This is the biggest split I have ever seen in Scottish politics
The dispute between Alex Salmond and Nicola Sturgeon is about personality and some in the SNP think it is about destruction.
Alex Salmond gave evidence to Holyrood committee on Friday. STV News
Salmond has 'no doubt' Sturgeon broke ministerial code
Salmond tells MSPs 'Scotland's leadership has failed'
Sturgeon: Crown Office influence claims 'downright wrong'
Sturgeon tells Salmond to 'provide evidence' for claims
Alex Salmond is one of the biggest figures in modern Scottish politics – he is the country's longest-serving First Minister and led the SNP for 20 years.
Nicola Sturgeon served her political apprenticeship during his first term as leader and was his deputy for a decade before taking over as First Minister herself.
So this is the biggest split I have ever seen in Scottish politics.
The SNP split in the 1980s when the 79 Group including Alex Salmond was expelled – but that was about ideology and direction.
This is a much bigger split – it is about personality and some in the SNP think it is about destruction. They think Salmond is trying to bring the house down. He thinks it is about an attempt to destroy him.
Salmond finally had his say on Friday, giving evidence to the committee investigating the Government's botched handling of sexual harassment complaints against him.
Among the key exchanges at the Holyrood committee, Salmond said the name of one of the original complainers was shared at the first meeting with Sturgeon – she denied that yesterday at FMQs.
The First Minister will face further questions on this when she is at the committee on Wednesday.
Salmond made it clear he felt there should have been resignations – specifically the Permanent Secretary, the Lord Advocate, and those who he believes were part of a malicious scheme against him including the SNP chief executive Peter Murrell.
He believes the First Minister has broken the ministerial code – that is the biggest threat to her through the independent investigation being led by former Irish director of public prosecutions James Hamilton.
Senior figures in Government admit privately that could force her to quit just before the Holyrood election – they don't think it will. But there is still a doubt, to the extent that it's difficult for the SNP to plan their election leaflets for example.
And we saw in that STV News/Ipsos MORI poll yesterday – this row might not have hit the SNP's poll ratings, or boosted the opposition much so far, but more than a third of those questioned last week did say that it made them less favourable towards the SNP. So this week it's a story breaking out of the political bubble.
And politically – everything is at stake here.
Sturgeon will be at this committee on Wednesday to tell her side of the story.
She says it's her chance to set the record straight.

10 Android games worth paying for
Image: 1337 & Senri
By Anna Washenko 2014-11-25 10:27:21 UTC
Mobile devices might just be the next big frontier for video games. Sure, the free app charts on Google Play might still be dominated by casual games that simply idle away the time. But a dedicated gamer can find plenty to enjoy. After all, as the hardware inside smartphones and tablets gets more advanced, it can actually start to match the performance you need for more complex gaming experiences.
See also: The 6 Coolest Co-Op Games for PS4
For just a few bucks, Android owners can have access to an impressive library of top-notch games. Here are ten that are well worth your time and money.
1. Baldur's Gate
If you like any other RPGs, you'll want to see where the genre's roots begin. The Enhanced Edition of Balder's Gate for $9.99 is steep for a mobile app, but it includes the original game in its entirety and several expansions. You can even dive into the multiplayer mode across platforms, gaming with friends on Windows, Mac, or iPad while from Android. Gather your allies, hone your skills, and enjoy this video game classic in the most modern way.
2. Minecraft - Pocket Edition
A few years ago, the idea of Minecraft being as epic on your phone as on PC was laughable. Today, the developers at Mojang have updated the mobile version to be just as capable of insanely imaginative creations as the heavy-duty hardware. It'll run you just $6.99 for countless hours of building entertainment.
3. The Room
This was one of the first titles to take mobile seriously as a game platform. The complexity of the mechanics and puzzles, all clearly designed to take best advantage of a touch screen, proved that smartphones could offer great experiences even to discerning gamers. If the one game isn't enough for you, check out its sequel, The Room Two. The original from Fireproof Games is also a steal at just 99 cents and the follow-up is $2.99.
4. Machinarium
Despite being around since 2009, Machinarium is still a great adventure game that translates beautifully to mobile play. Especially on the large screens of Android devices, you'll have an easy time spotting the objects you need to solve puzzles and navigate the intricate hand-drawn world. The game costs $4.99.
5. The Cave
Double Fine Productions has proven its prowess as great game creators, and The Cave was a great entry in the puzzle genre. You'll have to descend into the depths implied by the title and make your way using the special skills of your set of adventurers. Each different configuration of characters means different ways to explore. The game was initially available on consoles, but also migrated to Android mobile devices for just $4.99.
6. rymdkapsel
This was a favorite mobile game release of ours from 2013, and it's just as challenging and compelling today. Build a station that can sustain your small, rectangular crew and protect them against growing waves of enemies. Most games set in space opt for a flashy, metallic look, but rymdkapsel has an unusual combination of colorfulness and minimalism. For just $3.99, it's a lovely example of how strategy and design can meet.
7. Out There
Out There is another tale of space survival, but you traverse the galaxy rather than hunker down in a fortress. You'll need to gather and preserve resources in this futuristic adventure as you try to solve the mystery of how you go there. The genre is one that we've seen many times before, but this example stands out for its unique art style that harkens back to comic books. The game costs $3.99.
8. Leo's Fortune
This charming platformer follows the adventure of a strange, fluffy blue fellow named Leo who has lost a vast amount of gold. He traverses many devious levels on his way to find which of his family members might have off with the treasure. The Android launch was accompanied by a trailer with a Rube Goldberg machine made by Brett Doar. Don't know the name? He made similarly fantastical contraptions for OK Go's "This Too Shall Pass" music video. The game will run you just $4.99.
9. Monument Valley
If M.C. Escher was around today, he'd surely approve of this mind-bending dimensional puzzle creation by ustwo. The short game has an incredible level of polish, and drew immediate accolades for its style and design. It introduces some clever puzzle mechanics into this world of optical illusions. The music is also striking, completing the otherworldly ambiance of the game. Monument Valley will set you back just $3.99. Fans who have already played can pick up the "Forgotten Shores" expansion for $1.99.
10. Five Nights at Freddy's
As with the best survival games, the concept of Five Nights at Freddy's is simple. You're the night security guard in a pizza place and you need to not die. Normally that wouldn't be tricky, but the restaurant's animatronic creatures come to life with a murderous bent after hours. You have a limited ability to track their movements, so you never quite know when a bloodthirsty character will show up at your door. The game is short and easy to replay, which makes it a good fit for the mobile gamer. The demo version is free, but it's definitely worth going the paid route for $2.99 to experience the whole game as it was intended.

The long weekend involved knitting my little hands off. Okay, my hands aren't that little (my husband says they are freakishly large) and they are still attached to my arms, but they're a bit sore from the overuse. I worked on the Super Secret Project quite a bit. I completed 15% of it over the weekend, which brings me up to 55% completion. That doesn't seem like much, but it will when it is finally revealed. It's BIG! I think I'm on pace to finish it in time, which makes me very happy. It's nice to be past the halfway point.
I also worked on one of 4 ponchos I have promised to make for friends. I always overextend myself. Always. It sounded like a great idea at the time. I'm still excited about doing this for them because they are SO excited about having ponchos. And, I'm almost finished with the first one after knitting for just a couple of hours, so they will go fast. I am hoping to finish these up by early next week so I can devote myself to the Super Secret Christmas Present. It currently seems do-able, but we'll see.
Otherwise, this weekend consisted of making my first turkey dinner, hosting three exchange students for their first traditional Thanksgiving dinner and purchasing my first "day after Thanksgiving" bargain (that I can remember). I found a suede jacket for $40 that was originally $130. It's super cute. Now I want to get some suede yarn to make a scarf to match it. Maybe after Christmas. We did have a great holiday but I was okay with coming back to work and getting back into some sort of schedule. I like routine, as much as I hate to admit it.
I don't remember you having 'man-hands' or anything! If they are big…well that's just knitting muscles, darling. Oh, and uh, where'd ya get the deal on the suede jacket?

My rock & roll past is no secret. In fact, most who know me are aware of how all-encompassing music was, has been, for most of my life. It wasn't a hobby, a little thing I did on the side; it was MY LIFE… in all caps.
I started singing professionally when I was a teenager, hit the road with a rock & roll band before I was old enough to drink in the bars we played, and I ate the LA music scene during the '80s like it was the best damn meal out there. No matter what else I may do in my life as a creative artist, being a singer/songwriter, and being able to get up on stage or behind the mic in a recording studio with incredible musicians making magic around me is, seriously, one of the greatest highs to be had.
But rock & roll dreams tend to be built on the alchemy of youth, opportunity, contacts, and, in some case, sheer luck, and as luck (or destiny or fate or whatever it is that drives these things) would have it, and as much fun as I was having, I didn't quite get to the mountain I had in mind. There was disappointment in that, surely, but still… what a journey!
WHAT IS A "WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE"?
Substance can be defined as "significant quality with the implication of a hidden or special significance." Music of Substance is not just entertainment or fluff, but has an essential "core" brimming with heart, soul, and spirit.
Women of Substance Radio has been on the air for 7 years. We are an Internet Radio station garnering fans from all over the world. WOSRadio plays the BEST female artists, both label and Indie, in all genres. We hand-pick all of our music starting with icons of the past like Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Carly Simon, Fleetwood Mac, Heart, Tracy Chapman, Mariah Carey, No Doubt, Tori Amos, Sarah McLachlan, Jewel, Michelle Branch, Kelly Clarkson, Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, Adele, Carrie Underwood, Amy Winehouse, Feist, Christina Perri, Ingrid Michaelson, and so many more.
As one who sings, loves, and – hopefully – writes the kind of music that has an "essential core," I raised my hand without hesitation. And, lo and behold, one of the two songs I submitted, "Comfort Me," was chosen for their new music playlist and will be put into rotation starting tomorrow (9.8). As the title says… then suddenly there's music again!
I'd be delighted for you all to click onto the station, listen, vote, do that thing you do. The necessary information and links follows, and I sincerely thank you in advance for your ears and your support. Of course, I mostly hope you enjoy listening to my song and the music of other singing, songwriting "women of substance"!
COMFORT ME (written by Lorraine Devon Wilke, David Resnik & Rick M. Hirsch) will debut on the "What's on my iPod" Show, our weekly new music show on WOSRadio. See the playlist HERE.
Show airs September 8-12, 2014 at 2 PM PT; same show airs every weekday this week.
Listeners and fans can tune in at: http://rdo.to/WOSRADIO (click on "Website").
After this week, COMFORT ME will enter heavy rotation on WOSRadio for 2 weeks. Fans are invited to vote "thumbs up" for your song by clicking the "thumbs up" icon while it is playing on our desktop player (and some Android devices). Fans can also request your song right from the desktop player top menu. Songs that receive votes and requests will remain in heavy rotation for an additional two weeks (possibly more depending on voting) and will be considered for the Top 20 which is posted on our website and linked to our player.

This month, which is Autism Awareness Month, marks the third anniversary of UNC's participation in the largest genetic autism research study in the United States. UNC is one of 25 clinical sites to partner with the Simons Foundation Powering Autism Research for Knowledge study. The research initiative is a nationwide effort to gather genetic information from 50,000 participants on the autism spectrum and their biological parents to advance autism research.
Gabriel Dichter, PhD, director of research at the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities (CIDD), said one of the main goals of the SPARK project is to help determine the genes that cause autism.
"The other goal is, for down the road, to use that genetic information to help us conduct research that evaluates the potential to link individual patients with autism to particular interventions based on their genetic signature, if you will," Dichter said. "Our hope is that this will help guide us down the path of personalized medicine to be able to match patients to treatments based on what we know about their genetics."
UNC's initial involvement in the SPARK project began in early 2016 as one of three pilot sites before the larger national launch in April of the same year. Dichter said UNC has been able to play an integral role in the research study due to an "ongoing relationship" between the Carolina Institute for Developmental Disabilities and nearly 7,000 families who have members with autism. This community of families, as well as therapy programs and other resources offered by UNC's TEACCH Autism Program, has been instrumental in finding interested individuals to participate in the SPARK study.
Dichter said participants are first directed to an online registration and consent process, where they answer survey questions. Then, they receive a kit in the mail, where the study participant with autism and their family members provide saliva samples. Dichter said the Simons Foundation processes the DNA samples and if they detect a "meaningful" genetic profile, they send the results of their genetic analysis to the family's physician or a genetic counselor to help the family interpret the data.
"Saliva grosses me out and I was able to do it," said SPARK study participant and Durham resident Josephine Arguelles. "And my kids loved it, they thought it was the best day, like my seven-year-old was over there power-spitting into this tube, he thought it was great."
Arguelles' older son, Eric, was a part of a TEACCH program to help him with his anxiety, which is how her family originally found out about SPARK.
"This is the first place that we lived that we were able to get Eric into programs like this, that had them close by, that had them readily available," Arguelles said. "And we feel a lot of support in the community for children like Eric. This is the first time I've really felt supported as an autism parent."
Arguelles said she found the process to be "really simple" and hopes the study will give her family some answers. "A lot of parents blame themselves," Arguelles said. "'Was it something we did? Was it something we didn't do?' And so I think [the research] would bring at least some comfort to families, at least we would know the when, the how, and the why."
Corrie Walston
UNC SPARK Study Coordinator Corrie Walston said more than 1,800 people with autism and their family members have enrolled in the study through UNC. There are no limitations to participants with regard to age or diagnoses, Walston said. "The autism spectrum is huge and they want as many people to participate as possible because autism is so heterogeneous," Walston said. "No two people with autism look alike."
There are currently 16,712 families enrolled in the research study. April 2nd marked the 12th World Autism Awareness Day, which was established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2008.
"Really, World Autism Awareness Day for us is about thanking the families that we've worked with in research for their dedication, because without them, research would not be possible and without the research, a better outcome could not be possible for their children," Dichter said.
Arguelles said she hopes the SPARK project will provide her family with guidance to help Eric as he gets older.
"He's really opened our eyes and we see the world differently because of him. But he does struggle and that's hard to watch," Arguelles said. "... I hope that whatever they find that we can benefit from it, that we can use it. We really want Eric to be successful."

Vance Worley Looks Like the Pirates Big Reclamation Project This Year
Pirates FeaturesAnalysis
On Tuesday, Pittsburgh Pirates' manager Clint Hurdle talked about how teams needed depth in the rotation, and needed to think about Plan B, Plan C, and beyond. That's been true for the Pirates this year, as seen by the fact that they currently have three starting pitchers in the majors who were in Triple-A to start the season.
One of those starters is Vance Worley. At the start of the year he looked like a guy you could place in the "beyond" category, just past Plan C. The Pirates acquired Worley for cash from the Minnesota Twins at the end of Spring Training. Worley had struggled with the Twins during the 2013 season, and had been outrighted to Triple-A a few days before the Pirates acquired him. The Twins had planned on making him a set-up man. The Pirates still saw him as a starter.
As for where he fell on the depth charts, they felt he had a good chance to get back to where he was before 2013, and had his chances of reaching the majors higher than everyone else.
"I guess in other people's eyes he was beyond a plan C," Hurdle said about Worley surprising everyone this year. "We signed him for a reason, because we thought he could help at the Major League level. He's been a Major League pitcher. He's had success here. The fact that he was able to clean up some things, just re-visit the delivery, the mindset when he was having success. Feel that again. Talk about some of the challenges that came after that. And then just start over. Start with a new organization. Clean chalk board. I've seen him pitch very, very well. I saw him a couple of Spring Trainings ago, it was lights out. Saw him last Spring, it wasn't."
Worley had good numbers in the Philadelphia Phillies rotation in 2011 and 2012. He had a 3.01 ERA and a 3.66 xFIP in 131.2 innings in 2011, making his jump to the rotation after a few outings in relief. In 2012 he had a 4.20 ERA and a 4.04 xFIP in 133 innings, but dealt with elbow issues. The issues started in May with inflammation, and he ended up missing all of September with bone chips. He ended up having surgery to fix the problem.
After the 2012 season, the Phillies traded Worley to the Twins, along with Trevor May, in exchange for Ben Revere. All of Worley's pitches were up after the surgery, due to some mechanical issues.
"The mechanics were off because of the injury from 2012," Worley said. "I was protecting my elbow because of the bone chips. And then after I had the surgery, that was why my mechanics stayed the same."
The Pirates felt they could get Worley back on track, while the Twins had pretty much given up on him. Two days after he was acquired, he talked to Jim Benedict, who works with a lot of pitchers in the Pirates' system. Benedict went over film with Worley, dating back to 2008 with the Phillies' system. He watched Worley's bullpens, watched him play catch, and watched him every time he had the ball.
"I'm happy they came and got me. I know they knew who I was and what I was capable of doing," Worley said. "For them to come and swoop me up and be as confident in me as if they knew I was in their organization already. 'We got you. We know what you can do. Come over and get things right, and we're looking forward to having you here.' I just said thank you. Thank you for getting me out of there."
Worley has been outstanding in his first three starts with the Pirates. He has a 1.83 ERA in 20.2 innings, after giving up one run in seven innings tonight. The advanced metrics don't have him keeping this up. He's got a 4.15 xFIP, with that number being much lower than his ERA due to a lack of strikeouts. Worley has a 5.2 K/9, which is down from where he was in 2011-12. However, it's too early to really put much stock in xFIP. Before tonight's start, Worley had a 3.89 xFIP. When one start causes a swing in over 25 points, you know you're dealing with a small sample size.
While Worley won't be as good as his ERA, it's not out of the question to think he could be back to his pre-injury form. He believes that he's back to that point, at least from a mechanical standpoint.
"I think my mechanics are comparable," Worley said about the comparisons to before the injury. "Ball and strike ratio has been really good since I worked with Jim. Just pounding the zone. I'm back down in the zone and throwing strikes."
He should be safe when the Pirates activate Gerrit Cole from the disabled list this weekend. When Francisco Liriano eventually returns, the Pirates will have an interesting decision for their starting pitchers. Worley should get strong consideration for a rotation spot, simply due to his previous success, the current success that indicates he might be back to those levels, and the fact that the Pirates control him through the 2018 season.
Tim started Pirates Prospects in 2009 from his home in Virginia, which was 40 minutes from where Pedro Alvarez made his pro debut in Lynchburg. That year, the Lynchburg Hillcats won the Carolina League championship, and Pirates Prospects was born from Tim's reporting along the way. The site has grown over the years to include many more writers, and Tim has gone on to become a credentialed MLB reporter, producing Pirates Prospects each year, and will publish his 11th Prospect Guide this offseason. He has also served as the Pittsburgh Pirates correspondent for Baseball America since 2019. Behind the scenes, Tim is an avid music lover, and most of the money he gets paid to run this site goes to vinyl records.

I keep reading about Worley being called a veteran like he is an older pitcher in his 30″s.
He is 26 or 27 only 3 years older than Cole.
He isn't a fireballer who throws 95 – 98, if he maintains his mechanics he can pitch for another 10 years.
Rob Wheeler
Thanks for that last sentence. I have been watching for the payroll page to be updated so I would know that answer. Great job with the site!!
smurph
As Tim said in the article, Worley will not put up these type numbers for the rest of the season. However, I see a veteran pitching with a lot of confidence, mixing his pitches, hitting his spots, outsmarting hitters. Even with a slight dropoff, he looks like a solid #3 starter. Can Cole come back and be their ace? If so, this team can legitimately challenge for both the division and the NL pennant. As for Liriano, I agree with the majority. He should not be guaranteed a spot in the rotation unless he looks like the 2013 Liriano in his rehab starts. Pirates rotation with Cole is certainly good enough with a very good offense.

But, but, but, we didn't do enough in the offseason!

Reply to Leefoo Rug Bug
very true…the FO sat on their hands…and now we have to pay with prospects …for what we could have gotten for just a signature..for years now they have failed to address the "holes" on the field (of, 1b) and that cost them prospects too..if they keep this up the farm system will be back to the bottom 1/3
Thumbs up, foo.
Dom DiDominic
Don't mind the 77 million payroll. Small market, I understand sometimes they will lose players to larger markets. But FREKIN pay Ray Searage and Jim Benedict! AJ, Liriano, Locke, Worley, Watson, Wilson, Grilli, Morton, Gomez, Melancon, Cumpton …….
These are guys that may have been good at one time, but where not anywhere near the expectations that they produced with the Pirates.
This is not an accident. These guys are good. Pay them, Keep them.
Reply to Dom DiDominic
Totally agree. These are things a small market team can do.
jon6er
Worley pitched a veteran type game tonight (which he is) but I am really going to hate the venom when or if he has his first bad outing. Even Kershaw has a bad outing once in a while.
moose7195
Yeah the Worley-bird is making things difficult for when Liriano returns. And to be honest, I don't know how they're gonna keep Locke and Worley when that time comes, which is truly sad because both guys have pitched better than Frank this year. I guess having too much pitching is better than not enough, but moving a more effective player to AAA just seems dumb to me.
bucsws2014
Reply to moose7195
I think we all know that one of two things will happen when Liriano returns:
– Locke gets sent down because he has options.
– Locke stays up, Volquez goes to the BP, Grilli is released.
In any case, Worley isn't going anywhere regardless how well Locke is pitching.
Reply to bucsws2014
I get that, but my point is that Locke doesn't deserve to go down, and moving Volquez to the pen actually hurts the rotation, he's been better than Liriano too. It's a tough situation either way, and none of the suggestions you claim to be inevitable help the team
piraddict
So they trade either Liriano or Volquez or both.
Reply to piraddict
along Liriano and Volquez, they need to trade "current asset's Pedro, Grilli, Martin, and Snyder.NO is not about saving money…is about building (completing a roster that can be compete for playoff spot for the next 6 + years….we got the outfield in place…needed a young C, 3B,1b,and a ss or 2b depending on where Hanson end up playing…and a starting pitcher prospect or or two..
Scott Kliesen
Pirates organization is turning into the Island of misfit Pitchers. Truly amazing how they take one teams trash and turn it into their treasure. But for this team to take the next step they need Cole to comeback and be a true Ace. A guy who can match up w Wainwright, Cueto and Gallardo in a big game is what's missing.
csnumber23
I like what I have seen so far with Worley. Although I thought he threw harder than 90-91 a couple years ago with the Phillies. I'm not sure if that is correct or not but if it is, that could help explain the lower strikeout numbers. All in all though, so far he looks like a solid 5
Reply to csnumber23
Wow if that's what your #5 looks like you've got high standards! stats aside, he just looks vicious out there. He is chiseled onto my rotation as is Locke. Cumpton will have to go down when cole comes back but I don't think liriano is an automatic. He has to look good in rehab then I look to trade Volquez to make the room.

Dear Abby: I've been devastated since learning husband cheated long ago
He recently confessed to a one-night stand almost 50 years ago, and the revelation saddens his wife every day.
By Abigail Van Buren Nov 18, 2020, 6:00am CST
Share All sharing options for: Dear Abby: I've been devastated since learning husband cheated long ago
DEAR ABBY: Two years ago, my husband of 50 years confessed that 46 years ago, shortly after our son was born, he had a one-night stand with a total stranger he gave a ride to. She offered sex to him, and they went to a hotel for the brief encounter. He said he had totally forgotten about it until recently. He said he was very upset when he remembered, to the point that he felt sick.
He decided to tell me because he didn't want any secrets between us, and he asked me to forgive him. I forgave him, but I have been devastated ever since. He was a virgin when we married, and he has been unfaithful only that one time.
Abby, I cannot get over the fact that he did this to me. Not a single day goes by without the pain and the images of him being unfaithful, in a marriage that I considered to be nearly perfect until then, take hold of me and make me very sad. I don't cry as much anymore, but the intensity of the pain hasn't subsided.
I haven't talked to anyone else about this. My husband loves me and has been very supportive, but it hasn't been enough to heal this pain. Your words of wisdom will be appreciated. — WOUNDED IN FLORIDA
DEAR WOUNDED: So your husband chose to ease his guilty conscience about this one-time infidelity 46 years ago and lay it on you. It would have been kinder had he "confessed" to his spiritual adviser.
Focus on the fact that what happened (once) four years into your marriage is less relevant than the quality of the relationship you have shared during the ensuing nearly half-century. Because it has been two years since your husband told you and you are still in emotional pain, consider enlisting the help of a licensed marriage and family therapist. Talking it out may help these feelings to dissipate so you will no longer be haunted by the images in your head. Please do not wait to do this. Your physician is the first person to ask for a referral.
DEAR ABBY: I have read about how narcissistic, angry, depressed people shame others and spread lies on social media. May I take a moment to remind your readers that they do not HAVE to have social media? I stopped looking at it two years ago, after the death of my sister. People said some horrible things, so I decided enough is enough — I'm done.
Not only have I not missed it, I'm much more peaceful and less stressed. I connect with people I love through email, texting and sometimes good old-fashioned letter-writing. That works for me. — FREEDOM REGAINED IN CALIFORNIA
DEAR FREEDOM REGAINED: I have received an increasing number of letters from people about problems in which there is a social media element. For those who have become overwhelmed, I recommend limiting time spent online. For people who have been victimized by trolls, another solution is to simply block or delete them.
I'm sharing your suggestion for anyone who might need it — and I suspect there may be quite a few. However, disconnecting from social media does take more effort because the dropouts must decide not only who they wish to communicate with but also by what means to do it.

Going into this past weekend's Rugby Washington state finals, you'd be hard-pressed to pick the winner.
With Eastside passing up the boys playoffs to play at nationals, most would have picked Liberty to take the final. But that didn't happen.
On the girls side, Kent has long been the queen bee - sometimes pushed but never really surpassed. But Kent didn't win, either.
In both cases, Tacoma took the title.
"It was a pretty amazing weekend," said Tacoma Head Coach Marc Sullivan. "With the girls, they've only been on the trophy for the last several years. It was two different approaches to the game. They play more of a speed game and try to get on the outside, and we have more of a power game and try to go through the middle of them."
The game went down to the final moments, with flyhalf Lolo Makaafi scoring in the corner to put Tacoma ahead, and Kent had a minute or so to come back, but couldn't do it. Tacoma 34 Kent 28.
It was an astounding culmination to a season where Sullivan didn't know what he had.
"We started, we had only about six girls. But we grew to 12, then 15, then about 24, and then we dropped back down to 20," said Sullivan "And all very athletic. So once they came together we knew we had a good team."
With Rugby Washington didn't hold a JV final so the Tsunami brought up some sophomores to bolster the squad.
"This was the first time we had everyone healthy and we were 100%, and we had four sophomores start," said Sullivan. "We were down on numbers early on and it came together. The biggest thing, though, is we went from having just a varsity team to having 140 kids in the program plus rookie rugby. Out 7th-8th-grade team won all of their games."
In the Boys Varsity final, in a back-and-forth game, Tacoma edged Liberty 31-29.
"Both teams played hard to the final whistle," said Sullivan, who now finishes coaching the program. He is moving back to his home country of New Zealand. But Sullivan has been heavily involved in rugby in Washington for decades, and should be rightly proud of what he has helped build. "Our organization and coaching staff are very proud of what has been accomplished this year. We are working with a demographic group that has its social and economic challenges. Through amazing support from alumni and the local community we work tirelessly to eliminate these challenges and allow this amazing group of young people the opportunity to play the great game of rugby."

Q: What is the value of n such that n! = 3! × 5! × 7! does this use the telescopic series if it does how do you express the general term?
I have no idea. I need some help

A: Since $3!\times 5!=720=8\times 9\times 10=\frac{10!}{7!}$, $n=10$.


Is she dead, Jim? No, her breath fogs the mirror . . .
I know I created this big set-up for several articles on health, but, ironically, my family has been dealing with a medical emergency this week. All week, at the end of each day, I decided that sleep was more important than blogging. Last evening, my husband and I put the children to bed and left our teenage daughter in charge and went out for coffee. Even though my Friday has been crazy, I do feel revived from the date last night. So, here are two tips, not just for writers, but also for the general population: no matter what is going on around you, get some sleep! If you're married, go out on a date, even if it's just for tea and coffee or beer and wine. Thank you for your patience. Hopefully, I will fulfill my promise of teaching writers to be healthy, wealthy, and wise tomorrow.
My one disclaimer is this: I have no medical training. Cooking wholesome food and studying natural health has been my obsession (no, no, it's a hobby, I swear) for approximately sixteen years.
Here's another addendum: my poems, together with my father's paintings, are hanging on the walls of the Manzanares St. Cafe. The cafe is on the Bosque del Apache tour. Let me explain. Starting on Thursday, thousands of people have flocked to Socorro New Mexico for the Festival of the Cranes. Most of the event takes place at the bird refuge at the Bosque, but there is also a tour in town. Tomorrow, many people will be (hopefully) flocking to the coffeehouse, as well, and I will be there selling cards and/or booklets with my dad's art and my poems. This is frightening because I've never thought much of my own poetry. So, please, wish me well.
Oh, I do, I do wish you everything well and most wonderful, Jill!
its really very beautiful posting here that you share with us thanks for this.

Today's satellite constellations consist of smaller satellites and miniaturized CubeSats - the icons of NewSpace, which revolutionizes the traditional space satellite communications sector. New business models emerge in the field of Earth observation, remote sensing, IoT and a wide range of communications. Broadband applications are in the focus, for which advanced modulation and coding technologies like DVB-S2X with beam-hopping capabilities and DVB-RCS2 are deployed. Likewise, proprietary waveforms based on terrestrial mobile communication standards like OFDM are also getting popular in NewSpace. Rohde & Schwarz, as a member of the DVB organization, has understood the potentials of beam hopping and made implementations for its testing next to other satellite transmission standards in the test and measurement equipment.
In this webinar, we will pinpoint the challenges and will showcase the possibilities on the leading-edge Rohde & Schwarz equipment.

Three different sets of fiscal terms have governed Block 245 since 1998: a 2003 PSC signed by Shell; the 2005 Model PSC that applied Nigerian contractor Malabu, and the current terms applicable to Eni and Shell based on a 2011 Resolution Agreement and an associated 2012 Production Sharing Agreement.
The rights to Block 245 have been the subject of substantial controversy and legal action. This analysis represents the first public domain assessment of the impact of these different sets of fiscal terms on potential revenue for the Government of Nigeria.
Under our base case assumptions, and assuming a future oil price of $70 per barrel, the 2003 PSC terms would generate $14.3 billion in government revenue over the lifespan of the project. In contrast, the 2011 RA terms would generate $9.8 billion. The potential reduction of between $4.5 billion is due to the removal in the 2011 RA and the 2012 PSA of the central feature of the production sharing system: a share of Profit Oil for the government.
