Jewish residents survived the genocide, such as Izik Mendel Bornstein, who survived amongst others Auschwitz. Bornstein's son Yossi (founder and CEO of Shizim Group) has been at the forefront of renegotiating the relationship with a renovation of the current cemetery and synagogue, under the now full support of the local mayor. Another witness and survivor is Wolf Zylbersztajn (1919-2011). Wolf Zylbersztajn's story is retold by his son Daniel Zylbersztajn. Auschwitz survivor Leon Zelman (1928-2007) also writes in the first chapters of his book "Ein Leben nach dem Überleben" about his childhood and youth in Szczekocziny.

The local football club is Sparta Szczekociny. It competes in the lower leagues.

The Polish Cyclo-cross Championships were held in Szczekociny in 2010 and 2020.

Q: AngularJS: How to expose directive's method to nested directives, like ng-click? I've read the most of similar topics, but my question is still unanswered.
I hava  directive:
directive.repeatable = function () { return {
    restrict: 'A',
    scope: {
        data: '=repeatableData',
        add: '@'
    },
    controller: ['$scope', '$element', '$attrs', function ($scope, $element, $attrs) {
        $scope.add = function() {
            console.log("ADD");
        }

    }]
}

I need to have an isolated scope and yet need to expose and add method to nested DOM elements:
<div repeatable repeatable-data="data">
    <div ng-repeat="item in data">
      {{ item }}
    </div>
    <button ng-click="add()">Add</button>
</div>

How can I access add() method of parent directive? Tried: $parent.add(), $scope.$parent.add(), add: '&add'. But I guess I just don't get it.
P.S. I cannot really access the data property of the repeatable directive, instead, both repeatable-data and item in data point to the same "model".

A: UPDATE
Check my other answer: Why I can't access the right scope?
If you really want the inner content to be part of the isolated scope you can do it like so:
app.directive('repeatable', function () {
  return {
    restrict: 'A',
    transclude: true,
    scope: {
        data: '=repeatableData',
        add: '@'
    },
    link: function(scope, elm, attr, ctrl, $transclude) {

      $transclude(scope, function(clone){
        elm.append(clone);
      });

      scope.add = function() {
          console.log("ADD");
      }

    }

  }
});

Q: See more/Add more rows in table angular Ive googled so much, but I cant figure out what Im not getting. I search for the example in the image below, but I can only find how to extend one particular row in the table.
I want to add more individual rows to the table when the "see more" btn is clicked from the API. Am I searching for the wrong thing, since I cant be able to find anything, or any packages that supports this? If so, what is it called that I cant be able to understand? Im using Angular as framework
img of the table with the see more btn

A: Since I don't know what is your code I imagine you has a table with data and some like

  {{element.prop1}}
  {{element.prop2}}

Just can use slice pipe and a variable "page"
page:number=0 //<--declare variable in your .ts

  {{element.prop1}}
  {{element.prop2}}

  <td colspan="2" *ngIf="page*6<elements.length>
    <button (click)="page=page+1">more</button>

If you has a table with values (really you should use tables only to show tabulated data) you can has a variable "more"
    more=false; //<--declare variable in your .ts

      {{element.prop1}}

      {{element.prop2}}

    ....

        <button (click)="more=true">more</button>

    <ng-container *ngIf="more">

        {{element.prop3}}

        <button (click)="more=false">less</button>

   </ng-container>
