3. Match schedule
The calendar will specify the time of the match, the pitch on which it will be played and the corresponding age bracket. A team may have to play more than one match a day, depending on how the group in which it has been put is set up.
The Organisation reserves the right to change groups, schedule, pitches and match times. Delegates from the affected teams will be given notice ahead of time.
4. Duration of matches
According to the age category and whether it is a qualifying, knockout or final match, the matches will have the following durations:
1ST ROUND AND KNOCKOUT MATCHES
2 x 25 min. (No break at half-time)
2 x 30 min. (10 min break at half-time)
5. Age control
Upon arrival, all participants must confirm their age. To do this, the delegate or team leader must submit the original passport or national ID card of each player. Any player who does not present any of these documents will not be allowed to play.
6. Number of players
A maximum of 25 players may be registered per team.
Each team can summon a maximum of 20 players per game.
Players not called up cannot occupy a seat on the bench.
A player who has been substituted can re-enter the field (rotating substitutions).
Substitutions can be made without stopping the game (except in the case of goalkeepers).
For goalkeeper substitutions, the referee must be notified and he must stop the game.
All substitutions must be made on the center field line on the side of the benches.
The substituted player must leave the field before the new player can enter.
Incorrect substitutions will be penalized with a yellow card.
All registered players will be available to the coach for every game and be on the bench.
Any player from one club may be used in different categories. They must be of the right age and enrolled in the corresponding lists.

Each team will receive four coaching staff accreditations to be able to occupy a place on the bench.
If any member of the coaching staff is sanctioned, they must identify themselves to the field officer with their ID or passport.
In case of a member of the coaching staff is not able to identify himself/herself, the first coach will not be able to sit on the bench the following game.
All the team members on the bench must be registered in the match report, whether they are players or coaches. In the event that there is any person not registered, the Competition Committee will take the appropriate sanctioning measures.
7. Lists for the matches
Once the ages of the players have been confirmed, the lists will be validated. The procedure to define the players of each match is as follows:
The lists will be filled in the table of the field where you are going to play FROM THE MOBILE OF THE FIELD OFFICIAL
You will indicate to the field official the numbers of all players available for the match and then the starting players will be marked
No match can start until the referee has the team list.
Delegates who want to check whether any player should be allowed to play can do so before the end of the match by speaking to the Organisation official for that pitch. At the time of the claim, the complainant must make a deposit of 40 Euros for each player they suspect.
If the player proves their legality by submitting any of the required original documents, the pitch official will finalise the claim.
If the player under suspicion does not have the requested document available or does not appear on the lists, both the claimant and the player (together with the team leader) will have to go to the headquarters of the tournament Competition Committee (Information Central) two hours later which will make the final decision.
In any case, if the player under suspicion proves their legality, the claimant will lose their deposit. Otherwise it will be returned in full.
Complaints about refereeing errors will not alter the outcome of the game. The Competition Committee's decision is final and irrevocable. The interpretation of the facts and the rules shall be final.
9. Punctuality
All teams must be on the pitch 15 minutes before the match starts. If this is not the case and there is no good reason, the Competition Committee may take one of the following measures:
The team on the pitch will be awarded a 3-0 win for the match
The offending team will automatically lose the match and be deducted a point
The referee will decide if the match should be played or not
If a team does not appear for a match with no good reason, the offending team will forfeit that game (3-0) and be deducted three points. In both cases, the Competition Committee reserves the right to discipline a team should a third party be affected.
10. Referees
All referees and assistant referees (linesmen) belong to a national college of referees. They shall be appointed for each match by the Valencian Regional Referees Committee. All matches will be conducted by a single referee, except in the 11-a-side semi-finals and finals where there will be assistant referees.
11. Colour conflicts
If the referee decides that a team must change its shirts due to a conflict with the colours of the other team's shirts, the team that changes must be the second one listed on the calendar. The first team must play with their first-choice shirt.
12. Football pitches
All of the pitches are natural grass or top-quality artificial turf.
13. Trophies
After each final, trophies and medals will be awarded to the winner and runner-up of each age category, as well as the best player trophy for each of the finals.
In addition, a trophy will be awarded for best club during the tournament. The best club in the tournament will be decided by the Organisation based on the following parameters:
A match won during the qualifying round: 1 point
First place in their qualifying group: 1 point
A match won during the knockout and final stages: 2 points
If a club participates in the tournament with more than three teams, the points of the top three teams will be counted. In case of two clubs having equal points, the winner will be decided using the same criteria as in "Tournament Format".
All players will be given a diploma certifying their participation in the tournament.
14. Balls
All matches will be played with Organisation footballs. In no case will balls be left to warm up.
11-a-side: Size 5
8-a-side: Size 4
15. Behaviour
Any team which causes the suspension of a match, whether due to collective bad behaviour, players leaving the pitch, agression towards the other team, the referee, assistant referees, team leaders, coaches, etc., the invasion of supporters onto the pitch, or for any other reason which causes the referee to suspend the match will automatically lose the match 3-0, unless, when the suspension occurred, they were losing by a higher score.
Each club will be responsible for the behaviour of their players, supporters and family members, both on and off the field. Bad behaviour can lead to expulsion from the tournament.
The accommodation is shared with people outside the tournament who deserve our respect. Bad behaviour within accommodation can lead to them to rescinding their accommodation and catering services and the tournament organisers will be able to do nothing to resolve this situation.
FIRST ATTENTION
The pitches have first aid medical service to address any incidents that occur.
INJURY INSURANCE
All players are covered by insurance that covers any injuries that may occur during the matches.
This insurance covers injuries, not illnesses. If a player goes to the hospital to be treated for an illness, they will be charged for the service.
A sports accident is understood as sustained by the insured player when carrying out the sports activity covered by the insurance, in which an injury is caused for the sportsman, WITH NO PRIOR ANATOMICAL PATHOLOGY, resulting from a sudden external violent cause that is outside the intention of the insured.
Accidents occurring during a sports competition or activity duly organised or managed by the respective sports bodies are deemed a sports accident, provided that it is accompanied by the respective sports accident certificate.
WHAT IS NOT A SPORTS ACCIDENT
Any that are not the result of the practice of a sport other that the one specifically insured.
Any that occur in an environment or circumstances different from those specifically covered.
Any that take place outside suitable sports facilities.
Myocardial infarctions, stroke or cerebrovascular accident.
Any disease.
Food poisoning, freezing and HEAT STROKE, and other temperature and atmospheric pressure effects.
Those caused by physical training among participants outside a strict sports context (assaults).
CBC Inclusive

KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Economic Development, Tourism and Environmental Affairs (Edtea), Mr Sihle Zikalala has, today in Mandeni, officially launched the department's province-wide "Spend Wisely Campaign" sending a strong warning against reckless spending during this festive period.
MEC Zikalala's powerful message was taken both to members of the community and hundreds of workers in the Isithebe Industrial Park, a facility owned by Edtea's entity, Ithala Development Finance Corporation.
"Today we are launching a province-wide campaign to caution our citizens against reckless spending during the festive season. Reckless spending leads to a heavy burden of financial debt," said Zikalala addressing over a thousand people who gathered at the Emakhempini Sports Ground on the periphery of Isithebe Industrial park.
He said reckless spending adversely affects people's lives, especially the already vulnerable and struggling poor. MEC Zikalala said his department was entrusted and empowered by the Consumer Protection Act to inform the public about their rights as customers and to help avert their exploitation.
"We are mandated to advise you to take sound financial decisions and to encourage you to stand up to protect your rights as consumers. Your protection is key to business sustainability. It is you who keep the wheels of the economy running. Without happy consumers, businesses cannot thrive or grow," he said.
He urged the community and workers to stand against false, reckless, disinformation campaigns that tend to abuse the trust between customers and sellers.
MEC Zikalala said it was an undeniable fact that stokvels are a powerful saving tool which could do much more than simply a festive season pay-out.
"We know that 11.5 million men and women participate in South Africa's 80 000 stokvels, saving no less than a whopping R49 billion a year," he said.
MEC Zikalala also used the opportunity to tour the factories around Isithebe Industrial Park to engage operators in the wake of challenges that saw production being halted recently leading to fears of closure.
He first toured Metso, a foundry firm that employs 220 people. The firm was recently a victim of some fora who demanded jobs and contracts and whose production was stopped at one time when its power substation was reportedly petrol-bombed.
MEC Zikalala assured the operators of his department and government's decisive intervention to bring normalcy and safety.
He also briefly addressed a group of business owners and operators who brought to him a plethora of challenges both operational and regulatory.
"The intention was to ensure and build business confidence among business leaders and operators based in this industrial park," he said.


Moleskine released several new planners for 2010 including the 2010 Panoramic Planner. Those of you who are looking for a planner with a unique layout and the inclusion of a monthly calendar on each weekly spread, this could be the planner you are looking for. It is pocket-sized and has a soft cover making it perfect for your back pocket or purse. This planner is thinner than hard cover versions and has a portable profile that feels substantially lighter than the hard cover planners.
Moleskine's Panoramic Planner is a New Style for 2010.
Open the planner and you'll discover that the planning pages are rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise from what you would expect. This puts the top of the calendar on the left page. At first this seems a little awkward until you write in it. The extra width is more comfortable than a narrower page, and you avoid having to write near the inner margins in the center of the journal!
The Panoramic Format is Rotated 90 Degrees Counter-Clockwise from What You Would Expect. Each Week-to-View Includes a Small Monthly Calendar and a Contacts Section.
The panoramic orientation also includes some extras you won't find in the standard Moleskine planners; a small column sectioned into To-Dos, Contacts and Notes. There is also a small monthly calendar of the current month highlighting the current week in bold. I get requests for this feature all of the time so I am glad that Moleskine finally added a monthly calendar to one of their planners.
One Week of Planning Per 2-Page Spread.
Each 2-page spread displays a week at a time and the planning slots are in a vertical format. The planning periods are broken down into 12, 1-hour slots in military time, 08:00 through 20:00. All of the standard Moleskine planner pages are here, too, including pages for Personal Data, Monthly Planning Calendars for long range planning for 2010 and 2011, International Holidays, a Time Zone Chart, International Dialing Codes, Distances, International Sizes and a Ruler.
All of Moleskine's Standard Planner Pages are Here Including Long Term Planning Pages, Time Zones, International Dialing Codes, etc.
Small but significat changes to Moleskine's traditional planners add up to a nice little Panoramic planner with super planning capabilities. You should give it a tyr if you want a unique Moleskine Weekly Planner with a soft cover and small monthly calendar on each page. The Moleskine Panoramic Planner can be found at www.journalingarts.com.

Tag: The Sopranos
Not Fade Away: Movie Review
Directed by David Chase
Sopranos creator David Chase probably had the green light to make any film he wanted to with his film debut, and Chase made a surprising choice: a coming of age tale about the birth of rock 'n' roll. This seems like an odd choice at first glance until you think back on the Sopranos, which featured heavy usage of classic rock 'n' roll and even cast E-Street guitar legend Steven Van Zandt as Silvio. Van Zandt sits in as executive producer on Not Fade Away, which lends a little credence and authenticity to the rock tale, but the film still lands a little flat for coming from such an artistic giant.

Top Ten Thursday: So You Think You Can Act
Even though Donald Glover is actually an actor turned musician, we at LxL decided to put together a list of the Top Ten Musicians Turned Actors.

As always, feel free to comment with concurrences, dissents, and passionate arguments of why you think your favorite musician turned actor should have made the list. Enjoy.

It's a gentle reminder when my over-active anxiety-ridden fear trigger gets pulled (which can, and does, happen thousands of times per day given the right circumstances!).
Yeah. My will serves me well with the parts of life in which I feel I can create and control. But, when I no longer know what to pray for, the unanswerable things, the lurking bigger things, the mysterious things … well, there's a bigger, more mysterious Will and work in the world that we may never fully understand this side of eternity. That doesn't mean we can't trust God Most High, trust His ways, and surrender. In reality – His ways are far superior – who am I to think that my pea-brain knows enough to worry, for pete's sake?! Worry pre-supposes that I have enough big-picture, long-term-effect knowledge of a deal that is way beyond my brain's circuit board. I'm not saying "don't worry" – there's no stopping that – we are hard-wired to do so and it's a crazy world out there. Anything can and will happen across a lifetime … and, usually does. Worry takes us in to the realm of anxiety which just makes things worse for us and for the people we love. However, surrendering to "Thy will be done", is a vote of confidence … that whatever comes, God will grant the capacity find to find strength in the storm.
Surrender. Thy will be done.

Q: Which region endpoint should AWS Java SDK v2 be using for Route 53? On Windows 10 I'm using the AWS Java SDK v2 (software.amazon.awssdk:route53:2.8.3) and I'm trying to merely connect and list all my Route 53 hosted zones. I have us-west-1 specified in my user configuration (in my .aws/config file) as the default region.
I create a Route53Client using the following:
Route53Client route53Client = Route53Client.builder().build();

Note that I don't indicate a region, because in the online documentation it says:

When you submit requests using the AWS CLI or SDKs, either leave the Region and endpoint unspecified, or specify us-east-1 as the Region.

I then try to list hosted zones using something like this:
Set<HostedZone> hostedZones = client.listHostedZonesPaginator().stream()
  .flatMap(response -> response.hostedZones().stream())
  .collect(Collectors.toSet());

In the logs I see a debug message like this:

[DEBUG] Unable to load region from software.amazon.awssdk.regions.providers.SystemSettingsRegionProvider@...:Unable to load region from system settings. Region must be specified either via environment variable (AWS_REGION) or  system property (aws.region).

Then it throws a java.net.UnknownHostException for route53.us-west-1.amazonaws.com.
Granted I am on a spotty Internet connection right now. Is that the correct endpoint? If it is, the why isn't that endpoint listed at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html ? If it isn't, why is it trying to connect to a us-west1 endpoint, if I'm following the online documentation (as I quoted above), which indicates that a region need not be indicated? Or is the problem simply my Internet connection and spotty DNS lookup at the moment?

A: The AWS SDK development team decided to require Route53 requests to explicitly indicate the Region.AWS_GLOBAL or requests would not work, as someone noted in Issue #456 for the SDK:

To access Route53 you would currently need to specify the AWS_GLOBAL region. This was done to prevent customers from using global services and not realizing that for this service your calls are likely not staying in region and could potentially be spanning the globe.

Unfortunately Amazon didn't bother documenting this in the SDK (that I could find), and didn't provide a helpful error message, instead assuming developers would somehow guess the problem when the SDK tried to access an endpoint that did not exist even though the SDK was being used according to the API and according to the online documentation.
In short the Route53 client must be created like this:
route53Client = Route53Client.builder().region(Region.AWS_GLOBAL).build();

A: Here is the AWS Route 53 V2 Code example that lists hosted zones:
package com.example.route;

//snippet-start:[route.java2.list_zones.import]
import software.amazon.awssdk.regions.Region;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.route53.Route53Client;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.route53.model.HostedZone;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.route53.model.Route53Exception;
import software.amazon.awssdk.services.route53.model.ListHostedZonesResponse;
import java.util.List;
//snippet-end:[route.java2.list_zones.import]

public class ListHostedZones {
    public static void main(String[] args) {

        Region region = Region.AWS_GLOBAL;
        Route53Client route53Client = Route53Client.builder()
                .region(region)
                .build();

        listZones(route53Client);
    }

    //snippet-start:[route.java2.list_zones.main]
    public static void listZones(Route53Client route53Client) {

        try {

            ListHostedZonesResponse zonesResponse = route53Client.listHostedZones();
            List<HostedZone> checklist = zonesResponse.hostedZones();

            for (HostedZone check: checklist) {
                System.out.println("The name is : "+check.name());
            }

        } catch (Route53Exception e) {
            System.err.println(e.getMessage());
            System.exit(1);
        }
    }
    //snippet-end:[route.java2.list_zones.main]
}

Scopolamine Poisoning among Heroin Users
Heroin is mixed ("cut") frequently with other substances primarily to increase its weight for retail sale (e.g., mannitol and starch) and to add pharmacologic effects (e.g., dextromethorphan and lidocaine). During 1995 and 1996, health departments and poison-control centers in New York City (NYC); Newark, New Jersey; Philadelphia; and Baltimore reported at least 325 cases of drug overdoses requiring medical treatment in persons who had used "street drugs" sold as heroin that probably also contained scopolamine, an anticholinergic drug. This report summarizes the clinical and epidemiologic features of these cases, which represent a new type of drug overdose.
On March 16, 1995, eight persons were treated in the emergency department (ED) of a Bronx hospital for acute onset of agitation and hallucinations approximately 1 hour after "snorting" heroin. On physical examination, all these persons had clinical manifestations of anticholinergic toxicity (i.e., tachycardia, mild hypertension, dilated pupils, dry skin and mucous membranes, and diminished or absent bowel sounds); five had urinary retention. All were initially lethargic and became agitated and combative after emergency medical service (EMS) personnel treated them with parenteral naloxone, which is routinely used for suspected heroin overdose to reverse the toxic effects of opioids (e.g., coma and respiratory depression). All patients received diazepam or lorazepam for sedation, and signs and symptoms resolved during the next 12-24 hours.
During March 17-April 5, 1995, a total of 10 persons who reported using heroin presented with similar clinical findings to hospital EDs in the Bronx and Manhattan. Seven patients reported having used heroin with the street names "Point on Point" or "Sting." Specimens of "Sting" heroin obtained from two patients on April 5 and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (GC-MS) by the Bureau of Laboratories, New York City Department of Health (NYCDOH), contained heroin and scopolamine. The GC-MS patterns of the scopolamine suggested it was synthetic rather than derived from a plant source. As a result of this finding, these patients were treated for suspected scopolamine poisoning with physostigmine (an antidote for anticholinergic toxicity). While receiving physostigmine intravenously for 5-10 minutes, their paranoia, hallucinations, and agitation resolved.1
During March 17-April 10, 1995, NYCDOH issued press releases warning of scopolamine-adulterated heroin sold under the street names "Point on Point" and "Sting." During March 16, 1995-May 27, 1996, the New York City Poison Control Center (NYPCC) recorded 121 cases that met a case definition of both historical or clinical evidence of heroin use and clinical manifestations consistent with anticholinergic toxicity. NYPCC continues to receive several reports each week of presumed combined heroin/scopolamine overdoses that respond to physostigmine treatment.
During a 24-hour period on December 28-29, 1995, a Newark hospital ED treated 22 persons who, approximately 30 minutes after using heroin with the street name "Polo," developed clinical manifestations of anticholinergic toxicity. Naloxone treatment increased agitation and hallucinations, and physostigmine treatment resolved the signs of toxicity.
On December 29, the New Jersey Poison Center (NJPC) informed all EDs in the state about the syndrome of severe anticholinergic toxicity associated with the use of "Polo" heroin. Later that day, after GC-MS testing of a sample of heroin obtained from a patient identified both heroin and scopolamine, the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) held an emergency press conference to alert the public to this drug combination.
NJDOH and NJPC identified a total of 61 persons with 1) recent histories of snorting or ingesting heroin with the street name "Polo" and 2) clinical manifestations of anticholinergic toxicity for which treatment had been provided at 13 EDs in the Newark metropolitan area during December 28-30, 1995. During December 31, 1995-June 1, 1996, NJPC was consulted 2-3 times each week about patients with similar conditions.
During February 19-21, 1996, a total of 12 patients who had injected or snorted heroin and had clinical manifestations of anticholinergic toxicity were treated in EDs at four hospitals in northeastern Philadelphia and reported to the Delaware Valley Poison Control Center (DVPCC). DVPCC estimated that in the Philadelphia area, during February 19-21, a total of 35 persons were treated for apparent combined scopolamine/heroin overdose, and during March 15-May 5, six persons were treated.
On May 9, a total of 27 persons presented to one Philadelphia hospital ED between 4:30 p.m. and 11 p.m. because of drug overdoses after taking heroin (mostly by injection). Of these, 16 were admitted to the hospital for observation because of tachycardia, hallucinations, or semi-coma. In addition to these cases, DVPCC was consulted about apparent anticholinergic toxicity among 72 heroin users during May 9-11, and among 12 during May 22-23.
During May 10-12, 1996, a total of 22 persons presented to one hospital ED with clinical manifestations of anticholinergic toxicity. Although these persons reported taking heroin with street names of "Homicide" and "Super Buick," GC-MS testing of a specimen identified scopolamine, quinine, and dextromethorphan but no heroin. Testing of Heroin by the Drug Enforcement Administration
The Drug Enforcement Administration monitors the purity of and adulterants in heroin through "street" purchases of heroin (i.e., the "Domestic Monitor Program" {DMP}) and testing of heroin obtained during criminal justice operations. From June 1979 through February 1996, DMP did not detect scopolamine in specimens sold as heroin. During 1995, DMP made a total of 806 purchases, including 195 from Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania; none contained scopolamine. During 1996, of the 147 DMP purchases, including 46 from Maryland, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, only two (made in March 1996 in Elizabeth and Passaic, New Jersey) contained scopolamine. In addition, four of 23,288 non-DMP specimens believed to be heroin and obtained through criminal justice operations contained scopolamine. The earliest was obtained in October 1995 in Bohemia, New York; two in March 1996 in Philadelphia; and one in March 1996 in NYC.
Scopolamine is pharmacologically similar to atropine and other belladonna drugs; it occurs naturally in plants, such as henbane, and can be manufactured. Scopolamine and other anticholinergic drugs are components of some over-the-counter and prescription medications used to prevent nausea, vomiting, and motion sickness (e.g. scopolamine transdermal patches) or in combination with other medications.
The cases described in this report underscore one of the multiple risks associated with use of illegal drugs.2, 3 Before the reports of these cases in the Northeast, scopolamine contamination of heroin was usually not considered in the evaluation of persons with drug overdose. In the initial clusters of anticholinergic toxicity, some EMS staff and clinicians did not recognize the manifestations suggesting scopolamine poisoning and treated some patients for drug overdose with the opioid antagonist naloxone, which was associated with increased severity of agitation, hallucinations, and other manifestations of anticholinergic toxicity. Following the identification of scopolamine in the street drugs sold as heroin, notices and publicity from poison-control centers, health departments, drug-treatment programs, syringe-exchange programs, and other community agencies were used to rapidly inform clinicians, drug users, and others in the community about the scopolamine contamination of heroin.
The use of multiple drugs and alcohol complicates assessment of the causes of the acute mental status changes in drug users. Many of the cases described in this report probably were associated with use of at least two drugs -- heroin and scopolamine. Overdose of heroin and other opioids usually is characterized by lethargy, respiratory depression, and pinpoint pupils. In comparison, overdose with scopolamine and other anticholinergic medicines is characterized by dilated pupils, flushing, dry skin and mucous membranes, absent bowel sounds, rapid heart rate, and altered mental status.4 Interaction between scopolamine and heroin or other drugs (e.g., cocaine) may obscure the classical effects and differences. Although some of these patients improve dramatically with intravenous physostigmine therapy, such treatment should be administered only by experienced staff and with appropriate patient monitoring because of the potential for serious side effects, including seizures, bronchospasm, and bradycardia. For many patients, treatment may be restricted to sedation and observation, and manifestations may resolve over a period of hours. Naloxone remains the treatment of choice for coma and severe respiratory distress associated with possible drug overdose. Because of the complexities of both the diagnosis and treatment of patients with mental status changes and possible drug overdose, practitioners caring for such patients should consult their local poison-control center.
Surveillance based on data from the system of poison-control centers in the Northeast was critical in recognizing the cause of this new type of drug overdose among heroin users and alerting health departments. The impact of the effects of these drug overdoses was limited further by timely recognition of the combined heroin and anticholinergic toxicity, use of sedation or physostigmine to treat the patients, and prompt investigation and reporting by state and local health departments. The continued occurrence of drug overdoses associated with use of scopolamine-containing heroin indicates the need for clinicians, public health programs, and organizations working with drug users to be aware of this problem; new cases should be reported promptly to the local poison-control center and health department.

May 28 2013 had a ton of potential and the chase target was clear: Salina, Kansas. I was out with Silver Lining Tours, and we sat under blue skies all day waiting for the cap to break. Finally an updraft burst upward just west of the town of Bennington and quickly became a tornadic supercell. We positioned out ahead of the storm to let it come towards us, and it did not take long for a large, cone tornado to form.
The cone tornado became a stovepipe and then a wedge. It experienced multiple downdraft interactions, wrapping in rain and then reemerging from the curtains. We sat in awe watching this absolute monster, which was anchored. It just grew and grew in size as sirens blared from the town behind us, but it was completely anchored in place and so made no progress at all in our direction – or Bennington's. This was a blessing for the town which would have been in the path of the tornado had it progressed forward.
The tornado was on the ground for 45 minutes before it wrapped in rain for the final time, failing to reemerge. It had been almost completely stationary and, in an extremely rare occurrence, actually did a tight loop in place which meant it crossed it's own path at one point. Luckily few structures were impacted and the town of Bennington avoided disaster.

1. As a poet and musician, Alfonso contributed to the poetry, music, notation, and codification of the beautiful Cantigas de Santa Maria ("Canticles of Holy Mary"). No minor achievement, this was one of the largest collections of monophonic solo songs of the Middle Ages. 430 poems, written in the lyrical language of Galician-Portuguese, were notated with music, encompassing elements of secular as well as religious music. The Cantigas included the miracles of Mary, hymns, folklore, and Marian festivities, which helped humanize the Holy Mother and engender a moral code of ethics.
2. As an intellectual, Alfonso established Castilian as the vernacular language of learning, replacing Latin. A shared language contributed to scientific and cultural advances during his reign, where Christian, Jewish, and Islamic scholars cooperated in an atmosphere of religious tolerance.
3. As a scientist, Alfonso encouraged astronomy. He established the Toledo School of Translators to translate the latest works of Islamic astronomy, which led to the creation of the Alphonsine Table of astronomical data. His love of astronomy and discovery were immortalized when a crater on the moon was named for him.
4. As a lawgiver, Alfonso was the author of the Royal Code of laws, Europe's most advanced code of laws at that time, and was the originator of Spanish jurisprudence. For these achievements, he is honored as one of history's 23 Lawgivers who are honored with marble medallions in the U.S. House of Representatives.
5. As a lover of games, he had The Book of Games translated from Arabic into Castilian. He also wrote one of the first Western treatises on the game of Chess.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 price slashed in India: Mi Band 3 could be announced soon
oi-Samden Sherpa
Xiaomi Mi Band 2 packs several improvements over its predecessor Mi Band and comes with a 0.42-inch OLED screen and a heart rate sensor.
By Samden Sherpa

Xiaomi is one such company today that has remained loyal to the idea of a smartband that is truly a fitness tracker. While the company has already released two Mi Band series devices in the past, recent rumors suggest that the Chinese OEM is gearing up to unveil a new Mi Band in the market soon. The new wearable device touted to be Mi Band 3 has already appeared on several leaks and it was even spotted on the Bluetooth certification database. Popular tipster Roland Quandt had shared the link to the website just last week.
While all this has been going on if you hadn't noticed the Xiaomi Mi Band 2 had been out of stock for sometime in India. But the situation has changed now. Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is finally back in stock and with a price cut. The device is now available via Mi.com at a price of Rs. 1,799.
The device was originally priced at Rs. 1,999. So it is basically getting Rs. 200 price cut. If you are interested in purchasing the device you can definitely check it out. Xiaomi Mi band 2 is definitely one of the most affordable and competitively priced smartband in India.
As for the features, Mi Band 2 packs in several improvements over its predecessor Mi Band and comes with a 0.42-inch OLED screen and a heart rate sensor. Mi Band 2 fitness tracker's OLED display shows time, steps taken, heart rate count and more. It comes with a PPG (photo plethysmography) sensor as a heart rate monitor.
The device is backed by a 70mAh battery and the company has claimed that it provides up to 20 days of standby time. Talking about the compatibility, Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is compatible with devices running Android 4.4 and above as well as iOS 7.0 and above.
Interestingly once paired with the smartphone, the smartband sends out alerts in the form of vibration to let users know about incoming calls, alarms, and notifications. The device supports Bluetooth 4.0 LE for pairing with smartphones. Xiaomi Mi Band 2 is also water resistant and is rated with IP67 certification.
The device is quite small and measures 40.3x15.7x10.5mm and weighs 7 grams. The device is currently available in Black color.
In any case, we should see the successor to the Mi Band 2 soon. It will be interesting to see what new features and design the alleged Mi Band 3 will bring. As far as the new certification goes, the Xiaomi device has been listed with a model number XMSH05HM and should support Bluetooth 4.2LE. Wearable manufacturer Huami is expected to manufacture the devices.

Justia Dockets & Filings Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation Dorfman v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. et al Filing 21
Dorfman v. Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. et al
TRANSFER ORDER re: pldg. ( 1 in MDL No. 2498) Transferring 3 action(s) to Judge J. Frederick Motz in the District of Maryland.Signed by Judge John G. Heyburn II, Chairman, PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION, on 12/17/2013. Associated Cases: MDL No. 2498, CAS/3:13-cv-00873, FLS/1:13-cv-21289, ILN/1:13-cv-03780 (dn)
UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL on MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION IN RE: NUTRAMAX COSAMIN MARKETING AND SALES PRACTICES LITIGATION MDL No. 2498 TRANSFER ORDER Before the Panel:* Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407, common defendant Nutramax Laboratories, Inc. (Nutramax) moves to centralize this litigation in the Central District of California, or, in the alternative, the District of Maryland. The litigation consists of the three actions listed on Schedule A, which are pending in the Southern District of California, the Southern District of Florida, and the Northern District of Illinois, respectively. Rite Aid Corporation and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., both of which are defendants in only the Southern District of California action, support the motion. Plaintiffs in all three actions, however, submitted a joint response opposing centralization. Plaintiff in a potential tag-along action, which is pending in the Southern District of New York, also opposes centralization.1 In opposing centralization, plaintiffs argue, inter alia, that there are only a few involved actions; the common factual issues are not especially complex; and plaintiffs' counsel have agreed to cooperate in avoiding duplicative pretrial activity. After careful consideration of the record, however, we are not persuaded by these arguments. Indeed, the record demonstrates that complex scientific issues concerning the effectiveness of the involved Nutramax joint health products (Cosamin DS and/or Cosamin ASU) lie at the heart of this litigation. Plaintiffs allege that the scientific evidence, including various clinical studies, demonstrates that glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate – key ingredients in both Cosamin products – do not provide the joint health benefits advertised by Nutramax. In our view, extensive expert discovery likely will be required, as will one or more Daubert hearings. In addition, the proposed multistate class in the Northern District of Illinois action overlaps with the proposed state classes in the Southern District of Florida and Southern District of New York actions. On the basis of the papers filed and the hearing session held, we find that these actions involve common questions of fact, and that centralization under Section 1407 in the District of Maryland will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of this litigation. All actions share factual issues arising from allegations that Nutramax has made false and misleading advertising claims regarding the two Cosamin products. Centralization will eliminate * 1 Judge Marjorie O. Rendell took no part in the decision of this matter. That action and any other related federal actions are potential tag-along actions. See Panel Rules 1.1(h), 7.1 and 7.2. -2duplicative discovery, prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings (in particular with respect to class certification and discovery issues), and conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel and the judiciary. After weighing all factors, we have selected the District of Maryland as transferee district for this litigation.2 This district provides a geographically central forum for this nationwide litigation, and is convenient and accessible for the parties and witnesses. Nutramax is headquartered in the district, and thus relevant documents and potential witnesses are likely to be found there. Selection of the District of Maryland also enables us to assign this litigation to the transferee judge who will preside over MDL No. 2491, In re: GNC Corp. TriFlex Products Marketing and Sales Practices Litigation (No. II), which we are centralizing via a separate order entered this same date. Similar to this docket, MDL No. 2491 implicates issues concerning the effectiveness of glucosamine hydrochloride and chondroitin sulfate in promoting joint health. Judge J. Frederick Motz, to whom we assign the litigation, is an experienced transferee judge. We are confident he will steer this litigation on a prudent course.3 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407, the actions listed on Schedule A and pending outside the District of Maryland are transferred to the District of Maryland and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable J. Frederick Motz for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION John G. Heyburn II Chairman Paul J. Barbadoro Lewis A. Kaplan Ellen Segal Huvelle Charles R. Breyer Sarah S. Vance 2 Although no constituent action is currently pending in the District of Maryland, that is not an impediment to its selection as the transferee district. See In re: BP p.l.c. Sec. Litig., 734 F. Supp. 2d 1376, 1379 (J.P.M.L. 2010). 3 We express no view on the degree, if any, to which pretrial proceedings in this docket should be coordinated with those in MDL No. 2491. That is a matter for the transferee judge to determine. See In re: Gerova Fin. Group, Ltd., Sec. Litig., 816 F. Supp. 2d 1381, 1382 (J.P.M.L. 2011).

Zillie Falls are spectacular falls located on the Waterfalls Circuit with Millaa Millaa and Ellinjaa Falls. There is a lovely viewing platform at the base of the falls where you can enjoy a view of the cascading water and rapids.
Tully is a small town about 140 kilometres (or about two hours' drive) south of Cairns and has the reputation of being one of the wettest towns in Australia. With all that rain, the nearby Tully River is one of the best places in Australia to go white water rafting.
The Hypipamee crater is referred to as a volcanic pipe. The pipe was opened upward through surface rocks by gas produced from molten rock below and as a result of tremendous pressure, the vent exploded sending volcanic bombs far across the landscape.


You've got enough to worry about with exercise, nutrition & real life. Your relationship and arrangement with your online trainer should work in sync to propel you forward, not be yet another aspect to struggle with in your health and fitness.
Communication! No matter the technology, it still comes down to the basics of communication.
Regardless if you're a fitness veteran or newbie, you'll be contacting your trainer with questions and check ins. It's best to set upfront expectations on response time with your trainer.
At SiS, your trainer is 100% committed to you and your success, however this doesn't mean that she is on call 24/7.
So what is the expected response time for your questions? Your coach will clarify this with you, but generally at SiS 24-48 hours is our standard with weekends typically being taken off.
If your trainer is taking a holiday, they should plan this in advance with you so that your results aren't compromised. This is what we do at SiS. We also communicate any holiday-related delays with you beforehand so that you're not left wondering if the response is slower then normal. You'll be given an emergency back up SiS coach contact if you encounter something urgent that just cannot wait for their return.
2. Don't Fall Into The Internet Blackhole–Check-In!
When we don't hear from a client in a while, and their check-ins are empty, we suspect the worse. We fear you've completely fallen off track & you've turned us off by letting us fall into the internet black hole!!!
Your online trainer should have a tool that let's them keep track of whether you are completing your workouts. At SiS we have a mobile app check-in that takes 2 seconds for clients to check in for workouts.
We want to see our client's calendar all lite-up! While you may have good intentions to just do your workouts and feel you don't "need" to check them in, it prevents your SiS coach from flagging an unusually rough week in your life and then reaching out to ask if everything is ok & support you where we can.
A short note, even just a couple sentences telling your online trainer how the past week or two went is a huge indicator of client success. Why? It allows your trainer to help you navigate through the inevitable roadblocks that come up & not wait until those challenges have pushed you completely off track.
Your online coach can then help you strategize for upcoming vacations or social parties given your goals, or include more of those workouts that make you feel strong and alive! By communicating with us regularly, we can give you feedback and support. This check-in habit also allows you to reflect on how things are going for you before a month goes by and you're left wondering why you didn't see progress as expected.
To ensure you get the most out of your training program, your online coach should ask at various points for form videos, meal logs, weigh-ins, progress pics, Skype assessment calls etc. These are used by your online trainer to help you get the best results. At SiS we want you to get the most out of your experience.
It's totally understandable that it occasionally slips your mind or you need a reminder. However, your SiS online trainer isn't keen to chase you nor will push to get these from you after one or two requests. Why? Well, honestly we've worked with enough clients to realize that our effort is best matched by the client's effort, otherwise it's a waste of our time and talents. As the saying goes "You can't hire someone to do your push-ups for you."
Ask any SiS coach, and they're pumped to pour their greatness into those client that are engaged and committed to their personal goals. No one is perfect, and we never expect our program to be the sole focus for clients - heck, we support and encourage a balanced life. But after a couple of non-responsive attempts, we then match our energy with your energy.
Ask yourself, is your energy and action the level you want matched?
Here's a video tutorial our new online clients get to ensure they maximize their results with working with Sisters In Shape. We've worked with hundreds (thousands?) of clients"online", and continue to strive to give women THE BEST training with a positive and empowering experience.


No matter how easy we create our password, we always tend to forget it So in order to make it easier for the user they should always create a pin. The whole pin number way to enter is damn handy for the use and it helps in terms of both offering security and making it easy for the users to log into the computer more easily. But no matter how catchy the pin is there are always a be chance where the user has forgotten the pin. So in this article we'll just go through some steps by which the user can easily retrieve the forgotten PIN.
As we already know that we use Pin to sign in to stores, app, and service. When the user get the new pin he must need to sign in to all the application and services from the beginning in his Window 10 system Hence the pin is very helpful as it saves the time of the user to enter the password every time he log in various application on window 10 system. When the user witness that he has forgotten the Microsoft pin, he will have enter the Microsoft account password to be in the system otherwise he can never retrieve the forgotten pin. Therefore it always advised not to forget the password or pin because there might be chance losing important file and data which are saved in the various application in the window 10 system.
STEP 1: Click on the start button and a list will appear on the screen select "setting" option from the menu.
STEP 2: A new dialog box will appear on the screen showing the setting program. The user should click on the "user Account "written on the box.
STEP 3: On clicking the Account option a new dialog box will appear on the screen hence click on the sign in option.
Step 6: A New dialog box will appear on the screen where the user has to re enter the Microsoft password and press sign in.
If the password were correct it will move to the next step!
STep 7: Now a new box will pop on to the screen asking the user to create a pin to use in Place of password. The user has to type the pin. He need to Enter at least a minimum 4 digit new PIN number that he want for his account, and click on OK. A pin makes it easier for the user to sign in to various places such as devices, application, and services.
When finished, the user can close Settings if he like.
Hence the user has retrieved the forgotten PIN in the window 10 system. We all know that pin is the easiest type to enter in the users system so the user should create a strong pin by which he can save the system from hacker and unauthorized person. But in order to be on the save Side the user should never share his password or pin with anyone else!

'Stranger Things' gets '80s-inspired video game using outdated tech – Alternative Press
The new season of Stranger Things has spawned all sorts of new products, but the latest comes from Baskin-Robbins and requires you to use 1985 technology.
It is an alternate reality game based on the show's Russian espionage themes requiring players to use pre-internet tech to play the game.
Read More: The Conjuring real-life house is actually haunted, owners say
According to AdWeek, Operation Scoop Snoop became public last week and sponsored not by the Scoops Ahoy ice cream store from the show, but rather the real-life company Baskin-Robbins.
To play the game, you'll need to use TelNet, a pre-internet technology first developed in 1969 that has almost completely gone out of use since 2007.
The secret entrance to play the game is hidden in an '80s-themed ad for the "USS Butterscotch" with a 1-800 phone number showing up at the end.
When you call the number, an automated voice asks if you'd like information on the flavor of the month, the store location or an "important message" from the legal department. Upon selecting the third option, a cheery voice gives out a cryptic message.
"You may have noticed unusual symbols on the USS butterscotch flavor label situated on the glass case in Scoops Ahoy and Baskin-Robbins stores," she says. "It's not part of the covert operation as some have reported. Please disregard it entirely. Thank you, and ahoy!"

David Nagel, senior director of consumer engagement at Baskin-Robbins, said Netflix reached out in early 2018 about a partnership for the new season. While it began as an idea of special ice cream flavors, it eventually led to the new game.
The game also brings in real-world news events to its story such as nuclear testing, happenings with Russian physicists and reported UFO sightings.
"This is taking place as part of the 1985 world," Nagel said. "It's almost like these two worlds are running parallel, and sometimes they intersect and sometimes they don't."
Most of the game operates through phones and fax machines while also developing a chatbot developed by Hexagram that interacts with players while remembering where they are in the story.
New material is still being added every 24 hours with no end in sight until someone cracks the final code.
What do you think of the new Stranger Things game? Let us know in the comments below.

From Bulk to Nano
The Many Sides of Magnetism
STEFANITA, Carmen-Gabriela | Taal: Engels
The inspiration for this book can be traced back many years to two major works that in?uenced the author's outlook on applied physics: FerromagnetismusbyR. Becker,W. D¿ oring (Springer, Berlin 1939), and Ferromagnetism by R. M. Bozorth (IEEE Press, New York 1951). The former work is a collection of lectures held in the 1930s for 'technicians' attending a technical college. The German language in which the work was originally written was extremely convenient for the author of this present book, as it was for a long time the only comfortable technical language in an English speaking environment. Later on, upon encountering the work by Bozorth, it was a relief to see the clarity and eloquence of the subjects presented in English, despite the impressive thickness of the book. Bozorth's work still constitutes a practical review for anyone in a multidisciplinary industry who comes across the various manifestations of magnetism. The popularity of both works is so enduring that they are regarded as highly academic, and yet extremely readable, a reference in their own right, still attracting many readers these days in industry and academia. The ?eld of magnetism progressed immensely in the twentieth century, and shows no signs of slowing down in the present one. It has become so vast that it is quite often viewed only in its parts, rather than as a whole. In today'smyriadofapplications,especiallyonananoscale,andtheirchangeable implications mostly on a macroscale, it often seems that di?erent aspects of reported work on magnetism are scattered and unrelated. ...
