Two Nigerian Entrepreneurs Shortlisted Among Finalists In Cartier Women's Initiative 2020
in SME, Trending News
Funkola Odeleye and Temie Giwa-Tubosun have been shortlisted as two of three African entrepreneurs who could stand a chance to win the sum of $100,000 in-grant at this year's edition of the Cartier Women's Initiative.
The initiative, which was founded in 2006, has helped women over the years to reach their full potential by shining a light on their achievements while providing them with the necessary financial, social and human capital support in growing their businesses and leadership skills. It is open to women-run and women-owned businesses across the globe with the aim of ensuring a strong and sustainable social and environmental impact as defined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Owing to the social impact of their businesses within Nigeria, Funke Odeleye and Giwa-Tubosun were among the selected 21 finalists from a pool of 1,200 applications from 162 countries across 7 regions. A winner will be selected from each region and take home the sum of $100,000 in prize money, whereas the second and third runner-ups will receive the sum of $30,000.
The Cartier Women's Initiative is a joint partnership project initiated by luxury giant Cartier, the Women's Forum, McKinsey & Company, and INSEAD business school.
Funkola Odeleye is the Co-founder and CEO at DIYlaw, a legal technology company committed to empowering Nigerian entrepreneurs through the provision of accessible and affordable legal services and free legal and business resources. She is also the Corporate-Commercial and Intellectual Property lead at The Longe Practice LP (TLP), an entrepreneur-focused law practice.
Funkola has a Masters in Finance and Financial Law from the School of Oriental & African Studies, the University of London in addition to her LLB from the Lagos State University and BL from the Nigerian Law School. Her legal experience prior to founding TLP and DIYlaw cuts across capital markets, investment advisory, compliance, and securities. In addition, she is an Obama Leader, having been chosen as a 2019 Obama Africa Leader and also an Innovating Justice Fellow of "The Hague Institute for the Innovation of Law" (HiiL).
"With our goals aimed at reducing unemployment in Nigeria by 50 percent by 2030, DIYLaw's services and partnerships at the end of 2019 had created more than 120,000 jobs in Nigeria. Every job increases an individual's financial independence, provides a chance for stability, and in some cases even offers the possibility of moving off the streets" she said.
Temie Giwa-Tubosun, also shortlisted as one of the finalists, is the founder of LifeBank, a medical distribution company with the mission aimed at helping hospitals find critical supplies and deliver them in the right condition and on time within three cities in Nigeria.
Since it's founding in 2016, LifeBank has consistently ensured the timely delivery of vital medical supplies and blood to hospitals in its service area within 55 minutes day or night, thereby relieving doctors of the logistical stress associated with locating blood and giving them ample time to focus on treating patients. The company has transported more than 20,000 units of blood and other medical products, served 450 hospitals, engaged 5,823 donors, and saved over 6,757 lives.
LifeBank's ambitious mission is to save a million lives across Africa in 10 years and to reach all of Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and South America to deliver critical supplies around the clock, eventually becoming a profitable public company.
Seven laureates out of 14 finalists from the 2020 edition of the Cartier women's initiative will be announced in early June. The laureates and finalists will all benefit from financial advisory services, strategy coaching, media visibility, and international networking opportunities, as well as a place on an INSEAD executive education programme.

Космів () — давнє українське село в Польщі, у гміні Грубешів Грубешівського повіту Люблінського воєводства. Населення —   (2011).

Історія

Перша письмова згадка походить з грамоти 1376 року, коли холмський князь Юрій Данилович за єпископа Каліста, подарував село церкві пресвятої Богоматері у Холмі.

У 1392 р. король Владислав Ягайло відібрав у єпархії це та інші села. У роки 1392—1431 разом з Шиховичами і Тихобором належав до королівських маєтностей. У 1425 р. за холмського єпископа Харитона король підтвердив право єпархії на село і надав йому магдебурзьке право.

1431 року Ягайло повернув його князю Земовиту V як нагороду за участь у боях з бунтівним Свидригайлом, і 31 рік потому село було включено безпосередньо в маєтності польської корони і відтоді входило у староство Грубешів (до 1799 року), хоча він був розташований у Городельському повіті Більського воєводства.

У п'ятнадцятому і шістнадцятому століттях селян цього села платили десятину парафіяльному костелу в Черничині.

У 1578 р. грубешівський староста і белзький воєвода А. Тенчинський мав у Космові 75 га землі, 8 загородників з землею, 2 ставки, 2 комірники з землею, 2 комірники з худобою, 6 бідняків. Люстрація 1578 року показала 3¾ лану (63 га) сільськогосподарських угідь, а також корчму. Річний прибуток склав 21 злотий.

У 1627 р. було 17 осілих кметів і 20 кметів з 10 га землі кожний.

Королівська люстрація у 1661—1665 роках стверджувала: «Млин був там, він згорів від Москви» (тобто спалений московського-козацькими військами в роках 1655—1656.).

У 1767 р. Космів находився у королівській власності, а його управителем від імені короля був київський воєвода Ф. Потоцький.

За даними перепису населення 1827 в селі було 16 будинків і 120 жителів.

У XIX ст. маєток перейшов до Войцеховських, а у 1926 — Свєжавських.

За переписом 1905 р. у селі було 426 десятин землі (чорнозем), церква, волосна школа, 2 вітряки, 83 будинки і 615 мешканців (604 православних і 11 римо-католиків), у панському дворі — 535 десятин землі (чорнозем), 8 будинків і 33 мешканці (10 православних, 18 римо-католиків і 5 юдеїв). У 1905—1908 рр. за указом царя ті греко-католики, які відмовлялися належати до Російської православної церкви, через заборону греко-католицької церкви перейшли до римо-католицької і стали латинниками, у Космові їх налічувалось 16 осіб.

У 1915 р. перед наступом німецьких військ російською армією спалене село і більшість українців були вивезені вглиб Російської імперії, звідки повертались уже після закінчення війни. Натомість поляків не вивозили. Після окупації Холмщини в 1919 р. польський уряд проводив польську колонізацію.

За переписом 1921 р. (тоді у гміні Крилів) у селі було 69 будинків і 400 жителів, у тому числі 14 римо-католиків, 19 юдеїв і 367 православних, у колонії — 10 будинків і 81 житель—римо-католик, у фільварку — 5 будинків і 72 жителі, у тому числі 22 православні та 50 римо-католиків (напевне прибулі з Польщі).

Перша церква у Космові згадувалась у 20-х роках XVI ст., але до середини XIX cт. у документах не згадувалася. У 1889 р. новозбудовану дерев'яну церкву освячено на честь св. Олександра Невського. Після першої світової війни стояла зачинена польською владою і нею зруйнована під час полонізаційно-ревіндикаційної акції масового нищення українських храмів на Холмщині вночі з 15 на 16 червня 1938 року.

Під час німецької окупації в Космові функціонували українська початкова школа і кооперативна спілка «Згода». У 1943 р. в селі налічувалось 385 українців і 84 поляки. Під час антиукраїнської акції АК під командуванням С. Квасневського («Віктора») 19.03.1944 р. Космів було повністю спалено. У 1944—1945 рр. українське населення було депортовано до УРСР.

Під час проведення операції «Вісла» в період 16-20.06.1947 року з Космова було вивезено на «землі відвойовані» (Вармінсько-Мазурське воєводство, Західнопоморське воєводство) 45 осіб, залишилося 329 людей національності польської, а також залишилося 3 українців з мішаних родин.

У 1975—1998 роках село належало до Замойського воєводства.

Who do u think would win????
If this is Yusuke anywhere past the Saint Beast saga, he wins easily.
Doesn't inuyasha's sword use the demon's own energy and kill them with it?
Will this work on yusuke?
Wind Scar...he would still have to hit him wiht it. And I don't know it that would be powerful enough to put Yusuke down.
Well, if it uses the demon's own energy against it then i think that'll put him down won't it?
Not if Yusuke's aura is much stronger (which it is).
Yes it does since he uses the demon energy of his father when he gets pissed off.
Except Yusuke can use not only Youki, but Reiki and See Kou Ki, and could kill Inuyasha in one punch.
Your right its the backlash wave. I dont think that the wind scar woud do much to Yusuke thogh.... However Inuyasha's Addimit Barrage is his strongest attack.
Peace guys, Im going offline. See ya later.
The correct names are "Kaze no Kizu", "Bakuryuuha" and "Kongousouha". However, they are too slow and weak to take on Yusuke.
Man if someone does not go for Inuyasha then Yusuke will win by a land slide! LOL!!!
God forbid someone uses translated attacks.
Anyways, Yusuke wins, no sweat.
Inuyasha has no chance of winning. Yusuke can easily Blitz Inuyasha, or blast him with his finger.
InuYasha has Bakuryuuha, that could 'maybe' help since we have seen InuYasha throw back some pretty large demon attacks. I'll give him that.
But we see that Yusuke by the end of the series really doesn't have to rely on that demon energy. His spirit energy and speed is more then enough to take on InuYasha imo.
Do you guys think that Shesshomaru would have a better chance????
Adment Barrage is the only thing Inuyasha has that can hurt him, even then a shotgun to the face would send dog-breath into the moon, Yuske wins.
Yuske has more than demon power. he's a spirit detective afterall.
Please don't use the dub attack names. Not only do they sound stupid, but they are also improper translations.
I'm glad to see someone noticed the My post & attacked the dub names...my work here is totallt done.

Pablo Clavería Herráiz  (Madrid, 1 april 1996) is een Spaanse voetballer, die doorgaans speelt als middenvelder. Hij tekende op 26 augustus 2020 een tweejarig contract bij FC Cartagena.

Loopbaan
De vader van Claveria is een gewezen zaalvoetballer met een welgevuld palmares. Zijn hele leven verdedigde hij het doel van Interviú.  Hij werd wereldkampioen bij de Spaanse nationale ploeg in 2000 en tweemaal Europees kampioen. Bij zijn team werd hij 7 keer landskampioen, 5 Spaanse bekers, 6 Supercups, 1 UEFA en 1 Intercontinentale beker.

Clavero is een product van de jeugdscholen van Getafe CF en Rayo Vallecano. Bij deze laatste club kreeg hij zijn eerste contract tijdens het seizoen 2014-2015 bij het filiaal dat actief was in de Segunda División B.  Maar vooraleer hij een wedstrijd speelde voor het filiaal, werd hij op 13 december 2014 door Paco Jémez ingezet in de eerste ploeg, toenmalig actief in de Primera División.  Hij viel in tijdens de met 3-0 verloren verplaatsing bij Valencia CF.  In totaal zou hij 9 keer spelen voor de A ploeg in zowel de Primera División (eerste twee seizoenen) als de Segunda División A, maar zijn meeste wedstrijden speelde hij voor het filiaal in de Segunda División B (eerste seizoen) en de Tercera División.

Op 14 augustus 2017 tekende hij voor een ander filiaal uit de Tercera División, Atlético Malagueño.  Ook daar werd hij basisspeler van de ploeg die kampioen werd en de promotie naar de Segunda División B afdwong.

Op 13 augustus 2018 tekende hij een tweejarig contract bij CF Fuenlabrada, een ploeg uit de Segunda División B.  Hij werd onmiddellijk basisspeler van de ploeg en kende 34 optredens en scoorde 2 doelpunten. Op het einde van het seizoen 2018-2019 werd deze ploeg kampioen en werd in de eindronde geloot tegen Recreativo Huelva.  Dankzij een 3-0 thuisoverwinning en een 2-2 gelijkspel op verplaatsing werd de promotie afgedwongen.  In de volgende ronde werd de eretitel van algemeen kampioen behaald tegen Racing Santander.  Op deze wijze bevond de speler zich tijdens seizoen 2019-2020 in de Segunda División A.  Ook hier werd hij een onbetwiste basisspeler mer 34 optredens en 1 doelpunt bij de seizoensrevelatie die op een mooie achtste plaats eindigde en die tot de laatste speeldag in de running was voor de eindronde om de laatste stijger aan te duiden.

Voor het seizoen 2020-2021 tekende hij een tweejarig contract bij reeksgenoot en nieuwkomer FC Cartagena. Hij zou zijn debuut bij de havenploeg als basisspeler vieren tijdens de eerste wedstrijd, een 0-0 gelijkspel op verplaatsing bij Real Oviedo.  Zonder echt ooit onbetwiste basisspeler te worden, kon de ploeg anderhalf seizoen volmaken bij de havenploeg.  Zijn laatste officiële optreden kende hij op 15 december 2021.  Toen tijdens de maand januari 2022 Sebastián Carlos Cristóforo Pepe de overstap naar de havenploeg maakte, zou Pablo waarschijnlijk tijdens de terugronde van het seizoen 2021-2022 minder spelkansen krijgen.  Daarom werd op 28 januari 2022 het contract, dat nog tot het einde van het seizoen geldig was, in onderling overleg ontbonden.

Hij vond onderdak bij reeksgenoot CD Lugo.  Hij tekende er een contract tot en met 30 juni 2024.

Trail of the Lion King
It's about going to the match.

Jeju United v Jeonbuk Motors, Saturday 24th September 2011, 3pm »
Doosan Bears v Lotte Giants, Sunday 18th September 2011, 5pm
After missing out on the baseball game in Chuncheon earlier in the day I decided that when we got back to Seoul I would pop along to Jamsil Stadium for the visit of Lotte Giants. Lotte always bring a lot of fans with them, probably because there are plenty of ex-Busan residents now living or working in Seoul, and so it is usually a decent occasion.
I was at the box office a good fifteen minutes before the start and all that were left in the main stand were a few single seats in the blue section close to the action. I thought, as usual, that I would take my chance in the outfield section instead. As expected, it was packed and I wandered around for a good five minutes before a bloke begrudgingly moved his can of beer from the seat next to him so that I could sit down.
The starting pitcher for Doosan was Yang Hyeon. He has only just turned nineteen and has a really odd throwing action, releasing the ball from very low down, not far above the ground. He started well enough though with his first five pitches being either strikes or resulting in someone being caught out.
Yang Hyeong - Doosan Bears
Jang Won Jun started for Lotte and he did even better, conceding just three hits and one run in the six innings that he was on the field for.
Jang Won Jun - Lotte Giants
In the third innings Lotte outfielder Son Ah Seop hit a home run that scored two to put the visitors into the lead. Doosan pitcher Yang Hyeon didn't last much longer after that, getting the tap on the shoulder at the end of the third. He had just been struck on the ankle with the ball though so that may have played some part in the decision. His replacement threw a lot more conventionally.
Son Ah Seop is congratulated by his Lotte Giants team mates.
There were still lots of people coming into the stadium at that time even though play had been underway for an hour. As so many of the seats were 'reserved for a friend who hadn't yet arrived' very few of the latecomers seemed to be finding seats. Most chose to stand at the back whilst others sat in the aisles. One old biddie was made of sterner stuff than most and she insisted that people picked up their bags and moved along. She and her husband had been sat on tiny camping stools in the aisle until she had decided enough was enough.
It was mostly Lotte fans in the outfield seats.
It was good to see the stadium full for a change as it meant the return of the blokes who sell beer from the big packs on their backs. There was also someone selling bottles of soju from a carrier bag.
I decided to skip the soju and draft beer and nipped downstairs to pick up a few cans at the end of the fourth. On the way back I was almost hit by a Lotte home run. As I stood facing away from the pitch at the bottom of the steps on the way back to my seat, I saw the people around me either flinching or putting their hands up to catch the ball. I turned, but couldn't pick up the flight and could do nothing more than put my free hand over my head and hope the ball didn't knock my teeth out. It didnt. 3-0 Lotte.
The orange supermarket bags made an appearance in the fifth innings with most of the Lotte fans taking part and wearing them on their heads. One kid didn't seem to get the hang of it and despite his Mam being sat next to him he just put his head inside it and tied it tighter than a Tory MP with an orange in his mouth would.
I bet he sticks his fingers into electrical sockets too.
Doosan had a chance to get back into the game in the fifth when Lotte deliberately walked Choi Joon Seok leaving batters on all three bases. The tactic paid off though with them all left stranded when they got the next bloke, Son Si Hyun, out without much difficulty
Lotte increased their lead in the seventh with a solo home run that once again landed not too far from me, before Doosan finally opened their account to make it 4-1. The game seemed over though and the visiting fans were enjoying themselves with Mexican Waves.
One of these days I'll bring a Tesco bag and join in.
Both sides scored a couple of runs apiece in the eighth to take it to 6-3 and that was how it eventually finished. The result didn't matter much to Doosan Bears, but it was a valuable win for Lotte Giants as they try to secure second place in the standings.

Ford launches most ambitious manifesto ever for Northern Ireland
Here is David Ford's speech at the launch of the Alliance Party manifesto:
Good afternoon. Two weeks ago, as we launched our campaign for the Assembly and Local Government elections on 5th of May, I promised that in the course of the campaign we would present our most comprehensive policy manifesto ever. Today we deliver on that promise.
And I believe that when people read the document they will see that not only is it Alliance's most comprehensive manifesto ever, but it is the most comprehensive and ambitious manifesto ever presented by any political party in Northern Ireland.
I know that's a big claim, but unlike many of the claims that have been made in the course of this campaign, this one is grounded in reality.
Indeed, this document could be described as much more than a manifesto. It's a detailed analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of our system of government, our public services, and the policies and operation of our Executive Departments.
And it sets out, in considerable detail, the steps that we believe are necessary to deliver change – changes that will build us a Shared Future, and provide better Government and modern public services; change in the form of an economic revolution, and in the development of education and skills that will be needed to make it happen; changes to make society fairer, and our communities safer; changes to improve our health and well-being, and to develop a greener future.
This party has, of course, published manifestos before. Those manifestos guided our Assembly Members as they challenged Ministers and sought to amend legislation. But it's fair to say that, while we were always ambitious as a party, we were also realistic about the immediate likelihood of Alliance MLAs becoming Ministers, and being in a position to drive an agenda within the Executive.
This manifesto signals a change in our approach, and reflects a change in our ambitions. It reflects our growing ambition to serve our community from within the Executive, and our belief that on the 5th of May we will see enough Alliance MLAs elected to guarantee a seat on the Executive under the current system for appointing Ministers. If I am then elected as Justice Minister there would be two Alliance Ministers at the Executive table. This is not a manifesto of changes that we want others to deliver. It's a manifesto of changes that we want to deliver.
Over the last year we have shown that Alliance is able for the toughest jobs in government, and that we can match our ambitions with real delivery. We have shown what Alliance Ministers can achieve.
We haven't run away from tough decisions and difficult problems – I've stuck to my plans to bring legal aid under control and to reform our prison system. This hasn't been easy, and won't get any easier, but when an Alliance Minister determines that change is necessary, change will happen.
And we have been straight with people. Where we have made promises and commitments, we've kept them – whether that's been around Assembly and Westminster double-jobbing, where Naomi resigned her Assembly seat, or transparency around political party funding.
It's about making tough decisions, standing by them, and explaining them to the public. That's been our Party's approach to the difficult issue of water charges. And on this I want to say directly to the people of Northern Ireland: the question you should ask your politicians is not whether they will introduce water charges, but how and when. Because the fact is that unless we want to keep subsidising our water system by reducing our funding on health or education, water charges will be needed.
That's the honest position, and it's why we haven't hidden it, or made some vague reference to it in our manifesto. Rather, we've set out the detail of how we believe water charges should be introduced – a fair system based on your ability to pay, the amount you use, and a corresponding reduction in rates.
Identifying the changes that are needed to make Northern Ireland better for everyone; taking tough decisions and sticking to them; delivering on commitments and keeping promises; being straight with people.
That's what Alliance represents for people, and the response that I have received as Minister, and the response that our candidates are getting on the doorsteps across Northern Ireland, is showing that people like what they've seen.
Journalists too, are speculating about Alliance's prospects for gaining two seats at the Executive table. On a number of occasions during the campaign I have been asked which Executive Department Alliance would choose, or which I think that Alliance could make a real difference in. My answer has been clear – Alliance has the policies and the ability to deliver real change in any and every Executive Department – and the manifesto we are presenting today shows what I mean.
But our manifesto is more than a department-by-department breakdown of what we would do in each. We've seen enough of Ministers thinking and working in their own departmental silos. Rather, we are presenting a comprehensive, Executive-wide agenda of reform and delivery, based around themes.
Let's take the economy, for example. The manifesto sets out the steps that we would take to achieve an "Economic Revolution" for Northern Ireland. Many of the economic drivers that we need to secure our recovery and transform our economic future – enterprise, skills innovation and infrastructure – are controlled by the Assembly, but are spread across departments. In our manifesto we call for the development of a Department for the Economy, as part of a comprehensive restructuring of Government. A single department would better promote the needs of business, address barriers to economic growth and ensure joined-up working. Pending that restructuring, we will develop a robust inter-departmental economic strategy by the end of this year, focused on protecting and creating jobs in the short-term, and setting out a clear long-term strategy for increasing productivity and competitiveness.
There are other levers that are currently outside the Assembly's control. Alliance will continue to press for the Assembly to be granted tax-varying powers. With the Block Grant being set independently of the relative performance of the local economy, there is no incentive for the Executive to prioritise economic growth. The power to vary tax is central to the introduction of a lower rate of corporation tax in Northern Ireland, and our manifesto commits us to lowering that tax to level with, or below, that of the Republic of Ireland. We would establish a better balance between inward investment and the growth of our local business base, with improved access to finance and venture capital, and a realignment of the Invest NI strategy to support investment in businesses and projects with a high degree of innovation and R&D content. And to complement all of that we would address the skills gaps that exists – targeting essential skills provision at the unacceptable numbers of people who are without essential numeracy and literacy skills, and working in partnership with business to improve employability skills and management and leadership skills.
These policies don't sit within departments, they stretch across them – DETI, DEL, DoE, Education, and others – and as we have worked to achieve for the last twelve months, Alliance will continue to press for a step-change in joined up working across the Executive.
The Alliance Party's long-standing policy proposal for a "Green New Deal" provides another example. What may sound like an environmental policy is much more than an opportunity to tackle the threats to a sustainable future. It also offers a valuable job and wealth creation opportunity in the high-tech, maintenance and agriculture sectors, and impacts on the work of DETI, DARD, DoE, and DEL, and others.
This is the way we need to be working. With a Justice Programme for Government agreed and a Justice Bill through the Assembly in less than a year we have show that it is possible to build consensus on some of the most contentious issues. Alliance will take that approach to any other department we are given responsibility for.
If it's Education we will build on Trevor Lunn's initiative to bring parties together to resolve the stand-off over the future of post-primary transfer, and break the deadlock that has prevented the establishment of a single Education and Skills Authority.
If it's Health we will establish an All-Party Working Group to build a new and much-needed consensus on the major reforms that are needed within the Health Service here.
In every direction there are obvious cases for more joined-up working. Public money spent on separate transport fleets for health, education and rural communities; capital investment strategies for libraries, health centres and schools that could be joined-up to create modern, shared public facilities at lower capital and running costs, and with greater convenience for the public. Instead of closing libraries, why don't we integrate them with our schools estate, large parts of which are lying empty? And, of course, there's the potential to save the enormous amounts of money that we waste through the maintenance of a divided society – a social and economic imperative for us all.
The challenges facing this community are many. But so too are the opportunities to tackle them. Opportunities for more effective and efficient delivery of public services lie all around us, and the manifesto that we are publishing today sets out how the Alliance Party believes those opportunities can be taken.
It's a manifesto for real change – for radical change – change that will begin to create a society where everyone can live, work and socialise together in safety; change to make Northern Ireland a better place to live – more peaceful, prosperous, open, welcoming and vibrant. It's an ambitious manifesto for a party that's ambitious for Northern Ireland.

Equity literacy is a framework for cultivating the knowledge and skills that enable us to be a threat to the existence of inequity in our spheres of influence. More than cultural competence or diversity awareness, equity literacy prepares us to see even subtle ways in which access and opportunity are distributed unfairly across race, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, language, and other factors. The principles outlined in this factsheet refer to the knowledge dimension of equity literacy as it pertains to educators' and schools' efforts to ensure equitable educational opportunity for families experiencing poverty.

Nairo Quintana's dream come true at the Giro d'Italia
Nairo Quintana hails a new era of young Colombian riders after become the first rider from his nation to win the Giro d'Italia
Nigel Wynn June 1, 2014 8:15 pm

Nairo Quintana has called his overall victory in the 2014 Giro d'Italia as a dream come ture and has said that there are a new generation of Colombian riders ready to rise to the top of professional cycling.
"It's one of the happiest days in my life. I always dreamed of winning a Grand Tour and now it's become real," said Quintana after the race's final stage in Trieste on Sunday, when he became Colombia's first Giro winner.
"I wasn't expecting at all to see so many Colombians in Trieste today," Quintana said of the overwhelming support of his compatriots. "It was amazing to see so many flags through the circuit and around the podium. I'm super proud of my country."
However commanding Quintana's performance appeared, he revealed that he did have a moment of doubt on the same stage that ultimately saw his take the race lead – stage 16 to Val Martello.
"My biggest breakdown during the Giro was the Stelvio, where I wasn't able to put my rain jacket on for the descent," he said. "I was about to get off the bike to put on it, but then, Gorka [Izaguirre] was my best support; he forced me to continue with no rain jacket to ride on.
"It was snowing really much, all my clothes were wet, but he supported me all the way in that difficult moment, gave me some food and we went on. He gave me motivation to win such a difficult stage, so hard, yet so beautiful at the end, finishing with a smile."
The 24-year-old Grand Tour champion also praised his fellow Colombian riders, and said that his victory is a taste of things to come.
"This generation of Colombian riders like me – we're showing the world, since some of us came to Europe in 2012, we can win stages, important races, we show our quality – yet today's win is a huge reality, another big success."
"Last year I was second in the Tour de France, something that no other Colombian had achieved prior – plus, Rigoberto [Uran] was also second in the Giro. It might be coincidence, a choice of nature, but we're strong, just like that. I think there are some other Colombian lads, younger than us, who are also strong and will show their quality in the future, in European teams and races."
It is still unclear whether Quintana will be selected by his Movistar team to ride the Tour de France when the race starts in Yorkshire in July.
Quintana now sits atop the Union Cycliste Internationale's WorldTour rankings, bumping Alberto Contador (Tinkoff-Saxo) down to second. Colombia rises to second nation in the rankings behind Spain.

Notes from training: Orlando City ready for showdown with Atlanta United
By Mike Gramajo / July 19, 2017
SANFORD — Friday's derby between Orlando City and Atlanta United is just days away.
Both clubs meet for the first time at Orlando City Stadium at 7 p.m., and Lions head coach Jason Kreis has an idea of what's to expect from the visiting expansion side.
"Atlanta is an extremely dangerous, dynamic, attacking team with some really, really good option. Their four players that play the highest up the field for them are very dangerous," Kreis told reporters on Wednesday. "They're very attack oriented, very aggressive group, but they are not perfect. They have some problems of their own, which we will be looking to exploit."
The Lions will be without team-leading goal scorer Cyle Larin, who was called up by the Canadian national team ahead of Thursday's Gold Cup match against Jamaica. Kreis told reporters, the team had a heads-up and anticipated losing Larin ahead of Friday's game.
Atlanta's first year in Major League Soccer has started off well. Their current run of form has the expansion team sitting in fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings with 30 points, one point above Orlando, which sits in fifth place with 29 points.
Atlanta boasts the best offense in MLS with a league-high 39 goals scored. Their form in their last 10 games: 6-3-1. Orlando's record in its last 10 games, however: 2-4-4.
But for Kreis, Atlanta's early-season success is far from being decided.
"As I think we're all playing a little bit victim to the way Atlanta has done so far," said Kreis. "The job is not done. Our job is not done, and their job is not done, so I don't think the judging should be now."
Here are some other notes from Wednesday's training session at Sylvan Lake Park:
Kreis marks one year with Lions
Exactly one year ago, Orlando City announced Jason Kreis as its new head coach.
The Orlando City bossman spoke with members of the press on Wednesday on how he feels about living and working in Orlando.
"Really pleased and happy both in my job, head coach of this team, as well as community member of this city," said Kreis. "Really pleased to be here and my family has adjusted really well, and we couldn't be really happier with our lives outside of the job. And inside of the job, it's been really good
"Has it been great? No. Would I have liked it to be a little bit better? Yes, if you're talking strictly about results, but I think we can still say we're in a positive place. We can still say the team has improved, and we still have a lot in front of us this year," added Kreis.
Nocerino to be a father, again
And for the fourth time, Orlando midfielder Antonio Nocerino is having a new addition to his family.
The Italian made the announcement on Instagram on Tuesday, and shared his feelings on being a father for the fourth time.
"I'm very happy because my family is happy, and my wife is good, and that's very important," said Nocerino. "I'm happy when you have the possibility to have a baby… I like to have my kids at the house."
Nocerino said his family is still thinking of a name for the newborn. The 32-year-old has a tattoo on his lower-right thigh of four characters depicting a family holding hands, and said an additional character will be added once the baby is born.

Grupera (o onda grupera) è un genere di musica popolare messicana. È influenzato dagli stili di cumbia, norteño e ranchera e ha raggiunto il culmine della sua popolarità negli anni '80, soprattutto nelle zone rurali. La musica ha radici nei gruppi rock degli anni '60, ma oggi generalmente consiste in cinque o meno musicisti che usano chitarre elettriche, tastiere e batteria. Gli artisti di questo genere comprendono Yonics, Los Humildes, La Migra, Los Caminantes, Limite, Ana Bárbara, Joan Sebastian, Los Temerarios, Grupo Bryndis, Marco Antonio Solís, Myriam, e Bronco. La musica aumentò di popolarità negli anni '90 e divenne commercialmente valida, ed è ora riconosciuta in alcune cerimonie di premiazione di musica latina come Lo Nuestro e Latin Grammy Awards.

Storia
L'originale ondata di gruppi rock messicani ha avuto inizio principalmente con cover spagnole di canzoni rock popolari in inglese. Dopo questa fase iniziale passarono a includere nel loro repertorio canzoni tradizionali ranchera, oltre a cumbia e ballate. Così gli anni '70 videro l'ascesa di un certo numero di gruppi di grupera specializzati in ballate lente e canzoni che fino a quel momento erano state cantate solo da mariachi. Tra questi possiamo includere Los Muecas, Los Freddys, Los Babys, Los Bondadosos, La Migra ed altri.

Q: WithEvents+Handles+Overrides Say I have an member (e.g., Button1) of an object (e.g., Form1) that is delared using withevents (e.g., Form1.Button1_Click), and there is a handler with 'Handles' in that object.
If I override it (say, Form2.Button1_Click), will the handler call the overriden version (like me.Button1_Click) or the one with the actual handles on it (like MyClass.Button1_Click)?
Here's what I tried:
Public Class Form1

    Public Overridable Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        MsgBox("Form1's Button")
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        Dim f2 As New Form2
        f2.Show()
    End Sub
End Class

Public Class Form2
    Inherits Form1

    Public Overrides Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
        MsgBox("Form2's Button")
    End Sub

End Class

A: The overridden version is called. When I click button1 on Form1, I get 'Form1's Button'. When I start the second form using button2, I click button1, and get 'form2's button'
Just so anybody tries to google this and finds nothing like I did, I killed 10 minutes of my life to test it, and now nobody else will need to!

A: Specifying the Overridable modifier indicates that the method can be overridden.
To override is to reject or cancel (a decision, view, etc.).
Overrides specifies that the method will override the existing event handlers implementation. The existing method in Form1 will never be called unless you manually call it. You can manually call it by using MyBase keyword which essentially allows you to reference the base class of the current instance.
Public Overrides Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
    MessageBox.Show("SecondForm's Button")
    MyBase.Button1_Click(sender, e)
End Sub

JFK Fast Facts
New Release of the President's Intelligence Check Lists (aka, PICLs)
by kadlerabramson on August 1, 2012
by Maura Porter, Declassification Archivist
The President's Daily Brief, or PDB, is a highly classified intelligence briefing produced each morning for the President of the United States. The written briefing informs the President and other senior policymakers about intelligence developments worldwide and provides analysis of those events. Although now produced by the Director of National Intelligence, from 1961 until early 2005 the briefing was produced by the Central Intelligence Agency. According to the CIA website, the PDB compiles the Intelligence community's highest-level intelligence analysis related to key national security issues and concerns of the President. The PDB is given only to the President, the Vice President, and a very select group of Cabinet-level officials designated by the President. The PDB is published six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Much of its content is unrelated to the day's events and has been in progress for a period of time. At daybreak, the PDB is hand-carried to the White House for the briefing. Some Presidents are briefed in their residence, others in their office.
The predecessor of the PDB was called the President's Intelligence Check List and was first produced by the CIA for President Kennedy. Although the format initially went through several trial runs, it was formalized in early 1961. The checklist, initially known by the acronym PICL and pronounced "pickle," was later renamed the President's Daily Brief.
JFKNSF-356-001. President's Intelligence Checklist, pg. 1
Former Central Intelligence Director George Tenet considered the PDBs highly sensitive and in July 2000 declared that none could be released for publication "no matter how old or historically significant it may be." The PDB became more publicly known after the 9/11 Commission called for the declassification of the PDB from August 2001 entitled, "Bin Ladin Determined to Strike the US". Although several PDBs have been released through the years in various administrations, including a handful of PICLs from the Kennedy Administration, these declassification decisions were based on sporadic reviews and there has been no systematic opening of PDBs or PICLs. Until now.
The release of PICLs at the Kennedy Library was put into motion by researcher and former Nixon Library Director, Timothy Naftali, who submitted formal requests to access several PICLs through the Mandatory Review (MR) process (see MR online form). Recently, through the second level of appeals to the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel (ISCAP), several Kennedy Administration PICLs were opened in part – 126 pages total. This constitutes the largest release of daily brief (i.e., PICL) material to date and sets quite a precedent.
In total, 18 intelligence checklists and two CIA Information Reports were opened for research use on July 19, 2012. The date ranges of these documents are mid-July 1962 through August 1962. They cover a variety of countries and topics such as the USSR, China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Peru, Brazil, Haiti, British Guiana, Germany (Berlin), Indonesia and disarmament/nuclear testing.
These newly-opened PICLs come from the Kennedy Library's National Security Files, Box 356, Chester Clifton sub-series. General Chester V. "Ted" Clifton, Military Aide to the President, coordinated the PICL briefings. The writing on the first page of the PICL is usually in General Clifton's hand and indicates whether the President saw that particular PICL. Clifton's notations – "P saw", "P not seen", or "Pres has seen" – can be distinguished from another (unidentified) staff person's notation, "President read". If the President did not see or need to be briefed on particular sections of the PICL, that information was recorded on the front page, as well.
When the President was away from the White House, the PICLs were sent as White House wires to his location. On the newly-released materials, the initials HP – meaning Hyannis Port – indicate where the message was sent (and then the original wire destroyed).
As we approach the 50th anniversary of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Cuba intelligence information provided to the President in the months leading up to the Crisis is particularly intriguing.
In The President's Intelligence Checklist for August 23, 1962, it is noted "most of our information from within Cuba on the influx of Soviet equipment and technicians has come from Cuban sources. We now have several reports from the British Embassy whose people have been out looking" … their information on the equipment coming in—some 'hard' some not—leads them to suggest that 'an expert might consider the possibility of anti-aircraft rockets and radar.' "
The President's Intelligence Checklist for August 28, 1962 stated, "the Soviet Chief Engineering Directorate in Moscow has raised the budget of its representative in Cuba from $80,000 in July to at least $175,000 for August."
As part of The President's Intelligence Checklist for August 30, 1962, there is a USIB Watch Committee Conclusions from August 29, 1962 which states, "We are not able on the basis of evidence available at this time to determine the precise nature or purpose of the intensified program of Bloc military assistance and construction in Cuba."
In The President's Intelligence Checklist for August 31, 1962, it is reported "one of our naval aircraft, on a routine mission, was fired on yesterday afternoon by Cuban patrol vessels at a point twelve miles off Cuba's northern coast."
The declassification of the PICLs at the Kennedy Library is exciting; in addition to demonstrating the success of the MR process in opening materials for research, the release of these highest-level intelligence briefings further expands our historical knowledge and understanding of the Kennedy Administration.
For more information about the PICLs, or to receive copies, please contact the Kennedy Library research room at kennedy.library@nara.gov or 617.514.1629.

Title: The Magicians
Author: Lev Grossman
Series: The Magicians #1
Rating: **
Publisher/Copyright: Viking, 2009
Premise: Quentin Coldwater is a brilliant but bored high school senior, dissatisfied with the world he sees around him and longing for something to give life meaning. School offers meager challenges, the girl he crushes on is instead attached to his best "friend," and his only real escape is the "Fillory and Further" series of children's novels. Then, on the day he was to interview for admission to Princeton, he finds himself inadvertently competing for a place at Brakebills College of Magical Pedagogy, the only magical university in North America. Magic is real, you can study it, and those Fillory novels? True stories, as told to and distorted by their pedophilic, alcoholic author by his neighbor children. Soon Quentin has new friends and a new place to belong. Surely magic will make him happy….right? Huh. Nope. Alcohol, sex, drugs? Drat. Well, maybe if we found our way into Fillory….
Pro: A realistically-imagined exploration of what it would be like to actually have magical abilities, to do whatever you could possibly want with nearly no restrictions. There's no Voldemort threatening the world to struggle against, no higher purpose to serve. This ain't no fairy tale, folks. This is life.
Con: Life sucks. The story is very bleak, as the protagonists search for meaning in all the wrong places. I'd like to believe I'd not turn out as jaded as Quentin, but I see a lot of my own potential weaknesses in his character. I identified with him (usually – there were times he took it too far) but really didn't much like him. Other characters too, to varying degrees.
Pro/Con: The world presented here is interesting, but it is lacking the sense of fun that usually comes with reading genre fiction. With good reason – "The Magicians" uses all the genre tropes, but it's LITERATURE, thank you very much. Look how bleak it is! (I'm on record as being disdainful of all literary pretension, even preferring genre to the hoity-toity capital-L-Literature, but whatever floats your boat.) In other words, I appreciate its existence without being overly fond of the actual product.
TL,DR: Interesting but bleak, Harry Potter and Narnia for an adult, jaded audience who finds life meaningless and wants their fictional characters to inhabit that same headspace. Will I read the rest of the trilogy? Probably. After I read some Star Wars, Jim Butcher, and S.M. Stirling to clear my palate.

Review: "John Constantine, Hellblazer: Bloodlines" by Garth Ennis, John Smith, William Simpson, Steve Dillon, Sean Phillips, David Lloyd, & Mike Hoffman
Title: Bloodlines
Writers: Garth Ennis & John Smith
Artists: Will Simpson, Steve Dillon, Sean Phillips, David Lloyd, Mike Hoffman, Mike Barreiro, Kim DeMulder, & Stan Woch
Series: John Constantine, Hellblazer (Volume VI, Issues #47-61)
Publisher/Copyright: Vertigo, 2013
Ummm….yeah, I have no idea what's up with that cover. It appears to be Constantine standing over a demon he's beaten to death with a crucifix. Just so we're clear, that never happened here. Which is kind of a shame, now that I think about it….This is mostly a patchwork anthology, one-offs and shorter story arcs. Most of them were good, a couple not so much.
When last we left our antiheroic mage, he'd just conned the three princes of Hell into healing his fatal lung cancer lest they be forced to go to war over his soul. Needless to say, they're not too happy about being outwitted by a mortal…. Constantine's going to have to get back in the saddle pretty quickly, though, as the magical catastrophes aren't taking a break. First up, its stopping a pair of poltergeists after an insurance scam turns deadly. Will Simpson's art is great in part one (The Pub Where I Was Born), but I wasn't a fan of Mike Hoffman's in the second half (Love Kills). Next Constantine explores the "real" meaning of Christmas (i.e. getting hammered and laid, possibly but not necessarily in that order) in Lord Of The Dance. It is alleged that the titular song ("Dance, then, wherever you may be….") was not originally about Christ but about a pagan spirit of revelry, who was in effect neutered by the coming of Christianity to the British Isles. Steve Dillon's art was good, and I managed to be (mostly) unoffended by the slurs against my own worldview. It's par for the course when reading certain series…. A couple days later in Remarkable Lives, Constantine is summoned in the middle of the night to a darkened park where he finds none other than the King of the Vampires trying to recruit him. Obviously, that goes real well…. Will Simpson once again handles the art, and does an excellent job of it for the most part. This is followed by the only story in the book that I actually disliked, Counting To Ten. John Smith serves as guest writer, while Sean Phillips handles the pencils. Honestly, I'm not sure I get this story even on a second read-through. Something with a dead woman who isn't dead, and a friend of Constantine's in need of an exorcism. There's no tie-in to anything else, no payoff or fallout from the events therein described. I'm gonna try and pretend it never happened…. Next up we get the closest thing to a main story this volume offers, the four-part arc Royal Blood. In London, the Caligula Club caters to the every twisted, perverted whim of the rich and famous, from bloody cocktails to catfights all the way to matters of the occult. Last night they summoned up the demon responsible for the Ripper killings, and it possessed the heir to the throne. Now they're loose on the streets of London, and the body count is rising….Will Simpson's art is excellent, if morbid, and I have to wonder if Ennis consulted Alan Moore about using the plot of From Hell as backstory. This Is The Diary Of Danny Drake was a particularly disturbing tale, drawn by the legendary David Lloyd, featuring a man being haunted by his diary. Yeah, you read that right. It makes sense in the story, kind of. Mortal Clay/Body And Soul features Steve Dillon back on the artwork, this time exploring a shady munitions testing firm that's graverobbing to help provide test corpses. Problem is, they've made off with the corpse of Chas's uncle, and that's got Constantine after them…. The two-part tale Guys And Dolls sees the First Of The Fallen put in place the first elements of his latest scheme to lay low our favorite antihero, this time using a young succubus of Constantine's acquaintance. Trouble is, Chantinelle has no interest in revealing just how she met Constantine, as that conversation would go very poorly for all involved. Seems she'd fallen in love with an angel a few years back, and Constantine managed to save her skin. But can he do it again? Find out in She's Buying A Stairway To Heaven! I look forward to seeing what happens next as Constantine readies for war with Hell once more….
CONTENT: PG-13 grade profanity, missing R-rated by the strategic placement of word bubbles. Some moderately explicit sexual content and nudity, including a shot of Constantine's ass as he uses a urinal. We all needed to see that…. Strong, gory violence, frequently disturbing. Strong occult content, par for the course in this series.

Review: "Hellboy Vol. VII: The Troll Witch And Others" by Mike Mignola, P. Craig Russell, & Richard Corben
Title: The Troll Witch And Others
Writer & Artist: Mike Mignola
Additional Artists: P. Craig Russell & Richard Corben
Series: Hellboy
Rating: *****
That figures. I stated in my last Hellboy review that I couldn't wait for the next volume to figure out where the story was going, and so of course the next collection was an anthology. Oh well, I like those best anyways….While he still handles most of the art, this time out, Mignola collaborates with a couple guest artists for special occasion stories.
We open in Malaysia, 1958 as Hellboy investigates a local creature known as The Penanggalan, a demon born when an old priestess accidentally kicked her own head off. ("That might be the stupidest thing I've ever heard." "I did not say it was true, only that I believe it.") A short, predictable, and delightfully strange tale. We then move on to Alaska, 1961 as Hellboy investigates claims of a monster haunting the grave of Hercules in The Hydra And The Lion. Mignola is the first to admit that this one doesn't make a lot of sense, but in Hellboy's world that really doesn't matter too much. The Troll Witch takes us to Norway, 1963 as Hellboy investigates a series of horrific murders. This has the distinction of being one of the only stories where Hellboy doesn't get to punch something, which leads to a bit of a subversion of your expectations. The Vampire Of Prague is set in 1982 and is Mignola's first time writing for P. Craig Russell. This is some good stuff. I especially enjoyed the part where the vampire is chasing his own severed head down the street…. Dr. Carp's Experiment takes us to New York, 1991 as Hellboy and the BPRD investigate a newly-discovered secret chamber in a notorious haunted house. This one was good, I always love a good time travel story. The Ghoul is set in London, 1992, and is one of the strangest Hellboy tales I've seen. It features our favorite demonic hero beating the crap out of a ghoul who speaks solely in creepy poetry, and a puppet theatre production of Hamlet. Makoma is another weird one, this time a collaboration with Richard Corben. Mignola draws the framing story set in 1993, while Corben draws the legend being narrated. I'm not entirely sure how to understand this one, but it seems to be about Hellboy in a past life. Sort of a "Wheel of Time" thing where everything repeats throughout time. If so, it sheds some light on Hellboy's eventual battle with the Ogdru Jahad….
Content: Minor language, some stylized violence and gore. Mild sexual content, and some non-sexual nudity. A fair amount of occult content, however. In Hellboy's world, everything supernatural would seem to exist in….well, not harmony, but a unified worldview. This includes the Christian God and the Devil as well as more Lovecraftian things such as the Ogdru Jahad. God and the Church have power, but there are other things abroad in the world that have power as well and were old long before Christ was born in his manger. Hellboy is brought to Earth from another plane–implied to be Hell–in a dark ritual performed by Grigori Rasputin. He later tries to use Hellboy as the focus of another ritual to free the Ogdru Jahad (similar to H.P. Lovecraft's Great Old Ones) and bring an end to the world as we know it. One of the short tales implies that Hellboy himself is the son of the Devil and a mortal witch. Ghosts, vampires….the Beast of the Apocalypse…..

Review: "Midnight In The Garden Centre Of Good And Evil" by Colin Sinclair
Title: Midnight In The Garden Centre Of Good And Evil
Author: Colin Sinclair
Series: Invaders From Beyond
Publisher/Copyright: Solaris, 2015
This is not how it was supposed to work. A couple months ago, Miller was knee-deep in a graduate degree studying agricultural science. Now, after a bender left him and his future father-in-law's car upside down in a lake, he finds himself without a fiancé and cut off by his parents to find his own way in the world, working a dead-end job at a garden centre in the middle of nowhere alongside an eclectic crew of fellow misfits. Then just as Miller adjusts to his new life, starts to think the future might not be so bleak after all, that's when the aliens show up….
Midnight In The Garden Centre Of Good And Evil is a very British book in its language and vocabulary. That's not a bad thing, to my mind, but is something to know going in. Not everyone watches as much Sherlock and Doctor Who as I do. Equal parts comedy and horror, the book demands comparison with Shaun Of The Dead, possibly crossed with Kevin Smith's Clerks (I can't say for sure, not having seen that one). It's a quick read, and I managed most of it at a single sitting–the last two-thirds, to be precise. While not bad, it didn't really suck me in until that point. The only real complaint I had with the book is how much information is left obscure, lost between the lines. While Brackett's establishment is undeniably shady, it took most of the book for me to connect the various offhand hints and realize that its real income is dependent on the marijuana being grown in the basement tunnels. (Admittedly, this may have had something to do with my own lack of experience with that particular plant beyond the requisite stoner characters in various films.) Plus, you never do find out Miller's first name so far as I can find looking back. It's not a big deal, given the first-person narration, but serves to illustrate my point. Anyway, if you're looking for an irreverent comedy-horror combo, this just might be the book for you.
CONTENT: R-rated profanity. Strong horror violence, occasionally gruesome. Moderate sexual innuendo, mostly in the form of crude jokes made by one or more of Miller's coworkers.

Review: "Magic Brew" by T. Rae Mitchell
Title: Magic Brew
Author: T. Rae Mitchell
Series: The Edge Chronicles
Publisher/Copyright: Original Mix Media, 2015
Alright, let's get one thing out of the way up front. Yes, this is an Urban Fantasy version of The Warriors. If you can't get past that idea, this book isn't for you. Everyone else, you're in for a treat.
Even in a city overrun with supernatural creatures, Edge is special. While elves, demons, vampires, were-whatevers and the Fae are a dime a dozen, Edge is the only Djinn in New York City. Well, half-Djinn anyway, which means the Forsaken are the only family he knows. The Forsaken take in the rejects and the half-breeds of the city, those not good enough for the purebloods that run the other gangs. They have power beyond imagining, but also their share of weaknesses—both physical and emotional. And when they are betrayed by the one man they've trusted above all others and lured into a trap, the journey back to their home turf may be the death of every last one of them….
Like I said, this one was a pleasure. The world created here is imaginative and engaging enough to make it well worth overlooking the recycled plot, and every single character you meet is a fully-rendered person with their own personality, strengths, weaknesses, and desires. There's Edge, obviously, half Djinn and half mystery, reeling from having his entire world pulled down around his ears. There's Pandora, Nyx and India, three half-pixie sisters dealing with the effects of their other halves. Pandora is half Chaos demon, killing anyone who hears her voice. India is half succubus, driving everyone who enters her bar mad with desire just by looking at them. And Nyx is half Shadow elf, able to disappear and move unseen through shadows. Then you have Justice, half cherub and half Chinese Mogwai demon. I know, I thought the same thing…."You mean an angel came down here and ****ed that creature from Gremlins?" Turns out Mogwai is a generic Chinese word for demon, so that makes more sense. Less funny though. You care about every one of them. This matters, because as the body count climbs you feel each casualty as acutely as the survivors. Bottom line: if you're a fan of Urban Fantasy (or The Warriors, for that matter) I cannot recommend this highly enough.
CONTENT: Strong violence. Some R-rated language. Strong sexual innuendo. Various occultic topics such as demons and magic, handled as fantasy.

Review: "Hellboy Vol. VI: Strange Places" by Mike Mignola
Title: Strange Places
"Don't mess with me, lady. I've been drinking with skeletons."
Seriously, how many characters do you know who could deliver that line in all seriousness? Pretty much just Hellboy, which goes quite a ways towards explaining his appeal. The entire series is so….over the top, ridiculous, ambitious….not really sure of the best word to sum it up, but you have to admit it's pretty great. This time around in The Third Wish, Hellboy is pitted against the Bog Roosh, an undersea witch who wishes to save the world….by ending Hellboy once and for all. Sure, Hellboy has rejected his birthright as Anung Un Rama, the Right Hand Of Doom and devoted his life to saving the world, but so long as he exists someone could use the power of his hand to loose the Ogdru Jahad and burn the world. The Bog Roosh would end this threat once and for all. Then, in The Island Hellboy washes up on a forsaken island and is given a lesson in the origins of the world and all things that culminates in his death. Kind of. Maybe. Guess we'll have to wait for the next book to see how that works out.
I won't pretend that I understood everything that happened here, but I don't think you're meant to. Mignola is giving you an inside look at the creation of his world, true, but what is left out is as relevant as what is shown. We'll see where the path Hellboy is set upon leads, I suppose. The book is filled with scattered moments of Hellboy being delightfully himself, and that is most definitely worth the rest of what is undoubtedly one of the darker entries in this series so far.
Content: Minor language, some stylized violence and gore. Little to no sexual content. A fair amount of occult content, however. In Hellboy's world, everything supernatural would seem to exist in….well, not harmony, but a unified worldview. This includes the Christian God and the Devil as well as more Lovecraftian things such as the Ogdru Jahad. God and the Church have power, but there are other things abroad in the world that have power as well and were old long before Christ was born in his manger.

Review: "Deadlands: Ghostwalkers" by Jonathan Maberry
Title: Ghostwalkers
Author: Jonathan Maberry
Series: Deadlands
Publisher/Copyright: TOR, 2015
Much to my chagrin, I'm not all that deeply embedded in the world of RPGs. The interest is there, but traditionally there's been a shortage of people willing to follow me down the rabbit hole. I recently managed to con some of my family into trying the new Star Wars RPG from Fantasy Flight, but that's a different story. Anyway, all that to say that I'd never even heard of Deadlands when I picked this up, but very much want to further explore this version of the Weird West.
The world was shattered in 1863 when a native shaman performed a ritual intended to banish the white man from the Americas. Instead, reality itself has unraveled. The dead walk the Earth, forcing the Civil War to end in an uneasy stalemate. In California, the land itself was ripped apart by a massive quake, leaving a broken labyrinth of chasms and canyons populated by mysteries and monsters. In the wake of the disaster, a new element is discovered: Ghost Rock, burning hotter than coal and with a host of strange properties that is driving a new era of scientific discovery. Ex-Union soldier Grey Torrance is a gun for hire haunted by the ghosts of those he's failed to save, constantly moving in an attempt to stay one step ahead of the specters who would drag him down to Hell. Torrance would tell you he's no hero, but a chance encounter with a native scientist sets the wheels in motion for a confrontation with a madman who would conquer the world with an army of the walking dead….
Based on a successful tabletop RPG, Deadlands: Ghostwalkers is pulp fiction at its best. The quick and the undead mix with everything from Lovecraftian gods to creatures from another age in a yarn that, while perhaps short on what some would call literary merit, is still a darn fun tale. Seriously, this book has it all. Zombies, dinosaurs, zombie dinosaurs, necromancy, a subterranean world right out of Jules Verne, steampunk weaponry, even a third-act cameo by Cthulhu. The characters aren't always the most three-dimensional, but that's to be expected from this genre. A couple incidents early in the book feel like irrelevant side adventures at first, but later are revealed to be essential plot elements. I've never played the game, but the book seemed a pretty good introduction to the world, and I'm looking forward to exploring it further.
CONTENT: Strong violence, occasionally gruesome. Occasional R-rated profanity, but mostly pretty PG-13. Mildly explicit sexual content. A lot of the elements of this world could potentially be considered occultic, from possession to necromancy.

The Jenbacher container is a high quality unit which can be deployed where economical and speedy installation is required. The Jenbacher containers are fully tested when they leave the production facility and are excellent for 'plug-and-play' applications.The overall compact design ensures a space saving installation with service-orientated accessibility.
The container including the gas engine genset or cogeneration module, alternator, ventilation system, cooling systems and separate engine control room & switching system.
The roof skid is mounted and connected to the container on site. The unit is then connected to the gas supply, electricity export point, heat circuits and earthing mats and is ready to start producing power. Containerised solutions can be rapidly disassembled and redeployed elsewhere when required. They are therefore an attractive option for companies seeking finance as the generating asset is readily transferrable. The GE's Jenbacher type 2, 3 & 4 engine gensets and modules are all available in containerised form.
Gas engine containers are used for a wide variety of different applications and depends upon the specific requirements of your project. They are particularly popular where gas availability may vary over time, such as a landfill site. Here the gas production peaks after the closure of the landfill. They are also widely used for biogas applications where the most economical, sound attenuated units are preferred. They can then be transferred to another site. They are also popular with financiers as they provide the most readily movable and saleable asset from the perspective of project finance.
Where there are specific customer requirements which differ from the standard container, Clarke Energy is able to offer customised container versions. Customised versions may require a more stringent level of sound attenuation, a specific size or configuration not covered by the standard units.
Please contact your local Clarke Energy office to discuss your requirements.

Q: How can I prevent a directory from being removed in rsync I am trying to make a script for backing up my home and other important directories to an external drive, while excluding certain directories and filetypes (--exclude). Excluded files need to be deleted on the backup as well, in case I add a filetype or directory to the exclude list (--delete-excluded).
Also, everything that is removed needs to be backed up as well, in case something goes horribly wrong (--backup --backup-dir=rsync/backup).
I am starting out with this:
#!/usr/bin/env bash

PATH_PWD="`pwd`"
PATH_HOME=~
SRC="/home/redsandro"
PATH_TARGET="/media/redsandro/MyBook 4TB/backup/`hostname`"
PATH_BIN="${SRC}/bin"
EXCL_FROM="${PATH_BIN}/rs-backup-external.sh.exclude.txt"
DATE="`date +%Y-%m-%d`"

OPTS="-ahl --update --del --delete-excluded --force --ignore-errors --progress --stats --exclude-from=$EXCL_FROM --log-file=~/rsync/rsync.$DATE.log"
OPTS="$OPTS --backup --backup-dir=rsync/backup/${DATE}"
#OPTS="$OPTS --dry-run"

echo Backing up $SRC to $PATH_TARGET...
echo
sudo rsync $OPTS "$SRC/" "${PATH_TARGET}${SRC}"

Now, obviously, --del conflicts with --backup --backup-dir=rsync/backup. Can I exclude this directory from being deleted? Or is there perhaps an easier way to do this?
My goal is to have a script that I can run on all my machines, where a part syncs to a computer-specific directory, and another part (documents, pictures) sync to a global directory because they all need to be the same anyway.

A: Rsync is an awesome tool, but sometimes difficult to use.
The problem is you're using --exclude-from, which sets global exclude rules to both the sending and receiving side.
Before rsync performs operations on the filesystem, it will first assemble two lists of files, one for the sending side (client) and other for the receiving side (server). If a file is excluded from both sides, rsync will simply ignore it. If it is excluded only from the sending side and exists on the receiving side, rsync will delete it.
In your case, since your rules are excluding files from both sides, rsync will not delete them. You then use --delete-excluded to force deletion. But, like you said, this option conflicts with --backup --backup-dir=rsync/backup.
I suggest you do the following.

*

*Convert $EXCL_FROM to a normal filter file, i.e., insert the minus sign before each line to make them exclude rules.

*Remove --exclude-from=$EXCL_FROM and --delete-excluded from the rsync options.

*Include -FF on the rsync options.

*Include the following command before the call to rsync.
cp "$EXCL_FROM" "$SRC/.rsync-filter"

In this way, your rules will only apply to the sending side, and files specified as exclude rules will be removed from the receiving side if found. This should not conflict with backup options.
Update
Essentially, the -FF option is making rsync process per-directory filter files named .rysnc-filter in both sides of the transfer. In your case it will exist only on the sending side, so its rules won't apply to the receiving side.
Actually, -FF equals to -F -F. The first F tells rsync to merge rules from .rsync-filter in the root of the source and destination directories, like I said before. The second F tells rsync to exclude them. You don't want .rsync-filter being transferred, otherwise your exclude rules would also apply to the receiving side and your original problem would return – the excluded files would cease to be deleted.
Here's what my man (1) rsync says:
-F    same as --filter='dir-merge /.rsync-filter'
      repeated: --filter='- .rsync-filter'

A: One alternative is to locate your --backup-dir outside of your backup folder using absolute paths (specified with ../).
ie. --backup-dir="../rsync/backup/${DATE}"
This will create a new folder at the same level as your destination folder. For example, if you were exporting to /home/user/rsync/backup the above command would store your deleted files at home/user/rsync/rsync/backup/${DATE}

Australia, Foodie Travelers
Noodling around Sydney at night
Last Updated on September 25, 2019 by Michael
From Larissa ~ Last night we went to the Night Noodle Market in beautiful Hyde Park in downtown Sydney. This is an annual event that runs for ten nights during the Crave Sydney International Food Festival. Over forty food stalls dish out all varieties of Asian goodies (noodles and beyond) under trees strung with red paper Chinese lanterns that cast a warm glow over the affair. Dining options included Chinese, Malaysian, Thai, Indonesian, Vietnamese, Japanese and probably some other cuisines that have eluded my knowledge of geography. One that stood out was the wonderfully named "Thais R Us."
There were many choices—from sushi to Singapore noodles to salt n' pepper calamari. We opted for Indonesian; Michael ordered Mie Goreng, stir-fried egg noodles with chicken, shrimp and veggies. I went for a Satay combo—grilled beef and chicken on a stick smothered in a dark brown peanut sauce and sprinkled with toasted coconut. I'll admit that it didn't look as appetizing as Michael's noodle dish. In fact it didn't really look appetizing at all, I won't repeat what Michael said it looked like, but it tasted great.

Attempts to go back and try some other stalls were thwarted by the swelling crowds. The Sydney Morning Herald estimates that 125,000 people visit the Night Noodle Market over its 10-day run. It's one of the most popular events in the month-long food fest, probably because it's easily accessible and relatively inexpensive. Other events include cooking classes, lectures and specialty menus at various restaurants. Food choices at the Night Noodle Market are mostly between $3 and $15, which makes it a relative bargain in this expensive city, and a hit with all ages.
The atmosphere was a cross between a big-city happy hour and a Sunday family picnic. A DJ spun tunes, adding to the festive mood. Two Chinese musicians dressed in native garb gamely strummed out traditional songs in one corner, attracting the more sedate in the crowd. Families spread out blankets, broke out the juice boxes and let the kids run around on the grass. Clusters of teenage girls still in their school uniforms joked around using chopsticks as hair ornaments.
Eventually we found a stall with a break in the action, so we zoomed in to see what we could scoop up. Our efforts were rewarded doubly—the food was probably the bargain of the whole fair, and it was dessert! For $2.50 we tried a warm, freshly baked sweet roll by a Malaysian chain called PappaRoti. A coffee-flavored cream is swirled over the top of the dough before it is placed in the oven. The cream bakes into the light and fluffy dough that also had a hint of a buttery filling. We decided to live large and get a sweetened condensed milk sauce to dip it in for an extra $2.50. Yum.

Prior to coming to Sydney we had been told that Australians are quite sociable. We have found that to be true—everyone has been easygoing, friendly and relaxed, like they are on a permanent vacation. Strolling around Hyde Park in Sydney, on a warm clear October evening amid tantalizing aromas, delicious food, good music and friendly people it's easy to be in a good mood. Sydney is a mellow, and tasty, place to be.
