Jon Lester retires after 16 MLB seasons with the Red Sox and Cubs
By The West News January 12, 2022 Updated: January 12, 2022 2 Mins Read
Jon Lester's 16-year MLB career is over.
Lester told ESPN's Jesse Rogers that his body can no longer take a full season.
"It's kind of run its course," Lester added. "It's getting harder for me physically. The little things that come up throughout the year turned into bigger things that hinder your performance."
Lester had time with the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Oakland Athletics, St. Louis Cardinals, and Washington Nationals. He was an All-Star five times and finished second in the Cy Young voting four times, including in 2016.
Lester was drafted by the Red Sox in the second round in 2002. His rookie season took a drastic turn at the conclusion of the year when he was diagnosed with cancer after complaining of back pain.
Lester returned to the Red Sox late in the 2007 season after receiving chemotherapy. In Game 4 of the 2007 World Series, he got his first playoff start. He pitched 5.2 shutout innings to help the Red Sox win the series 4-3.
Lester spent his first nine years with Boston before being dealt to the A's in July 2014. He helped Oakland into the playoffs, but they were defeated by the Kansas City Royals in the wild card game.
Lester joined the Cubs as a free agent that winter. Il re-joined Chicago for a six-year, $155 million agreement to reconnect with former Boston frontman Theo Epstein.
Lester was a key player in the Cubs' 2016 World Series success. He was 3-1 with a 2.02 ERA and 30 K's in 35.2 innings. On two days rest, he relieved in Game 7 of the World Series versus Cleveland.
Lester's career ended in 2016, despite an All-Star appearance and a ninth-place finish in Cy Young voting two years later.
The Cardinals traded Lester to the Nationals midway through the 2021 season.
Tossing 2,740 innings, Lester finished 200-117, 3.66 ERA, with 2,488 strikeouts.

It was proposed that student mathematics gain scores on the Georgia Criteria Referenced Competency Test (CRCT], motivation ant1 teacher expectation might be explained by teacher perceptions of the selected independent variables: Instructional I leadership, professional development, teacher methodology, achievement lesson planning, teacher instructional delivery and teacher college preparation. The correlation design did not include a control group. Thirty-seven of the 48 teachers responded to a 51 -item, five-point ordinal scale questionnaire in a metropolitan Atlanta elementary school. Significant correlations were student CRCT performance; motivation and teacher expectations were intercorrelated and all three variables were significantly correlated with the Achievement Lesson Planning system (ALPS), college preparation, instructional supervision, math grouping, and staff professional development. Higher order thinking skills (HOTS) were only significantly related to CRCT and teacher expectation. Based on these results. five third grade teachers were selected for treatment, and were asked to rate their 95 students' ability to respond to higher order thinking skills in addition to providing teacher and student demographic information. Based on the results of both surveys, a treatment was conducted to counteract the identified causal variables for low student responsiveness in teaching of higher order thinking skills in order to improve student mathematic performance. The researcher (the principal) trained the third grade teachers to function as a Grade Achievement 1em (GAT) on the Empowerment Management of meeting (EMOM) model and to utilize the ALPS to plan lessons so as to counteract the causal variables for low student performance and to teach for higher order thinking skills utilizing the Observation Based Instructional Assessment System (OBIA). The results of ANOVA indicated that all teachers made significant gains on the teaching of HOTS in mathematics. In a factor analysis, HOTS gain scores in mathematics were loaded in component I inversely only with teacher gender. The results of regression analysis indicated that student CRCT math performance was significantly predicted only by their Pre-CRCT score and teacher rating of their math performance. It was suggested that the principal provided professional development at the Grade Achievement Team (GAT) level in the Management of Meeting (EMOM) model for conducting Achievement Lesson Planning System (ALPS) and Observation Based Instructional Assessment (OBIA) on the teaching of higher order thinking skills (HOTS).

Rashad Khalifa (; * 19. November 1935 in Kafr az-Zayyat; † 31. Januar 1990 in Tucson, Arizona, USA) war ein ägyptisch-amerikanischer Biochemiker, der als "Entdecker" des "Korancodes" (Code 19) bekannt wurde.

Leben
Khalifa, ein ägyptischer Muslim, zog 1959 nach der Erlangung eines akademischen Grades an der Ain-Schams-Universität in die Vereinigten Staaten, wo er an der Arizona State University ein Studium der Biochemie begann und an der University of California promovierte. Später wurde er amerikanischer Staatsbürger, heiratete eine Amerikanerin und arbeitete als Chemiker für die Organisation der Vereinten Nationen für industrielle Entwicklung. Er gründete eine islamische Gruppe welche sich als United Submitters International bezeichnet. Deren Glaubensgrundsätze beinhalten die Hingabe zu Gott (Islam), die Ablehnung der Sunna als eine Quelle der islamischen Rechtsprechung, und das Studium des Korans als einzige Quelle des Islams (Koranismus). Für viele Jahre war Khalifa Imam der Moschee in Tucson in Arizona.

1969 begann Khalifa, den Koran mit Hilfe von Computern mathematisch zu analysieren, und ihn auf bestimmte Zahlenfolgen zu untersuchen. 1974 gelangte er zu dem Schluss, dass er die gesuchte wunderliche Zahlenfolge gefunden hatte. Laut Khalifa ist das heilige Buch des Islam durchgängig mit der Zahl 19 codiert. Seine Annahme basiert auf dem Vers "Über ihm sind neunzehn (Engel)." (in Sure 74:30). Im Verlaufe seines Lebens publizierte Khalifa zahlreiche Bücher über das "Wunder der 19".

Anfangs wurden Khalifas Botschaften in der islamischen Welt relativ gut aufgenommen; dies allerdings änderte sich mit Gerüchten, dass er die Sunna ablehne. Überdies erschienen viele seiner Lehren bei den sunnitischen und schiitischen Gelehrten als ketzerisch. Er behauptete zum Beispiel, der Gesandte des Bundes aus dem Vers 3:81 zu sein. So setzt Khalifa seinen eigenen Namen in einen der Verse des Koran: "Wir haben dich (Khalifa) nur als Verkünder froher Botschaft und als Warner entsandt" (25:56).

1990 wurde Khalifa in seiner Moschee in Tucson erstochen. 2012 wurde ein im kanadischen Calgary lebender trinidadischer Staatsbürger von den kanadischen Behörden an die Vereinigten Staaten ausgeliefert und dort wegen Mordes an Rashad Khalifa zu einer lebenslänglichen Haftstrafe verurteilt. Als Motiv des Täters wurde in der Urteilsbegründung eine Auseinandersetzung über Khalifas Thesen genannt.

Khalifas Name und die 19er-Theorie spielen in Anne Holts Krimi Gotteszahl eine Rolle.

Q: Is Shannon Half-Sky gone forever if she dies? I brought her on the mission to the mental asylum, and she and another runner I hired (DeMorgana) died.
When I hired runners for the next mission, DeMorgana was still on the list (she costs nuyen to hire) but Shannon wasn't. Are the ones that cost 0 nuyen gone forever if they die?

A: Most of the runners that cost 0¥ are restricted to certain missions. I am Not 100% sure if shannon will reappear later, but for now you wont be able to hire her again. She basically helps you for free on your next run After you help her, and then goes her own ways.
To answer the essence of your question: no, Runners will not disappear from the game if they get taken out during a Mission, they will be available for hire later on, but special npcs (e.g. Coyote or Shannon) might simply not be available for a Mission.

While it's tempting to head out to the garden center, buy a bunch of plants, and stick them in the ground there are some important things that should be done before you even start the actual gardening part of having a vegetable garden.
Start small — A common mistake made when starting a vegetable garden is taking on too much, too quickly. Until you get a good feel for the amount of work involved with growing your own produce its best to start on a smaller scale and then expand in following growing seasons. Think about the vegetables your family really enjoys and start there. It's pointless to plant — especially in the early growing season — something that your family might not even eat when you put it on the table.
Maximize space — Starting small doesn't mean you have to only grow a couple of plants. When designing a garden plan make sure to utilize all of the space you have available. Think about growing up (trellises) as well as outward, and look into companion planting (planting more than one variety in a space). This allow you to successfully put more plants into a smaller space.
Lots of light — Vegetables need an incredible amount of sunlight to grow and produce a harvestable crop. Sunlight is needed to power photosynthesis within the plant; photosynthesis is a process that takes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil to generate sugars the plant uses as food. Most vegetable plants prefer locations that receive at least 8 hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight every day.
Good soil — One of the most important aspects of growing vegetables is starting off with a good foundation, i.e. quality soil; without a decent base to start from, your plants will struggle all season. Good soil is important because of the relationship it develops with the roots. It will help to adequately anchor roots, providing support to the plants; it will allow access to nutrients, water, and air; and good soil will allow roots to grow and "stretch" out without interference. Take a look at the soil you have to work with and amend it by adding some organic matter or composted manure if it needs it.
Plant spacing — When you purchase plants, they will list on the label the recommended plant spacing. It's important to follow this when planting to give plants adequate room to grow. If you plant them much closer together they will compete with each other for water and nutrients within the soil, impeding their growth and potentially reducing their harvest.
Fertilizers — As plants grow they are constantly feeding on certain nutrients found in the soil that are essential for functions within their cells. Over time, they can deplete even the most fertile soil, making it necessary to periodically add plant "food" to grow strong, healthy plants. A quick look in any garden center will give you a wide variety of fertilizers to choose from that you can tailor to your gardening preference (organic, conventional, etc.). Any products purchased will give you detailed instructions on how much fertilizer to apply and when to apply it for optimal results. Always make sure to water fertilizers in well to avoid potentially negative side effects to surrounding plants and water bodies.
Watering — No matter what vegetable plants are being grown, they all need sufficient water to grow vigorously. This can be a little tricky in certain places. Some areas of the country receive plenty of rainfall to water gardens sufficiently; other areas need supplemental irrigation to make their gardens grow. In order to provide the water your plants need you can either drag a hose or watering can around the yard or you can cut down on your manual labor and install an irrigation system. These systems can be turned on manually or run automatically via an irrigation valve like Wise Orchard's that adjusts the watering scheduling according to the weather.
Mulch — Many people often overlook this step, but it's an important one when vegetable gardening. Spread 2-3" of mulch throughout the garden beds to cover the exposed soil surface making sure to keep it from directly touching the stem of the plants. Mulching the exposed soil will most importantly help to retain moisture within the soil, but will also reduce the germination of weed seeds and slowly breakdown to add nutrients to the soil over time.
Beneficial insects — No, it's not necessary to eradicate any and all insects that want to hang out in your garden. Truthfully it's really good to encourage beneficial insects such as honey bees, butterflies, and ladybugs to come hang out in your vegetable garden. This can be done by planting small patches of plants that will attract them. These beneficial insects will help to encourage pollination of your vegetable plants and may help to ward off damaging insect predators.
Pest/weed management — It's inevitable that your vegetable garden is going to succumb to the occasional weed or insect pest. Make sure to pull weeds quickly by hand, or use an herbicide, to minimize the competition with your vegetables. Treat insects pests quickly too and remove entire plants and dispose of them properly if an infestation is past the point of being able to successfully control.
Even after your first growing season has wrapped up, it's important to think about a couple of concepts that carry over from year to year.
Keep a journal — It may some like a silly aspect of gardening, but it's really beneficial to keep a journal or notebook that talks about your garden failures and successes. This will help you in future growing seasons if you encounter problems; you can quickly look back and see what you did in the past that did or did not work.
Crop rotation — Every year it's important to rotate the growing location of crops. Divide your plants into groups/families that are similar — legumes, root crops, leaf crops, and fruits — so that you can rotate where the entire family is planted every couple of years, if not yearly. This will help to manage soil fertility related to nitrogen-fixing plants, reduce problems with soil-borne diseases, and potentially reduce the incidence of some insect pests as well.
Growing a vegetable garden is a great venture to take on for many reasons. Not only are you learning the responsibilities of gardening and enjoying time outdoors, you can provide healthy, fresh produce for your kitchen table. If you're just getting started gardening some of the tips listed above will help you get started off on the right foot, helping to encourage a productive growing season.

Crisis: you open your fridge and there is not a piece of produce to be found. Sure, you could go to the grocery store and buy some fruit. Or, you could make your way to campus and pick it yourself.
Nole Lake, the superintendent of the University of Florida's grounds back in the '50s, brought the first edible plants to campus. More recently, Marty Werts, the superintendent until last year, planted 50 citrus trees and many avocados.
Thanks to the Hawthorn Group clay formation, which runs under the campus, tropical plants flourish around the university. Clay holds more water than sand, creating a warmer environment for heat-loving plants.
UF's campus is, on average, 10 degrees warmer than other parts of Alachua County, said Jason Smith, an associate professor of forest pathology at the university.
"It's incredible how much can grow here that can't grow west of [Interstate] 75," he said.
The jelly palm, for example, is native to South America, but can be found around campus. The fruit is a yellow-orange color. It's sweet and tart at the same time. Unless you're dedicated enough to bring a ladder to the North Lawn, the best way to harvest these cherry-sized fruits is to wait for them to drop from the trees and hope you get there before the insects do.
Just about any plant on campus is free for the picking. Exceptions include all research gardens, student plots across from Fifield Hall and the student agriculture garden by the bat houses.
However, behind the rented student agriculture plots lies the ethnoecology garden, home to tropical species such as bananas, kiwis and papayas, among other native fruits, vegetables and herbs.
Ethan Kelly, president of the Organic and Sustainable Agriculture Club, organizes the maintenance of the garden. This summer, that meant whacking away at overgrown plants with a machete; now, the club is busy putting peppers and other fall crops in the ground.
Although the plots are open, freeloading is not encouraged. Anyone harvesting frequently should spend some time helping in the garden.

Obituary for Jean M. Barclay
JEAN MARILYN BARCLAY was born on June 21, 1922 to Melvin and Edna (Hallsten) Erickson in Sheyenne, North Dakota. She spent her childhood years in Sheyenne. At age 14, she moved with her family to Bismarck, North Dakota. She graduated from Bismarck High School in 1940. She attended Bismarck Junior College for two years and then headed to the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, North Dakota where she earned her bachelor's degree in Education. Following her education, she worked for a couple years at a government school in North Dakota before moving to Magnolia, Minnesota for a teaching job. Although a bit hesitant at making the move to Magnolia, it was here that she met the love of her life, Pat Barclay, at the local café. They were united in marriage on June 27, 1946 back in Sheyenne. The couple made their home in Luverne where Pat had a Plumbing and Heating business and Jean was a homemaker. She loved being able to be home and care for her family. When Pat retired, the couple enjoyed spending the winter months in Florida and their summers at home in Luverne. Following Pat's death in 1988, Jean continued wintering in Florida for the next 14 years.
On Friday, January 8, 2021, Jean died peacefully at the Good Samaritan Society – Mary Jane Brown Home in Luverne at the age of 98 years, six months and 17 days.
Jean was a member of Grace Lutheran Church in Luverne. She taught Sunday School and Bible Study and was a part of Luther League. She was an avid reader and enjoyed getting together with friends to play bridge. One of her passions in life was travel. She traveled to many states and across the world, including trips to Africa, Australia, Russia, Central America and Europe.
Jean is remembered by her son, John David and his wife Vicki of St. Charles, Illinois; son-in-law, David Gaona of Bluffton, South Carolina; two granddaughters, Patricia and Camille Barclay; a brother, Donald Erickson of New Rockford, North Dakota; a special brother, Robert Cook of Fargo, North Dakota; and other family. She was preceded in death by her husband of 42 years, Pat; daughter, Barbara Jean Barclay; parents; and a brother and his wife, Mayo and Elaine Erickson.
"This is the day that the Lord has made! Let us rejoice and be glad in it!" - Jean said this every day when she woke up and stepped out of bed.

Chula Vista's (7-3) Anontio Garcia pitch 7 innings of 4 hit baseball. He kept the Monarch (5-3) hitters off balance with well located pitches. The Monarchs pitcher, Frank Gutierrez, kept the Monarchs in the game by throwing 5 scoreless innings. The Spartans broke through in the 6th with three runs and added one more in the 7th for a 4-0 win.


The reason we have not written anything for a few days is that four out of six members of our family have visited Italy. It was a transition year school tour and we spent four beautiful and intense days in the area around Lake Garda.
April is really the month that transforms the land here in the West of Ireland, probably more than any other month of the year. It usually starts of quite cold and barren but by the end of the month everything has exploded into a crescendo of colour and form.

The coat of arms of Albania (Albanian: Stema e Republikës së Shqipërisë) is an adaptation of the Flag of Albania and is based on the symbols of Gjergj Kastrioti Skanderbeg. It features the black double-headed eagle, documented in official use since 1458, as evidenced from a sealed document uncovered in the Vatican Secret Archive (fund: Miscellanea, vol. XXXIX, doc. 2398), addressed to Pope Pius II and co-sealed by notary Johannes Borcius de Grillis.
The stylized gold helmet is partially based on the model of crown-like rank that once belonged to Skanderbeg, currently on display at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, first mentioned in 1593 in the Ambras armory inventory and depicted in 1601/03 in the "Armamentarium Heroicum" of Jakob Schrenck von Notzing. The ruler of Austria, Ferdinand II, acquired the helmet from the Duke of Urbino, so mentioned in a letter sent to him from the duke, dated 15 October 1578.

The helmet as an integral component in the coat of arms was instituted for the first time by the president of the republic Ahmet Zogu on 12 July 1926.

Official regulation
The coat of arms of the Republic is described in Article 14 of the Constitution of Albania:

The design is further specified in articles VII and VIII of Law 8926:

Expanded usage
The expanded usage of the coat of arms of the Republic is explained by decision no. 474 of the Council of Ministers, dated 10 July 2003.

The usage of the coat of arms of the Republic, is later included in the Official Ceremonial (), approved by decision no. 229, dated 23 April 2004 which states:

Conception of the double-headed eagle

Significance of the helmet

Skanderbeg's helmet is mentioned, along with two swords, in the inventory of the Ambras Castle armory in 1593, inherited by Archduke Ferdinand II and in the catalogue known as 'Armamentarium Heroicum' published in 1601 by Jakob Schrenk von Notzing. From one of 125 portraits of European princes in plates engraved by Dominicus Custos, after designs by Giovanni Battista Fontana, Skanderbeg is shown with the helmet and a sword. The plates were accompanied with a text by Schrenk von Notzing giving a brief profile of the subject. Archduke Ferdinand had himself led a campaign against the Ottomans in Hungary in 1556 at the behest of his father, Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I, so it was not perhaps surprising that he would want to include the arms of Skanderbeg in his collection.

In 1605, Ambras Castle was sold to the Austrian Emperor, and in 1806 the arms were transferred to Belvedere Palace and then finally, in 1888, to the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. In recent years, the arms have been the subject of study by the Museum's curator, Matthias Pfaffenbichler.

The iron forged helmet is likely of Italian origin, thought to have been made around 1460. The lower part of the helmet and the neck protection are missing and cracks in the base have been covered by a sewn leather band under which are traces of the original silk. A copper band with gold plated border is adorned with six rosettes, most of which are 16th century restorations, though the one at the back dates to the 15th century. Between the rosettes, an inscription in a particular type of Gothic minuscule on a hatched ground reads 'in/per/ra/to/re/bt'.

Skënder Anamali, an archaeologist and scholar on medieval history, has proposed that the decorative band with the inscription and the rosettes were added by Skanderbeg's descendants. The initials of the inscription are usually rendered as Jezus Nazarenus /Principi Emathie /Regi Albaniae * Terrori Osmanorum * Regi Epirotarum * Benedictat Te which translate as Jesus of Nazareth Blesses Thee Prince of Emathia, King (or Kingdom) of Albania, Terror of the Ottomans, King (or Kingdom) of Epirus. Such titles, however, were not used during Skanderbeg's lifetime.

Pfaffenbichler's close inspection of the inscription confirms the view that it was added to the helmet after Skanderbeg's lifetime. The transverse part of the letter 't' is from a calligraphic font called Fraktur, developed by Wolfgang Spitzberg, the scribe of the Chancellery, and used for the first time around 1500. Fraktur only appeared in wider use from 1517, about 50 years after the death of Skanderbeg. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that the decorative band with its inscription are not original – though one of the rosettes dating to the 15th century may possibly have been a replacement of an original fitting.

The helmet is distinguished for its goat's head crest. There are a number of theories explaining the association of the goat's head with Skanderbeg. One such theory is that it relates to the rams' horns, a symbol of Zeus Ammon, worn by Alexander the Great, who was Epirote by descent from his mother Olympias. The famed King of Epirus, Pyrrhus, also wore a helmet that had, according to Plutarch, a "towering crest and … goat's horns".

The goat's head is partially hammered in copper, engraved and gold plated. The eye sockets that today are empty would have been inlaid. The shape of the crest hole on top of the helmet does not precisely mold into the shape needed for the goat's head crest so the two parts may have not originally gone together.

The official newspaper of the Albanian government, Perlindja e Shqipëniës, in its opening page article titled "Speech of the King's in-law – Royal Court – Crown of Albania", dated 28 February 1914, gives an elaborate depiction of the coat of arms:

An illustration of the coat of arms was published for the first time in an article by Eberhard Freiherr von Wechmar in the weekly illustrated newspaper Die Woche (1914), issue no. 10, p. 387. The extract from german reads:

The coat of arms is once more featured in the form of a diplomatic seal on a royal invitation letter addressed to captain N. Thomson, the brother of Lt. Colonel L.W.Thomson.
It bears the prince's coat of arms and that of the family of princess Sophie, both under the Albanian crown.

The said "Charter", made up of 54 articles grouped into 7 Titles, makes no mention yet of a coat of arms.

The arms of the Kingdom of Albania were promulgated by royal decree nr. 141, dated 28 September 1939. Summarized in seven article paragraphs, they are described as follows:

| Article 95 of the Statute of the People's Republic of Albania (1946) describes the state emblem as follows:

Article 107 of the Constitution of the People's Socialist Republic of Albania (1976) maintains the same design phraseology as its precursor although expressed in a whole condensed sentence:  Designed by acclaimed painter Sadik Kaceli, the emblem was initially adopted on 14 March 1946. It was readopted with minor amendments on 28 December 1976.

The shapes of the emblem have undergone several changes over the decades and are explained in chronological order below:

Model (3): This image of the emblem is found in the Constitution of the People's Republic of Albania published in 1964 by the Albanian Committee for Cultural Relations and Friendship with Foreign Countries. The interweaving of the wheat stems is shown in right profile, meanwhile the wreaths are simplified in the shape of a rhombus or lozenge. The eagle's chest comes forth in a triangle-like posture, the minuscule eyes are rounded and there is a widening of the claws. The overall color scheme is lightly faded.

Model (4): The emblem shown here was published by the nationally syndicated satire magazine Hosteni in its 1st issue of the 39th annual edition (956), dated 12 January 1983. The lifelike image was used in the 500 L commemorative gold coin from 1969. A matching illustration of the emblem is featured on the cover page of the 1st issue, 27th annual edition, of the military magazine "10 Korriku" (1973).

Model (5): Unlike with previous models, the wreath shown here is olive in color and appears more rounded, attuned to its soviet counterpart. Interestingly, the shape of the eagle is almost identical to the model found in the 1998 coat of arms. This exact emblem is seen in the 10 L silver coin minted in 1990. The only difference being the word MAJ which is printed as MAI, suggesting that it was likely reproduced in Italy.

Model (6): The model of the emblem generally accepted as the official variant was pubished by "Albania today", a political and informative review, in its 1st issue (32) of the 7th annual edition (1977). This model has been used in banknotes and fiscal stamps since 1947.

On 7 April 1992, the Assembly formed after the early elections, in its afternoon session, voted to remove the communist emblem as the official symbol of the state including the removal of the star from the country's flag and established a parliamentary commission tasked with studying the proposal of a new emblem of the state.
|-
| align="center"|
| During the plenary session of 13 November 1992, members of the Assembly, having previously abolished the use of communist symbols as official representative symbols of the state, decided to adopt a new coat of arms of the Republic.

Under proposal was the amendment of law no. 7491, dated 25.04.1991, "On the Main Constitutional Provisions" which propagated the inclusion of a new chapter titled "Flag, Coat of Arms and The Capital".

Article 3 of the chapter, as read by the secretary of the assembly, stated the following: {{Cquote|quote="The coat of arms of the Republic of Albania displays a black double-headed eagle placed on an escutcheon, a varriated type shield in red color. The shield is to have a straight line on top, that comes narrowing at the bottom. On top of the shield are written the words: Republika e Shqipërisë".
|source=Law no. 7491, dated 25.04.1991,  Article 3: "§ Flag, Coat of Arms and The Capital"}}

After several discussions and with no objections, the chairman of the assembly Pjetër Arbnori took the microphone to announce that article 3 was approved unanimously.

The image of the coat of arms is found in various documents of the state archive and was once suspended at the main  curtain wall in front of the rostrum of the national assembly.

Can You Cook Over a Gel Fuel Firepit?
By Marisa Swanson
Gel fuel is used in fireplaces (both indoor and outdoor), grills and fire pits. It is also used in catering to keep food dishes warm that are sitting out for a period of time. Gel fuel is odorless and doesn't produce smoke, making it an ideal way to heat a fireplace in a home without a chimney. Outdoor fire pits allow you to enjoy the warmth and dancing flames and even cook over a gel-fueled fire.
Modern fire pits sold on the market today are decorative places to create a fire. A benefit of a fire pit is the ability to move it (before you start the fire) to various parts of the lawn or garden, allowing you to enjoy it wherever you like. Fire pits come in a wide array of sizes, colors and shapes. A gel-fueled fire pit does not use coal or lighter fluid to generate its flame. Instead, it uses canisters filled with a flammable gel.
Cooking on a Gel-Fueled Fire Pit
Many people are cautious about cooking directly over a gel fuel's flame because of concerns about chemical emissions. However, this worry is unfounded. Gel fuels are odorless and the chemicals will not affect your food. Sterno is one of the most prominent brand name creators of gel fuel and, according to the company's website, cooking directly over the flame is perfectly safe in terms of chemical emissions. They do, however, caution against open flame cooking because drippings that can come from food cause flare-ups that can result in injury. You should also not eat food that has cooking fuel on it or that has fallen in the flame.
To avoid food drippings or direct contact with the cooking fuel, there are many accessories available to transform a fire pit into a proper grill. You can cook food in a way that will minimize any injury resulting from flare-ups or contact.

Florida environmental groups achieve major clean water settlement with Pilgrim's Pride, the world's second largest chicken producer
North Florida's imperiled Suwannee River just got some much needed help from Environment Florida and Sierra Club's Suwannee St. John's Group, who worked with citizens to win the largest ever civil penalty to combat ongoing Clean Water Act violations being committed by Pilgrim's Pride, the 2nd largest poultry producer in the world.
Sierra Club and Environment Florida members and attorneys announce the filing of consent decree at the Bryan Simpson US Federal Courthouse in Jacksonville, FL. front row: Jenna Stevens, Jennifer Rubiello, Merrillee Malwitz-Jipson, Heather Govern, Whitey Markle back row: Dave Wilson, Mike Goldschlag, Mike Meng, Linda Bremer photo by Jose Matos
The groups filed the lawsuit earlier this year to stop Pilgrim's Pride from discharging illegal levels of pollutants, three times the allowable limits, into the Suwannee River, an "Outstanding Florida Water" that is home to 62 freshwater springs and several state parks.
The settlement, if approved by U.S. District Judge Timothy J. Corrigan, would require Pilgrim's Pride to make equipment upgrades, investigate the possibility of eliminating or significantly reducing all discharges to the Suwannee River, put $1.3 million into a Sustainable Farming Fund, and pay $130,000 to the US Treasury, what is believed to be the largest Clean Water Act penalty in a citizen enforcement suit in Florida history.

The complaint alleges that the company violated standards for:
• nitrogen, which can cause excessive algae growth;
• "specific conductance," which can indicate high levels of chloride, nitrate or sulfate;
• "biological oxygen demand," which can suck up the oxygen needed by aquatic organisms; and
• "whole effluent chronic toxicity," which is an indication that wastewater is toxic and can harm aquatic life.
Filed in the consent decree settlement terms would require Pilgrim's Pride to:
• conduct a comprehensive study on eliminating the plant's wastewater discharge to the Suwannee River;
• conduct a toxicity identification evaluation to address the cause of the plant's toxicity violations;
• conduct a water use and reuse study, an analysis of the plant's water supply system, and various upgrades to the wastewater treatment plant; and
• pay $1.43 million, of which $1.3 million would be used to create a Sustainable Farming Fund designed to improve soil, groundwater, and surface water quality in the Suwannee Basin, and $130,000 that would be paid to the U.S. Treasury as a civil penalty.
The Stetson Water Institute will be managing the Sustainable Farming Fund for farmers in the Suwannee River basin that intend to use sustainable farming practices.

On November 17, Sierra Club along with partners and volunteers, held a press conference along the New River in Fort Lauderdale, Florida to send a message to world leaders in Bonn, Germany that Broward leaders are #Stillin, committed to local climate action and a just and equitable clean renewable energy future. Speakers included federal, state, county and local elected officials, as well as partners and community leaders engaged in addressing climate change and building a resilient, sustainable and equitable clean renewable energy future. Over 35 people attended the mid-day press event, which was held alongside a river that already swells up and floods streets, parks and communities as a result of sea level rise.
Sierra Club organizers involved included: Diana Umpierre, Jon Ullman and Patrick Ferguson. Our partners included The New Florida Majority, Organizing for Action, For Our Future, US Climate Action Network, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, Food & Water Watch and Citizens Climate Lobby Broward Chapter.

Sierra Club's Opening Remarks
By Diana Umpierre, Organizing Representative, Sierra Club
Today, in Germany, nations of the world wrapped up their talks at COP23, the UN Climate Change Conference, where they met to advance the goals of the Paris climate agreement. Sadly, last June, President Trump announced the US would withdraw from this historic Agreement. This decision does not represent the will of the majority of Americans, and certainly NOT from South Florida. Many government and business leaders across the United States are reaffirming their commitments to 100% clean, renewable energy. A few days ago, the Sierra Club's Ready For 100 Campaign released a report that showcases 10 of nearly 50 US cities that have made ambitious commitments, which include Orlando, St Pete and Sarasota. Additionally, about 170 mayors across the country signed a pledge called Mayors for 100% Clean Energy. Broward Co mayors have made more pledges that any other county in the US. We can't afford to wait to act on climate. Extreme weather events like Irma and Maria that devastated Puerto Rico, where I grew up, are reminders that is more important than ever to act and to end our dependence on fossil fuels. Just yesterday, we heard of oil spilled from the Keystone pipeline. Closer to home, we are facing the threat of oil drilling in Broward Everglades. So, We are Still In, because we have the right to a clean sustainable environment. And, we do this work, not alone, but in partnership with many others, including local leaders like those present today.
Quotes from Speakers
US Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23): "We simply don't have the option of denying climate change any longer, we deal with these realities every day... Importantly, the failure to address climate change virtually ensures that other countries leapfrog the US in creating clean energy and green jobs, which are the future of the world's energy economy... The US simply cannot compete in a 21st century global economy by clinging to 20th century energy policy… There's a reason the business community and labors unions came together to strongly urge the President to remain a part of the agreement. Renewable energy is a massive job creator… If President Trump won't lead from the top, then America and Americans will lead from the bottom up and make sure we can make improvements so we can arrest global warming and climate change."
FL Senator Gary Farmer (D-34): "This is really an issue that is non debatable… 70% of Americans support our involvement in the Paris climate accord and recognize the environmental and business threats caused by rising sea levels and climate change in general.. FL has more private property at risk than any other state in our country… from a purely economic point of view, climate change is a huge threat to the State of FL more so than probably any other state in the country, which leads us to scratch our heads and wonder why our Governor.. [has] turned a blind eye to this issue… We must get America back on the right track and we must reject President Trump's overtures to forget about climate change. This is our country, this is our state, this is our community and it's up to us to fight to protect it."
Broward County Vice Mayor Beam Furr: "We've been in; we are still in and we're going to stay in...This week, Broward County voted to sign the Under2 MOU… We have an audit going on right now on every single public building to find out how much energy is being used, .. when that audit is complete, we will be looking at the recommendations to see how to keep [greenhouse emissions] under 2 [annual tons per capita]... In addition.. I want everyone to know that we are opposing [oil drilling in Broward] entirely, from every level possible."
Lauderdale-by-the-Sea Vice Mayor Mark Brown: "When you represent a small coastal community, ...it's really hard to wrap your head around big scientific concepts like sea level rise and global climate change, but we are just not sitting back and waiting for the inevitable to happen. Five years ago we launched a major coastal resiliency program.. Since that time, we have planted over 65,000 sea oats on the beach.. and 2500 endangered staghorn corals just offshore... These programs are working. Unlike other communities, we suffered no beach erosion or flooding from Hurricane Irma and we were just awarded the 2017 Environmental Stewardship award by the Florida League of Cities for our leadership in developing the coastal resiliency program.There's a reason why my town is called Lauderdale by the Sea and not Lauderdale in the Sea, that's the beach… and we're doing everything we can to stay that way."
Nancy Metayer, Climate Justice Organizer, The New Florida Majority: "We are all vulnerable but some communities are more than others. Marginalized communities and communities of color are disproportionately affected by climate change. They are faced with the most burden and are able to adapt less. Therefore, I ask our government and local officials to provide equity in emergency response, because [these communities] are the last to get power turned on… exposing them to oppressive heat and life-threatening conditions.. are last to get debris cleaned up leaving them trapped in their homes post-storm… I ask our government to act on climate and to invest in climate resiliency to protect the most vulnerable.. to move towards 100% renewable energy and increase funding to weatherization programs to reduce energy costs for low-income communities and prepare them for solar."
Theresa Brier, on behalf of US Congressman Ted Deutch (FL-22): "We see the impacts of rising sea levels flooding neighborhood streets and businesses on sunny days. Rising oceans are pushing salt water into the Everglades and freshwater canals, threatening the source of drinking water for millions of South Floridians.. These impacts are being felt around the world. Combating climate change requires a global effort… It is more critical than ever that we move toward a future of clean, renewable energy.. The time to act is now."
Daniel Mulieri, on behalf of US Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (FL-20): "Climate change is real and we are facing the effects today… That is why, regardless of the lack of leadership from the White House on this critical issue, we must stand together to take strong concrete steps to combat climate change. President Trump may have isolated the US by making our great nation the only in the world not to participate in the Paris climate agreement but with the response by cities, states and business to step up and do their part, I'm optimistic that we can turn the tide."
George Cavros, FL Energy Policy Attorney, Southern Alliance for Clean Energy: "Here are some good news, we have some cost-effective solutions to the climate crisis and I'll give you an example: it now costs less to generate electricity from solar power than it does from coal, from nuclear and even natural gas. The same holds true for wind. So we are really close to that clean energy future… but we need leadership at the national level to accelerate that move to clean energy so we can mitigate the worst impacts of climate change, we need leadership at the international to coordinate with other countries... Look, we are Americans. Americans lead. That's what we do. We shouldn't be sitting in the sidelines."
Alex Easdale, SE Climate & Energy Network Coordinator for US Climate Action Network: "Local action is the perfect antidote to federal inaction or in this case, federal opposition…. 227 cities, 9 states, over 1600 businesses, over 300 universities and a million people are still in, so we are the right side of history here… We've had mayors from places like Abita Springs, LA and Charleston, SC.. heavily conservative republican areas where the mayors and city councils committed to 100% renewable energy… So, this is not a partisan issue, climate change is a security issue. And it's not about us anymore, it's about our kids and future generations."

In the summer of 2014, a collaborative effort was formed between University of Wisconsin-Madison faculty member Alfonso Morales (Urban and Regional Planning and the School of Human Ecology) and the Oneida Tribe, making it possible to advance two different projects for the tribe – a Food Systems Plan for the Nation, and a Food Center Building Design Project, to support their cultural interest in food, provide an environment for food entrepreneurs, and to stimulate economic activity. The project is now underway under the guidance of Dr. Morales, supported by the Nelson Institute and two USDA grants, the Community and Regional Food Systems project and the "Indicators for Impact" project, and hosted the UW-Madison Center for Community and Nonprofit Studies ("the CommNS").
The Oneida community suffers disproportionately from diabetes. However, there are many efforts in place to reverse this trend. The resurgence of traditional agriculture (Tsyunhehkw^) is one such effort, as well as health and wellness programs, such as Just Move It Oneida. A food system that is able to increase the supply of locally produced healthy foods will be culturally meaningful as well as supportive of Tribal economic and health related goals. This month, the UW graduate and undergraduate students involved in the project made a second site visit to the Oneida reservation to share draft plans and documents for critique from tribe partners. Here is their report from their productive visit.
The day was split between the morning session and the afternoon session. In the morning, Riley Balikian and Jessica Buechler, graduate students in the Urban and Regional Planning Program, along with undergraduate student Tony Castagnoli, worked with project partners to review the elements of the Integrated Food System project and exchanged thoughts on the various elements proposed for the Oneida Nation. Those participating from Oneida were Leanne Doxtater, Ted Skenandore, Jeff Witte, Stacie Danforth, Bill Ver Voort, and Troy Parr.
The group discussed the use of aquaponics (combining hydroponics and aquaculture in a symbiotic food production system) for the purpose of education of tribal youth and to incorporate fish into the planned food system. The group also explored the use of a berry farm and edible landscape. The group also discussed expanding and encouraging composting through potential Oneida mandates that certain establishments participate in composting. In general, there are myriad opportunities to educate the community on various food-related issues while also developing food systems. Efforts could be focused on uses of herbal medicines, processing hunted game, composting, harvesting fruits, and gardening vegetables.
Potential partners can be leveraged to achieve the goals of the project, including the local elementary school to the Sanger B. Powers Correctional Facility. While the food system development will be attractive as a feature to visit and interact with, the key focus is a sustainable food producing system, and should be developed with that goal in mind.
Between the morning session and the afternoon work sessions, the group conducted two site visits: one to the old BP site where the proposed Food Center Building will be, and one to the Tysunhehkwa farm where we saw the various features of their production.
In the afternoon, Jessica presented proposed design concepts for the Food Center Building project. The participants were Jessica Buechler, Riley Balikian, Tony Castagnoli, Leanne Doxtater, Jeff Witte, Stacie Danforth, Joanie Buckley, and Fidel Delgado (of the USDA supporting from Washington, D.C.). After reviewing the initial concepts as presented by Jessica, the group began the process of participatory design, involving all stakeholders in the process. Through this session various elements about the design of the Food Center were determined. Through collaborative methods, it was decided that a pedestrian overpass that will allow for safe road traversal will be included in the design, and that the restaurant/café and cannery to be included should be invisible placements to attract community members. Parking, air circulation, and elements of the entrepreneurial kitchen, stormwater management, and planting plans were also explored and ideas refined. More research needs to be done on some of these elements, and the team will have a chance to conduct that investigation before its next meeting in December.
The team is energized about their vision and the way that the project will have a positive impact on the Oneida community, and will have more impacts and details to share as they move through the next phase of the project. The Oneida Food System project is just one of many examples of CommNS collaboration among UW leaders and community leaders to promote healthy communities.

The incidence rates of psychiatric disorders in Korean women with breast cancer from the nationwide database were much lower than found by previous reports using screening tools. The finding implicates that psychiatric disorders among breast cancer patients tend to be underdiagnosed and undertreated in actual clinical practice. Our epidemiological findings provide important information for establishing a national strategy of cancer care to detect and manage psychiatric problems.

Judge Brett Kavanaugh could be the most qualified nominee in generations.
He's referred to the judge's role as that of an umpire, so I expect…were he to be confirmed to as Supreme Court justice, that he would continue to keep an open mind and just call the issues as they are before him in that case.
I applaud many aspects of Kavanaugh's jurisprudence and have reservations about others…. On the plus side, Kavanaugh is a strong critic of the Chevron doctrine, which requires judicial deference to executive branch agencies' interpretations of federal law…. I am far less enthusiastic about Judge Kavanaugh's support for broad executive power in the national security realm. History shows that excessive judicial deference in this field has led to serious abuses.
Kavanaugh is a check and balance to the overreaching administrative state.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh is an inspired pick by the President for this nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court. Brett's stellar academic credentials having attended Yale for college and law school, clerking for two appellate judges, clerking for Justice Anthony Kennedy, the very judge he would now replace—not to mention having taught at Harvard, Yale, and Georgetown and written numerous articles—would alone make him the best candidate for the job.

Q: How get non-const iterator std::map<char,int> dict;
...
auto pmax = dict.begin(); // here i get const iterator

Can I "explicitly indicate" that the value obtained is a non-constant type?

A: If your dict is not const, begin will return a std::map<char,int>::iterator. Now, the key is const, but the value is not.
auto should give you a std::map<char,int>::iterator; do you have evidence to the contrary?

A: Looking at your code, you are basically implementing std::max_element. So you could rewrite your last output line to:
    std::cout << std::max_element(begin(dict), end(dict),
        [](decltype(*begin(dict)) a, decltype(*begin(dict)) b) {
            return a.second < b.second;
        })->first << std::endl;

Admittedly, the decltype(*begin(dict)) is ugly, which hopefully will be remedied by generic lambdas in C++1y.
The point is, that regardless of whether you have a map::iterator or map::const_iterator when you dereference it, the result will be a std::pair with a const key_type as first argument. So, even if you have two iterators it1, it2 to mutable data (e.g., acquired via map::begin()), you can not re-assign the complete pair that is referenced by those iterators. Thus, *it1 = *it2 won't work, because you are trying to overwrite the mapped_type and the const key_type.

I don't remember all the specifics, but I think ENIGMA's original Mac system, Cocoa in this case, uses X11 or something. I'll ask @JoshDreamland and @RemoveRusky to reply here, because I really don't know much about Mac at all. Second, you should also try the SDL platform in ENIGMA settings, people are saying it works a lot better on Mac right now. That's what TKG and hugar have been using.
If it's really dependant X11 it may as well be removed or switched to use Quartz since X11 isn't supported by MacOS anymore.
It is really dependent on X11 and second, as I understand it, apparently broken quite a bit.
Let me reiterate that the reason we are keeping the original platform systems is for performance reasons. SDL was added simply as an alternative, and also because it saves us work to do Android, which is working in the one pr we have still open. Now, the original systems are more performant arguably because they are at a lower level of abstraction than the SDL system, hence by nature they should be more optimal. Josh actually did a small benchmark to verify this with the Win32 platform at least.
Considering that, fundies open OSX fixes pr (#1294) actually hides the original Cocoa system because it is so badly broken. But simply because it relies on outdated X11 that is no longer supported I don't think is reason enough to delete it just yet, it will still work on older Macs, no? Also, for the record OpenGL is now deprecated on Mac lol, so at some point here I will have to do Vulkan (and these graphics changes recently will help).
All of this is a low priority for me now, the transforms were the last engine fixes I wanted to do before focusing completely on the IDE. And since we mostly have the EGM format ready to go now, that's where my energy will be redirected. Anybody is welcome to try fixing up the Cocoa system so that we don't need to hide it, but I am not going to pressure anybody into doing it. SDL should be good for now.

Historian locates William Shakespeare's London house
April 14 2019 15:44:00
LONDON – Aanadolu Agency
A researcher has identified the address where famed playwright William Shakespeare lived for a time in the British capital.
Theater historian Geoffrey Marsh cross-referenced various pieces of evidence to locate the exact address Shakespeare lived in London between 1597 and 1598, according to a report by the BBC.
Marsh, who spent a decade doing the research, says the bard lived at what is now known as 35 Great St Helen's, a site next to St Helen's Church, in Bishopsgate.
According to the research, Shakespeare lived at that address while he was writing Romeo and Juliet, his tale of star-crossed lovers, but now an office block stands there.
Marsh, director of theater and performing arts for the Victoria and Albert Museum, told the BBC that the place where the bard lived in London "gives us a more profound understanding of the inspirations for his work and life."
"Within a few years of migrating to London from Stratford, he was living in one of the wealthiest parishes in the city, alongside powerful public figures, wealthy international merchants, society doctors, and expert musicians," he said.
Marsh added: "The merchants had connections across Europe and the doctors were linked to the latest progressive thinking in universities in Italy and Germany.
"Living in what was one of the power locales of London would have also enhanced Shakespeare's status as he developed his career, sought a family coat of arms, and planned to buy an impressive and expensive house in Stratford."
Shakespeare, widely hailed as the finest writer in the English language, wrote 37 plays and 154 sonnets between 1590 and 1613.
He is believed to have lived in London from around 1585 to around 1612.
