Surprising study shows cold weather a factor in NFL injuries
April 1, 2016 by Jerry Newberry Leave a Comment
Study shows weather has an impact on risk of injury.
Canadian researchers looking at data from the five most common injuries plaguing National Football League players between 2012 and 2014 have found the cold weather contributes to an increased risk of injury, according to UPI.
The findings show the players' risk of concussion was twice as high on days when the temperature at game time was 50 degrees or colder, and players had a 1.5 times greater risk of ankle injuries, as compared to games played when the temperature was above 70 degrees.
Lead study author Dr. David Lawrence, a clinical fellow at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, said there had been a lot of discussions lately concerning risk of injury in the NFL, particularly concussions. "The first step in improving player safety and lowering that risk is to identify the factors affecting injury rates. Once we can answer those questions, we can begin to modify player exposure," said Lawrence in a news release from the hospital.
He continued by saying, "There is limited research looking at the external risk factors for injuries in the NFL. Given this is one of the first studies to look at these variables, we can only speculate at this time on the underlying causes for the associations we observed with specific injuries on game days."
Calling for more research on the matter, Lawrence gave examples that may play a factor in the findings, such as protective equipment worn by the players may not be as flexible on extremely cold days, which cold increase the force of impact.
He also suggested the players may be reporting injuries at a higher rate on cold days, because of additional contact with the athletic staff on the sidelines. The possibility exists that concussion-related injuries occurring in the warmer weather could be misdiagnosed as heat-related conditions and skew the data as well.
"Applying this information may help inform future injury prevention strategies in the NFL, or other professional sports, and highlight the effects of these seemingly small external factors," said Lawrence.
The findings of the study were published in the March 31 issue of the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine.

Blog about statistics, visualizations, R, and whatever else that comes to mind.
I've been doing some work with Twitter data. In much of this work, my life would be so much easier if we could geographically locate the origin of the tweets. There are some ways to do this using the twitter APIs. For example, if a user has geo-location turned on, you can get the precise lat-lng info for a specific tweet. Also, each user has the option to set a location in their profile. Using this free-form info, you can get an idea of where the user is located, but this is not relevant to each specific tweet, it's a user attribute. So, a Chicago native traveling and tweeting in Florida will be a problem. Using this information, you can get some information for some people. But it's not complete... so I thought about trying some other ways of location a twitter user.
My first crack at this was to see if a given twitter user is a foursquare user. Foursquare users use the service to check in to places for points or other purposes. Any how, using the foursquare API, you can retrieve a lat-lng pair for a given checkin. My idea was to look at a user's tweet history to see if there are any fourquare links. Take these foursquare links and use the foursquare API to get lat-lng pairs. Then, cluster these points and choose the mid point of the largest cluster, that is, the cluster with the most points, as the guess for the twitter users location.
Then, I extract the links and resolve them using a link expander service. Once that is done, I can take the foursquare links, and bounce them off of the foursquare API to get a lat-lng pair. I made a function to do this. Note that you will need a foursquare API key saved in a file as noted in the function.
Now, you have a list of lat-lng pairs from foursquare. I use the Mclust to find the largest cluster. Then, using the points in that largest cluster, take the average lat and average lng to be the center of the cluster. That is my guess for where my twitter user of interest lives.
Next, I create an openstreets map to display this. The red dots represent the various lat-lng pairs from foursquare, and the blue dot is the cluster center.
The code can be found on github.

Swim and dive falls short at OEC championships
By: Austin Turner
After three days of championship racing at the Orange Empire Conference Swimming and Diving Championships, the Riverside City College Tigers just couldn't catch Orange Coast College.
The OCC Pirates dominated the championships, capturing both the men's and women's titles while continuing their chase for state.
The RCC women's team were able to finish in second, with 533 overall points, while the men settled for third place with 553 points.
Among the women earning podium finishes for the Tigers was Jaquelin Meza, who placed third in the diving competition. Freshman Monet Marquez was also able to earn a bronze with a time of 26.66 in the 50 yard freestyle.
The leading scorer for the Tigers with 44 points was the season-long standout for the team, Supavee Nilaad, who earned fourth place in both the 200 medley and the 100 breaststroke.
As for the men, freshman Javier Bernal once again stole the show with a pair of runner- up finishes and a conference title. Bernal posted a blistering time of 1 minute and 52 seconds in the 200 butterfly, good for a first place finish and conference championship in that event.
Sophomore Farouk Zaoui was another top finisher for the Tigers. He placed third in the 500 freestyle, 400 medley and 200 butterfly, putting up a crucial 48 points for the team.
Freshman Alexandre Piron scored 43 points, including a second place finish in the 100 butterfly stroke.
Though the OEC championships have concluded, the season is not over for some.
Bernal, Zaoui and Piron will each compete in the California Community College Athletic Association Swimming and Diving State Championships, beginning May 5 at De Anza College. RCC will also be competing in five relay events, in addition to the three individual competitors.

How a scion of Vail became a social media sensation sculpting modernist masterpieces on the beaches of New York City.
When Calvin Seibert was a boy, he and his two brothers treated the nascent town of Vail like their playground. Their father, Pete Seibert, had cofounded the resort in 1962, and the boys spent their days running amok through the newly built village—"a free-form maze where risks could be taken and games invented," he recalls.
Then a Bridge Street water-balloon fight got out of hand in 1968, and someone told them to take their shenanigans elsewhere. Seibert found a new pastime: building makeshift structures in his parents' yard. His father showed him a photo of a brutalist French building designed by the famed modernist Marcel Breuer. Shortly thereafter, his mother had some sand delivered and bought bags of cement at the lumber yard in Minturn, and Seibert set about building his own version of the concrete fortress. It was the beginning of a craft that recently has brought him improbable renown, as a mountain man-turned-sandcastle master in New York City. "A lot of what I made had the quality of abstract sculpture, though it was years before I came to understand that," Seibert, now 60, says of his childhood hobby.
As the ski resort founder's son, Seibert holds a lifetime ski pass to Vail, and he still makes it home to ski a day or two each year (his favorite run is Avanti). But he mostly whiles away his winters in New York City, dreaming about next summer's castles.

If expectations without consequences is wishful thinking, then we get exactly what we ask when our expectations aren't followed.
You know what I hate? Tracking and following up on all the little things that everyone is supposed to be doing.
I hate that because I have a lot of other things that seem more important than hounding teachers for not doing their attendance every day.
Sometimes, however, I feel that my teachers need me to hold them accountable so they can hold the students accountable.
The question I still don't know the answer to is what needs to be measured to get actual results?
Do we all need the same standards?
I've been thinking a lot lately about standards. Do we all need the same standards?
Everyone needs to be able to read, because that is the gateway drug. Even with so much video accessible today, I still believe that everyone needs to be able to read.
Everyone needs some mathematical concepts, but how much?
Everyone needs to understand some parts of history, but there is so much more to it than just understanding dates and battles and people, but what exactly?
I'm going to make a bold claim (that isn't necessarily new) that our standards are too numerous. We need a lot fewer than we currently have. How much should they be stripped down? That's the real question.


Constipation in kids is so common that it may even seem normal—but it's not normal. The causes of childhood constipation are many, it's a sign of poor digestion, and it's critical to relieve it.
Constipation burdens your child in two ways: by blocking one of the body's methods of flushing waste and allowing chemicals from that waste to be reabsorbed into the bloodstream, and by generating irritation as stool sits in the colon.
For a child to grow well and thrive, constipation must be relieved.
I suggest parents take a two-pronged approach whenever they are trying to help their kids: The first prong is to detect and relieve contributing factors; the second prong is to support the body's natural processes.
This list is certainly not exhaustive, but the following contributors can easily be remedied with a little help from mom or dad.
Once the contributor or contributors are identified, the body's natural processes can be more adequately supported by following the tips below and introducing other natural treatments.
Magnesium is a natural laxative. It brings water into the colon and stimulates the muscles in the digestive lining. It can be given as a supplement, starting slowly and increasing until stools soften. There is little risk of taking too much magnesium for a short time, but if your child feels any symptoms other than soft stools, stop. And if there is diarrhea, cut back.
Zinc helps trigger digestive enzymes and reestablish HCL levels in the stomach to get digestion moving. I like using a liquid as it is particularly easy to give to children and is highly absorbable. The risk of zinc overdose is possible, so you don't want to use high doses without consulting a practitioner, but if used as directed and for a short time it is quite safe to try for constipation relief.
Increase probiotics. There is, as of this point, no toxic upper limit for probiotics. If your child experiences mood, digestive, or skin reactions to a probiotic, cut back. Try to work up to twenty billion CFUs per day. Stubborn cases might need more than that, however, you should consult with a practitioner first.
Increase dietary fat and decrease protein. Fat tends to lubricate whereas protein tends to bind. Coconut oil is particularly helpful because it does not require bile to be digested like most fats do. Those who are constipated can sometimes lack bile. Olive oil and flax oil can also be helpful, though start by increasing coconut oil.
If your child is constipated, meaning they do not have a least one good bowel movement every day, their body is under stress. As chemicals get recirculated and irritation increases, mood, focus, sleep and learning can suffer and food sensitivities can develop as the immune system in the gut is activated.
Relieving constipation will free up energy so that your child's body can function its best.

Q: How to use id_prefix with OpenSSL s_server I'm not sure what argument do I have to pass to switch -id_prefix for openssl s_server.
What I am trying to do is to run openssl s_server on one side, and openssl s_client on the other, and verify that Session-ID and Master-Key matches on both sides.
The problem is, that I only get to see the Session-ID and Master-Key on the client side. I'm not sure how to obtain them on the server side as well, so I can compare them.
id_prefix seems to be one option, but I don't see the prefix in the Session-ID on the client side.
Any ideas?

A: I can see how you can check the Master-Key using openssl s_server and openssl s_client, but not the Session-ID; I'm not sure why.
Here's what I did.  First, I started a server running locally:
$ openssl s_server -accept 4433 -cert ./server.pem -tls1_2

Then, in a different terminal/window, I connected to that server:
$ openssl s_client -connect 127.0.0.1:4433 -debug

In the server terminal, I saw the SSL session started:
Using default temp DH parameters
ACCEPT
-----BEGIN SSL SESSION PARAMETERS-----
MFUCAQECAgMDBALAMAQABDDAOWXb47pESLXfWW1DYfaccOPGQcfgeaHW4sFP/avj

-----END SSL SESSION PARAMETERS-----
...
CIPHER is ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
Secure Renegotiation IS supported

The key thing thing to notice here is that base64-encoded data for the SSL session parameters.  I copy and pasted that data into a separate file, e.g. sess.pem.
Then, I used openssl sess_id to decode that sess.pem file:
$ openssl sess_id -noout -text < ./sess.pem

So I'm not sure why the server output doesn't show the session ID generated, but you can at least use the above to compare the Master-Key values.  I experimented with using both the -context and -id_prefix command-line options for openssl s_server, e.g.:
$ openssl s_server -accept 4433 -context FOO -id_prefix BAR ...

but it did not substantially change the data, nor did it cause the Session-ID to be displayed by openssl s_server.
Hope this helps!

BATMAN VS. SUPERMAN Shoots This Weekend in Los Angeles
By Xsisted on October 16, 2013@fizx
This upcoming weekend Warner Bros. and director Zack Snyder have organized a film shoot for the highly anticipated Batman Vs. Superman in Los Angeles at the East Los Angeles College campus.
Here's the information about the shoot that comes from the Campus News.
Warner Bros. Pictures new untitled Superman/Batman project comes to film at East Los Angeles College Weingart stadium during halftime of the Oct. 19 Husky football game.
Zack Snyder, who directed films such as this past summer's blockbuster Man of Steel, and other movies like300, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch, directs the upcoming film.
ELAC and Victor Valley College will kickoff the game at 6:30 p.m. At halftime, the stadium will transform into Gotham City University home stadium.
Warner Bros. Pictures announced through a press release that Snyder and producers of the film are looking for people in the Los Angeles area, preferably ELAC students, to be extras for the upcoming film.
The stadium will be made into the backdrop for a football game between Gotham City University and rival Metropolis State University.
The first 2,000 people who sit in the filming area of the stadium will receive T-shirts designed by Snyder for those participating in the filming and prizes will be raffled throughout the night.
The crowd will sport Gotham Citys colors, black and gold.
The film will shoot three takes of three plays during halftime. The crew will be capturing the actors and crowd's reactions.
ELAC's College event and Venue Coordinator, Ernest Burnett, said that the filming will be about 20 minutes during halftime. The second half of ELAC's game will follow the film shoot.
Snyder decided to use ELAC's stadium to support ELAC and the community.
"They could have done this on a night when we didn't have a home game. They wanted to support the school," Burnett said.
ELAC has approached the feature film industry to gain revenue for the college. Features films want to use ELAC because it's a film friendly school.
"Our visibility among the film community is higher than a lot of schools and I have to give a lot of credit. The experiences of the people that have come and shot here are very good. Because students know the deal now, like they notice the production truck and then move on to class, it's more common," Burnett said.
"Feature films don't usually use community college campuses, because feature films' schedules change and we can't accommodate. But we want their business because they come for weeks not just a day. We want to make a lot of money over a small smaller amount of time," Burnett said.
"It's also a big opportunity for us (ELAC), and to cheer on our Huskies. Victor Valley is not a bad team," Burnett said.
If you end up going there do submit the photos with us !

Interview with Fulvio Testa
literarykids:
Interview on November 11 2012 at the Waldorf Astoria NYC
Introduction to "Pinocchio" by Umberto Eco, "…it's not even a fairy tale, since it lacks the fairy tale's indifference to everyday reality and doesn't limit itself to one simple basic moral, but rather deals with many."
On Veteran's Day a couple weeks ago, the internationally acclaimed children's book illustrator Fulvio Testa sat down with me over tea in the Peacock Bar at the Waldorf Astoria to talk about his ground-breaking work for Geoffrey Bock's new translation of Carlo Collodi's Pinocchio. The wide-ranging conversation inevitably led to a discussion of his artistic philosophy regarding children's book illustration in general, and how he can't get New York out of his mind.
Focus and Rhythm
For this project, Testa told me how he created a special storyboard that allowed him to keep constant track of the visual and literary levels he was trying to maintain. During the process, he constantly asked himself, "How can I get readers to understand the story simply by creating an image? There are two ways that I might create an image, either one image with two stories, or one large edited image." To choose the right scenes for Pinocchio, Testa outlined places where he felt the images would best compliment the text, and read the book repeatedly in order to completely grasp the flow of action. Perhaps equally important to the actual artwork itself, he added, is the pacing and the precise location of where an image is placed in a printed book. "There are fifty-two images in this book, and they are relatively close together. I try to create a rhythm to the illustrations," meaning that each picture represents a pivotal moment in the story, and in Pinocchio most chapters either end or begin with an illustration. The flowing imagery allows the reader to maintain a steady pace, while creating pauses in the storyline and breaking the text into manageable parts.
Action and movement
At first glance the art for Pinocchio appears lighthearted and buoyant, however Testa's work is in reality quite dynamic. To show where the action lies in what appears to be a passive image, Testa pointed to an illustration in the book. In it, Pinocchio stands at Geppetto's worktable and argues with the Cricket. "Some images are deceptive. They look approachable and friendly, but an older reader will see some of the darker aspects at work here. Look at the table. Pinocchio's hand is very close to the mallet, which he will pick up shortly and throw at the Cricket, killing him. This is a triangle of violence here." This is not simply a picture of a quarrel, but a violent avant scène, and yet is still an image that is appropriate for children. "Children need action to convey a story of experience through repetition," which may be why, in Pinocchio,Testa has filled the pages with the scurrilous puppet in all manner of situations, from skipping school to facing a fearsome serpent. Testa also believes that in order to be successful at his craft, a part of him must retain a childlike understanding and appreciation for the world. "To illustrate, an illustrator needs to have a part of himself that hasn't grown up yet," Testa explained. "I have to be willing to re-experience pain, rejection, joy, and other emotions, as if for the first time."
Just as parents once used Pinocchio as a way to teach social and moral values, fables are equally important today in constructing a moral compass for children. Testa illustrated an edition of Aesop's Fables, and finds their universal qualities a captivating way to educate young minds. "Through these stories there is a possibility to acquire a social sensibility." He views his illustrations as an educational tool because they show how to deal with society from a children's point of view, which is often more effective than an adult telling a child what is right and what is wrong. There is historical precedent to this approach going back to the nineteenth century, when < em>Pinocchio was first published. Before there was mandatory schooling, children's books were crucial teaching tools. Carlo Collodi originally published Pinocchio in installments and he initially intended to end the book with the death of the unfortunate puppet. Indeed, the illustration that closes chapter fifteen shows Pinocchio strung up and hanging from a large oak tree. The puppet survives the hanging, and continues on his adventures.
Early Biography
Born in 1947 in Verona, Italy, Fulvio Testa grew up believing he would become an architect. In 1968 he went to Florence, where he enrolled as an architecture student. Testa began traveling extensively throughout Europe in 1970.
Eventually Testa met Štěpán Zavřel, a Czechoslovakian refugee and children's book illustrator who in 1959 had escaped communism and fled to Italy. Zavrel became Testa's mentor and advised him to illustrate children's books. Testa took his advice and discovered that he had a gift for creating images that speak directly to children. In 1971 Testa presented his first work, illustrations for H.C. Andersen's The Nightingale to a Japanese publisher. The publisher rejected it only because the illustrations were in black ink. The book was published three years later – with colored illustrations. "I have cultivated my reputation [as a children's book illustrator] since the beginning," he said. In 1982 he began working with Dial Press, then branched out to other publishing houses. Since the 1970's Testa has illustrated dozens of books and authored many of his own.
Since 1981 Testa has divided his time between New York City and Verona in six-month intervals. The winter months are spent in his Uptown studio where he works on watercolors and etchings. His time in Italy is devoted to oil painting. "Watercolors require resolute design perspective," he said, and like many artists, he finds the rhythm of the city to be an excellent inspiration no matter what the subject matter. Oil paintings, like the suite of landscapes he showed recently at the Jill Newhouse Gallery in Manhattan, demand a distinctive focus. "Oil is a different medium. It requires a longer drying process." Sometimes Testa has ten oils in process simultaneously. Although he paints his dreamy abstract oils in Verona, Testa believes he would never be able to create them if he didn't live in New York and absorb firsthand the vibrancy of the city that never sleeps.

MIDNIGHT. Text copyright © 2014 by Mark Greenwood. Illustrations copyright © 2014 by Frané Lessac. Reproduced by permission of the publisher, Candlewick Press, Somerville, MA on behalf of Walker Books
Midnight: A True Story of Loyalty in World War I, by Mark Greenwood, illustrated by Frané Lessac; Candlewick Press, $16.99, 32 pages, ages 8 and up.
On Halloween Night in 1905, a horse was born on a cattle ranch in New South Wales, Australia. Twelve years later to the day, that horse, appropriately named Midnight, would participate in the Charge at Beersheba, one of the last great cavalry charges in military history, which resulted in the victory that led to the eventual collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Here, award-winning author Mark Greenwood (The Legend of Moondyne Joe; The Greatest Liar on Earth) goes back to his Australian roots by sharing the story of this remarkable mare and her brave owner, Guy Haydon. Greenwood deftly traces the course of Midnight's life as it changes course from cow horse to member of the Australian Light Horse Brigade, and does such a masterful job of it. This is a story of bravery and sacrifice, and it will bring tears to all who read it. (This is not suitable for bedtime; in addition to its somber tone, the tale will incite discussion and an immediate desire to learn more.) Illustrator Frané Lessac traveled to Be'er Sheva in Israel with Greenwood in order to see firsthand where Guy and Midnight participated in the charge. The trip bore fruit: pigment-saturated gouache illustrations capture the desert sands and blood-red skies of battle. Complete with detailed endnotes and photographs of the real Guy and Midnight, this is a perfect example of history leaping off the pages and into readers' lives. (Walker Books, Midnight's Austrailian publisher, put together a wonderful teacher's guide, which would also be useful for Americans who may be less familiar with this particular part of WWI history.)

Coalition, privatisation
(not satire – it's the UK today)
Time was – not that long ago – when firefighters were considered to be heroes.
Now – in miserable coalition Britain – they're mostly just ignored (although not in Scotland).
That's probably because firefighters have been loudly speaking out against the coalition government's cuts to public services, and the UK press – not to mention the political establishment which kowtows to it – doesn't like it.
That's why you won't have heard much in the press about firefighters striking today in England and Wales.
And why you won't have heard much in the press about firefighters having their pensions stolen from them.
Or the government's threats to sack long-serving firefighters if they get too old for front-line duty.
Or the ongoing massive redundancies of front-line firefighters.
Or the ongoing closures of fire stations.
Or London's fire engines being sold off to an Old-Etonian for 2 quid.
Here's an excellent video explaining why firefighters are on strike today:
Why are firefighters on strike?
So what's the real reason Boris Johnson broke his promise not to cut London's fire services?
Boris Johnson to close 3 fire stations that sent engines to the Apollo Theatre
Typical Tory logic: money for water to use against protesters but not to put out fires
London's fire engines are now owned by one man – an old Etonian
Emergency services called to major pants fire in DWP
ATOS declare Richard III fit for work
ATOS to reduce 'fit for work' test to one question: "Are you alive?"

Tom – This isn't satire, but that's a GOOD thing, and once again I agree with your principled journalism… even if you refuse to accept that it IS journalism.This could become a habit!
My only criticism is that you said "..in miserable coalition Britain.." It's NOT a dispute across Britain. You should have pointed out that it's only firefighters in England and Wales who are striking. You need to get to grips with what's devolved and what isn't. Most of the politicians and media can't see outside south-east England, but you don't have to follow suit!
FinkFurst – good point. I've added a link.
…and a well chosen link too! Having lived in both South-East England, and now in central Scotland, I see a big difference in the general respect accorded to the emergency services. The same feeling came from the reports about the helicopter crash in Glasgow, and many other incidents.
Mervyn Hyde (@mjh0421) said:
People do not understand that when the government tells them that the country is broke and we can't afford our public services they are lying to us.
This little video explains exactly why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bXpOUYrr1c&feature=kp
Although this is an American video as they explain we are in exactly the same position they are in, We are not Greece who are in the Euro, we have exactly the same economic conditions as the USA.
We have the money but the politicians are corrupt.

Deaths by fires in london have gone up since closing and cutting down the fire stations.
do not know why they go on about smoke and fire alarms and stupid lobbies being built when fire engines cannot respond, Fire stations being closed in Hastings. But then they do not care about police response and levels, or health, NHS A&E maternity unitsor lifeboat/coastguard units so do not know why I am surprised.
Tom Pride is on fire today! And there's no way to cool him down because firefighters have been on strike.
Bdummmmm-tish!
He's here all week, folks!

Reblogged this on The Greater Fool.
The public still considers firefighters to be heroes. The majority of politicians, on the other hand, are surely considered to be self serving, greedy, duplicitous, lying, immoral scumbags, simply out for their personal and financial advancement
Thanks Tom.

Q: Edit and update excel from PowerShell I have a script that download a specific xlsx file from SharePoint online to a local folder.
I am searching for colors and values in the sheet in a specific column. There are 2 objects. One for values and one for colors. I need to edit the sheet: replace the colors with string and remove the color background and the same for the second.
Next I need to save it and upload to SharePoint online.
Anyone can help me with that?
Here the object that holds the colors and values.
$excel2 = "C:\Temp\SharedFolder\test.xlsx"
    $excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
    $Excel.Visible = $false
    $Excel.DisplayAlerts = $False # Disable comfirmation prompts
    $workbook  = $excel.Workbooks.Open($excel2)
    $worksheet = $workbook.Worksheets.Item("VIP List")

    $patches = for ($row = 1; $row -le $rowMax; $row++) {
        $val = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, [uint16]$answer).Interior.ColorIndex # 2 is column B
        if ($val -eq $searchcolorForPatch)  {
            # output an object with both values from columns A and B
            [PsCustomObject]@{Patch = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 1).Value2}
        }
    }
    $cabs = for ($row = 1; $row -le $rowMax; $row++) {
        $val2 = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, [uint16]$answer).value2 # 2 is column B
        if ($val2 -match $searchValue)  {
            # output an object with both values from columns A and B
            [PsCustomObject]@{Patch = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 1).Value2}
        }
    }

I tried to add this and change to color 3
 $patches = for ($row = 1; $row -le $rowMax; $row++) {
        $val = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 4).Interior.ColorIndex # 2 is column B
        if ($val -eq 14)  {
            # output an object with both values from columns A and B
            [PsCustomObject]@{Patch = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 1).Value2
            ($worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 4).Interior.ColorIndex) = '3'
            }
        }
    }
    $workbook.SaveAs($excel2)
    $workbook.Close($false)
    $excel.Quit()

I think this can work but I need to change the color and set a string inside
Currently only the color was changed
$patches = for ($row = 1; $row -le $rowMax; $row++) {
    $val = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 4).Interior.ColorIndex # 2 is column B
    if ($val -eq 14)  {
        # output an object with both values from columns A and B
        [PsCustomObject]@{Patch = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 4).Interior.ColorIndex = '3'
        }
    }
}

Need to change the color to -4142 and write inside a string

Case 2:
Need to find all the cells with color 4 (green) and has a string 'add' inside. currently know to collect only by color code

A: Ok, this is too long for a comment, so here goes:
If you have opened your Excel you can search for the cells with a certain background color, AND change the cells value like this:
# as example, we look for Green background, for more colors, see https://analysistabs.com/excel-vba/colorindex/
$colorToSearch = 4
for ($row = 1; $row -le $rowMax; $row++) {
    $color = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 2).Interior.ColorIndex # 2 is column B where to look for the background color
    $value = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 2).Value2
    if ($color -eq $colorToSearch -and $value -eq 'add' )  {
        # remove the background color from that cell
        $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 2).Interior.ColorIndex = -4142   # constant: xlColorIndexNone
        # now update the same cell's content
        $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 2) = 'New Value to add to this cell'
    }
}

# save the file with a new name ?
$workbook.SaveAs($excel2)  # remember to put a complete, absolute path and filename here
$workbook.Close($false)

# or save using the same name, so just save the changes in it
# $workbook.Close($true)

# quit Excel
$excel.Quit()

# and remove the used COM objects from memory, otherwise they keep file locks to the file
$null = [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($worksheet)
$null = [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($workbook)
$null = [System.Runtime.Interopservices.Marshal]::ReleaseComObject($excel)
[System.GC]::Collect()
[System.GC]::WaitForPendingFinalizers()

When it comes to uploading the file to SharePoint, please have a look at the code here

From your comments.
If you only want to find green cells with the value 'add' in them and then collect the Patch numbers from column 1 in the same row, do this:
# as example, we look for Green background, for more colors, see https://analysistabs.com/excel-vba/colorindex/
$colorToSearch = 4   # green
$valueToSearch = 'add'
$patches = for ($row = 1; $row -le $rowMax; $row++) {
    # get the background color and value of the cell in column 4
    $color = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 4).Interior.ColorIndex # # 2 is column where to look for the background color
    $value = $value = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 4).Value2
    if ($color -eq $colorToSearch -and $value -eq $valueToSearch )  {
        # just output the patch number from column 1
        # that means that variable $patches will become an array of strings
        $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 1).Value2

        # or if you rather have that, output an object that has both
        # the row number and the Patch number in it
        # [PsCustomObject]@{
            # Row   = $row
            # Patch = $worksheet.Cells.Item($row, 1).Value2
        # }
    }
}

Gabriel Rucker
Why he won Because he's talented and bold enough to play with classic dishes that might include esoteric animal parts, like tongues and feet, or an entire field's worth of vegetables.
Born Napa, CA; 1981.
Experience Paley's Place and Gotham Bldg Tavern, Portland, OR.
How he got into cooking "I went to Santa Rosa Junior College; on my first day, I found out what my math class requirements were. My counselor suggested I try cooking instead. I started a two-year culinary program there, but I dropped out after a year. I wanted to get into the kitchen and work. My parents would have killed me if I'd left sooner."
What he learned from making desserts "When I was 19, I got a job at a place called Southern Exposure Bistro in Santa Cruz, CA. The chef said I was going to do desserts and salads and I had to deal with it. The first day I taught myself to make crème brûlée. It turned out well. I made a lot of mistakes, too, but I learned from them. That's why I like when my cooks make mistakes now."
Most memorable cooking experience "One Sunday at Gotham Tavern Bldg, everyone called in sick, so my buddy Travis and I, we did everything. We just got slammed and did 190 covers, and it was like the best night in the world. We drank a lot of whiskey after that."
All-important kitchen lesson The power of a lemon squeeze. "My best friend, chef Tommy Habetz, taught me that: the power of acid."
His age when he opened Le Pigeon 25.
How it got its name "My favorite tattoo is of a bunch of pigeons flying around with le pigeon written in cursive—I didn't want a stupid chef tattoo with a flaming knife."
Biggest influence "My sous-chef, Eric Vanklay. It's pretty much just me and him. We stand together for 70 hours a week and talk about food."
What keeps him going His open kitchen. "I constantly get to watch people enjoy what we make for them. Eight customers sit right there and ask me questions while I'm cooking."
Favorite kitchen tools A fish spatula and a two-pronged meat fork. "You can use the fish spatula to flip anything in a pan, or get under anything on the grill. I'm not sure what the fork is really called—I call it the prong doohickey. Those two are my favorites."
Ingredient obsession Tongue. "I love any tongue. I've had them all on my menu; right now I have pig tongue with apple barbecue sauce."
Most exotic item on his menu "My menu always has some adventurous stuff. Blood pudding with the duck breast, or chicken-fried pigeon."
Favorite childhood dish "I used to make spaghetti sauce. One of my chores was to make dinner once a week. My parents had a cheesy '70s California wine country cookbook with a tomato paste sauce with brandy or sherry in it. That's not the kind of sauce my parents enjoyed eating and it wasn't that good, but at the time, it was the best thing in the world."
Favorite cheap eat A Thai street food place in Portland called Pok Pok. "It's not a pad thai place. When it opened, Pok Pok was just a shack; now they've opened up an underground lounge place."
Pet peeve People who take themselves too seriously. "If people aren't having fun when they're cooking food, then I don't want to work with them. My motto—that I tell my cooks—is, 'If you have fun making the food, people can taste that.'"
Favorite guilty pleasure In-N-Out burgers. "I actually flew back from California with 20 In-N-Out cheeseburgers sitting on my lap. I ended up eating seven cheeseburgers that day."
Favorite thing about Portland How accepting the people are of the food he cooks. "I don't have to worry about whether customers will eat something. If we ask ourselves, 'Are people going to eat this?' it always sells."
Favorite customer "One guy has been coming since day one. He'd been in 30 times by the time we were nine months old."
Food trend he most dislikes Overproduced food. "When you pay a lot of money for smoke and mirrors."
Favorite cooking show The Great Chefs series. "I watched it as a kid. That's one of the reasons I got into cooking; whenever I was homesick, I'd watch it because it was always on and I didn't have cable."
What he'd be if he weren't a chef "Probably a gas station attendant. I wasn't on a very good track before I started cooking."
Advice to future cooks Pay attention to everything that's going on around you. "Stay focused but always be looking at what other people are doing. At my first job, I was just doing salad and banquets, but I asked a lot of questions. I learned how to make hollandaise and risotto because I was actually interested."

What Does Sheldon Adelson Hate More: VGTs Or Online Gambling In PA?

What Does Sheldon Adelson Hate More: Video Gaming Terminals Or Online Gambling In PA?
2 Are VGTs easier to stop than online gambling?
Sheldon Adelson is trying to use his deep pockets to scuttle gaming measures he doesn't like in Pennsylvania.
The PA House of Representatives passed a gaming package last week that includes two proposals vehemently opposed by Adelson, the chairman of Las Vegas Sands: online gambling and video gaming termimals.
Unfortunately for Adelson, the state is in dire need of revenue. The legislature seemingly needs to pass at least one of these proposals to help slow an ever-increasing budget deficit.
Based on new lobbying efforts, VGTs seem to be the more valuable target.
Ever since the issue first landed on his radar in 2013, Adelson has waged a veritable one-man war against online gambling. He isn't its only opponent, but he's by far the most vocal and influential.
Waged a public campaign to paint online gambling in a negative light.
But now, based on where his attention appears to be focused, the casino magnate has found something he dislikes even more than online gambling: VGTs.
With Pennsylvania's legislature now considering the authorization of VGTs at qualified bars, restaurants, truck stops, and off-track betting parlors, Adelson is turning his attention and his money (reportedly $1 million) toward that issue.
Are VGTs easier to stop than online gambling?
Whereas the debate over online gambling legalization in Pennsylvania isn't a matter of "if" but "how," VGTs are a far more contentious issue.
The VGT package was hotly debated in the House before it passed by a vote of 102-89. It's believed to have even less support in the Senate.
If Adelson is reading the writing on the wall, the smart play is to focus his time and resources on stopping what he can stop.
The casino industry in Pennsylvania is almost unanimously opposed to VGTs.
The only casino on the record as being in favor of VGTs is Penn National, which not surprisingly owns a VGT distribution company that supplies some 1,500 machines to bars in Illinois. Rush Street Gaming also has a vested interest in VGTs but hasn't publicly come out in favor of VGT authorization in Pennsylvania.
Adelson and Las Vegas Sands stand at the front of the opposition group.
Similar to his ties with the Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling, Adelson is believed to be behind the Pennsylvanians for Responsible Government, the group leading the fight against VGTs in the state.
Even before VGTs were included in the House's gaming proposal, the group began running ads against them.
Will any of Adelson's efforts bear fruit, and can he stop gaming expansion on two fronts? It seems like a tall order, but not impossible.

1. Schedule activities that keep you moving. Depending on where you're going, make a point to do something active most days of your vacation. This can be anything from a walk to hiking to biking to something even more physically demanding if the opportunity arises. Take advantage of new surroundings and explore what options they have to help keep you moving! Before you go take some time to poke around and find out what's available where you're headed.
2. Accept that this is a time to enjoy food, time, and company. How many of us actually stick to our usual routine while we're on vacation? I know I certainly don't. It's ok to slack a little on your hour-long HIIT workouts (unless you want to do them anyways); it's ok to have a couple of treats or eat some maybe not-so-healthy foods while you're away. Enjoy your surroundings and don't forgo certain activities or meals because you're still trying to stick to your workout plan and "diet".
3. With that being said, be prepared to hop back into it full force when you return. Rest is beneficial for both your mental health and your body's recuperation. As long as you've been fairly active throughout your vacation, get ready to jump right back into it when you get back home. That first day might be a little rough, but your body will bounce back. Those first couple days are also a good time to aim for lots of fruits and vegetables and other sources of nutrient-dense foods to get everything back on track.
4. Keep to reasonable portion sizes when eating out at restaurants. Eating out while on vacation is the usual trend. Lots of food to try when you're exploring new places, or eating at local favorites if you've got a usual vacation spot. Enjoy the food, but definitely keep portion sizes in mind as you eat. Ask for doggy bags and take things back to wherever you're staying if you can. If not, opt for lunch portions instead of dinner portions. Or, be prepared to eat only half of your plate.
5. Commit to healthy snacking and eating some fruits and vegetables every day. Packing healthy, portable snacks wherever you go will not only save you from spending money on whatever you might see while out and about, but it will also save calories. Plus, this would be an opportunity to get in fruits and vegetables if you haven't yet!
With these tips you can set yourself up for success, enjoy your vacation and not worry about any aftermath! Most importantly, don't forget to take the time to be present and take in where you are, who you're with, and relish in the moments of taking a break from the everyday.
Question of the week: what's your dream vacation?

Arkansas Church Claims Jesus Was First To Die From Coronavirus '2000 Years Ago'
By Tyler MacDonald
Apr. 3 2020, Updated 5:32 p.m. ET
On Wednesday, Awaken Church in Jonesboro, Arkansas, posted a Facebook message that outlined its intention to continue holding church service amid the coronavirus pandemic, Raw Story reported. In the post, the church claimed that Jesus Christ was the first person to die from COVID-19.
"The first death of Covid 19 actually happened 2000 years ago," the post reads. "The Bible tells us that Jesus took on every sin, sickness and every disease…Jesus bore it so you wouldn't have to. Salvation provided forgiveness and healing…if you'll believe it, you can receive it!"
In a previous update, the church claimed it would follow recommendations provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) but said that shutting down services would be a violation of their "extremely strong convictions" relating to God's power to protect and heal.
"Jesus knew the world He was sending us into contained sickness and disease. Instead of telling us to retreat from sickness, He told us to go into the world and to heal the sick."
Speaking to Newsweek, Chad Gonzales, a lead pastor at Awaken Church, expressed his belief that churches play an important role in difficult times like the coronavirus pandemic. He claimed that the world shouldn't turn to the government for a "source of hope" but turn to the church for "hope and healing and the calm."
Per THV11, the defiance of Awaken Church comes not longer after Pastor Mark Palenske of Greers Ferry First Assembly, his wife, and dozens in his congregation reportedly tested positive for coronavirus.
In a Facebook post announcing the infections — which came after the church continued to hold in-person services amid the pandemic — Palenske warned that the "intensity" of the coronavirus is being underestimated by many and urged people to take it "very seriously."
This is 90-year old Bill Barton. He was one of the first to die in #Arkansas from #Covid19. He was a beloved church greeter at Greers Ferry First Assembly of God church. This is from the church's FB page: "We lost a dear brother ..to this dreaded virus. Our hearts are broken.." pic.twitter.com/ktranusryt
— Dawn Scott (@dawnerscott) March 26, 2020
Although Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson has banned gatherings of 10 or more people, Awaken Church noted that this order did not include religious congregations. As The Inquisitr previously reported, churches across the country are closing amid bans of large gatherings. While some are taking advantage of online avenues to continue providing service, many will likely have to shut their doors for good due to the outbreak.
As of Thursday, there are 624 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Arkansas, and 10 people have died from the disease caused by the coronavirus. As noted by Raw Story, Arkansas is one of five states in America without an active stay-at-home order in any of its regions. In the South, it is the only state without such an order.

Academic publication on the Armenian Community of Syria
Lilit Harutyunyan (left) and Araks Pashayan (right) during a trip to Egypt
Azad-Hye
The Institute of Oriental Studies of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia and the Ministry of Diaspora have co-sponsored the publication of an academic research entitled: "The Armenian Community of Syria: Actual Issues", co-authored by Arabist scholars Araks Pashayan and Lilit Harutyunyan.
The study which comes in medium-sized 150 pages has four main parts: historical background; the Armenian Community under the rule of Al Assads; Interviews with Armenian personalities and Conclusions & Recommendations.
After reviewing the history of the community and analyzing the current challenges, especially under the influence of the ongoing political developments in Syria, scholars Araks Pashayan and Lilit Harutyunyan have come up with a series of conclusions and recommendations.
– The Armenians in Syria are involved in the social, cultural and economic life of the country and consider Syria as their country.
– The community is highly organized. Each organization or union has its branches in all the places where Armenians reside in Syria.
– The number of Armenians in Syria is estimated between 60 to 80 thousands. They are mostly adherents of the Armenian Apostolic faith with considerable number of Armenian Catholics and Evangelists.
– The prevailing administrative mechanisms in the community are effective but traditional. The community needs to achieve generational change.
– Unlike the Cold War period (and mainly in the 1950s) the current situation of the Armenian community is characterized with cohesiveness and minimum disputes amongst the Armenians. The case of the Diocese of Damascus remains unresolved, but it is not affecting on the positive relations between community members and entities.
– Preserving the Armenian identity, speaking in Armenian and nurturing relations with Armenia continue to be on the top on the agenda. Syrian Armenians enjoy relative freedom in discussing and dealing with subjects related to the Armenian Genocide and Armenian Cause. The fluctuations in the Turkish-Syrian relations had affected the course of such freedoms.
– The efforts of preserving Armenian identity have faced certain difficulties in recent times. The worldwide state of globalization, mixed marriages, decreased number of marriages, unfavorable demographical changes, broader use of Arabic language, most recent political and social developments in the region all have strongly affected these efforts. The most imminent challenge is the increased number of Armenians leaving Syria (immigration).
– Almost all families have relatives abroad. Many young Syrians go abroad for study and never return back. There is increased trend amongst the Syrian Armenians for seeking job opportunities in the Gulf countries.
– The current crisis in Syria can create an increasing cause for concern not as a result of any possible transition of power, but rather due to the deterioration of the socio-economic parameters, thus causing immigration of many Armenians.
Pashayan and Hartutyunyan make the following recommendations:
– Armenia can have a great role in modernizing the national educational system in the Armenian schools in Syria through various technological applications. This can be done through teacher preparation and educational methodology courses, publication of school books with new curriculum etc. The previous experience during Soviet times could be useful here.
– Online and distance learning systems should be developed in Western Armenian. Internet resources should be developed in Western Armenian. Such projects could enhance the national identity preservation attempts in Syria especially in the ranks of young people who are computer users.
– Armenia could serve as a field of activity for Syrian Armenian organizations through summer camps, events, conferences, seminars, contests, etc.
– Meetings and discussions of scientific nature between Middle East Armenian experts and their counterparts in Armenia help in enhancing mutual understanding of issues related to the Middle East communities and the Diaspora-Armenia relations.
– TV channels in Armenia are recommended to shed more light on Middle East Armenian communities. This can create a spirit of recognition and sympathy between Armenia and the communities in nearby countries.
– The Armenian government is required to ease regulations on Armenian expatriated population by alleviating or easing taxation on emigrants for a certain period of time.
– By running stable and balanced policy in the region, Armenia can assist the Armenians in understanding and analyzing the current developments. However, the real support is only possible when Armenia achieves both political and economic power.
List of interviewed personalities:
– Dr. Arshak Poladian, Ambassador of Armenia in Syria.
– Bishop Armash Nalbandian, Primate of the Armenian Diocese of Damascus.
– Sarkis Keshishian, active member of the Armenian Catholic Community in Damascus.
– Reverend Datev Basmajian, Pastor of the Armenian Evangelical Church in Damascus during the period 2005-2010.
– Vazken Hagopian, member of AGBU, Chairman of Armenian Youth Association Damascus.
– Representative of Homenetmen (Armenian General Union of Body Culture).
– Nazareth Elmajian, Committee member of "Sarkis Dekhrouni" Students' Union of the Homenmen (Armenian Sports Union).
– Dr. George Parseghian, member of the AGBU, ADLP and Tekeyan Cultural Association.
– Dr. Nora Arissian, member of Arab Writers' Union.
– Dr. Hagop Tcholakian, instructor of Armenian language and philology in Karen Jeppe Armenian College in Aleppo.
– Mihran Minasian, intellectual based in Aleppo.
– Harout Ekmanian, lawyer and freelance journalist.
– Hrach Kalsahakian, member of Arab Writers' Union, founder of Azad-Hye Middle East Armenian website.
– Professor Ara Sanjian, Director of the Armenian Research Center at the University of Michigan-Dearborn.

That poor rabbit, punished with keeping those eggs and having to give them up for adoption. What ever happened to a bunnys right to choose?
Easter bunny? Pppffft! He only comes once a year to dispense goodies if you've been well behaved, and pose for pictures with you but only at the mall and if you pay him. He's white and male and straight.
Obama, on the other hand, gives me free goodies every day of the year no matter how badly I've behaved, and he'll pose for a selfie anywhere with anyone! He's black and...well, he's black.
I noticed the lack of the military at this WH event, which one would have thought would have been necessary to maintain order during such a redistribution. Is this because the military is infested with Christian Dominionists? Also, watching these carefree kids frolicing about on the WH lawn makes me wonder about the less fortunate Tea Party kids undergoing brain washing in those Jesus Camps?

Very appropriate comrade R.O.C.K. The wooden spoon is as you know a prize awarded for last place. For the LIV the miserable result of their squandered votes should be enough, but young minds need to be taught that myopia apathy and mediocrity yields failed expectations every time but are rewarded with generous handouts by the symbolic spoonful.


"Guileless natural beauty" or "doe-eyed" are perhaps the images that come to mind when we think of deer. And so it came as a surprise when scientists at Texas' Forensic Anthropology Research Facility (FARF) stumbled across images of a deer gnawing on a human rib. It was the first known evidence of a deer scavenging human bones, according to a study published in the Journal of Forensic Sciences last week. Although deer are herbivorous and usually subsist on plants, they have been known to munch on nonhuman bones during winter, possibly to obtain minerals absent in their diet, scientists say. Researchers at FARF were studying how different scavengers left their marks on human remains. Such studies help investigators figure out things like how long a person had been dead. In July 2014, they set up motion-sensitive cameras near a body to see which animals showed up. On January 5 next year, a white-tailed deer was seen munching on a rib bone. A week later, another deer was seen chewing on rib bone, reports Popular Science. Researchers noted that ungulates or hoofed mammals tended to seek out dry bones of long-dead animals. Their gnawing left distinctly different forked patterns on bones unlike other scavengers. Identifying the ungulates teeth marks on bones could prove useful in murder investigations in regions where deer are plentiful.

An inconsequentially tiny fire erupted on the set of the forthcoming Kevin Hart / Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson film entitled Central Intelligence early Thursday morning, prompting local fire officials to briefly shut down production. As they are but human, both Hart and Johnson swiftly took to Instagram to thank the wrong fire department (Hart) and ruin the other's attempt at a video (Johnson).
After shootin' a great 14hr day of action, the Fire Department shuts down our production (legit) due to a potential fire.. and now I gotta deal with @kevinhart4real's mouth screwin' up my video to y'all with his bad language. Truth is we're having the greatest time on this movie and it feels like we're making something iconic and special. Can't wait for y'all to see it... #WatchYourMouth #OrIWillSlapTheShitOuttaYou #KevinHartGetsAngry #RockStartsLaughing #CentralIntelligence SUMMER 2016.
Obviously scripted Instagram confrontations aside, The Rock and Kevin Hart will keep the peace long enough to properly launch Central Intelligence on June 17, 2016.

Kraft Heinz drops Unilever takeover bid
By Howard Mustoe Business reporter
Kraft Heinz has abandoned its offer to buy Unilever, its Anglo-Dutch rival.
The Marmite maker rejected the US food giant's bid on Friday, saying it saw "no merit, either financial or strategic" in Kraft's offer, worth about $143bn (£115bn).
"Unilever and Kraft Heinz hold each other in high regard," the companies said in a joint statement.
Shares in Unilever, which closed 13% higher on Friday, fell 7.3% in lunchtime trading in London to £35.18.
Kraft's offer had been at an 18% premium to Unilever's closing share price on Thursday. Kraft shares rose 11% on Wall Street on Friday.
George Salmon, a Hargreaves Lansdown analyst, said shelving the deal just one business day after it was announced came as a surprise.
"It was always going to be a difficult pitch to convince shareholders to relinquish their grip on Unilever, given the expectations for the company to keep churning out resilient growth in the years to come," he said.
The deal would have been one of the biggest in corporate history, combining dozens of household names.
Unilever owns Ben & Jerry's ice cream, Dove soap, and Hellmann's mayonnaise, while Kraft's range includes Philadelphia cheese and Heinz baked beans.
"It would appear that Kraft Heinz have underestimated both the intrinsic value of Unilever and the challenge of acquiring control of a Dutch company whose stakeholders would have opposed such a move vociferously," said Martin Deboo, a Jefferies International analyst.
More than half of the company's shares are in the Dutch-listed entity, he told the BBC.
'Friendly basis'
Michael Mullen, a Kraft Heinz spokesman, said its interest was made public at an extremely early stage.
"Our intention was to proceed on a friendly basis, but it was made clear Unilever did not wish to pursue a transaction. It is best to step away early so both companies can focus on their own independent plans to generate value," he said.
Reports suggested that Prime Minister Theresa May had asked officials to examine the deal before it was scrapped.
However, her spokesman said on Monday that Downing Street was not involved in Kraft's decision to withdraw the offer.
The takeover of Cadbury by Kraft in 2010 was controversial enough to prompt a revamp of the rules governing how foreign firms buy UK companies.
Just a week after promising to keep open Cadbury's Somerdale factory, near Bristol, Kraft backtracked and said it would close the plant.
The Takeover Panel reviewed the laws and, in September 2011, strengthened the hand of target companies, and demanded more information from bidders about their intentions after the purchase, particularly on areas such as job cuts.
In July last year, shortly after becoming prime minister, Mrs May promised to have a "proper industrial strategy" that could be used to block takeovers.
By Joe Lynam, BBC business correspondent
Kraft Heinz is jointly controlled by billionaire investor Warren Buffett and Brazilian private equity group 3G. The latter has a deserved reputation for taking a scythe to costs - irrespective of how that might impact jobs and factories.
Unilever, on the other hand, has a reputation for doing the right thing in terms of corporate social responsibility and the environment - even if that eats into the bottom line.
I understand that Kraft Heinz was shocked with the vehemence with which its "friendly" merger offer was rebuffed.
The bosses of both consumer giants spoke over the weekend and it was clear that if Kraft really wanted Unilever it would have to launch a hostile takeover bid that could have ended up being very expensive.
The higher the price, the less worthwhile the deal. So the bid was withdrawn within 55 hours of it being announced.
Unilever clashed with UK supermarket Tesco in October over its attempts to raise prices to compensate for the steep drop in the value of the pound.
The consumer goods giant has over a dozen sites across the UK, including three major plants in Liverpool, Norwich and Gloucester.
If the deal had proceeded, it would be the second biggest ever, behind Vodafone's $183bn takeover of Germany's Mannesmann in 2000, according to Dealogic.

Five-time Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter, Antony "Tony" Williams has become one of the most heard voices in today's musical landscape. He has written, sung and performed with JAY-Z, Nas, The Game, Rick Ross, and most notably, his first cousin, Kanye West. He's been by West's side at the recording console from inception to end for every one of his solo albums as a vocalist, writer and / or arranger. Williams has toured internationally with West on every major tour and has been a part of G.O.O.D Music since 2004.
In 2012 Williams' debut album, "King or The Fool – An Opera: Volume I", marked his official introduction as a solo artist. Volume I is packed with all star features including vocals from John Legend, Raheem DeVaughn, and Stokely Williams from Mint Condition; as well as production from No I.D., Bink!, Hit Boy and Kanye West.
"To Gain The World: King or The Fool, Volume II" was recorded while Williams was helping Kanye West to create "The Life of Pablo". He is also credited as a writer for the song, "Waves" featuring Kid Cudi and Chris Brown. Volume II is "the essence of pure soul", in his words which "encompasses the blues, funk, rock –and-roll, jazz and gospel. All of those genres grew from soul".
A selfless innovator, he promises consistency while still aiming to reinvent himself with every record.
