I got bumped again! This time I had an *awesome* gate agent!
As I mentioned yesterday, I was flying from Washington Dulles to Tampa, and both my mom and I got bumped off the flight in exchange for $400 in travel credits each. As I briefly explained, the experience was less than stellar. Well, this afternoon we flew from Washington Dulles to Chicago to Tampa (the most direct routing home), and they needed volunteers on the Chicago to Tampa flight. I volunteered, while my mom couldn't, since she had an important appointment tomorrow morning.
Of course I went with the latter, and after bidding my mom farewell, was off to the hotel. At check-in I showed my Royal Ambassador card (top tier status with InterContinental), and asked if they'd honor elite benefits. The agent gladly obliged, so now I'm sitting in a lovely suite with a free minibar and free internet while I wait for my flight tomorrow morning.
Life's not too shabby right now! Just gotta hope I make it out of here by Wednesday, so I can still make it to Maui.
How do you always get bumped? I'm 0-fer on UA for the last couple years despite travelling during pretty desirable times of the year. Any tips in particular?
you are lucky again to have the PCRAMB full benefit using a hotel voucher.
Nicely done, sir! I'll be rolling the VDB dice tomorrow on BOS-SFO.
I got bumped twice,yesterday and today I'm happy too.

The Kardashians (as much as we hate to admit it) have sort of become America's version of the royal family. We know everything about them, their lives are plagued with drama, and we all personally relate to at least one of them. After all, for 10 years now, Keeping Up With the Kardashians has given us an up-close and personal view of the family and their many quirks. From chill homebodies like Kourtney Kardashian to attention-starved extroverts like Kim Kardashian, the massive family covers a surprising range of personality types. And whether you're a fan of the show or just a horrified bystander, you've probably wondered at least once, which Kardashian are you? Are you cute and natural like Kendall Jenner or an over-the-top trendsetter like Kylie Jenner?
In case you're wondering where's Rob Kardashian, we intentionally left him off. Besides being reclusive, a trait directly linked to his battle with anxiety and depression, we couldn't think of a humorous way to incorporate him that wouldn't poke fun at his real issues, and we're not here to make light of anything he has gone through. So sorry, Rob! We were also seriously thinking of including North and Kanye West, but figured we should stay loyal to the original KUWTK crew.
And so now you're probably thinking, "Well then why'd you leave out Caitlyn Jenner?" Touché, dear reader. Touché. But honestly, we just straight-up forgot. Considering the majority of the family has severed all ties from her, we don't really consider her a central part of the family unit anymore. It's kind of sad, but what are you going to do? Hey, they're not our family. Although it certainly feels like it sometimes. After all, we should know — we're totally a Khloé.

Q: how to append nothing (not None) in list comprehension? I want to append a string to a list if certain condition happens
some_result = some_check # some_result would have either an empty dict or some content
tag = ['a_tag' if some_result else None]

This would actually append a None to the list, but I want it to append nothing instead. Also tried empty string, empty dict, etc. Doesn't seem like it's working either
EDIT: didn't realize this is not a list comprehension. Thanks for clearing it.

A: What you're doing is not list comprehension. It's the terniary operator inside a list (similar to say, tag = ['something',], whereas list comprehension has a for keyword inside (ref).
An if statement would be the cleanest way to deal with this logic IMO:
tag = []
if some_result:
    tag.append('a_tag')

A: What you had was actually very close to working.
tags = ["t1", "t2"]
some_result = some_check()
tags.append("a_tag") if some_result else None

This appends to tags if some_result is truthy, otherwise leaves it untouched.

The Les Ross-trained Defence Missile can earn another QTIS bonus when he runs at Doomben.
Trainer Les Ross believes tricky barrier draws are the main stumbling blocks to him continuing his outstanding strike rate in QTIS bonus races at Doomben.
QTIS bonus payments are paid to eligible Queensland-bred horses in two and three-year-old races throughout the state.
Ross was second on the QTIS list last season with his horses picking up $140,000 in bonus payments and this season his youngsters have already earned about $50,000.
It is a great effort from Ross who rarely has horses in his stable who brought more than $20,000 at the yearling sales.
He has Defence Missile in Saturday's QTIS Three-Year-Old Handicap (1110m) and Concealed Dynamite in the QTIS Two-Year-Old Handicap (1200m) at Doomben.
Defence Missile was bought out of a paddock for $12,000 and has won $268,850 including $97,700 in QTIS money.
He won three QTIS races in a row last year and was an unlucky fifth behind Archer's Paradox at the Sunshine Coast first up.
Concealed Dynamite cost $6000 as a yearling and has run three minor placings and a fourth in four starts for $20,000.
Ross said the QTIS bonus system had been a great boost for Queensland racing.
"It gives battlers like me a chance and I target the QTIS races,"he said.
"Defence Missile has the outside barrier which makes it very hard. At this stage we will run but it depends on the weather, he likes wet tracks, and other scratchings.
The filly is at an outsider with the Chris Waller-trained Bigboyroy the odds-on favourite.
Waller operates stables in three states and his Gold Coast manager Paul Shailer believes the colt can step up to better races after a solid second on debut.
"We think the 1200 metres will suit and Bigboyroy is a very nice horse. He looks to have a bright future," he said.
Bigboyroy is a $120,000 yearling by Dissident and is yet another nice horse raced by Noel Greenhalgh.
A strong effort on Saturday could mean he goes to feature races over the winter carnival.

Nice And Easy Hair Dye Review In spite of all of the specialized niche hair salons which have already been popping up, from braid bars to blow-out salons into braid studios, skilled hair dye jobs still induce the wonder industry. But we've been rethinking the treatment after becoming scarred via this attractiveness terror narrative.
We inquired decorative chemist Ni'Kita Wilson, chief executive director of Catalyst beauty progress and Elizabeth Cunnane Phillips,'' Philip Kingsley's trichological professional, to describe what hair dye is now performing to your own hair.
Hair dye has a couple of barriers it has to overcome before it blows off the colour upon your own hair. "It should become ready to enter the hair shaft, and also obstruction one is the cuticle, that's the hair of hair protection," explains Wilson. "Should you presume tree bark contains that outside covering, then that's how exactly our cuticle acts. Therefore for [dye] to penetrate through the cuticle, then it needs to be raised ." Spread , ammonia. This chemical elevates the pH of the entire scalp, and in doing that the cuticle lifts and calms. "The issue with this really is when you've disturbed the cuticle, the harm has started as the cuticle is not supposed to be raised," says Wilson.
Allergies to hair dye are pretty frightful, however they are also scarce. "It is estimated that four one million individuals are sensitive to hair dyes. However they can happen, and so you ought to become careful," says Cunnane Phillips. "The small percentage of risk has a tendency to set off people from doing a patch test, but we can not stress enough the value of performing a test for risk-free colouring."
Why will there be a concern that hair dyes may lead to cancer?
Many people in the USA and Europe utilize hair dyes. It is estimated more than one-third of females on the age 18 and roughly 10 percent of adult men over the age 40 utilize a hair dye.
Modern day hair dyes are categorized as lasting (or amino ), semipermanenttemporary. Permanent hair dyesthat make up roughly 80 percent of currently promoted goods, consist of colourless dye"intermediates" (chemicals known as aromatic amines) and dye"couplers." |} At the presence of hydrogen peroxide, the intermediates and also couplers respond with each other to form pigment molecules. Darker colours are created by utilizing high doses of intermediates. Semi-permanent and short-term hair dyes are nonoxidative and include colored compounds which stain baldness directly.
More than 5,000 unique chemicals are used in hair dye solutions, a number of which are reported to be carcinogenic (cancer-causing) in animals (2--4). Because so many men and women utilize hair dyes, scientists have experimented with to ascertain whether contact with the chemicals in hair colouring services and products is associated with a heightened probability of cancer in humans.
Nice And Easy Hair Dye Review Early hair dye formulations contained chemicals, including aromatic amines which were utilized to induce cancer in animals. In the mid century - the late 1970 s, however, suppliers shifted the elements in dye services and products to get rid of a few of the substances (2, 3, 5). It is not known whether some of these chemicals still utilised in hair dyes might lead to cancer. Considering that the widespread use of hair dye products, even a small increase in threat can have a considerable public wellness impact.
A number of reports have investigated the relationship between the personal usage of hair dyes as well as the danger of NHL, with conflicting results. Due to the small size of several studies may have limited their capacity to detect a connection between hair dye use and cancer, even a pooled (combined) investigation of four case-control studies had been carried out (8). All four studies had obtained detailed information on hair dye usage, for example dates and length of usage, and NHL subtype. The pooled analysis contained 4,461 ladies with NHL along with 5,799 girls who did not have NHL. The outcome of the study showed that women who began utilizing hair dye earlier 1980 had a marginally (30%) greater risk of NHL compared with all girls who had never applied hair dye, while no such increase in risk was found for females who began utilizing hair dye after 1980.
When the investigators examined the hazards of various special NHL subtypesthey unearthed that hair dye end users had raised odds of both follicular lymphoma and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma. For the large part, the gains were limited to females who began utilizing hair dye previously 1980, although an larger probability of follicular lymphoma was discovered among women who started utilizing dark-coloured dyes after 1980. Although these results are in accord with the notion the hair dyes are somewhat significantly more carcinogenic, it's likewise possible the lack of raised risks for hair dye people that began utilizing dyes after 1980 reveals lower accumulative exposure ranges or insufficient time since first exposure for any increase in hazard to develop into apparent.
What is the evidence that hair dye usage is associated with risk of leukaemia?
Scientific tests of this association between hair dye usage and the probability of leukaemia have had conflicting results. By way of example, one case-control study analyzed hair dye usage among 769 people using adult acute leukaemia and also 623 persons without leukaemia in the United States and Canada (9). It discovered the risks of acute leukaemia were high than end users of earlier formulations of both permanent and nonpermanent (i.e., semi-permanent and non permanent ) dyes compared to those who had used dyes, although the gains weren't statistically important. No risk gains were noticed one of the of recent dye formulations. The danger was greatest between people who had used long lasting dyes for extended durations (15 or even more years).
However, a case-control examine in Italy found no connection between usage of permanent hair dye general and threat of leukaemia, although consumers of black everlasting stains, although none of additional colour dyes, but didn't have a heightened hazard. In this study, nevertheless, did not collect advice on the frequency or timing of hair dye usage Nice And Easy Hair Dye Review.

Israel begins gas exports through Egypt

Israel began pumping natural gas to Egypt for the first time Wednesday under a $15 billion, 15-year deal to liquefy and re-export the gas to Europe.
It is the first time that Egypt, which in 1979 became the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel, has imported gas from its neighbor.
In a joint statement, Egypt's petroleum ministry and the Israeli energy ministry hailed the move as an "important development that serves the economic interests of both countries."
According to the agreement, which was signed in 2018 and amended at the end of 2019, Israel will export 85 billion cubic meters (bcm) of natural gas from Israel's Leviathan and Tamar reservoirs to Egypt over the next 15 years.
The statement confirmed that the flow of natural gas to Egypt will also enable its export to Europe via liquefied natural gas terminals in the country.
It enables "Israel to transfer quantities of its natural gas to Europe through Egyptian liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants," the joint statement said.
Israel had previously bought gas from Egypt, but land sections of the export pipeline were targeted multiple times by Sinai terrorists in 2011 and 2012. Already a big gas exporter, Egypt's LNG exports more than doubled year on year in 2019 to 4.8 billion cubic meters of gas equivalent, data from S&P Global Platts Analytics showed Tuesday, despite a slowdown in supplies over the autumn.
The gas from Israel's offshore Tamar and Leviathan fields will reach Egypt through the mainly undersea East Mediterranean Gas Company pipeline connecting the Israeli coastal city of Ashkelon with the northern Sinai Peninsula.
Tamar, which began production in 2013, has estimated reserves of up to 238 billion cubic meters (8.4 trillion cubic feet).
Leviathan, which began pumping late last month, is estimated to hold 535 billion cubic meters (18.9 trillion cubic feet) of natural gas, along with 34.1 million barrels of condensate.
The companies operating the two fields – Delek Drilling and Noble Energy – reached a deal in 2018 with Egypt's Dolphinus Holdings to start exporting gas through its well-developed LNG plants.
Delek Drilling's CEO Yossi Abu hailed Wednesday's launch as a "new era in the Middle East energy sector."
Israel's eastern neighbor Jordan – the only other Arab country with which it has signed a peace treaty – has been purchasing gas from the Tamar field on a small scale for three years.
Noble Energy has begun pumping the first supplies of Israeli gas from the Leviathan field to Jordan, Jordan's National Electricity Company (NEPCO) said Jan. 1. The move is part of the terms of a $10 billion deal NEPCO struck with Noble Energy Inc. in 2016, the state-owned power utility said in a statement.
The deal has faced opposition in Jordan where many view Israel as an erstwhile enemy. Activists and parliamentarians have lobbied the government for years with little success in scrapping the purchase.
The government has in recent months kept quiet over the clauses of the deal in the face of negative public opinion and vocal parliamentary opposition that demands the agreement be canceled.

Perfect! Now I could upgrade to gourmet tea guzzler while I slaved over my hot keyboard.


The International women's day 2019, which was celebrated on 8th March, was an amazing day for me, as I celebrated it with one of my favorite brand Ariel and renowned TV personalities – Ravi Dubey & Sargun Mehta, who were also there at the event to witness 'ShareTheLoad' campaign, addressing the importance of Gender Equality. The event held in Delhi and this is the third successful equality campaign by Ariel. In this campaign the brand endorse to teach about the gender equality at home. So that the sons can also be a helping hand to their mother just like the daughters. The brand also organized a screening of 'Captain Marvel' movie and an interactive session with celebrities at the event. It was truly a fruitful day for me and my friends – Indeed, a special day as well.
The celebrity couple shared their viewpoint at the event on the importance of sharing the load. They shared their personal life experiences of how they share the household responsibilities equally to balance in their busy schedule for their successful career. Ravi Dubey candidly credited his mother for teaching him about doing the household activities/duties.
I must say this "Share The Load" campaign is really a brilliant initiative by Ariel India. With this initiative they want to encourage people to share the responsibilities equally at home. Yes that's a good mantra for a happier family. Sharing is caring and it's good to do it together with the support from each other.
As shown in the Captain marvel movie, we woman are truly a superwoman. We are an efficient multitasker and fulfill all our responsibilities perfectly. Meanwhile if we get the support of our dear ones, we can realise our full potential and hence can achieve a lot more. That's what the Ariel's 'Share The Load' Campaign is all about. It questions the thinking that household chores are only a woman's job. Through this campaign Ariel put forwards an idea that is relevant to all the strata of the society and at the same time builds a call for action not merely in the professional world but at home as well.
By seeing this Ariel's #sharetheload video I too realized it is important that we should teach the importance of gender equality to our kids. Like I am sharing some example if we are buying something for our kids like birthday gifts, bags, tiffin boxes etc. we should choose that without any gender bias.
We should always let our kids know that why equality is important between both girls & boys. It's time that everyone should understand that it's not only a women duty to do the household chores but it's the duty of the men also to step up and Share The Load at home with her and make her feel like Superwomen.
Have you too seen the #ShareTheLoad ad by Ariel?
How do you feel about Gender Equality?
Do you feel that laundry responsibility is for women only ?
Do share what's your thoughts regarding this ?

Predators' Trade Deadline Decisions
With less than a month until the NHL trade deadline, most teams already know whether they're buyers or sellers. Are they going to acquire players for a strong cup run? Or are they going to offload their current assets for picks and prospects in preparation for the future?
Well, the decision of whether a team is a buyer or a seller is, obviously and predominately, based on their position in the standings. Bringing in a star or trading one away is sometimes a choice that general managers are aided with.
The same can not be said at this point about the Nashville Predators, who are currently sitting outside of a playoff spot – by a sizeable amount of points – and show no overly convincing signs that they are going to turn things around. Based on their position, it appears the Predators should be sellers. But Nashville has the roster that can and should be in win-now mode.
General manager David Poile made a switch at the head coaching position and launched a somewhat wait-and-see plan, regarding whether he will be preparing for the future or acquiring players who can help propel the Predators over the top this postseason.
David Poile, Nashville Predators, 2019 NHL Draft (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
Every season there's speculation on who could be sporting a different uniform after the deadline and this season is no different. From Sportsnet to TSN to The Hockey News, many outlets have provided who they think fans should keep an eye on from now until the deadline on Feb. 24.
Scroll through every article and you'll spot a common theme, all three of the lists mentioned above include Predators' players. Some more than others, but several think that Nashville could see some significant names leave the Music City before the month of February is over.
So, it seems only fitting to look at the Predators players mentioned and present the case of whether they should and shouldn't be traded.
Craig Smith's career in Nashville could be described as somewhat frustrating. You know he's a talented goalscorer and you know he's top-six forward material. He's shown that skill with five, 20-plus goal seasons, three of which were recorded consecutively. However, when the Predators need a goal, how much confidence do you really have in him?
Smith's a player who can be hard to describe to a new fan or someone unfamiliar with the 30-year-old's professional career. You're not surprised if he comes through clutch in big moments, but at the same time, you're not surprised if he completely lets you down either.
Craig Smith, Nashville Predators Oct. 19, 2017 (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
This season has been another subpar performance, similar to Smith's 2016-17 campaign where he recorded just 29 points despite playing in 78 games. Smith is on pace for 35 points this season. Excluding the lockout-shortened 2012-13 season, only that 2016-17 season will have seen Smith produce less than this year's projected total.
Why the Predators Should Trade Him:
Smith currently makes $4.25 million against the cap. Trading the former fourth-round pick could give the Predators some comfortability when it comes to cap space. As mentioned, Smith is fairly consistent at hitting the 20-goal mark and could fit into a lot of teams' top-six. With the value that he could bring to a contender, trading Smith could result in a valuable return.
Finally, Smith is in the last year of his current deal, making him an unrestricted free agent (UFA) after this season. If the Predators are looking towards next season and beyond it may be better for the Poile to trade Smith for something, rather than lose him for nothing in free agency to a team willing to still pay him close to $4.5 million per season.
Why the Predators Shouldn't Trade Him:
Frankly, many of the reasons listed above could be used as a defense to keep Smith in Nashville, as long as they're happy paying him over $4 million in average annual value.
Having a player who likes to shoot the puck – he has the third most shots on the team – and a player who has the speed to create chances at any moment wouldn't hurt, especially when cold streaks plague some of the top-forwards as seen this season.
Smith is one of the Predators more defensively-responsible forwards. During a season where the goals against have really been scrutinized, Smith has been a bright spot. Among Predators' forwards, the former Wisconsin Badger sits second in plus/minus behind only Nick Bonino and is fourth overall, behind Roman Josi and Ryan Ellis. Can the Predators really afford to take another hit to their defensive game?
This story seems like a tale as old as time in Nashville. What's wrong with Kyle Turris? Why can't he produce to the scale he has for other teams? Why is he being paid so much? Could the Predators trade him?
Needless to say, Turris has had his struggles in Nashville and his salary certainly doesn't reflect the production the Predators are receiving from him. He's eating up a massive portion of the team's cap space and – assuming he stays with the Predators – will continue to do so for many seasons to come. Turris' six-year/$36 million contract still has four more seasons left after 2019-20.

Turris occasionally shows flashes of brilliance and looks like the second center he was supposed to be. Hopes were only heightened when John Hynes took over and a new system was on the horizon. However, his consistency is non-existent. After exciting fans one game, Turris can bring them back down to earth with an uninspiring performance the very next outing.
Turris has an AAV of $6 million. Only three Predators forwards (minimum 20 games) have logged less time on ice than Turris this year. He recorded 23 points last season and is on pace for 36 points this season. Enough said.
Turris is too talented to be less than a 40-point player. You must play a system conducive to your star players and Turris should be included in that group. Considering none of the Predators' top players are having breakout seasons – other than Josi – there doesn't seem like there's anything to lose by changing up the game plan to get Turris in the mix. If the Predators and Turris can turn the corner, the former third-overall pick would be a great player to have on the roster.
Trading Turris would be finally admitting defeat on the 2017 trade. At a certain point you have to call it quits if it's not working, but talk about buying high and selling low. The Predators parted ways with Samuel Girard to acquire Turris, a young offensively-minded defenseman showing a lot of potential. To think that the Predators would receive any significant return for Turris, right now, would be crazy. It would be crazier to think that the Predators would be able to offload his full salary without sweetening the deal with additional picks or players.

It may be worth holding on to Turris a little longer in the hopes that his trade value increases with a new voice leading the team.
Mikael Granlund
Another frustrating return on a trade that was supposedly going to increase the Predators' offensive arsenal. Back-to-back seasons of 69 and 67 points and Mikael Granlund was on pace for another monster season before being traded to Nashville. But as soon as Granlund swapped Minnesota Wild green for Predators gold his point production fell off a cliff.
It was a tumultuous trade deadline for Granlund last season. He was expecting the birth of his first child, with his fiancée still in Minnesota. Granlund only mustered one goal and four assists in the 16 regular-season games he played for the Predators last year. His five points were disappointing, but understandable considering the circumstances.
However, despite having a fresh slate and time to adjust to life with a new team, the results still haven't arrived. Granlund is on pace for 32 points this season, which would be the lowest total of his NHL career, excluding his 2012-13 season where he only laced up for 27 games.
Right now, Granlund still has a lot of value, his resume shows that he's an elite scorer. Just because it didn't work out in Nashville doesn't mean that he's a lost cause, and that logic may be enough for a contending team to make an offer for the pending UFA.
Nashville Predators center Mikael Granlund (Christopher Hanewinckel-USA TODAY Sports)
This is another case of trade him for something now, or risk losing him for nothing in free agency during the summer. Considering Granlund's career has taken a significant slide since arriving in Nashville, it may be extremely difficult to sell him on coming back during the offseason.
Undoubtedly, the Predators don't want to pay just under $6 million AAV for 30 points. Like Turris, Granlund could turn a corner. But there haven't been many signs that he's a fit for the Predators, so when is it time to end the failed experiment?
To start the season there seemed to an unbelievable chemistry with Granlund, Forsberg and Duchene. It was that line combination that sparked the thought that Duchene might have a Hart Memorial Trophy-worthy type season, he had nine points in his first five games, while Forsberg started the season with 15 points through his first 12 games. You have to wonder whether the Predators are a small tweak away from unleashing Granlund's potential, and because of that it may be a big gamble to give up on the Finn.
Granlund was a top-10 pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft and for good reason. If Hynes can get the Granlund that was seen in Minnesota, then trading Kevin Fiala for him seems like more Poile mastery.
Nashville Predators center Mikael Granlund (David Berding-USA TODAY Sports)
These are all massive 'ifs,' and all of them must come to fruition for it to make sense to keep Granlund.
This may be the most puzzling of the bunch considering the player that Nick Bonino has been for the Predators this season. Nevertheless, he made Sportsnet's list as a potential player who could be on the move.
Bonino is like a Swiss Army Knife, he's an excellent utility player and maybe that's why he made the list. When the Predators need a penalty killed, they send out Bonino and in the last few minutes of a one-goal game, they send out Bonino. With his 14 goals – tied for second-most on the team – when they need a goal, the Predators can send out Bonino.
What contending team wouldn't want Bonino? He's built for the playoffs, heck he won two consecutive cups in Pittsburgh. When it comes to experience, Bonino has it, he knows what a winning team looks like and most importantly, what it takes to be a member of one.
He might have the most value of all the players that the Predators could reasonably part with. Bonino could be an "x-factor" for many teams. The two-time Stanley Cup champion could upgrade a team from one that makes a deep postseason run to one that lifts the cup at the end of it. With that potential, trading Bonino could yield high returns for the Predators, especially with the right businessman at the helm of the discussions, enter David Poile.
Nashville Predators center Nick Bonino (Jerome Miron-USA TODAY Sports)
Season after season, Predators fans have seen their first-round pick traded for a rental player, with the hopes of putting the Predators over the top. Maybe this is the season where the roles are reversed. Could Poile fetch a first-round selection for Bonino? It seems like a bit of a stretch, after all, we're in an age where high draft picks are worth their weight in gold.
But the market dictates value and Bonino is worth whatever a team is willing to pay. TSN has speculated that the Carolina Hurricanes are willing to use their first-round pick in negotiations. Maybe GM Don Waddell sees first-round value in pairing a playoff veteran with the young talent they have in Raleigh. If that is the case, then it's certainly something that the Predators would have to consider.
Bonino still has another year left on his four-year deal. Regardless of what has happened this season, the Predators' window is still wide open and will be next season. If they want a shot at finally lifting the ultimate prize, Bonino will be key piece. The native of Hartford, Connecticut is one of the best defensive forwards the Predators have, his faceoff skills and defensive awareness may be unmatched.

The Predators still see themselves as playoff contenders. A Bonino team has beat the Predators in the playoffs once already, why risk it happening again?
Trading Bonino would make a massive statement. The team would be officially acknowledging that this inexplicably disastrous season has been a failure. But, at the point of trading Bonino, the Predators could be so far out of it, the statement of the trade might just be a move that states the obvious.
There's lots of hockey left to be played and the Predators do have games in hand over a lot of teams they're chasing. It's not unrealistic for the Predators to pivot themselves into a position where they are buyers once again.
After the Predators made their run to the Stanley Cup Final in 2017, the team pleaded with Poile to keep the "band together" and he did. Since then Poile has made limited adjustments and the team still looks the same for the most part. However, if the Predators remain stuck in their ways, the band may have played their last tune together and they will not be called for an encore.

This highlights the really important barrier of public trust that needs addressing to enable effective information sharing.
There are some real opportunities for local authorities to join-up / collaborate with the current National Data Guardian, ICO and NHS Opt Out commitments and campaigns that are developing the conversation with the public on information sharing.
Very interesting stuff. Is there a plan for the LA's that are ahead, such as Hackney, to "buddy up" with any LA's that are not so advanced and work with them to see if they can be brought up to speed? This could be one way to help the key, practical, best practice guidance to emerge and take hold.

/ What is a local innovation ecosystem?
Greetings from 30,000 feet in the air! I'm en route to Melbourne, Australia, where I will be joining teams from Guatemala, Kenya, Pakistan, Thailand, and Australia for the first gathering of its kind. These teams are building local innovation ecosystems where they live: starting makerspaces, teaching design and engineering, inventing products, and running social enterprises. My goal for the next two weeks: to learn as much as I can from them in order to build a collective vision for strengthening local innovation ecosystems around the world.
So what is a local innovation ecosystem, anyway?
To me, it's a little like electricity. Let's say a person has a great idea – we'll call that the light bulb. When turned on, it can light up a room. But here's the problem: a light bulb can't shine on its own. To light up, it needs all sorts of circuitry: connecting wires, a power source, switches, capacitors, and resistors. Without these critical components, the light bulb stays dark, and the idea never reaches the people who need it.
IDIN's work for the last four years has shown us that there is no shortage of light bulbs. In every community on the planet, people are coming up with creative ideas to solve the problems they face. But too often, the circuitry may not be there to support that idea. Maybe there is no local capital to invest in new businesses, or policies make it difficult to patent an invention. Maybe schools focus on rote learning rather than hands-on problem solving, discouraging youth from exploring new solutions. Or maybe the right people simply aren't connected to each other.
We're learning how to complete the circuit. These teams from around the world have a wealth of lessons to share. And if electricity has taught us anything, it's this: when the circuitry is robust and resilient, it doesn't just power one light bulb. It can light up a whole city.
This has us really excited. We are beginning to dream of a world in which people work together in vibrant, inclusive, and resilient local innovation ecosystems to tackle and solve development challenges.
A local innovation ecosystem is the enabling environment and infrastructure that allows people to engage in iterative processes of innovation and problem solving to generate solutions to local challenges and deliver them to the people who need them.
1. Enabling Environment: An innovation ecosystem is built on the local institutions, conditions, structures that support innovation. This enabling environment can include educational opportunities in design and innovation, local capital to support innovation and entrepreneurship, physical and virtual spaces for problem solving, and ways to connect within and across ecosystems.
2. Broad Engagement with Innovation: In a thriving local innovation ecosystem, diverse individuals and institutions can access skills and tools for problem solving, collaborate with each other, obtain feedback, iterate, learn, and share with others.
3. Solution Development: In a healthy local innovation ecosystem, innovators and entrepreneurs assess social needs, develop products and services to address these needs, and iteratively evaluate and improve these solutions.
4. Solution Delivery: An effective local innovation ecosystem delivers solutions to those who need them.
It's a start, but we stand to be corrected. That's the whole point of this trip: for the next two weeks, we'll be listening and learning from local champions who have tangible examples of ecosystem success and failure. Together, we will start to untangle the complexities, identify the gaps, and refine our collective vision.
Pulling key words from just these three quotes, we get new insights into a local innovation ecosystem's components, qualities, and actions.
Components: Stakeholders. Resources. Interventions. Skills. Knowledge.
Qualities: Diverse. Sustainable. Innovative. Relevant.
Actions: Engage. Gain. Access. Include.
More updates, lessons, and data to come over the next two weeks – stay tuned! In the meantime, join the conversation on local innovation ecosystems on our Facebook page.

FEBRUARY: How do discussions relate to student outcomes?
Every month our Data Team will tackle an interesting data question. But they need real data sets in order to perform their analysis. All data will remain anonymous. No identifiers will be shared. Sample results will be posted in this group as a blog post. Approval for data use will be coordinated with school and CSM. All schools will get a copy of their data. If your school is interested in participating (and you are a Canvas Admin) please contact Biray Seitz for more information!
This month we're diving deeper into discussions. That's right - we want to analyze discussions -- from number of discussion topics per course and number of posts per discussion to length of posts and number of replies).
Anything other ideas related to discussions?
I think something else that's important is duration of participation (and possibly how many different days the student participates). If a student comes in and posts really amazing posts and replies (# of posts, length of post) all in one day I don't consider that student to be fully "participating" and "engaging" in the discussion. To me participation means that they are actively engaging with others in the discussion over multiple days. Not exactly sure how that information/data could be captured, but I think it's pretty important and could provide our faculty with a lot of useful information.

When people achieve the star position, they start creating unnecessary reservations for themselves, naming it as stardom standards. However, there are few celebrities who prioritize humanity over this so-called stardom. Most of the celebs often confuse between arrogance and confidence.
Well! there is a very thin line between these two, and only smart people can understand it. Here we have got you a list of those smart celebrities who prioritize humanity over stardom.
Scroll down and meet the humble stars.
The Indian actress Anushka Sharma and India cricketer Virat Kohli gave up their business class seats for Indian seamers. It is rare to see the celebrities giving up on their luxuries. Well! the star couple did this so that the seamers get some much-needed rest before the next match.
The male World Athlete of the IAAF Athletics Awards 2018 didn't ask for any assistant rather did all his chores himself during camp.
We all know that there are certain standards attached to the position of Croatian President. But keeping all the formalities aside, Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic celebrated her team's victory by dancing with players. With this she proved that humanity is more important than any stardom.
Indian footballer Sunil Chhetri did nothing but just passed a trophy to his teammates during presentation after winning the Intercontinental Cup 2018. However, his down to earth attitude clearely refleted in his actions.
The great Obama left all the reservations attached to his star position and attended a prayer service standing among other worshipers in a church.
The former captain of Indian Cricket, MS Dhoni showed his humanity when he carried water and other drinks for his teammates during a T20I match.
Undoubdetly, Rahul Dravid, the former Indian Cricketer is an International cricekt star. But he loves to priortize humanity over his stardom. The man is often seen acting like a common man in public domain. Recently, he was seen standing in a queue with his kids. He could have asked his servants to do so but the humble guy chose to do it himself like any other parent would do.
Here is the 51-year-old Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, mopping the coffee spilled by him in the Parliament premises. Hats off to him humble attitude.
The richest man standing in a queue outside a burger joint. Well! there can be no better example of prioritizing humanity over stardom.
Mostly celebrities create issues about such things and take it as a question on their stardom. On the other hand, Roger Federer patiently waited outside the locker room when the security guard stopped him for not carrying his ID.

Oshidori withdraws Nagasaki IR licence application
9th August 2021 | By Conor Mulheir
Oshidori International Development LLC has announced its withdrawal from the selection process for an Integrated Resort (IR) licence in the Japanese prefecture of Nagasaki.
Oshidori said it does not approve of the development and operation rules imposed by the prefecture and that the request for proposals (RFP) process is not being implemented ethically or fairly.
Many of the restrictions imposed by the prefecture are unreasonable, it said, and therefore it cannot conduct business in a rational and effective manner at present.
In a statement, the business also said it had encountered "multiple suspicions of ethical fraud in the RFP process." It concluded that it could only participate in a selection process which is transparent and professional.
The business expressed its thanks to all those concerned, and to local people for their support and cooperation in Nagasaki's IR business.
Oshidori joined forces with Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment in January this year, in a joint bid to acquire the Nagasaki IR licence.
In March, the Nagasaki government announced that it had narrowed its list of candidates for the new IR to three: Oshidori, Casinos Austria International and Niki Chyau Fwu Group, which is a joint venture between Japenese commercial real estate developer The Niki Group and Taiwanese construction business Chyau Fwu Group, also known as Parkview Group.
Oshidori International Development was established for the purpose of developing an integrated resort in Sasebo City, Nagasaki, and is owned by investment business Oshidori International Holdings.
Last week, Oshidori's partner in the application, Mohegan Gaming and Entertainment, appointed Kim Cowan as its vice president of talent management, and Naketrice Snow as director of corporate employee and guest experience.
Cowan previously served as the principal for KWConsulting, and has held the position of vice president of human resources at Prudential Financial for eight years.
Mohegan said that Snow brings over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry, working with various hotels and resorts across Florida. Most recently, she held the role of director of catering and senior even manager for Waldorf Astoria Orlando & Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek.
The operator said the appointments would see the business execute a robust, integrated human resources strategy across its properties.
"Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment is pleased to have Kim Cowan and Naketrice Snow join our corporate human resources team to support the continued organizational development of our company throughout the U.S. and abroad," said Ray Pineault, president & chief executive officer of Mohegan Gaming & Entertainment.
"Our team members are vital to enabling MGE's continued global success, and I look forward to Kim and Naketrice's leadership to ensure each MGE team member achieves their full potential, while engaging the Spirit of Aquai."

Home»News»Leak shows speculative renders of the Huawei Mate 50 series, talks about specs
Leak shows speculative renders of the Huawei Mate 50 series, and talks about specs. Although Huawei's release timeline has been erratic, the company did indicate that it still intends to ultimately release the Mate 50 series. The most recent information on the subject includes renderings for the three major phones, a new tablet, and a range of speculative features.
Please take note that these are quite speculative and may turn out to be wishful thinking. Although only a 4G connection is available, the Huawei Mate 50, Mate 50 Pro, and Mate 50 RS are advertised with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor (instead of the Snapdragon 888). The Pro model will probably feature a 5G casing, similar to the one for the P50 Pro, to get around it, and the RS will also have a similar solution.
The standard Mate 50 will only have 8GB of RAM and 128/256GB of storage, while the Pro and RS variants will have 12GB of RAM and 28/256/512GB of storage. According to reports, the smartphones will also have an NPU from HiSilicon for the XMAGE processing, an internal replacement for the camera technology created in collaboration with Leica.
Speaking about the camera, it is rumored to include a 50MP primary camera with a switchable f/1.4 and f/4 aperture. That should be an IMX800 on the Mate 50 Pro and Mate 50 RS, but an IMX766 on the base device. Although the specifications of the ultra-wide and telephoto lenses are unknown, all three versions are anticipated to contain them. On the Pro and RS variants, the selfie camera will be a 13MP device with a 3D sensor for face unlock.
For the 4,500mAh batteries on the Pro and RS (including wireless charging), and the 4,400mAh batteries on the vanilla variant, all three phones are anticipated to need 66W fast charging. According to speculations, BOE will produce the AMOLED panels for the Mate 50 trio. According to reports, the Pro and RS will have curved 6.78″ 120Hz LTPO panels (1,212 x 2,612px), while the standard model would have a flat 90Hz LTPS display (1,225 x 2,800px, the size is not entirely clear).
The key selling point of the Huawei 50 RS model will be its ceramic body, while the other two will have a metal and glass sandwich construction. The Huawei Mate 50E, the fourth edition with comparable specifications to the standard model but using the Snapdragon 778G processor, is among the speculated specifications (again limited to 4G connectivity).
A Huawei MatePad Pro 12.4″, a bigger version of the 11″ MatePad Pro from July, is also seen in the leak. There aren't many specifications for this one, but an image does reveal the costs and the date of the presentation (September 7), when sales will begin.
For a 128GB Wi-Fi variant, it costs CNY 4,000 ($590/€580/47,000) (the 11″ slate cost CNY 3,300). The image's only specifications are a 12.4″ OLED display (120Hz, 1,000 nits), a thin 4.9mm body, and "200+ PC programs" (this could be a new HarmonyOS feature).

Recipe: An Asian-style turkey burger
If you think just because you use ground turkey to make a burger it's automatically healthier, you could be in for a big surprise.
by By JIM ROMANOFF, For the Associated Press, Daily News
Ground turkey has a reputation for being lean, but there are many varieties available, some with as much as 17 grams of fat in a 4-ounce portion.
At that point, you might as well use ground chuck, which is more flavorful and has only 14 grams of fat.
At the other extreme, you'll want to avoid 99 percent lean ground turkey. It produces dry, flavorless patties.
A good compromise is 93 percent lean ground turkey, which has about 8 grams of fat per serving. But even with that amount of fat, a turkey burger can be lacking in flavor and moisture.
Treating a turkey burger as a tiny meatloaf is a good strategy. Mixing in ingredients such as ketchup, Dijon mustard, chopped onions and fresh herbs will all add moisture and flavor.
Fresh breadcrumbs help to cut the fat by padding the meat. They also soak up and retain moisture so it won't cook out of the burger while on the grill.
Some recipes even call for adding 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage or ricotta cheese per pound of lean ground turkey to moisten things up. Finely chopped mushrooms are another way to moisten the patty.
This recipe adds flavor with sweet white miso, a nutty, savory Asian paste that's made from fermented rice or barley. Look for it near the tofu in natural food stores and most larger markets.
Fresh ginger and scallions add even more flavor and moisture, and crispy panko (Japanese-style) breadcrumbs help to lock it all in.
To complete the meal, serve these Asian-style turkey burgers with a side of coleslaw made with rice vinegar and sesame oil dressing.
MISO-GINGER
2 tablespoons sweet white miso
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 pound 93 percent lean ground
1/3 cup panko (Japanese-style) breadcrumbs
4 whole-wheat hamburger buns
Heat a gas grill to medium-high or prepare a charcoal fire.
In a large bowl, whisk together the miso, soy sauce and ginger. Add the ground turkey, scallions, breadcrumbs and black pepper. Gently but thoroughly mix together. Shape into 4 patties, each about 3/4-inch thick.
To oil the grill grates, dampen a folded paper towel with vegetable oil, hold it with tongs and rub it over the grates.
Grill the burgers until well browned on the underside, about 4 to 5 minutes. With a metal spatula, turn the burgers over carefully. Grill for another 4 to 6 minutes, or until the burgers reach 165 degrees at the thickest part.
Meanwhile, toast the buns at the edge of the grill. Season the burgers with salt and dress with condiments and vegetables as desired. Serves 4.
