Your Perfect Friendly Housesitters - responsible, reliable couple available to care for your house and pets!
I am a retired university educated Civil Servant and my wife Anne is a part time college lecturer. We enjoy travel and have been lucky enough to visit Australia, America and Canada in recent years in addition to mainland Europe. We enjoy dancing which we have done for 5 years and love nothing more than to trip the light fantastic. We also enjoy walking and visiting places of interest both at home and abroad. I also enjoy cooking and like nothing more than experimenting with recipes.
We would like to enjoy more travel both within the UK and further afield and looking after some furry friends would be a bonus. We have had dogs in the past and recently lost our much loved family pet Keira and would welcome the opportunity to care for and spoil other peoples' pets.
We are both animal lovers and as well as having dogs over the years we have also had pet rabbits and hamsters. In addition we also dog sit for our neighbour, looking after Zippy his Golden Retriever, when he goes on holiday and care for our daughter's pet rabbit Bella when she is off on her travels.
We have just had Des and Anne dog and house sit for us. We have a young wilful dog and prior to meeting Des and Anne we were anxious, however on meeting them we instantly realised they were the ideal guardians for Belle. (Our home). We went away with total confidence. Whilst away we received daily updates and photographs of Belle. They took Belle everywhere with them and introduced many new experiences to her. Both Des and Anne are calm caring people who have warm personalities. On return home our house was immaculate and had made us a fabulous meal and the house was stocked with essentials. We feel we have made friends and will be keeping in touch with both in the future. We would have them back in an instant and Belle has missed them since they left. We cannot recommend Des and Anne highly enough and anyone who is lucky enough to have them as their sitters will not be disappointed.
I have known Des for well over 20 years. He would make a quite amazing dog sitter for like me he is quite simply a doggy person. He is reliable, honest and totally trustworthy.
He had a German Shepherd called Kiara till last year and he looked after my dog, Zippy, a Golden Retriever when I was away on holiday.
Desmond is reliable, trustworthy and is highly organised. He is very tidy and he sets high standards. He has a lovely natural way with animals. He is patient and calm. He is aware of health and safety and would ensure that any animal he was responsible for would be safe and well cared for. I cannot recommend him more highly and feel that he and Anne would be perfectly suited to your requirements.

Oh my! I don't know what I was expecting with this CD … actually, I thought it was going to be second-rate, diluted folk music; something about the calligraphy font on the front cover. But the album opens up with a big, classy, big band-era sounding rock extravaganza and goes on from there to 40s and 50s crooner hits with "fun" pschedelia thrown in (think Flaming Lips, not Jefferson Airplane). Then some stuff comes off like smooth recent indie singer-songwriter rock with some clean prog. Make it Bloom is chockful o' personality. I don't think I've quite ever heard indie rock done like this, but then again, maybe that's cause I don't listen to New Pornographers and Shins. Rich horns contribute to the classy, festive air; piano lines glimmer in "Leave of Absensce." Synths peek out from time to time. It's very unique, very earnest and somewhat quirky. All in all, quite tasty.


Bonus: Here is Rowan last week on Mad Money with Jim Cramer.
Of course, I've got to throw in one video about our award-winning call-back solution. This video includes an interview with two executives from Nutrisystem, explaining how they achieved solid ROI with call-backs. I was reminded of this one because it was featured in our new whitepaper: The Contact Center Guide to Managing Spikes in Call Volume.

POSTED: June 29, 2010 7:30 a.m.
White lightning, an illicitly distilled and seldom-seen liquor for which parts of Georgia were once well known, thundered back into the limelight Thursday morning when Liberty County Multi Agency Crack Enforcement Team agents busted an apparent moonshine still.
Authorities executed a search warrant for Hershel Everrett Johnson's home in the 2400 block of Screven Fork Road and found an operational moonshine manufacturing still in a shed adjacent to the home. Agents also seized several marijuana plants found growing on the property.
The MACE team received a tip about the moonshine operation as the result of another case Liberty County Sheriff's Office deputies worked on, according to Capt. David Edwards.
Edwards, who would not go into detail for fear of identifying his source said, "An officer who was working on another case was told by a confidential informant moonshine was being manufactured on the property."
MACE Commander James Reid said his squad executed the warrant at about 6:30 a.m. in search of the still and narcotics on the property. "We found the still as well as ingredients to manufacture liquor, as well as dozens of empty bottles which is used to place the liquor in," he said.
In the shed, agents found two 55-gallon drums containing fermenting corn, wheat and sugar. Hot air, thick with the smell of alcohol, swirled around a drum connected to a radiator, pipes and a condenser. A water hose, likely used to cool the product, and a propane tank were discovered in close proximity to the still. Nearby, a five-gallon bucket containing what appeared to be finished moonshine. An agent who declined to be identified said, "This was a significant operation."
According to Reid, Johnson was arrested and charged with manufacturing liquor and marijuana.
The discovery of an active moonshine operation in Liberty County is unusual, said Reid, who couldn't recall the last time a still was busted in the area. "I think it was in the late 1990s," he said.
Agents on the scene destroyed the still using hammers.

Home TV Shows Reviews	'Archive 81' Netflix Series Review – Who is Watching Whom?
This Netflix supernatural horror TV show throws you off your grid from the very first shot
Aalaya Sonti	- Sat, 15 Jan 2022 08:14:59 +0000	761 Views
The story revolves around an archivist named Dan. He comes across a project from a company named LMG. He is called for the retrieval of a set of tapes that were damaged in a fire accident in the Visser Apartment Complex. However, these tapes being very fragile can't be moved and Dan, our protagonist would have to work at a remote research facility outside of the privileges of the network, internet, or any contact with people of the outside world.
The story then begins to unravel slowly with the introduction of our second protagonist Melody – the woman to whom these tapes belong. As part of Melody's research into the Visser Apartment community, she records every interaction she has, and these damaged tapes are those that Dan must restore.
The story thus unfolds in two different timelines. The first is the present with Dan, in which the audience does not know what will happen at the end. The second one is set in the past with Melody where the ending is established – the burning down of the apartment. The events that lead to this horrendous ending of the past are thus being uncovered in the present.
The two timelines add to the element of suspense by fragmenting the narrative of the story. It resembles a puzzle where although each piece contributes to the picture, the end image isn't revealed until all the pieces match. Each episode thus adds a piece to the story but is successful in not blowing wide open the ending of the show.
The timelines are brilliantly blended causing fluidity through Dan's hallucinations and dreams. This narrative builds the curiosity of the audience keeping them on the edge throughout.
Another aspect that plays out well for the show is the characterization. Each main character, Dan, Melody, Jess, or Virgil is provided with a motive for their actions. They are blind characters that simply help the story to progress to the end. The actions of every character have purpose and motive, providing the audience with insight into their lives.
The audience empathizes with the characters and helps the story flow organically. This is seen in the reason for Dan to take up the project, in the case of Melody and her zeal to find her birth mother, and Jess' bond with Melody and their aligned and coinciding childhood.
The mysteries are abundant which several unanswered questions that the story explores. These include the company's interest in these tapes, Dan's past and recruiting him for the task, the reason the building burnt, the cult and the residences of the building, Jess' behavior, and many more.
The show is filled with layers of voyeurism which heightens the tension built in the story.
Needless to say, Mamoudou Athie (Dan) and Dina Shihabi (Melody) have done an excellent job. However, the person who stands out is Ariana Neal, the character who plays Jess. The sound, Foley, and use of silence are exceptional. The color palette is dark. All these elements blend in perfectly with the atmosphere that is intended to be set.
Although the story creates a sense of urgency, it is stretched to be 8 hours long. As a result, it can be exhausting.
However, the show is a must-watch.
Final Score – [8/10]

Q: script to connect to a "list.txt" of servers I am trying to find a way to connect to a list of servers written in a simple textfile to run one command and write the output to a file...
The small problem is, I have to login with a password... but it would not a problem to paste the password into the script.
the full command would be:
ssh "server_from_list.txt uptime | awk -F, '{sub(".*up ",x,$1);print $1}' >> /home/kauk2/uptime.out
lets assume the password is: abcd1234
Any suggestions??? I am not fit in scripting, sorry...
Many thanks to you all in advance...
regards,
Joerg

A: Ideally you should set up password-less login, but failing that you can use sshpass. First, get a single command working by trying the following:
export SSHPASS=abcd1234

Then you can try:
sshpass -e ssh user@server1 'uname -a'

When you get that debugged and working, you can use GNU Parallel to run the command on all servers in a file called list.txt
user@server1
user@server2
user@server3
user@server4

The command will be:
parallel -k -a list.txt sshpass -e ssh {} 'uptime'

I wrote four choir arrangements for this tour, a fun full-circle moment for me as I toured with Mike a decade ago as part of his tech crew. He performed in the USA, Enniskillen Northern Ireland, Inverness, London, and Budapest, with local choirs joining him and music director Jeff Taylor in each city.
Did the music prep for orchestrators Kristin Wilkinson, Larry Paxton, and Buddy Skipper again this year, for artists including Jewel, Charles Kelley, Martina McBride, Jennifer Nettles, Darius Rucker, Brian Setzer, and Michael W. Smith.
This concert at the University of Alabama in Huntsville featured the band Act of Congress with members of the Huntsville Symphony Orchestra, Huntsville Community Chorus, and the U.S. Army Materiel Command Band. Don Hart was the orchestrator, and I did the music prep.
I did the music prep for a new arrangement written by Carl Marsh for featured artist Kathy Mattea, "Unto Us a Child Is Born," featuring the Belmont Symphony Orchestra and choir. The show was broadcast nationally on PBS on December the 21st.
Don Hart orchestrated four new songs for Paul Reisler for a concert with the Manassas Symphony Orchestra, and asked me to help out with transcriptions and music prep.
Carl Marsh orchestrated this new work for Paul Rom, I did the music prep, and the Louisville Philharmonia gave the world premiere.
I did the music prep for several new arrangements and orchestrations written by Carl Marsh, including a mini-suite from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker that involved entering 14,000+ notes into Finale (giving me the chance to make it through a couple audiobooks while I worked).

A reflection on the GAA's ban an players taking part in foreign games.
Kevin Moran is one player who benefited from the ending of the ban.
PLAYING AND ENJOYING football has long drawn criticism from those in positions of power.
Such was the low view in which football was once held in England that its most famous playwright, William Shakespeare, had one character insult another by calling him a "base football player" in King Lear.
The folk tradition of Shrovetide (that's Pancake Tuesday to you and me) football in Derby was outlawed in the 1860s. Soccer in Ireland began to be played from the late 1870s onwards, but was not without those who attempted to prohibit it, even if it wasn't exactly outlawed.
placed on members of the military and the Royal Irish Constabulary (the name until 1922 of Ireland's police force) from joining the GAA.
But in 1905, a new ban was enacted that forbade any member of the GAA from either participating in or even watching 'foreign' games. Of course, the foreign games being referred to weren't all foreign games. In reality the ban imposed on the GAA membership was explicitly about them playing cricket, hockey, rugby or soccer.
The ban on foreign games wasn't a straightforward affair however and its long and tangled history came to an end in 1971, when it was decided at that year's annual GAA Congress to delete the ban from the rulebook. But attempts to have the ban removed had occurred prior to its deletion in 1971.
the increasing Anglicisation of Irish culture.
"There is grave danger of a big land-slide towards West Britonism as exemplified by the Jazz-Soccer-Golfstick mentality which is on the increase in this country today".
Others saw it, in a post-independence Irish Free State, as a relic drawn from a different time, but it would take almost another fifty years before the ban was lifted.
Amid all of this rancour, the ban persisted. In what must surely stand as the most famous example of its application, 1938 saw Douglas Hyde banned from the GAA for attending an international soccer match.
Hyde, founder of the Gaelic League, then President of Ireland and long-standing patron of the GAA, the man who said in 1892 that "the work of the [Gaelic athletic] association in reviving our ancient national game of camán, or hurling, and Gaelic football, has done more for Ireland than all the speeches of politicians for the last five years…." was removed as a patron of the GAA in 1938 following his attendance of an Irish international fixture between Poland and Ireland at Dalymount Park.
Despite the seeming lunacy of insisting on banning Hyde, this did not deter the GAA, nor did it stymie the continued enforcing of a rule considered anachronistic and increasingly recognised more in the breach than in the observance. So-called vigilance committees were operated in some places that sent trusted club servants out to soccer and rugby matches to spy on the crowds and players in case they should find any members enjoying these 'foreign' games. If you were caught, you were liable for suspension from your GAA involvements.
However, as Donal McAnallen has pointed out in his history of the GAA at third level institutions, the rules were applied more liberally in certain cases. Famously, Moss Keane, one of Ireland's great rugby players, only began his rugby career in college, while also playing Gaelic football.
So it was that by the late 1960s, the ban on foreign games had all but run out of steam. Yet, its death was a slow and strange one, played out in the national press. Its decline and eventual deletion came amid growing tensions in Northern Ireland following an escalation of violence there as a civil rights movement turned into open sectarian conflict.
Whether they would have wished it or not, the GAA found itself in a changed and changing Ireland. Soccer was no longer to be found alone in those enclaves of the game like Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Waterford , or Derry. It was increasingly a phenomenon experienced by those who had never attended a League of Ireland game in their lives.
Anyone with a television and a half decent signal could watch soccer in Ireland with increased regularity from the 1960s onwards. In 1966, RTÉ relayed almost 18 hours of television coverage of that year's World Cup, hosted and won by neighbours England.
In 1970, the number of hours devoted to televised coverage of the World Cup had grown. That World Cup was also a chance for RTÉ to show off its ability to broadcast live television in colour. With hours of soccer on television, and with new soccer clubs popping up in territory once staunchly GAA like Bridge United in Sixmilebridge, Co. Clare in 1967, the tide was very much against the maintaining of the ban on foreign games in the GAA.
One early sign in 1970 that some felt action needed to be taken against the ban saw a small group of players and ex-players from Drogheda wielding placards outside Croke Park on the day of the Leinster Gaelic football final between Meath and Mayo. The protesters, according to the Sunday Independent newspaper report, also had hopes of organising a one-day strike against the ban's continued existence.
It was in this milieu that the GAA gained a new president, Pat Fanning, from Waterford. Fanning would have the unenviable job of ushering in a new era, and would oversee the eventual deletion of the ban from the GAA rule book.
A few months after the Leinster final protest, two GAA clubs in Monaghan tabled a motion for their upcoming county convention to have the rule deleted, followed in December by a similar vote being put by a Wexford based hurling club, the Enniscorthy Shamrocks, in December of 1970, according to the Irish Independent.
As Christmas time approached, Sport in Action, a magazine programme on the state television service hosted a debate on the rule. The critical mass for the ban's deletion was mounting, even if some within the GAA wished to see it maintained like Killarney Legion football club and Killarney hurling club.
It is perhaps ironic then that one of the key drivers of the change was also a Kerryman, Tom Woulfe, who had spent much of his life and career in Dublin and was a founder member of the Dublin Civil Service Gaelic football team in the 1930s. Woulfe was a passionate advocate of removing the ban, following his experiences with fellow Irishmen in the Second World War, who happened to be rugby and soccer players.
Woulfe had a letter urging clubs to seek the ban's removal printed in some fifty provincial newspapers. Around the same time, a special meeting was set up between Pat Fanning, the GAA president, Neil Blaney TD, president of the Football Association of Ireland, Judge JC Conroy, chairman of the Leinster Branch of the Irish Rugby Football Union and Ronnie Delaney who won gold for Ireland in 1956 at the Melbourne Olympic games in the 1500 metres.
Part of this historic bringing together of these major figures in Irish sports and public life was to discuss the future of Irish sport and the future of the ban. By February of 1971, some 19 different county boards (including London) had voted in favour of getting rid of the ban.
With pressure mounting on the issue, that year's annual congress of the GAA saw the momentous decision to remove Rule 27, the ban, from the rulebook of the organisation.
That year's congress was held in Belfast, and there was an undoubted symbolism about a rule that had become emblematic of the GAA's commitment to Irish nationalism being removed in a city that like the rest of Northern Ireland was being torn apart by civil conflict over national identity.
Pat Fanning's speech on the occasion of the lifting of the ban reflected as much. In the weeks, months and years following the removal of the ban, it took time to disentangle people from it and in the initial period following the decision to remove the rule, the daily newspapers carried stories of those affected by the ban's end.
in the Drogheda squad in soccer, recent winners of the FAI Youth Cup. Just a season earlier this would have been an impossibility.
The days of leading double lives between your passions for two types of football were at an end in Ireland. No more would vigilance committees be seen scanning crowds at soccer grounds Dalymount Park, Kilcohan, Turner's Cross or the Market's Field.
No more were the footballers of Ireland base football players.

The European Southern Observatory is home to the VLT and its array of (mostly) optical instruments. Among those instruments is FORS2 (FOcal Reducer and Spectrograph), a visible-spectrum imager and low-resolution spectrograph.* For the past five years, German astronomers working through the ESO have been searching for a quasar with a redshift higher than 6.5. The higher the redshift, the more distant the object; the more distant the object, the closer the object to the originary moment of the universe. Until recently, the most distant quasars we've observed have had redshifts of approximately 6.4.** This means we're seeing these objects as they were about 870 million years after the Big Bang. We know there are more distant objects out there, but they can't be viewed with instruments tuned to the visible spectrum. They're simply too far away; by the time the radiation from these objects reaches us, it's been so stretched by the expansion of the universe, it can only be detected in the infrared.
Enter the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS). As its name implies, UKIDSS is a consortium of astronomers working together to conduct infrared surveys of the sky using the Wide Field Infrared Camera (WFCAM) on the UKIRT on Mauna Kea. Imagine the celebration when the team discovered a quasar with a redshift of 7 (actually, 7.085±0.003). Now known as ULAS J1120+0641, this new quasar shows us the universe only 770 million years after the Big Bang—100 million years earlier than previously measured quasars. If those numbers aren't big enough to give you pause, here's another one to consider: it took 12.9 billion years for the light from ULAS J1120+0641 to reach us. That definitely qualifies as far, far away.
But the story's not quite over yet. Before announcing the quasar's discovery in the journal Nature last week, the research team conducted some follow-up observations at the VLT and Gemini North to confirm the object's distance from us. I could type for ten more minutes, but that still wouldn't give me enough time to list all the groups and countries contributing to the VLT and Gemini Telescopes (and my typing speed is quick). I know I'm supposed to be in a state of sadness over the end of the U.S. space shuttle program, and I am, but I'm also heartened daily by the incredible successes of these multi-national, multi-agency, multi-interest projects.
The ESO has made the letter describing the discovery available in .pdf form in its public archives.

We have found when reviewing available expenses for an employee in the New UI, some expenses had a Payment Type as "US Bank Travel" which is one of our card programs. When we review these same transactions in the current UI we found that they were actually just Expenseit receipts. This is very confusing and almost caused us to send out notifications for unsubmitted transactions. Once the transaction was apply to a report it change to pending card transactions. This payment type needs to be corrected on the Available Expenses screen.
Allow me some time to look into this, @MGordon. Thank you so much for letting us know.
The "Expense It" tool is great if you are not using a corporate card that feeds directly into Concur.
If you are it creates all sorts of confusion for end users as the photographed receipts turn into an expense line item instead of a receipt.
Have you had time to find an answer to this question? I have noticed that ExpenseIt receipts have pulled into the Available Expenses area with the Payment Type of "Corporate Visa" in italics. (I think for our non corporate cardholders, it comes in as out of pocket). Since this is just a receipt, I would think the Payment type should be left blank. Also, how does ExpenseIt know if it is a corporate card payment or not? Is there a setting that can just leave the Payment Type blank for ExpenseIt receipts? I don't want someone thinking it is a corporate card transaction when it isn't. I have uploaded an example. Both of the group meals listed are were pulled in via ExpenseIt. Once is listed as an out of pocket and one is listed as Corporate Visa (neither have transaction detail attached to it).

Be Patient With Yourself | Graduate Spotlight
Jessica Grande
Before her journey into software development, Jaclyn French of Full-time Web Development Cohort 48 worked as a full-time music teacher, teaching all ages, guitar, voice, bass, ukulele, songwriting, and rock bands. "I had been entertaining the idea of entering the world of tech for years since I enjoy being in front of the computer, troubleshooting, and creating solutions to problems," she recalls. Jaclyn shares in her podcast that a fellow coworker told her about Nashville Software School (NSS) and encouraged her to apply, citing that "musicians make great coders."
What was your favorite capstone project and what about it made it your favorite?
"I really enjoyed my final capstone 'Spooktober.' In this project I was able to design a halloween/fall movie database that a user can search through, and save to their calendar. I also got to implement Google Authentication which made signing in a breeze! I really got to learn how to use Django to handle data, and I found it is so nice to use compared to the front-end where we just had JSON data. This project was also the first time I worked with a calendar and all I can say is that it's very difficult, but I got it to work with my teammates' help!"
What advice would you give to current or incoming NSS Web Development students?
"I would say 'you can do it!' It's not the easiest topic, it's actually very complex, but the instructors and your teammates will help you understand what is happening. I truly believe that anyone who is patient with themselves can code."
What was your favorite part of your NSS experience?
"Getting to know my instructors and classmates"
What roadblocks did you encounter along the way?
"I was working part time in the evenings and it was a stretch for me physically and emotionally. But I made it!"

In a study led by Abigail Russell, a doctoral candidate in medical studies (Child Mental Health Group) at the University of Exeter Medical School, in the United Kingdom, she and other researchers were able to link family financial difficulties to an increased risk of developing ADHD in children.
This is an interesting study because researchers rarely associate environmental factors in the home to developing ADHD. While it is true that environmental factors play a role in developing mental disorders, this new study identifies a new trigger in ADHD development.
Abigail Russell continues by saying "27.8% of the association between ADHD and financial difficulties was [instigated] by lack of parental involvement and exposure to psychosocial adversity, including domestic violence." This gives more clarity to the finding, by showing us that traumatizing events such as domestic violence and tense home settings can have negative effects on a child's brain development.
"There were, however, no significant associations between ADHD and weekly income, maternal or paternal education, or maternal or paternal employment", according to Russell and colleagues. This is comforting to know, because parents will not feel that their children will inevitably develop ADHD based on their income or financial status.
Russell continues to say that theses findings can very well help us in reducing the risk of developing ADHD in children. It's important to note that while doctors do everything they can to reduce the impact of ADHD in one's life, there is a huge role we can play in shaping a child's environment for the better.

~The shorts and t- shirts to jeans and sweaters.
The most important and the biggest change on my mind has to do with something that that my family has be going thru for almost SIX years. You see, to try to make LONG story short (and to spare you all ALOT of details), my husband got injured (his leg was crushed) at work approximately SIX years ago and has be unable to work since.
During this time he has had to have 16 surgeries , MANY hours of physical therapy and much more pain than one person should have to endure. Not to mention the bouts of depression, etc. (on both of our parts). His due to the feeling of helplessness, etc. Mine to the extra pressures of work and home.
So as hard as it was for our lives to be turned upside down and losing a certain sense of security. I am happy to announce my husband was offically released to go back to work and has been a "working man" again for TWO days. And we couldn't be happier!!
Not that working or having a job defines us as humans. We both know that is much deeper than that. But I think we are just so happy to finally have some "closure" to a "not so happy" time in our and our children's lives.
I just keep praying and trusting that God continues to look out for our family...as I know he will!!

"Gronk's On His Way Out" Believes Former NFL LB Bart Scott
Ian Logue
6 years ago at 6:30 am ET
Follow @IanLogue
Jason Bridge - USA TODAY Sports
This season it seems like if you put a microphone in front of a former NFL player when discussing the Patriots, it's almost like getting a ridiculous hot take is a guarantee.
Former Ravens and Jets linebacker Bart Scott decided to throw his name into the fray on Tuesday when he offered up the latest ridiculous theory to the mix.
After suffering a back injury while diving for a pass early in Sunday's battle against the Jets, which saw him leave the game, Rob Gronkowski's exit has been the hot topic for the last two days and Scott believes the worst is yet to come for the veteran tight end.
"Gronk's on his way out," former Ravens and Jets linebacker Bart Scott said on CBS Sports Radio. "Because of injuries, and they don't stick with you when they see you slipping. When you have a big man that starts having back problems – he's only in his seventh year, and he has two years remaining."
Scott then went on to suggest that Gronkowski's potential replacement is already in the building.
"And guess what? They already brought in his replacement and they can get him for cheaper," said Scott, referring to Martellus Bennett.

Scott believes that Gronkowski's injury history has his days numbered in New England and that Bill Belichick will eventually move on from the veteran if he begins to lose faith in his durability.
"We talk about knee injuries, back injuries, elbow brace forever," said Scott. "Listen, man, you think Bill Belichick going to stick with you? Negative. He's not in the foxhole with you."
Gronkowski has certainly had a tough run, with MassLive.com posting a full timeline of his injury history. He's missed 24 games in 7 seasons and has had a tough start to 2016. He missed two games earlier this year with a hamstring injury, followed by an injury that can't really be deemed his fault after he suffered a punctured lung against the Seahawks two weeks ago thanks to the huge hit he suffered at the hands of Kam Chancellor. In that game he battled through, missing jut a handful of plays before finishing the contest.
Sunday's injury was a surprise given that it didn't look that bad when it happened, but obviously it was enough to force him out of the game. Initial reports seemed to indicate it wasn't that bad and that he might be back in time for this weekend's match-up against the Rams, but other reports have said that the team may not rush him back.
Either way, Scott's comments are pretty premature at this point. Gronkowski proved his toughness against Seattle and while his latest back injury is unfortunate, it doesn't change the fact his services are certainly going to be important in January.
As we know, another ring will certainly change all those perceptions and for Gronkowski, it will likely make it easier to justify playing through whatever pain he's forced to deal with.

One, two, four warps us back in winning league
Two Van Amersfoort Racing drivers on the podium battling each other with champagne. The second appointment for the ADAC Formula 4 championship at the Lausitzring ended on a high for us. Felipe Drugovich from Brazil gave us the first victory of the season and himself a very special early birthday present with his maiden F4 victory.
Alongside him it was Frederik Vesti from Denmark, who did an incredible job being on the podium in only his sixth race. But there was more to cheer for: the second place for Kami Laliberte in opening race for instance, or the fourth place for Briton Louis Gachot in the final race.
We found the speed at the Lausitzring. With the fastest time of Felipe Drugovich in the last free practice with a clear margin of almost 0.1 second, we gave a strong indication of our potential. Our pole setting ambitions where double crossed by a red flag at the wrong moment during qualifying. Kami set for 5th, Felipe was 8th fastest, Fredrik P9 and Louis P16. Louis having arrived at the circuit just in time for the qualifying session, having a school exam in the morning in Spain!
In the opening race on Saturday we finished in the top 10 with all four youngsters. The fastest of them all was Kami, with a splendid second place. The Canadian earned his first podium finish of the season with a brave and brilliant move towards the first corner. Starting from P5 he dived into the inside of the corner to grab second place. Also Felipe in sixth and Frederik in seventh improved two positions over the race. Even more impressive was the giant leap forward by Louis: from 16th position he scored his first championship points of the current season in P10.
Felipe made an excellent start in the second race on Saturday. As one of the few the Brazilian managed to improve his position from fifth to second. At the podium he was cheered to by his family who came the visit the team at the Lausitzring. Also Kami (P6) and Frederik (P9) collected healthy championship points again.
After two second places it even got better. For the most of the final race an Van Amersfoort Racing trio was leading the race. Felipe confirmed his excellent shape by taking the lead after a few laps from fifth on the grid, followed by Frederik who also made up two positions. Poleman Louis was in third almost the entire race. In clean style Felipe crossed the flag after 21 laps taking his maiden victory in the ADAC Formula 4, just two days before his 17th birthday.
The performance of Frederik was impressive: second place in only his sixth race in the ADAC German F4 Championship. Also Louis made his mark and scored his personal best result ever, being fourth. Unfortunately Kami had to retire after being involved in an incident, and terminally damaging his car, on the first lap.
Jeroen de Jong, team manager of the VAR Formula 4 squad: "One victory, two second places, a fourth position and two fastest race laps. We can review on a very strong weekend at the Lausitzring. My compliments to Felipe, Frederik, Kami and Louis, and also to the engineers and mechanics. It was teamwork at his best and the drivers made most out of it. This is very encouraging for the rest of the season."

FAS Dean Gay Says She Supports Early Registration

By Angela N. Fu and Lucy Wang, Crimson Staff Writers
Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Claudine Gay voiced her support for an early registration system in an interview less than two weeks after the approval of a committee to develop a "shopping week" replacement.
An early registration system would eliminate "shopping week," the Harvard tradition popular among undergraduates that allows students to try out courses during the first week of the semester before officially enrolling in them.
Instead, under an early registration system, students would register for classes before the start of the semester. Gay said she supports early registration because the system would help achieve her ultimate goal for courses — ensuring they are "pedagogically successful" for students.
Gay noted the difficulty for professors in planning course materials such as syllabi, assignments, and testswhen they don't know how many people will enroll in their classes.
"What this syllabus, activities, assessments look like in a class with 80 students versus 150 students versus 15 are just different," Gay said. "It takes time to build a course that makes sense and it's not the sort of thing you can do on the fly."
Shopping week and the resulting uncertainty in enrollment numbers also poses an issue for professors trying to hire teaching fellows, according to Gay, who taught in the Government and African and African American Studies departments before assuming the role of FAS Dean. Gay said she usually starts working with her TFs well before each semester starts.
"There's a lot of advanced planning that's required," Gay said. "When you find yourself in a situation where you've spent either two straight months working with and training the two TFs you think you're going to need for your 80 person course and then 150 people show up and you need to find two or three other TFs that you're just pulling at random from the Law School or the Kennedy School."
Though some students praise shopping week for the opportunity to try out classes before enrolling, Gay said shopping week is not the best representation of what courses are like for students.
"The thing about shopping is that I think there's a tendency to believe that the information that you gain from attending a first class meeting during shopping week is somehow the highest quality of information that you can get about a course," Gay said. "When, in fact, the very fact of shopping profoundly changes the dynamics of the class session at that time."
At its most recent meeting in September, the Faculty Council — FAS's highest governing body — voted to approve the convening of a committee to draft a proposal for an early registration system. Dean of Undergraduate Education Amanda Claybaugh discussed the efforts to assess shopping week at an Undergraduate Council meeting Monday, encouraging undergraduates to weigh in on the issue.
Gay said she hopes the committee will act quickly and present a proposal to the Council by the end of the academic year.
"We've had so many conversations about early registration," Gay said. "At some point, we just need to say yes or no and move on."

La litoptila (Lithoptila abdounensis) è un uccello fossile, appartenente ai fetontiformi. Visse nel Paleocene superiore (circa 58 - 55 milioni di anni fa) e i suoi resti fossili sono stati ritrovati in Marocco.

Descrizione
Questo animale è noto solo per un neurocranio ben conservato, ed è quindi impossibile ricostruirne in dettaglio l'aspetto. Dal raffronto con animali simili ma meglio conosciuti (Prophaethon), si suppone che Lithoptila fosse molto simile agli attuali fetonti (gen. Phaethon), uccelli marini dal capo grosso e dal collo corto, strettamente imparentati con i procellariformi. Oltre alle proporzioni generali del neurocranio, Lithoptila differiva da Prophaeton nella forma e nella posizione della crista temporalis, della impressio glandulae nasalis, della superficie di contatto con l'osso lacrimale e del tuberculum basilare.

Classificazione
Lithoptila abdounensis venne descritto per la prima volta nel 2005, sulla base di un fossile ritrovato nella zona di Ouled Abdoun in Marocco, in terreni del Paleocene superiore. Lithoptila e l'affine Prophaethon sono membri dei profetontidi (Prophaethontidae), una famiglia di uccelli marini affini agli attuali fetontidi ma privi di alcune specializzazioni riscontrabili nelle forme attuali.

Waldhof Mannheim hosts Eintracht Frankfurt
Waldhof Mannheim hosts Eintracht Frankfurt in a match from the first round of the DFB Pokal. This game is going to be played at the Carl-Benz-Stadion in the city of Mannheim. Let's take a look in our vip soccer bets.
Waldhof Mannheim are currently playing in the third tier of German football – the 3. Liga. They are currently 9th in the league after four rounds played, having 6 points won and a record of one win and three draws. They are still unbeaten since the beginning of the season.
In their last game Waldhof Mannheim achieved their first win in the 3. Liga for the season. Bernhard Trares' team faced 1860 Munchen at home and achieved a spectacular 4-0 win. Gianluca Korte scored a brace for the home side, while Michael Schultz and Dorian Diring also scored for Waldhof Mannheim. It was a pretty good win.
Eintracht Frankfurt enter this game as a very strong favourite. They already showed their strenght in Europa League since the beginning of the season, achieving three wins from three games played in the competition.
In their last Europa League game, just few days ago, Eintracht faced Liechtenstein's Vaduz and achieved a crushing 5-0 win away from home. The Serbian midfielder Filip Kostic scored a brace for the German side, while Dominik Kohr, Goncalo Paciencia and Mijat Gacinovic also scored for the visitors.
Eintracht Frankfurt are among the favourites of reaching the DFB Pokal final this season. They won the competition in 2018. This summer Eintracht lost some of their stars as Luka Jovic and Sebastien Haller left the club. It remains to be seen how they will react to the departure of these two very influental players.
These are our vip soccer bets for the DFB Pokal clash from the first round between Waldhof Mannheim and Eintracht Frankfurt.

Hi, everyone, I'm back to share what I did this morning here on the farm. I spent the entire morning doing some small batch fiber dyeing. We are having quite the event here on the farm this weekend. I mentioned it in the previous post but it's worth mentioning again. Suzy Brown, aka Wool Wench, is coming to the farm to do a workshop on blending fiber, art yarn spinning and plying. Suzy is from the Netherlands and is teaching a few workshops on the East Coast. We were to have some fibers dyed and ready to go. So this morning I got out my Goodwill purchased slow cookers and did some small batch dyeing to add to a color scheme that is in my mind. How I do my small batch dyeing is what I thought I would share with you today.
1. Slow cookers that will be used for dyeing only. I found all of mine at Goodwill for only a few dollars each.
2. I use Country Classic dyes. They are a one-step dye power. They can be purchased online.
Step 1. Wet the fiber in a sink with hot water for 20 minutes. This is to allow the dye to be absorbed with ease.
Step 3. Add your dye according the instructions on the jar.
Step 4. Take out your fiber and add it to the slow cookers, making sure it is all covered. You can press it down ever so gently with a wooden spoon. I say gently so the fiber won't felt.
Step 5. Cover your pots. In 15 minutes, turn the temp to low and set the timer for 30 minutes. DO NOT uncover.
Step 6. When your time is up, take one pot at a time and dump it into the sink. Be careful, it will be hot. Then fill the sink up with hot water for a rinse. After about 10 minutes, drain the sink and repeat until sink water is fairly clear. Try not to change the temp of the water by much in between the rinsing, again so as not to felt the fiber. When the water is fairly clear or completely clear, pick up the fiber and gently give it a light squeeze to drain some of the water from the fiber. Transfer it to a screen to dry. A screen will allow air flow from the top and bottom, drying the fiber quicker. If you do not have one, you can lay out on a towel in the sun.
Repeat Step 6 with each slow cooker of fiber.
I use this technique for all my small batch dyeing. I find it really simple and always successful.
Today the fiber I dyed was Pygora goat locks, a small handful of Wensleydale sheep locks and silk hankies that will be used while learning our new plying technique. It should be an adventurous day. I'll blog all about it next week! This fiber will be blended with an already dyed sheep wool that I had and wanted to work around the color scheme.
See you soon with more adventures from Pam's Fiber at Dream Come True Farm.

UK to end support for oil and gas projects overseas to tackle climate change
in International, World
The UK government will end direct support for the fossil fuels energy sector overseas as it works to support the sector's transition to low-carbon energy in a push to curb the effects of climate change. However, the decision has faced criticism from the African oil and gas sector.
The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced this decision as he opened the Climate Ambition Summit on Saturday, 12 December 2020 co-hosted by the United Nations, the UK, and France.
Apple, Amazon suspend Parler social network from App Store and web hosting service
The summit brought together 75 world leaders as well as businesses and civil society to make strong new commitments to tackle climate change ahead of COP26.
The summit was open to leaders ready to showcase ambitious new commitments, including Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, strategies to reach Net Zero, climate finance pledges and innovative plans to adapt and build resilience to climate change.
The policy will see the UK end export finance, aid funding and trade promotion for new crude oil, natural gas or thermal coal projects, with very limited exceptions.
The decision is a significant change when compared to the last four years when the government supported £21 billion ($27.6B) of UK oil and gas exports through trade promotion and export finance.
The government said that the policy will be implemented after a short period of consultation and is intended to come into force as soon as possible and before COP26 next November in Glasgow.
The announcement will expedite the shift to supporting green technology and renewable energy, creating jobs across the UK and driving international growth in the industry.
The government also said it will work with the UK's oil and gas sector to support the move to low carbon energy sources through the North Sea Transition Deal, ensuring areas like Teesside and Aberdeen can become global hubs for wind energy, carbon capture and other clean technologies of the future.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said ahead of the Summit: "Climate change is one of the great global challenges of our age, and it is already costing lives and livelihoods the world over. Our actions as leaders must be driven not by timidity or caution, but by ambition on a truly grand scale.
"That is why the UK recently led the way with a bold new commitment to reduce emissions by at least 68 per cent by 2030, and why I'm pleased to say today that the UK will end taxpayer support for fossil fuel projects overseas as soon as possible".
Earlier this month, the Prime Minister announced a new NDC, committing the UK to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 68 per cent by the end of the decade compared to 1990 levels.
The ambitious target is supported by the Ten Point Plan for a green industrial revolution, which will create and support up to 250,000 British jobs by 2030 and make significant strides in cutting emissions across energy, transport and buildings.

Gallo-romans
Gallo-romans sentence example
The antrustion was always of Frankish descent, and only in certain exceptional cases were Gallo-Romans admitted into the king's bodyguard.
These Gallo-Romans then took the name of convivae regis, and the wergeld of 300 solidi was three times that of a homo romanus.
It was they, apparently, who formed the army which conquered the land, an army composed chiefly of Franks, and of a few Gallo-Romans who had taken the side of Clovis.
For each of their expeditions, the kings raised an army of citizens in which the Gallo-Romans mingled more and more with the Franks; they only kept one small permanent body which acted as their bodyguard (trustis dominica), some members of which were from time to time told off for other tasks, such as that of forming garrisons in the frontier towns..
In this he showed that the status of the homo Rornanus of the barbarian laws was inferior to that of the German freeman; that the Gallo-Romans had been subjected by the Germans to a state of servitude; and, consequently, that the Germans had conquered the Gallo-Romans.
From this time forward a great historic transformation was effected in the eyes of the bishops and of the Gallo-Romans; the Frankish chief took the Clovisar place of the ancient emperors.
The Frankish king Clovis I (465-511) founded the Merovingian kingdom of Gaul, the most successful of the barbarian states of the 5th century. He is widely regarded as the originator of the French nation.
Robert Gallo (born 1937) is one of the most influential, yet controversial, researchers of the twentieth century. Working at the National Institutes of Health, Gallo was one of the first scientists to discover a human retrovirus, which proved to be an important breakthrough in the fight against cancer. He was also a co-discoverer of the AIDS virus and developed the test used to screen blood for AIDS.

2018 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL CLOSES WITH ANNOUNCEMENT OF WINNERS & CONFRONTATION OF #METOO
CULTURE, FILM + TV, NEWS

The 71st annual Cannes Film Festival came to a close on May 19th. The concluding ceremony took place at Grand Théâtre Lumière where the Master of Ceremonies, Edouard Baer, welcomed the Feature Film Jury (presided over by Cate Blanchett) for the announcement of this year's winners. Following the presentation of the prestigious Palme d'Or to director Hirokazu Kore-eda for his film "Shoplifters," Italian director Asia Argento took the stage and delivered a sobering speech disclosing that she was raped by Harvey Weinstein. "In 1997, I was raped by Harvey Weinstein here at Cannes. I was 21 years old," she said. "I want to make a prediction. Harvey Weinstein will never be welcomed here ever again. He will live in disgrace shunned by a film community that once embraced him and covered up for his crimes."

Argento went on to issue a warning to unnamed predators who remain in the film industry: "Even tonight sitting among you, there are those who still have to be held accountable for their conduct against women. For behavior that does not belong in this industry ― does not belong in any industry or workplace. You know who you are. But most importantly, we know who you are, and we're not going to allow you to get away with it any longer," she said. She later tweeted a transcript of the speech she delivered, commending the women who have recently spoken out against perpetrators of sexual misconduct.
Argento's impassioned speech was not the only confrontation of the #MeToo movement at this year's festival. Last week, Cate Blanchett led a demonstration with a group of other female filmmakers and actresses for equal gender representation at Cannes, and festival director Thierry Frémaux signed a charter for gender parity proposed by 5050×2020, France's version of the #MeToo initiative.

'Pouring rain' - Slaven Bilic is right to be buzzing about West Brom's back up option
Joseph Chapman outlines why having Gareth Barry back in the fold will benefit Albion in the long run - the midfielder is training with Albion again and is edging closer to a return
Joseph Chapman
Get the Albion transfer latest, team news, match updates and analysis delivered straight to your inbox
It was a particularly wet and windy morning back in September when Slaven Bilic revealed, with a smile, that Gareth Barry was back training with the rest of the West Brom squad.
As I walked back to my car following that press conference, the press conference that would preview their victory at Queens Park Rangers, I couldn't help but admire Barry's appetite for the game.
At 38 - indeed to be 39 before this season is out - and with a Premier League winner's medal among his various accolades and memoirs of a decorated career, Barry could quite easily have knocked the whole thing on the head in the summer.

Sure, it wasn't ideal; Albion had failed to achieve their goal of promotion, and Barry would've retired at the end of his contract having undergone surgery on his knee - something that he knew would put him out of action for months.
Yet here he was, joining Chris Brunt, Kieran Gibbs, Charlie Austin and the rest of the Albion squad in miserable conditions that signalled the end of those warm, summer months that book-end the domestic football calendar.
Barry could have his feet up with a cup of tea, enjoying retirement and what entailed, staring out of the window in the comfort of his home as the rain poured and the wind howled.
In truth, though, Barry would rather be out there, surrounded by teammates to motivate and enjoy banter with - even if some of them were in nappies when he first started kicking a ball for a living.
Therein lies the example that Barry can set. Discipline, on the field and away from it, and a determination to eke every last drop out of a career that players often bemoan is too short.
"To have that motivation and hunger at this stage of his career is unbelievable and it's a gift for a young player," Bilic said.
"His touch and quality was never a question. You need five minutes to smile when you see it."
Bilic was visibly excited when talking about Barry and his qualities. That isn't to say, of course, that Barry - once he proves his fitness - walks into the side and will play 35 league games between now and May.
It'll be interesting to see how Bilic works it. Clearly he wished to take a look at Barry, having managed against him for club and country (Barry played the night Steve McClaren adopted the unfortunate umbrella-themed nickname).

Brunt and Rekeem Harper struggle to make the match-day squad as it is, though, but with the highly anticipated winter schedule (and the inevitable injuries and suspensions) to come, strength in depth is a required trait for any promotion candidate.
There is no time-scale, though. We might see Barry in November, it might be January. Provided he can prove he is worth a place in the match-day squad, the veteran will be permitted the time needed to ensure the final throes of his recovery are carefully managed.
The whole episode for Barry, who has been lucky to enjoy a career of longevity without too many interruptions, has admittedly tested him.
Where will West Bromwich Albion finish in the 2019-20 season?
25000+ VOTES SO FAR
Play-offs - promoted
Play-offs - not promoted
"Being in training this last week to ten days, it makes you question whether you still really want it. I feel I've made the right decision," he said recently.
"I wanted to keep playing, I didn't want to finish my career with an injury. I think there's still a little bit left in the tank."
One thing is for sure, having Barry about the place certainly won't hurt Albion's chances in whatever they hope to achieve.
Gareth Barry


The adhesion force between polycrystalline silicon surfaces in MEMS structures is studied using three different test structures. Electrostatic and thermal actuations are used to bring the two surfaces into contact and mechanical force stored in the structures is used to separate them. In particular, the devices consist of (i) double-clamped beam that is actuated electrostatically and measured optically, (ii) suspended plate that is actuated electrostatically and measured capacitively, and (iii) thermally actuated and optically measured beams. The devices are fabricated using PolyMUMPs® process. The results show that the adhesion force in tested structures has little or no dependence on the apparent contact surface and is highly affected by the test environment and the actuation methods. The test results at high temperatures (100-130 °C) show that in absence of capillary and electrostatic forces, the adhesion force drastically decreases and mainly depends on the number of contacting asperities.

Alum explores joy of musical freedom in German grad program
Nathan Bontrager, a 2007 EMU music major, is completing his second master's degree in music, this time in early music at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany. (Photo courtesy of Nathan Bontrager)
As an undergrad at Eastern Mennonite University (EMU), Nathan Bontrager loved to experiment with music, a characteristic that has taken him through a master's degree in modern cello in Maryland and into a second master's program in early music in Germany.
"I am trying to be a musician playing the music I care about," said Bontrager in an interview with an EMU reporter.
For him that passion is tri-faceted, where he plays: (1) early music, encompassing the medieval and Renaissance time periods; (2) "experimental" or "free improvisational" music; and (3) traditional music, which he explains as global music from oral traditions.
As a 2007 music major, Bontrager said he was not pigeonholed into a genre or required to only play a particular repertoire. In 2008, while enrolled in a master's program in modern cello at the University of Maryland, Bontrager composed a piece for choir and instrumental ensemble as a tribute to an EMU classmate, Matthew Garber, who had died while on a mission trip in Costa Rica.
"I started to play a lot more contemporary music [at Maryland] – new music – modern classical stuff," he said. "I also started to play the viola da gamba – that is how I started to get interested in playing early music."
Like the cello, the viola da gamba is a bowed and stringed instrument, but it differs from a cello in that it has six rather than four strings and c-shaped holes rather than the typical f-shaped hole found on instruments in the violin family. The viola da gamba – also known as a viol – was most popular during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.
When Bontrager finished his master's he moved to New Haven, Conn., where he "started to figure out what I wanted to do musically."
There he ran across a group of people who were playing experimental music. "It is basically completely freely improvised or music that is using improvised elements combined with notated music," he explained. "There are various kinds of improvised music and all of them have a language of their own."
He began to play experimental music concerts in Connecticut with a trio called Broadcloth. One of the things he likes about experimental music is that it has no boundaries.
There are certainly regional and national styles that influence how a group of musicians play together, but "what makes it good or bad is totally up to the listener," he said. "People are listening and reacting and creating something together. It's about the music developing in an organic way."
Hungry to spend time in another country and explore the European experimental scene, Bontrager found a master's program in early music at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany. He was also drawn to studying early music in one of the European countries that produced so many well-known composers.
"People who are interested in these new sounds are often the same people who are interested in Renaissance music," Bontrager explained. "That may be because there are less stringent rules musically – that general idea of freedom in music is something that bridges those two worlds."
He will be finishing his second master's degree in the spring of 2014 but won't necessarily return to the United States just yet. Next will be "a grand experiment to see if I can make a career out of what I like to do."
On his website (nathanbontrager.com), Bontrager speaks of the pleasure of fostering love of music, as he did when he was music director at an Episcopal church near New Haven: "Working with the choir was fantastic, but the most compelling moments involved getting a mass of people who firmly believed they couldn't participate in music to open their mouths and sing together, a cappella. . . .
"[M]usic makes things happen in the doing, listening, and creating that has powerful and necessary social implications for our larger lives."
