The Jake is 20 this year, and Indians ownership has decided it's in need of a refresh. While the ballpark was certainly a premier venue during its first decade of operation, the times have changed and the novelty has worn off. Repeating the team's 455-game sellout streak is unlikely as the Jake is too large for today's MLB. And there are aspects of the look and feel of the place that are very 90's. The Indians felt it was time for a wardrobe change, if you will.
Much of the effort will be focused on the outfield, where seating and circulation will be reconfigured. Gate C in center field will be opened up. Currently the gate is a fairly nondescript plaza with some young trees and little signage. Views into and out of the ballpark were obstructed. To remedy this a food court and bar in center will be removed. This is a well conceived transformation, as it's this gate that many fans parking downtown will use (those arriving via the light rail system use Gate A in left field).
The other major change, which can be seen at the top of the sketch above, is the modified upper deck in right field. The Rockies removed seats in their similar RF sections and transformed them into huge rooftop decks at Coors Field. However, unlike in Cleveland where the seating bowl will apparently remain intact, in Denver actual concrete risers were removed. The result at the Jake will be patios that will only face the field. Perhaps the Indians are doing this to preserve seating capacity for the future. Whatever the reason, it's not as interesting as the 360-degree treatment at Coors.
Bullpens will be reconfigured from their "slit" design to terraced next to the batter's eye. The concourses will undergo their own freshening, with bright colors everywhere in the form of paint and vinyl. A kids play area will be expanded. Current capacity is 43,000. As a result of the RF changes, capacity will drop to 37-38,000. The changes should at least attract fans who haven't been to the yard in a while, though in Cleveland, only winning will keep bringing them back. I'm glad I got a chance to visit before the Jake undergoes this facelift.
if and when the a's ever build their park here win the bay area be it sj or oak, seems like 38k-40k would be sort of the sweet spot.
cisco field was initially what 32k but then you had that mlb report that said they wanted the capacity increase?
@letsgoas – Yes, 36k was the reported new capacity.
Problem I have with these changes is they don't really solve the problem. The problem is those stadiums now have too many seats, particularly Coors. It would have made more sense to simply demolish the Rockpile in the off season than to fill up whole sections with what will end up being rarely used bar rails. Cleveland was harder due to it being in the upper deck, but I can't be the only one that finds their particular solution kind of unsightly.
I think one thing that has become clear though is that for most teams on most days 38-40k would have been the ideal size for most ballparks, not the 42-45 that most of the new stadiums went with during the boom years of the late 90's. Then again who knows, in a few years we may be booming again and now the 38k stadiums will have too few seats.
too few isn't really a business problem. It allows for higher ticket revenue.
1. If the A's build this on the Coli site, they should be able to build it how they damn well please, whereas in San Jose, they would be building it in the manner that MLB allowed it to be built.
2. There's little reason to believe attendance will skyrocket with a new stadium at the same site in Oakland. In San Jose, I think there was a chance that casual South Bay fans would become season-ticket holders in downtown San Jose. I don't think that demographic will dramatically change their viewing behavior with a brand-new stadium in Oakland at the current site…so there's no need to make the stadium bigger than the currently-tarped capacity.
My hunch, which I'm guessing is unpopular here, is that a new A's stadium at the same site would equal more expensive tickets with the same amount of people attending games. Which is why I don't want the place to have 15K empty seats. I hope they learn from Cleveland and build a cool, unique 32K, two-deck stadium. Create some intimacy and exclusivity.
Man with this new format I better never again hit 'reply' to a reply. My text is like six inches long. It looks an AthleticsNation battle between PaulThomas and Grover circa 2009.
i think 36k-38k would be ideal for an a's park.
what have been the smallest mlb parks built during this past 20 year era of new parks being built? mia's new park that opened a couple of years ago that has a capacity of just over 37k.
there are 4 new parks that have a capacity of under 40k.
three other venues that were built decades ago also have less than 40k capacity.
coors(col), us cell(chw), and now progressive(cle) have seen their capacity reduced.
comerica(det), fenway(box), wrigley(chc), kaufmann(kc), at&t(frisco), citi(num), dogers(lad), global life(tex), and petco(sd) have increased their capacity over the years.
I agree with you, I think 36-38,000 is perfect.
Actually Petco's capacity has remained largely unchanged.
I think that with a new Oakland stadium, the A's are still a 25K per night team, but with higher prices. I think those higher prices are harder to justify if there's 10K empty seats.
Only 6 teams in baseball averaging 36k or higher?
I don't think the goal is to build capacity for the average.
I think the A's in a new venue could average a bit higher then 25,000, but that's probably not to far off.
I think the goal SHOULD be to sell out every game, for years…as the Indians did. Then it becomes a streak that gets positive publicity. A streak that the entire fan base wants to keep alive. I think that multi-year sell-out attendance streak is possible if the A's build the lowest-capacity stadium in MLB, and I think they should.
I am not saying the goal should not be to sale out every game (that sounds wonderful), and Cleveland had a nice run, when they first opened their new ballpark, but if we build simply as close to an average as possible then, why stop at 32K, why not make it 24K, after all that's the average?
I don't disagree, with most of your thinking, you say 32K (I guess that's because it may be the minimum MLB will allow?), and I say 36-38K, which is close enough.
Umm, yeah, look how well that's worked for Cleveland.
I'm thinking it would've been a better idea just to rip out the upper deck sections that go past the RF foul pole, and open it up to some views (then again, it's Cleveland, maybe you don't want a view). This looks like a lot of effort to accomplish not much.

Q: Discord.py: list index out of range when assigning elements to variables I have a command inside a cog to solve a quadratic equation.
The user must send the command followed by three numbers separated with spaces, my function looks like this:
async def general(self, ctx, nums):
    try:
        num = map(int, nums.split())
        new_list = list(num)
        for num in new_list:
            if num < 0:
                raise ValueError

        a = new_list[0]
        b = new_list[1]
        c = new_list[2]

        root = (b ** 2) - (4 * a * c)
        x1 = (-b + math.sqrt(root)) / (2 * a)
        x2 = (-b - math.sqrt(root)) / (2 * a)

        await ctx.send(f"X1: {x1}\nX2: {x2}")

    except ValueError:
        await ctx.send("Error message")

If I send the command .general 1 1 -2 I get the next error:
b = new_list[1]
IndexError: list index out of range

When adding a print(new_list) seems like the function is only saving the index [0], also I tried with deleting the for but it keeps on giving me the same error.

A: Your error is that you forgot to add a * inside your function parameters. Since there isn't a *, your function is only seeing the first argument after the command name (in your case, it sees '.general 1'). Changing it to this should fix it. You can read about this in the discord.py documentation.
async def general(self, ctx, *, nums):
    try:
        num = map(int, nums.split())
        new_list = list(num)

Federal commission highlights harms and civil rights violations for women in prison
"Incarcerated women continue to experience physical and psychological safety harms while incarcerated and insufficient satisfaction of their constitutional rights," the commission noted.

When Naomi Blount was sentenced to the State Correctional Institution Muncy in 1982, there were maybe 300 or 400 women there, and she had a cell to herself.
"Then as the years passed by and the population stated growing, that's when they started doubling us up — and then quadrupling us up," said Blount, a former lifer who received commutation after 37 years and now works for the Pennsylvania Board of Pardons.
What she witnessed firsthand was a 600% increase in the female prison population in Pennsylvania — a trend mirrored in many other parts of the country.
A report from the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights released Wednesday found that prisons around the country have failed to manage that growth in a way that protects female prisoners and serves their needs.
Despite federal reforms, including the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), "incarcerated women continue to experience physical and psychological safety harms while incarcerated and insufficient satisfaction of their constitutional rights," the commission noted.
It found that women are subjected to disproportionately harsh punishments in prison, frequently lack access to the same programs and services available to men, and risk alienation from their families or even losing parental rights.
And, the commission concluded, "sexual abuse and rape remain prevalent against women in prison." It noted that PREA required the establishment of a prison-rape review panel that would hold annual public hearings; the panel has not met since 2014.
The commission made 34 recommendations, from trauma-informed disciplinary policies, to stronger PREA enforcement, to providing free feminine-hygiene products.
However, many of the problems facing women in prison require cultural as well as policy change, said Claire Shubik-Richards, executive director of the Pennsylvania Prison Society.
In a review of three months of complaints by female prisoners to the Prison Society, she found nearly half were related to harassment by staff. The rest were connected to lack of access to health care or to conditions of confinement.
"Complaints about harassment from correctional staff are pretty rare from incarcerated men, but it's the number-one reason why incarcerated women and their families are contacting us," she said. "Particularly at Riverside" — Philadelphia's county jail for women — "that is a frequent concern."
The commission's findings, that prison systems designed for men are fundamentally ill-equipped to house and rehabilitate women, are underscored by a series of lawsuits that have been filed around Pennsylvania in recent years.
Su Ming Yeh of the Pennsylvania Institutional Law Project, which has litigated many of those cases, said those shortcomings often arise around access to health care.
"For instance, county prisons often don't have the staffing to have a full-time OB-GYN on staff, and that affects women's health," she said. "Along those lines, because there are fewer women incarcerated, they often suffer from the lack of equal treatment, equal conditions, and equal access to programs."
One lawsuit, in Allegheny County, successfully stopped the jail from housing pregnant women in solitary confinement. Another, in Berks County, fought to give women on work release access to the same low-security housing men enjoyed. (A federal judge found the prisoners were facing illegal gender discrimination; the county responded to the lawsuit by shutting down the reentry housing for all prisoners, male and female.) In Lebanon County, a woman recently sued the jail for shackling her during childbirth, in violation of state law.
Many of the issues the commission cited pertain to childbirth, and what follows.
"Reports from incarcerated women include prison officials ignoring early symptoms of potential miscarriage until too late to intervene, failing to transport laboring women to the hospital, and forcing them to give birth in their cells alone," the commission noted.
And for mothers in prison, maintaining a relationship with kids can be fraught. About 15% of mothers in state prison have no contact with their children, according to the report; 58% never receive visits from their kids.
Women in Pennsylvania state prisons are either at Muncy, about three hours' drive from Philadelphia, or Cambridge Springs, close to seven hours away. The Prison Society runs buses — but, Shubik-Richards said, "one of the things that we find concerning is that our buses to Cambridge Springs and Muncy are some of our least popular."
County jails are closer to home, but the visiting-room policies can be discouraging, either through limited hours, noncontact visits, or lengthy wait times.
A survey of 50 Pennsylvania county jails recently conducted by an advocacy group, the Dads' Resource Center, found that 28 of the jails did not permit contact visits for parents, and 22 more allowed them only under certain conditions.
In Philadelphia, at a City Council hearing last year, Commissioner Blanche Carney detailed numerous reforms including a lactation program for new mothers, a Girl Scout troop for those with older children, and expanded visiting hours for mothers who give birth while in prison.
Instead of the standard one hour per week of visits, the new mothers are permitted two hours per week with their children, she said.

"The first Retirement Communities Australia forum held in Melbourne in August was a great success, offering a lot of useful information to people thinking about retirement", the organisers said. The forum, held on August 14 at the Spring Street Conference Centre was staged with the aim of helping retirees learn more about retirement and how to make the most out of it. With discussions about where to live, financial planning, lifestyle issues and how to stay fit and healthy as a senior, the Forum covered many of the common questions that retirees face.
The panels and speakers were all experts, respected in their fields, and included healthcare professionals, lawyers, financial advisors and even current retirement village residents.
• Keynote address by Dr Tim Adair from the National Seniors Productive Ageing Centre presenting recent research on the motivations of Australian seniors when considering their retirement living options.
• Financial security in retirement. This included discussions about superannuation, savings, insurance and investment strategies.
• Retirement lifestyle considerations, which covered the different activities available to retirees including health and fitness, travel, continuing education and community engagement.
• Health and wellbeing for seniors which discussed stress management, health promotion, meditation and mind-body medicine.
• Retirement living options, including points around where retirees might want to live, considerations for staying in the family home and the legal aspects of retirement village living. The services and benefits available to retirees were also discussed in-depth during this session.
• Travel and leisure in retirement, which included a discussion about the different travel options available to retirees, particularly those with additional time and flexibility. Destinations within Australia and internationally were covered.
The day finished with an entertaining last session with John-Michael Howson from 3AW discussing life after work.
Overall the day was a great success, and the feedback after the event was extremely positive, as confirmed by Mr Philip. "Many people came up to me at the end of the day asking if we would do it again next year, because they found it incredibly valuable," he said.
Attendees went away from the forum with an increased knowledge of their options in retirement, and an improved understanding about the legal aspects of retirement living, and the many benefits of living in a retirement village.
Aug 29 Retirement Villages and Lifestyle Villages: What's the difference?


Success of individual CCS projects as well as integration of CCS into larger energy systems depend on institutional and organizational support from a variety of contexts. We map stakeholder perceptions from an institutional perspective and present a framework for identifying path dependencies, challenges and opportunities in the dynamic development of the social, political and economic setting around CCS technologies. The analysis is based on data collected on two Finnish CCS demonstration projects; a cancelled retro-fit project for a coal-fired power plant and a recently developed method for mineralizing C02 into stable calcium carbonate. 0ur goal is to examine which uncertainties are considered most significant and most likely to affect the development and employment of CCS technologies.

Effects of Trait Anxiety on Threatening Speech Processing: Implications for Models of Emotional Language and Anxiety
Busch Moreno, Simon; (2020) Effects of Trait Anxiety on Threatening Speech Processing: Implications for Models of Emotional Language and Anxiety. Doctoral thesis (Ph.D), UCL (University College London).
Busch-Moreno_thesis_upload.pdf - Accepted Version
Speech can convey emotional meaning through different channels, two are regarded as particularly relevant in models of emotional language: prosody and semantics. These have been widely studied in terms of their production and processing aspects, but sometimes overlooking individual differences of listeners. The present thesis examines whether greater intrinsic levels of anxiety can affect threatening speech processing. Trait anxiety is the predisposition to increased cognitions such as worry (over-thinking of the future), and emotions such as angst (felling of discomfort and tension), and can be reflected by an overactive behavioural inhibition system. As a result, according to emotional language and anxiety models, emotional prosody/semantics and anxiety might have overlapping neural areas/routes and processing phases. Thus, threatening semantics or prosody could have differential effects on trait anxiety depending on the nature of this overlap. This problem is approached by using behavioural and electroencephalographic (EEG) measures. Three dichotic listening experiments demonstrate that, at the behavioural level, trait anxiety does not modulate lateralisation when stimuli convey threatening prosody, threatening semantics or both. However, these and another non-dichotic experiment indicate that greater anxiety induces substantially slower responses. An EEG experiment shows that this phenomenon has very clear neural signature at late processing phases (~600ms). Exploratory source localisation analyses indicate involvement of areas predicted by the models, including portions of limbic, temporal and prefrontal cortex. The proposed explanation is that threatening speech can induce anxious people to over-engage with stimuli, and this disrupts late-phase processes associated with orientation/deliberation, as proposed by anxiety models. This process is independent of information type until later phase occurring after speech comprehension (e.g. response preparation/execution). Given this, a new model of threatening language processing is proposed, which extends models of emotional language processing by incorporating an orientation/deliberation phase from anxiety models.

Joseph Wolfson, ("Joe"), American surfer (born July 11, 1949, Brooklyn, N.Y.—died Feb. 21, 2000, Los Angeles, Calif.), pioneered the sport of body-boarding, which involved surfing on a shorter, thicker board than the traditional surfboard. A fixture on the California surfing scene since the late 1960s, he earned the nickname "Dr. 360" for his ability to turn completely around—sometimes four and five times in succession—while riding a wave. A lung cancer patient, he attempted suicide in November 1998 by paddling out to sea on his body board but was rescued by fellow surfers; the incident attracted widespread media attention. He died when his car, for unknown reasons, veered off the Marina Freeway.

In addition to daily meal options, school cafeterias also have a variety of snacks and beverages available for purchase. All snack items sold in the cafeteria meet national nutrition guidelines, called Smart Snack Standards, similar to those for the school lunch program. You can learn more about Smart Snacks Standards on the Smart Snacks tab of the Food & Nutrition website.
Parents can contact their student's cafeteria manager any time to place restrictions on a student's ability to purchase snacks. Restrictions can be made in several different ways including setting daily spending limits, allowing snacks on certain days only, or totally blocking all snack sales.


Marketing suites have become the new go-to option for companies in the building sector. It's important to set yourself apart from the competition and showcase your properties in the best possible light and a marketing suite is an easy (and relatively cost-effective) way to do this. They are a highly worthwhile investment for most and here we take a look at some of the main reasons why.
Essentially, a modular marketing suite is a state-of-the-art building designed to drive sales. They create a fantastic first impression of your development. There are so many internal and external finishes to choose from, the possibilities are endless, and you're free to create an impressive space – that will entice customers to come in and put a deposit down on your new homes.
Marketing suites can be tailored to your exact needs and requirements. They are typically made-to-order and you can choose from a wide range of styles, sizes, and finishing options. Keep things small and practical or dare to be bold and attention-grabbing. The choice is yours. You can also incorporate the features and facilities that your staff will need to do their job and secure sales.
A new marketing suite is usually designed with a specific site in mind – but that doesn't mean it has to stay there. All modular buildings are fully relocatable. They can be used time and time again, moved from one building site to another, dependent on the needs of your business. It's also possible to make changes to the suite, adding and removing features in line with your current project.
If you would like to find out more about marketing suites and how they could be of benefit to your company, why not contact an industry-leader – such as Useful Structures.

Up close and personal with the first Saudi F-15SA, the most advanced Eagle ever built
February 1, 2017 Military Aviation, Troubled Areas, Yemen
David Cenciotti
This stunning air-to-air video shows the most advanced variant of the Eagle recently delivered to the Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF).
The Royal Saudi Air Force (RSAF) has officially received its first Boeing F-15SA multirole jets in a ceremony celebrating the 50th anniversary of the King Faisal Air College in Riyadh on Jan. 25, 2017.
Equipped with the APG-63V3 Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar, a digital glass cockpit, JHMCS (Joint Helmet Mouted Cueing System), Digital Electronic Warfare System/Common Missile Warning System (DEWS/CMWS), IRST (Infra Red Search and Track) system, and able to carry a wide array of air-to-air and air-to-surface weaponry, including the AIM-120C7 AMRAAM (Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile) and the AIM-9X Sidewinder air-to-air missiles, the AGM-84 SLAM-ERs, the AGM-88 HARM (High-speed Anti-Radiation Missile) and the GBU-39 SDBs (Small Diameter Bombs) on 11 external hardpoints, the F-15SA, derived from the F-15E Strike Eagle, is the most advanced Eagle variant ever produced.
Back in 2010, the RSAF requested 84 new-built F-15SA jets and upgrade package for 68 existing Saudi F-15S fighters for a total of 152 multirole advanced Eagles through a Foreign Military Sale: a contract worth 29.4 billion USD that included logistics, spares, maintenance support and weapons was eventually signed on Dec. 29, 2011.
Therefore, instead of the 5th gen. F-35 Lightning II, Saudis (that already operate the 4th gen. Eurofighter Typhoon) opted for a 4.5th generation jet able to perform several missions, including SEAD/DEAD (Suppression/Destruction of Enemy Air Defenses), OCA (Offensive Counter Air) and Air Interdiction with precision guided munitions from stand-off distance.
The newest aircraft's predecessor, the Saudi F-15S, have taken part in the air strikes in Yemen, as part of Operation Decisive Storm, the Saudi Arabian-led intervention in Yemen, since Mar. 26 2015. A RSAF F-15S crashed in the Gulf of Aden during the opening day of the air war; its two pilots ejected safely and were recovered from the sea by a USAF HH-60G rescue helicopter. Although Houthi and Iranian sources stated that the Eagle was shot down, Saudi and Arab coalition authorities denied such reports.
The first F-15SAs arrived at King Khalid Air Base (KKAB) in Saudi Arabia via RAF Lakenheath, on Dec. 13, 2016, the day after the Israeli received their first 5th generation F-35I.
The first aircraft were assigned to the 55th Sqn at KKAB.
The following epic footage (produced by Combat Aircraft's editor Jamie Hunter and Bob Hayes) shows the first F-15SAs, flying in Saudi Arabia.

Jerry Hatfield says:
I worked at KKAB in the 80's with the Northrop Peace Hawk program (F-5's) when the first F-15 began to arrive. I expect things stress quite different there 30 years later. It was actually very laid back (Fur Saudi Arabia) in the early 80's.
leroy says:
I doubt that the Saudi pilots are worth a damn, but they sure did buy some nice aircraft. The 3rd best on the planet behind the F-22 and F-35. Which is #1? That's a toss-up between the Raptor and Lightning 2, but the Eagle definitely takes 3rd place.
KLD says:
Considering the extremely deep pockets of the Saudi's, I wonder how many hours flight time their pilots get per month?

I would love to see the US buy a few squadrons of those to replace older 15s/augment the F-22s since we will be flying them for a while longer.

I bet you don't know the real history of the gin and tonic. It's crazy.
Turns out your favorite drink might have a super-weird history.
James Gaines
This story is about gin and tonics. But it starts with Britain taking over India.
Actually, it wasn't even Britain that did that at first. Let's back up even further, to where the story actually starts, which is with a trading company in the 1600s called the British East India Company.
Long story short, the East India Company came to India and they were like, "Oh, hey, is it OK if we put a factory here in this coastal city?"
India was like, "Yeah OK, I guess." But then the company was like "OK, well, how about a shit-ton of factories everywhere? Is that OK?"
And India was like, "Uhh, no, what? Don't do that. We don't like that."
So the company was like, "Oh, OK, no, we totally understand, all good!" And then they sent in their private army to take over a bunch of stuff and claim it as their own. Seriously.
Of course, India ended up fighting back, but then the whole United Kingdom got involved and just took over India, 'cause it was the 1800s and people didn't understand how colonialism was super messed up.
At this point, India was suddenly under British rule. Which the British really liked. Oh, except for the malaria.

Things seemed really bad for everyone involved. But then! Someone remembered this tree in Peru that had a special property that helped prevent malaria. "Why don't we grind it up into a powder and call it quinine and all not die?" this person said.
"Good idea," said the British.
England came up with a great plan of giving this new anti-malaria medicine to its soldiers. Smart!
So every soldier now had a daily ration of quinine. But there was one problem: It tasted super bad. Like, really, really bad. It's super bitter. Even if you add water and a ton of sugar, it's still super funky.
Then someone had the bright idea of adding a ton of alcohol to the tonic. Because why not, right? And so the troops were like, "Cool, what alcohol do we have? Oh, here's a ton of gin. Yup, just dump it on in there."
Just duuuuuump it in.
And there you have it: gin and tonic.
All the soldiers were like, "Hey, this is actually kind of nice. Also, I'm no longer dying of malaria!"
Fun fact: It's not just that it tastes better 'cause it's suddenly alcoholic. Turns out, it's actually chemistry that makes it taste so good. A bunch of the different flavor molecules in gin kind of dog-pile onto the super-bitter quinine and hide it from our tongues, making the whole thing taste less bitter and more herbal!
Yay, science!
Eventually, all the British soldiers in India started drinking the ol' G&T.
Then the soldiers went back home to Britain and were like, "Hey, that drink was actually pretty good." So they went down to the bar and were like, "Hey, can I have this random medicine and gin mixed together, please?"
The bartenders were like, "Okaaaaay." And the soldiers were like, "We're going to drink a ton of these and make them super popular."
And then they did.
Oh, and what happened to India?
Well, suddenly it was the 20th century and that whole colonialism fad turned out to be not so popular anymore, especially with the people who, you know, had their countries taken away from them.
So these people started pushing back against British rule and eventually kicked them out in 1947! Woo!
There you go: the twisted, surprising, colonialism-based story of the gin and tonic.
So clink those glasses to weird history. Cheers!

Wayne Taylor Racing Watkins Glen Pre Race Report
It's back to endurance-racing mode for Jordan Taylor and Renger van der Zande and their No. 10 Konica Minolta Cadillac DPi-V.R team, and it couldn't come at a better time.
The second half of the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship kicks off with Sunday's Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen on the iconic Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International road course, and the team finds itself with some ground to make up over the final five events if it is to hoist the championship trophy at season's end for the second time in three years.
Huge momentum after a resounding victory at the season-opening Rolex 24 At Daytona followed by a solid runner-up finish at the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring got sidetracked by race-day issues that led to results of 10th and ninth, respectively, on the street courses in Long Beach, Calif., and Detroit, which sandwiched a sixth-place finish at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington.
Consequently, Taylor, van der Zande and the team find themselves fifth in the championship, 17 points out of first, but arrive at Watkins Glen filled with the hope and confidence they can get back to the business of winning races in bunches.
It's been the endurance races in particular where the team has proven to excel, of late, with a pair of wins and a runner-up finish to show for it. Taylor, van der Zande were joined by IndyCar star Ryan Hunter-Reay in their dramatic victory at last year's 10-hour, season-ending Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta, and promptly followed that up with their victory alongside Formula One veteran Fernando Alonso and former Formula One and current FIA World Endurance Championship regular Kamui Kobayashi at the Rolex 24. Then, at Sebring, a mere 1.030 seconds at the finish separated Taylor, van der Zande and third co-driver Matthieu Vaxivière of France from the team's third consecutive endurance-racing victory.
With this year's Daytona and Sebring results, the team is tied for the lead in the Michelin Endurance Cup "championship within the championship," where points are accumulated in the four marathon races at Daytona, Sebring, Watkins Glen and Road Atlanta. Maintaining that position will be one of the team's priorities at The Glen this weekend, and if successful, it will re-inject some much-need momentum it hopes will last through the latter half of 2019.
Practice for the Sahlen's Six Hours of The Glen begins Friday morning with DPi-class qualifying set for 12:25 p.m. EDT Saturday with live streaming video via IMSA.tv and the IMSA Mobile App beginning at 11:25 a.m. The green flag for Sunday's six-hour race flies at 9:45 a.m. with television coverage by NBCSN set for 7 to 10 p.m. Live video coverage of the entire race is available via the NBC Sports App and at NBCSports.com from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Live timing and scoring during all on-track sessions is available at IMSA.com and via the IMSA smartphone app.

The feature-length movie based on the popular "Carmilla" lesbian-vampire love story web series has begun principal photography in Toronto. The film, whose financial backers include Fullscreen, is slated to be released this fall.
"Carmilla the Movie" (working title) features the stars of the digital series, Elise Bauman and Natasha Negovanlis, who return for the supernatural spinoff film.
Other cast for the movie include Dominique Provost-Chalkley ("Wynonna Earp," "Murdoch Mysteries"), Grace Lynn Kung ("Mary Kills People," "The Strain"), and Cara Gee ("The Expanse," "Inhuman Condition") as well as returning "Carmilla" cast Annie Briggs ("Luvvie," "Murdoch Mysteries"), Kaitlyn Alexander ("Couple-ish," "Full Out"), Nicole Stamp ("The Handmaid's Tale," "First Round Down"), and Matt O'Connor ("Murdoch Mysteries," "Ozion").
The series and film come from Toronto-based Shaftesbury's Smokebomb Entertainment digital studio and its shift2 branded-entertainment agency. The "Carmilla" series, which debuted in August 2014, is sponsored by Kimberly-Clark's U by Kotex feminine-hygiene brand.
The film has been available for pre-order through Vimeo's VHX service (at carmillamovie.vhx.tv) starting at $9.99; Fullscreen's participation indicates that it may be offering "Carmilla the Movie" on its subscription VOD service as well.
Fans of the "Carmilla" digital series, which spans three seasons and encompasses 108 5-minute episodes in all, call themselves "Creampuffs" after a line in the show. The series has generated over 69 million views and 233 million minutes of watch time across all three seasons since its launch. It's available on shift2's YouTube channel KindaTV and subscription video service Fullscreen.
"We are in the unique position of producing a feature film with a massive built-in and ever-growing fan base," said Christina Jennings, chairman and CEO of Shaftesbury. "This film, and the appetite for it, is a perfect example of how we create, connect and ultimately, serve our fans by expanding and extending the brand in new and exciting ways."
Both the movie and the web series are based on the 19th-century cult-classic gothic vampire novella of the same name by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu.
In "Carmilla the Movie," it has been five years since Laura (Bauman) and Carmilla (Negovanlis) vanquished the apocalypse and Carmilla became a bonafide mortal human. They have settled in to a cozy apartment in downtown Toronto; Laura continues to hone her journalism skills while Carmilla adjusts to a non-vampire lifestyle. Their domestic bliss is suddenly ruptured when Carmilla begins to show signs of "re-vamping" – from a fondness for bloody treats to accidental biting – while Laura has started having bizarre, ghostly dreams. The couple must now enlist their old friends from Silas University to uncover the unknown supernatural threat and save humanity – including Carmilla's.
The film is produced by Shaftesbury with the financial participation of Telefilm Canada, the Canada Media Fund, Fullscreen, and Hollywood Suite. "Carmilla the Movie" is directed by Spencer Maybee; story by Alejandro Alcoba ("Degrassi: The Next Generation," "The Next Step"), with a screenplay by Alcoba and Jordan Hall ("Carmilla," "Run Dry"). The film is executive produced by Christina Jennings and Scott Garvie, produced by Bennett, Ouaknine, and Melanie Windle.

197. Gino Parks: "For This I Thank You"
Posted by The Nixon Administration in Gino Parks, Writing credit: Andre Williams, Writing credit: Clarence Paul
Tamla T 54066 (B), July 1962
B-side of Fire
(Written by Andre Williams, Clarence Paul and Joe Hunter)
The flip side of Gino Parks' final Motown release, this excellently slinky R&B excursion turns out to be one of the best things Gino ever recorded with the label.
Opening with Parks' engaging acapella Whoa-ho-hey-heya-heya-hey-yeah, this is very much in the bluesy R&B vein of his previous single Same Thing, but with that song's bristling raucousness replaced with a smooth, smouldering intensity. The chorus, with its short lines and jazz rhythms (For this I thank / You baby / For mending my bah-roken heart / For this I thank / You baby / For giving me a brand new start / You made my love / A-worth givin' / And my life worth livin' / What more can you do? / Hey hey hey, what more can you do?) is a particular highlight, and gets stuck in your head much more than any of Parks' previous efforts.
The oddest thing about this song, though, is that like Eddie Holland's You Deserve What You Got, it suffers a weird disconnect between lyrics and sound. Where Holland's song was a beautiful ballad that turned out to be dripping with bitter spite, this song sounds like an embittered kiss-off to a scorned ex-girlfriend, Parks thanking her for opening his eyes; it's only on further examination of the lyrics that it turns out to be a completely straight love song, Gino thanking his current partner for her loyalty and kindness. It's good, but it doesn't really fit; if Gino had sung something like Eddie's lyrics to this song, it would have been a masterpiece.
Still, it's good stuff all the same, and probably my favourite out of the handful of records Parks cut at Motown. Sad to report, there wouldn't be any follow-ups; the company, with its eyes now firmly on the pop charts, was heading in a new direction, one that didn't have room for a gospel-trained Alabama blues man.

I like the arrangement on this song a lot, especially the percussion. It's one of my favorite b-sides of Motown's "flops." My rating is more generous than yours: 8/10.
mpolzkill said:
Great site, thanks for all the work you've put into this.
Could someone tell me, this drummer isn't the Funk Brothers' drummer is he? Or was he just let loose on these two numbers? Dynamic!
Just from listening to the track, I'd say it very likely is the great Benny Benjamin on the skins here – check out the Twistin' Kings' little-remembered Congo for some very similar (and even more dynamic!) playing.
Thanks for the compliment, it's always nice to know people still enjoy reading this stuff.
Robert Klein said:
There were 3 Funk Brothers drummers: Benny Benjamin, Pistol Allen, and Uriel Jones. All great in their own right. Marvin Gaye, George McGregor and Melvin Davis also played some drums on Motown Detroit recordings, as did several others. It's really tough to think of a good 1960s Detroit session player of any instrument, who didn't record at least one session at Motown.
Paolo di Flynnio said:
7/10 for me, bought a copy as soon as heard it played out.
Interesting that after Motown dropped Gino in early 1964, he didn't get another recording contract until Miss Ray and her New York Jobete Music Office, and Shrine Records partner (and new Husband) Eddie Singleton, recorded him in 1968, for their new, Crazy Horse Records label. He sang a pretty similar fast Bluesy R&B style on that release ("Nerves of Steel"), as well.
Ben Shulman said:
What about Golden World?
nafalmat said:
Yes, surely the Golden World stuff was recorded in 1965/66 after Motown but before the others mentioned.

Love this track. Only just discovered it. Which Williams and Paul wrote this does anyone know. I'd give this 10 out of 10

Working with image registries
================================================================================

When Maestro needs to start a new container, it will do whatever it can
to make sure the image this container needs is available; the image full
name is specified at the service level.

Maestro will first check if the target Docker daemon reports the image
to be available. If the image is not available, or if the ``-r`` flag was
passed on the command-line (to force refresh the images), Maestro will
attempt to pull the image.

To do so, it will first analyze the name of the image and try to
identify a registry name (for example, in
``my-private-registry/my-image:tag``, the address of the registry is
``my-private-registry``) and look for a corresponding entry in the
``registries`` section of the environment description file to look for
authentication credentials. Note that Maestro will also look at each
registry's address FQDN for a match as a fallback.

You can also put your credentials into ``${HOME}/.dockercfg`` in the
appropriate format expected by Docker and ``docker-py``. Maestro, via the
``docker-py`` library, will also be looking at the contents of this file
for credentials to registries you are already logged in against.

If credentials are found, Maestro will login to the registry before
attempting to pull the image.

Benjamin Franklin's Mentoring Group
Much like traditional one-to-one mentoring experiences, group mentorship has been practiced for centuries. As a developmental relationship, it has played a significant role in the learning and growth of individuals, the enhancement and productivity of organizations, and the evolution and progress of whole communities. Benjamin Franklin, as a young entrepreneur in Colonial Philadelphia, established a mentoring group named The Leather Apron Club.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1727 was the fastest-growing city in all of the British settlements—a bustling urban environment of 51,000 colonists. It was on the verge of becoming the commercial, economic, and political power of the Thirteen Colonies—more culturally relevant and influential than the other dominant settlements of the New World. This is the same year that Benjamin Franklin convened friends and colleagues to create a peer mentoring group named The Leather Apron Club. Much of Philadelphia's emergence as a prominent colonial force is due to the work of Franklin and his collaborators.
This secretive society was comprised of men who donned leather aprons as part of their trade—artisans, craftsmen, and merchants. These middle-class entrepreneurs dreamed of a city that would better serve its populace and utilized this forum to realize those dreams. These dozen men discussed issues of the day, debated philosophical topics, devised schemes for self-improvement, and developed a network that allowed for the furtherance of their own careers and tangible improvements to the city.
The Leather Apron Club was a safe space for ideas to simmer and initiatives to unfold. The reflective space for dialogue and relationship-building established an important holding environment. These gatherings resulted in each member engaging in personal growth and professional learning opportunities. Stimulated by Franklin, a particular method was encouraged—the utilization of soft Socratic queries which guided the developmental and democratic dialogue. Suggestions and questions were utilized rather than debate or dictatorial responses. This allowed for each member to pause, enter into a reflective space, forge their own knowledge, engage with their peers, and then author their own decisions.
The Leather Apron Club served as a crux for social change. A multitude of civic improvements rooted in "social utility" and social improvement were devised within the gatherings. Some of the crowning achievements include the establishment of paper currency, a system for regular road repair, and consistent street cleaning. A volunteer fire company, city hospital, educational academy (which would become the University of Pennsylvania), and the first subscription library all were the direct result of these mentoring gatherings.
LiDER utilizes group mentoring to enhance the leadership learning of our participants. For example, our Leadership Training Certificate Program utilizes group mentoring to cultivate synergistic relationships and to more deeply explore leadership theories, effective leadership practices, and facilitation skills necessary to train others in leadership. For more information on group mentoring, see LiDER Executive Director Jonathan Kroll's article:

The 7th Man
"Because that's how we've always done it" is a cringe-worthy statement. It's worse than sharp nails running down a dull chalkboard. It allows us to get trapped in a pattern of mindlessness. It leaves us stuck in ineffective traditions.
The story below highlights what happens when we stop asking questions about effectiveness - and mindlessly engage in work 'because that's how we've always done it':
Just prior to World War II, a military officer was visiting an overseas counterpart to study and learn from his maneuvers. It was a reconnaissance mission. The two officers looked on as an artillery battalion deployed from their trucks and prepared their cannons for a mock attack. The visiting officer leaned toward his counterpart and asked why seven men were assigned to each cannon.
It was clear from the arrangement that there were only six active cannon positions—the seventh simply stood at attention. The host officer quickly shared that there had always been seven-man teams, but he was not sure why. He promised to look into it the next day.
The next morning, the two were enjoying breakfast together when the host officer reported his findings:
"There have always been seven-man teams because the seventh member was responsible for holding the
horses," he noted.
The visiting officer let out a disbelieving chuckle. "But we don't use horses anymore…"
When we stop asking questions about effectiveness, we get trapped in a pattern of mindlessness.
How often do we pause and reflect on our current processes and practices? How many of us have that 7th Man or Woman standing at attention—not assisting in any meaningful way? Leadership is about taking these Because-that's-how-we've-always-done-it moments and transforming them into opportunities for change.
Thrive and Grow
What are great leaders doing differently to make their organizations thrive and grow?
In her TED Talk, Roselinde Torres ponders the possibilities of this question (see below).
The premise of the pondering is that regular leaders—the majority of us—are not positioned or prepared to serve as great 21st century leaders for our organizations. Although more resources are being spent on leadership education and development than ever before, there is a significant concern that our current development and education experiences are not equipping us to serve as the effective leaders our organizations need.
In other words, she suggests there is a leadership crisis! Over the course of a year, Torres researched this crisis under the guise of the question, "what are great leaders doing distinctively different to thrive and grow? She found three critical differences:
Great leaders shape their future rather than react to it. These great leaders are intentional about carving out time and space to reflect upon where the next change will come from. This time engaged in reflection allows great leaders to distill information so important decisions can be made with confidence.
Great leaders are connected to diverse constituents and develop expansive networks. By spending time engaged in activities that broaden perspectives—reading books, traveling, being in community and dialoging with diverse constituents—leaders are able to see connections across systems.
Great leaders dare to be different - they don't just talk about action, they do it. Courage is when leaders act in ways—with confidence and conviction—that allow them to move their vetted ideas along. It is so easy to carry on doing things the way they have always been done.

Stan Lee, a well-known publisher and writer of Marvel Comics, died this Monday in his Los Angeles home. Lee was 95 years old.
Similar to his Marvel Comics Universe (MCU) movie cameos, Stan Lee's death was all-too-sudden and without any warning. Despite his old age, Stan Lee's death was still unexpected. The man lived such a long and wondrous life that similar to David Bowie and Stephen Hawking, seeing his death in your lifetime would be the last thing on your mind. These people were larger than life, after all.
This is even more apparent if you think how much of a multimillion-dollar franchise the Marvel movies are nowadays. Given that context, it's hard to imagine what Lee was like in the early 1940s, who, along with Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, and a bunch of other characters, basically created half of the entire Marvel universe, spawning characters such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, and the X-Men, which tackled issues such as racism and homophobia.
A prolific consumer of art, Lee catapulted Marvel as the world's No. 1 publisher of comic books, growing it from a tiny venture alongside his collaborators. Then tasked with continuing multiple story lines, Lee decided to weave them together in one universe, creating the MCU as we know it today.
2009 saw The Walt Disney Co. buying Marvel Entertainment for $4 billion, a partnership that would spawn top grossing movies such as "Avengers: Infinity War" ($2,003,241,872), "Avengers: Age of Ultron" ($1,405,413,868), "Marvel's The Avengers" ($1,519,557,910) and "Black Panther" ($1,344,966,560).
Ever the humble person, Lee also did not take any royalties from these films despite being their co-creator and even made funny appearances in every single one.
Lee has worked for Marvel for about 66 years, with his overall net worth often estimated up to somewhere between $50 million to $80 million.
Before Lee, most of the comic book superheroes were all one-dimensional characters without depth. Lee recognized this problem, and soon created characters with internal conflicts and have their own motivations. Spider-Man's alter ego, Peter Parker, was a broke teenager struggling with love, Captain America was a goody-two-shoes soldier adjusting to a modern world, and Doctor Strange was a prideful doctor that got his career ruined due to an accident.
The result is a vast pool of superheroes that kids can identify with and aspire to be.
In the 2007 movie "Spider-Man 3," Lee appeared alongside Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker, saying, "You know. I guess one person can make a difference." For someone of his caliber, this statement can't be anymore truer.

What and who makes up your team in the workplace? A team could be those in your little team of 5 in the audit department. Or it could be the team of 50 in the banking department. Or the team of 500 in the chocolate department (I like chocolate).
My current team of 3 us formed of myself, with a couple of plants! But I do actually consider other business owners who I mix with frequently (both online and over lunch/coffee) to be my team members/business associates. As we do work together.
When other SME owners help each other, it's a good thing. I'm not just talking about referrals but I'm talking about advice. Mentoring. Tips. Long-term relationships. We help each other grow, develop and all that deep stuff.
Should anyone you know be looking for business relationships, tell them to join the team of professional networkers. City and Canary Wharf work well for me.

Q: Animate rows through a directive inside a ng-repeat I'm building this application in Angular where a div table is formed by using ng-repeat through the following html:
HTML

{{value.descr}}

{{value.protocol}}

{{value.internip}}

{{value.internrange}}

{{value.externrange}}

            PORT DELETED

                UNDO

The last div of each row, has a visible clickable button which sends a delete order to the server via the deleteport() function, and then, if everything goes all right, starts an animation where the whole cell is hidden and the previously hidden span with class 'deletedportundo' shows up.
Anyway the thing is my controller looks like this:
Angular Javascript Controller
$scope.deleteport = function(e,f) {
    postData.index = f;
    $http.post('serverside/router.php', postData)
        .success(function(data, status, headers, config){
            if (data.status == 'ok') {
                var elem = angular.element(e.target);
                $(elem).parent().parent().parent().children('.cellbody').hide('fast');
                $(elem).parent().parent().children('.toggledelete').toggle();
                $(elem).parent().parent().parent().children('.deletecell').animate({
                width: "100%"
                }, 300 );
                $(elem).parent().parent().parent().children('.deletecell').addClass('macdeleted');
            }
    });
}

Which visually works as expected, except that I am aware that I should not be manipulating the DOM in the controller; I have been unsuccessfully trying to integrate this into a directive, but because every row is independent of the others I have not been able to achieve the desired effect.

A: Daniel,
There is nothing wrong with manipulating DOM in the controller. However, I can suggest an easier way to do it than to navigate with those nasty  parent().parent().parent().parent().parent() ... calls :) .
Just add an ng-show to the toggledelete div, than just do $scope.portDeleted = false in your controller. This also works for the .cellbody tags.
As for the .deletecell class you can use ng-class, and just do $scope.deletecell = some_value.

        PORT DELETED

            UNDO

For animate, you can use ngAnimate (http://www.nganimate.org/)

Opponents file challenge to Block Island wind farm in federal court
Credit: By Alex Kuffner
, Journal Staff Writer | Providence Journal | Posted Aug. 17, 2015 | www.providencejournal.com ~~
PROVIDENCE – Opponents to the offshore wind farm under construction near Block Island have filed a case in federal court seeking to overturn a critical agreement under which developer Deepwater Wind will sell power to utility National Grid.
The complaint was filed last Friday in U.S. District Court in Providence by Benjamin Riggs, Laurence Ehrhardt and the Rhode Island Manufacturers Association. Riggs, a retired manufacturing executive who lives in Newport, and Ehrhardt, a North Kingstown Republican who served in the Rhode Island House of Representatives from 2005 to 2012, are both long-standing opponents of the five-turbine wind farm.
Among the members of the manufacturers association is Toray Plastics, which operates a factory in North Kingstown that is the single largest user of electricity in the state. Toray has tried unsuccessfully on several occasions to have the contract voided – most notably in a 2011 state Supreme Court case – because of the above-market costs of the wind farm.
Those costs, which are at the center of the court case, are estimated at $497 million over the 20-year power purchase agreement between Deepwater and National Grid. They are so high because the starting price in the contract could be as much as 24.4 cents per kilowatt hour – which is more than double the blended price that Rhode Island electric consumers currently pay for power from conventional power plants and some renewable sources. The starting price escalates 3.5 percent each year of the contract.
The plaintiffs argue that the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission violated federal laws governing wholesale electricity markets in 2010 when it approved the deal. Electric markets, the complaint says, are the sole preserve of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, not state agencies, such as the PUC.
"The PUC's Order thus usurps FERC's exclusive role in regulating wholesale transactions, disrupts the wholesale energy markets supervised by FERC, and does so in a manner calculated to favor a new generating facility in Rhode Island over out-of-state facilities that participate in the same regional wholesale markets," the complaint says.
Riggs filed petitions with the FERC in 2012 and again last April alleging that the PUC's decision on the Deepwater contract contravened interstate commerce rules and other federal laws. The commission did not dismiss the complaints but it also did not rule on them, Riggs said. He was advised that if he wanted to pursue his complaints, it would have to be in court.
"The current action is limited to asking the federal government to assert its clear authority over the pricing mechanism for the Deepwater project," Riggs said in an email.
The agreement was key for Deepwater to attract financing for the project, the first offshore wind farm in the nation. The importance of such a pact was demonstrated last year by the Cape Wind proposal in Massachusetts, which fell into limbo after its two power purchase agreements were canceled for failure to meet project milestones.
"This complaint is just as baseless as the last several complaints filed by Mr. Riggs that were quickly and summarily rejected by the proper authorities," Jeffrey Grybowski, chief executive of Providence-based Deepwater, said in a statement. "The project is proceeding at full speed."
A spokesman for National Grid said Monday it had just received a copy of the complaint and was studying it.
This is not the first time federal laws governing energy markets have been invoked in challenging the power purchase agreement. In 2010, before the PUC voted to approve the contract, energy company TransCanada Power said the Rhode Island law governing renewable-power contracts violates the Commerce Clause in the U.S. Constitution because it favors in-state projects.
TransCanada argued that it could sell renewable energy from out-of-state sources at a lower rate than the Deepwater project and sought to cancel the deliberations over the power agreement. The PUC did not grant TransCanada's motion and ultimately ruled in favor of the agreement.

Well the little skank has now officially followed in the older skank's footsteps and even managed to one up her. This morning, little skank smacked her Infiniti (that she did nothing to earn or pay for) into the whore's BMW. At least the older skank only wrecked her own car when she had accident after accident.
Lol. Responsible? Educated? Intelligent? Why be any of those things when you can just marry/divorce men as they hold/lack money?
