NEW YORK - MAY 15: Two overweight women walk together along Times Square May 15, 2003 in New York City. According to a new study, the U.S. spends upwards of $93 billion annually to treat health problems related to obesity. Americans are heavier than ever before, making the U.S. one of the most overweight countries in the world. (Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)
The United States acknowledges and accepts that it has a weight problem. Obesity has become a serious national issue, with a quarter of the U.S. population considered obese. Health professionals have even spoken out against stigmatizing obese people. It's surprising, then, that obese people—white women specifically—are discriminated against where it arguably hurts the most: in their paychecks.
According to a recent study by David Lempert of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is a "statistically significant continual increase in the wage penalty for overweight and obese white women followed throughout two decades." And the trend has increased, even as more Americans have become obese. One way to look at it, the author of the study writes, is that "the increasing rarity of thinness has led to its rising premium."

The Best People
Published by: Greenleaf Book Group Press
A Tale of Trials and Errors
Paddy Moran, a former cop from Brooklyn, is a newly licensed attorney in Houston with dreams and aspirations to make it big. He survives early rough bumps and ethical challenges. Then, through networking, he lands two high-profile clients. With his brash moxie and brilliant legal strategy, he gets outstanding outcomes that put him on the success trajectory to the upper echelons of the city's divorce bar. But, faced with difficult choices in high-stakes litigation, will he balance his thirst for recognition and respect with his sense of right and wrong?
The Best People also follows Pilar Galt, a sensuous, intelligent single mother from the Houston barrios, for whom a temp assignment evolves into a relationship with the richest man in town. Her path intersects with Paddy's and eventually converges during a pivotal time in her life when she must overcome self-destructive tendencies to survive.
A legal drama and social satire set after Enron and before the devastation of Hurricane Harvey, The Best People portrays a Houston as it is, a glitzy meritocracy populated with larger-than-life characters. It is the landscape where the country-club and café-society sets clash amidst clever legal maneuvering, big law firm politics, a Ponzi scheme and judicial corruption.
Winner of Readers' Favorite 5 Stars
"Marc Grossberg has the experience and the smarts to make Houston come alive on the page. The Best People will even take lifelong Houstonians to places they've never been. As they say in Houston, if it ain't true, it oughta be."
—Mimi Swartz, executive editor of Texas Monthly, two-time National Magazine Award winner, author of Ticker, New York Times contributing op-ed writer
"Not in many years has Houston been so vivid a character in a novel about third-coast justice. The high stakes
conflict of money and power are anything but a backdrop…through the steamy bayous, bedrooms, and
courtrooms of the biggest small town in Texas."
—Kim Ogg, Harris County District Attorney
"I fell in love with Paddy as he was transformed from a rough and ready New York cop into a suave Houston socialite and followed him though his triumphs and tribulations. Pilar is another memorable character who's beauty and strength are marvelously portrayed. The Best People is a fast-paced, well-written story and I could not put the book down."
—Bapsi Sidhwa author of best selling novels including Cracking India (also published as Ice Candy Man and made into the acclaimed film "Earth")
"It's a real lawyer story. A real Houston story. A really great story well told. Grossberg nailed it!"
—Stephen D. Susman founding partner of Susman Godfrey and internationally known trial lawyer
"A realistic and entertaining read about Paddy Moran a young personal injury and divorce lawyer who learns his trade in Houston and blunders into some shady stuff. As his dreams get bigger, his crimes grow darker. Attorney Marc Grossberg knows his way around the courtroom and his intricate plot is sure to surprise. The Best People is also a paean to Houston. 'This may be the fourth largest city in the United States but everyone knows everyone here. It's a bad place to fall,' Grossberg writes. Amen."
—Andrea White
"More than 30 years ago Tom Wolfe published Bonfire of the Vanities, a magnificent satire of the chicanery of the rich and poor in New Year City. Marc Grossberg has brought a similar acumen to his home city of Houston, Texas. He is a wonderful raconteur and a master of the intricate plot.
Grossberg is superb in his understanding of the legal process and its temptations. I rarely have read a novel with such insights into how the legal system works—or sometimes doesn't work."
Mark Yudof the former Dean of the Texas Law School, former Chancellor of the University of Texas System

Q: I'm kinda confused on how to make a stack. Is this way reliable? stack = ["1", "2", "3"]
stack.append("4")
stack.append("6")
stack.pop()
print (stack)

This is usually how I make one, but I see other types of examples here, and can't tell if I'm doing it right. Any explenations?

A: This is from the official docs:
https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html
5.1.1. Using Lists as Stacks
The list methods make it very easy to use a list as a stack, where the last element added is the first element retrieved ("last-in, first-out"). To add an item to the top of the stack, use append(). To retrieve an item from the top of the stack, use pop() without an explicit index. For example:
>>> stack = [3, 4, 5]
>>> stack.append(6)
>>> stack.append(7)
>>> stack
[3, 4, 5, 6, 7]
>>> stack.pop()
7
>>> stack
[3, 4, 5, 6]
>>> stack.pop()
6
>>> stack.pop()
5
>>> stack
[3, 4]

A: You don't "make a stack" this way.
In your example, you use a list instance as a stack, simply by limiting the number of allowed methods. It's a bit like putting a blindfold on your eyes and pretending you're blind.
stack[i] and stack.insert(i, x) shouldn't be used, for example. But type(stack) still returns <class 'list'>:
>>> stack = ["1", "2", "3"]
>>> stack.append("4")
>>> stack.append("6")
>>> stack.pop()
'6'
>>> stack
['1', '2', '3', '4']
>>> type(stack)
<class 'list'>

So this way isn't really reliable, because there's nothing to prevent you from calling a list instance method on your stack:
>>> stack.insert(0,'0')
>>> stack
['0', '1', '2', '3', '4']

If you want to restrict the number of methods available to your stack object, you could write a Stack wrapper around list:
class Stack:

    def __init__(self, items=[]):
        self.items = items

    def isEmpty(self):
        return self.items == []

    def push(self, item):
        self.items.append(item)

    def pop(self):
        return self.items.pop()

    def peek(self):
        return self.items[-1]

    def size(self):
        return len(self.items)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.items)

stack = Stack(["1", "2", "3"])
stack.push("4")
stack.push("6")
stack.pop()
print(stack)
# ['1', '2', '3', '4']
stack.insert(0, '0')
# AttributeError: Stack instance has no attribute 'insert'

Q: Possible ways to convert predicted scores from PCA analysis? I have my predicted scores from PCA analysis, and my predicted scores have both negative and positive numbers. For instance, minimum value is - 4 and maximum value is 4. I plan to use the predicted score as an index for my research. I am wondering whether I should transform my predicted scores to 1- 10 scores or 0 - 1 and such to make the index looks nicer. In addition, why do both negative and positive numbers involved in predicted scores I got from PCA? Please share me readings related to rescaling or converted predicted scores from PCA if they exist.
Thanks in advance

A: Rescaling the mean, variance, and range of your index won't change your results substantively - it can make your indices more intuitive. I don't think there is a single, objective rescaling that is considered "best" - it would depend on your context, your audience, what you will eventually be modeling, etc.
There are risks to making your index appear something that it is not. For example, if you rescale from 0 to 100, it could nicely be interpreted as percentages, but that would be wrong of course. Or from 0 to 10, it could be interpreted similar to a test score, where 0 is the min and 10 is the maximum possible score, but again, that would be wrong. You could rescale the variance to be 1 (if it isn't already), where a unit increase in your regression means an increase in 1 standard deviation - that can be understood by some people, though non-technical folks often have trouble understanding what a standard deviation is. These are things to consider in doing your rescaling - again, I believe this is very context-specific.

Re-thinking Nature's Aliens: How True Bio-diversity Benefits Us All →
Re-defining God with the New Science of "Emergence"
by Nancy Ellen Abrams, author of A God That Could Be Real: Spirituality, Science, and the Future of Our Planet (Beacon Press, March 2015)
We are living at the dawn of a new picture of the universe. We now know that everything visible with our best telescopes is less than one percent of what's really out there. Our universe is made almost entirely of "dark matter" and "dark energy" – two invisible, dynamic presences whose 13.8 billion year competition with each other has spun the galaxies into being and thus created the only possible homes for evolution and life. This must change how we think about God.
I'm a philosopher of science, married to one of the astrophysicists who created the modern picture of the cosmos, Joel Primack. For ten years, he and I co-taught a course at the University of California, Santa Cruz, called "Cosmology and Culture," trying to help young people with no background in science understand how cosmologies have changed historically and how to wrap their minds around the counterintuitive idea that the "double dark" universe actually surrounds Earth and its newly discovered laws affect our world. We wrote The View from the Center of the Universe: Discovering Our Extraordinary Place in the Cosmos (Penguin/Riverhead 2006). We were invited to give the prestigious Terry Lectures at Yale in 2009, which became The New Universe and the Human Future: How a Shared Cosmology Could Transform the World (Yale Univ. Press 2011).
Everywhere we spoke, it seemed someone would ask, "But do you believe in God?"
I couldn't say. Personally, I was an atheist struggling to work a recovery program based on finding a believable "higher power." I was never interested in any God or higher power that had to be believed in. My quest was to visualize the source of the strength, comfort, and inspiration that the idea of higher power clearly offers through the lens of a reality based not on wishful thinking or tradition but on evidence. I stopped wondering, "Does God exist?" Instead I asked, "Could anything actually exist in the scientific universe that is worthy of being called God?"
My answer is yes: there's a way to think about God that takes away none of its power but all of its impossibilities, based on the new science of "emergence." In my new book, A God That Could Be Real: Spirituality, Science and the Future of Our Planet (Beacon Press, 2015), I explain that the complex structure of a busy ant hill emerges from the collective behavior of individually clueless ants, and the global economy, which no one understands, emerges from the interactions of trillions of ordinary people's choices. In almost any system where individual interactions become complex enough, something new and qualitatively different emerges on a higher level or organization. So an "emergent phenomenon" must be arising from the staggering complexity of humanity's collective aspirations interacting. This emergent phenomenon is real, powerful, and in dialog with every human by definition. I suggest it is worthy of the name God, and I show how rich and fertile this perspective can be. It makes possible a meaningful and coherent big picture for our time.
It's hard to grasp that the chance to re-define God is actually in our hands. But it is, and the way we do it could play a leading role in shaping the future of Earth.

Crab claw? Carson Daly shares the tales behind his tats
More Americans than ever have tattoos
May 8, 201403:59
May 8, 2014, 1:40 PM UTC
By Matt Murray
According to the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll, 40 percent of Americans say someone in their household has a tattoo. Carson Daly is one of them.
The TODAY anchor revealed his eight tattoos in the Orange Room Thursday morning. Carson said that for him, the key to his tattoos is the sentimental value behind them.
"I want it to be timeless—something where you look at it in 30 years and you're not embarrassed by what you have," Carson said. "I'm a family-first kind of guy, so everything on my body is really about my family."
1. One-eyed Jack for his son
Matt Murray / Today
"This one is for my son, Jack. I designed it myself and it has a lot of Jack references. So that's a one-eyed Jack playing card being pierced by an actual jack from the game Jacks. My son was born on March 15, which is the Ides of March, so there's the reference to that. I put at the bottom there a little Pisces, which is his sign. On the left side of the playing card, I put the American flag. I wanted a lot of Americana references."
2. Remembering 9/11
"This NYC one I got the day after September 11, here in New York. I went to work at MTV in Times Square and there was a bomb threat the next day, so we had to evacuate the building. As we were trying to figure out if we'd be on the air, I was kind of aimlessly walking around New York ... it was really weird. So I went to my tattoo shop and sat there listening to music and ended up having him put that on me as a sign of pride for being a New Yorker."
3. Tribute to his father
"J.D., James Daly, is my father who passed away when I was 5. He has the same initials as my son, Jack Daly, and me, Jones Daly. (Jones is Carson's middle name.) He was a Corvette dealer and the tattoo is designed after a hood ornament of a 1977 Corvette that he left me . I actually have the car that it's designed for. I wanted a nice memento to my father without it being too somber."
4. Green Beret
"This is probably my favorite one. My grandfather, my mom's father, was a green beret in the Army special forces. And this is from his actual green beret that he left me. This text in it is Latin for 'to free the oppressed.'"
5. His niece
"Jaden Patricia is my niece, my sister's firstborn. Patricia is my mom's name."
6. Curly Sark
"Cutty Sark is my step dad's favorite drink. It's a famous, old-school whiskey. It's like the Old Spice of whiskeys, it's just been around forever. His nickname is Curly, so I changed it from Cutty Sark to Curly Sark. And instead of 'Original Scotts Whisky,' I wrote 'Original Pops Whisky.' So it's an homage to my step dad who is like my father. I essentially have had two fathers. "
"456 is the logo of a record label I had in New York City and it just reminds me of that time in New York and my love of music. So it's just a reminder of really everything I'm about. 456 is a street dice game and it's a hip-hop label, so that's where we got 456. I don't have the label anymore."
8. The crab
"The crab was tattooed on top of the name of an ex-girlfriend. I was getting another tattoo at the time, and so I asked if they could just black out the name. So my tattoo artist had an idea, so I let him do whatever he wanted. My leg was up so I couldn't see it and an hour later when I finally looked at my leg, I asked him what it was. He said, 'It's a crab claw coming out of a pocket knife,' and I just said 'Perfect, thanks!'"
He currently has eight tattoos, but he says he's not done yet.
"I still need to get one for my daughter, Etta. And my sister has had another kid, so the kids are coming faster than my tattoos," Carson said. "I'm dying to go right now and get more."
Now that you've seen Carson's ink, he wants to see yours. Send pictures of your tattoos to Carson on Facebook or Twitter using #OrangeRoom. Here are some of our favorites so far:

LAYA Bring Us a New Amazon Original Cover Of Missy Elliott's 'Sock It 2 Me'
Credit - Gerron "Soul Vision" Caldwell
R&B singer, songwriter LAYA reveals a new Amazon Original cover of Missy Elliott's 'Sock It 2 Me' and confirms a date for her upcoming debut EP 'Um, Hello'
LAYA's version of the classic hip-hop/R&B track retains the effervescent energy of the original while showcasing her own sumptuously futuristic vision.
Over production that feels hard-hitting and trance-like, LAYA croons seductively and raps charismatically, peppering in her unique ad-libs and ethereal background harmonies. The bombastic production of the original song is pared back, and the result is understated, yet riveting—an entirely new experience. The lyric video that LAYA created is fun and funny; it embodies the young star's carefree spirit.
All month long, Amazon Music will release special programming, ranging from an exclusive live stream in collaboration with Femme It Forward—a women-led music and entertainment company that empowers creative and accomplished women visionaries—to new Amazon Original music by women who are rising to diversify the stage.
LAYA's spin on "Sock It 2 Me" came to fruition when Amazon approached her to make a cover of her choice. In LAYA's eyes, the decision was obvious. "I've sung it before, and I always had a good time singing it,"LAYA says. "I was like, 'I would love to actually go into the studio with [my production team ORA] and really flip the record and make it new again.'"
The new single follows the buoyant pop&B display on "Brag" featuring Fivio Foreign, which was praised by ET, Nylon, Revolt, Hot New Hip Hop, and more. She received a huge co-sign when Missy Elliott liked her song on social media. LAYA was discovered after independently releasing her own music, which she produced and wrote herself, on top of directing and editing her own visuals. Her December 2020 single, "Sailor Moon," went viral and it has since earned LAYA hundreds of thousands of views and countless new fans. With the re-release of her acclaimed Um, Hello EP on April 8, a breakout year is surely on the horizon for LAYA, as she continues to bring her contemporary perspective to nostalgic R&B.

Jaguars depart for 6th-round clash against Trinidad and Tobago Red Force
2018-2019 Regional 4-Day Tournament…
– new-look playing XI expected
By Brandon Corlette
Four-time defending champions and current table leaders, Guyana Jaguars will welcome their senior players back to the squad for the sixth- round clash against Trinidad and Tobago Red Force.
Team Guyana Jaguars
The Jaguars will clash with their regional arch-rivals from Thursday, January 31, at the Queens Park Oval from 10:00h, Eastern Caribbean time.
Vishaul Singh, Raymon Reifer and Chanderpaul Hemraj, who missed the fifth-round clash against the Leeward Islands Hurricanes due to Cricket West Indies President's XI duties, are set to return. Reifer, Singh and Hemraj are all players who have West Indies' experience: Reifer played one Test match, Singh played three, and Hemraj played six One-Day Internationals (ODIs).
Leon Johnson
Hemraj, who is the firs- choice opener, is expected to replace fellow left-handed opening batsman, Trevon Griffith. Hemraj has played one match in the 2018-2019 season against Barbados, when he scored a masterful 144 at the top of the order against a Test-playing bowling line-up. Meanwhile, Griffith has struggled this season: in four matches and eight innings, he scored 131 runs at an average of 18.71. Griffith has looked attractive in the batting crease all season, but he is currently going through a bad patch with his highest score this season being 37.
Singh has had a fairly good start to this 2018-2019 season, scoring 177 runs in the three matches he played. Singh, who has proved over the seasons to be the rock in the Jaguars middle order, is expected to walk into the Jaguars team, regaining his number four batting position. This season, Singh has an average of 44.25 with two half-centuries and his highest score being 90.
Vishaul Singh will return to the Jaguars team
Reifer, who has been a valuable asset to the Jaguars team, will return to the squad after playing one match this season, against Barbados. Reifer scored 90 runs in that match with a high score of 75 and picked up five wickets in both innings of the match. With Sherfane Rutherford not being a consistent performer in the Jaguars squad with bat and ball, he may be rested in the sixth-round clash. Rutherford played three matches this season, scoring 64 runs in five innings at a below-par-average of 12.80. Rutherford had scores of 54,0,0,6 and 4 in the five innings this season. His bowling has not had an impact this season with 20 overs in three matches and two wickets to his name.
The Leon Johnson-led Jaguars team will be aiming to bounce back after a two-wicket defeat by the Hurricanes. The Trinidad and Tobago Red Force team will be eyeing their second win of the season under Denesh Ramdin's captaincy and newly-appointed Head Coach, Mervyn Dillon. The Red Force are in fifth position after four matches this season; their opening batsman, Jeremy Solozano has been their leading batsman this season with 289 runs, inclusive of one century.
Jaguars will be wary of the Red Force spin wizard, Imran Khan, who has 19 wickets thus far in the four matches he has played this season. Red Force will miss the likes of Shannon Gabriel and Darren Bravo who are currently in the West Indies Test team playing against England.

Nothing Quite Like It!
Heroes Remember
Recommend Video 20 Recommends
Just prior to going over in '06, I was promoted to the rank of master corporal and I was placed in 5 Platoon B Company and in January of 2006 we were on a flight headed over the pond to experience something like I never thought in any way that I would ever experience. I never thought that I would be encased in anything that I experienced over there. We landed in Kandahar airfield and I just remember getting off the plane and it was just that impact of that heat and getting off the plane on the tarmac and it was like wow! This is something else! I never been to a desert type environment so that in itself was just a shock. Once we got off the plane and we organized ourselves in Kandahar airfield we did some engagements with the personnel that we'd be relieving and getting our weapons all checked out and just briefings and then we packed up our stuff and it was B Company that was encased into the PRT down in Kandahar city and I remember everybody talking before we headed out about these golden arches and IED alley and you just start hearing stories and, you know, it creates this initial feeling of anxiety which I couldn't relate with before. I didn't understand what anxiety was, I took it sort of like an adrenalin, keeping myself aware because when we initially jumped in the vehicles to roll out to head down to the PRT in Kandahar airfield, oh sorry in Kandahar city, it was just like wow this is something else. Like I am going through these poignant spots where like you hear about it on the news, you see it on TV but now it's like I am going to experience this. And I mean we made it through. There wasn't any incidents but I just remember that initial rush of adrenalin and it made me feel alive. It was like a powerful drug that I just, like I liked it! I loved it and I wanted more of it.
Collin speaks about his first impression upon landing in Afghanistan and the adrenalin rush it gave him to get the mission started.
Collin Fitzgerald
Mr. Collin Fitzgerald was born in Ottawa March 14, 1979. At the age of 8, Collin's parents encouraged him to join the Cadet Program leading him towards becoming a reservist. At the age of 17 and with the inspiration of World War Two and Korea Veterans, Collin made the decision to transfer over to Regular Force joining the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. He rose to the rank of Master Corporal after his 15 years of military service. In 2000 he attended battle school in Wainwright, Alberta, then posted to Winnipeg. In September of that same year he accepted a deployment to Bosnia. In 2006, Mr. Fitzgerald attached himself to 5 Platoon B Company and deployed to Afghanistan under the regiment, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. Experiencing intense combat during his time in Afghanistan, Mr. Fitzgerald was presented the Sacrifice Medal for his services and courageous acts of duty towards his fellow comrades. Upon discharge from the military, Mr. Fitzgerald suffered with PTSD and with the help of many supporters he was able to reintegrate into civilian life. He presently is highly involved in giving back to the military community and is a strong advocate for Highway of Heroes and many other service related initiatives. Mr. Fitzgerald now resides in Kingston, Ontario.

41 people test positive for Coronavirus after New Orleans swingers convention
(Source: WVUE)
By Nicole Mumphrey | December 1, 2020 at 12:29 PM CST - Updated December 2 at 7:12 AM
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) -At least 41 people who attended a swingers convention in November tested positive for COVID-19, according to the event organizer.
Bob Hannaford, owner of Naughty Events, wrote in a blog post Nov. 27 that "5 people tested positive on Monday."
On Tuesday that number climbed to 14, and by Wednesday positive cases jumped to 29 cases and "by our last count, we have 41 positive tests, out of 300 people."
The 'Naughty in N'awlins' convention typically attracts a few thousand people, but due to the pandemic, only a few hundred attended.
One of the attendees was hospitalized in serious condition after contracting the virus.
"If I could go back in time, I would not produce this event again. Even though most of the 41 positive cases have mostly been asymptomatic or very mild cases. The reason I wouldn't is that I know of two people who had a tougher time and they were suffering. One of them, a good friend of mine, was hospitalized in serious condition," Hannaford said.
READ THE FULL BLOG POST
Hannaford says extraordinary measures were put in place for check-in with required temperature checks, social distancing in line, and sanitizing.
"We issued wristbands in one color to indicate who had antibodies and therefore was not contagious. We issued a second color to those that showed us a very recent negative COVID-19 test. The wristbands even had each person's date of their test circled.
Over 50% of our attendees had the antibodies and many of the rest got tested right before the event. We were feeling better and better about the risk potential as the event was about to kick off.
We required masks in all public places and told them they would have to wear them in elevators and even in our parties and while up on the rooftop pool."
The convention was originally set to take place over the Summer.
"At first, we re-scheduled our event for August and later, because of a July spike, we moved it one more time to November. If we couldn't have an event in November, we would skip this year and hope to make it until our next big event. As November neared, the numbers in New Orleans kept trending down, way down. By mid-October, New Orleans was one of the safest big cities in the US. The restrictions got lighter and lighter, more restaurants and bars reopened."
As of Dec. 1, the positivity rate in New Orleans is just above two percent with more than 15,000 cases of COVID-19.

The Best Concerts in Miami This Week
The Six Best All-Ages Music Venues in Miami
Pearl Jam Remains One of the Few True Rock Gods Alive

Vedder and company have never been better. View more photos from Pearl Jam's show at the American Airlines Arena here.

Pearl Jam fans, young and old, flooded American Airlines Arena on Saturday evening for the band's first stint in the 305 since it played Bayfront Park back in the mid-1990s. But these weren't so much fans as a congregation. And the six men onstage weren't so much rock icons as snake handlers, here to placate the faithful with love and benevolence and pure musical badassery.
PJ had not played the South Florida area in eight years — when the band toured through West Palm Beach's Cruzan Amphitheater in 2008 — so the faithful were thirsty. And the faithful waited. And then the faithful were swept up by the kinetic raw force that is a Pearl Jam performance.
It's been a while, but Miami was once again reminded of a simple truth: A Pearl Jam concert is a sort of religious experience more than just a mere rock show.
Pearl Jam at American Airlines Arena
Pearl Jam Is Doing Its Part to Keep Miami's Ears Safe
How a Drunken Night at Club Deuce Led to a Legendary Jam Session With Eddie Vedder
Guitarist Mike McCready threw up his hands and rained down guitar picks across the waiting throng, like a high priest sprinkling holy water onto the flock. One guy rushed the stage and dove into the crowd. At one point, a man in a wheelchair was brought up onto the stage (more on him later). One fan even had "Christ" written on his face.
Midway through the show, Eddie Vedder pointed out two young men in the front row. And there they were, on the giant video monitors for all to see: one guy's forehead had "Tremor" written on it. The other guy's read "Christ."
"In a place that's famous for spring break," Vedder playfully quipped, "here are two guys that won't be getting laid anytime soon." The crowd roared with laughter, as did our new friends Tremor and Christ. But Vedder appeased the men, scratching whatever song the band had originally planned to do at that point to perform "Tremor Christ," a cut from PJ's third studio album, Vitology.
These two got their wish.
"Little secrets, tremors turn to quake!" Vedder belted into the microphone under azure lighting, the band members pounding out their parts behind his tortured tenor. "The smallest oceans still get big, big waves!" The crowd sang along in unison. The two men went from self-deprecating bemusement to pure joy.
A couple of songs later, the band performed "State of Love and Trust" for a fan carrying a sign that announced he was celebrating his 30th birthday by attending his 50th Pearl Jam show.
This is Pearl Jam live in a nutshell.
PJ never fails to put on the kind of show that leaves you not wanting to listen to music for a couple of days; the kind that keeps resonating in your head, reminding you of specific moments that swept over you like — well, like big, big waves.
And each set list is an event. "Holy shit, they did 'Pilate'!" you'll think to yourself. Another die-hard will remember the band's crunching rendition of "Porch." Still others will remember the band going with a couple of their old radio-friendly hits, like "Jeremy," "Black," and "Alive." But through and through, these shows are a celebration of the community the band has had with its innumerable fans through the decades.
Saturday marked the second performance of Pearl Jam's 2016 tour (the first being the night before at the BB&T Center in Fort Lauderdale). They opened Miami's show with "Corduroy" — ironically a song written by Vedder about how he loathes being chummy with fans who act like they're long-lost friends — and straight into a forceful rendition of "Do the Evolution." Both songs crashed onto the crowd like a fist to the jaw and set the tone for the rest of the band's nearly three-hour, dual-encore show.
And, as ever, Miami's performance was pure concentrated Pearl Jam: emotional, visceral, honest, droll, raw, heartfelt, and political.
It was less a concert and more a religious experience.
Pearl Jam has been putting on emotionally driven shows like this for the past 25 years, and its political views remain as innate, introspective, and emphatic as its love for its fans. During a break between songs, Vedder spoke of what a great venue the American Airlines Arena is and how it's going to be halfway under water in a few years, due to climate change.
"But I hear your governor has it under control," he said sarcastically. "I'll put my faith in him."
Fans loudly booed Gov. Rick Scott as the band went right into "Infallible," a song that features lyrics like, "Pay disasters no mind" and "by thinking we're infallible, we're tempting fate instead."
Legendary for their support of war vets, Vedder at one point also reminded the crowd that Florida has more veterans than any other state and spoke earnestly on how pitifully the government treats them.
"They've failed to reward them for such incredible selflessness," said Vedder.
The band then performed a stellar cover of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb," in honor of Floyd founding member Roger Waters, who does a lot of work with veterans.
Then there was the rarely performed "W.M.A." — an angry, crackling anti-cop/anti-white-establishment anthem written in 1993, yet just as relevant in our current times.
During a quieter, yet no-less-emotional, set — the evening's first encore — a visibly moved Vedder performed a gorgeous rendition of "Just Breathe," which he dedicated to a close friend who recently lost his wife to breast cancer.
The show featured two separate encores.
As for the rest of the boys, the performances were crisp and tight as ever. Stone Gossard remains the understated rhythm guitarist, coolly holding down the fort with his dirty foot-pounding licks. Meanwhile, Jeff Ament and Matt Cameron again proved that they are one of rock's greatest live rhythm sections.
Then there's McCready, who basically puts on his own show on his side of the stage, gyrating his body, doing scissor kicks, pointing to the crowd, coaxing folks out of their seats, and melting down the venue with thundering guitar solos — one of which he did behind his back. McCready is often overshadowed by Vedder's onstage charisma, but when he wails into his riffs, you're reminded of his stunning talent as a lead guitarist. This was especially prevalent during "Even Flow." And his wildness is no less entertaining and jolting than Vedder's. At one point, adding to the frenzy and fervor, McCready jumped off the stage and ran a circle around the floor as arena security surrounded and ran with him to protect him from the adoring crowd reaching out to touch him.
Everyone in Pearl Jam pulls his weight.
Then there was the man in the wheelchair.
Reminiscing about the last time they were in Miami, Vedder shared a vivid memory of a man who impossibly crowd-surfed from the back of the Bayfront Park audience all the way onto the stage while in a wheelchair. The man turned out to be Mark Zupan, the eventual star of Murderball, a 2005 documentary about disabled men who play wheelchair rugby. Vedder then told the American Airlines Arena crowd that he had heard Zupan was in the audience. And then, during the band's closing song, Zupan and a couple of his friends were allowed onto the stage. As he tossed tambourines into the crowd during the band's standard finale — Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" — a pleasantly surprised Vedder spotted Zupan air-drumming along on the stage and threw him a tambourine. The athletic Zupan caught it like a football, the crowd went wild, and Pearl Jam pealed into the rest of the song that crescendoed into a thundering climax in which Vedder smashed his mic stand onto the stage with the violence of a faith healer exorcising the building's demons.
As it is with every Pearl Jam show, the feeling inside the AAA Saturday night was palpable — all at once chaotic, intense, and unflagging.
Pearl Jam's enduring longevity comes, mostly, from its relationship with its longtime devotees. The band's live performances bring fans back to a touchstone moment in their lives. That's why everyone sings every word to each song with so much passion. Some sing with tears, some with fists pumping into the air. But everyone is caught up in the fervor. It's a moveable feast, these shows. Because Pearl Jam is one of the few bands that has a special symbiotic relationship with its fans.
And the Miami congregation was once again blessed to have experienced it full-throttle.

Modern lifestyles and diets are one of the main causes of obesity and severe health issues, due to the constant stress, processed foods, and high salt and sugar intake.
To prevent these symptoms and liver disease, you should avoid the consumption of alcohol and fatty foods, and consume some healthy colon-cleansing foods instead.
These healthy vegetables are loaded with sulfur-containing amino acids that detoxify the liver and take some of its burden off.
Dandelion filters the toxins and waste from the liver and the bloodstream, and significantly improves the function of this organ.
Ginger is one of the most beneficial and versatile foods on the planet, and it boosts metabolism, eliminates waste and toxins, and aid the liver function.
Avocados are incredibly healthy and contain powerful liver protectors and chemicals that prevent and treat liver damage. They stimulate the production of glutathione in the body, and their nutrients act as antioxidants that prevent damage to the liver cells.
Beetroot juice fights inflammation in the liver and protects against liver damage, by increasing the levels of detoxifying enzymes.
Being properly hydrated will help you improve the function of the liver, and boosts its health by helping digestion, supporting weight loss, and thinning the blood.
This spice has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that detoxify the liver and remove dietary carcinogens. It boosts the function of the liver and increases bile flow. Moreover, turmeric effectively prevents the conversion of alcohol and toxins into liver-damaging compounds.
Studies conducted on mice found that apples contain a compound, ursolic acid, which prevents liver disease due to obesity.
The consumption of whole grains has been related to lower risks of issues caused by a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
Lemon juice stimulates the liver, treats alcohol-induced liver damage, and converts toxins into substances that can be absorbed by water.
The consumption of green tea can prevent liver cancer, due to the high content of catechins, plant antioxidants that help the function of the liver.
Grapefruits are rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamin C, and the juice effectively treats and prevents liver damage, boosts the immune system, and repairs the damaged tissues. A glass of grapefruit juice detoxifies the body and eliminates carcinogens from the system.
Leafy greens such as kale, spinach, and arugula, are high in plant chlorophylls, which clean the bloodstream, eliminate heavy metals, pesticide, and toxins.
Asparagus has powerful diuretic properties that support the drainage of the liver, reduce stress, and offer numerous other health benefits.
Cauliflower supports the production of the enzymes that eliminate toxins and carcinogens from the body and the liver.
It restores the alkalinity of the blood, protects the liver and detoxifies the body.
Cruciferous vegetables prevent lover damage and boost the levels of detoxifying enzymes in the body.

"The culprit is really smart, they know how to use a voice-changer. From this recording alone, it is hard to decipher who it is," Lu Che explained. Things like this, he had seen multiple times before. After all, the industry had always been this dark. "Looks like someone that's experienced."
"Contact the media source and instruct them to return the phone call. When they have the culprit on the phone, ask the culprit to repeat what they said earlier. Be careful not to let the culprit figure out what we are trying to do. While the phone call is being made, look around and see who from Tianyi is talking on the phone. Quietly follow them and secure evidence." Mo Ting put away his phone; he had an intense look in his eyes.
"Yes, president," Lu Che replied with a nod as he took composed steps out of the room.
Meanwhile, Mo Ting returned to the hall. His sharp gaze swept across the Han siblings. In reality, he didn't need to test them to already know who the culprit was. The only person capable of doing such a thing was the well-experienced Han Ruoxue. If Han Yufan had the capability of scheming like his sister, he would not merely be where he was today.
Maybe because she noticed a change in Mo Ting's expression, Tangning gazed over questioningly amongst the crowd. Mo Ting contained his anger, picked up his phone and answered with four simple words: "Let's talk at home."
In reality, Mo Ting had underestimated Tangning's sensitivity towards his emotions. After living with Mo Ting for so long, she had gotten a grasp of his temper; he only ever got upset when something concerned her as it was the only time he found it worthy of getting angry over.
Tangning glanced over at the Han siblings; she could vaguely guess what was going on.
Tonight she had been too outstanding and impressive. Even though she knew there was a possibility she would be stabbed in the back, she didn't expect the Han siblings to really have no restraint.
He had wanted to make a move on Han Ruoxue for a long time. He just hadn't found the right reason since everything she did was within Tianyi. Who would have thought, in the end, she'd be brave enough to offend him.
Afterwards, TQ's editor left first; he had an issue to deal with. Han Ruoxue took this opportunity to step in front of Tangning. She looked her straight in the eyes and said, "I've really underestimated you. You managed to make an appearance even though we tried to hold you back."
"However, Tangning, no matter how smart you are, you've still done something you shouldn't have. How dare you take a photo with the CEO of Hai Rui. Did you think you could elevate your value by using him? Let me tell you, you will only make enemies for yourself."
"If that's all, I need to go home and rest," Tangning didn't take anything Han Ruoxue said to heart.
"Do you think you are Mo Ting's woman? He was only playing around with you. How could you think highly of yourself?"
Hearing this, Tangning quickly turned around and glared sharply at Han Ruoxue, "Han Ruoxue, I must bow down to your capability of forever maintaining a jealous heart. Because of you, Tianyi's destruction will be just around the corner."
Han Ruoxue looked at Tangning with ridicule; just the thought of the news that would be exposed tomorrow filled her heart with joy.
rovoking smile. She was waiting to bully her and see how her fate was to unfold. However, things never went her way. And this time...was no different.
"While we're talking, when will you be leaving Tianyi?" Han Yufan b.u.t.ted in as he questioned Tangning seriously, "Star Age has already tried to poach you multiple times, why aren't you leaving? Haven't you sought enough revenge on me?"
"It's because I want to see whether you still have an ounce of humanity left in you..." After speaking, Tangning boarded the sports car Long Jie had driven to pick her up in and left. At this time, Han Ruoxue turned her attention to Mo Yurou as she carefully scrutinized her.
"Why were you so quiet tonight?"
"I wasn't feeling well," Mo Yurou replied; her face was pale. She was cheating with someone while she was pregnant, how could things not go wrong?
"Then hurry home and rest." Han Ruoxue looked at the two and continued, "The awards ceremony will take place soon, don't let anything go wrong between now and then. Don't think of going to the hospital, stay at home and rest."
Of course, she had to rest, otherwise how would she have the energy to watch tomorrow's show unfold?
Late at night. Hyatt Regency.
Tangning and Mo Ting did not drive home together, because after the gala was over, celebrities and reporters were everywhere. In order not to attract any trouble, the two took separate paths home.
As Tangning's route was shorter, she got home first. As soon as Mo Ting walked in through the front door she handed him his home clothes so he could get changed first and be more comfortable. She also prepared some soup for him to sober up; earlier on at the gala he must have drunk a lot.
"What happened today? How come your gaze was so abnormal at the gala..." Tangning gently rubbed Mo Ting's stomach, hoping it would make him feel better.
"What do you think?" Mo Ting pulled her onto the sofa before handing her a recording and a video.
Tangning was confused, but after looking at the two items, her expression became calm as she let out a laugh, "Looks like Han Ruoxue has her methods."
"Too bad she's not applying it to any good," Mo Ting said as he gently stroked Tangning's hair. "You don't need to worry about this matter. Since it involves me, I will not show any mercy..."
Tangning understood what Mo Ting meant. He had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. Since she had made a move first, from now on her destiny no longer belonged to her.
"Since you secured evidence, why are you still upset? I've already been schemed against so many times, did you think I would be affected by another time?"
Mo Ting took a deep breath and placed Tangning's head in his embrace.
"I am upset because my heart breaks for you. Luckily I have the ability to protect you."
Tangning calmly wrapped her arms around Mo Ting's waist as she tried to take in his scent. She then pulled out her phone and showed Mo Ting their photo from the night, "Does this look like a wedding photo?"
"Uh huh, my wife looks beautiful," Mo Ting's gaze softened.
...tomorrow, he would make Han Ruoxue pay back a thousand-fold.

MINSK, 8 February (BelTA) – We hope that the 2nd European Games will become a true feast for every citizen of Belarus, CEO of the Minsk European Games Organizing Committee (MEGOC) George Katulin told the media on 8 February as he attended a ceremony to launch Minsk 2019 official mobile application in the Hi-Tech Park in Minsk, BelTA has learned.
"We are making every effort to make sure the 2nd European Games are a true feast for the whole country, for each and every citizen of Belarus: retired, working, child, fledgling athletes and those thinking of going into sport. I believe that the Torch Relay will rally the nation behind the European Games while a display of fireworks during the opening ceremony will celebrate their quintessence," George Katulin said.

Camp Lawrence J. Hearn was a United States Army facility formerly located in Palm City, San Diego, California. The Third Oregon Infantry established the camp in 1916 during its border service; it was abandoned in 1931 by the 11th Cavalry Regiment when the regiment moved to the Presidio of Monterey.

History
Beginning in 1916, the Third Oregon Infantry established the post during its border service. The United States Army, maintained Camp Lawrence J. Hearn, in honor of Major Hearn of the 21st Infantry Regiment, in response to the Mexican Civil War, and was manned by the 1st Cavalry Regiment. It was abandoned in August 1920, but re-established by the 11th Cavalry Regiment in October of that same year. Brigadier General F.C. Marshall visited the post just before he died in a plane crash, traveling to Tucson, Arizona. Until 1921, the post had no structures, and consisted of a tent cantonment; soldiers requiring medical care would be sent to Fort Rosecrans for treatment. However, conditions on the post did not improve significantly, and was described by Army Chief of Staff Major General Summerall as being like a "logging camp", composed of "tumbledown shacks". In 1924, cavalrymen from the post assisted local officers, and federal agents in enforcing a 9 pm curfew at the international border crossing. It continued to be in use until it was abandoned in 1931. Later the former post was considered by the Coastal Artillery Corps for the site of a battery, however this was never built.

Earlier this year Xiaomi launched the Black Shark gaming phone which appeared to be the company's response to the Razer Phone that was launched last year. Now it looks like the company could be gearing up for a successor because in a poster allegedly shared on its website, the handset could be announced on the 23rd of October.
This would be very interesting as smartphone models are usually announced once a year, so for Xiaomi to launch the Black Shark and Black Shark 2 within the same year is an interesting strategy, although we're not sure if this is a rushed job. At this point in time little is known about the Black Shark 2 in terms of hardware, but presumably it should share specs similar to flagship phones of 2018.
Like we said, this will be interesting as the Black Shark features a Snapdragon 845 chipset, and presumably its successor should use the same chipset as well, which means that we're not sure how different the Black Shark 2 could be. We were a little disappointed by the screen resolution of the Black Shark which was only Full HD, so maybe its successor will bump it to QHD or higher.
In the meantime Razer is still leading the market as far as gaming smartphones are concerned. They recently launched the Razer Phone 2 which continues to employ a 120Hz refresh rate for its display, which at the moment still makes them the only smartphone company to use such a display for smartphones.

Q: Polymer-elements not visible after creation I had to switch to the newest version of Polymer a few days ago (from version 0.0.20131010).
So I guess the following problem is caused by the incompability between these two versions.
After the page has loaded, all the elements that are contained inside another element are set as visibility: hidden; when I inspect them in the browser.
The outermost elements are visible, but do not have the correct position. They don't float on right edge, as they should.

A: It seems that it wasn't a Polymer problem.
It didn't float on the right edge, because I did a rotation of this element and
had
 transform-ogigin: 0 0;

added to its CSS. Deleting this line solved the problem.
The content didn't show, because I set all the elements inside to hidden on creation and the function to make one element visible wasn't called initially.
Somehow all these problems didn't occur before the version switch.
