Get Tusked: The Inside Story of Fleetwood Mac's Most Anticipated Album
by Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas
In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Fleetwood Mac's epic, platinum-selling double album, Tusk, producers and engineers Ken Caillat and Hernan Rojas tell their stories of spending a year with the band in their new million-dollar studio trying to follow up Rumours, the biggest rock album of the time.
Following their massive success, the band continued its infamous soap opera when its musical leader and guitarist, Lindsey Buckingham, threatened to quit if he didn't get things his way, resulting in clashes not only with his band but especially Caillat, who had been essential to the band's Grammy-winning sound.
Hernan Rojas's story recounts a young man who leaves Chile after General Pinochet's coup to seek his future in the music industry of Los Angeles, where he finds success at one of the hottest studios in town. When Fleetwood Mac arrives, Rojas falls in love with its star singer, Stevie Nicks, and the two of them become romantically involved.
Throughout the book, both Caillat and Rojas detail not only the trials and sacrifices they made to finish the album, but also triumphs of musical inspiration and technical innovation that have made Tusk the darling of music critics and indie rockers today.

Voortman shot blasting machines are specially designed for shot blasting plates and profiles and are made out of high quality components, giving the best shot blasting results. Long lifetime components are used to minimize the wear of the machine, which is essential on the inside due to the shot blasting process. Pre-installed shot blasting programs and automatic functions make Voortman's industrial shot blasting machines fast and easy to work with. The compact design of the shot blasting machine reduces the required working space to a minimum, without compromising on functionality and quality.
This option is frequently used on the VSB2500 shot blasting machine. In case of blasting wide plates the outer turbine angles are adjusted to give maximum blasting power over the total width. In case of blasting beams, which are centrally placed on the conveyor, the outer turbine angles are adjusted to give more blasting power to the middle of the conveyor. A big advantage: Higher speed by smaller width and less wear on the machine.
The turbines which are used for all Voortman shot blasting machines are made according to a design used for many years. Each turbine set has a separate abrasive valve to start the abrasive flow only when material reaches the turbine, so damage to the machine because of running empty is minimized. Each turbine is connected to its motor with flexible couplings supported by double bearings for maximum stability. This reduces the wear of the motor to a minimum.
To prevent shutting down the shot blasting machine to refill the abrasive container, a separate abrasive container can be placed next to the shot blaster which can be refilled without disturbing the blasting process. A sensor in the main container gives a signal to start the transfer of abrasive between the containers.


Diego de Almagro Hotel Santiago Diego-de Almagro Hotel is located one kilometre from the city centre and is within walking distance from the government and financial centres and the Moneda Metro Station.
The hotel has 220 comfortable guest rooms and a cosy restaurant that serves international cuisine. The conference rooms are decorated like the galas of the 19th century and are equipped with all facilities to make your meetings successful ones.

Consequences and opportunities
The University of Ferrara has many large and important properties at its disposal. The oldest buildings were those that suffered most damage from the earthquake and subsequent surveys have affirmed that four of them are unfit for use. The Renata di Francia, Strozzi, Tassoni and Gulinelli palaces are all totally or partially unusable. The earthquake has taught us an important lesson in relation to the recovery and renovation work that we are about to start. Historical buildings that have been the subject of restoration work in recent years have not suffered major damage, and this demonstrates that anti-seismic operations can be effectively carried out even on old buildings. An example of this is the former convent of Santa Lucia, dating back to 1537, which had just been completed as a student residence, and now te mporarily houses the headquarters of the Chancellorship and a substantial number of the central administration offices. Despite having suffered serious damage our University has never closed and all members of our community have engaged in passionate and intense work to ensure the continuation of many of our activities. To date, we can perform all our duties in safety and, for the oncoming academic year, we are able to offer the same courses that we offered last year. What has driven us is the need to recover quickly in order to continue to be an efficient and organized unit at the service of the whole community. Additionally, our university has made available our expertise and equipment for the use of the whole territory in order to deal with emergency situations, safety, reconstruction and restoration. With regard to the issue of resources, thanks to the fundamental financial support from the Ministry and the liquidation of insurance claims, we have obtained the financial resources and can now start planning the necessary recovery and restoration interventions.
Our c ommitment is to turn a crisis into an opportunity for growth, dedicating certain lines of research work to reconstruction. We need to involve researchers on specific topics, whilst also providing scholarships, fellowships and grants. Important results can be achieved through agreements with external bodies, both public and private, to develop the field of urban planning and design, protection of the city and landscape, as well as the preservation and restoration of the architectural
heritage. Higher education is an investment for the future and not just a cost, and it is even more important in the period of severe economic and social hardship that our country is currently experiencing.

British Columbia and Alberta have been a study in opposites when it comes to marijuana. For years, illegal marijuana dispensaries have flourished in B.C., particularly in Vancouver and Victoria, where city governments handed out business licences and local police departments turned a blind eye to dozens of so-called "grey-market" operations. In contrast, dispensaries in Alberta cities such as Calgary and Edmonton faced police raids and pressure from city officials, which meant they never grew to more than a small handful.
Now that recreational marijuana is legal, it's suddenly the reverse. B.C. has a single legal store, a government-owned location in the Interior city of Kamloops, and it's not entirely clear when more will open or at what pace. Alberta had 17 stores up and running on Day One. What's more, Alberta is poised for a rapid growth in cannabis stores, with more than 100 additional stores expected to open in the next month in a province where the storefront retail sales have been turned over entirely to the private sector.
Justin Giovannetti looked at why Alberta has been so aggressive and so successful in launching the new industry. People within the industry say a big reason is that the Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis Commission, or AGLC, has been really efficient as it approved applications and brought in product. In other words, the agency seems to know what it's doing.
In some ways, it's familiar territory for the province. Alberta privatized its liquor stores in the early 1990s, and the result has been a proliferation of retail shops, from large chains to tiny beer and wine corner stores — all run by private businesses. A government agency handles importing and wholesale as the province gained a reputation for having an extensive selection of beer, wines and spirits, especially compared with other provinces. The same approach — and the same bureaucracy — has been brought to legal cannabis. Private retailers, however, are still warning about near-term shortages.
Despite the lack of legal retail outlets in neighbouring B.C., there are still places to buy cannabis. The province's online mail-order store is up and running, and many dispensaries have continued to operate, unabated. Police departments and provincial inspectors have not staged any widespread enforcement. The local RCMP detachment in Port Alberni raided two illegal dispensaries on Wednesday, which appears to be the only crackdown on the day the drug became legal.

B.C. CIVIC ELECTION: British Columbians go to the polls Saturday to elect mayors and councils, but voters in Vancouver have the most bewildering array of choices. With 158 names on the ballot for 27 positions, with the traditional two parties in splinters and with an at-large system, what Vancouver Council looks like by the time the results are in is anyone's guess. One thing is certain, though: Leafy neighbourhoods with exclusively single-family homes will change as all candidates for mayor advocate higher density.
The city's other crisis – the one that's killing people – is the struggle against the fentanyl epidemic. The three leading contenders in the election acknowledge the situation is urgent, but the city has few tools beyond the ones it is using. Andrea Woo has frequently reported on the consensus among mental health experts that decriminalization is a necessary step. But independent candidate Kennedy Stewart was frank in saying it's a non-starter with Ottawa. And NPA candidate Ken Sim was unclear on the difference between decriminalization and legalization.
If elections are a healthy way to hit the reset button, nowhere will that cleanse be more welcome than in Nanaimo. Justine Hunter dropped in on the Vancouver Island city, where residents have watched in horror and embarrassment during the last several years as the council chamber came to resemble a cage match, with a chair-throwing incident, an invitation to the mayor to "bite me" and RCMP investigations. The mayor isn't running again and no one is more relieved than he is.
CARBON TAX: The C.D. Howe Institute is endorsing the federal carbon tax plan, with a new report that concludes the policy is the best way to reduce emissions and meet targets set by the Paris Agreement. The report comes as Ontario steps up its opposition to the tax, joining Saskatchewan, Manitoba and potentially Alberta, where an election next year could see the United Conservative Party take power. Intergovernmental Relations Minister Dominic LeBanc is warning Ontario Premier Doug Ford to focus on his own province rather than take his carbon tax fight out West. Mr. Ford travelled to Alberta earlier this month to rally with United Conservative Party Leader Jason Kenney. Meanwhile, Canadian airlines are warning that carbon taxes — and the increase on fares — will send more travellers to the U.S. in search of cheaper flights.
KILLER WHALES: The endangered plight of the southern resident killer whale is a major reason why the Federal Court of Appeal put the brakes on the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion. One of the reasons the whales are so imperilled is because of a dwindling food supply, namely chinook salmon. But Ian Bailey exclusively obtained an internal memo from Department of Fisheries and Oceans staff, raising the alarm about what they say are insufficient efforts to keep track of salmon numbers for species other than the most lucrative, sockeye. The department says more resources have been added.
AGA KHAN GARDEN: The Aga Khan was in Edmonton for the inauguration of the Aga Khan Garden at the University of Alberta's botanical gardens. The garden, which has 25,000 plants, 120 fruit trees, 12 water features and more than 650 tonnes of granite and polished limestone, is designed to be a place for contemplation.
STEPHEN GALLOWAY: The University of British Columbia is having to pay author Stephen Galloway another $60,000 for breaching the confidentiality requirements of an arbitrated settlement he won following his firing from the school. The UBC Faculty Association, which worked on Mr. Galloway's behalf, was awarded $15,000. When added to the money Mr. Galloway was given under the original settlement, the school has had to pay out more than $240,000 over its handling of the allegations against the former department head.
FOOD: Alexandra Gill headed to Whistler to review the renovated, but not renamed, Il Caminetto restaurant, which is catering to an even wealthier class of tourist. Her three-star review notes that "money might not buy happiness, but it can stock a restaurant with good machinery, excellent products and great talent." In Calgary, Dan Clapson takes a look at how restaurants across the Prairies are teaming up with artists to transform their dining rooms into art galleries.
THE LIBRARY BOOK: Author Susan Orlean writes the library is "where we can glimpse immortality." But she tells Marsha Lederman that she seriously questioned her longevity as a book author seven years ago. That changed with a trip to Los Angeles' Central library and the horrifying discovery of a fire there in 1986 that wiped out untold treasures. Marsha writes how the place – the library – became the storytelling tool of a crime mystery, but also the history of the city and even dementia.
Dwight Newman on the Indigenous consultation and the Supreme Court: "This is not the first time the court has evaded making a clear decision in the context of Indigenous rights. Indeed, judges in past decisions have expressed a preference that matters be resolved by negotiation, and thus would effectively leave some details of aboriginal law issues undecided to permit this. "
Chris Turner on climate policy and Alberta: "The Trudeau-Notley consensus is – was – an ugly deal. It ran roughshod over the land rights of a number of First Nations, amplified the risk of ecological disaster in the Salish Sea, and provided a sort of buffer to fossil fuel industries still reluctant to face twilight head on. But it was the best shot we've ever had at turning the corner decisively on a crisis that counts in decades and centuries. "

From the mid-18th century until August of 1909, the ferry boat at Williamsport was the sole method to cross the Potomac River. That is, unless you were General Lee and had your own army to build a pontoon bridge.
- Click on any photo to enlarge -
The idea of a Potomac River bridge at Williamsport had been bandied about for some 50 years until early 1907 when it came to fruition with the formation of the Washington and Berkeley Bridge Company, a West Virginia corporation.
The corporation organized to build a concrete reinforced bridge nearly 1,600 feet long and 24 feet wide. The bridge was a superstructure for the times, large enough to accommodate wagons, foot traffic, a trolley track, and perhaps, those new "automobiles". There were even rumors of negotiations with the Hagerstown Electric Railway to add railroad tracks over the bridge. Shortly after its formation, the new corporation elected Victor Cushwa of Williamsport as president, vice-president Decatur Hedges of Martinsburg, and secretary-treasurer Dr. W. S. Richardson of Williamsport.
Seeking public and financial support from the locals, the bridge company boasted that this construction project would bring many jobs to the community. In July of 1907, the corporation awarded the construction contract to the Pennsylvania Steel Company with Mason D. Pratt, senior engineer. Pratt was given full authority of the project including surveys, plans, and specifications. In August the bridge company contracted with Elmore & Hamilton of Schenectady, NY, to build the concrete bridge piers.
Both companies brought in their own workmen, supervisors, and laborers, resulting in very few locals being hired.
Elmore & Hamilton began construction of the concrete piers and abutments on September 1, 1908. In a little over three months they had completed the last pier, finishing the 9th of December 1908. The piers were placed about 100 feet apart, with some over sixty feet tall.
The engineers plan called for eighteen concrete piers.
After the concrete cured, the Pennsylvania Steel Company was directed to place two, ten-ton steel girders atop each pier connecting pier-to-pier.
After the main side supports were installed, each section was fitted with seven steel floor-beams, and twelve steel eye-beams, weighing in at an additional sixteen and one-half tons.
On top of all this, a railroad track was laid to accommodate a traveling derrick (weighing in at forty tons) by which the steel was moved from shore to span as each section completed. The derrick was nicknamed "the Traveler."
The Pennsylvania Steel workers were specialized members of the company's "Bridge and Construction" division created twenty years earlier to built bridges, docks, and large buildings. These efficient, skilled workman began laying the steel across the concrete piers at blazing speed. The first steel girder was set on pier one the chilly morning of November 17, 1908. In less than a month the steel workers had installed the steel up to pier nine.
As cold weather set in, the Pennsylvania and New York workmen were highly motivated to finish this job and get home before a hard winter. But as the steel workers rapidly set each section of steel, the drying time the newer concrete piers had to cure was reduced exponentially. Traditionally, concrete requires from three weeks to two months to properly cure. Cold temperatures can reduce drying times, and the weather that November into December was cold, and getting colder. It was estimated that the concrete atop pier ten was poured only one week before the steel workers attempted to fit the pier with steel.
While the supervisors were busy setting up pier eleven, the workmen set the steel on pier ten. The "green" concrete immediately crumbled under the massive weight of the steel. In moments, twenty-ton of steel, the forty-ton derrick named Traveler, and fourteen workmen crashed 60 feet down into a foot of muddy water with a screeching cacophony heard miles away.
PIER COLLAPSES, FOUR KILLED.
Four Injured When 14 Men Fall 60 Feet Into the Potomac River.
Hagerstown, Md., Dec. 16. -- Four men were instantly killed and four others seriously injured by a portion of a concrete pier of the new bridge being erected over the Potomac River at Williamsport collapsing to-day.
The dead:
BICKEL, ROSS H., Dauphin, Penn., aged 22 years and married.
GUSSLER, CHARLES, Duncannon, Penn., 36 years old, married.
MEYERS, JAMES G., Bendersville, Penn., 26 years, married.
STIFF, GEORGE, Roanoke, Va., 26 years, unmarried.
The injured:
CHARLES MOORE, Steelton, Penn., jaw crushed.
JEROME HOLLENBACH, Highspire, Penn., cut about head and body.
JOHN L. NACE, Pennbrook, Penn., both legs crushed and head cut.
FRANK L. BENNING, Buffalo Mills, Penn., hurt about the head and body.
One or two of the injured are in a serious condition and may die.
The New York Times, New York 1908-12-17
Three men died instantly, the forth a short time later. Six men were seriously injured. Only one of the injured workmen was local, Alonza Zimmerman of Big Pool, amazingly suffered only minor scrapes and bruises after his 60-foot fall into the mud.
Work on the bridge was halted immediately as the wreckage and cause were sorted out. Naturally, payments also stopped and all sides lawyered up.
Work on the bridge did not resume until May 15, 1909, and was completed on August 8, 1909.
The law suits began in January of 1909:
-Elmore & Hamilton sued the Washington and Berkeley Bridge Company for $16,239 for excavation and concrete work.
-The Pennsylvania Steel Company sued the Washington and Berkeley Bridge Company for unpaid services.
-The families of the deceased and injured sued both Elmore & Hamilton and Pennsylvania Steel for wrongful death.
-Pennsylvania Steel sued Elmore & Hamilton for negligence.
-Pennsylvania Steel then sued the Washington and Berkeley Bridge Company for reimbursement for damages paid as a result of the wrongful death suits.
-And, ironically, Elizabeth V. Ardinger of Williamsport owner of the ferry, sued the Washington and Berkeley Bridge Company for destroying her ferry business.
Legally, it was an interesting case. Regardless that the contract with Pennsylvania Steel gave their engineer complete autonomy over the project, the Washington and Berkeley Bridge Company had independently contracted with the concrete firm, thereby raising questions as to who was responsible. The trials, appeals, and appeals to higher courts, continued for another eleven years.
Hamilton Downs was hired as the first toll collector for the bridge company.

Here the derrick tracks have been removed and the bridge opened for business.
Interestingly, the local newspapers reported very little on the bridge collapse and deaths, preferring to focus on the upcoming ceremonies set for August 18, 1909. Other newspapers across the nation, especially in Pennsylvania, carried blow-by-blow reports of the tragedy and trials.
Thousands attended the official opening of the bridge on August 18, 1909. Festivities began with speeches from a podium on Conococheague Street in front of the new Pythian Castle. From there a large parade marched through town and onto the bridge.
The bridge was completed on August 8, 1909. Edward Byron, secretary for the Washington Berkeley Bridge Company was the first to cross the bridge in his automobile.
Despite the lawsuits, and the trolley company abandoning plans to extend tracks to Martinsburg, and the Western Maryland Railway deciding to build their own bridge across the Potomac, the Washington and Berkeley Bridge Company made money. It was the only independently owned bridge company in Maryland, collecting tolls from 1910 until 1954 when the bridge was sold to the State of Maryland. Under the State's ownership, from January 8, 1954, to March 31, 1958, gross revenues from tolls totaled $1,016,270.13.
In March of 1936, heavy snow melt combined with torrential rain along the Blue Ridge resulted in major flooding of the Potomac River.
The Potomac River crested at over 49 feet. Remarkably, the Potomac River bridge was the only Potomac River bridge to survive the flood unscathed. Hundreds of folks paid the dime toll to view the flood waters from the bridge.

The closing statement of the International Conference on Northern and Eastern Syria / Rojava held in the European Parliament
The closing statement of the International Conference on Northern and Eastern Syria / Rojava held in the European Parliament.
A two-day international conference on the northern and eastern Syria (Roger Ava) was held over two days in the European Parliament in the Belgian capital, Brussels, in the presence and participation of political figures and parliamentarians from various countries of the world, in addition to researchers, academics, lawmen and the media, and the final statement was issued later as follows:
Statement text:
The Kurdish Friendship Group in the European Parliament and representatives of the Autonomous Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria (Rojava) in Europe, the International Alliance for the Defense of Rights and Freedoms (AIDL), and the Green Union / European Union (Free Alliance) held in the European Parliament on December 11-12 an international conference Entitled "An International Conference on North and East Syria (Rojava): A Regional and Global Test of Credibility".
The conference was held with the participation of members of the regulating bodies, as well as members of the European Parliament, politicians, international organizations and bodies, jurists, researchers, academics and the media.
The participants reviewed many files, and discussed many issues, related to northern and eastern Syria (Rojava), the most important of which was the Turkish invasion, led by jihadist groups funded and trained by the Turkish government. The Turkish government continues to use Syrian refugees as blackmail against European and international societies to divert attention from war crimes. The Turkish government continues to commit genocide, ethnic cleansing, and demographic change against the Kurdish, Christian, Syriac, and Arab populations in northern and eastern Syria (Rojava). These flagrant acts of aggression constitute violations of international law and principles of good-neighborliness and threaten international peace and security.
The aggression of the Turkish state and its jihadist proxies necessitated the establishment of this international conference, whose organizers are now calling on the European Union and the international community to interfere in northern and eastern Syria (Rojava) by taking a serious and resolute stance against Turkey's reckless and illegal actions.
We have all heard the discussions that shed light on Turkey's appalling record of human rights violations, international law and United Nations treaties. The following are violations of the relevant treaties committed by the Turkish government:
The Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, where the crime of genocide was committed against Kurds and Arabs in the Sri Kani and Afrin regions.
The International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, whereby all forms of racial discrimination are practiced against the aforementioned Kurds and various minorities.
The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights regarding Kurdish groups and others in the areas they occupied in Syria.
Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, International Humanitarian Law.
Four Geneva Conventions on war and the protocols thereto.
6- International agreements related to banning some types of weapons (biological, incendiary, landmines, etc.), where white phosphorous was used illegally in Sri Kani and Afrin.
The Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, as the Turkish state and its allied jihadist groups have systematically targeted women in northern and eastern Syria (Rojava), such as the field execution of Kurdish politician Hevrin Khalaf and mutilation of her body.
The Convention on the Rights of the Child, in which children are killed and slaughtered, such as the killing of 8 children as a result of the Turkish bombing of Tal Rifaat on December 3.
The International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism. Turkey funded, trained, and supported extremist militias and jihadi organizations.
It is clear that the actions of the Turkish government amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity, and it can be said that it is genocide. These crimes against the Kurdish people and other components in northern and eastern Syria (Rojava) such as the Arabs, Syrians, and Christians require strong international condemnation.
Accordingly, the conference concluded with a set of important recommendations that will be followed up through the formation of a joint follow-up committee that reports to the European Parliament, other EU institutions and relevant international bodies. The recommendations are:
Total condemnation of the Turkish aggression against northern and eastern Syria and its partial occupation (Rojava) through a firm position on the European Parliament and the United Nations, among others.
The withdrawal of the Turkish army and its jihadist agents from all the areas they occupied in northern and eastern Syria (Rojava), including Afrin, Idlib, and others.
Ensure the safe and dignified return of all displaced persons to their homes.
Include all Turkish and jihadi proxies allied with them who participated in the invasion and the ensuing crimes on the international lists of terrorist organizations, and activate a monitoring and accountability mechanism to ensure justice.
Establish a local court with international sponsorship in northern and eastern Syria (Rojava) to prosecute Turks, jihadists (including ISIS fighters) and any other individuals suspected of war crimes. This includes Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as he is mainly responsible for all violations and crimes that have occurred.
Inclusion of the Autonomous Administration of Northern and Eastern Syria (Rojava) in the UN-led Constitutional Commission charged with drafting a new constitution for Syria.
Consider implementing the no-fly zone over northern and eastern Syria (Rojava).
Recognition of the autonomy of northern and eastern Syria (Rojava) by international institutions such as the European Union and the United Nations as well as foreign countries.

Trump's Space Command to be based in Colorado, Alabama or California
Posted 11:23 AM, April 6, 2019, by Q13 News Staff, Updated at 11:24AM, April 6, 2019
The Air Force has identified six military bases that could house US Space Command in Colorado, California, and Alabama.
The Air Force has identified the six military bases that could house the military's newest combatant command, US Space Command, according to an Air Force memorandum obtained by CNN.
Four of the proposed locations are located in Colorado. The other two locations are in Alabama and California.
The absence of any Florida-based installations from the finalist list is bound to disappoint members of Congress who publicly advocated for the command to be housed in the Sunshine State.
In December, Republican Sen. Marco Rubio wrote a letter to then-Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis calling for it to be established in Florida and last month during a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee Republican Rep. Michael Waltz urged acting Secretary of Defense Pat Shanahan to locate it there.
Following Waltz' comments, Democratic Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado joked: "With all due respect to my colleague from Florida, Colorado is a mile closer to space than Florida is and a great place for space assets."
The six finalist locations are Buckley Air Force Base, Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Station, Peterson Air Force Base, and Schriever Air Force Base — all in Colorado — as well as the Army's Redstone Arsenal in Alabama and Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
Despite the memo seeming to say that the findings had been approved by Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson, an Air Force spokesperson told CNN that a list of basing candidates has not yet even been sent to Wilson for approval.
The memo also says that "the projected manpower" for United States Space Command is 1,450 personnel, including 390 military officers, 183 enlisted personnel, 827 civilians and 50 contractors.
The Air Force did not dispute the list of bases.
About 350 of those personnel will be drawn from the existing Joint Force Space Component Command, which is currently part of US Strategic Command.
Trump nominated Air Force Gen. John Raymond, who currently leads Air Force Space Command, to head the new Space Command last month.
The Air Force's analysis used a set of criteria to determine where the command was to be housed, which included cost, co-location with an existing military organization that will become a component of the future Space Command, access to a C-17 aircraft capable airfield, communications connectivity, administrative buildings and available base support.
"Placing United States Space Command on a Department of Defense space installation will align the command with critical space force expertise and provide resident military, civilian, and commercial space manpower for United States Space Command recruiting and retention," a document attached to the memo said.
The memo also identifies the existing military component organizations that will be assigned to US Space Command: the Joint Navigation Warfare Center at Kirtland Air Force Base, the Missile Warning Center at Cheyenne Mountain, the Joint Overhead Persistent Infrared Center at Buckley Air Force Base, the National Space Defense Center at Schriever, the Combined Space Operations Center at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Air Force Space Command at Peterson Air Force Base, Space and Missile Defense Command at Redstone Arsenal and US Fleet Cyber command/United States Tenth Fleet at Fort Meade.
Shanahan has said that the establishment of Space Command should be given priority with regards to Trump's proposed Space Force, calling the command "the easiest and most impactful" of the various aspects of the Force.
Trump directed the establishment of Space Command in December, making it only the 11th unified combatant command.
Unlike the establishment of a separate service, the command required less congressional involvement and is seen as less controversial.
The proposed Space Force will fall under the Air Force and have a relationship akin to the US Marine Corps' relationship to the Department of the Navy.
The Space Force's creation is part of the Trump administration's 2020 defense budget request to Congress.
The Senate Armed Services Committee will hold a hearing next week on the Space Force featuring Shanahan and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Joseph Dunford.

How To Nail Your Next Ultramarathon - With Courtney Dauwalter
Athlete:
Courtney Dauwalter
courtneydauwalter
The 2022 edition of the world-renowned UTMB kicks off tomorrow.
The host town of Chamonix is alive and there's a distinct buzz in the air in the build-up to this legendary race, as everyone asks: who will take the most sought-after crown in trail running?
And as the toughest trail runners on the planet congregate to take on the gruelling 171 km race (with a cool +10,040m of elevation), it's hard not to feel inspired. But how are the pros doing it? Is there a 'winning recipe' and if so, what is it? We couldn't think of anyone better to ask than the current UTMB course record holder and Team SunGod athlete, Courtney Dauwalter. For Courtney, the recipe isn't all geared around complex training plans and a PhD in nutrition. It's about having the correct mindset and listening to your body.
Read on to discover Courtney's tips to run further, get stronger, feel fitter, and race faster - and find out nailing an ultra isn't as complicated (or expensive) as you might think...
We get the inside knowledge from the toughest, fastest runner in the business: UTMB course record holder and world no.1, Courtney Dauwalter.
First up, training. How do you make it work with no coach and no set training regime?
"I was really fortunate to grow up with fantastic coaches in both cross-country running and cross-country skiing. They taught me a lot about how to train, how to show up ready to rumble on race day, and how to have a whole lot of fun while working hard.
When I got into ultrarunning, I took what I already knew about training and racing, and just tried to apply the same principles to these new distances and races. The training is part of the ultrarunning puzzle - I'm loving trying to put that together on my own."
"The training is part of the ultrarunning puzzle - I'm loving trying to put that together on my own."
- Courtney on success without a coach or a strict training regime
"I was really fortunate to grow up with fantastic coaches in both cross-country running and cross-country skiing. They taught me a lot about how to train, how to show up ready to rumble on race day, and how to have a whole lot of fun while working hard."
Without a training regime, what happens on the days when you just don't feel like it?
"While days like this don't happen very often, they are really important check-in days for me when I try to tune in to my body and my brain. I stop, listen, and try to respond to what they are asking for.
For example, if I wake up feeling really run down physically or mentally, I'll do an internal check-in with myself about why I might be feeling that way. When was my last rest day? What have I been doing lately? How far off is my next race and should I keep pushing the gas pedal down through this tired feeling?
Depending on those answers, I'll either decide to put on my running shoes to give it a shot, or put on my sweatpants and pick out some movies for the day."

How do you fit other types of training, like strength, into your day-to-day?
"I got injured a few years ago - it was tough. However, a perk from the recovery process was that my physio taught me all about the importance of simple strength and activation exercises. These help keep my body happy as I ask it to do more and more miles.
So now, I do a 30-45 minute strength routine every day before my first run. I focus primarily on my core, glutes and hips, and mostly rely on body weight exercises like planks and squats to keep my body for action."
"I try to tune in to my body and my brain. I stop, listen, and try to respond to what they are asking for."
What goes through your mind when you're deep in the pain cave?
"When I get to the entrance of the pain cave, I try to frame it as a celebration. One of the reasons I sign up for these really long races is so that I can find the pain cave, and try to come out the other side better off for the visit. So, by thinking of it as a place I want to get to, it makes it less daunting when it actually arrives. Once I'm inside, I imagine going into the back corners of the cave with a chisel and working to make the cave even bigger.
Mantras also help in those tough moments. Repeating something simple and positive can keep our heads in the game when it gets hard. I usually go with "You're fine. This is fine. Everything is fine.""
"Once I'm inside [the pain cave], I imagine going into the back corners of the cave with a chisel and working to make the cave even bigger."
- Courtney's methods for coping with the pain of ultrarunning
We've heard rumours of your 1-minute mid-race nap. Is it true? Let's talk all things sleep…
"[laughs] It's true… I love sleep! I typically sleep between 7 and 9 hours per night. During the longer races that take more than two days, I'll usually find myself needing to take some quick power-naps during the race itself. I've tried everything from 1 minute to 20 minute naps while on the trail.
I'm really intrigued by this aspect of long events - what sorts of naps work best to get you recharged and moving again. I definitely still have a lot to learn."
"When I get to the entrance of the pain cave, I try to frame it as a celebration."
Now, the UTMB. How did it feel when you crossed the finish line last year, and realised you'd set a new course record?
"I was so excited to have made it around this gigantic loop in the Alps and to be greeted by all the people in town, and having my husband at the finish line made it very special. I didn't know the actual record while I was running, so when I crossed the line I didn't know if I had gotten it, but I wasn't thinking about that. I was just trying to soak in the sights and the sounds of this big adventure.
I'm not racing the UTMB this year, mixing up the race schedule keeps it fun! There are so many other incredible races I would love to try. But I'm excited to watch everyone else. UTMB is such an incredible race in a beautiful place, I'm pumped for everyone taking on this challenge."
And finally, for the first-timers out there… what are your top 3 tips for people thinking about entering their first ultra?
"Go for it! This sport is so cool - you're going to love it. A few top tips:
Be patient and consistent with your training.
Focus on a steady build up in distance.
Ask questions. Find out what people eat, what gear they recommend, how they prevent blisters or chaffing, any other tips.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. I have found the ultrarunning community to be SO helpful. And have fun!"
"A lot of people have asked me why I'm not racing the UTMB this year; put simply, mixing up the race schedule keeps it fun!"
Of course, there are no shortcuts to success and no magic recipe. But there is a lot to be said about the emphasis Courtney places on the simplicity of running and a healthy mindset. The best part is, her advice applies to any level of runner, regardless of their time, fitness or resources.
If you're feeling inspired by Courtney's words of wisdom, take to the trails and see what happens. But before you do, make sure you're kitted out with SunGod Ultras™ : our first sunglasses designed specifically for runners.
We'll see you out there!

In an effort to combat excessive traffic around the school during drop off and pick up times, then principal, Cathy Bozzini, decided to close the school parking lot during the 2014-2015 school year and offer parents a safe alternative to driving their children to school by starting three staff-led Walking School Bus (WSB) routes.
During the first year implementing the Walking School Buses, school staff led an average of 45 children to and from school daily on three routes, rain or shine. As a departure from volunteer-led Walking School Buses, the school decided to use school staff to ensure continuity and availability to lead the routes every day. Parents liked having school staff lead the WSB's because both the parents and the students know the staff. Since the program began, the school has had fewer traffic concerns and the children walking are getting more exercise.
Now in its 4th year, the program is part of the school culture and popular with parents and their children who participate. While the program continues to remain popular, the Walking School Bus now has one route led by two parent volunteers who walk with students every day, to and from school, rain or shine.
Kudos to the Callison administrators for its commitment to continue providing parents a safe and dependable alternative for getting their children to and from school.
Note: The WSB is currently on hiatus, but will resume in December 2018 or January 2019.
WOW (Walk or Wheel) Wednesdays.
Principal Cicely Rodda has ardently supported the SR2S program for numerous years at Padan Elementary and during the 2016-2017 school year, she undertook the challenge to start WOW Wednesdays for the school's 600 plus students. Wanting to get her students active in an on-going walking and biking program, she launched the WOW (Walk or Wheel) Wednesday program in March 2016. She worked with her teaching staff to get their support and use their prep time to meet the students at three different meeting spots to encourage them to keep walking, biking or riding scooters to school and give the kids much coveted charms for their efforts. To publicize and promote the weekly event, Mrs. Rodda had signs and a banner put up around campus, sent information to parents and posted information on the school website. According to Cicely, the kids are excited about the program and it's gaining in popularity.
The school has consistently been involved in numerous SR2S activities and programs making Padan one of the top schools in the county in participation last year. In addition to WOW Wednesdays, Padan participated in a Bike Rodeo, the SR2S Poster Contest, International Walk to School Day, Bike to School Day, and twice-yearly student travel surveys in Oct. 2016 and May 2017.
On Bike to School Day last May, Mrs. Rodda welcomed Supervisor John Vasquez, who presented two Padan students, who were 2017 Poster Contest winners, with gift certificates. The event was featured in a front page story in the Vacaville Reporter.
WOW Wednesdays are continuing in the 2017-2018 school year with school staff and a volunteer grandparent greeting students every Wednesday as they walk, bike or ride their scooters to school.


Today's card is for the Kenny K's Krafty Krews challenge. As a result this challenge brought out my feminine side with the use of shinny rhinestones, while the Super Mom image from Kenny K provided the strength and power behind us women. In any event the two aspects came together beautifully.

Q: What's the difference between rosé and "blush" wine?
A: Same same, but different. With longer days and the promise of warmer weather upon us, pink-hued wines are again top of mind.
There are essentially three ways of making a pink coloured wine.
Very pale rosé wine. Red wine grapes are lightly pressed and that pressed juice is fermented (without skins) just like white winemaking. The result is a very lightly pigmented wine with an almost greyish hue and delicate flavours.
Red wine grapes are crushed, but the juice and the skins remain in contact for a short time (2 hours- 2 days) until the desired shade of pink is achieved. A portion of the juice is "bled off" the skins. That juice is then fermented on its own and this is becomes rosé. Side note – the juice that remains in contact with the skins goes on to make a red wine.
3 – Blending white wine and red wine together. Some people may consider this cheating but it is a method used for making the Champagne rosé and many new world rosé wines.
So, where does blush fit in?
A "blush" wine refers to the sweet 1980's Californian creation known as "White Zinfandel". Blush wines are actually made by using dark-skinned grapes, a little bit of skin contact for colour, and then fermenting that juice without skins just like a Vin Gris.
What's different is the style of the wine. Blush infers a jammy, fruit-forward and fairly sweet pink wine, while a rosé presumes that wine has a dry, fresh palate with as well as delicate aromatics and flavours.

EU - Meeting on 23 February, MEPs on the Agriculture Committee backed a study launched into a new 'European quality logo', which would be reserved "exclusively for agricultural goods resulting entirely from production in the EU".
This would allow producers to display "their commitment to quality, food safety and respect of all European standards". They were debating a plethora of European Commission proposals to modernise food labelling amid a future overhaul of the Common Agricultural Policy.
The recommendations came in a report drafted by Italian European Freedom and Democracy Member Giancarlo Scotta, that was debated and voted on in Parliament's Agriculture Committee.
MEPs also supported a mandatory 'place of farming' indication if possible and if it does not included excess costs. This would apply to products where 50 per cent of ingredients are farmed or where marketing indicates what it is, for example orange juice it would say where the oranges were from but not the water or other ingredients that go into it.
The Committee also want the 'Traditional Specialties guaranteed' indication to be retained, despite the European Commission saying that it does not work.
MEPs are supportive of the new organic logo which was recently chosen by the public after a public competition. However, they want a greater and clearer definition of what actually constitutes 'organic'.

I'm currently in North Carolina about 3.5 hours away from the coast. My club is open all weekend despite the hurricane and is even throwing a hurricane party on the hardest hitting day. Honestly we have high chances of flooding and I'm certainly not working on Friday or Saturday in case power goes out or the roads flood before heading home. I just got back from out of town and I'm wondering if $$ has slowed down this week due to hurricane warnings or if there hasnt really been much difference? I'm considering working tonight since it's still sunny and dry here for another day or two, but I have a feeling it might be extra slow. Who knows though....some people inland are acting like its no big deal at all whereas others are freaking out and even leaving town.
Everyone on the east coast stay safe!
Stay safe! Pleas let us know your okay. I have danced with tornado sirens going off. Money is hit in miss in severe weather. I mean the club didn't make us work, but all you can do during a tornado is go into the bathroom and hold on to the toilet.

Returns Cost Retailers More Than They Should
According to a study from the National Retail Federation, nearly 11% of online returns (worth an estimated $23 billion dollars) are fraudulent.
What's more shocking?—It's often a retailer's best customers who are contributing to this loss by gaming return policies. In fact, 65% of consumers admit to taking advantage of retailer return rules.
From lying about return reasons to wardrobing (e.g., buying a dress for a party, wearing it, and then returning it after the event), these small but frequent abuses of return policies erode fragile margins for retailers.
Why do consumers bend return rules?
Put plainly, most shoppers bend the rules when it comes to returns out of laziness. In other words, many retailer return policies are so relaxed that shoppers aren't motivated to do the right thing, whether that's staying inside the return window or accurately disclosing their reason for return.
A smaller subset of consumers are more malicious in their return policy abuse. These shoppers will return ineligible items, return items bought at a discount without the receipt to get a refund for the full price, return products but keep the "gift with purchase", and more.
How do consumers justify their rule-bending behavior?
Numbers you should know about return policy abuse
If it weren't such a hassle, 40% of consumers say they'd "do the right thing" when it comes to returns.
That's the number of rule benders who will click whatever return reason is necessary to obtain free shipping.
Nearly 1 out of 4 rule benders will return a purchase without a receipt by falsely claiming the item "was a gift."
That's the number of return policy rule breakers who will ship back ineligible items (e.g., final sale, outside return window, etc.) to the retailer.
Nearly 21% of rule bending customers will abuse "instant refund" policies to obtain refunds on illegible returns.
Of rule benders return items bought on sale or at a discount without the receipt in the hopes of obtaining a higher refund.
The good news?—Most rule-bending behavior is preventable
As a matter of fact, more than 80% of it can be stopped before it starts.
Almost all shoppers agree the following basic measures would dissuade them from abusing retailers return policies:
Providing an easy way to report extra items included in a delivery
Offering more convenient return options (e.g., home pickup, boxless/printerless returns, and nearby drop off locations)
Requiring an account login or order number to process the return
Allowing shoppers to process returns online
Requiring photographic proof of damage

Die betekenis wat geld vir blankes en kleurlinge inhou.
A survey of the literature indicates that money (which is an important concept in a number of theories of work motivation) could mean different things to different people. Since this difference can be ascribed to early life experiences and personal factors, it could be expected that Coloureds and Whites would differ with respect to their evaluation of money. A semantic differential administered to 128 white and 109 coloured students, however, revealed no significant differences in general. The two groups differed significantly on only 2 of the 15 semantic scales.

Q: PHP Generating Post Data So I have a registration page where the user registers with all his/her information and then when they click submit, I have the action of the form set as action="Scripts/Insert.php.
What insert does is simply take all the inputted information and insert it into my database. After that, I need to redirect them to another site where they can pay. But I need to post some data to the following site. For security reasons I HAVE to send it through POST and not session. I tried inserting the required information into the post array inside or Insert.php but the post array got cleared when I redirected. So Insert looks something like this:
$gen = new Generator();
$_POST["SITEID"] = 3;

//Validation Key Generator
$_POST["TransactionID"] = $gen->keygen(10);
$_POST["Amount"] = 500;
$salt = "somelongstring";
$_POST["VALIDATION_KEY"] = base64_encode(md5($posting_valKey+$_POST["EXT_TRANS_ID"]+$_POST["AMT"]));

//Use PDO to insert previous page form information into the database

header("Location: www.paymentsite.com/index.jsp");

But like I said the post gets erased so nothing gets sent to the site. So how do I generate some post data here and send it to the site? I was thinking of a possible solution being to echo a html form with hidden fields that has these values but then there were two problems with that:

*

*How to i use the variables in the input values? Could I do this:
echo "<input type='hidden' value="$salt" name='salt'>"

*And then how do I submit the form?
If my solutions sucks please let me know any other way(s) of posting from a php to another website. Thanks.

A: Have you looked into cURL?
Do you need to physically push the user to another site or just send the form info there?
If you need to post to the outside site you can just use a hidden field to pass the necessary info. You would change your action parameter to the receiving site www.paymentsite.com/index.jsp
You'd think the payment site would have a basic integration tutorial for you though. If they don't they're probably not worth using.
Just to clarify, the user sends the info of form and hidden fields when they click the submit button. If you make the action point to the receiving site it would take them there automatically. But that might be obvious, so I question the actual needs of your site. Do you post to yourself first to create a transaction record, reference or something needed by the receiving site? So you know what account to credit the payment to? Can this be done before the page loads?
I guess I just don't know why you post to yourself first. If you update your question with that and perhaps the payment processor you're posting to we might be able to refine the answer

A: You have different possibilities, two of them are Curl and Pecl.

"THE WORLD OF FINE WINE"
The "Wine list" by Tenuta Capofaro (Tasca d'Almerita) is the most innovative in the world of 2022
Alberto Tasca: "it is a wine atlas that emphasizes the geographical connotation, inserting the wine between parallels and meridians"
Salina, 22 September 2022, 21:54
Tenuta Capofaro, one of the Estates of Tasca d'Almerita family
The wine list of Tenuta Capofaro, one of the five Estates of the Tasca d'Almerita family is the most innovative "Wine List of the World" 2022 according to the magazine "The World of Fine Wine", which awards the map with an unusual selection of wines or a particular personality that shapes them, after a rigorous selection made by an international jury made up of world champion sommeliers, master sommeliers, wine master and highly qualified wine writers. " Successful wine lists - says Neil Beckett, historic director of the magazine - demonstrate not only a profound expertise in the sector, but also the experience and passion of their creators". "The importance of the geography of wine is the original message that we wanted to convey through this wine list of our Wine Bar & Restaurant. What makes wine magical, in our opinion, is its ability to describe the place of origin: the wines we like and excite are those capable of expressing their geographical sense.
"The wine list developed by Giulio Bruni is a wine atlas that emphasizes the geographical connotation, placing the wine between parallels and meridians", comments Alberto Tasca, eighth generation of the Tasca d'Almerita family, at the helm of the company.
"When in 2001 we landed in Capofaro to build our hospitality project, we started from the vineyard, from the desire to enhance the most suitable varieties of the territories. Today this award recognizes that work, aimed at making us a point of contact between wine and place. I am happy that once again Sicily is in the Olympus of world wine".
To build the wine list of Capofaro, which has become a unique wine destination and member of Relais & Chateaux, is Giulio Bruni, sommelier of Tasca d'Almerita and head of Tenuta Capofaro, who underlines that there was the "need to return to the concept of Geography of wine, the one introduced by Jacky Rigaux with his treatise on "Geo-Sensory Tasting". This card is a small enographic atlas given by the need to transfer the values of the place where the wine is born; a selection of producers who, in line with our values, respect the identity of the territory in which they operate. After years of collaborations for the drafting of some wine lists, arrived in Sicily, the Mediterranean immediately made it clear to me that those somewhat rigid schemes with which the wine lists had always been conceived, with the classic distinction between white/red/sparkling wines, they no longer belonged to me ", says Bruni.

John Cena Officially Joins Cast Of Suicide Squad Sequel
Who will he play?
13 September, 2019 9:11 PM
Director James Gunn is developing quite the working relationship with former WWE champions.
After working with Dave Batista (as Drax the Destroyer) across several films as director or producer, Gunn will now be directing one of Batista's old Ohio Valley classmates.
John Cena has joined the cast for the sequel to 2016's Suicide Squad. The follow-up is due to be released in August of 2021.
Gunn tweeted out an image of various castmember names for the Suicide Squad sequel that he is set to direct, captioned, "Don't get too attached. #TheSuicideSquad". Cena is listed among those names, alongside numerous stars of the first movie, including Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, and Jay Hernandez.
Cena's role has not been confirmed, although it's been rumored for some time that he was in talks to play the part of Peacemaker, a pacifist ironically driven to kill in the name of peace.
Cena's upcoming filmography also includes the ninth Fast and the Furious movie, scheduled for a May 2020 release.

Rewarding portrait of a Dutch designer of gardens to contemplate
Walter Addiego June 26, 2018Updated: July 2, 2018, 9:37 am

Piet Oudolf is an influential Dutch designer of gardens renowned for his work at prominent sites like New York's High Line and Lurie Garden in Chicago's Millennium Park. His landscapes are marked by the use of perennials in a way that de-emphasizes traditional color bursts and the need for high maintenance. He says his designs are about "emotion, atmosphere, a sense of contemplation."
His work is front and center in "Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf," directed by Thomas Piper, a specialist in documentaries about artists (among them Eric Fischl and Sol LeWitt). The Oudolf film grew out of Piper's 2012 movie about the High Line.
The ample footage we see of Oudolf's creations — mixing slow pans, drone shots, wide angles and time-lapse — make it clear, even to non-experts, why he is celebrated. There's a soft and ethereal quality to his gardens, partly achieved through delicate use of wildflowers and grasses. To Oudolf, a garden's autumnal decline is as important as its state in any other season and is a trademark focus of his work.
Among the most rewarding sequences are those showing Oudolf working out his designs on drafting paper, outlining varying plant areas with colored pens and using different layers to reflect seasonal changes. The drawings are delightful and have themselves been the subject of an exhibition.
Piper takes the time to show us how Oudolf finds inspiration, often in his frequent travels to the United States, where we see him walking in rural Pennsylvania and driving through the Texas hills. Oudolf's commentary during these journeys is wry and revealing — he is in the main a pleasant sort, though he certainly can't be accused of having a shortage of ego.
Two featured locations are particularly memorable. One is Oudolf's own garden in the Dutch village of Hummelo, where he has tested his designs and even developed new perennials. The house has become a mecca for gardeners (by the way, 2018 is the last year it will be open to the public). The other site is an old farm in western England that is being developed as an artists' colony. Oudolf did all the landscaping, but the showcase is a perennial meadow called Oudolf Field.
Oudolf mentions in passing that his goal has been to create landscapes "you would dream of, but would never find" in nature, and from what we see in this movie, that's just what he's done.
MFive Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf: Documentary. Directed by Thomas Piper. Not rated. 74 minutes.

If you're in the market for replacement windows, you've likely focused on choosing the style and material type that best matches your home. Another key feature to consider is which type of glass will help your home stay most comfortable in every season. Glass can influence the amount of heat or cold that gets inside and contribute to energy efficiency.
A key feature of our Low-E insulating glass is that it can include argon. But what is argon? We get that a lot.
A simple response is that argon is a colorless, nontoxic gas that's denser than air. It's the third most abundant atmospheric gas, and it doesn't react with other elements. Argon also has low thermal conductivity, which means heat does not easily transfer across it. This makes the gas great to use as a form of insulation in glass because it slows down the transfer of hot air into your home during the warmer months and slows down the transfer of heat out of your home in the winter.
At Pella, we understand that window and door glass needs differ by the region of the country that you're located in. That's why we sell glass options for the climate and weather in Gaithersburg. Just look through our energy efficient glass options for more details. When you choose glass for your windows and patio doors that uses insulating argon, you can rest easy knowing you've made a decision that will help increase the comfort and reduce the energy expenses for your home. And that feels pretty good.
Pella offers windows and patio doors with advanced Low-E double-pane glass and that are ENERGY STAR® qualified so you can take advantage of energy efficiency and comfort from the start. Want to know more about how your glass choice will affect your home? Call our Pella Window and Door Showroom in Gaithersburg for an in-home consultation or to find out more about your next window replacement.

Carlos Fernando Navarro Montoya (born 26 February 1966) is a retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper. Born in Colombia, Navarro Montoya represented the Colombia national team three times, and gained Argentine citizenship later in his career.

During a professional career which spanned 25 years, he represented teams in Argentina, Colombia, Spain, Chile, Brazil and Uruguay, appearing for 15 clubs (mainly Boca Juniors) and totalling more than 800 games across all competitions.

Club career
Nicknamed El Mono (monkey) whilst in Argentina, Navarro Montoya was born in Medellín, Colombia, and he started playing professionally in the former country at only 18, with Club Atlético Vélez Sarsfield. In 1988, after one year in his homeland with Independiente Santa Fe, he joined Boca Juniors, where he would rarely miss a game in nearly ten years – never played in fewer than 35 matches in his full seasons – also setting club records of consecutive games (180) and minutes without conceding a goal (824), and eventually appearing in 396 official games for the Xeneizes. His last appearance, however, ended in defeat, 1–3 at Club Atlético Banfield.

In January 1997, aged almost 31, Montoya joined CF Extremadura in La Liga, suffering relegation with that and his following two teams, CP Mérida and CD Tenerife, also in the first division. After a brief spell in Chile with Club Deportes Concepción, he returned to Argentina and played top-flight football for Chacarita Juniors, Club Atlético Independiente (after the promotion of youngster Óscar Ustari, the 39-year-old did not see his contract renewed) and Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, during five seasons combined.

Montoya rarely settled with a team in the following years, playing in his country of adoption but also in Brazil and Uruguay. On 10 July 2009, at the age of 43, he announced his retirement from professional football, stating: "It is 'goodbye', but also 'thank you'".

International career
As a naturalized Argentine, Navarro wanted to represent its national team, but was denied from doing so by FIFA because he had already played for Colombia in three 1986 FIFA World Cup qualifiers – two against the same opponent, Paraguay – conceding four goals.

In 1998 FIFA relented and allowed the player a special dispensation to play for Argentina but, at the age of 32, he was considered too old and never represented his adopted nation.

Coaching career
Montoya's first managerial experience was in Chacarita Juniors, from where he was sacked after only one win in six matches.

In December 2013 he returned to Boca Juniors, this time as deputy director of the youth divisions and youth coach. He covered several roles, until he left his position on 16 September 2020. On 23 September 2020 he took over the Club Deportivo Guadalajara of the Tercera División in Spain, but was dismissed on 24 November after only five league games.

Last weekend's La Liga, Barcelona lost to Alaves. The defeat to Barcelona should be vigilant. This summer, Barcelona invested over 120 million euros in signing. They signed Umtiti, Andre Gomez, Denis Suarez and other young player.
However, these players are absolutely not superstars. It will have two potential consequences. First of all, in order to give new aids enough playing time, Enrique need to change team's position frequently. Most of these players have a gap in the strength of the main routine, which may cause a situation like the game against Alaves.
In addition, so many new aids will further squeeze local Barcelona youth academy players' growth. Once these new aids can not achieve the desired performance, which will bring Barcelona multi-faceted attack.

Microsoft puts the final nail in Windows 10 Mobile's coffin
Image Courtesy: TheNextWeb
On January 14 2020, Windows 10 Mobile reached End of Life (EOL) and the last cumulative update is now available. Microsoft is currently rolling out Windows 10 Mobile Build 15254.603 to phones like Lumia 950 or HP Elite x3, and Microsoft has shipped the final update without a proper changelog as well.
Windows 10 Mobile Build 15254.603, which is the last update for the OS, comes with security fixes and general improvements. The official changelog points to desktop release notes, which implies that Microsoft may have fixed security bugs affecting Windows Kernel, Windows Input and Composition, and other components.
Four years after Microsoft released the last Windows Phone flagship, Microsoft has now confirmed that Windows 10 Mobile has reached the end of all support. You can still use your Windows Phone but various apps such as WhatsApp may not work.
After today, you can still back up your device, settings and data of certain apps, but these features will be scrapped on March 10th, 2020. Some backup features including photo uploads may continue to work for up to 12 months.
Although Microsoft is not treating the Office Mobile apps for Windows 10 as a priority, they're planning to support the apps on Windows 10 Mobile for another year. Support for Office apps will end in January 2021 and the apps will receive important security updates for at least one year.
Microsoft: Switch to Android or iOS
Microsoft has been recommending Windows 10 Mobile users to switch to a supported Android or iOS device.
Microsoft is actively developing and updating apps for other mobile platforms, and the company offers a wide range of apps including a dedicated launcher for Android.
Microsoft has also created an app called 'Your Phone' that preserves the most important features of an Android phone: messages, notifications, and calls. You don't need to take out your phone from your pocket to access its contents when you're working on Windows 10.
Currently, Your Phone app allows you to access photos stored in Android phone from PC, it also lets you access your text messages, initiate calls, and as well as mirror Android screen. Eventually, Your Phone platform will also support documents sharing with Windows 10 computers.

Cassini catches Janus joining other Saturnian moons in the equinox shadow-casting party.
As Saturn approaches its August 2009 equinox, the planet's moons cast shadows onto the rings. To learn more about this special time and to see a movie of a moon's shadow moving across the rings, see PIA11651. Janus (179 kilometers, 111 miles across) is not visible, but its shadow stretches across Saturn's A and F rings. Three background stars are visible in the image.
This view looks toward the sunlit side of the rings from about 21 degrees below the ringplane. The image was taken in visible light with the Cassini spacecraft narrow-angle camera on May 10, 2009. The view was acquired at a distance of approximately 965,000 kilometers (599,000 miles) from Saturn and at a Sun-Saturn-spacecraft, or phase, angle of 46 degrees. Image scale is 5 kilometers (3 miles) per pixel.
