Winners leave very little to chance. Elite athletes are very globally in tune with their capabilities and are rarely surprised by their performance. Taking guesses at what you are going to press or pull in a contest is a huge mistake when you are limited to three attempts (some contests allow everyone to go until they miss and the only decision you need to make is where to jump in).
Having a proper strategy and training for those numbers is key to performing your absolute best when it's all on the line. Before I tell how how to determine numbers for a max overhead, let's go over a few principals I hold dear as a coach.
True maximum lifts are reserved for contest conditions where they are necessary. Going for your limit ups the risk of injury, especially without a prior peak period. Besides, it really only matters under true conditions, so why risk it.
Being comfortable with heavy weights is all part of being able to hit a true maximum lift. If singles are programmed in, it should still be a number you are going to make unless you are having an off day. Let us say for example that your best contest log lift is 300 pounds. Working singles at 95% translates to 285. This is a reasonable number to hit for a triple series of one rep. If you are in stride and that weight is feeling light just go up five pounds total and try one. No need to take 100% unless you have been making huge strides since your last contest (unless of course you run into the following scenario).
It may be two years between contested maximums. If that is the case continue to keep increasing your training weights past your contested best. In 12 months your gym number will often surpass your true best, (nevertheless your PR is still what it was under contest conditions) but you will now need a Working Personal Record (WPR). When your WPR goes beyond your true PR you will substitute that number when making a contest decision.
All of these techniques allow you to use more weight then you would on a standard overhead and will make you more comfortable with the weight you plan on using, conditioning your muscles and joints for the lock out.
Two to three weeks prior to your contest you should have a very good idea of what you are capable of for a solid heavy single. We will use your numbers to decide how to proceed in the contest where you will be peaked after maximizing your recovery and recovering during your deload week.
Choosing your opener should be easy. This is a weight you never miss for two or three reps. Let's say for example we are going for a contest max log press and you have been hitting three reps with 285 for three sets of three. Open with 285 and get yourself on the scoreboard and into the game. This would translate to about 90% of your maximum, and if you have been doing heavy singles that you rarely miss a calculated 100% (your WPR) would be 313 pounds. Referring to the initial example of a 300 pound max, your best (on paper) is now up thirteen pounds. Your second lift should not be a gamble and I recommend breaking your previous PR by five pounds. This weight should be comfortable for you, another guaranteed make and a personal win with a new PR. Now, you may have a decision to make but it should be fairly easy.
As we said previously, 313 is your calculated max. I would advise my athlete to go for 315 if it does not affect their placing. If hitting 320 could secure a win or a large accumulation of points, you may consider pushing the envelope. It would depend on how you feel that day, the rest of the events contested and how you plan on placing on them. I would never though expect to hit much more than that and be successful, especially if you have been training correctly and not sandbagging sessions.
All in all, hitting a new max is very rewarding and can renew your passion for the sport. While not the most common event in a contest, when the opportunity arises to pursue them it can be a fun break from the endurance game of 60 second maximum rep events. Don't get too caught up in chasing maximums year round, but be smart when given the opportunity.

my laptop has seriously crashed yesterday and i am now typing with a school computer.
a happiness though itis just before the presentation(2 days later) and i still have to work a lot. i might have to buy a new computer again. i think maybe god tells me to stop and think myself objectively. i will write this site in english fora while.
Anyway,, I write some of my memory to forget my pain today. If you prefer to resd in japanese, I amsorry for your inconvinience. plese just wait for a few days!
Recently, I am working for thereserch project at the school. the school is still relatvely quiet now. but somebody are tackling with their presentations. so in the midnight i sometimes hear someone roaring and shouting at his/ her computer monitor because the work doesn't match as much as their will. though it seems tough but it is interesting to remind the building sectionalplan; the diagonal section like a baseball studium-the space people emotionally be laud.
These are pictures of Albert Frey's housein Palm Springs in CA. Aoocrding to it, by the 1950's and 60's Palm Springs had become a resort town for the American rich and famous. Major stars such as Bob Hope, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner built or bought houses in this period, giving the town a world wide fame as the place the stars went to relax. 1987 saw U2 released the song The Joshua Tree, located in the desert area around the city.
In 2005, I landed on there. From Boston and New York, the climate there was out of my imagination; it was OUTRAGEOUSLY hot , and what was worse, my rental car didn't work air condition. But when I opened the door, the the hot and dry winds baked up my skin. Nothing to do with that heat and thirst , I visited the house in the desert city. No man except for back-packers walked on the sunny streets.
Located on the very steepy and rocky hill in the corner of the city, it overlooks the total city's view surroued by desert land–no man's land. The night view though the trancparet glass depicts highly the contrast between liveless black and simmer lights–in which air condition enabled people to live there, and dramatically changed the buildings' appearance wrapped with large glass walls .
The guide told me it was him who firstly designed an air conditioning building into the city.
It is the swiss born architects' private house and he loved amazing landscape. He even tried to invite Le Corbusier, his previous master in Paris, to show new phenomena of the urban environment and architecture in this frontier.
Thus he located the shed so that he could sleep with the rock–never married there again after a divorce. The rock intersecks the house and connects inside / ouside, and also functions as an anchor which ambiguously distinguishes / connects the living / bed space beneath the one-room ceiling. The ceiling line of the structural I shape beam over the rock makes harmony with the rock to specify and visualize such a spatial perception.
Details of the interface between natural and artificial is very simple but full of care, which show his sense of his life there.
Now, he's gone, and a curator maintains the house. Some of the interior parts like the chairs and the curtain have been changed.
it is great you are writing in english. i checked you page several times. it is now possible to understand it, it would be great if you could continue writing in english.
Yeah, actually for me to write in English sometimes changes my mind into more decisive in my mind. I could agree with Colomina's opinion on that, though I am definitely not so fluent as her.
It is very interesting to feel something different for me as a Japanese. I try to wirte in Engilish to enjoy and communicate with you.
I would say you should write more in English to give me and J.Ferrao a chance to understand your idea…^^ Thanks..


Ad-free premium subscription models may be the logical next step for news publishers to create new revenue opportunities, The Australian's editor John Lehmann mused during an Advertising Week APAC panel discussion on Tuesday.
While stating the News Corp Australia-owned masthead was not yet considering the implementation of this option, Mr Lehmann did not rule out a premium subscription tier sometime in the future.
Speaking on a panel called "Beyond the Rivers of Gold", Mr Lehmann and David Higgins, CEO and editor-in-chief of online news brand Stockhead, discussed the future relationship of journalism and advertising.
Mr Lehmann said "subscription revenue is really the game" for The Australian in the years to come.
However, advertising is still an important revenue stream for the masthead, accounting for 40 per cent of income.
"While we hear a lot about advertising drying up, it still is 40 per cent of our business. The Australian over the past two years has made a profit which really has been based on having strong print advertising revenue continuing," Mr Lehmann said.
The Australian's supplemental magazines, including Wish andMansion, have proven to be "very strong among premium advertisers" who want "to be involved in those" products.
The focus at The Australian seems to be very much oriented toward print advertising, with the masthead's editor dismissing programmatic and digital advertising due to high cost and low return.
"If you are in the programmatic game, it is very, very hard to sustain a business like ours on those CPMs that are charged. I mean, really, it's a waste of time for us to get too concerned about that," Mr Lehmann said.


This weekend the Father-in-Law took the family to eat at Aiea's Buzz's. Yummy food! My 9 year old boy was looking forward to the escargot (yup, my 9 year old) but unfortunately they were out 😦 They certainly made up for that with the rest of the die-licious food and excellent service.

LONDON, Dec 4: " The producers of "Harry Potter and The Cursed Child" are in talks to bring the West End play to Broadway.
The news was revealed on Jk Rowling''s Pottermore site, where producers Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender announced they were in the final stages of talks to transfer the production to the US, reported Contactmusic.
According to Pottermore, the plan is to stage the play at the Lyric Theatre in New York in the spring of 2018, after the theatre undergoes a multi-million-dollar transformation.
"The moment we opened in the West End, the inevitable question was 'when are you going to Broadway?" Friedman said.
Eventually, the team settled on The Lyric Theatre, which will be completely remodelled to accommodate the unique production.
"The Cursed Child" opened in London's Palace Theatre in July, receiving rave reviews from fans and critics.

Q: Panda sum rows based on metric on column value I have a dataframe df of the form
 type  | time   | value
------------------------
  a    |    1.2 |  1
  a    |    1.3 |  3
  a    |    2.1 |  4
  a    |    2.3 |  6
  b    |    2   |  21
  b    |    3   |  3
  .         .      .
  .         .      .

Is there any feasible way to, for all rows, consolidate (sum) all following rows of a given type that have a timestamp difference of less than, for example, 1?
So for this example, the second and third row should be added to the first and the output should be
 type  | time   | value
------------------------
  a    |    1.2 |  8
  a    |    2.3 |  6
  b    |    2   |  21
  b    |    3   |  3
  .         .      .
  .         .      .

Normally I would simply iterate over every row, add the value for all following rows that satisfy the constraint to the active row and then drop all rows whose values were added from the dataframe. But I'm not completely sure how to do that safely with panda considering that "You should never modify something you are iterating over."
But I sadly also don't see how this could be done with any operation that is applied on the whole dataframe at once.
Edit: I've found a very rough way to do it using a while loop. In every iteration it only adds the next row to those rows that already have no row of the same type with a time stamp less than 1 before it:
df['nexttime']= df['time'].shift(-1)
df['nexttype']= df['type'].shift(-1)
df['lasttime']= df['time'].shift(1)
df['lasttype']= df['type'].shift(1)
df['nextvalue'] = df['value'].shift(-1)

while df.loc[(df.type == df.nexttype) & ((df.time - df.lasttime >1) | (df.type != df.lasttype)) &  (df.time - df.nexttime <=1 ),'value'].any():
    df.loc[(df.type == df.nexttype) & ((df.time - df.lasttime >1 ) | (df.type != df.lasttype)) &  (df.time - df.nexttime <=1  ),'value'] = df.loc[(df.type == df.nexttype) & ((df.time - df.lasttime >1 ) | (df.type != df.lasttype)) &  (df.time - df.nexttime <=1  ),'value'] + df.loc[(df.type == df.nexttype) & ((df.time - df.lasttime >1 ) | (df.type != df.lasttype)) &  (df.time - df.nexttime <=1  ),'nextvalue']
    df = df.loc[~((df.shift(1).type == df.shift(1).nexttype) & ((df.shift(1).time - df.shift(1).lasttime >1 ) | (df.shift(1).type != df.shift(1).lasttype)) &  (df.shift(1).time - df.shift(1).nexttime <=1  ))]
    df['nexttime']= df['time'].shift(-1)
    df['nexttype']= df['type'].shift(-1)
    df['lasttime']= df['time'].shift(1)
    df['lasttype']= df['type'].shift(1)
    df['nextvalue'] = df['value'].shift(-1)

I would still be very interested if there is any faster way to do this, as this kind of loop obviously is not very efficient (especially since for the kind of dataframes I work with it has to iterate a few ten thousand times).

Kirrily Dear to open The Steps Together Ultra Marathon film at Nelson Bay Cinemas and to talk at Tomaree High School
Ultra marathon runner Kirrily Dear covered 1300 kilometres in 2017 to bring awareness to domestic and family violence.
Anti-domestic violence campaigner Kirrily Dear will stride into Nelson Bay this weekend where she expects to find a groundswell of support.
Ms Dear made national headlines with her run from Broken Hill to Sydney – a trip of 1300 kilometres – in 19 days.
Women around the country, including a team of 10 from Port Stephens, undertook a virtual race against the marathon runner.
A film made to commemorate Ms Dear's journey will be shown on Saturday night at Nelson Bay Cinemas.
"I've followed the film around and what's inspiring is to see people leave the cinemas inspired, not only to take steps against domestic and family violence but to generally feel empowered," she said.
"One person can create change – the film talks about this – how it all starts with a conversation."
The film follows Ms Dear from the vast, quiet scenery back to the noise and congestion of Sydney, making it a film packed with contrasts.
Ms Dear said she especially looked forward to catching up with the Port Stephens women who did the virtual run.
"Travelling around the country I've been meeting these women that were merely icons on a map who were racing me," she said.
"Showing this film I've been able to meet a lot of them. The Port Stephens community has already done a lot but I hope this film and my visit motivates them to do more."
Ms Dear will arrive on Friday when she will deliver a presentation to Tomaree High School students.
On Saturday morning she will join with the Reclaim the Run supporters to take over Fingal ParkRun.
The 25-minute screening of The Steps Together Ultra Marathon will conclude her weekend in Port Stephens.
It has been estimated that 935,600 Australian women and 824,300 men had their first experience of physical abuse before the age of 15, with a parent reported as the largest proportion of perpetrators, according to an Australian Human Rights Commission report in 2015.
Tickets to the film cost $20 with proceeds to RAV and the Yacaaba Centre. The screening will start at 6pm.

29 IFEX members call on the Prime Minister of Tonga to cease threats of suspension of journalist Viola Ulakai and respect his past commitment to press freedom as a world renowned pro-democracy advocate.
The undersigned members of IFEX, the global network working to promote and defend freedom of expression worldwide, have observed with concern the recent events in which Ms. Viola Ulakai, Head of Programme and News at the publicly-owned Tonga Broadcasting Commission (TBC), has been targeted and harassed by the Government for what the Pacific Islands News Association sees as performing her journalistic duty to ask hard questions of the government regarding a matter of national interest.
The harassment that Ms. Ulakai has faced stems from her attempts to obtain information regarding a controversial reform proposal at the Ministry of Education. Ms. Ulakai had tried on a number of occasions to arrange a press conference that would give the media the opportunity to press the government on this initiative – to no avail. In what appears to be a direct result of her repeated attempts, the Prime Minister's Office accused her of "being too insistent" and acting against the interests of the Tonga Broadcasting Commission, ordering the suspension of Ms. Ulakai pending further investigation.
Ms. Ulakai is a highly respected media personality not only in Tonga, but also in the Pacific region and internationally. To accuse her of acting in her personal interest while reporting on an issue of public interest appears to be a thinly veiled attempt to suppress an uncomfortable story for the government. We'd like to remind the Government that asking difficult questions is how the media provides the public with critical information on issues of national concern, which in turn fosters a healthy debate that produces policies responsive to public needs.
As a globally recognised pro-democracy advocate who was once imprisoned for standing up for press freedom, we appeal to you to adhere to the principles of good governance, transparency and the rule of law by allowing the media in Tonga to report free of interference and to be forthcoming in response to legitimate questions concerning the activities of a government ministry.
Furthermore, we urge the Government to work with and through the Tonga Media Council, a cross-section of Tongan media representatives, to sort this and similar matters out instead of resorting to punitive measures. Such a step would serve to foster dialogue and improve relations between the government and media, in the spirit of the traditional Pacific Islands values of mutual respect for the attainment of peace and harmony.
"In 2012, the government granted a broadcast license to a new community radio station that focuses on women's issues"

Comrades and Friends,
In this golden season of autumn, we are gathered here to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. For the Chinese people of all ethnic groups and Chinese sons and daughters at home and abroad, this is a joyful moment – a moment to celebrate the 70th birthday of our great People's Republic and to salute the epic progress of our motherland during the past seven decades.
Over the past 70 years, under the strong leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the Chinese people, with great courage and relentless exploration, have successfully opened the path of socialism with Chinese characteristics. Along this path, we have ushered in a new era. Having caught up with the world in great strides, we are now marching forward at the forefront of the times with boundless energy!
Over the past 70 years, the Chinese people, with perseverance and strenuous efforts, have made development achievements that are the marvel of the world. Absolute poverty, which has haunted the Chinese nation for thousands of years, will soon become a thing of the past. This will be a great miracle in human history!
Over the past 70 years, the Chinese people, upholding an independent foreign policy of peace, have forged ahead along the path of peaceful development. Guided by the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, we have deepened friendship and cooperation with other countries and made an important contribution to building a community with a shared future for mankind and advancing the noble cause of peace and development for humanity!
Seventy years are but a fleeting moment in human history. But for the Chinese people, for our nation, these have been 70 years of epoch-making changes. The Chinese nation has realized a tremendous transformation: it has stood up, grown rich and is becoming stronger; it has come to embrace the brilliant prospects of national renewal. This phenomenal transformation brings infinite pride to every son and daughter of the Chinese nation!
Here on behalf of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, I pay high tribute to the Chinese people of all ethnic groups and all CPC members, to officers and men of the People's Liberation Army and members of the armed police, and to all the other political parties and personages with no party affiliations in China! I wish to convey sincere greetings to fellow Chinese in the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, in Taiwan and residing abroad! I also wish to express heartfelt thanks to all the countries and international friends who have given support and help to the development of New China!
Comrades and Friends!
Unity is iron and steel; unity is a source of strength. It is what has enabled the Chinese people and the Chinese nation to move forward against all risks and challenges, from one victory to another.
In our new journey, we must hold high the banner of unity and rally closely around the CPC Central Committee. We must cement the great unity of all our ethnic groups, and strengthen the great unity of all Chinese sons and daughters at home and abroad and of all political parties, organizations, ethnic groups, social strata and fronts. We must maintain the close bond between the CPC and the people and promote patriotism. Thus we will create an unparalleled force that will power the ship of our national renewal to clip waves and reach its destination.
We will continue to fully and faithfully implement the principles of "One Country, Two Systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong", "Macao people administering Macao" and a high degree of autonomy. We will act in strict accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Laws. We are confident that with the full backing of the motherland and the concerted efforts of our fellow Chinese in Hong Kong and Macao who love the motherland as well as their communities, Hong Kong and Macao will prosper and progress alongside the mainland and embrace an even brighter future!
We will uphold the one-China principle and the "1992 Consensus", promote the peaceful development of relations across the Taiwan Strait, and deepen cross-Strait economic and cultural exchanges and cooperation to the benefit of people on both sides. The complete reunification of the motherland is an inevitable trend; it is what the greater national interests entail and what all Chinese people aspire for. No one and no force can ever stop it!
We will hold high the banner of peace, development, cooperation and mutual benefit, and keep firmly to the path of peaceful development. We will stay committed to opening-up and work with people in all countries to build a community with a shared future for mankind, and to create a world bathed in peace and development.
The Chinese people are great people, the Chinese nation is a great nation, and Chinese civilization is a great civilization. History will shed light on the future, and our journey ahead will be a long one. We are convinced that the Chinese people and the Chinese nation, with a proud civilization spanning over five millennia and great accomplishments during the past 70-year history of New China, will write a more brilliant chapter in our new journey toward the realization of the Two Centenary Goals and the Chinese Dream of great national renewal.
Now please join me in a toast:
To the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China;
To the prosperity and strength of China and the happiness and well-being of the Chinese people of all ethnic groups;
To the friendship and cooperation between the people of China and all other countries; and
To the health of all the guests, comrades and friends present.

10 Famous Literary Characters That Are Significantly Younger Than You Think
By Emily Temple
When an author creates a character, he or she bestows upon this fictional person specific attributes — age, looks, certain proclivities — that may or may not be made explicit on the page. But whether the character is explained fully or not, there's no telling what will happen when the culture at large gets a hold of him. Especially if the notoriously age-garbling film industry gets involved. After the jump, prepare to be shocked at famous literary characters that are significantly younger than you (probably) think they are.
Holly Golightly: 18
For those only aware of Holly Golightly in her now-iconic Audrey Hepburn incarnation, it might be a surprise to learn that the novella places her in her late teens (Hepburn was 31 when the movie was filmed). Truman Capote was, of course, famously less than thrilled with the casting — but then, he wanted Marilyn Monroe, who was even older. But blonde, boys, blonde.
Scarlett O'Hara: 16
At the start of the novel (and the start of the Civil War), our "not beautiful, but" heroine is a mere 16 years old — the same age at which she first marries, has a child, and becomes a widow. By the end of the novel, she's 28, and has, as particularly vibrant literary characters are wont to do, already lived several lifetimes' worth of drama.
Miss Havisham: 37 to early 50s
Every time a film adaptation of Great Expectations comes up, so does the question of Miss Havisham's age. Traditionally, she's portrayed as a withered crone — and not without support from the novel, in which Pip describes her as a "skeleton" and a "waxwork." But depending on how you do the math, her actual age adds up to anywhere between 37 and early 50s. After all, the events of the novel take place 25 years after she is left at the altar, and people were married pretty early in those days. Prematurely aged by despair? Indeed. An old lady? Not really.
Tintin: 17
"When I thought about him for the first time," Hergé said of his most famous everyman in an incredibly adorable interview with a French child, "I think that he was about 14 or 15 years old. But now, let's say that he's 17. Here it is. So he got three years older in 50 years, that's a good deal!" That is a very good deal, and as Hergé's interviewer points out, Tintin is mighty mature for his age — how does he know how to fly all those planes? Just a quick learner, as it turns out.
Humbert Humbert: 36
Dear old Hum is the cultural epitome of the dirty old man — but he's actually not that old. He's only 36, though his age has been muddled by Kubrick's iconic film, where he is portrayed by a 53-year-old James Mason (and Sue Lyon's Lolita is 14). Now of course, mid-30s is still not young enough to be courting a 12-year-old, but his intended youth makes his obsession seem even more tragic.
Arya Stark and Sansa Stark: 9 and 13
At the start of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series, the Stark girls are mere babies. Now just think about all the crap that happens to them.
Jay Gatsby: 32
If, like most people, you read The Great Gatsby in high school, everyone in it probably seemed impossibly grown up, Actual Adults if insufferably fancy ones. Turns out that they're pretty young to be that rich, something that, as Flavorwire film editor Jason Bailey realized, rather sticks out to anyone reading the book as a semi-grown person. At least all the angst makes sense, though.
Sherlock Holmes: 27
Literature's most famous detective is almost always portrayed, in his many, many incarnations, by a middle-aged man. Now, this isn't strictly wrong — Holmes ages as his stories go on — but after a bit of math ("His Last Bow" specifies that Holmes is 60 in 1914) it's clear that in his first adventure, "A Study in Scarlet," he's a mere 27. This makes him almost a decade younger than Benedict Cumberbatch, who is surely one of the youngest actors to play the role, and much younger than his character in the cultural consciousness.
Scout Finch: 5
When the novel begins, Scout describes herself as "almost six," and by the end she's about eight, a tiny number that's easy to forget because of the adult vantage point of her narration. She's one tough kid.
Juliet: 13
Well this one totally makes sense — after all, when else than your early teens are you crazy enough to (literally) kill yourself over a boy that you've known for all of five minutes? That said, she's almost always portrayed as at least 16. Also a crazy time for most humans.

Eddie Murphy Is Going to Be a Dad for the 10th Time
The actor is expecting his second child with girlfriend Paige Butcher
By Samantha Schnurr
Published Aug 28, 2018 at 5:14 PM | Updated at 7:50 PM CDT on Aug 28, 2018
Andy Kropa /Invision/AP
In this Sunday, Feb. 15, 2015 file photo, Paige Butcher, left, and Eddie Murphy attend the SNL 40th Anniversary Special at Rockefeller Plaza in New York. The couple is expecting their second child together.
Eddie Murphy, the 57-year-old actor, is going to be a dad times 10 this year as his girlfriend Paige Butcher is expecting their second child together.
"Eddie Murphy and longtime girlfriend Paige Butcher are pleased to announce that they are expecting their second child in December," a rep for Murphy confirmed in a statement to People.
The announcement comes on the heels of recent sightings of Butcher with a visible baby bump. In 2016, the longtime couple welcomed their first child together, daughter Izzy Oona Murphy. She was also the first child for Butcher.
Murphy is no stranger to fatherhood. He is a dad to five kids with his ex-wife, Nicole Mitchell Murphy. They share four daughters--Bria, 28, Shayne, 23, Zola, 18, Bella, 16--and son Miles, 25.
Russell Brand Dishes How Eddie Murphy Has Influenced him as a Comic
Russell Brand explains how Murphy has influenced his career while attending Spike TV's "Eddie Murphy: One Night Only" event.
Hollywood's Hottest Dads
The Oscar nominee also shares son Eric, 29, with Paulette McNeely and son Christian, 27, with Tamara Hood. In 2007, former Spice Girl Melanie "Mel B" Brown gave birth to their daughter, Angel, 11.
While Murphy and Butcher have been dating for years, the Coming to America star and model have managed to keep their life together mostly private save for the occasional joint red carpet appearance. That's partly due to the fact that both of them stay off of social media.
Mario Lopez Joining 'Access Hollywood' as Co-Host
"I'm in a relationship with a celebrity, so I felt like there's already enough of me out there," Butcher told Vanity Fair in 2013. "I felt like I was giving out too much information. I was giving people too much access. I like to keep as much private as possible now."

BRANDYWELL Harps will be hoping to keep alive their challenge for the Premier Division title this Sunday and would receive a significant boost should they defeat league leaders Park Bar at St Columb's Park.
Harps currently sit six points behind Park and victory over their old rivals would bring them right back into the mix in the title race.
Elsewhere in the division, reigning champions, Top of the Hill Celtic are five points adrift of the leaders and they will be targeting a win over Phoenix on Sunday so they can be in a position to take advantage of any slip-ups from Park Bar.
Lisahally will be seeking their first league win since September when they take on Culmore while Don Bosco's are hoping for back-to-back wins when they meet Oxford.
Fixtures - Brandywell Harps v Park Bar (St Columb's Park); Top of the Hill Celtic v Phoenix (Lisnagelvin 2); Don Bosco's v Oxford; Lisahally v Culmore (Strathfoyle); Don Bosco's v Oxford (Prehen 3). All games kick-off at 11.30 a.m.
Harps currently sit six points behind their opponents at the top so a win would keep them in the title race and manager, Liam Deery has a young squad of players who are improving with every game.
Park Bar hold a one point lead at the top but have two games in hand over Trojans in second place. Colm Cassidy has transferred Paul Smith from Trojans and he could be a key player on Sunday.
Celtic, the current champions, know they simply have to win this game to stay on the heels of the leaders.
They are five points off the top spot. Last time out they were minus quite a few regulars and as a result slipped up.
Phoenix still have hopes of making the top six at the cut off point but need to win on Sunday.
Last week, despite losing out to Trojans, Christy McGeehan's side did put up a great performance.
Lisahally now sit at the bottom of the table after a dismal run that has not seen them win since September. Spike Doherty still seems to be having problems getting a full strength side on the pitch but this clash gives them the chance of picking up a much needed win. Culmore have improved in the last couple of weeks and a win here would see them stay in the hunt of a top six position at the cut-off point in a couple of weeks time.
Bosco's have moved off the bottom with a win last Sunday and a win here could see them rise up to sixth place in the table.Once again in that game they missed a host of fine chances and should have won more comfortably.
Oxford had a great win over Tristar last Sunday but were stunned after it when long serving manager Paul Roddy called it a day. They have a chance to gain revenge on Bosco's who put them out of the Terry Kelly Cup final on a protest. Oxford to win.

Week in Geek #77: Carmine Falcone, Jormungard, JSA and More
Posted by Anthony Mango Saturday, November 23, 2019
John Turturro Cast as Carmine Falcone
Add another villain to the next Batman film as Carmine Falcone will be played by John Turturro.
I don't know about this. Turturro is great in certain roles, but he also likes to play very silly. I don't want a silly Falcone, if they go that route. I also just don't picture him being intimidating in the way that I think Falcone should be. For that matter, I didn't think Tom Wilkinson's version was the right call, either. The dude from Gotham...I'm blanking on the name...he was intimidating and I bought him as a mob boss.
Jormungard
In a previous version of Avengers: Infinity War, Thor would have had to retrieve Stormbreaker from inside Jormungand, the Midgard Serpent. It seems like in this version, Jormungard would have been the name of a planet and Thor, Groot and Rocket would have fought the "World Serpent" there, rather than doing the whole Ragnarok thing. Since, you know, Ragnarok was already adapted in a different form, this would have been a weird way to do it and an odd means for him to get Stormbreaker. I think the version in the film works better and they can save the Midgard Serpent for a future Thor film, like Love and Thunder.
JSA Coming to Black Adam Film
Apparently, the Justice Society of America will feature in some capacity in the Black Adam film.
More and more, I think this is a bad idea. I don't think Black Adam should get his own film to begin with and I've never liked the JSA. Some of the characters inside that group are okay, but the overall "old timey Justice League" thing doesn't do it for me, and if Black Adam is just fighting Hawkman and whatnot, I don't really care to see it.
Tim Miller Doesn't Want to Work with James Cameron Again After Terminator: Dark Fate
LOL! Funny enough, leading up to the movie, it's nothing but talk about how great this movie is and how this is the right direction for the franchise and all that nonsense babble bullshit that we heard with every other film so far after T2. Then, the movie flops, people hate it (or, at best, say "it's not as bad as T3 and Genisys") and lo and behold, now, Tim Miller doesn't want to ever work with James Cameron again because they butted heads throughout the filmmaking process.
I'd be very, very curious what arguments those two had. Which one of the two made some of the stupid mistakes that happened throughout this crappy thing?


He's talking about AD&D, Megabot...Forgotten Realms.
Dumathion is the Master of Secrets under the Mountain...Mines and Miners. I'm not sure what you mean by "spheres"; are you talking about special powers or spheres of influence?

Evolution's Flawed Approach to Science
by Fazale Rana
One of the things I find most troubling about the evolutionary paradigm is the view it fosters about the nature of biological systems—including human beings.
Evolution's mechanisms, it is said, generate biological innovations by co-opting existing designs and cobbling them together to create new ones. As a result, many people in the scientific community regard biological systems as fundamentally flawed.
As biologist Ken Miller explains in an article for Technology Review:
"Evolution . . . does not produce perfection. The fact that every intermediate stage in the development of an organ must confer a selective advantage means that the simplest and most elegant design for an organ cannot always be produced by evolution. In fact, the hallmark of evolution is the modification of pre-existing structures. An evolved organism, in short, should show the tell-tale signs of this modification.1″
So, instead of regarding humans as "fearfully and wonderfully made" (as Scripture teaches), the evolutionary paradigm denigrates human beings, as a logical entailment of its mechanisms. It renders human beings as nothing more than creatures that have been cobbled together by evolutionary mechanisms.
Adding to this concern is the impact that the evolutionary paradigm has on scientific advance. Because many in the scientific community view biological systems as fundamentally flawed, they are predisposed to conclude—oftentimes, prematurely—that biological systems lack function or purpose when initial investigations into these systems fail to uncover any obvious rationale for why these systems are the way they are. And, once these investigators conclude that a biological system is flawed, the motivation to continue studying the system dissipates. Why try to understand a flawed design? Why focus attention on biological systems that lack function? Why invest research dollars studying systems that serve no purpose?
I would contend that viewing biological systems as the Creator's handiwork provides a superior framework for promoting scientific advance, particularly when the rationale for the structure and function of a particular biological system is not apparent. If biological systems have been created, then there must be good reasons why these systems are structured and function the way they do. And this expectation drives further study of seemingly nonfunctional, purposeless systems with the full anticipation that their functional roles will eventually be uncovered.
Recent history validates the creation model approach. During the course of the last couple of decades, the scientific community has made discovery after discovery demonstrating (1) function for biological systems long thought to be useless evolutionary vestiges, or (2) an ingenious rationale for the architecture and operation of systems long regarded as flawed designs. (For examples, see the articles listed in the Resources section.)
These discoveries were made not because of the evolutionary paradigm but in spite of it.
So often, creationists and intelligent design proponents are accused of standing in the way of scientific advance. Skeptics of creation claim that if we conclude that God created biological systems, then science grinds to a halt. If God made it, then why continue to investigate the system in question?
But, I would assert that the opposite is true. The evolutionary paradigm stultifies science by viewing biological systems as flawed and vestigial. Yet, for the biological systems discussed in the articles listed in the Resources section, the view spawned by the evolutionary paradigm delayed important advances that could have been leveraged for biomedical purposes sooner, alleviating a lot of pain and suffering.
Because a creation model perspective regards designs in nature as part of God's handiwork, it provides the motivation to keep pressing forward, seeking a rationale for systems that seemingly lack purpose. In the handful of instances in which the scientific community has adopted this mindset, it has been rewarded, paving the way for new scientific insight that leads to biomedical breakthroughs.

How do segregated funds differ from mutual funds?
Mutual funds are investment vehicles that many investors have embraced as a simple and relatively inexpensive method for investing in a variety of assets. Segregated funds are similar to mutual funds, but they possess some key differences.
On the surface, both investment vehicles represent a collective pool of funds that investors pays into. Another party makes the decisions regarding asset allocation and other investment-related choices. Furthermore, all financial assets within each fund are still owned by the organization that is managing the pool of investments, while investors own an interest of the assets.
However, this is more or less where the similarities end. Segregated funds are considered to be insurance products sold by insurance companies and, as a result, the governing bodies and regulations responsible for overseeing segregated funds are usually the same ones that cover insurance companies.
Another fundamental difference between segregated funds and mutual funds is that segregated funds generally offer a degree of protection against investment losses. For example, most segregated funds will guarantee around 75-100% of premiums paid (minus management and other related costs) in the event of maturity or the policy holder's death. This differs from mutual funds because in the unlikely event that all of the underlying stocks that make up a mutual fund become worthless, investors stand to lose all of their invested assets.
Segregated funds also have some other benefits relating to the death benefit portion of their policies. Beneficiaries of the policy will usually directly receive the greater of the guarantee death benefit or the market value of the fundholder's share. With a mutual fund, on the other hand, the market value of the asset is subjected to the same estate-related processes that other assets go through, which means it may take some time before any parties receive a payout.
In spite of their advantages, segregated funds are not without drawbacks. Due to all the extra bells and whistles that segregated funds offer, fees tend to be higher (on average) than mutual funds. Also, due to the guarantee against losses, segregated funds tend to be more restrictive about their choices for investments, leading to more modest returns.


Sunlight, exposed skin, and time are needed for a sunburn. Sunlight consists of infrared, visible and ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light, which consists of UVA, UVB and UVC rays, causes skin to burn. UVA rays cause tanning and wrinkling, while UVB rays cause sunburn, aging, wrinkling, and skin cancer. UVC rays do not cause any health effects because they do not reach the earth's surface (1). Despite these hazards, sun exposure has benefits. UV radiation helps make vitamin D, a key factor for calcium absorption. However, travelers should be aware of the risks of overexposure to harmful UV rays.
Exposure to sunlight is influenced by geography, climate, and time of day and year. Countries near the equator and areas at higher elevation receive more UV rays. Sunlight exposure is highest during the summer and between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Outdoor activities, whether snow skiing or spending the day at the beach, increase the chances of getting sunburned. Snow and light-colored sand reflect UV light and increase sunburn risk. In these situations, UV rays may reach exposed skin from both above and below. Even on cloudy days, UV radiation reaches the earth.
Many drugs increase sensitivity to sunlight and the risk of getting sunburn. Some common ones include thiazides, diuretics, tetracycline, doxycycline, sulfa antibiotics, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen.
Unlike a thermal burn, sunburn is not immediately apparent. Symptoms usually start about 4 hours after sun exposure, worsen in 24-36 hours, and resolve in 3-5 days. In mild sunburn, the skin becomes red, warm, and tender. More serious burns are painful, and the skin becomes swollen and may blister. When a large area is burned, headache, fever, nausea, and fatigue may develop. The pain from sunburn is worse 6-48 hours after sun exposure. Skin peeling usually begins 3-8 days after exposure. Severe sunburns can be serious in babies, small children, and older adults. Years of overexposure to the sun lead to premature wrinkling, aging of the skin, age spots, and increase in the risk of skin cancer.
In addition to the skin, eyes can get burned from sun exposure. Sunburned eyes become red, dry, and painful, and feel gritty. Chronic exposure to sunlight may cause pterygium (tissue growth that leads to blindness), cataracts, and perhaps macular degeneration, a leading cause of blindness.
Several steps can be taken to reduce the risk for sunburn. Dermatologists recommend using a full-spectrum sunscreen that absorbs UV rays or a sun block that deflects all UV rays (2). Sunscreens are available in creams, gels, lotions, and wax sticks. While the type of sunscreen is a matter of personal choice, travelers may want to choose a water-resistant product that will not be easily removed by sweating or swimming. There are no waterproof sunscreens. Sunscreens should be used regularly, even on cloudy days, because most of the UV rays pass through the clouds. Sunscreens can be applied under makeup. Although some cosmetic products contain sunscreens, their sun protection factor (SPF) is usually not high enough to be very protective. While sunscreens absorb UV radiation, chemical sun blocks scatter, reflect, and physically block UV radiation. The most well-known chemical sun block is zinc oxide. Other commonly used sun blocks are talc or titanium dioxide.
Effective sunscreens should have an SPF of at least 15. SPF refers to the amount of time that persons will be protected from a burn. An SPF of 15 will allow a person to stay out in the sun 15 times longer than they normally would be able to stay without burning. The SPF rating applies to skin reddening and protection against UVB exposure. SPF does not refer to protection against UVA, which causes the skin to age. Products containing Mexoryl, Parsol 1789, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone block UVA rays.
While the SPF represents the UVB protection under the best conditions, sunscreen performance is affected by wind, humidity, perspiration, and proper application. Sunscreens also lose their potency in 1-2 years. Sunscreens should be liberally applied (at least 1 ounce) ≥20 minutes before sun exposure. Special attention should be given to covering the ears, scalp, lips, neck, tops of feet, and backs of hands. Sunscreens should be reapplied at least every 2 hours and each time a person gets out of the water or perspires heavily. Some sunscreens may also lose efficacy when applied with insect repellents, necessitating more frequent application when the two products are used together.
Another effective way to prevent sunburn is by wearing appropriate clothing. Dark clothing with a tight weave is more protective than light-colored, loosely woven clothing. High-SPF clothing has been developed to provide more protection for those with photosensitive skin or a history of skin cancer (3). This type of clothing contains colorless compounds, fluorescent brighteners, or specially treated resins that absorb UV and often provides an SPF of 30 or higher. Travelers should also wear wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses with almost 100% UV protection and with side panels to prevent excessive sun exposure to the eyes.
The UV index, which indicates how much ultraviolet light exposure will occur, can be found in the weather section of most large daily newspapers, in some television weather forecasts, and on the Internet. The UV index ranges from 1 (low) to 11 or higher (extremely high). Travelers are advised to take extra precautions to prevent sunburn when the UV index is high.
There is no quick cure for minor sunburn. Symptomatic treatment can be initiated with aspirin, acetaminophen, or ibuprofen to relieve pain and headache and reduce fever. (Children and teenagers should generally not be given aspirin because of the danger of Reye syndrome.) Drinking plenty of water helps to replace fluid losses. Cool baths or the gentle application of cool wet cloths on the burned area may also provide some comfort. Travelers with sunburns should avoid further exposure until the burn has resolved. Additional symptomatic relief can be achieved through the application of a topical moisturizing cream, aloe, or 1% hydrocortisone cream. A low-dose (0.5%-1%) hydrocortisone cream, which is sold over the counter, can be helpful in reducing the burning sensation and swelling and speeding up healing (4).
If blistering occurs, lightly bandage or cover the area with gauze to prevent infection. The blisters should not be broken, as this will slow the healing process and increase the risk of infection. When the blisters break and the skin peels, dried fragments may be removed and an antiseptic ointment or hydrocortisone cream may be applied.
Indications for medical attention include severe sunburns covering more than 15% of the body, dehydration, high fever (>101(F), or extreme pain that persists for longer than 48 hours.

Heat stress is a buildup of body heat generated either internally by muscle use or externally by the environment. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke result when the body is overwhelmed by heat . As the heat increases, body temperature and the heart rate rise painlessly. An increase in body temperature of two degrees Fahrenheit can affect mental functioning. A five degree Fahrenheit increase can result in serious illness or death. During hot weather, heat illness may be an underlying cause of other types of injuries, such as heart attacks, falls and equipment accidents. More Worker's Compensation claims for heat illness come from agricultural workers than from any other occupation.
The most serious heat related illness is heat stroke. The symptoms are confusion, irrational behavior, convulsions, coma, and death. While over 20% of heat stroke victims die regardless of health or age, children seem to be more susceptible to heat strain than adults. In some cases, the side effects of heat stroke are heat sensitivity and varying degrees of brain and kidney damage.
Protect Health - Heat illness is preventable and treatable before it is life threatening.
Improve Safety - Any heat stress can impair functioning.
Increase Productivity - People work slower and less efficiently when they are suffering from heat stress.
Employers, supervisors and workers all have an essential role to play in preventing heat stress. Each member of the team should use good judgment to prevent heat related illness. A heat stress control program should protect all workers at the operation, from those who can work comfortably in heat to those in poor physical shape.
Drink one glass of water every 15 to 30 minutes worked, depending on the heat and humidity. This is the best way to replace lost body fluid.
Read medication labels to know how cause the body to react to the sun and heat.
Avoid alcohol and drugs as they can increase the effects of heat.
Build up tolerance for working in the heat. Heat tolerance is normally built up over a one to two week time period.
Take breaks to cool down. A 10 - 15 minute break every two hours is effective.
Adapt work and pace to the weather.
Provide heat stress training to workers and supervisors.
Manage work activities and match them to employees' physical condition.
Use special protective gear, such as cooling garments and cooling vests on "early entry" workers.
Know heat stress first aid techniques.
Move the victim to a cool place. Remove heavy clothing; light clothing can be left in place.
Immediately cool the victim by any available means. Such as placing ice packs at areas with abundant blood supply (neck, armpits, and groin). Wet towels or sheets are also effective. The cloths should be kept wet with cool water.
To prevent hypothermia continue cooling the victim until their temperature drops to 102 degrees Fahrenheit.
Keep the victim's head and shoulders slightly elevated.
Seek medical attention immediately. All heat stroke victims need hospitalization.
Care for seizures if they occur.
Do not use aspirin or acetaminophen.
Keep the victim lying down with legs straight and elevated 8-12 inches.
Cool the victim by applying cold packs or wet towels or cloths. Fan the victim.
Give the victim cold water if he or she is fully conscious.
If no improvement is noted within 30 minutes, seek medical attention.
When possible, schedule heavy tasks and work requiring protective gear for cooler, morning or evening hours. Prolonged, extreme hot temperatures mandate the postponement of nonessential tasks.
Most protective garments limit sweat evaporation (but not sweat production) and chemical-resistant suits can cause rapid dehydration if sweat is not replaced. One way to slow the buildup of heat when wearing PPE is to use special cooling garments.
If the temperature is above 70 degrees Fahrenheit: Cooling vests may be useful when pesticide handlers are wearing chemical-resistant suits and are either doing heavy or moderate work for a prolonged period.
If the temperature is above 80 degrees Fahrenheit: Working in chemical-resistant suits for more than a half hour without taking frequent water and rest breaks is unsafe. Cooling garments and frequent breaks are recommended.
Powered air-purifying respirators and supplied-air respirators generally feel cooler than other types of respirators because breathing resistance is minimized and the airstream has a cooling effect.
Heat stress is serious and should be handled as such.
As strain from heat increases, body temperature and heart rate can rise rapidly.
Exposure to heat can be serious to children and adults.
Have plenty of liquids available and administer first aid as needed.
1. The illness caused by heat stress is very real.
2. Heat stress may result from the buildup of muscle generated heat in the body.
3. Exposure to heat stress is not a problem with children.
4. The most serious heat related illness is heat stroke.
5. Over 20% of those who suffer a heat stroke die.


If you are using a polyclonal antibody against Group A Streptococcus bacteria, now you can switch to the excellent rabbit monoclonal antibody from Medix Biochemica. This rabbit monoclonal antibody recognizes the Lancefield A carbohydrate which is the most common antigen in GAS bacteria and the most popular target of rapid tests.
The advantage of the MedixMAB Strep A antibody is the high specificity as it does not cross-react with other Streptococcus groups. Strep A bacteria (Streptococcus pyogenes) is the most common cause of pharyngitis. The new MedixMAB Strep A antibody pairs in lateral flow and ELISA with itself.
Samples of the rabbit Strep A antibody are now available upon request.


There's no question that Canada is doing its best to adapt to recent disruptive advances impacting its workforce, but it still faces a widening skills gap and an aging population. New technologies, including AI and robotics, are pushing new innovations that simplify processes. These new technologies affect not only the skills needed for our future workforce but also the systems in place to identify, train and connect companies and opportunities to them.
While not as quickly as some would like, progress is being made. Fortunately, new technologies and partners are also being created to address the need to improve Canada's labour market systems. And, non-traditional approaches and partnerships are also a factor. Ryerson University's Magnet, for example, was developed as a social innovation technology platform that connects employers and job seekers based on skills, preferences, and needs. Its real-time labour market intelligence capabilities are also contributing to evidence-based information being used to predict skills needs and shortages. Magnet's collaborative network of post-secondary institutions, not-for-profits, governments, labour, and industry associations and community partners are working together on one common platform toward two goals: connecting people to opportunities and helping regions and communities collaborate and work more productively.
Consider the ways in which technology is already changing our communities.
Artificial intelligence is beginning to change what the future might look like in education.
Tech is affecting every aspect of our lives – from catching a taxi to the way we care for elderly people.
How is this being tackled? It is critical that training, development, and research keep up with the pace of technology. We need to have qualified workers who can meet new demands.
Take, for example, one of Ryerson University's partner, Age-Well. The organization is innovating care for seniors, such as working with partners to develop beds that monitor patients' health and telerobotic rehab programs. But having the tech is one thing – ensuring workers know how to use it is another, particularly if the technology becomes widely adopted. As such, skills training is key – Age-Well also focuses on training and mentoring students or new professionals to support a new generation which has emerging insights from technology and aging.
This is just one example of how tech is changing our workforce and the training required to meet this challenge.
More research is needed to identify the skills Canada's future workforces will need so that we can collaborate and keep on pace with changes in tech.
Collaboration across the country and across sectors is necessary for organizations to be ready for future needs. Organizations like Magnet are already doing this. But, an inclusive workplace is also essential to innovation and improving Canada's prosperity.
Diversity has long been one of Canada's economic strengths; we need to leverage the talent we already have within our country, including amongst newcomers, those with disabilities, and other underrepresented communities. In partnership with Ryerson University and Magnet, the Diversity Institute holds much of this expert knowledge. The Diversity Institute offers deep knowledge of economic and technology trends, gender and diversity analysis, rigorous mixed methods research and evaluation coupled with extensive experience with the full range of skills and training needs – from essential skills through advanced technology skills.
Many systemic barriers prevent effectively leveraging Canada's wealth of diverse talent and creating the 'future workforce' that disruption and the resulting skills shortage is demanding. There is ample evidence, much of which has been produced by the Diversity Institute or other leading centres at Ryerson University, that traditional approaches and conventional structures for training and skills development are not keeping pace with change.
The issues around the future needs of Canada's changing workforce are complex, but with collaboration, innovation, forward-thinking and strong research, we will be able to make sure Canada's workforce is ready for a prosperous future, one which includes all Canadians.

As beachfront and offshore water temperatures continue to increase, the fishing has gotten only better. With the increasing water temperatures, schools of baitfish such as menhaden (pogies) and glass minnows have started to populate the nearshore waters. Along with the schools of baitfish come larger predatory fish such as Spanish mackerel, cobia and even a few king mackerel feeding on the bait pods. This feeding frenzy typically attracts larger fish from each species as well. This action should continue throughout the end of May.

Pattern Description: Girl's Fairy Costume consists of a sleeveless dress with a-line skirt, overskirt, and various embellishments. DD wanted the overskirt from view A (2-layer tulle skirt filled with flowers) and all the flower embellishments from all the views. I did not make any head ornaments or the wings.
Based on her measurements, I made DD a size M(5/6) which I expected to be a little big. It was a little big.
Yes, but the overskirt instructions were stupid.
LIKE: It's easy to sew.
LIKE: The dress is nice. You could use it to make plain dresses for your girl.
DISLIKE: The overskirt was a tie-on affair which I modified to an elastic waist.
A polyester "dupioni" for the dress. Nylon netting for the overskirt.
On the dress, I left off the facings. It's a costume. I did a rolled hem on the neckline and armholes. I should have done that on the skirt, too.
The pattern for the overskirt had you cut rectangles for the front and back (2) and sew them back together. I thought that was stupid, so I just cut the skirt to the right length and used the width of the netting (72 inches). Instead of ties on the skirt, I made a waistband out of the dress material and used elastic.
I might sew the dress again as a general purpose dress for DD.
However, I would not sew the overskirt again. DD didn't like the overskirt. We're going to sew the flowers to the dress. Plus, the nylon netting was not strong enough. It ripped the first time she wore it and was destroyed by the end of trick-or-treating. All she was doing was walking.
The dress part of this pattern is really nice, but you really don't need the pattern. Just use the picture to create the embellishments with a dress pattern that you already have. The overskirt didn't work for us, but I don't know if it would have in a stronger netting or tulle.
