we have a ISIS 5000-32TB System Director conneted to 2x ISIS 5000 Expension engines (2x32TB) - total of three engines.
The system director and the 1st expension engine are on the same storage group, and the 2nd expension engine is on a sepearte storage group.
1. add a 4th expesion engine as a seperate storage group.
3. configure the system director as a seperate storage group.
Now, i know that in order to remove the 1st expsnsion engine, i must delete all data from the both members on that storage group (the system director and the expesnion engine).
But, if i delete all data from that storage group, will the 2nd expnsion engine (seperate storage group) will still be avalible?
after deleting the storage group and before reconfigure the system director as a seperate storage group, there will be no issues if the system director itslef is not configured as a storage group, but only the expnesion engine is configured as storage group?
Can someone help with a step by step guide for that?
What's the hardware issue with the system director engine? Why aren't you able to replace the system director with the new 4th engine without loosing the metadata and media?
The hardware issue is not with the system director engine.
the hardware issue is with the the 1st expension engine, that it is part of the same storage group as the system director.
After complete shutdown, the 1st expension engine won't power on.
everthing is working ok while it is on, when when turned off, it takes around 20 min to get it back on.
removing the PSU's, pressing the ON button over and over, and it the end it poweres on.
this is a situation which we want to avoid.
we want to remove that engine from the set, and make some hardware tests when after it is removed.
so we want to add another engine that we have in hand, move all media that is currently on the first storage group (which is a storage group that conatin both the system director and the 1st expension engine) to the 2nd and 3rd engines that each one if them is a diffrent storage group,delete the first storage group, remove the problematic engine, and reconfigure the system director as its own storage group, so in the end we will have 3 chasis (system director+ 2x expension engines) that each ine if them is a seperate storage group.
Ah Ok. If you do not need the extra performance of the 1st and 2nd engine being part of the same storage group sure you can do that.
So after you again manage the 1st expansion engine to power up and add the 4th expansion engine. Then with a client you copy over all media from the workspaces in storage group 1 into workspaces of storage group 3 assuming the media of the first 2 engines fits on the 4th engine.
After the copy is complete you delete all media that is in storage group 1. Then you just remove the 1st expansion engine storage element from storage group 1. I expect this will trigger a redistribute in storage group 1 but if you deleted everything that shouldn't take too long.
Then you just remove 1st expansion engine and start playing with it on a desk if it is not under support. If it is under support I would just remove the drives and request an RMA with Avid.
An issue has been detected with the temperature sensor in some ISIS 5000/5500 and airspeed 5000/5500 units. http://avid.force.com/pkb/articles/en_US/Troubleshooting/ISIS-5000-5500-unexpected-power-off-during-operation-or-start-up. This could be related to what you are having. We have had the exact same symptoms with an airspeed 5000 not starting up but the reseat of the sensor only temporarily fixed it in our case.
2. regarding the engine remove, so there is no need to delete the storage group and to unbind? all i need to do is delete all media and workspaces from that storage group, and remove the storage element? all the workspaces and media on storage group #2 and #3 will contine to be availble during that time, correct?
Yes that is correct. In theory if the amount of media is less than 22-24TB in case of 2x 32TB chassis you should just need to remove the second storage element and it would trigger a redistribute. Haven't done this on an isis 5500 system yet but very often on isis 7500. As I haven't tried it on isis 5500 I would follow the method you mentioned of moving the media to a new chassis and storage group.
1. regarding the KB, seems like this is the issue. did you notice the excat same thing as we see?
Yes, we had an airspeed that would not power up after a windows shutdown. We had to RMA the unit. If your isis 5500 is not under support it might be worth trying to just replace the temp sensor and see if it fixes the issue. I give it a 10-25% chance.


To my thanks, I have been receiving emails occasionally from various readers in Japan and from overseas. I am going to post some of those communications suitable for open discussions, in the present page. There are comunications in the Japanese pages also, though not shown in this English page.
Sept. 13, 2016 Shahid Saleem Arshad (Australia) On "Do we have any methodology of Creative Research in academia?"
Hi Toru, Hope all is well. Thanks for your newsletter.
I had a good presentation on how to prove triz with BIG Patent Data in the German TRIZ conference.
Dear Professor Toru Nahagawa, I met you at the Triz Future 2015 conference in Berlin. I am also an interested student and trainer in USIT.
Do you know if there are any International USIT certification standards or syllabus?
Do you have a working contact email address of Professor Ed Sickafus or any website and contact details of ntellect? If so could you copy these to me - I am trying to contact Prof. Ed. Sickafus.
I have enjoyed you commentary and works and wonder if you will be going to TRIZ Future Conference 2016?
Dear Wayne Mallinson, Thank you for your message and your interest in USIT.
(1) Dr. Ed Sickafus: **** [Not shown here.] He seem to have joined LinkedIn very recently.
(2) No international certification of USIT.
(3) My works of 'USIT Manual' and 'USIT Case Studies' and many other related articles posted in my Web site are the standards of USIT as a method of structured problem solving. Dr. Sickafus has moved on to much intuitive and heuristic method.
(4) I'll be coming to TFC2016 at Wroclaw. Could you please use plain emails instead of LinkedIn messages?
Hello Toru, Thank you for information.
In honor of the 90th anniversary of Genrich Altshuller I sell all my TRIZ books at the lowest price, which allows Amazon. Please place your review of this book on the Amazon site above.
Growth Hacking for Breakthrough and Inventors. 5-Step Method for Breakthrough. 2015.
Fundamentos De La Teoria Para La Solución De Los Problemas Inventivos (TRIZ) (Spanish Edition) Kindle Edition .
I would be happy if my books were helpful to you, your colleagues and customers.
Dear Prof. Nakagawa, I trust you and your family are in excellent health.
I noticed that a rather long gap has appeared in my communication with you and I would like to send this message as a brief precursor.
This is an extremely important subject which I am glad the prominent professor has raised. He further states that "Thus the methodologies like TRIZ and CrePS seem to have very little relevance/significance with the methods for promoting academic researches."
I will get back to you with my own thoughts fairly soon.
Dear Shahid, Thank you for your message.
Yes, the issue raised by A Professor is very important for the academia and for the TRIZ community.
I am very much looking forward to your discussion. You always respond to my articles at the points of the most significance.
Dear Professor Toru Nakagawa; I hope this e-mail finds you well.
I would like to thank you for these updated information related to TRIZ especially in poverty.

Q: CSS Menu problems: Submenu appears active when parent menu item is active (current) page I am soooo confused!  Here is the site I'm developing: Cancer Support site
I seem to have two problems... that I have spent hours and hours trying to figure out the solution.. so I really hope someone can help.
Problem 1:  I use an ID=navactive to keep the parent menu item active if it is the current page being diplayed.  That works.  However, the way I have coded the CSS, it has introduced an error by making the submenu items appear active when they first appear upon mousever of an ID=navactive parent.  Instead the submenu items should initially appear as inactive until they are actually moused over.  On the site, you can see that the "Home" page is the active page on the parent menu.  If you mouse over it, the two children submenus appear.. but they show up active.  They should appear as inactive - the same way as the submenus do when you mouse over the "Our Work" parent menu item.
Problem 2:  None of my grandchildren submenu items appear at all..  Under both the "Home" and "Our Work" parent menu items I have the following configuration:
Top level menu (parent)
    Submenu 1 (child 1)
        Submenu 2 (grandchild 1)
    Submenu 3 (child 2)

Instead it appears on the page like this where the grandchild 1 becomes the child 2, and no grandchildren are viewable (and the original child 2 [submenu 3] is missing):
Top level menu (parent)
    Submenu 1 (child 1)
    Submenu 2 (child 2)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks!

A: The reason you are getting this problem is due to your CSS and the way you have structured your HTML code. Here is your problem -
.main_menu ul > li:hover > a, #navactive a:link, #navactive a:visited, #navactive > ul > li > a:hover
{
 STYLES
}

Simply change the "#navactive a:link" part of your CSS code above to a seperate class that handles the active link. Currently any link within the "navactive" div will inherit the styles given in this class, and this is why the sub menu text is appearing yellow and not white. So like I said change the above CSS code to a separate class, eg - "#navactive .current"
and then change your HTML code to look like this:

Home

That should do the trick! Obviously I haven't been able to test it, but let me know if you have any problems. Also just a tip - using the Chrome 'Inspect Element' function is really useful when faced with these kind of problems!

A: Problem 1
in the css:
.main_menu ul > li:hover > a, #navactive a:link, #navactive a:visited, #navactive > ul > li > a:hover

you should put a > in #navactive a:visited, and #navactive a: link so it looks like this:
.main_menu ul > li:hover > a, #navactive > a:link, #navactive > a:visited, #navactive > ul > li > a:hover

the ">" means you direct only the child element

MADISON, Wis. (September 13, 2016) - The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) Board of Directors today passed a resolution stating CUNA's commitment to protecting credit unions' interests by rejecting the lawsuit recently filed by the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) against the NCUA and its member business lending rule.
Specifically, the CUNA board passed a resolution to support the NCUA's MBL final rule, as well as the agency's proposed field-of-membership rule. The board also authorized CUNA to take whatever supportive actions are necessary to challenge the ICBA's lawsuit.
CUNA worked closely with the agency to ensure its waiver of the personal guarantee requirement, which became effective in May.

Q: In Oracle, how to loop round all_tables joining using table_name I have a bunch of tables which each have a LOADED_TIMESTAMP column. I want to use ALL_TABLE.TABLE_NAME to get the MAX(LOADED_TIMESTAMP) from all 'F_' tables, so that the query result is e.g.
tablename1   2018-05-10 17:33

tablename2   2018-05-04 00:13

tablename3   2018-03-23 08:44
...

I want to use ALL_TABLES to do this so that if any new tables get added, they will automatically be included.
I plan to use this to write the results to a table daily, so I have a history of when each table was loaded each day
I've googled / searched Stack Overflow but am just getting errors (or 'PL/SQL procedure successfully completed' but no results!) when I try executing the code in SQL Developer...
Starting to go round in circles; Any help would be much appreciated.
Here's the SQL I've got at the moment.
DECLARE
  my_sql VARCHAR(1000);
BEGIN
  FOR t IN
  (
         SELECT t.table_name,
                t.owner
         FROM   all_tables t
         WHERE  owner = 'ME'
         AND    Substr(t.table_name,1,2) IN ('A_',
                                             'F_' ,
                                             'P_') )
  LOOP
    my_sql := 'select max(dw_loaded_timestamp) as last_loaded from '
    || t.owner
    || '.'
    || t.table_name ;
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE my_sql;
  END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
  dbms_output.Put_line('ERROR!! -- '
  || SQLCODE
  || '-- '
  || SQLERRM
  || ' --' );
END;
/

A: If we can assume this is a one time thing...  We can use SQL to write SQL and then execute the result set after a quick removal of the last union all..
SELECT 'SELECT max(LOADED_TIMESTAMP) as maxLoadedTimeStamp, '
       || chr(39) || TABLE_NAME || chr(39) || ' as srcTable '
       || 'FROM '|| table_Name || ' UNION ALL '
FROM all_tables
WHERE owner = 'yourSchemaOwner'
  and table_Name like 'F/_%';

Then copy/paste the results and remove the last UNION ALL from the last statement and execute it.  In the above the / before the _ is to escape it; otherwise it's just "any character" when I presume you mean tables are named 'F_XXXX'
YourschmeaOwner is just so we limit the query your your schema.
Giving us something like...
SELECT max(LOADED_TIMESTAMP) as maxLoadedTimeStamp, 'F_xxx0' as srcTable FROM F_xxx0 UNION ALL
SELECT max(LOADED_TIMESTAMP) as maxLoadedTimeStamp, 'F_xxx1' as srcTable FROM F_xxx1 UNION ALL
SELECT max(LOADED_TIMESTAMP) as maxLoadedTimeStamp, 'F_xxx2' as srcTable FROM F_xxx2

and then your results would be:
F_xxx1 2018-05-10 17:33
F_xxx2 2018-05-04 00:13
F_xxx3 2018-03-23 08:44 ...

If not; do the above via Dynamic SQL and execute it in a procedure.

Clinical Studies/Trials
4 Minute Renal Denervation with Freshly CE Marked Next Generation EnligHTN™ System
St. Jude Medical, Inc., has gained CE Mark approval of its next-generation EnligHTN™ Renal Denervation System for treating patients with drug-resistant, uncontrolled hypertension. The company promises a time reduction from 24 minutes using its first device, to just 4 minutes.
St.Jude Medical's EnligHTN device is probably well known to our readers by now, being a basket of electrodes that each come into contact with the wall of the renal artery and deliver radiofrequency energy at a level designed to zap the functionality of the sympathic nerves lying alongside the vessels.
The new system looks the same, but compared with the original, features an advanced generator that delivers simultaneous ablations, reducing total ablation time by more than 80 percent in comparison to the first generation system. Blood pressure reduction is quickly achieved by simultaneously administering 60 second ablations from all four catheter electrodes, which is typically performed two times in each renal artery. The advanced generator also has an icon-based touch screen interface that allows physicians to easily view and record procedure information.
The next-generation EnligHTN system is currently being evaluated in the EnligHTN III study, an international, non-randomized clinical trial that will enroll up to 50 patients in Australia and New Zealand. This study expands on EnligHTN I trial research of the first generation EnligHTN system, which demonstrated that patients with drug-resistant hypertension had a safe, rapid and sustained drop in blood pressure. After thirty days, systolic blood pressure was reduced by an average of 28 mmHg (millimeters of mercury) that remained stable with a reduction of 27 mmHg points one year after treatment.
St.Jude says the EnligHTN system will be on display during the forthcoming 2013 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) meeting from August 31 to September 3.
"The new EnligHTN system improves the procedure by significantly reducing ablation time and providing optimized ablation monitoring feedback," said Thomas Lüscher, professor and chairman of Cardiology, at the Cardiovascular Center at the University Hospital in Zurich and editor in chief of the European Heart Journal. "Renal denervation is a relatively simple, minimally-invasive procedure that is emerging as an important new avenue for managing hypertensive patients who do not respond to medications."
Company comments
"The next generation EnligHTN system offers physicians our proven multi-electrode catheter with a new intuitive, faster generator that quickly and effectively delivers consistent ablations with a significant reduction in procedure time," said Frank J. Callaghan, president of the St. Jude Medical Cardiovascular and Ablation Technologies Division. "These advancements deliver on our strategy to bring new innovations to a developing market to provide options for patients who currently do not have an adequate treatment for their uncontrolled drug-resistant hypertension."

CentraCare has been serving older adults in Calhoun County since 2009. The program is located at the Burnham Brook Community Center in Battle Creek, and its mission is to help Calhoun County residents 55 years of age and older remain in their homes, apartments, or other community setting of choice as they age.
The CentraCare program, also known as PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly), is a nationally recognized model of care with five Centers in Michigan at this time, with several more in progress. CentraCare provides care for older adults receiving Medicare and/or Medicaid benefits who can be maintained safely in their place of residence with support from our services.
All services are provided free of charge to Medicare and Medicaid beneficiaries. CentraCare provides team-based comprehensive medical management and coordinated care through a medical clinic and day program at our center. High quality transportation is provided by LifeCare Ambulance Service for participants to come to and from the day center. While at the CentraCare Day Health Center, the participant is able to receive medical visits with physicians/nursing care, meals, activities, rehabilitation therapy when needed, and mental health services. Also, if necessary, CentraCare can provide transportation for medical specialty service appointments. Our staff includes physicians, physician assistants, nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, dieticians, pharmacists physical, occupational and recreational therapists, and more.
Our intake specialist can help people apply for Medicaid when needed. The income levels to qualify for Medicaid for this program are higher than some of the other programs in the community, so even if someone has been denied Medicaid in the past, they may qualify for this program. Once someone is enrolled at CentraCare the program assumes full financial responsibility for medications, medical supplies, diabetic supplies and all other healthcare expenses.
Our approach to senior healthcare is holistic and promotes wellness and preventive care that addresses the older adult's physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs.

Walter von Trauchburg was abbot of the abbey of Saint Gall from 1239 until 1244. He is descended from an Allgäu noble family. His mother was a born as a von Güttingen.

Activities
Walter of Trauchburg was decanus operis when he won the abbot's election against his rival Heinrich von Eichheim in 1239. However, the election sparked controversy which was spread even to Rome. Pope Gregory IX eventually called upon the bishop of Como to investigate the election. Thanks in large part to the support from Heinrich von Tanne of Constance, he was confirmed as abbot. In return, Walter of Trauchburg handed important papal and episcopal documents, which regulated the relationship between Saint Gall and Constance, over to the bishop of Constance.

Abbot Walter was a supporter of the house of Hohenstaufen. His brother Berthold was court judge for King Conrad IV. Walter offered military assistance to Conrad for his fight against the papacy and the archbishop of Mainz, for which an anathema was issued against him. The monastery's economy suffered under Abbot Walter's reign. He and the provost attempted to better the situation in 1244 by investing 50 marks from their yearly incomes in order to buy new goods or release pledged ones. In the autumn of the same year, the military conflicts between the city of Wil and the counts of Toggenburg broke out again. Abbot Walter of Trauchburg was overwhelmed with the situation and abdicated his position on 25 November 1244. He relocated to the Dominican monastery in Constance.

FCA changed my life in college at the University of Wyoming. FCA grew me in my faith and FCA trained me to go make disciples. I have seen FCA impact thousands of lives since 2010 when I came on staff. In 2017, God called me to California from Colorado to serve as the County Director for the Inland Empire.
My heart is to see thousands of coaches and athletes impacted for Christ. In order to see this accomplished we need more staff.
Staff train leaders to go make disciples of Jesus Christ. We need staff so we can minister to and through coaches and athletes to see our communities transformed into the image of God. This effort glorifies God, and nothing brings me more joy than glorifying my Father in Heaven. Another area that brings God glory is loving my wife and loving my kids. Here's a little bit about them.
My wife and i have been married for over 11 years and we have 3 children. They are amazing kids! They are starting full time school and in 2017 they started to experience FCA through summer Power Camps. God is so good and we look forward to serving him here in California, our HOME STATE.
Phils Sabordo has been on staff with FCA since 2012. He grew up in SW Riverside County and went to high school at Temescal Canyon in Lake Elsinore. He then went to college at UCLA where the Lord deepened his walk and relationship with Jesus. With aspirations to become a lawyer, God had opened the door and an opportunity to become a part of the FCA ministry. He currently resides in Temecula and serves 12 campus ministries throughout SW Riverside. He has a beautiful wife, Isabella and a handsome young boy, Noah James. Phils has a compassionate heart to reach the lost, broken, and unsaved in SW Riverside and is blessed to be a part of a ministry whose vision is about impacting lives and hearts for Jesus Christ. Phils has a heart to serve, mobilize, and equip young leaders to be effective servants on their campuses and community for Christ. His hope is to see SW Riverside impacted for Christ where lives are saved, revived, and purposed through a newfound relationship with our Lord, Jesus Christ.
My vision for FCA is to point athletes and coaches toward their ultimate coach, Jesus Christ. I desire to be a presence on middle and high school campuses to empower and equip athletes as leaders to impact their teams. Growing up, soccer was a major part of my life whether that was training, practicing, or competing. It became priority one, pushing Jesus to the side. Once I started attending California Baptist University and no longer had soccer in my life, I wanted to understand what it meant to have a real relationship with the Lord. I desire students to recognize that their identity is deeper than the sports that they play. I have a heart for students and pushing them toward discipleship. My goal with FCA is to create an environment for coaches and athletes to learn how to live missional for the Gospel and be real with themselves, God, and others.
I can't wait to partner with you to see what we can do on these various campuses in the Inland Empire! Thank you for joining my team! I am excited to see how the Lord is going to move through coaches and athletes.
I have been involved with FCA since my sophomore year of high school in 2012. By my senior year, God gave me the opportunity to serve Him by taking ownership of the club as a student club president. Since then, God has stirred a fire in my heart to come alongside coaches and athletes from my experience with FCA. I enjoy the special relationships God has blessed me with in ministry.
I grew up in Temecula where I played Varsity Football for Great Oak High School class of 2015. I also played basketball, wrestling and track and field. Sports has a special place in my heart which led me to coach football in the Fall of 2017.
I love and cherish my parents Jun and Rina Chua, my older brother Arhon and my little brother (favorite) Adridge.
I have been a volunteer in FCA for four years and just recently came on staff on 2017. I serve in the Temecula and Murrieta areas in four public high schools consisting of 200 students.
My goal is to see young souls in my hometown won by the power of the Gospel!


Repair works on the retaining wall at Shy Road commenced yesterday, Tuesday 14 August 2018, with the Roads Section installing additional safety measures directly below the affected area and demolishing the affected part of the retaining wall.
The extent of the repairs is greater than what was originally anticipated and it is estimated that Shy Road will remain closed for the next two weeks to allow the full works to be completed.
Due to loose material also being temporarily stored on the Road and, for safety reasons, the Road will be closed to pedestrians and vehicles until it has been deemed safe to use.
The Roads Section has received some concerned phone calls but would like to reassure everyone that works are being carried out in a controlled manner.
The public is thanked for their co-operation and will be kept updated.

Who would not like a cup of morning coffee or a glass of good wine? In ancient China, these non-standard beverages belonged to delicacies that are not a matter of everyday life, but the beverages indulged in during festive and social occasions. Otherwise, they become a regular part of the day. They are, in a sense, true delicacies, something that we call " the icing on the cake", and as such, they should always be rare, otherwise they lose their charm and distinction. Besides, the greatest delight is always the idea and the enjoyment of something exclusive, because as soon as we have eaten or drunk it … the spell fades away. In this case, the Czech saying is correct: Everything in moderation and good things come in small packages!
It strengthens (for a short period of time) the heart qi energy XIN QI– it is a stimulant, but a short-time one, which, as they say, easy comes and easy goes, and, worst of all – takes energy away… It can be compared to gasoline that is splashed onto the dying fire instead of stoking dry wood. Therefore, students preparing for a test or intellectually working people often drink coffee every 2-3 hours under pressure. This is always at the expense of their kidney essence SHEN JING, that means at the expense of their root of life. In the heart XIN there is the so-called imperial fire, and in the kidneys SHEN there is the so-called ministerial fire. Both fires interact and complement each other and, in the case of a powerful burning fire in the heart XIN HUO, the fire is fired up in the kidneys SHEN XIN and vice versa. Therefore, it always depends on how strong the root of life in the kidneys the person has and how long they will endure all these "attacks", because such a repeated pouring of gasoline on the weak fire can cause (literally) a known and frequent burnout… These people, rather than being full of energy for a long time after having a cup of coffee, that energizes them for a while, have withdrawal symptoms such as inability to concentrate and think, irritability, insomnia, restlessness, forgetfulness, anxiety, heartbeat etc., like with any other drug. However, this is already some kind of dependence (to the aroma or taste) and also a kind of weakness (weakening of the SHEN JING kidney essence). It is possible to resist such an addiction (as in the case of those unrequited-in-love), and in both cases herbal tablets Elixir of heavenly emperor – code 121 can be used to help.
Increases heat in the stomach WEI RE– because coffee is warm and dry in nature, and roasted in addition, it brings the so-called heat and dryness to the stomach WEI RE/ZAO. Stomach WEI needs enough YIN fluids for its successful function, which, like engine oil, help to digest properly. If they dry out, and in case of heat in the stomach WEI RE, illnesses may occur, such as ulcerative disease, chronic inflammation of the stomach and intestines, constipation, etc.
It supports stagnation of liver qi energy GAN QI ZHI– precisely because of the aforementioned heat RE, which dries and gradually slows the flow of qi energy, which leads to the subsequent stagnation qi energy QI ZHI. This is manifested by, for example, heart diseases (hypertension, heart attack, angina pectoris), headaches, thyroid diseases, psychosomatic diseases, etc.
In women, it damages the conception pathways CHONG MAI – through a mechanism similar to previous qi energy stagnation QI ZHI, this is particularly evident in women's imbalances and stagnation in the conceptual pathways CHONG MAI. Today, these problems appear in practice very often and manifest themselves at the level of the uterus and the ovaries as, for example, myomas, polyps, cysts, endometriosis, functional sterility, gynaecological effusions and inflammations and any menstrual problems (spotting, painful or irregular menses, etc.). Or they often manifest themselves in the breasts in the form of different cysts, fibromas, mastopathies, tumours (malignant and non-malignant), breast pain and premenstrual syndrome.
It weakens (in the long term) the kidney Yang SHEN YANG – in case of long-term consuming, the undesired burnout described in point 1 will occur. Just the overheated engine that we constantly "revved up" without adding oil to it and adjusting nozzles burned out the last oil residue and our engine got stuck … This condition is manifested by, for example, psychological problems (depression, neurosis, insomnia, etc.).
It strengthens the lung water FEI SHUI and supports digestion– by draining water from the FEI SHUI lung tract, supporting urination and thus is very diuretic, which in some cases can be beneficial (for example, in case of swelling in the upper burner or stagnant water in the lungs, etc.). It also brings heat RE to the stomach, where it can again positively accelerate digestion of food in the case of the so-called cold and moisture in the stomach WEI HAN/SHI. However, in obese patients, it is not a burner of fat caused by moisture and heat SHI/RE!
Black coffee should be an occasional delicacy that healthy people can have 1 cup a day, and sick people even in smaller amounts, depending on the nature of the disease, or even exclude it (see above)! It can be successfully (and especially safely) replaced, for example, by the Beverage of five stars – code 850. This drink is made of Gynostemma pentaphyllum, which is a herb ranging between stimulants and adaptogens – it harmonizes the organism without over-stimulation or exhaustion, for example, it increases low pressure and, vice versa, reduces high pressure. It is suitable for daily detoxification because it purifies the tubes, harmonizes digestion and stimulates the brain.
WHAT about CEREAL COFFEES, are they SUITABLE?
Under this concept, there are a number of so-called white coffees such as spelt coffee, rye coffee, chicory coffee (carro, cikorka), Ayurvedic coffee, etc. These cereal coffees generally heat the middle fireplace ZHONG JIAO (the spleen PI and the stomach WEI path), remove harmful moisture SHI (dry up), heat the heart XIN and spleen PI, but never excessively (unlike black coffee!) because they are not stimulants. It is recommended to consume in the decrease of spleen PI qi energy QI XU XIAN, deficiency of the heart qi energy XIN QI XU, insufficient kidneys yang SHEN YANG XU, excessive moisture SHI in the organism – in this case without milk and sugar. It can be consumed with cinnamon or cardamom. Cereal coffees in general should not be used in the yin deficiency YIN XU, rising kidney heat GAN RE/GAN YANG SHI and stagnant liver qi GAN QI ZHI.
As the most ideal breakfast, however, it appears to be the Beverage of Chinese savages (code 900), which is made of the Job's tears forage (not cereal!) and has the exceptional property and advantage of enhancing both kidney energy SHEN QI and spleen energy PI QI and at one blow simultaneously eliminates harmful moisture SHI from the body. This is the optimal drink for breakfast for most of our population.
Beer is made of barley malt, and thus strengthens the energy of the spleen PI QI and eliminates moisture, while also cooling the heat RE, thanks to the hops that are bitter. This bitter taste in the first stage cools and calms the liver and gallbladder heat GAN/DAN RE. But if you drink too much beer, the next day, due to the alcohol transformation, it turns into harmful heat RE and harmful moisture SHI in the middle fireplace ZHONG JIA (stomach, spleen), which is the familiar hangover. These consequences may be eliminated by means of, for example, herbal tablets Supporting of central empire (code 079), which can be used even before "action" to alleviate the toxic effects of alcohol.
White wine is cooler and more diuretic than red wine, so it does not heat up so much. However, preservative additives such as sulphur dioxide and various other chemicals used in its cultivation, warm up. Therefore, it is always advisable to choose so-called healthy wines (biodynamic or organic wine – for example www.nikolaihof.at).
Red wine warms up and in case it is prepared as mulled wine with cloves and cinnamon it even has very hot effects on our body. This effect is successfully used by Chinese medicine in case of attack of external cold in the first stage of cold.
According to TCM cigarettes or cigars smoking damages not only the lungs FEI, but also the kidneys SHEN – it dries the essence JING and blood XUE and thus leads to subsequent weakening of the kidney yin SHEN YIN XU.

SparkLabKC Inaugural Class A Success; Next Class To Begin In January
Steve Roatch
Kansas City News, Startups
By Steve Roatch, CEO of Twentyseven Global
SparkLabKC's inaugural class was a huge success with members securing almost $2 million in seed funding. Now, the Kansas City startup accelerator is getting ready to launch its second class in January.
According to Kevin Fryer, managing director for SparkLabKC, its inaugural class was a great success, with Knoda recently announcing its seed round, and Briefcase, FormZapper and FanAddict having secured more than $1.8 million in combined seed funding.
"Any time we can get four or five to get a seed round within 60 days of completing the program, that's huge," Fryer told startup news outlet Silicon Prairie News. "Now we're looking for the next batch of Kansas City's 10 best."
The 10 startups will be selected this month. Beginning Jan. 13, 2014, they will go to work in a "90-day intense, in-residence, mentor-driven program that provides up to $18,000 in seed capital and business advisory services," said the website.
The program culminates in a Demo Day on April 11, 2014, where the startups will present in front of hundreds of investors from across the Midwest.

I've modified the standard enclosure view to use a DSClickableURLTextField to present the enclosure as a clickable link.
DSClickableURLTextField's license is "May be used freely, but keep my name/copyright in the header." Is this OK for inclusion in Vienna?
While the link is clickable, it is not draggable and right-clicking it does not produce a menu. Should I submit the Vienna patch as it is, then make the necessary changes upstream, wait for them to be accepted there, and submit a second Vienna patch; or make the necessary changes upstream now, then submit only one patch to Vienna?
Thanks for your contribution! The easiest way is probably to send the patch now to the Vienna Patches mailing list. Please CC: it to michael@stroeck.com, as I've had problems with GMails spam-filter and SourceForge lists recently. - I'll have a look at it and then we discuss how to go along with this!
Peter, if you'd like to do continuing work on Vienna, we can talk about commit privileges. I think you can be trusted. Want to be the king of all mac open source?
On a different topic, since you're a Cocoaforge admin, could you please look at some weird RSS feed behavior?
jeff_johnson_dev wrote: Peter, if you'd like to do continuing work on Vienna, we can talk about commit privileges. I think you can be trusted. Want to be the king of all mac open source?
I don't think I'll do continuing work, for lack of time.
Now it's only your reply. It looks like the feed shows only the last post from each thread. This may be by design—good for new subscribers to catch up on more most-recent threads at once (and for a single busy thread to not clog up the feed).
That's… weird. There's nothing special about this thread that I can see—it's not global. The only factor I can think of is that it's because I'm an admin—but why should that matter?
I'll show this thread to Zac.
I've since gotten right-clicking working (without modifying DSClickableURLTextField), but otherwise, both questions stand.
By the way, hopefully you're working from the 2.4 branch. That's what we're working from nowadays.
"rebase" implies you're using git-svn, yeah?
I have some work on master to support synchronization among multiple computers (master is a modified version of 2.3/trunk), and a clean copy of 2.4 as "upstream"
dcrosta wrote: "rebase" implies you're using git-svn, yeah?
It doesn't help me, but it may help somebody, so thanks nonetheless.
This fix is now in Vienna Sneak Peek (Version 2.5.0.2500.1503). I'll upload copies shortly.

Most artists often overlook it because they are too ecstatic of the fact that they are about to make some money. However, the term exclusivity mostly refers to a condition that ensures that the artist cannot create or sell reproductions of the work that he or she has done. Which simply means that if you have just painted something for a client under the contract, once you get paid, you are basically transferring the ownership of that painting to the client, and no matter what you do, you cannot sell or recreate the same painting you just sold.
Well, the thing is that the contracts that you sign follow a certain wording that can tell a lot of things. If the wording talks about how you are transferring the copyrights to the client, it simply means that you are signing the exclusivity part of the deal. Additionally, exclusivity can also be worded like stating that you are not allowed to sell any prints, or reproduce the same artwork.
If you are not sure about what the wording means or indicates, simply talk to the client, or better yet higher legal advice.
Should You Go For Exclusivity?
This is something that is entirely on you. Just keep in mind that if selling prints helps your business in generating any sort of income, you should keep in mind that signing the deal will rid you of that income source. You can compensate for that by increasing the price of the artwork that you are selling and see if the client agrees.
Can I Refuse The Exclusivity Request?
Well, of course, you can. As long as you have not signed the contract, the artwork belongs to you. However, there are certain situations under which you should simply refuse to sign the exclusivity contract.
If you are simply not okay with signing away any rights to the artwork that you have just created. This is because you can still profit from the artwork in the form of prints, and by signing the contract, you are giving away your rights.
In another situation, if you think that the money that the client is offering you is not enough based on the artwork that you have created, you can refuse to sign the contract. However, in a situation like that, if you are okay with letting go of the rights, but you want to be given more money just because you think that the artwork is worth more, then you do have the right to ask for more money.
Once you go through these, you will actually start understanding how the exclusivity section in the artist contracts works. Do not worry if you are overwhelmed at first, as many people are. Giving away rights is not always bad either.


Have you ever felt chills down your spine while listening to music? According to a study by Nusbaum and Silvia (2010), over 90% of us have. How powerful the effects of music, though, depends on your personality. People who are high in one of the five personality dimensions called 'openness to experience', are likely to feel the most chills while listening to music (Nusbaum and Silvia, "Shivers and Timbres Personality and the Experience of Chills From Music," Social Psychology & Personality Science, 2010).
A Stanford study shows that music engages areas of the brain which are involved with paying attention, making predictions and updating events in our memory (Baker, Mitzi. "Music moves brain to pay attention, Stanford study finds." Stanford Medicine. Accessed February 24, 2015).
Much like expert technical skills, mastery in arts and humanities is closely correlated to a greater understanding of language components (Trei, Lisa. "Musical training helps language processing, studies show." Stanford News. Accessed February 24, 2015).
Musicians are found to have superior working memory compared to non-musicians (Berti, et al., 2006; Pallesen et al., "Cognitive Control in Auditory Working Memory Is Enhanced in Musicians," PLOS One, June 15, 2010).
Both music and language are complex communication systems, in which basic components are combined into high-order structures in accordance with rules. Whether music was an evolutionary precursor to language or merely a byproduct of cognitive faculties that developed to support language, music is pervavise across human cultures and throughout history (Nina Kraus, Jessica Slater, "Music and language: relations and disconnections," The Human Auditory System: Fundamental Organization and Clinical Disorders, Vol. 29, 3rd Series, 2015).
Cross-sectional comparisons of musicians to non-musicians have established a variety of musician enhancements in auditory skills and their neural substrates, extending from enhanced perception and neural encoding of speech, most notably in suboptimal listening conditions, to more proficient auditory working memory and auditory attention (Nina Kraus, Dana L. Strait, "Emergence of biological markers of musicianship with school-based music instruction," Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2015).
Adults who receive formal music instruction as children have more robust brainstem responses to sound than peers who never participate in music lessons and that the magnitude of the response correlates with how recently training ceased. These results suggest that neural changes accompanying musical training during childhood are retained in adulthood (Skoe, E. & Kraus, N. 2012. A Little Goes a Long Way: How the Adult Brain Is Shaped by Musical Training in Childhood, Journal of Neuroscience, 32, 34, 11510. DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1949-12.2012).
Music therapy utilizing improvisation on hand drums helped veterans modulate their "often misdirected, exaggerated, and unrecognized emotions," with the goal being generalization of these skills to everyday life. Drumming provided an opportunity for the men to express and control their feelings and helped build a sense of connectedness and group mission (Burt, J. W. (1995). Distant Thunder: Drumming with Vietnam Veterans. Music Therapy Perspectives, 13, 110-112; quoted in, "Music Therapy and the Military," by Ronna Kaplan, Huffington Post, March 4, 2013).
Researchers found that those who played an instrument for two years showed a stronger "neurophysiological distinction" between certain sounds than children who didn't get the instrumental training. For instance, the music-makers more easily could tell the difference between the words "bill" and "pill," a key skill in learning to read (Skoe, E. & Kraus, N. (2012). A Little Goes a Long Way: How the Adult Brain Is Shaped by Musical Training in Childhood, Journal of Neuroscience, 32, 34, 11510. DOI: 10.1523/JNEUROSCI.1949-12.2012).
Researchers from Ohio State University's Wexner Medical Center looked at how different types of music and silence were processed in the brains of 21 people with epilepsy. Whether listening to classical music or jazz, all of the participants had much higher levels of brain wave activity when listening to music, the study found. Brain wave activity in the epilepsy patients tended to synchronize more with the music, especially in the temporal lobe, the researchers said (Robert Preidt, HealthDay, August 10, 2015).
Seven in ten Americans (71%) say that the learnings and habits from music education equip people to be better team players in their careers (July 2014 Harris Poll).
People high in openness to experience are more likely to play a musical instrument, and more likely to rate music as important to them (Nusbaum and Silvia, "Shivers and Timbres Personality and the Experience of Chills From Music," Social Psychology & Personality Science, 2010).
A review of 23 studies covering almost 1,500 patients found that listening to music reduced heart rate, blood pressure and anxiety in heart disease patients (Bradt & Dileo, "Music for stress and anxiety reduction in coronary heart disease patients," PubMed.Gov, 2009).
In research by Ferguson and Sheldon (2013), participants who listened to upbeat classical compositions by Aaron Copland, while actively trying to feel happier, felt their moods lift more than those who passively listened to the music. This suggests that engaging with music, rather than allowing it to wash over us, gives the experience extra emotional power (Ferguson and Sheldon, "Trying to be happier really can work: Two experimental studies," The Journal of Positive Psychology: Dedicated to furthering research and promoting good practice, 2013).
A study by Logeswaran et al. (2009) found that a quick blast of happy music made participants perceive other's faces as happier. The same was true for a snippet of sad music. The biggest effect was seen when people looked at faces with a neutral expression. In other words: people projected the mood of the music they were listening to onto other people's faces ( Logeswaran et al., "Crossmodal transfer of emotion by music," Neuroscience Letters, 2009).
Four out of five Americans (80%) believe their music education has contributed to their level of personal fulfillment (July 2014 Harris Poll).
Two-thirds (67%) of Americans say music education provides people with a disciplined approach to solving problems (July 2014 Harris Poll).
Two-thirds (66%) of Americans say that music education prepares someone to manage the tasks of their job more successfully (July 2014 Harris Poll).
Graduates from music programs report that creativity, teamwork, communication, and critical thinking are skills necessary in their work, regardless of whether they are working in music or other fileds (Craft, A. 2001. An Analysis of Research and Literature on Creativity and Education. Report Prepared for the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority. Coventry, England. Strategic National Arts Alumni Project, SNAAP. 2010. Forks in the Road: The Many Paths of Arts Alumni: Strategic National Arts Alumni Project 2010 Findings. Bloomington, IN).
Both the Greek and Roman armies used brass and percussion instruments — including the ancestors of the modern cornet and tuba — to convey information on the march, in the field and in camp. Greek armies on campaign employed musicians to accompany poetic recitations of odes and paeans designed to remind soldier and citizen alike of the valor of past heroes. After the collapse of Rome in the West, its tradition of martial music was preserved and refined by the Eastern empire in Byzantium (HistoryNet Staff, "The Music of War," History.net, June 6, 2012).
The formal discipline of music therapy has a rich, long history in providing services for our American heroes. It began after World Wars I and II, when community musicians performed in veterans' hospitals and medical professionals noticed patients' positive and emotional responses to music. In 1944, when it became evident that these hospital musicians required special training, the first music therapy degree program was founded. Currently, approximately 50 qualified music therapists work in VA hospitals throughout the U.S., according to Al Bumanis, director of communications at the American Music Therapy Association ("Music Therapy and the Military," by Ronna Kaplan, Huffington Post, March 4, 2013).
Since 2005, the VA has more than doubled the number of music therapists at its clinics (Abbie Fenress Swanson, "Music helps vets control symptoms of PTSD," Time, March 8, 2010).
When the first American soldiers manual — compiled by Maj. Gen. Wilhelm von Steuben — was issued to the Continental Army in 1778, it contained a list of beats and signals modeled on those used in European armies. More quickly than in Europe, however, the bugle replaced the fife and drum ensemble in the American ranks. In 1867 bugle calls for the U.S. armed forces, mostly patterned after French models, were codified and standardized into a form that largely survives today (HistoryNet Staff, "The Music of War," History.net, June 6, 2012).
While burgeoning technology eclipsed the need for music to accompany movement on the battlefield by the mid-20th century, it remained an effective means by which states could manipulate the morale, energies and attitudes of armies and indeed entire populations (HistoryNet Staff, "The Music of War," History.net, June 6, 2012).
A study of healthy male college students found that, while riding stationary bicycles, the participants worked harder while listening to fast music. Extra bonus: They also enjoyed the music more (Scott Christ, "20 surprising, science-backed health benefits of music," USA Today, December 17, 2013).
One study found that playing soft music (and dimming the lights) during a meal can help people slow down while eating and ultimately consume less food in one sitting (Scott Christ, "20 surprising, science-backed health benefits of music," USA Today, December 17, 2013).
Listening to classical music has been shown to effectively treat insomnia in college students (Scott Christ, "20 surprising, science-backed health benefits of music," USA Today, December 17, 2013).
Scientists have found that the emotions patients experience while listening to music have a healthy effect on blood vessel function. Music both made study participants feel happier and resulted in increased blood flow in their blood vessels (Scott Christ, "20 surprising, science-backed health benefits of music," USA Today, December 17, 2013).
One study found that listening to music after a workout can help the body recover faster. While slow music produced a greater relaxation effect post-exercise, it seems that any kind of music can help the physical recovery process (Scott Christ, "20 surprising, science-backed health benefits of music," USA Today, December 17, 2013).
Studies show that music can trigger the brain to release chemicals that distract the body from pain. When music reaches the brain's auditory cortex, there's communication between the cortex and the brain's areas that control emotion, memory, and motor control (Abbie Fenress Swanson, "Music helps vets control symptoms of PTSD," Time, March 8, 2010).
The College Entrance Examination Board found that students involved in public school music programs scored 107 points higher on the SAT's than students with no participation (Profiles of SAT and Achievement Test Takers, The College Board, compiled by the Music Educators National Conference, 2002).
Nearly half of parents and teachers support integrating music into the professional development of all educators (NAMM Foundation and Grunwald Associates LLC, 2015. Striking a Chord: The Public's Hopes and Beliefs for K–12 Music Education in the United States: 2015).
Soldiers of the 1700s were required to function almost as automatons, to obey, smoothly and in formation, whatever commands were given by their superiors. With clouds of gunsmoke added to the din of combat, oral commands or personal example were not always reliable means of giving direction to an army. An order that was not heard — or worse, not understood — could be as dangerous as the enemy. Musically transmitted signals, however, could be heard above the crash of gunfire. The voice of the trumpet and the cadence of the drums were clear and unambiguous, making them vital to command and control (HistoryNet Staff, "The Music of War," History.net, June 6, 2012).
Making music can help reduce job burnout and improve your mood, according to a study exposing 112 long-term care workers to six recreational music-making sessions of group drumming and keyboard accompaniment. (As published in "Advances in Mind-Body Medicine") Engaging in playing music reduces depression. Recent research with long-term care workers showed reduced depression (21.8 percent) six weeks after the completion of a music-making program consisting of one hour per week (Source: A 2003 study conducted by Trip Umbach Healthcare Consulting, Inc.).
Employee stress is expensive for companies and widespread. Research shows that the economic impact is estimated at $300 billion each year (Source: New York Times). Experts claim that 60 to 90 percent of doctor visits involve stress-related complaints.
Engaging in RMM reduces stress. RMM has been shown to reverse the body's response to stress at the DNA level (Source: Dr. Barry Bittman).
Depression is widespread in the workforce and is expensive for companies. The economic impact of depression in the workplace is estimated at $34 billion annually—$11 billion for treatment, $11 billion in decreased productivity, and $12 billion in absenteeism. Depression affects about 19 million people, 70 percent of whom are in the workforce. (Figures are according to Braun Consulting News).
RMM can help companies reduce turnover, saving them millions. The research with long-term care workers showed an 18.3 percent overall reduction of employee turnover by implementing an RMM program. The total annual savings was projected at $1.46 billion.
Every worker can participate in RMM. There are no physical limitations or requirements.
The Weekend Warriors program is a national recreational music making initiative that encourages adult music lovers to make the jump to being music makers. Participants learn how to play music from a professional musician who coaches the group through five to eight weeks of song building on the weekends. At the end of the session, the group shows off their new musical skills during a performance at a local venue.
The program was launched in 1993 by Skip Maggiora of Skip's Music in Sacramento, Calif., and was designed to encourage older adults who once played an instrument or who have never pursued the activity to start playing for real.
Maggiora licensed the idea to the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), which encourages its NAMM Member retailers across the United States to offer the program in their community stores and provide adults with the opportunity to experience the many proven social, physical and wellness benefits of making music.
Since the program was started, thousands of middle-aged, career-minded adults such as doctors, lawyers and engineers, have become "weekend warriors" and are now living out their rock star dreams by playing in a band on the weekends.
I believe that our district offers both a quantity and quality of music programming that is unusual for its size. One simply would not expect a rural community of approximately 4,000 residents to offer the sorts of programming that we do. In recognition of this, a number of families from neighboring districts choose to open enroll their children in our schools in order to participate in our music programming. And none of this would be possible without the consistent support that our community provides.


Writer's note: This is the fourth and final piece in a four-part series on the expansion and addition of two new NBA teams: the Montreal Expos and the St. Louis Spirits, thanks to NBA 2K18's MyLeague. The main focus is on the team I decided to go with, the Montreal Expos. I'm covering the year from the beginning of the 2017-18 season to just after free agency in the 2018 offseason. The majority of the season is simmed, games against top-tier teams are played and I'll play one playoff game each round if the Expos make it through.
Now into the final weeks of the season, the Montreal Expos looked to hold their spot in fourth in the Eastern Conference and clinch their first playoff berth in franchise history. After several trades on deadline day and ups and downs to this point, the team looked poised to make some noise and potentially break some hearts on their way to their first run at the NBA Finals. Management was also looking at the upcoming NBA Draft and free agency in earnest as they wanted to improve the roster and make the team a powerhouse in the East.
A close game in the first half turned into a runaway win for the Golden State Warriors thanks to strong performances from their superstars. The first half of the game was owned by Klay Thompson who came out red hot and was not only hitting his shots, but was also aggressive in getting to the basket. Thompson finished the first half with 16 points on 5-9 shooting from the field including two from beyond the arc. Kyle O'Quinn used his size and strength to his advantage, bullying the Warriors in the paint. O'Quinn finished the first half with 10 points and 10 rebounds. Golden State took a 54-50 lead into the half, and despite being outscored in the third quarter, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry took over in the fourth quarter to secure the win for the Warriors. The best player for the Expos on the night was arguably Kyle O'Quinn, who finished with 16 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block. Jordan Player of the Game went to Stephen Curry, who finished with 23 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals. Kevin Durant finished with 26 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals and 1 block. Klay Thompson finished with 23 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.
In a game that didn't give much to write home about, Houston controlled the game from start to finish. The 10-point deficit that Montreal fell victim to going into the second quarter proved to be too much to come back from, as an explosive fourth quarter from the Rockets crushed any chances the Expos felt they may have had. Jamal Crawford was the workhorse for the Expos, scoring 16 points in 21 minutes while adding 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. James Harden put up 27 points, 8 rebounds, and 5 assists, but Jordan Player of the Game honors went to Chris Paul who commanded the Houston offense flawlessly and led all scorers with 28 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 1 steal.
After an emotional and memorable first NBA season, the Montreal Expos managed to make the NBA Playoffs! Despite the excitement by the team, there was no time to celebrate as it was time to get into the second season. Up first: a matchup against the fifth-seeded Philadelphia 76ers.
Maybe it was the glitz and glam of the second season, or maybe the anxiety of playing at another level; whatever it may have been, the Montreal Expos came out flat and didn't look like the fourth seed that they played hard to keep as the 76ers came out and took it to them from the opening jump. Philadelphia came out with a different dynamic and started T.J. McConnell at point guard and Markelle Fultz at shooting guard. The matchups seemed to throw Montreal off as they couldn't adjust to what the 76ers were throwing at them. Up 54-47 at halftime, Philadelphia came out in the second half and shut down the Expos defensively while scoring almost at will on the offensive end. The Expos were led by Jamal Crawford who had 14 points, 2 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals, while the 76ers were led by T.J. McConnell who finished with 16 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals. Philadelphia also got a strong performance from Joel Embiid, who was dominant on the boards and in the paint. Embiid finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block.
Despite getting a win at home in Game 4, the Montreal Expos were eliminated by the Philadelphia 76ers in 5 games. The Expos will look to strengthen their team in the offseason through the NBA Draft and free agency. Philadelphia moves on to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in Round 2.
The Golden State Warriors repeated as NBA Champions after defeating the Cleveland Cavaliers 4-3 in the NBA Finals. Finals MVP Honors went to Steph Curry, who finished the series with averages (per game) of 27.0 points, 3.9 rebounds, 8.7 assists and 2.1 steals while shooting 51.8 percent from the field.
With the playoffs finally over and the time to improve the team now here, building on last season's performance and improving to become a formidable team was at the top of the list for management. Each segment of the offseason process was followed with great attention so that all areas would be covered in the process of going from a building/rebuilding franchise to a contender as quickly as possible.
The Montreal Expos made a few trades during the day. The first was with the Memphis Grizzlies, looking to acquire a power forward that could contribute offensively as well as defensively.
The second trade seemed to be a move to get rid of some salary while getting some value in return.
In a move where the impact might not be seen for a couple of seasons, and while still mulling their own pick at number 21, the Montreal Expos made a trade with the New Orleans Pelicans to secure the number 22 pick. The Expos really liked a player that they didn't want to let get away.
The Montreal Expos decided to go ahead and sign their two first-round draft picks to rookie contracts today. 21st overall pick Vince Edwards signed a 2yr/$3.30M tender. 22nd overall pick Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk signed a 2yr/$3.17M tender.
In a move that has the league wires buzzing and the fans in Montreal excited, word has come out that superstar Paul George has agreed to a 4-year, $115.51M deal to sign with the Expos. The deal is reportedly a 3-year deal with a team option for the 4th year. Stay tuned as more details arise.
In a move that will surely help in taking the team one step closer to being contenders in the next season or two, the Montreal Expos officially announced the signing of four-time NBA All-Star Paul George. George put pen to paper, signing a 3-year, $88.98M contract. The Expos hold a team option for year 4 where, if exercised, will mean a fourth-year salary of $26.53M. When asked about his new starting small forward, Head Coach Jake Thomas stated that he was "elated that the Expos went out and got a superstar talent to help bolster the team." It'll be interesting to see what kind of dynamic PG-13 brings to his new team.
The Montreal Expos and Jordan Bell agreed to a 4-year, $17.09M extension. The deal is a 3-year, $13.17M deal with the Expos having a team option for year 4, where Bell would be set to make $3.93M.
Expos Move Harkless; McDermott Rumors True?
A reported meeting between the Montreal Expos and free agent Doug McDermott and his representatives had sources around the league curious as to what was in the works in Montreal. Some truth was thought to be behind the McDermott rumors after Montreal made a deal with Phoenix.
What appeared to be potential rumors and rumblings ended up being a fact, as the Montreal Expos signed free agent small forward Doug McDermott to a 4-year, $13.17M deal. The Expos hold a team option for year 4 where, if exercised, will mean McDermott earns $3.03M. This move, after trading away Maurice Harkless, looked like one where Montreal was trying to offload Harkless' salary to add a viable scorer in McDermott to back up Paul George. The move made financial sense for the Expos who were getting McDermott for 4 years at half the salary constraints that Maurice Harkless' contract presented to the team.
After what proved to be a crazy first year in the NBA for the team, the Montreal Expos fought through adversity to make the playoffs in their first season. Despite suffering a loss at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers, the Expos took the experience and knowledge gained and will definitely have it in mind for their next playoff run. The offseason moves made by the team have left the Expos in a stronger place than they were last season. Only time will tell what great things are possible for the city of Montreal and their NBA team.

Eastbourne woman 'too afraid to leave the house' after attack
Mandy with Angel (right)
Ginny Sanderson
An Eastbourne woman who says she was attacked by a stranger while out walking her dog is now too scared to leave her house.
Mandy Tucknott said she only leaves her home to go to the doctors after being 'traumatised' by the incident in March.
Mandy says she was left with bad bruising
She said she was walking her pet chihuahua Angel along Rotunda Road when she noticed a black Mercedes car seemed to be following her.
After cutting down St Anthony's Road she turned into Leeds Road when she said she saw the car was still following her.
Ms Tucknott said, "As I got half way up the road, the Mercedes pulled over and the driver got out and assaulted me while the other passenger stayed in the car. Nothing was stolen."
She was left with bad bruising on her wrists and legs and was very shaken by the incident.
She said, "Since I've been attacked it has affected my life. I've had to stop seeing my friends and family where I'm too scared to go out and if I do go anywhere in the future I will have to go out with my partner and make sure I carry my phone as the police put a marker on it.
"I've only been out with my partner to the doctors and I only take my chihuahua out down to the communal garden where I live, otherwise my partner walks the dog."
Sussex Police said on March 23 officers received a report from a woman stating on Tuesday, March 20, at around 12.30pm she had been followed by a black Mercedes car from Rotunda Road along Leeds Road.
The vehicle stopped and one man exited the car and assaulted the victim, said police.
One of the men was described as white, 5ft 7ins, aged between 25-30 years-old and of medium build.
A spokesperson for the police said, "All lines of enquiry were investigated, but with no success so it was filed, pending any new information."
If you have any information about this incident or would like to report matters of a similar nature, you can do so online or call 101.

SPOOKY AUDIENCE
Freaky moment a 'ghost' appears in the mirror behind young woman in a dance studio
The video was shared on a Facebook group and has been viewed more than 4 million times
By Hannah Crouch
A SPOOKY video which shows the moment a "ghost" appears in the mirror of a dance studio has sparked an online debate about the paranormal.
The video shows a young woman enjoying her dance routine before she takes a break.

The "ghost" stands in the same position as the woman walks away - the video has sparked on online debate with some people believing it is real while others have branded it a fakeCredit: Ghost, Paranormal And Other Weird Worlds
Later on, the woman sits down, away from the mirror.
Then like a scene from a horror film, what is believed to be her reflection in the mirror, turns its face ans stands up.
The young woman is seen to be completely unaware of what is going on behind her and walks out of the studio.
The video was shared on the Facebook group, Ghost, Paranormal and Other Weird Worlds in April and has since been viewed more than 4 million times.
The group captioned it: "What do you guys think about this video?"
It is not known where in the world the footage is from.

Facebook user, See Zar, said: "Fake...Look at the details when she goes closely to the corner.
"The first ones she didn't have a reflection and then all of a sudden she has one.
"Looks staged."
Jaimee Mullins appeared to agree and added: "Seems she has a twin in the background mirror, this is a fake, whole body language set up, the sitting down precisely with the "twin" behind her, their movement aren't exact."
However some people disagreed.
Amanda Lopez said: "I watched it two more times.
"I did not once see a break in the feed.
"I believe it was real."
Monica Lynn added: "I think you guys are all scared to think what if it was real."

Towards an Antipodean theory of space
Phillip O'Neill, University of Newcastle
Pauline M. McGuirk, University of WollongongFollow
O'Neill, P. & McGuirk, P. (2007). Towards an Antipodean theory of space. In P. O'Neill & G. Wrightson (Eds.), Proceedings of the ARCRNSISS Methodology, Tools and Techniques and Spatial Theory Paradigm Forums Workshop (pp. 207-216). Melbourne, Australia: RMIT Publishing.
The paper explores the idea of a critique of Antipodean theory of space as one agenda for the Spatial Theory paradigm in ARCRNSISS. The paper has three parts. First it seeks to resuscitate aspirations for a distinctive Antipodean understanding of Australia's socio-cultural, economic, personal and organisational spaces. It argues that theoretical advances underpinning such a project require an appreciation of the role of intertextuality and metaphor in theory building. Second, it identifies the nature and role of imported metaphors of space, especially those from northern hemisphere academic hearths, and how these have impacted on Australian life. Third, it speculates on the dimensions of a collaborative research project for the building of a more self-conscious understanding of space useful in both academic research and public policy settings.
