2016 Week 6: Cowboys vs. Packers
Cowboys vs. Packers Final Score: Turnovers & run defense doom Packers in 30-16 loss

Jeff Hanisch-USA TODAY Sports
On Sunday, the Green Bay Packers hosted the Dallas Cowboys for a big NFC matchup between teams with a single loss coming into the game. Dallas' offense, behind Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott, moved the ball consistently against a Packers defense that was severely shorthanded at cornerback; meanwhile, Green Bay turned the football over four times and could not get much of a rhythm going on offense.
Thise factors all contributed to the Cowboys leaving Lambeau Field with a 30-16 victory, moving them to 5-1 on the season while the Packers fell to 3-2. Elliott finished with nearly 150 yards on the ground, while Aaron Rodgers finished the game 31/42 for 298 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.
After receiving the opening kickoff, Dallas struck quickly to take an early lead. Dak Prescott and Ezekiel Elliott helped drive down the field before Prescott hit Cole Beasley for a one-yard touchdown, putting the Cowboys up 7-0.
The Packers responded with a field goal on their first drive of the game, which came after a 25-yard run by Eddie Lacy. The two teams traded fumbles on consecutive drives later in the first quarter, with Jordy Nelson coughing the ball up for the Packers and Julius Peppers stripping Prescott on the other side. The Packers added another field goal to cut the lead to 7-6.
The Cowboys took three points back with a field goal of their own, and the Packers tried to drive late in the second half but had to settle for a punt. Jacob Schum hit by far his best punt of the year, pinning the Cowboys at their own 3-yard line with a minute left and no timeouts.
Dallas ran the ball twice with little success, and Mike McCarthy took timeouts to stop the clock and get the ball back to their offense. However, a jet sweep by Lucky Whitehead picked up 26 yards, then Prescott hit Terrance Williams for 42 yards. Prescott then found Brice Butler for a 20 yard score and a 17-6 lead just before the half.
The Packers kept turning over the football at the outset of the third quarter. On back-to-back drives, Aaron Rodgers threw an interception straight to Barry Church around midfield, leading to another Cowboys field goal. Then on the next series, Rodgers helped lead the Packers down inside the ten yard line before being stripped of the football. The Packers picked off Prescott on the next drive, however, as Morgan Burnett recorded the first interception of a Prescott pass all year.
That turned into another Packers field goal to cut the lead to 20-9 after Rodgers missed a wide open Randall Cobb in the end zone.
Dallas kept moving the football easily on the ensuing drive. Prescott had tons of time to throw the football, and found Beasley for a second touchdown and a 27-9 lead.
Rodgers finally found a groove on the next series, leading the team down the field with a few nice throws, including three to Jordy Nelson. Rodgers then eventually found Randall Cobb for a short touchdown, the receiver's first of the year, making the score 27-16.
Green Bay tried an onside kick with seven minutes left after getting an extra 15 yards on an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the PAT, but Dallas recovered. They were able to pick up a big third down conversion to Jason Witten, allowing them to run down a large portion of the clock, but Elliott ripped off a 29-yard run on the next play to get deep into Packers territory. Dallas was held to a field goal, pushing the lead back to 14 with about 3 and a half minutes to go.
Ty Montgomery, who had a big day on offense, started the drive with a bang as he returned the kickoff to the 40, but he fumbled the football a few plays later, leaving the Packers with just over two minutes left and no way to stop the clock.
Damarious Randall left the game after re-aggravating his groin injury. Davante Adams was evaluated for a concussion in the second half and did not return. Bryan Bulaga was injured in the fourth quarter and was replaced by Jason Spriggs.


To achieve SDG 6, water and sanitation utilities must be financially sound. To increase their financial resources, utilities must both increase efficiency — do more with less — and find ways to increase their total cash inflows. In many countries operations and maintenance of combined systems are often funded solely by tariffs charged to sewerage customers, meaning that stormwater beneficiaries get a free ride — that they do not pay for the stormwater services they receive or the flooding that the impervious surfaces that they own help cause. Charging stormwater combined system beneficiaries create an additional cash-stream that would help cities to sustainably manage their combined systems — helping them to achieve their SDG 6 commitment.

Q: Why navigator.credentials.get function not working in firefox addon Calling function navigator.credentials.get({ publicKey }) from background in Firefox addon throws following error The request is not allowed by the user agent or the platform in the current context, possibly because the user denied permission..
I cant find any information about that issue. Is there any way to use WebAuthn functions in Firefox addon scripts? In Chrome extension it works without any problems.

A: I struggled with getting webauthn to work for literally months, turns out there's a stupid firefox bug which throws a false negative- If you have the console open, it doesn't work.  Closing the console finally fixed it for me.  Here's the bug report:

Progress of work being carried out through the implementaion of the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009.
This guidance supersedes the previous (2011) version.
This report to Parliament outlines progress made in implementing the Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009.
The first ever Flood Risk Management Strategies and Local Flood Risk Management Plans were published in 2015 and 2016 respectively. These ensure long-term proactive planning and investment decisions protect the most vulnerable and those areas at greatest risk of flooding across the whole of Scotland. Actions identified are now being implemented across Scotland, whilst the second flood risk management cycle is underway to identify future actions.
The commitment made by the Scottish Government in 2016 to provide £420 million over 10 years gives Local Authorities the certainty they need to deliver actions set out in their Local Flood Risk Management Plans.
But progress is not limited to flood protection schemes and works. Investment and advances have also been made in expanding and improving flood forecasting and warning, flood resilient properties, and in support for the Scottish Flood Forum and community resilience groups.
As part of a recent visit during resilience week I have seen at first-hand how Clackmannanshire Council, the Scottish Flood Forum and responders have worked proactively with communities to tackle flood risk. The application of new technologies like RiverTrack has helped communities to gain a better understanding of their potential flood risks so they can take the necessary action to protect themselves, their property or their business.
We continue to increase our understanding of flood risk in Scotland. Collaborative projects like our Dynamic Coast investigate the resilience of Scotland's coast. The Interreg project Building with Nature links us to European partners to further our understanding on natural flood management.
In December 2018 SEPA published the second National Flood Risk Assessment. This gives us the clearest picture yet of flood risk in Scotland, and embeds climate change and a comprehensive range of social, environmental and economic impacts into a single assessment. The scale of the challenge ahead is not to be underestimated. Going forward we must manage this risk, adapt to the changing climate and continue to empower and enable our communities to help themselves.

Finalists for 2018 Digital Media Awards
Georgina Wilson 23 Jan 2018
So the finalists for the 2018 Digital Media Awards have been announced, and we're delighted to learn that we're included in 3 categories!
For our work on the digital platform for Darkness Into Light, we're nominated for:
Best Collaborative Campaign
It's fantastic to be recognised across multiple categories, for different aspects of the project.
Any successful digital project depends on a strong underlying strategy, so it's crucial to put a lot of emphasis on the strategy phase. Identifying clear objectives brings focus to the project and ensures everyone involved knows what the measures of success are.
This category in the Digital Media Awards highlights organisations who are driving success through digital, and we felt that a strong website could certainly deliver measurable results for Darkness Into Light.
In our strategy phase, we established a number of key objectives.
Gather the contact details of participants to allow improved communication
Encourage participants to fundraise in addition to paying the event entry fee
Promote team participation in the event - this included teams based across multiple countries
Maintain or grow event participation levels
Create a site that can handle web traffic from many locations, as well as spikes in activity at key moments.
These were in alignment with Pieta House's overall objectives, and thoughtful design enabled these aims to be realised.
86% of Pieta House's income comes from individual fundraising efforts, and Darkness Into Light is Pieta House's biggest annual fundraising and awareness event. It began in 2009 with 400 people coming together in Dublin's Phoenix Park and has spread internationally across 4 continents, representing over 100,000 participants.
With such rapid growth, it's essential that Darkness Into Light has a strong digital platform to support the volumes of people engaging with the event online. In 2017, we overhauled their digital platform to ensure that it adequately supports this momentous event.
To do so, we made user experience a priority. The Darkness Into Light site has clear, unambiguous calls to action, as well as a focus on being user-friendly.
Some actions taken to deliver on key objectives were:
'Register' widgets were placed in key locations to encourage sign-ups
Mapping functionality allowed users to find their local event easily
Site content was created to best convey Darkness Into Light's impactful message
Teamwork was encouraged with fundraising league tables and rewards
We built a custom integration with Everyday Hero API to increase online donations
A scalable hosting solution was created to handle web traffic
We provided graphics to make social media sharing easy for participants.
We love working together with our clients so it's really great to be a finalist for Best Collaborative Campaign. This category celebrates teamwork and collaboration between organisations, all while retaining a focus on return on investment.
Darkness Into Light itself is all about collaboration and bringing people together for a common goal. By working with Pieta House on this project, we were able to create a platform to foster this teamwork amongst the participants of the event.
This annual event is a beacon for all those whose lives have been touched by suicide. Collaboration in the community is at the heart of Darkness Into Light, and the website needed to co-ordinate and unite the community towards one common goal.
It's great to know that our partnership with Darkness Into Light was effective in delivering an appropriate digital solution for such a unique event.
2018 Digital Media Awards
We're delighted with the success of the new digital platform for Darkness Into Light, reflected in the number of donation pages created, the increase in registered participants, the surge in online donation revenue, and many other KPIs.
Darkness Into Light is having a tangible positive impact on people's lives, and so we're really thrilled it's been recognised as a finalist for the Digital Media Awards.

Poll: Are Seattle men bad at asking women out on dates?
When I pitched the op-ed idea to Campoamor, I was thinking back on my own dating life before I got married, and how I realized after a year of living in Seattle that I would have to ask men out if I wanted to go on any dates at all. Seattle men I encountered at social events were too passive to make the first move.
For awhile I wondered whether I was just unattractive, until I left town for other cities. Living in Seattle was like residing on the planet Krypton. As soon as I went to elsewhere, total strangers would strike up conversations with me. My average of getting asked out on the road was 1.0000.
His points are moot because if I had never asked him out, none of that would have happened. Danny can be publicly shamed at @brockndanny.
What do you think? Are Seattle men more passive about asking women (and/or men) out on dates? Let us know in the poll below.


The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is experiencing the worst cholera outbreak since 1994, with more than 50,000 suspected cases being reported in 24 out of 26 provinces last year. Cholera is endemic in 9 provinces of DRC, but the drought of recent months and the high mobility of the population in certain areas has resulted in a faster spread and a greater impact. Currently, the disease has reached the capital of DRC, Kinshasa where since late November, the number of cholera cases has started to increase. There have already been 509 cases reported and 31 people have died making it the worst cholera epidemic in the city in the last 17 years. The MSF Congo Emergency Pool (PUC) will scale up its intervention, targeting the most affected areas of the city.


Melbourne's leading wine bar, the Carlton Wine Room, is celebrating World Scotch Whiskey Day in style on the 27th July by rolling out a tantalising range of cocktails made with Scotch Whiskey. The popular wine bar will be offering an extensive list of cocktails made with Scotch Whiskey so all diners can get into the swing of celebrations on World Scotch Whiskey day.
"The Carlton Wine Room always stocks a great range of Scotch Whiskies but we wanted to showcase its versatility as a spirit to celebrate World Scotch Whiskey day," Carlton Wine Room head barman and sommelier Carlos Araujo, said today.
"We have decided to create a range of Scotch Whiskey cocktails so everyone could enjoy the day.
"Not everyone likes drinking Scotch Whiskey straight. It does have a reputation for being a 'man's' drink. But it is also a great mixer for some pretty iconic cocktails.
"Some of our cocktails will include a few well known favourites like 'Blood and Sand', the 'New York Sour', and the 'Old Fashioned', just to name a few.
"Naturally Scotch Whiskey lovers will also be able to select from our range of single malt, pure malt, single grain and pure whiskies, but we wanted to ensure there was something for everyone on the 27th.
World Scotch Whiskey day is celebrated all over the globe every year on the 27th of July. No one is really quite sure who invented the day but most agree it was probably the brain child of a scotch distillery. Many other spirits have international days, so it is only fitting that scotch should have one as well.
"World Scotch Whiskey day falls on a Thursday this year so we will be open for lunch and dinner serving our special list of cocktails to honour the spirit and help Melbourne celebrate this international day in style," Mr Araujo added.

US State Department approves $250.4M deal for Morocco F-16 sustainment
State Department approves $250.4M deal for Morocco F-16 sustainment
By Allen Cone

June 28 (UPI) -- The U.S. State Department has approved a possible $250.4 million contract to support Morocco's current fleet of F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of this possible sale Thursday, which includes sustainment, support equipment, spare parts, training and related items of the aircraft for the Royal Moroccan Air Force.
Morocco's government has requested a continuation of sustainment support through the foreign military sales program.
"This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a major Non-NATO ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in North Africa," DSCA said in a news release.
The agency said the proposed sale will improve Morocco's self-defense capability, as well as continue to strengthen the interoperability with the United States and other regional allies but it will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
In March, the State Department approved for Morocco the purchase of 25 F-16C/D Block 72s and upgrades of its existing 23 F‑16s to the more advanced F‑16V block 52+ configuration. The deal is worth $4.9 billion.
Lockheed Martin is the primary contractor of the F-16, which is commonly called "Viper" by pilots and crews because it looks like a viper snake, according to F-16.net.
The F-16 Fighting Falcon is a compact and multi-role fighter aircraft that is highly maneuverable, according to the Air Force. General Dynamics, which is now owned by Lockheed Martin, designed the F-16. A single-seat model first flew in December 1976.
The F-16B is a two-seat model with tandem cockpits that are about the same size as the one in the A model.
The United States, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands and Norway jointly produced an initial 348 F-16s for their air forces.
The consortium, which now includes Portugal, assembles the F100 engine used in the European F-16s. Final airframe assembly lines are in Belgium and the Netherlands.
The U.S. State Department has approved a possible $250.4 million contract to support Morocco's current fleet of F-16 fighters.

Morocco – Sustainment for F-16 Fleet
Transmittal No: 19-16
WASHINGTON, June 27, 2019 -
The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Morocco of continuation of sustainment support to its current F-16 fleet for an estimated cost of $250.4 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale today.
The Government of Morocco has requested a continuation of sustainment support to its current F-16 fleet to include the following non-MDE components: F-16 support equipment, spares and repair parts; personnel training and training equipment; publications and technical documentation; munitions support equipment (for AMRAAM, CMBRE, JDAM, PAVEWAY), support and test equipment; integration and test; U.S.
Government and contractor engineering, technical and logistical support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The total estimated program cost is $250.4 million.
This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a major Non-NATO ally that is an important force for political stability and economic progress in North Africa.
The proposed sale will improve Morocco's self-defense capability. Additionally, the continuation of sustainment for their F-16 fleet strengthens the interoperability with the United States and other regional allies. Morocco already operates an F-16 fleet and this sustainment case will ensure that they can continue operating their fleet in the future. Morocco will have no difficulty absorbing this support into its armed forces.
The proposed sale will not alter the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractor will be Lockheed Martin Corporation, Bethesda, Maryland. The purchaser typically requests offsets. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.
Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of additional U.S. Government and/or contractor representatives to Morocco.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law and does not mean the sale has been concluded.

Thanks go to everyone who read, wrote or helped out in any way in helping us to celebrate North East theatre. The review which created the most traffic was Jack And The Beanstalk at Newcastle's Times Square Pantodrome http://www.northeasttheatreguide.co.uk/2017/12/review-jack-and-beanstalk-at-newcastle.html. Now we don't claim to see every show but here are the shows that stood out for us from those we covered.
We don't pretend that this is anything other than a list of what we liked. We don't go on anything technical or clever – we are just members of the audience that say if we liked the show or not, nothing more or less. You may disagree – great! We will be happy that the theatre that you saw caused you to react in that way. Please remember that we are Newcastle based and that will put a limit on how far we can reach out. Sad but true. However, we welcome reviews to be submitted and that has helped us to cover more shows in a bigger area this year.
The theatre scene continues to thrive in the North East and this is flagged up most with shows about local people. We had a longer list than in past years to work on of great work that will, in past years, have taken this gong however Jamie Brown's stunning race scene in Hadaway Harry was amazing. New production company Blowin A Hooley's revival of Tom Hadaway's Filleting Machine was very moving and we look forward to seeing what they come up with next. The football double bill at the Customs House featured a Q&A with the man in question of Jeff Brown's Cornered himself.
We know Lauren Pattison is set for bigger things and so the opportunity to catch her at the intimate surroundings of the Alphabetti Theatre was a treat. By way of example, we remember when Omid Djalili was the new lad appearing in a short set at a comedy club in Newcastle, long before he appeared on tv, and now he fills theatres.
The NETG covers spoken word and comedy shows in different random venues and this summer we followed Viz co-creator Simon Donald around the region in a double decker bus. The trip is well worth doing if you get the chance.
Every now and again you witness a show in which the set comes a character in itself. Not just simply a vehicle to ensure the action runs smoothly, it produces wow moments in its own right. This year's award goes to quite a small touring show that was on a criminally short run at Northern Stage. It has to be said that the Northern Stage had a fabulous 2017 with many brilliant shows in its various spaces and they had put together 2 of its strongest seasons in recent years.
The news that Dance City is extending its work to include a base in Sunderland is welcomed as the popularity in these shows continues to grow. We have noted that in recent times many shows are now well deserved sell-out events.
The standard of these shows continues to improve and this has been a really hard one to agree on so we've gone for a joint 3rd place.
A lot of great musicals have gone through the region this year. There has been something for everyone and that doesn't make our choice any easier. We thought we knew who would walk off with this award for most of the year and then the local lad popped up in December and blew us away. As for third place – you do realise we spend our Sunday evenings listening to Forgotten 80s on the radio?
Typical. Just as our son grows up we start getting high quality children's shows throughout the year. We have a sublime Christmas show, a high quality production created by young people themselves and an adaptation of a David Walliam's best seller.
This was another heading in which we started with a very long list of potential winners but it has to go to the show which put tears in our eyes as it shook us to our cores. Both Live Theatre and Northern Stage continue to host new writing and, along with Alphabetti Theatre, they give a high quality experience for those willing to take a gamble.
It is a hattrick for Ray Spencer and the Customs House. Why? For the same reason it is the one panto that everyone in the North East who loves panto makes sure it is in their diary. Great script, great cast and design which puts a lot of other pantos to shame. Be beware of more expensive competitors! Snow White is the best Tyne Theatre panto we can remember seeing, as Charlie Richmond is finally given the reigns and fully exploits his potential as the comic. As for Jack, it hasn't been out of the headlines but the cast put their heart and soul into delivering a very funny show. Stephen Sullivan was a proper bad guy and the lads in the bed scene is still making us laugh.
These three Christmas shows were not just for the children. From the bonkers characters and amazing design in Alice, to the crazy stunts of Peter Pan through to hearing the screams during the 3D scenes in Jack, these shows had a lot to offer the whole audience.
Another "radio play" picking up a gong. (Remember Frank Sumatra?) Blackadder was a real treat as we are fans of the original tv series. People's followed up Richard III with another imaginative cracker.
We loved the original film and wondered if it would transfer easily to the stage. East Is East was a very good adaptation.
So much to choose from but Rattle Snake was superb and takes another award. Northern Stage was host to a number of excellent touring companies from around the globe and The Suitcase was no exception to the high standard's in this season's programme.
We didn't make it to Edinburgh this year and ended up watching 39 Steps in German in Berlin – but that's another story. The Newcastle Fringe scene continues to be supported by a number of theatres but special mention must go to Ali Pritchard and his team at Alphabetti. If you're wondering why they didn't feature as strongly this year then you probably don't realise that they were forced to close the venue next to the Central Library as it was to be demolished. Unperturbed they have set up yet another venue – this time sandwiched between the Discovery Museum and the Grainger Cark Park. If you haven't spotted the venue on St James Boulevard then please donate some external lights so they can light up the sign at night! Out of the rubble great theatre and events have started again in Newcastle's most eclectic venue. Their opening show was a superb return. Welcome back and we plan to be paying many more visits in 2018.
So that leaves, once again, a thank you to everyone that has helped us by reading, reviewing, performing, inviting and booking the shows. Special mention goes to the very patient Joanne and our son Robert. He is only 14 and has literally sat through nearly a hundred shows. For the record Robert's top pick this year was The Play That Goes Wrong and Jo puts Rattle Snake at the top of her list.

The optimal phase for the measurement of the aortic annular area for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is not standardized, although most agree that systolic measurements are preferred, when the annulus is larger. We hypothesized that the maximum annular area occurs at the cardiac phase of the maximum aortic valve opening (MAVO) and that this phase can be accurately and reproducibly assessed by visual inspection only.
The aortic valve opening area was inspected visually by two readers to determine the MAVO phase. The annular area was measured at the MAVO phase and the typical systolic phase (35% of the R-R interval). Differences in the annular area that would change valve sizing for prostheses were noted.
Fifty patients (mean age 81) were studied. Ninety percent had the MAVO at the 15%–25% R-R interval. There was high interobserver correlation (0.89) for determining the MAVO phase by visual inspection. For 49 out of 50 patients, the annular area was maximal at the MAVO phase. The mean difference in the annular area between the MAVO phase and 35% was 22.3 (±4.57) mm2. In 12% of the patients, the difference in the annular area changed the recommended size of a self-expanding prosthesis and would have altered the procedure in 32% for balloon-expandable prostheses.
Visually assessed MAVO occurs in early systole for most patients and is almost always the cardiac phase of the maximal aortic annular area. This method allows rapid and reproducible determination of the appropriate phase for TAVR planning measurements. Consideration should be given to optimizing pre-TAVR computed tomography acquisitions for early systolic reconstruction and visual determination of the MAVO.

We know that Call of Duty: Black Ops' second map pack, "Escalation," will apparently be launching this May - but Activision hasn't announced it yet.
The website for the Australian branch of GAME posted a flyer on its website advertising Black Ops' second map pack. Nothing out of the ordinary there, right? After all, you want your customers to know all about the latest and greatest DLC packs, naturally.
The only problem was that officially, the Escalation map pack didn't exist yet. Oops.
GAME reacted quickly to pull the electronic flyer down, but the internet has a long memory, and it was posted in its entirety over at VG247. As far as content goes, the Escalation pack will bring five new maps to Call of Duty's multiplayer: Four standard "shoot the other guys in the face" locales, and one new anti-zombies campaign.
Thanks to the big red letters on the poster, we know the sort of settings in which players will be murdering each other by the millions. It's fairly standard stuff - a hotel, a convoy mission, and a stockpile assault - but the interesting one is the headliner, a new map which supposedly takes place inside a zoo.
Will there be animals there? Can we unleash tigers on our enemies - or at least have them take care of those blasted attack dogs? If not, that would seem like a thoroughly wasted chance to allow Treyarch to flex its chops as a developer and come up with some interesting scenery beyond just "war-torn urban landscape."
Of course, if you could shoot endangered animals like lions and tigers, you'd probably get PETA breathing your neck, so maybe it's for the best.
We'll learn more when the map pack is officially announced. It's currently slated for May 3rd on Xbox 360, and sometime later for PC and PS3 thanks to Activision's timed-exclusivity deal with Microsoft.

Lucas Perez wants to stay at Arsenal and it may be worth having him around
by Jack Newman share
2 minute read 7/8/2018 | 08:13am
Arsenal forward Lucas Perez wants to stay at Arsenal and fight for his place despite reported interest from Sporting Lisbon and West Ham United, according to The Independent.
The 29-year-old joined the Gunners from Deportivo La Coruna back in 2016 for a reported fee of £17.1million.
He has since gone on to make just 11 league appearances for Arsenal and then returned to Deportivo on loan last season, where he scored eight goals in 35 games.
The forward featured in Unai Emery's first two pre-season games this summer and according to the report he wants to stay at Arsenal next season.
Perez has been linked with moves to Sporting Lisbon and West Ham United this summer.
[brid autoplay="true" video="275149″ player="12034″ title="Rafa's Pub Facts Zlatan Richarlison & Alisson"]
What should Arsenal do?
It's an encouraging sign for Arsenal that a fringe player wants to stay and fight at the club and it shows the positive influence Unai Emery is having at the club this summer.
However, they have to be realistic and know that at 29, Perez is unlikely to improve drastically and hasn't shown that he's cut out for top-flight English football.
Arsenal have one of the best strikers around in Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang but clearly Perez backs himself to displace the talented forward.
He's unlikely to command a big transfer fee but Arsenal will need backup this season so perhaps it would be best to keep him on their books and see if he can reward the faith the club are putting in him.

Freightliner eM2 medium-duty electric truck already on US roads
The fully electric trucks of the American company Freightliner will soon become commonplace on the streets of the USA, it is reported that the first copies of the eM2 model have already been shipped to the transport company and have begun their work.
Freightliner is one of the divisions of the German automotive concern Daimler AG. Just a few hours ago, it became known that the first deliveries of Freightliner eM2 trucks to US transportation companies began.
The EM2 is the first medium-duty truck from the Freightliner brand, which is powered by an all-electric powerplant.
It is reported that the first 30 copies of a fully environmentally friendly truck were transferred to Penske Truck Leasing Corporation in Los Angeles.
Daimler Trucks, the cargo division of the German concern, reports that Freightliner is the first automaker in the world to begin testing electric vehicles in direct collaboration with customers. Employees of Penske Truck Leasing Corporation will operate an electric truck on California roads. Next year, it will receive another 20 all-electric Freightliner EM2 trucks – it is known that 10 of them will be medium-tonnage eM2, and another 10 will be heavy-duty eCascadias.
According to the guys from Freightliner, in 2021 the mass production of eM2 and eCascadia trucks will begin. EM2 is classified as a medium duty truck (from 6 to 12 tons). Electric truck boasts a range of 370 km. Charging batteries with a power of 325 kW / h to 80% takes about 60 minutes, and the electric motor of the truck develops power up to 480 hp
Not so long ago, our automobile edition wrote that Volkswagen presented the concept of a mobile charging station for electric cars.
There are new details about the updated BMW M3
Bertone will be revived for the release of the electric supercar

Universal basic income is not a crazy idea
By Gwynne Dyer June 9, 2016 November 3, 2016 8 189
'Every ATM contains the ghosts of three bank tellers'
In a referendum on Sunday, Swiss voters rejected a proposal for a guaranteed annual income for everybody by an overwhelming 78 per cent-22 per cent majority. But the idea was not crazy, and it is not going to go away.
The Dutch city of Utrecht is developing a pilot project for a universal basic income that will launch in January 2017. The Finnish government is designing a trial to see whether giving low-income people a guaranteed basic income destroys their motivation to do any work at all, as critics allege. The idea is not going away because most "real" jobs are on the way out.
The old argument in defence of technological change – that it creates more new jobs than it destroys – no longer holds water. In the 1980s, 8 per cent of new jobs created in the developed economies were in entirely new occupations, from call-centres to computer programmers. In the 1990s, only 4.4 per cent of the new jobs involved newly invented occupations. In the 2000s, only half a per cent did.
So full-time jobs with benefits have declined steeply – only one-quarter of working-age Americans now have one – and the so-called "gigging economy" has not filled the gap. Doing a variety of "gigs" – low-paid, short-term, often part-time jobs – will never replace the old steady jobs with paid holidays, sick pay and a pension.
Industrial jobs were the first to be destroyed by automation, but it soon moved on to the less demanding clerical jobs as well. As somebody said: "Every ATM contains the ghosts of three bank tellers." And now it's moving on to the kinds of jobs that it once seemed impossible to automate. Driving, for example.
The driverless vehicles that are now to be found meticulously observing the speed limit (and causing angry traffic jams behind them) on the roads of various major cities will soon be out of the experimental stage. At that point, the jobs of many millions of truck-drivers, bus-drivers and van-drivers will be in jeopardy.
Another huge chunk of the economy will start shedding jobs rapidly as online health monitoring and diagnosis take over the routine work of non-specialised health professionals. A similar fate awaits most mid-level jobs in the financial services sector, the retail sector and "management" in general.
The standard political response to this trend is to try desperately to create other jobs, even if they are poorly paid, almost pointless jobs, in order to keep people "in work" and off welfare. Unemployment is seen as a failure by both the government and the victim.
Yet this "problem" is actually a success story. Why would you see an economy that delivers excellent goods and services without requiring people to devote half their waking hours to work as a problem? The real problem is figuring out how to distribute the benefits of automation when people's work is no longer needed.
And so to this relatively new idea: universal basic income. The core principle is that everybody gets a guaranteed income that is enough to live on, whether they are poor or rich, employed or not. They can earn as much more as they want, if they can find the work, but their basic needs are covered.
The actual amounts did not get mentioned in the Swiss referendum, but the people who proposed it were thinking in terms of a monthly income of $2,500 for every adult, and an additional sum of $625 a month for every child. It would replace the usual humiliating jumble of welfare payments with a single fixed sum for everybody, so it has appeal for the right wing as well as the left.
In the Swiss model (and in many others) the cost of a universal basic income is about 50 per cent higher than current expenditure on welfare payments, so taxes would be higher. But so would incomes, including those of high earners, since even they are getting the same flat annual payment of $30,000 per adult.
As for the inevitable rise of the "gigging economy", that then becomes just the way people top up their incomes in order to afford luxuries. If there is work available, then people would still want to do it – but if there is not, they would still have decent lives.
About half the remaining traditional full-time jobs in advanced economies will be eliminated by automation in the next 10-20 years, so this is an idea whose time has come. Why then did the Swiss reject it by a 4-to-1 majority? Mainly because their deal with the European Union means that they have relatively open borders.
Luzi Stamm, a member of parliament for the right-wing Swiss People's Party, liked the idea in principal but opposed it in practice: "Theoretically, if Switzerland were an island, the answer is yes," he told the BBC. "But with open borders, it's a total impossibility…If you offered every individual [living here] a Swiss amount of money, you would have billions of people who would try to move into Switzerland."
Well, tens of millions anyway. But the solution to that is to control the borders, not to abandon the whole idea. This debate has barely begun.

Most famous for its vast oil reserves, enormous wealth and meteoric rise to global economic power, Qatar is more than just black gold and business. Already a popular stopover destination, Qatar is in the spotlight more than ever as it makes preparations to host the football World Cup in 2022. Whether you're visiting for business, just passing through en-route or making plans for your World Cup stay, here are five of our favourite things to do in Qatar.
Get your bearings and take in the city's spectacular skyline from the water with a relaxing trip on a traditional Dhow boat. Head out in the early afternoon to enjoy a fresh BBQ lunch served on board or take to the waters in the evening to watch the sun set over Doha.
For an authentic Qatari experience make your way to the Souq Waqif where you'll find locals peddling their wares, with everything from traditional hand-made gifts to fragrant, colourful spices. This labyrinthine shopping bazaar is popular with both visitors and locals and is a great place to try some of the varied cuisines on offer in the city.
It would be a shame to leave Qatar without taking a trip to the desert to witness the breath-taking Qatari landscapes. Thrill-seekers will love the adrenaline rush of diving and drifting over the undulating dunes in a 4X4. Make sure to ask your driver to take you to see Khor Al Adaid, Qatar's incredible inland sea.
Before striking oil in the 1940s, Qatar's economy was mainly based on pearl fishing and Al Zubarah was once a thriving port, bustling with fishermen and merchants. Dating back to the 1760s, the remains of Al Zubarah are now a UNESCO World Heritage site, comprising over 60 hectares of archaeological works.
Housed in a spectacular building, which is worth the visit alone, this world-class museum boasts an extraordinary collection of art, encompassing creative works from over 1,400 years and three continents.

Manuka Honey Review 2016
Home / Articles / Manuka Honey Review 2016
Posted on January 7, 2017 at 6:03 pm by Oliver / Articles, News
Delicious Manuka Honey
It is not only the world of politics that has been witness to many seismic events in 2016, but the manuka honey industry too has had quite an eventful year.
Mention the word beekeeping to many and it is likely to conjure up a hobby more at place in the sleepy and old-fashioned world of Miss Marple and St Mary Mead, the reality, however, could not be further from the truth.
The manuka honey industry is a global industry worth millions of dollars, competition for beehive sites is intense, and global demand for medical skin and wound care products made from medical grade manuka honey continues to accelerate as they become more mainstream.
Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMF HA) takes centre stage
The Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association (UMF HA) is the main actor responsible for the seismic events that have taken place in the industry over the past year. This is the organization that controls the UMF label with its testing and grading system for manuka honey.
While it was already known that what gives manuka honey its antibacterial properties is a naturally occurring element called methylglyoxal or MGO, research carried out by the UMF Honey Association identified two new compounds that occur in manuka honey: Leptosperin and Lepteridine.
Measurable therefore possible to verify genuine manuka honey
The main point of all this complex science and research work is the fact that these naturally occurring elements can be detected and measured and therefore it is possible to test whether manuka honey is genuine or not.
In fact, another part of the work the UMF Honey Association has carried out this year has been a new method of testing for these substances using fluorescence testing with a prototype device developed for the project.
Not all honey and roses
However, it is not all honey and roses in the manuka honey industry as the UMF Honey Association is attempting to trademark the term manuka honey as meaning only manuka honey produced in New Zealand, and if successful this would stop its neighbour, Australia, from using the term for manuka honey produced in Australia.
The manuka tree is also native to some parts of Australia, where they also produce manuka honey, but the UMF Honey Association has suggested manuka from Australia be labelled as tea tree or jellybush honey, which are other names for the manuka bush in Australia.
Australia slow off the mark
The manuka honey industry in Australia has been much slower to realise the industry's full potential.
But despite the slow start, a major project led by the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) has just discovered that some of the manuka honey produced in Australia is equally as potent, if not more so than those from New Zealand.
What does this mean for consumers of manuka honey?
It is still the case that there can still be a multitude of confusing labels on jars of manuka honey. But the main honey exporters in New Zealand have clearly started to converge around the UMF Honey Association and therefore the UMF label gives manuka honey shoppers assurance that the honey in the jar is genuine manuka.
As for the longer term, it will be interesting to see how the upcoming battle between the manuka honey industry in Australia and New Zealand turns out. Interesting times lie ahead for fans of manuka honey.

Watch this space: Sky feeds eSport growth with dedicated channel
By Erin McKenzie August 8, 2018 No Comments
ESports are about to have a new home in New Zealand with the launch of a pop-up eSports channel on Sky.
Kicking off 13 August as part of the Sky Starter package, the dedicated channel will deliver Ginx eSports TV, an eSports TV network that's already available in over 50 countries.
The three-month pop up will feature eSports tournaments together with news, lifestyle, documentary and presenter-led live shows filmed and produced at its London headquarters.
Ginx also offers recaps, and stories of the players, teams and the behind-the-scenes at events from across the globe.
It's a step up from Sky's previous plays in the eSports space, which has seen it broadcast Let's Play Live eSports events held in the studio space tucked inside the SkyCity Sky Tower.
Speaking to NZ Marketing earlier this year, Let's Play Live managing director John McRae said it's been incredibly lucky to have Sky TV as a partner through its growth period.
"…they do get a lot of stick but niche sports wouldn't exist without them, it was the same for boxing, snooker, darts, and now eSports, they are a great partner to work with."
And now, Sky TV director of strategy, George MacFarlane, says it will have even more content thanks to the dedicated channel.
"The worldwide eSports market is growing at a phenomenal rate and it is now at a stage where we think it makes sense for SKY to get involved. With medal events in the 2022 Asian Games and serious discussions happening to include eSports in the 2024 Summer Olympics, eSports will only continue to grow."
MacFarlane's views are shared by McRae, who says while eSports is still fledgling in New Zealand, there is significant interest, and he's ensuring that Kiwis aren't left behind in the red-hot sector.
"ESports has been around at a grassroots level for a long time in New Zealand, our job was to provide a platform and give eSports access into a mainstream audience, there is no reason why it can't be as big as it is overseas and continue to grow here in New Zealand."
McRae was the Media Visionary in StopPress/NZ Marketing's 2018 Media Hot List. See the full interview with him here.
Around the world, eSports revenue is experiencing 40 percent year-on-year growth, with a global viewing audience of around 385 million. In New Zealand, there are 1 million gaming participants.
And those participants aren't just teenage boys living at home MacFarlane says. While participation is male-skewed, there's also a substantial female base and it's hoped showing it to Sky customers will help people to better understand it and the scale of the eSports world – something not always achieved when people stumble across streamed content online.
With a growing audience, it's an opportunity for brands not to miss and although Ginx will initially be ad-free, MacFarlane says it's keen to work with advertisers that would like to get involved.
"We think we have a role to play in getting it on our platform to help people experience eSports and understand it a bit better."
The channel's three-month longevity may also see a change as the pop-up infrastructure was used to get the channel up and see what a dedicated eSports channel will look like. MacFarlane hopes it will help it to establish a strategy for the long-term.
The pop-up, and potentially permanent, channel comes in the wake of a tough start to 2018 for Sky as it lost the Rugby World Cup Rights to Spark and TVNZ.
Its subscriber count was also down from 816,135 in December 2016 to 778,776 subscribers in 2017.
Facing competition from streaming services, earlier this year Sky dropped its entry-level price to $24.91 a month.
Last week NZ On Air's released its latest media consumption report Where Are The Audiences 2018, showing total (net) SVOD reaches 62 percent of New Zealanders while TV (via pay TV platform) reaches 52 percent.

China's 3G Build-up Boosts Texas Instruments
By Dan Nystedt
Texas Instruments on Monday became the latest chip maker to increase its view of the first quarter because of increased demand for communications chips from China.
The second largest chip maker in the U.S. raised the mid-point of its first quarter revenue guidance by about US$50 million compared to its previous forecast, to between $1.79 billion and $2.05 billion.
"The upside is most notable in embedded processing and analog communications infrastructure products that are being driven by China 3G programs," said Ron Slaymaker, a vice president at Texas Instruments, in a conference call.
[ Further reading: Best NAS boxes for media streaming and backup ]
China is the world's largest mobile phone market in the world, with 641.23 million subscribers as of the end of last year.
The construction of China's 3G (third generation mobile telecommunications) network, which is a priority alongside the government's 4 trillion Chinese yuan (US$585 billion) economic stimulus package, is lifting a number of communications chip makers.
Altera and Xilinx of the U.S. and MediaTek of Taiwan are among companies that last week revised their quarterly revenue guidance up because of increased orders related to telecommunications spending in China.
Overall, Slaymaker said Texas Instruments' orders have trended up from very weak levels seen in the fourth quarter. But he cautioned that the uptick, and China-related demand, do not translate into a chip industry rebound.
"We have not seen the kind of broad based strengthening that would normally be associated with the end of an inventory depletion cycle," he said.
He also said that TI expects end demand to continue to decline, which will impact the company's chip business.
Revenue in the global chip market is expected to drop 22 percent in 2009, compared to last year, according to IDC. The market researcher said the chip market won't recover until 2010.


The first time I heard Bob Dylan, I was in the car with my mother listening to WMCA and on came that snare shot that sounded like somebody had kicked open the door to your mind: "Like a Rolling Stone." My mother – she was no stiff with rock and roll, she liked the music – sat there for a minute, then looked at me, and said, "That guy can't sing." But I knew she was wrong. I sat there and I didn't say nothing but I knew that I was listening to the toughest voice that I had ever heard. It was lean and it sounded somehow simultaneously young and adult.
Dylan was a revolutionary. Bob freed your mind the way Elvis freed your body, He showed us that just because the music was innately physical did not mean that it was anti-intellectual.

Cultural Analysis of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Category War, Life, History
Topic Israeli Palestinian Conflict, Values, World History
Words 592 (1 page)
When a large number of people with similar values confronts another group with different values, a cultural clash occurs. In the contemporary world, there are various conflicts, and the strife between Israel and Palestine deserves public attention. Palestine should be condemned for demonstrating unreasonable aggression towards its neighboring state.
This conflict has many facets and dimensions. It is obviously a religious-cultural (a Muslim-Jewish) conflict: "The Jews, the enemies of Allah and of His Messenger, enemies of humanity in general, and of Palestinians in particular… the Jews would not cease to harbor hatred towards Muslims… The Prophet says: 'You shall fight the Jews and kill them all" (The Cultural-Historical Debate behind the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict 2016).
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is also a territorial-national one, and it began many decades ago. The first war occurred in 1948 with the arrival of the first Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe into "Palestine," the land of their forefathers. Jews who lived all over the world and by far did not have their country began immigrating into Palestine. The main reason was escaping genocidal persecution during world war I. Jews bought property and started their businesses and were living peacefully in then-Palestine. Unfortunately, Muslim/Arabs in Palestine were enraged by the presence of Jews and Jewish immigration even though Jews were peaceful, had legally purchased land and were contributing to local economies with their businesses, professions and prosperous farms.
The motivation was pure religious bigotry against Jews by Muslim/Arabs. There were many attempts to conduct negotiations, make legislative proposals but the result was not successful. However, there is still hope that the leadership of the two countries can improve the political situation. Israel and Palestine have the same values, mindset, and they used to have the same education level until Israel destroyed the schools and education system. Concerning Islamic theology, it ignites and fuels the divergence between cultures because the Koran declares that Islam is a supreme religion, and it denigrates those who are non-Muslims. Such an ideology arouses disagreements and conflicts with values of civilized countries and with those supported particularly in Israel. The western countries consider Israel to be to be a politically western oriented state governed by a Jewish cultural majority with notable religious minorities, organized and functioning in a democratic way. In this regard, the Isralian culture and values differ considerably from the culture prevailing among her Arab-Islamic neighbors, particularly in Palestine.
Immediately after the World War II, Palestine was not the priority of the United States. The paranoia of the Cold War and the need to ensure unrestricted access to the region's oil, the US for many years stood aloof from the ensuing wars between Israel and the adjacent Arab states and sought primarily to limit the influence of the Soviet Union in the Middle East. "Today, Israel regards the US as its principal supporter and ally, and the US regards Israel as a vital regional partner in the war against terrorism. Israel's enemies are America's enemies, and vice versa" (Bickerton 208).
The Palestinians emphasize their victimhood, suffering and a deep sense of injustice at being punished because of Europe's treatment of Jews. They omit the topic of initiating wars, violence, weak leadership and constant refusal to take opportunities for accommodation. The Israelians emphasize their historical attachment to the area and the legitimacy which the United Nations granted the Jews according to the Partition plan, the hostility and constant threat of wars coming from their neighboring countries, and the rejection of their peace offers. Underlying it all is the ever-present painful subject of the Holocaust.

Q: Travis start server and continue with scripts for my tests I need a dummy server which outputs sample/test code. I use a node http server for that and start it before my scripts with node ./test/server.js.
I can start it, but the issue is that it's taking up the instance and therefore can't run the tests now.
So the question is, how can I run the server in the background/new instance so it doesn't conflict with that? I do stop the server with the end_script so I don't have to terminate it.
This is my travis-config so far:
language: node_js
node_js:
  - "6.1"
cache:
  directories:
    — node_modules
install:
  - npm install
before_script:
  - sh -e node ./test/server.js
script:
  - ./node_modules/mocha-phantomjs/bin/mocha-phantomjs ./test/browser/jelly.html
  - ./node_modules/mocha-phantomjs/bin/mocha-phantomjs ./test/browser/form.html
  - ./node_modules/mocha/bin/mocha ./test/node/jelly.js
after_script:
  - curl http://localhost:5555/close

A: You can background the process by appending a &:

Havasu Nutrition Night Time Fat Burner claims to provide certain benefits. Among these include being a stimulant-free fat burner that limits the absorption of carbs, promoting healthy elimination, warding off nighttime cravings and preventing morning hunger pangs.
It also claims to help improve body composition and post workout recovery by helping to aid the body's natural sleeping process of repairing and rebuilding muscle and bone tissue, facilitating cellular regeneration and restoring your metabolism's balance.
Beyond that, the manufacturer says that this product can also help you enjoy a restful night's sleep, promoting deeper relaxation.
The only way to know if any of these benefits are even possible is to take a look at the product's formula. When this Havasu Nutrition Night Time Fat Burner review was written, the ingredients included: White Kidney Bean Extract Powder, Green Coffee Bean extract, L-Theanine, L-Tryptophan, Valerian Root Extract, Lemon Balm Extract, Passion Flower Extract, Melatonin.
There are a few things to note about the ingredients. Firstly, white kidney bean is believed to block carbs. That said, research has never proven this ingredient to be effective for weight loss. Moreover, a carb blocker is meant to be taken with high carb meals and this dietary supplement's suggested use is to take 1 capsule after your last meal or as directed by a health care professional. Therefore, it doesn't quite make sense why they would bother putting a carb blocker in a nighttime formula since you won't be eating while you're sleeping.
Secondly, this product contains green coffee bean. The label does not say that it has been decaffeinated, which means that there is still caffeine in this ingredient. Although the amount of caffeine is reportedly minimal in green coffee bean, the fact remains that it still exists. Therefore, the manufacturer's claim that its Night Time Fat Burner is stimulant-free is false. While it may be considered a non-stimulant product due to a low amount of caffeine, declaring it caffeine-free would mean that there are zero traces of caffeine in these pills, which is not the case.
As for its other ingredients, valerian root, lemon balm, passion flower and melatonin, research has found that these herbs can help promote relaxation and calm, which could support more restful sleep.
On the whole, Havasu Nutrition Night Time Fat Burner may help to provide you with a more restful sleep. This, in turn, could potentially benefit your weight management goals, as proper sleep can help to reduce feelings of stress and help you to be more mentally alert, which can naturally provide you with more energy and improve your chances of making smarter choices when it comes to staying committed to a calorie-reduced diet.
All that said, it is highly unlikely that this product will provide any additional fat burning at night compared to the typical amount of fat your body would naturally burn while you sleep.
Be sure to talk to your healthcare provider if you are thinking about making Havasu Nutrition Night Time Burner a part of our weight management program.

From the Dayton Business Journal. This does not happen, if everything is good at Skybus. Now I am officially worried about their future:
Skybus Airlines Inc. Chief Executive Officer Bill Diffenderffer is stepping down as the discount airline's financial chief steps in to lead the company. The Columbus-based airline on Monday said Diffenderffer told the company's board he was resigning effective immediately to return to the writing career he left in 2005 to help launch Skybus.
His successor is Mike Hodge, 35, who has served as the company's chief financial officer for a year after a stint as managing director at Tiger Management, a New York-based hedge fund that provided equity financing for Skybus. C. Robert Kidder, chairman of Skybus' board, said in a statement that Diffenderffer "feels that now is the time for others in the organization to take the lead in moving Skybus forward."
Diffenderffer in 2005 published "The Samurai Leader," a book about business leadership. He stepped in as CEO of Skybus after spending 25 years in the travel industry. He began his airline career in the early 1980s as an attorney for Eastern Air Lines. Since then, he has served as CEO of SystemOne Corp. and SystemOne Amadeus, the computerized reservation division of Continental Airlines. He also spent three years through 2001 as chairman and CEO of Xtra Online, a developer of travel-planning and reservation software. Before coming to Skybus, he was a partner in IBM Corp.'s global transportation business consulting practice.
True, true ... better that we didn't get mixed up with them.
Remember the hokey advertising campaign when MTV first came out and they were trying to get cable channels to carry them, " I WANT MY MTV !!!" Maybe we should start something like "I WANT ALLEGIANT AIRLINES BACK AT ORH !!!"?!?!?!?!?!
Do you think it would work?
We have 300,000 of grant monies from the DOT that we got a one year extension to spend by Spetember, 2008.
We should call Allegiant and say "We want You Back and we have 300,000 reasons why"
I thought our liason said we cannot spend that money on airline subsidies?????
How about if we spend it on subsidizing terminal operations and passing that reduced cost onto a carrier? Would that be a legal way accomplish the same objective? What you cannot do directly, you do indirectly.
What does he reign over?
An empty airport
In other, sadder news, Pan Am officially shut down on March 3. It did well by Worcester when it operated and I'm sad to see it go under... again.

President Trump in Rochester Thursday for rally for first district U.S. House race
By hot967|2018-10-04T07:57:12-05:00October 4th, 2018|
President Trump is in Rochester Thursday for a rally at Mayo Civic Center, spotlighting a high-profile race for U.S. House between Republican Jim Hagedorn and Democrat Dan Feehan.
Carleton College analyst Steven Schier notes Rochester voters have less partisan allegiance than others in southern Minnesota and said, "In the First District you've got a big group of moderate Republicans, well-to-do, well-educated, in Rochester — and I think he needs to be very aware of that."
About one-fourth the population of the First Congressional District is in the Rochester metro area, making those voters an important swing factor in the November election.
Schier added that Trump comes to Rochester as the fight in Washington D.C. over Brett Kavanaugh reaches fever pitch and, "Of course the president has the capacity to help and hurt his candidates with his comments, so you have to watch those carefully."
Hamline University Professor David Schultz said a visit from Trump could have the opposite effect Republicans want by galvanizing Democrats, "Because at that point it nationalizes the election…and no matter what anybody thinks, 2018 is really a referendum on Donald Trump."
Schultz said polls suggest Hagedorn has a solid lead over Feehan in the First District U.S. House race, and said Trump might be visiting just to preserve his political capital by, "Going into districts where he believes maybe the person running already is doing well, so that come after election day, he can take credit for something when in fact it may not have been due to him."
It's expected the president will also campaign for Republican U.S. Senate candidate Karin Housley and 2nd District Congressman Jason Lewis. Both are engaged in tough battles as the election nears.
Meanwhile, D.F.L. candidates and volunteers kick off what they dub "KNOCK-tober" with door-to-door campaigning in Rochester. They say it's the first in a series of events across Minnesota before Election Day, which is just under a month away.

NY City Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer, New York State Senator Mike Gianaris, Assemblyman Brian Barnwell, and representatives from the offices of Congressman Joe Crowley and Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan were on hand to help honor Sunnyside Community Services' volunteers at their annual celebration on April 26, 2018.
Among the hundreds of volunteers serving at SCS, Sunnyside Community Services recognizes several "Volunteers of the Year" for their exceptional service to the agency and the community it serves.
After serving as a combat engineer and spending 25 years in management, Jairo Bernal decided to retire. But that didn't mean slowing down. Jairo is a regular volunteer at the SCS Center for Active Older Adults, welcoming and assisting members at reception, and helping with onsite blood pressure screenings, which keeps members on top of their medical information between doctor visits. For his service, Bernal was recognized as the SCS Abe Vilensky Volunteer of the Year for Service to the Center for Active Older Adults.
Francisco Mena volunteers in SCS' Social Adult Day program for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementia. Francisco's reliability, sensitivity to the special needs of the members, and his ability to provide Spanish translations for staff, families, and members helped him to win the SCS Adult Day Services Volunteer of the Year Award.
Abdur Chowdhry is a passionate advocate about healthy and independent aging. He has volunteered more than 1,200 hours since joining SCS in late 2016. He jumps in to do whatever needs to be done, and still attends classes such as the SCS English as a Second Language class in his "free time." For his dedication and energy, Abdur was awarded the SCS Administrative Support Volunteer of the Year Award.
Patricia Shubert has been instrumental in supporting the unique intergenerational programs SCS offers to older adults and local youth. Shubert helps to organize events and leads the team of seniors in devising creative programming. She also finds time to help the SC pre-Kindergarten programs as well. For her service, Shubert was awarded the SCS Youth and Family Services Volunteer of the Year Award.
Emily Vertosick has volunteered as a Friendly Visitor at SCS since 2014, visiting Alice, age 65, every week, and almost never missed day. In addition to providing companionship, she helps Alice with small chores around the house such as using the computer or reading mail. Emily also walks Akira, Alice's retired service dog, allowing Alice to keep her at home. As an example of the beautiful friendships that can bloom in volunteer service, and for her commitment and dedication, Emily was awarded the SCS Friendly Visiting Volunteer of the Year.
Since it was formed last year, Jennifer Silverman and Shyvonne Noboa have tirelessly co-chaired Sunnyside Community Services' Advocacy Committee, determined to make a real difference in the community. For their focus on defending the rights of all New Yorkers, Jennifer and Shyvonne were awarded the first SCS Gert McDonald Advocate of the Year Award, named in memory and honor of Gert McDonald, a long-time SCS member and legendary local activist. Eileen Auld, Gert's daughter, presented the award to Jennifer and Shyvonne, citing the Committee's efforts in setting up voter registration drives, phone banks for urgent issues, participation at marches and rallies, and defending the rights of SCS's diverse population and all New Yorkers.

The illustration is a representation of the nanocapsule working inside a cancer cell as it releases genes to help turn on cancers fighting properties. The photosensitive chemicals the cells have been turned on to generate is dubbed "KillerRed" by the researchers and is represented here by the red pac-man like character.
The stuff of science fiction is moving closer and closer to reality. Imagine nanoscale capsules loaded with therapeutic payloads that pass through the blood supply, releasing their cancer-limiting agents only when they meet the tumorous cancer cells.
It may sound a bit like futuristic action thriller but research into this treatment is happening right now in South Australia.
The research from the University of South Australia and co-workers in Taiwan, published in Nature Communications this month and successfully demonstrated in mouse models, represents a new hope for a more effective treatment for lung cancer.
Research leader, Dr Ivan Kempson says the nanoscale capsules have already been developed and demonstrated successfully and have been loaded with two different genes.
"One of the genes helps to reinstate a mechanism in the cancer cells that enables them to self-destruct," Dr Kempson says.
Dr Kempson says the therapy is being developed to target lung cancer which is responsible for about a quarter of all cancer-related deaths.
"Lung cancer has been a very difficult disease to treat because of the sensitivity of the lung tissue and the importance of lung function," he says.
"Traditional treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy have huge limitations.
"A relatively new therapy being used in the US for the treatment of lung cancer is photodynamic therapy (PDT) which relies on injecting the patient with a photosensitising chemical and then irradiation of the tumor with lasers.
"The chemical is selected to react with the laser light and produce reactive cells including radicals that can destroy the cancer cells.
Working with mice with aggressive lung cancer tumors the researchers have already extended life expectancy from 28 to 68 days.
"I think we are making some important steps along the road to finding a better treatment for lung cancer, but the research into the development of sophisticated nanocapsules will have wider applications for gene therapies and play its part in emerging photodynamic therapies.
