It is hot and humid here in Virginia Beach right now. And this time of year, we often hear about dogs (and sometimes children) left in hot cars. I wonder, what are those pet parents thinking? Do they not care what happens to their fur kids? Or are they just ignorant and think they will be fine?
According to this video, the Good Samaritan Law will protect you if a child is in distress in a hot car, but unless a state has a law in place for pets, the Good Samaritan Law doesn't cover animals. It should, but it doesn't.
But what are the consequences? There have been cases where someone broke into a car to save a dog and ended up getting arrested for doing so.
First of all, at the time of this writing, there are 26 states in the US that make it illegal to leave a dog in a hot car. Can you believe it? Only 26 states. And even in those states, it doesn't necessarily mean you are free to break into the car to save the dog.
Those states are: Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.
You can see what those laws are for each of those states here.
You can make paper copies of this by clicking the PDF here and then print them from your computer.
So what can you do if you see a dog in a car on a hot day?
First it's a good idea to have the phone number of your police department's non emergency phone number programed in your phone, or keep it in your wallet. Also keep Animal Control's phone number with you too. You may also want to have some info sheets (PDF's provided above and below) to give out that you keep in your glove compartment.
If it's really hot or the dog looks to be in distress, go ahead and call these numbers and give them the details.
You can get the PDF here: signs of heat stroke.
If the dog doesn't look to be in any distress yet, get the details about the car (make, model, license number, color) and go into the nearest building and ask the manager to call them to their car over the loud speaker.
Go back to the car and wait for the owner to come out. If they don't within a few minutes, go ahead and call those numbers and report it.
While you are waiting, you may want to take some photos or video for evidence if needed. In the video, mention the time you found the dog, the temperature if you know it, and any other details you can think of.
When the owner comes out, don't get into a confrontation with them, but do let them know that you were worried about their dog in the heat and have called the police (if you already have called them). To help them realize what the danger is you can give them a paper copy of the PDF: How Hot it Gets in a Car if you made some ahead of time.
So what do you do if the dog is obviously in distress, and it doesn't seem like the owner or the cops are in any rush to get there? I can't tell you to break into the car to get the dog out but I believe that's what I would do to save the dog. Yes, I may get in legal trouble but I don't think I could live with myself if I watched a dog die while I did nothing. First though, before breaking in, I'd check to see if the doors were even locked.
If you don't want to go to that extreme, you could call 911 now (instead of the non emergency number) and tell them the dog is dying. They may get a cop out there faster or tell you to go ahead and get the dog out.
So what would you do if you come across a dog in a car on a hot day? Or has it already happened? What did you do?
Tell your mom she's a hero in my book!
I'm so disappointed that Oregon isn't on this list. I was talking about this law with a friend this week and how forward looking so many states are now, who would DO this? How can folks not think their dogs will be in the hospital if left in their car… I have come close to breaking into someone's window but luckily I found them in a nail salon.
I'm surprised Oregon isn't on the list either Christine. But they may be soon. When I first started researching this article, there were just 16 and now it's 22.
I really do not understand these people! It's stated everywhere that it's extremely dangerous (it's ALL over social media), so I think these people are just ignorant!! I recently saw a dog in a car, with the window 1 inch open, like that will prevent your dog from getting a heat stroke? I didn't know what to do since I'm scared to break someone's window! Thank you for these amazing tips, I'll def print the pdf and keep it on me!!
Glad it helped Valerie! Yeah I don't understand how people don't know how dangerous it is either.
We rarely see dogs in cars this time of year. Our city actually has a law against leaving a dog in the car. It is so dangerous. It's another reason we are not fans of summer as we can't go along much when Mom runs errands which is a bummer.
I wish more cities had that law Emma! And don't worry; Fall will be here before you know with cooler weather and you can start helping mom go on her errands.
I'm surprised that CT isn't on this list, we have an animal advocacy group that lobbies for strict animal laws. They were instrumental in pushing for not allowing dogs to be tethered outside 24 hours per day. Also for providing water, food and shelter for outside dogs.
Maybe they will be on the list soon Jodi. I'm kind of surprised they weren't on there either.
Unfortunately you can't fix stupid! Legal or not, I'm busting Windows!!! I think these people need to put on a fur coat and sit in the car with the windows cracked. Maybe THEN they'll understand!
I agree Sheena. It's amazing how many people are clueless about this.

"There are some legitimate connections between Elvis Presley and Star Wars. As a member of both fanbases, I've observed a lot of this stuff first-hand over the years. Thomas over at the Elvis Today blog compiles some of them in his article 'Elvis, Star Wars style.'"
"Could Elvis Presley have been a Jedi? We may never know, but he sure raced one like one. A few weeks back, I told you about a fun article over at the Elvis Today blog listing connections between Star Wars and Elvis Presley. That article reminded me of something I noticed about a year ago.
When I first saw 'Star Wars: Episode I' back in 1999, I remember thinking that the podracing sequence on Tatooine seemed a little familiar.
It didn't hit me until I was watching 'Viva Las Vegas' one day last year. Though some of these connections are admittedly a stretch, several of the similarities between the two races are quite striking."

CHILDREN at Inglewood Community Nursery and Infant School are active and enthusiastic.
Next week, youngsters at the school on School Road, Harraby, Carlisle, will be taking part in The Big Pedal run by Sustrans.
Headteacher Deborah Boekestein said: "We did really well last year as so many of us scooted or cycled to school that we won a new scooter pod for the front of school.
"Our PTFA bought us six scooters so that we can practise safely on the yard.
"In December, we won a runners-up prize of an Arctic Ice Crawler in a Lego competition and are taking it in turns to build it in our classrooms.
"In July, we were finalists in the 'Design the Railway Station of the Future' competition and four of us went to the Discovery Museum in Newcastle to showcase our design and talk about it.
"The model has pride of place in our Nurture Room.
"We have lots of time for classroom learning as well and really enjoy independent learning times.
Everyone in the school has a pair of wellies.
Ms Boekestein said: "We love it when we can go on all the grassy areas – which are all around our classes but which you can't see from the road.
"Visitors like coming to our school and we really enjoy Zoolab visiting Year 1, Chris the Denbuilder in Year 2 and Action Ants in reception.
"Mr Clark comes to school every week and teaches everyone lots of songs – next week year 1 are performing their Spring Thing and have even written a song to perform.

Wise and witty piece, KC. The Mumbai Mirror is worth its cover price for that article alone.
I particularly like your description of Glenn Maxwell's batting. The only phrase I would add to the description is "Afridi 2.0".
Ever since that post about unarsedness a while back I've been trying to figure out which cricketer fits the term best. I think I might have settled on Grant Elliott.
Arse arse arse. We're in real trouble and I really bloody hate cocky aussies.
I'm poised to win a bottle of wine from a pre-tournament bet. But it feels like a hollow victory. I just can't bring myself to be happy for Australia.
Will taste like red wine vinegar. Unless it's white, in which case it'll taste like white wine vinegar.
Do they make rosé vinegar? Probably in the South.
The only way to make yourself feel better for such a treasonous wager, Sam, is to share your ill-gotten gains with your mates here on King Cricket.
What chump did you find to take a bet against Australia winning in Australia?
…and yet Sam suggests that it is US who are unreal.

BREXIT: EU trademarks and community designs
BREXIT: how to maintain/obtain protection for EU trademarks and community designs in the United Kingdom
On 1 January 2021, as a result of withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union, protection of EU trademarks and Community designs ceased to apply in the territory of the United Kingdom.
BREXIT: registered EU trademarks and community designs
Owners of rights to EU trademarks and Community designs registered with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) before 1 January 2021 have been granted automatically by the UK Intellectual Property Office (UKIPO) equivalent exclusive rights in the United Kingdom.
These rights have the same priority, filing and registration dates and, in the case of trademarks, identical lists of goods and services. This means that the owners of these rights will simultaneously enjoy:
protection of an EU trademark or Community design in the territory of twenty seven member states of the European Union, and
protection of a "cloned" national trade mark ("comparable UK trademark") or "cloned" national design ("re-registered UK design") in the territory of the United Kingdom.
These "cloned" UK trademarks and UK designs are not re-examined by the UKIPO, while they are renewable and may be traded, assigned and licensed, as well as enforced before UK courts and litigated before the UKIPO tribunal.
Owners of "cloned" trademarks and designs do not have to take any action or bear any costs associated with these changes.
BREXIT: trademarks and community designs still under the registration procedure
In order to continue the registration proceedings pending with regard to an EU trademark or a Community design filed with EUIPO, applicants must submit with UKIPO relevant applications and pay the application fee by 30 September 2021. The new application will keep the original priority date and the EU filing date, provided that the trade mark and its list of goods and services or the design are identical to those filed with EUIPO.
These re-filed applications for trademarks and designs will be subject to examination and publication procedures under the UK law.
For each re-filed application it is necessary to designate the so-called "Address for Service" in the United Kingdom.
We provide comprehensive assistance in establishing an " Address for Service", and we secure well-proven professional assistance of British patent attorney firms whenever it is needed.

This final degree proyect is base don a topic that currently has a great relevance: Promotion of the inclusion of students with disabilies. The main objetive is to promote the social inclusion of students with disabilities. First, we will choose four types of disabilities from the most common ones, and we will define and dossify them according with different authors. Later to benefit the inclusion in the center a tutorial program will be put in place by a group of students of the third cycle, totally voluntary by these, in wich they will be for a period of time the mentors of the students with disabilities; these will guide them through the center, will help in all kind of duties, activities will be done to take other person place, etc. As for the teachers, they will be given a survey to assess how they consider the school suitable for inclusion in order to make the appropiate changes. This survey will take place either public and private school, in order to make a comparasen between them.
Questo periodo storico si presenta come uno dei più duri. I prodotti più evidenti della crisi sono chiaramente le condizioni d'instabilità, incertezza e precarietà economica, che incidono profondamente anche sullo stato sociale, educativo e culturale. Il futuro prossimo non sembra capace di offrire vie di fuga, immagini più positive e la fiducia nel domani sembra un progetto irrealizzabile. Certamente lo stato di disagio provato dagli uomini e dalle donne difronte alle incertezze e all'insicurezza sociale (Castel 2011), è frutto di politiche comunicative chiaramente volte a diffondere e incrementare lo stato di paura. Numerosi autori negli ultimi anni si sono dedicati ai temi sull'insicurezza sociale, l'intimidazione, la paura, il rischio e sulle dinamiche relazionali correlate a questi aspetti. La "paura liquida" (Bauman 2008) e il demone della paura (Bauman 2014), sino all'impero della paura (Barber 2004) sono sfaccettature delle medesime dinamiche sociali, sino a diventare paradigmi sociali e di potere, costanti, poiché in tutte le epoche, gli individui sono stati condizionati e controllati alimentando in loro lo stato di angoscia e di paura, esercitando un controllo sociale diretto ed indiretto sulle persone.
Thanks to the tumultuous digital technologies development, nowadays we live in a world without boundaries, characterized by liquid communities that meet and collide, sometimes denying mutual recognition. We move in a communicative bulimia where information runs like in a circus where the sense and the value of 'communicating' are often lost, fueling forms of misunderstanding, violence and exclusion that contribute to fuel discomfort and isolation. In the information and knowledge society, communication is increasingly discriminating for emancipation and empowerment for people, organizations, and communities. For this reason, in the essay, we intend to deepen both the evolution of the community's space through digital technologies and the value and role of the concept of empowerment applied to community development. The essence of the essay is to reflect on its social implications in terms of welfare communities and valorisation of the heritage of relational goods that are constitutive of every social and community space.
The "Healt" of the organization. On some intangible components as the basic realities to improve the governance of contemporary public health organizations.
The today's challenge by the organizations of the public health service is perhaps basically constituted by the need to develop an individual and collective more professional empreneurship capable of urge internal and external resources through a specific and well-defined strategic orientation, in a very complex situation that can be seen on the one hand, the growing increase in demand and, on the other hand, a substantial reduction of the available resources. Therefore, needs to focus on the organization and on the organizing so strong more than in the past, as it is today that the organizations of the public administration delegated to the provision of health services are definitely emerged as active subjects is significant not only in the context of welfare but also in those occupied by the economy and from politics, those who work in a context crowded and competitive.
"Le sfide della scuola nell'era digitale" è una compiuta ricerca sociologica sulle competenze digitali dei docenti in Italia. La diffusione delle tecnologie multimediali nell'era moderna ha richiesto l'adeguamento a nuove chiavi di comunicazione e socializzazione e l'aggiornamento continuo degli insegnanti nell'ottica della lifelong learning in linea con la strategia europea 2020.
Partendo dal tema del disagio esistenziale, ormai tratto caratterizzante della società odierna, che, transitando inevitabilmente dall'adulto sul bambino, ha prodotto la crisi del ruolo di educatore, genitore o insegnante che sia, l'autrice adotta, per la sua riflessione sulla realtà infantile, una prospettiva alternativa: da adulto che guarda all'adulto.
From some years burnout seems to have an increasing escalation among teachers, with serious consequences both for the person that lives the uneasiness and for the organization school and for the students. Burnout is not therefore a problem of the single teacher, on which to act individually; it asks instead for interventions of prevention and contrast to level of group and system, to realize through projects of training that promote cooperation and sharing inside the teaching staff and among the different components of the school.
A lo largo de los últimos años se han producido un sinfín de avances en las llamadas Tecnologías de la Información y de la Comunicación, (TICs). Su incorporación a diferentes ámbitos, han jugado un decisivo papel. Por este motivo, la comunidad educativa no puede mantenerse fuera de estos cambios sociales. Como consecuencia del incremento de las TICs, los educadores han tenido y deben adaptar sus métodos de enseñanza, buscando nuevas estrategias de intervención e instrumentos de enseñanza que ayuden a nuestros niños a sacar el mayor partido a sus posibilidades.
Rethinking the role of educator in formal and non-formal educational context: this is the objective of the article. In the reflection we remember the Law 205 (c. 594-601) that regulates the profession. To recognize the value of the educator, we recall the studies of John Dewey, Maria Montessori, Jacques Maritain, Bogan Suchodolski and Jerome S. Bruner.Rethinking the role of educator in formal and non-formal educational context: this is the objective of the article.

RE)DISCOVERING TO BE AN EUROPEAN CITIZEN. The necessity of the education to European Citizenship in order to (ac)knowledge the active role to play in the Union.
It has been 13 years since the European Year of Citizenship Through Education. The need of the role of the education relating to European Union's issues is now clearer and clearer. Indeed, even though the Treaties define every inhabitant of the Member States as "citizen" and give him or her very specific rights and duties, the debates linked to the European Citizenship continue to be characterised by the vagueness and the uncertainty showed by the main characters of te story themselves. Much of the problem lies in the origin, which means in the education of the European citizens. Because of negligence or because of the lack of adequate information, many European inhabitants are European citizens without knowing it or they don't know what this title really means. A lot of them are European citizens without having the awareness of beeing it. It is evident that the European Union, which is perceived far from people, has to be brought closer to the public. The education to European citizenship has become a priority in the school curricula of every Member State. So, this has happened in Italy too. But it seems that our country underestimated the importance of the problem.
For three years (1949-1950-1951), Maria Montessori was candidate to Nobel Price for Peace without succeeding.
These Events, which have not been sufficiently studied in the personal and intellectual biography of Maria Montessori, are reconstructed in the present essay, basing on the documents from Nobel Price.org, from Unesco Archive and from Historical Archive of Luigi Sturzo Institute, where the documents of Maria De Unterrichter Jervolino are kept, who was the most convinced and influential supporter of the Maria Montessori's nomination.
The national and international political contexts of these events are reconstructed, on the view of the most general evolution of the montessorian elaboration and practices. The contribute of Maria Montessori to the education for peace is examined on his essential aspects, starting from her writings from the Thirties.
The aim of the following work is to analyze an effective method for managing the growing issues at the infant and adolescent level. The "Making Stories" method will be described, implemented by the Institute of Group Research and Generational Psychology (IRG) of Lugano, founded by Marcoli Ferruccio.

Meet a researcher – Professor Jeremy Hughes
Kidney Research UK > Meet a researcher – Professor Jeremy Hughes
Professor Jeremy Hughes: Investing in the best science and people
Professor Jeremy Hughes is a Professor of Experimental Nephrology at the University of Edinburgh and an Honorary Consultant Nephrologist at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
He combines his clinical and teaching roles with his research work, which focuses on the role of a white blood cell, called the macrophage, in kidney injury, scarring and healing.
Professor Hughes is also chairman of Kidney Research UK's Research Grant Committee. He was elected to the post in 2013, but his tenure as chairman will come to an end in early 2018.
We caught up with him to find out about the work of the committee and ask him about some of the highlights of his time as chairman of the Research Grant Committee.
Since this interview, Jeremy has gone on to be elected as the chair of trustees for the charity.
Q: What does the role of chairman involve on the Kidney Research UK Research Grant Committee?
I work with the charity to oversee the assessment process of submitted research grants. These include research project and programme grants, innovation grants and personal clinical and scientific fellowships. I nominate members of the committee with relevant expertise to manage the peer review process for every grant. Grants are then shortlisted for discussion at a committee meeting, based upon the comments and opinions of external expert referees who have reviewed them in detail. I chair the meeting and my aim is to ensure that all grants are discussed fairly and in depth so the committee as a whole has a real understanding of the proposed research before decisions are made.
There is significant work involved in reading and digesting the details of all submitted grants and the referee reports, but I have always enjoyed this. I'm pleased to say the chairman workload has significantly increased recently as Kidney Research UK has been very successful in increasing the funding available for research. When I became chairman we had a main Research Project Grant round and a Fellowships round, leading to two meetings per year. In recent years we have had additional rounds of research funding, including the Make EVERY Kidney Count Awards for transplant-related research and the John Feehally-Stoneygate Awards which are targeted to different areas of research with each round. In addition, the recent merger with Kids Kidney Research will provide additional funding opportunities for paediatric research.
The committee also reviews and gives feedback on rules and procedures (protocols) relating to industry-funded projects overseen and governed by Kidney Research UK. Examples include the PIVOTAL study, a large clinical trial examining the optimal dose of iron therapy in dialysis patients, and the NURTuRE national biobank project. Lastly, as chairman I am also a member of the charity's Renal Strategy Committee which discusses the activity and direction of the organisation.
Q: Are there any projects (past or ongoing) that stand out for you?
Kidney Research UK has funded many excellent projects that span the full range of bench to bedside research. Recent advances in genetics have led to many interesting projects trying to identify the nature and effects of gene mutations involved in diverse kidney diseases. The greater funding made available through the Making EVERY Kidney Count appeal has allowed researchers to be more ambitious and led to several projects with the potential to really change the clinical landscape. These include examining the role of a pioneering warm perfusion technique to make more kidneys suitable for transplantation; developing a drug which may be a novel treatment for rejection; running a multi-centre UK trial to see if we can improve the early function of kidney transplants and holding a randomised trial to determine the best treatment for patients who have antibody-mediated rejection (a severe complication of renal transplantation).
Q: What sparked your passion for renal medicine and research?
I first encountered renal medicine as a junior doctor at the Hammersmith Hospital and decided to specialise in this area. I worked with Prof Andy Rees and Prof Charles Pusey during my Renal Registrar job and they inspired me to undertake a period of research leading to a PhD. My PhD supervisor was John Savill (now Professor Sir John Savill) and he was a great supervisor and mentor for my future career. He passed on a love for the white blood cells called macrophages which are so important in inflammation, scarring and healing of many organs including the kidney. I remain fascinated by their complexity and elegance and much of my current research studies macrophages in kidney disease, as well as in liver and brain injury.
Q: Are you excited by the volume and quality of new research projects coming forward?
Yes I am, but we're not able to fund all of the research proposals deemed to be scientifically worthy of support – and this is frustrating. However, I know that the charity is working very hard to try and increase the funding available for research. I believe it is important to invest in and support the best basic science and clinical researchers because, if we allow them to establish and develop their work, then they will attract additional funding from other areas to research kidney disease.
Q: And what could this mean for kidney patients?
Although the pace of change is often frustratingly slow, I do believe new therapies or existing drugs that are repurposed for a kidney disease will enter clinical trials in the next 5-10 years. Therefore, it is vitally important the renal research community works in collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry to drive this area forward.
Q: Have you enjoyed your time as chairman?
Immensely. In particular, it is so rewarding when the charity invests in researchers with important questions, clear research plans and the determination to drive their research forward. They are the future.

David Coverdale Says Next Whitesnake Tour Is His Farewell
David Coverdale said his next Whitesnake tour will be his last, although he isn't planning a full retirement and has other musical projects he wants to continue.
The singer said he wanted to achieve "completion" with a final road trip, originally planned to take place last year but postponed as a result of the pandemic. Dates in Europe and the U.K. in May and June 2022 are currently listed on the band's website.
"It's mind-blowing to me that I'm preparing my farewell tour," Coverdale told Appetite for Distortion in a recent interview. "And it is — make no mistake, this is the farewell tour. I'm 70. It's a very physically challenging thing for me to do at the best of times. But it's very important for me to achieve completion and to express my appreciation and gratitude to all the people … who've supported me for five decades, 50 years. It blows my mind – it really does."
You can watch the interview below.
Coverdale added that "a lot of my peers and contemporaries are on their 20th retirement tour. I don't intend to [do] that. I must explain, though: It's me, just David Coverdale, who's retiring from touring at that level. Whitesnake will still make projects. I've been writing music all through COVID. I wrote some beautiful new ideas. I have ideas in case Jimmy [Page] wants to do anything. … But [they're] all songs that we can utilize for a Whitesnake project. The music of Whitesnake will continue."
He noted that, "physically and vocally," he still has "the goods" when it comes to performing. "I was actually touring up to spring in 2020, before lockdown," he pointed out. "I was 68 years old, and I'm still kicking ass. Of course, having an amazing band and an incredible and enthusiastic audience gives you that energizing aspect. It's just the traveling is challenging for me. But music is oxygen to me. I'm not going to go fishing or take up crochet. … I have to thank people in person around the world for helping me to be in this position. I don't wanna do it through a video [on] social media: 'Sorry we can't get out there, but thank you for 50 years.' That would be heartbreaking for me."

Hershey addresses social isolation in Gen Z with CSR campaign
Social isolation is a significant problem for many young people today.
The degree to which large numbers of people feel isolated, lonely, or lacking in companionship has been described as an epidemic.
A survey of 20,000 U.S. adults conducted by CIGNA in 2018 produced some alarming findings concerning how lonely many people feel.
Nearly half (46%) of Americans indicated that they sometimes or always feel alone, and 53% say they do not have meaningful in-person social interactions on a daily basis.
Perhaps most alarming is that Generation-Z was found to be the loneliest generation, indicative of social isolation problem being even more pronounced among younger people.
At a time when young consumers are expecting the companies they patronize to engage in socially responsible activities, The Hershey Company has introduced a programme aimed at helping to fight social isolation among young people.
Hershey has made a commitment to help address the problem as part of its Heartwarming Project, an initiative dedicated to helping teens, parents and teachers create more inclusive communities.
Singer-songwriter Lauren Jauregui speaks to teens from across the country about her personal experience with social isolation and cyberbullying at The Makers of Good Teen Summit on Thursday, June 20, 2019, at Convene in New York City. (Stuart Ramson/AP Images for The Hershey Company)
As part of the Heartwarming Project, Hershey worked with its partners We.org and Boys and Girls Clubs to identify teens who were already interested in or taking action on the issue to attend the company's Makers of Good Teen Summit.
The Summit covers a number of strategies for reducing social isolation, including encouraging more personal interaction, writing handwritten notes of appreciation to others, and discussing the appropriate uses of social media.
In conjunction with the Summit, Hershey has been awarding S$250 grants for teens to start of advance inclusion project in their schools and communities.
In describing the decision to focus on social isolation, Jeff King, Hershey's Senior Director for Global Sustainability and Social Impact cites the importance of the problem among young consumers along with the company's historic focus on helping children to succeed.
King states, "Our founder, Milton Hershey, believed that youth are the makers of the future. As a company that was built on creating connections, we believe we have a unique opportunity to help teens create a future of social inclusion."

What Are Bible Verses About Excitement?
The Bible is full of verses that talk about excitement and joy. These verses provide examples of how to remain joyful in all circumstances, celebrate accomplishments, and maintain a sense of enthusiasm and wonderment. In the Bible, there are many passages that talk specifically about excitement, and they often come in the form of praise and thanksgiving. This type of excitement and joy can be seen throughout the Bible, from verses about rejoicing to those that focus on praising God for all the wonderful things He has done for us.
The first example of an exciting Bible verse is found in Psalm 47:1, which says, "Clap your hands, all you peoples; Shout to God with a joyful voice." This verse encourages us to show our joy and excitement through rejoicing and praising God. This type of excitement is often seen in acts of worship or when we feel particularly grateful for something God has done for us. It is a way of expressing our joy and excitement in the presence of God.
Another example of a Bible verse about excitement is found in Isaiah 12:6, which says, "Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth. Break out in praise and sing for joy!" This verse encourages us to express our joy and excitement through singing and praising God. The act of singing and praising God can be a great way to express our joy and excitement to the Lord and to be filled with a sense of wonderment.
In Psalm 100:1-2 we find more examples of excitement and joy found in the Bible, "Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs." This verse calls us to gather together in a spirit of joy and praise, and it reminds us of the importance of expressing our excitement to the Lord in a collective way. It is a way of expressing our enthusiasm and joy to the Lord in a way that unifies many people together.
Finally, one of the most famous Bible verses about excitement can be found in Philippians 4:4-7, which says, "Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." This passage tells us that we should rejoice and be thankful for what God has done for us and the blessings He has given us. This type of joy and enthusiasm should be shared with all people, and it should be a reminder that God is always near us.
In conclusion, the Bible is full of verses that talk about excitement and joy. These verses provide us with examples of how to remain joyful in all circumstances, celebrate our accomplishments, and maintain a sense of enthusiasm and wonderment. Additionally, they remind us to share our joy and excitement with others, so that it can be a source of encouragement and blessing to others.

So common you found a CPOS interface with E1 links. Normally, to use the full bandwidth of the CPOS interface, STM-1 link should be provided. But in some situations the telecom company only provides you with a number of E1 links. So, How we can overcome this constrained environment?
First, Knowing that each CPOS interface consists of a group of E1 channels. Here we will discuss a real case. Telecom company only provided 10 E1 links. We have a topology of two connected routers through a WAN link (10 E1 links) using CPOS STM-1 interfaces. Here below a typical configuration. After giving the first router the name of RouterA. And the second will take the name of RouterB.
Here we did bundle the 10 E1 links in one bundle to act like one physical link.

Rep. Phil Gingrey Offers Bill to End Chain Migration
Rep. Phil Gingrey
Tue, Feb 15th 2011 @ 10:47 am EST
Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) has introduced H.R. 692 that would would eliminate the extended family visa categories (e.g., married sons and daughters of citizens, etc.), thus ending "chain migration" as recommended by the bi-partisan Barbara Jordan Commission in 1997. Current immigration law allows U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents to sponsor non-nuclear, adult family members, creating an endless chain of mass legal immigration. Rep. Gingrey's bill would end this practice by disallowing all adult family members from receiving legal permanent residency.
H.R. 692, which is one of NumbersUSA's top legislative priorities, would reduce the number of annual issuance of family-sponsored visas by more than 100,000. The impact wouldn't only be felt immediately, but would have a major impact on future immigration numbers.
"Chain migration categories multiply every mistake made in the immigration system and ultimately are responsible for more than half of all immigration," NumbersUSA President and CEO Roy Beck said. "And they cause much of illegal immigration by enticing millions of foreign citizens to believe that they eventually have a right to come to the U.S. so why not just come illegally and wait for their time."
In a change from previous versions, Rep. Gingrey's new bill would also eliminate the parents category and instead create a renewable visa class for the parents of U.S. citizens. However, the parents would not be eligible to work in the United States and a U.S. citizen son or daughter would have to provide satisfactory proof that they can financially support their immigrant parents, including proof of health care coverage while the parents are residing in the United States.
Check your Action Board for a fax to your Congressperson, urging them to co-sponsor H.R. 692.

Ciao and a very warm welcome to my family travel blog!
My name is Marta. I am an Italian expat in Ireland, a wife, a mother of two amazing children, a lover of travel, food, books, and an avid home exchanger.
I am from Rome, Italy, but for the last ten years, I have been living in Dublin, Ireland. I originally moved here to stay close to my now husband, Philip, and this welcoming city has since become our home. Our two kids were born here: Mr M, also called The Bear (currently 8) and Little Ms E, aka the Rabbit (currently 6).
Cultural travel is defined as a a type of travel that emphasizes experiencing life within a foreign culture, rather than from the outside as a temporary visitor. For a cultural travellers, travel is an immersive experience: it involves tasting new food, learning a new language, be exposed to different and sometimes challenging traditions and in general have experiences that make you get a taste of what life must be like if we were born or lived in a different part of the world.
My first travel experience goes back to childhood family holidays. I am from Rome and one of the great things about growing up in continental Europe is how easy it is to hop in a car and drive from one country to the next.
I still remember how we did it. On an oppressive, hot summer day we would pack up the boot of our car with a tent, a basket of low-tech camping gear (battered tin cups is what stuck to my memory) and the huge amount of books and we would head North, letting curious names of places or main landmark decide our stops.
They were quintessential road trips and I used to enjoy them to no end.
It was independent family travel, a perfect blend of adventure, fun and education, and now that I have children of my own, the kind of experience I most of all wish to share with them.
DESTINATIONS MENU: here you find a drop down list of all the destinations we have visited so far. The articles in this section contain trip reports, destination guides, itineraries suitable for families and recommendations for family accommodation, the one thing we spend the most time looking for!
Italy (where I am from), Ireland (where we live now), Iceland, Portugal, Spain, The Netherlands and USA (California in particular).
HOW TO GUIDES: in this section, we have posts with practical advice about travelling with kids: tips about flying with children, packing lists etc. These guides are especially useful to families with young kids who may be concerned about the practicalities of travelling with buggies, strollers and catering for small ones while on the go.
TRAVEL RESOURCES/REVIEWS is the menu collecting specific reviews of travel products and brands we recommend as well as our favourite travel resources such as booking sites, deal finders etc. This is an ever growing list and has reviews of gear, accommodation, tours and attractions we personally test during our travels.
I hope you enjoy our blog and if you want to follow our travels as they happen, don't forget to like our page on facebook and to follow us on instagram!

Agendas and ambitions
SUKUMAR MURALIDHARAN in New Delhi
Print edition : April 11, 1998 T+ T-
Although the Opposition is far from mounting a united challenge, the BJP will be constrained in its bid to consolidate its position owing to the pursuit of sectoral agendas by its partners in government.
ITS precarious majority of 13 in the Lok Sabha is only a partial indicator of the A.B. Vajpayee Ministry's prospects. The more crucial factors are likely to be qualitative in nature. As Parliament adjourned after a brief sitting in which it granted the Ministry a vote of confidence and adopted a motion of thanks for the President's address, the BJP-led Government seemed more secure than its slender margin of votes in the Lok Sabha indicated.
Nothing can be said with certainty in a context where a host of bit players could exert an influence over the fortunes of the Ministry. Each of these participants in the BJP alliance is, however, inhibited by a dearth of choices. Walking out of the alliance would mean surrendering the rewards of association with the ruling dispensation without any immediate benefits accruing from the other side. An alignment with either the Congress(I) or the United Front is ruled out for most constituents of the alliance owing to the adversarial presence of certain other parties ranged with the Congress(I) and the U.F. The Samata Party, for instance, cannot walk into an alliance that affords the Rashtriya Janata Dal any weight.
Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee arrives in Parliament on March 27.-AJIT KUMAR/ AP
At the same time, the state of gridlock that has seized the Opposition and prevented any kind of an engagement between its two main components, remains. Certain elements within the U.F. are receptive to the idea of active political collaboration with the Congress(I). Others remain lukewarm, but see association with the Congress(I) as a necessary evil in the struggle against the BJP.
If these factors should contribute to the internal solidarity of the ruling coalition, there are a number of fissiparous tendencies arising from the relentless pursuit of sectional agendas by the partners. Jayalalitha remains the most immodest in projecting these demands at the national level, though others are unlikely to lag behind for very long.
The unprecedented division of labour within the Finance Ministry is the first outcome of the BJP's compulsion to accommodate Jayalalitha's demands. Other monitory warnings by members of the Union Cabinet - Vazhapadi K. Ramamurthy's dismissive statement that the corruption cases against Jayalalitha would be taken care of by the Central Government, Rangarajan Kumaraman-galam's remark that the people of Tamil Nadu would soon be afforded their "relief" from the DMK Government - point to pressures within the ruling coalition that may not easily be contained.
One of Jayalalitha's key demands has been rejected by Vajpayee himself on at least two occasions - the last one being his reply to the debate on the President's address in the Rajya Sabha. The AIADMK leader, who was in Delhi that day, made it clear that she remained undeflected from her basic demand. She could prove accommodative on the question of timing, though the outer limit of her patience could be set by her own volatility and by the vigour with which the DMK administration in her State pursues the multiplicity of cases against her.
OF the many blocs that are conjoined in governance, only a handful could exert a decisive influence over the fortunes of the Vajpayee Ministry. The Samata Party and the Akali Dal are partners of relatively long vintage, which have stakes in regional politics that may necessitate a continuing alliance with the BJP. But the Samata is also impatient to regain a firm foothold in the politics of Bihar. Its eagerness to pursue the criminal indictment of Laloo Prasad Yadav in the animal husbandry scam may establish an uncomfortable asymmetry with the BJP's need to go slow on the investigations against Jayalalitha.
The Akali Dal, for its part, is likely to remain focussed on the agrarian economy of Punjab, perhaps even to the exclusion of the wider necessities of financial prudence. The Minister in charge of Food, Surjit Singh Barnala, is keen to offer a generous bonus to the farm sector in the food procurement season that has just begun. In the prevailing fiscal situation, this would almost axiomatically translate itself into an extra price burden for the consumer, with attendant political pressures from State governments.
Figures recently unveiled by Finance Minister Yashwant Sinha reveal a fiscal apparatus that has been strained by a legacy of miscued calculations over the years. This is a circumstance that hobbles the BJP Government at its moment of birth, and severely constricts its ability to respond to the sectional pressures it is subject to (see separate story).
This may not have been the fundamental concern behind Vajpayee's dramatic disavowal of any further part in electoral politics. Rather, it may be more accurate to read this as one of the flourishes that he is prone to, as a part of his oratorical style. And the context in which Vajpayee made clear his renunciatory intent - his reply to the debate on the President's address in the Lok Sabha - seems to suggest that he was overwhelmed not by the bleak fiscal situation, but by the deep-seated structural maladies in the political system. In particular, the Prime Minister seemed discomfited by the manoeuvres that he had been compelled to undertake as part of the process of assuming office.
Yet the eagerness with which BJP members sought to placate their leader seemed to suggest that there was considerable substance in pre-election speculation that Vajpayee's tenure in office was merely a stop-gap arrangement. The "mask" was a recurrent metaphor of the parliamentary debate as a characterisation of Vajpayee's role in the BJP. In throwing up his arms in despair at the state of political activity in the country, Vajpayee allowed the mask of equanimity to slip momentarily.
Significantly, Vajpayee chose to put his personal credibility on the line, rather than his party's image, as he sought to dispel apprehensions that his Ministry would be governed by an unstated agenda. Invoking his long years of political experience, he asked the Lok Sabha whether it appeared that a "hidden agenda" could be executed under his authority.
These possibly represent a precursor to growing discord within the BJP over its course of coalition government. Increasingly, as it goes along on the path of conciliation and accommodation, it is likely to run the risk of a collision with the inflexible core of its ideology. The room for manoeuvre is limited both in the economic and political domains - in the former by the hard realities of fiscal arithmetic and in the latter by the curious mesh of cross-ideological loyalties that underpin the ruling alliance. On various occasions in the past, the BJP has shown that it remains an unreconstructed advocate of an adventurist as the most convenient escape from these irksome constraints. If its ideological mentors prove true to form, then the BJP may soon be impelled into gambling away the promise of stability in a climactic effort to win the unchallenged status of India's ruling party.

Prvi je bio pionir hrvatskog zrakoplovstva, avijatičar i konstruktor, a drugi kipar koji je u kući stanovao i u potkrovlju imao svoj atelijer do smrti 1972. godine. Njegove su skulpture danas pohranjene u Muzeju grada Splita. Prizemlje glavnog pročelja na Zadarsku ulicu je građeno u kamenu; a ukrasi portala i istaknutog vijenca su neostilske i secesijske provenijencije. Katovi su oblikovani kao ravna zidna ploha s duboko usječenim prozorima, s oslikom spirala i stiliziranih vitica vinove loze na crvenoj podlozi. Kuća Bulimbašić, iako vremenski izlazi iz okvira secesije, svojim je dekorativnim i konstruktivnim elementima trajna reminiscencija na ovaj stil i izdvaja se u pregledu arhitekture secesijskog sloga u Splitu.

Q: How to change and apply the responder? screenshot
I am studying the Instagram profile view.
What I want is a way to pass the touch event that occurs in the collectionview to the scrollview.
I want to use the default scroll of scrollview. Because for smooth scrolling
I think it should be passed to ScrollView using ResponderChain.
Since there are many views in the collectionview, hittest is not likely to be used.
How can I pass the touch event that happened in the collectionview to the scrollview?
If you can't pass the touchevent, do you have to move and animate scrollview offset directly using Pangesture?
in collectionView code
var scrollView: UIScrollView?

override var next: UIResponder? {
        guard let scrollView = scrollView else {
            return nil
        }
        return scrollView
    }

I have failed with this code but any solution?
Thanks for viewing my question.

Today was day 2 of major announcements in technology, Apple's iPhone 3.0 Software Preview (video of full announcement should be up on that link soon). For me, the past two days have been quite busy on multiple fronts with all the announcements being just one of them. When days like this occur I end up finding interesting sites and leaving browser tabs open until my computer starts to scream "no more!". So I'm hitting things in reverse and posting some thoughts on the Apple announcements before I post my thoughts on yesterday's Cisco announcement (then I can close some of my browser tabs).
First, if you don't want to sit through the video of the Apple Preview, check out the archive of live comments from engadget (scroll to the bottom on work up) or Don MacAksill's live twittering.
Second, I have to classify myself as a business-geek users of my iPhone and my comments will flow from this classification. I use it primarily for business items like monitoring exchange email, moving between meetings in my exchange calendar, and doing more calls that I care to admit in a day. But I love it for the fact that I can all my geek stuff on it as well because it is an application platform (much like my old Palm Treo was). Using applications like a Twitter client, WordPress client, Webex client, Netflix client, and others social networking clients allow me to interact will all the web services I want or need. And then all the photo applications to allow me to extend my photography addiction to the phone. All that being said, it's the business side of stuff that really drives my use (not to mention pays the bills for the iPhone).
Fix the lag with larger Contact databases. There are times when opening or working with my contacts just hangs. When 2.0 was released I heard that it was because the system wasn't designed for large contacts lists. I work in sales, I have thousands of contacts in my phone and I never know which ones I may need.
Fix the contact search feature. This scrolling to find someone is such a waste of time. The search feature works much better because after typing 3 characters I usually see the person I'm looking for (see previous bullet item). But the search area scrolls off the screen. Allow me to lock it to the screen so it is my default view. My Treo excelled at this.
Tethering: there are still times when I need to have my laptop connected to the internet to accomplish something while I'm out and mobile (though less frequently now that the WebEx client is available), give me this safety net.
So, from what I can tell…25% of what I want is in 3.0.
Copy/Paste. I don't buy the excuse of "security was an issue" as to why it took so long to have this. This has always been a black eye on the iPhone. BTW: I still want clickable phone numbers in calendar invites…and I want it to auto dial the passcode for conference lines (since I'm asking).
universal search. But what would be nice is if you could build search filters that could be linked to a button on the spotlight home screen. Maybe I want to search just contacts and calendars when I type something in to cut the huge list of results. Would be nice if I could just have a customized filter button below my search window..type the text and then my custom filter button to see my results.
Voice Memos: this is nice, but will need to see how this is different from other voice recording apps currently available (Jott, Evernote). Now this is where Apple needs to be careful not ot add built in apps that will alienate their app developers.
I should be interesting to see how app developers use the new APIs and features..I can already see some interesting things coming with the peer to peer capability. Can't wait for the free upgrade.

The fascinating psychology of why we play casino games
June 18, 2018 June 18, 2018 AbrahamTips Articles
Whether you're always hungry for the next online casino bonus or just enjoy a casual game of cards with your friends, playing games is something that we, as a species, find deeply appealing. But why is this? From an evolutionary perspective, what do we as a species gain by regularly playing games?
There are a few prominent theories on why playing is such a major component of our psychological make-up. The first is a fairly simple one that's observed in the animal kingdom: playing is a means to practice the skills you'll need as an adult and this is why children have a natural drive to play and engage in games. For instance, in animals, you see this in behaviour where lions and their cubs will engage in mock fights to practice pouncing and stalking. An example of this is in the video below where cubs will simulate attacking their father to cause a reaction. While his response appears to be a warning, it helps to drive home the lesson that their actions are having the desired effect and helps them learn.
This example is useful because it leads to one of the features that makes similar behaviour desirable in adult humans. As the understanding is that play is a good means to practice skills useful later in life, it seems odd that the desire to play persists into adult life. But being playful, especially with children, can be seen as a positive sign in adults that you'd make a good partner. What's perhaps more interesting is why we play the games we do: while there is an evolutionary argument for games like tag and chess, as they encourage physical and mental development, what about games of pure chance?
While the games may not contribute to developing particular skills, they utilise the same areas of the brain as you would for games like tag and chess with what is known as the reward system. The reward system is a series of different areas in your brain that, primarily, are involved in the manufacture of dopamine, a neurotransmitter which has historically been associated with pleasure, but is now more commonly believed to mediate incentive salience, i.e. the feeling of wanting something. Essentially, it helps discern certain actions as those which are worth repeating, which is very useful in learning and development, but can be problematical under certain circumstances. This isn't the only result of dopamine, it serves a myriad of functions in the human body, but for now we're focusing on dopamine's role in the reward system and, specifically, an effect called the 'near-miss' phenomenon.
It's primarily been observed in gamblers, but the phenomenon can affect anyone. When we lose by a narrow margin at something, we still receive a release of dopamine from the reward system that encourages us to try again based on the belief we nearly won last time. For example, if you're playing on a slot machine and get two matching symbols and one symbol a single row out of alignment, your brain will release a reward because of how close you were to accomplishing your goal. This seems odd because even if you 'nearly' won, the result was totally random and you definitely lost. But it starts to make sense when you consider that dopamine isn't a strictly 'pleasure' chemical, it helps you mediate your motivation. Thinking of it in evolutionary terms, if you go hunting for food and only find a few empty bushes with no fruit, it benefits you to keep looking as you still need food. This motivation is important and so, if you fail to achieve a goal but come close, your brain will encourage you to try again.
This is generally a good thing but can lead to problems where playing games is concerned as you can end up with a false impression of probability. While the example given here is usually one of gambling, it can apply to just about anything where chance is a factor. This is because our brains are pre-disposed to attempt to find patterns even in an area where there is no pattern to be found, through a process called pattern recognition. This, combined with the 'near-miss' phenomenon, can make certain games seem as though you are 'due' for a win after a consistent series of losses through what is known as the gambler's fallacy.
The brain is still not fully understood, but at least when it comes to our predisposition to play games, we have a good understanding of what motivates us to play (the reward system) and why we retain the behaviour into adult life.

The National Cancer Institute estimates that, based on current rates, 7 percent (1 in 14) of people born today will be diagnosed with lung cancer at some time in their lives. This estimate is based on cancer statistics for the years 2000 through 2002.
Because rates of lung cancer increase with age, estimates of risk at specific ages are more meaningful than estimates of lifetime risk.
On January 1, 2003, in the United States there were approximately 354,989 men and women alive who had a history of lung cancer -- 173,431 men and 181,558 women. This includes any person alive who had been diagnosed with cancer of the lung, including people with active disease and those who are cured of their disease.

National Green Hydrogen Mission gets approval
Aditya Nair
By 2030 the mission will promote the development of green hydrogen of 5 MMT per year
India's Union Cabinet approved the National Green Hydrogen Mission on 4th January 2023, with a budget of Rs 19,744 crore, with the goal of making it a global hub for hydrogen manufacturing.
"The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved the National Green Hydrogen Mission," Union Minister Anurag Thakur said.
Its initial budget is Rs 19,744 crore, which includes Rs 17,490 crore for the SIGHT programme, Rs 1,466 crore for pilot projects, Rs 400 crore for R&D, and Rs 388 crore for other mission components.
By 2030, the mission will promote the development of green hydrogen production capacity of at least 5 MMT (Million Metric Tonnes) per year, along with the addition of 125 GW of renewable energy capacity.
Over 6 lakh jobs will be created by 2030 as the company invests more than Rs 8 lakh crore in the project.
As part of the Mission, a number of benefits will be realized, including the creation of export opportunities for green hydrogen and derivatives, the decarbonization of the industry, mobility, and energy sectors, the reduction of reliance on fossil fuels and feedstocks, the creation of jobs, and the development of cutting-edge technology.
Creating demand for green hydrogen, producing it, using it, and exporting it will be easier under the Mission. Strategic Interventions for Green Hydrogen Transition Programme (SIGHT) provides two distinct financial incentive mechanisms aimed at the domestic manufacturing of electrolysers and green hydrogen production.
In addition, the Mission will fund pilot projects in emerging end-use sectors and production pathways. Green Hydrogen Hubs will be identified and developed in regions capable of supporting large-scale hydrogen production and/or utilisation, according to the minister.
The Mission will also facilitate a public-private partnership framework for R&D (Strategic Hydrogen Innovation Partnership – SHIP). To develop globally competitive technologies, R&D projects will be goal-oriented, time-bound, and appropriately scaled up. A coordinated skill development programme will be implemented as well.
All concerned ministries, departments, agencies, and institutions of the federal and state governments will take focused and coordinated actions to ensure the Mission's success.
According to him, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy will be in charge of the Mission's overall coordination and implementation

Do you think the Browns lose enough games to secure a top-2 pick and the chance to select one of the top QB1s??
Which teams are likely to be in the running, and where do the Browns stand in the race?
I wanted to get an idea of which teams are likely to be in the running for the top 2-3 picks in the 2018 draft with the thought in mind that it is somewhat likely that 2 of Sam Darnold, Josh Allen, Josh Rosen, Riley Ferguson, and Luke Falk (if healthy and continue their progression) will come off the board 1 and 2 as franchise QB1s. Talent-wise it's Darnold and Allen all day if they continue to progress and stay healthy.
Beyond my own personal knowledge of teams/coaches, to find out the trash versus impact talent composition of teams, I looked over the rosters/projected depth charts of all the nfl teams on rotoworld (http://www.rotoworld.com/teams/depth-charts/nfl.aspx) to get an idea of the roster talent/deficiencies of each team.
I know that these rosters are incomplete and the nfl season does hold some surprises based on players/teams transcending expectations, unexpected injuries that derail successful seasons, and favorable scheduling.
However, it's pretty easy to see which teams are going to be awful..
I think that the Jets have the best chance at getting the #1 or 2 pick followed by the 49ers.
I think the Browns are likely to be the third worse team in the league based on record with an outside chance that the 49ers or Bears end up with the third worse record in the league.
I think the supreme talent QB1 game changers will go 1 and 2.....so, the only way the Browns realistically have a chance at Darnold or Allen (or whoever your #2 QB is) would be if the Bears or Rams finished with the second worst record in the league, thereby allowing us to trade up with them for the pick due to their having Goff and Trubisky as future QB1s already on their respective roster.
Just being nit picky, but the Colts are beyond fine at WR.
But the one advantage that we possess over the Niners and Jets is our draft capital. And that is a highly valued commodity.
Eh. I'd disagree. Hilton is good, but has a defined role that he's best in that isn't a traditional #1. Moncrief is always hurt. Dorsett was suuuuper disappointing in year one. I do like Aiken.
I'd say that "fine" is actually a pretty good way to describe their situation. They could use an upgrade, but won't die without it.
I would agree...if the teams picking ahead of you don't need a quarterback. If the jets or niners are picking ahead of the browns, and they like the quarterbacks, that capital is meaningless. They aren't moving off the quarterback they like.
Good question, if you think that there will only be 2 good QB prospects in 2018. I do not believe that myself however.
On my personal QB list and rankings, I've said that I see more than two as Luke Falk, Rosen, and Riley Ferguson could all be QB1s.
However, there is no argument in that Josh Allen and Sam Darnold have superior arm talent, far superior athleticism, pocket poise (Darnold) and escapability to throw (Allen).
That will not change as long as those QBs progress or even stay the same.
It will be Darnold and Allen off the board 1,2 for QB needy teams.
I've talked about the Bad for both those players, but the raw talent speaks for itself and will transcend the decision making and INT issues for Allen in the mind's of coaches and evaluators.
As much as I love Rosen's ball placement and Luke Falk's entire Kurt Warner-esque game (sidenote: I have Luke Falk as my number 2 QB based on tape), Josh Allen and Darnold's tools and arm power will guarantee that they are the cream of the crop as long as they don't regress in a major way.
You hit it right on the nail, Forge!
If a non-QB needy team gets in the top 2, the Browns can make an offer they can't refuse.
If not, the draft capital is indeed useless to trade up.
The Jets are a sure-win to get the top spot.
I'm hoping a resurgent Carlos Hyde in a Shanahan offense can do some work to win more than they lose.
We have the more difficult division so that works in our favor.
While I agree that any talk of trade up is dependent on the QB "neediness" of teams who winner fewer games than we, I think that this all is academic.
We are going to win 6-7 or more games and probably will not be in the hunt for a top QB even with our draft pick largesse and with so many holes still on both sides of the ball.
It looks like a draft that could go Mariota and Winston/ Luck and RG3.
It could also be a draft where the top3 players are QB's or even the top 4 could all be QB's taken.
Team 1-2 teakettle QB's they want and then 3rd overall pick goes to the top bidder and the same with no 4.
However I think that we have our 2018 starting QB on the roster, either Kessler or Kizer.
If the texans fail and end up picking 3rd and there is a top QB there we might all away with another kings ransom to drop 4-10 spots, picking up two firsts.
Imagine if Wentz turned into our QB1 and QB2 and 4 first round picks.
The QB situation next year will be really weird. Apparantly 3-4 franchise QBs will be in the draft as of right now but there are not a whole lotta teams who need a QB. Nearly all teams in the NFL sans SF and NYJ either have a above average veteran or a highly drafted 1st or 2nd year QB.
Who are the teams that you know will take a QB next year at the top of the draft?
So I see potentially 13 teams willing to draft a QB in the 1st round. Depending on whos there.
Myself, I am hopeful that our QB situation is answered this year, we finish around 500, and can use the draft next year to put us over the top as a perennial playoff team.
I think it can really happen if our 2nd year WRs take a step forward.
People compare Caleb Brantely to Aaron Donald, but from a physical stand point it is an awful comparison.
Donald ran a 4.68 40 and benched 225lb 35 times, he is a freak.
Brantlye is a lot slower 5.10 and only benched 21 reps at the combine. It is a bad comparison.
Regarding our DT Iwould use Ogjo and Shelton together on clear running situations, one of them in possible run pass situations and then neither when it is pure pass rush.
I like the combination of our UT being Brantley and Des Bryant.
If Brantlys charecter is as bad as advertised I wouldn't be surprisedif he never takes off in the NFL.
it is nice however to be exvcited about our DLine, I haven't been in years, there is so much more talent this year than last year.
Fortunately, IMO 4 QB's could possible go top 10 and it is even possible that QB's will go 1,2 and 3 in the draft, if Sam Darnold and Josh Allen have solid season and Rosen bounces back and has the expected breakout season. They are all very physically talented and their intangibles look to be off the charts.
Jackson could be a later top 10 pick as well, although he cares far morte risk.
Just have to pray that we do not get above 5 wins or it could get dicey as there are a lot of QB desperate teams who are likely to bring up the bottom of the league and therefore trading up could be impossible.


This paper introduces a new stochastic framework of modeling sequences of features that are combinations of discrete symbols and continuous attributes. Unlike traditional hidden Markov models, the new model emits observations on transitions instead of states. In this framework, a feature is first labeled with a symbol and then a set of featuredependent continuous attributes is associated to give more details of the feature. This two-level hierarchy is modeled by symbol observation probabilities which are discrete and attribute observation probabilities which are continuous. The model is rigorously defined and the algorithms for its training and decoding are presented. This framework has been applied to off-line handwritten word recognition using high-level structural features and proves its effectiveness in experiments.
