Yanks and Mexican Friendly
United States 2 Mexico 2
I can see the Mexican fans complaining about how the United States scored their first goal. The bigger Americans can only score off a long throw-in, they might say—a set piece. The big man, Onyewu, stepped up and chucked the ball nearly to the far post. The ball was tipped to Landon, and although smartly, he sent a high ball back into the box. But the big man (he's 6-foot-4) can jump as well as throw, and he leaped over the defender and nodded the ball perfectly into the far post, skimming off the bar. The Americans were getting out played and this goal was sorely needed.
But the Mexicans too scored from a pair of set pieces, despite the fact that they had most of the run and play. The game popped with pace, the Mexican players darting in and out of the Americans at times, on to be fouled, and this finally caught up with the U.S., as they conceded a pair of goals.
Dos Santos, what a joy he is to watch. He has great speed and seems to glide along with the ball at his feet, giving and getting just when he has to, as he escapes defenders, they can keep up with him and in a way don't really mean to foul him but do since they can't get out of the way. They're just a step behind.
Most of the talk for the U.S. should be about Jozy and Adu, Freddy Adu that is. Jozy scored a wonderful header and Adu doesn't lack the confidence to take players on, nor does Jozy, skills that I don't think players should have drilled out of them. Sure, at this highest level you have to get rid of the ball quickly for the most part, but when the chance presents itself then you have to go for it. Defenders hate when you try to take them on. Nobody likes to get beat.
The U.S. midfield wasn't in sync, and Landon didn't see enough of the ball. Feilhaber brings calm to the pitch and might work better with Bradley. Clark has a ton of fight and might be molded into a player who fits in at some point. He had a moment where he surged forward. You could see how he's dangerous.
Dempsey shined at times, where he held the ball up and or turned and sent a few balls over the top to Jozy. I guess he was offside before he received the ball when his nice goal was disallowed.
I'd like to see Eddie Robinson in the mix. I think he's a player that can fit in long term for the U.S. in the back.
It's a weeding out process, and with more games like these you see who can fit in and who won't. Mexico's problem is they have a ton of young, fast and skilled. They will be a force in the coming years. I still remember what was probably one of the best games in the 2006 World Cup, Argentina versus Mexico, hope to see more like that one.
When the game ended, I did like how it looked like Jozy may have apologized for tripping Rafa Marquez earlier in the game. The two shared a laugh and a smile. I think Jozy, a big kid, has class as well as a bright future as they like to say. Rafa's a wise old player now who plays for one of the best clubs in the world, why not show some respect.
Update – here's what Jozy said he said to Rafa Marquez over at his NY Times Blog:
After the game I went over to Marquez and told him that I watch him play every week because Barcelona is one of my favorite teams. I really don't remember if he said anything, I don't know if he speaks much English. He kind of laughed and said O.K. I think he understood me though, I mean, he's played around the world and much understand some kind of English.

Kildare native Erik Vaughan and Donegal man Thompson St. Bridget make up Vaughan & St. Bridget, an Alt. Country/Folk two piece based in Dublin. Having formed in late 2010, the pair have managed to build an impressive fan base, following successful gigs in some of Dublin's most respected venues; The Village, The Twisted Pepper and The Shebeen Chic. Channeling the sounds of Townes Van Zant, The Band and The Pogues, the pair have achieved a uniquely Irish sound, that, for a two piece, is deceptively robust. Next for the boys is an appearance at the Festival D'Orfest in the South of France. If that's too much of an auld trek, catch the lads every Monday night in the Shebeen Chic, just off Dame Lane.

Attorney who has helped farmers through four farm crisis during his career says this one if "the worse" he's ever seen.
Swanson and his partner John Menn spoke to a packed roomful of farmers, ag suppliers and bankers during a March 14 session at the annual business conference in Madison organized by the Professional Dairy Producers of Wisconsin.
A partner in the law practice, Steinhilber Swanson, with offices in Madison and Oshkosh, Swanson is also a State Court Receiver in liquidation proceedings supervised by Circuit Court judges and has served as a panel trustee for the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin since 1982.
For farmers who are now facing feelings of helplessness because their milk prices have tumbled, making it hard for them to plan or look ahead, he advised getting ideas from resources that may be free to farmers. He recommended the financial advisors at the Farm Center in the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection. They can be reached at 800-942-2474 and offer help to farmers for free.
"The dedicated people there are devoted to saving family farms or if it's hopeless, then they want to make sure the farmer falls softly," Swanson said.
Often banks are being "screwed down" by federal regulators, Swanson said, despite the fact that "the farm economy did not create the Great Recession." There are a lot of small community banks that lend to a lot of farmers that have regulators "breathing down their necks," he said.
Many small town banks have been bought up by a larger entity that doesn't like to carry farm loans. So the agricultural portfolio is expendable. "These banks don't have as much leeway as they used to," Swanson added.
Swanson noted that many of the people who come to his firm for help wait too long. "Don't be proud. Being in financial straits isn't fun, but if you're smart you'll get some advice.
"Get in sooner rather than later to get advice from tax professionals or attorneys," he added. Waiting too long can limit options and put the whole enterprise under a cloud of desperation.
Menn adds that these days many farmers may be getting pressure from their bankers to liquidate their operations, but farmers need to get good advice first. If liquidating their assets is the best solution, it has to be done the right way to avoid pitfalls like huge tax liabilities. Farms that were bought for a small dollar per acre and now sell for thousands will trigger large capital gains taxes and farmers need to get advice from tax professionals, lawyers or others on ways to handle that.
Farmers who file for Chapter 12 bankruptcy protection – a special chapter of federal bankruptcy law that was instituted in the 1980s for family farmers and fishermen – can help mitigate those kinds of taxes, Swanson added.
The state of Wisconsin is divided up into eastern and western districts for bankruptcy matters and according to Swanson the western district of Wisconsin, with cases heard in a Madison courtroom, has the highest caseload of Chapter 12 bankruptcies of anywhere in the country.
The attorneys said that getting a second set of eyes on the farm's books can be the key to helping a farm survive. "Gaining incrementally on efficiencies and improving the farm's razor-thin margins may be enough for the farm to get by," Swanson said.
When debts mount, pressure builds to all parties who are owed money by a farmer. "They smell blood in the water and want to start picking up the machinery," Swanson said.
The various chapters of bankruptcy protection in many cases will be a way to pay people back, including the banker, in a way that buys some time. "A nervous banker is like a woman of ill repute in church – they're both uncomfortable," Swanson joked.
One option the lawyers discuss with clients includes Chapter 12, for family farmers who have a lower amount of debt. But it is by no means the only option. Another may be talking to various creditors and getting them to back off.
Chapter 7 is the cheapest way to discharge debt and get a fresh start. Chapter 13 can be used to get back on track and Chapter 11 is the most expensive way to seek bankruptcy protection. But farms with larger debts may need to use that chapter.
Under Chapter 12, the terms of secured debt can be modified. "Sometimes bankers just don't get it and you have to send them a message," Swanson said.
Even after the Chapter 12 proceeding has gone through, Swanson said he advises people to continue to have some steers or chickens or other livestock – as a link to their former farming operation but also as a way to show that they are still farming.
Quite often the attorneys and their clients find that unsecured creditors are pleased with a bankruptcy proceeding because they know they will get paid over six or seven years rather than the alternative of liquidation, where they might get nothing, Swanson said.
Before going into any kind of bankruptcy procedure, Swanson said some pre-planning is important and includes outlining any property liens and mortgages. Menn adds that through the bankruptcy process many farmers are able to reorganize, achieve better efficiencies and work out the best plan for them.
They encouraged farmers to talk to professional farm advisors to get good numbers that can be used in the bankruptcy process. "It doesn't pay to go into an expensive process with bad numbers," Swanson said.

DEON ERVANS, Wakefield-Marenisco and Gogebic Community College graduate of the cosmetology program, is delaying taking state board exams so he can get a new car. Ervans looks forward to cutting hair.
WAKEFIELD - Deon Ervans knew at least three years ago he wanted to go into cosmetology. Back then as a junior at the Wakefield-Marenisco school, he wanted to study at the Paul Mitchell school in Escanaba.
In comparing Gogebic Community College's program and the Paul Mitchell program, Ervans decided to stay local, as GCC had a higher success rate and cost less.


Most people prefer to work close to home, and with many considering truck driving to be an "away from" career, they tend ignore it as an option. The majority of truck drivers are actually local drivers, not long distance drivers. Long distance truck drivers transport goods from city to city, state to state, and sometimes, country to country. However, it's the local drivers that often finish the journey, transporting goods from warehouses to shops and businesses.
Local truck drivers are also involved in a range of other activities; for example, driving dump trucks. This is one job that is vital to the construction industry, either carting dirt and stone in, or carting it away from construction areas. Local truck drivers are also required for work such as waste removal from both domestic and commercial premises. Local drivers may also be involved in short haul work from town to town, always still getting home each night for dinner.
What is common to all of these options is the requirement for truck driver training and a commercial drivers license. Whilst it is possible to gain a commercial drivers without truck driver training, it is difficult, and employers do prefer to see that training component in a resume. In particular, employers want to see truck driver training that has been delivered through a recognized and well respected truck driver training business.
This is where Diesel Truck Driver Training School becomes a valuable resource. We can deliver truck driver training that is well respected within the trucking community, often helping complete novices pass their truck driver tests, receiving their commercial drivers licenses, then acquiring their first job as a truck driver. Our Career Services division will work with students to help them find that first job and take their first step to a career as a local truck driver (or long distance if they prefer).

Imagine you're working two part-time jobs to support your family, just barely making ends meet. Then, your car breaks down…or you have an unexpected medical emergency that leaves you drowning in debt. Now you have a choice: pay your bill or feed your family. In Vermillion, this is an everyday occurrence. With a poverty rate of over 35%, and a food insecurity rate that is nearly double that of our neighboring counties (17%), financial insecurity is commonplace.
United Way of Vermillion and our partner organizations work hard every day to provide a hand up to those that are struggling to get by. The Vermillion Food Pantry provides around 50-70 pounds of fresh produce, meat, bread, dairy, and non-perishable foods to families at each monthly visit. The Welcome Table ensures families receive a warm, home-cooked meal every Monday night. The Weekend Backpack Program sends hundreds of kids home from school with enough food to make sure they can eat over the weekend. The Salvation Army gives emergency assistance to families that are facing a utility shut-off or struggling to get to a medical appointment. And the United Way partners with these and other programs all across the community to ensure that families have basic needs met, get help in times of crisis, and increase stability.
While our independent organizations provide much-needed services, our ever-increasing clientele shows us that we can do better. Over the past several years, we have been developing partnerships between our organizations like never before, starting with United Way of Vermillion's Clay County Poverty Task Force, which brought together stakeholders to discuss how we could better address this pressing issue in our community. We've transferred excess food and supplies to each other, joined together to put on massive food giveaways that have fed thousands of people, and realized the inefficiencies of directing families across town from one service to another. As our alliance has deepened, we've realized the solution.
We envision a Community Connection Center will be a place where those in need can receive assistance, moving from crisis to stability, and ultimately, self-sufficiency. The Center will serve as a one-stop-shop for multiple services, including, but not limited to, United Way of Vermillion, the Vermillion Food Pantry, the Weekend Backpack Program, The Welcome Table, and Salvation Army.
Vermillion's history is full of people who have left incredible legacies – ordinary folks who have championed important projects, and given their time, talent, and treasure to meet the needs of the community. Through their generous estate gift to United Way of Vermillion, Verne and Bonnie Anderson chose to create such legacy. The gift already allowed United Way to bring the 211 helpline to Clay County in 2017, and now will support the creation of a vital community resource – The Community Connection Center.
Bonnie Anderson
Verne Anderson
Bonnie and Verne Anderson were longtime fixtures in the Vermillion community, active members of Trinity Lutheran Church, Vermillion High School alumni, and avid pilots. The two were married in 1952. Verne farmed on his family's land, and was known for his unique sense of humor and as a nationally-ranked trap shooter. Bonnie served as assistant to six University of South Dakota presidents. Her dynamic personality and indispensable value to USD led Gov. Janklow to name June 24, 1986 as Bonnie Haines Anderson Day. Bonnie passed away in 2011, followed by Verne in 2016. Through their estate, the Andersons remembered multiple community organizations, including United Way of Vermillion, the W.H. Over Museum, the University of South Dakota Foundation, and the Vermillion Public Library.
We believe that every family should have access to the essentials of life and the support necessary to become self-sufficient. We believe our one-stop-shop model of support is the best way to 1) address the myriad of needs that accompany poverty in our community, and 2) increase the effectiveness of and efficiency between our organizations.
HOW IT WILL WORK
When a family arrives at the Community Connection Center they will be greeted with warmth and dignity. They will be guided to the service that they need, and now, instead of receiving only one form of community assistance, we will be able to direct them to any other resources that could help, just down the hall!
Our organizations will be in a better place to collaborate on big-picture ways to address the poverty in our community. We can not only focus on taking care of the line, but on shortening it. And we can eliminate duplicated services, saving the time of our volunteers and the funding of our donors. It's a win-win.
We see a place where we will not only offer our basic services, but expand over time to include health screenings, dental cleanings, cooking classes, financial literacy training, and much more. As we involve more and more partners across the community, this will become a reality. Will you join us?
We have always known the immense support of our community. Our organizations have survived for decades only because of the generosity of people like you. Now, we are asking for your help in becoming even more effective. Whether you prefer to give with anonymity or desire naming rights, please consider the exceptional return on investment that we offer our community. You will immediately feel the satisfaction of giving your neighbors a hand up to a life of self-sufficiency and the great sense of accomplishment that you have helped a vital community organization.

Hello all. I had already posted a while back regarding which mower to buy, a Honda HRX or Timemaster. I had pretty much made up my mind on the HRX as I am not too confident of the transmission durability of the Timemaster. I then got onto the trail of the old Toro Commercial 21 which is sadly no longer available. As the grass starts to get green I am now in a big hurry to get a new push mower and I have just pitted the new 2019 HRX against the Toro Super Recycler, specifically the 20382 with the Honda engine. Certainly not an apples to apples comparison, but I want the Honda engine and the ability to side discharge if I please. If anyone has any experience with or owns the 20382 that can share their experiences I would greatly appreciate it. Even better if said users have used both the 20382 and the HRX to provide some pros and cons. Thank you all in advance.
I have included a picture of the back yard; not looking too bad!
Might want to take a look at this thread. It might answer some of your questions. I put in a bad link, will try posting again.
Go to the Toro/Wheelhorse forum and find a thread about Toro differences. It might be of some help. I can't get a link to work properly.
4) There is a significant amount of drag when pulling back on the mower. I did not believe others who had stated this as my old one did not but the new one did. In fact, all models of Honda mowers including the HRR lineup had significant drag when pulling backwards.
1) The mower certainly rolls a lot easier in forward and when pulling back.
2) The front wheel adjusters definitely stick up very far. While I am not concerned about them catching on anything in my yard, they are an eyesore.
3) The Personal Pace system looks nice, but it just seems so un-natural to me. The Lawn Care Nut talks about how personal pace is more "leisurely" in which it very well could be, but considering the fact that I would be mowing a large piece of land, I am okay with the self propelled pulling me along.
4) The Toro does appear to have a nice setup for the discharge and mulch options. I like that the plug, although not as convenient as the selector on the Honda, it is positioned and then locked. Also, the side chute cover locks in place as well.
5) It appears as if the wheels on the Toro do not use bearings and instead use bushings. Not a huge deal, but long term I see this being an issue for me with as much as I could be using it.
6) While I gravitate towards the Toro mostly for the cut quality and the ability to side discharge, I see that there is a separate bagging blade that they offer. I would assume that if I was to side discharge I would want that blade on as well. So in order to get the best of all three mowing options, I will still have to change the blade here and there.
So, I feel as if I am in no better position now to buy than I was yesterday as I hope to make my purchase and stick with it for some time. At this moment the Toro is about $80 cheaper than the Honda considering the sale and some financing offers through my Toro card. I could have taken 10% off of the HRX today through the Home Depot but couldn't make up my mind which would have certainly closed that gap off.
Just got my Toro Super Recycler!

Lets face it, if you have a family, you probably go through a lot of laundry detergent. Just like everything else in this economy, laundry detergent has gone up. I started seeing where other mommies were out there making their own laundry detergent, so I decided to give it a try.
My sister in law tried the liquid recipe that was in the Duggar's book, The Duggars: 20 and Counting! and encouraged me to try a batch. She explained that this would last much longer and the cost was basically the same. I felt it was worth giving it a try. After mixing it up, I was very pleased with how easy this was. There were a few extra steps involved, and waiting over night to use the detergent, but well worth the wait!
Grate the soap into a small saucepan. Cover with hot water. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring continually, until the soap completely dissolves.
Put washing soda and borax in a 5-gallon bucket. Pour in the hot, melted soap mixture. Stir well, until all the powder is dissolved. Fill the bucket to the top with more hot tap water. Stir, cover securely, and let set overnight. The next morning, stir the mixture. (When you remove the lid, it's going to look funny. The top will have a gel. Just stir it up real good and all will be well!) Mix equal amounts of soap concentrate and water in a container. (I use an old one gallon vinegar bottle and a funnel. I fill this half way then fill the rest the water.) Shake well before using.
Use 1 cup of soap mixture per load.
**Ask Home Depot/Lowes for a paint stirring stick for a 5-gallon bucket. They will give you one for free. That's what I used to stir the detergent. Again, another good tip from my SIL, Missy!
I made this batch up right after Christmas and I just ran out of my 2 gallon bottle that I mixed up. There is still PLENTY in my 5 gallon bucket! This will last awhile. I say the hardest part about making this is finding the washing soda in my area. My kind SIL was kind enough to bring me some from the Atlanta area where she was able to find it in her Publix store. Please let me know where you find the washing soda in your area so we can pass the information along to others that are having a hard time finding it as well.
Washing soda (and Fels Naptha soap) were found at the Lebanon Kroger and the Franklin Kroger.

Sutphin Playground
This text is part of Parks' Historical Signs Project and can be found posted within the park.
Sutphin Playground, located within Baisley Pond Park, is named for Sutphin Boulevard, one of the streets that bounds it. Baisley Pond was created in the 18th century when local farmers dammed three streams in order to power their grain mill. The pond and park are named for David Baisley, a local farmer who owned this land in the early 19th century and operated the mill that was located on the pond. Observing the drastic need for clean water in Manhattan, Brooklyn sought additional water sources and the Brooklyn Water Works acquired Baisley Pond for its water supply in 1852. In 1898, the City of Brooklyn voted to become a part of New York City in the consolidation of the five boroughs, partly because of the diminishing water quantity and quality in Brooklyn.
While dredging the bottom of Baisley Pond shortly after its acquisition, Brooklyn city workers made a startling discovery. Found buried in the sediment were the remains of an American Mastodon (Mammut Americanum), including five molars and a bone fragment. The Jamaica area is situated on stratified drift that was laid down during the last ice age; the Mastadon likely lived here after the retreat of the ice from Long Island approximately 10,000 years ago. Today, a sculpture of a mastodon in Sutphin Playground commemorates the discovery and makes for a unique playmate.
In 1914, the City of New York transferred the northern half of the Baisley Pond site to Parks, and it opened to the public in 1919. At the time, Queens was still a predominantly rural area and the park remained a rustic preserve. In the 1920s the neighborhood was urbanized as developers built hundreds of single-family homes in the neighborhood.
During the Great Depression, Parks Commissioner Robert Moses (1888-1981) and the Works Progress Administration constructed recreational facilities in the park, including a boat landing, several playgrounds, tennis and handball courts, baseball diamonds, and a football field. Development of the area continued and intensified after World War II, with the construction of the Cedar Manor Co-Op, Baisley Park Houses, and Baisley Garden. When Idlewild Airport (later John F. Kennedy International Airport) opened just south of here, commercial activity in the area increased tremendously.
The South Extension of Baisley Pond Park lay in a state of disarray for decades. Not entirely under the jurisdiction of Parks until the 1960s, it remained a wasteland of old pumping stations and debris. In 1984, Commissioner Stern, with the help of the local community, was able to transform this area and unify the park. The newly reconstructed area now includes more tennis and handball courts, a track, an athletic field, cricket mounds, basketball courts, as well as this playground.
Although the park is used mostly for recreational sports, it remains a vital natural habitat for many species of plant and animal life. Besides its fabled gigantic lily pads, the pond contains red-eared sliders, snapping turtles, musk turtles, and bullfrogs. Also thriving here are eight different varieties of dragonfly and a spectacular display of avian life. In the winter, Canadian geese, mallards, ducks, shovelers, coots, grebes, and gulls make their home here. In the summer, blackbirds, cormorants, herons, egrets, doves, mockingbirds, robins, starlings, warblers, cardinals, and sparrows forage and breed in the area.
Sutphin Playground underwent an $859,000 capital renovation, completed in 1997, that included the addition of the giant mastodon sculpture. Also included in the playground are play equipment and safety surfacing, a yardarm in the center of an inlaid compass, a sitting area, a spray shower, one basketball court, swing sets, and a drinking fountain.

Those of you who are Pasadena locals know that we've been having quite a time with the upcoming Rose Parade—specifically, the China-sponsored float (courtesy of Avery-Dennison) touting the 2008 Olympic Games. Members of Falun Gong have encouraged city officials and the Tournament of Roses to nix the float. They've spoken eloquently of torture, abuse, murder and cover-ups perpetrated by Chinese officials.
China promised to clean up its human rights act in exchange for the honor of hosting the Olympics, but there is little evidence that any significant improvements have been made. We visited China for ten days on business a few years ago, and Mr. Lee (not his real name) was our translator. He emphasized (quietly, but persistently) that he would like to be able to travel outside China, to visit the US, but his country does not give him that freedom. Considering that even non-dissidents are not allowed to travel outside of the country without government permission—well, I think it's pretty clear that communism is alive and well in China.
The report of the City of Pasadena's Human Rights Commission is here. The length of the document reflects the complexity of the issue.
My opinion: There are people in my community who have had personal experience with China's supression and torture. Regardless of how I feel about the Olympics or the "this-parade-has-been-brought-to-you-by" parade of corporate floats, just the simple testimony of these people is enough for me to say: Dump the float.
Because one thing is for sure: leaving the float in the parade isn't going to change a damn thing. Rejecting the float lets China know that *we* know that they haven't cleaned up their act. It's a big act too; human rights, religious freedom, health and safety rights for workers, and environmental degredation (not that we're stellar in that area either). I'd say they've pretty much got a full court press going in the wrong direction. But we like them 'cause we get lots of cheap stuff from them. Oh yeah, and cheap workers too. Cheap workers who make cheap stuff (inexpensive, that is, I think they're getting quality under control).
Earlier this year, I blathered about China, Chinese workers, and New Orleans' Mardi Gras celebration after seeing a wonderful documentary entitled Mardi Gras: Made in China.

I so admire you for what you are doing here. You are making the effort to bring change to the world. You are bringing change. How can anyone read what you say and not be changed inside. Mans inhumanity to man is beyond belief.
You are doing a good job, please keep it up.

Galaxy Note 10 Release Date, Price, News And Rumors
by Brad on March 29, 2019
The Samsung Galaxy Note series is arguably one of the best phone series on the market, offering power users a solution that they haven't otherwise had. The Galaxy Note series provides users with a larger screen than Samsung's "Plus" smartphones, and then there's also a stylus included in it, which adds a whole host of other features to the smartphone. Galaxy Note devices even have something that they call "multi-wind0w" support, which allows you to have two apps open at the same time, as well as allowing you to quickly and easily operate through both.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 pretty much had all of these things; however, being the best and most critically acclaimed phone on the market, the rumor mill is already in full circulation — folks are extremely looking forward to the successor, what is rumored to be the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.
So if you're wondering what this next big smartphone is going to be all about, read on and find out!
Galaxy Note 10 Design & Display
The Samsung Galaxy Note 9 didn't launch too long ago, so rumors surrounding the Galaxy Note 10 are fairly slim; however, we do have some generally ideas about its design and display functionality. However, there are still at least a couple of rumors to go off of.
The latest rumor actually comes by way of the Korean website ET News. The website actually has some pretty bold claims in their latest rumor — Samsung could actually be looking to remove all physical buttons off of the phone — the physical power, volume, and Bixby buttons. Instead, the rumors claims that they would use pressure-sensitive capacitive buttons instead.
We're not exactly sure what the plan is here from Samsung, but they might be looking at adopting something like the Pixel 2's squeeze gestures. That said, take this rumor with a grain of salt, but this would be a fairly huge move with a big mainstream manufacturer doing something as daring as this.
There are some other rumors circulating around the Samsung Galaxy Note 10's screen size specifically. Some news coming from iGeekphone.com indicates that the Galaxy Note 10 will have an even larger display than the Galaxy Note 9 — this next phone is actually supposed to feature a behemoth of a 6.66-inch display.
Despite that coming across as a pretty large screen, the phone shouldn't be too much bigger than it already is. With an edge-to-edge design, there should be no bezels whatsoever. That said, the phone should remain the same size, but you'll just have more screen space instead of bezels taking up that space. It's also worth noting that, in comparison, it's really not much bigger than the iPhone XS Max and its 6.5-inch display, though it's a huge upgrade over the Galaxy Note 9's 6.4-inch screen.
One thing's for certain: this display is going to look absolutely beautiful. Since there are no bezels anymore, the Galaxy Note 10 should look extremely immersive, making it the perfect choice for watching movies and videos.
What's really going to be interesting is how Samsung will handle the other functions of the phone. With an all-screen design, it's certainly going to make the phone a little more fragile, and it's also going to be intriguing to figure out how buttons are going to be handled in this flagship. On top of that, Samsung's R&D department has been hard at work on how to put things like the fingerprint sensor, camera, and other functions under the display itself.
We don't know if we'll see that in this iteration, but with an all-screen design this time around, it's certainly an interesting possibility that could very well happen. We'll likely know more as we get closer to the launch date.
Galaxy Note 10 Hardware
Samsung's Galaxy Note 10, as per the norm, will likely have the latest and greatest hardware. The Galaxy Note 9 features either Samsung's own chipset or runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845. That said, since Qualcomm announced the successor to the 845 in December — the 855 — we wouldn't be surprised to see the Galaxy Note 10 offered in at least two models — one with Samsung's new Exynos line up, as well as one with the Snapdragon 855.
We're expecting the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 to be offered in at least two RAM types as well — either 6GB or 8GB. Storage sizes should be pretty much the same as well — the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 should be available in options of 64GB, 128GB, 256GB and possibly even in 512GB, just like the iPhone XS Max.
We haven't heard details on a battery yet, but we'll likely see something even larger than what's in the Galaxy Note 9. The Galaxy Note 10 should have an all-screen design, better camera (more on this later), and more demanding hardware, and as such, we should see a larger battery to accommodate that extra drain. Additionally, Samsung might be putting a little more in to get users even longer battery life.
And naturally, there should be Qi wireless charging with it. We're not sure if Samsung plans to launch another wireless Fast Charge pad this time around, though.
Galaxy Note 10 Camera
We're still in the early stages of rumors, but there's a lot we're expecting to see out of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10's camera. The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G comes equipped with four camera lenses, so we're expecting the Galaxy Note 10 to essentially follow that same path.
We're not quite sure what a quad camera lens setup would look like, or even what that would mean for camera and video quality, but as you can imagine, it'd probably be pretty amazing. Unfortunately, outside of a number, we don't know a whole lot else about what the camera will entail.
However, as far as the front-facing selfie camera goes, Samsung might get rid of that altogether. A recent patent filing is actually showing that Samsung wants to remove its selfie camera off of the front of the display. The patent actually shows that Samsung would instead place it inside of the S-Pen. Insane, right?
Well, it gets even crazier. Samsung actually wants to fit an optical zoom inside of the S-Pen. Optical zoom needs physical room to operate, and it looks like Samsung would be able to make that possible with the S-Pen and S-Pen slot. While this might sound crazy, if you think about it, this kind of goes along with the rumors of Samsung trying to work out an all-screen design, and without any things like camera blemishes.
After all "the S Pen is the signature feature of the Note series – it's how users have made their mark, and how Samsung has expanded the notion of what a smartphone can do. What began as a tool for writing and drawing is now putting more power and control in their hands," Samsung says. Expanding that functionality like this would put more "power and control" in the users' hands, and could potentially make it easier to take things like selfies.
Of course, remember that these are all just rumors — Samsung and other big companies file for patents all of the time, and don't necessarily act upon them. The idea can be quickly thrown out, depending on what Samsung's development team says, and what happens within Research & Development.
Galaxy Note 10 Release Date
There aren't any specific rumors on a release date for the smartphone, but Samsung tends to stick with what they've done for past launches. For example, the Galaxy S series almost always launches at Mobile World Congress in February, and the Note series has always launched at the end of summer.
That said, it's not too far-fetched to think that we could see the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 around September or even October time of this year. Samsung doesn't usually announce the Galaxy Note 10 at a big conference, but instead hosts its own "Unpacked" event somewhere like New York City. After the initial announcement, Samsung has always launched the phone around two to three weeks after, giving folks time to get their pre-orders in and to measure demand.
That said, an announcement will likely happen in either September or October, but expect an official launch near the end of either of those months. Or, if Samsung is to follow along with the Galaxy Note 9, we could see a launch as early as August, which would get the phone into more hands quicker!
Expect to see some sweet pre-order deals for the Galaxy Note 10, though. We haven't seen product deal rumors yet, but Samsung is planning to watch its Galaxy Watch 2 alongside the Galaxy Note 10, which could not only bring you some sweet connectivity between the two devices, but possibly even get you a Galaxy Watch 2 at a discounted rate, if you buy a Note 10.
Galaxy Note 10 Price
Price is going to be pretty interesting. While we haven't seen any official rumors regarding it, we wouldn't be surprised to see a huge price increase this year if the all-screen rumors end up being true. The Galaxy Note 9's launch price was $1000, and the upgraded version of it — with 6GB of RAM — started at $1249.
That said, with the screen size increase that we're hearing about, as well as that all-screen design, we could very well see a price increase that's more around the iPhone XS Max — $1100 for a base model, $1249 for a mid-range model, and $1500 for the topped out hardware.
We're just speculating here, but we don't think we're too far off there, at least as far as the staggering phone prices are going.
Will it have 5G?
All of the major network carriers are hard at work on moving their 4G LTE networks to 5G networks, giving their customers faster speeds, more reliable connectivity, and better connectivity while indoors and in big, concrete buildings. That said, the question everyone is asking this year is if this or that phone will have 5G connectivity.
So, will the Galaxy Note 5 have 5G connectivity? Early rumors indicate that the phone is going to be equipped with a 5G-enabled chipset or SoC. In fact, XDA Developers obtained a document that showed that the Galaxy Note 10 has a configuration settings for 5G technology.
However, what we're not sure is whether Samsung will launch a couple of Galaxy Note 10 models — one with the standard 4G LTE connectivity, and another with 5G connectivity. After all, that's exactly what Samsung is doing with the Galaxy S10.
5G connectivity is still kind of a mixed bear though. Carriers aren't yet ready to release their 5G networks, as many of them are running into obstacles, simply because they just can't roll them out nearly as fast as they want to. That said, while 5G phones will be here like the Galaxy Note 10, folks might not be getting actual 5G network speeds for at least a year or two now.
And even with many carriers saying they're working on 5G networks, they're only working on them for certain blocks and areas, whereas, say, T-Mobile is working on a 5G rollout for everyone. All of that to say, 5G is a little ways out from now, and because of the lack of carrier support, we may not even see Samsung turn on 5G in their Galaxy Note 10.
One of Samsung's hallmark devices has been the Gear VR. The Gear VR allows you to put your phone into the headset, and then you can enter the world of virtual reality, watching all sorts of 360-degree videos, playing VR-based games, and more. Samsung seems to have put its VR on the back burner for the past couple of years, but there are rumors circulating that it could make a comeback this time around.
There's very few rumors talking about it, but we might actually see a wireless Gear VR headset, similar to, say, the Mirage Solo. The Mirage Solo is nice because you don't have to insert your phone inside — you just connect it up via an app, put the headset on, and are instantly thrown into the world of virtual reality. That said, we might see Samsung do something with this next!
As you can see, even in the early stages, there's a lot of different rumors based around the Galaxy Note 10. It's going to be one of the hottest phones of the year, right up there with other mainstream devices we're looking forward to from companies like LG, HTC, and even Google.
Are you looking forward to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10? Sound off in the comments section below — we'd love to hear from you and see what you'd like to see in Samsung's next biggest phone.

Caribou City Councilors unanimously agreed to renew an operating permit for Safe Alternatives, a medical marijuana dispensary, following a public hearing on Oct. 9.
CARIBOU, Maine — Caribou City Councilors unanimously agreed to renew an operating permit for Safe Alternatives, a medical marijuana dispensary, following a public hearing on Oct. 9.
City officials found that there were no known violations of local zoning or land use ordinances, no unreasonable disturbances to nearby businesses or residents, no repeated instances of disorderly conduct, vandalism, or breaches of the peace, and no violations of state law.
The public hearing lasted only two minutes, during which City Clerk Jayne Farrin reiterated the city's positive findings, adding that the fire chief, police chief, and code enforcement officer "have no issues" with the facility.
Leo Trudel, executive director of Safe Alternatives, expressed appreciation during the public hearing.
The councilors unanimously voted in favor of renewing the permit, which was set to expire on Nov. 20.
While city officials are OK with the medical marijuana facility, they previously have voted against allowing retail recreational marijuana in the city.
During Safe Alternatives' grand opening last year, Trudel, who teaches business courses at UMFK, discussed the pros and cons associated with recreational marijuana. He said that growing recreational marijuana would require distributors to "maximize profitability" by focusing on cheaper strains, in turn dedicating less time on strains with a medical benefit, causing them to literally "die on the vine." At the same time, he said that recreational marijuana sales could potentially subsidize the medical side of the operation.
Maine became the eighth state to legalize recreational marijuana for adults age 21 and older in a 2016 referendum, but retail sales have not been allowed yet as state officials have struggled with how to implement the law.

UCSD Researchers Identify Potential New Drug Target for Chronic Leukemia
November 24, 2008 |
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) and the Moores UCSD Cancer Center have discovered what could be a novel drug target for an often difficult-to-treat form of leukemia. The investigators have identified a unique "signature" or pattern of a specific family of enzymes in patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), the most common form of adult leukemia.
Paul Insel, M.D., professor of pharmacology and medicine at the UC San Diego School of Medicine and his co-workers compared white blood cells in patients with CLL to those of healthy adults. They found that one form of the group of enzymes, collectively known as cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases, was 10 times higher in CLL patients than in normal individuals. The specific type of enzyme, phosphodiesterase 7B (PDE7B), controls the levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP), a molecule that can promote programmed cell death, a process that is defective in CLL. The team reports its findings this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Whereas most cancers have out-of-control cell growth, CLL is characterized by an overabundance of white blood cells that do not die when they should, Insel explained.
The scientists subsequently tested the effects of drugs that blocked PDE7B in CLL cells, and found that this raised cAMP levels and caused CLL cells to undergo cell death. He explained that since PDE7B degrades cAMP, blocking PDE7B in essence takes the clamp off of programmed cell death, enabling CLL cells to die.
"PDE7B is thus a new drug target for CLL," he said. "We have preliminary data from patient samples studied in the laboratory showing that we can increase the killing of CLL cells even more if we block PDE7B and also add other drugs used to treat CLL."
He noted that a test for PDE7B might also potentially be used as a way to detect CLL, though this has yet to be proven. CLL, which usually strikes adults over age 35, has two major forms. One form progresses slowly, with few symptoms for years, and can be difficult to detect. The other form is more aggressive and dangerous. No one knows what makes one form different from the other. Current therapies have limited effectiveness, especially once the disease is in its aggressive phase.
The researchers are planning to screen potential drugs to treat CLL based on the PDE7B-cAMP connection. They are also exploring other potential treatment strategies to increase cAMP or disrupt its breakdown.
"We think that CLL cells may have found ways to help keep themselves alive by preventing cAMP from increasing," Insel said. "This paper provides a validation of the importance of the cAMP pathway as a target for drugs that might be used to treat CLL."
The American Cancer Society estimates that, in 2008, there will be about 15,110 new cases of CLL in the United States. About 4,390 people in this country will die of CLL during 2008.
Other contributors to the work include Thomas Kipps, M.D., Ph.D., Lingzhi Zhang, Ph.D., Fiona Murray, Ph.D., Anja Zahno, Joan Kanter, Daisy Chou, Ryan Suda, Michael Fenlon, Laura Rassenti, Ph.D. and Howard Cottam, Ph.D.

Meeting and ministering together at Solomon's Porch
Asbury alumni Tim and Erin Gibson, took ownership of Solomon's Porch almost 14 years ago and set out to offer the community a place where all walks of life were encouraged and welcomed at their table.
Based on Acts 5:12, "The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people, and all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Porch," the shop is located at 111 E. Main St. in Wilmore, and open from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, with extended hours on Tuesday and Thursday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. They are closed on Sunday.
Although the couple is not originally from the Bluegrass, Erin said they felt a calling on their life to minister here.
"Tim is from Northfield, New Jersey and I am from Sewickley, Pennsylvania," Erin said. "We both came to Kentucky to attend Asbury College. After graduation, we searched for jobs and were able to move right back to the area after our wedding in 2002. Tim has a degree in Christian Ministries with a Youth Ministry emphasis and I have a degree in Sociology."
The couple met at Ichthus, a Christian music festival in Wilmore in 1999, while they were both students at Asbury University. They served together on a mission trip to northern Ireland with New Hope Ministries in 2001 and took ownership of Solomon's Porch in 2004 from Dr. Ben Witherington, an ATS professor and a world-renowned author.
"We dated throughout college and used to daydream about opening a coffee shop together," Erin said. "Solomon's Porch was an existing business in Wilmore when we took over in 2004. The original owner started it in 1996. The building was used as Fletcher's butcher shop for many years prior to becoming a restaurant. We have delicious food, friendly service and we as owners unabashedly love and serve God and His people with our entire lives."
Originally believing their ministry through the local coffee shop would be tailored to the university, seminary and local community, Erin said they soon realized their ministry stretched beyond and into the people they were soon employing. Employees were soon at their door who desperately needed employment. From single mothers, ex-cons, recovering addicts and troubled young youths, Solomon's Porch took part in the community by becoming a supportive environment for those in need.
"We have over the years been able to provide kitchen, cooking, baking and customer service training and experience jobs to dozens of people in need," Erin said. "We also sell arts and crafts from local vendors who in many cases use their proceeds to support local mission groups."
The couple serves as leaders to a group of middle school kids at Oasis Community Church in Nicholasville. Together they have a 10-year-old son, Braden, and an 18-year-old daughter, Felicity. Outside of their work at Solomon's Porch, the couple has set out to restore a 65-acre farm where they wish to continue their ministry.
"Since college, Tim has felt a calling to minister to troubled youth and adults in an agricultural setting," Erin said. "Using 'broken horses, for broken people,' this once abandoned farm and our four rescued horses and other farm animals will be used to mentor and train youth and adults how to live godly lives."
Together, the owners are passionate about good stewardship locally, environmentally and financially. Striving to have very little food and container waste, the shop recycles everything from cardboard boxes to the smallest order sheets and is 90 percent effective in its efforts. Veggie scraps from the food prep area are also used to feed animals on the couple's farm or eventually end up in their compost.
"We make smaller product orders more frequently so our food is always fresh and waste is minimal. We order as much local produce as possible throughout the year," Erin said. "We (also) would eventually love to be able to purchase our building and expand it to suit our current and future needs."
For the owners, their hope is that Solomon's Porch will continue to provide a comfortable space for people to continue to come and enjoy good food and fellowship. Their wish is that Solomon's Porch will continue to minister to not only the community and future employees, but allow them the opportunity to partner with local farms and mission organizations where they will be able to glorify God in their service.
"We also hope that our kids, Braden and Felicity, will want to be an active part of Solomon's Porch's future and maybe eventually take over the business here and at the farm," Erin said. "We are very excited about the new sign on the front of our building. We have an incredible staff right now, some of which have been with us for four to six years. We could not run this business without their hard work and dedication. We are truly blessed."

Q: How to add a "select all" value to a parametrized query in C# and MS SQL I have the following code:
As you can see, i need to pass a parameter to Field2, but i also need that parameter to be ablo to handle the ""all values" option, for example, if i assign "foo" to the parameter, the query will return every record where Field2 = "foo"... but i also want to be able to pass a wildcard, or something to tell that parameter to give all values as result.
MyDataset dataset = new MyDataset();
SqlConnection objConnection = new SqlConnection(_connectionstring);
SqlDataAdapter objDataAdapter = new SqlDataAdapter();
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand = new SqlCommand();
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Connection = objConnection;
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandText =
"SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM Table WHERE (Field2 = @Field2)";
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
objDataAdapter.SelectCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Field2", txtBoxField2.Text);
objDataAdapter.Fill(dataset.Table);
this.DataContext = dataset.Table.DefaultView;

Thank you in advance.

A: One way to do this is to use nullable parameters:
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM Table
WHERE (@Field2 IS NULL OR Field2 = @Field2)

but you need to be aware that this can lead to incorrectly cached query plans in some circumstances where there are many parameters. If you are using SQL Server 2005+, this can be mitigated to a large ectent using OPTIMIZE FOR.
Also, make sure your statistics are up to date.

A: If you're building up the SQL like that within your C# code, then just put an if condition in your C# logic to not include the WHERE clause in the instance you want to return all records. This would create a different SQL statement, so would be OK for performance/execution plan-wise.
If you're going to be using a sproc, you could try this approach:
IF (@Field2 = 'SomeWildcardValue')
    SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM SomeTable
ELSE
    SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3 FROM SomeTable WHERE Field2 = @Field2

Or even, keep them completely separate, create one sproc to return ALL, and one to return based on Field2 search. Although if you have a larger number of parameters, this can soon mount up!

A: In general I would use the nullable parameter method in an SP.  Based on your code though, why don't you build the SQL commandtext based on what the user has entered? For example, only add a where clause to the SQL if the user has entered something into the text box, otherwise, just a simple select.

The funniest thing about this is I engaged this lady on Twitter a while back, not knowing a thing about all the crazy information on her.
The next you know she's appointed as the White House Disinformation Czar, after having a looong record of spreading insane disnfo herself.
Glenn Greenwald has it, "Homeland Security's 'Disinformation Board' is Even More Pernicious Than it Seems":
The power to decree what is "disinformation" now determines what can and cannot be discussed on the internet. It is now in the hands of trained disinformation agents of the U.S. Security State.
The most egregious and blatant official U.S. disinformation campaign in years took place three weeks before the 2020 presidential election. That was when dozens of former intelligence officials purported, in an open letter, to believe that authentic emails regarding Joe Biden's activities in China and Ukraine, reported by The New York Post, were "Russian disinformation." That quasi-official proclamation enabled liberal corporate media outlets to uncritically mock and then ignore those emails as Kremlin-created fakes, and it pressured Big Tech platforms such as Facebook and Twitter to censor the reporting at exactly the time Americans were preparing to decide who would be the next U.S. president.
The letter from these former intelligence officials was orchestrated by trained career liars — disinformation agents — such as former CIA Director John Brennan and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper. Yet that letter was nonetheless crucial to discredit and ultimately suppress the New York Post's incriminating reporting on Biden. It provided a quasi-official imprimatur — something that could be depicted as an authoritative decree — that these authentic emails were, in fact, fraudulent.
After all, if all of these noble and heroic intelligence operatives who spent their lives studying Russian disinformation were insisting that the Biden emails had all of the "hallmarks" of Kremlin treachery, who possessed the credibility to dispute their expert assessment? This clip from the media leader in spreading this CIA pre-election lie — CNN — features their national security analyst James Clapper, and it illustrates how vital this pretense of officialdom was in their deceitful disinformation campaign...
This same strategic motive — to vest accusations of "disinformation" with the veneer of expertise — is what has fostered a new, very well-financed industry heralding itself as composed of "anti-disinformation" scholars. Knowing that Americans are inculcated from childhood to believe that censorship is nefarious — that it is the hallmark of tyranny — those who wish to censor need to find some ennobling rationale to justify it and disguise what it is.
They have thus created a litany of neutral-sounding groups with benign names — The Atlantic Council, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, various "fact-checking" outfits controlled by corporate media outlets — that claim to employ "anti-disinformation experts" to identify and combat fake news. Just as media corporations re-branded their partisan pundits as "fact-checkers" -- to masquerade their opinions as elevated, apolitical, authoritative decrees of expertise -- the term "disinformation expert" is designed to disguise ideological views on behalf of state and corporate power centers as Official Truth...
This scam is the critical context for understanding why the Biden Administration casually announced last week the creation of what it is calling a "Disinformation Board" inside the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). There is no conceivable circumstance in which a domestic law enforcement agency like DHS should be claiming the power to decree truth and falsity. Operatives in the U.S. Security State are not devoted to combatting disinformation. The opposite is true: they are trained, career liars tasked with concocting and spreading disinformation. As Politico's Jack Schafer wrote:
Who among us thinks the government should add to its work list the job of determining what is true and what is disinformation? And who thinks the government is capable of telling the truth? Our government produces lies and disinformation at industrial scale and always has. It overclassifies vital information to block its own citizens from becoming any the wiser. It pays thousands of press aides to play hide the salami with facts….Making the federal government the official custodian of truth would be like Brink's giving a safe-cracker a job driving an armored car.
The purpose of Homeland Security agents is to propagandize and deceive, not enlighten and inform. The level of historical ignorance and stupidity required to believe that U.S. Security State operatives are earnestly devoted to exposing and decreeing truth — as CNN's Brian Stelter evidently believes, given that he praised this new government program as "common sense" — is off the charts. As Jameel Jaffer, formerly of the ACLU and now with the Columbia's Knight First Amendment Institute put it, most troubling is "the fact that the board is housed at DHS, an especially opaque agency that has run roughshod over civil liberties in the past."
Typically, any attempt to apply George Orwell's warning novel 1984 to U.S. politics is reflexively dismissed as hyperbolic: a free and democratic country like the United States could not possibly fall prey to the dystopian repression Orwell depicts. Yet it is quite difficult to distinguish this "Disinformation Board" from Ingsoc's Ministry of Truth. The protagonist of Orwell's novel, Winston Smith, worked in the Ministry of Truth and described at length how its primary function was to create official versions of truth and falsity, which always adhered to the government's needs of the moment and were subject to radical change as those interests evolved.
That the Board will be run by such a preposterous and laughable figure as Nina Jankowicz — a liberal cartoon, a caricature of a #Resistance Twitter fanatic who spent 2016 posting adolescent partisan tripe such as: "Maybe @HillaryClinton's most important point so far: 'A @realDonaldTrump presidency would embolden ISIS.' #ImWithHer" — has, in some sense, made this board seem more benign and harmless. After all, how nefarious and dangerous can a board be when it is governed by a person as frivolous and banal as this, calling herself "the Mary Poppins of disinformation"? But just as banality can be a vehicle for evil, it can also be a vehicle for repression and tyrannical control. Jankowicz, reacting with horror to Elon Musk's vow to restore a modicum of free speech to the internet, just last week on NPR touted the virtues of censorship: "I shudder to think about if free speech absolutists were taking over more platforms, what that would look like for the marginalized communities ... which are already shouldering ... disproportionate amounts of this abuse," she said.
Her just-released book, entitled "How to Be A Woman Online: Surviving Abuse and Harassment, and How to Fight Back," is full of justifications for online censorship. Last year, she condemned me and Fox News host Tucker Carlson as "disgusting" for the crime of criticizing the fabrications of then-New York Times front-page reporter Taylor Lorenz, on the ground that powerful professional women (with the right political ideology) must not be criticized because such accountability results in harassment...

Happy Birthday Peter Thiel: And For The "New Currency" PayPal !
Home Entrepreneurship Happy Birthday Peter Thiel: And For The "New Currency" PayPal !
Being recognised by the World Economic Forum as a Young Global Leader is not easy. And neither was it building the 'new currency' as admitted by Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal. Managing funds right from $700 million as president of Clarium to $2 billion as a managing partner of FoundersFund, Peter's adrenaline has always come from informal innovation focused startups and mentoring them. He is also known for being the first outside investor in Facebook. Presently, he presently is an investor and co-founder of successful investment and hedge fund management firms like Clarium Capital Management, Valar Ventures, Mithril Capital Management and FoundersFund. Peter sold PayPal to eBay for $1.5 billion in 2002.
On his 51 birth anniversary, we bring a few interesting yet less known facts about Peter Thiel.
Bullish about Silicon Valley being the torch-bearer of American success for years to come, Peter cares less for the education than the impact to the society, the startup founders can bring about through their offering. Branded as a contrarian who likes bashing brands and companies, he does see monopolies like Google driving success more than incremental improvement in building technology companies like Microsoft.
Peter is also pretty biased in the companies he has invested (e.g. Space X, Lyft, Facebook) in and always shoots down the competition stating the reasons why they wold not succeed. To most's dismay, it sounds pretty true, considering the practices of the companies he corners. Even Twitter's growth, he had commented, is no where close to its potential.
4. The lack of path-breaking innovation and settling down for just minor incremental achievements in both science and technology.
1. The first time he used Twitter was on the stage of TechCrunch Disrupt 2014 in San Francisco, USA.
2. In his book 'Zero to One' he communicates everything he learnt about Tech and Business and that he had taught at Stanford in 2012.
3. If Thiel was not an entrepreneur, he would probably be a teacher, he admitted. He loves to mentor and guide and thus his alternate profession choice.
4. Peter was contesting to be a clerk on the Supreme court ranks after his degree in Law from Stanford. In retrospect, he was happy he was not among the two selected of the eight he was among interviewing for the post.
5. Though he favors people learning and teaching as a profession, he is pretty skeptical about what falls under education today, classifying it as an incredible abstraction, obscuring a lot of things that we do and being very unclear on how valuable what is being taught is, in many cases. He has been known to encourage college kids to dropout and become entrepreneurs, even funding their "Zero to One" ideas and projects by creating the Thiel Fellowship, which will award 20 people under 20 years of age, $100,000, in order to inspire them to quit college and create their own ventures.
6. Peter sees extreme traits (he has quoted some other founders of Paypal had built bombs in their college) in founders being a big giveaway of their entrepreneurial instincts, however, clarifies that mere craziness is not a virtue, and a balance between being crazy and doing business is the key attribute to success. Competing, according to him, is not the way to succeed in entrepreneurship.
7. His view sounds pragmatic yet is controversial on founders quitting the companies they founded, quoting it as the loss of faith in their own product that leads to their disassociating with it.
8. Having a confident stance about technology and entrepreneurship, though against the norm, is certainly a trait much respected, as much it is condemned. And his viewpoints become even more prominent when it comes to the political scenario. Be it about his remarks in the Libertarian 'Cato Unbound' blog, where Peter states that he no longer believed that freedom and democracy are compatible or when he accounted vast increase in welfare beneficiaries liable to render the notion of "capitalist democracy" into an oxymoron.
9. Peter Thiel ranked #67 on the Forbes Midas List: Top Tech Investors 2018 and #328 on Forbes 400 2018 – the definitive ranking of the wealthiest Americans.
With all the zeal and enthusiasm, Peter Thiel is nothing less than an idol for many who like libertarian ideologies and his philosophy of being profit oriented surely should go well with investors too. The believer in long-term he is, we wish his experiments with anti-ageing reap him huge dividends and keep his intention to inspire many more path-breaking innovators coming.
Happy Birthday, Peter Thiel! We wish you a lasting lifetime of fiery passion to pass on to the entrepreneurs of tomorrow.

Whitey's update is at the bottom of this post.
Coal vs. Puppy vs. Cheezy vs. PJ vs. Squeaker Ball.
Squeaker ball loses from the start.
Thank you for all paws and prayers sent our way, everybody. We had Whitey admitted at the vetties for two days.
He's still emaciated and dehydrated, so we're taking care of him with round the clock care. He gets force-fed water 4 times a day (because he's not on IV drip), and he eats 3-4 times a day, too. You'd think he's just pretending to be sick because he's grown picky. He hates recovery food and will only eat liver, chicken meat or beef meat-- oh, and cream cheese, too!
The vet says he has Chronic Renal Failure. I'm still researching on ways to manage it. We're now on kidney care and iron supplements, diuretics, and Doxycycline. I'll be talking about this another time, though.
For those who's dealt with kidney failure before, could you share your experiences with us.
So sorry to hear about Whitey. Sorry I don't know anything about renal failure, but we are sending our Sibe vibes and 24 paws crossed for you. Hope you find some answers.
We are sending more healing vibes and POTP to sweet Whitley. We too hope you find some help from somewhere.
But Cream Cheese is the BEST medicine (in our opinion) We didn't know about Whitey...our computer has been a pest for awhile. So we're sending POTP to him.
That Squeaky Ball game looks like fun!
Praying for your Whitley to get better!! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Those are some great acrobatics! We are very sorry to hear about Whitey. We are sending purrs and prayers, and hoping you can figure out how to best manage his renal failure. Hugs to you.
Whitey is lucky to have you. I do love the action shots of the dogs playing.
It was fun to see everyone playing ball...you are right, the ball hasn't a chance! Sending our strongest and most powerful White Dog Healing energies to your white dog. Feel our paws and arms surrounding you all in love and hope.


Today I thought that I would share a post about my day in London on Friday. I live about 20 minutes train ride away, so it's really easy to get to, especially for reasons like tennis! I'm a huge fan and was lucky enough to watch the Queen's Club tournament which I've never been to before but my sister lives close by and managed to get us some tickets.
I started off my visit with a trip to Bill's as I'd heard they'd added some new things to their menu and I really wanted to try them! I went to the restaurant at High Street Kensington which is really handy to get to (and near some great shops).
I ended up having the gnocchi with prawns and ndjua sausage which was delicious and my sister had the chicken kebabs with flatbread and salad. We shared the doughnuts with chocolate and caramel sauce, (I can't believe I've never had them before!) which were amazing and then set off for the tennis.
We arrived at Queens Club at about 4:30 and I was so surprised about how big it was. I'd always walked past it and it seemed quite small from the outside but apart from the two main courts, there were lots of practice courts around the outside too. We watched Thomas Berdych vs Feliciano Lopez which was a very exciting match and ended up going on until quite late and was full of really exciting tennis!
This lunch sounds really tasty!
OMG! This lunch must be delicious!!
Sounds like you had great time, Rosanna. The lunch looks so delicious.
I am back to blogging activities and catch up from my time off :) so needed :) for a uni project. So nice that your sister got tickets to the tennis tournament and the food looks really delicious! Made me hungry now, no joke! I hope all is well and nice to be here again! Wishing you a nice week! Hugs!
This sounds like such a perfect afternoon; watching tennis (emphasis on the word 'watching' - minimal effort required! haha) and a tasty meal. Lovely!
What a fun (and yummy) day!
Sounds like a lovely time!! The food looks great as well!
My weekend was rather boring, I didn't do much, lol!
Looks like you had a great time! The lunch looks really delicious ... Lucky you!
It looks like you had a wonderful weekend, girlie! I've never seen a live tennis match before! The food looks absolutely delicious, as usual :) Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you're having a great start to your week so far!
Perfect lunch. I'm hungry now.
Sounds like a lovely weekend! I've only ever had breakfast at Bills before, but the food looks delicious!

Stacking pre-calculated object transmission functions (slices) determines the maximum sample thickness of the simulation.
Setup a sequence of slices as it should be used during the multislice calculation from the entrance plane to the exit plane. The stack will be shown in the list on the left side, while slices available for stacking are listed on the right side.
In its upper part, the dialog denotes the sampling of the available slice data.
There are two edit boxes to set a periodic repeat along the x- and y-axis. This repetition can be used to increase the number of pixels of the calculated wave function beyond the present sampling of the projected potentials, e.g. to increase the number of pixels sampling the bright-field disk in CBED simulations. Use this option with utmost care, i.e. use only small numbers.
Available slice phase gratings listed on the right are identified by ID numbers as shown in the first column of the list. Further, a slice name, the number of frozen-lattice variants, and a file name may be displayed. The slice name denotes the composition of the slice.
The object slice sequence on the left side is a sequence of phase grating IDs and determines the sequence of the slices applied in the multislice calculation. Use the set of buttons between the lists to manipulate and build the sequence.
The length of the object slice sequence determines the maximum sample thickness of the calculation, which is denoted in the info box above the list. A longer list will not cause increased memory consumption but will result in longer calculation times.
The easiest way of setting up a thick sample is to use the [Set ...] button next to the Max. thickness display. You can set the desired sample thickness in nanometers and the program will fill the slice list on the left side with a periodic sequence of the slices on the right side.
The slices selected on the right side are inserted above the selected position on the left side. In order to insert selected slice at the end of the current sequence, undo any selection in the left list. You can toggle selections individually by mouse	clicking the respective item while holding the Ctrl (Strg) key.
All slices on the right side are inserted above the selected position on the left side. The slices are appended to the end of the object slice sequence if no selection is made in the left list.
Slices selected on the left side are moved up by one position in the sequence	towards the entrance plane.
Slices selected on the left side are moved down by one position in the sequence	towards the exit plane.
The slices selected on the left side are duplicated and inserted above the currently	selected position into the slice sequence.
All slices of the object slice sequence are duplicated. The complete object structure is thus repeated along the projection direction.
The slices selected on the left side are removed.
The selected slice sequence is reversed in its top-down order.
Loads an object slice sequence from a text file.
Saves the current object slice sequence to a text file. You may reload the sequence again later by using the [Import] function. You can also insert the content of the file at the respective position of a parameter file for the command-line program MSA.
Slice data as listed on the right side can be loaded from disk files, saved to files, removed from the list, and merged to one slice. For each of these functions a respective button is present below the list. The list manipulation	supports multiple selection.
Slice files saved previously can be loaded and used again. You should check that the slice data corresponds to the current program parameters, especially to the current accelerating voltage. Take care to load only slice data, where all the slice have the same sampling and corresponding physical dimension. The slice-to-slice consistency in terms of sampling parameters is not checked by Dr. Probe.
By saving slice data to files you may use them again later or by the command-line tool MSA.
Select the desired destination folder and specify a unique file name. Existing files with equal file names will be replaced by the new files without asking your permission. Clicking the [OK] button to start the saving and wait until it is finished.
One file is saved for each slice with a file name is composed of the user specified name followed by a separator character (_), and a three-digit number identifying the position of the slice data in the list. One slice file may contain many slice variants as used for a frozen-lattice calculation. An additional collection of slice parameters is saved next to the slice files in form of a text file with extension '.slp'.
The slice data selected in the available slice data list will be unloaded from the working memory and the respective items will be removed from the list. Any slice inserted to the object slice sequence on the left side having the same ID as the removed item, will be removed automatically.
All slice data will be unloaded and both lists, the object slice sequence and the available slice data will be empty afterwards.
