Q: Optimizing JQuery color changes script can this code below be further optimized?  I feel that it's using too much resources as it is written now (my JS testing knowledge is close to nothing...).
I welcome tips and rewrites.
    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

$(document).ready(function() {setInterval(function () {spectrum()},5000); });

 function spectrum(){
    var hue = 'rgb(' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ')';
    $('.front-panel-heading').animate( { backgroundColor: hue },7000);
    $('#content h2 > span').animate( {color:hue}, 7000);
    $('#colophon > div > span').animate( {color:hue}, 7000);
 };
});

Notes:
the script is live on my personal website (apleasantview.com)
I've been using this for a while and today I cleaned it up a little as well as adding 'transition' in my css as suggested in the third answer here:
How to apply transparency to a background that changes color smoothly
Thx in advance -Cris.
//code update 1 following answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/24079418/2947983
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {

setInterval(function () {spectrum()},5000);

function spectrum(){
    var hue = 'rgb(' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ')';

    $('div#front-panel-bkgr').animate( {backgroundColor:hue}, 7000);
    $('span#clr-swtch').animate( {color:hue}, 7000);

 };

});

//code update 2 following answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/24121309/2947983
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {

    setInterval(function () {
        spectrum()
    }, 7000);

    var frontPanel = $('div#front-panel-bkgr'),
        clrSwitch = $('span#clr-swtch'),
        timer = 7000;
        spectrum();

    function spectrum() {
        var hue = 'rgb(' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ')';
        frontPanel.animate({backgroundColor: hue}, timer);
        clrSwitch.animate({color: hue}, timer);
    };
});

A: Reduce the number of DOM lookups
You are looking up the same dom elements every time you run this code. You can store the jQuery objects in a variable outside of the function to improve cpu-sage.
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {

    setInterval(function () {
        spectrum()
    }, 5000);

    var frontPanel = $('div#front-panel-bkgr'),
        clrSwitch = $('span#clr-swtch');

    function spectrum() {
        var hue = 'rgb(' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ')';
        frontPanel.animate({backgroundColor: hue}, 7000);
        clrSwitch.animate({color: hue}, 7000);
    };
});

Timing
Your animations are taking two seconds longer than then setInterval is calling the function. You might be OK for the first loop or two, but eventually you will have the elements trying to change to two or three colours at the same time. Remove the setInterval and add the function as the callback to one of the animate functions. Also, if you want both animations to take the same amount of time to run, replace the 7000 with a variable. This will allow you to change the value during development in one place only and have both rules run at the same time:
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {

    var frontPanel = $('div#front-panel-bkgr'),
        clrSwitch = $('span#clr-swtch'),
        timer = 7000;
    spectrum();
    function spectrum() {
        var hue = 'rgb(' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ',' + (Math.floor(Math.random() * 256)) + ')';
        frontPanel.animate({backgroundColor: hue}, timer);
        clrSwitch.animate({color: hue}, timer, spectrum());
    };
});

[edit]
Because the callback is self-referencing there is going to be an infinite loop going on. I think the browser (or perhaps jQuery?) has worked that out and is throwing the range error. To get around this, wrap the callback in an anonymous function:
        clrSwitch.animate({color: hue}, timer, function() {spectrum();});

A: 1) if there is only one span in #content h2 or in #colophon > div than add id to them
2) You are using double $(document).ready(), use only first, and move function spectrum away from $(document).ready
3) .front-panel-heading - can't it be replaced with id?


"While it's easy to point to face-to-face meetings as one of the casualties of disruptive technologies, the way we communicate at work continues to undergo significant changes. And the latest innovations indicate that there's more change on the horizon. If you blink, you could miss opportunities to help leverage technology and meet the needs of your organization. According to Adobe's Future of Work Report, 81 percent of employees rated innovative technology as more important than perks and amenities. The 2016 survey revealed that employees in companies with state-of-the-art technology were more likely to feel creative, motivated and valued than employees working at companies with outdated technology. We rounded up 5 of the major ways technology is changing the way people in the workforce are communicating. Whether your team is all under one roof or spread out across different time zones, you may discover some new opportunities to enhance your business communications."

The Chocobo Sage's House is a tiny little solitude house located up in the mountainous regions of the northern continent. It can be found fairly close to the Northern Cave, the Icicle Village and the Great Glacier.
There are three reasons to visit the Chocobo Sage's House. The first is to swing by and pick up the Enemy Skill Materia that you can obtain by talking to the Chocobo on the lower level of the house. The second is for purchasing items from the Chocobo Sage which are required for racing and breeding Chocobos.
The Chocobo Sage will actually tell you how to raise and breed each different type of Chocobo but this isn't required when you have this strategy guide on hand. Just return and talk to the Chocobo Sage from time to time and he will tell you more and more information until he 'forgets'. Then recite this information to Chole at the Chocobo Farm and she will jot it all down for you so that you can review it again.

U of T and IIT Bombay to Launch Entrepreneurship Program, Shared Innovation Pipeline
The University of Toronto and Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) are developing a new entrepreneurship program that will strengthen ties between the innovation ecosystems in Canada and India, benefitting startups in both countries.
The partnership will see the two top-ranked universities implement exchange programs for budding entrepreneurs, support research collaborations and develop a strong, two-way innovation talent pipeline.
The program will be an important component of U of T's new Entrepreneurship Centre in Mumbai, part of the upcoming U of T Centre in India, a wide-ranging collaboration that will also include the Indian affiliate of U of T's School of Cities. Programming will include an innovation conference that alternates between Canada and India, startup competitions, workshops and sustained support for entrepreneurs.
There will also be opportunities for placements within the entrepreneurship hubs of select Indian companies.
"The University of Toronto is delighted to build on our already strong relationship with IIT Bombay, an institution that's recognized worldwide for excellence in teaching, research and innovation in the engineering and technology disciplines," said Derek Newton, U of T's assistant vice-president, innovation, partnerships and entrepreneurship.
"As leading universities in Canada and India, each located in our respective countries' commercial hubs of Toronto and Mumbai, this partnership will leverage our many commonalities, as well as our unique strengths, to promote research collaboration, knowledge-sharing and market access, while creating an environment where new business ideas can thrive."
Poyni Bhatt, the CEO of IIT Bombay's Society for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (SINE), said the partnership will enrich entrepreneurship activities in both countries.
"SINE IIT Bombay is excited to work with U of T to leverage mutual synergies for startups from India and Canada," she said. "We look forward to productive outcomes out of this partnership in the coming years."
Both U of T and IIT Bombay are leaders in university-managed startup incubation.
Over the past decade, U of T has nurtured more than 500 startups that have secured more than $1.5 billion in investment. SINE, set up in 2004, has supported more than 150 startups that have raised more than $223 million in funding and created more than 4,000 jobs.
Exchange programs will be a central part of the new initiative, with U of T Entrepreneurship set to welcome IIT Bombay startups to Canada and curate their engagement with the Canadian innovation scene, and SINE doing the same for U of T startups in India.
Up to 30 U of T entrepreneurs will have the chance to go to India through the Mitacs Entrepreneur International program, allowing them to explore new business development opportunities. Mitacs is a not-for-profit organization that fosters growth and innovation in Canada by solving business challenges with research solutions from the best academic institutions at home and around the world.
It's an initiative that resonates with the entrepreneurs behind iMerciv, a U of T startup that developed a wearable mobility device for people with vision loss called the BuzzClip. Co-founded by U of T civil engineering alumnus and CEO Bin Liu and chief operating officer Arjun Mali, iMerciv received support from U of T's Impact Centre accelerator, one of several U of T campus-linked entrepreneurship hubs. The company is active in India, where Mali's family are longtime supporters of a school and orphanage for blind children – and where much of BuzzClip's early testing took place.

Mali said U of T's partnership with IIT Bombay presents a great opportunity for entrepreneurs in both universities.
"The market potential in India is massive," said Mali. "If your product is competitive when it comes to quality as well as cost, it can be a very large market for your business.
"That's a key benefit for Canadian entrepreneurs who go and explore the Indian market."
As for IIT Bombay entrepreneurs who get to take part in exchange programs in Canada, Mali said: "It's about understanding how the culture and sales-cycle process work on this side of the world … learning how to take a company that's growing in India and adapting that to make it essentially global.
"Toronto is a great stepping stone to go international."

Afrobeat – a Multicultural Arts Victoria event
Afrobeat was another wonderful Multicultural Arts Victoria Inc. event held recently at St Paul's African House, Shepparton
A special event paying tribute to the iconic music of Afrobeat pioneer Fela Kuti and renowned visual artist Lemi Ghariokwu.
Lemi Ghariokwu, the award winning visual artist famous for creating most of Fela Kuti's album covers, came to Australia to present his work and co-host a series of events marking the 20th anniversary of the death of his friend and mentor, Fela Anikulapo Kuti.
Presenters Multicultural Arts Victoria and Flight 1067 to Africa on PBS, were very pleased to have Shepparton on the itinerary for this special commemorative tour, with a special free Afrobeat Celebration at St. Paul's African House. The evening featured an exhibition of Lemi Ghariokwu's album covers and included an artist talk from the man himself. Completely self-taught, this "Lagos Afro-pop art exponent/Afro-visionary artist" gained worldwide fame as the designer of Fela Anikulapo-Kuti's album covers; and between 1974 and 1993, he produced 26 of those, apart from hundreds of covers for musicians like Bob Marley, Kris Okotie, Osita Osadebe, James Iroha, Gilles Peterson, Miriam Makeba, and Lucky Dube.
Following the artist talk, local hip hop and African gospel music collective, the Ignite Project Crew and mentor Momo (aka Mohamed Komba), took to the stage to rock you with some original tunes they have cooked up in weekly music mentoring sessions at African House. The group includes 15 local young artists from African backgrounds who are extraordinarily talented and creative both on the mic and with the pen.
To wrap up the night, six piece Melbourne based band, Public Opinion Six delivered a high energy set of afro-beat medicine administered directly to your soul. Fronted by Senegalese griot musician, Lamine Sonko, Public Opinion Six breathe new life into the sound of West Africa and bring a powerful message of resistance to the next generation of afro-beat. The band performs original compositions that fuse traditional Senegalese Sabar music and dance forms with a first- hand afro-beat authenticity. The songs flip in and out of traditional tongue, street pidgin chants and English verse regularly punctuated by impossible percussion.

I'll get straight to the point. You're fired… from the job of not reading two pieces of my writing! What a relief the second half of that sentence must have been.
Despite the disappointment of Cars 2, there's still no other animation studio making films like Pixar (how's that for a controversial statement? Next I'll be claiming that milk is "just fine for some people"). At the D23 Expo on Friday, Pixar announced two new films that will be coming out in 2013 and '14.
This comes on top of Brave, the upcoming Pixar film featuring a feisty young woman doing swordy things in medieval Scotland.
It was an American tragedy. One that started on a sunny afternoon in an Illinois suburb, when Joe Caston, 34, offered a cold Budweiser to his childhood friend Arnold Mozilo and put on some classic soft rock. At that moment, Caston couldn't have known that "Keep On Loving You" would be the last thing he would ever hear as Mozilo's thumbs brutally crushed his windpipe.

Sri Lanka to offer free visas on arrival to boost tourism
Category:	Economics
COLOMBO (Reuters) – Sri Lanka will offer free tourism visas on arrival to citizens of almost 50 countries, a government document showed on Tuesday, as it tries to woo back visitors after militant attacks on Easter Sunday.
Islamist militants on April 21 bombed churches and luxury hotels in Sri Lanka, killing more than 250 people, including 42 foreign nationals.
Several countries then issued travel advisories, undermining the crucial tourism industry. Foreign visitor arrivals in May fell 70.8 percent, the lowest since the end of Sri Lanka's civil war a decade ago.
A government document seen by Reuters showed the cabinet had agreed to scrap tourist visas, which typically cost $20 to $40 and are applied for online or at Sri Lankan embassies and consulates. Visa-free entry will be available to 48 nations, including China, India, and the United Kingdom
"The offer will remain for six months and the government will assess the loss of revenue from visas after six months," an official at the Tourism Development Ministry told Reuters.
Tourism Development Minister John Amaratunga confirmed the measure to Reuters. He added that he expects the move to boost arrivals but declined to provide details. The ministry said it did not have an estimate of its earnings from visa payments.
Tourism was Sri Lanka's third largest and fastest growing source of foreign currency last year, after private remittances and textile and garment exports, accounting for almost $4.4 billion or 4.9 percent of gross domestic product in 2018.
Tourist traffic for the first half of the year was down by 13.4 percent.
The government will officially announce the offer at 0430 GMT on Wednesday, the Tourism Development Ministry official added.
Nationals from Thailand, European Union nations, the United States, Australia, South Korea, Canada, Singapore, New Zealand, Malaysia, Switzerland, Cambodia, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and Russia are among the 48 nations included in the measure.

Meet Morad. Co-founder and head surf instructor at Azrac Surf Morocco.
Originally from North Morocco and self-acclaimed surf addict, Morad grew up surfing the waves of Mehdia - a great selection of breaks with pumping swells all year round. His favourite food is Tagine and he speaks 4 languages - including German!
I first started bodyboarding when I was 12, then began stand up surfing 4 years later. I could never afford a surfboard at that age, so I would ask surfers I met on the beach if I could use their board. I always remember surfing a piece of wood that I found lying around on the beach - It was so much fun! My local beach was 4km from my house, so I would walk with my brothers and friends from the village in search of waves.
What's your favourite surf spot?
I love surfing the local breaks of Taghazout/Tamraght - especially Killer point in winter - but my favourite spots are 'Sharatan' and 'Moon' which are breaks in my hometown of Mehdia. The swell gets really big there in the winter, and you can surf big waves with just a few other surfers out.
What made you decide to become a surf instructor?
I spent 9 years working as a lifeguard, so spent literally all my time at the beach - working my shift and then surfing as soon as I finished. Surfing is a big part of my life, and it's really cool to be able to surf as part of my job, and be able to share my passion with others.
Morad doing what he loves!
I'm a big fan of Rob Machado - I really like his style and love his surf films. He's a great role model and I think it's really cool that he helps people through surfing, and doesn't just think about the money like some surfers these days.
Probably around 3.5m - It was a few years ago at a break near my home in Mehdia. I love surfing the winter swells back home, as there's so much power in the wave.
What's the best thing about surfing?
It's a great sport to watch and even better to take part in. Every surfer has their own unique style, so it's really individual. It's a great way to keep your body healthy and relieve stress - once you're in the water, you just forget everything and focus on the waves. Plus it's a great feeling to be part of an energy that you have no control over!
Why should surfers visit Morocco?
There are a great selection of spots for all levels - from beginner to advanced - and there's a great surf culture here with a local surf community that makes everyone feel welcome! Plus it's sunny all year round and we have amazing cuisine! The Moroccan culture is very warm and welcoming, and everyone should experience it!
Thinking of a surf trip to Morocco? Got a question for Morad?

In Nagaland, a school teaches urban kids to get their hands dirty, for all the right reasons
In Nagaland's Phek district, an annual farm school teaches the urban millennial the value of food on their plates.
Written by Tora Agarwala
Guwahati | Updated: July 4, 2018 21:53 IST
Summer Farm School students at the wet terrace field in Nagaland's Chizami village.
Just three days back, 17-year-old Saoyang Huang, a 12th standard student of Dimapur's Livingstone Foundation School, made a resolve not to waste food. A week in the paddy fields of Chizami village located in the Nagaland's Phek District last month, has made the youngster realise "how hard a farmer works to feed all of us." "We would wake up at 6.30 am, go for a walk (that was our quiet time!) and later in the day, we would work in the paddy fields. Sometimes it would rain, but we would continue working anyway," he says.
Back in Dimapur now, after his week-long stay at the Summer Farm School (SFS) conducted by NGO North East Network (NEN) in the small hamlet of Chizami 150 km away, Huang still manages to wake up early. He says, "But even if you wake up at 4 am here, it is not the same. You don't get 'quiet time.'"
The idea of the Summer Farm School is rooted in the NEN's larger plan for promoting agro-biodiversity farming.
For the organisers of the Summer Farm School, though, it's a job well done. "We do not expect all young people to become farmers. But we do want them to become responsible, young consumers," says Seno Tsuhah, who has worked with the Chizami chapter of NEN from the beginning. She adds that 70 per cent of Nagaland's population depends on agriculture. She says, "It is important to strengthen sustainable agricultural practices. Especially in a place like Nagaland where there is so much scope for it."
NEN's work in Chizami, which started in 1999, was initially in the field of womens' reproductive health. Today, it also works to mobilise thousands of Naga women from the unorganised sector in Phek, Dimapur and Kohima to build livelihood skills such as weaving, as well as agriculture.
The idea of the Summer Farm School is rooted in the organisation's larger plan for promoting agro-biodiversity farming. "We are looking to combine the modern and traditional," says Seno, and thus involving young, urban people is crucial.
Of course, it was not easy. "When we first started out in 2016, while everyone said it was 'wonderful', no one really signed up. So we practically had to hunt for people," says Akole Tsuhah, another member of NEN. "The response in the second year was marginally better but we had almost zero representation from urban areas, and that really did not serve our purpose. But in 2018, we got amazing response — and all from city-based kids!" she says, adding that the school is open to anyone from any part of the country, but till then "they had only received responses primarily from Nagaland."
Students learning about herbal plants on one of the biodiversity walks.
The week-long program titled "Bridging the Field-to-Plate Gap" had their third edition conclude on July 2 and included lectures, walks, and most importantly, practical training in the fields for the group of 22 students between ages 15 and 20. "Most of these kids have never set foot in paddy fields, and it is a very hands-on program that starts early in the morning and ends late evening but it was heartening to see how all of them expressed that they did not want to go back home at all," says Akole.
The other activities included sessions on how to maintain a honey bee colony, understand soil management, how to transplant paddy as well as walks where the students learn how to identify and document edible herbs. "Urban children rarely get a chance to connect to ground realities, and our initiative is a step in that direction," says Seno, "We found that no young people work in agriculture and our school was one way to remedy that."
22 students participated in the 3rd edition of NEN's Summer Farm School.
Towards the end of the week, most students, including Huang, pledged to start their own gardens back home. He insists that he now knows "the value of the food on his plate." "We just waste food for no reason. And it's a pity we have to work in the fields to realise how wrong that is," he says.

Q: When the before value is not 1 then impute the before value in place of current value until next non 1 value is found in R The input vector is as below,
data=c(1,1,1,1,11,1,1,1,1,12,1,1,2,1,1,1)
I want the output as 1,1,1,1,11,11,11,11,11,12,12,12,2,2,2,2 where the 1's proceeding the non 1's should be imputed the non 1 value in R.
I tried the following code
data=c(1,1,1,1,11,1,1,1,1,12,1,1,2,1,1,1)
sapply(data, function(x) ifelse (lag(x)!=1,lag(x),x))

but it didn't yield expected output

A: You can convert every 1 after the first non-1 value to NA then use zoo::na.locf():
library(zoo)

x <- c(1,1,1,1,11,1,1,1,1,12,1,1,2,1,1,1)

data[seq_along(x) > which.max(x!= 1) & x== 1] <- NA
na.locf(x)

[1]  1  1  1  1 11 11 11 11 11 12 12 12  2  2  2  2

Or using replace() to add the NA values:
na.locf(replace(x, seq_along(x) > which.max(x != 1) & x == 1, NA))

In response to your comment about applying it to groups, you can use ave():
df <- data.frame(x = c(x, rev(x)), grp = rep(1:2, each = length(x)))

ave(df$x, df$grp, FUN = function(y)
    na.locf(replace(y, seq_along(y) > which.max(y != 1) & y == 1, NA))
)

A: You can write your custom fill function:
x <- c(1,1,1,1,11,1,1,1,1,12,1,1,2,1,1,1)

myfill <- function(x) {
  mem <- x[1]
  for (i in seq_along(x)) {
    if (x[i] == 1) {
      x[i] <- mem
    } else {
      mem <- x[i]
    }
  }
  x
}
myfill(x)
# 1  1  1  1 11 11 11 11 11 12 12 12  2  2  2  2

A: You could match unique 1 and non-1 values with the cumsum of non-1 values.
(c(1, x[x != 1]))[match(cumsum(x != 1), 0:3)]
# [1]  1  1  1  1 11 11 11 11 11 12 12 12  2  2  2  2

Data
x <- c(1, 1, 1, 1, 11, 1, 1, 1, 1, 12, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1)

A: You can use rle from base to overwrite 1 with the value before.
x <- rle(data)
y <- c(FALSE, (x$values == 1)[-1])
x$values[y]  <- x$values[which(y)-1]
inverse.rle(x)

Douglas Sabo, @dsabo, VP Head of Corporate Responsibility & Philanthropy, Visa Inc.
When you think of humanitarian aid, you may think of tents, food parcels and water tanks. But there's a growing push to give people cash – to allow them to determine what they need most, and in what form.
Questions remain about how cash works in practice: Is giving cash to people in humanitarian crises effective? Is it safe, accountable and transparent? Do people spend money on the 'right' things? Is it more open to corruption and diversion to armed groups? Does giving cash affect inflation and market prices? Can cash be scaled up globally and what does it mean for the humanitarian system?
Join cash experts, humanitarian aid workers, academics and policymakers, as they debate how and why cash works. They'll also discuss the findings of a new report by a panel of experts, 'Doing cash differently: how cash transfers can transform humanitarian aid'.
Want more? Attend our launch event the following day, which will seek to chart out a path for scaling up humanitarian cash transfers in the future.

'Stay at home at all times': Government issues stark new shielding advice for extremely vulnerable in Tier 4

Stark new shielding advice issued for people in Tier 4 areas
Clinically extremely vulnerable people told to 'stay at home at all times'
It's in response to new variant of COVID-19 that is 70% more transmissible and prevalent in London, South East and East of England
Visit the Yahoo homepage for more stories
Clinically extremely vulnerable people in Tier 4 areas have been told to "stay at home at all times" in stark new coronavirus shielding advice released on Monday.
The government guidelines read: "This group of the most vulnerable is strongly advised to stay at home at all times, unless for exercise or medical appointments, and not to attend work, even if they are unable to work from home."
It comes after Boris Johnson introduced a new Tier 4 on Saturday in response to a new variant of the virus that is up to 70% more transmissible than the original strain.
Monday's advice is the same as the shielding guidelines issued during November's national lockdown.
Watch: 2020: The year of the pandemic
It urges the clinically extremely vulnerable in those Tier 4 areas in London, the South East and the East of England against:
socialising. People are urged to stay at home as much as possible, except to go outdoors to exercise or attend health appointments
going to work. If people can't work from home, they are asked to check their eligibility for Statutory Sick Pay, Employment and Support Allowance, Universal Credit or the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme
going to school
visiting shops or pharmacies. The government said "support is available for those who need it while they remain at home"
There is no formal shielding advice currently in place for people in areas outside Tier 4.
Clinically extremely vulnerable people include those whose immune systems may be suppressed, or those with specific cancers or severe respiratory conditions, such as cystic fibrosis. A full list is available on the government website.

The Spanish soccer federation suspended Lionel Messi for two matches on Tuesday after he hit an opponent in an incident away from the ball in the Spanish Super Cup final. The Barcelona forward was facing a suspension of up to 12 matches for swinging his arm at an Athletic Bilbao player at the end of the team's 3-2 loss on Sunday. The federation's competition committee did not deem the incident to be severe and applied a less severe penalty against the player. After passing the ball out to the left flank, Messi swung his right arm at the head of Athletic forward Asier Villalibre as they ran toward the box. Villalibre immediately fell to the ground and after a video review, Messi was given his first red card in 753 appearances for Barcelona. Referee Gil Manzano said in his match report that Messi hit his opponent with "excessive force" while the ball was not near him. Messi will miss Barcelona's match against third-division club Cornellà in the Copa del Rey and against Elche in the Spanish league. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press
MADRID — Atlético Madrid appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport on Tuesday to suspend Kieran Trippier's ban for breaching betting rules. Atlético filed its appeal to CAS a day after FIFA rejected the Spanish club's attempt to keep the ban imposed on the defender by the English Football Association from being applied worldwide. The England international was punished by the FA for passing information on his 2019 transfer from Tottenham to Atletico to be used by friends to bet on. Spanish league leader Atlético succeeded two weeks ago in getting FIFA to pause Trippier's 10-week ban that was imposed in December and runs through Feb. 28. As it stands, Trippier would miss nine more games, including the Champions League fixture against Chelsea in the round of 16 on Feb. 23. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports The Associated Press

Welcome Back! Trevor Noah Is Hosting the Grammy Awards Again in 2022
Trevor Noah Is Hosting the 2022 Grammy Awards
December 1, 2021 by Naledi Ushe
It's official: Trevor Noah is set to take center stage as the host of the 64th annual Grammy Awards on Jan. 31! It will mark The Daily Show's host second time cracking pandemic-era jokes, poking fun at the nominees, and keeping us entertained during music's biggest night. Fingers crossed that Noah gets a live audience to give him the loud cheering he deserves to hear in person. In a GRAMMY.com statement, CEO of the Recording Academy Harvey Mason Jr. said: "Trevor was amazing as our host for the 63rd Grammy Awards with praise from the music community, music fans, and critics. We're so excited to welcome Trevor back to the GRAMMYs stage and feel fortunate to once again have him hosting what we believe will be an unforgettable evening."
On Dec. 1, Noah appeared on CBS, where he joked that he hesitated when deciding whether or not to host again. "First of all, it's a front-row ticket to the best music concert of all time," he said. Noah also [joked]-can we replace with another word since we already used "joked"? his job is to "lift Kevin Hart into his seat" and be "JAY-Z's emotional support." And he's right, I'm sure JAY-Z, aka the most-nominated artist in Grammy history, needs Noah as his hypeman for the night. We can't wait to see what tricks Noah has up his sleeve when he returns to host the Grammys in 2022. In the meantime, check out all the nominations here!

Acts 9:27 Cross References
« Acts 9:26 |	Acts 9:28 » | Compare: NIV, KJV, NLT, NKJV, NRSV, ESV | Cross references home
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.
Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness,
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord's brother.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.
and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
and when James and Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.
Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me.
Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?
But Paul and Barnabas remained in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also. And after some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return and visit the brothers in every city where we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are." Now Barnabas wanted to take with them John called Mark. But Paul thought best not to take with them one who had withdrawn from them in Pamphylia and had not gone with them to the work. And there arose a sharp disagreement, so that they separated from each other. Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus,
it has seemed good to us, having come to one accord, to choose men and send them to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul, men who have risked their lives for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ.
And after Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and debate with them, Paul and Barnabas and some of the others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and the elders about this question.
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."
And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when they had completed their service, bringing with them John, whose other name was Mark.
So Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul,
The report of this came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.
And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God." And all who heard him were amazed and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?" But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ.
So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."
Acts 9:3-6
Now as he went on his way, he approached Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. And falling to the ground he heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?" And he said, "Who are you, Lord?" And he said, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But rise and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do."


Fishing or riding in a boat should provide relaxation. Traveling on a pleasure boat should be just that: pleasurable. When those sharing the water with you act negligently or a design defect causes a collision, a day of recreation becomes tragic. Victims of such tragedies come to Gainsburgh, Benjamin, David, Meunier & Warshauer, L.L.C., suffering the effects of physical injuries. Others are grieving the loss of a loved one in a boating accident.
Our job is to respond with thorough investigation and legal action to build strong, fact-based claims, often for trial. Our clients focus on recovery while we focus on identifying the party responsible and holding them accountable.
Injuries in a boating accident on the Gulf Coast or an area lake can range from broken bones to spinal cord injuries leading to paralysis. If a victim is rendered unconscious, he or she also runs the risk of a fatal drowning. Accidents on recreational vessels can be caused by a combination of drinking and boating or Jet Skiing. Mechanical failures can lead to collisions with trees, stumps or sandbars.
The trial lawyers at Gainsburgh, Benjamin, David, Meunier & Warshauer, L.L.C., fight to even the odds you face. The opposition may be well-funded. We employ the resources necessary to effectively challenge any and all obstacles put before us.

Schenectady priest accused of child sex abuse dead at 91
ALBANY (NY)
Times Union
By Cayla Harris
Francis P. Melfe, the former Schenectady priest targeted in multiple child sex abuse claims, died Friday. He was 91.
A private service was held Tuesday morning at Cannon Funeral Home, followed by a burial at Our Lady of Angels Cemetery in Albany. About a dozen people attended the interment, a brief Catholic ceremony held at the far end of the cemetery.
Melfe, who resigned from the priesthood in 1979, has been at the center of multiple accusations of child sex abuse lodged against the Albany Diocese in recent months, as New York's recently enacted Child Victims Act has allowed survivors of all ages to sue their alleged offenders.

Kroger and Ocado Break Ground on America's First High-Tech Customer Fulfillment Center
PR Newswire June 12, 2019
New Southwest Ohio facility expected to create more than 400 new jobs, will become operational in spring 2021
CINCINNATI, June 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (KR), America's largest grocery retailer, and Ocado (OCDO.L), one of the world's largest dedicated online grocery retailers, today broke ground on America's first customer fulfillment center (CFC).
Kroger and Ocado Break Ground on America's First High-Tech Customer Fulfillment Center in Monroe, OH.
"Kroger is incredibly excited to reach this meaningful milestone in our Restock Kroger vision to serve America through food inspiration and uplift," said Rodney McMullen, Kroger's chairman and CEO. "Our partnership with Ocado will introduce transformative ecommerce, fulfillment and logistics technology in the U.S. and bring customers fresher food faster than ever before, accelerating our ability to provide anything, anytime, anywhere."
Kroger's first CFC – an automated warehouse facility with digital and robotic capabilities, also known as a shed – is being constructed in Monroe, OH. The CFC model will be replicated to serve customers across America. Kroger intends to open 20 CFCs to support its vision to create a seamless customer experience. Two additional sites have been selected in the Central Florida and Mid-Atlantic regions.
Kroger is investing $55 million to build its first shed, which will measure 335,000 square feet and is expected to generate more than 400 new jobs.
"This is a historic moment for our partnership. With construction starting for Kroger's first customer fulfillment center in the Cincinnati region, we are now well on the way to a nationwide revolution in how Kroger customers experience ecommerce," said Luke Jensen, CEO of Ocado Solutions. "In a fast-developing landscape for grocery retail, Kroger's determination to continue delivering the best experience for its customers, online as in stores, is unparalleled. I am excited that we will shortly bring the world-class innovation of the Ocado Smart Platform to their operations, as well as create exciting opportunities for engineers and technologists across the country to work with Ocado's cutting edge robotics and automation."
"Ohio is a premier destination for businesses to grow, and I welcome Kroger and Ocado's decision to choose the Cincinnati region for this exciting project," said Ohio Governor Mike DeWine. "This is a state-of-the-art facility that represents the intersection of Ohio's budding tech and food sectors and the next step in advancing Kroger customers' shopping experiences."
"The Kroger-Ocado partnership brings advanced technology to Monroe along with the Kroger grocery name that our residents recognize," said William Brock, Monroe City Manager. "This facility reinforces that Monroe can provide workforce solutions to meet the needs of an innovative company, and we appreciate the investment in our community."
"Kroger has selected Ryan Companies US, Inc. to design and build the shed, with the design of the Ohio facility serving as a model for future projects," said Todd Schell, Senior Vice President of Industrial for Ryan Companies. "We are excited that Ryan will partner with Kroger to design and build this innovative and complex facility to support the company's accelerated growth in grocery ecommerce."
"Kroger is proud to choose our home state of Ohio as the location for the first-of-its-kind customer fulfillment center in America," continued McMullen. "We thank Governor Mike DeWine, JobsOhio, REDI and the Monroe City Council for supporting this project. Kroger is committed to helping position Ohio, Cincinnati and our region as landmarks for innovation, further advancing the area's digital and technology ecosystem."
In May 2018, Kroger and Ocado announced their alliance to bring Ocado's innovation and technologies to the U.S.

« Fashionista NOW: How To Wear That Earthy PINK?
Because we can't all be too cotton-candy all the time.
Mesh tops of the dress or tunic variety seen on street style bloggers of late have a distinct look about them as they're often styled deliberately casually with jeans. Or some other casual bottomwear option. At first, I didn't particularly like the embroidered mesh tunic look as it seemed heavy but I found that there are black mesh tops without the presence of embroidery which you can wear with your denims to nail that dark punk queen vibe.
With the latest black mesh tops that are designed purposely sheer around the sleeve, shoulder and hem area, they offer a way to make your OOTD fun visually with a tease of textural interest. The sheer see-through mesh allows for a creative take on layering. You can be as risque or safe as you want and slay the trend like the fashionista you are. With the basic black mesh tops I'm showing you down below, they will no doubt be your dressy blouse go-to in no time as anything in black is lethally versatile. Sweet mesh makes it a plus.
Not to forget, there is a floatiness in the mesh fabric itself that lends an ethereal dreamy feel to a look that has it. In black mesh style tops, a certain broody dark elegance can imbue your outfit as it complements your mysterious aura. So, ladies, if you're in Malaysia, then these are FOUR mesh top styles in basic black that you can grab now real quick on ZALORA!
Which black mesh top would you love to wear? Share below – I'd love to know!

blues, interview 15 January 2018 15 January 2018
Interview: Emily Burgess, "Are We in Love"
With her new album, "Are We in Love?," Toronto-based blues guitarist Emily Burgess has stormed onto the scene with a vengeance. This absolutely phenomenal album is a tour de force, and if folks weren't paying attention before, this project should definitely get their attention.
Although this album would probably be cataloged in the blues section in a record store, Emily explores several different genres on this project, and any fan of roots and rock will feel equally at home with these songs. Add to Emily's considerable talent the fact that the album was produced by The Weber Brothers (for whom she is currently guitarist), and there is a definite recipe for success here.
The album opens with "Til I Get to Call You My Own," a traditional enough blues tune in terms of rhythm and instrumentation. Emily's terrific singing, however, raises this song well above average. (Not to mention her guitar chops, which are impressive and varied, as you'll hear on this album.) "I Wanna Make You Mine" leans more toward rock toward blues, while the title track allows Emily to show a quieter, even pop-focused side (with some really lovely acoustic guitar work).
"All I Wanna Do Is Love You" shifts the mood yet again to a hard-hitting rocker of a song… if you aren't dancing to this one within a minute or so, I'd be really surprised. "Only One in Your Dreams" is a terrific 21st-century love song and bluesy ode to that fidelity that so many of us seek in our relationships, pointed without being heavy. Although all the songs on the album are excellent, for me the closer "What Has Been Is All Within" is an acoustic delight, with gorgeous string accompaniment to match.
It would be really easy for an album this diverse to feel unfocused or choppy, but Emily's singing – by turns sassy, tender, and rocking – makes this a truly enjoyable introduction to a tremendously talented artist. I'm really looking forward to seeing how she develops as a musician over the next several years; if this album is any preview of what's to come, great things are ahead. Highly recommended.
We're so pleased that Emily took the time to talk with us about her album.
Your album was produced by The Weber Brothers – how was the experience of working with them?
Working with the Weber Brothers was a no brainer for me! I have played in the Weber Brothers Band for 3 years now, so we are very close friends and bandmates. They have been integral to the whole process of developing my voice, playing, and songwriting – I didn't sing at all until they encouraged it. Both Ryan and Sam are world class musicians just have endless ideas for what can be done with a song. We had a lot of fun making the album, along with Rico Browne on keys and Marcus Browne on drums, who are also Weber Brothers band members. James McKenty was the engineer and his ear was really important to the project as well.
What drew you to blues specifically as your focus? Are there specific musicians who inspired you to go down this particular musical road?
Being a teenager and learning the guitar, my heroes were Stevie Ray Vaughan, Johnny Winter, Jimi Hendrix, just to name a few. Playing with The 24th Street Wailers for many years really got me zoned in on playing blues as well. At this time I feel like writing and performing original songs is my focus, in whatever style they may be.
The title track is a surprise if one listens through the album in order… an acoustic ballad that's really set off by its placement between harder rocking blues tracks. Do you have preference for one style over the other, or do you love both?
Yeah those ones are definitely contrasting. I don't have any style preference, and don't think much about what style a song will fit into. I just write what comes and hope that it's good!
I always hate picking favorites on albums (mostly because I can't ever narrow it down) but I really love the album's closer, "What Has Been Is All Within." Were there particular experiences that inspired this song?
I'm glad you like it! I did have a specific situation in mind with that one, but generally speaking it boils down to appreciating your past and knowing it's safe and sound in your heart and memories, but not clinging onto it. Regardless of what I was writing about, I think it's relatable for anyone who has experienced loss and can be interpreted a few ways.
You've participated in the Women's Blues Revue for several years now. There are so many exceptionally talented female blues artists in Canada (yourself included) – do you feel like the playing field is level for you/them?
Everyone has their own experience – in mine I have felt that it's a level playing field. It's not an easy job and it takes an incredible amount of work for any musician to be successful. I do always joke that I could write a book about all the ridiculous comments and experiences I have had as a woman playing music, but that's more of an annoyance than setback, and I know every other woman working as a musician could do the same.
We often ask musicians about their gear – what guitars do you play most frequently?
I play my Gibson ES 339 almost exclusively, I usually find a guitar and stick to it. Before I got the Gibson in 2013 I only ever played Strats! So I have a Deluxe Fender Stratocaster and a Mexican Strat as well.
You have a number of live gigs coming up in the next several weeks; are there any you're especially excited about?
I'm definitely just looking forward to getting out there and playing. I have played in most the venues already, but never with my own group so that is exciting in itself. The band I'm touring with is myself, Rico and Marcus Browne. They are such fantastic musicians and hilarious people to be around.

Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council

Leadership: Leader & Cabinet
Executive: Labour
MPs: Adrian Bailey, Sylvia Heal, John Spellar, Tom Watson
Sandwell is a metropolitan borough in the West Midlands of England. It is made up of the Black Country towns of Oldbury (where the council has its headquarters), Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Tipton, Wednesbury and West Bromwich. Sandwell is divided into 24 wards and is represented by 72 ward councillors.
The borough was formed on April 1, 1974 as a merger of the county boroughs of Warley and West Bromwich, previously in Staffordshire. The local council has considered changing its name in the past, as many people outside of the West Midlands are confused as to where it is located. However, since no single town dominates the borough, no new name could be agreed upon.
One of Sandwell's most famous residents was Francis Asbury 1745-1816 who left the Great Barr area of Sandwell in 1771 for America where he rose to become the first Methodist Bishop in the United States.
Localities in the borough include:
Bearwood, Blackheath, Brandhall

Although writing has been around for a long time, paper has not. In fact, putting thoughts down in written form wasn't always easy or practical. This program looks at the invention and evolution of paper, from the early forms of bamboo paper, made by the Chinese, to papyrus and paper made from cloth. Of course, a related question had also evolved over time: how do we put things on paper? The pen itself has undergone some revolutionary changes. But paper today brings other concerns, as its production is one of the largest contributors to greenhouse gases and other pollutants; thus, we now have e-paper, the one and only non-paper...paper

Argentinian Circus Teaches People How to Recycle
Circo Reciclado, known as Recycled Circus in English, uses the combination of art and social impact in educating schoolchildren of the three Rs - reduce, reuse, and recycle - in waste management.The main show of the circus is "Reduzco, Reúso, Recirco" or "Reduce, Reuze, Recircus". It's an interactive kind of play the group performs for kindergarten and primary children in schools.According to Diego Brailovsky, the founder of the group, the show lasts up to about 45 minutes, and children learn and at the same time, have fun. Brailovsky said that while the educational institutions are usually structured, his group deals with the serious issue through an unstructured way.The group was created in 2012, and through the years, it has performed in around 400 educational institutions for over 45,000 students. Brailovsky added that it is important to share such environmental concepts to children while they are at such a young age so that they can easily commit to them. He said that while adults can also be engaged in the show, as they also perform in offices and public spaces, adults are likely to be less motivated compared to children, especially when it comes to actually taking action.As the data in the Waste Management World magazine revealed, Argentina is the Latin American country that comes second when it comes to having waste generation per capita which is 1.2 kilograms per day. It comes second to Mexico with a population that's almost three times its size. Moreover, a study by Fiuba and Ceamse indicated that 78% of the total waste of the country could be recycled if properly separated. Currently, only 56% is recovered.The duo created an English-speaking version of the show called the "Recycling Circus". In this show, they presented in 85 elementary schools in New Zealand. When they arrived back in Argentina, they continued the project with as much motivation.

David and Da'ud
The singing of psalms, as mentioned at the home page, is a longstanding and wide-spread tradition.
The psalms, like the Torah or Tawrat, are recognised in many major religions besides Christianity (1):
As tehillim they appear, of course, in the Jewish scriptures.
In Islamic writings frequent reference may be found to the zabur.
The zabur are often referred to as those of the Prophet Da'ud, who was generally revered in Islam after Mohammed, Jesus and Moses. There's a nice story of Sir James Lancaster as commander of the first English ship to reach the East Indies for trading in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. He visited Aceh in Sumatra in 1602, Islam having spread through many parts of Asia by then. He met the Sultan several times discussing matters of state and, importantly, trade. During the ceremonies associated with Lancaster's departure, the Sultan is reported to have asked him if they would sing a psalm of the Propher Da'ud. This they did and were rewarded similarly by Acinese singing their versions of a psalm.
Unfortunately, we cannot know what they sang, words or music, nor even if it was truly a psalm of David. However, from early times there are several recorded instances of use of the psalms in Islam. According to David Vishanoff, texts were drawn from early sources, probably around 800CE, and rewritten. He provides an example of Psalm 2 we sang recently. The first verse is as follows:
Why do the nations surge forth and the peoples blaze up in their zeal to conquer what is rightly the Lord's? The Lord says: what is rightly mine cannot be conquered, and my might cannot be brought low. (2)
NRSV says: Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain?
In Sura, a chapter of the Qur'an, there are mentions of Da'ud, his instruments and the echo of praise from the mountains and birds around. Other records appear in disparate places and contexts, for example:
Mohd bin Abd al-Wahab Ghassani (d.1707) describes David accompanying himself with the harp
Ali Ufki's psalms. Image: The King's Singers. Star, cross and crescent!
Evliya Çelebi (1611-82), an Ottoman Turk whose extensive travels resulted in ten-volume travelogue, describes the organ or blown pipes as associated with David's song
François Pyrard de Laval in a report of his visit to the Maldives in 1602-07 says people were singing psalms all night long
Ali Ufki's adaptations of the 1565 Genevan Psalter may be found in the British Library (3) and in modern recordings
On other pages and posts this web-site mentions synergies with Catholic, Orthodox and other traditions and their attention to sung psalms, often in the same or similar liturgical structures.
We can thus be assured that ours has proven to be a practice widely followed and valued around the world in various eras and various forms.
1. The author, no expert on these matters, is indebted to a lecture by Dr David Irving at the ANU School of Music entitled Psalms, David and ontologies of music, March 2014.
2. Translation by David Vishanoff from Ove Chr. Krarup, Auswahl Pseudo-Davidischer Psalmen (Copenhagen: G. E. C. Gad, 1909), Arabic pp. 11-14.
3. Considerably more detail of these people may be found on the Internet. Ali Ufki was particularly prolific in arranging the psalms. See a paper 'Between Calvinism and Islam: Mimicry, Hybridity and Ali Ufki's Ottoman Psalter' by Lucas G. Freire (Exeter, 21 May 2011)

Love of Family Inspires Outstanding Graduate to Specialize in Human Resources
CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas – From your first day on the job to the day you retire, it is the unsung heroes – the people who work in Human Resources (HR) department – who help navigate the many milestones of a career. Denise Rocha, who will be one of 535 students walking the stage during Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi's summer commencement ceremony on Aug. 4, hopes to one day become an "HR hero" so she can positively impact people within an organization.
After transferring to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi from the University of Texas to be closer to family as she battled a chronic illness, Rocha changed her major from biochemistry to business management. While working toward a Bachelor of Business Administration, she became captivated with the field of human resources, where she could combine her strong love of family with her fascination for numbers.
"HR creates a family feeling within the organization," expressed Rocha. "We help people feel like they belong and are being taken care of."
Rocha was selected to intern in the HR office at the Texas State Aquarium (TSA) in January 2018. During her internship, she found passion working for a non-profit organization committed to its goals, but still puts people (and in this case animals and the environment) before profits.
"I like doing things for the greater good and I want to be a part of an organization that works toward bettering the community," said Rocha. "It's rewarding when you see someone like Tom Schmid, who is president and CEO of the aquarium, pick up trash whenever he sees it. It feels good to know you're working for someone who cares."
Rocha's dependable character and trustworthiness enabled her to take on more responsibilities and extend her spring internship through the summer. Chelsea Bosworth, TSA HR coordinator and Islander alumna '17, took Rocha under her wing.
"Denise has been a spectacular intern and tremendous asset," said Bosworth. "She is an absolute joy to have in our office. She's always ready to take on projects and she's willing to come in and help, even on her days off."
Another major mentor along Rocha's path is Dr. Katherine Roberto, assistant professor of management in the College of Business.
"It's been a pleasure having Denise in a number of courses," shared Roberto. "She's hard-working and dedicated. She's going to be successful in anything she plans to do because she is dedicated."
Throughout her academic career, family has been the foundation to Rocha's success. In 2014, she graduated valedictorian at Bruni High School, near Laredo, and has been on the Dean's List at A&M-Corpus Christi multiple times. Rocha says her mother, who is a junior high math teacher and counselor, has been her rock – going above and beyond to provide emotional support, financial assistance and strength while Rocha balanced school and doctor's appointments. Her grandfather, who was also her high school math teacher, also guided her every step of the way.
"My mother and grandfather have shaped who I am today," expressed Rocha. "They taught me not only how to succeed in the real world and in school but also how to be a strong person."
During her time at the Island University, Rocha was inducted to both Phi Kappa Phi, which is the nation's oldest and most selective multidisciplinary collegiate honor society, and Beta Gamma Sigma, which is the International Business Honor Society. After graduation, Rocha looks forward to pursing a master's degree as she continues her journey to become an HR director for a non-profit organization and then, one day, an entrepreneur with her own restaurant or retail location.
"Hard work pays off," said Rocha. "I tell my sister, who is 13, to go the extra mile in high school so she's prepared to succeed in college. If you work diligently toward your goals, you can accomplish everything you want."


The decision is likely to lead to another period of frantic activity and installations for many in the industry. The original announcement was made back in November and provided just over 1 month for installers to complete their installations. As a result more PV installation were completed in November than for previous months in 2011.
"Both this appeal and the Judicial Review in The High Court would not have been required had DECC simply followed its own process and allowed the industry, that it claims to support, time to prepare for a lower feed-in tariff," continued Green.
This is and will be the key aim for the industry moving forwards.
**UPDATE: 12.30pm: The government within the last hour has confirmed they intend to appeal this decision. As such this again throws uncertainty over whether or not PV installations will qualify for the higher tariff despite the fact it is highly unlikely the government will win this appeal.

Transfer window wide open for Steaua. Two done, more to follow!
December 21, 2011 Radu Baicu	Leave a comment
Steaua parted ways with George Galamaz, the centre-back who moved on a free transfer to Universitatea Cluj as soon as the competition stopped, but the former champion with Unirea Urziceni makes way to one of the most promising central defenders in the country.
With appearances for the likes of International Pitesti and Pandurii, Chiriches managed to play a solid game against France.
Vlad Chiriches had signed with the red and blue outfit for a few months and the fresh Romanian international has now completed his move from Pandurii Targu Jiu. He teams-up with a certain Florin Gardos, a player who was basically at the same level a few months ago, but will hope for better fortunes, as Gardos has failed to regain his place in the team, after an impressive debut season.
The second finalized deal involves Alexandru Chipciu, a 23 years old wide midfielder, something Steaua definitely needed, but there's an interesting issue here: Chipciu has played the majority of his games on the left side, a place occupied by Cristian Tanase, one of the highest rated players in Ilie Stan's team. Just like Tanase, he's also right footed, and there's no way he was bought to compete with Steaua's number 10. That would mean that the club just paid the reported 1,5 million Euros for a player who is not used to play on the right side of the midfield? Wouldn't be too surprised, but those who expect an instant impact from Chipciu should have the common sense to offer him some time to adjust…
Wtith over 2 million Euros paid for 2 players, one in an area that was very well covered, Steaua needs some more money to make the team competitive. There's a desperate need for a reliable right back, with Ifeanyi Emeghara unrealiable, Novak Martinovic not gifted for the role and Gabriel Matei out injured for a long period. There's nobody in the centre of the park able to either play box-to-box or show at least some playmaking ability. Pablo Brandan, who's just a versatile left back is now in the position to pull the strings in the middle, with Alexandru Bourceanu very hard working, but limited on the ball.
In spite of all this, Gigi Becali is now very close to adding a new forward to a team that definitely doesn't lack options upfront. But, if he indeed gets FC Vaslui's Wesley, one of the best players in the league, it's worth the extra investment. This is the sort of buy that can provide an instant return in terms of result, exactly what Steaua needs in order to have a chance to make up for the 8 points gap currently separating them from the Liga I leaders, their arch-rivals, Dinamo.

Can a Common Cancer Screening Be Used to Detect Rheumatoid Arthritis?
New research shows that PET scans — a type of imaging primarily used to diagnose or monitor cancer — might also be able to spot RA.
If you have ever heard of a PET scan, then you have likely heard of it in relation to cancer.
PET imaging (positron emission tomography imaging) historically has been used to look for or monitor cancer presence or progression.
Recently, it was found that PET scans may also be able to detect rheumatoid arthritis (RA) by using an innovative new technology.
A South Korean research team developed a special targeted tracer, also called an imaging agent, that is specific to RA and can also be read in a PET scan.
The tracer highlights the translocator proteins produced when white blood cells are active in the inflamed joints of RA patients.
These proteins and the white blood cells become active as a part of the autoimmune response associated with RA and similar illnesses.
The Korean research team's discovery was published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine.
Activating macrophages
The agent they invented is known as F-FEDAC.
They are calling it a "targeting agent for activated macrophages."
The macrophages become activated due to immune malfunction associated with the rheumatoid disease process.
The F-FEDAC agent helps spot these activated macrophages and, as a result, can locate RA activity. This could prove to be useful in monitoring or diagnosing the disease.
The Korean scientists monitored collagen-induced mice and noted that the uptake of F-FEDAC was clearly associated with the severity of RA disease. While rodent models in research aren't always indicative of how a treatment or technology will play out in humans, they can often serve as a jumping-off point for more research in human patients.
The scientists concluded that this imaging agent in PET scans for RA enabled good visualization of active inflammation in affected arthritic joints. This suggests that the process may have potential in being useful for imaging in the early phases of RA.
Useful with other forms of arthritis
Researchers from Stanford University also recently found that PET scans can be useful in detecting another form of arthritis — OA, or osteoarthritis — at an earlier phase than ever before.
Their findings, "Quantitative imaging of bone–cartilage interactions in ACL-injured patients with PET–MRI," appear in an April edition of Osteoarthritis and Cartilage.
Researchers say that a PET-MRI provides excellent, high-resolution morphologic information in patients with OA.
PET-MRI scans may also serve as a way to monitor quantitative metrics relating to early biochemical changes in soft tissues affected in arthritis patients.
The lead researcher of the Stanford study said in a statement, "Given the importance of detecting early stage OA disease in all joint tissues, there is great interest in evaluating bone remodeling as a marker of early bone degeneration and its potential as a target for disease modifying therapies. As a result, there is an urgent need to develop diagnostic technologies able to quantitatively evaluate early changes in bone remodeling and its role in degenerative changes observed in adjacent tissues."
So, they studied early metabolic and cellular changes in both bone and cartilage by simultaneously using positron emission tomography (PET) in conjunction with magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI imaging.
The combination seems to have worked well for looking at OA.
While osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are different diseases, sometimes patients have both.
And sometimes, the types of imaging used to monitor or diagnose these diseases may overlap, whether it's X-ray, CT scan, MRI, bone scans, ultrasound, or, now, PET scans.
So far, the Arthritis Foundation has not added PET scans to its list of imaging scans used to diagnose various forms of arthritis.
Dr. Philip Conaghan, a rheumatologist, told the Arthritis Foundation, "Both MRI and ultrasound are more sensitive at detecting bone erosion than X-ray. In addition, they also reveal inflammation, which we could not see directly before and had to rely on blood tests and using our fingers to feel the joints."
But while PET scans aren't commonly used for RA or OA just yet, the new research out of South Korea and Stanford University may hold promise for patients and rheumatologists alike.
