"Exposure to digital marketing enhances young adults' interest in energ" by Li Min Buchanan, Bridget Kelly et al.
Buchanan, L., Kelly, B. & Yeatman, H. (2017). Exposure to digital marketing enhances young adults' interest in energy drinks: An exploratory investigation. PLoS One, 12 (2), e0171226-1-e0171226-16.
Young adults experience faster weight gain and consume more unhealthy food than any other age groups. The impact of online food marketing on "digital native" young adults is unclear. This study examined the effects of online marketing on young adults' consumption behaviours, using energy drinks as a case example. The elaboration likelihood model of persuasion was used as the theoretical basis. A pre-test post-test experimental research design was adopted using mixed-methods. Participants (aged 18-24) were randomly assigned to control or experimental groups (N = 30 each). Experimental group participants' attitudes towards and intended purchase and consumption of energy drinks were examined via surveys and semi-structured interviews after their exposure to two popular energy drink brands' websites and social media sites (exposure time 8 minutes). Exposure to digital marketing contents of energy drinks improved the experimental group participants' attitudes towards and purchase and consumption intention of energy drinks. This study indicates the influential power of unhealthy online marketing on cognitively mature young adults. This study draws public health attentions to young adults, who to date have been less of a focus of researchers but are influenced by online food advertising.


"Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc" casts players in the role of Makoto Naegi, a student of Hope's Peak Academy, who finds himself trapped in a game of mutual killing among his students. Gameplay is similar in style to the "Ace Attorney" series, revolving around investigation and finding contradictions, albeit with an emphasis on faster gameplay. Each chapter of the game features two styles of gameplay; School Life, in which the player explores the academy and progresses through the story, and the Class Trials, where the player must deduce the culprit of a crime.
During School Life, the player can explore the school grounds in first-person perspective, with more areas of the academy becoming available as the game progresses. Whilst in one of the various rooms, players move a crosshair cursor which is used to initiate conversations with characters or examine parts of the environment. Examining certain objects yields Monokuma Medals, which can be used in a capsule machine in the school shop to unlock presents. School Life is divided into two sections; "Daily Life" and "Deadly Life". In the Daily Life sections, players converse with various characters and move the plot along. Certain comments can be 'reacted' to reveal new information. In designated 'Free Time' segments, players can choose to hang out with specific characters and give them presents, which in turn reveals more information about them and unlocks various Skills that can be used in the Class Trials. When a crime scene is discovered, the game shifts to the Deadly Life section, in which the player must search for clues throughout the academy. Evidence and testimonies gathered are stored in the player's e-Handbook, where players can also save their game. When all possible evidence is located, the game moves on to the Class Trial. Prior to a Class Trial, players can assign any Skills they have unlocked, which can assist them during gameplay.
This will be a full playthrough on the PC system with a review at the end.

What is Template Assisted Crystallization (TAC)?
by Jennifer Byrd / updated: December 11, 2022
Water conditioners may use various methods to achieve soft water, with the most popular being template-assisted crystallization, or TAC. Though it has a pretty daunting name, TAC isn't as complicated as it seems.
If you're looking for a simple explanation of this whole-home water conditioning process, you've come to the right place. Read on to learn more about TAC technology – how it works, the advantages and disadvantages of this method of scale prevention, and your possible TAC alternatives.
💠 What is TAC Technology?
💬 How does Template Assisted Crystallization Treat Hard Water?
🤔Does Template Assisted Crystallization Work?
👍 Advantages of Salt-free TAC Water Conditioners
👎 Disadvantages of TAC
🔠 Alternatives to TAC For Water Softening
Back in the day, if you wanted a scale treatment solution that didn't use salt, you'd have to opt for a system that used an electric current to alter the composition of hard water minerals, known as a magnetic water softener. The problem with this water treatment option was that it was very difficult to gauge whether it was actually working.
Enter template-assisted crystallization (TAC for short). Also referred to as nucleation assisted crystallization, this salt-free softening method provides a similar outcome but uses a different method to get there.
It's the newest and most popular softener alternative on the market, and, rather than removing calcium and magnesium minerals from water entirely, TAC units simply convert them into a crystallized form.
To get a little more technical, template assisted crystallization (or nucleation assisted crystallization) units typically consist of a single tank that contains a specially-treated resin bed.
This bed catches calcium and magnesium hardness minerals as water flows through the tank.
Inside the resin are microscopic nucleation sites, where the minerals are crystallized, or given a crystal-like outer coating that leaves them suspended in the water. These crystals are unable to stick to surfaces to form scale.
If you've even done the smallest amount of research into TAC, you'll know that it's been the subject of controversy over the years.
Manufacturers of salt-using softeners point out that with template assisted crystallization, there's no way to actually prove that the water treatment process has even worked, as your water still contains calcium & magnesium and is therefore still technically hard.
However, while a water test won't tell you whether a whole house TAC system has worked, the proof is in the pudding, as they say.
Once you install a TAC salt-free water softener, you'll no longer notice any new scale formation in your pipes, plumbing and fixtures.
Your drinking water will still taste the same, but the hard water minerals suspended in the water will no longer be able to cause limescale issues.
There are many reasons why you may choose to go for a template assisted crystallization water conditioner as an alternative to a standard salt-based water softener. Some of the benefits of these water systems include:
Healthy Minerals Retained
TAC technology simply converts magnesium and calcium into microscopic crystals, rather than removing them entirely from water. These hardness minerals are essential for human health, and can also improve the taste of water, so it's definitely a bonus that TAC retains these particulates while preventing scale formation.
More Affordable Upkeep
While a salt-based water softener requires salt to operate, TAC softener technologies typically only require a special resin bed to operate. As this resin usually lasts for more than 8 years, TAC units require far less maintenance than a salt-based water softener, which will need regular salt top-ups.
Reduces Scale
Presumably, you're looking at water softeners because you want to tackle the common household problem of limescale. A TAC water treatment alternative is capable of reducing more than 90% of scale without slowing down your water flow rate, so it does the job you're likely hoping it can do!
Protects Your Applications
Because a descaler can convert hard water minerals into crystals that can't form scale on surfaces, it'll protect your home's appliances, such as water heaters, dishwashers and washing machines.
Easier Install
While salt-based water softeners require a slightly more invasive installation, TAC units only have a single tank, making them slightly easier to set up. You should be able to set up a TAC softener system yourself without having to pay extra for a plumber.
More Difficult to See That It's Working
Many people like the reassurance of being able to test their water to check that their form of treatment is working. But because a TAC water conditioner just converts magnesium and calcium to crystals rather than removing them from water, there's no good way to test that the system is living up to expectations.
No NSF Certification
Because there's no way to prove the performance of template assisted crystallization technologies, the NSF doesn't currently offer certification for these systems. The NSF is a third-party testing body that essentially helps reassure buyers that a product is tested and proven capable of doing what it's advertised to do. If an NSF certification is important to you, you will need to look at an alternative hard water solution.
May Not Entirely Prevent Scale
Template assisted crystallization treatment offers a high level of performance, reducing more than 90% of scale formation – but it doesn't prevent scale formation entirely. Ion exchange water softeners are likely to give you a slightly better result.
Whether you've determined that template assisted crystallization isn't for you or you're just keen to know your options, some of the related water softening solutions include the following:
Ion Exchange Water Softeners
Ion exchange water softeners are some of the best available for tackling hard water. As the name suggests, these systems use a process called ion exchange to swap out calcium and magnesium for another ion, usually sodium.
The benefits of this conventional anti-hardness solution are obvious: because ion exchange softeners can remove hardness mineral ions entirely, you'll be able to perform testing to get physical proof that the process is working. Ion exchange is the most effective option, too, so your mineral deposits will be completely eliminated from your home's appliances, including water heaters.
Keep in mind, however, that this hard water treatment requires regular salt top-ops, and you'll need to replace the media once every 6-8 years. Because of the slightly lengthier softening method, your water flow may also be affected noticeably by this kind of water softener, especially if your water pressure is on the lower side to begin with. Additionally, while ion exchange devices are relatively affordable, they're not as cheap as some of the options on the market (see below).
Magnetic Descalers
Magnetic descalers are the original hard water treatment alternative to conventional ion exchange water softeners. These devices don't use media to treat water, and most don't even have a tank – instead, they're installed around pipes to treat water as it flows through.
Research into magnetic descalers is still relatively vague, but manufacturers say that these systems can tackle hard water by creating a strong electromagnetic field. This changes the composition of hardness mineral ions, preventing them from being able to form scale.
This type of descaler tends to be the cheapest option, as well as being the cheapest to maintain, as there's no media to replace or salt to top up. It's also the easiest to install, providing you have space around your pipes to set up the magnets. Because it's tankless, it won't affect the flow of your water at all. However, many people are hesitant to purchase an electromagnetic descaler because research so far is lacking.
The only way to check that your water is being effectively treated is to check for mineral deposits on applications like water heaters. If this testing shows that your surfaces are free of any new scale going forward, you can determine that your device is working.

North Port picks up 2.1 million cubic yards of Hurricane Ian debris by final day of pickup
by: Jack Royer
NORTH PORT, Fla. (WFLA) — The City of North Port says they collected over 41 thousand truckloads of storm-related debris in the months since Hurricane Ian, totaling 2.1 million cubic yards worth.
"I think we're coming through it as well as we could with that bad of a storm. So, I think the resiliency is shining through with everybody," said Madison Heid, North Port's Deputy Communications Director.
Families are still recovering from the storm in some of the hardest-hit neighborhoods. Roy and Sasha Greto chose to stay in their home in the Country Club Ridge neighborhood, despite having to spend close to $30,000 out of pocket on repairs while they hope for help from insurance.
"We have walls in our house now, and floors. We have a working toilet. So we can go to the bathroom inside now," Sasha said with a laugh, noting how much progress they have made since early October.
"[We're] honestly better off than most people. I know better off than most people in this neighborhood. We were fortunate that we had family and friends come and help and there's a lot of people that don't have that," said Roy Greto.
Their 10-year-old daughter, Lucy, is also optimistic despite the hardship of weathering the storm's aftermath.
"Seeing our house and the progress has been very joyful," Lucy said.
Hurricane debris pickup ended Monday in North Port, but the city says residents can still reach out to city hall for help with bulk pickup as needed.

EXCLUSIVE: Johnny Depp has been set to star in The Invisible Man for Universal Pictures, part of the studio's new production initiative to reestablish the classic movie monsters that is a cornerstone legacy for the studio. That effort is being led by Alex Kurtzman and Chris Morgan, who'll produce.
finds a way to become invisible. The price is his sanity. The film was directed by James Whale, the immortal who also helmed Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein, and it was produced by Carl Laemmle Jr, whose name, I'm pretty sure, is emblazoned on a building on the Universal lot. I could not get details on who is writing the script, or what the timing is on this picture. Kurtzman and Morgan have been hashing out the monsters universe in a writers room, but you cannot argue with the studio's wisdom in putting those classic franchises on the slab and reanimating them.
This has been a big priority for Donna Langley, who has gotten going on two movies so far. They've managed a feat that Marvel Studios might envy: With Depp, they've now landed two of the biggest global stars in the world, after Tom Cruise was set to star in The Mummy, which Kurtzman will direct for a June 9, 2017, release. The Invisible Man character is an intriguing choice with depth and franchise potential for Depp, who's coming off a lauded performance as Whitey Bulger in Black Mass and next will star in his other major franchises Alice in Wonderland: Through the Looking Glass, coming in May, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
Executive Vice President Jon Mone and Vice President Jay Polidoro will oversee production on behalf of Universal. Depp is represented by UTA and Bloom Hergott.

Q: jqgrid fixed column header and fixed footers I was looking to fix the jqgrid column header and fixed footers. When there are other items along with jqgrid with data I was looking at fixing the header so that the user knows at all the time what he is looking at.
Here is the sample for what I am looking for
Note that here I am looking at browsers scroll bar.
Does jqgrid support this?
Edit
As JQGrid is html table after all, I tried to use jQuery TH Float Plugin.
Now it turns out that JqGrid is made of three tables
One for the header, one for the data and the other for the footer. So it seems that I either have to modify thfloat to accommodate this or come up with something else...

A: This was a tough nut to crack.
I got it working by
First css override the default which is overflow:hidden to
.ui-jqgrid .ui-jqgrid-sdiv{overflow:visible;}
.ui-jqgrid .ui-jqgrid-hdiv{overflow:visible;}

On the javascript JQuery came to my rescue I implemented the following
function screenBottom() {
    return $(window).scrollTop() + $(window).height();
}
$(window).scroll(function () {
        var dataTableTop = dataTable.offset().top;
        var dataTableHeight = dataTableTop + dataTable.outerHeight();
        var windowTop = $(window).scrollTop();
        var windowBottom = screenBottom();
        //Scroll down
        if (windowTop > dataTableTop - headerTable.height()
                && windowTop < (dataTableHeight - headerTable.height())) {
            headerTable.offset({ top: windowTop, left: headerTable.offset().left });
        }
        //For footer
        if (windowBottom > dataTable.offset().top + footerTable.outerHeight()
                && windowBottom < dataTableHeight + footerTable.outerHeight()) {
            footerTable.offset({ top: windowBottom - footerTable.outerHeight(), left: footerTable.offset().left });
        }
        //Re adjust of the movement is too fast
        if (windowTop < (dataTableTop - headerTable.height())
            && dataTableTop < (headerTable.offset().top + headerTable.height())) {
            headerTable.offset({ top: dataTable.offset().top - headerTable.height(), left: headerTable.offset().left });
        }
        if (windowBottom > dataTableHeight + footerTable.outerHeight()) {
            footerTable.offset({ top: dataTableHeight, left: footerTable.offset().left });
        }

    });

And then to check the footer and header while resizing the window
        $(window).resize(function () {
            setInitializeHeadersAndFootersPosition();
        });
function setInitializeHeadersAndFootersPosition() {
            var dataTableTop = dataTable.offset().top;
            var dataTableHeight = dataTableTop + dataTable.outerHeight();
            var windowTop = $(window).scrollTop();
            var windowBottom = screenBottom();
            if (windowBottom > dataTableTop && windowBottom < dataTableHeight) {
                footerTable.offset({ top: windowBottom - footerTable.outerHeight(), left: footerTable.offset().left });
            }
            if (footerTable.offset().top < dataTableHeight && windowBottom > dataTableHeight) {
                footerTable.offset({ top: dataTableHeight, left: footerTable.offset().left });
            }
            if (windowTop > dataTableTop && windowTop < dataTableHeight) {
                headerTable.offset({ top: windowTop, left: headerTable.offset().left }); //Header does not need the offset
            }
        }

A: I thought I'd mention how to populate the missing vars.
//grid = $("#yourGrid").jqGrid( ...

dataTable = $(grid[0].grid.bDiv);
footerTable = $(grid[0].grid.sDiv);
headerTable = $(grid[0].grid.hDiv);
//my header column was behind the grid
headerTable.css('z-index', '1000');
setInitializeHeadersAndFootersPosition();

A: Sarath, what a great solution, helped me a lot.  I've expanded on your work, so that the header will only "bounce" once, when it first gets scrolled off the page / repositioned.  Afterward the position gets switched to fixed, but there all a lot of other elements that need compensation.  Enjoy!
$(window).bind('scroll', function () {
    var _grid = $('#jqGrid');  // jqgrid name
    var dataTable = $(_grid[0].grid.bDiv);
    var headerTable = $(_grid[0].grid.hDiv);
    var dataTableTop = dataTable.offset().top;
    var dataTableHeight = dataTableTop + dataTable.outerHeight();
    var windowTop = $(window).scrollTop();
    var headerTablePosition = headerTable[0].style.position;

    //Scroll down
    if (windowTop > dataTableTop - headerTable.height() && windowTop < (dataTableHeight - headerTable.height()) && headerTablePosition != "fixed")
    {
        var leftOffset = headerTable.offset().left + 'px';  // grab the offset before changing postition
        $(dataTable).css("top", (headerTable.height()+1) + "px");  // +1 to account for the border width of the header
        headerTable[0].style.position = "fixed";
        headerTable[0].style.top = "0px";
        headerTable[0].style.left = leftOffset;
        dataTable[0].style.height = "auto";
        $($(_grid[0].grid.sDiv)).css("top", (headerTable.height() + 1) + "px");  // footer table, +1 to account for the border width of the header
        var gridHeightString = $('#gview_jqGrid').css("height").replace("px", "");
        var newGridHeight = parseInt(gridHeightString) + headerTable.height() + 1;  // +1 to account for the border width of the header
        $("#gview_jqGrid").css("height", newGridHeight + "px"); //outermost grid element
    }
    //Scroll up
    else if (windowTop < (dataTableTop - headerTable.height()) && headerTablePosition == "fixed")
    {
        headerTable[0].style.left = "0px";
        headerTable[0].style.position = "relative";
        $(dataTable).css("top", "0px");
        $($(_grid[0].grid.sDiv)).css("top", "0px");  // footer table
        $("#gview_jqGrid").css("height", "100%");  //outermost grid element
    }
});

From the first time I picked up this method, I was impressed. First, it is spiral-bound, which proved to me that a musician had a hand in all aspects of publishing! Second, the glossy pages, stories and pictures were an added plus. However, these qualities are just the garnish -- the content is a meat and potatoes feast for bass trombonists. Ben van Dijk is a world-class musician who has accomplished what many of us dream of -- a position in an orchestra, teacher at a university, and solo artist. Buy this book and learn how he did it.

Q: See what method is currently being used from a DLL I know that I can open a DLL file with an assembly browser, such as ILSpy, to see the classes and methods that it contains. But if a process is currently using a DLL, is it possible to know what method it is currently using? And any other details, such as the exact line that it is on, and if it threw an exception?
This question isn't language specific, but I'm most interested in doing this in C#. And the DLLs are compiled in the .NET framework.
My goal is to build a logger that shows what part of my code a process is using, and if it threw an exception, which function it came from.

A: The closest I know how to get to this is to check the callstack of a process. It is easy to do this using ProcessExplorer (get it here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx)
Then:

*

*Open Process Explorer, select the process you need more information
about, then right click > Properties...

*Select the 'Threads' tab. This will open up the list of all threads for this process.

*Select the thread you are interested in then click on 'Stack' This will reveal the list of loaded DLLs and the method called

You should get something like this:

Note that the above would work if PE can resolve symbols. This page provides an example on how to enable symbol resolution in Process Explorer : http://windowsexplored.com/2012/01/31/resolve-symbols-in-process-explorer-monitor-without-installing-the-debugging-tools/

A: 1.A simple approach will be to add into Main() function
 AppDomain.CurrentDomain.UnhandledException += CurrentDomain_UnhandledException;

 and the handler will be something like
static void CurrentDomain_UnhandledException(object sender, UnhandledExceptionEventArgs e)
{
   string errorMessage = e.ExceptionObject.ToString();
   Logger.Error(e.ExceptionObject.ToString());
   Current.Shutdown(1);
}

2.you can use ProcDump with the flag "-e" to catch unhandled exceptions.
for example myApp.exe:
Procdump -ma -e -w myApp.exe C:\temp\fe.dmp

and then you will need to load some stuff for winDB
1. load the dump file into WinDBG
2. .loadby sos clr in winDBG
3. !printexception
0:005> !printexception
Exception object: 0000000002becc68

Q: Selection of the best concurrency approach I have two separate services.
I get list of strings from 1st service - about 700 values. And then I filter this list and get 100 strings. Then I compose small queries containing 10 of those strings and send they synchronously to the 2nd service. And when I get response from the 2nd service (currently it all is done synchronously - I wait while 2nd service returns response) as another list of strings and add these values into final list.
I wanted to enhance concurrency of this work. I want to send small queries to the 1st server concurrently, get responses on these queries, filter them, and as I get 10 needed filtered values, I compose and send query to the 2nd service (also concurrently). And after 2nd service returns response, I add this response (list of strings) to a final list (as far as I understand, I should use something like synchronized block).
Is there any good ways to implement this logic without low level and ugly Threads? I've almost never worked with concurrency in Java so I don't know this part of the language very good.
Thanks in advance.

A: There is no framework more suitable for this task than good old threads. The problem with threads is that they are taught with synchronized keyword from the start, while in most cases, it can be avoided. Use BlockingQueues whenever possible, and your program would be clean and understandable.
The structure of your program can be as follows:
T1->Q1->TP1->Q2->T2->Q3->TP2->Q4->T3

Thread T1 (it can be the main thread) splits input list into small queries and puts them into queue Q1.
Thread Pool TP1 is just a number of threads, each of which takes queries from Q1, access the service 1 and puts the result into queue Q2.
Thread T2 takes the responses from Q2, filters them, packs in batches of 10 and puts into Q3.
Thread Pool TP2 sends queries from Q3 to the 2nd service and puts results into Q4.
Thread T3 forms the final list.

Cristiano Ronaldo Set To Become The First Billionaire In Football
Juventus talisman Cristiano Ronaldo will become the third sportsman in the world after golf star Tiger Woods and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr to have earned $1bn during his career.
The Old Lady announced a massive pay cut to help them during a period with loss of revenue, but it won't affect the Portuguese superstar too much.
Thanks to the brand that is CR7, he exclusively earned about €100m only in 2019, but in his career, he is expected to reach the $1bn club in 2019-20, even with the three-month pay cut at the Bianconeri.
Only Barcelona star Lionel Messi earned more than Ronaldo last season, but the fact that the 35-year-old has almost played 18 seasons of professional football helps him become the first-ever footballer to reach $1bn during his career.
Business Insider also reports that Roger Federer will become the first billionaire in tennis this year.
Only golf and boxing champions have reached numbers that level of the active players, whilst basketball legend Michael Jordan is the third member currently in the club.

Home/World/COVID: China suspends social accounts of critics
COVID: China suspends social accounts of critics
BEIJING –
China has suspended or closed the social media accounts of more than 1,000 people critical of government policies over the COVID-19 outbreak, as the country moves to lift strict anti-virus restrictions.
Popular social media platform Sina Weibo says it has resolved 12,854 violations including attacks on professionals, academics and medical staff, and issued temporary or permanent bans on 1,120 account.
The ruling Communist Party relies heavily on the medical community to justify its tough lockdown measures, quarantine measures and mass testing, almost all of which they abruptly abandoned last month. , leading to an increase in new infections that drained medical resources. The party does not allow direct criticism and imposes strict limits on freedom of expression.
The company "will continue to strengthen the investigation and clean up of all kinds of illegal content, and create a harmonious and friendly community environment for the majority of users," Sina Weibo said in a statement. announced on Thursday.
Criticism has largely focused on the harsh enforcement of the regulations, including unlimited travel restrictions that keep people confined to their homes for weeks, sometimes locked inside without any help. enough food or medical care. Anger has also been vented at the demand that anyone potentially testing positive or having been in contact with such a person be detained for observation in a makeshift hospital, where it is often assumed that the condition overcrowded, poor food and poor hygiene.
The social and economic costs have ultimately led to rare street protests in Beijing and other cities, which could influence the party's decision to quickly ease strict measures strictest.
As part of the latest changes, China will also no longer criminally prosecute people accused of violating border quarantine regulations, according to a notice issued by five government agencies. on Saturday.
Individuals currently in custody will be released and confiscated property returned, the notice said.
The adjustments "were made after comprehensively considering the harmful effects of the acts on society, and are aimed at adapting to the new circumstances of epidemic prevention and control," the official website of China Daily said. Daily said in a report on the announcement.
China is currently facing an increase in infections and hospitalizations in major cities, while bracing for the spread to less developed regions as the peak of Tet tourism begins. Lunar New Year, which is expected to take place in the coming days. While international flights remain down, authorities say they expect domestic rail and air journeys to double from the same period last year, bringing the overall figure close to the same period last year. holiday in 2019 before the pandemic hit.
The Department of Transport on Friday urged travelers to reduce trips and gatherings, especially if they involve the elderly, pregnant women, young children and those with underlying medical conditions.
Vice Minister Xu Chengguang told reporters at a press conference that people using public transport are also encouraged to wear masks and pay special attention to health and personal hygiene.
However, China is working on a plan to end the mandatory quarantine for people arriving from abroad starting Sunday.
Beijing also plans to drop the requirement that students at schools in the city have to test negative for COVID-19 to enter school when classes resume on February 13 after the holiday. The city's education department said in a statement Friday that although schools will be allowed to move classes online in the event of a new outbreak, they must return to face-to-face instruction as soon as possible. good.
However, the cessation of mass testing, the very limited amount of basic data such as the number of deaths, infections and severe cases, and the potential for new variants to emerge have prompted governments elsewhere. introduced virus testing requirements for travelers from China.
The World Health Organization also expressed concern about the lack of data from China, while the US is requesting negative test results for travelers from China within 48 hours of departure.
Chinese health authorities publish daily numbers of new cases, severe cases and deaths, but these numbers only include officially confirmed cases and use a very narrow definition of related deaths. to COVID.
Authorities say that since the government ended mandatory testing and allowed people with mild symptoms to self-test and treat at home, it can no longer provide a complete picture of the situation. status of the latest outbreak.
On Saturday, the National Health Commission reported 10,681 new cases in the country, bringing the country's total confirmed cases to 482,057. Three new deaths were also reported in the previous 24 hours, bringing the total number of deaths to 5,267.
These numbers are only a fraction of those published by the United States, which has brought the death toll to more than 1 million out of 101 million infections.
But they are also much smaller than estimates published by some local governments. Zhejiang, a province on the east coast, on Tuesday said it had about 1 million new cases a day.
China says the test requirements imposed by foreign governments – most recently Germany and Sweden – are not based on science and have threatened unspecified countermeasures. Its spokesman said the situation was under control and denied accusations of lack of preparation for reopening.
Despite such assertions, the Health Commission on Saturday introduced regulations to strengthen surveillance of virus mutations, including testing municipal wastewater. The lengthy rules call for increased data collection from hospitals and local government health departments, and increased testing for "pneumonia of unknown cause".
If a variant appears during an outbreak, it will be found through genetic sequencing of the virus.
Since the pandemic began, China has shared 4,144 sequences with GISAID, a global platform for coronavirus data. That's just 0.04% of reported cases – a rate 100 times lower than that of the United States and nearly four times that of neighboring Mongolia.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong also plans to reopen some border crossings with mainland China on Sunday and allow tens of thousands of people to pass through each day without being quarantined.
The semi-autonomous southern Chinese city has been hit hard by the virus, and land and sea border checkpoints with the mainland have largely been closed for nearly three years. Despite the risks, the reopening is expected to provide a much-needed boost to Hong Kong's tourism and retail sectors.
This story has been corrected to show that China's latest figures for cases and deaths were released on Saturday instead of Sunday.

Curtis lauds "beast" Bony
Swans legend Alan Curtis feels Wilfried Bony is now reaching his full potential after proving his class with a last-gasp winner in the FA Cup triumph at Manchester United.
Bony headed home in the 90th minute to earn the Swans a first ever win at Old Trafford, which means they will face either Birmingham City, Crawley Town or Bristol Rovers in the fourth round.
It was the striker's third goal in two games, with the Ivory Coast international putting in a man-of-match performance with a brace in the 3-2 defeat to Manchester City the previous week.
The Ivory Coast international became the club's record signing last summer when he arrived following a £12million transfer from Dutch side Vitesse Arnhem.
And Curt feels Bony's return of 13 goals in 27 appearances - along with his recent displays - show just why the Swans splashed the cash on him.
"It took him a while to settle in. He scored a lot of goals last season, but he missed out on pre-season with us so he was playing catch up," said Curt, who is first team coach at the Liberty.
"The fact he came for £12million meant people expected a lot from him.
"But he was just short of fitness and throughout the season we have worked on that.
"His strength and power are quite frightening - he is a real beast of a man.
"He already has 13 goals this season and his latest one was a cracking goal."
Curt also hailed the overall team performance, while Wayne Routledge won praise too.
The winger latched onto Alejandro Pozuelo's through ball to chip Anders Lindegaard to open the scoring, while he laid on the cross for Bony to head home the winner.
Curt added: "Wilfried will obviously take the headlines for his winning goal, but Wayne's performance was fantastic.
"He is a confidence player and he has all the ability in the world. He can beat people, has terrific strength and can hold people off. He certainly delivered yesterday.
"It was a great team performance. We made quite a few changes but people certainly stepped up to the mark.
"It was the first time we have won at Old Trafford - it's a special place.
"A win like yesterday gives us tremendous confidence."

Lake Wynonah
Written by Thomas G. Schmidt
Peter Kaufman pulled over to the side of the rural road and put the Toyota in park. Opening the door, he got out and stretched his tired muscles. The 253 mile long trip from Pittsburgh to Auburn, PA had taken just over 4 hours of time and Peter needed the break. Looking up, he could see the shore of Lake Wynonah, the 1.7 mile long water basin which dominated his home town.
He fondly remembered playing along those shores, just a short distance from his parent's house. He was almost home.
The Toyota picked up speed as he entered the small town of Auburn. Needing gas, he pulled into the Auburn Food Mart. He had worked at the store as a youth and knew the layout of store like the back of his hand.
"PK !! You're back!" A slender white haired man shouted to Kaufman as he entered the store to pay for his fill up. "It's good to see you again."
"Hi Mr. Watkins. Great to see you as well."
The old man scowled at Peter as he shook his head. "Peter, you need to call me Matt now. You are no longer 16."
"Sorry, Mr. Watkins but my mother would never allow that. She would view it as disrespectful."
The old man grinned and raised an eye brow as he replied. "You are so much like her."
"So Mr. Watkins, what's new around town?"
The old man looked around thoughtfully before replying. "No much. Well, except for all the ruckus that old man McGregor is stirring up again about there being some sort of monster near the lake. He is getting the kids in town all riled up and causing more concern than is needed. You know how he is."
Kaufman nodded as he handed over $35 to pay for his gas. "Still claiming that some sort of monster lives in the lake? Sort of a local 'Champie' or 'Loch Ness Monster'? I thought those stories were put to rest when the local sheriff found the monster to only be that old inflatable alligator toy that drifted off into the lake from the Duffy home a few years back."
Watkins laughed. "Yeah, I remember that. That inflatable was about 6 feet long. I think the Duffy's got it at SeaWorld."
As Matt Watkins gave Peter his change, he pointed up the road. "If you are interested in hearing the latest from that kook McGregor, then just show up at tonight's town hall meeting. He has asked to talk. The meeting starts around 7 PM."
"Don't think I will have the time but I will keep it in mind Mr. Watkins. Thanks for the local update."
Kaufman waved as he left the store and hurried to his car. He was anxious to get home to see his parents.
The Toyota pulled into the driveway of the old Victorian on Locust Lane at just after 4. Peter got out and jogged to the front door. He waited anxiously after ringing the doorbell several times.
An old woman with gray hair smiled at Kaufman as she opened the door. "Peter, its great to see you". She gave the young man a hug and asked him to come in.
"Hi Mom. Great to see you too. Dad home?"
Mary Kaufman's face turned glum as she looked into her son's eyes. "Your father never came home last night. He went night fishing with your Uncle Steve but neither has been heard from since 6 PM last night. I am hoping that he is drunk in some cabin along the lake and is just sleeping it off."
Peter nodded. His father Jim Kaufman had a history of drunkenness and some past events of sleeping off a bender with his brother Steve. But not hearing from him so late in the day was a little unusual.
"There is a town hall meeting tonight at 7. I go down there and see if anyone knows where Dad might be."
Mary Kaufman nodded. "That idiot Silas McGregor asked for the meeting to discuss his concerns about a monster living in the east woods next to Lake Wynonah. Claims that this alleged monster is responsible for some deaths of dogs and livestock in the area over the past month. It might be hard to talk to people once he starts his story telling."
"I'll go down early Mom. I understand."
The town hall was packed to capacity when Peter got there. He asked several people about his father but no one seemed to know anything about where he was. After about 5 minutes of questioning, the meeting kicked off.
Mayor Greenwood discussed briefly the recent rash of unexplained animal deaths in the East Wood area around Lake Wynonah. 5 carcasses had been found over the past 2 weeks.
As he continued his presentation, a gray haired man with a scraggly beard stood up and interrupted. "It's the Wynonah monster come back Tim. Plain as day. We have to do something this time."
Mayor Greenwood took off his eyeglasses and peered back at the man. "Now Silas McGregor, don't you start any rumors again. This is a public meeting and we want to discuss facts."
The old man glared back. "I ain't telling any stories. It's just you and this town who don't want to accept the truth."
Tim Greenwood sighed as he put this glasses back on. "Silas, we have no proof of a monster."
Silas McGregor panned the audience as he prepared to speak one last time. "Ain't here to argue with anyone. Just telling you that I am going in the East Woods tonight and get the monster. Anyone interested in coming along is welcomed. Someone has to take action before things get worse around here."
Peter Kaufman followed McGregor out of the town hall and approached the man in the parking lot. "Mr. McGregor, I am Peter Kaufman. I am back in town to visit my parents but my father is currently missing. Might you know anything about his disappearance?"
McGregor paused for a second while looking at Kaufman. "I remember you. You're the young boy who tried in 1998 to discredit my monster warnings by saying they were just an inflatable alligator in the lake."
"Please Mr. McGregor. My father is missing. Can you help me locate him?"
Silas McGregor looked away for a second before replying to Kaufman. "Well, Jim Kaufman likes to fish, often just off the East Woods. So if he was fishing lately and he is missing, then its possible the monster might have him."
Peter Kaufman felt his options were limited. Best to team up with this man for the time being. At least until he had better leads on his father's whereabouts. "I'll come with you Mr. McGregor."
The East Woods were pitch dark by the time McGregor and Kaufman set out on their quest. The lanterns supplied by Silas McGregor helped to light the way but only so far. The men tripped over tree roots and other obstructions as they navigated their way along the shoreline of the lake.
"Where were the animal carcasses found?" Kaufman asked as he walked past the latest tree root obstructing the ground.
"About 50 yards ahead," replied McGregor as he pointed light back into the woods. "We have to be careful now. This is the general area that I think the monster lives in."
Suddenly, a sound came from behind the men. It was a shrill sound, high pitched and terrifying. Kaufman turned around to see what it was.
"The monster!" cried McGregor as he rushed past Kaufman and into the wood, a shotgun in hand.
"Wait" cried Kaufman as he tried to pursue the old man. But following McGregor was impossible. The old man was quicker than one would think and he had a significant lead in the chase. Kaufman finally gave up and decided to just wait for the old man to come back.
But he never came back. The shrill shrieks originally heard by Kaufman were quickly replaced by agonizing cries of pain which Kaufman knew were from the old man. Then the silence was followed by the uncomfortable sound of tearing flesh. Kaufman immediately darted toward the Lake Wynonah peer and hopefully to safety. Only time would tell if his split second decision to head for the peer was the right move.
Dawn brought the town people to the East Woods, with Peter Kaufman in the lead. They found the old man's body, mangled and bloodied with broken arms and a partially torn off leg. But no existence of a monster was every confirmed.
Peter Kaufman stayed in town another 2 weeks, hoping to find his missing father and uncle. But no evidence of Jim or Steve Kaufman was ever found. Some in town believed that the pair had drowned and were now at the bottom of Lake Wynonah. But Peter Kaufman felt differently.
People still talk about the Lake Wynonah monster to this day but for the most part, the town has moved on from the events of August 2015. The big question is whether the monster has moved on.

As with all our linen products this piece has gone through all the stages necessary to dye the fabric sustainably, we start with preparing the fabric for dyeing by removing any excess oils, wax or residue from the fibers. We then prepare the dye bath, in this case the colour was achieved by dyeing the linen with Cutch, a dye extracted from the heartwood of the Acacia Catechu tree. A small thorny tree native to South Asia, grown in Indonesia, East Africa and tropical America. Once we are satisfied with the colour we wash/dry the fabric & sew the labels on by hand.

Pretty much a sideways week with the index opening and closing at 2801. The interesting thing to me is that resistance in the 2800 region was broken when a high of 2816 was reached at one point. It's been a long 5-month long process of price consolidation and it looks like prices above 2800 are easily within reach now. I went into the week with a bullish bias, which I continue to have. Despite rate hikes and trade wars rhetoric the market keeps looking solid. But summer months are low activity months and they tend to be slow too. The index is 1.8% higher than its 50-day average and all three oscillators leave plenty of room both ways.
Unlike the SPX, the Russell didn't break resistance. It has been stronger than SPX almost all year, so this recent fact is interesting. Many people say that small caps lead the action, and that if they look weaker it is a sign that the market will roll over. I do not pay attention to those claims and have seen the contrary fact materialize many times. To me it is just interesting to see RUT not breaking resistance this week. It continues to be pretty close, and unlike SPX, this is all-time high territory for RUT. A break up there may lead to a nice rally.

Central America: EIB launches new renewable energy lending initiative
The European Investment Bank (EIB), Europe's long-term lending institution, has agreed to provide USD 230 million backing to support investment in hydropower, wind, geothermal and photovoltaic renewable energy schemes across Central America. The joint programme with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration will enable more than USD 500 million of investment in projects in six central American countries, Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Panama.
"Considerable investment is needed to harness the potential of renewable energy and more efficient energy use to reduce carbon emissions and provide energy essential for economic growth. The European Investment Bank is committed to supporting long-term investment in sustainable energy around the world and enabling low-carbon energy investment in Central America. We have a strong track record of partnership with the Central American Bank for Economic Integration and look forward to continuing this cooperation to benefit investment in the region", said European Investment Bank Vice President responsible for lending in Latin America Magdalena Álvarez Arza.
"As the principal source of multilateral funding in the region, and as the financial arm of the central american integration, we are most pleased with the expansion of our cooperation with EIB in the framework of our shared goal of promoting renewable energy and energy efficiency investments as drivers of sustainable and balanced growth in our beneficiary member countries", said the Central American Bank for Economic Integration Executive President Dr. Nick Rischbieth.
The large-scale initiative will help reduce regional dependence on fossil fuel imports and diminish carbon emissions from energy production. The new lending scheme will allow support for public and private sector investment in both renewable energy and energy efficiency projects. Eligible projects must comply with relevant environmental and social standards.
The new programme follows a similar initiative launched in 2011 between the European Investment Bank and the Central American Bank for Economic Integration. This successful scheme is supporting hydropower investment in Costa Rica.
Since the start of lending in Latin America the European Investment Bank has provided more than EUR 5.7 billion for long-term investment projects, including EUR 1.9 billion in the energy sector.

EIB to reinforce support for renewable and energy efficiency investment across Europe
The European Investment Bank has adopted new guidelines to reinforce support for investment in renewable energy, energy efficiency and energy grids. Over the last 10 months the EU Bank has undertaken a comprehensive review to ensure that its energy lending criteria reflect EU energy and climate policy, as well as current investment trends. The new proposals were discussed by the Bank's Board on Tuesday 23rd July, who approved them with additional clarifications on proposed exemptions to the Emissions Performance Standard.
'EIB will finance geothermal power production in Costa Rica' says President Hoyer visiting La Reventazon hydro scheme
President Hoyer saw the impact of EIB support for renewable energy in Central America at first hand during a visit to the Reventazon hydropower project in Costa Rica. The 310 MW power plant and dam is two-thirds complete and will make a significant contribution to helping Costa Rica to become carbon neutral by 2021. The EIB has worked closely with national energy company ICE since 1993 and President Hoyer used his visit to formally agree a new USD 70m loan for expansion of the Las Pailas geothermal plant.
EIB reinforces financial support for cleaner energy
The European Investment Bank (EIB), the Bank promoting European Union objectives, is reinforcing its support for cleaner energy with a landmark carbon fund and nearly EUR 450 million in fresh finance to improve energy efficiency, boost renewable energy sources and minimise greenhouse gases across Europe.

Primitive Race: Soul Pretender
Primitive Race is a supergroup with a rotating roster whose latest installment is comprised by the late Chuck Mosley (Faith No More, Bad Brains), alongside Dale Crover (Melvins, Nirvana, Hank Williams III), Mark Gemini Thwaite (The Mission, Tricky, Peter Murphy), Chris Kniker (Producer of Lords of Acid, Prong, RevCo) and Erie Loch (writer/remixer of Ministry, Prong, KMFDM, Lords of Acid). The namedropping doesn't stop here, as the band's alumni include Graham Crabb (Pop Will Eat Itself), Tommy Victor (Prong, Danzig, Ministry), Raymond Watts (PIG), Dave Ogilvie (Skinny Puppy), Kourtney Klein (Nitzer Ebb), Andi Sex Gang (Sex Gang Children) and more ... !
It is a mighty impressive list which consequently leads to mighty impressive sounds, and a sophomore album equivalent to the quality and importance of the incredible acts it is associated with. Soul Pretender is dedicated to the memory of Chuck Mosley who passed away on November 9th, 2017. The album was released only a few days before the great man's passing.
Without completely abandoning the industrial character of their eponymous 2015, Primitive Race showed a complete change of mood and pace on their sophomore full length, going for an all around alternative heavy rock sound with more intense inclinations toward punk and noise rock. Mosley's contribution factors in amply to the album's eminence, still, it is evident throughout its ten tracks that this is an experienced and crafty bunch of musicians which knows how to make excellent use of its influences and skills.
Cranial Matter feels like the unequivocal centerpiece and brightest highlight on the album, yet, each additional listen will give you more to hang on to, like the punchy, Take It All, the dynamic opening track, Row House, or the musing closer, Dancing on the Sun. Soul Pretender has been out there for a few months now, but the word about it still needs to be spread, not only because it features the last new material we'll ever going to hear from Chuck Mosley, but also due to the entire project's unfathomable level of talent and creativity.
Hoping that the project's next incarnation will happen soon, there is already enough magic in their second full length to hold dear.

Foamex out of Chap. 11
Foamex International Inc. emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Feb. 12, after the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del., approved its reorganization plan.
Under the plan, companies with allowed claims against Foamex will be paid in full, according to the company. Foamex, which produces flexible polyurethane foam products, entered bankruptcy protection in September 2005.
Linwood-based Foamex also emerges with a new president in place. Gregory J. Christian, who joined the company in 1996, was promoted to the top post.
Christian had been serving as executive vice president, chief restructuring officer, chief administrative officer and general counsel.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Raymond Mabus said Foamex now is a stronger, leaner company with the financial flexibility needed to compete.

The Akkainar and Zhartas petroglyphs are located in the Akkainar River valley in Zhambyl district, Almaty Region, Kazakhstan.

History
Petroglyphs in the lower reaches of the Akkainar river valley were identified in 2001 by B. J. Abubekerov and R. Sala. Later, they were studied by A. E. Rogozhinsky, A. N. Maryashev, and L. Hermann.

Description
Petroglyphs from different eras and burial grounds have been found along the mountain valley of the Akkainar River and its tributaries, as well as in the adjacent Zhartas area to the west. Together, they form a complex of archaeological monuments. More than 40 monuments (settlements, burial grounds, and clusters of petroglyphs) have been studied and registered, including about 30 rock images of tamga of medieval nomads and Kazakhs and 10 epigraphic texts written in Oirat, Tibetan script (from the first half of the eighteenth century) and in Chagatai (from the nineteenth to early twentieth century).

A significant part of the territory of the complex is on a military training ground with restricted access. Monuments along the lower reaches of the Akkainar River are located near the highway between Matybulak and Tambaly-tas and are publicly accessible. These monuments near the highway include three rock outcrops on the left bank of the Akkainar River and a Bronze Age burial ground on a terrace on the opposite bank.

Petroglyphs include a small series of drawings from the Bronze Age and early Iron Age, as well as five rock prayer inscriptions made in Tibetan and Oirat script from the late seventeenth to mid-eighteenth century. Near one of the Kazakh winter camps there are four similar signs depicting tamga of the Dulat tribe of the Elder Zhuz. Among the objects available for inspection, a small sanctuary near a spring flowing from the South into the Akkainar River is of interest.

On the vertical, south-facing sides of three rocks beside a small river, two anthropomorphic figures from the Bronze Age are carved, and between them are two lines of inscription. The top line contains the Tibetan prayer formula "Om-mA-Ni pad – me hum", the second line contains the same in Oirat script. Both lines were from the same time, probably not earlier than the second half of the seventeenth to the first half of the eighteenth century. To the left of the inscriptions are two similar anthropomorphic images with heights of 18 and 20 cm. A crescent-shaped halo is shown above the head of each character, the figure on the right is updated, and the left is an incomplete image. The patina of both engravings is darker than the patina of the inscriptions, which indicates greater antiquity of the drawings. To the right of the inscriptions, there are two more similar anthropomorphic characters, one of which is an incomplete image, and the second has a restoration of the same color as the character on the first plane. The heights of the figures are 23 and 29 cm, respectively. On the next rock to the east, there are two more compositions of Bronze Age petroglyphs (hunting scenes, bull figures) and two Tibetan prayer inscriptions that are related to the Buddhist sanctuary of the Oirats, who adapted images of the "sun heads" of the bronze age to the Lamaists. Fifty meters to the west on a separate rock ledge there are medieval tamga and a large portrait of Lenin with the inscription "100 zhyl". The third rock to the east is notable for images of four tamga of Kazakhs of the Dulat tribe of the Elder Zhuz, whose winter quarters in this area were the border nomads of the Botpaev (Anrakhay) parish at the end of the nineteenth century. The bronze age burial ground opposite the parking lot consists of stone fences with boxes in the center and low mounds; excavations of the monument indicate it belongs to the Begazy-Dandybai culture.

Location
The Akkainar River valley and the small Zhartas Mountains are located at the southern end of the Chu-ili watershed. The complexity of accessible monuments is located 10 km northeast of the village of Matybulak, 2 km to the West of Hanbalites (Gorny village) and north of the Otar-Gorny highway in the Zhambyl district of Almaty region.

Preservation
The monuments are under state protection but are not included in the state list of historical and cultural monuments. There is no physical protection of the monuments in place. Along the rocks on the left bank of the Akkainar River runs a cattle track.

City leaders unveiled an ambitious long-term plan for the Inner Harbor Wednesday designed to restore pizazz to a vital area that's beginning to show its age.
The "Inner Harbor 2.0" plan calls for constructing a pedestrian bridge to connect Harbor East with Federal Hill, turning Rash Field into a grassy park and squaring Light Street to link McKeldin Plaza to the harbor amphitheater. Other elements include a kayak launch, bike share program and urban beach, featuring a floating swimming pool.
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake said the plan would create a "greener and softer" Inner Harbor that, like the original development, worked as well for tourists as for local residents.
"Maybe it was for tourism but as a young person, I thought it was for me," she said about the original development. "With Inner Harbor 2.0, we're getting back to that feeling."
The Inner Harbor, some of which turns 40 this year, needs upgrades to its crumbling brick promenades, deteriorating bulkheads and unreliable light fixtures, said Laurie Schwartz, the president of the Waterfront Partnership of Baltimore, which funded the plan along with the Greater Baltimore Committee. It also needs updates to remain a draw for local residents and the millions of people who visit the Inner Harbor each year, she said.
"It's past due time for us to take the next big look," said city planning director Thomas Stosur.
In 2012, about 14 million tourists came to the Inner Harbor, according to an analysis for Waterfront Partnership by the New York-based real estate and economic advisory services firm HR&A. The study found that the activity of visitors and 3,000 workers at Inner Harbor businesses helped generate $2.3 billion in economic activity for the region.
"The widespread perception and the long-held understanding that the Inner Harbor is central to Baltimore and the state of Maryland's economy is in fact true," HR&A principal Stockton Williams said. "As the magnet and primary attraction for so many people who come to visit Baltimore from out of town, it's critical not only that it remain … a well-maintained destination, but that it evolve and that it continue to offer new opportunities for out-of-town visitors."
The plan, which could take as many as 30 years or more to implement, does not carry a price tag. The designers acknowledged that their proposals would not be inexpensive.
Since 2003, the Greater Baltimore Committee has urged the city to focus attention on the Inner Harbor. Assorted problems, including overflowing trash cans and overgrown grass, detracted from the space, the group said.
Ideas in Wednesday's plan echo concepts unveiled in 2011, when the GBC issued a series of design recommendations at the same time that the city invited proposals for new harbor attractions.
Previous efforts were hampered by poor timing, said Schwartz, adding this is the first time the ideas have been tied together into a comprehensive vision.
"Each of them by themselves were interesting, but didn't add up to a comprehensive and common vision, so that's one of the pieces that we really wanted to achieve … to take the best of all these plans, knit them together and have a common vision between stakeholders, private entities and city government so we could all work together toward the same goals," she said.
Projects included in the new master plan range from "low-hanging fruit" that could be in place as early as next September, such as installing matching lights, benches and trash cans, to more difficult, long-range proposals.
For example, the designers recommend rerouting Light Street toward Pratt to create a "Grand Entrance" to the harbor. Such a realignment would alter commutes for those heading north on Calvert Street and east on Pratt Street.
That proposal depends on the outcome of a city transportation study, Schwartz said.
"That's a heavy lift for sure," said Adam Gross, design principal at Ayers Saint Gross, which worked on the GBC's 2011 proposal and designed the new master plan.
The pedestrian bridge, an idea put forward in 2011 to create a walking loop around the harbor, also would require formal study. In the meantime, the plan proposes a new, free water taxi route to connect the two sides of the harbor.
"Probably the biggest immediate opportunity that could have one of the greatest impacts is to redo the Rash Field areas," Stosur said. "Right now, that is a place that a lot of people kind of walk by to get somewhere else. It's not a place that, maybe unless you're a volleyball player, that really is something that stops and grabs you."
The plan calls for transforming Rash Field into a grassy park with gardens, playgrounds and performance space. The city has asked the Board of Estimates to support $65,000 from the Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development for a study of the specific economic, technical and financial aspects of the field's redesign, which would include an underground parking garage.
Designers said they have deliberately created something that can be carried out in increments, with funding coming piecemeal.
"Money is always a consideration, but at the same time, I think you … have to set out a vision for what you want it to be," said Donald C. Fry, the GBC's president and CEO. "If you can set that vision and find the political will and also the support and excitement about these projects from the private sector and the public, there are ways to find [funding]."
On Oct. 3, Rawlings-Blake asked Gov. Martin O'Malley to include $3 million in each of the next three years for Inner Harbor improvements as part of the state's capital budget. A spokeswoman for the governor confirmed the request but said it is too early to comment on the budget, which is still in development.
Schwartz said the group has also submitted proposals to be included in the city's capital improvement plan and has started to look at grants and approach private entities about the projects.
"There are a whole host of different funding sources that we are identifying," she said. "I've seen a lot of interest."
During the planning process, the group met with private interests along the harbor, including Ashkenazy Acquisition Corp., which bought Harborplace last year for nearly $100 million. A Waterfront Partnership survey of residents found that people wanted to see more locally owned restaurants.
The plan is focused on the public space, said Schwartz, adding that "affecting retail mix is a tough one."
"We are hopeful that the owners of Harborplace will be coming in with a redevelopment plan within the coming months," she said.
Rawlings-Blake also pointed to the role that the owners of private buildings along the waterfront, particularly Harborplace, have to play in revitalizing the area.
"Harborplace is a linchpin in making the transformation," she said.
Development of this plan, the product of more than 200 meetings, started in February. Backers said it would likely take decades for all aspects of the plan to come to fruition.
"What is going to be necessary is for there to be full enthusiasm and support from the citizenry, from the neighborhoods around the harbor, the political leaders and the business leaders … to say this is important," Gross said.

Kentucky Rally Comes Up Short at Missouri
Box Score (PDF)
Game #1
COLUMBIA, Mo. – Robyn Benton scored 22 points and Jada Walker had 15 but a late rally came up just short as the Kentucky women's basketball team lost at Missouri 74-71 on Thursday night.
Blair Green had 13 points for the Cats and Maddie Scherr had 11 points, five rebounds and three assists.
Kentucky (8-5, 0-1 SEC) used its pressure defense to force 25 Missouri turnovers and the Cats turned those into 36 points. However, Missouri was able to control the boards, grabbing 41 rebounds compared to just 27 for Kentucky. The Tigers had 19 second-chance points compared to just five for the Cats.
Things started well for the Cats early in the game. After Missouri scored first, Kentucky went on a 15-2 run, fueled by a pair of threes from Blair Green. Kentucky would extend the lead to 17-5 on a Green layup and the Cats led 19-10 after 10 minutes of action.
The second quarter saw a run of its own, this one by Missouri. The Tigers started the second period with a 17-6 run to lead 27-25. Kentucky tied the game at 27-27 on a pair of Robyn Benton free throws, but the Tigers closed the half on a 12-3 run to lead 39-30 at the half.
Kentucky came out firing from long range in the third period. The Cats got a three from Maddie Scherr, a pair of threes from Benton and one from Green, which brought Kentucky within one, 49-48. But Missouri answered with the next seven points to maintain the lead, which was 58-52 after three quarters.
The Cats would fight back in the fourth quarter. Trailing 66-56, the Cats got a three from Jada Walker, a pair of free throws from Benton, a three from Scherr and a Walker layup to tie the game at 66-66 with 3:13 to play. However, Missouri went on a 7-1 run and despite some late heroics from Walker and Benton, the Cats would come up short.
Missouri (12-2, 1-0) got 20 points from Hayley Frank and 18 from Lauren Hansen.
Kentucky returns to action on Sunday, hosting Arkansas at Memorial Coliseum. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. ET and the game can be seen on SEC Network Plus.

William & Mary's distinction as a leader in American education is over 300 years strong. Growth of the William & Mary brand in the 21st century requires consistent and thoughtful stewardship of university messaging and visuals. These brand guidelines define the university's editorial and graphic standards and provide access to official artwork for members of the William & Mary community.
William & Mary's brand is the living, constantly evolving perception of the university and its position in the higher education landscape. As such, the standards that define it are a perpetual stewardship, not the fruit of a one-time project. William & Mary's brand has seen many iterations over the years, and will continue to be cultivated and communicated afresh in the years to come.
1690s: the cypher and coat of arms are both seen on campus in various contexts.
1694 – 1783: the coat of arms, enclosed in a circle to form a seal, is used as the primary university mark.
1783 – 1929: the Wythe Seal, a second seal bearing the image of a temple, is used as the primary university mark.
1920 – 2006: the original coat of arms, both in circle-enclosed and in unenclosed forms, is used as the primary university mark. From 1974 – 2006 a W&M with accompanying feathers was used to represent William & Mary athletically and in various other places.
2006 – 2014: a W&M logo with custom drawn ampersand is used as the primary university mark. The coat of arms and W&M cypher are also used in the absence of formal usage guidelines.
2014: the university's first comprehensive visual identity guidelines are publicized, anchored by a new university logo bearing the cypher, university name, and year of charter.
2014 – present: university guidelines are continually evaluated and adjusted to reflect current needs and aspirations. An expanded university color palette is introduced in 2018.
