Here's what it looks like inside the eye of Hurricane Dorian
NOAA's Hurricane Hunter flew into the Category 5 storm and experienced something known as the 'stadium effect.'

A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration P-3 "Hurricane Hunter" flew into Hurricane Dorian as it passed over the Bahamas Sunday, giving a rare look inside the eye of the Category 5 storm.
On Sunday, Dorian's maximum sustained winds reached 185 mph, with gusts up to 220 mph, tying the record for the most powerful Atlantic hurricane to ever make landfall. That equaled the Labor Day hurricane of 1935, before storms were named. The only recorded storm that was more powerful was Hurricane Allen in 1980, with 190 mph winds, though it did not make landfall at that strength.
The video starts as the P-3 is traveling through the storm before emerging to calm skies. A wall of clouds can be seen surrounding the eye with clear, blue skies above.

The camera later pans down to briefly show the ocean before the plane re-enters the storm.
An earlier tweet by NOAA shows the P-3 in the eye, describing it as the "stadium effect." That's when a hurricane makes a cone shape so that being in the eye appears like sitting in a sports stadium.
Although the eye of a hurricane is calmer, NOAA sent out a warning to people on the ground who had ventured into the eye to take a look and posted videos to social media.
"IMPORTANT: We have seen videos in the Abacos of people venturing out in the eye of #Dorian. Everyone should take shelter immediately as winds will increase rapidly and unpredictably after the eye passes," NOAA tweeted Sunday.

and this is before open keyboard then photo I modify some thing about my listview to start the bottom and resize it when keyboard is open stuff like that, maybe it's the problem ?

A: just remove android:lines="2" and it solve. and you want all the lines to show then also remove android:maxLines="3".

My DIY Peter Pan Collar Necklaces!
Hey guys! So on last week's TGIF I showed a picture of the little DIY project I was working on, and now it's time to show you! I made Peter Pan collar necklaces! Missglamorazzi put up a tutorial of these, and I was immediately drawn to them. So, like a little Martha Stewart, I made my way to Michael's, and got the supplies for it! They were a little messy to make, and I had some downfalls. I made like ten of them and only one I actually LOVE. I made a whole bunch with glitter, but they are really stiff! I've been a little too busy to actually test out wearing them, but from what I can see, they are going to be too stiff and too 'crafty' looking. I made two with studs, and I am still experimenting with them too, but they seem really lightweight, and they seem like they lift up and kind of float around my neck…maybe some tape stuck to my shirt…? Haha, but out of them all, one turned out AMAZING! I feel like it was $600 at Chanel or something! I got so many compliments on it the day I wore it to school, and it's really cool being able to say that you made it. I have a whole ton of supplies to make these things, so I am still going to experiment on how to make them just right. I didn't feel like doing a tutorial on them would be necessary because missglamorazzi did it, and that is exactly where I made mine from.
Make sure to cut off the top of your glue, don't twist off the cap and use a brush. The brush will stick to all of the beads that are already placed on the felt, and pick them all up off of it. Just squeeze the glue out of the top in the areas that you need, and if they aren't too small, spread them out with a brush. I didn't know that I had to cut off the top part of my glue, I just thought mine was broken! I personally outlined my collar with the beads (just like she did), and then when I had to put the glue all around them on the inside, I used a brush and the beads that were already placed on the outside rim stuck to the brush and came off. In other words, don't use a brush for this one!
Use lots of glue! Some of the beads will probably come off and you will have to reglue them like me, so just use a lot at start.
Make sure the entire surface of the felt is coated with glue, so the beads all stick. No shortages!
Put lots of coats of glue on the ribbon. The collar is a little heavy, and you don't want it to fall off when you're wearing it.
If you don't want to print off the template, just trace it on your computer screen! Obviously very lightly because you don't want to damage your screen!! I just very quickly did a little sketchy trace, and then kind of polished it just by freehand, and then cut it out.
Don't use too much glitter, you'll be surprised.
Use wax paper! If you get some on the wax paper when applying the glitter, just dump it back into the bowl and use it again.
Know that this is a messy project.
Before removing the collar from craft area, tap it to make sure ALL the excess glitter comes off.
GET THE FREAKING TIPS WITH GLUE. PLEASE. I had this issue so many times that I had to make a new one. The glitter does not adhere to the tips unless they are very SERIOUSLY coated. If you don't coat them, they look ridiculous. It didn't really show in the video, but oh my gosh, please beware! Do it the first time, because once the glitter is already on the whole thing, applying glue to the tips again just makes it all lumpy and doesn't even work! Along with this, pick a colour of felt that goes with the glitterso that if some felt does show through, it won't be that noticeable!
Once again, use lots of glue on the ribbons.
Remember that you can mix glitters to make it look kinda cool. I may attempt to do an ombre one in the future!
I think that's about it for my tips! The studded ones were easy, just very time consuming! Oh, and if you are sneaky you can get two out of one piece of felt! So if I find out a way to wear my other ones, I will show them in OOTDs. But for now, I am just going to show you the one that I love (which by the way, I just wear it with a plain beige long sleeve shirt), and the pic I showed last Friday.
A little ridiculous you may say?
Thanks to missglamorazzi (my favourite youtuber) for the tutorial and video! Talk to you guys in like a second with another post! Bye!
Hey guys! So I am coming to you with a new series! Celebrity style! I am basically just going to be highlighting a celebrity's style that I see online. Today is Taylor Swift's mint heart earrings!
I found a pair of mint heart earrings on Pinterest, and looked them up on Etsy, and found these gorgeous pair of studs!
Then, I was watching Both of Us music video, and saw this!!
Is she wearing them!? It looks like it to me! They might not be the exact ones, but they look pretty similar!
So what are your thoughts on these!? Like em!? I do!
I'll talk to you guys soon! I have another Taylor Swift Celeb Style post planned soon! Thanks for reading! Bye!
Want to know where else to find me!?
Hello again! So as you guys know I am a little overly obsessed with YouTube, and have been for like 2 and a half years now, and I have been following this girl named MakeupbyTiffanyD. Well today she posted her jewelry organization and I fell in love. She stores it all in the perfect accessible way, and it looks absolutely amazing on her dresser! All of the comments on that video say "you have great taste", and I completely agree! It looks so put together. Anyways, here is the video, her blog post, and a few pictures of her collection.
I have gotten a lot of inspiration from this video and whenever I get around to perfecting my room (it'll probably be in the new year!! haha), I will show you guys how my interpretation of it is.
I hope you guys enjoyed! Go subscribe to Tiffany! She is one of my favourites! She truly does have great taste. Thanks for reading! Bye!
Hey guys! So recently getting my ears pierced, I have of course been drooling obsessively over earrings online, and I thought I'd show you some of my favourite pieces I've found! Just on a little side note, today I will be cleaning up some categories and stuff so if you see some changes, that's why! Onto my unhealthy addictions!
I'm done! Haha I hope you guys enjoyed! Tell me which ones are your favourite in a comment! So, what are your favourite stud earrings? Leave that in a comment too! I will talk to you guys soon! Thanks for reading! Bye!
Hey guys! So I have another quick post for you! I have recently been crazy, crazy, crazy obsessed with Tiffany & Co. OMG. Haha, I have already planned for five things in the next few months! I have been watching this video over and over again too! I love michele1218!
Pictures from here, here, here, here, and here!
Just out of the blue wanted to do this post! Thank you guys so much for reading, and I will talk to you soon! Goodnight!


Curr Opin Immunol. 2003 Dec;15(6):639-46.
Mast cell signal transduction from the high-affinity IgE receptor.
Antigen-mediated aggregation of IgE bound to its high-affinity receptor on mast cells or basophils initiates a complex series of biochemical events, resulting in the release of mediators that cause allergic inflammation and anaphylactic reactions. Recent progress has defined the molecular pathways that are involved in stimulating these cells and has shown the importance of protein tyrosine kinases in the subsequent reactions. The activation pathways are regulated both positively and negatively by the interactions of numerous signaling molecules.

Ariana Grande's "thank u, next" Video is Iconic As Fuck
The superstar successfully reimagines her break-up track using infectious pop-culture nostalgia.
Text: AJ Longabaugh
Cementing the iconic status of her most recent hit "thank u, next", Ariana Grande, at no surprise, has officially delivered the video of the year. Spending the past month teasing fans and followers with imagery from the video, Grande's final cut does not disappoint and in fact, delivers way more than expected.
Taking on the personas of teen cult heroes Regina George, Torrence Shipman, Jenna Rink, and Elle Woods, Grande takes us through her break up track one verse at a time, crafting moments of pure pop-culture glory and goes one step further by inviting familiar faces from the movies Mean Girls and Legally Blonde as well as the likes of Troye Sivan and Kris Jenner to revel in the nostalgic confection.
Some highlights (so this read isn't a total spoiler fest) are: Ariana re-inventing the Plastics' "Jingle Bell Rock" dance as stage mom Kris Jenner is camera ready and getting her freak on in the audience, Jennifer Coolidge reprising her role as Paulette Bonafonte and making the "bend and snap" the official dance for the track, and Kris Jenner ending the video cheerfully saying, "Thank u, next, bitch".
I've already watched this video four times and if I'm being honest, each time it gets better and better. As an artist who has grown up in front of our very eyes and has faced several adversities throughout her very successful career, Ariana Grande isn't afraid to unapologetically show and fearlessly love who she really is. Ariana, you are my hero, and for gifting me and the entire world this iconic as fuck video, I will sing your praises until the day I die.
Watch Ariana Grande's "thank u, next" video below:

This morning, visit the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities, home to the largest collection of ancient Egyptian artifacts, including treasures from Tutankhamun and items dating to 4000 BC. During your visit, view its famed Mummy Room, featuring the remains of ancient Egypt's pharaohs and nobility, including Ramses II, one of Egypt's most powerful pharaohs. After lunch at a local restaurant, enjoy your afternoon at leisure. Tonight, gather for a welcome dinner hosted by Abercrombie & Kent.
Drive to Sakkara, site of hundreds of tombs and 14 pyramids, including the Step Pyramid of Djoser. Later, tour the Giza Plateau, site of the pyramids of Mycerinus and Chefren as well as the Great Pyramid. Built in the Fourth Dynasty (approximately 2690 BC), it is the only survivor of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Explore the interior of one of these legendary pyramids and visit the tombs of the pyramid builders, the workmen that actually built the great monuments. Ride Like a Local on camel back, then visit the Solar Boat Museum — site of Cheops' funerary boat — and the Great Sphinx.
Fly to Luxor, site of the ancient city of Thebes. Begin your full day of exploring here visiting the striking Temple of Luxor. Behold the three large statues of Ramses II along the front of the temple pylons; the Courtyard of Ramses II behind the East Tower; and the Colonnade of Amenhotep III, with its 14 papyrus-headed columns, some fully 50 feet in height. Then, step aboard 'Sanctuary Sun Boat IV,' where you enjoy lunch. Afterward, disembark to explore the west bank of the Nile and the Necropolis of Thebes, and enjoy a photo stop at the Colossi of Memnon. Next, stop at the lovely Temple of Hatshepsut, ancient Egypt's first female pharaoh and regarded today as one of its most successful. Continue to the Valley of the Kings, burial ground of the pharaohs and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For a period of 500 years beginning in the 16th century BC, tombs were built along this valley for pharaohs and nobles, including that of "the boy king," Tutankhamun. Found in 1922 by British archaeologist and Egyptologist Howard Carter, the tomb of Tutankhamun is yours to discover, as you set foot inside its 35-century-old walls. Also visit the tomb of Seti I, the father of Ramses II, one of the best preserved tombs in the Valley of the Kings.

Journey once more to the east bank of the Nile, this time with a journey to the Temple of Karnak, where generations of pharaohs wished to record their names. Walk through the Great Hypostyle Hall; its expertly aligned columns, the largest of which is 80 feet high with a 33-foot circumference, are a sight to behold. This afternoon, sail to Esna and visit the Temple of Khnum and marvel at its soaring columns.
Cruise to Edfu to view the Temple of Horus, falcon-headed god of the sky. Built in 230 BC by Ptolemy III and once buried in sand and debris, this stunningly well-preserved and colorful structure reveals what temple worship in ancient Egypt was like. Join your chef back on board for a local cooking lesson. Later, disembark at Kom Ombo (hill of gold) to visit the Greco-Roman temple dedicated to Haroeris (the sun god) and Sobek (the crocodile god), who was considered by some ancient Egyptians to be the creator of the world. While there, view the mummified remains of several crocodiles that once basked along the ancient Nile shore, just as their descendants do today.
Cruise to Aswan and proceed to the impressive granite quarries and site of the Unfinished Obelisk. Illustrating the skills of Egypt's stonemasons, this monolith is one-third taller than any other ancient Egyptian obelisk. Then, ride a motorized boat to Philae Temple on the island of Agilika. This sacred complex was dedicated to the Goddess Isis and reflects a fusion of three great civilizations — Egyptian, Greek and Roman. The temple was dismantled, and then painstakingly reassembled when the Aswan High Dam was constructed. Built in the 1960s, the dam spans the Nile River, more than two miles across and incorporating 16 times the amount of material that went into the Great Pyramid at Giza. It provides irrigation and hydro-electric power to much of Egypt, and the reservoir that formed behind it, Lake Nasser, is 340 miles long. Later, Ride Like a Local around the Aswan islands in a felucca, weather permitting.
Today, bid farewell to 'Sanctuary Sun Boat IV,' disembarking to fly to Abu Simbel. There, discover the commanding twin temples of Ramses II and his wife, Queen Nefertari. The former's façade is dominated by four statues of the pharaoh, each nearly 70 feet tall. Perhaps even more impressive, this entire site was disassembled and moved here to save it from the floodwaters caused by the Aswan High Dam. Return to Cairo for an afternoon at leisure.

This morning, explore the Mosque and Madrasa of Sultan Hassan, built in AD 1356 and among the finest examples of early Mamluk architecture. Next, walk from the twin-towered Bab el-Foutouh, a fortified gate in Cairo's Old City walls, to Khan el-Khalili Bazaar, one of the city's major souks (open-air marketplaces). Browse the tightly packed stalls displaying everything from spices and leather goods to jewelry and vegetables, all on a street that has hardly changed for centuries. Bargaining is expected, so prepare to negotiate. After lunch, choose to visit Coptic Cairo or return to your hotel for an afternoon at leisure. This evening, gather with your fellow guests to reflect on your journey through Egypt and along the Nile at a farewell dinner hosted by Abercrombie & Kent.

LITHUANIA: Fascists And Fire Bomb Disrupt Gay Pride But Parade Goes On
The headquarters of the organizers of Baltic Pride in Vilnius suffered a firebomb attempt last night, but Lithuania's first tiny gay parade went on under the protection of hundreds of soldiers and city police.
Opponents of Lithuania's first gay pride parade threw smoke bombs and tried to break through a barrier Saturday but were stopped by police firing tear gas. Later, protesters threw rocks and street signs at security forces, and two Lithuanian lawmakers were detained after trying to climb the barrier. About 400 people took part in the two-hour march — dubbed "For Equality" — in a sealed-off area in downtown Vilnius. Holding large rainbow flags and dancing to music blaring from loudspeakers, they walked along a road near the city's Neris river.
Participants included many foreigners, diplomats and members of the European Parliament. "We are here because we believe ... in a just society. Labels are for filing, for clothing, not for people. And we are here today to remove labels from people," said Birgitta Ohlsson, Sweden's minister for European Union affairs. Some 800 police, some on horses, were mobilized to provide security and keep at bay more than 1,000 demonstrators. Protesters carried crosses and signs and shouted insults at rally participants. A Catholic Mass at the nearby national cathedral was held to pray for homosexuals. "Sweden has already wiped out traditional families. Now they came over here to tell us how to live, how to think and who to sleep with. Lithuania will not allow such perversions," said Jonas Kempinskas, who walked from the Cathedral to the protest holding a huge cross.
Fascist groups lined the parade route with megaphones to hurl insults at the marchers. From the below clip's description:
When standing among the public watching the Parade my blood runs cold, listening to the conversations. My Lithuanian might still be limited, but the conversations are pretty clear. The most prevailing words are provocation and pederasts, and the presence of a fascist gang evokes emotions ranging from laughter to outright support. The group is not large, agreed, but they can roam about freely and are in no way hindered in expressing their views: Away with pederasts, away with Jews, away with occupants, with here and there a creative variety like Euro-pederasts. A banner shows the Prime Minister taking the mayor of Vilnius from behind undoubtedly he belongs to the category of Euro-pederasts. Fascists demonstrating freely in a city where the whole Jewish community of 80,000 inhabitants was murdered: it evokes some very special feelings. This is the European Union, this is an ancient cosmopolitan city with a rich and also painful pasts. But it is a city that clearly has not fully accepted European morals and values.
Next month when you complain about the commercialization of gay Pride and all those floats sponsored by banks, stop for a minute and consider what our brothers and sisters in Vilnuis endured today just to walk down their own streets as a proud openly gay people.
Labels: Baltics, fascists, gay Pride, Lithuania

Okinawa Marine dies in Afghanistan
• June 14, 2009
An Okinawa-based Marine explosive ordnance disposal officer was killed Wednesday in Afghanistan while on his sixth combat tour supporting operations Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom, the military announced.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 Ricky L. Richardson, 33, of Franklin, Mo., died while supporting combat operations in the Farah province, according to a news release.
Richardson arrived on Okinawa in July 2007 and was assigned to the 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, III Marine Expeditionary Force. He deployed to Afghanistan in February for his sixth combat tour, the release said.
Relatives told local television station KTVI-TV in St. Louis that Richardson was killed while dismantling bombs.
Family member Theresa Hulsey of Sullivan, Mo., told St. Louis television station KSDK that Richardson was a passionate and dedicated Marine. "Even when he wasn't on tour, when he was home, he was always saying, 'I need to get back over there. There's a lot I could be doing,' " Hulsey said, according to a report on the station's Web site.
Family also told the station that Richardson is survived by a wife and an 8-year-old son.
Richardson joined the Marine Corps in 1996. He was promoted to chief warrant officer 2 in August.
As of Thursday, at least 631 servicemembers have died in Operation Enduring Freedom since 2001, according to the Department of Defense Web site. Of those casualties, 465 were killed in action.

Ten Migrants Drown in Mediterranean, 4,800 Rescued
Rescued migrants, some of the more than 3,000 rescued Saturday by Italy and France in the Mediterranean Sea near Libya, arrive in the harbor of Lampedusa, southern Italy, May 2, 2015.
Ten migrants drowned in the Mediterranean near the coast of Libya over the last few days, but at least 4,800 were rescued as people smugglers took advantage of calm seas to attempt the often perilous crossing to Europe's southern shores.
All of those rescued were ferried to Italian ports, with some arriving on Italy's southernmost island, Lampedusa, and others taken to Sicily and Calabria.
The Italian Coast Guard said it rescued hundreds of migrants on at least 16 boats Sunday, following the rescue of nearly 3,700 Saturday.
Lampedusa, Sicily, and Calabria
Italy says that mild weather and calm seas are expected to push the number of migrant arrivals to 200,000 this year, 30,000 more than in 2014.
The unending flood of migrants leaving the chaos of Libya for a more stable life in Europe is continuing even after about 800 on one over-crowded boat drowned in a capsize last month. The captain of that boat mistakenly rammed it into a commercial ship on its way for a rescue operation.
While Saturday was a "very busy day," the coast guard said it was not a record for the agency, which coordinated the rescue of 3,791 migrants on April 12 and another 2,850 the following day.
The French patrol boat Commandant Birot, which was sent to boost European Union patrols to deal with the influx of migrant boats in the Mediterranean, picked up 217 people off the coast of Libya.
The migrants, all men, had been on board three boats, the authorities said, adding that two suspected people smugglers were also caught and would be handed over to Italian police.
Europe is struggling to deal with the flood of people trying to reach its shores. Hundreds of migrants, mostly African but also many Syrians escaping the war at home, land every day on the Italian coast after being rescued by the Italian navy or coast guard.
Following a series of shipwrecks that killed more than 1,200 people in April, European leaders at an April 23 summit agreed to strengthen the EU presence at sea, deciding to triple the previous $3.4 million-a-month funding for the operation run by its Frontex border agency.

Only used it one time on my 26 year old Tennessee Walking horse who has cushings. Performed perfectly. I wish I had purchased this product years ago.
Karissa S from Excellent pair of clippers!
We've waited a while to buy these because of cost. But I wish now we'd just gotten them sooner. They take a lot of stress and time off our kids when shaving their 4H goats for fair. They are loud yes. But they power through the clipping process like nothing we've ever used. Substantial and high quality. Fantastic product.
5 stars all day!!! We shear a large amount of Llamas every year. In the past other clippers couldn't keep up. These were awesome! Light weight, not nearly as loud as what other reviews said.
Clippers were great! Easy to follow directions, not to heavy, noise didn't seem to be a problem for my horse. Made quick work of getting rid of her winter coat.

We're Here to Help You Make The Right Move
WASHINGTON COURT REVERSES VEHICULAR HOMICIDE CONVICTION
On behalf of Law Office of Mark W. Muenster | Jul 31, 2018 | Criminal Law
In an important new criminal law decision, The Court of Appeals of Washington reversed a conviction in a vehicular homicide case in State v. Imokawa. The court held that the jury instructions did not make it reasonably clear that the state had to disprove alternate causation of the accident which led to the fatal injury. I was co-counsel on appeal with the trial lawyer who tried the case.
The jury instructions in a vehicular homicide case are very complicated. The state must prove that the defendant was a "Proximate Cause" of the injury that lead to death, and that the defendant driver was either driving recklessly or in "disregard for safety" of others, which is an aggravated form of negligence. The defendant may offer proof that the act of another person was a superseding or intervening cause of the accident, in which case he is not liable for the death.
Due process of law requires that the state has the burden of proving every element of the crime. In situations where the defense evidence "negates" an element of the crime, the state must disprove the defense.
In State v Imokawa, the instructions on the law given by the trial judge did not make it reasonably clear that the state had to disprove that the acts of another person constituted a superseding or intervening cause of the accident. The court reversed the conviction, and sent the case back to the trial court for a new trial, this time with correct and understandable jury instructions.

The 1st annual Washington University Climate Change Negotiation (WUCCN) Simulation was held at Washington University in St. Louis in November 2015. The event brought together a diverse group of students to simulate real climate negotiations, each representing one of the 196 countries that participated in the Conference of the Parties (COP) 21 in December. Students gained an understanding of the issues that will take center stage in Paris as well as an appreciation of the complexities that define our global community.
The first WUCCN followed the agenda of Workstream 1 of the ADP, working towards a negotiating text for a protocol, another legal instrument or an agreed outcome with legal force under the Convention applicable to all Parties. As the text produced from Workstream 1 was long and rather confusing (as UN documents tend to be), a single significant piece of text will be chosen as the focal point for the simulation.
At the ADP's February 2015 session in Geneva, Switzerland, the Group adopted the Geneva Negotiation Text ("GNT"), which has served as the basis for the negotiations of the 2015 agreement (the focus of Workstream 1). It is a compilation of options and proposals by Parties for inclusion in the 2015 agreement text. Issues up for discussion include mitigation, adaptation, loss and damage, and finance.

It's the kind of diagnosis that shakes a family to its core. Hodgkin lymphoma is a form of cancer that originates in white blood cells called lymphocytes, which are part of the human body's immune system.
Still, he made it a point to attend almost every hockey game his sons Tyler, now 24, and Justin, 21, played in at St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute and, later, with Niagara University's club team. In 2016-2017, when Tyler and Justin coached the 18-under Clarence Mustangs to a remarkable run to the national championship game in Lansing, Mich., Gary was in the stands.
"He has undoubtedly been my biggest supporter throughout my entire life and hockey career," said Justin, a senior communication studies major at NU.
That's what made it so much more special this past July 9 as Justin and Tyler lined up next to their cancer-free father on the blue line at HarborCenter in downtown Buffalo. The trio was participating in the 11-Day Power Play, which in two years has raised nearly $2.5 million toward cancer research and other causes.
Gary Crawford's name was the last one announced during player introductions for the Lightning Alumni. Justin said that hearing his dad introduced as a "cancer survivor" was a moment that he'll never forget.
"I was standing there next to him as they called out his name and I tapped his shin guard with my stick. That was followed by a great big hug. It was a very emotional moment for us, one that lays close to the heart."
For the uninitiated, the 11-Day Power Play is a round-the-clock event that requires teams to play in four-hour shifts as a nod to the long, arduous journey that cancer patients navigate on their road to recovery.
Justin, a Kenmore resident, played for two different teams during this year's event, which ran from July 5-15. He, his brother and his dad skated with the Lightning Alumni from 6-10 a.m. on July 9. Three days later, Justin and Tyler were back on the ice with Team Crawford from 2-6 a.m.
Though humble, Justin disclosed that his team won both games, with a combined score of 70-42. Most importantly, his teams raised more than $12,000 toward cancer research - and he had the opportunity to play ice hockey with his father for the first time in nearly 12 years.
"It is one of the sweetest things in the world that my dad is well and well enough to be on the ice playing the game that we love so dearly," said Justin. "Needless to say, we were having a blast out there and I got to encourage him just as he has done for me time and time again. The game of hockey has never been sweeter than it is now for me and my family. Having all of us on the ice, especially the 'Gare Bear' was so special. All the glory goes to God and I am very thankful to have had this opportunity to play with my dad in a game and for a foundation that means a lot to us."
After skating for four hours at HarborCenter, Justin headed to Niagara University to serve as a student-leader during Summer Orientation. Somehow, he was able to summon enough energy to enthusiastically welcome NU's newest students to campus, overseeing activities that ran into the wee hours of the night.
"It was a bit of a grind, but it was an awesome grind that I thoroughly enjoyed," said Justin. "I'm taken aback when I think about how lucky I was to be able to participate in two things that I love so much: the game of hockey with my family and summer orientation with my NU family. Despite the days being long and tiring, they were some of the greatest days I will ever remember."

Camille Saint-Saëns 'Cello Concerto No. 1': A Cut Above the Rest
Published by Alex Burns on 3rd September 2020 3rd September 2020
Camille Saint-Saëns: Cello Concerto No. 1
Composed for cellist Auguste Tolbecque in 1872, Camille Saint-Saëns' First Cello Concerto is still regarded as one of the most successful of its kind. During a time where instruments such as the piano and violin were often centre stage at concerts, Tolbecque was promoting the cello through his work as an educator and virtuoso. The concerto was premiered in January 1873 in Paris, and the success from this work enhanced Saint-Saëns' reputation for the rest of his life.
Saint-Saëns broke some classical conventions with this concerto, with the main being the structure. Traditionally, a concerto is in three separate movements. Although there are three movements, Saint-Saëns structured the work in one long continuous movement. The three sections are interlinked through harmony and melody.
Movement I: Allegro non troppo
Instead of opening with a long orchestral introduction, Saint-Saëns opens the concerto with a stab chord from the orchestra, with the cello then taking over and proclaiming the opening theme. Based on intricate triplet movement, the soloist's melodic lines are thrilling, enchanting and carefully woven into the fabric of the orchestra.
Slowly introducing countermelodies and shifts in harmony, Saint-Saëns carefully sets up a dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra who end up playfully communicating in a call and answer set up. Although much of the material is shared with the orchestra, the drama and atmosphere created by the composer still keeps the cellist firmly centre stage.
Movement II: Allegretto con moto
The rather brief second movement is a standard, but unique, minuet. Saint-Saëns biographer Stephen Studd comments on the composer's use of the cello: "His feeling for the cello, with its deep, dark tone and capacity for both dignified and impassioned utterance, was now rekindled by the melancholy that set in after a family bereavement." Motifs from this movement highlight the cello is varying lights, which corresponds with Studd's above comments.
This enchanting middle movement is further enhanced by the muted string accompaniment, whilst the sweet minuet sits on top. The cello plays in its upper register throughout, which creates that sense of yearning from the soloist. An impressive cadenza for the soloist is then played before the reminiscent finale movement takes hold.
Movement III: Tempo primo
The fast and fiery finale section highlights Saint-Saëns' flair for orchestration. With a restatement of the opening material from the first movement, the rest of the movement is largely used as a recapitulation of earlier movements. The cello reconsiders earlier themes through a highly virtuosic lens. Everything is now enhanced and twice as intense. The depths that Saint-Saëns goes to to create this movement is one of the many reasons why it has remained so popular today.
After tying up all these melodic loose ends throughout this movement, Saint-Saëns makes the ingenious choice to complete this iconic concerto with a 'coda' section of completely new musical ideas for the soloist. The pace quickens even more before the orchestra then steers the music from a mysterious A minor to A major, then the soloist takes over for a flourishing conclusion to this iconic concerto.
Saint-Saëns uses the cello as a strong declamatory instrument throughout. Always at the heart of this concerto, the cello goes through various trials and tribulations before flourishing into a brilliante finish. Saint-Saëns' First Cello Concerto has remained popular in the cello repertory, despite its difficulty level. It's certainly a work for virtuosi performers, although the real beauty of this work comes from the raw passion from Saint-Saëns' pen.

Currently, a lot is said about killing birds in Middle-East. From time to time we can see in media shot storks, eagles, pelicans or other charismatic species dead in, e.g. Lebanon. Of course, it is real, sad true and we must try to work on this issue. However, still in Europe, or even inside European Union many birds are being killed, not only the game species. But we need to take a look at serious danger and try to look at the facts.
This year we equipped 54 white storks juveniles with GPS-GSM transmitters. Until now 23 are dead. However, only one died in the Middle East – Saudi Arabia, probably shot down. But surprisingly, none of our storks flew through Lebanon. The remaining 22 did not even leave Europe. Most of them died due to electrocution on the medium voltage powerlines; only four died due to natural causes (killed by the raptor). We went to the places where our storks died (Poland, Romania and Bulgaria), and we discovered a terrible place. Close to Burgas, in Bulgaria is a rubbish dump where many storks stay during autumn migration. They roost on the electricity pylons, and many of them are being electrocuted. Feral dogs eat dead storks, and the remains create a terrifying view. One of our storks died right there. We found it (transmitter and a plastic ring) on the top of seven dead storks. We checked randomly ten pylons around the rubbish dump, and we found 130 dead white storks (from 0 to 20 under the single pylon). Around the rubbish dump were ca 100 pylons, so ca 1300 storks might have been died.
I år har 54 Storker som for første gang i sitt liv startet turen til Afrika merket med GPS-GSM-sendere. Og selv om det bare noen uker har gått siden avreisen er minst halvparten av dem allerede døde!
Dette kan en si sikkert fordi sendere på fuglene ble sporet. Fuglene ligger i et deponi nær Svartehavet nær den bulgarske byen Burgas. Bare et lite antall ender livet av naturlige årsaker, dvs. etter et rovdyrangrep. De fleste dødsfall er fra mennesker.

Post A Jewish Perspective on Israel/Palestine Conflict

A Jewish Perspective on Israel/Palestine Conflict (Ronald Hilton, USA, 11/15/04 5:00 pm)
General Robert Gard said: The Geneva Conventions of 1949 were negotiated and signed by virtually every nation state. The Conventions prohibit the colonization of territory seized by military force. Have a look at Security Council Resolution 242: territory seized by military force should not be retained. Unlike almost all resolutions involving Israel, the US did not veto 242; in fact, it voted in favor of it with the concurrence of Israel. Following the Zionist insurgency, which employed extensive acts of terrorism, the UN drew the boundaries of Israel; and, contrary to Secretary of State Marshall's strong recommendation against it, President Truman was the first head of state to recognize the new state of Israel.
Istvan Simon replies: I am honored to respond to such an illustrious WAISer as General Gard. General Gard's argument about the Geneva Conventions of 1949 neatly divide the examples that I had given in my previous post between before and after. Of course, I believe, as a person who has a longer perspective on human events than such an artificial division of before and after would suggest, immediately raised my eyebrows on this novel concept. It is naive to think that a piece of paper, even an important one like the one that the General mentioned, signed by virtually all nations, would change human History in the slightest. For of course I have no difficulty at all in immediately coming up with a dozen counter-examples which happened AFTER 1949 and which disprove General Gard's theory. Take Viet Nam, as well as all the so-called "Wars of National Liberation", that the Soviet Union, one of the signatories of said Geneva Conventions of 1949 sponsored. As the General well knows, Vietnam was unified by force of Arms in the 70's. The North Vietnamese did not even need the previous fig leaf which they used, in which they distinguished themselves from the Viet Cong, for undoubtedly General Giap's uniformed armies and tanks took Saigon. And what about the Korean War? That happened after 1949 as well. And what about Cyprus, taken by Turkey by force of Arms. I don't much hear about that either. What about Bangladesh. It was created as the result of a War between Pakistan and India, and it happened way after 1949. What about the invasion of Tibet by China? What about Yugoslavia, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia, and Kosovo? The United States, and the whole of NATO, all signatories of the Geneva Accords of 1949 participated in that one. What about Syria's invasion of Lebanon, was it a legal one sanctioned by the U.N.? I think I have made my point.
RH: Laws go into effect on a certain date. To dismiss an international agreement as a scrap of paper was done with disastrous effects by Germany. There is a difference between promoting political changes in another country and annexing territory. The only cases cited by Istvan which come into this category are Tibet and North Cyprus. Even in the case of Tibet, it was recognized as being historically part of China. That leaves North Cyprus, Turkey's annexation of which is not recognized by the international community. Did a single country recognize it?

WESTMINSTER – Twenty-seven people were arrested early Tuesday, March 5, after search warrants were served at two Westminster homes where suspected illegal gambling was taking place.
Shortly after midnight, West County SWAT and Buena Park SWAT descended upon two houses, said Cmdr. Cord Vandergrift of the Westminster Police Department.
The homes were less than a half-mile apart, with one on Treebark Circle and the other on Premier Avenue.
SWAT vehicles and officers in full gear entered the houses and pulled people out one by one. No one was injured during the raid.
Sgt. Phuong Pham said 15 men and 12 women were arrested. Some were cited and released while others were booked into jail for such offenses as suspicion of illegal gambling or of narcotics possession.
Some had outstanding warrants, police said, while one was a felon in possession of a firearm.
The alleged gambling operations are called slaphouses, derived from a game where players hit buttons on a large machine for points.
Police said the crackdown came after a three-month investigation into illegal gambling in the city, which, Pham said, breeds other illegal activities.
Vandergrift said the activity, the going in and out of the homes, often tips off police.
"A lot of the times, it's the neighbors that call in and report the activity that … starts the investigation," he said.
