Watershed planning provides the framework for addressing water resources concerns in a comprehensive manner.
As part of Wildlands Engineering's commitment to the protection and conservation of natural resources and development of watershed-scale management solutions, we offer watershed assessment and planning services. Watershed planning promotes water quality improvements, ecosystem restoration, and resource conservation in a comprehensive manner, working within geographic boundaries rather than political ones.
Our team has worked on watershed planning studies in both urban and rural settings for a variety of public and private clients. These studies have typically included analysis and documentation of existing conditions, identification of key watershed stressors, and selection of watershed improvement projects that will improve watershed conditions and protect high value habitats. These watershed plans have been used to direct restoration and preservation efforts, promote implementation of stormwater quality practices, serve as a basis for environmental grant funding, identify options for greenways and other community improvements, and document programmatic needs for the conservation and restoration of aquatic ecosystems.
Learn more about numerous watershed planning projects that Wildlands Engineering has completed.

When it came time to record this, their fourth, album, they had done their homework and prepared a clutch of world beating anthems, all injected with the energy and enthusiasm of men expecting big results. Recruiting super producer Michael Wagener (Mötley Crüe, Ozzy and Accept) the band wasted little time in laying down the law at a Los Angeles studio, creating a sound that combined all the exciting elements of hard rock at the time. Wagener's crystal clean production paid handsome dividends whilst one or two of the songs benefitted by choice co-writes from Jack Ponti (Bon Jovi co-writer) and Dio's Jimmy Bain. Check out 'Calm Before The Storm', 'Cherry Lane', the cheeky 'I Said The Wrong Thing To The Right Girl' and the album's first single 'Somebody's Waiting'. Released in June 1987, via the MCA label, the album received a very positive reception but inexplicably failed to commercially realise its potential. And that was a shame as the album is a fine and near perfect example of red hot rock from an era that embraced the style and sound that Keel perfectly embodied.

Write a function in C which returns a random integer between 1 and 20. One extremely important caracteristic of the function is that it must return a different integer each time it is called. This, obviously, implies that it can only be called twenty times.
Write the same function using a more modern programming language (e.g. Ruby).
Care to give this a go?
Anyone has written something cool?
wait. different from the previous number returned only. or different from all the the numbers ever returned.
but for the second, we'll need to keep track of all numbers returned.
is it a good thing that i put the code on my blog??
Congratulations Adarsh. Your algorithm works really well. Have you had a look at the metaprogramming part?
I am working on that but not yet finished(just started).However,I've finishing modifying the previous version i.e not using the rand() function to generate random number but still using the same algorithm.
I've already posted the new version.

The 7th virtual meeting of Iranian oral history
Principles, Frameworks, and Standards of Conducting Oral History – 7
Compiled by: Iranian Oral History Website
Note: The 7th oral history meeting was held at the Clubhouse and Tarikhgar Rome on Saturday, December 23, 2021, under the management and hosting of Dr. Mehdi Farahani Monfared and performed by Mrs. Mosffa. In this meeting, Dr. Abolfazl Hassanabadi, Morteza Rasulipour, Dr. Habibullah Esmaili, and Dr. Mehdi Abolhasani Targhee spoke about the issue of oral history standards in theory and practice.
In the continuation of the meeting, Dr. Farahani Monfared asked Mr. Abidpour to continue the discussion.
Mr. Abidpour: I think that during the last two or three decades, the discussion of oral history has suffered a kind of distortion. As Mr. Rasulipour also mentioned, oral history is one of the methods of collecting documents in order to show the historical reality in the past from the point of view of a historian to write history; Therefore, if we want to give a scientific definition, we can say that oral history is a group of documents that exist alongside library documents and other sources. What is now in our society and especially with the existence and publication of Mr. Habib Lajavardi's oral history project, or Mr. Dehbashi's oral history talks, it has become clear to the minds of the society and even the officials of this exchange that this is what oral history means. It means to find a prominent researcher or an analyst and talk to the experts of a subject and these conversations are organized and classified and then published.
It can even be said that the type of conversation Abdullah Shahbazi had with Fardoost was very effective in inducing this theory, because he had a very good conversation. In fact, this kind of exchange came to mind that this is what oral history is; but in my opinion, this is a kind of upside down perception of oral history. There may be tens or even thousands of hours of video or audio conversations about a topic with people who are surrounded by that topic. For example, about the history of football that Dr. Esmaili said or the history of religious delegations that Dr. Abolhasani mentioned; but it seems like a mistake to publish these things without a comparative review and review of documents, especially documents that are against the views that have been raised.
One of the problems that is taken with oral history, and therefore the historiography of the European area does not pay much attention to oral history, is that the historian does not get caught up in a discourse of power. The discourse that exists in the society may demand one thing, but the historian may be really looking for the truth that he recognizes. Therefore, there is a contradiction between the historian's work, in which the idea he has and the question he raises is to seek the truth with what the society, the government, or the political power wants from him.
An example is that in the interviews of the late Habib Lajavardi with the leaders and officials of the Pahlavi government that have been published, they all defend the Pahlavi government by presenting the documents that are announced in the interview. The talks that Mr. Hossein Dehbashi gave have the same character and they have a critical character compared to the talks of presenting the official history of the war. It works very well.
I am critical of Mr. Rasolipour's speech, who said that anyone can be a questioner. I think anyone looking for oral history should have a historical study plan. As a historian, he must conduct and collect each and every interview. There may be 10 interviews or even 100 interviews. These interviews are useful for him along with the review of other sources. Publishing what is said in oral history interviews is not good for the truth in my opinion, because these interviews are one person's point of view. Every person has likes and dislikes like all of us, and therefore history is more than one person, and the historian should not get caught in the trap of individual discourse, political discourse, power discourse, etc.
In my opinion, there is a popular understanding of oral history that sometimes different ministries have the desire that only dialogue should be done, but the relevant documents must also be consulted. In my opinion, in the oral history projects of a topic (for example, about the relationship of power during the Pahlavi era), historians should definitely use those interviews, but writings, analysis, statistics and other things should also be used. The thing that perhaps history professors in scientific academic circles do not pay much attention to is due to this fear. The fear that this discourse will come to power and present another form of reality based on interviews and various projects that take place. It means that in every period we finally face limitations and we cannot express all the things we want. Therefore, you must be very careful to listen to the interviews and collect them.
People who are alive should not be allowed to destroy these memories before their death; But these interviews should be along with other factors of the report, so that perhaps the interviews do not show their superiority in writing history. In my opinion, it is a kind of danger for historiography if the interview overcomes the effort of documentary historiography over the writings of documents. Of course, we see this in the American historiography school that contemporary American historiography is mostly influenced by this type of oral history in the two fields of international relations and political science, and it is actually a type of discourse creation. They want to do a kind of discourse-making by bringing the interviews into history. There are different organizations that are looking for their own specific theories. Every organization wants to promote this type of interview-oriented historiography according to the money they have. In my opinion, that central analysis and central document is very important. Oral history is a type of document along with other documents.
Mr. Rasulipour: Each of my friends saw the article from a specific angle, which was very useful for me and I used it. I repeat again, we must check the quality level of our dialogues. We have to critique the conversations we feel are somewhat influential on a case-by-case basis. I have not yet seen a conference that was held in Iran and a word was expressed about the criticism of one or more dialogues. I follow this kind of view more and I really like that in the future we have people in oral history who will become indicators. For young people who want to talk and be role models. Get training from their type of work. By conversation, we mean a standard conversation. If we talk about oral history, let's discuss and criticize a conversation case by case and raise its problems. Let's raise its positive aspects and hold training sessions on them. I hope this will happen one day. All I'm talking about is addressing the shortcomings that oral history practitioners committed. It is natural that we are still in the beginning and although almost thirty years have passed since these oral history activities, it is not very long. Anyway, these experiences and reflections of people should be recorded and put on paper. There will be a time when the interviews will be reviewed and introduced case by case.
Dr. Hassanabadi: As Mr. Rasulipour said, we are in a period where we need a re-examination. I and all those who have a hand in oral history in the last two or three decades, came to the conclusion that oral history has come from the era of rebirth and expansion and now needs a period of reconstruction, formation and consolidation. In the first step, this field, while it has very good potential and actual capacities, should be accepted to work in a framework and structure.
The discussion of standards was discussed tonight from both perspectives, both perspectives are acceptable. That is, in a general perspective, if we consider that we need a discussion of general standards in oral history that all people, government centers and individuals who enter this field must comply and accept accessibility. They should accept the presentation of the original sources, the lack of originality of the text, the importance of the originality of speech over writing, etc. These are issues that are accepted in the world. That is, every person or institution that comes and wants to do oral history work should accept this as an approach.
He must admit that he cannot publish the book without the person's permission. The person does not know that his book has been published. Because of this, it still happens a lot. Also, general standards, which are very common and a little even trivial, but important and effective, should be accepted.
In the second step, there is the issue of specialization of standards, which, as friends mentioned, in any field, according to the conditions of the type of project, different standards may be proposed, used, observed and formulated, and these standards may be the same thing in sports, in the field of science. Political is one thing or it is a completely different discussion in the field of social sciences. However, it is an important point that we must have standards that are accepted. We need to know what to refer to oral history. What should we explain with oral history? Of course, in all fields, we need to redefine standardization that is understandable for everyone.
General standards have been raised to a great extent and we are not lacking in this field. We are now aware of the content of the translations I did or other books that have been translated, and there are sources, but we are not conscious. It is necessary to repeat these standards so much that they are accepted in Iran and accepted by everyone. The discussion of specialization of oral history standards may differ in any field, it is also necessary and important, and God willing, we hope, as friends have suggested, that the upcoming conferences of the Iranian Oral History Association will enter into this kind of perspective to enter a period of revision and reconstruction in oral history. let's be.

A COSMIC STORY
A QUICK HISTORY OF PROMOTIONAL PRODUCTS AND how COSMO FIBER came to be
Did you know that the promotional products industry has been around for centuries? Before the days of ASI, PPAI, and Sage, and before the term "promotional product items" even took meaning, figures of importance such as President George Washington and England's King George had imprinted commemorative images and text for certain celebratory events in the late 1700s using buttons and cards.
The mid-19th century, however, was the first ever recorded promotional project. Taking place in Coshocton, Ohio, Jasper Meek, the owner of a printing press, teamed up with his comrade, Mr. Cantwell, owner of Cantwell Shoes, and made promotional history. Wanting to generate more revenue for his printing press, Meek came upon the idea of promotional imprinting after seeing a young girl drop her school books on the dirt floor. He approached Cantwell with the proposal of imprinting "Buy Cantwell Shoes" upon burlap book bags to be given out to customers who shopped at Cantwell's. Cantwell agreed and soon children all over town were advertising for Cantwell for free. Cantwell's store experienced an influx in sales due to the promotional venture, and both he and Meeks unknowingly become transcribed in history as the originators of this ad specialty arena.
Since then, the promotional products of the moment have continually changed throughout our dynamic times; from calendars to rulers and pencils, to pens of all shapes and sizes after technological advancements in the mid-1900s, and now to almost anything that we can get our hands on. The industry is constantly evolving and is a growing, promoting creature.
And just as the industry had evolved, so did Cosmo Fiber. During the company's inception, however, Cosmo Fiber did not play a role in the promotional industry at all. Rather, our company initially started in the recycled paper and recycled paper materials import/export business back in the year 1990. Hence the name "Cosmo Fiber" had been born with the intentions of "Cosmo" meaning worldly and "Fiber" referring to the paper business. By working with nationwide collectors of recycled paper materials, Cosmo Fiber had actually begun participating in the green movement almost two decades before the focus on being environmentally-friendly had sparked. Yet within a few years, our company operations expanded so that our recycled paper products were exported to China, but then came back as recycled notebooks, journals, portfolios, and the like. Cosmo Fiber then began imprinting upon these staple office products.
Naturally, with the involvement of notebooks and organizers, came the connection to pens and writing instruments. It was like adding peanut butter to the jelly sandwich equation: It just made good sense. From then on, we've continually been adding promotional products to our line every year, with product line expansions such as office accessories, small electronics, drinkware, bags and backpacks, and portfolios and padfolios. We also continue to aid in the minimization of the business sector's carbon footprint upon our earth by promoting recycled products or resource saving items for our eco-savvy shoppers. In particular, in addition to specially educating and training our staff members with regards to today's green society, we've also made that information readily available, digestible, and easily relayed to end-users.
During these past 20 years, Cosmo Fiber has been proud to be your one-stop-shop supplier for all your promotional needs. We thank you for continuing to be a part of our legacy.

South Florida Weekend
President Trump holds re-election fundraiser
June 28, 2017 at 7:56 PM EDT - Updated August 10 at 1:50 PM
WASHINGTON (AP) -- First-time candidate Donald Trump got a late start on fundraising in 2016, holding his first big-ticket donor event only five months before Election Day. That won't be the case next time.
Some 40 months before he stands for re-election, the president holds court at a $35,000-per-plate donor event Wednesday night at his hotel in Washington.
White House deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said there was nothing unusual about raising political cash so early.
"He's raising money for the party," she said. "I don't think that's abnormal for any president."
Sanders' statement that Trump is raising cash for the GOP tells only part of the story, though.
The first cut of the money raised goes to Trump's 2020 re-election campaign. The rest gets spread among various Republican Party entities. Having multiple beneficiaries is what allows Trump to ask for well above the usual $5,400 per-donor maximum for each election cycle.
Those contribution limits are likely to change because this fundraiser is so early that new donation limits for 2020 have not been set by the Federal Election Commission.
Breaking with tradition, the White House initially planned to bar reporters from seeing Trump's speech at the fundraiser. But it relented after reporters objected, and agreed to let a pool of reporters watch the president's remarks.
Trump's historically early campaigning comes with benefits and challenges.
In the first three months of this year, the Trump campaign raised more than $7 million, through small donations and the sale of Trump-themed merchandise such as the ubiquitous, red "Make America Great Again" ball caps. The Republican National Committee also is benefiting from the new president's active campaigning, having raised about $62 million through the end of last month.
Trump's re-election money helps pay for his political rallies. He's held five so far, and campaign director Michael Glassner says those events help keep him connected to his base of voters.
The constant politicking, however, means it is challenging for government employees to avoid inappropriately crossing ethical lines. Some watchdog groups have flagged White House employee tweets that veer into campaign territory. White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters says the employees work closely with lawyers to avoid pitfalls.
Walters also says the White House takes care to make sure that Trump's political events and travel - including the Wednesday fundraiser - are paid for by the campaign and other political entities.
Florida appeals court agrees to take appeal regarding video suppression order in Robert Kraft case
A Florida appeals court agreed Wednesday to hear an appeal related to video used to charge New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft earlier this year in Palm Beach County.
The images are iconic yet new. Todd Douglas Miller and his team crafted the documentary "Apollo 11" from a massive trove of 70-millimeter film footage, re-discovered in the National Archives after half a century.

Is the use of machine translation evil for SEO?
In terms of global website content translation or localization, the best practice is to have content localized professionally by a native speaker.
However, just like everything else, there's a best practice, and there's the reality of conducting business.
So, what is the reality of running a global website?
How does the best practice apply – or not apply – especially when it comes to user-generated content (UGC)?
One of the real-life situations that businesses deal with is the challenge of increasing user engagement without negatively impacting SEO performance.
Site owners agonize over following the best practices for their fixed content on the website, but due to the speed and/or the costs of professional translation, oftentimes, it prohibits them to apply this best practice to UGC translation.
Because of this challenge, I often see global websites showing UGC left in English or the source language on their local sites because they are trying to follow the SEO best practice.
I understand that website owners are concerned about the SEO implications of machine translation.
However, when content is not translated into the local language, it won't help site visitors or website owners.
Let's go through this challenge step by step to see if we can find some middle ground.
Before we deep dive into the topic, I'd like to clarify that this article is specific to user-generated content, and not the entire website.
Fixed content should always be translated and localized professionally by humans without exception.
Page headers and commonly used text, such as column labels, should also be localized and checked by humans.
If you don't want UGC to rank well in the search results or even be indexed by search engines, that is the safest area to implement machine translation.
The user comments, feedback, reviews, etc. which are not the main content of the page can easily be handled with machine translation.
Even if the translation is not perfect, it would provide helpful information to site visitors when they can read it in their languages.
When the UGC is on the pages you wish to be indexed by the search engines and perform well in the organic search results, you need to determine the best translation solution.
This is not machine translation, but another option that some websites use to localize their content. It usually has a database of words, which participants access to add the words in other languages.
It's a low-cost solution when you have volunteers to do the translation work. Wikipedia probably is the largest global website using this solution.
Because it depends on crowd participation, it comes with some concerns.
It is difficult to maintain the quality of the translation.
Some languages may take much longer to generate a large enough database to translate content. This becomes a bigger issue when the source language is not one of the more widely spoken/read languages.
Some machine translation tools let you create a glossary database by words and phrases translated by crowdsourced translation.
Below is an example of a clearly wrong word showing up in Google's Translation Tool.
In order to control the quality of the translation and minimize problems, I suggest that you control who can contribute to the translation project by giving tool access only to trusted editors.
As machine translation technology has advanced with AI, some websites – including large global websites such as Facebook – are implementing the Neural Machine Translation (NMT).
"We have just started being able to use more context for translations. Neural networks open up many future development paths related to adding further context, such as a photo accompanying the text of a post, to create better translations.
Other companies, including Google and Microsoft, also offer NMT solutions for websites and other translation needs.
In addition to text translation, Microsoft developed the Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) for audio speech translation currently used for Skype.
Even with certain advancements, the fact is that machine translation is not perfect just yet.
That said, machine translation quality has improved significantly, especially for Western languages.
Create a list of commonly used words (e.g., categories, tags, product names, other keywords). Get them translated professionally or even in-house. Upload the list to the translation engine.
Spot check the translation from time to time to ensure the quality of translated content.
Add online dictionary using their API.
B2B Industry specific machine translation can handle industry-specific jargon and words better.
Integrate translation management system (TMS) environments for machine translation engine implementation.
Customize the machine translation engine for the content type.
Create training data for AI and machine learning.
Still concerned about using the machine translation in terms of SEO?
"I think the kind of the improvements that are happening with regards to automatically translated content… It could also be used by sites that are legitimately providing translations on a website and they just start with like the auto translated version and then they improve those translations over time.
Many websites already use machine translation for their global sites. Their content is indexed and could perform well by providing quality content for their local audiences.
Indeed, it comes back to the "intent" Mueller spoke about.
Machine translation could be a great solution for some global websites, specifically for handling large volumes of user-generated content.
Making reviews and comments available in different languages can significantly increase visitor satisfaction, engagement, and (most importantly) sales.
Don't let broad standards keep you from serving your consumers. Review the following and make the best decision for your business.
Determine the content on your site that is appropriate for machine translation.
Select the translation solution that works best for your website content.
Optimize the machine translation engine by adding industry-specific terms, keywords, etc.
Create training data for AI.
Monitor the quality of the translation.


The big story of the day: Illegal Trump wiretapping. When you understand that most Republicans now in office are Democrats, then you will know why the Republicans say they can't find any evidence of wiretapping. These are RINOs: Republicans in Name Only. They say there is no court order anywhere about Trump's wiretapping! No kidding. That's why it is illegal.
You know the old joke: How do you eat an elephant? Trump knows how. That was his strategy to get elected — and it worked. This new president has shed light on the real problem: It's a fight over State rights and Constitutional rights with the RINOs and Dems on the same side. Using PC Politics disseminated through the university system via professors who do not tolerate any student disagreeing with them and who do, in point of fact, terrorize with threat of failing any who persist in disagreeing with them, the Feds slowly trained the populace to believe that Big Government Solves All Problems.
Furthermore, the powers-that-be want the populace to believe that You Are Too Stupid To Make Your Own Decisions. How did they make that happen? By federalizing the education system, for one. Folks have been brainwashed from Kindergarten all the way through to higher education to believe that Big Government is the solution. In this, the power hungry have been successful. You've heard the term "Nanny State", right? That's what we've got now. And it is ill serving everybody.
Of course, the question is why this push for Big Government? Simple. It's the seeking of power consolidated among the few. Which leads, by the way, to dictatorships.
Look at MSM's meltdown when Trump allowed other media outlets into press briefings. They claimed Trump was destroying journalists, when all he was doing was including more who had been shoved to the side by the major media players.
These same major media players, who have been proven through their own footage and their own print to be making up stories, own the airwaves and want power themselves.
Right now they've got it. Look at Facebook rolling out their own system of flagging what they have decided is Fake News. Look at Twitter that quietly shadow-bans any website they deem to be enemies of the Democrats.
Don't get me started on the push against State rights. Some states have rolled over and let the Feds tickle their tummies and give them treats (think California) as long as they do what the Feds tell them. "Bacon!", right?
Trump may have run as a Republican, but only because he saw what needed doing and made the decision not to fragment the election process any further.
Trump wanted to win simply to put the power back into the hands of the people. Trump believes the people are smart. He believes they can find solutions. He believes in the Constitution's idea of small federal government. He also defends the Constitution and, by extension, the very rights that make these united states the ones everybody wants to come to. Terrorists (home-grown or imported) hate the US simply because its Constitution supports freedoms and terrorists hate freedom because they are all about them having control.
Trump sees what's been happening. He knows the people who say they "care" are the very ones trying to destroy you. Trump is eating the elephant and its little donkey friend one bite at a time.
So, inflammatory headlines? Ignore them.
Ask yourself "Why this headline and why at this time?" Furthermore, read the whole story. Often, buried deep between "unnamed confidential sources say" and partial quotes taken out of context, is one sentence that puts the lie to the headline and the entire story.
And that, dear friend, is what is passes for journalism these days.

A few weeks ago, I found myself in the DMV, or whatever its name is in the state of Florida. For the third time in my life, I was waiting while one of my daughters took her road test in order to earn her license.
As I sat there, it occurred to me that this is one of the most tense, anxiety-provoking situations that a parent experiences. Because, you see, there is nothing you can do. Your job is done. You cannot take the test for your child; you cannot even be in the car to provide moral support or words of assurance. You have to sit back, hope you've done your best to prepare her and try to keep the nerves from getting the best of you.
As a writer, I experience something similar every time a book is released. I've written the best story I can. I've revised, edited, revised again. I've had it formatted, chosen the best cover I possibly could. And then I release it out into the world.
I can't go with it. I can't be there every time someone buys my book to explain why I made the choices I did, why a character says what she does. I have to let it go and trust that I've done my best.
That day in the DMV, my daughter dashed back into the waiting room wearing a triumphant smile: she had passed. The hard work had paid off, and it was time to celebrate.
Since I'm gearing up to release a new book, I know I'll be back in my virtual waiting room again soon. I hope the results are just as awesome.

Judge Posner to America: We Rule, You Submit
by Maggie Gallagher
The majority in the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals has just rewritten the 1964 Civil Rights Act, ruling that the law's ban on sex discrimination now means sexual orientation discrimination.
Judge Richard Posner, a libertarian legal lion first appointed to the court by Ronald Reagan in 1981, was at least quite frank about his legal reasoning. Sex discrimination did not mean sexual orientation discrimination. But now it does because, well, we have freshened up the meaning of that hoary, old word.
David French is on the case:
Judge Posner at least respects the public enough to be honest. Instead of indulging the majority's charade that the word "sex" encompasses "sexual orientation," he announces a rule of statutory interpretation that he calls, "judicial interpretive updating." He's explicitly giving an old statute a "fresh meaning," one that "infuses [the statute] with vitality and significance today.
As Posner wrote in his decision:
It's true that even today if asked what is the sex of plaintiff Hively, one would answer that she is female or that she is a woman, not that she is a lesbian. Lesbianism denotes a form of sexual or romantic attraction; it is not a physical sex identifier like masculinity or femininity. A broader understanding of the word "sex" in Title VII than the original understanding is thus required in order to be able to classify the discrimination of which Hively complains as a form of sex discrimination.
To get the results Judge Posner believes are just, he has to redefine the meaning of words. So he does. Because, well, who cares about democracy.
This decision, if upheld by the Supreme Court, amounts to giving the Democrats and the Human Rights Campaign its long held legislative goals, without the Democrats having to negotiate on questions like religious liberty protections for employers.
This is the same Judge Posner, by the way, who slammed as "stupid" the decisions on same-sex marriage and free speech by the conservative Supreme Court majority, including Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Scalia.
Brilliant he may be. But also arrogant, condescending and lawless, certainly.

Obama's Mandela Moment
by Victor Davis Hanson
Anatomy of an Obama Moment
In a news-obsessed culture, sometimes the media simply ignores profound stories, such as the cause of the almost inexplicable — and quite brilliantly constructed — recovery of Obama's poll ratings.
Just a few weeks ago, the negative impressions of President Obama's performance, in most of the polls, outranked the favorable, and by anywhere from 3-6 points. All the buzz was of Jimmy Carter redux, and the November historic sweep, with even more to come in 2012. Now? Suddenly, Obama is enjoying about a 3-6 point positive edge (5.6 in the aggregate RealClearPolitics latest posting). That's a dramatic reversal of some 6-12 points in just a few weeks.
Silence?
Why no in-depth exegesis of that astounding development?
Obama's recovery was not merely a result of the media-created blitz of December about "momentum," "recovery," and "triangulation" after the acceptance of the Bush-era tax rates, the approval of the START treaty, and the end of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell." That bump was only about 1-2 points, and by mid-January Obama still suffered higher negatives than positives.
So are things getting that much better?
So was the upswing due to falling energy prices? Nope — gas and heating costs are skyrocketing, and in part due to new federal restrictions on leasing of oil and gas coupled with an anemic dollar.
Good news on the deficit? Hardly. We're on schedule to pile up more trillion-dollar-plus annual deficits, as Obama's own departing economic gurus like Summers, Romer, and Orszag are strangely now warning us of the long-term consequences of their own flawed policies.
Foreign affairs breakthroughs? No again: Putin is still roguish and gleeful about taking us to the cleaners. Ditto looming crises with Iran, Venezuela, and North Korea. The Middle East is a tinderbox. Mexico is a failed state. We have no China policy and are merely passive-aggressive. The world is far scarier than in January 2009.
Obama's Moment
Instead, the current rise is exclusively a direct result of three interrelated phenomena: 1) the tragic January 8, 2011, Tucson shootings; 2) the hysterical left-wing scapegoating of everyone from the Tea Party to Sarah Palin for the violence; and 3) the sudden emergence of a sober and judicious Mandela-like Obama, quite admirably calling for calm on all sides — while suggesting simultaneously that the horrific killings had no connection with the right wing, but also that the horrific killings offer an appropriate moment to reconsider all political zealotry in general.
In the ensuing ten days, Obama's polls and approval have skyrocketed.
However politically brilliant all of this was, it remains in some sense quite morbid, in a creepy sort of never-waste-a-tragedy sense. The reaction to the killings almost instantly blotted out information about and concern for the dead and maimed. Yet in this entire confusing media circus, questions simply were not only not answered, but in fact never raised.
The Inexplicable
In logical terms, how are we to use a moment to reexamine political speech when the moment was explicitly declared not to be connected with political speech at all?
How can a president subtly distance himself from the macabre and revolting behavior of his left-wing base while simultaneously editorializing on unhinged invective in general (e.g., without an embarrassing extreme, there is no occasion to call for moderation from others)?
Why did five days of presidential silence follow the shootings (so unlike instant editorializing about the Mutallab and Hasan incidents), when the likes of Paul Krugman, Frank Rich, Andrew Sullivan, Sheriff Dupnik, and the New York Times rushed in to scavenge political capital amid the carnage? All that might have been bridled with a brief word or two from the White House, a brief Sister Souljah moment admonition to the New York Times to cool it for a while. We know that would have worked, because the Times within hours after the successful Obama speech was calling to cool what it had helped arouse, apparently realizing that its demonization and its refutation of demonization hand-in-glove were politically useful.
And why not some therapeutic confessional of past (and in many cases quite recent) presidential culpability (e.g., the president's own metaphorical use of knives, guns, enemies, punishing, kicking ass, relegation to backseat, get angry, getting in their face, hostage takers, trigger fingers, tearing up)?
OK, I think you readers are already way ahead of me in the answers to these questions.
In the present polarized climate, the most astute way to suggest that the right wing has created a climate of hate is to remind Americans, following a grotesquely violent event that has been milked by the left, that conventional efforts to capitalize on fears are inappropriate. That reminded me of Obama's brilliant 2004 Democratic convention speech (e.g., "It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family: 'E pluribus unum,' out of many, one. Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America."), in which he called for an end of blue/red-state hatred amid the general landscape of the entire Bush/Hitler frenzy which he never mentioned.
Whatever one thought of hate speech in those days, one must confess it was mostly directed at Bush from the left-wing base of the Democratic Party (cf. the Nazi/Brownshirt slurs of a Glenn, Gore, Byrd, Soros, etc.). Yet nothing in Obama's own past career (e.g., his Chicago organizing, his attendance at the hate-filled Trinity United Church, his suing to remove rivals from the Illinois state race, etc.) or his then current and subsequent behavior (e.g., the mysterious dirty-tricks leaking of sealed divorce records about his primary and general election Illinois senatorial rivals, the most partisan voting record in the entire Senate, the demagoguing of the entire Bush national security protocols as Constitution shredding that he was soon to embrace or expand as president) supported such eloquence. "No more red state/blue state polarity" did not presage a subsequent word of warning about novels and films dealing with an imagined assassination of George W. Bush.
Finger-in-the-Wind
And why the uncharacteristic wait to weigh in as polarization peaked? I think the answer is elementary. One, Obama had been burned by his tendency to go hard left in his past off-the-cuff sermonizing. In a nanosecond blaming the "stupidly" acting police for detaining Professor Gates, or immediately worrying more about reactions to the Islamist Hasan than the actual extremist violence of the Islamist Hasan, was politically disastrous and he learned from that.
Two, it was politically brilliant to let the left fully vent for five days. That way they would not be furious that they had been muzzled, and the interval would allow ample time for finger-in-the-wind testing of the national reaction to their deplorable rhetoric. When Obama did at last come forward, the left was both satiated and discredited. And in brilliant morally equivalent fashion, the stage was set to channel growing popular repulsion at the Krugmans of the world into popular repulsion at both the Krugmans and those that they libeled. A sacrificial Paul Krugman could not have wished for more — as, for example, Palin's favorables plummeted.
That Was Then, This Is Now
Obama did not cite his own prior polarizing speeches (not just the martial metaphors but the sleazy caricatures of limb-lopping doctors, fat-cat bankers, Vegas-jetting rich people, back seating Republicans, ice-cream parlor abducting Arizonans, and Republican enemies to be punished as veritable racists) because he knew that, in fact, on occasion such stiletto jabs drew blood. In this regard, contrary to popular opinion, I think Obama's 11th-hour polarizing November blitz really did save some Democratic seats by galvanizing the base in the manner that, say, a Harry Reid was mysteriously reelected by "turnout."
Edged rhetoric surely worked against Hillary Clinton when the wife of the first "black" president was reduced to a veritable racist. And it worked in 2007-8 against an incumbent Bush whose sober post-9/11 implementation of tribunals, renditions, Guantanamo, Predators, preventative detention, wiretaps, and intercepts was reduced by Obama to a near fascist takeover of the country — until they were all adapted by a President Obama himself. To this day, stung Bushites still offer up massive aid to Africa, prescription drug benefits, No Child Left Behind, and deficit spending on social programs to prove they were not the bloodthirsty Draculas who set up the gulag at Guantanamo and unleashed the children-destroying Predator drones.
The Way Ahead
We all know what is coming in 2012 — the most well-financed, Wall Street-subsidized, vitriolic camping in modern memory, in which Obama's rivals will be metaphorically reduced to caricatures of racist, selfish, and cruel nativists. The 2011 Tucson speech will have about as much resonance with Obama's impending campaign style as the 2004 oration affected his 2004-9 political behavior.
Rhetoric in the New Age of Tolerance
And finally, why not an iota of presidential follow-up when in nanoseconds Obama's own progressive supporters returned to form and took up the old successful hate tropes? Rep. Cohen (D-TN) was soon comparing conservative opponents to Nazis in their Goebbels-like propaganda that likewise would, we were to believe, result in a Holocaust-like denial of basic human compassion. Columnists in Slate were back to the old Jonathan Chait-style ("I hate George Bush. There, I said it") of declaring their unabashed loathing for political opponents ("Why I Loathe my Connecticut Senator"). All that was left was the reemergence from his Atlanta peace center of a smiling Jimmy Carter, quoting scripture as he might yet again remind us that the elder Bush was "effeminate," Vice President Cheney was a "militant," the younger Bush was the "worst" president, and Israel is an "apartheid" state.
Pit Bulls from Mars
All these contortions reminded me of a neighbor next to our orchard who raised pit bulls. I have recalled the saga before (there were numerous and differing incidents throughout an entire year), but will so again. Without any supervision, the snappers ran in and out of the plum and nectarine orchard and had me terrified both of their teeth and their master who unleashed them. Finally I could hardly irrigate. But when, with loaded pump 12 gauge, I went over to complain of the danger (the proverbial final straw was my young son trapped in the truck bed by snapping dogs), I was met by the dog owner's sudden impassioned speeches of how much he deplored the snarling, the snapping, and the biting of his prodigy and, indeed, how much he hated all such rogue dogs in general and the unfortunate reaction that they incurred such as my own need for defensive arms — without ever citing why I had gone over there in the first place or offering any assurance that the snarling, snapping, and biting would ever cease. (It was as if the dogs had landed from Mars to attack me but were nonetheless provident in reminding both of us of the need for calm.)
One could almost surmise that without a foaming hateful base both to draw blood from an opponent while offending the common decency, there can be no more Mandela moments of national healing — and no healing Mandelas to offer them.

Lawless Beauty brings clean narrative to QVC
Lawless Beauty is headed to QVC.
On Friday at 11 p.m. EST, Lawless Beauty will make its TV shopping debut, about seven days after the brand's makeup products were first listed on QVC.com. This is Lawless Beauty's first foray into live shopping. Annie Lawless, Lawless Beauty founder and CEO, will Skype in to the Friday program, while QVC host Shawn Killinger will be stationed in the physical studio in West Chester, Penn. Lawless will appear on QVC once a month, she said, and the brand will offer an exclusive QVC product bundle each time, with the first being an eyeshadow palette and lipstick.
According to previous Glossy reporting. Lawless Beauty doubled its sales as of Oct. 2020, despite brick-and-mortar making up 70% of its pre-pandemic revenue. The company received its first outside funding of $5 million in 2019 from Cult Capital. It then was able to focus on digital hires, including a new director of consumer and digital marketing, a new president, a head of branding and design, and a new digital agency. The brand is currently looking for a new head of marketing, as well. Lawless declined to state sales expectations for QVC, but said that the brand is on track to double its overall sales in 2021 and that it's expected to close its fundraising round this year.
"Our goal is to tap into this broadcast, streaming, social and mobile way of shopping," said Lawless. "The way consumers shop post-pandemic going to be forever changed. We want to tap into this new QVC core demographic of customers who are avid and engaged shoppers, and that type of shopper will [connect] with our message and goal of clean beauty."
Lawless plans to talk about her founder story and the mission of Lawless Beauty to expand the clean makeup category. She also plans to demo the products, many of which offer high coverage, on several different skin tones and skin types. Lawless said she views the brand's debut on QVC as an "evolution and continuation" of her role as a public-facing founder. Lawless Beauty maintains an Instagram account with around 77,000 followers, while Lawless's own account has more than 200,000 followers. She typically participates in Instagram Reels videos and IGTV sessions on both her own account and the brand's.
Since March 2020, brands looking to diversify their omnichannel retail strategy beyond brick-and-mortar have turned to QVC and its sister network HSN to accomplish this. Brands like Estèe Lauder, MAC Cosmetics and Follain, with its private label skin care, have joined in the last 15 months. Meanwhile, Beautycounter, Beekman 1802 and Ulta Beauty have sought to build their own livestream shopping platforms.
"A lot of brands are seeing the data and the sales numbers and the power of what's been happening in China," said Madison Schill, head of communications at livestream-shopping platform Livescale. "It's important to anchor a lot of [these types of] innovations in key performance indicators, such as what can you expect [in the short-term] and what can you expect this to evolve into."
Lawless pointed out that QVC also helps tap into a more mature audience, as Lawless Beauty's core customers are typically younger than 30-years-old due to its Sephora partnership. According to the Wall Street Journal, QVC's core customers are women ages 35-64, and roughly 86% of QVC's shipped sales came from repeat customers who spent an average of $1,281 in 2019. But Gen Zers have also played a role in the recent livestream boom.
"My background in beauty comes from blogging and YouTube. To me, QVC feels similar to YouTube-style livestream storytelling," said Lawless. "QVC is going to allow us to tap into a whole new customer base that may not have access to us through Sephora or our social channels."

Crystal Palace manager identifies three key areas of his squad he wants to strengthen in January
Palace manager outlines his priorities for the January transfer window
Robert Warlow
Roy Hodgson says there are three key areas of his Crystal Palace squad that he wants to strengthen in January, if possible.
The transfer window opens in less than three weeks, with Palace expected to be busy in the market, given their current position.
But while Hodgson says he has not had conversations about how much money will be available in January, he knows where he would like to add players next month.
"We have only got two goalkeepers in the club, which I don't think is anywhere near enough for Premier League football," he said.
"We saw what happened when Wayne Hennessey had a back spasm the other day at West Brom, so another goalkeeper of course.
BRIGHTON, ENGLAND - NOVEMBER 28: Wayne Hennessey of Crystal Palace issues instructions during the Premier League match between Brighton and Hove Albion and Crystal Palace at Amex Stadium on November 28, 2017 in Brighton, England. (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images)
"We have only got one recognised centre forward at the club in Christian Benteke, because Bakary Sako was signed by this club as a winger.
Crystal Palace boss is sure that midfielder won't be leaving before the end of the season
"And in central midfield, I don't think we have the amount of cover that I think is necessary for a Premier League side.
"We don't have enough cover there, and with Luka Milivojevic out, we find ourselves shorter there.
Crystal Palace boss stresses the importance of the next six weeks ahead of January transfer window
"Those are three areas we would like to strengthen and cover particularly.
"When we get our first XI on the field at the moment, it is doing ok, but I would say that with other option we have, and particularly with injuries, our squad is a lot more sparse than other Premier League teams.

(Closed) why do people still have issues with my interracial marriage?
posted 9 years ago in Intercultural
Annabelle86
Its been a few weeks since my wedding and I usually dont think about the fact that we are a interracial couple, but last night my dad told me that at his work (a hospital) a coworker came up to him and was talking about a wedding she had seen at a hotel she was staying at (naming my venue, my date, and describing me) and there was *gasp* black and white people mixing! And to top it off, the bride was white and the groom was black and it was just disgusting! My father, to his credit, proudly informed his coworker that she had seen his daughter and his new son in laws wedding. Needless to say, she shut up quickly and I imagine feels very awkward, and I got a laugh out of it, but I am still a bit surprised, we live in the NE and while I know people have issues with interracial couples I still havent heard anything directly (people tend to save their comments for behind our backs.) I like to think that people like her are in the minority but how can I know? Have any other brides encountered negative opinions about their relationships?

"why do people still have issues with my interracial marriage?"
Answer: Because they're dumb.
2ndtime
I hope you are thick skinned. You are now getting a taste of the attitudes that minorites have been dealing with for years.
By The Way, you will never know. Like you said, it's done behind your back, in secrecy, amongst themselves (as far as they know).
Wedding: August 2010
Wow! Seriously? This blows my mind!
I am not in an interratial relationship but I still can't believe there are people out there who would balk at white and black people "mixing"… WTF!!!!!!
lefeymw
The same reason people have issues with gay marriages, or just being gay, with religious intolerance etc.
Sadly there will always be predudices for a long time to come.
I call it ignorance and they defend it with any number of silly arguments.
MissHobbit
Really? Really! People!

Mr. Tattoo's family (moms side) in the south make dumb comments like that. Like one time his aunt said, "No. I'm not allowing that n*gger to stay in my house! She can stay at a hotel alone." Yeah…not invited to the wedding. The only people on his mom's side that's invited is his mom, her husband, two uncles, and his siblings. Everyone else can choke.
You become numb to it after a while.
Pumpkin0302
You'd be surprised. Even people you wouldn't expect say things like that when they think they're comfortable with you. My friend's parents flipped out when she was dating a black guy. They claimed they were just worried about how difficult it would be for her and what people would think, but I just don't think they were thrilled with it personally.
I once knew a girl who married a white guy (she was asian), but had a discussion with a bunch of us about how she'd never have kids with her husband because she didn't think it was a good idea to have a mixed kid.
The weirdest part of this post (to me) is that she would come right up to your dad and tell him that. How strange! I work with ladies like that, just trying to stir up trouble and not caring who gets hurt in the process.
There will always be racist people, most will be racist behind your back. But if it wasn't for race, they would find something else terrible to say, just for the attention/drama.
ttn133
Maybe it depends on the location but I haven't seen any issues with interracial marriages. I've lived in two areas my life (suburbs of Philadelphia and now Seattle) and I've noticed people really don't care.
Although, I guess it doesn't really depend on location either. There will still be people who are still stuck in that mindset.
Sorry, that someone said that about your wedding. I would be so pissed if I heard that about my wedding.

Wedding: December 2011
…because they are ignorrant?
That's awful. Your dad sounds like an awesome guy though. What a close minded little shrew that woman is. And what would make her think your dad would agree with her?! That's just terrible. Trust me, there are far more people who don't notice what colour(s) couples are and just see happy people in love than people like her. Don't let the bad ones bring you down.
Mrs. Doily
Wedding: March 2012 - Father\'s Vineyard Church/ A Touch of Class Banquet Center
People are mean and ignorant. Plain and simple. It's sad that people let their minds be clouded by prejudice and hate. Often times they haven't even really met and gotten to know a person of the group that they hate. It's sad. Keep your chin up, you have more love and class in you than that stupid lady has in her pinky toe.
farmgirl2106
That's terrible. Honestly, I don't really get it either. That's their biggest problem in life, considering it's not even a problem? And to use words like "disgusting?" Really? Yeesh.
This didn't happen to me, but this just popped into my head too. I had a friend in college who had been dating this girl for a few years. His family was totally cool with her and the relationship until one day they happened to meet her parents. Well they are Mexican and his parents had no idea she was mexican (she's very fair skinned, blue eyes) and instantly everything changed. They insisted he end the relationship. He didn't, but just an example. I have no idea why they had such a big issue with it, but it was shocking after so long.

Our wedding has been perfectly encapsulated with memories that will last forever, thanks to Neha's wonderful photography skills! Throughout our journey, Neha captured moments both intimate and grand without ever seeming intrusive. She always had creative ideas of how to best represent a moment, with the photos all turning out beautiful, authentic and real rather than forced. For individual photos, we were always made to feel relaxed and at ease, and our best smiles brought forward and always lots of laughs. We couldn't imagine having better memories of our special time, so thank you Neha for giving that to us!
What's not to like about Neha? She's a wonderful, friendly, talented person who is always brimming with positivity and creative ideas, regardless of whether they are related to her photography or not. We celebrated our wedding in the heart of the Alps (since we both live in Germany) at a hiking lodge. Nothing ostentatious, just a gathering of all our friends amidst some stunning Alpine scenery. Now, when we look at Neha's photos, we are reminded of how magical and amazing that weekend was. Neha has a unique and uncanny ability to capture all those special moments. She seems to be able to do this consistently with ease. It would be a crime not to have Neha shoot your special events. Not only are her photos beautiful, but she's also a really wonderful guest to have. I know that she will always be our number-one choice as photographer. Nobody else even comes close.
I couldn't have found a better photographer for my wedding. Neha is easy to work with and has somehow managed to capture the most special moments from all the days. She's fun and she definitely not the kind of photographer who makes you pose 10 times for the same click. I loved working with her!
Definitely one of the most talented, creative and fun photographers out there. Being self taught, her work strongly proves her dedication and hardwork that has gone into honing her craft! You should only want the best for your big day, and that means Neha!
If you want a photographer that is not only super talented but also a gem of a human being - ekdum kohinoor diamond quality - Neha is your girl! Warning: She will infiltrate your family's inner circle in no time (just like shahrukh khan in DDLJ) and make you forget that she isn't actually a family member. You may even cry at the end of the wedding because she is leaving. The quality of her work and her expertise in capturing moments is here for everyone to see. I love how candid her photos are. They always show real emotions, real moments. None of the posy fake looking crap from this pro. Book her already! It'll be the best decision you've made about the wedding.
Neha is a magician. Her photos tell beautiful stories. She is not a photographer who makes you pose for a picture. She just captures you in your best..when you are completely unaware. For a bride, Neha is a dream photographer to have, because she not only makes you feel like the most beautiful person on your D day, but also really makes you look like one in all her photos. I am saying this from first hand experience. You will see her bouncing around the venue, mingling with everyone and making every person feel important. (Just what you need on your big day). She is always bustling with energy that is so contagious. It's refreshing to be around her. I definitely highly recommend Neha Brackstone photography for all your special days!
Neha has an amazing eye for moments and the talent to match. I am not terribly camera-friendly which she was aware of and managed to take some amazing photos without me even realising it (or having the opportunity to make a fuss!) that my family and I treasure. She has lifelong fans in us and look forward to her photographing all our major life milestones!
Neha has a knack of making photoshoots fun and hence the pictures she takes come out extremely natural. She helps bring out the personality of her clients through her pictures. When I got married I asked Neha to come over and take some fun shots of me and my husband.. those are truely the lovliest pictures I have of the two of us. Then when we had our son I called her to come over to take some pictures... the photoshoot with a baby was difficult but we sailed through it coz Neha captured his regular routine which will always be a memory for me of my sons childhood. Neha's photography are editing are truley unique and I think everyone should have atleast one set of pictures taken by her. Her photos are not just pictures but treasures of moments and memories.
I think neha is the most approachable and friendly photographer I know. I am so conscious in front of the camera but all thanks to neha we managed to get some natural photos of mine (which are a rarity). She instantly makes you feel at ease and before you know it she has got a few OMG pics. She is super friendly and can manage to make friends with all ages. From a new born to an elderly person. We love her!!!
Neha is simply fantastic! We fell in love with her work when we saw the pictures she took at a friend's wedding. We knew right then that we had found the perfect wedding photographer! She knows how to capture the best moments.. the emotional moments, the funny moments, the grand moments - all of them! We cannot stop looking at the pictures she took at our wedding! In addition to her excellent quality of work, Neha is an incredibly delightful person! She got along so well with our family and friends, and was more of a friend than a photographer at our wedding. Neha also managed to give us over 100 incredible pictures just ONE day after the wedding as we wanted to play them on a screen at our reception dinner. In short, she's the best!

Ringolsby: Unexpected Outcome
By Tracy Ringolsby
Before Charlie Blackmon entered his senior year at Georgia Tech in 2008, he was a little-used lefthanded reliever.
But then Blackmon's baseball journey took a strange turn. He disembarked for Grand Prairie, Texas, to play in a college summer league, but there was only one problem: his left arm bothered him.
So when he showed up, he told manager Rusty Greer, the former Rangers outfielder, that he was an outfielder. The first chapter in a strange tale of Charlie Blackmon's emergence as a big league all-star was being written.
"I was coming back from bone spurs and was super inconsistent," Blackmon remembered. "I wasn't very good. But I wanted to play baseball. I hit a little bit in junior college (he spent two years at Young Harris JC in Georgia), but I had not played a position since high school. It wasn't like I thought I was going to be a great hitter. I just wanted to get on the field."
By the end of the summer, Blackmon was an outfielder—period. He had taken the first step in a transition that allowed him to blossom into a two-time all-star, an NL batting champ and the man who last summer set a major league record for leadoff hitters with 103 of his 104 RBIs coming out of the top spot in the lineup. In April, the Rockies extended Blackmon's contract through the 2023 season at six years and $108 million.
The biggest challenge came when Blackmon showed up for the fall semester at college. Greer had called Georgia Tech coach Danny Hall, but Hall wasn't sure the move was going to work.
"I come back and it's, 'All right, you think you are a hitter now,'" Blackmon remembers Hall saying.
Hall was willing to give it a look, but he wasn't going to make it easy.
"I remember that first workout in the fall. The first guy I face in an intrasquad game is our Friday night pitcher, David Duncan," Blackmon said. "He's lefthanded. He is 6-foot-9, 230 (pounds). He was a fifth-round draft choice of the Astros. I wasn't really excited he was going to be my first at-bat.
"He threw a fastball over the plate and I hit it as good as I can hit a baseball. It goes way out. In intrasquad games, you don't hit a home run and run the bases. I touch first base and head back to the dugout. Danny Hall is laughing, completely laughing. He doesn't know what to think. I am thinking I was meant to be an outfielder. Since that time, I was a hitter."
A pretty good hitter. He was, after all, taken by the Rockies in the second round of the 2008 draft after his senior year at Tech—much to Blackmon's surprise.
"When it's just one season, you have to get someone's attention early enough that they are going to pay enough attention to you that when it comes to the draft, they are willing to push hard for you," Blackmon said. "I was a one-year wonder. Going in the second round was crazy high. I was thinking the 15th to 20th rounds would be good."
Tommy Pham Is Winning Games For The Rays (Three Up, Three Down)
A look at three players trending up and three more trending the opposite direction, led by Tommy Pham.
By the time teams were finalizing their draft lists, however, Blackmon had made a believer of Hall. How big a believer? Big enough that he convinced Rockies special assistant Danny Montgomery that Blackmon was the real deal.
"I flew in on Sunday to see a kid at a Sunday game, (and) coach Hall tells me to keep an eye on his center fielder, that the kid had been a pitcher, but he's hitting now," Montgomery said. "He told me, 'Rusty Greer worked with him during the summer and kept saying I need to let the guy hit, so I let the guy hit.'"
Montgomery showed up for the Sunday game and kept an eye on Blackmon. He liked what he saw.
"Tech had a makeup game on Monday, so I decided to stay another day and see (Blackmon) again," Montgomery said. "I didn't tell anybody, not even our area scout. I show up on Monday and I am sitting at the top of the stadium, away from everybody else. I like him."
How much did Montgomery like Blackmon? He liked him enough that he got scouting director Bill Schmidt to select Blackmon in the second round, a pick that had most scouting directors shaking their heads in disbelief. If they had reports on Blackmon, they were the kind that would have had him going in the 20th round or later.
"I'm not knocking anybody, but after what Danny Hall told me and what I saw I was like, 'Wow, look at this guy,'" Montgomery said.
Blackmon certainly isn't a sleeper anymore.

In July of 1956, several weeks might pass before spotting another Corvette. When Johnny Zeh and Jerry Wright met to discuss their Corvettes, the idea to establish a Corvette Club was born.
Members enjoy many different social and competitive activities. Some like to test their driving skill by navigating through various auto cross track configurations in timed events. Other members like to compete in NCCA's Vette Magic all Corvette Drag Race each year. Men and women journey from all parts of California and bordering states to compete in 1/4 mile drag races for prizes. NCCA members have a strong tradition of placing well at car shows where you see older and newer Corvettes looking their best.
The fun continues when members take their Corvettes on weekend tours to various parts of California where driving the scenic roads are part of the Corvette experience (go to download NCCA files to view NCCA Touring Rules and Etiquette). Find out more about NCCA membership requirements, dates and times for meetings and have fun "corvetting."
Meeting Information: NCCA General Business Meetings are held on the first Tuesday of every month at the San Lorenzo Homes Association in San Lorenzo at 7:00pm (377 Paseo Grande, San Lorenzo, CA). The NCCA Executive Board Meetings are held on the last Tuesday of every month at Ricky's Sports Lounge in San Leandro at 7:00pm (15028 Hesperian Blvd., San Leandro).

Possible Duplicate:
Getting list of currently active managed threads in .NET?

In a c# method I start several threads simultaneously with the following construct:

How can I get the list of all active threads afterwards and kill them all excluding the main thread?

A: If you really want to kill the thread, capture the return value from new Thread() and call myThread.Abort()
Thread myThread = new Thread(() =>

"Autonomous underwater vehicle market is expected to grow at a significant rate between 2017 and 2023"
The autonomous underwater vehicle market is expected to grow from USD 362.5 million in 2017 to USD 1,206.9 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 22.20% during the forecast period. The increasing demand for AUVs worldwide for monitoring sea borders and for various applications in the oil & gas industries is driving the growth of the autonomous underwater vehicle market. However, stringent government regulations on using AUVs in countries such as the US and high costs of operations are restraining the growth of the market.
"AUV market for archeological and exploration applications is likely to grow at a high rate between 2017 and 2023"
Among all applications, the autonomous underwater vehicle market for archeological and exploration applications is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2017 and 2023. AUVs are widely used as an important tool for underwater exploration activities to extract minerals such as cobalt, zinc, and magnesium; these minerals are used in the fabrication of smartphones, laptops, and hybrid cars, among others. However, military & defense applications are expected to hold the largest share of the autonomous underwater vehicle market in 2017.
"AUV market for imaging technology is estimated to grow at a high rate between 2017 and 2023"
Imaging systems on AUVs are capable of capturing pictures of the seabed and the surrounding habitat, which help researchers in their oceanography or habitat research studies. Along with this, the growing awareness about the ability of these imaging systems to provide exact information, such as color and size of objects present in the area under survey, is one of the key factors contributing to the growth of the market for imaging technology.
"North America is a major market for AUVs"
North America held the largest share of the autonomous underwater vehicle market in 2016. North America is home to some of the major players in the autonomous underwater vehicle market such as Boston Engineering Corporation (US), Bluefin Robotics (US), Teledyne Technologies (US), L3 OceanServer (US), and International Submarine Engineering Limited (Canada). Also, the increasing adoption of AUVs for military & defense applications in the US is driving the growth of the AUV market in North America. However, among all the applications, the autonomous underwater vehicle market in APAC is expected to grow at the highest rate between 2017 and 2023.
The major players in the AUV market include Kongsberg Maritime (Norway), Teledyne Gavia ehf. (Iceland), Bluefin Robotics (US), ECA Group (France), Saab (Sweden), Fugro (Netherlands), ATLAS ELEKTRONIK GmbH (Germany), L3 OceanServer (US), Lockheed Martin Corp. (US), Boston Engineering Corporation (US), International Submarine Engineering Ltd. (Canada), the Boeing Company (US), GRAAL, inc. (Italy), Riptide Autonomous Solutions (US), Hydromea SA (Switzerland), and BaltRobotics (Poland).

On the basis of type, the AUV market has been segmented into shallow AUVs (depth up to 100 meters), medium AUVs (depth up to 1,000 meters), and large AUVs (depth more than 1,000 meters). The AUV market, on the basis of technology, has been segmented into collision avoidance, communication, navigation, propulsion, and imaging. On the basis of payloads mounted on AUVs, the AUV payload market has been segmented into cameras, sensors, synthetic aperture sonars, echo sounders, acoustic Doppler current profilers, and others. The AUV market, on the basis of application, has been segmented into military & defense, oil & gas, environmental protection and monitoring, oceanography, archeological and exploration, and search and salvage operations. The global AUV market, on the basis of geography, has been segmented into four major regions-North America, Europe, APAC, and RoW.

I was extremely lucky on day 2 to have a tour guide! This time was much more about catching up with Linden, a friend from Manchester who now lives in Hong Kong, and having a potter about, than manic site seeing.
So no big camera but we did visit some nice spots north of Kowloon getting away from the crazy tourist areas. This is Wong Tai Sin temple.
With it's zodiac Buddha's like I also saw at Lantau.
And then a beautiful wish garden (thanks Linden for the picture).
After the temple we walked to Kowloon Walled City Park. On the way we got a clear (as clear as hazy Hong Kong gets) view of 'lion rock'.
Today it's a lovely park with some cos play going on while we were there!
I couldn't help myself taking photos that show the full height of surrounding skyscrapers, the whole of Hong Kong was like this. With some time to kill before meeting up with Linden's fiancée she showed me the longest outdoor escalators located around the Soho area.
We did not travel anywhere near the whole way, it gets a bit ridiculous after a while! And stopped for drinks instead.
Do you see the tube sign! The Soho area is full of ex-pats!
And that was about it for day 2. On day 3 I go to Macau.
