Ole Miss Baseball season preview: The rotation
Most of the hay is in the barn for Ole Miss with regards to fielding a lineup. With seven starters returning — aside from a position battle at second base between Jacob Adams and Anthony Servideo, and finding the right fit in right field and designated hitter with the number of bats the Rebels have on the roster — most of what is left unsettled resides on the mound.
Opening Day is just over a week away and Ole Miss will have new faces in all three slots of its the weekend rotation. The Friday night starter is likely settled and one could surmise that Houston Roth will likely occupy one of the latter two spots.
With all of that said, here is a stab at projecting what the rotation might look like on opening weekend.
Friday: Will Ethridge
Ethridge will jog out to the mound and grab the baseball for the Rebels on opening day. This much we know. He's appeared in a variety of different roles for Ole Miss in his two years. He's been a midweek starter, a long relieve, saved a game and has entered the game in high leverage, late-inning situations to help Ole Miss win close games. His 1.2 innings of perfect relief at Alex Box Stadium against LSU in 2017 come to mind with regards to high leverage, and his 5.2 innings of handiwork out of the pen in the rubber game of a series Ole Miss won against the Tigers last season is an example of one of his better extended relief outings.
Ethridge's first two years saw him adapt to a variety of different roles. He spent the fall and winter preparing for one single challenge — being the face of the Ole Miss rotation. It has afforded him more time to craft his secondary stuff, most notably a breaking ball with more bite and attaining a better command of his changeup.
"We worked really hard on the curveball and trying to get more depth," head coach Mike Bianco said. "One of the things out of the bullpen is sometimes it is difficult to use three pitches. It is tougher to work that many pitches into your arsenal. As a starter, sometimes it is necessary. It is an advantage as you face hitters multiple times."
Being a Friday night starter in the Southeastern Conference is as tough a task as one can find in college baseball. Having three or four pitches in the repertoire is a necessity rather than luxury. Ethridge will sit 90-94 with the fastball. How well he commands his secondary stuff will go a long way in determining his success, as has been the case in the past for the junior right-hander.
"I have slowly started to throw my changeup more often," Ethridge said. It has been a big pitch for me, getting lefties to roll over on it and swing-and-miss on that. Developing the curveball this fall has been a big part of my success."
Saturday: Houston Roth
Roth's got a bit of a nastiness about him in terms of competitiveness that would equip him well to take the ball on Friday nights, but will be one of the better Saturday starters in the conference if he is indeed slotted there. He flashes a four-pitch mix with a breaking ball, slider and changeup behind a fastball that hovers around 90-92.
Roth started seven times in the midweek last season and once in the SEC Tournament championship game, logging innings and attaining experience that he thinks will be valuable when going through opposing lineups two or three times throughout the course of a game.
"I felt like I have honed in all of my pitches, am locating well and am ready to go," Roth said. "I think it is going to help me run out and face batters in the first inning. Then, obviously, starting the SEC Championship game was a big stage with a lot of people. I feel like that is what weekends at Swayze are going to be like."
Roth's primary project in the offseason was bringing a slower, looping curveball back into the arsenal. It won't be a wipeout pitch — though he thinks he can flip it over the plate at any time to freeze a hitter — but rather one to show to hitters to plant another possibility in their minds of what could be coming. The breaking ball and having a better feel for the changeup will be a couple of things to watch early on with Roth.
"I think I will throw all four pitches in pretty much any count," Roth said. "Coming out of the bullpen, I was better off being a fastball-slider kind of guy. Being a starter, this fits more of my role. I want to have an extra pitch to change hitters' eye levels. I think it is a good pitch to steal strikes, not so much to use it to punch someone out, but I can. I think it is a good pitch to use early the count to show a slower breaking ball."
Sunday: Gunnar Hoglund
In the mix: Zack Phillips, Doug Nikhazy, Kaleb Hill
Hoglund turned down $1.9 million from the Pittsburgh Pirates after being drafted with the 36th pick in the MLB Draft this past June, and elected to go to school. He's the second highest draft pick to put on an Ole Miss uniform and was immediately thought to be in the mix for one of the three open rotation spots upon his arrival.
Hoglund is a three-pitch guy with a fastball that will sit 90-94 a slower curveball and a changeup. He's shown pretty good command of all three pitches, aside from being a little erratic with a fastball at times in the fall. Hoglund handles the bat pretty well too, which could potentially be a possibility at some point. But with Ole Miss' not exactly being short on productive bats, that may not be something Bianco wishes to toy with, particularly if Hoglund finds himself starting on the weekend for the Rebels.
Again, this is just an educated guess as to how this third and final spot will shake out as there are others in the mix too. Freshman lefty Kaleb Hill impressed the staff in the fall, as did fellow lefty and junior college transfer Zack Phillips. Doug Nikhazy is another freshman lefty that will get a hard look as a starter — whether it be in the midweek or at the backend of the weekend rotation — after a fall that saw him whiff 17 hitters in 15 innings.
"I would still say it is pretty fluid," Bianco said. "I think we'd like to get though this next weekend before we start naming names. I think everyone knows who is in the running, and that is good. I don't necessarily look at that as a bad thing. If it was cut-and-dry, you wouldn't have depth. That is a good thing."
It an interesting situation and one that mostly bodes well for Ole Miss. It has to replace all three slots, but has two guys with a good bit of experience and a handful of talented new arms to choose from. Bianco and the staff are gaining an idea of what it will look like in just over a week and most everyone else will know soon enough as well.

How much does it cost to make a soda with a SodaStream system?
SodaStream is a system that consumers can use to make their own soda and seltzer water. The SodaStream machine allows the consumer to carbonate water combined with flavored syrup ("SodaMix") to make soda in a variety of flavors. Consumers can also carbonate plain water to make seltzer water. SodaStream has been experiencing strong sales growth over the past few years, while its main competitors in the beverage market, Coke and Pepsi, have seen their sales decline.
For comparison purposes, assume that a 24-pack of Pepsi or Coke soda currently costs $7.99.
See this article for further information about SodaStream and its growth.
Assume a consumer purchases the SodaStream system. What type of cost is the SodaStream soda maker (machine)? What type of cost is the carbonator refill? What type of cost is the SodaMix?
Calculate the variable cost per soda made with a SodaStream system.
Calculate the total cost per soda of SodaStream soda assuming that the consumer makes the equivalent of (a) 165 cans of soda; (b) 330 cans of soda; and (c) 990 cans of soda.
Calculate the cost per can of Pepsi or Coke.
Assume that a consumer plans to make one serving of soda per day with the SodaStream system. After a year, will this system save the consumer money over the cost of purchasing Pepsi or Coke in 24-packs?
Assume that the consumer makes the calculations in Question 3 above. Upon studying the per-can costs of the 990-can level, the consumer then decides to make three servings of soda per day for a year to experience the per-can cost savings. Where is the consumer's logic flawed in this scenario?
What reason(s) might a consumer have for purchasing this system besides cost savings?

PRIORITES
"Benjamin said that the community isn't against renovations to its subway stations, but is against a process that limits community input. The state senator said Monday that he plans to introduce legislation that would require transit authorities to give local community board's 90 days notice for any plan that would shut down stations..."If we had community input and communication at least with six months in advance, we could have discussed some of these issues and said 'listen we really need an escalator, we really need an elevator' and we could have had a back and forth dialogue," Benjamin said."
After graduating from high school in New York City, Senator Benjamin sought the quality education that his parents knew he would need to succeed. At Harvard and Brown he learned the skills to run a successful small business in Harlem, build affordable housing, and contribute to President Obama's 2008 campaign for president. Senator Benjamin wants every child to have the education opportunities he did, and to have the skills they need to live up to their potential in school.
To prepare Harlem's students for the jobs of the future, Senator Benjamin introduced public school leadership to the technology leaders from Brown University.
Senator Benjamin supports fixing the unfair funding that disadvantages students in some public school districts.
Senator Benjamin is a cosponsor of the DREAM Act, which will help the children of immigrants obtain the education they deserve here in New York State.
Senator Benjamin successfully fought for the largest increase in public education spending in New York State, and for increased transparency in how that money is spent.
Before I was elected to the Senate, I was a leader at a local small business. This business, which was a certified M/WBE (Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprise) worked with the community to build the affordable housing they needed. Therefore, I know first hand how important it is that that local businesses are given the tools they need to survive and thrive. That way people can shop in their neighborhoods, work in their neighborhoods, and live well in their neighborhoods.
Senator Benjamin partners with organizations like Harlem Park To Park to ensure that businesses like Whole Foods hire local workers and sell local products.
Senator Benjamin supports MWBEs and has partnered with NYC Small Business Services to help small businesses get government contracts.
Senator Benjamin is the sponsor of a bill to ensure that the state contracts with M/WBEs.
Senator Benjamin helped ensure there was an extension of Article 15-A in the State Budget.
Shortly after I was elected, I visited Rikers Island. There I met people from the community I represent—young men and women being punished for their poverty and their mental health as much as for their crimes. Many of these New Yorkers are detained because they lack the resources to pay their bail. They are not more of a threat and their crimes are not more serious–the only difference between those detained and those set free is their economic status and the color of their skin.
Senator Benjamin supports a comprehensive legislative package to build a criminal justice system focused on actual justice, one that seeks to rehabilitate rather than erecting lifelong barriers to success.
Senator Benjamin is the sponsor of a bill to Close Rikers in three years, faster than the city plans to.
Senator Benjamin is the sponsor of a Discovery Reform bill.
Senator Benjamin is the sponsor of a bill to divest New York's public pension funds from private prisons.
Senator Benjamin is a co-sponsor of a bill to end solitary confinement.
Senator Benjaminis co-sponsor of a bill which would have a special investigator probe police-involved death of unarmed civilians.

Jailed Hikers Will Be Released 'In A Couple Of Days' Says Iranian President
Sep. 13 2011, Published 10:00 a.m. ET
The two American hikers who have been jailed in Iran since 2009 could be released to freedom within days, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer were sentenced to eight years for espionage and illegal entry last month after they were seized while hiking in the Kurdish area of northern Iraq two years ago.
In an interview with NBC's Ann Curry on Tuesday, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the imminent release "a humanitarian gesture."

"They illegally crossed our borders, and they were arrested by the border guards, but we tried last year to free one of the three persons, and we are also trying to make arrangements for their freedom, for the freedom of the other two," explained the President.
"I think these two persons will be freed in a couple of days."

Ahmadinejad went on to explain that they were being well treated despite their detainment, and were receiving "very good conditions here in prison ... it's like staying in a hotel."
In return, Ahmadinejad has reportedly asked for the release of Iranians who are being held in U.S. prisons.
Fattal and Bauer will finally be set free after a $500,000 bail is paid for each of them, explained their attorney, Masoud Shafiee, and their families are trying to raise the money, reported CNN.com.

A third hiker, Sarah Shourd, who is now Bauer's fiancee, was released last year for medical reasons but her case remains open.
The trio was incarcerated after they accidentally strayed across an unmarked border into Iran, they were quickly arrested and accused of being spies, and of entering the country illegally.
The Tehran Prosecutor's office had said it had "compelling evidence" that the three were cooperating with U.S. intelligence agencies, Iran's state-run Press TV reported.

the morning glories would never rise.
and the seeds, you were certain, had become dust.

But you know me, it could spirit, love, hope, or all of the above as well.


The need for Access and Outlook to talk to each other is inevitable. There are plenty examples on the web if all you are doing is working with your own e-mail account, but when you need to work with Public Folders, the examples get increasingly difficult to find. Hopefully, this post will make it that much less difficult.
I should note that I had to get snippets of code from 3 different sites and still had to tweak it to get it to work. Nothing is ever easy!
So, the code works, problem solved, right? Not exactly. My company recently upgraded to MS Office 2013, Win 10, SQL Server 2014 AND MS Exchange Server (no idea which version) – and nothing worked like it used to. My code would still link the table, but it would take up to 5 minutes to access it once it was linked. I think I have a thread on that problem as well, but I am too lazy to look for it.
Acting on some advice I received, I tried a few things but one thing that worked very well (fast) was a saved import. Once it was saved, simply choose it from the menu or with VBA and in the blink of an eye, I had a local copy of the Public Folder to play with.
Easy, just change the XML data accordingly and everything will be fine. And it IS easy, once you find out how…it is the finding bit that can be difficult.
in the VBE immediate window (I use the ordinal position but the name of the saved import works too).
By using the built-in InStr() function or even Regular Expressions(RegEx) to isolate the Path, you can then use Replace() to alter the XML and it will work. I have tried both InStr() and RegEx and I can share that code too if it is wanted. The reason I kept looking is that there HAD to be a more specific way to manipulate XML.
I have never really liked InStr unless I was dealing with large text files and once I found RegEx, I rarely have a need for it. RegEx is a very powerful tool, but it can be difficult to get your head around - for me anyway.
' MSXML2 requires reference to "Microsoft XML, v6.0"
Hopefully others will find this as useful as I did. Let me know what you thing and I am ALWAYS open to comments, suggestions and criticism.

Fifty Shades of Pay: EL James tops 2013 list of highest earning authors
The woman behind Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey's love affair beats off competition from James Patterson and Suzanne Collins
By Susanna Lazarus
Tuesday, 13th August 2013 at 10:45 am
As stories go, this one comes as no surprise… EL James, author of the best-selling "mommy porn" Fifty Shades of Grey novels, has topped the list of the highest paid authors in 2013.
The British writer became the world's top earning author after pulling in an estimated £61.4 million fortune in the 12 months between June 2012 and 2013 thanks to sales of her 2011 novel and 2012 follow-ups Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed.
James – who lives in London – is making her debut on the writers' rich list this year after becoming a sales phenomenon both in the UK and abroad, according to data collected by Forbes. Her books centre around a steamy affair between Anastasia Steele and Christian Grey, with a film adaptation planned for next year.
Knocked off his top spot by our own Erika Leonard James is American author James Patterson whose earnings total almost £60 million from works including his Maximum Ride and Witch & Wizard series. Patterson is so popular in the States that one in every 17 hardcovers sold is written by him, with Forbes already predicting his return to no.1 next year.

SirajPower continues to empower Dubai's residential communities with sustainable energy
Second prominent residential project for SirajPower in Dubai and first fully financed solar rooftop project for the residential sector in the Middle East
New partnership with Al Khail Heights (by Texture Holding) and Green Coast Real Estate-Mirdif Villa Complex to result in a total of 3MWp system capacity and generate 5GWh of annual energy production
Supporting the increased demand from developers and homeowners to shift to solar energy with the adoption of a leasing model to make savings and reduce their carbon footprints
Post COVID-19 agenda expected to be highly dominated by sustainability and savings. According to IRENA, green energy could drive COVID-19 recovery with $100tn boost
Following the success of its award-winning project with DP World to provide solar energy to JAFZA staff accommodation completed earlier this year, SirajPower, UAE's leading distributed solar energy provider, today announced two new residential partnerships in Dubai. SirajPower inked a deal with Al Khail Heights (by Texture Holding) and Green Coast Real Estate – Mirdif Villa Complex that will result in a total 3MWp system capacity, and generate 5GWh of annual energy production, whilst displacing more than 3,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide emission (Co2) per annum, corresponding to approximately 450 million smartphones being charged.
Laurent Longuet, CEO at SirajPower: "Today, the way we live has been disrupted because of the novel coronavirus, COVID-19. It has raised further awareness of our lifestyle and the impact it has on our environment. Before the outbreak, there was already a strong push to make sustainability a way of life in the UAE and the region. As a company, we are proud to be part of a local family business that has always played an important role to help the community and that has been able to support the development of the long-term green vision of our leadership."
The partnership is already SirajPower's second important project in the residential sector this year. To implement such a project, the company benefited from its key market differentiator, a fully integrated leasing model which eases energy expenses and can help mitigating the economic impact of the current crisis. SirajPower provides the design, construction, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and financing that allow businesses to work with a single point of contact throughout the whole journey of their energy ambitions.
Longuet continued: "With the successful implementation of this project, we proved that a fully financed solar model is now becoming a reality in Dubai and the Middle East. Our team's tireless efforts, level of expertise and experience are market-leading. As a result, SirajPower became the first and only fully comprehensive distributed solar energy company in the region that can provide a 'commercial' solar leasing solution for the residential market.
"To date, and thanks to the important role Shams Dubai played in the development of the Emirate's flourishing solar industry, we have been championing the commercial and industrial sectors which have been the main beneficiaries of solar rooftop plants. Our expansion in the residential sector is a ground-breaking move that showcases our commitment to increasing the number of solar projects in the UAE to achieve its ambitious sustainable development goals. We are confident that we can continue our expansion and tap into different sectors, and new markets as we aim to change the way the region is powered. Together, with the support of the authorities, we can build a solar rooftop culture to make sustainability a way of life."
The residential market has been slower in the adoption of solar energy due to scepticism about the benefits of creating green real estate assets and its possible financial benefits. SirajPower's milestones has paved the way and will help continue to boost the sector in which the outlook is promising. Market reports demonstrate Dubai's position as a model for sustainable real estate development and the market continues to witness a growing demand for sustainable living and reduced carbon footprint.
Mansoor Nabil A G Hussain, CEO at Green Coast Real Estate said: "SirajPower's unique and innovative leasing model is a game-changer and we believe that their services will further contribute to the development of the local and regional solar market. What has been key for us is that they have been able to demonstrate data and evidence showing costing impacts which are essential to shift attitudes in the market. As a developer, we are now able to quantify the value of our investments in solar rooftops and our energy savings. We have a high-quality portfolio that will now be enhanced with a sustainable solution."
Zubair Patni, Director at Al Khail Heights LLC (by Texture Holding) said: "In Dubai, the leadership has put in place an integrated energy strategy that aims to achieve a 30% reduction in energy and water usage across the built environment by 2030. This is important for property owners and occupiers as it will result in tangible saving benefits. We have selected SirajPower as our green partner of choice for the proven added value they've provided to other businesses. We proudly embark with them and the guidance of our wise leadership in their path to support the long-term Green Economy for Sustainable Development initiative."
According to the latest report from IRENA, renewable energy could power an economic recovery from COVID-19 by spurring global GDP gains of almost $100tn between now and 2050. An accelerated investment in renewable energy could generate significant economic benefits while also helping to address global climate emergency.
SirajPower is the first and only locally-owned company in Dubai licensed and certified to deliver pioneering solar financing solutions for both businesses and the residential market. The company's portfolio is witnessing steady growth in the region with over 50MWp already under operations, further strengthening the company's leading position in distributed solar energy.

Q: mysqldump append record if not found I have two databases, one on the localhost (staging DB) and another on a remote server (Live DB). Initially, the staging DB was exactly as same as Live DB. I did some testing on the staging DB and I now wants to move those changes to the Live DB. But the issue is that in this time period, the Live DB has some other changes and isn't at the point where I left it for testing on the staging DB.
I want to retain the records of the Live DB but also want to add the updated or new records from the staging DB. And, I don't want to do it manually as this process is going to be done a lot of times in the future.
I thought of fetching all the tables without DROP TABLE command. I also used sed to change CREATE TABLE command to CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS to make sure I don't miss any table from the staging DB. Next, I added --insert-ignore option to the mysqldump but this doesn't help my situation. And, I don't want to use REPLACE command as it is very destructive.
Here is my mysqldump command:
`which mysqldump` --defaults-file=./local.cnf --insert-ignore --skip-add-drop-table --compress --create-options --add-locks --skip-opt ${STAGE_DB} > dump.sql

What I want to achieve?
To update the staging DB to Live DB without losing any data from the Live DB and still having the records from staging DB.
I'm a novice in mysql, so please help me out to figure this problem out.

Q: How to get a list of all months from current month to a month in the past using moment.js I'm trying to generate a list of months starting from April 2020 to a month in the past ( October 2019 ) using moment.js.

const start = moment().startOf('month')
const startMonth = moment('10-01-2019', 'MM-DD-YYYY').format('MMMM YYYY')
const month = moment().startOf('month').format('MM')
for (let i = 0; i < month; i++) {
  const m = start.subtract(1, 'month').format('MMMM YYYY')
  if (m === startMonth) {
    break;
  }
  console.log(m)
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.26.0/moment.min.js" integrity="sha256-5oApc/wMda1ntIEK4qoWJ4YItnV4fBHMwywunj8gPqc=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

I get only 5 months as a result. Could anyone please help?

A: Using isSameOrBefore()

const start = moment().startOf('month')
const end = moment('11-11-2019', 'MM-DD-YYYY')

while (end.isSameOrBefore(start, 'month')) {
  console.log(start.format('MMMM YYYY'))

A: Something like this?

const start = moment().startOf('month')
const end = moment('10-01-2018', 'MM-DD-YYYY')

let results = []
let current = start
while (current.format('MMMM YYYY') !== end.format('MMMM YYYY')) {
  results.push(current.format('MMMM YYYY'))
  current = current.subtract(1, 'month')
}
// need to add current one last time because the loop will have ended when it is equal to the end date, and will not have added it
results.push(current.format('MMMM YYYY'))

console.log(results)

Why networking is crucial in job searching and how to stand out of the crowd we talk with Sanna Eronen, Planning Officer at Career and Recruitment Services at Laurea.
– In Finland about 70 percent of the jobs are never advertised, they go through the networks. I talk about it a lot with the students. And they ask me, what is networking, how to network? Networking may happen during recruitment events but this is just one way. You have to see networking as something that is going on all the time. Here at school, with your colleagues, friends, teachers. But a recruitment event is of course a great opportunity. You can talk with the companies' representatives, share your CV and even if the company doesn't have open positions at the moment, they can remember you and after some time contact you.
– The biggest mistake is to come to an event just to look around and "collect candies and pens", that's not networking! You have to bring your CV either printed or in a pdf file ready to send via email. Read about the companies beforehand, what they can offer, what they are doing, what you could do there and remember to prepare some questions. It is important that you don't just go and ask: what you can offer me? Better way to start the conversation is: I noticed you are looking for employee for this position etc. and tell them why you are interested in this company, what you can bring to this company, what are your strengths and skills that the company might need. This is how you stand out. If you are looking for internship or your first job from your own field, it is really important to think what are you especially interested in that field, what are your assets as a new professional?
– I always tell students, that all the colleagues and friends they meet during their studies are their most important network, maybe not now, but in just a couple of years after graduation every one of them will be in a different position and then they will be an excellent network. Also your teachers, they know a lot of companies, have very good connections. If your teachers remember you, they might recommend you to a potential employer. For me the funniest way of networking is in your normal life, in hobbies, in different events and so on. It happens naturally if you are open to meet new people, you talk with them and tell them what you are interested in. Be active, come to events, talk, and be engaged.
– I know already from students, that they would like to know more about how to look for a job, how to approach the companies, how to recognize you competences and how to tell about those competences in the Finnish work culture. So these are the subject we will focus on in the future.
– In Finnish culture we treat each other with respect and also we expect that you are very active, you tell your own opinions, and you are creative. Instead of your boss is telling you what to do, you have to take initiative and be independent. Finnish kids are taught those skills from the age of 7, when they start school and if we compare this to education in for example Asian cultures it is very different. So, we will definitely organize some workshops tackling those issues.
– The AI is going to change our way of work, taking from us mundane tasks or routines. Hence, all the social skills like communication and cooperation skills, will be emphasized even more in the future. Of course the lifelong learning skills, being excited about new things, being adaptable to changes. It doesn't always mean you have to change your profession, but the field itself will change so you have to be ready to change with it. Digital skills are and will be important. Also creative thinking skills will be needed in the future.
– The CV must be easy to read. You don't put everything in the CV. My first tip is to modify your CV to all jobs you apply, especially if you already have some job experience. It is good to write a short profile text at the top of your CV and this is also one part you should always modify based on a job advertisement. You collect the most important skills the chosen company is looking for and you write your profile trying to emphasize that you have those skills. The second tip is a good picture. I always recommend to put a photo in a CV, it is not obligatory, but it is well seen in Finland. Third is, if you are a student, probably what you are studying is more important than what you've done. So, put first your study history. Another tip, always put your language and IT skills. And remember that you must be very clear and precise, because a recruiter usually have about 10 seconds for one CV.
– Follow the same tips. Focus on the relevant things like your work history, skills, what kind of person you are. Also try to think about your own field key words, you can look for those for example from job advertisements. Because based on those words recruiters are searching for candidates in LinkedIn. Show what you are interested in. Finnish recruiters use LinkedIn a lot, especially in IT.
– To find a dream job is usually a long path and rarely it will be found right after graduation. Most important tip I can give is to remember that all your (work) experiences are valuable, is it internships, volunteering jobs or jobs which are not from your own field. And the dream job may come in a different part of your life, for everyone there is a different path. Some find it almost straight up, others might change the fields and find the dream job in a completely different and unexpected place. But in any case, whatever the path, you have to put a lot of effort and be active and don't expect that the dream job fall into your lap.

United, Hawaii Airlines offer COVID-19 testing in California for Hawaii-bound passengers

If you are looking to avoid being quarantined in Hawaii for up to 14 days due to COVID-19, United Airlines and Hawaii Airlines are looking to make it easier on you by offering same-day COVID-19 tests at the airports.
On Thursday, United announced that beginning Oct. 15, passengers traveling from San Francisco to Hawaii can either take a rapid test at the San Francisco International Airport (SFO) or a self-collected, mail-in test ahead of their trip.
If you opt for the self-collected test, you must submit your sample within 72 hours of travel via overnight mail or an airport dropbox, United said.
"Our new COVID testing program is another way we are helping customers meet their destinations' entry requirements, safely and conveniently," said Toby Enqvist, Chief Customer Officer at United in the press release. "We'll look to quickly expand customer testing to other destinations and U.S. airports later this year to complement our state-of-the-art cleaning and safety measures that include a mandatory mask policy, antimicrobial and electrostatic spraying and our hospital-grade HEPA air filtration systems."
On Friday, Hawaii Airlines announced that passengers traveling to Hawaii from Los Angeles (LAX) or the Bay Area would be able to use drive-through services at Worksite Labs locations near LAX and SFO.
"As Hawai'i's leading airline, it is critical to ensure that access to testing does not impede travel to Hawai'i, for visitors or our kama'āina (residents)," said Avi Mannis, senior vice president of marketing at Hawaiian Airlines in a press release. "Our testing option will offer Los Angeles and Bay Area travelers superior value, and we look forward to expanding the program and bringing additional choices to more of our gateway cities as we welcome guests back with our industry-leading Hawaiian hospitality while keeping our community safe. We're grateful to the state of Hawai'i for its partnership in developing the pre-travel testing program."
You have the option to pay either $90 for results within 36 hours or $150 for same-day results, the airliner said. The company said the Droplet Digital PCR shallow nasal swab tests do meet Hawaii's testing requirements.

An Update on Dallas' Cultural Vitality Program
by Hady Mawajdeh 29 Jul 2016 3:00 PM
This Spring, the Office of Cultural Affairs asked artists to submit proposals for a new Cultural Vitality Program. Now they want your thoughts on the process.
CTA TBD
Last night, approximately 35 people came out to the Latino Cultural Center for the first of two community meetings hosted by the Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs to discuss the Cultural Vitality Program (CVP) that was initiated this Spring.
The Next Cultural Vitality Program Community Meeting is at 11 a.m. Saturday.

What Is The Cultural Vitality Program?
The CVP is an initiative that aims to support and grow the cultural ecosystem in Dallas by doling out money to arts and cultural organizations as well as individual artists who have ideas that will engage new and diverse populations.
The program has three separate initiatives – the "Cultural Equity Initiative," the "Audience and Neighborhood Engagement Initiative" and the "Sustainability and Resilience Initiative." Read full definitions for each initiative here.
David Fisher, former interim head of the OCA and current Assistant Director of the OCA, told Art&Seek earlier this year that the CVP was started with city money budgeted for this fiscal year. It doesn't replace other cultural funding programs.
What Is The Purpose Of The Cultural Vitality Program?
The OCA has a $20 million budget and manages and supports the operations of 22 city-owned cultural centers and facilities, including Dallas City Performance Hall, the Latino and Oak Cliff cultural centers, Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, the Majestic Theatre, Fair Park Music Hall and WRR-FM.
But, as the former head of the South Dallas Cultural Center Vicki Meek told the Dallas Observer last Fall, much of the structural support in Dallas doesn't extend to people of color who live, work and create in this city.
There are always people doing things, from all walks of life," said Meek. "But if we look at the amount of support, which is how I always judge it, it's still pretty much Eurocentric. Given how large the Latino population is in this city, the proportion of money that goes to Latino organizations is not even close."
The CVP hopes to change that. The OCA's David Fisher said last night the city needed to think differently if things are going to change.
"I knew that if we were ever going to move our bread making and our funding to artist forward that we had to carve out an amount of money that wouldn't just go back to the arts groups and cultural centers," said Fisher.
How Is The Cultural Vitality Program Doing?

It's really quite difficult to say how well the program is going. Last night, Fisher and recently named director of the OCA Jennifer Scripps gave a presentation that listed organizations and artists that received awards for the three separate initiatives and all them received passing scores for meeting the requirements.
But, as playwright and Executive Artistic Director of Cara Mía Theatre Co. David Lozano pointed out, none of the organizations that received grants were minority run organizations.
OCA officials said the tight timeframe for giving out grants was a reason for why some organizations may have been overlooked. But it appears that the quality of grant proposals may have been an issue too. Fisher said that poorly written or constructed proposals had to be passed over for better ones. When asked about training or guidance for making sure you have a proposal that gives you a better chance for acceptance, Fisher said that approved proposals from the first round of CVP grants would be posted on the OCA's website as a reference.
What's Next For The Cultural Vitality Program?
The OCA will continue to host conversations with the community to find out how they can better engage new and diverse populations. The next meeting is tomorrow, Saturday, at 11 am.
Last night, Fisher said everything was back on the table for how the money could be spent. If the city budget is approved in September, the OCA will have $225,000 to allocate for the CVP and an additional $120,000 for Special Projects awards. The OCA hopes to reopen the call for grant submissions for CVP in October.

Eagles' Jake Elliott: Accounts for two points in loss
Elliott made both of his extra-point attempts but did not try a field goal in Sunday's 20-14 loss to Washington. Elliott went without a field-goal attempt for the second time in his last three games and the third time this year. He finishes the year having made 14 of his 19 field-goal tries on the season and 24 of 26 extra-point attempts -- all career lows and none ranking better than 27th in the league among kickers. While the 25-year-old was certainly less accurate in 2020 than in any of his three prior NFL seasons, the Eagles' offensive inefficiencies played a large role as well.
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Makes all three kicks in Week 16
Elliott made his lone field-goal attempt as well as both extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Cowboys. The Eagles got up early on the Cowboys, and it looked like Elliott might have one of his bigger games of the season. Unfortunately, he was not called on again after his 38-yard field goal with 3:44 remaining in the first half.
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Just two extra points in loss
Elliott did not attempt a field goal but did make both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 33-26 loss to Arizona. This marks the third time in this season that Elliott was denied a chance at a field goal. He has not made more than one nor attempted more than two in a game since Week 3.
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Another miss in win
Elliott made one of his two field-goal attempts and all three extra-point tries in Sunday's 24-21 win over New Orleans. Elliott has not seen many opportunities behind an Eagles offense that has struggled to put up points this year, and when he has, he has not been consistent. The 25-year-old has missed at least one kick in seven different games this season, including in three straight.
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Nails long field goal in loss
Elliott made his only field-goal attempt in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay. However, he made only one of his two extra-point tries. Elliott hasn't missed a field-goal opportunity since Week 7; the only problem is he's only seen six attempts. He's recently been shaky on extra points as well, having missed two of his last three.

The violent and repulsive abuse of children is becoming more prevalent and the organised nature of offending is also becoming more complex, requiring a consolidated and strategic approach to combat it.
The Government will provide $68.6 million in the 2018-19 Budget to create the ACCCE under the Department of Home Affairs and build a capability not currently held by any single federal or state agency.
The ACCCE will combine the resources of the various agencies in the Home Affairs portfolio, link to other federal departments, state agencies and, importantly, non-government organisations with expertise in dealing with child exploitation, its victims and consequences.
The ACCCE will also link Australia more closely with international law enforcement and agencies such as the US National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children.
The Federal-State Joint Anti Child Exploitation Teams in each state have been very effective and will continue to operate, but the problem of child abuse and exploitation is getting bigger.
The scale and complexity of the challenge is compounded by technology and the continuing evolution of that technology for what is a borderless crime.
In the digital era, it has never been easier for perpetrators to contact children and share images of abuse and torture through global networks.
The level of such material is increasing in volume and the nature of it is becoming more violent and extreme.
By bringing together the expertise of the Australian Federal Police (AFP), the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission, AusTrac, the Office of the Cyber Coordinator, the Australian Border Force, Australian Institute of Criminology and other areas of the Department of Home Affairs, law enforcement officials anticipate the ACCCE will identify and remove from harm more than 200 child victims each year.
The Minister for Home Affairs Peter Dutton said preventing child exploitation was a key priority of the Turnbull Government and the new centre would consolidate efforts to detect and disrupt such abhorrent crime.
"Anyone's child can be targeted by paedophiles and child traffickers and it's our responsibility to stamp them out wherever we can," he said.
The Minister for Law Enforcement and Cyber Security Angus Taylor said the ACCCE would strengthen the ability of Australia's law enforcement agencies to tackle what are revolting crimes.
"It sends a clear message to the perpetrators of these crimes that we will track them down," he said.
Establishment of the ACCCE will be a phased operation. The 2018-19 Budget allocation will enable the AFP to expand the staff of its existing Child Protection Operations by around 30 per cent over the next financial year and then a further 30 per cent the following year.
It will be Brisbane based because of Brisbane's proximity to the Asia-Pacific and its status as a cyber-hub.

Influenza /
Ozflu 2013 /
Australian Influenza Surveillance Report 2013—08 June to 21 June 2013 (#01/2013)
The Australian Influenza Surveillance Report is compiled from a number of data sources, which are used to monitor influenza activity and severity in the community. These data sources include laboratory-confirmed notifications to NNDSS, influenza associated hospitalisations, sentinel influenza-like illness (ILI) reporting from general practitioners and emergency departments, ILI-related call centre calls and community level surveys and sentinel laboratory testing results. A more in-depth end-of-season report is also published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence.
Current Report Summary
Compared with the previous year, most jurisdictions reported higher than usual numbers of influenza notifications during the 2012/13 inter-seasonal period.
The onset of the winter influenza season is usually marked by a distinct and sustained rise in influenza activity. Nationally, influenza activity has continued to remain relatively stable, suggesting that the influenza season has not yet commenced.
As at 21 June 2013, there have been 4,422 laboratory confirmed cases of influenza reported. Currently the NNDSS is receiving around 200 notifications per week from jurisdictions. Compared with more recent years, it appears that the 2013 winter influenza season will be starting later.
Nationally, whilst influenza A remains the predominant influenza virus type (60%), the proportion of influenza B notifications has continued to increase. During 2012 the season there were very few notifications of pandemic (H1N1) 2009. Whilst the majority of influenza A reports are unsubtyped, so far in 2013 more than 9% of overall notifications have been reported as pandemic (H1N1) 2009.
There have been low numbers of influenza associated hospitalisations so far in 2013.
The WHO has reported that influenza activity in the northern hemisphere temperate zones has continued to decrease to low levels. In the temperate countries of South America and South Africa, influenza activity has started to increase, consistent with their influenza seasonal trends.
The United States have reported four cases of the influenza A(H3N2) variant virus that were associated with fair attendance and contact with swine. The virus detected is the same as the variant viruses detected during the 2012 multi-state outbreak, which was also associated with swine exposure at agricultural fairs.
The WHO has reported that since 21 May 2013, no new human cases of influenza A(H7N9) have been reported.

The past week or so it's started to feel like spring. We've been sporadically catching a few decent kings and we've been seeing schoolie dolphin almost everyday, and the tails are starting to bite. This morning is the first time the king bite has "Gone Off". We had bites all morning, put 22 in the boat from 8-20#'s and probably had 50 or 60 bites with lot's of cutoffs. 3/4 ounce white jig and ballyhoo combo was the hottest ticket this morning but we had plenty of bites on just plain ballyhoo with a 1/2 ounce lead. We also had a few tails and some bonitas.
The charter boats had some nice dolphin which were out a little deeper from 250-400, they also had kings and some small blackfins. We had a huge school of little blackfins swimming under and around the boat this morning but they were a little on the small side to choke down a ballyhoo. The water was a nice clean green and we had a little north current and for the first time in awhile there were lot's of flying fish out front. Hopefully they will keep it up, sounded like it wasn't as good this afternoon but they still caught a few and some tails. Good luck if you can get out.

Another day, another major masthead change at Condé Nast. On Friday, longtime GQ Creative Director Jim Moore announced he would be stepping down from his role at the title, according to a release from the publishing house.
Moore, who has been at the title for four decades, will maintain his influence at the men's magazine under his new role as creative director-at-large. Per Business of Fashion, details of what exactly that will entail are still under discussion. In the meantime, GQ Style Editor-in-Chief Will Welch will take over the creative director position in January. He will retain his role at GQ Style.
In November, GQ laid off a number of staffers as part of a larger Condé Nast initiative to cut costs; the magazine also reduced its frequency by one issue per year, bringing the total down to 11.

Trump adds Alan Dershowitz to his impeachment team
Posted January 17, 2020 / Ron Kampeas, JTA
Share via Twitter: Trump adds Alan Dershowitz to his impeachment team Share via Facebook: Trump adds Alan Dershowitz to his impeachment team Share via Email: Trump adds Alan Dershowitz to his impeachment team
WASHINGTON (JTA) — Alan Dershowitz, the constitutional scholar, will join President Donald Trump's impeachment defense team.
"Professor Dershowitz will present oral arguments at the Senate trial to address the constitutional arguments against impeachment and removal," New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman quoted Trump's legal team as saying on Friday.
The team is led by Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel, and Jay Sekulow, Trump's personal lawyer. Also joining is Ken Starr, who as an independent counsel led the impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton in the late 1990s.
Dershowitz, although he was not part of Clinton's defense team, robustly defended the president in opinion pieces and on television during Starr's proceedings. Now they will be on the same team.
"While Professor Dershowitz is nonpartisan when it comes to the Constitution — he opposed the impeachment of President Bill Clinton and voted for Hillary Clinton — he believes the issues at stake go to the heart of our enduring Constitution," the statement said.
Dershowitz, a Harvard law professor and author, is a prominent defender of Israel and has consulted with Trump on his Israel policy. He has appeared on cable news as a defender of Trump during the recent impeachment crisis and is often touted by Trump defenders as a liberal who is defending a conservative president on principle.
The U.S. House of Representatives impeached Trump last month on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress stemming from his pressure last year on Ukraine to launch an investigation into his political rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. The Senate trial began this week.

Southeastern student newspaper honored with first-place award
HAMMOND – Southeastern Louisiana University's student newspaper The Lion's Roar has been recognized with a first-place award in the 2018 American Scholastic Press Association's newspaper competition in New York.
The newspaper earned 895 total points out of a possible 1,000 in the competition and was noted by judges as "an excellent school newspaper which shows the creativity and journalistic knowledge of your editors, reporters, writers, photographers, layout/graphics designers, advertising/sales managers and advisor."
"I am extremely proud of the dedication and effort our students put into each article published," said Dr. Lee E. Lind, director of Student Publications. "On Southeastern's campus the newspaper is the chronicle of our daily lives, an important channel for community discussion and information, and the learning laboratory for the development of superior journalistic skills. This recognition from the ASPA is an indicator of the success Southeastern students have achieved in those areas."
The Lion's Roar publishes between 28 and 32 print issues per year and is augmented by daily updates and online content at www.lionsroarnews.com. The ASPA annual contest is also a review of publication quality, and The Lion's Roar received a perfect score in the category of page design.
Editor-in-Chief Larshell Green, a senior communications major from Hammond, leads the staff of student reporters.
"I am impressed and grateful for the honors that the staff and I have received for our work associated with The Lion's Roar," said Green. "With each assignment or task completed, I witnessed an expansion in the staff's confidence and skills in creativity, journalism, photography, editing and communication. I couldn't be more proud of the work that we have created together as a professional family. The legacy of the work that we have created will surpass our collegiate careers and leave a lasting imprint on the hearts of our readers."
The American Scholastic Press Association competition judges approximately 2,000 yearbooks, newspapers, and magazines annually from high schools, colleges, and universities across the nation. The competition is in its 38th continuous year of operation.
