FBI Director Chris Wray said President Trump has not "specifically directed" the intelligence community's efforts to counter future Russian meddling.
During a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on global threats facing the United States, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said he expects Russia will try to disrupt the upcoming midterm elections. FBI Director Chris Wray said President Trump has not "specifically directed" the intelligence community's efforts to counter future Russian meddling. Wray also told lawmakers that the bureau provided the White House with information about former staff secretary Rob Porter twice last year, contradicting White House testimony that the process of looking into Porter's background "hadn't been completed." Porter resigned last week amid allegations of verbal and physical abuse by two ex-wives. Israeli police recommended that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu be indicted on charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust.
'We See a World That's Getting Better': In an interview with The Atlantic's Jeffrey Goldberg, Bill Gates discusses his optimism for the future and his concern over the Trump administration's "America First" doctrine.
On Monday, the Senate opened up debate on immigration. Among other things, lawmakers are trying to reach an agreement on so-called "Dreamers," undocumented immigrants who were brought to the U.S. as children. The White House recently released an immigration framework that included a path to citizenship for 1.8 million young undocumented immigrants in exchange for more border security, ending the diversity lottery program, and limiting family-based migration. Trump called it a compromise, but the deal was rejected by Democrats and some Republicans who oppose cuts to legal immigration.
This week, we want to know: What does a compromise on immigration look like to you?

Sagar Hospitals, Banashankari had organised unique contests for women to commemorate the International women's day. To begin with, it may be a cakewalk for many to cook in their kitchens, but the women were asked to cook on Thursday without fire! As a result, the cookery enthusiasts went all out to serve a big spread of dishes at the 'Cook without fire' contest. The decision to feature fire-less cooking was made in order to encourage women participants think out of the box.
The other innovative contests included hair styling where women participants were asked to come out with innovative hair styles in a short span of time. At end of the programme, the participants demonstrated as to how the time was not a limiting factor as they came out with wonderful hair styles. This was followed by one more cookery talent hunt where women were given atta and asked to make as many chapatis as possible in 10 minutes. For this competition, the time literally counted as women vied with each other to make the maximum number of chapatis. At end of the programme, it was a photo finish.
Another unique contest lined up was a self assessing programme for the participants as to how much they know about the families. The participants were in shock as they realised that whatever they know about the families was still very much less.
The participants were encouraged by the chief guest-Squadron leader Jasmini Chandran. Ms Chandran, an air traffic controller is the first and only lady officer to reach the highest professional excellence in the air traffic controlling system. She has been conferred the Chief of Air Staff Commendation for exemplary service in Air Force. Speaking on the occasion, Ms Chandran said that she was very happy to be part of the Sagar Hospital event as it the women's day programmes were a mix of fun and educative programmes which helped women to think out of the box.


The Chapter Excellence Program (CEP) is the single best way to build a successful SkillsUSA chapter! To learn more, check out the information below.
CEP recognizes achievement as it relates to the integration of the SkillsUSA Framework in chapter program of work activities. As a chapter's yearly action plan, the program of work is at the heart of student learning and employability development. By using the Framework as a guide, chapters have a blueprint for creating relevant activities that encourage participation and foster an understanding of student learning attained during each activity. The Framework's focus on intentional learning turns the program of work into more than just a planning tool. Using the Framework, the program of work becomes the vital conduit that links students to the application of personal, workplace and technical skills demanded by industry. The SkillsUSA trifecta for student success!
Within the personal, workplace and technical skills areas, there are specific Essential Elements tied to each. The Essential Elements are high-demand employability skills as defined by industry, and the benchmark for measuring student success during an activity. If students learn the Essential Element of responsibility during a personal component activity, the Framework requires that a chapter be specific regarding the how and why students learned responsibility. This conscientious approach gives added meaning to the valuable experience gained by students in the planning, organization and implementation of activities. Most importantly, this approach actualizes SkillsUSA's mission to "empower members to become world-class workers, leaders and responsible American citizens" on the chapter level.
Why get involved in the CEP?

Q: AJAX Form not validating I'm very new to AJAX and PHP, so I probably missed something silly. I have been following a tutorial for AJAX Form validation and I have the same code as the guy, but it's not working for me. I checked 10 times for spelling mistakes. The point of the code is to validate the data written in the input field and redirect the user to another page if given the correct value.
The index.html:

const form = {
  name: document.getElementById("name"),
  submit: document.getElementById("submit")
}

form.submit.addEventListener('click', function() {
  const request = new XMLHttpRequest();

  request.onload = () => {
    let responseObj = null;

    try {
      responseObj = JSON.parse(request.responseText);
    } catch (e) {
      console.error('Could not parse JSON!');
    }

    if (responseObj) {
      handleResponse(responseObj);
    }
  };

  const requestData = `name=${form.name.value}`;
  console.log(requestData);
  request.open('post', 'check-login.php');
  request.setRequestHeader('Content-type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
  request.send(requestData);

Siasat.com/News/Sports/Kohli is maintaining his swag since '90s
Kohli is maintaining his swag since '90s
Sameer| Published: 18th June 2019 7:46 am IST
New Delhi [India]: Riding high on India's thunderous victory over arch-rival Pakistan, skipper Virat Kohli had some fun on Twitter as he shared a picture from his childhood on Monday.
Seeing the post, it is safe to say that the ace batsman has always loved shutterbugs.
He posted a collage of two photos, one from his childhood and another from India's match against Pakistan on Sunday. One thing is common in both – his pose. With both hands rested on his waist, Kohli is looking up at the sky as the camera captures him. "Doing it since the early 90s," read his caption.
Doing it since the early 90s! 🤓 pic.twitter.com/IVitRHUWpW
— Virat Kohli (@imVkohli) June 17, 2019
Kohli has been in sensational form in the ongoing ICC Men's Cricket World Cup and has scored 205 runs in the tournament so far.
On Sunday, he became the fastest batsman to reach the 11,000 run-mark in ODI cricket. He achieved the feat in 230 ODIs.
With a scintillating performance by the Men in Blue, the hyped clash was reduced to a one-sided game with India registering a thumping win by 89 runs.
Batting first, India posted 336 runs on the board, owing to Rohit Sharma's 24th ODI ton.
Virat Kohli and KL Rahul registered fifty-plus scores and India had no problem in defending the total the bowlers also put up an impressive show.
During the Pakistan innings, rain played spoilsport in the 35th over and the match had to be halted. The match resumed after almost 50 minutes, and was curtailed to 40-overs with the target being adjusted to 302 on the basis of Duckworth-Lewis method.
India now has a 7-0 record against Pakistan in the 50-over World Cup.
Out of their four matches in the ongoing tournament, India has won three and have a total of seven points. They have defeated South Africa, Australia, and Pakistan while their match against New Zealand was abandoned due to rain.
India will next face Afghanistan on Saturday, June 22.

It is once again my happy duty to help shepherd Fedora content to a better licensing position (as I did three years ago.) We previously moved Fedora documentation from the GNU FDL to the OPL, moving the wiki content to the OPL at the same time. This current relicensing is very important for the Fedora Project overall, and is worth the risks involved. Hopefully, this article provides sufficient justification and risk assessment.
There are a small number of email threads you can catch up on, all of which are findable through this canonical thread on fedora-advisory-board. I am writing this blog post as a canonical location for my arguments and reasoning, then I can refer to it endlessly. (You know, canonically.) It may form the basis for a wiki page that represents a more formal Fedora stance, but for now, these are just my opinions, YMMV, IANAL, TINLA.
Why? Because it is vital that Fedora get off a content island and join the rest of the world. Because the problem of gaining permission from every person who ever edited the Fedora wiki is a huge task, and it's not necessary. This is why the current CLA has this clause, which should be understood by everyone who agreed to the CLA, but I expect people have different levels of understanding about how the Fedora CLA works.
I've been referring to this clause as the nuclear option, an expression that means, "The one option you keep available in case you ever need it while praying that you never ever ever need it." A bit dramatic, yes, but I think it reflects the feelings people have around the issue. Folks just plain don't like it when you go and relicense their work. At least we should explain why.
Why is it a really great idea to relicense Fedora content to the Creative Commons (CC) Attribution-Share Alike (BY SA) 3.0 unported license?
We are relicensing from the OPL (Open Publications License) 1.0. The author and once-and-only-ever maintainer of the OPL wrote two years ago why people should stop using his license in favor of the CC licenses. Please read that, it is well reasoned and makes compelling arguments, even more so because it is from the OPL's author. He wrote that two years ago, but quotes himself from 2003 when he recommended using a Creative Commons license instead. 'Nuff said.
Fedora's legal advisors, specifically Richard Fontana, highly recommend a switch from the OPL to the CC BY SA.
We are on an island nearly alone with the OPL. One of our main fellow inhabitants is Red Hat, who relicensed their content under the OPL without options so it could be used by the Fedora Project (and developed here, in advance of the next version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.) Since Red Hat is willing to change, we can move from a tiny archipelago to the largest continent of open content under the flag of the CC BY SA.
Ironically, one reason Fedora switched from the GNU FDL to the OPL was the idea of being downstream of content from Red Hat's professional writing team.
Other organizations that have content we can reuse in Fedora and contribute back to, such as Wikipedia and GNOME, have switched or are switching to the CC BY SA. Why does this matter? For one easy example, we can write a definitive history of Fedora, host it on Wikipedia as the upstream, then package it as part of the 'about-fedora' package.
If you've never looked at how much open content there is on e.g. flickr.com and Wikicommons, please look. For content authors, this is going from practically zero useful open media available to tens of millions of photographs, diagrams, and so forth that we can not only freely reuse, but we can contribute back to.
The formal content work of the Fedora Docs Team flows back and forth with the wiki. It wouldn't be possible to relicense just the DocBook-based guides, such as the Release Notes, Installation Guide, or Security Guide. These all have content that may or did come from the wiki. There is an interdependency that cannot be easily unwound, nor is there a reason to, as long as both the wiki and the guides are using compatible licensing.
Comments closed — Trackbacks closed RSS 2.0 feed for these comments This entry (permalink) was posted on Monday, July 6, 2009, at 8:02 pm by quaid. Filed in Documentation, Fedora, Free Culture, Wiki.
Agreed that this change is probably overdue. I think Fedora and Red Hat have been chasing each other's licensing tails in an ineffective manner for some time, without looking at the broader community perspective. And perhaps to some extent that broader perspective — or at least consensus — on content didn't really exist to the extent it does in 2009. It certainly didn't in 2003 or 2005.
I like your analogy of moving off the archipelago and onto the great continent. We make such a point of doing so in our code work that it only makes sense to carry the same principles into our other content areas. Note that the Design team has done this for quite some time — and interestingly, if we *didn't* change, it would be well-nigh impossible, or at least very daunting, to use CC BY-SA art in our publications!
One small niggle: I think casting the relicensing ("sublicensing" is a really weird term, honestly) clause as a nuclear option may be a bit inflammatory. But the point remains that we've all agreed to the CLA with the understanding that we want our contributions to Fedora to remain free, now and always. Moving to a CC license adheres directly to that intention; it also clears the way for us to be *freer*, and share more readily with others, which is also a stated goal of Fedora — not just to build great things, but to ensure they are not sequestered from others who can make use of them.
Bravo on a good blog post, and I fully support this move.
Glad to see this happening. The move to OPL was always a weird one to me but as Paul says, there really wasn't a consensus at the time we made the last licensing move. I think today, though, the picture is different and CC really is _the_ way to go for content licensing and I'm really happy that this has been pushed through.
And although it is impractical to get everyone's agreement (hence why the clause of the CLA is even there), maybe there's a way to get a quick consensus just to show that the body of contributors as a whole is mostly in agreement? Maybe throw together a quick "election" and then when we flip the switch, we can also say that a body of our contributors also approved, even though we didn't have to get that approval? Or maybe that's just making things worse. Dunno.
We have definitely built consensus, amongst the wiki team, the Docs Team, and anyone who reads fedora-advisory-board.
My concern about going in the direction of "get permission from everyone" is that we either have to do the whole thing to be successful. For example, should I email every single Fedora list to make sure everyone hears about the change? If I start with just a few lists, aren't the others left out?
This is a case where consensus rules actually work better. We make lots of noise that this is in the works, we give people venues to discuss it, we tweak plans in whatever way is necessary to keep consensus, and we go ahead on schedule.
Maybe I'm wrong. I know Wikipedia threw together a vote of some kind. It is certainly feasible to setup a two-week vote for anyone with a signed CLA.
But what happens if the majority says "NO"?
This is a case where, for the present and future good of the project, we need to do what is right. This is where the meritocracy comes in. The people who think and understand these issues pretty thoroughly are also in the position to advise and decide. And we all did.
we could organize a poll (the question could be something like: "Would you agree to re-license Fedora content?") with anyone having signed the CLA. Hence, if the majority answers "No" (which I hardly believe), you can still pass through with the "nuclear weapon".
Karsten Wade gibt bekannt, dass das Fedora Project plant, sich von der mittlerweile veralteten OPL zu verabschieden und die Inhalte stattdessen unter eine CC-BY-SA 3.0-Lizenz zu stellen.

We love your feedback and look forward to hearing from you. A great place to post your ideas and vote up others. Please share your stories to help us build a product that best fits your needs.
You can provide any ideas/suggestions related to Operations & Administration capabilities of BizTalk360 in this forum.
We all know that statistics and diagrams is the major thing in all powerpoints so I want to add some extra into it.
Quick filter for searching in applications.
When you have many applications in your BizTalk environment you are forced to scroll down to the bottom of the page and use pagination in order to view next applications. I think it would be a great idea to have a textbox at the beginning of the page where you can type in parts of your application name or description to filter your list.
In my case I currently have 5 pages to scroll thru, not very user friendly.
Would like the option to select several host instances and have the option to only have one active.
The certificate used for https or AS2 has a validity date, after this date they are no more valid and the process stops. Would be nice if you could implemant a new feature the send an alarm when this date is getting closer.
- Schedule the running of scans.
- Store the history of scan reports (within specified purge settings).
- Store which "best practices" you want to ignore (with a justification specified).
- Alert if any "best practices" fail following a scheduled scan (that you don't want to ignore).
Ability to create email distributions lists that are saved and can be reused for future alerts. This will prevent from having to type an Email over and over again. Allows for reuse.
The V 8.5 has FTP monitoring but it does not work with FTPs configured with SSO affiliates.
Our analyst and support team want to view the actual AS2 message contents sent and the MDN message contents received from Trading Partners.
If possible, please also enable the feature to "view message decoded/encoded format" which is an available option in the same property dropdown list as "View Mdn Message" if NRR is enabled in AS2 agreement with the party.
I have two features that I´d like i n BizTalk360.
- Be able to save multiple tracked messagebodies to file from DTA.
The customer archives and purges the tracking database daily.
At this moment, this means they have to use the BizTalk Administration Console to load these archived databases to view the older tracking.
It would be a great feature, if they were able to load these archived in BizTalk360.
Automation of disabling or stopping send ports and receive locations for scheduled outages, certain days of the week and hours.
I would like to get below options in the message box queries in upcoming BizTalk 360 version.
1. Adding or customizable grid with the column name Processing Server(Message Box server) where we have 4 BizTalk servers and users are intrested to know on which server particular instance/message is being processing so that users can take action according to that and it helps during the applicatin troubleshoot.
2. Adding subscription in the select query. where it helps users to get their subscription details expression. Currently its available in admin console we suggest to add it in BizTalk 360 so that users can check the subscription details after the application deployed.
The first feature request has come as part of the version 8.9 release. Sing up to our newsletter to be notified of upcoming releases.
We are encountering some memory issue in general usage of BizTalk 2013 on the server.
however in order to determine which of the application or host instances is causing the issue, I would like to have a analytic graph showing the memory usage per Host Instance or for all available host instance.
Currently you will see only the memory usages per CPU (graph 'BizTalk Host Performance')with a maximum of 5 hosts.
With a proper description on each application it is very easy to see what each application does.
Please add the option to save entire list of application to excel rather than the paginated list.


A season-high 41 points on 17-for-24 shooting for the five-time All-Star, who terrorized the Grizzlies en route to a comfortable 104-95 win. Memphis sits at 0-1 in the post-David Fizdale era, which began Monday after the Grizzlies decided that "the trends" — certainly not Marc Gasol sounding off about being benched for the fourth quarter on Sunday; no, it was "the trends!" — of Fizdale's tenure had become concerning enough to end it after 101 regular-season games.
The Grizz have lost nine straight. Mike Conley's still going to be out for two or three weeks. Wayne Selden Jr.'s in the same quad tendinopathy Twilight Zone as Kawhi Leonard. Chandler Parsons and Brandan Wright are both expected to miss a few more games, too. Memphis' streak of seven straight playoff appearances is in serious jeopardy.
Given that, and given what looks like a frightening future facing a Grizzlies team that went all in with maximum-salaried contracts in three straight seasons and that has struggled mightily to draft and develop impact talent, many observers — including our own Chris Mannix — have suggested that the time might be right for the Grizzlies to move franchise centerpiece Gasol. If the 7-foot All-Star and former Defensive Player of the Year could return draft assets, young talent or a combination of the two that could give Memphis a boost in the process of hitting the reset button, Grizzlies general manager Chris Wallace would have to at least consider it, right?
"We have no intention to trade Marc," Wallace told ESPN when asked if the franchise might consider dealing the 32-year-old big man. "We never seriously considered that at all. We never placed any calls to any teams in that regard. So that's not happening.
"We're full speed ahead," Wallace said. "We've been in the playoffs seven years in a row. We've got a team when fully healthy and we get everything together is more athletic, more versatile and more potent offensively than we've had for a number of years. Even though the going has been a little difficult early, there's still 62 [games] to play. We believe in this team. We're hoping — got our fingers crossed — that we'll get everybody healthy soon.
It's not surprising that Wallace is doubling down on the belief that the Grizzlies can save this season; that's one of the main reasons he gave for firing Fizdale and elevating associate head coach J.B. Bickerstaff to the head of the bench as Memphis' new interim head coach. You can understand why he's got hope. The West hasn't been as fearsome as we'd expected from top to bottom, and pretty much everybody outside the conference's top five is dealing with some kind of significant issue, from major injuries (Paul Millsap in Denver, Rudy Gobert in Utah, Blake Griffin and Patrick Beverley in Los Angeles) to slow integration of new talent (hello, Oklahoma City) to a lack of wing talent (hey there, New Orleans) to being young and maybe not all that good (what's up, Lakers and Suns). Even after losing nine straight to sit at 7-13, the Grizzlies are only 2 1/2 games out of the West's No. 8 spot. Stranger things have happened, right?
But then, there's the glass-half-empty take. The Grizzlies are also just three games clear of the conference's basement, with a rematch with the Spurs on deck and meetings with the raging Cleveland Cavaliers, Minnesota Timberwolves, New York Knicks and Toronto Raptors after that. It remains exceedingly possible that Memphis could be 10 games under .500 by Christmas.
Sure, the Grizzlies might wind up being pretty good again when — realistically, if — they get back fully healthy versions of Conley, Selden, Parsons and Wright to pair with a Gasol that's sloughed off his cold shooting, a Tyreke Evans that continues to shoot at above-league-average levels while scoring efficiently at the rim, back-in-form post-injury editions of JaMychal Green and Mario Chalmers, and a wing rotation (rookie Dillon Brooks, James Ennis, Ben McLemore) that can get revved up and looking like quality NBA players at the same time. That's the thing, though: how likely is it that all that winds up going the Grizzlies' way, and it all does before they've fallen wildly behind the pace?
And if it doesn't — if Memphis continues to sink toward the West's cellar, even if they've got something close to their full complement of dudes, wouldn't it behoove Wallace and the Grizzlies to think about the longer term and look to recoup whatever value they might be able to for Gasol, who's about to turn 33 and has one more guaranteed year after this one on the five-year maximum-salaried contract he signed in 2015? Moving Conley would be tougher, given the additional year and higher price tag on his post-salary-cap-spike max, and the fact that he's missed significant time in each of the past three years, but the same logic would seem to apply.
Especially considering that this is the final year in which the NBA draft lottery will operate as it has, with the team with the league's worst record getting a 25 percent shot at landing the No. 1 overall pick. Lottery reform begins in 2019 — a year in which the Grizzlies might not even have a first-round pick, after trading a top-eight protected choice to the Boston Celtics for Jeff Green back in 2015. With a ton of enticing young talent at the top of this year's draft, maybe it'd make sense for the Grizzlies to bottom out now in pursuit of what could be their next linchpin talent … even if it means looking to bid farewell to the guys who have occupied those spots throughout the most successful run in franchise history.
That said, Wallace saying he's made no calls to try to move Gasol doesn't mean he hasn't fielded any from interested suitors. (One league executive told Sean Deveney of the Sporting News earlier this week that the Grizzlies "have had plenty of offers for Gasol.") It also doesn't mean that he wouldn't move Gasol if the Spaniard asked out, as he did for big brother Pau a decade ago.
Whatever the reason why he did so — that saying anything else might've further cratered his assets' trade value, that it's what he truly wants and believes, maybe a little of both — Wallace said what he had to say when he had to say it. But if the Grizzlies continue their descent through the natural course of being hurt and bad, rather than by intentionally tanking their way out of the playoff picture, it very much remains to be seen whether he'll be saying the same thing in the run-up to the February trade deadline.

When heated or rubbed it emits a peculiar disagreeable odour.
At the summit are two deep craters, the southern of which emits steam.
The great plain in Sheng-king is in many parts swampy, and in the neighbourhood of the sea, where the soil emits a saline exudation such as is also common in the north of China, it is perfectly sterile.
He was distinguished as the discoverer of radioactivity, having found in 1896 that uranium at ordinary temperatures emits an invisible radiation which in many respects resembles Rntgen rays, and can affect a photographic plate after passing through thin plates of metal.
It is divided into three parts, separated by walls, and each containing a lake, of which the middle one emits steam and the two others are cold.
No conclusion can therefore be drawn, as Stark' has more recently pointed out, respecting the charge of the molecule which emits the observed spectrum.
The male organ (antheridium) consists of a few cells, the terminal one of which either abstricts from its end, or emits from its interior the non-motile spermatia, reminding us of those of the Florideae.
Radium itself emits three types of rays: (1) the a rays, which are regarded as positively charged helium atoms; these rays are stopped by a single sheet of paper; (2) the s rays, which are identified with the cathode rays, i.e.
In the wild state it does great damage among poultry, and frequently makes off with the young of swine and sheep. When hunted it makes a determined resistance, and emits a scent so strong as even to sicken the dogs, who nevertheless are exceedingly fond of the sport, and cannot be got to pursue any other game while the stench of the zibeth is in their nostrils.
In its period of 406 days it fluctuates between the thirteenth and the fourth magnitudes; thus at maximum it emits 4000 times as much light as at minimum.
In this case the companion, being about half the mass of Sirius itself, has probably cooled more rapidly, and on that account emits much less light.
In Baluchistan these volcanoes appear to be extinct; though the Koh-i-Tafdan, beyond the Persian frontier, still emits vapours at frequent intervals.
If a luminous body is surrounded by empty space, the light which it emits suffers no loss of energy as it travels outwards.
Precise conclusions are possible only when a gaseous body is transparent through and through, so that the gas emits its characteristic rays - or when the rays from an incandescent body of any kind pass through a gaseous envelope at a temperature lower than that of the body itself.
If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal--that is your success.
The oil when brought to the surface has the appearance of a whitish-blue water, which gives out brilliant straw-coloured rays, and emits a strong pungent odour.
They consist of a so-called "frond" - a flattened green more or less oval structure which emits branches similar to itself from lateral pockets at or near the base.
Ruapehu (9100 ft.) is intermittently active, and Ngauruhoe (75 1 5 ft.) emits vapour and steam incessantly.
Potassium nitrate is chiefly used to make nitre paper, which on burning emits fumes useful in the treatment of the asthmatic paroxysm.
The "singing beach" is a stretch of white sand, which, when trodden upon, emits a curious musical sound.


Denver Center for the Performing Arts will pair a dramatic classic with its more contemporary, comedic counterpart as part of its 2019–2020 season. The lineup includes Ibsen's A Doll's House and Lucas Hnath's A Doll's House, Part 2, to be performed in repertory for the first time September 6 through November 24.
Artistic Director Chris Coleman will helm the first, with Rose Riordan directing Hnath's comedy; both stagings are set to play the Ricketson Theatre.
The season will first kick off with Paula Vogel's Indecent, to be directed by Nancy Keystone. Dominique Kelley will choreograph the new production, set to run August 30 through October 6 at the Space Theatre.
Two world premieres appear in the lineup, beginning with Bonnie Metzgar's You Lost Me. Similar to Come From Away, the play follows the Newfoundland, Canada's community's response to tragedy, with the 1828 sinking of the brig Despatch and the rescue of 160 passengers by 17-year-old Ann Harvey as the starting point. Two centuries later, a descendant of the Harvey family struggles to leave her own mark on the community with a tourist blog and maintaining the Harvey's Shipwreck Inn. Margot Bordelon will direct the January 17–February 23, 2020, presentation in the Ricketson Theatre.
The world premiere of twenty50 will follow January 31–March 1 in the Space Theatre. Tony Menses' thriller, born out of the Colorado New Play Summit, is set in 2050 when a Mexican-American questions whether embracing his identity will help or hinder his results on the campaign trail. Henry Godinez will direct.
The season also includes a Coleman-directed staging of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night (November 15–December 22), Dael Orlandersmith's Ferguson, Missouri-inspired solo show Until the Flood (March 20–April 26), and Tarell Alvin McCraney's Choir Boy, recently seen on Broadway (April 10–May 10).

Irländsk julafton, irländsk fylla, norsk fylla, spansk fylla, är en lek som går ut på att man står framåtböjd med pannan mot en käpp eller liknande föremål och snurrar ett visst antal varv innan man skall ta sig runt en bana.

Banan kan variera från att vara komplicerad till något så enkelt som att runda en kon (det vanligaste alternativet). Leken anses svår då snurrningarna kombinerat med den framåtlutande ställningen frambringar yrsel och hämmar orienteringsförmågan. Olika personer är olika känsliga för dessa slags aktiviteter, och det är inte ovanligt att illamående förekommer.

I engelskan går liknande lekar under namnet dizzy bat.

I've had a tremendous career, and now I feel like I'm 30 years old again. This has given me that freedom I needed. I've got so much more in me — I'm just getting my feet wet."

The Payoff Pitch
Nellie King: Reveling in retirement
by Cristina Rouvalis
Nellie King is lying on a hospital bed, his once-sinewy muscles flaccid, his face ashen. The man who once hurled sinking fastballs past Frank Robinson and Ernie Banks is so weak from pneumonia that he can barely draw a breath. He has this terrifying sensation of his skin separating from his skeleton.
His youngest daughter, Amy, leans over his Mercy Hospital bed, and as he slides back into consciousness, she says, "Dad, it's the bottom of the ninth inning. There are two outs. No one is warming up. It's up to you."
King laughs. Then in a stranger-than-fiction twist, he makes the biggest save of his life. He rallies not only for his daughter, but also to finish his new memoir, "Happiness is Like a Cur Dog," and become one of the best Parkinson's disease patients to ever wield a Wii remote control for bowling.
His recovery has led him to an unlikely athletic camaraderie inside Friendship Village of South Hills retirement community in Upper St. Clair. Far from the roar of Major League Baseball stadiums, King, 81, winds up. Only his long, thin right arm swings underhand before he flicks the Wii remote up toward the TV screen. The virtual bowling pins crash down, shattering the silence of the rose floral lounge. "Strike!" he calls out, as his left arm leans on his walker for balance.
Even with the tremors of Parkinson's and severe back pain, the former relief pitcher and Pirates announcer understands the mechanics of an efficient swing. At 6′ 3″, down from 6′ 5″ during his athletic prime, King towers over his competitor — a slight man named George Hill, who also has Parkinson's and uses a wheelchair. "Come on George," he says. "Squeeze it and drop it."
Hill misses and grimaces. King consoles him by saying, "You can't get much hook on the ball when you are sitting down. The coordination is hard with Parkinson's." The next frame, Hill gets a strike and beams. "There you go," King calls out. "We are the Parkinson pals."
Hill, who trails 101 to King's 150, quips that King is too scared to play Wii baseball with him. "I was never a good hitter," King says, laughing. "That is why I was a pitcher."
"Nellie has his own little ministry going on here," says Cindy McClung, chaplain of Friendship Village. "He has a special touch with people. People find him comforting."
King, who had his near-death experience two years ago, cheers up people like Hill, who moved from a spacious apartment in the independent living area of the retirement community to the health center after he suffered falls. His wife has Parkinson's too.
King also consoles Jim Reynolds, whose mother,Virginia, is a resident of the health center because her advanced Parkinson's has taken her ability to speak. Reynolds feels guilty traveling for his job, but King tells him. "You are doing everything you can. She is in a good place. The staff is watching over her. I am watching over her."
For all of his wisdom, King is also like a kid, always looking for someone to play a pickup game. "He takes great pleasure in playing Wii, even if you win," Reynolds says. "He doesn't seem like someone who is 81 with Parkinson's disease and living in a nursing home."
The first time Reynolds met him, King was typing his memoirs at the computer in the lounge. Reynolds told him he was thrilled to meet the man whose voice was part of his cherished baseball memories in the '60s and '70s.
Reynolds loves hearing Nellie's stories from his Pirates days. "He spins out one gem after another."
Ask King about the title of his memoir, "Happiness is Like a Cur Dog," and he will talk about Branch Rickey, the Dodgers' general manager who broke the race barrier by signing Jackie Robinson before becoming general manager of the Pirates. A college-educated man who didn't drink or carouse, Rickey would give his Pirate team talks that had nothing to do with baseball. "You can't get up in the morning and say, 'I am going to be happy today. You can't will it,'" King recalls Rickey telling the players one spring morning. "Happiness is a byproduct of what you do with your life."
Rickey then told the parable of a house painter who was haphazardly painting a garage door and a cur dog, or mutt, came near him. He tried to pet the dog, but the mutt ran away. It wasn't until the painter became absorbed in painting, whistling and singing, that the dog came and sat by him, nuzzling his leg. "That is what happiness is like," King says. "If you keep doing what you like in life, happiness is going to be by your leg all the time."
King has lived his life that way, triumphing over a childhood that sounds Dickensian. He was born on March 15, 1928, in Weston Place, a tiny coal mining town in central Pennsylvania. The youngest of five, he was an accident; 17 years younger than the next child. When he was 5, his father, a coal miner, died, and his happy childhood came to a jarring end. It was the Great Depression, and his mother, left without a safety net, sent him at age 8 to the Hershey Industrial School, "an orphanage for poor Caucasian boys. It was crushing. I didn't know anyone."
He was put to work on a dairy farm, milking 30 head of Holstein cattle. "There was not much time for baseball," he says. "Idleness was the devil's workshop."
But he knew he wanted to be a ballplayer, even though it was a long shot. At 18, he joined a YMCA league in Lebanon. A Cardinal scout saw him pitch, and liked that the lanky kid could throw strikes. He paid him $100 a month to play, but soon King was released. He persevered, once hitchhiking to a tryout. He may have never made it to the majors had he not gone to a farm team in Geneva, Ala. A fiery second baseman named "Cotton" Borsage watched him pitch and said, "Kid, you have great control. You throw over the plate consistently. You keep it down where the percentages are. But you don't have any movement on your fastball. How do you hold the ball?"
"I hold it with two fingers across the seams like that," he said. "I read in a book that is how Bob Feller holds it."
"Look kid, you can't throw as hard as Bob Feller. Why don't you hold it with the seams?"
Putting his fingers along the seams helped him develop a mean sinking fastball, the edge that got him to the major leagues. In 1954, he signed with the Pirates. In four seasons there, from 1954 to 1957, he pitched 173 innings, winning seven games, losing five and saving six.
He loved baseball even if he only made $9,500 a year. "I was a baseball player in 1954 b.c. — Before Cash," he quips. But his career ended abruptly at age 29, when he injured his arm throwing a curve ball.
With no idea what to do next, he began selling mutual funds. He was miserable. "I used to get on my hands and knees and pray that I could find something that would give me the same joy and satisfaction as baseball."
King's answer came the day he got a call from the Pirates' front office, informing him that several small radio stations in Kittanning, Latrobe and Butler were looking for a sports broadcaster. He landed the job in 1960 and began his second act in broadcasting, doing a daily sports show and covering high school football and golf, which had a charismatic new star named Arnold Palmer.
In 1967, he got his big break. For the second time, he joined the Pirates, this time in the broadcast booth. King replaced Don Hoak and joined Bob Prince on the air. They had a rocky start.
King says he tried to play an obsequious role to the established Prince, but the star broadcaster resented him at first. "There was antipathy among professional announcers that these jock straps were coming in and getting into their game," King says.
The tension came to a head in 1968 during a broadcast at Dodgers Stadium. Prince asked him a question about a long-haired catcher named Bill Sedakis, who needed to be revived with smelling salts after he slid into base. "What do you think of that? A young kid like that needing smelling salts," Prince asked him on the air. When King didn't reply, Prince said, "I asked you a question — aren't you going to answer it?"
King fumed. That was it. He was either going to be fired or take a stand. "Don't you ever show me up on the air again," he told Prince during a break. "If you do that again, I will hit you in the mouth."
From then on, they got on well, making a popular team until they were abruptly fired at the end of the 1975 season. (King tells the behind-the-scenes drama in his book.)
Once again, King was casting around for another job. He went to Duquesne University, where he became sports information director and golf coach. Even in his 70s, he was broadcasting and playing golf, shooting in the high 70s and low 80s.
Golf, like pitching, is all about balance. Parkinson's disease has robbed him of his balance, and he is trying to keep his trademark optimism as his body fails him. "That is the tough thing about being old. You have to accept things that you can't do anything about. It is more annoying than depressing. But I am not going to sit around and cry about it."
Instead, King plays Wii bowling and delivers the 133 books he sold at Friendship Village. He walks slowly, inching along behind his walker, but his memory is racing.
"It was like a camera was running," he says of writing his memoirs. "I could just replay my life. If you like what you are doing, memory soaks up everything around you."
"Happiness is like a Cur Dog: The Thirty-year Journey of a Major League Pitcher and Broadcaster" can be ordered from Amazon.com.

Even after 20 years, this series still holds a special place in the hearts of many, including mine. Seeing these episodes in clearly remastered digital glory rekindled the magic, even though it's been nearly 15 years since I'd seen them last, on worn and barely viewable VHS tapes made from the series' brief run on Showtime from 1984-86.
Since Dragon Page Cover to Cover has thrown the door open to more contributor reviews, both in audio and print form, I'd like to do the same thing here.
There are a lot of books and movies and tv shows that we won't get to, or at least not get to any time soon, so I don't see any reason why we can't post written reviews here, or include the occassional audio review in a KAMN episode. Same Ninjas rules apply… anything 10 years old or older is fair game.

Funding for Family Planning and Reproductive Health (FP/RH) improves maternal and child health, reduces unintended pregnancies, prevents unsafe abortions, lowers rates of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and promotes gender equality and the rights of women and girls.
Funds support programming that provides voluntary modern contraception services and supplies and prevents practices that harm women and girls, including female genital cutting and gender-based violence.
In FY 2019, the U.S. invested a total of $607.5 million in international FP/RH. This funding achieved:
Contraceptive services and supplies distributed to 24.3 million women and couples;
7.2 million unintended pregnancies averted; and
14,700 maternal deaths prevented.
International FP/RH programs are cost-effective; every additional dollar spent on contraceptive services saves $2.22 in pregnancy-related care.
Spacing pregnancies by at least three years with family planning could prevent an estimated 26% of under-5 child deaths.
An estimated 214 million women in developing regions who want to avoid pregnancy for at least two years have an unmet need for modern contraceptives. Meeting this need would reduce unintended pregnancies and decrease abortions, many of which are unsafe.
About 295,000 women died from pregnancy and childbirth in 2017, including from unsafe abortions. The "vast majority of these deaths—94%—occurred in low-resource settings, and most could have been prevented."
Addressing the demand for FP/RH services promotes women's rights and empowerment by enabling women and girls to pursue educational and economic opportunities and enhancing programs that prevent and address child, early, and forced marriage, as well as gender-based violence.
About 295,000 women died from pregnancy and childbirth in 2017.
Investments in bilateral and multilateral FP/RH programs are essential to achieving U.S. global health goals, advancing gender equality, supporting more sustainable development, and raising standards of living.
Funding for family planning and reproductive health reduces maternal mortality and promotes the development of healthier, more prosperous societies.
The U.S.'s share of global bilateral family planning and reproductive health required to reach the unmet need is $1.55 billion. Burden share was agreed on by UN member states in 1994. Burden sharing is calculated based on targets which specified that one-third of the necessary financial resources should be provided by donor countries and two-thirds by developing nations. The U.S. percentage share is based on the total gross national income of the developed world. Other donor governments and developing nations are responsible for $10.44 billion.
With each additional $10 million, 400,000 more women and couples would receive contraceptive services and supplies and as a result, 119,000 fewer unintended pregnancies would occur. This would lead to:
53,000 fewer unplanned births;
51,000 fewer abortions, including 34,000 fewer provided in unsafe conditions; and
240 fewer maternal deaths.

Group Of Lions Finally Experience Freedom In Africa After Spending Their Whole Lives In Traveling Circuses
Though the circuses are places of entertainment and make many people including children have fun, the mistreatment of animals there is inhuman. Many animals are overweight or treated very severely just for doing some fascinating tricks.
Recently 33 caged lions were set free from traveling circuses in Colombia and Peru. Now they are enjoying the African sun on their backs and playing in the enormous areas without anyone accompanying them.
The poor lions were rescued by Animal Defenders International (ADI). Tim Phillips, the Animal Defenders International co-founder, said that they faced many difficulties but they overcame the challenges and managed to bring happiness to these lions.

Lancaster – Those who attend the next Covered Bridge Music Series show at Ohio University Lancaster may notice a few changes in the Wagner Theatre. The Wagner Theatre renovation project is underway. The walls have been painted and most of the improvements have been made to the sound system.
The Wagner Theatre was built in the 1960's and much of the equipment no longer meets industry standards or supports the many function that we use the theatre for today. A fundraising campaign to generate the money to update the space has made great progress and community support but has a way to go to reach its goal. With the improved facilities, the theatre program will have better equipment to enhance productions as well as be equipped to host more visiting artists and performers and to serve as a venue for lectures by nationally-known speakers.
Grammy-Nominated Singer/Songwriter John Fullbright will perform in the 475-seat Wagner Theatre on Saturday, September 12 as part of the Covered Bridge Music Series. A plainspoken approach is part of what's fueled the young Oklahoman's remarkable rise. It was just a few years ago that Fullbright released his debut studio album, 'From The Ground Up' to a swarm of critical acclaim.

Never trust, always verify: The Zero Trust security model
What is Zero Trust, and why is it attractive for modern business?
The Zero Trust model has been gaining popularity among organizations in recent years. According to 2019 data, 78% of information security teams had implemented this model or at least were planning to make the move. Here, we break down the Zero Trust concept to see what makes it attractive for business.
The perimeter is no more
Perimeter security, a common term in corporate infrastructure protection, encapsulates the use of thorough checks for any and all attempts to connect to corporate resources from outside that infrastructure. Essentially, it establishes a border between the corporate network and the rest of the world. Inside the perimeter — inside the corporate network — however, becomes a trusted zone in which users, devices, and applications enjoy a certain freedom.
Perimeter security worked — as long as the trusted zone was limited to the local access network and stationary devices connected to it. But the "perimeter" concept blurred as the number of mobile gadgets and cloud services in use by employees grew. These days, at least a portion of corporate resources is located outside of the office or even abroad. Trying to hide them behind even the tallest of walls is impractical at best. Penetrating the trusted zone and moving around unhindered has become much easier.
Back in 2010, Forrester Research Principal Analyst John Kindervag put forward the concept of Zero Trust as an alternative to perimeter security. He proposed giving up the external-versus-internal distinction and focusing instead on resources. Zero Trust is, in essence, an absence of trust zones of any kind. In this model, users, devices and applications are subject to checks every time they request access to a corporate resource.
Zero Trust in practice
There is no single approach to deploying a security system based on Zero Trust. Despite this, one can identify several core principles that can help build a system like that.
Protect surface instead of attack surface
The Zero Trust concept typically involves a "protect surface," which includes everything the organization must protect from unauthorized access: confidential data, infrastructure components, and so on. The protect surface is significantly smaller than the attack surface, which includes all potentially vulnerable infrastructure assets, processes, and actors. It is thus easier to ensure the protect surface is secure than to reduce the attack surface to zero.
Microsegmentation
Unlike the classic approach, which provides for external perimeter protection, the Zero Trust model breaks down corporate infrastructure and other resources into small nodes, which can consist of as few as one device or application. The result is lots of microscopic perimeters, each with its own security policies and access permissions, allowing flexibility in managing access and enabling companies to block the uncontrollable spread of a threat within the network.
Least-privilege principle
Each user is granted only the privileges required to perform their own tasks. Thus, an individual user account being hacked compromises only part of the infrastructure.
The Zero Trust doctrine says one must treat any attempt at gaining access to corporate information as a potential threat until it's proven otherwise. So, for each session, every user, device, and application must pass the authentication procedure and prove that it has the right to access the data at hand.
For a Zero Trust implementation to be effective, the IT team must have the ability to control every work device and application. Essential, too, is recording and analyzing information about every event on endpoints and other infrastructure components.
Benefits of Zero Trust
In addition to eliminating the need to protect the perimeter, which gets increasingly blurry as the business grows increasingly mobile, Zero Trust solves some other problems. In particular, with every process actor being checked and rechecked continuously, companies can more easily adapt to change, for example by removing departing employees' access privileges or adjusting the privileges of those whose responsibilities have changed.
Challenges in implementing Zero Trust
Transition to Zero Trust can prove lengthy and fraught with difficulty for some organizations. If your employees use both office equipment and personal devices for work, then all equipment must be inventoried; corporate policies need to be set up on devices required for work; and others need to be blocked from accessing corporate resources. For large companies with branches in multiple cities and countries, the process will take some time.
Not all systems are equally well adapted to a Zero Trust transition. If your company has a complex infrastructure, for example, it may include obsolete devices or software that cannot support current security standards. Replacing these systems will take time and money.
Your employees, including members of your IT and infosec teams, may not be ready for the change of framework. After all, they are the ones who will become responsible for access control and management of your infrastructure.
That means in many cases companies may need a gradual Zero Trust transition plan. For example, Google needed seven years to build the BeyondCorp framework based on Zero Trust. Implementation time may be substantially shorter for less-branched corporate organizations, but you shouldn't expect to squeeze the process into a couple of weeks — or even months.
Modern approaches to solving the Zero Trust problem
Although the trailblazers had to spend a lot of time and resources building their own Zero Trust–compliant networks, gaining an understanding of how nodes on the protect surface should interact with the trust system took much longer.
The most widely recognized architecture at present is ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access). Its base components are a controller tasked with managing access policies on the levels of users, devices and applications, and a service gateway, which applies policies to connected devices and provides controlled access to corporate resources.
ZTNA helps reduce the attack surface significantly; only authorized users, devices, and applications are granted access to nodes on the protect surface.
Thus, large companies can already employ a combination of traditional methods of protecting users and applications within the network perimeter, and Zero Trust principles for remote users and to protect resources located in public or private clouds.
In 2019, the Gartner research company proposed a universal framework named SASE (Secure Access Service Edge). SASE is a new suite of technologies, with SD-WAN, SWG, CASB, ZTNA, and FWaaS as its core components. It enables the identification of confidential data and malware, as well as traffic decryption with continuous monitoring of user and device connections to cloud services. Zero Trust is the core of this new framework.
Zero Trust, security of the future
Thus, transition from traditional perimeter security to ensuring a protect surface under the Zero Trust framework, albeit assuming the use of available technology, may still be a less-than-simple or quick project, both in engineering terms and in terms of changing employee mindset. However, it will ensure that the company benefits from lower infosec expenses as well as a reduced number of incidents and their associated damage.
Established cybersecurity vendors such as Kaspersky have begun a gradual transformation of traditional protection tools for use in a cloud environment. The Zero Trust concept is becoming the core of new services, ensuring connectivity between valuable corporate resources and users, regardless of their location.
New cloud technology is following the long path from the adaptation and rethinking of use cases to practically corporate standards. Zero Trust is a vivid example of this kind of transition. We will soon witness the emergence of enterprise cloud systems that offer significantly shortened implementation times and retain the required levels of security and usability.

buying things in larger packages to reduce plastic use (like paper towells). We just had to find a place to store them!
Along the way, we discovered that plastic containers should not be used for heating/hot food, especially OLD stuff. The article said, "If it's your Mom's Tupperware from the 70's, you should probably ditch it"… ummm, I'm the "Mom", who bought lots of that stuff for her hope chest, way back in the 70's; so, I get to buy new containers!
NEW change: we learned that tons of water and chemicals go into making toilet paper, and thinking how much toilet paper we go through, we've ended up discovering how lovely it is to have a bidet! The thought started because of the toilet paper coming wrapped in plastic.
EXCITING NEW CHANGE TO COME: making my own yogurt!! Sam told me when he bought the Instant Pot that I could make yogurt, but it didn't seem worth it at the time. Now that I'm trying to send as little plastic to Thailand as possible (supposedly they recycle it, but apparently it just gets sent away), any margarine tubs and yogurt tubs should be washed and reused… but I've never liked the yogurt containers that I get. NOW I'm looking forward to making my own and storing in jars! And if there's too much, I'm sure my Mom would love some! Before, I probably had memories of standing over the stove for long periods stirring milk, but it will be a cinch with the Instant Pot.
And speaking of face cream, shampoo BARS work great! The one I have was bought in an expensive store, but there are also lots of recipes for that… we'll see if they're easy and work for my hair.
Getting tired of this by this 10th time (and 298 daily lines in the chart!), but as I said elsewhere, no point in giving up now, when there are only two months left! In fact, I've enjoyed skimming over the previous favourites here.
SEPTEMBER faves: less busy, more cat; less road, more trail; less line, more curl.
OCTOBER faves: less metal, more wood; less why, more who; less drama, more Word; less plush, more others.
Two months in one, because of how busy we've been this Fall.
and now the Christmas baking has begun!

Could this finally be the shaming Losantos deserves?
Shock-jock from the Catholic radio network La Cope, Federico Jiménez Losantos, is being sued by Madrid mayor Alberto Ruíz-Gallardón over accusations the radio personality made concerning the mayor's attitude to the victims of the 11-M bombings in Madrid. Apparently (and I have to trust El País on this, as I never listen to El Cope), Losantos repeated various accusations against Gallardón, especially that he "didn't want to know who killed 200 people in his city".
In a slightly odd move, Losantos is trying to call some top PP officials including Comunidad de Madrid premier, Esperanza Aguirre, Eduardo Zaplana and Ángel Acebes to his defence, I assume as character witnesses. These people represent the right-wing of the PP and they recently won something of a power-struggle in the party against Gallardón's slightly less extreme wing. They're also well known for strongly disliking Gallardón, despite (or because of?) his popularity among voters in the capital.
So either these people will stand up and defend their mate, Losantos (the same guy who openly claimed that "Zapatero has an enormous, and growing, responsibility for 11-M"), or they will leave him in the lurch and risk his ire on the airwaves. For the PP, one would think that their obvious choice would be to call Losantos and say something along the lines of "Sorry old chap, election's coming up dontchaknow, can't have this nonsense… firm friend… you're best off on your own…" (at least that's what the Tories would do). But might this not be difficult for the PP leadership? Could it be risky for them to alienate the far-right sector of Spanish society so close to an election? Or… could they use this as an opportunity to finally twist the knife they stuck in Gallardón and show their strength?
Actually, the court proceedings start after the election, but I suspect that journalists will be keen to know just what the PP's leadership plan to do with Losantos (and if they're not, they bloody well should be). If they can avoid this serious question in the run-up to the election (and they certainly shouldn't), what does it say about a party which desperately wants to wrest power from the Socialists? Either they're with Losantos or they drop him: time to decide.
Well he's got another court appearance now, the police union has presented a case against him for his lies about 11-M. I'm not sure I like this as a way of dealing with these fabrications, it seems too easy to bring a court case against someone in Spain for sayng almost anything. On the other hand, if it has to happen then Losantos is as deserving a recipient as anyone I can think of.
These guys are still straight franquistas, 'poor' Gallardón.
Here comes another great quote from Losantos: "The (socialist) Government has only talked with homosexuals, terrorists and Catalans. When will they talk to normal people?".
Oh, and it's La Cope, not El Cope.
Graeme – yeah I know what you mean. But this is exactly how these sorts of issues should be decided: in the courts.
I guess that the more mature approach might be to ignore Losantos, Moa and the rest of them: they are nutters, after all. The problem is that they have access to the ears of millions of Spaniards through the COPE network.
Grey – thanks for the correction, duly noted.
As to that other quote: it's amazing, but taken at face value, that could still equally apply to the PP during their time in power (well, maybe except the homosexuals bit).
I bet Losantos has wet-dreams like that one in Torrente 3 where he wakes up a Catalan. Idea for a video right there.
It's amazing how Spain ain't got no liberal right-wing. They have no Convergència.
Grey – actually, I think this new party, the UPyD is the equivalent of a 'liberal' right wing. But they've got some pretty wild policies which mean they will probably never get elected (like removing pretty much all self-government and autonomy from Catalonia and the Basque Country).
Grey – I take that back. UPyD is proposing some truly mental ideas (like a complete centralisation of government in Madrid and the dissolution of the autonomous regions – things even the PP wouldn't propose).
Haha. UpyD are even worse than PP when it comes to centralisation. They are just a lil bit more open-minded when it comes to the traditional values but they are stronger Spanish nationalists.


Another way that social media contributes to feeling isolated is it Can Negatively Affect Self Image. on a daily basis people are posting pictures and statuses of the fun activities and what they are doing in there life like, their romantic relationships, achievement in their careers, and so on. People looking at these photos and feel that something is lacking in your life, seeing other people's triumph can be very difficult for many. If a person is particularly struggling with something in there life and, see someone else's success in that area can be especially hard. As you are scrolling through your news feed and it is one post after the next of all these exciting things, it is easy to start feeling badly about yourself As the more you scroll and see many of the similar fun thing your friends and family. are do doing you can't help yourself and feel bad for your self.
One last effect that social media is the cause of is FOMO (fear of missing out). FOMO is "is a concern people have that others may be having more fun and rewarding experiences than them and is characterised as the desire to stay continually connected with what others are doing." for example When people misses out on a party, vacation or other event and activities with people who are close to them, they start to feel a snec of being left out than those who showed up and snapped photos.

What's So Bad About Cholesterol?
Cholesterol has a worse reputation than it deserves. This waxy lipid (a kind of fat) is essential to good health. It builds the membranes that hold cells together. It's used in making certain hormones and the digestive fluid, bile. It's also part of the protective covering that wraps nerve fibers. In blood, the cholesterol molecule does not dissolve in plasma. It circulates attached to water-soluble compounds called lipoproteins. High-density lipoproteins, HDLs, are the so-called 'good' carriers. They carry cholesterol away from artery walls. They take it to the liver for disposal. They also prevent free radicals from combining with oxygen and damaging artery walls.
Cholesterol is only bad when it forms plaques that block arteries and impede blood flow. LDLs, for low-density lipoproteins, are the 'bad' carriers. They let cholesterol attach to artery walls. If it combines with oxygen there, it attracts white blood cells to the site. The body treats a build-up of oxidized LDL-cholesterol as an injury. The area becomes inflamed, then heals, only to become inflamed and heal again. That sets the stage for a blood clot or heart attack.
When doctors measure cholesterol levels, they look at the total amount of cholesterol in the blood, but they also compare HDLs and LDLs. For example, a low risk is less than 200 milligrams per deciliter of cholesterol and less than 130 milligrams of LDL (bad cholesterol). A moderate risk is 200-239 milligrams of cholesterol and 130-159 milligrams of LDL. A high risk is more than 240 milligrams of cholesterol and more than 160 milligrams of LDL.
What's the Difference between LDL and HDL Cholesterol?
